Chapter 245 The Milk Tea Fairy has come down to earth?
The candlelight illuminated the words on the book.
The palace examination would be held in March of the following year. Jiang Jing held the book, put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and recited: "The affairs of the world are not difficult to legislate..."
call.
The wind seemed to have blown the door open. He closed it, turned around, and was startled. He saw something on the table, picked it up, examined it, and said with a smile, "Hmm, has the Milk Tea Fairy descended to earth?"
Hearing the sound, Jiusu crawled out from under the table.
"Young Master Jiang is so hardworking?"
"To marry you." Jiang Jing bit the straw tightly, the rich aroma of milk tea filled his mouth, his eyes showed deep meaning, his words were straightforward and without any concealment.
Jiusu's ears felt hot and he said, "Ah~"
She looked at the lengthy article on the table, which had neat handwriting and was quite meaningful.
"It is clear that one must establish one's mind for heaven and earth, establish one's destiny for the people, carry on the lost teachings of the ancient sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity. This is from Zhang Zai's "Four Sentences of Hengqu."
Jiang Jing's eyes flickered as he silently repeated, "I think Ah Su should take the imperial examination. She will definitely be the top female candidate."
"Forget it." Jiusu waved her hand. It was not because she felt ashamed, but because she had not systematically learned the ancient process. Even if she was smart, she was not a genius.
Jiang Jing stopped trying to persuade her, after all, Ah Su was already an official appointed by the emperor.
He read a book and she drew a blueprint beside him.
The night is quiet, and my heart is rippling.
"Asu, the end of the year is almost here, what is your wish?"
Jiusu finished drawing the route plan, looked up, thought for a few seconds, and said, "I hope everyone can get through this cold winter safely, without going hungry or freezing."
"I will." Jiang Jing replied with a helpless smile. He moved closer to her, resting his hands on the table, as if holding her in his arms. "A Su, I'm talking about your wish."
Jiusu moved the ruler, listened to the man's hoarse voice, and his heartbeat slowed down.
"I want a kiss from my boyfriend."
Ahem…
It’s over. I’ve spoken my mind.
Feeling the man's figure pressing down on her, she didn't dare to look at him.
Jiang Jing's emotions welled up, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay."
Then he just shook her hand, walked to the bookshelf, took out a copy of the "Meditation Sutra" and read it quietly.
Jiusu smiled secretly. She looked at the road on the map that was getting wider and wider, and her eyes became more gentle. She was looking forward to the kiss during the New Year. The cold winter was not scary because everyone has feelings.
——
The next day.
Hu Baozhu knocked on the door of the mansion early in the morning. She nodded respectfully: "I, I'm here to look for Miss Jiu."
"Miss Hu, right?" Chang Bo saw her shyly nod and said in a softer voice, "The young lady told me early in the morning, so please come with me."
Hu Baozhu felt warm in her heart.
When she arrived at Qiyuanyuan, she awkwardly handed over the things she had brought.
"These are the sweet potatoes and taro grown at home. I hope you don't mind them, young lady."
Jiusu said: "I don't mind, please come in, Miss Hu."
Zitan and Kou Shao warmly invited the person into the house and brought taro ball milk tea. Jiusu said, "You're welcome. Have a try."
"Delicious." Hu Baozhu's eyes lit up. "These taro balls are chewy. I tried to make tea with sweet potatoes before, but it didn't work. So this is how you make it."
Jiusu asked softly, "Can you taste how it's made?"
Hu Baozhu nodded, biting into a taro ball, and said, "First, steam the sweet potatoes and taro, and then fry the noodles. The water is for brewing tea, and I don't know what the other flavor is."
Jiusu said: "That's the taste of milk."
The four people started chatting. Hu Baozhu was very diligent and helped to make milk tea. Looking at her serious look, Jiusu came up with a plan in his mind.
Hu Baozhu stirred the milk and tea bags in the pot with a spoon.
“It smells so good.”
The milk tea is poured into a special glass, which looks very nice. The taro balls are gentle and romantic in color. It is not a question of whether it tastes good or not, but whether it is pleasing to the eye.
Jiusu asked, "Baozhu, what are you doing at home now?"
Hu Baozhu said embarrassedly: "I embroider at home to supplement the family income."
Jiusu invited, "I see you're quite good at making milk tea. Would you like to make it your job? Go to and from get off work on time every day. The monthly salary can be negotiated."
"Really? Really?" Hu Baozhu opened her eyes wide and pointed at herself. "The monthly salary doesn't matter. The most important thing is that I can do something I enjoy."
Jiusu made a preliminary proposal: "Would you like to open a milk tea and snack shop, or a bookstore, along with milk tea and coffee?"
Hu Baozhu chose the latter without hesitation. She asked, "Can everyone in the bookstore read books?"
"It will be all right."
"Can women do that too?"
"Can."
After getting the answer, Hu Baozhu jumped for joy. Then, realizing she was too excited, she quickly bent down and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Jiusu smiled lightly, loving everything about the girl's sincerity.
Kou Shao patted Hu Baozhu's shoulder to dispel her doubts and said, "My young lady is very easy to talk to. Besides, they are all female officials, so they naturally don't mind women studying. Of course, our daughter should help her."
Hu Baozhu said happily: "Miss Jiu is the most powerful and best person I have ever met."
Jiusu listened to their compliments, and her face turned red. She coughed lightly and said, "How can I be so good? You'll make me get carried away if you say so."
The shop was quickly settled.
Custom-made bookshelves and counters.
Jiusu planned to give Hu Baozhu one or two taels of silver per month. She specially wrote a sign saying "Women are allowed to enter" and hired a few people to take care of the bookshelves and collect fees.
The whole show costs only one penny to watch.
The price is unimaginably low.
Yi Hui came to the "Du Fou" library to show her support, braving the cold. She paid some money and was invited to a seat on the second floor, where she was served milk tea and snacks.
There are also wet wipes and gloves on the table to prevent your hands from getting greasy when eating.
She sighed, "How thoughtful."
Suddenly there was a noise downstairs.
Jiusu said, "I'll go down and take a look."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me." Yi Hui looked at her daughter's back, feeling genuinely proud. How could her daughter be so outstanding? She chuckled, lowered her head, drank her milk tea, and read the book in her hand.
Is it okay to read sad literature occasionally?
As Jiusu left, the excitement was reduced by half. She glanced at the man squatting at the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hu Baozhu nervously clutched her apron, moved closer, and whispered a few words into her ear.
"That's the thing, Boss. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
She was so unlucky that such a thing happened on the first day of opening, but fortunately the boss was here, and she kept a close eye on him.
Learn how your boss handles things.
Lin Cheng looked up and said sarcastically, "Don't tell me what you're up to. I can tell right away that you want to put me in jail. You're really heartless!"
Hu Baozhu frowned.
"You are the villain who complains first!"
Jiusu signaled Hu Baozhu to go and do her work first. She didn't understand and asked, "Why did I put you in jail? Did you do something wrong?"
Lin Cheng muttered, "I paid, so what's wrong with just taking a few books and leaving?"
