Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

Chapter 305
As the day of the exam drew closer, Cheng Xue also became more and more busy.

He not only has to take care of the food and daily life of the family, but also takes care of the shop being renovated in the east of the city, and also takes the pulse of Li Hui, Xiao Qinglin, and Zhou Fei from time to time.

The three of them also became self-disciplined, exercising and drinking milk every morning to improve their physical strength.

Xiao Qinglin couldn't care about the shop in the east of the city. He was either studying or on his way to study every day.

Seeing that there are so many people in the city, many candidates who came to Beijing to catch up with the exams have entered the city one after another.

If you have enough money, you can spend a high price to stay in an inn.If you are not rich, you can only find a place by yourself and deal with it for a few nights.There are still those who are hard-headed, go directly to rest in front of Yin's gate in Jingzhao Mansion.Their idea was that the yamen couldn't just ignore it. Indeed, as they thought, the yamen took care of it, but when the exam officially started on March [-], many of the candidates assigned by the yamen were late.

I don't know why I was late, and I didn't understand why I was late. Anyway, everyone was beating their chests and feet at the gate of the Gongyuan, crying and crying, but if they missed it, they missed it, and it was useless to cry.

Everyone knows that "being late" is not that simple, but there is no evidence, so what?

The old people from the capital city who have come to watch the exam all the year round are used to being late.

Some were kind-hearted, so they stepped forward to persuade them not to cry anymore, so as not to get into trouble.Those who listen to persuasion and behave well, sort out their emotions, leave the Gongyuan, and learn a lesson.Those who don't listen to persuasion will continue to make trouble until they call in the yamen servants and leave tied up.

It is said that those who are tied up in this way will be deprived of the status of "Ju Ren" and reduced to a scholar.If you are not convinced and still make trouble, you will be deprived of the "scholar" and reduced to a child.Otherwise, it will be white body, or even beheaded.

In short, if you dare to make trouble with the Yamen, you must be prepared to be picked up.

"Ma'am, get in the car."

"Oh, good." Cheng Xue responded and got into the carriage.

When sending Li Hui off, the carriage couldn't get in, so Shunxi drove to a distant place.Because Cheng Xue was waiting for the car to stop, she naturally saw such a scene.

Not to mention how difficult the process of entering Beijing to rush for the exam is, it is really not easy to go from the white body exam to the exam.It is a pity that I have lost my identity because of "crying".Of course, she didn't think it would be that simple to be late, but when she couldn't change, she had to work hard to adapt, otherwise it would be futile to be individual.

It took more than half an hour for the carriage to leave the Gongyuan and head eastward across half of the capital.

This street is the oldest street in the capital, and the shops on the street are all one-story houses, unlike the three-story pavilions on the main street.Each shop has a large area, and there is a big backyard behind the shop. It is said that it was built like this when it was first built, but it was not built like this later.

"Ma'am, here we are."

Shunxi opened the car door while talking, and put the stool on it.

The carriage can come in directly from the back door, so one can imagine how big the backyard is.

The capital city in early March was a good time, neither hot nor cold, and it would be too late to wait another half a month.There are five exams in total, each three days, and after each exam, you can rest for two days before continuing.It can be said that the exam will be held throughout March, and the front line is very long.

It happened that she could use this time to finish the shop. If possible, it would be best to open it on March 28, so that on the day of the temple fair on April [-], the house-hopping could make a lot of money.

Go through the back door and come to the lobby. The lobby is in a mess.

The shop was Xiao Qinglin's grandmother's dowry. Before the old lady passed away, she gave all the shops and houses to her grandson. Now that they have taken them back, many places have to be demolished and rebuilt.

It has been disassembled for several days, and the progress is too slow.

Guanshi Zhang saw her, walked up to her in a few steps, bowed his hands and saluted——

"Second boss, you are here."

She is the second boss, Xiao Qinglin is the first boss, there is a difference in title.

Cheng Xue didn't care about this, she glanced around and frowned and asked:

"How many days will it take to finish dismantling?"

"It will take five days at the earliest to go back to the second owner's house. Our shop is too big."

The shop is square and square, not counting the back kitchen but just the front hall, it is about two hundred square meters.It took time to dismantle it, but she couldn't wait five days.

"No, it's too slow. Three days, if you can't finish three days, you will be replaced."

As soon as the workers heard "replacement", they immediately started to get busy.The head foreman came directly and offered to rush to work in the dark at night.

Guanshi Zhang didn't respond. After all, if something went wrong, it would be bad for Feng Shui.But Cheng Xue didn't care about this, what she wanted was to open the business as soon as possible and complete the project as soon as possible.

"It's okay to be dark, let the brothers work hard. The candles will be prepared here, and you should be careful at night. If it can be completed within three days, an extra one or two will be added to the wages."

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

When the foreman heard the price, he couldn't stop nodding and said:

"Don't worry, we will finish it within three days, and we will never delay your next work."

Guanshi Zhang didn't expect to be able to do this. He opened his mouth to deny it, but he didn't dare to speak out.He is in his 30s, the son of Xiao's family, and his brother works as a steward in a string house on the main street.This time, the uncle opened a shop and was short of people, so he came here.I thought I could be like my elder brother, making decisions and handling things by myself, but I didn't expect to have a "second boss" who suppressed me, and she was a woman.

Even though the uncle obeyed her, he really had complaints about her.It is too inappropriate for a woman to show her face when she is not at home to help her husband and raise her children.Now adding an extra tael to the cost is nothing to the Xiao family, but if he wants to make a splash, he must control the cost.

Alas, it's too difficult.

Just as he was wondering, Cheng Xue asked aloud:

"Have the skewers and the stove been delivered? I said last time that the red wicker has been polished?"

Manager Zhang came back to his senses, nodded and said:

"It's all good, it's all good. It was delivered early in the morning, and it's in the back kitchen. I'll take you there."

No matter how upset he was, he couldn't show it on his face. He had to bear with being crushed to death by a senior official.

The back kitchen is empty, and there are things for the shop in the middle of the floor.

Cheng Xue casually took a few to see, they were the same as what she wanted, and the red willow branches had been sharpened and polished, so they could be used for skewers.

"Have you found a tailor shop?"

"Hui Er's owner has already been found. The people at the main street shop have already measured the size, and they can be replaced in half a month. Our recruitment notice was posted yesterday, and several of them came to sign up. According to your instructions, three Let them come over on the tenth day of the lunar month."

Hearing this, Cheng Xue raised the corners of her mouth, played with the sticks in her hand, and nodded.

"Very good. I'll come over on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and the two of us will watch people together. The red contract of the skewer master has to be signed for ten years, so don't forget that."

"Don't worry, I won't forget this. Is Mr. Li going to the Gongyuan smoothly today?"

"Successful, I went with Brother Qinglin. I'm free for these three days. I won't come after the first round. I'll come back when the second round begins."

"understood."

Cheng Xue looked at the space in the back kitchen, wondering how to use it.The kebabs are not here, so I have to go to the backyard. Pulling a piece of tarpaulin will not be cold even in winter.But in summer, it’s a disaster, and the smoky temperature is still high...
