Chapter 244: Tempting the Imperial Examination
I saw Chen Jisheng muttering something to my husband next to the medicine cabinet, and my husband's face looked very bad.
Bai Yu simply put down the work in his hand and went over with a cold face, "What are you doing?" ”
Seeing Bai Yu coming, Chen Jisheng hurriedly changed his face, "I'm here to buy medicine." ”
Looking at Yang Yanxi's expression, Bai Yu seemed to realize what was happening, so he called Xiao Cui, who was busy working next to him.
"Xiaocui, you come over to serve medicinal food."
Sensing that something was wrong with Yang Yanxi's mood, Bai Yu hurriedly instructed him aside, "The medicinal materials over there haven't been separated yet, you can go and divide them." ”
Fortunately for Bai Yu, Yang Yanxi passed obediently.
Subsequently, what was left for Chen Jisheng was Bai Yu's cold face.
"Bai Yu, I see that your business here is really good, and it is indeed your excellent medical skills."
Chen Jisheng originally wanted to make a few sycophants, so he had to let Bai Yu show a smile.
But Bai Yu listened to this old-fashioned words, and felt that if Chen Jisheng lived in modern times, he would definitely be that kind of dick man.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh, but she quickly hid the smile on her face.
How did poor Chen Jisheng know what Bai Yu was thinking, and racked his brains to think about the topic.
He found the table closest to Bai Yu and sat down, "You say, my medical hall is still a little short, no matter what, I have also been the shopkeeper for you, don't be too stingy." ”
Bai Yu's face was calm, if it weren't for the rules of the Medicinal Diet Hall not to drive people out, she would have wanted to beat this person out a long time ago.
From the moment I sat down, my mouth didn't stop, it was too noisy.
Yang Yanxi, who was instructed to the side, naturally pricked up his ears and listened carefully to their conversation.
"By the way, Bai Yu, I have a distant relative who is an official in the court, and I heard him say that the court will send people down this year to select talents and participate in the imperial examination.
"That is to say, there are no people in our village, and there are special talents and candidates in the places close to the capital every year."
Chen Jisheng unintentionally recounted what he had heard, wanting to attract Bai Yu's attention.
"No, all the medicinal materials you want are here, they have been weighed, just come here and pay two silver." Xiao Cui put the medicinal herbs packed in kraft paper in front of Chen Jisheng, and then pointed to the counter beside him.
There was no way to stay longer now, so Chen Jisheng had no choice but to pay, and left with some reluctance.
However, the speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and this participation in the imperial examination moved Yang Yanxi, who was picking up medicinal herbs.
In his early years, he also studied for a few years, and that student did not have a dream of taking the entrance examination, and now he will go directly to the village to select people, Yang Yanxi will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Watching Chen Jisheng leave, Yang Yanxi came to Bai Yu's side excitedly, "Lady, have you heard, I'm going to choose someone, and I'm also going to take the imperial examination." ”
"You've been away from books for years, haven't you? If it's really like what Chen Jisheng said, it won't take long to come to our village, can you finish the review? ”
Yang Yanxi thought for a while, "I think when I was a teenager, I was the fastest reader in the school, and the teacher always praised me, so I still want to give it a try." ”
Looking at Yang Yanxi's excited appearance, Bai Yu didn't say anything to discourage, looking a little helpless.
Bai Yu understood that he had single-handedly founded this medicinal restaurant, and the people in the village did not gossip about his husband inside and out.
Since he decided to use this opportunity to prove himself, he naturally didn't need to say much.
In the evening, they locked the door of the medicinal restaurant and went straight home.
Watching the husband dig out the worn-out book from the cabinet, it seems that he has really made up his mind.
"Lady, don't wait for me to sleep together from tonight, I have to read the Four Books and Five Classics for two hours at night to make up for the previous things."
Looking at Yang Yanxi, who was lying on the desk under the candlelight, Bai Yu quietly closed the door and went directly to the ground.
Thinking about it, it seems that I can only help so little.
As soon as I walked to the ground, I saw Li Shengmei who was still looking at the ground.
Since the last time the medicinal herbs were destroyed by Zhang Tiezhu's scoundrel, Li Shengmei has mentioned the spirit of 120,000, for fear that there will be any mistakes.
Bai Yu is so good to herself, if she doesn't do anything well, she herself will be embarrassed to stay any longer.
"Huh? White girl, why are you here so late? ”
"Anyway, I'm fine, I'll pick ginseng."
"Why aren't you coming home now?"
Li Shengmei looked a little embarrassed by this question, "Ah, I'll leave later." ”
"Are you feeling unwell? Why do you want to pick ginseng? ”
"My husband is going to prepare to participate in the imperial examination, and I am endorsing it these days, and I stay up late every night, and I want to make up for him." Bai Yu told the truth.
Although the medicinal herb field has been ruined by Zhang Tiezhu, fortunately, the whole army has not been wiped out, and there are still some left, and ginseng is one of them.
"That's good, it's a good thing to study and get famous, that's really a good thing to make up, if you come back in the future, let me know in advance, and I'll help you get it when I get home."
Li Shengmei said enthusiastically, she wants to do more things now that she gets her salary.
"Don't stay here any longer, go home quickly." Bai Yu intimately instructed that although Zhang Tiezhu and Han Fei's two hooligans would not come out to disturb people anymore, they were not very relieved to let Li Shengmei walk at night.
After going back, Bai Yu used the matching method he was good at to directly concoct a pot of ginseng soup, which felt very good looking at the taste and color.
After it came out, Bai Yu was directly brought to Yang Yanxi's room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yang Yanxi subconsciously turned his head, and when he saw the thing in Bai Yu's hand, he immediately realized, "The hard lady made soup for me so late." ”
"Husband, this kerosene lamp is too dark, don't tire your eyes, if not, you don't have to go to the medicinal restaurant these days, just rest assured at home, anyway, there are not many people in the past two days, Xiaocui and I are also busy."
Watching Yang Yanxi drink the soup, Bai Yu showed a satisfied look on his face.
"Probably not, I'm afraid you're tired, it's okay, I'm confident that you can balance well."
"By the way, I went to the medicinal herb field just now and took a closer look, except for some medicinal materials destroyed by Zhang Tiezhu, the rest of the growth is very good, I think it should be ready to use after it grows."
It took a lot of hardships to grow, and Bai Yu naturally regarded them as treasures.
"It's just that some of the destroyed ones are thrown away in vain and some waste, or we can just mash those and sell them, so it's not too much of a loss."
Listening to what Bai Yu said made sense, Yang Yanxi had no other opinions, just nodded.
"Okay, lady, it's up to you to decide these things."
"Then I won't bother you, I'll go to bed first."
Then, Bai Yu exited the room.
