Silly Scholar's Wife

Time passed quickly, and it was already the end of September.

Today was the monthly exam for Mu Chenxi and his academy, Zhao Huan felt a little uneasy, and came out several times a day to look in the direction of the academy.

He was afraid that Mu Chenxi was going to take the exam for the first time, and if he didn't do well in the exam, he would be hit hard. He was looking forward to seeing Mu Chenxi as soon as possible like grass.

Although he knew that he was smart, he could memorize the memorization of books, and Master Jiang carefully taught him that there should be no major problems, but he just couldn't bear to worry.

"Boss, sit down for a while."

Zhang Zhi moved a chair for him and put it at the door for him to sit on.

"No, I just have nothing to do at the moment and come out to do some activities."

Zhao Huan smiled at him gently, Zhang Cheng is a very smart brother, and he also puts his heart into everything he does.

"what?"

Zhang Zhi suddenly looked outside the door, "Boss, some carriages are coming."

Zhao Huan turned his head and saw three carriages had just stopped outside the door. He took a closer look and found that the three stewards of Dingpingfeng from the county seat got out of the carriages.

"welcome."

Zhao Huan came out to greet them. These big customers must have come to pick up the screen that was customized last time. "I was thinking about sending someone to deliver letters to the stewards tomorrow. The screen should be ready."

"I had something to do a few days ago, and today we have time to accompany you over here." Manager He smiled.

Manager Jin and Manager Xu also came over and greeted each other. Zhao Huan welcomed them into the shop and asked them to serve tea.

It was still He Guan who spoke first, he smiled and said: "This time we are here, and we have something to discuss with Mr. Zhao's family, so I will have the audacity to speak on their behalf."

"If you have anything to do, please tell me."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, pretending to be listening attentively.

"Last time we bought some carved flower ornaments, and the ladies in the mansion liked them very much. Now that the flowers have withered and the plum blossoms will take a while to bloom, I would like to ask Mr. Zhao to carve some more flowers and plants. , to relieve the boredom of our lady in the house."

Manager He said the request with a smile, and said bluntly to Zhao Huan: "I know that Zhao Dong's family has its own rules, but the rule is that the dead are alive. I hope that Zhao Dong's family can order a few more pieces based on our sincerity."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Huan was a little ashamed.He doesn't have many customized high-quality products, but there are three of them when they come up, so Zhao Huan has no time to take care of them and can only shirk, and can't take one to offend the other.

However, Fan still had to continue pretending, not to reveal that he had no customized items to make. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't know how much to customize?"

Zhao Huan frowned slightly and thought for a while, "I'm not in a hurry to order a few pieces. If you pick them up, I will definitely take them. But please don't rush too much."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Manager He waved his hand and said, "The carved ornaments will be picked up in a month. Our young master also wants to order a few table screens and animal ornaments, and we can pick them up after these years."

The three stewards reported the patterns and quantities they wanted to customize one after another. They were all small decorations, and they were not in a hurry.

Zhao Huan calculated in his mind that he had enough work for this winter, so he didn't have to hurry, and he could rest earlier next year and spend more time with Mu Chenxi.

"Okay, I'll take these." Zhao Huan agreed immediately.

"Zhao Dong's family."

Manager Xu, who wanted to order a dowry for their family, said, "Our young lady likes the carvings of Mr. Zhao's family very much. I thought you couldn't make those dowries. How about carving more decorations? The time is not urgent, next year Just in summer."

"I don't know how much Miss Guanshi Xu's house wants to order? There is plenty of time. If I can take it, I will definitely not refuse."

Zhao Huan is naturally happy to have these people like his sculptures, "If there is a pattern or what kind of pattern you want, I will draw the pattern according to your lady's request. I will show it to the lady first. If you like it, I can customize it according to the pattern."

"Ha ha."

Manager Xu finally showed a smile, and stopped keeping a straight face, "I have some patterns that the lady wants, but our lady also said that she would like to ask Zhao Dong's family to recommend some more, and she can't think of too delicate and unique patterns."

Zhao Huan took it over and looked at it, and it was indeed some patterns of flowers, plants, and cute animals, and said with a clear smile: "I will refer to these first, and I will also think about any patterns that I can recommend, and I will draw the patterns in a few days. Send it to your house for the lady to choose."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Zhao Dong's family at the mansion."

They sat for a cup of tea, rested for a while, and then set off to rush back to the county.

Of course, before leaving, I still go to the East District to have a look.Seeing the items on the shelves, they were left over from last time, and there were no new ones to make up for them.

I said to Zhao Huan that he was busy, and he affirmed it again. It really is that the craftsmanship is excellent, and the carving work he took over was too busy.

Don't you know that Zhao Huan didn't want to be too busy and didn't have time to take care of Mu Chenxi, so he didn't want to take more calls.

"Master."

After sending off the three stewards, Mu Chenxing came over with a smile and said, "Big business is here again, and this customized boutique is to make money."

"Yes!"

Zhao Huan was also very happy, and he could earn more than 1000 taels of silver by receiving them, and he didn't have to work too hard. "If we can count the decorations ordered by the lady's dowry, we can probably earn three to 4000 taels."

"Wish you prosperity and wealth."

Mu Chenyu hurried over and said, "I hope our shop's business will get better and better, and I also hope that those apprentices will become apprentices as soon as possible. At least we can supply ordinary decorations in the West District, so that the owner will have more time to make customizations."

He smiled without showing his teeth. The business of the shop is good, and they earn a lot of money. The owner is not stingy.

"Well, if they can finish their studies as soon as possible, we can make more money, and it's not a bad idea to open another shop in the county."

Zhao Huan looks forward to the future with them. No one will think too much money and don't want to make money. They just have to do what they can and don't be too aggressive.

…………

At this time, Mu Chenxi was answering questions in the academy.

He read the assignments from beginning to end, and found that he had done them before, and he had recorded them in the books.

But he felt more and more that he did not do well before, and then he did it again, and now he felt that there were still many shortcomings in it according to the teacher's teaching.

So he decided to write again, improve the previous ones, and strive to write better articles.

He shook his head, feeling that the knowledge in the books, the more he learns, the more profound he becomes. He can always discover the previous deficiencies at different time periods, and he can fill in more ideas every time he picks up a pen.

Thinking of this, he took out the paper and thought about it carefully, then picked up the pen and ink and wrote all the topics in one go.

Then put down the brush and start checking from beginning to end.After seeing that everything was correct, he took out the test paper and started copying.

After finishing all the writing, he put the test paper on the table to dry, and after everything was in order, he raised his head and met Jiang Haohai's eyes.

Mu Chenxi smiled, then looked down at the test paper on the table, and then at Jiang Haohai.After he nodded, he happily picked up the test paper and handed it in, and walked out of the school happily.

He didn't know how many people were shocked by this move. When he stood up, he attracted the eyes of those students in the dormitory.

Seeing him handing in the test papers in advance, all expressions changed, some were surprised, some were contemptuous, and some were moved. No one had ever handed in the test papers in advance.

I read the exam questions and thought about it many times, and only started writing on the straw paper after I felt safe.After finishing writing, I have to check and revise many times, and only after estimating the time can I seriously transcribe it on the test paper.

These students have never handed in the test papers before, and they don't even have such an idea. They can't wait to sit there and think about the test questions over and over again, trying to ensure that there is no mistake or omission.

Mu Chenxi didn't care about these things, what would he do in the dormitory after finishing writing, it would be far better to come out and play.With Jiang Haohai's consent, he walked out of the school without hesitation.

Smelling the fresh air outside, I stretched my waist a lot. I was all focused on the exam questions just now, but now I feel a little tired.

It was quiet inside and outside the courtyard, and the monthly exam was going on, and no one moved around to make a little noise, so as not to affect the exam.

He walked around in the courtyard, and the surroundings were quiet, there was no one and no sound, not even the rustling autumn wind.

"Ugh!"

Mu Chenxi sighed silently in her heart, how boring!

He couldn't stay in the yard, he had to go out and find a place to play.

When he came outside the courtyard, it was his favorite Juhai that caught his eye.A large area of ​​chrysanthemums is in full bloom, with a complete range of red, white, yellow and green varieties, and the colors are really beautiful.

"what!"

He jumped into the chrysanthemum bushes with a cheer, looked left and right and smelled, his handsome and unparalleled cheeks flushed with excitement.

"It's so beautiful!"

Mu Chenxi sighed while appreciating: Although there are a few pots planted at home, how can there be such a large sea of ​​chrysanthemums, and the colors and varieties are not as complete as here.

"Humph."

He let out a soft snort behind him, followed by a sentence: "No matter how beautiful it is, you can't pick it at will. This is what the academy appreciates for the students, and it can't be easily destroyed."

Mu Chenxi turned her head and saw the head of the mountain and Master Fan standing on the path.And the head of the mountain was looking at him, warning him with a serious face.

"Master Shan, good morning, Master."

Mu Chenxi walked up to them with a smile, bowed down to show respect, then straightened her waist and said: "Some chrysanthemums are ruined immediately, and they stay on the branches to affect other blooming chrysanthemums, competing to show off their beauty. .It’s better to cut off the branches and put them in, take care of them carefully in a vase, and they can bloom for a few more days.”

He pointed to the chrysanthemums that had passed their full bloom and were about to fall, and said: "It's past the time of blooming, and it will fall with the autumn wind in a few days. If you cut it off and put it in the house, there will be a few more days of flowering. Wouldn't it be better."

After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips again, "If you take it off and dry it now, you can make tea in the future to remove fire and improve eyesight, and it will be even more delicious if you make it into food."

He wanted to persuade the head of the mountain to allow him to pick some. It would be a pity to let the chrysanthemums fade away, so it would be better to let it play its last remaining heat and reflect the remaining value of chrysanthemums again.

"Don't even think about it."

The head of the mountain saw that he was thinking carefully, so he refused straight away, saying: "The remnant scene has the beauty of the remnant scene, and everything in the world has reincarnation. How can you change it if you say it can be changed."

"I haven't changed!"

Mu Chenxi looked innocent, and those beautiful and dazzling star eyes exuded a sense of grievance, "I just thought it would be a pity, and I would like to give them a way to finally display their value. Some withered and fell into the soil, turning into the spring mud of the next year, and some It’s good to use the waste heat to turn it into delicious food and make tea to benefit us, everyone gets what he wants.”

"It turned out to be some nonsense."

Seeing that he was aggrieved, the head of the mountain couldn't bear to teach him any more, so he asked, "Aren't you going to take part in the assessment? Why are you running out to play again now? Don't you want your certificate, so you can be worthy of your family and master's teaching?"

"I'm done."

When Mu Chenxi heard him ask about this, she immediately spread her hands, and said vigorously: "These are all the questions that the master has said, and they are also in the books. It's very simple. I will give the questions to the master after I finish answering the questions."

"you."

Seeing his righteous appearance, the head of the mountain got angry for a while, and scolded: "You can't think about it, think about those questions carefully, how can you come out to play with a simple sentence, and your master allows you to mess around like this?"

"No, our master said that I am very smart, and those topics are not worth mentioning, so I don't need to waste too much time."

Mu Chenxi smiled brightly, and her expression was naturally frank. She seemed to be sure of winning the monthly exam, and her eyes were full of confidence.

Shan Chang was so angry that he just walked away, "I'll go and see your test paper. How proficient you are in studying and how brilliant your essay is, you don't even care about such a big thing as the test."

He turned around and left, but he didn't see Mu Chenxi sitting behind him with a grimace, clearly trying to annoy him on purpose.

"Ha ha."

Master Fan looked at it funny, pointed at Mu Chenxi and said with a smile, "You are naughty, if the head of the mountain sees you like this, he will have to teach you a lesson."

"He can't see."

Mu Chenxi smiled happily, and said with crooked eyes, "Master Fan, do you want to pick chrysanthemums? I can help you."

"Okay, okay, can you pick some for me and save it for tea?"

Master Fan understood what he meant, and decided to deal with the matter immediately, "Just pick it, and then say to send it to me. If you have anything, just come to me, okay?"

"Okay, thank you Master Fan."

Someone helped him with this matter, Mu Chenxi immediately ran into the sea of ​​chrysanthemums to pick those chrysanthemums that were about to fail, but his wife said that chrysanthemums are best drunk when soaked in water!

…………

In the evening, when Zhao Huan came to pick him up, he saw that he was carrying a lot of half-dried chrysanthemum petals and happily showed them to him.

"Daughter-in-law, look, I have picked a lot of chrysanthemums, and they are almost drying."

Mu Chenxi happily brought the chrysanthemum petals to Zhao Huan, and said with a smile: "Didn't my daughter-in-law say that drinking chrysanthemums in water is good for your health? Save these for you to make tea for later. "

"Aren't the flowers in the academy not allowed to be picked? You picked so many, did no one stop you?"

Zhao Huan frowned. If Mu Chenxi was punished or blamed for this matter, it would not be worth it.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi stretched out her hand to smooth the center of his brows, and said with a smile, "I picked the petals for Mrs. Fan, and after I ordered these, no one will blame me."

"okay."

Zhao Huan smiled reassuringly, "Aren't you tired from today's assessment?"

He observed Mu Chenxi, and he was still as cheerful as ever. It seemed that the exam went smoothly, so there was no need to worry about him getting hurt.

"Not tired, very simple topic."

Mu Chenxi blinked her big eyes, and said proudly: "I will definitely pass the exam, give my wife a face, and let them see whether I am stupid or not."
