Chapter 45: Wonderful People
Halfway through lunch, the Huang father and son came to the door and surprised Qin Xianglian a lot.
It is not easy for ordinary neighbors to see Huang Zheng, let alone come to the house in person.
And when she learned that Huang Shulang was going to apprentice, Qin Xianglian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and looked at Chen Mo's eyes from time to time, full of tenderness and admiration.
As soon as the letter of appointment of the teachings came down, someone came to worship the teacher with heavy gifts, and he was also the son of the old man, which he couldn't even think of before he put it.
It's a pity that she didn't know that Huang Shulang's apprenticeship was not reading, otherwise her jaw would definitely drop in shock.
In the early years, Huang Zheng and Lu Hanqing spent a few days together, and later they both worked as errands for the county government, and the relationship was still good, so this meal was also lively.
Since it was Chen Mo's house, it was natural to discuss him a little more.
And this also made Huang Zheng and Lu Hanqing even more shocked.
The former didn't expect that Chen Mo, who was at the bottom of the county test, actually had an amazing literary talent.
And the latter, it was unexpectedly that Chen Mo was still a practitioner.
When the curtain came down on a meal, the two of them also had a new definition of Chen Mo in their hearts.
Both civil and military!
In the future, you have to get closer.
"Shimei, in fact, I have one more thing to do today." Lu Hanqing said drunkly, "Today, the county trial release list, the county government prepared a dinner and invited the top five students to the table. Although you are not among them, you have been promoted to the rank of Teaching, so you will go into the city with the old man later. ”
"Uncle Lu, I'd better not go." Chen Mo has never liked that kind of excitement.
"Shimei, how can you easily shirk such a grand occasion?" Huang Zheng persuaded, "Take my uncompetitive son as an example, I can't dream of it." ”
"The official is now a teaching, and the affairs of the county government should be done with all his heart." Qin Xianglian was also on the side to persuade her.
"The main thing is that I drank a little too much at noon, and I was afraid of making jokes at the banquet, and how would I come back if I was late?" Chen Mo still didn't want to go.
"The old man sent someone to send you back." Lu Hanqing said.
"Not necessarily." Huang Zheng raised his hand to the side, "Shimei, let Shulang drive the carriage and enter the city with you later." If it's over, come back early, and if it's late, stay in the city for the night. By the way, don't let him follow you when you go to the banquet, lest you make a joke. ”
"Master, let me go with you." Huang Shulang said with hot eyes.
“……”
Chen Mo didn't speak, but looked at Qin Xianglian, in case he wanted to live in the city, he was a little uneasy.
"Official, the slave family just has something I want to discuss with you." Qin Xianglian stepped forward and said, "Now that the county test has been completed, and the official has been promoted to the priest, the slave family wants to go back to her mother's house." The first is that I haven't been back for a long time, and the second is that I will also go to report the good news, and I will return home tomorrow afternoon at the latest. ”
"Okay, you can drive the ox cart later, buy more things and go back, I will stay in the city tonight, and I will look for you tomorrow." Chen Mo directly made arrangements.
"Thank you, officer."
Qin Xianglian saluted everyone and went to work happily.
Her maiden home is in Linzhen, and she must leave as soon as possible.
Chen Mo is the same here, although it is a dinner party, it is actually a social field, and he still has to go there in advance.
"Shulang, after you go out, you have to listen to Shimei in everything, and you must not get into trouble, do you know?" Huang Zheng told before leaving.
"Dad, you're really verbose."
Huang Shulang grumbled and shook the whip in his hand.
The carriage was much faster than the ox cart, so it was still early after arriving at the county seat, and after greeting Lu Hanqing, Chen Mo motioned for Huang Shulang to go to Tanxing.
"Yo, Brother Mo is here?"
The sharp-eyed princess greeted her when she saw the figure.
"Childe really can't help but chatter, I just told my mother-in-law about you, and this is the door."
The beautiful book is also there, as bright as ever.
"Two, talk inside."
When he came to the inner hall, Silence directly took out Baoshan's contract documents.
"Wang Po, all the mountains are covered, five hundred taels of silver, no problem, right?"
"So expensive?" Hua Meishu said in surprise, "I've been to Baijiazhuang, and the mountains there can be said to be indifferent, isn't five hundred taels too much?" ”
"What does the princess think?" Chen Mo did not answer the rhetorical question.
"It's a bit expensive, but since it's Brother Mo'er's idea, the old woman won't say much." Mrs. Wang didn't have any opinions.
"Then sign it." Chen Mo urged.
"Childe hasn't answered my question yet?" The beautiful book feigned anger.
"You don't have to answer, because it's not a question at all." Chen Mo briefly explained, "First, there is no time limit for the mountain contract, that is, it is valid permanently. Second, don't look at the crops and trees that can't be planted there, in fact, they are all treasures, and they can be turned into real money with a little transformation. ”
"What is Childe going to do?" Huamei was curious.
"What to do, Miss will naturally know then." After Chen Mo finished selling Guanzi, he changed his words and said, "By the way, have you talked about Zuixiangzhai?" ”
"On the day that Childe sent someone to deliver the letter, it was already in hand, and it is currently being renovated." Huameishu is blunt.
"How long will it take?" Chen Mo asked.
"It's all minor repairs, and it will take three days at most."
"Okay, then we'll open in five days." Chen Mo thought about it and said.
"So fast?" Huamei Book was a bit of a surprise.
"The sooner you make money, the better." After Chen Mo finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye, "Today's county trial list, there will be a dinner in the academy later, so I will go first." ”
"How many are Childe High School?" Hua Meishu asked casually.
"First to last." Chen Mo replied truthfully.
Forehead......
Hua Meishu and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, thinking they were joking.
"Brother Mo, you won't take the first place in the county test and deliberately say that you will entertain us, right?" Mrs. Wang quipped.
"Childe is brilliant, how can he be ranked first from the bottom?" Hua Meishu also shook his head, "Besides, how can the penultimate one go to the banquet?" ”
"It's the penultimate one." Chen Mo smiled bitterly and told Mrs. Wang, "I drank some wine at noon, I almost forgot about business, and I don't need to give the money I prepared for Huang Zheng." ”
"Why?"
Mrs. Wang was puzzled, just now she wanted to ask how much was appropriate to send Huang Zheng, and she was even ready for heavy bleeding.
"Because today's Huang Zheng is half of his own person." After Chen Mo finished speaking, he pulled his feet and walked out, "Wang Po remember to keep the contract documents, it is a real cornucopia." ”
Cornucopia?
Looking at Chen Mo's back, Huameishu fell into deep thought, and couldn't figure out what those mountains in Baijiazhuang could be used for.
Puzzled, he looked at the contract documents.
A little, the face changed greatly.
"Lady Wang, take a look, is there Chen Mo's signature on it, and the word "teaching" is signed?"
Teachings?
Wang Pozi was shocked, and hurriedly reviewed it again.
I looked at it and laughed out loud.
"Meishu, what my mother-in-law said is right, Brother Mo is a wonderful person. It's a pity that you met late, otherwise I would have to pull a marriage line among you. ”
