Three days later, the government office released the list.

Just like the previous government exams, before dawn, the front of the government office was crowded with people, and when the results were released, the waiting children and their families rushed forward, as if they were afraid that they would not see the results if they fell behind.

With the previous experience of waiting to see the list, Chen Nianguan and others also knew to come early, and called the most clever Liu Feng to go to the front early, saving them the effort of squeezing past.

Then, not long after the announcement of the results, Chen Nianguan and others who were waiting for the results behind the turbulent discussion in the government office heard Liu Feng's screams.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

"Who has passed?" As an elder, the second aunt naturally wanted to see the result of the baby's eldest son's exam. Hearing her youngest son yelling so nonsensically, she just wanted to know the first time that the eldest son failed the exam.She was very annoyed.

I knew had said it and passed it. There are so many people in the family who have passed the exam. Who has passed it?Is it all over?

This crazy boy is not reliable at all.

"Second aunt, don't worry, seeing Xiaofeng so excited, I'm afraid the second cousin has passed." Chen Nianguan comforted.

Not long after, Liu Feng squeezed out from the crowd with difficulty.

Looking at the other people who can squeeze out from under the case, they are all in disheveled clothes and messy buns, but Liu Feng, oh, Liu Feng has no hair, no wonder his face is still so handsome, he hugged his elder brother with a smile, as ifThe monkey yelled like climbing a tree: "Brother, you have passed, you are a scholar!"

The second aunt stretched out her hand and slapped Liu Feng, who was out of shape, laughing and crying.

It's not easy!

Their Liu family has finally figured out a scholar.

When his father died, Liu Qing stopped her studies. She still thought that in this life, her son might never be able to touch books and become a scholar again. Who knows...

Seeing the second aunt crying, Chen Nianwan wanted to comfort her, but she hugged her: "Wanwan, our Ah Qing passed, he is a scholar!"

It's all thanks to having this niece, otherwise, how could the family earn so much money and have the opportunity to send their son to Wushan Academy!

"Yes, the second cousin is a scholar, and the second aunt, you are the lady of the scholar." Chen Nianwan smiled and patted the second aunt on the shoulder.

People under the list got to know the result one after another, some laughed loudly, and some cried loudly like Aunt Lu, and there was a lot of noise for a while.

Liu Qing, who was the person involved, became much calmer, put her brother down with a smile, and asked, "Didn't I tell you to see the names of Brother Zhang and I?"

The results of the year-old examination are only a list of children who have passed the examination and achieved the fame of scholar, not a ranking.

In terms of winning, it is necessary to wait for the three-day scientific examination to announce the list according to the results.

"Oh, Second Brother Zhang, he passed too." Liu Feng finally calmed down a little, and looked at Zhang Erlang with a smile, "Second Brother Zhang, congratulations."

Zhang Erlang has always been very calm, as if he had expected this outcome, he only smiled at Liu Feng, but when Liu Feng yelled at Chen Nianguan, "Cousin, you are going to be a scholar."The arc went up, and then glanced at Chen Nianguan.

"Well, that's right." Chen Nianguan was very shy, and responded with a generous smile, then looked at Zhang Erlang, and the two looked at each other carefully.

The second aunt, who had controlled her emotions and kept wiping away her tears, looked at the sweetness of the two couples and glanced at her eldest son, feeling quite uncomfortable.

At this time, Aunt Chen also wiped her tears and walked towards them.

"Sister-in-law, has Shen Fan passed?"

Hearing this, Aunt Chen burst into tears.

It turned out that Shen Fan hadn't passed, but Chen Nianjian had passed again.

"It's okay, cousin Shen Fan is still young, you can come back next year." Chen Nianguan comforted.

Everyone also opened their mouths, and Aunt Chen managed to stop her tears. Shen Fan, who was following behind his mother, had red eye circles.

When the list is released today, some are happy and some are sad.

Originally, the second aunt wanted to turn around and celebrate, but Liu Qing and Zhang Erlang both had to take the scientific examination three days later, and wanted to gain qualifications for the provincial examination, so they moved to after the scientific examination.

The two newly promoted scholars seized the short three days before the exam and quickly devoted themselves to a new round of study.

Everyone knows what's interesting, so don't bother them.

The same goes for Chen Nianguan. The second aunt's family looked at Zhang Erlang, so they went back to Five Willow Lane to concentrate on her ice shop and sugar shop business.

Now that the beginning of summer has passed, the price of ice cubes in the ice cellar has increased to 22 yuan, but there is still an endless stream of customers who come to get ice.

Without him, Gein Ruyi Bingpu raised the price of ice to three taels at this time.

Nowadays, more and more people know about Five Willow Lane's cold ice shop. Compared with the two, the price has increased. The ice cubes at the cold ice shop are still a tael cheaper than those at the Italian ice shop.

One piece of ice is one tael, and one hundred pieces of ice is worth one hundred taels of silver.

Although it is extremely hot, those who can afford ice will arrive early to make a budget for the cost of ice. If the family is big and the business is big, often after one summer, the cost of buying ice can easily be thousands of taels of silver.

But now at the Ruyi Ice Shop, you can only buy 500 pieces of ice for 1,500 taels, but at the Cool Ice Shop, you can buy 750 pieces of ice for 1,500 taels, but you can buy two hundred more.Fifty pieces of ice.

Two hundred and fifty pieces of ice is not a small amount.

No one's money is just floating in the water. The same money can buy so many pieces of ice. Naturally, many rich and aristocratic families have turned to ice shops to buy ice.

At this time, the manager of the Ruyi Ice Shop hadn't noticed that there was an additional ice cooler shop in Prefecture City, and the ice storage capacity was astonishing.

Seeing that there were fewer customers buying ice after the price increase, thought it was just a price increase, and the boy who used the ice flinched for a while.

He is not afraid at all.

Hmph, think the price of ice is expensive now, and when it is really hot, don't have to go back to Ruyi Ice Shop to buy ice?

In Five Willow Lane.

Chen Nianguan, who is separated from the cold ice shop by a wall, is sitting in front of the dressing table, counting the income from selling ice in the ice cellar these days.

Now, the happiest thing for her every day is to find time to count the silver bills after closing the business.

Tsk tsk, the stewards who come to the ice shop to sell ice are all generous sellers. They usually buy fifty yuan or one hundred yuan of ice, so the money Liu Yang collects is also a hundred taels of silver bills.what!

Xuan Xuan said, counting copper coins one by one is enjoyable, but counting copper coins, how can there be hundreds of taels of silver notes one by one!

Her net worth has increased exponentially and rapidly these days, just like the one with the best performance in the stock market!

I don't know if I don't count, but I'm startled when I count it. In less than a month since it opened, the profit of this ice shop has already exceeded 6,000 taels.

No, after a few days after the price increase, the income was paid, and the bank notes received every day were around five, and at most, there were eight.Not fragrant anymore!

well!

Chen Nianwan laughed and sighed again, staring at Si Ya who was standing aside.

Chen Nianguan didn't mind, he put away all the hundred taels of banknotes in his hand and stored them in a wooden box, "Si Ya, come to the bank with me tomorrow."

Such a huge sum of money must be saved well!

"Boss, why are you running to the bank?" Si Ya didn't understand.

"Haven't you seen so many banknotes in my hand, my boss? I have to deposit them in a bank!" Otherwise, how can I be safe!

Si Ya's eyes widened.

"Save it all in the bank?"

"Is there a problem?" Chen Nianguan wondered.

"People in our bodyguard company don't like to deposit money in the bank." Si Ya said, after thinking about it, she added, "At least, we can't put all of it in the bank."

"why?"

"What if the bank goes bankrupt? Isn't all the money in the bank gone?"

Chen Nianguan was stunned.

Will the bank go bankrupt?She hadn't thought about it.

"Besides, if you want to go to a place without a bank, how can you spend your money? The men in our bodyguard firm only save some, and hide the rest, and then dig out some to use when they go far."Si Ya said based on the limited experience she had learned, "Also, the silver bills should be replaced with silver ingots. Gold ingots are the best."

"And why?"

"It's easy to bury it!" Si Ya scratched her head, "If you bury the banknotes in the ground if you accidentally bury the ink, you won't be able to use them, and they won't be worth much! Uncle Xu from the escort company earned five hundred taels a trip.Silver, go back to the bodyguard company to drink and show off with the big master and the second master in our bodyguard company. One accident, the wine glass is poured, and the wine is soaked in the bank note, and it is all black. If you take it to the bank, they won’t recognize it. It’s five hundred taelsFly."

"Heh!" Si Ya successfully aroused Chen Nianguan's interest, she beckoned, asked Si Ya to come over, and explained to her carefully how people in the escort agency hide gold and silver, let her learn how to do it.

The boss thinks highly of her, so Si Ya is naturally happy.

These days with Chen Dong's side, nothing to do, just eating and drinking, feel embarrassed, it is rare to be useful, so know everything can say, and Chen Nianguan listens with gusto.

On the second day, Chen Nianguan, Xiao You and Si Ya ????? took the silver notes to the bank to exchange them, and exchanged them for a batch of gold ingots and gold leaves.

Well, if you want to start to become a million-dollar family, of course you have to act like a big family, and you must have gold in hand.

As Si Ya said, a bank note is nothing more than a piece of paper, only gold and silver can preserve its value and be easy to preserve.

It was the first time for Chen Nianguan to touch gold. These days, the money she earned from the ice cellar, minus the 20% that would be given to Jiang Yu, she exchanged the remaining 5,000 taels of silver for boxes of gold ingots.Gold leaf and silver ingots.

Chen Nianguan felt that it was really cool to exchange the frivolous silver bills for boxes of gold and silver.

Holding a pile of silver ingots in his arms, touching the dripping gold ingots in his hand, and holding a gold leaf in his mouth, Chen Nianguan, who was sitting on the bed, was almost blinded by the golden and silver light in his eyes.

Intoxicated by the golden light and silver light, after giggling for a while, she began to worry about a problem.

So much gold and silver, where should hide it?

Chen Nianwan looked at Si Ya.

Si Ya raised her head and stared at Liangshang: "Master, don't ask me, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place."

Ah!unfamiliar.

Chen Nianguan rolled her eyes and knew that she shouldn't have heard her talk about the Escort last night.

Now the things in front of me can preserve their value, but storage has become a big problem.

It's impossible to put it in your own room. You all know that you are the owner of the ice shop and sugar water shop. If there are thieves and robbers who come in, you must be the first to touch your own room, and then put gold and silver in your own room.be silly.

But where can hide it?

Chen Nianguan struggled for a few days to bring back the real gold and silver, and finally solved the problem. Then she went to the rice noodle shop and asked Liu Chi how they handled the silver in the bank.

Only now did know that the money they had deposited in the Prefecture City bank had been taken out by uncle and fourth uncle at the bank in the county seat closest to Liujia Village, and moved back to Liujia Village.

"Moving back to Liujia Village?"

"Ah! There are so many silver ingots, I have to dig a place to hide them!"

The corners of Chen Nianguan's mouth twitched.

It turned out that she thought it would be safest to deposit the silver in the bank, but she never thought that they would exchange one or two of them for silver ingots and move them home.

How much do you distrust the bank?

So it's not too late for her to change her mind now?

After hiding the gold and silver, Chen Nianguan was relaxed and full of joy.

Today, there is no need to go treasure hunting, she is the treasure hunter herself.

It turns out that the person holding a batch of gold and silver in his hand is so confident.

Her heart stopped flustered, her hands stopped shaking, and she walked calmly, as if nothing happened in the world, and it was hard to beat her.

Ah, sure enough, it feels really good to be a rich person.

The treasure hunter, Chen Nianguan, walked back to the Tangshui shop with a cheerful smile, and felt very cordial when he saw the ladies and ladies in the shop.

These are big households who are continuing to generate income and create gold and silver for themselves, so cute!

"Master Chen!"

Chen Nianguan woke up from his intoxication when a lady called out: "Mrs. Cao!"

Speaking of Mrs. Cao, have to talk about her origin.

Mrs. Cao, the current magistrate of Chuzhou Prefecture, is the husband of Mrs. Cao. Therefore, this is the number one female family member of the Prefecture City parent officer, and deserves special attention.

However, after getting in touch with Mrs. Cao, Chen Nianguan was a little afraid of Mrs. Cao, because Mrs. Cao came to help the Tangshui shop, and every time she asked her to come over and say a few words, and always asked her to come.In the government office, he worked as a cook for the Cao family.

Once or twice, she would feel very happy and proud of Mrs. Cao's recognition of her cooking skills, but when Mrs. Cao insisted on disregarding her wishes and trying to get her into the government office as a private cook, she would be a little annoyed.

Please, she now has an ice shop on the left and a sugar shop on the right. She makes a lot of money, so why do she want to be a private cook for others?

Is it because it's not good to do your own business?Or is it because he is so dizzy that he can't think about it, so he wronged himself to go to the government office to be a small cook?

But, after all, she is the magistrate's wife, the biggest official in Chuzhou Prefecture, she has to give her some face, so if she curtsies, it will be another golden thigh for her.

Chen Nianguan could only say good things, I'm sorry and apologized, and I was perfunctory again and again, but today, it happened again.

"Master Chen, I see that you are not the only cook in your sugar water shop, right? Then who are the cooks who make sugar water for us?"

Mrs. Cao looked at the decorations in the store, and then glanced at the diners who were enjoying themselves, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, "Our government will hold a banquet in two days for the adults from Capital City.Take the wind, Master Chen, if you really don't have time, you can borrow a cook to make desserts for me!"

"Thanks to the prefect's madam, you can see it, but you have seen it too, we sell sugar water here! It's not suitable for the government's banquet, right?"

How is it possible to borrow it?Once borrowed, I am afraid that there will be no return.

Besides, no matter whether it is going to the government office or the banquet of other powerful families, it must be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. When the most incidents happen, they are just little cooks. If they are not careful, they will get involved in something, and the trouble will be big.

What's more, Mrs. Cao has expressed her desire to be her own private chef from the very beginning. After inviting someone over, she really just made desserts, and she has no other plans?She doesn't believe it.

"Why isn't it suitable? I think Guiling Jelly and Shuangpi Nai are very suitable." Mrs. Cao raised her head and said, "And the ice cream sweet bowl, both are good."

"Madam Cao, but then..."

"Master Chen, have you forgotten who is talking to you? I asked the cooks from your sugar shop to help the government, but I appreciate you. Don't just look at it for opening a small sugar shop.Don’t see anyone, forget your own identity?”

After several unsuccessful invitations, Mrs. Cao felt resentful.

In Chuzhou Prefecture, apart from a few aristocratic families, she can be regarded as the most honorable madam. Her husband is the magistrate of Chuzhou Prefecture, the one with the greatest power. Who is not respectful when seeing her?

But this Master Chen just put her in the face, no matter how sideways he tried, he just wouldn't get in.

If she persuaded her not to do it with good words, she would not pass the toast, but directly poured a fine wine.

"How dare you? Of course I know that Mrs. Cao thinks highly of us when she invites us to help with the government's banquet. However, this pair of leather milk can barely be made on the spot, and the ice cheese sweet bowl must be prepared in advance to freezeIf the government office has edible ice and the utensils we use to make ice cream, then it is not impossible to make it for Mrs. Cao, as for Guiling jelly, there is no way to make it on the same day."

Chen Nianguan smiled and explained, "So, the sweet water that Madam Cao likes, the bowls and cooking utensils that need to be prepared have to be ordered temporarily, and I am afraid that it will not be in time for Madam Cao's banquet."

"That's simple, just take a copy of the cooking utensils from your Tangshui shop to the government office?" Mrs. Cao ordered arrogantly.

"Then how do we do business in Tangshui Shop?" Chen Nianguan was speechless.

"The business of your sugar shop is not as important as the banquet in the government office of Chuzhou?" Mrs. Cao became impatient, and waved her hand, "Isn't it enough to stop for two or three days?"

Chen Nianguan frowned, and had to suppress his anger, "Mrs. Cao, my tangshui shop has only opened for a short time, and it is closed every now and then. It is not good for the wives and ladies who come to help the shop. Why don't you tell me, Mrs. Cao?"Say, how many desserts do you want for the banquet, and my shop will make them directly at the Tangshui shop, and then send them to the government office immediately?"

"It's so troublesome to send it back and forth." Mrs. Cao snorted coldly, "Since Master Chen wants to give it away, why don't we give the recipes for making these desserts to the chef of the government office, then we can make it ourselves, so there is no needPlease trouble Master Chen's cook!"

Just to put it bluntly, Mrs. Cao didn't follow her good intentions. The original purpose was to want the prescription she had in hand.

"Madam Cao, the secret method of making sugar water in our store is the root of our people's livelihood, how can we just casually..."

"You also know that you are an ordinary person. Isn't our government office worried about the affairs of ordinary people like you?" Mrs. Cao didn't want to listen to Chen Nianguan's excuses.Shouldn't we, the parents, be right?"

Chen Nianguan had never seen such a brazen person before, he was stunned in anger and indignation.

Mrs. Cao glanced at Chen Nianguan, and sneered, "It's okay if you don't want to take out all the prescriptions. My lady is generous and doesn't argue with you. Then, just take the prescription of Guiling Jelly, and it will be fine."

It turned out that it was made from Guiling jelly.

"Don't say that Mrs. Ben is bullying you, an ordinary person. I'll buy that prescription from you, ten taels." Madam Cao said, she leaned up to Chen Nianguan and lowered her voice, "Tell me the prescription obediently.After that day, you are at the sugar shop in Prefecture City, I will cover you up, and no one will make trouble for you!"

Chen Nianwan smiled, "Then, if I sell the prescription of tortoise jelly to Mrs. Cao, can Mrs. Cao also cover our ice shop?"

"Ice shop?" Mrs. Cao was startled.

She came to the Tangshui shop a few times, and always put on airs as the magistrate's wife, just talking to Chen Nianguan now made everyone in the private room retreat.

Chen Nianguan had no choice but to ask the ladies and girls in the store to temporarily move to the Langjun District every time he saw Mrs. Cao's carriage. In order to express his apology, he would give each of them an extra snack.

The wives and girls who came to visit the Tangshui shop naturally knew a little about Mrs. Cao, and some even knew her well. They knew Mrs. Cao's temperament, so they cooperated very well.

In the end it is the wife of the magistrate, you have to sell some face, not to mention the extra drink or food given by Master Chen, it doesn't matter.

Chen Nianwan knew that the government office had its own ice cellar, so he would not take the initiative to tell Madam Cao about the business of his ice shop, and other people rarely had the opportunity to mention this matter to Madam Cao, so Madam Cao did not know about it.Mr. Chen's family runs an ice shop.

Today, Chen Nianguan took the initiative to expose it.

"That's right, the cold ice shop is????? I share the property with Mr. Jiang from the Jiangfu." Chen Nianguan said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it is thanks to Mr. Jiang that I can spread my sugar water."If not for this, how can a mere commoner in my area start a business of sugar water? How can he bear the expense of such a large amount of ice in the sugar water shop?"

It's not that he doesn't want to rely on the big tree of the prefect of Chuzhou, but if he wants to rely on it, he has to find a tree with luxuriant branches and leaves that is free from insects.

This prefect's wife is greedy, arrogant and domineering, stupid and stupid, she dares to bully others with her status as prefect's wife, how could she imagine that she could get her protection by sacrificing a little profit?

What's more, the magistrate may not be able to work in Chuzhou government all the time.

I heard that this year is the third year of prefect Cao's tenure. Officials in this dynasty are appointed every three years. Whether it is time to report on their duties, decide whether to be promoted or demoted, or to stay in office, if she wants to take the initiative to please her, it depends on the prefect Cao.Do you have this ability.

Mrs. Cao wanted to sneer when she heard that Chen Nianguan also owned an ice shop.

In Prefecture City, when it comes to ice, whose ice can compare to Fuya?

It can be heard that the ice shop is a collaboration between Master Chen and Mr. Jiang from the Jiangfu. Mrs. Cao was shocked.

In Chuzhou Mansion, there are not many people who can make the magistrate afraid. Xuanping Hou Zu's family is one family, and Jiang Mansion is also a family.

Who doesn't know that the virtuous concubine in the harem, surnamed Jiang, is deeply favored by the Holy One?Even the third prince born under her knees is in the emperor's heart.

As the concubine Xian's natal family, no one would dare to provoke people from the Jiang family casually.

This Master Chen can actually cooperate with Mr. Jiang to make a living?real or fake?

Mrs. Cao was suspicious, and then remembered that that day in the flower hall of the Jiangfu, Mrs. Jiang asked Mr. Jiang to make a special trip to ask for the tortoise jelly from Master Chen, but Mr. Jiang didn't want it, and Mrs. Jiang was not angry. Then, thenI recommended this sugar shop to them.

This, this, this...

Madam Cao panicked for a moment.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Jiang is very polite to Master Chen, and Mr. Jiang will actually cooperate with Master Chen in business. I am afraid that he is not bad to Miss Chen.

Could it be that Miss Chen has a lot of background?

"You said it, but it's true?"

"Of course it's true. If I'm a mere ordinary person, how can I start the business of ice cellar and sugar water store with my single wife?" Chen Nianguan still smiled, "You know, this ice is not just casual.You can hoard it, this candy is not a cheap item worth a few pennies, do you think so, Madam Cao?"

Mrs. Cao swallowed her saliva.

"There is also the prescription of tortoise jelly. It's not that I don't sell it to my wife. In fact, the nobleman who taught me how to make tortoise jelly has gone to the capital now, but before leaving, he told me that this prescription,Without her consent, it must not be sold, otherwise, it will cause big trouble." Chen Nianguan said nonsense.

She didn't care about it when she was talking, anyway, the bigger the flag, the better, and it would be best to make Mrs. Cao retreat in the face of difficulties.

Anyway, no one knows how they know how to make tortoise jelly. Since tortoise jelly is a rare item in the palace, why is it so strange that I have a noble master?Anyway, no one knows whether it is true or not.

"It's fine if I cause trouble myself, but if I bring big trouble to Mrs. Cao, it may cause harm to the magistrate, then it's not so good." Chen Nianguan said, "You think so, Mrs. Cao?"

Mrs. Cao's forehead was covered with thin cold sweat.

That's right, that's right, heard that not everyone knows how to make this Guiling jelly, so it's usually reserved for the palace, and the cook who can make Guiling jelly is said to be the most respectable imperial chef in the palace.

So, this Master Chen knows how to make tortoise jelly, was it taught by the royal chef?

If, if this is the case, in case, this matter gets to the palace...

Thinking about it, Mrs. Cao suddenly became frightened among the nobles who like to eat turtle jelly, and then glanced at Chen Nianguan again: "That's all. Since you said that, Mrs. Cao is not good at forcing others."

"Madam is really kind. In order to thank Madam, on the day of Madam's banquet, I will send twenty bowls of tortoise jelly to Madam. Madam looks at it, is that good?"

I don't want to enjoy the shade under this big tree, but don't have to. Cut it down.

It is also possible to water and get along with each other.

"Hmph, you're considered filial."

Mrs. Cao left the Tangshui shop in dismay, but she was an official wife after all, so she was not so easy to fool, as soon as she got into the carriage, she called the steward: "Go, check for me, who is behind this Master Chen?"

"Also, what's the matter with the ice shop? Why haven't I heard that Jiang's mansion also opened an ice shop?"

The steward does as he is told.

After all, he is a member of the government office, and it is much faster to inquire about news than ordinary people.

Mrs. Cao got all the information about Chen Nianguan that night.

"Ma'am, Chen Si is from Funing County, and the two Chen family noodle shops in Prefecture City are also owned by her family!"

"Ma'am, Chen Si's father is said to be the savior of Lord Fan's eldest son!"

"Ma'am, it is rumored that one of the behind-the-scenes owners of the rice noodle shop is Peng's family!"

"Ma'am, Chen Si's shop was sold to Master Chen by the Jiangfu, and the person who went to the government office to apply for the deed of the house was a steward of the Jiangfu."

"Ma'am, Chen Si did open an ice shop called Bing Bing Shop, and the ice cellar was built by the steward of the Jiang Mansion."

"Ma'am, many families in Prefecture City sell ice at ice coolers. It is said that Chen Si's ice costs two taels of silver."

"lady……"

"Ma'am, is Chen Si a disciple of the imperial chef in the palace? We have to send someone to Capital City? Or should we send a letter to the Cao family in Capital City to help investigate?"

Mrs. Cao waved her hand feebly, signaling the steward to leave it alone.

Miss Chen Si is really capable!

Not only did she cling to Jiang's family, but she also got involved with Fan's and Peng's families.

Not to mention the Jiang family, even Mr. Fan and Peng Shangshu are both officials in the capital. If you just pick one out, her husband is not enough to look at.

She actually wanted to take advantage of Chen Si's hands.

Let Chen Si speak out about this matter. If her husband is transferred back to the capital at that time, wouldn't she herself have made an enemy of her husband in the court in advance?

Mrs. Cao broke out in a cold sweat.

It's no wonder that Chen Si is so confident when facing him, so he has nothing to fear!

Mrs. Cao guessed wrong.

It’s not that Chen Nianguan is confident, she just knows that she has nothing to rely on, so she wants to use the branch to cultivate golden thighs everywhere, wishing to get acquainted with the bigwigs behind the various branches, and at the beginning of the store, she racked her brains to giveFind yourself a big tree.

Well, have to say that the big tree found in Jiangfu is really useful.

Ever since she revealed that she was doing business with the eldest son of the Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Cao didn't do anything special when she came to the sugar shop again.

There is no need to clear the place for her, but like others, choose a private seat with a screen to sit down.

When talking to her again, he was polite and not as aggressive as before.

Chen Nianguan felt, ah, the world is refreshing again.

She didn't know that Mrs. Cao investigated herself and was taken aback by her unfounded background.

No wonder Mrs. Cao was deceived. There is solid evidence that the steward of the Jiang family has close contacts with Chen Si. How could Mrs. Cao know that most of the big men in Beijing are Chen Nianguan who is playing tricks on others?

If you want to blame it, you can blame Chen Nianguan for being too good at pulling big banners and good eloquence, and more importantly, for being false in the false, and true in the false.

You want to say that Chen Nianguan has nothing to do with Lord Fan in the court, but her father did lose his life to save Lord Fan's son, and her future husband is still a disciple of Lord Fan's father,

You want to say that Chen Nianwan has nothing to do with Peng Shangshu of the court, but Peng’s tea house in Funing County is next to the rice noodle shop. It is said that someone actually saw Peng Dong’s family discussing cooperation with Chen Nianguan.

You want to say that Chen Nianguan has nothing to do with the Jiang family in Prefecture City, but the shop was sold to her by the Jiang manor, and the ice cellar was built with the help of the Jiang manor's steward. Even Mrs. Jiang helped her sugar shop, and she herself admitted that,Mr. Jiang has partnered with her,

This is false and real, true and false, who is not the person involved, who would be so clear?

This is the art of speaking!

On this day, Chen Nianguan delivered the promised twenty bowls of tortoise jelly to Mrs. Cao. Mrs. Cao accepted it with a smile, then turned around and asked her servant to pay Chen Nianguan twenty taels of silver.

"Mrs. Cao, I agreed earlier that this is a gift from the shop for my wife."

"No, no, Miss Chen Si, I appreciate your kindness." Mrs. Cao waved her hand, "It's not easy for you as an ordinary person to earn a living. As parents and officials, of course we should be considerate. This money is yours from Nianyun Tangshui Shop.Got it, you can accept it with peace of mind!"

Chen Nianwan nodded and smiled: "Then I would like to thank Madam. Our prefect is really lucky to have such a considerate wife as Madam."

Mrs. Cao got the compliment, felt disappointed, and left with a smile.

Chen Nianguan followed the two waiters to help deliver the tortoise jelly to Mrs. Cao's carriage, and waved goodbye with a smile on his face: "Madam Zhifu, go slowly."

When he was about to go back into the store, he saw people on the left and right sides stretching their necks and looking this way, he smiled slightly, without saying anything, Shi Shiran pushed the door open and entered.

"Tsk tsk!"

The people who didn't dare to speak up gathered together, with envy and hatred in their eyes, they glanced at the huge "Nianyun Tangshui Shop" plaque.

Who was that just now?

I heard that he is the Master Chen of this Tangshui shop.

Who was sent into the carriage by Master Chen just now?

Didn't you hear Master Chen yelling?That is the wife of our parents, the prefect's wife.

Tsk tsk, heard that not only the magistrate's wife, but also the wives and girls from well-known families in the city who came to help Master Chen's business.

Anyone who has seen the world recognizes them, not only from the Lin family, but also from the Shi family, and even the incredible wife of the Jiang family, who is also a guest of this sugar shop.

No wonder the shop was remodeled so that it doesn't look like an ordinary business, and those who dare to cheer are all extraordinary people?

Fortunately, they said at the beginning that the owner of this sugar shop is not a material for business. It turns out that the idea has been well established, and there is no shortage of customers at all!

Knowing the wives of so many families, this Master Chen has a lot of background!

Seeing her talking and laughing so happily with the prefect's wife, you can tell that this Master Chen is at least acquainted with our prefect's family.

Tut tut!

The nearby merchants were all jealous of this Tangshui shop, and left with envy and hatred!

Mrs. Cao didn't realize at all that she had unintentionally become a big tree that Chen Nianguan didn't need. When she returned to the mansion, she happened to see her husband, the magistrate Cao, changed his official uniform and went out to meet guests with his entourage.

These days, the biggest event in the government office is the annual exam for this class of scholars.

Although the chief examiner is Xuezheng who was newly appointed this year, as the magistrate of Chuzhou, he is duty-bound to become one of the deputy examiners. He will have to invigilate the examination tomorrow.

The scientific examination is related to whether the scholars who have obtained fame can formally enter the first threshold of official career, and the final ranking is not only related to the level of talent of the scholars, but also closely related to the check and balance of power in the court.

Sitting in the position of magistrate and serving as an official for many years, Cao Fucai would not fail to understand this truth.

Therefore, although he didn't dare to do anything openly, he secretly cultivated his own power in the government examination where he was the chief examiner last time.

It's just a scientific examination, with Song Xuezheng around, it's not easy to make a move, so I hope that the scholar I like will fight a bit, so that they don't all fall into the sand by then.
