Chapter 219 Working for the Rise of Yinshan County
Due to the heavy rain this year, the palace examination was postponed for a month. In the next few days, the only tribute student from Yinshan County should arrive in the capital to take part in the palace examination.
If he could pass the exam this time, she could rest assured.
The position of Yinshan County Magistrate can also be successfully transferred, and 'Yu Wushuang' can truly rest in peace.
"Brother, you must protect us from your spirit in heaven!" Yu Jiuer prayed silently in her heart.
The tribute student this time was Zhang Yutang, the son of Zhang Da from Yinshan Winery, and also Zhang Qiaoer's biological brother.
Zhang Da was the richest businessman in Yinshan County before she traveled through time. At that time, apart from the Yu family, his was the only family in the county that could afford to support his children's education.
Later, Yu Jiuer invited Confucian scholars and others to be teachers. Zhang Yutang received a more formal and systematic education and made great progress in his studies.
I just wonder if he, who is only devoted to reading books of sages, will take over the family wine-making business?
She really wanted to open a big winery in the capital and beat all the wines in the capital!
This will satisfy most men who like to drink!
However, although she was good at purifying and blending liquor, she had no idea about the most basic wine-making process and had never practiced it, so she couldn't do it!
On this day, Yu Jiuer, who was bored at home, received news that Zhang Yutang, a student from Yinshan County who was taking the imperial examination, had finally arrived in the capital.
Yu Jiuer and Yu Tao quickly set up a banquet at the Sunset Restaurant.
Thinking back to when she came to the capital to take the imperial examination, she didn't even dare to enter the door of the Sunset Restaurant. This time, she held a banquet here to welcome him, so that he can study with peace of mind. He will definitely pass the exam.
Not long after, Shadow led Zhang Yutang into a private room. Besides his servant, there was also Zhang Qiaoer dressed as a man?
Yu Tao jumped up in fright and quickly closed the door of the private room, saying fearfully: "Zhang Qiao'er, you are too brave, aren't you? How dare you..."
Zhang Qiaoer pouted and said, "Didn't Miss Nine come out like this back then? Why can't I do the same?"
"How can it be the same? Miss Nine was forced to do this, why did you do this?" Yu Tao's head ached violently, "You are not still thinking about Deputy General Wei and chasing him to the capital, are you?"
"Who cares? Those who left me, yesterday's day cannot be kept; those who disturbed my heart, today's day is full of worries. There are so many things that can be done in the world, and I, Zhang Qiaoer, disdain to want the love that does not belong to me!"
"Well said!" Yu Jiuer stood up happily, quickly pulled Zhang Qiaoer over to sit next to her, and diligently poured her tea.
Zhang Qiaoer was frightened by Yu Jiuer's actions. She asked fearfully, "Miss Jiu, you don't want to take me back to Yinshan County, do you?"
"How can that be possible?"
"Then why are you smiling so strangely? It makes me uneasy!" Zhang Qiaoer moved her butt away, as far away from Yu Jiuer as possible, and did not dare to take the tea that Yu Jiuer handed over.
Yu Jiuer put away her evil smile and asked her, "Tell me why you came to the capital first?"
Zhang Qiao'er answered perfectly: "How could I let my brother come to the capital alone to take the exam? Of course I came to take care of him!"
"Have you registered with the prefect of Liangzhou Prefecture?" Yu Jiuer asked again.
Zhang Qiaoer nodded and said, "It's registered. The current prefect is Prince Jing's man. The county magistrate helped to say a few words and it was approved!"
"Second Uncle actually agreed to let you come? Tell me! What do you want to do?"
Although she was worried that no one would make wine for her, Zhang Qiaoer's arrival just solved her urgent problem, and she had to ask clearly before making any decision.
Zhang Qiaoer said shyly: "I also want to be like you and contribute to Yinshan County. I don't ask to be as powerful as you, as long as I can do something for the people in the county, I will be satisfied!
Besides, the county magistrate and Lord Li Yun said that you are alone in the capital and it is too hard! Let me come and see if there is anything I can do to help!"
"Second Uncle and Li Yunzhen understand me. You came at the right time!" Yu Jiuer smiled happily and told her about her plan to open a winery in the capital.
Zhang Qiaoer immediately patted her chest excitedly and assured: "Ninth Miss, don't worry! I have been hanging around in wine shops since I was a child. I know how to make wine with my eyes closed!"
Yu Tao covered her mouth and teased her, "You are also an expert at drinking. I'm afraid there are few people in this world who can drink more than you!"
"Great! I heard that you and Deputy General Wei have already gotten married, so you become proud and start making fun of me? Are you still remembering the day when I drank with Lord Wei at Fengle Restaurant?" Zhang Qiaoer and Yutao started playing around.
"I'm not that stingy! He can drink with whoever he wants!" Yu Tao blushed and asked, "Who is so big-mouthed that I told you the news here just after you arrived?"
"Shadow! We met outside the city, and as soon as we met, he warned me not to bother Wei Zheng anymore!" Zhang Qiao'er said angrily.
"Tell me, after Wei Zheng rejected me that day, did I stop pestering him? There is more to life than love. There are many more meaningful things than love. My brain wasn't squeezed by the door, so why would I be so depressed?"
"Qiao'er is right! Love is not the only choice in life! We are both the most humble women of this era. Only by constantly striving for self-improvement can we avoid being looked down upon!" Yu Jiuer raised her glass and said to the others,
"I wish that we Yinshan people can make a name for ourselves in the capital!"
The joy of reunion instantly wiped out the previous barriers, and what remained was the intimacy and happiness of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land".
Next, Yu Jiuer began to discuss the details of the winery construction with Zhang Qiaoer. As they were talking, Zhang Yutang stood up and said politely: "You guys chat first, I'll go find an inn to stay and review my lessons!"
Only then did Yu Jiuer realize that the hero of Yinshan County had been ignored by them.
She stood up and apologized with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm so sorry! This was supposed to be a banquet to welcome you, but it was ruined by a few girls like us!"
"It's okay! What you are talking about is also a big deal! It's no easier than the imperial examination!" Zhang Yutang said seriously, "If it weren't for the imperial examination, I would really like to create achievements with you and work hard to revitalize Yinshan County!"
"You have great ambition! But your current mission is the palace examination. You also know the situation in our county. This is related to the fate of our entire Yinshan County. Come on!" Yu Jiuer said after giving encouragement.
"By the way, you don't have to find a place to stay. Deputy General Wei owns a restaurant, and Yutao has already arranged a room for you there. It's very quiet, and it's convenient for you to review your lessons!"
"In that case, thank you, Mrs. Wei!" Zhang Yutang bowed politely.
Yu Tao blushed at the name Madam Wei. She whispered, "From now on, just call me Sister Yu Tao! In the capital, Madam Wei is the name for General Wei's principal wife!"
Zhang Qiaoer asked with a smile: "Then you should be Madam Wei, right? I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to the position of Madam Wei in General Wei's mansion yet!"
"What is there to congratulate? His family doesn't agree. We are just acting without first consulting them later!" Yutao felt a little embarrassed when she talked about this.
Yu Jiuer explained it to her, and Zhang Qiaoer was so angry that she slammed her palm on the table and stood up for Yu Tao on the spot: "Why do you look down on us Yinshan people? He is Wei Zhengyi, nine years older than our Yu Tao. He is getting something for nothing!"
"Alright, alright! It's not worth getting angry. When our Yinshan County stands out in the eyes of the world, I will ask them to come and ask Yu Tao to come in!" Yu Jiuer said and quickly called Shadow.
"Take Master Zhang to Wei Zheng's Dongsheng Restaurant first! We girls have something else to discuss, so we'll go over later!"
Zhang Yutang suddenly remembered to ask when he reached the door: "Doesn't Deputy General Wei's Dongsheng Restaurant have food and wine? Why did you go so far away and have a drink here?"
Yu Tao covered her mouth and laughed, "Because our Ninth Miss has a knot in her heart. When she came to take the imperial examination, she saw a dog in front of the Sunset Restaurant eating better than her. She couldn't get over it and had to treat you to a banquet here!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Who can't get through? I just want to treat the most outstanding students from Yinshan to a meal in the most prosperous restaurant in the capital!" After Yu Jiuer finished speaking, she still muttered in her heart: So that others won't be like me back then, reading books with a lot of grievances in my heart!
Zhang Yutang immediately said, "The most powerful student in Yinshan is Miss Nine!"
"Why bother with the past? Now I'm rich and just want to make money!" Yu Jiuer waved her hand.
"You have done everything for the people of Yinshan, for us. You have always been our pride and role model! In the future, Deputy General Wei's Dongsheng Restaurant will surely defeat the Sunset Restaurant and become the most prosperous restaurant in the capital!"
After Zhang Yutang said this, he bowed respectfully to Yu Jiuer, then left with Anying.
"Yutao, see? The revitalization of Dongsheng Restaurant depends on you!" Yu Jiuer took the opportunity to make a request.
Yu Tao said coquettishly, "How can you rely on me for everything? If it weren't for the health package you proposed, Wei Zheng's Dongsheng Restaurant would have been losing a lot of money!"
"It doesn't matter. With my participation in the future, we will definitely be able to make it the most powerful restaurant in the capital and defeat this Sunset Restaurant! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
The three women, unwilling to be abandoned by the world, were full of fighting spirit. They talked carefully about the construction of the winery and worked hard for the rise of Yinshan County!
