Chapter 259 The medicine boy is not a distinguished guest. Because it was someone who was really unexpected, everyone in the Chen family was shocked. It¡¯s Mulan who¡¯s here. She was a girl. She came down the mountain so late and on New Year's Eve. Chen Jing, Wang Tan, Li and others all looked at her in surprise and asked her what was going on. "But who on the mountain is seriously ill?" Wang Tan asked worriedly. "Are you seriously ill? Does it matter?" Qingyun also spoke at the side. She and Wang Tan had the same understanding. When Mulan came down at this time, someone must be seriously ill on the mountain. Chen Jing took a few glances at Mulan. He wanted to get some clues, but Mulan over there smiled and said to everyone: "No. There was a big harvest in the mountains this year, so we gathered together to celebrate the New Year and everyone was lively. I told my father that I had never seen what it was like to celebrate the New Year down in the mountains. I wanted to come and have a look, so I came down the mountain. "I'm sorry." Li Shi smiled quickly, invited Mulan into the house, and said to her, "We don't have enough people in the house. Can you?" Come, of course it¡¯s the best.¡± After saying that, Li, Chen Jing, Wang Tan and others gave a look, telling them not to ask any more questions, and then invited Mulan to the central hall. It¡¯s the Chinese New Year, so maybe something happened that made Mulan come to the city. So, it¡¯s better not to cause any further trouble. If you have anything to do, we¡¯ll talk about it in a few days. Chen Jing and Wang Tan looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled, then followed the women into the central hall. In the evening, everyone kept vigil together. Chen Jing lit red lanterns in both the inner and outer courtyards. A few lantern riddles were also placed. The riddles are all made by Wang Tan and Chen Wengong, some are profound and some are simple and easy to understand. Chen Jing is the same as Li. Even though I am not a scholar, I can guess a few things that are easy to understand, but not the profound ones. After midnight, the vigil ended and everyone went to rest. Mulan followed Chen Jing and the others and rested in a small room in the back garden. Qingyun went back to the room and found two quilts. Holding it in his hand, he said to Chen Jing: "Master, my maid is going to sleep with Mulan tonight. She is scared to be alone." Chen Jing was in a good mood, so she joked with Qingyun: "What should I do? I'm scared too?" Qing Jun was overjoyed and knew that Chen Jing was not serious. He smiled and said, "How about my boss also go to the small wing and put a couch there, so the three of us can keep company?" Chen Jing tickled her waist. Qingyun was ticklish and ran away screaming, her laughter filling the room. After helping Mulan make the bed, Qingyun went back to sleep. "Hey, you can't bear to leave me?" Chen Jing was about to go to bed when he saw Qingyun coming in. It was funny, he joked with her. Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled softly. He took a soup pot from the bedside, filled Chen Jing with hot water, stuffed it into Chen Jing's quilt, and said, "My boss, it's cold under the quilt. You can go back to sleep later." Chen Jing nodded. "There is warm water in the kettle. If you are thirsty in the middle of the night, just twist the front of the bed and get up to drink water." Qingyun said again. She explained every detail to Chen Jing, looking very worried and nagging. Chen Jing quickly grabbed her hand and whispered: "Qingyun" Qingyun raised her eyes and stared at him with charming eyes. "I was joking just now." Chen Jing said, and then kissed her forehead gently, "Mulan just came to our house at night. She must have a lot to say to you. You go first, I'm going to bed soon, and I'll be back tomorrow morning I want to get up and say New Year greetings." Qingyun smiled slightly. She said nothing more and turned around and left. After she left, Chen Jing also went to bed. The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Qingyun came in very early and helped Chen Jing prepare hot water. She also found the clothes Chen Jing would wear for New Year greetings and put them on for him. After changing, she combed Chen Jing's hair. "What did Mulan say last night?" Chen Jing asked Qingyun while waiting for Qingyun to help him comb his hair. Qingyun looked at the yard to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then whispered: "Mulan said that if she wants to come to the city, even if she sells herself as a maid, she doesn't want to be in the mountains." "What?" Chen Jing asked. "Her mother has been gone for many years, and her father is still young and powerful. There is a young widow in the mountains. Her father wants to ask the widow to live in the Mu family. The Mulan siblings disagree and start a quarrel." Qingyun's voice was even lower. Chen Jing couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's like a child. Her father is getting married, and he still wants to ask her?" "My maid didn't say this, I just advised her that if she really wants to go down the mountain, come to our house." Qing Qing. Jundao. "Ah?" Chen Jing said, "You also talk to the child?"?'s. What can we do at our house? " "Be a maid. "Qingyun said to Chen Jing seriously, "Before the Chinese New Year, my wife said many times that the family wanted to buy a few more maids. Not for my wife¡¯s house, but for our house. " "You want Mulan to be a maid in our house? Chen Jing's voice asked, "Did you tell her this?" " "The servant said it. "Qingyun said. Her expression was a little calm, but she didn't give in. Chen Jing's meaning was obvious. He didn't want Mulan to be a maid in his house. After all, he had preconceived ideas and regarded Mulan as a friend. How can he be so easy to control? Hers? Qingyun wanted to keep Mulan, and even pretended to ignore Chen Jing's reluctance. "This is not possible. "Chen Jing said directly, "It's not suitable. You tell Mulan that it's okay to do it next door, but not in our yard. " Qingyun's hand combing her hair paused slightly. "My boss doesn't like her? Qingyun asked softly, a bit like a coquettish and cute person, "If she doesn't do well, my maid can teach her." " "No, it's just because I like her that I feel it's not suitable for her. Chen Jing said, "She is a friend of ours. It's not easy for me to boss her around, and she's afraid of being uncomfortable." Besides, she was used to being wild in the mountains, what would she do? She doesn't quite understand what it means to be a maid. When she actually does it, I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt. " Qingyun said oh, her eyes slightly dimmed. She probably wanted to keep Mulan. In this family, everyone is Qingyun's master. Even if it is the Li family, Qingyun respects her and does not dare to talk to her too much. . And Mulan is not the owner, and she is similar to Qingyun. Qingyun hopes that she can stay here. But this is not possible, and Li never refutes Chen Jing's words. Jun felt a little sour and felt a little uncomfortable. ¡°Our drug store is in need of a helper for the production of patent medicines. If she is transparent and can learn it, she can be kept in the back room. Become a pharmacy apprentice. "Chen Jing added. Qingyun's loss made Chen Jing unbearable. Mulan grew up in the mountains and was used to freedom. Let her be tied up and become a maid to serve others. Chen Jing felt that it might not be torture for her. But Qingyun doesn¡¯t understand, because she has been serving people since she was a child. She probably thinks that serving people is simple and the easiest. ¡°Really? "Qingyun suddenly opened her eyes wide. She looked at Chen Jing with surprise. In disbelief, she asked again, "My boss, are you kidding me? " "Don't be too happy. Chen Jing said, "I want to try her skills first." If she really doesn't have any talent at all and can't be a medicine boy, she won't be able to do it. " When it comes to pharmaceuticals, the secret recipe is often in the last process. " So. Pharmaceuticals can also be produced on an assembly line. The first few processes are operated by ordinary apprentices. Chen Jing only needs to keep the last process secret. After a while, Chen Jing came to Beijing. , It may not be difficult for Wei Shangxing to do it alone. It would be good if Mulan can help. Last time on the mountain, Chen Jing could see that Mulan is still a very clever girl. "Okay," Listen to your boss. "Qingyun smiled so hard that her eyes were crooked, and she started combing Chen Jing's hair seriously again. Chen Jing laughed and felt that Qingyun used to be very mature, reserved and respectful in front of him. Now, she is gradually becoming more lively and can communicate with her. Chen Jing acted coquettishly, even more like a little girl who didn't understand the world. After the two talked for a long time, Qingyun combed Mulan's hair and went out together. In the inner courtyard, I wish Li a happy new year. "Qingyun, I don't need you to serve me in the morning. You can take Mulan to the temple fair and buy whatever you want." "After New Year's greetings, Mrs. Li said to Qingyun. "When Mrs. Li goes out to pay New Year's greetings, she needs a maid to serve her. In the past, it was always Qingyun. This year, Mrs. Li does not plan to take Qingyun with her, but lets Qingyun have fun by herself. Qingyun quickly thanked Chen Jing and went out to pay New Year greetings. He first took Chen Wengong to the outer courtyard and said auspicious words to Wang Tan. The servant came in to inform Chen Jing. The New Year greeter: "This is the Shen family of Nanqiao Lane, the fourth young master of the Shen family. " "Shen Changyu? "Chen Jing was slightly surprised. In the first month of last year, Shen Changyu told Chen Jing that he was going to Qishan Academy and studied behind closed doors for three years. During these three years, he would not go down the mountain to prepare for the next spring. Even if he knew it, he would come to pay New Year's greetings. "Quick, please come in. "Chen Jing said. He quickly went to the door in person and invited Shen Changyu into the house. "Brother Changyu!" Chen Jing greeted him and invited him to sit down in the outer study with a smile on his face. After nearly a year of studying behind closed doors, Shen Changyu lost some weight and became paler. He looked even more graceful and elegant, making him a rare handsome man. Shen Changyu also met Chen Jing. "Didn't you say you won't go down the mountain for three years?" After a few words, Chen Jing changed the subject and asked directly, "Why are you coming back to celebrate the New Year?" But Shen Changyu first took out two letters. , handed it to Chen Jing, and said with a smile: "Your cousin gave this to you. It's inconvenient to send a letter to the mountain, so let me bring it to you personally." "Thank you." Chen Jing then pressed it under the tea cup and said Not ready to watch now. Shen Changyu then said to him: "Originally, I didn't plan to go down the mountain" Then, he sighed softly, "It's still because of Thirteenth Mother's matter. I warned her in every possible way, but my family still took my words seriously. It was ignored and the Thirteenth Mother was wronged. I had to go down the mountain temporarily and went back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. "Last year, Chen Jing also heard about the Thirteenth Mother's breakup. At that time, he met Thirteen Niang at the city gate. "Oh, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I'll see Brother Changyu off." Chen Jing said with a smile. He didn¡¯t answer Thirteen Niang¡¯s words. The thirteenth mother's breakup had nothing to do with Chen Jing, but Shen Changyu came over so early to pay New Year's greetings, which gave Chen Jing an ominous premonition, so she deliberately refused to answer. *(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!?¡
