Chapter 196 The Liu Family's Industry

The entire Liu family went all out, and cleaned the streets around the house twice, and every brick was washed clean.The doors and windows were wiped, the walls and beams were dusted, and the legs of the tables and stools were wiped clean.As the news spread, the common people gathered around to watch the sweeping scene of Liu's house being cleaned.

The county government was also very active and arranged for people to clean the streets.The entire Yuanfeng County is much more refreshing.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw the carriage convoy, they subconsciously wanted to kneel down. They bent their knees and tried to stand up straight again. They bowed down and respectfully asked for a few compliments before letting them go.

As soon as the carriage team entered the city gate, a carrier pigeon flew into Liu's mansion, and the young servants also flew back to the mansion to report. All the main figures of the Liu family stood outside the gate and waited.

The people in the city stood curiously by the side of the road to watch the excitement.Yan Shoulu rode on the horse, attracting countless enthusiastic eyes and screams.

The civil servants were all on the carriage, and the common people couldn't see it, but those eyes seemed to lift the curtain and see the scene on the carriage.

The team stopped in front of Liu's house, and the people on both sides crowded around even more.Yan Shoulu got off his horse and stood beside the carriage.Zhang Ci and Chen Fan took the children out of the carriage first and waited at the gate.

The other civil officials got off the carriage first, and the common people exclaimed again, "It's so beautiful, so graceful, so majestic, and all kinds of words flew towards the officials.

Zhong Shuling was the last to get off the carriage, and the audience was silent for a while, everyone kept their exclamations tightly in their mouths, for fear of disturbing that adult.

Zhong Shuling stood still, nodded and smiled at the surrounding crowd, and there was a sound of breathing in the crowd.

Chen Fan smiled faintly. Fortunately, these people came here to watch the excitement, and they didn't hold anything in their hands that would get in the way, so that one wouldn't drop the bowl, and the other wouldn't let the water spill.

When I was in Wangjiadun in the morning, the man under the flower corridor was completely overwhelmed.Pedestrians only looked at the officials, and some tripped themselves or bumped into other people when they started.The hands and feet of the stalls on the roadside were uncoordinated. Some knocked over bowls, dropped spoons, and knocked over stalls.

Although the palace examinations all pay attention to personal and verbal judgments, and those who can be ranked at the top are all good-looking and good-looking, but it is not enough to send eight good-looking ones on a business trip, right?However, these eight people are all good-looking, plus the clothes are good-looking and the hats are good-looking. If you stop on the street, there is no one who is not fascinated.

Two guards lifted a box, grabbed the candy inside and distributed it to the crowd of onlookers. The scene was once very lively.

The old lady and others bent down to salute, said a few words of warm welcome, and then accompanied the adults into the gate, and the carriage was led to the stable by someone.

After entering the front yard, all the officials sat down one after another.Chen Fan greeted everyone, and then went to the backyard with the women's family members and children, and everyone gathered in the big wife's yard.

Liu Huaijin also followed back to the backyard. The eldest lady took his son's hand and looked at it twice from head to toe with distress, then patted the back of his hand and said, "Not bad, I feel more energetic."

Aunt Xie hugged her son: "Why didn't you come back yesterday? You have to wait until today to come with them?"

Liu Dingkang said: "Yesterday we will entertain all the adults in Wangjiadun. Although we are not from the Chen family, we have always been with the children of the Chen family, so we can be regarded as half masters."

Rong didn't speak, just hugged his son quietly for a while, then patted his back and let him sit on the chair.

Chen Fan and Huai Shan sat next to Liu Huaizhen.Huai Shan asked: "Is Eldest Sister feeling better these two days?" Liu Huaizhen smiled: "It's better, I actually slept for two days and started to take some recuperating medicine."

Huaizhen's complexion looked better, but her mood was not very bright.

The eldest wife asked the children: "What are you busy with these days?"

Liu Chenfeng said: "I have to read and write every day. Sometimes I play chess with adults. We even learned archery from soldiers."

The eyes of the women lit up.

"How did you shoot?" Aunt Xie looked at her son.

"Our children are very strong, and they can barely shoot the lightest bow. They will not bring us some bows for fun. Brother Shiwu and Brother Zhuzi practiced very well, and the centurion even praised them It's over." Liu Dingkang said.

Everyone looked at Liu Huaijin and Chen Zhongzhu in unison, and they smiled shyly.

"Go buy some bows and arrows when you have time, and let the children practice more." The eldest wife decided, and the children saluted her happily.

Liu Chenfeng glanced at Chen Zhongyan and Chen Yue, but said nothing.Aunt Xie looked at the two of them: "You must be very good at archery, right?"

Chen Yue smiled lightly: "It's okay, we are older and stronger."

Chen Zhongyan didn't smile, and said lightly: "I am born with relatively strong strength. If I can draw the bow, the arrow will go farther."

Chen Zhongzhu also smiled innocently: "I am also born with great strength, and now that I can eat enough again, my strength is even greater."

Aunt Xie looked at Chen Fan again: "Sister Chen is the best at archery, right?"

Chen Fan smiled: "I haven't learned it before, the first arrow has not reached the target, the second arrow flies again, and the third arrow hits the target."

Aunt Xie asked about homework again: "Did the adults help you with your homework?"

Liu Huaijin smiled: "What are the identities of the adults? How can we be worthy of asking for advice from the adults with our current knowledge? What's the matter? We have to wait until we have the status of juzi and go to the capital to take the exam before we are eligible to visit those adults. .”

In the main hall of the front yard, the two masters Liu have been chatting with the adults for a while, chatting about what to eat, what to play, the children and the cook at home.

Then, everyone chatted about business.

"The wine you sent last time is really good. It has a rich aroma, a clear color, a mellow taste and a long aftertaste. We all like it." Tang Chaoying said.

The three members of the Liu family laughed from ear to ear, and Master Liu said repeatedly: "Thank you for your compliment, sir. We are overjoyed. You have enough drinking here, and you can bring some back when you return to Beijing."

Tang Chaoying smiled and said, "Thank you, old lady, thank you, Mr. Liu. Where do you sell this wine?"

Mr. Liu said: "There are shops in the city of Qingzhou and various counties. The winery in Guangyun County, Xizhou was originally the dowry shop of the eldest daughter of the family. Now it is under the name of someone else. We cooperate with them. There are some wineries in Yunzhou, Jingzhou. Shops. There are no shop wineries in other distant places.”

Tang Chaoying smiled and nodded: "It's not a lot. It's reasonable to operate steadily. The cloth village and the drug store are also the property of the Liu family?"

Mr. Liu nodded: "The family has a lot of land and weaves a lot of linen, so they started selling cloth and ready-made clothes, and gradually established several cloth shops. The business of the medicine store requires more labor, after all, there are not many medicinal materials in Yuanfeng County. Most of them have to be shipped from elsewhere."

Tang Chaoying smiled: "Are you interested in selling wine to the capital?"
