Chapter 519 Go to the Jiangxiang Cake Shop
Wei Xing was indeed very surprised when he learned about this.
He didn't have a very good impression of the student Chen Ziming. Before, Chen Ziming wanted to recognize him as his teacher, but he refused.
Later, for some unknown reason, Chen Ziming dropped out of school. I heard that he went to Beijing.
He originally thought that Chen Ziming had gone to the capital to seek refuge with Prime Minister Chen. The quality of the academies in the capital was indeed good. If Chen Ziming studied hard in the capital, he might really be able to become a Jinshi.
However, when the results were announced this time, he did not hear that Chen Ziming was on the nomination list.
"Jianchuan, this Chen Ziming is not the son of Master Chen Er? What's his current situation? Why didn't he pass the imperial examination?"
Lu Jianchuan's eyes flickered as he explained, "Dean, Chen Ziming seems to have had some health problems, so he can't take the imperial examination."
"This time, he didn't fail. He didn't even take the test."
Wei Xing was even more surprised and asked curiously: "What happened? Is he disabled?"
In the Tianqi Kingdom's imperial examination, disabled people were not allowed to take part. Chen Ziming had studied for so many years, and if he had not been physically disabled, he would definitely not have failed to take the examination.
Wei Xing was very smart and guessed the answer right away.
Lu Jianchuan nodded slowly and whispered, "Dean, I heard that Chen Ziming can no longer be a man."
“Ah?!!!” Wei Xing was completely stunned.
Not being able to be a man means that Chen Ziming has lost that thing!
How could it be gone out of nowhere? Could it be that Chen Ziming did something bad and got cut off by someone? This is not impossible.
Lu Jianchuan added: "I heard in the capital that Prime Minister Chen had invited countless doctors, and finally had no choice but to invite the imperial physician, but none of them could cure him."
"It's gone there, so it definitely can't be cured!" Wei Xing couldn't help but shook his head without even thinking about it.
"He must have done something to deserve such revenge, but he really deserves it. People with such evil intentions should not be allowed to enter the officialdom."
Gu Yunxi heard this and suppressed her laughter, suddenly finding the dean very interesting.
For a guy like Chen Ziming, the retribution has not come fast enough. He was allowed to live happily for so long, but now, he has lost that thing and can no longer be a man.
Next, the Chen family's treatment of Chen Ziming would be a heavier blow, right? Gu Yunxi was very much looking forward to it and was ready to go to the Chen family to inquire about it.
After parting with the dean, Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan did not go back, but turned a corner and went to the Jiangxiang pancake shop in the town, intending to visit the He Lin couple.
"Hey? Young Master, Young Madam, why are you here?" He Lin quickly stood up and greeted them.
It was noon now, and many people had gone home to eat. There were not many people on the street, and few came to the shop to buy the sauce-flavored cakes. He Lin sat idly watching the shop, while his wife Lin was busy kneading dough.
Lin smiled and called out, "Master, Madam, you are here."
Gu Yunxi nodded slightly, found two chairs to sit on, and asked, "He Lin, how are the sales of our Jiangxiang cakes now?"
In fact, even without asking, Gu Yunxi knew that He Lin would proactively tell her the shop's profit every half month, and the account books would also be reported to her every half month.
Before coming to the shop, she also looked over the accounts carefully and found that they all matched. The profits were about the same as when she was managing the shop before.
He Lin smiled and replied, "Madam, don't think that there are not many people buying Jiangxiang cakes now. In fact, they sell very well during the morning hours!"
"It's only lunch time now, and many people have gone home to eat. Although this sauce-flavored pancake can fill your stomach, it will cost you a lot of money if you want to eat it full."
"According to my observation, more people buy it for breakfast now. By the way, many wealthy gentry in the town like to have their servants buy it for them!"
"They didn't know this was our Lu family's Jiangxiang Pancake Shop before. Later, when our young master passed the imperial examination, people gradually found out about it. Now the business of the shop is getting better and better..."
As Herlin spoke, he couldn't stop smiling, his eyes full of light.
If he and his wife work hard, the young lady will give them a bonus every month in addition to the monthly salary. How could he not work hard for such a good job?
After hearing what he said, Gu Yunxi felt completely relieved. Now that the sauce-flavored pancake shop was handed over to the He Lin couple to manage, she felt very relieved.
Besides, He Lin was a servant in the mansion and was a slave, so Gu Yunxi was not worried at all. After he learned the craft, he went out to sell sauce-flavored cakes on his own to earn money.
After coming out of the Jiangxiang Pancake Shop, seeing that it was still early, Gu Yunxi discussed with Lu Jianchuan, bought some gifts in the town, and drove the carriage to find Qiaozhen.
Qiaozhen's father-in-law was sitting under a big tree at the door. He saw a carriage rushing towards their house from a distance and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Zheng'er, Qiaozhen, come out and see if it's Mr. Lu and his wife who are here."
Qiaozhen was listening in the room, and hurriedly put on her clothes, came out of the room, and said, "Dad, we can't call him Lu Juren anymore, Yunxi's husband has already passed the imperial examination."
Lu Jianchuan has become a real official. People in the entire Jihu Town are talking about this matter, and so are the people in Fangjia Village.
Even those families with daughters began to inquire about Xijiang Village, hoping that their daughters would marry there, especially if they could have a distant relationship with Lu Jianchuan.
At this time, the carriage had arrived at the door, and the driver was Lu Jianchuan.
The carriage stopped and Gu Yunxi jumped off the carriage and waved to Qiaozhen: "Qiaozhen, I'm back!"
Qiaozhen's eyes were red. Yunxi hadn't changed, she was still the same as before. She had been worried for a long time, fearing that Yunxi would become an official's wife and no longer have any contact with her.
Now it seems that she was too suspicious.
Qiaozhen blinked quickly, smiled, took Gu Yunxi's arm, and called her and Lu Jianchuan to go into the house.
"Yunxi, why did you come here suddenly? You didn't tell me in advance. I didn't prepare anything and I don't have anything good to treat you..."
Gu Yunxi sat on a low stool in the Fang family's courtyard and said with a smile, "No, no, Ah Chuan and I are not other people, why are you being so polite to us?"
Lu Jianchuan gave all the gifts he brought in to Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng felt very embarrassed and took them to the kitchen with a red face.
Seeing this, Qiaozhen felt even more embarrassed and said angrily, "Yunxi, you are such a jerk. Every time I come here, I have to bring so many things and make you spend so much money. I am embarrassed."
Lu Jian sat next to Gu Yunxi. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Qiaozhen, Yunxi is right. You are being polite to us. You didn't come to our house empty-handed before."
"This is called reciprocity. It's a give and take, it's always like this."
Seeing that Lu Jianchuan was speaking sincerely and was not angry at all because of his wife spending money, Qiaozhen couldn't help but admire in her heart that Yunxi really found a man with a good character!
In comparison, the man next door is simply a piece of shit.
