Xu Qing called the children to the dining hall and said to them, "today I want to announce a good news to you."

Twenty nine children, five girls, twenty-four boys, all looked at her expectantly with wide eyes.

Xu Qing said: "DAHAO has many orphans like you, so the imperial court decided to set up an adoption home to adopt children like you, teach you to read and bring you up."

The children looked surprised and puzzled.

Xu Qing: "as you know, many people died during the natural disaster. Now there is a shortage of people everywhere. The imperial court and the army are short of people. If you can study hard, you can take the imperial examination or join the army to serve the imperial court in the future! If you don't want to be here, you can do something else, such as studying arts and going into business. If you feel that you can't study literature and martial arts, you can go to Yamen to lead the field and establish your own house when you are 16 years old. It's also good to cultivate the land and support yourself in the future! "

"Really Is it that good? " A child asked weakly.

Xu Qing: "I dare not say too much, but I can guarantee that at least it will not be worse than the past and present situation. When you go to the adoption home, the court will arrange for your husband to teach you knowledge. You have to work hard to learn your skills. Only when you come out of the adoption home in the future can you support yourself. "

The children looked at each other, digesting the news, but no doubt, after listening to Xu Qing's words, their hearts were elated.

"Where is the adoption home, please?" Asked a child.

Xu Qing: "at present, there are two cities in Hezhou City and Qingzhou City. You probably don't know where they are. Capital, you know, Hezhou and Qingzhou are two relatively rich cities near the capital. I live in Jizhou city. If you are assigned to Jizhou city, maybe we can meet more often in the future. "

The children suddenly look forward to it. Although they are young and don't understand many things, they at least know that rich places are rich, which means they should not be hungry.

And after half a month of getting along with each other, they already know that their eldest sister is a very good person, and every child is thinking how nice it would be if they could be assigned to Hezhou City.

Children have expectations and expectations, no longer like to come when the dead.

But Xu Qinglin found that he had forgotten to recruit apprentices when he left.

In the last three days, Xu Qing let out the news of recruiting apprentices. This time, she didn't ask for anything. She just asked someone willing to come to Li house to find her.

Xu Qing's reputation has spread all over Fanzhou city. We all know that her cakes are delicious, and we have seen her two little disciples.

So when Xu Qing said to recruit apprentices, we subconsciously measured them according to the standard of Xu Qing's little apprentice.

In fact, there are many teenagers of the right age, but their families are reluctant to let their children go so far to study arts when they hear that they are going to a place so far away from Hezhou. It's not easy to meet them in the future.

The standard of Xu Qingshou's apprentice has never been determined. He used to look at talent, but now he's starting to look at eye luck. If it's not suitable, don't do it.

Moreover, she has already looked at it. As an apprentice, it doesn't matter if you are lucky or not. If you are in a hurry, it depends on fate.

The day before he left, Li Changting dismissed all the cooks, servant girls and young men in his family. These servants have been following Xu Qing for two months, and they have already been in love. Unfortunately, they also have relatives here. They can't follow Xu Qing to Hezhou. After all, it's hard for them to come back.

Xu Qing gave each of them a big red envelope. After the next people left, Xu Qing also asked his family to pack up.

Ji sold all the big pieces of wine, leaving only a few jars to carry, ready to take to Jizhou.

The day before he left, Xu Qing went to cook for the children, because they were dismissed. This time, the children helped. A group of people and children each did a little, and soon they finished the work.

After dinner, Xu Qing made cakes for them. She hoped that the children would have sweet and delicious taste in their good memory in the future.

A group of children gather near Xu Qing to watch her knead noodles to make yolk cakes and small cakes.

Xu Qing is not afraid of these children. If he can remember how to do it after watching it once, he is a genius.

In the middle of Xu Qing's work, he saw a girl in front of him eager to have a try. He couldn't help trying.

"Do you want to try? Come and do it with me." Xu Qing waved to her.

The little girl pursed her lips and laughed. She went to wash her hands before she came over. She learned how to make yolk pastry crust with Xu Qing, and wrapped it with stuffing.

Xu Qing saw the little girl see her do it again, quickly remember her technique, and flexibly learn to use it, although the package is not as beautiful as her, but the first attempt to wrap the stuffing is not easy.

Xu Qing took her to do it several times, and gave her some tips. The little girl soon did it in a decent way.

Looking at the little girl with a happy smile, Xu Qing said that she was hit by a knowing blow.

She finally understood the feeling that Hu Ling wanted to leave the child alone!

Now she's taking this little girl as an apprentice, not a child abductor, right?This is fate!

The next pastries are all finished by Xu Qing and the little girl. After the little girl has finished all the pastries, she still has a little bit of feeling.

Xu Qing asked her, "what's your name?"

The little girl showed an uncertain look: "I don't remember. Maybe it's spring flower?"

Xu Qing: "village flower?"

Looking at the little girl's round face, round eyes and freckles, Xu Qing felt that her parents must have placed deep hopes on her.

The little girl read, "spring flowers, spring of spring."

Xu Qing: "Oh, Chunhua, do you remember your last name?"

The little girl shook her head: "I can't remember. I don't know if it's Yi."

Xu Qing: "one?"

After a pause, she said, "is it a jasmine flower?"

The little girl tilted her head in bewilderment

Xu Qing: "jasmine is the name of a kind of flower. It only blooms in spring, and it is the earliest flower in spring. It means to welcome the arrival of spring, so it is called jasmine."

But do you have this surname? Xu Qing doesn't know.

But the little girl liked the name very much. She said firmly: "then I should be called yingchunhua!"

I didn't expect that my name could have such a beautiful meaning. The little girl thought her name was very good.

Xu Qing also thinks it's nice to read it several times. The key is that it's easy to remember.

"Chunhua, how old are you?"

"Eleven."

"Really eleven? I think you're as tall as the table. I thought you were only seven years old. "

The little girl probably heard Xu Qing laughing at her short, bulging face, a little wronged.
