After the Dragon Boat Festival, Su Shen officially apprenticed to Mr. Bai.

On the day of apprenticeship, Yan Zhenwu went to Bailu Academy, and Hao Mengyun and Su Shen, who were women, and Meng Qize, who was just a baby, did not attend.

In the following months, Su Shen studied harder, and Meng Zhen continued to change his tricks to be the logistics manager for him.

In addition to bringing him and Shen Feng, Li Zhengshan, and Chen Jiabao, Meng Zhen also added a "monthly gift bag" to Su Shen's teacher, Mr. Bai's family.

Mr. Bai's wife is not in good health, so Meng Hao will send their family some precious medicinal materials produced in the small valley every time, these medicinal materials are all concocted by Su Shen before, plus the year is enough, and the natural nourishment, so the medicinal effect is very good.

In addition to these, Meng Zhen will also send them all kinds of new good tea, new styles of fabrics, all kinds of food made by herself, as well as all kinds of seasonal vegetables and fruits, fresh eggs, pheasants and hares brought by Aunt Guo.

Then there are all kinds of precious books that Meng Zhen asked Yan Zhenwu to ask Xu Da to come back from the heyday of Jiangnan's literary style.

If there is only one book, then Meng Zhen will leave it to Su Shen alone, and if there are two or more copies, Meng Zhen will ask Su Shen to take the extra one and send it to Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai's favorite thing is the medicinal herbs and books sent by Su Shen, the medicinal materials are because his wife can use them to recuperate, and the books are completely out of his personal preference.

As for other things, Mr. Bai usually throws them directly to his wife and daughter.

Because of this, Madame Bai and Miss Bai have always been quite curious about Meng Zhen - they really want to see what kind of woman she is who can make so much delicious food.

"Hahaha - hit! Hit! Ah Shen is talented! ”

It was late autumn, but Yan Zhenwu didn't feel cold at all, he shouted and laughed while hurrying into the Meng family's house in Huaihua Hutong.

Meng Zhen, who was waiting for the news in the main room of the Meng family's first courtyard, stood up when she heard the words.

She pressed Hao Mengyun, who was also standing up, "Master, don't move." ”

Hao Mengyun was about to give birth, and Meng Hao didn't dare to let her toss with her.

Leaving Hao Mengyun, who had sat back in the chair, in the room, Meng Hao quickened her pace and quickly ran all the way in the direction of the door.

"Zhen Zhen, you came just in time, quickly, quickly prepare the good money, the messenger who reported the good news is not far behind me." As soon as he saw Meng Zhen, Yan Zhenwu immediately beckoned to her.

Meng Hao smiled brightly, "Okay, I'll move the basket to the door." ”

"Hey-" Yan Zhenwu originally thought that he would move it, so that Meng Zhen could also free his hands to prepare snacks and tea, but who expected Meng Zhen to run faster than a rabbit, Yan Zhenwu had just said "hey", Meng Zhen had already pushed open the door of the west wing, rushed in and moved out a large basket full of copper plates.

"I'm going to prepare tea and snacks, and the messenger for the good news will be handed over to you, Uncle Yan." As she spoke, Meng Hao pointed to the top purses of the basket.

These purses, filled with loose silver, were specially prepared for the first group of officers who came to announce the good news.

In addition to them, the rest of the other good newsmen, Yan Zhenwu can only send them a few copper plates.

Of course, this is because the Meng family is just a little rich.

Those who are much richer than the Meng family naturally give more silver and copper coins, and some families finally have a merchant with a meritorious scholar, and even hold a running water banquet to celebrate.

And those who are poorer than the Meng family will naturally give less silver and copper coins. The more extreme people, even those who rushed to give them the good news in the first place, would only take a dozen copper plates to send away.

Of course, some of them are because they are picky enough or have other special reasons, but many more people are really because of the word "poor".

"Good news-congratulations to Yulin Village, Ninghai County--Master Su Shensu--fifth place in high school Xiucai——"

"Good news-congratulations to Yulin Village, Ninghai County--Master Su Shensu--fifth place in high school Xiucai——"

“......”

Meng Zhen had just finished making the tea, and there was already a sound of good news from the messenger outside the gate who deliberately raised the volume.

All the houses in the alley had their doors open, and one or more people in each house poked their heads out of the door.

Yan Zhenwu looked happy, he welcomed the two messengers who reported the good news into the courtyard, and then stuffed two purses each.

The purse is filled with two taels of small silver bills, and the purse itself is from a well-known time-honored embroidery village in the county, and the price is about 50 yuan.

The two errand officers are both knowledgeable people, and they have already done a good idea of how much income they can earn from this trip.

Yan Zhenwu warmly invited them into the house for tea, but the two servants smiled and waved their hands to refuse.

They still have to go to other people's houses to have a good time and get a reward, but they can't continue to delay time here in Su Shen.

So, the two officers soon went to the other people's house together.

Like them, who transfer to other people's homes halfway, basically won't catch up with the first dial after that, but not the first dial, they can also get some copper plates, right?

The two errand servants Mei Zizi, carrying four taels of silver per person belonging to them, continued to go to the other people's families to say goodbye, and Yan Zhenwu, who stayed in place, was directly overwhelmed by a swarm of neighbors who came to say goodbye.

These people can't be sent away with rewards, after all, they are not people who specialize in eating this bowl of rice.

Yan Zhenwu could only follow what he had discussed with Su Shen and Meng Zhen before, first thank everyone one by one, and then tell them, "... There is a lot of inconvenience today, so I won't invite everyone into the house to sit. Another day, our family Ah Shen will come to the door in person and invite everyone to eat and drink. ”

The neighbors also knew that the Meng family must be busy and chaotic today, so everyone didn't bother, said goodbye, and they left in twos and threes.

Let's talk about Meng Zhen and Yan Zhenwu.

Meng Zhen is okay, she just needs to stay in the house and change a cup of tea from time to time, but Yan Zhenwu has been guarding the door, and a group of people come to report the good news and say good news, Yan Zhenwu grabbed a handful of copper plates and distributed them to those who specialize in eating this bowl of rice.

After an hour of this, Su Shen, who went out to look at the list, was finally able to get out.

He said goodbye to his classmates who had gathered around him to congratulate him, and hurried back to his house.

"Uncle Yan." Seeing that Yan Zhenwu was still standing at the door, Su Shen hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards him.

"Ah Shen, you're back!" Yan Zhenwu smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "Quick, come into the house and rest." ”

He saw Su Shen being surrounded with his own eyes, and then he came back alone to report to Meng Zhen and help Meng Zhen send the good news, so Yan Zhenwu knew the reason for Su Shen's exhaustion very well.

Looking at Yan Zhenwu with a concerned face, Su Shen couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He was indeed tired.

Although there were less than 100 academy students surrounding him just now, those people were very different from those who came to report the good news and say good news.
