Chapter 70 Business
As for the name that An Xu announced earlier, Uncle Fang didn't take it to heart at all. It's uncertain whether or not that name will be used when she gets married.

Early the next morning, Fang Bo drove out of the city in a carriage with more things and more people than when he came.

This time the weather was fine and the journey was smooth. When it was getting dark, they took the official road outside Chipu County and detoured to the official road leading to Maliuyi.

When An Xu saw this official road, he felt kind. After seven or eight days away, he finally arrived home.

The horse's hooves rattled, half an hour later, when they arrived near Xuejiaji, Fang Bo steered the horse to turn, while smiling loudly, "I can get home before Xu time."

"Hey, I've seen that man give charcoal to the little girl who runs a stall here, you can ask him."

Not far ahead, there have been a few more small stalls in An Xuzhi's stall in the past few days. It looks like they sell food. A peddler who is kneading cakes on the chopping board is pointing at the carriage that is about to go to the official road. Talk alone.

The man was dressed in black clothes, and his unsmiling appearance was quite bluffing. He put down a piece of broken silver on the table, and when he got up, he took the horse next to him, turned on the horse and chased after him.

Uncle Fang soon found someone riding a horse behind him, so he leaned the carriage to the side of the road, who knew that the horse followed closely behind the cart, fisted and asked, "Grandpa, do you know someone who used to work on the side of the official road before?" business girl."

Fang Bo was taken aback, then subconsciously looked back, and asked, "What do you need from her?"

The well-dressed man also took a look at the carriage, and said directly: "My master has received the favor of the girl before, and he was tied up by something before, so he didn't have the chance to thank him in person. When he came to look for someone a few days ago, he found that the girl was no longer there. I will stay here and wait for the girl to come back, and give these two things to her."

It turned out to be a good thing, Fang Bo smiled and said: "That's a coincidence, she is in the car. Her brother is going to take the exam these days, so she went to Fucheng to accompany the exam."

An Xu then opened the curtains of the car.

The well-dressed man didn't seem worried about being cheated, he just asked An Xu what his name was and which village he lived in, and happily handed her the two stacked boxes in his hand.

An Xu opened the box and looked. In the upper box were three silver ingots, each worth ten taels, and in the lower box were three blue-bound books.

One is the food forest, the other is the recipe, and the other is the product.

It's all for cooking. An Xu glanced at it roughly, and found that it was just a few buns. He didn't expect that the man was really a noble person, and the thank you gift he gave was so thoughtful.

----

"What are you talking about? Asking you to take care of the house to help feed the camels, why don't you know how to store the fodder in advance? You are putting in effort and money. What's wrong with me bringing some camel milk back?"

Before he got close to the door, An Xu heard the voice of his uncle cursing.

She had enough fodder before she left.

Just as he got out of the car in doubt, he heard the sound of the door closing, and the uncle came over while speaking, "Stop talking a few words, why don't you just spend a couple of pennies to buy a bucket of milk and talk about it?"

The voice stopped when he saw An Xu and the others, and Uncle An said happily: "I'm back, I said it's time to come back. Have you eaten yet, go home and eat."

Uncle An was very concerned about whether this boy could pass the exam, and he went to the town to inquire about the news two days ago. According to the general situation, if there is one, the news will usually come back before the person.

Because there was no news that anyone in his village had passed the exam, Uncle An thought the result was not good, so he didn't mention it.

But the uncle didn't care about that, she didn't think too much about it, she put a bucket in her hand to the back, and asked, "Boy Zong, how is it? You passed the exam?"

Zong Che simply replied with two words, "I got hit."

Uncle An was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "Okay, this is a good celebration, let's go to Uncle's house. Yo, why are there two more people here?"

At this time, Uncle An paid attention to Feng Nian and Dao Xiang who were helping to unload things from the car.

The auntie also took a look at the two children, but blocked what the man said before, "What is there to celebrate? There are many people who fail to succeed in the exam for a scholar. Da Ni, these two children are what happened?"

An Xu ignored the uncle, and just said to the uncle: "I'm bothering you these days, so we won't go to eat at home, and we will see you tomorrow. By the way, here are a few packets of dim sum and two catties I bought in Fucheng. Bacon, you take it back first."

"What do you want this for?" Uncle An waved his hand, "Boy Zong and Chong'er are both growing up, so let's keep it for ourselves."

After saying that, she pulled the old woman away, and the auntie wanted to reach out to grab it, but she was slapped hard, and said in a low voice, "Your younger brother, I'll save face for you."

The voice could be heard by several people at the door of the house. Fang Bo shook his head, helped put all the things in the yard, and then told An Xu to go home.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Fang." An Xu took out his purse, and handed over the money that he had counted in advance, along with a piece of bacon, "Thanks to you these days, you take care of the money for these few days."

Fang Bo only took the purse, and said with a smile, "I'll take the money, but you should take the bacon back. A few more mouths have been added to the house. You need to know your plan when you live."

"Hey, no," he said, weighing his purse, "isn't this just eight hundred Wen?"

An Xu said: "There are still two hundred cash for the hard work of the horse. It has dragged us for so many days. You can give it more bean cakes to supplement it when you go back."

Then he gave the bacon to the younger brother, and asked him to take Fang Bo out who wanted to refund the money.

"Fang Bo, I won't be far away. You should go home quickly. It's been a few days, and my aunt must be worried." An Chong sent Fang Bo outside the door, and turned around like a monkey and closed the door.

Fang Bo cursed with a smile, turned around and drove the carriage to his house.

At home, the old woman had heard the news of their return, and was heating hot water in the kitchen. When she heard the sound of cars and horses stopping in the yard, Aunt Fang threw two sticks of firewood into the stove and hurried out, asking, "I heard that the Zong family Did the kid pass the exam?"

"Not only did he pass the exam, but he's also the leader of the case." Fang Bo walked to the kitchen while talking, "Tomorrow you catch two chickens and send them over, it's a little kindness from us."

Fang Bo only had one son, and the three generations of his family still lived together. Before he could finish his words, his son An Hanhai came out of the house with his clothes on and asked, "Father, did you really pass the exam?"

"That's still a holiday, I've been following." Fang Bo washed his hands and asked his son how his work was these few days.

An Hanhai is still working for Fang Bo's former nursing home, Zhou Dahu's family. He and his wife live in the county town on weekdays and come back only once every ten days and a half months.

"It's okay, the annual vacation will be in a few days, I'll send their mothers back first."

The father and son were talking here, while Mrs. Fang had already opened the wallet that the old man had just handed over, and was roughly counting two strings of copper coins there.

Fang Bo saw it and said, "Don't count, Dani gave me another two hundred wen, so the total is one thousand wen."

"Why do you give so much?" Aunt Fang was surprised.

An Hanhai was also surprised. Although he also didn't take the two hundred essays seriously, he was reluctant to give them to others.

What's more, how many days does it take for the villagers to save up to two hundred Wen?

Fang Bo smiled and said to the mother and son: "It's so strange to see it, Dani has a clever mind, and the things she makes are not only delicious for us ordinary people who have never eaten good food, but even rich people like it. Two hundred cash counts." What, just wait, their family will eventually be a big family in the future."

It's just that he can't take the two hundred Wen for nothing. Anyway, we are considered elders. Fang Bo plans to not charge An Da Ni's family for a ride in a city or anything in the future.

Linhe Village is not small, but the speed of spreading the news is not slow. Early the next morning, everyone in the village basically knew about Zong Chezhong's scholar. In the morning, your family has a chicken, and my family has a liter of rice. Come here with the gift.

It's not that if you don't accept these things, you can stop accepting them, even if Zong Che has won the Jinshi, the villagers have to keep sending them.

You said that you are afraid that people will ask you to do something after consciously giving a gift, and you will not accept the gift if you are worried that it will be difficult to handle?Don't think about it once, it will ruin the reputation of the whole person.

Regardless of how high we can go in the future, we still need a "mass foundation".

Therefore, these accompanying gifts should be received and received, and they should be kept in an account, so that they can be returned in the future when there are any weddings and ceremonies.

An Xu didn't do anything serious that day, and entertained the villagers from time to time. In her spare time, she only planted a few peach trees that she bought in Fucheng.

Fortunately, Feng Nian is capable, cleaning chicken coops, feeding camels, sweeping the floor, going to the greenhouse to pull weeds, An Xu doesn't have to worry about these trivial tasks, he will do them all well.

An Chong came back late, so he didn't want to rest when he got home, he went straight to school.As for Zong Che, he brought a box of books with him when he came back. During this period of time, he studied a lot, and he also had to attend the provincial examination to be held next summer.

Not to mention the people in the village, even his former private school classmates came to invite him, but they all refused.

So basically it was An Xu's work in the busy village.

In the evening, Zheng Changsheng came in with two rotten fish. An Xu had been waiting for him all day. When he saw someone coming, he put down the broom that was cleaning the pot and walked out.

"You came just in time. I also said that if you don't come later, I will go to your house."

"What can I do for you?" Zheng Changsheng handed over the bad fish in his hand, "I bought it in a small town in Huaiyang Prefecture. The bad taste is quite good."

"Thank you," An Xu handed the fish to Daoxiang, and said, "I have a business that I would like to cooperate with you, let's talk in the house."

Zong Che was in the kitchen. He was helping An Xu wash the dishes just now. When Zheng Changsheng came, she dropped her things and left. It didn't seem like she liked him a little bit as she said.

He was a little annoyed, but he couldn't do anything. It was already his meddling to remind her to pay attention to the defense of men and women before, and if he mentioned it now, he might make her feel that he was too busy.

"Master, the dishes have been washed." Dao Xiang reminded.

Zong Che came back to his senses, only to realize that he was washing the "bowl" in the water without holding anything in his hands.

Throwing down the rag, he went straight back to his room.

An Xu and Zheng Changsheng talked in the room for half an hour. When they came out again, Zheng Changsheng was full of excitement and said: "You can go to work as soon as you finish the tools. I will harvest sugar cane tomorrow. Next door In Yanxia Village, every village grows sugarcane, so there must be a lot of sugarcane left at this time."

"Okay, try to charge as much as possible, so that we can catch up with this good time a year ago."
