Not only Xu Youde was curious, but also the rest of Lao Xu's family was curious.

Especially Koshiro, his eyes are straight.

Liao Qing was not stingy, so he really took the big guys he was interested in to the backyard and visited the letter from the big academy.

***

At the end of the year, it was extremely busy.

The order in the wine shop was increased, and the shopkeeper of the He family firm personally ran several trips to Xujia Village, asking for a large number of gold list title wine, and the silver money was not a problem, and Xu Jiaojiao bargained, and finally Xu Jiaojiao gave a few thousand catties of amount, and the shopkeeper He thanked again and again.

Later, when I inquired, it turned out that it was possible to hand it over to the imperial court as a tribute wine this year.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't dare to be sloppy, but the insects of the Snow Stone Lotus over there in Ice Yang City had not been sent.

At the end of the year, Xu Jiaojiao urged Shopkeeper He several times, and finally sent a small bottle, and there were only about 20 bottles.

Said that last year was caught by He Boji almost, after the winter of this year, I have never heard of insects that make people crazy and hurt people, how to send people to catch, can not catch a few, let alone harvest, this kind of insects, not specialized people to catch, basically scattered is very difficult.

Fortunately, Mrs. He's condition improved.

The He family sent insects, and they didn't ask for Xu Jiaojiao's silver, so they sent them and left.

Inside is a letter written by He Yanxi himself.

The above is all sorry, saying that He Boji, this kid, went to the barracks, in previous years, he caught this bug, but this year he is not there, plus there are fewer bugs, and the acquisition can't be received, there are only so many, and they continue to collect, and if they have them, they will be sent again, if Xu Jiaojiao can't wait, see if there are ...... other places

Liao Qing read the letter several times.

He frowned and said, "Jiaojiao, this insect is so difficult to collect, the number of tranquilizing pills is not large, and the gold list title wine cannot be mass-produced, and it is rare and expensive, and this price is still a little lower." ”

Xu Jiaojiao said, "I didn't expect the snow lotus insects to be so difficult to collect, after all, He Boji brought so many people in the area before, fortunately, it was originally limited, and it was sold for a month a year. ”

Liao Qing snorted, and said, "The He family may have had an accident, not in order, otherwise, the He family would not be so lazy about your affairs." Do you still remember when we got married, the He family once said that someone came and no one came, saying that they were going to sea to do business, and they couldn't come back in time if there was a problem at sea? ”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded, "After that, He Boji went to the border to fight, will it have anything to do with it?" What really went wrong with the He family, so he sent He Boji to the border? But the He family's wine business has been working very well! I haven't heard anything wrong with Shopkeeper He, and it's always been in great demand......"

"It seems that there is no problem, in fact, let's taste the product again, after He Boji went to the border pass, he ordered a batch of wine for the border soldiers, before, He's business bank avoided suspicion, and Mrs. He's mother's side is not doing business, for fear of being criticized, but why suddenly set wine for the border soldiers? This time, our winery has clearly set the rules, only in the month of the annual talent examination can we provide a limited number of gold list title wine sales, He family firm has always respected the rules of our winery, why this year, we want to make an exception to provide, they take it as tribute wine? I guess it was a last resort......"

As soon as Liao Qing finished speaking, Xu Jiaojiao realized that his mind was too cautious.

"Do you mean that they have encountered some difficulties and need this batch of tribute wine to get their way? Or is it not a small hassle? It's not true that the number of insects is small, so what family has something to do and can't put too much effort into catching insects? He Boji went to the border pass to be a soldier, which was also a concession from the He family, and it was safer to send him to the border pass? ”

Liao Qing couldn't be sure, "It's just such a conjecture, and your stepfather didn't say it explicitly, so we can only guess, I hope we think about it more." ”

Saying this, it also made Xu Jiaojiao a little relieved.

It's a pity that people are soft-spoken now...... Didn't help much.

She can only help a little with silver here, but if the He family really wants to get into trouble, it can't be settled with silver money, the He family's silver money is hundreds of times stronger than she doesn't know, before, He Yanxi gave Xu Jiaojiao a thousand taels of wedding silver, she didn't touch it, and she still kept it...... Now the winery is making money every day, and in terms of money, she is no longer short of money.

Suddenly, Xu Jiaojiao thought of her senior brother Sun Zhijian again!

"My senior brother Doctor Sun has also suddenly entered Beijing recently, will there be any connection? He had helped his father-in-law He Yanxi treat his leg before......"

Liao Qing had a calm face, "It's really hard to say." Forget it, let's not think about it much, it's useless to think about it, let's look at the situation in the future, let's have a good year first. ”

"Well, yes, we can't help much, you are a showman, I am a village girl who can only make wine, let's have a good New Year! This gold list title wine, I will make it for the He family as soon as possible, and it is great to deduct Xiao Hei's monthly rations! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of tiles plucking from the roof.

It's like there's something wreaking havoc.

Xu Jiaojiao raised her head and said, "If a tile is broken, a tranquilizer pill will be deducted......"

Suddenly, there was no sound on the roof.

The He family and Doctor Sun didn't tell Xu Jiaojiao that what happened, it must be something they couldn't handle, and the two of them, a small couple in the countryside, really didn't worry about coming, so they could only live their own lives.

"That big guy, after you took the case exam, is the person who secretly followed you still there?"

Liao Qing groaned, "It seems that there is no more, it's okay, and we are not afraid." ”

He didn't say it, there seemed to be no one to follow, but his heart was even more unsteady, and there was a kind of precursor to the storm.

Xu Jiaojiao held his hand tightly and interlocked her fingers, "Well, we're not afraid." ”

Whatever happens, we all face it together.

Fearless of wind and rain.

……

***

The next day, an unexpected person from Lao Xu's family came to visit.

The town went to school, Mr. Li and Mr. Ji, both of whom came.

In the past, Mr. Ji visited Mr. Xu's house, but Mr. Li had taught in the town hall all his life, and he had never appeared in any student's house.

As soon as Mr. Li arrived in Xujia Village, he immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers to welcome.

After asking the reason, he made a special trip to congratulate Liao Qing on being admitted to the head of the Xiucai case, and everyone escorted the two masters all the way to the door of Lao Xu's house.

Xu Youde came out in person in a wheelchair to greet him, and Liao Qing was also very polite and welcomed the two masters into the house.

Old Master Li took the lead, and with some words of congratulations, he praised Liao Qing from beginning to end.
