Chapter 307 Pharmaceutical Factory The results of this provincial examination were very surprising, because Chen Yu and Chen Mo passed the exam to understand Yuan. Chen Jing was shocked. Chen Moren started studying late and had a hard time passing the college examination. Suddenly he got the first place in the entire Liangzhe Road Provincial Examination, which surprised everyone. "Chen Yu, Chen Mo, have you never heard of the talented people in Mingzhou, besides Shen Changyu, there is also Chen Mo?" "This is the first time I have heard of it. Unexpectedly, there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in Mingzhou." The most frightened person was actually It's Chen Qi himself. "Damn it, is the examiner blind this time?" Chen Qi didn't dare to act stupid in front of outsiders. When he was in front of Chen Jing, he was open and full of nonsense. "What the hell are you talking about!" Chen Jing scolded him, "Everyone is in their own eyes. Your article naturally has your strengths and just hits the examiner's liking. This is a great thing. You have become famous, even more famous than Shen Changyu. "Famous!" Chen Qi said with a sad face: "But forget it, I still don't know what I am capable of? If I fail the exam next spring, won't it be just as embarrassing? No, it will be even more embarrassing!" While praising Chen Qi, even the county magistrate invited him to drink. The magistrate of Mingzhou even sent someone to give Chen Qi a few silver crowns that had won the first prize, a total of eighty taels. The prefect gave him a lot of money and face. Everyone respected Chen Qi, and Chen Qi felt uncomfortable in his bones. Chen Qi has been living in the world since he was a child, and he is disgusted by others. Suddenly he becomes the one that everyone praises. He really can't stand it! "No hope!" Chen Jing slapped him hard twice on the back, and Chen Qi grinned in pain, "Okay, show off your Jieyuan momentum! Be generous and generous, like a gentleman!" In this way, Chen Qi still avoided seeing anyone. Jingzhong Lane is extremely lively. Especially Chen Qi¡¯s father. His eyes almost made him laugh, and he set up a flowing banquet for half a month and invited all the folks from Lookout County to have a drink. Chen Qi¡¯s second brother¡¯s eyes were red with jealousy. However, Chen Er is smart and already knows that he cannot defeat Chen Qi. Only to please him. "It's a pity that Chen Qi doesn't buy it anymore and ignores Chen Er. Wangxian County has a Jieyuan, and it is Chen Qi. He is usually worse than many people. The scholars in Wangxian County feel that they are not only honored, but also very confident. "Everyone in the late Chen Dynasty can pass the Jieyuan exam, so the provincial exam is not that difficult," they all said in private. Chen Qi couldn¡¯t hear it and wasn¡¯t there. He hid. "However, as spring was approaching, he hid away to study. This was his modesty. Others did not dare to criticize him, but instead praised him. "How is Huang Lanqing?" Chen Qi would also ask. ¡°There were fifteen students from Wangxian County who participated in this provincial examination, and only three of them passed, and most of them failed. Huang Lanqing and Shen Changyu¡¯s younger brother Shen Changqing both failed. Li Balang is on the list. It's a pity that the ranking is not high and is not favored. However, he is not from Wang County. It was Yao Jiang's selection. This time Yaojiang County was even worse. Li Balang was the only one to be elected. Although Li Balang is not ranked high, he is also famous in Yaojiang County. "Lan Qing will take the exam next time." Chen Jing said, "He has already won the title of scholar, which is good." Chen Qi nodded. The governors of Wang County are planning to go to Beijing together to attend the Spring Festival in February tomorrow. Chen Qi will not go with the other two people. Shen Changyu came to Chen Jing's house and discussed with Li Balang and Chen Qi about going to Beijing. The three of them went together. "Leaving on September 18th. How about it?" Shen Changyu asked Li Balang and Chen Qi, "I'm going to Beijing in the twelfth lunar month. I'm familiar with the environment and adapt to the climate. I'll study for another month so I can go to the examination room. If I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid of being delayed. "Let's go on September 18th," Li Balang said. Chen Qi has no objection. In the past, when Chen Qi was studying, it was Chen Jing who supported his tuition. Because Chen Jing gave him shares in the drug store, Chen Jing still gave him one thousand taels of silver this time when Chen Qi went to Beijing. Chen Qi did not refuse and accepted. ¡°If you really get the Jinshi exam, you will have to spend money to become your mentor and continue your classmates. If you don¡¯t have money, you can¡¯t get anything. If Chen Qi fails to pass the Jinshi examination, he will not return to Wang County. It would be too embarrassing. Living in Beijing also requires money, so Chen Qi was not polite to Chen Jing. "Bago, when you arrive in Beijing, go and see Yang Guolao first. He will arrange for you to stay. If it is really inconvenient, you can also go to Jiang Chongyan. He bought a house in Beijing." Chen Jing told Li Balang. Li Balang nodded: "Okay, I'll note it down." They set off on September 18th, and Chen Jing and Li Shi?Send Li Balang away, and also send Chen Qi away. There was a huge momentum over there in Jingzhong Lane. More than a dozen uncles and brothers came to see Chen Qi off one after another. "Grandma, do you want to go to the funeral?" Chen Qi scolded. Chen Jing kicked him secretly. This time Chen Qi made progress, and the county magistrate rewarded him with money. His uncle He's family even gave him three thousand taels. Chen Jing gave him another one thousand taels. Chen Qi set off with a huge sum of money. On Shen Changyu¡¯s side, there were also many people seeing him off. Li Balang seemed more deserted. Apart from Chen Jing and Li, Cai Shuxian and Li Dalang came. After they left, Chen Jing wrote two letters to the capital, one to Yang Zhizhou and one to the Fifth Lieutenant of Prince Zheng's Mansion, asking his brother-in-law to take care of Chen Qi and Li Balang. "Write a letter to the princess?" Xiwen asked Chen Jing quietly. Chen Jing smiled and said, "No, Princess Jiahe's letter was written a few days ago." Chen Jing has been back to Wang County for more than half a year, and he receives a letter from Princess Jiahe almost every month. In addition to letters, there are also clothes, shoes, socks, etc. Princess Jiahe made all Chen Jing's clothes for the four seasons with her own hands and sent them to Chen Jing. Chen Jing stopped wearing the clothes he bought and only wore clothes made by Princess Jiahe. "Is the medicine store busy recently?" Xiwen asked Chen Jing softly. Chen Jing¡¯s patent medicine manufacturing factory has been opened. The initial investment was huge and Chen Jing took care of it personally. His patent medicine factory followed the assembly line production method of later generations. Everyone made the same thing. Even if he placed the prescription next to the apprentices, they would not understand it. This is a bit shocking, but Chen Jing is very confident in it. "Busy." Chen Jing said, "I've just started, so I have to be busy for a while." Xiwen paused. Although Xiwen lives in the Chen family, he still takes time to meet Wan Niang. Xiwen listened to what Wan Niang said. Chen Jing opened a pharmaceutical factory, and there were a lot of rumors. This incident also spread to Hangzhou, and everyone in the Qin family of Zongdetang laughed to death. "Chen Yang and that guy. They made a little money last year, but they don't know how to settle down. They have to lose everything! What kind of pharmaceutical factory is this ridiculous!" "Isn't that right? He will either leak the secret formula and his medicine will become It's meaningless; or the patent medicine produced is nondescript. He really didn't expect that Chen Yangji would be so stupid." People said these things everywhere. Li and Qingyun also heard about it. However, they did not dissuade Chen Jing, probably because they felt that Chen Jing had money. No matter how much he spends it, it's all his own, so forget it if he loses. Anyway, he was poor before and was used to living in poverty. Chen Jing will be busy throughout the second half of the year. His patent medicines began to be distributed to more than 20 drug stores that had signed contracts with Yuhetang. "Dr. Chen, I heard someone say that your patent medicine is not made by yourself, but by some servants who have never written medicine. Is this medicine useful?" Those drug stores began to worry. "This medicine is 30% cheaper than before," Chen Jing said. Because it¡¯s so cheap, those pharmacies don¡¯t have their own medicines. I had to sell it. Unexpectedly, the efficacy of those patent medicines did not have much impact. On the contrary, it is because the cost is reduced. The drug store was very profitable and gradually became more and more popular. By March of the following year, the number of drugstores Chen Jing cooperated with had grown from the original twenty to fifty, and the number continued to grow. "How is this possible?" The pharmacies that manufacture patent medicines in Jiangnan panicked, "Chen Yangji's pharmaceutical factory not only costs less than us, but also has cheaper prices than us. There are many types. Is he trying to force us to death?! "That's right. It's against the rules for Chen Yangji to do this. If you don't show his strength, how can we eat in the future?" So, someone secretly planned to deal with Chen Jing. Of course Chen Jing also knows. His thoughts were not on these things. In recent days, he has been paying attention to the release of the results in the Spring Festival in Beijing. On the fifth day of March, the news finally came back. Chen Yu and Chen Moren won the third prize in the exam! Li Balang was mediocre, and he also won the Jinshi. He ranked 30th on the second list, neither better nor worse. Shen Changyu may have had bad luck and failed the exam. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Mrs. Li was shocked, "A person like me can actually win the third prize! There is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves in Jingzhong Lane!" Mrs. Li felt convinced when others won the third prize, Only Chen Moren said: "Luck has come, and I can't stop it!" Qingyun also sighed. The two of them still didn't have a good impression of Chen Qi. Chen Jing smiled. However, Qingyun said that Chen Qi was lucky, and Chen Jing also believed it. In this era, the scientific examination brought a lot of luck, so there is a saying in later generations that success in the imperial examination is "one fate, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five study". This is true. When it comes to knowledge, Shen Changyu is far superior to Li Balang, let alone Chen Qi. As a result, both Li Balang and Chen Qi won the Jinshi, but Shen Changyu failed. It was fate. Xiwen was beside him, smiling silently, serving tea and water. Possibly due to her status, Xiwen was particularly nervous every time she was in front of Mr. Li, fearing that Ms. Li would not like her and drive her away, so she was very attentive. Li Balang and Chen Qi both passed the exam, so Chen Jing had nothing to worry about and took Xiwen and Qingyun back to the backyard. The next day, Chen Jing was going to his workshop as usual to see the patent medicine factory, but he received a letter from Beijing. Chen Jing thought it was sent to him by Princess Jiahe, so he didn't read it immediately when he took it over, but put it down casually. It was during the lunch break that he opened the letter. The handwriting on the envelope is very unfamiliar. It's not Princess Jiahe's handwriting, nor is it Yang Zhizhou's handwriting. Chen Jing was suspicious and opened the letter. There are a total of two pages of letter paper. After unfolding it, Chen Jing first sighed at the good calligraphy. The lines of each word are concise, natural and broad, simple, majestic and majestic, like it was written by a man with great ambitions. Chen Jing couldn¡¯t guess who it was, so she had to read the letter patiently. After reading a few lines, the more he read, the more something seemed wrong. Chen Jing immediately turned to the last page and was slightly stunned when he saw the signature. ***(To be continued) ps: I will finish the book tomorrow. I am sorry that the ending was so rough. I am sorry to everyone who has high expectations for me. I am sorry! ! I will work hard on my next book, at least not to make such a mistake.
