"Boss Zhang, don't worry, this is not the county lord who is here in person, and I will give you the news when we discuss it!" Yao Xili replied with a smile.

"Yo, forgive Xiaomin for not knowing Mount Tai with eyes." Boss Zhang was about to kneel down and kowtow as he spoke.

Xia Qingyun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "No courtesy, this is not the place to speak, please sit upstairs." ”

Boss Zhang is a veteran in the business field, and he has great eyesight, so he smiled sideways and made his debut, "The county lord has something to talk to Shopkeeper Yao, so Xiaomin won't bother." ”

He hugged his fist at Yao Xili again, "Shopkeeper Yao, I'm waiting for your good news!" ”

Sitting down in the private room, Xia Qingyun said with a smile, "Call those two apprentices up, and I'll see how they learn." ”

After a while, two apprentices walked in behind the guy, Xia Qingyun took a look, and one of them she had the impression that it was Luo Hao, a little man who stammered, who hadn't seen him for more than two months, and his body seemed to be a lot stronger.

She beckoned Luo Hao to come closer, intending to test him, so she asked, "You first memorize the mantra of pot art for me to hear." ”

Luo Hao was not stage frightened at all, puffed up his chest and looked straight ahead, and recited "Daigo Shen Yun" fluently.

"Huh? I remember you used to stutter, how are you doing now? Xia Qingyun asked with a smile.

Luo Hao's face flushed, "It's not all good, I don't stumble when I endorse it." ”

Yao Xili said with a smile: "This child is the hardest working one, he came home for the New Year and heard that putting a stone in his mouth and even talking can cure a stammer, so he did the same, didn't even spit it out when he ate, and knocked out half of his teeth." ”

Xia Qingyun smiled. "It's sincere, but the stuttering can't be corrected in a day or two, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so you have to take it slowly. If you lose your teeth again, Qing Yunxuan won't want you. ”

Luo Hao's expression suddenly became nervous when he heard this, and Yao Xili smiled: "The owner is joking with you." Hurry up and practice the 18 styles of Daigo Shen Yun and show it to the owner! ”

Luo Hao was relieved, carrying a long-spouted copper kettle in one hand, and lifting a bowl on the table with the other, taking a few steps back, and putting the copper kettle up.

Fill with hot water. A copper kettle weighing more than a dozen catties flew in his hand. Sometimes hovering overhead, sometimes around the waist, a thin stream of water is poured into the bowl accurately.

After a while, Luo Hao gathered his momentum and stood still. Stand still with a calm mind.

"Good!" Xia Qingyun and the three of them clapped their hands in unison.

The other apprentice was a girl. rehearsed the woman's goodness like water. also got Xia Qingyun's praise.

The two children bowed excitedly and stepped back with the pot.

Yao Xili said: "County Lord, since you hit the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, you have made a splash. The reputation soon spread in the capital and the river, Qingyunxuan was overcrowded all day long, VIP cards were in short supply, dozens of dollars were sold in a day, and this alone got more than 30,000 taels of silver! ”

Hua Jingtian also continued: "No, when I was in the capital a few days ago, the people who came to the door to pull relationships almost broke the threshold." No, follow me to the river again. ”

"Pull the relationship?" Xia Qingyun asked rhetorically, "Could it be that they ask you to do something with me?" Except for the tea house business, I don't care about anything else. ”

Hua Jingtian shook his head and smiled: "How can it, they know that Zhenguo Gong has always been rigorous, and they hate people who form parties and run private interests the most." These friends of mine are all in business and want to co-open a teahouse with us! ”

Yao Xili continued: "I'm here too. Right now, dozens of people are living in the inn between the rivers, waiting for me to reply. That's why I said that if you don't come again, I'll have to go to the capital to invite you. ”

Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "This is a good thing, just do it according to what we agreed before, only open chain stores, and not share shares." ”

"That's what I said." Yao Xili replied: "The manpower we are training at the moment is only enough for ten teahouses at most, but there are dozens of people waiting there, and they are all old friends, which makes me in a dilemma!" ”

Xia Qingyun thought for a while, "It's better to set a reserve price, and give them ten places to bid, and the one with the highest price wins." ”

"Great idea!" The two of them stroked their palms at the same time.

The matter of the auction is tentatively scheduled, and the specific details will be handled by Hua and Yao. Xia Qingyun told them about the banquet of Yuzhou Jinshi the day after tomorrow, and after instructing him, he went to Zhuangzi to check.

The materials on the site have been prepared, the foundation has been dug, and the construction will begin when the weather warms up.

Hua Yun, Qiu Yun and Hua Ling heard that Xia Qingyun was coming, so they ran over while they were resting.

Everyone laughed and talked for a while, and Hua Ling shouted, "Eh, Mr. has struck the gong, we have to go back quickly." Sister Qingyun, I'll go play with you again at night! ”

"Let's go." Xia Qingyun urged them with a smile.

When it was time for school to get out, Xia Qingyun called them all to the house and had a big meal beautifully.

At night, Qiuyun stayed in the house, squeezed into a bed with Xia Qingyun, and the sisters whispered for half a night.

In a flash, it was the day of the banquet, and more than a dozen new science and technology scholars dressed in official uniforms came to Qingyunxuan together, attracting the attention of passers-by and tea guests.

Gu Guanghui, who was the leader, explained: "County Lord, it's not that we and others are deliberately showing off, the brothers are going to the mountains and the road is far away, and I don't know when and what month will we be able to get together again, so I wear official uniforms to let the county lord meet." ”

Gu Guanghui and Lin Hanxue served in the Hanlin Academy in the capital, but Xia Qingyun said that he was inviting all the Yuzhou students who came to Beijing to take the exam, so the two also came to Hejian.

Xia Qingyun smiled and raised his glass, "Your Excellency, you have finally gained a reputation after ten years of cold windows. I wish you all a smooth journey, conscientious and conscientious in your tenure, and make a great achievement! ”

Everyone drank it all, put down the wine glass, and one of them named Chen Haoran said: "I was able to go to Beijing to take the exam thanks to the county lord's sponsorship, although I have achieved fame, but the place where I work is remote and poor, even if I work hard, I may not achieve anything, I am afraid that I will live up to the county lord's hard work." ”

As soon as he said this, the others also shook their heads and sighed.

Seeing this, Xia Qingyun felt a little sorry in his heart, if it weren't for his own sake, they might have been able to get some better errands.

She raised her glass again and said, "Don't hide it from you, you may have also heard about the factional strife in the court. If it weren't for me and Zhen Guogong, maybe you wouldn't have been assigned to Biansai. ”

"The county lord's words are wrong!" A man named Huang Mingyuan waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister Nangong Xi has always been good friends with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households. ”

Others said: "Don't blame yourself, the county lord, our dream of achieving fame has come true, and it is only because we are in the border area that we can't serve the country, so we complain." ”

"Not necessarily." Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "Even in a poor place, you can make a difference. Dry this glass of wine first, and I'll tell you more! (To be continued......)
