Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 123 Chapter 121
The days passed quickly, and it was October in a blink of an eye, and the exam would be in another month.

There are many candidates from all over the capital in the capital, and the exam every three years is a real big event for all the candidates.

Lin Yuanxuan basically spent the past few days studying at home, practicing the You Lie mental method, and then taking care of business matters.

The weather is getting colder and colder. About 110 houses have been built in Zhuangzi, and there are still about ten houses that have not been completed.

These ten houses have all been demolished, and the foundations have been laid, and the remaining time is half a month.

Lin Yuanxuan stood on the martial arts training field on one side, looking at the houses on the other side, which were neat and tidy, and the alley was quite spacious enough to drive a carriage, he couldn't help but nodded.

Zhao Ziluo stood beside him, and said softly: "Master, the Fanghua Building is coming soon, and it will be ready in another month, which is almost the time when the young master will take the test.

By the way, the pot that the young master asked the blacksmith to make last time is ready. There are a total of [-] pots and some stoves. They are all placed in the shops we bought the month before. What should we do next? "

Some time ago, Lin Yuanxuan asked people to take over five shops and planned to open a hot pot restaurant.

The shop is not small, it can accommodate almost [-] tables, and it has been doing renovations some time ago.

The decoration of the hot pot restaurant is relatively fast, and it is not as complicated as the Fanghua Building, so it has already been renovated.

"Follow me to the hot pot restaurant tomorrow morning, with a gift, and leave the hot pot restaurant to him in the future, but he has to listen to Nan'er's arrangement."

Lin Yuanxuan raised his voice, and then changed the topic: "In a while, you can go and get a pot and a stove, and then buy some coal. We will have hot pot in the front yard at night."

Zhao Ziluo nodded and said excitedly: "Master, we have already replaced the plaque with the emperor's inscription, and the business has improved a lot during this time.

Many people wanted to admire the emperor's calligraphy, so they would stand in front of the shop for a long time, and after standing for a long time, they would buy some things by the way.

Moreover, the people from the Military and Horse Command Department of Wucheng used to always want to cause some trouble for us, and we had to do some sorting and send some things from time to time.

After having this plaque, not only will they not bother us anymore, but sometimes they will help us with some matters. The emperor's face is really great. "

Lin Yuanxuan responded, and said seriously: "The people in the shop still have to be restrained, and they can't be too ostentatious."

"Where's Lu's shop and the princess's shop?" Zhao Ziluo asked softly.

Lin Yuanxuan shook his head and said: "That has nothing to do with us, anyway, we have a contract, as long as they don't breach the contract, we don't care, once they breach the contract, we will suspend the cooperation.

As for whether they want to make a high profile, that's not within the scope of cooperation, so we don't care. Anyway, even if there is something, it will be borne by the Lu family and the princess. "

"I understand, young master." Zhao Ziluo responded, then cupped his hands and said, "Young master, then I will arrange it."

Lin Yuanxuan turned around and went back to the main house. Luo Qingcheng was letting people wash the bedding and clothes there. When she saw him, she saluted and said, "I have seen you, young master."

"Have someone wash some cabbage and other fresh vegetables, make some tofu, buy some fresh beef and mutton... By the way, use a stone mill to grind some peanut butter, grind it a few more times, and grind it finer.

Chop the chili, add beef and bean paste, and boil a pot together... Forget it, you go to prepare the materials, I will make these things myself. "

Lin Yuanxuan ordered, Luo Qingcheng looked at him in surprise and said: "Young Master, do you know these things?"

"Since we are going to open a restaurant, we must have some private food, otherwise what can we use to compete with others?" Lin Yuanxuan smiled.

Luo Qingcheng was wearing a plain robe, her long hair was hanging down her head, and the hair of a woman to be married was tied on top of her head. She was extremely bright and beautiful.

Lin Yuanxuan glanced at her, feeling that her face was a bit dazzling.

Her beauty is not inferior to that of Zheng Nan'er, but she is inferior in style and plumpness, but she is also a first-class woman.

Noticing Lin Yuanxuan's fiery gaze, Luo Qingcheng blushed slightly, and said softly, "Master..."

Lin Yuanxuan withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly and said, "Go and arrange what I just ordered, and I'll take care of it when it's done."

"Young master, there is someone outside the door begging to see him, saying that it is Feng Luan from Jiaofang Secretary who came to see him off." Huzi's voice came.

His voice was so loud that the whole yard heard it.

Lin Yuanxuan was overjoyed, turned to look at Luo Qingcheng and said, "The rest of your Luo family are here, go and pick them up!"

Luo Qingcheng was startled, a little joy appeared in his eyes, and then he followed Lin Yuanxuan and walked out.

Walking all the way to the gate, Feng Luan of the Jiaofang Division stood in the yard, and behind him stood nearly twenty women, all of whom had delicate faces.

When they saw Luo Qingcheng, many people cried and shouted: "Miss! We finally see you!"

"Sister, I almost thought I'd never see you again."

"If I stay there any longer, I want to kill myself! Thanks to my sister for helping us!"

These voices were yingyingyanyan, Luo Qingcheng said with a sullen face, "It was not me who brought you out, but the young master. From now on, you will all be servant girls of the Lin family. You must understand your identity and don't shout!"

Lin Yuanxuan folded his hands in his sleeves, and said softly: "Qingcheng is the head housekeeper of the Lin family, you can just follow her arrangements from now on, let her talk to you about the rules now."

Luo Qingcheng bowed to him, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, young master! This servant is willing to do anything for young master!"

Lin Yuanxuan's heart felt hot, but he just responded lightly, then pulled Feng Luan to the side and said, "Feng Luan, thank you for your hard work, how many people are there in total this time?"

"A total of 18 people, according to the rules of Jiaofang Division, 300 taels per person, 400 taels of silver." Feng Luan whispered.

Lin Yuanxuan first took out two banknotes, handed them to Fengluan and said, "I promised you before that I will give you 100 taels of silver for each person I send.

There are 2000 taels of silver here, and I will count it as if you sent twenty people over here. You keep it, and I will count the 400 taels of the Jiaofang Division for you. "

While speaking, he counted out another 400 taels of silver and stuffed it into Feng Luan's hands.

Feng Luan was overjoyed: "Thank you Mr. Lin! How can you be so embarrassing?"

Although he was saying he was sorry, he had no intention of returning the extra 200 taels of silver to Lin Yuanxuan.

Lin Yuanxuan said softly: "As long as you do things well for me in the future, I will naturally not treat you badly."

"Don't worry, my lord, they are all clean and no one has touched them, but there are three others who have already been bought, and there is nothing I can do about it.

After all, my official position is too low, but if there are new recruits in the future, I will definitely send them over for the young master as soon as possible, and will not give others a chance. "

Feng Luan said softly, and then changed the topic: "Recently, I heard that in the war between Dazhou and Xixia, several wives and concubines of important people were kidnapped, and they are going to be sent to Jiaofang Division. If they come, do you want them?"

Lin Yuanxuan was taken aback. His original purpose of asking Feng Luan to give him away was actually just to do something to the maximum extent.

After all, the women who can enter the Jiaofang Division are all people of some status, either officials or businessmen, and many of them are actually clean.

So Lin Yuanxuan's intention is to save their family members from being humiliated.

But when Feng Luan asked, he still nodded and said, "Yes!"
