Meng Qing is on an errand in the government, mainly for the management of the clerical warehouse, but he is not the main bookkeeper, but the person under the master bookkeeper, who holds a scarce amount of money every month, although it is higher than the level of the person who specializes in carrying the sedan chair and the cook's maid, but it also belongs to the very bottom of the official government, and because he follows the master book, it is not too bad, and it is even possible to take over the position of the master bookkeeper in the future.

But it is only possible, and it is difficult to say when the chief secretary will step down, Meng Qing needs to be prepared to sit in this position for a few years, or even more than ten years, and it is better to say in other aspects, but he is not too young in the first place, and he has reached the age when he should get married.

He and Kan Qixi are in love with each other, although they have not reached the point of private life, but they also have the idea of not marrying each other.

But getting married is not a trivial matter, Kan Qixi's family background is not very rich, but it is not poor, but Meng Qing is really a poor boy, and Kan Qixi's parents also have some opinions about him.

Although she can have the opportunity to take over the position of chief bookkeeper, it will take at least ten years, who can afford to wait? Even if Kan Qixi can afford to wait, her parents will not let her wait, and the girl's youth will only be a few years in total? If Meng Qing has no ability, there will be no chance to wait for this marriage.

But in fact, Kan Qixi loves Meng Qing very much, and Meng Qing also loves Kan Qixi.

Meng Qing is a scholar, fair and handsome, very talented, but he missed the time to take the academy exam, the time of the opening of the examination and the morning examination of the Pear Blossom Academy is immediately followed, people with good grades can study in the Pear Blossom Academy, as long as they want to be an official, it is doomed, there will be no problems, and even the official position will not be low.

But if you fail to take the college entrance examination, according to the level of your grades, those who are too low can only return to their hometowns, and if they are too high and not enough to meet the standards of Pear Blossom Academy, they will go through the court examination again, just like Wang Chuan who was admitted to the academy with Guan Muyun.

And even if the results of the court examination are obtained, they only start from the bottom, and at most they are county magistrates, but the students who are admitted to the academy can directly enter the court and are the real pillars of talent.

Meng Qing missed the time and could only wait for the next opportunity, and during this period, he needed to live, so he found a job to help the master bookkeeper manage the paperwork, and he also had a certain talent, otherwise this position was not something that could be filled by reading a few books casually.

It can be said that Meng Qing's potential is still very high, he can take over the position of chief bookkeeper in ten years if he takes a step back, and he only needs to wait for a few years to go further, as long as he can be admitted to the academy, it will be a step to the sky, and even if he falls off the list from the academy, he will have the opportunity to get a county order, no matter what, he can't be an ordinary person.

But when you are down, who cares about your future, after all, it is something that has never happened, and only family and loved ones will support you, but no one will always support you except your family.

At least Meng Qing still has Kan Qixi supporting him now.

But there have been some situations recently, because he found that Kan Qixi was borrowing money everywhere, and even heard some very unpleasant words from those who were borrowed money by Kan Qixi.

He thought that Kan Qixi had encountered some difficulties, so he specially advanced money to the master bookkeeper, although it was not a lot, but he wanted to do his best to help Kan Qixi.

Because he was busy with official business, he hadn't seen Kan for many days, and he was very surprised to see him at this moment.

In his mind, if Kan Qixi encountered any difficulties, he should be full of sadness, but now Kan Qixi is full of red light, not to mention how energetic he is, and the temperament of the whole person seems to have changed somewhat.

Although he doesn't attach much importance to appearance, it can be clearly seen that Kan Qixi is more than several times better looking than before.

Thinking of the recent incident about the cream, Meng Qing was very surprised and said, "Xixi, you also bought the cream?"

Kan Qixi turned around in front of Meng Qing very happily and said, "Sure enough, there is such a big change? ”

Unlike her parents, Kan Qixi has always felt that she is not worthy of Meng Qing, because Meng Qing is very good-looking, but she is not good-looking, she has been distressed for a long time, and always feels that Meng Qing will leave her one day.

Her desire for clotting is strong, because it is love that sustains her, and she can do anything about it.

Meng Qing was a little incomprehensible for a while, he knew how popular the cream was, it was a woman's nature to love beauty, even men were no exception, but the price of the cream was really expensive, and it was always necessary to do what he could.

The price of a bottle of cream cream for ordinary people, it may not be earned in a lifetime, is it for the sake of beauty, even a home is gone?

Although this is rare, and not all of them are so extreme, it does exist.

Now Kan Qixi has also bought clotting cream, which can't help but make Meng Qing very worried.

The government has a lot of contact with the cream, and he also knows very well that the woman who just wants to buy a bottle of cream at the beginning, because she can't resist the temptation to continue to be beautiful, when the effect of a bottle of cream is lost, and her appearance becomes unbearable again, she can't accept this gap in her heart, and she will continue to buy it, thus becoming out of control.

But of course, Meng Qing couldn't say something ugly directly, but said persuasively: "Xixi, you are the best in my eyes, things like clotting cream are bottomless pits, just buy a bottle, don't continue to buy it." ”

Scholars have the most abundant knowledge, but they are definitely not the most able to speak, and even some readers have very stupid mouths and straight brains, although there are many readers who have very powerful mouths, but they are still not good at rhetoric.

Most of the readers are synonymous with stubbornness and pedantic, and the great truths are one after another, and it cannot be denied that there are some readers who are different, but Meng Qing is obviously not among them.

However, Meng Qing's concern for Kan Qixi is also fully revealed.

He was just worried that Kan Qixi would also be addicted to cream, so he would spend all the money in the family, although he was already trying his best to earn money, staying in the clerical room every day and night, but if he came across such a luxury item as cream, I am afraid it would be a miserable thing.

And most importantly, he had seen women who had gone crazy with cream, and he didn't want Kan to be like that.

Kan Qixi was immersed in the joy of her skin becoming tender and becoming more beautiful, she didn't listen to Meng Qing's words seriously, she just pulled Meng Qing very happily, and said casually: "I'll just buy one bottle, this thing is so expensive, even if it's good, I can't afford it." ”

Kan Qixi just wanted Meng Qing to see the most beautiful version of himself, and nothing else mattered.

And Meng Qing just looked at Kan Qixi very dotingly, of course he would unconditionally believe in Kan Qixi, and he also firmly believed that Kan Qixi was a woman with her own ideas, as long as Kan Qixi was happy, he would be happy.

......

At night, the weather is still hot and dry.

But the enthusiasm of Jinzhou City has not diminished.

Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan lived in the Xianfu Inn in Jinzhou City, they did not live in the most luxurious independent courtyard, but just ordinary two rooms, there were many cultivators in the Xianfu Inn, and there were nearby mountain disciples who lived temporarily, but most of them were just mountain monks.

Xiao Zhinan can also be regarded as witnessing the popularity of the cream, which swept the entire Jinzhou City and even the surrounding towns in a short period of time, which is really incredible.

Although she was also interested in cream, but the price was so expensive, just to buy a bottle of high-grade rouge gouache, she was obviously unwilling, even if she had silver, she would not waste it on inconsequential things.

But what Li Mengzhou has been thinking about is how much money that Lang Divine Doctor has made because of this, which is simply a huge profit.

It's really envious, jealous and hateful.

"It turns out that pharmacists can make money like this. Li Mengzhou recalled that Long Lao had eaten and waited for death in Shuning Town, although he guessed that Long Lao was just a wild traveling doctor, but in the ordinary world, he was definitely at the level of a divine doctor, and he would not be worse than Lang Divine Doctor in Jinzhou City, but he was enough to eat a full meal in Shuning Town.

Although Long Lao had some intentions for him, after all, he got along for so long, even if Li Mengzhou killed Long Lao with his own hands, he actually didn't hate him much, he was able to rely on his body tempered by medicinal baths, and escaped death many times, it was also the credit of Long Lao, he was actually very grateful to Long Lao.

But Long Lao wanted to kill him, and he couldn't sit still, every time he thought of it, he would be more sentimental.

Looking back now, the three years in Shuning Town were so free and carefree, and now it is impossible to go back to that time.

But he still wants to complain, although there are not many rich people in Shuning Town, but with the identity of Long Lao as an ordinary pharmacist, how can he earn some silver, why bother with him having to do odd jobs every day, almost everyone in Shuning Town has helped, so he can barely earn the copper plate for three meals a day, if he can't eat tofu flowers for free at Wang Paner, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to live.

He apparently selectively forgot about the hundreds of taels of silver he earned when he was 'floating' and hid them and didn't spend them.

Shuning Town is not the only town on the northwest border, although most of them are poor, and countless people are killed by starvation and freezing, but there will always be some people with silver in their hands, and Li Mengzhou was able to raise hundreds of taels of silver in just three years, which adds up to a lot, which shows how many people he killed at the border at that time.

Li Mengzhou didn't really want to recall those things, shook his head slightly, looked at Xiao Zhinan and said, "The grease cream has been robbed like crazy now, and the effect is obvious, don't you want to buy a bottle and try it?"

He could see that in fact, Xiao Zhinan was also very interested in cream cream, but because of her personality, she deliberately didn't show it, in fact, she liked it very much, after all, she was a girl, and it was normal to like rouge gouache.
