Every time Qiao Xi said a name, his expression would change, and the people here only knew that the things in her mouth were beautiful, but they didn't know its name, but she could say it accurately, which made him very curious about her.

"Girl, please inside."

Qiao Xi smiled and walked into the inn after Robert, she didn't miss the change in his face.

"How did the girl know the names of these gems?" After welcoming people into the house, Robert asked straight to the point.

"I don't know, I took it myself. I don't know if you have any of these things. I used to buy some from a guy and liked it, and he told me that he had swapped it with a blue-eyed and yellow-haired man. ”

"Then you deliberately approached Lisa." Robert said with a frown.

"No, how do I know what country the man is talking about. You're not the only one who looks like you here, you can really think about it. Qiao Xi listened to his words, and his face instantly fell.

This man's imagination is really rich enough, what does she mean to deliberately approach Lisa and them, why should she deliberately approach them, what are they worthy of her deliberate approach.

"Robert, Xi is illiterate." Lisa immediately refuted Robert's words, how could Robert say this, she didn't do anything well, and they also took the initiative to ask her to help, how could it be said that Xi deliberately approached them, Robert was really too much.

"What do you know, people's hearts are sinister, and it's a big deal here." Robert yelled at Lisa.

"I don't have time to watch you perform here, so I say goodbye." If their internal contradictions are resolved by themselves, it is better that she, a big cadre, should not stay here.

"Xi~~" Lisa looked at Qiao Xi with some grievances, with an apologetic face.

"It's just that they meet in the water, and they cherish each other." Without looking at the others, he left with his younger brother and his subordinates.

Seeing this, Lisa wanted to catch up and explain to Qiao Xi, but Roberto grabbed her wrist and stopped her movements.

"Lisa, are you crazy?" Robert looked at the disobedient Lisa in exasperation.

"Hmph, I hate you." Shake off Robert's clamp and run away crying.

"You also go back to my room and leave tomorrow." After Robert finished speaking, he left without looking back. He is not for their good, they don't know the sinister human heart, but they have only known each other for less than a day, so they trust others so much, and they don't know that they are betrayed.

If it weren't for the big cadres here, they wouldn't want to leave easily, he still had to have some scruples here, not in his own territory, it was better to keep a low profile.

This is just a small episode, Qiao Xi didn't pay attention to it at all, and it was over.

Out of the inn, the shop she was looking for for appeared in front of her like this, the shop had not been sold yet, it seemed that God was helping her.

Some people sell, naturally some people buy, as long as the price is satisfactory to both parties, the business is done.

Qiao Xi bought it sincerely, the shopkeeper sold it sincerely, the two hit it off, and there was no bargaining, she took the shop down at a price of one thousand taels.

went to the yamen to go through the formalities, and the shop was completed so easily, which was much easier than the transfer of a real estate in the Celestial Empire, and everything was done in an hour.

The main line is to accompany the eldest brother to Tanzhou for the exam, and the secondary line is to open a shop, and she wants to infiltrate her industry into all corners of Daqian little by little.

They arrived first, Rose came later, the Linglong Fang of Liaoyun Mansion is now in the hands of Qiao Xin, before Qiao Xin was still a waiter in the cake house, and later came to see him talk to the guests, eloquence, so he transferred him to the Linglong Fang of Rose, let him learn more by Rose's side, after a year of experience, she decided to let him be the sole manager of Linglong Fang Liaoyun Mansion.

Rose will take people from Liaoyun Mansion directly to Tanzhou, calculate the time, probably after the end of the first round of exams of the eldest brother, it will almost arrive, and then the follow-up can be handed over to her directly, she is ready to be a hands-off shopkeeper, all the processes opened by Liaoyun Mansion in Linglong Fang, Rose is watching from the sidelines, I believe she can do a good job, she just needs to go to see it from time to time, use people without suspicion, and don't use suspicious people.

The township test, like the hospital test, is also an end of the test, and it is held every two days.

The two days passed quickly, the door of the examination room opened early, and all the candidates slowly walked out of the examination room with their broken bodies exhausted.

Some of the older ones need to rely on the support of the younger ones to be able to move like a snail.

Qiao Xi waited outside early with her younger brother, she was tall and tall, and she stood in an excellent position, and at a glance she saw the dazzling face of the eldest brother who was thrown in the crowd, "Big brother." Qiao Xi waved his hand at Qiao Song loudly.

There are so many people, and there are constant buzzing sounds around him, Qiao Song actually didn't hear his sister's voice, but he just habitually looked up, and when he looked up, he saw his sister waving his little hand at him, and he also waved back, walked in their direction, and soon came to them, "Why do you stand so high, be careful of falling, hurry down." Qiao Song pulled Qiao Xi down from the stone pier, "You are a sister, be a good example, you, don't learn from your sister." After counting Qiao Xi and reminding Qiao Bai, the sister and brother glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness, and the eldest brother came again.

After returning to the inn where he stayed, Qiao Xi didn't ask how he did in the exam, so he went to the kitchen to give Qiao Song Zhang Luo good food and good food.

Instead, Qiao Bai sat on the chair and reported to Qiao Song about their great achievements in the past two days, "Big brother, let me tell you, my sister bought two more shops, and spent a total of 1,800 taels, one I know that I want to open a branch of Linglong Fang, and the other I don't know, big brother, how many shops do you plan to open in the eldest sister, our family shouldn't need so many shops now." After three years, Qiao's family has long been different from what it used to be, and it is a character in Fuyang County, but they have always been low-key, not like some people, they think their identity is the same when they have money, and they are in a hurry to move out of Qiaojia Village, they still live in Qiaojia Village, and the relationship with the villagers of Qiaojia Village is getting along more and more harmoniously.

"Be careful that your sister knows that you are reporting behind her back again, and she will directly cut off your food in the future, see what you will do then." Qiao Song smiled and glanced at his younger brother.

"I didn't make a small report, I just shared with you what my sister did. Don't talk nonsense. Qiao Bai didn't admit that he was making a report, he was obviously sharing with his eldest brother their great achievements in the past two days, lest he say that they didn't bring him with him, but he also started to play the drum in his heart, their sister is the ruthless character, and he and the eldest brother have to listen to her.

"yes, what are you nervous about?"

"I'm nervous."

"Didn't you? I can see your legs trembling. Qiao Song deliberately looked at his brother's leg to prove that he was telling the truth.

Qiao Bai was really fooled by Qiao Song, and looked down at his legs, "Big brother is talking nonsense, I'm just ~~~ Big brother, you're too much." Only then did I realize that he was fooled by his eldest brother, woo woo, why do you always like to bully him.

"Hahaha, you stupid boy." It's so much fun to tease him.

"So happy, what are you talking about?" Qiao Xi walked in with four dishes and one soup, and he could hear the hearty whisper of the eldest brother from a distance.

"No~~ nothing." Qiao Bai was startled, but he didn't expect his sister to come in at this time, and he was a little stammering.

"Really?" Qiao Xi deliberately dragged out the tail note very long, squinting his eyes and looking at his little brother in disbelief.

"Really, really, if you don't believe it, you can ask Big Brother."

Qiao Xi turned his head to look at the eldest brother, Qiao Bai took advantage of the fact that his sister couldn't see it, folded his hands and asked the eldest brother not to say anything.

Qiao Song smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, what to do today." "Change the subject at the right time.

"Today there was beef in the kitchen, I made beef stew, and corn keel soup. Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat. ”

"Wow, there's beef to eat." Qiao Bai heard that there was beef to eat, but he was excited, beef is not often available, he has only eaten it twice in the past few years, you can't buy beef in the market, cows can't be slaughtered privately, you can't be excited if you can eat it.

"If you want to eat, go and wash your hands."

"Right now." There are delicious food, and then there are other things to care about, and they run faster than rabbits.

Qiao Xi looked at his younger brother who ran out like the wind, and shook his head with a smile, why is he still so childish.

The three exams passed quickly, and after each exam, the candidates who put down the pressure would be completely crazy, spreading their legs and playing, while secretly anxious about their results in the bottom of their hearts.

At the end of August, the results of the township examination will be officially announced. 19th Floor Literature

During the period when it was not revealed, the waiting was the most grinding, and on the day of the reveal, the lobby of the inn was crowded with people.

In the past, the very few people who only studied hard and didn't even leave the room after the exam were over, at this time, they couldn't help but get ready to move, and they occupied a favorable position in the lobby early.

"Little Er, another pot of tea."

"Okay, wait a minute."

"Little Er, another plate of peanuts."

"Hey, here we go."

Early in the morning, Xiao Er began to be so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and the consumption of tea and snacks on this day rose in a straight line.

These candidates are not the only ones who are paying attention to this exam. If you pass the township examination, even if you can't pass the general examination, you can't be ranked in a high position, but it is the priority object of each department's recruitment, and it is more than enough to be a well-organized historian in any department.

In layman's terms, if you can put down your body and are willing to give in, you can properly eat public meals, commonly known as iron rice bowls.

Those who passed the township test are also talked about in the eyes of the people, regardless of their ranking, they are all golden beetles inlaid with gold.

It is not uncommon to catch a son-in-law under the list in the township test. In the past, after every township test, there were new people who were directly caught in the cave room, and many people still took a very fancy to the identity of scholars.

On the day of the announcement, the gambling house that understands the yuan plate is set up, and the people involved in this gambling are probably more concerned about this exam than the candidates, and maybe some of the people who bet are more anxious than the candidates themselves.

On this day, it seems that the atmosphere of the entire Tanzhou has been poured with a pot of hot oil, and people are in a hurry.

Qiao Xi and they are always half a beat slower than people, as if they are not in a hurry, and when they arrive in the lobby, there is no spare place for them to stay, there are too many people, so Qiao Xi only left Furong by her side, and the rest of the people were sent back to the room by her.

The shopkeeper had already practiced kung fu in the face of such a thing, and asked Xiao Er to move four chairs to Qiao Xi and them.

As soon as he sat down, an inappropriate voice said in a strange voice: "The kid is calm, everyone has come out, just you came out so late, could it be that you already have a mind about Xie Yuan?" Even Shao Bing didn't dare to hold it up. ”

Qiao Xi looked up, cut, who should she be, it turned out to be him, why is this a good scar and forgot the pain, and wanted to point the finger at her eldest brother again.

"This grandfather is good, in fact, for me, sooner or later, even if he is not here, it is his ability, if he is not successful, it is in vain to look forward to it, we treat it more normally."

Grandpa, called the man red-faced, and wanted to speak to defend himself, but he felt that it was not a gentleman's doing, so he turned his head angrily.

Qiao Xi's grandfather not only said that the bearded man was embarrassed, but the others also stiffened, this girl spoke so sharply, this girl is not easy to provoke, they should obediently wait for the good news.

Qiao Xi glanced at the audience, well, the roots of the ears can be cleaned, salty and radish are not worried, which is higher and which is lower, I will see for a while, I hope that the slap in the face will not be too fast.

Like the hospital examination, the results of the township examination are also announced in the way of reporting the good news before the list is posted, and the battle of the good news is larger and more solemn than the hospital examination.

The annunciation began after noon, as the annunciation time approached, the atmosphere in the inn gradually became more and more anxious, some people stretched their necks to look out, some people couldn't bear to stand up and walk around the lobby, and some people poured tea one after another.

Seeing the expressions of everyone in the lobby, when everyone was restless, she found that there was a person who was as calm as them, drinking tea without hurry, and looked confident.

Without a trace, he pushed the eldest brother's arm and pouted, "Big brother, who is that person?" ”

Qiao Song followed her gaze and explained to Qiao Xi in a low voice, "His name is Shao Bing, a native of Tanzhou, born in a scholarly family, talented and intelligent, and he is the number one candidate to win Xie Yuan in this township test." ”

"No wonder I'm so calm, I just wrote that I am Xie Yuan on my face."

"Silly girl, people are confident."

"What about you, big brother, do you think you can get by?"

"Didn't you say it, just be normal."

While the brother and sister were whispering, there was a sudden commotion!

"The good news, the good news begins......"

"Good news?" The people in the inn all stood up at once, and they all squeezed towards the door.

"Report, Liyang Mansion Wang Chunwang High School Tanzhou Township Examination 98th, Liyang Mansion Wang Chunwang Master High School Tanzhou Township Examination 98th! Report ......" The gongs and drums sounded in unison, the two horses were side by side, and the sound of the good news was getting closer and closer. Like the college examination, the ranking of the good news is also reported from the back to the front, and the ninety-eighth place is reported at the beginning of this direction, which means that the hundredth and ninety-ninth places have been reported. It's just not on their street.

"Who is Wang Chun, Wang Chun?" The people in the inn all looked at each other, no one had heard the name Wang Chun, it seemed that it was not from their inn.

The official rode a tall horse, stepped on the dust at the door of the inn, and then ran straight past without hesitation.

"Alas......" The people in the inn sighed in unison, and returned to their seats to wait.

"Three more places are missing." Some people are disappointed that these are people who are not very confident in themselves, thinking that even if they can pass, they may only be the tail of the crane. With three places missing, it means they have fewer opportunities.

The township test is different from the hospital test, and Qiao Xi can still be quite calm in the hospital test, but the township test is different, and his eyes can't help but look towards the door of the inn.

"Here we go again, here we go again......"

"Report ......" Except for a very few people in the inn, they all gasped, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Report, congratulations to the eighty-sixth place in the Tanzhou Township Examination of Zheng He Old Master High School in Dajiang County, and the eighty-sixth place in the Tanzhou Township Examination of Zheng He Old Master High School in Dajiang County......" Two horses whizzed past the inn door again.

"Alas! There is less hope again. Sighs of disappointment were constantly sounding in the inn.

There are many lamentations of disappointment, even if a person with a good mentality will be stirred up to be nervous, Qiao Song looked calm, in fact, his clenched fist betrayed his calmness, and his heart beat even faster.

"Brother, are you nervous, it's okay, everyone is happy if you get in, if you can't pass the test, let's fight again next year, what's the big deal." Qiao Xi tried to adjust his voice, and then he comforted his eldest brother.

In such an atmosphere, it is really difficult not to be nervous. She's not very calm all the time.

"Report, Beijiang Prefecture Wang Yongfan Wang Lao Ye High School Tanzhou Township Examination 51st ......"

"Report, Henan Province Zou Zheng Zou Lao Ye High School Tanzhou Township Examination 34th ......"

The sound of the good news came one after another, and the people in the inn became more and more lost, they had already reported to the thirty-four, and none of them had been in it, and the negative atmosphere permeated the air over the inn, and it could not be dispersed for a long time.

After being quiet for a while, the voice of the good news came again, "Report, congratulations to Master Shao Bing Shao of Tanzhou for the fourth place in the Tanzhou Township Examination!" ”

"Fourth place! Shao Bing actually won the fourth place, isn't he the most likely person to Xie Yuan? ”

"It's just an estimate, there are so many talents in the township exam, who can accurately estimate their results before the exam? Before, he looked like a quasi-solution, but now. "Someone gloated.

"Alas, don't talk about it, fourth place, what a good result, for me, don't say fourth place, it's seventieth place, I'm just afraid that I have to run to the street to celebrate!"
