Miss Meng just smiled, her girl was not only delicious, but also very lazy.

"You're all that mouth left, do you know how to do it, what to do it with?"

"If you think of a way, you can still know."

Ziyi muttered in a low voice, and said in her heart, if the young lady went to ask the scholar how to make smoothies, the scholar would be happy to hold it with both hands.

"You dead girl, you can't hear what you're talking about," Miss Meng heard faintly, and could only pretend not to hear it.

Master Meng didn't listen to his daughter's frolic, he was still thinking about the small talk with Zhu Fuzi a while ago.

Zhu Fuzi and him are also old acquaintances, both of them are descendants of the Holy Family, and they often get together in the capital, this time they came to Yangzhou, and Master Meng had to visit his old friend no matter what he said.

During the chat, Zhu Fuzi really praised the local talents in Yangzhou, and especially mentioned one person, that is, Yuan Rui, and took out his strategies and poems.

This kid really made Master Meng look at him differently, not to mention his knowledge, the young man who could be praised by Zhu Fuzi could say it clearly in the whole Great Xia.

In business, even the Sun family and the Lu family followed behind to carry the sedan chair, who could catch up with such a mind.

The silent healing of Mrs. Xu, not to mention the favor, the key is the accumulation of medical knowledge, that insight, even his brother-in-law is ashamed of himself, what kind of monster is this!

After a few people finished resting, they hurried again.

Three days later, on the seventh day of the seventh month, the day of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Mr. Meng's family entered the capital. Not far from the city gate, before I got home, I heard a burst of shouting from the street.

Smoothies, smoothies, river smoothies, cool summer!

Ziyi shouted excitedly again, "Miss, Smoothie!" You see, smoothies! ”

Miss Meng didn't care about reprimanding this girl, leaned out, looked at the words Xiaohe Smoothie, and was stunned for a moment!

Yuan Rui started to be the shopkeeper, and for the smoothie business, he purely wanted to find something to do for Xiaohe, where would he care so much. After discussing with Miss Xu, she came back and pulled the second son over, told him about the opening of the store in the capital, and asked him what he wanted to do.

The second son is not a hypocritical person, and the name of the Xu family in the capital must be hung, as long as the materials go from the Lu family.

But Yuan Rui doesn't think so, if it is just the Xu family and Xiaohe, there are great variables in the future, my brother-in-law is already an official in the capital, and he has some connections, and some things have to be started from the bottom personnel.

According to Yuan Rui's meaning, Xiaohe still accounts for the majority, because the store and manpower are from the Xu family, Yuan Rui thought about being simpler, the shopkeeper wants the Lu family faction, Xiaohe is in charge of all the funds and materials, the Lu family accounts for 30%, and Xiaohe accounts for 30%.

The second son felt that it was inappropriate, in a place like the capital, the Xu family was a big tree, and the Lu family was a small grass. Miss Xu just watched Xiaohe invest in the fate before joining the shares, and the Lu family is best a subordinate existence in this.

The second son has some words that he didn't say clearly, Miss Xu always has to get married, no accident, these industries are future dowries, the owner will change, once Miss Xu's husband's family has other ideas, it will not be good.

The two later thought of a compromise, the capital Xiaohe accounted for forty percent, the Lu family one percent, the sister one percent, Yangzhou Xiaohe also took out one percent to the Lu family, the sister is still three percent, and the control of the Yangzhou shopkeeper's dividends also belongs to the Lu family.

After more than ten days, Miss Xu came, and for business, she went back to the capital once.

Taking out the account book, Miss Xu said directly.

"Since the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the Xu family has opened 18 shops, three in the inner city, exclusively for the palace, five in the imperial city, most of them for the civil and military ministers who live nearby, and ten rooms in the outer city, which cost 1,200 taels of silver. Each cup of the inner city is ten Wen, the Imperial City is seven Wen per cup, and the outer city is five Wen per bowl. ”

Looking at the surprised expressions and widening eyes of the two, Miss Xu snickered in her heart, these two are also laymen, soil buns.

"A total of 1,980 taels of cashier in ten days, removing all costs, is basically equal."

Yuan Rui and the second son were really stunned! Business can still do that!!

In fact, it's no wonder that how did they know that the young ladies of the Wei Mansion were generally going to enter the royal family. A few years ago, someone in the palace handed over the message, and the position given was very good, the princess of Chu.

But Wei Guogong is not stupid, as the first prince of Great Xia, he doesn't want to participate in the succession.

In other words, the old guy didn't take a fancy to the King of Chu and thought that the King of Chu had no role in that position. Therefore, I didn't refuse directly, it happened that Mrs. was seriously ill, and Miss Xu was filial piety, so she dragged it down.

"Where are you doing this, it's difficult to do business in the capital, if you don't do it well, it's a group of people who will be offended."

Miss Xu still explained slightly, "So, I took it and said that it was my business, and a few of them were still for face." ”

Miss Xu first went to the palace and found Yun Guifei, who is now in charge of the palace, that is, the mother of the seventh princess.

A well-prepared smoothie with some rarities will achieve the goal. Miss Xu thought of this when she entered Beijing, and a few bowls of smoothies first finished the best friend of the Seventh Princess.

The next step is much simpler, for the Xu family, this can't be regarded as a business, and that little money is really not worth it.

She is the eldest lady of the Xu family, and she will be the master of the palace in the future, who dares to go against her at this time, it will not be a dead end in the future.

"Otherwise, you still take the lion's share of this business," Yuan Rui said dizzily.

"Look at your little bit of talent, aren't you a hot brain!" Miss Xu glanced at Yuan Rui with disdain.

"Yes, yes, yes, we will rely on you in the future!" The second son pulled Yuan Rui, and even changed his title.

"Then I'm not polite, let's put it this way, I will have more business to do in the future, as long as Miss Xu is willing, it will be counted as you," Yuan Rui deeply felt, hugging his thighs to make money!

"Yes, I heard that the piece of armament materials is made in silver, and Yuan Gongzi can teach me!" Miss Xu immediately began to climb the pole.

"It's all gadgets, not on the table, wait for my township to try it out, before the end of the year, make a few more industries out, say okay, count you in."

Yuan Rui really wasn't joking, "First make portable military rations, and then make single armaments." “

Miss Xu looked at Yuan Rui, "Seriously, not kidding?" Originally, this was a sentence that ridiculed Yuan Rui, but it turned out to be true.

"I'm not kidding, these two things are decided here, but you can't count your big head, it's better to count you as two."

Miss Xu was stunned for a moment, she knew how deep the water was, and she really couldn't bear it. It seems that Daddy has to come forward. But don't worry, it's still early, she believes that Yuan Rui is not talking nonsense.

Seeing that it was only a month, the township test was about to start, and Yuan Rui didn't look anxious at all.

The second son still admires this, you see those scholars, they came to Yangzhou in advance, not to mention, and now I heard that they are constantly looking for questions everywhere.

Yuan Rui really didn't have much preparation, the township test is not like the government test, the hospital test, the subset of history, plus the policy theory, simply put, it is the writing of official documents, the discussion of opinions and the processing of official documents. Not to mention the difficulty, the amount of questions is also very large, and you can't finish it at all if you are slow.

The township test is a very critical exam in Daxia, and it takes three consecutive exams, each of which is three days, which is nine days.

It is said that it is nine days, in fact, the real time for the exam is only five or six days, and you can rest for a day after the exam, and the last day is because you can't come out early, of course, it also gives some candidates more time, after all, the last test is a strategy.

There have been several students from Shuyang Mansion who have come to visit Yuan Rui, and this time I heard that there are more than 300 students from Shuyang Mansion alone, and it is estimated that there will be no less than 2,000 people in the entire Yangzhou Township Examination.

In the next few days, as the exam time approached, many scholars familiar with Shuyang came to Yangzhou, and the greeting posts were also delivered. Yuan Rui took a special look, and there was really Liu Xianggong Liu Ziyu, who passed the hospital examination two years ago, and this time he also came to participate in the township test.

Yuan Rui deliberately smoked for a day, and said hello to Xiaohe again, he was going to invite a few local classmates from Tonghai to catch up with him in a store near the academy, and he really wanted to thank a few ministers for their care last time.

Before it was time, Yuan Rui stood at the door of the smoothie shop early, waiting for everyone to come.

In fact, it didn't take long for me to see six scholars walking towards me from a distance. Yuan Rui smiled, waved his hand at a few people, and said hello to a few people.

A few people humbly conceded, entered the room, sat down according to the guest and host, and then began to chat.

"Brother Ziyu, and fellow senior brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm very sorry, I've been thinking about visiting the house, I'm entangled in mundane affairs, I'm sorry Brother Ziyu." Yuan Rui got up and gave a sincere salute.

Everyone also hurriedly got up, returned the salute, and said that Brother Yuan was too polite.

Yuan Rui humbly asked a few people to sit down, and ordered to bring up the smoothie and some vegetables and fruits to cool off, everyone also smiled when they saw the smoothie, they knew that they were going to gather here, and everyone also understood, looking at the name of the store, they knew that this was Yuan Rui's bag.

chatting a few words, recounting the past of the college, I couldn't help but talk about this township test.

"Brothers, have you heard of it, it is said that the chief examiner of this township examination has been decided,"

Wu Xianggong, who came to visit him last time, suddenly lowered his voice at this time.

"The main exam here in Yangzhou is Wang Weimin, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the secondary examination is Du Shaogang, a waiter of the Hanlin Academy, and he also said that this year's test questions are set by the saint himself."

The two students glanced at each other, and their faces suddenly changed. Other candidates may not have this awareness, and of course Yuan Rui doesn't have it, he doesn't pay attention to these.

"Is this message accurate?"

"Where did it come from?"

"Nine times out of ten, it is said that the main and secondary examinations in Yangzhou are also determined by the saint," Wu Xianggong stretched out his hand and pointed to it.

The few people who didn't know it were all puzzled, and hurriedly looked at the three of them, wanting to understand the reason.

"I won't hide it from you, these two people are strictly speaking conservative officials, and they have great prejudices about the new policies that will be implemented here in Yangzhou, and this township test may be much harsher than in the past."
