Nongmen Shenjue

The summer rain came and went quickly, and it was over in an hour.

Chen Shiliu used to live in a separate small courtyard behind the county government office, which was found for him by County Magistrate Zhou so that he could take care of him nearby.After all, he is the son of everyone, and he must not be taken care of in daily life on weekdays. County magistrate Zhou communicated with his wife, and sent two well-trained maids and servants early in the morning.

As soon as the game was broken, Chen Shiliu moved directly to the backyard.

After a day of drowsy sleep, Chen Shiliu sat in the back hall full of energy the next morning. The street outside was full of people, but his shop was deserted.

He Chuan was sitting in front, seeing him pacing up and down from time to time and looking very anxious, he smiled and comforted him: "Master, we just opened our business, and it's not like selling groceries, so it's sure to be indifferent. Besides, we don't open on weekdays. , opened for three years, don’t worry.”

These are all comforting words, and they all understand the reasoning, but He Chuan himself really hopes to get a good start as soon as possible.

Chen Shiliu could only nod his head and wait patiently.

The clinker waits for four or five days, there is no business, and not even a fly flies here.

Chen Shiliu felt that this was very different from what he had imagined. According to He Chuan, such a lonely life might last for a month, or even a few months.This is not possible, if the business does not come to the door, can't he take the initiative to find it?

He told He Chuan his idea.

He Chuan smiled wryly: "Master, I've thought of this a long time ago. The brothers at the yamen greeted us and kept an eye out for us. I also sent the old Wu and the others to find ways to inquire about news and find business opportunities. Woolen cloth."

Chen Shiliu said irritably, "I used to think there were many things to do in the yamen, but now there is nothing to do."

At the beginning, I still stood guard in the backyard with a posture, eating and sleeping every day, or just in a daze, it was really boring.In the past few days, he just sat in the front hall, lazily reclined in the chair, looking at the passers-by outside.Those passers-by looked at Shen Duanju with puzzled and strange eyes, and looked at Chen Shiliu in a strange way. Chen Shiliu was not used to it at the beginning, but now he can turn a blind eye.

"Master, Mr. Zheng from the teahouse sent a post, explaining that Mr. Daily is going to talk about a new book, please appreciate it. Mr. Zheng also said that Mr. Mu also accepted the post."

Chen Shiliu immediately regained his spirits: "Finally we are going to talk about the new book!"

He had already got the news that Chang Yunsheng was going to talk about Li Liangji's case, but he would appear in it.He even began to fantasize that if this story was passed back to the capital, his family members would be able to see it. He was not fooling around, and he had done something important.

Waiting for it, finally it's here!

Mu Qingyan had indeed received a post from the teahouse, but he didn't intend to go, because he always had the feeling of flattering others and bragging about himself.Rather than listening to books, he is more interested in dragon boat racing.

Half a month away from the Dragon Boat Festival, Fenglinlinshui, the Dragon Boat Festival is very lively every year.All villages and towns will have young adults, team dragon boat races, and the county magistrate will also attend. The prizes are rich and honorable. It is regarded as a grand event by the locals, and preparations have started early.

This is also a top priority for the Mu family.

Mu Lin is the main force of Qingshan Village's dragon boat team, while Mu Wen and Mu Wu are participating in the Fushui competition, even Mu Wan and Mu Xiu are busy preparing together with the women in the village.

Two days ago, Mu Wan came to give Mu Wen Mu Wu new clothes, and a bamboo basket of freshly picked fruits and vegetables. She also asked the two to pay attention to safety when entering the water. The water depth is dangerous.

Naturally, Mu Qingyan didn't dare to be sloppy, every evening when Mu Wen and Mu Wu went into the water, he would watch from the bank.

The place where they practice is not far from the ferry, which belongs to a tributary of the Qing River, and extends deep into the hinterland of the mountain.This tributary passes through Liushu Village, passes through Tiandi Village, and passes by Qingshan Village. It is the main source of water for irrigating the surrounding fields. Because it meanders and has three big bends, the locals call it Sanwan. river.

At the confluence of the Sanwan River and the Qing River, a large lake is formed, which is the venue for dragon boat races every year during the Dragon Boat Festival.

There are many people going swimming these days, and dragon boats are often seen passing through.

This morning, Mu Qingyan was looking at the vegetables in the vegetable garden, and when he saw the inn next door, he was a little envious.

Now more than half a month has passed, the inn has finally been built, and the working meal also ended yesterday.

The inn is divided into two parts, front and back. The front two floors are operated, and the back is the owner's private residence.The person who greeted the house from the very beginning was called Zhang Zhong. He thought he was in charge, but he turned out to be the shopkeeper.There is also a husband and wife who cook, their daughters help, and two fellows who run around.

The inn looks pretty good, the key is that the house in the back is comfortable.

Although it is blocked by the courtyard wall, the spiritual power can give a clear view of the interior scene layout.At first glance, it looks like an ordinary small courtyard. There are three rooms in a row, and there is a kitchen on the left. The building is different from the inn, which is mainly made of wood. The private houses are basically made of green bricks, and the yard is paved with green bricks. There are flower shelves and potted plants. The grass and trees reveal leisurely comfort and elegance.

In his previous life, Mu Qingyan wanted to live in a farmhouse for the elderly, and he liked this kind of yard.

The bedroom and study room in the house are all well-arranged, just waiting for the owner to move in.

It's been a long time, and that mysterious boss hasn't shown up yet.

However, it should be soon, maybe we can see it today.

Today is the opening of the inn, long firecrackers have been hung in front of the door, and the plaque is also decorated with red silk.

As a neighbor, Mu Qingyan naturally wanted to congratulate him.

Now he doesn’t need to care about the steamed buns in the morning, and Mu Wu’s skill in steaming steamed buns to make noodles is as good as his. Mu Wen followed suit, mainly responsible for collecting money and greeting guests.He only cooks and stews at noon and at night, or when guests order food, he can basically free himself up, but he just can't bear to watch two and a half older children working hard.

When they were close, Mu Qingyan came over when he heard the sound of firecrackers.

The red cloth on the plaque was uncovered, and the name of the inn was very ordinary: Qinghe Inn.It's easy to remember, when doing business in the ferry, it's either the ferry Datong shop or the ferry rest shop, but it hasn't been named after Qinghe.

Zhang Zhong cupped his hands at the visitors and invited everyone in with a smile: "Our shop is open today. Thank you for your congratulations. There is a banquet at noon. Everyone don't leave, stay for a glass of water and wine. They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and I hope you will take care of me in the future." .”

"Shopkeeper Zhang, on such a grand opening day, your host will not come?" Many people were curious about the owner of the inn.

Zhang Zhong said with a smile: "Why don't you come to such a festive day, the host will be here soon."

As soon as these words came out, Mu Qingyan became interested.

Congratulations to Xi's money, followed the trend and gave [-] Wen, and some gave more.

When Muji shop opened, the surrounding businessmen gave only a few coins. It has to be said that people also watched people order dishes.It's true, if such an inn really took a few pennies, it would be embarrassing to sell it.

The lobby on the first floor of the inn is a place to eat. It is very spacious with five or six tables. The counter is against the wall on the left, and there are stairs leading to the second floor on the right.There are seven or eight large and small rooms on the upper floor, and there are also rooms behind the lobby on the first floor, but it is a Datong shop.Because the inn is next to Mu's restaurant, a fence was built on the other side, and a firewood shed was built, so that the inn could be parked to feed the animals, and it was also connected to the kitchen.

It can be said that this inn is more than twice the size of Mu's restaurant, not counting the small courtyard behind the private house.

Mu Qingyan estimated in his heart that it would cost hundreds of taels of silver to build it up and down.The place is large, and the materials are exquisite, especially the small courtyard, not to mention the furniture inside.

A green silk carriage stopped in front of the inn, Zhang Zhong rushed to meet him and opened the curtain himself.

The guests all guessed the identity of the visitor, including Mu Qingyan, they all looked over curiously.

When the man got out of the car, everyone was stunned.

Wen Jixue!

Mu Qingyan was the one who was the most surprised, but after thinking about everything since we met, he didn't seem so surprised anymore.

This is a surprise.

"Welcome, everyone." Wen Jixue waved her hands towards the crowd, and her eyes fell more on Mu Qingyan: "Mu Treasurer, follow me into the back house for a while."

Mu Qingyan nodded and followed him to the back.

It was not until the two figures disappeared that the quiet lobby resumed its sound.

I have to say that Wen Jixue's grandeur is quite bluffing. The guests who came to congratulate her were all doing business at the ferry. After all, they were ordinary people. Dare to breathe, this is a kind of awe, awe of Wen Jixue's possibly astonishing family background, but also not daring to blaspheme, this stems from Wen Jixue's rare appearance and temperament in the world.

Wen Jixue took him to the small courtyard, where he sat.

"Do you know why I open an inn here?"

"why?"

Wen Jixue smiled and said, "I hate your cooking skills."

Mu Qingyan laughed dumbfounded, but he believed the answer.

You know, even though Wen Jixue didn't live in Ferry before, she came to eat every day regardless of the weather.He cooks all the meals by himself, and what Wen Jixue is greedy for is the effects of the dishes. Considering that there is no trauma on his body, and he doesn't seem to be sick, it is likely to be poisoned.

The life essence of plants treats the symptoms of toxins but not the root cause, but it represents vitality. After ingestion, it will repair the meridians and internal organs damaged by toxins, and also resist the destruction of toxins to a certain extent.Maybe there will be an illusion when you first ingest it, thinking that the toxin will be removed, but it is not that simple.

Mu Qingyan said: "Whatever you want to eat in the future, you can buy the ingredients yourself, and I will make it for you."

Wen Jixue's eyes lit up, and her smile became more intoxicating: "It's disrespectful."

He also said: "Wen has a lot of free time, so just talk about what is useful. Similar to the last time you went to the mountains to find someone, you'd better not be alone, you may not be lucky every time."

Mu Qingyan couldn't help but look him up and down, if it wasn't for his background being a mystery, he would have hired him now.such a pity.

Wen Jixue felt that his eyes were strange when he heard someone coming.

The person who came was Zhang Zhong, followed by Mu Wen.

"Second brother, Young Master Chen sent a car to pick you up. He said he would treat guests to dinner, so please be sure to honor them. Besides, there is still something to discuss."

When the cars came, Mu Qingyan had no choice but to go there.
