A piece of paper

Mrs. Qu finished pouring a cup of ice tea and Xianjin drank it down respectfully.

Not to mention, it's really delicious.

Mrs. Qu's taste in judging people is not very good, but her taste in making drinks is very good - she can definitely become a "Tea Queen".

Selling point: Each cup of tea soup has the same color as the rice paper. For example, "Guanlv" is Shiyan green tea with a little mint; "Changchun" is black tea with a little mulberry juice or saffron juice; "Han Baiyu" is just any tea with some added The color is made from a little bit of milk
and many more.

If the rice paper has color.
Xian Jin squinted his eyes and was about to think more about it, but was interrupted by Mrs. Qu's "Sit down".

Show money and shake your head, first hide the idea of ​​getting rich, and then sit like a roasted quail with eyes, nose, nose and heart.

"Jingxian shop." Mrs. Qu picked up her chopsticks first, put half of the plate of bamboo shoots into the soup, and opened the scene with a casual sentence, "It should have been given to the third child."

Xian Jin pursed her lips and refused to answer the question - the boss's family property should be given to whomever you want. As a junior professional manager who has not yet climbed to the position of CEO, she has no need to answer such a sensitive topic.

The bamboo fungus has already been soaked and cooked in a few seconds. Mrs. Qu gave it to Xian Jin when she picked it up with her chopsticks.

Xianjin nodded in flattery and waited for Mrs. Qu to eat first before using his chopsticks.

"It's just that the third child doesn't think about it." Mrs. Qu spoke very casually, and it seemed that it was not a carefully considered conversation. "The second child has no son. Even if I give him the family business, who can he pass it on to? Or Sanlang." With Shiro?"

The bamboo fungus enters the mouth, carrying the fragrance and pungency of the spicy black bean soup base, and slides smoothly into the throat.

Xianjin nodded, "Yes, yes, give it to Saburo, give it to Saburo."

Mrs. Qu glanced at the little girl, cooked another half plate of fried tofu skin, and while waiting for the fire to boil, she continued, "I know, he blames me and blames me for only seeing the second child and the eldest child, but he doesn't think about it." , the eldest brother becomes an official, the second brother gets rich, and he is the younger brother, wouldn’t he be able to be a young master while lying down?”

Xianjin nodded again, "Yes, yes, be a young master, be a young master."

The tone was respectful, and it hinted that if Mrs. Qu asked Chen Fu to be sent to the KTV to be a young master, she would immediately buy sequined pants and mousse for the cheap daddy.

Xianjin never answered, which made Mrs. Qu feel depressed. She cooked half a plate of dry rice noodles with one hand and added it to the soup. After a while, she cooked two pieces of nine-hole lotus root. Finally, her emotions finally leaked out between the taro and bamboo shoots. ——

"Your second uncle is struggling in Jingxian County, and your second aunt is in a dilemma in the mulberry paper workshop. When we do business, what we fear most is internal strife."

Mrs. Qu's expression became tense, and she thought of Qiao Baozhu at home and the scholars in Nanzhili who regarded Qingcheng Mountain Chief Qiao Fangzhi as their teacher and father. She forced herself to soften her expression a lot, "When the Chen family is well, the third child will be well. You Only then will we be fine. We are all grasshoppers on a rope. If the ship sinks, everyone will be wiped out."

"Sister Jin, you are very smart. You are even smarter than the descendants of the Chen family. No, no, you are even smarter than many men! You should understand the principle of both prosperity and loss."

Mrs. Qu spoke earnestly, "What do you want? Money? I can let you share the dividends. You can take as much as Chen Laowu takes. Marriage? You can rest assured that grandma will not treat you badly. Even if you are not a Jinshi candidate, you will definitely be." Can give you a stable and happy life. A dowry? A few days ago, I was telling Er Niang how much money you have made for the Chen family over the years. When you leave the cabinet, I will add one-third of the money to you. "

Xian Jin holds a chopstick of tofu skin.

Aunt Qu thought Xian Jin liked to eat, so she quickly prepared half a bowl of tofu skin for Xian Jin.

Looking at the Dou Shan Pi Hai in front of him, Xian Jin truly felt Mrs. Qu's overtures and weaknesses.

"I don't want anything." Xianjin looked very calm.

Mrs. Qu's next words were cut off.

Xianjin shook his head, "I just hope that the Chen family will be better, make better paper, sell it farther, and go more steadily, to Yingtianfu, to Beizhili, and even to the capital - just like you As he said, if the Chen family is good, I will be better, and all I want is a happy place."

Mrs. Qu blurted out, "Then in the Jingxian shop, why bother stumbling on the second child?"

Xian Jin smiled and said, "Old madam, how did I stumble my second uncle?"

Mrs. Qu was speechless: Everyone does it spontaneously, okay?Boss Shang would rather stop doing business with the Chen family than give this little girl the title of queen!The junior students who were among the top scholars went to the city to take the exams and even came to deliver agricultural products to their doorsteps!
These are neither profit-driven nor fame-worthy, they all stem from the word "love"!

Mrs. Qu opened her mouth. She wanted to say: In that case, let's ask the printing workshop and the academy to continue cooperating with the second child!

The words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them out.

This is really shameless.

Even she felt very shameless.

Xian Jin looked at Mrs. Qu's face, smiled again, and chose to poke through the window paper himself, "Old madam, ask yourself, am I stumbling upon the Chen family, or is the Chen family guarding against me?"

Mrs. Qu's expression was dark and uncertain.

Aunt Qu took a deep breath, trying to make herself thinner, preferably blending into the wall.

Xian Jin picked up a piece of tofu skin and chewed it slowly.

Mrs. Qu lowered her voice and said, "The Chen family gave you a Jixi workshop!"

Xian Jin finished eating the tofu skin and took a sip of mulberry ice tea. He felt refreshed and said, "I have paved a bright road for the Chen family."

Whether it is the long-term cooperation with private schools and Mongolian schools, or the friendly relationship with Xiaocao Village and Boss Shang, or even more, Li Sanshun has been improving the measurement system of Liuzhangxuan.

She opened the market for the Chen family, secured raw materials and reprocessing upstream and downstream, and paved a way to Beijing to take the exam.

And what else did Mrs. Qu give her?
A second uncle who picks peaches, and a lifeless shop.

She doesn't care.

Gold can shine wherever it is.

Even if she is not given a shop, she can still turn the bad cards in her hand into a straight.

But what about Chen Fu?

Why is her stepfather?
In Baochanduo Temple, a sensitive, self-respecting and low-self-esteem person like Chen Fu stood up for the group of people behind him, but was trampled under the feet of the bandits - the bandits' swords were sharpened and could be chopped at the neck at any time.

And the guys behind her?
In the flesh and blood, Tuesday Dog and Zheng Da fought for everyone's way out; Li Sanshun buried the rice paper in a safe place and rushed out holding the stone; Zhang's mother and Suo'er stood in front of her.
Once she loses power, will the honest but stubborn second uncle still use them?Will you still support them?Will it lead them to a better place?

Why are they?
Xian Jin raised his head and drank the mulberry ice tea in one gulp, "If you are wary of me, you don't have to use me. After all, my surname is not Chen, I am an outsider after all;"

"You can also believe in blood. Chen Laoliu, who is sneaking around and enriching himself, and Chen Laowu, who is ruthless and slow to encroach. These are the Chen family. What have they brought to the Chen family? Mediocrity? Food and clothing? Or disaster?"

"I am grateful for the opportunity you gave me: for daring to use a little girl brought by a concubine, you are already more generous than many family heads."

Xian Jin smiled, his smile a little bitter, "But do you know when you are most disappointed?"

"You give people hope, but then you squeeze this hope tightly, leaving only a small opening. The person's head goes out, but the neck is stuck there. In the end, he can only die of exhaustion and suffocation."

Xian Jin stood up and knelt down respectfully.

Kneeling for the first time in this life showed the strength of modern people.

This kneeling, kneeling out of the broken cauldron that has slowly integrated with this era.

"Thank you for the pot, it's delicious." After saying that, Xian Jin stood up, turned around and left.

"and many more!"

Mrs. Qu clenched her hands tightly, "Wait!"

"What if you are asked to help the second child?" Mrs. Qu's eyes were bright. "They are all from the Chen family. There is no difference between helping the third child and helping the second child!"

Xian Jin raised his eyes, his eyes dark and deep, "They are all sons. It makes no difference to you whether you use the third master or the second uncle."

Mrs. Qu's last words stopped abruptly, her eyes fixed on the sapphire blue silk tablecloth with ruffled edges on the table, and she seemed to have made up her mind. , or you can leave it to him to test the waters.”

Xianjin listened attentively.

"You will be the shopkeeper of all three shops in Xuancheng, but the accounts must be supervised by the second boss." Mrs. Qu slowly raised her head, "Your salary will be maintained at ten taels per month, and you will be divided into dividends based on the surplus at the end of the year. One percent.”

Three shops and a big shopkeeper.

Xian Jin laughed in his heart, but there was no hint of it on his face, and his tone was simple, "I need the identity of Director Dong's family and Zhang Ma and her son."

What difference does it make if the body deed is given to her or not?

They were already hers.

Mrs. Qu nodded gently, "Yes."

Xianjin said again, "I need to be completely proactive in all operations of Chen Ji's shop. Just like when I was in Jing County, I would report to you every quarter. I will formulate documents in advance to report the daily expenditure and layout. Give your approval."

Mrs. Qu was stunned: she didn't expect that Xian Jin would take the initiative to return power.

Xian Jin smiled and said, "No matter how smart I am, how can I be better than you who have been working hard in Xuancheng for decades? You have already attained the Tao. I have just practiced it. Even if I am arrogant, I will not be able to see this truth clearly."

Mrs. Qu looked at Xianjin with a complicated look. After a moment, Fang said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."

Xianjin said again, "I also need the discretion of all the clerks in the shop. Whether to leave or stay, whether to be promoted or demoted, I will make suggestions based on my reference."

Once the financial power is given away, the personnel power must be grasped, otherwise, she will really become a high-level brick-and-mortar.

Mrs. Qu thought for a moment and nodded decisively, "Yes."

Xianjin continued, "A hundred-footed insect rots from the inside, and when it rots, it is necessary to scrape the bones and cure the poison before it can be removed. Many children of the Chen family, or in-laws and distant relatives who are inextricably linked to the Chen family, I will definitely bear the brunt of it. I hope that when Old Madam hears this situation, you don’t have to doubt that I will eradicate dissidents.”

Mrs. Qu looked at Xian Jin from the defensive look in her eyes at the beginning, to the shock when Xian Jin took the initiative to break the window paper, to the consideration of Xian Jin's request for power, and finally to the current acceptance of fate?

"You've already taken care of my second son's job, so why would my distant nephew dare to be so arrogant?" Mrs. Qu said with a half-smile.

Xian Jin took it as a compliment, pursed his lips and smiled, "The second uncle is the eternal root of the Chen family."

Madam Qu held her forehead and rubbed the bridge of her nose, "Is there more?"

Xianjin shook his head, "No more."

Mrs. Qu glanced at the pot.

The soup in the pot is cascading hundreds of times, with red soup on top of the boiling waves and a white bottom, and all the vegetables are served side by side.

"Then go." Mrs. Qu raised her shoulders and neck slightly, as if exhausted, "I hope you will always remember what you said today - everything for the Chen family, everything with the Chen family."

Xian Jin walked in the corridor, tapping his toes on the ground, feeling very excited. However, as soon as he returned to Yiyuan, he saw Suo'er sitting among the flowers with red eyes and twitching.

Zhang Ma was so anxious that she immediately rushed towards Xian Jin and said, "It's Ergou!"

Xianjin's whole body was about to stand up with chills, "What's wrong with Master Gou?!"

Suo'er cried, "Everything was fine the past few days. Uncle Lu took care of me closely. I made medicine and ran around. But I started to have a fever early this morning. Uncle Lu just told me that Ergou was twitching all over when he fell asleep. I rushed When I went in and touched the back of my hand, my forehead was as hot as a fried egg!"

Fever cramps!

Xian Jin said anxiously, "Where's the doctor!"

"There is a woman in the suburbs who is having difficulty giving birth, and the doctor is here!" Suo'er cried loudly, his face pale, "The doctors in several medicine halls also have patients. Will he die? He is only 20 years old! He is not married yet. Where’s the wife! The shopkeeper is whining, hooting, hooting, hooting!”

Xianjin's mind was in a state of confusion, "I'll go to the magistrate's office to ask Mr. Xiong! Or send a doctor! Or lend us two horses and rush back to Jingxian County overnight to ask Doctor Wang to come out of confinement!"

Xian Jin said he was going to do it, turned around and walked out.

Zhang’s mother stamped her feet and quickly held Xian Jin’s hand, “Back to Jing County, everyone is getting cold every time they come and go!”

Mother Zhang’s single-track mind finally broke through the Chu-He-Han boundary in the kitchen. In the dusty memory of her brain that was covered in piles of red dates, barley, pork chops, and shredded sauerkraut, she finally found out a vague piece of news——

"I heard from the sister-in-law of Mrs. Cuicui's second aunt in the third wife's room that the old lady's great-nephew is the medical officer of the government office. He is visiting the outer courtyard for the past two days. How about we invite him?"

Xian Jin was knocked unconscious by this blow, "Huh?"

"Medical officer!" Zhang's mother shouted loudly, "He only treats doctors of the fifth rank! If you go to the government office, he might come too! It's better to save Mr. Xiong's favor and let's go directly to the outer hospital to treat him!"

Xian Jin turned around and ran towards the outer courtyard, with Suo'er chasing after him.

After asking all the way, Xianjin knocked on the firewood door of an independent courtyard panting, putting his hands on his knees. Before he could speak, he heard a "pop", and Suo'er knelt down on the gravel ground neatly, "It's Doctor Qu." Really!? Please help me! Please help me!"

Xianjin didn't have time to think about it, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a young man wearing a light cloud-colored gown walking out of the inner room.

Xianjin said loudly, "But Doctor Qu?"

The man raised his head, his eyes were clear and quiet, he walked quickly and said in a deep voice, "I am."

Suo'er cried with joy.

Xianjin saluted hurriedly and said quickly, "I am He Xianjin from Yiyuan. The third master of the Chen family, Chen Fu, is a clerk in my father's shop who was injured. The injury is a bit serious now. Can you please come and check on me?"

Thinking it was too abrupt, Xianjin added, "The doctor I usually see has an emergency, so I can only turn to you for help."

The man responded, "Wait for me for a moment," then turned around and took the medicine box and carried it on his left shoulder, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he quickly walked out.

Xian Jin hurriedly followed.

Walking to the arch, we encountered drizzle again.

The man made way for an inner path and walked quickly while saying in a warm voice without leaving a trace, "The midsummer rain is so hot that it hurts the liver. Miss He had better use her sleeves to block it."
