Chu Qingning likely knew the reason already and said, “Let me take your pulse before saying anything.”
Xu Xiqin hurriedly stretched out her wrist, then looked somewhat anxiously at Chu Qingning.
“It’s alright, don’t worry.” Chu Qingning placed her fingers on Xu Xiqin’s wrist, carefully took her pulse, and said, “There’s no serious issue. I’ll prescribe you ’ some medicine. Drink it for three days, and you’ll be better by next month.” Xu Xiqin happily said, “Thankyou, Sister Qingning.”
Qingning!” The voice of Jiang Zhaoyong came in, causing Chu Qingning to smile involuntarily. She quickly walked out while responding, “I’m here.” Jiang Zhaoyong was waiting at the entrance of the medicinal herb shop. He was tall and lean, wearing a black robe with gold thread edges, exuding a narcissistic personality. With his handsome features and extraordinary presence, he was very attractive to young girls.
Chu Qingning approached Jiang Zhaoyong, “Why are you here suddenly?”
Jiang Zhaoyong looked directly at Chu Qingning, “I’m going to the capital city, just wanted to tell you.”
Chu Qingning was puzzled, “Why are you suddenly going to the capital city?” Jiang Zhaoyong, with mixed feelings, said, “I took two exams a few days ago, one on scholarship and the other on guqin skills. I passed both, and the emperor has summoned me to return to the capital immediately. The dean said the emperor might have some tasks for me.”
Chu Qingning looked reluctantly at him, “What tasks would the emperor have for you? Will you come back?”
“I’m not sure,” Jiang Zhaoyong was uncertain, “No matter what task I’m assigned, I’ll come to see you before I leave. If that’s not possible, I’ll send you a letter.”
“Wait a moment.” Chu Qingning pulled Jiang Zhaoyong back into the house and took out a box from her room, “This is a life-saving pill given to me by my fifth sister, along with many wound medicines. Take them with you just in case.”
Jiang Zhaoyong took the box with one hand and embraced Chu Qingning with the other, “Qingning, take care of yourself. I’ll come back to find you as soon as I can.”
Chu Qingning’s eyes reddened, “Mhm.”
Chu Qingshuang returned home with a happy face and immediately went to find Chu Qingzhi, “Fifth sister, I have good news.”
Chu Qingzhi was designing new products. With the New Year approaching, she planned to launch some seasonal items to promote their family’s products.
After hearing Chu Qingshuang’s words, she asked, “What’s the good news?” Chu Qingshuang took out a banknote, glowing with excitement, “Fifth sister, this is the dividend from selling the porcelain. Impressive, right?”
Chu Qingzhi smiled, “More and more impressive.”
Chu Qingshuang handed the money to Chu Qingzhi, “Fifth sister, without you, I wouldn’t even know what I’d be doing now. So, I want to give this money to you as a way to thank you.”
Chu Qingzhi pushed Chu Qingshuang’s hand back, “Keep the money yourself. There are many ways to thank me. If you really want to thank me, how about you cook dinner for me today?”
111 get started right away.” Chu Qingshuang stuffed the money into Chu Qingzhi’s hand and then hurried off.
Chu Qingzhi looked down at the banknote in her hand, smiled, and thought the young girl was quite grateful. It wasn’t a waste of her affection.
She stood up and went to Chu Qingshuang’s room, putting the banknote under her pillow as savings for her dowry.
In the workshop area, all food products that could change packaging had been repackaged. Shen Ruyue had to deal with a lot of feedback letters every day.
Today, she received ten more letters, each stating that after changing the packaging, the products became more popular, especially as gifts, due to the exquisite packaging which added prestige.
After reading the letters, Shen Ruyue was finally relieved.
Xu Songnian glanced at the letters. He had learned most of the characters and could read a letter without much problem, “Big sister-in-law, the delivery of packaging boxes has arrived. They’re asking for you to receive it.”
Shen Ruyue nodded, “Come with me. You’ll handle the receiving, and I’ll oversee.”
Xu Songnian became nervous, “Big sister-in-law, I’m not yet skilled.”
Shen Ruyue patted Xu Songnian’s shoulder, encouragingly saying, “I believe in you.”
Xu Songnian took a deep breath, “Then I’ll give it a try. Big sister-in-law, if I make a mistake, please remind me immediately.”
Shen Ruyue reassured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll be right beside you.”
The two, along with Xu Wenlin, went out to the front door.
Shen Ruyue handed the receiving form to Xu Songnian. It was a form to fill out during the receiving process, to be compared with the planned delivery list. If there were no discrepancies, the form would be handed over to the other party as a receipt to acknowledge the goods.
Xu Songnian was very nervous during the receiving process, sweating profusely.
The delivery was for small cake boxes, totaling one thousand, a significant amount requiring weighing. Before the weighing, a random inspection of the boxes was necessary to prevent any defective ones from being mixed in.
Random inspections were required for a certain quantity, e.g., thirty inspections for one thousand boxes, taken from different positions.
If any defective products were found, there were two options: either receive each item individually, which could delay the delivery time, or negotiate compensation. All these were regulated.
Xu Songnian was highly focused, recalling the steps for receiving goods, his palms sweaty…
The goods from their own people wouldn’t be defective, so the receiving went smoothly.
Xu Songnian looked at Shen Ruyue, then signed the receiving form and handed it to Chu Feng, “Brother Chu Feng, the receiving form.”
Chu Feng checked the form, finding no issues, and praised, “You did well, learning to receive goods.”
Xu Songnian finally relaxed and smiled, “Thanks to the big sister-in-law’s teaching.”
Chu Feng encouraged, “Keep it up. Let’s go.”
“Take care.”
Watching Chu Feng and others leave, Xu Songnian turned to Shen Ruyue, smiling broadly, “Big sister-in-law, I’ve learned it.”
Shen Ruyue nodded with a smile, “Practice more in the future.”
Xu Songnian happily agreed, “Mhm.”
After dinner, Chu Qingzhi called Hong Yujun, “Yujun, come here for a moment.”
Coming.” The second batch of yellow rice wine and grape wine were ready to be brewed, just in these two days, at a critical time, Hong Yujun was extremely busy.
In the room, Chu Qingzhi handed a letter to Hong Yujun, “The young master has replied to your letter.”
Hong Yujun was both shocked and overjoyed, tears welling up in her eyes, “I thought the young master wouldn’t reply to me.”
Chu Qingzhi defended herself, “That’s not the case. It’s just that he’s in a far place, so the reply took some time. Hurry and take it back to read.”
Hong Yujun nodded, “Yes, Qingzhi, I’m going back to my room.”
Chu Qingzhisaid, “Goahead.”
Back in her room, Hong Yujun immediately opened the letter to read it and couldn’t help but exclaim in joy, “The young master will attend my wedding. That’s wonderful, truly wonderful!”
