The domestic guard is a little sweet

This complete collection of test questions has been circulated among many candidates, and has attracted a lot of attention. Asparagus Bookstore has been updating it five or six times, and the crowd in line has eased.

All the businessmen in the city saw business opportunities, and some wandering businessmen would buy some complete collections of test questions, double or triple the price, and sell them to those non-local scholars, which was more than enough.

Even though this set of test questions only sells for 300 taels, the income is quite a lot. The daily income of Asparagus Bookstore is more than 30 taels of silver.

Zhao Jin specially raised the monthly allowance for Lu Qingshan and Mr. Zheng.

Lu Qingshan lives in the backyard of the bookstore, the books in the store can be browsed at will, and with the blessing of the test questions, his knowledge has also improved a lot.

During the day, he helped Mr. Zheng manage the store, and at night he turned on the lights and studied hard, preparing to take the exam this year.

After soaking his feet in hot water at night, Zhao Jin leaned in his supreme pool, a small bottle of peach blossom wine and two wine cups were placed on the floating tray in front of him.

Zhao Jin lowered his head and took a sip of the slightly pink peach blossom wine, squinting his eyes comfortably, humming a little song.

Dark Twelve, dressed in a black silk robe, with loose black hair, walked slowly to the edge of the pool.

"Come down." Hearing footsteps behind him, Zhao Jin shook his wrist, poured another glass of peach blossom wine and drank it full.

"Yes."

An Shiba came to the edge of the pool barefoot, and his black clothes fell to the ground. The water waves in the pool slowly rippled, forming circles of ripples. The man held the floating tray in front of him.

"The imperial doctor told me that the master can't drink too much alcohol. After drinking this glass, how about another drink tomorrow?"

Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows, and reached out to grab the wine bottle on the tray, but he was no match for Dark Twelve.

An Twelve lightly changed hands and snatched the bottle lightly.Putting it in the tray, Zhao Jincheng glared at him angrily, the beautiful phoenix eyes are too beautiful to behold.

With such a beautiful scenery right in front of his eyes, the man was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly stepped forward, clasped the back of An Twelve's head with one hand, and passed the peach blossom wine in his mouth to the other party. The fragrance of peach blossom exploded in his mouth, and An Twelve was at a loss for an instant.

Zhao Jin laughed loudly, quickly put the wine bottle between his lips, raised his head and took a big sip, feeling very comfortable.

"Why, do you want to be the king's housekeeper?"

"Don't dare." An Twelve was a little shy for a moment, his ears were reddish, and he reached out to grab the wine bottle in his hand. "The subordinate offended."

It's not so much a snatch as a game.

Dark Twelve released water and Zhao Jin was playing tricks, the wine bottle really couldn't hide for a while, but in the warm pool water, Zhao Jin's strength had already evaporated after soaking for a while, and the bottle was about to be snatched Let's go, he looked at An Twelve's reddish ears, smiled wickedly, deliberately threw the bottle aside, and flew towards An Twelve.

Dark Twelve has been practicing martial arts all year round, he walks on the tip of a knife, and his reaction is extremely fast.

He raised his arm to catch Zhao Jin, and let the wine bottle fall into the pool with a thud, splashing the fragrance of peach blossoms all over the room.

Zhao Jin grinningly climbed onto An Shier's shoulders, kissed those cold thin lips, with the tip of his tongue light and protruding.

Both have a faint taste of peach blossom wine in their mouths, slightly sour and sweet, making people want to taste it again and again.

Zhao Jin's twinkling phoenix eyes, autumn water as a god, and jade as a bone, seem to be the essence of peach blossom dyed with the most extreme spring color, making people drunk without drinking.

The candlelight is flickering, and the faint ambergris is shrouded in the dense mist.

"pain?"

"... "

"No pain?"

"... "

"Comfortable?"

"... "

Dark Twelve couldn't take it anymore, and blocked his master's mouth.

Little by little broken murmurs, water waves beating, and the voices of the pool echoed each other.

No one in the palace dared to approach the prince's bathroom, but that night the prince's main courtyard called Jiang Tang.

In the middle of the night, being dug out from the warm bed, the eunuch in charge of the kitchen was boiling ginger soup, and couldn't help but mutter in his mouth: "Master, why do you drink ginger soup all the time recently? How do these slaves serve you? ? It can make the master catch a cold while bathing."

Aunt Wang, who was cooking shredded chicken porridge next to her, rolled her eyes greatly, and the iron spoon knocked on the side of the pot with a loud thud.

"What do you know, old eunuch? Hurry up and boil your ginger soup, and talk carefully so that the prince can hear it. You will feel better."

Since the last time they were serving porridge outside the city, the two of them also counted.There is a bit of friendship, and in the back kitchen on weekdays, those who don't look up and look down can't help but say a few words and spend a lot of time.

And this ginger soup and shredded chicken are sent to the bamboo courtyard, and they will not control whoever eats it.

It's just that it took two quarters of an hour for the things to be delivered, and the lights were turned off in the hospital.

On the second day, Sun He had two dark circles under his eyes.When the back kitchen brought the master breakfast, no matter what the eunuch in charge asked, he didn't know what to ask, and ran away with the food box.

The bookstore's business is in full swing, and Zhao Jin has also made up his mind about Buzhuang.

A notice was posted outside Jinxiu Cloth Village, and a ready-to-wear and embroidery competition was held. Everyone can participate in the competition. It is divided into three parts: audition, promotion, and finals. All capital embroiderers can participate.

And Jinxiu Cloth Village set up 10 awards, among which one first prize will reward 200 taels of silver, two second prizes will reward 2 taels of white, 100 third prizes will reward 5 taels of silver, 30 excellent prizes will reward 10 taels of silver. Two, all candidates who come to the audition will get a purse as a souvenir.

As soon as this announcement comes out, everyone can see that after passing the audition, you can get a pocket for nothing. If you are lucky and get the ranking, you can get so much money.

Those big girls and young daughter-in-laws in the Beijing family can embroider, and those with exquisite craftsmanship have shown their housekeeping skills and selected their most satisfactory embroidery for the competition.

And the daughters of the wealthy families in the capital all claim to be ladies, proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and embroidery, of course, are also quite accomplished. Take the show to compete for yourself.

Jinxiu Cloth Village will invite the master embroidery masters from the needlework room in the palace to serve as judges to judge the winners.

Before the match was decided, Zhao Jin immediately reformed Buzhuang Hengdao, and those tailors who only worked hard were driven away by Zhao Jin.

Another three top masters were invited to sit in the cloth shop, and the clothes they cut out were novel and beautiful, and they were well-known.

During the audition period, Zhao Jin will invite exquisite painters to hand-paint each of the participating embroidery and ready-made garments, and paste them on the bulletin board outside the door for everyone to watch and vote.

During this period, all products in the store are discounted by 88%, and everyone who goes to Jinxiu Pavement for consumption can get a chance to draw/lucky, and Jinxiu Cloth will draw a prize every 10 days.

The first prize is free of charge, the second prize is one silk garment, and the third prize is three pieces of cotton cloth.

And this time, the prizes won't end until after the embroidery competition is over.

In order to stir up the atmosphere, Zhao Jin specially invited several skilled embroiderers in the mansion to present their exquisite works.

All of a sudden, the Jinxiu cloth village competition became famous in the streets and alleys.

Whether you are watching the excitement or want to participate, you all want to come to Jinxiu Cloth Shop to see the excitement and hang out, and those with ample money will also buy some favorite fabrics and ready-to-wear, and also want to win a chance for a lucky draw.

As for the snacks and tea needed during the competition, Zhao Jin’s business was soliciting foreign investment, so that those well-known typical teahouses with no beards in Beijing would sponsor them and put their signature names on it, which is also a kind of publicity.

The ancient people who had not undergone marketing, after being punched by Zhao Jin's set of punches, were instantly a little confused and excited.

People's lack of spiritual life these days is nothing more than gossip from their parents. Now that there are such strange and interesting things in the shops in the capital, it is natural that their reputation is getting wider and wider.

Zhao Jin listened happily to Wu Shun, reported the things in Bu Zhuang, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It was agreed before that those master embroidery masters will give you enough face by placing greeting cards and gifts in advance. And those works that participate in the competition must also be carefully screened. Don't give preferential treatment to whoever is the lady of a certain family, but according to the outstanding ones. At that time, the people in Beijing will gather together to prevent pickpockets and stampedes, and the king will dispatch fifty guards from the mansion to you, so there must be no mistakes."

"Yes, the servant must do his best." Wu Shun left spiritually.

Zhao Jin is sitting in the study at the moment, copying scriptures bitterly.

The Longevity Day of his cheap elder brother will soon be here, so he, as a biological younger brother, naturally has to give a gift.

In addition to the ordinary precious antique jade, Zhao Jin specially copied 66 volumes of Buddhist scriptures to show his sincerity.

These days, the Jinxiu cloth village competition was in full swing, and it was widely spread among the women's circle. Even the Queen Mother Dong in the palace specially ordered Zhao Jin to enter the palace to have a meal together.

Eight-treasure old duck soup, Wanfu meat, steamed sea bass, roasted deer tendon, three shredded cold salad, yellow pea, pearl rice, and a cage of pocket-sized milk cakes. Most of them are Zhao Jin's favorite meat dishes.

Zhao Jin acted coquettishly and well-behaved, and played well in front of Empress Dowager Dong. This is his grandparent in history, and he doesn't have any shame.

Empress Dowager Dong was even amused by her son, and Nanny Zhong, who was close to her, looked at Empress Dowager Dong's eyes, made a bowl of old duck soup for Zhao Jin, and steamed sea bass with chopsticks, and then retreated behind her.

The craftsmanship of the royal chef, whether it is materials or craftsmanship, is top-notch.

Naturally, Zhao Jin had nothing he didn't like. He picked up the small bowl and took a big sip of it. His brows and eyes narrowed, and he started blowing rainbow farts.

"The queen mother is still considerate, and specially stewed the old duck soup for the son. The son must drink two more bowls today."

As soon as her son knew her own heart, Empress Dowager Dong was naturally happy in her heart, and with a face full of love, she pointed to the roasted deer tendon and said, "Try that roasted deer tendon, it was your favorite food when you were young. Later, I was afraid that you would get angry and hurt your body, and you would not be allowed to eat, and you would still cry."

In the memory of the original owner, Zhao Jin could only laugh a few times and ate two pieces of deer tendon.

After a while, Empress Dowager Dong finished her meal, put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Zhao Jin with a smile on her face and asked casually: "Jin'er, I heard that there was a garment embroidery competition in your pavement, and it was very lively. "
