Cannon Fodder's Humanoid Plug-in
Chapter 40 Ancient Business Women Control Group
From a nerd to a master (catch bugs)
Suzhou City, Yan Family.
In front of the gate with white walls and red tiles, two stone lions stared at the middle-aged woman who was pushed out from the gate.
"Thank you, Matchmaker Wang, for your kindness, but my young lady really doesn't plan to recruit a wife, so please go back."
The red-lacquered door slammed shut, and Matchmaker Wang gritted her teeth.
Still unwilling to give up, she stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck and shouted inside: "Please persuade your young lady! This woman is going to marry after all, and Miss Yan is already 24. If the marriage is still not settled, you can do it in the future." The ones to choose from are all old men!"
Mo Xiang: "..."
She endured it, remembering Yan Lingchuan's advice, so she didn't curse out loud, but silently held the letter in her hand and quickened her pace, and went to the study to find the young lady.
The letter was naturally the one sent back by Yan Chen.
In the study room, Yan Lingchuan frowned slightly, and the corners of her lips were straightened, making the face of a beauty whom I still pitied a little cold, like a cold lotus on the Tianshan Mountains.
"Miss, the young master has sent a letter."
Hearing Mo Xiang's voice, Yan Lingchuan raised his head: "Come in."
She took the letter, but before opening it, she smiled into Mo Xiangliang's bright eyes: "Master, why do you seem so happy?"
Isn't Mo Xiang happy? The young lady is so attentive to the young master, but he never appreciates it.
Before he went out to take part in the township examination, not to mention the handwritten letter, he didn't even send a word of the oral message, so when the person who announced the good news came, the lady was not prepared at all.
Now when I went to Beijing to rush for the exam, I actually sent a letter back.
"Miss, what did you say, Young Master?" Mo Xiang and Yan Lingchuan were close, so he dared to ask anything when he thought of it.
But seeing Yan Lingchuan looking at the letter, his face was expressionless at first, then his brows were slightly frowned, and finally he smiled, but no matter how you look at it, this smile is a bit weird.
Mo Xiang felt bad: "Miss?"
Yan Lingchuan put down the letter: "It's all right."
She smiled inexplicably: "You asked me for money."
Mo Xiang let out an "ah" in disappointment, she actually asked for money... "No." She was a little strange: "Master, it's not always..."
"Young master, something happened, right?"
"Probably not." Yan Lingchuan shook his head slightly, and looked at the words on the letter paper again.
After a long while, she sighed and said: "Perhaps I have traveled far away, suffered some grievances, and finally became more sensible, so that's good."
"Wronged?" Mo Xiang was surprised, and became a little worried: "My lord...have you been bullied?"
"It's okay, it's just a little thing."
Yan Lingchuan had already put away the letter, sat down with a pen in hand, and took out a blank piece of paper.
Seeing this, Mo Xiang immediately grinds ink for her.
After writing the reply letter, Yan Lingchuan took some broken silver and bank notes and handed them to Mo Xiang.
"This...Miss." Mo Xiang looked down at the money in his arms in confusion: "Is this too much?"
"Not much." Yan Lingchuan said indifferently, glanced at her, and felt that it was indeed too much: "That's all."
Mo Xiang thought she was going to take some back, but Yan Lingchuan took the letter, bank notes, and purse from her, walked out, and called the housekeeper and a chief guard.
The Yan family has a big business, and there are two chief guards. The surname is Xu, and the name is Xu An.
This man was 22 years old, with high martial arts skills, and he had been favored by Yan Lingchuan, so he stayed in the Yan family as a nursing home. Yan Lingchuan trusted him very much.
She asked the housekeeper to prepare horses and luggage for Xu An, and handed over the letter and bank notes to the other party: "You deliver these to the young master for me, and we will set off immediately."
"Go along the line of students rushing for the exam. You don't have to come back after you go, so you can take care of your son. After the exam is over..."
Yan Lingchuan instructed carefully.
After the butler packed the luggage, Xu An solemnly took the burden, put it on his shoulders, got on his horse, and drove off in the dust.
Watching his gradually disappearing back, Mo Xiang helped Yan Lingchuan back to the study, and finally couldn't help asking: "Miss..."
"Aren't you going to buy that batch of new cloth from the Wen family?"
She could see that the young lady was very moved by her before.
And that batch of fabrics is really beautiful. Recently, several regular customers have come to ask if they have that kind of fabric at home.
"I won't buy it." Yan Lingchuan rubbed the center of his brows, showing a bit of fatigue.
Mo Xiang shut up knowingly, and stepped forward to squeeze her shoulders.
Yan Lingchuan closed his eyes, his thoughts scattered.
The Wen family's new cloth is beautiful, but she can tell that the mass production cost of this kind of cloth is extremely high.And the profit of distribution is not much higher.
Yan Lingchuan wanted to buy it before because he was afraid of losing customers.
Moreover, Wen's shop is small in scale and cannot take advantage of special fabrics.
It's better for the two to cooperate, she will stabilize her reputation and the other party will make money.
Now that the adoptive brother needs more silver taels, of course he is the one to come.
Mo Xiang's technique was very good, Yan Lingchuan closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, feeling a little sleepy, and remembered more trivial things.
After her father passed away, her adoptive brother was taught to know nothing about the world. She could only rely on her thin shoulders to support the family business. It has been almost nine years now.
After a long time, Yan Lingchuan could hardly remember the way she and her adoptive brother got along when they were young.
The relationship between the two is very weak now, but Yan Lingchuan vaguely remembers that when she was young, she always liked to tease him, because he was like a little old man, talking about everyone, even if he was bullied, he would not complain.
She was cute when she was young, but why did she become a rigid nerd when she grew up?
Thinking of the letter he just received, Yan Lingchuan couldn't help laughing again: After traveling far away, I have made some progress.
"Miss?" Mo Xiang was puzzled.
"Nothing." Yan Lingchuan opened his eyes again and waved his hands: "You step back."
"Yes." Mo Xiang looked at her worriedly.
Walking out of the study, Mo Xiang sighed slightly:
In the past few days, there have always been inexplicable customers making troubles in the shops of the Yan family, and the business has been affected to some extent. Although it is not a major problem, all the managers have been recruited, and Yan Lingchuan is still very busy.
I thought the situation could be alleviated by relying on the Wen family's batch of fabrics.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the young master actually wrote back... asking for money.
Ugh……
The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes.
The soil wetted by the rain gradually turned into a road covered with a thin layer of snow, and the color of loess underneath could be seen.
Yan Chen's body was weak and he was afraid of the cold. Naturally, he went to bed earlier and earlier every day, getting up at just the right time to finish his breakfast and leave.
At first, Geng Ming watched him hesitate to speak.
Yan Chen saw it, and the reason for answering him was very legitimate: "I was seriously ill when I came back from the township examination last year. Now that I think about it, it's because I haven't had enough rest for many years, and my body is too weak to bear the environment in the dormitory."
"The township examination is still like this, and the general examination is in the twelfth lunar month..."
"I heard that in the past, students went in vertically and came out horizontally every year."
Yan Chen said righteously and sternly: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I will definitely recharge my energy and store up my energy to prepare for the wind and frost swords in the house. Geng Ming, you come to supervise me."
Geng Ming was taken aback, and asked the supervisor what.
Yan Chen: "Of course it is to supervise me to go to bed early and get up early to take care of my body."
Geng Ming was about to say, son, you don't get up early.On the side, Zheng Tianyan just heard this, and laughed out loud.
Yan Chen pulled Zheng Tianyan to keep in good health together.
—Yes, it was a bizarre turn of events, but...he did.
When Gein was at the post station before, when Zheng Tianyan and Shi Huaiguang had an argument, they used the excuse of "I have been in poor health since I was a child."
Zheng Tianyan originally thought that everyone else had forgotten these words.
Unexpectedly, Yan Chen still remembered.
What's more, Yan Chen not only became tired of studying when he was about to take the exam, but he also insisted on pulling him along with him when he started "health preservation".
Every time the five of them chatted together, Yan Chen would pull Zheng Tianyan and instill in him thoughts such as "the body is the capital of the exam", "a person is iron, food is steel, if you don't sleep for a day, you will feel sleepy" and so on. .
Zheng Tianyan was fine, he heard these words in one ear and out the other.
He saw it very clearly: Yan Chen must be tired of studying, and he can't stand the efforts of others, and wants to drag him into the water!
But his cousin was fooled very much.
Even at night when Zheng Tianyan worked hard quietly, Cousin Zheng still worriedly advised him to go to bed early.
Zheng Tianyan was speechless: "Cousin, don't you know how my health is?"
He wasn't really like that sick Yan Chen who coughed three times after saying a word.
Cousin Zheng suddenly realized: "Yes! Er Niu, you have been as strong as a bull since you were a child, I forgot..."
Zheng Tianyan was silent for a moment: "Cousin, you forgot again. Don't call me by my baby name when you are away from home."
Cousin Zheng scratched his head apologetically: "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot again..."
Zheng Tianyan: "..." Forget it, at least my cousin no longer tried to dissuade him from studying.
It's a pity that Cousin Zheng has settled the matter here, and there is Yan Chen outside, who will drag him to talk about health preservation from time to time.
Zheng Tianyan was disturbed by his sudden concern.
However, he really couldn't refuse.
Things started two days ago.
Shi Huaiguang has stayed in Yanchen's carriage since he developed a new learning model that has the best of both worlds and win-win cooperation.
Yan Chen not only lent him the book, but also gave him some exercises and homework as a reward.
Shi Huaiguang is a candidate for martial arts. In the martial arts infield exam, he doesn't need to test poetry and poetry, but only needs to test strategy theory—otherwise, the gods will come and they won't be able to carry them.
Although policy theory is difficult, if you find the right entry point, you can still get high marks even if the rhetoric is not gorgeous and the language is simple and down-to-earth.
Targeted devil exercises were not uncommon for ancient people.
But Shi Huaiguang felt his progress speed as if he was sitting on a bloody horse, and he was still full of shock, so he was even more grateful to Yan Chen.
On weekdays, when Lu Weizhou and the others were talking about strategies, Shi Huaiguang also had the guts to intervene.
As soon as he joined the group chat, Lu Weizhou noticed his progress.
Under questioning, Shi Huaiguang didn't think too much, and took out the questions Yan Chen gave him, together with the results of the corrections and reference answers.
Lu Weizhou was very excited while holding the question.
He went directly to Yan Chen, "May I ask Mr. Yan, where did these test papers come from? Which adult handed them?"
He is more knowledgeable than Shi Huaiguang, and he can tell at a glance that if these questions are not old fritters who have been immersed in officialdom for many years-or they must be old fritters who have done practical things, and ordinary scholars cannot write them.
At that time, Yan Chen had just woken up and was having breakfast.
Shi Huaiguang was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't I just say that?" He scratched his head: "These questions are all written by Mr. Yan himself."
Lu Weizhou didn't quite believe it, so he asked Yan Chen for confirmation: "Young Master Yan, is this true?"
After Yan Chen finished his last sip of porridge, he was thinking about the silver that the eldest sister gave him... No, when will the eldest sister's reply come.
He nodded slightly: "I wrote the question, what's wrong?"
Lu Weizhou was silent for a moment, then exclaimed suddenly: "Brother Yan is really talented!"
His eyes were slightly bright, and his demeanor was like a spring breeze: "I have a merciless request. Later, brother Yan will come up with a plan for the exam questions for Mr. Shi. Can you let me answer together."
"As for the reward..." Lu Weizhou pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about what would be a better way to thank him.
Yan Chen nodded: "There is no need for a reward."
On his pale face, a humble smile slowly appeared, and the brilliance projected from his star eyes like spots of paint is even more dazzling: "Since you and I are classmates, it is only natural for us to help and learn from each other, let alone some Exam questions."
"If you don't dislike it, you can watch it with Brother Shi next time."
"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Yan!" Lu Weizhou felt ashamed for a moment: Compared with Mr. Yan's generosity and magnanimity, he called himself a gentleman, but he never gave any books or study help to Shi Huaiguang and others.
Lu Weizhou couldn't help but turned his head and said to Shi Huaiguang: "Your policy is guided by Mr. Yan, so it is naturally impeccable in content. It's just..."
He paused, and said tactfully: "Although most examiners only look at the argument and not handwriting, if you can write good handwriting, the examiner will have a better impression of you."
"I happen to have a copy of the poster at my place, you and Yuan Xiang can get it later."
Yan Chen was taken aback, he really didn't pay attention to the handwriting.
It happened that Shi Huaiguang looked over here, Yan Chen nodded towards him, Shi Huaiguang immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Doing a topic for one person is doing it, and doing it for a group of people is also doing it.
As soon as Lu Weizhou opened his mouth, Qi Shu couldn't help it: a topic that can make Lu Weizhou praise it must be excellent.
As soon as Qi Shu opened his mouth, Zheng Tianyan, the only one who had some conflicts with Yan Chen, held back for a long time, and came over to say that he would join.
Contrary to his expected result, Yan Chen agreed without thinking, as if he never thought of refusing.
So on the first day, Zheng Tianyan finished the questions.
During lunch, Yan Chen took the opportunity to change all of them, and even talked about it.
Zheng Tianyan felt that he had benefited a lot, and was even grateful: It seems that Yan Chen is not tired of studying, he is really invulnerable except for his poor health.
In the past, Zheng Tianyan would definitely feel jealous.
However, while supporting his sick body, Yanchen coughed and gave them a lecture...
With such selflessness, Zheng Tianyan couldn't even feel sour.
——If he doesn't pull him to keep healthy.
However, the second day, the third day... As time progressed, Zheng Tianyan's mood was not as good as the first day.
Every time Yan Chen gave a lecture, he would use the answer of one of the four of them as an example.
An unqualified answer is naturally a counterexample.
Zheng Tianyan gradually discovered that almost every day, he would be pulled out by Yan Chen for a walk.
It's like training a dog, criticize it, and then explain the correct way of thinking... Bah!Zheng Tianyan shook his head, he is not a dog.
He is a dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis, and he cannot tell what he is suffering.
After all, Yan Chen didn't just use him as an example, all the answer sheets of the four were used by Yan Chen as an example.
It's just that the other three people didn't have as many times as him.
When being criticized, Yan Chen's words were not as vicious and merciless as when he was being criticized...
In the evening, a group of people arrived at the inn.
——At the posthouse yesterday, considering Yan Chen's frail health, Qi Shu offered to pay him money to change him to a better room.
Yan Chen refused, and emphasized again that he didn't need to be paid.
Qi Shu was very moved, and together with others, he found a reason.
He said: "The weather wasn't too cold before, but I can't bear it these few days, so I want to stay in a hotel in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go with everyone..."
Qi Shu burst into tears, his face full of reluctance: "The environment in the inn is really bad. Mr. Yan is right, the body is the principal of the exam. In my opinion, how about a few of you staying with me in the inn?"
"Because of my background as a merchant, I didn't have many acquaintances and friends when I was in the academy. I have enjoyed talking with you these few days and benefited a lot... I really don't want to give up."
"If you don't mind, I have a little money in the next family, but I can pay for your accommodation. You should accompany me... If I continue to rush for the exam by myself, I really have no idea."
Shi Huaiguang was so moved that his eyes filled with tears: "Young Master Qi, I am willing to walk with you, but..."
Lu Weizhou nodded: "I can also go to the inn with you..."
Zheng Tianyan held back: "I have no problem..."
The three of them looked at Yan Chen at the same time: "Young Master Yan/Brother Yan, what about you?"
"Young Master Yan, you should also come with us." Shi Huaiguang said, "You have helped us a lot in the past few days. If we leave you on the road alone, I really don't feel at ease."
"That's right, Mr. Yan, if we leave you alone to go on the road, I really don't feel at ease." Qi Shu corrected.
The four companions gathered around to persuade, and the gentleman Yan Chen agreed with great emotion.
Today, they changed to the inn.
In the evening, the red clouds reflected on the snow, Qi Shu's book boy went to pay to book a room, Yuan Xiang and Yuan Rui went to order food.
Five scholars sat down at a table in the lobby and handed in the answer sheets for yesterday's questions.
Yan Chen looked at them one by one, and food was served one after another.
After eating, when the waiter in the shop cleared the table, he looked slightly solemn and explained the strategy to the four companions.
Then he pulled Zheng Tianyan out and criticized him.
There are not many people in the inn, and most of them are students like Lu Weizhou and Qi Shu, who either have status or are rich.
Although Yan Chen's voice was actually very low, and he coughed three times, but there were still a few people looking over here.
Zheng Tianyan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
After finishing the question, Yan Chen yawned, and Shi Huaiguang hurriedly said, "Young Master Yan, are you sleepy? I'm bothering you again today, go and rest quickly."
Yan Chen nodded slightly: "Then I'll go back to my room first."
Geng Ming followed behind him, turned his head and glared at Shi Huaiguang: This kid has the nerve to say it!
If it wasn't for him, would his young master have to give lectures to these people every day?
Shi Huaiguang didn't notice it, after listening to Yan Chen's lecture, he had to practice calligraphy, so he got up and left.
Lu Weizhou also left.
Qi Shu was still looking down at his strategy, Zheng Tianyan couldn't help but confide in him: "I always feel that Yan Chen is targeting me."
"Every time he uses me as an example, his mouth is very poisonous."
"Tell me, is he still hating me before..."
Before Zheng Tianyan finished speaking, Qi Shu raised his head in surprise: "Brother Zheng, why do you think so?"
"If Mr. Yan really hated you, why would he still be willing to give you a lecture? What's more," Qi Shu paused, and said euphemistically: "Besides, Brother Zheng, your theory foundation is weak."
"When Mr. Yan criticized us, he also didn't show mercy."
"He should just never have thought that he should pay attention to these, just like our master." Qi Shu sighed:
"Master teaches and lectures, and even he has to pay for it, but Mr. Yan doesn't take any money. He is so kind and generous. He is a real gentleman!"
"Brother Zheng, don't think too much." Qi Shu stood up and patted Zheng Tianyan on the shoulder.
Zheng Tianyan thought that he was going back to his room, but he called the book boy and told him: "Go and tell the shop waiter to order a better breakfast for Mr. Yan. He is not in good health and needs more supplements."
The book boy nodded in agreement, Qi Shu smiled in satisfaction, turned around and said, "Brother Zheng, I'm going back to my room first." Then he left gracefully.
Zheng Tianyan: "..."
no? ?Didn't you still say that Yan Chen was poor like me before? ?
When did you suddenly change your mind? !
Zheng Tianyan's heart aches for his friend's betrayal.
When he returned to his room at night, he couldn't help but said to Cousin Zheng: "Qi Shu's family is rich, so I don't know what Yan Chen thinks."
"If I were him, I would definitely be paid."
The general examination is for students selected from all over the country for common reference.The further you go, the more people you can beat with one ranking.
Zheng Tianyan sighed, and resignedly picked up the scroll: Yan Chen can sleep, but he can't.
Cousin Zheng also sighed inwardly when he saw him calm down.
He really wanted to tell his cousin, "Because of this, you are not Mr. Yan", but after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would go home and complain, so he kept silent.
Several examinees have their own troubles, but these have nothing to do with Yan Chen.
He really didn't want to be lazy these few days, but as he crossed the region, he was not acclimatized to the environment, and he was already weak. If he hadn't hid in the carriage all day long and had a bowl of ginger soup from time to time, he might really have a cold.
Giving lectures to Shi Huaiguang and others is not only an adjustment, but also a pavement for the future.
However, he really didn't expect that he would be able to change the inn before the eldest sister's financial assistance arrived.
This was a pleasant surprise for Yan Chen—as for the acting skills of Qi Shu and the others, don't mention it.He kept hypnotizing himself in his heart before he could barely believe it.
I almost couldn't sleep on such a warm quilt.
Yan Chen rubbed the soft quilt in her hand and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, as usual, he didn't get up until everyone else had finished their breakfast and read for a while.
The rooms in the inn have small beds for servants and servants to sleep in, but Geng Ming is not there, Yan Chen is fully dressed, pushes the door out, and bumps into him head-on.
"My lord, Miss sent someone to send a letter back!"
Yan Chen looked sideways, and behind Geng Ming, stood a familiar man. The man was dusty and cold, and his eyes were full of tiredness. It was obvious that he had just arrived not long ago.
"Xu An?" Yan Chen was a little surprised, and invited him in.
Xu An handed the letter to him.
Yan Chen unfolded the letter, read it carefully, and couldn't laugh or cry.
"You used to go out and never sent me a letter. Now it's rare to know the world and you still know how to care about me. I'm very relieved, so I sent you some silver taels, but Mo Xiang was very scared."
"She asked me: Young Master, has he been bullied? I told her that your young master has nothing to do with his body, and only his talents and looks are worth a lot. He was bullied, either by a female bully, or by a female bully. In the end, I became a little Zhima official, and my talents were not appreciated."
"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it."
——This is just a small paragraph in the letter, the rest are in normal tone, as the eldest sister cares and reminds the younger brother.
However, when Yan Chen faced this passage, he felt ironed in his heart:
Yan Lingchuan seemed to be stabbing him, but he was actually telling him: she sent the money because he knew that he cared about his sister and was pleased;
If he doesn't pass the exam, it's okay to just be a little sesame official—it's tens of millions of times better than their current business status.
As for being snatched away by a female bully...
Yan Lingchuan had always hoped that when her adoptive brother got married and had a child, she would take one to raise him.
If he was really robbed to be the husband of the village, wouldn't that be considered a grievance to her?
The author says:
Yan Chen: Unexpectedly, I have no CP;
-
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Suzhou City, Yan Family.
In front of the gate with white walls and red tiles, two stone lions stared at the middle-aged woman who was pushed out from the gate.
"Thank you, Matchmaker Wang, for your kindness, but my young lady really doesn't plan to recruit a wife, so please go back."

The letter was naturally the one sent back by Yan Chen.
In the study room, Yan Lingchuan frowned slightly, and the corners of her lips were straightened, making the face of a beauty whom I still pitied a little cold, like a cold lotus on the Tianshan Mountains.
"Miss, the young master has sent a letter."
Hearing Mo Xiang's voice, Yan Lingchuan raised his head: "Come in."
She took the letter, but before opening it, she smiled into Mo Xiangliang's bright eyes: "Master, why do you seem so happy?"
Isn't Mo Xiang happy? The young lady is so attentive to the young master, but he never appreciates it.
Before he went out to take part in the township examination, not to mention the handwritten letter, he didn't even send a word of the oral message, so when the person who announced the good news came, the lady was not prepared at all.

Mo Xiang felt bad: "Miss?"
Yan Lingchuan put down the letter: "It's all right."
She smiled inexplicably: "You asked me for money."
Mo Xiang let out an "ah" in disappointment, she actually asked for money... "No." She was a little strange: "Master, it's not always..."
"Young master, something happened, right?"
"Probably not." Yan Lingchuan shook his head slightly, and looked at the words on the letter paper again.
After a long while, she sighed and said: "Perhaps I have traveled far away, suffered some grievances, and finally became more sensible, so that's good."
"Wronged?" Mo Xiang was surprised, and became a little worried: "My lord...have you been bullied?"
"It's okay, it's just a little thing."
Yan Lingchuan had already put away the letter, sat down with a pen in hand, and took out a blank piece of paper.
Seeing this, Mo Xiang immediately grinds ink for her.
After writing the reply letter, Yan Lingchuan took some broken silver and bank notes and handed them to Mo Xiang.
"This...Miss." Mo Xiang looked down at the money in his arms in confusion: "Is this too much?"
"Not much." Yan Lingchuan said indifferently, glanced at her, and felt that it was indeed too much: "That's all."
Mo Xiang thought she was going to take some back, but Yan Lingchuan took the letter, bank notes, and purse from her, walked out, and called the housekeeper and a chief guard.

Yan Lingchuan instructed carefully.
After the butler packed the luggage, Xu An solemnly took the burden, put it on his shoulders, got on his horse, and drove off in the dust.
Watching his gradually disappearing back, Mo Xiang helped Yan Lingchuan back to the study, and finally couldn't help asking: "Miss..."
"Aren't you going to buy that batch of new cloth from the Wen family?"
She could see that the young lady was very moved by her before.
And that batch of fabrics is really beautiful. Recently, several regular customers have come to ask if they have that kind of fabric at home.
"I won't buy it." Yan Lingchuan rubbed the center of his brows, showing a bit of fatigue.
Mo Xiang shut up knowingly, and stepped forward to squeeze her shoulders.
Yan Lingchuan closed his eyes, his thoughts scattered.
The Wen family's new cloth is beautiful, but she can tell that the mass production cost of this kind of cloth is extremely high.And the profit of distribution is not much higher.

"Yes." Mo Xiang looked at her worriedly.
Walking out of the study, Mo Xiang sighed slightly:

Yan Chen saw it, and the reason for answering him was very legitimate: "I was seriously ill when I came back from the township examination last year. Now that I think about it, it's because I haven't had enough rest for many years, and my body is too weak to bear the environment in the dormitory."
"The township examination is still like this, and the general examination is in the twelfth lunar month..."
"I heard that in the past, students went in vertically and came out horizontally every year."
Yan Chen said righteously and sternly: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I will definitely recharge my energy and store up my energy to prepare for the wind and frost swords in the house. Geng Ming, you come to supervise me."
Geng Ming was taken aback, and asked the supervisor what.
Yan Chen: "Of course it is to supervise me to go to bed early and get up early to take care of my body."
Geng Ming was about to say, son, you don't get up early.On the side, Zheng Tianyan just heard this, and laughed out loud.
Yan Chen pulled Zheng Tianyan to keep in good health together.
—Yes, it was a bizarre turn of events, but...he did.
When Gein was at the post station before, when Zheng Tianyan and Shi Huaiguang had an argument, they used the excuse of "I have been in poor health since I was a child."
Zheng Tianyan originally thought that everyone else had forgotten these words.
Unexpectedly, Yan Chen still remembered.
What's more, Yan Chen not only became tired of studying when he was about to take the exam, but he also insisted on pulling him along with him when he started "health preservation".
Every time the five of them chatted together, Yan Chen would pull Zheng Tianyan and instill in him thoughts such as "the body is the capital of the exam", "a person is iron, food is steel, if you don't sleep for a day, you will feel sleepy" and so on. .
Zheng Tianyan was fine, he heard these words in one ear and out the other.
He saw it very clearly: Yan Chen must be tired of studying, and he can't stand the efforts of others, and wants to drag him into the water!
But his cousin was fooled very much.
Even at night when Zheng Tianyan worked hard quietly, Cousin Zheng still worriedly advised him to go to bed early.
Zheng Tianyan was speechless: "Cousin, don't you know how my health is?"
He wasn't really like that sick Yan Chen who coughed three times after saying a word.
Cousin Zheng suddenly realized: "Yes! Er Niu, you have been as strong as a bull since you were a child, I forgot..."
Zheng Tianyan was silent for a moment: "Cousin, you forgot again. Don't call me by my baby name when you are away from home."
Cousin Zheng scratched his head apologetically: "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot again..."
Zheng Tianyan: "..." Forget it, at least my cousin no longer tried to dissuade him from studying.
It's a pity that Cousin Zheng has settled the matter here, and there is Yan Chen outside, who will drag him to talk about health preservation from time to time.
Zheng Tianyan was disturbed by his sudden concern.
However, he really couldn't refuse.
Things started two days ago.
Shi Huaiguang has stayed in Yanchen's carriage since he developed a new learning model that has the best of both worlds and win-win cooperation.
Yan Chen not only lent him the book, but also gave him some exercises and homework as a reward.
Shi Huaiguang is a candidate for martial arts. In the martial arts infield exam, he doesn't need to test poetry and poetry, but only needs to test strategy theory—otherwise, the gods will come and they won't be able to carry them.
Although policy theory is difficult, if you find the right entry point, you can still get high marks even if the rhetoric is not gorgeous and the language is simple and down-to-earth.
Targeted devil exercises were not uncommon for ancient people.
But Shi Huaiguang felt his progress speed as if he was sitting on a bloody horse, and he was still full of shock, so he was even more grateful to Yan Chen.
On weekdays, when Lu Weizhou and the others were talking about strategies, Shi Huaiguang also had the guts to intervene.
As soon as he joined the group chat, Lu Weizhou noticed his progress.
Under questioning, Shi Huaiguang didn't think too much, and took out the questions Yan Chen gave him, together with the results of the corrections and reference answers.
Lu Weizhou was very excited while holding the question.
He went directly to Yan Chen, "May I ask Mr. Yan, where did these test papers come from? Which adult handed them?"
He is more knowledgeable than Shi Huaiguang, and he can tell at a glance that if these questions are not old fritters who have been immersed in officialdom for many years-or they must be old fritters who have done practical things, and ordinary scholars cannot write them.
At that time, Yan Chen had just woken up and was having breakfast.
Shi Huaiguang was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't I just say that?" He scratched his head: "These questions are all written by Mr. Yan himself."
Lu Weizhou didn't quite believe it, so he asked Yan Chen for confirmation: "Young Master Yan, is this true?"
After Yan Chen finished his last sip of porridge, he was thinking about the silver that the eldest sister gave him... No, when will the eldest sister's reply come.
He nodded slightly: "I wrote the question, what's wrong?"
Lu Weizhou was silent for a moment, then exclaimed suddenly: "Brother Yan is really talented!"
His eyes were slightly bright, and his demeanor was like a spring breeze: "I have a merciless request. Later, brother Yan will come up with a plan for the exam questions for Mr. Shi. Can you let me answer together."
"As for the reward..." Lu Weizhou pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about what would be a better way to thank him.
Yan Chen nodded: "There is no need for a reward."
On his pale face, a humble smile slowly appeared, and the brilliance projected from his star eyes like spots of paint is even more dazzling: "Since you and I are classmates, it is only natural for us to help and learn from each other, let alone some Exam questions."
"If you don't dislike it, you can watch it with Brother Shi next time."
"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Yan!" Lu Weizhou felt ashamed for a moment: Compared with Mr. Yan's generosity and magnanimity, he called himself a gentleman, but he never gave any books or study help to Shi Huaiguang and others.
Lu Weizhou couldn't help but turned his head and said to Shi Huaiguang: "Your policy is guided by Mr. Yan, so it is naturally impeccable in content. It's just..."
He paused, and said tactfully: "Although most examiners only look at the argument and not handwriting, if you can write good handwriting, the examiner will have a better impression of you."
"I happen to have a copy of the poster at my place, you and Yuan Xiang can get it later."
Yan Chen was taken aback, he really didn't pay attention to the handwriting.
It happened that Shi Huaiguang looked over here, Yan Chen nodded towards him, Shi Huaiguang immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Doing a topic for one person is doing it, and doing it for a group of people is also doing it.
As soon as Lu Weizhou opened his mouth, Qi Shu couldn't help it: a topic that can make Lu Weizhou praise it must be excellent.
As soon as Qi Shu opened his mouth, Zheng Tianyan, the only one who had some conflicts with Yan Chen, held back for a long time, and came over to say that he would join.
Contrary to his expected result, Yan Chen agreed without thinking, as if he never thought of refusing.
So on the first day, Zheng Tianyan finished the questions.
During lunch, Yan Chen took the opportunity to change all of them, and even talked about it.
Zheng Tianyan felt that he had benefited a lot, and was even grateful: It seems that Yan Chen is not tired of studying, he is really invulnerable except for his poor health.
In the past, Zheng Tianyan would definitely feel jealous.
However, while supporting his sick body, Yanchen coughed and gave them a lecture...
With such selflessness, Zheng Tianyan couldn't even feel sour.
——If he doesn't pull him to keep healthy.
However, the second day, the third day... As time progressed, Zheng Tianyan's mood was not as good as the first day.
Every time Yan Chen gave a lecture, he would use the answer of one of the four of them as an example.
An unqualified answer is naturally a counterexample.
Zheng Tianyan gradually discovered that almost every day, he would be pulled out by Yan Chen for a walk.
It's like training a dog, criticize it, and then explain the correct way of thinking... Bah!Zheng Tianyan shook his head, he is not a dog.
He is a dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis, and he cannot tell what he is suffering.
After all, Yan Chen didn't just use him as an example, all the answer sheets of the four were used by Yan Chen as an example.
It's just that the other three people didn't have as many times as him.
When being criticized, Yan Chen's words were not as vicious and merciless as when he was being criticized...
In the evening, a group of people arrived at the inn.
——At the posthouse yesterday, considering Yan Chen's frail health, Qi Shu offered to pay him money to change him to a better room.
Yan Chen refused, and emphasized again that he didn't need to be paid.
Qi Shu was very moved, and together with others, he found a reason.
He said: "The weather wasn't too cold before, but I can't bear it these few days, so I want to stay in a hotel in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go with everyone..."
Qi Shu burst into tears, his face full of reluctance: "The environment in the inn is really bad. Mr. Yan is right, the body is the principal of the exam. In my opinion, how about a few of you staying with me in the inn?"
"Because of my background as a merchant, I didn't have many acquaintances and friends when I was in the academy. I have enjoyed talking with you these few days and benefited a lot... I really don't want to give up."
"If you don't mind, I have a little money in the next family, but I can pay for your accommodation. You should accompany me... If I continue to rush for the exam by myself, I really have no idea."
Shi Huaiguang was so moved that his eyes filled with tears: "Young Master Qi, I am willing to walk with you, but..."
Lu Weizhou nodded: "I can also go to the inn with you..."
Zheng Tianyan held back: "I have no problem..."
The three of them looked at Yan Chen at the same time: "Young Master Yan/Brother Yan, what about you?"
"Young Master Yan, you should also come with us." Shi Huaiguang said, "You have helped us a lot in the past few days. If we leave you on the road alone, I really don't feel at ease."
"That's right, Mr. Yan, if we leave you alone to go on the road, I really don't feel at ease." Qi Shu corrected.
The four companions gathered around to persuade, and the gentleman Yan Chen agreed with great emotion.
Today, they changed to the inn.
In the evening, the red clouds reflected on the snow, Qi Shu's book boy went to pay to book a room, Yuan Xiang and Yuan Rui went to order food.
Five scholars sat down at a table in the lobby and handed in the answer sheets for yesterday's questions.
Yan Chen looked at them one by one, and food was served one after another.
After eating, when the waiter in the shop cleared the table, he looked slightly solemn and explained the strategy to the four companions.
Then he pulled Zheng Tianyan out and criticized him.
There are not many people in the inn, and most of them are students like Lu Weizhou and Qi Shu, who either have status or are rich.
Although Yan Chen's voice was actually very low, and he coughed three times, but there were still a few people looking over here.
Zheng Tianyan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
After finishing the question, Yan Chen yawned, and Shi Huaiguang hurriedly said, "Young Master Yan, are you sleepy? I'm bothering you again today, go and rest quickly."
Yan Chen nodded slightly: "Then I'll go back to my room first."
Geng Ming followed behind him, turned his head and glared at Shi Huaiguang: This kid has the nerve to say it!
If it wasn't for him, would his young master have to give lectures to these people every day?
Shi Huaiguang didn't notice it, after listening to Yan Chen's lecture, he had to practice calligraphy, so he got up and left.
Lu Weizhou also left.
Qi Shu was still looking down at his strategy, Zheng Tianyan couldn't help but confide in him: "I always feel that Yan Chen is targeting me."
"Every time he uses me as an example, his mouth is very poisonous."
"Tell me, is he still hating me before..."
Before Zheng Tianyan finished speaking, Qi Shu raised his head in surprise: "Brother Zheng, why do you think so?"
"If Mr. Yan really hated you, why would he still be willing to give you a lecture? What's more," Qi Shu paused, and said euphemistically: "Besides, Brother Zheng, your theory foundation is weak."
"When Mr. Yan criticized us, he also didn't show mercy."
"He should just never have thought that he should pay attention to these, just like our master." Qi Shu sighed:
"Master teaches and lectures, and even he has to pay for it, but Mr. Yan doesn't take any money. He is so kind and generous. He is a real gentleman!"
"Brother Zheng, don't think too much." Qi Shu stood up and patted Zheng Tianyan on the shoulder.
Zheng Tianyan thought that he was going back to his room, but he called the book boy and told him: "Go and tell the shop waiter to order a better breakfast for Mr. Yan. He is not in good health and needs more supplements."
The book boy nodded in agreement, Qi Shu smiled in satisfaction, turned around and said, "Brother Zheng, I'm going back to my room first." Then he left gracefully.
Zheng Tianyan: "..."
no? ?Didn't you still say that Yan Chen was poor like me before? ?
When did you suddenly change your mind? !
Zheng Tianyan's heart aches for his friend's betrayal.
When he returned to his room at night, he couldn't help but said to Cousin Zheng: "Qi Shu's family is rich, so I don't know what Yan Chen thinks."
"If I were him, I would definitely be paid."
The general examination is for students selected from all over the country for common reference.The further you go, the more people you can beat with one ranking.
Zheng Tianyan sighed, and resignedly picked up the scroll: Yan Chen can sleep, but he can't.
Cousin Zheng also sighed inwardly when he saw him calm down.
He really wanted to tell his cousin, "Because of this, you are not Mr. Yan", but after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would go home and complain, so he kept silent.
Several examinees have their own troubles, but these have nothing to do with Yan Chen.
He really didn't want to be lazy these few days, but as he crossed the region, he was not acclimatized to the environment, and he was already weak. If he hadn't hid in the carriage all day long and had a bowl of ginger soup from time to time, he might really have a cold.
Giving lectures to Shi Huaiguang and others is not only an adjustment, but also a pavement for the future.
However, he really didn't expect that he would be able to change the inn before the eldest sister's financial assistance arrived.
This was a pleasant surprise for Yan Chen—as for the acting skills of Qi Shu and the others, don't mention it.He kept hypnotizing himself in his heart before he could barely believe it.
I almost couldn't sleep on such a warm quilt.
Yan Chen rubbed the soft quilt in her hand and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, as usual, he didn't get up until everyone else had finished their breakfast and read for a while.
The rooms in the inn have small beds for servants and servants to sleep in, but Geng Ming is not there, Yan Chen is fully dressed, pushes the door out, and bumps into him head-on.
"My lord, Miss sent someone to send a letter back!"
Yan Chen looked sideways, and behind Geng Ming, stood a familiar man. The man was dusty and cold, and his eyes were full of tiredness. It was obvious that he had just arrived not long ago.
"Xu An?" Yan Chen was a little surprised, and invited him in.
Xu An handed the letter to him.
Yan Chen unfolded the letter, read it carefully, and couldn't laugh or cry.
"You used to go out and never sent me a letter. Now it's rare to know the world and you still know how to care about me. I'm very relieved, so I sent you some silver taels, but Mo Xiang was very scared."
"She asked me: Young Master, has he been bullied? I told her that your young master has nothing to do with his body, and only his talents and looks are worth a lot. He was bullied, either by a female bully, or by a female bully. In the end, I became a little Zhima official, and my talents were not appreciated."
"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it."
——This is just a small paragraph in the letter, the rest are in normal tone, as the eldest sister cares and reminds the younger brother.
However, when Yan Chen faced this passage, he felt ironed in his heart:
Yan Lingchuan seemed to be stabbing him, but he was actually telling him: she sent the money because he knew that he cared about his sister and was pleased;
If he doesn't pass the exam, it's okay to just be a little sesame official—it's tens of millions of times better than their current business status.
As for being snatched away by a female bully...
Yan Lingchuan had always hoped that when her adoptive brother got married and had a child, she would take one to raise him.
If he was really robbed to be the husband of the village, wouldn't that be considered a grievance to her?
