Chapter 334
Visually, the woman in front of me should be fifty. Although she didn't put on makeup, she could tell she was a scholar when she got there, and her temperament was obvious.

Slowly, the two looked at each other, and Cheng Xue saw the surprise in her eyes, probably because she didn't expect to be able to look at her so straightforwardly.

Smiling, he took out 20 taels of silver from his waist and put it down——

"Mr. Tan, this is the deposit money paid in advance to the children. After all the 80 sheets are paid in full, the remaining [-] will be paid with one hand and the papers will be collected with one hand. If the children finish well, I will pay for similar work in the future. will deliver."

The silver came from Lian's family.Not only silver, but also paints, ink colors, and even the Huanhua paper prepared by Bai's, let Lian's pay for it.And those gadgets to be given away are also paid by Lianshi.

Even though she has money in hand, she just invested a large amount of money to decorate the shop some time ago, and now she continues to spend a lot of money, which really hurts her "vital energy".After all, those gadgets of the Bai family, even the daughter of a wealthy family, have to be considered before giving away.

Tan took the silver, nodded slowly and said:

"Yuxian misses the children in the academy. This kind of heart is rare. Thank her for me. By the way, do you have a daughter?"

"Yes." Cheng Xue replied, "I have two daughters. The older one is twelve, and the younger one is six years old."

"Oh, there are two." Tan murmured, with an intriguing expression on his face.

Cheng Xue saw what she meant, smiled and said:

"When the child's father's palace exam is over, we will return home together. After half a year after leaving, I really miss it, and I don't know what Chunpeng is like."

"Returning home? You went to Beijing with your family, is it just to accompany your husband on the scientific examination?"

Seeing her disbelief, Cheng Xue shrugged indifferently and reminded:
"Mr. Tan, our family is from Liaodong, and there is a time limit for guides."

When Tan Shi heard the last sentence, he suddenly realized.

"It's more than 2000 miles from Liaodong to the capital. Are you just to accompany the exam?"

Lu Yin still can't believe it, the cost of the trip is not a small number, even if the family is rich, just bring Erlang, why bring Nv'e too!

Cheng Xue didn't know what she was thinking, but if she knew, she couldn't have the current good temper.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, the farthest place our mothers go to is the town. My husband often said that 'reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles', so we took advantage of his scientific research and our family followed. Although it is not possible to travel thousands of miles, but We have left the county, the prefecture, and the current capital. We have no other ideas, just wander around, look around, and see the world."

After listening to these words, Mrs. Tan pursed the corners of her mouth tightly, and didn't say anything more.The more I talked to her, the more I felt blocked, so I stopped talking.It happened that several girls brought in the Huanhua paper, together with the paint, and she gave the deposit to one of the little girls——

"This is the deposit, and the rest will be paid after you finish it."

The little girl took it with both hands, stroked Chengxue slightly, and said:
"Mrs. Li, just follow your picture, right?"

"Yes. You can also draw what you want, as long as you highlight the location of the store, the date of opening, the small gifts from the event, etc. This is drawn by my youngest daughter, and the artist is a little immature."

"Your little daughter? How old is it? It's a good painting."

"Six years old." Cheng Xue responded with a smile.

After the things were delivered and the tasks were arranged, she simply bid farewell and left the academy.

There are a lot of things to prepare before the opening, and there is really no time to waste time here.Originally, she wanted Bai Shao and Shunxi to come and deliver them, but they specially arranged for her the opportunity, and if she handled it like that, she would be a bit ignorant.

After getting in the car and ordering "Shabu Kushiya", Cheng Xue leaned against the wall of the car, closed her eyes and meditated.

I got up very early today, I went to Zhou's house to pick up things, and then delivered them over before the start of classes at Dunhuang Academy, I was really sleepy.

Confused and wobbly, by the time she realized something was wrong, the car had already stopped for a while.

Seeing that she was awake, Bai Guo hurriedly handed over the prepared hot tea and said:
"Ma'am, drink some and wake up."

"How long have I slept?"

"Return to madam, half an hour. This servant made Shuangxi stop the car without calling you, and ask madam to punish you."

"Punish you for what, you have good intentions." Cheng Xue finished her tea, got up and got out of the car.

From the corner of the eye, I looked at Bai Guo around me from time to time, and always felt that she was different. I thought it was an illusion, but now I can be sure that she has indeed changed a lot.

The shabu-shabu house has been completely installed, and today I am here to interview the waiter and the cook.

All women, from the manager to the account to the waiter and kitchen.Only a small number live in the city, and the rest are all girls from villages on the outskirts of Beijing.

There was no other way, as there was really no way to recruit people, so the Bai family sent people to look for them in nearby villages.

Food and housing included, two or two per month.If the benefits were placed in Liaodong, they would have to squeeze their heads to apply for the job.

Bai Po came back from the east of the city and followed along. In the middle of the interview, there was suddenly the sound of drums and gongs outside, which was very lively.

Before Cheng Xue's master and servant realized what had happened, two of the recruited girls spoke in surprise——

"The top three are parading the streets, the top three are parading the streets."

"Ah? What did you say?"

The two little girls who spoke said proudly as if they had passed the exam:

"If you go back to the owner's house, this is the champion and the others..."

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Xue hurriedly got up and rushed out, with Bai Guo following behind.

The quick actions of the two made the little girls startled and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Bai Po knocked on the table and turned everyone's attention to her.

"It doesn't matter whoever parades in the street, let's continue, you guys continue to answer the question I just asked..."

At Shabukushaya, Bai Po presided over the overall situation. Cheng Xue and Bai Guo saw their backs when they ran into the street.I want to catch up and ask about the actual situation, but I can't find a chance at all except people or people.Ask the people nearby, everyone is like her, very confused and ignorant.

There were five palace examinations in total, and according to the date she remembered, tomorrow was the first day of the fifth, so why did she suddenly win the first prize?What's even more embarrassing is that she can't go back now, and can only be rushed forward by the crowd.Baiguo and Shuangxi are all around her, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Following the crowd out of the main street, the three of them turned left directly into the alley, and only then did they have a short rest.

"Madam, Shuangxi will take you home first, and then go to the Jingzhao government office to inquire about the situation."

"You go now, I don't need you to send it." Cheng Xue's heart was beating.

Regardless of whether she won or not, she wanted to know if she was really the No. [-] pick.No one would believe what he said, and he was rushed out of the main street by the crowd. What happened is still unknown.

"Ma'am, this servant thinks that we should go home first. No matter whether it is the palace trial yuan or not, going home is the most accurate. And your safety is the most important thing. If you make any mistakes, the master will definitely ask for the servants."
