Jiang Mansion was full of joy.

Mr. Jiang is still the case in high school, and Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are overjoyed.

There was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him from the house.

Originally, because of the favor of the virtuous concubine in the palace, the Jiang family was already an unshakable dignitary in Chuzhou Prefecture. Now that Jiang’s eldest son is at the top of the high school rankings, it naturally attracts everyone’s attention. The prestigious families in Prefecture City are looking for opportunities to visit.

It is an honor for the stewards to help the master welcome and send off.

Cui Siye came to the door with his steward and a small gift.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang is not only a prodigy in business, but he has also learned from others. I really didn't expect it." The ice sale fell to the wind, and Fourth Master Cui was still stuck in his throat. At this time, look at Jiang Yu, who is full of spring., Talking with guns and sticks, eyes with jealousy.

Nowadays, who in Prefecture City doesn't know that the cold ice shop is also mixed with Jiangfu?

Even, because the ice price of two pieces of ice at the cold ice shop is compared with the price of three pieces of ice at the Ruyi ice shop, people are greatly admiring the benevolence and righteousness of the Jiang family, and have a good impression of them.

Jiang Yu had already learned about Fourth Master Cui's massive purchase of ice from the cold ice shop from Wang Guanshi's mouth, but the matter was resolved satisfactorily, the cold ice shop made enough money, and the Jiang family earned enough word of mouth, everyone was happy.

Therefore, Jiang Yu didn't care about Fourth Master Cui's cynicism, and dealt with it lightly, so Master Jiang led Fourth Master Cui to the other end to greet him.

Mr. Jiang knew about Jiang Yu's sale of the store that was originally a wine shop, but he didn't know that his son had also participated in the cold ice shop.heard.

After all, there was a lot of noise in the city, and Mr. Jiang, as an official of the Prefecture City's official department, had to socialize and socialize. At this time, not only did his colleagues feel a little better, but also many families who went to the cold ice shop to buy ice praised their sons.Also, the reputation of the Jiang family has been established in the Prefecture City, Mr. Jiang has a bright face, and he is very satisfied with his son.

Thus, only the world where Fourth Master Cui was injured was achieved.

After sending off Fourth Master Cui, Master Jiang asked his son about the cold ice shop, and learned that the ice shop belonged to Mr. Chen, the owner of the rice noodle shop., said that he became one of the owners of the cold ice shop without spending a penny, and was quite complacent about the fact that Cui's family could not afford to buy ice, but lost a large amount of money, Master Jiang couldn't help shaking his head again and again.

"Father, Miss Chen Si is so capable, not only saved the day from danger, but also fully used this matter for our Jiang family!"

Used by the Jiang family?

The ice price turmoil, it is obvious that the Jiang family is completely used by Miss Chen. Just a few carriages with the family emblem of Jiang's family let everyone in Prefecture City know that Jiang's family and Miss Chen are deeply involved.

Outsiders thought Jiang Mansion had become her reliance, and with Jiang Mansion's power, who else in Chuzhou Mansion would dare to touch her?

This silly son thought that he won the shares of Liangbingpu without spending a diploma. He was so short-sighted that he only saw the income of a thousand taels of silver per month, but he didn't know that his family's power had been taken advantage of.

No way, this son still lacks experience.

Master Jiang shook his head, then raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Yu.

"I heard Fourth Master Cui say that Master Chen is young, beautiful, and quite capable. You can lower your figure and cooperate with him. What do you think?"

Jiang Yu also glanced at his father, "Miss Chen Si is already engaged."

"Oh, what a pity." Mr. Jiang twirled his goatee, "If you have no choice, you can accept her as a concubine. Only her abilities can be truly used by the Jiang family."

Jiang Yu remained silent, and felt a slight sourness in his tongue.

Besides, Fourth Master Cui left Jiangfu, thinking about it, he was really unwilling, so he asked the carriage to drive to Five Willow Lane, and saw the people from the Tangshui shop setting off firecrackers and throwing copper coins.

Stepping on the thick firecracker confetti, Fourth Master Cui pulled a person and asked, "What's going on?"

"My lord, the Master Chen of Nianyun Tangshui Shop, her future husband-in-law has passed the examination of scholar, and she is giving happy money to our neighbors."

"Master Chen's future husband?"

Cui Siye thought it was weird. Later, when he remembered to investigate Master Chen, he seemed to mention this, but it was not something worth noting, and the name was unknown. The focus was on her relationship with the four surnames., ignored.

Hey, by the way, this Master Chen already had a husband-in-law, which made him think that he might be having an affair with the eldest son of the Jiang family, but it turned out not to be!

It's just that he didn't have a leg, and he didn't think about bringing this Master Chen into the Jiangfu, so why did the Jiangfu still value her so much?

Fourth Master Cui twirled his fan, could it be that she has other outstanding qualities.

"Hey??????"

Cui Siye was suspicious, and the steward next to him saw Chen Nianguan in women's clothing, and finally recognized him.

"is her?"

"Who?" Fourth Master Cui wondered.

"Master Chen, so she is the one who came to see the third master..." The steward blurted out in surprise, and then realized that he had slipped his mouth, so he quickly covered it up, but it was already too late.

"Master Chen, have you visited the third master?"

Pressed by Fourth Master Cui, the steward had no choice but to tell the truth about Chen Nianguan bringing a letter of recommendation from the Peng family to see Third Master Cui.

Fourth Master Cui's face turned from white to red, and then to blue.

"This is what you ordered. The third master is not here. All the people who came to see him have been sent away. The servants are just obeying orders, sir?" The steward gulped down a lot of saliva.

Fourth Master Cui glared at the steward, raised his leg, kicked the steward viciously a few times, and angrily walked towards Nianyun Tangshui Shop.

"Hey, it's Fourth Master Cui. Are you here to help our cold ice shop or the sugar water shop today?" Chen Nianguan asked with a smile.

"Master Chen, I just found out today that you and my third brother are old acquaintances?" Fourth Master Cui also smiled and made friends with Chen Nianguan.

"Who?"

"My third brother, known as Mr. Cui?"

"do not know."

"Huh?" Fourth Master Cui's smile froze on his face.

"I don't want to know each other either." Chen Nianguan saw the steward following Cui Siye lower his head the whole time, and when he evasively raised his head to glance at himself, he was still covering it up, feeling very guilty!

yes?Do you recognize yourself?

Hmph, back then when you came to see Mr. Cui, you pretended to entertain him, but now you want to come to make friends?

Rare!

Let her have a good time too, so what, you ignored me yesterday, but today I make you so precious that you can't afford it.

However, this Fourth Master Cui is a big spender. Seeing that he is very satisfied with the desserts in Tangshui Shop, he can't stop. Give him a step to keep this spendthrift master. Maybe he will be able to make stupid moves in the future.What about when you give ten thousand taels of silver?

It's not bad to offend one master less and keep one more bottle of God of Wealth!

It's leeks, if you pass by, let her cut them!

"Fourth Master Cui, today is my husband's big day, cold drinks are available for free today. There are also special desserts on sale, only for today, if you miss it, you won't miss it. Why don't you do me a favor and come in for a cup of sugar water?"

Fourth Master Cui remembered the Sushan Mango Ice and Shuangpi Nai he ate last time, sucked and frowned.

Hmph, does he look like someone who wronged his own appetite for money?impossible.

Fourth Master Cui raised his fan, opened it with a snap, and showed the most cordial smile since he knew Chen Nianguan: "It's rare that Master Chen has a happy event, and my Fourth Master naturally wants to join in. Come, come, lead the way.”

"Okay, my master please!"

Chen Nianguan looked smugly at Fourth Master Cui rushing into the sugar shop.

Uh huh, no matter who you are, you can't escape the temptation of delicious food!

"Miss Wan!"

Zhang Erlang, who emerged from the congratulatory crowd, straightened his torn green shirt and looked at her with a smile.

"Yulang!" Chen Nianguan looked up and smiled at him.

"Let's go back to the county seat and tell your mother about this?"

"it is good!"

Mrs. Liu is looking forward to the results of Zhang Erlang's scientific examination, knowing that Zhang Erlang really passed the examination, he must be very happy!

That night, Chen Nianguan and Zhang Erlang went to the rice noodle shop to have a celebration feast with the second aunt's family.

Now that Chen Nianguan has money, he has to be bold. Naturally, he will not be reluctant to give up money at this time. He directly booked a banquet in Yueman Building, and invited all the staff from the rice noodle shop, ice shop, and sugar shop to eat.

Everyone was very happy. Not long ago, they celebrated the two students, and now the two students have passed the exam together. There are two scholars in the rice noodles shop, which is amazing!

"Congratulations, Brother Xiucai!"

"Congratulations, scholar-in-law!"

"Same joy, same joy!"

Everyone was smiling, toasting and toasting, pushing cups and changing cups.

"Big brother and cousin-in-law passed the scholar examination together this time, will they pass the Jinshi examination together next time?"

Liu Feng was full of anticipation, "It's going to be a big deal for my elder brother to win a Jinshi! I have to go back to Liujia Village to have a big show, and invite the whole village to celebrate."

"You can also celebrate now." The second aunt patted Liu Feng's head, and said to Zhang Erlang and Chen Nianguan with a smile, "We plan to take Qing'er back to Liujia Village and bring this good news back to Liu's house in person, do you want to?"Back to the county?"

"Yes, yes!"

Chen Nianguan nodded frequently.

So, the second aunt, Liu Qing, Chen Nianguan and Zhang Erlang decided to go back to the county as soon as possible.

Because next month, in August, both of them will come back to Prefecture City to take the provincial exam.

Taking advantage of the strength of being a scholar in the exam, it would be better to be admitted to a Jinshi in one go.

It is also because the time is very tight - usually, if it is not the year of Qiu Wei, the college examination is usually arranged in August, but it happens to be the same year as Qiu Wei, so the court exam is advanced, and they are the first time they get off the stage and immediately pass the exam.Those who are qualified for the scientific examination can only work harder, and hurry up to prepare for the provincial examination by studying the books and doing homework intermittently in less than a month.

Liu Qing is better. As for Zhang Erlang, he really has a big exam every other month, but every time the big exam, although the ranking is not high, he flies at a low altitude, which is better than failing the ranking, and better than the top scholarsAnd worse.

Zhang Erlang didn't say what he was thinking, but the few students in Qingyun Academy who failed the rankings were very envious.

Fan Shanchang was also quite surprised.

Originally, Zhang Erlang's end was just going through the motions, in order to familiarize himself with the environment, so he had no hope of whether he would pass the exam, but it was precisely because he was not expected to pass the exam that he passed the exam all the way, which was surprising.

On the contrary, he placed high hopes, thinking that he could win the "Little Three Yuan" Chen Nianjian, but it was even more embarrassing that he failed to win the first place in the court examination.

Of course, Fan Shanchang will not underestimate Chen Nianjian because of this.

After all, in addition to strength, you have to fight for luck in the examination room of the college. Although he is not the first in the list, he is the second best student, just passing by the top of the case, which shows that his strength is extraordinary.

At the teacher appreciation banquet, Fan Shanzhang encouraged the academy students who had passed the examination, and encouraged the scholars who took the provincial examination a month later to continue to improve, and afterwards, he also comforted Chen Nianjian.

Chen Nianjian's mentality can be described as ups and downs. After a few days of adjustments, he has been able to take a calm look at his failure to win the title of "Little Three Yuan".

After all, compared to the later township examinations and general examinations, Xiao Sanyuan is nothing.

In the future, there will be more scholars with higher talents and higher learning to compete on the same stage. If they can pass the provincial examination one after another and come out on top in the general examination, that is called skill.

He didn't have time to feel sorry for himself over such a trivial matter.

Seeing that Chen Nianjian was open-minded and far-sighted, Fan Shanchang deeply appreciated it.

And the Chen family, knowing that Chen Nianjian won the examination, and that he was only slightly inferior to the first place in the case, was overjoyed, opened the ancestral hall to celebrate, and prayed that Chen Nianjian would make further progress, and give the Chen family a Jinshi master to come back to honor the ancestors.

Chen Nianjian continued to immerse himself in his studies, so he stopped talking about it.

Speaking of Zhang Erlang alone, after attending the teacher appreciation banquet, he returned to the Chenjia Pho Shop for another burst of celebration.

The celebration banquet hosted by Liu Qing and Zhang Erlang was at the Fuxing Building, and the shopkeeper Zhang was happy to be a favor, and let Chen Nianwan take over the entire Fuxing Building at a discounted price. Everyone who knew each other in the county was invited to have a banquet.

Soon, the entire Funing County knew that there were two talented people from the Chen Family Rice Noodle Shop, which led to an endless stream of diners coming to the Rice Noodle Shop, all wanting to take advantage of the good fortune of the talented people.

After the two-day celebration, Zhang Erlang went back to Qingyun Academy to prepare for the provincial examination.

Fan Shanchang was already happy to see the results, so he wanted to see how far this student who was always at the bottom of the list could go.

As for Liu Qing, she had to go back to Liujia Village with her second aunt to worship her ancestors.

Chen Nianguan said, such a lively event, how could she be missing?

So the whole family took Liu Ye and went back to Liujia Village for dinner.

Uncle Liu's family had five generations of unpromising scholars, and now there is a talented man. Not only Uncle Liu's family was pleasantly surprised, but the whole Liujia Village was a sensation.

This became the top priority in the village. Uncle Liu said in front of the whole village that he wanted to hold a running water banquet for three days and three nights.

The first aunt pulled the second aunt and laughed from ear to ear.

I heard that there are free meals and drinks, and people in the village came to help. Men and women picked vegetables and bought meat separately, moved benches, desks, and prepared banquets.All the tables, desks and stools that came over, and those who knew how to cook, all volunteered to help with the cooking and cooking. They really held a three-day banquet. From morning to night, Liujia Village was bustling with activity.

Of course, on the first day when Liu Qing, the protagonist, came back, Liu Li was opening the ancestral hall under the witness of the clan elders, paying homage to the ancestors, and planned to leave for Prefecture City on the second day.

He is studying at Wushan College in Prefecture City, so he has to hurry back to study.

Uncle Liu was worried, and specially selected four young and strong guys, and waited for Minger to protect them all the way back to Chuzhou.

There is no way, after all, he is the first scholar from the Liu family, so he is so precious, he must be protected!

Chen Nianguan said that he is useless for this kind of table noodles where he eats meat and puts rice in big bowls. He watched his aunts, aunts and sisters-in-law flying with kitchen knives, throwing large chunks of meat into the pot and frying it now., holding a big shovel freely, Chen Nianguan felt ashamed.

Honestly help a group of sisters-in-law and aunts, do odd jobs, wash a green onion, break some garlic and so on.

At night, seeing the people in the village chatting unabated, Chen Nianguan said he couldn't do it, so he went to his house to take a nap first.

Well, at home.

Liu's house in Liujia Village has been built!

The whole area is nearly one mu, and it looks like an ordinary farmhouse on the outside, but inside, the main room and the main house are separated from the room of the uncle's house by a courtyard. Flowers and trees are planted in the courtyard, and a garden is built for viewing.The gazebo of the moon, along the Qingbanshi road, reaches the partition wall, and a door directly leads to Uncle Liu?????’s house is opened on the wall, so that they can play in this courtyard, Uncle LiuFamily members can also come to this courtyard to enjoy the flowers and scenery at any time, which can be regarded as a common activity place for the two families.

In this way, it can be regarded as being able to maintain closeness with Uncle Liu's family, but also maintain a proper distance.

As for the main room where Liu's mother and daughter lived, it was at the other end of the courtyard.

Because it is Liu's house, Liu's opinion was fully considered, and several ridges of land were opened up in the front yard to plant whatever Liu wanted. Just like Uncle Liu's courtyard, a few rows of land were planted along the wall.A peach tree, when the peach tree blooms, the surrounding wall will be all pink, it must be very beautiful.

Depending on the peach tree, it is natural to place stone tables and chairs, so that you can sit and chat about family affairs.

In addition, there are neatly paved bluestone roads leading to various courtyards.

Liu's family has only two daughters, so she didn't build many wing rooms.

There are two wing rooms in the east wing and a kitchen room, the same three wing rooms in the west wing, and in the main house, there is only one main room, a main room and two side rooms.

Because there are few rooms and a large area, the courtyard is very large, and each wing room is also large. The whole house looks simple and rustic, but it is generous and grand, and it is much more comfortable to live in.

Liu is very happy with her new house, and so is Chen Nianguan.

The mother and daughter lived in the new house for the first night, and they all slept in Liu's main room.

A big bed was specially built in the room, enough for the mother and daughter to sleep on it.

After Xuan Xuan returned to Liujia Village, he played with Liu Ye and the children in the village. After a day of excitement, he was tired and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on it. Chen Nianguan was so excited that he pulled Liu YeShi babbled.

The same goes for Liu Shi, who has a lot of things that he wants to say to his daughter.

Chen Nianguan naturally told Mrs. Liu that he had earned a fortune, and he was very proud.

Liu Shi, who had never thought that the profit from selling ice would be so high, was shocked, but after thinking about it, ice cubes are really a luxury in summer, and people who don’t have a solid family background can’t afford it at all.

Even if my family can afford ice cubes, it's all thanks to Wan Wan who froze the ice early in the winter.

This year's summer is scorching, but because of the use of ice in her house, it is very cool.

At first hearing that ice cubes can make so much money, Mrs. Liu almost had the idea of selling the ice in her cellar.

Then thought that the cellar was no better than the ice cellar Wan Wan dug in Prefecture City, and there was less ice in it. Now making frozen ice is only enough to meet the ice consumption speed of the pho shop and home, so had to give up.

Besides, she also has a few ways to make money in her hands today, so she doesn't need to rush to sell ice to make money.

When he looked at his daughter again, he was relieved, but at the same time, he was very proud.

Now, she is also a landowner who owns a hundred acres of fertile land.

Because chose to build a new house in Liujia Village, naturally wanted to buy more good farmland here. asked Uncle Liu to look at each other bit by bit.The land was bought on an acre-by-acre basis.

Of course, the land that Liujia Village can buy is limited, so they went to several nearby villages to buy it scattered, and now the Liu family holds the land deed of 106 mu of land in hand.

The fields in other villages are hired by local people as tenant farmers to cultivate them, or they will be rented out slowly in the future, and the rent can be collected in the future.

As for the fields in Liujia Village, Uncle Liu was naturally taken care of.

"Tell me, Wan Wan, what should we plant on our land?"

"Ask uncle to help me see what can be planted." Chen Nianguan thought for a while before saying, "By the way, if uncle has experience, it would be good to plant some ginger."

"Yes, Prefecture City's sugar water shop should be able to use a lot of ginger after autumn. If we can grow it, we can produce and sell it ourselves."

"That's fine, mother listens to you."

Of course, you have to listen to your daughter, just listen to your daughter, their family has risen so fast, and now I have such a rich family background.

"Aniang, tell me, we have so much money now, should I buy a house in Prefecture City?" Chen Nianguan grinned.

Well, now that she is a rich woman with two million crowns, it's time to buy some fixed assets for herself, such as real estate and shops.

Affording a house in Chuzhou Prefecture is equivalent to being able to afford a house in a provincial capital city in her previous life, and she can also afford a luxury house of 50,000 square meters.

Tsk tsk, she is really awesome.

"Aniang, Aniang, when I buy a mansion in Prefecture City, do you and Xuan Xuan want to move to Prefecture City?" Chen Nianguan asked, seeing Liu's hesitation, and said coquettishly, "Just come to Prefecture City to accompany me from time to time,That's good too!"

"You! You just can't save money." Liu couldn't help her daughter, but she still couldn't help laughing.

"Who can't keep it?" She clearly had hidden a sum of up to five thousand taels of silver.

"Wan Wan! Look, there are more than two months left, and you are going to marry Zhang Erlang as a wife. Do you want to spend money to buy a house in Prefecture City?" Liu reminded.

Liu Shi was not surprised that Zhang Erlang was able to pass the test and win the reputation of a scholar. What was surprising was that he was able to rank among the best and obtain the qualification for the scientific examination.

Back then, my husband was not as powerful as him.

That's right, Chen Ming is a scholar, but he is only a low-ranking epiphyte, while Zhang Erlang is listed as a superintendent and is still actively preparing for the provincial examination. In case, this Erlang is really lucky, he is also in the provincial examination.What about getting a Jinshi?

"If he really passed the Jinshi exam, that means he will continue to end next year's Chunwei?"

Qiuwei is held once every three years. Since he can win the exam, he will naturally continue to take the exam.

"At that time, will you follow Zhang Erlang to Capital City?"

Heading to Capital City?

Chen Nianguan's eyes lit up.

Yes, Kyoto.

Of course she wanted to visit the most prosperous city in the dynasty.

"If it ends in Chunwei, then Zhang Erlang won't be able to continue studying at Qingyun Academy. I'm afraid he will go to the academy in Capital City. For this matter, the sooner he goes, the better, and he can adapt to the environment of Capital City as soon as possible.I also made friends with the same subjects in that circle early. At that time, you were also married, and you are a wife, so you have a lot of things to discuss."

The cost of going to Capital City, food, clothing, housing and transportation in Capital City, as well as human relations, even some unexpected things have to be considered.

To prepare in advance, the currency should naturally be saved early.

"So, you can't think that if you save that money, you will burn your hands. The capital is prosperous. If you want to live there, you must spend a lot of money. Don't think that if you have one ten thousand or two ten thousand on hand, it's really amazing. Go to KyotoNo amount of money is enough for that land where every inch of land is so precious." Liu Shi said clearly.

"Aniang, you are so amazing." Chen Nianguan was shocked, "How do you know so clearly?"

"What's the matter? I didn't hear your dad say it before." Liu Shi sighed.

My husband has always wanted to go further on the road of scientific research, but it is a pity that his talents and learning are really limited, and his family situation does not allow him to continue to study after repeated hardships, so he had to give up.

What he can't do, I'm afraid his son-in-law Zhang Erlang can do it today!

The master Juren who was so far away from them now seemed to be able to pick off the two with his hand.

"At that time, your father was looking forward to, waiting for the Jinshi, to take my mother and I to Capital City, to play horses and see flowers!" Liu recalled, smiled sweetly, and looked at her daughter again,"When Zhang Erlang really passes the exam, you can take the place of Father and Mother to take a good look at Capital City."

"Aniang, if Zhang Erlang really passes the exam, you and Xuan Xuan will go to the capital with us." Chen Nianwan became excited.

That is, what is good about the Prefecture City, the Imperial Capital is the best!

To be able to buy a property in Huangdu is really awesome!

"Silly girl, at that time, Zhang Erlang was going to rush for the exam, why should we cause trouble? In the county town, we can't leave!" Liu also laughed, "But, if Zhang Erlang is successful, he can stillAfter a test, I found an official in Capital City, and you bought a mansion, then Aniang and Xuan Xuan will consider going to Capital City to see you."

"Okay, I'll go back and urge Zhang Erlang to study hard, and then..." Chen Nianguan blushed with excitement from the thoughts that popped up in his mind, and announced with pride: "Then, I'm going to open a big restaurant in Capital City,Earn money from people in Kyoto and save a lot of money."

"Well, our daughter is also ambitious, and Auntie likes you."

Liu nodded.

Chen Nianguan decided not to buy, buy and buy for the time being. All the money he saved was used to open a big restaurant and buy a big house in Capital City. He couldn't help thinking about his grand plans.

This is great, can't sleep at all!

On the second day, with thick dark circles under her eyes, she sent Liu Qing away with Uncle Liu and people from a village.

Mr. Xiucai himself is not here, but the wedding banquet must continue.

Uncle Liu and his old friends in the village laughed and went back to eat.

Anyway, there is no shortage of money in the family today, and the eldest nephew is promising, he is the light of the family!

Haven't you seen Liu Shui, the little nephew who just started school, trembling with excitement seeing the eyes of the elder nephew shine?Don't say it outside, but inside the house, you will say that you will also be a scholar in the future.

It would be terrible if there was another scholar in the family!

Chen Nianguan was listening on the sidelines, and naturally he was also smiling. The eldest aunt and Mrs. Liu did not know what they said, so they waved to him, and Chen Nianguan walked over to listen.

"Do you want to expand the scallop paste and shrimp paste?"
