The Su residence, a two-courtyard complex, was teeming with tables brimming with food in the front courtyard’s living room, ready to receive the government officers who came to bring the good news.
It wasn’t an easy task for the Magistrate of Xuzhou and the Mingshui County Magistrate, who had endured a tedious journey to get here, and it certainly wasn’t right to dismiss them so casually.
The Village Chief’s two daughters-in-law, along with Li Xiu’e and Grandma Wang, busily prepared a feast to treat the two local officers.
The delicious cuisine of the Su Clan was as good as the restaurants in Xuzhou City.
Chicken stew with sealwort, braised eel, soy-fried ribs, braised pork trotters.
Dishes of exquisite home-cooked meals began to fill the table, and the officers relished in the delicacy, exclaiming their satisfaction.
The homemade wine made by Su Qingluo was so intoxicatingly aromatic that it kindled one’s appetite.
By the end of the meal, everyone, including the Magistrate, who was there to deliver the good news, were full and flushed.
Su Hu and his wife handed out red envelopes to each government courier who came to deliver the good news.
Each of the two officers received a gift of ten jars of fine wine.
The Magistrate arrived joyfully and left with satisfaction.
When he departed from Woniu Village, he was thoroughly drunk, swaying and nearly stumbling, and was helped onto a ferry by two officers.
The news of Fortune Child topping the Provincial Examination spread like spring breeze throughout the villages and towns.
The villagers who had received relief from Su Clan during the flood were all really grateful and from all villages, they came in succession to congratulate Su Clan.
Merchants who had done business with Su clan as well as Su Qingluo’s classmates who could come, also arrived.
Luo Zhan visited personally bringing elaborate congratulatory gifts.
It’s worth mentioning, the Master of Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion, Xue Rufeng, disguised himself as his own servant and appeared before Su Qingluo.
“Big brother, has your illness improved?”
Su Qingluo, with her remarkable memory, recognized him in the crowd at first glance and warmly greeted him.
“It is no longer a problem. Thank you for the medicine, young lady.”
Xue Rufeng looked up at the cheerful young girl and replied with a slight curve on his lips and offered a salute, which shocked the onlookers, including Luo Zhan.
As far as they could recall, their master had never shown any friendliness like this before.
What did that tender smile on his cold lips mean?
“Don’t underestimate your old illness. I have another bottle of medicine here for you. Take one pill on the first and fifteenth of each month, it will help stabilize your condition.”
Smiling, Su Qingluo took a bottle of spiritual medicine from her sleeve, which she had prepared in advance, and tossed it to Xue Rufeng.
Xue Rufeng thought his disguise was impenetrable, but in fact, as soon as he left the Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion, the Little Kingfisher had received the news and informed its mistress of his visit.
“Thank you for the medicine, young lady,” he said, catching the bottle of medicine with a fleeting sparkle in his eyes.
“Brother Zhan, you have the perfect timing. I recently developed a ointment for frostbite, and I was thinking of discussing with you about selling it at the medicine shop.”
After giving away the spiritual medicine, Su Qingluo stopped paying attention to the disguised servant, and turned to Luo Zhan with a beaming smile.
At her words, Luo Zhan was thrilled: “A frostbite ointment created by Qingluo is bound to be extraordinarily effective. Let’s not just sell it on consignment. Let’s make an agreement for exclusive sale by Jufeng Trading Company. We will produce it in large quantities and sell it across the Seven Kingdoms.”
“Brother Zhan, I have an idea about the frostbite ointment,” Su Qingluo said thoughtfully, her plans already made: “The cold territories in Beidi have a high demand for frostbite ointment. Once it is mass-produced and the sales channels are established, the profits will be considerable.”
