A little sweet through the fragrant

Based on Ye Cunshan's impression of the public scholars, he thinks it is feasible.

Pen pals, pen pals, friends through writing.

With such an opportunity to show off, you can't show off your skills in writing letters. How can you be so literary and sour?

With Cheng Wenjie's current style of writing letters, he will be able to get along like a duck to water.

After all, there is no shortage of money for sending letters at home. He casts a wide net and can get a lot of pen pals.

It was Cheng Wenjie's first time doing this, and he didn't know what to do.

If you want to write a letter from Ye Cunshan, ask him to check it out.

He has watched the pen pal solicitation activity many times.

The first group was people who wanted to make pen pals, such as Cheng Wenjie, who took the initiative to send a letter to Huaben Shop, leaving a brief introduction and where to get the letter.

The location is a small shop in Kyoto, and I know the family background.

Ye Cunshan asked him to write the introduction in a little vernacular first, "Leave a little bit of literary words on it, it seems that you don't have enough knowledge, you are trying to make up."

The reason is that most people want to hit the ground running and find someone who is inferior to them in all aspects to make gestures.

Few of them don't mind. Seeing that he writes sincerely, he will be willing to try correspondence.

Cheng Wenjie hadn't written vernacular written language for a long time, so he asked Ye Cunshan to revise it for him.

After the modification, he still didn't go back to his room, looking awkward.

Ye Cunshan asked him if he was staying in Lanyuan tonight, Cheng Wenjie shook his head and asked him, "I think you guys are having a good time in Fucheng, do you think I can go south with you to live in Ju'an Mansion for a while this year?"

Kyoto is lonely.

The cousin who used to love to take him to play went to Huaicheng, and it seems that he will not come back this year.

Other friends may not have been in touch for a long time, Cheng Wenjie said: "They used to make fun of me on purpose, I don't like them."

He was born in the same year as Cunyin, a month older than Cunyin.

Cunyin only talked like this last year, but this year he seems to be the big brother, talking in a routine, not as petty as before.

Cheng Wenjie's family background is good, and he has always been pampered and raised by his family, and he can still talk petty things even now.

Ye Cunshan didn't feel disgusted, and had a long-lost kindness.

In this cold weather, after half a night of talking with him by candlelight, I realized that Cheng Wenjie made himself a "lonely man".

In the past, there were not many true friends around me, and most of them had contacts because of their family background.

Later, when he found out their contempt and contempt, Cheng Wenjie couldn't bear it anymore.

The circle in Kyoto is so big, he is here at this age, he can't meet other playmates, and he doesn't have many opportunities to go out and have a look. He has been detained by Cheng Taishi for a long time, and his personality has changed from being arrogant and sensitive to being a little depressed now. .

He doesn't expect Ye Cunshan to help him solve the problem. Now his mentality is very similar to that of saving money. As he grows up, he has deepened his understanding of various aspects and understands that there are some things that he can no longer say casually to others, and some things cannot be relied on to be favored at home. Do it regardless of the consequences.

He just said a few words to people because Ye Cunshan didn't stay in the capital for a long time, and he didn't have the temperament to talk nonsense everywhere.

Ye Cunshan said it was difficult to go to Fucheng, "Don't you have anything you particularly like?"

Cheng Wenjie frowned, "I have been bumping here and there since I was a child."

All of them were abandoned halfway, and it would be difficult for him to pick them up now.

Ye Cunshan can understand his mentality, and it is a bit of a burden on him.

It’s okay to eat the reverting grass, but I’m afraid that if you eat the reverting grass and don’t do it well, you will be laughed at.

He is very patient with his younger brother, talks seriously about these major life events, and can guide him slowly.

Because Ye Cunshan didn't know what Cheng Wenjie had learned before, so after counting everything down, it was Cheng Wenjie's own feelings and evaluations on this matter, not Ye Cunshan looking at this matter with his own eyes.

He discovered a blind spot.

"Do you like watching other people take exams?"

Cheng Wenjie rubbed his nose, "Because I hate exams..."

Ye Cunshan asked him if he had heard of the mock examination room.

There are mock examination rooms in Jinghe Village and Yuxian County.

It has not been popularized in other places, and the land price in Kyoto is expensive, and most people can't afford to drive it. They come to Kyoto to rush for the exam, and there is no need to put pressure on the front. No one has done this yet.

If you want to make money, think about it comprehensively.

Just looking for something to do, distracting attention, and being able to go out of the house to deal with people more, this is very suitable.

The mock examination room was opened, and the most contacted people were still studious students, and the Grand Master's Office would not stop them.

He also briefly explained to Cheng Wenjie the concept of the test paper that Yuncheng taught him, which made the child's eyes light up, and it seemed that he was going to stay up all night, trying to figure it out.

Ye Cunshan asked him to go back to rest first, "Replenish your energy to do things well."

It was cold in winter, and they sat at the warming table with a charcoal stove next to it, but it was not enough to keep out the cold.

Being reminded, Cheng Wenjie became cold-hearted.

He was domineering again, "My father asked me to entertain you these few days, you should have nothing else to do? Can you tell me about this matter?"

Ye Cunshan is fine.

After Cheng Wenjie left, he cleaned up the paper and pens spread out on the table, got up early the next day, took advantage of nothing to find him at home, and started writing to Yuncheng.

There must be a diary-type letter, as well as a letter that will be taken after two years.

When he was on the boat, he thought a lot, and now he writes smoothly.

Is a deceptive thing, will choose good words.

The biggest expectation of the couple is actually that Yuanyuan can become whiter, and the road ahead will be smoother and smoother.

But Ye Cunshan didn't have much hope when he saw Yuanyuan's skin color change this year. He didn't want to poke people's hearts two years later, so he didn't write about it.

Write down your expectations for Yuanyuan's character.

Others are a family of four with a few words, I hope everyone is well.

Before Cheng Wenrui's wedding ceremony, Ye Cunshan and Cheng Wenjie negotiated the simulated examination room.

Because Cheng Wenjie was in high spirits and showed great interest, when Cheng Wenrui was so busy, he even came to Ye Cunshan to learn more about it.

What Ye Cunshan told him was about Ye Yan, Luo Xu and Xiaohu's performance in the simulated examination room. The results were secondary, but the atmosphere.

Cheng Wenrui himself is in Kyoto, and in addition to the provincial examination and palace examination, Kyoto also has the normal local imperial examination process.

He has seen a lot and knows the influence of mentality.

After careful questioning, knowing that it was Yun Cheng's idea, he was stunned for a while, "My cousin has a lot of ideas."

When asked about Yun Cheng's studies, the two shook their heads at each other.

Before getting married, he was so busy that he really didn't have time to talk about the family affairs. After this matter was finished, he asked Ye Cunshan to take care of it. When it was over, he would invite Ye Cunshan to drink again.

The end of the year in Kyoto is no different than that in the countryside. When the village is slack, it is the busiest time in Kyoto.

Cheng Wenrui was able to choose this day to get married. In a way, it was also because he was really busy all year round. He could find some free time by clenching his teeth and squeezing.

Ye Cunshan asked him to go to work, and he himself visited Mr. Peng's house before the wedding ceremony.

Then came the wedding day.

The rich and powerful gathered.

The Cheng family's juniors of the right age have to entertain guests, this is an opportunity to expand their network.

The year before last, Cheng Wenhao, who was studying with Ye Cunshan, was very busy this year because Cheng Wenrui got married and invited many classmates from the Imperial College.

Cheng Wenrui was not there, mainly because he was entertaining.

Ye Cunshan was arranged at the relatives table, Cheng Wenjie sat next to him, and there were several children younger than Cheng Wenjie sitting at the same table.

Said to be the bastard of the Cheng family.

The girl and brother are the hostesses in the backyard.

Ye Cunshan listened to Cheng Lifeng, he didn't need to be too restrained, but he didn't go against his will, he chatted and drank with the people at the same table, and didn't mind that they were young.

He used to love to tease Cunyin, but later he would tease Yuncheng and Yuanyuan, and he said a lot of things out of his mouth. The children at the same table were coaxed very happily, and the guests were suitable.

On the day Cheng Wenrui got married, something happened in Fucheng.

Yuanyuan cried.

It has been better for a while, I can coax her to laugh every day when I play with her, she seems to be fine, but when I was having lunch at noon, I shed tears without warning, saying that I missed my father.

Crying until Yuncheng's heart ached, he didn't deliberately use the person she couldn't distinguish to go around her, saying that Ye Cunshan would go home in a few days, and counted the days with her while holding his little round hand.

Tianqing would take her out to play, and usually wandered around the alleys, she already had the concept of going home.

Knowing that it's almost time, it's time to go home.

Home is where she lives now, with people she likes.

Yuncheng slowly taught her the concept of distance.

It's like playing in an alley, saying go home, and you will be home within a few steps.

Go to Liu Xiaotian's house, go to the shop, go to the opera garden, these places are said to be back, even if they are far away, it will take half an hour.

"Your Dashan Daddy went a little far away, and it will take a few days before he can come back."

Because the farthest she is going home is also when it is dark, this is the only way she can understand the time when she is going home.

She coaxed her well during the day, but at night, she unexpectedly made a mistake and brought Yuanyuan back to her former state.

When the sky became dark, she felt restless, her big eyes were about to look out the door, thinking that Ye Cunshan was about to come back.

All the things she can understand at present have been moved to the table.

No matter how incomprehensible, if you tell her too much, she will not say a word.

I still can't fully express my meaning, but my emotions are clear.

The small mouth was pursed, and the big eyes were watery.

Yun Cheng felt distressed when he saw it, no matter how much he coaxed Yuanyuan to cry, he could only hope that Ye Cunshan would come back earlier than the original scheduled return date after going out to take care of his home.

In December, snow falls more frequently.

The postman brother came to the house and asked him if he had any letters at home.

This is the treatment that can only be obtained by relying on the Cheng family, and it allows people from the official post to come to inquire.

They know what is good and what is bad, and they have refreshments every time.

Everything for Huaicheng was ready. Before depositing the silver, he said he was running out of time, so he only had time to prepare a sweater and wool trousers. Later, a set was ready, and he didn't wait for the messenger. He took time out every day to weave, and now he has two sets.

What Yuncheng sent to the other end were the sweaters he bought, all made by Liu Xiaotian, after all, only the third uncle wore them alone, so it was enough.

Others are very conventional, which are popular story books and picture books.

This time, the deposit bank took the initiative to ask, "It's almost the end of the year. Now that it's over, it should be a year later to receive the letter?"

The courier brother nodded, saying that in October and November, there were a lot of correspondence between Kyoto and Huaicheng.

At the end of the year, all kinds of things are heavy, and it is not easy to carry things when passing through Fucheng many times, so I didn't say anything.

Occasionally it was not due to urgent business, but also because someone in the capital had already added something to be sent to Huaicheng, and they couldn't bring another one, so they didn't mention it.

It's the end of the year now, and there are still official letters, but there are not many personal ones, so I can help out along the way.

Yuncheng asked Cunyin to get the reward silver.

The reward silver was taken out together when the things were packed, and it was put in the pocket, and it was just about to be sent out. A special reminder, it can only be said that the silver is added.

Saving the silver looked at the two small boxes outside, thinking about the generous appearance of the sister-in-law, and changed the original three taels of silver to ten taels.

When he gave it out, the postman brother smiled so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, he was obviously very happy.

This trip is a long way, and it will take more than two months.

It was very cold all the way, and it was okay to ride a horse alone, but it was always hard work to carry things.

It's as hard as piggybacking in normal times, and almost three or five is enough.

In the rush for the end of the year, when it’s time to celebrate the New Year, give away more, as a lottery, to make people happy and to do things smoothly.

This time, there are not many things. The sweaters take up space and require more people to take care of them.

After seeing off the postman brother, Cun Yin took a look at the seeds in the frozen soil.

well.

died.

He closed his eyes.

Today's letter is still a joke, and by the way, I told Lu Ying that sending a letter is really expensive.

"My monthly payment for half a year!"

Before Laba, the family has not been busy with the New Year.

Du Zhichun's family came to send a letter saying that he would go back to Yu County this year, so he came to his house to say something, and asked if there was anything he wanted to bring along.

The New Year gift for Jinghe Village has already been taken away by Xie's merchant ship. Yuncheng sewed a small dress for the baby of Du Zhichun's family, which is Baijia clothes.

I bought a lot of good cloth rags, and the baby of Liu Xiaotian's family also prepared two sets for the family.

Rouniang will go back this year, but she will not arrive in Fucheng until May or June next year.

After that, Yuncheng took a special time to visit with Yuanyuan and Cunyin, chatting for a long time.

Rou Niang's pregnancy condition is different from him and Liu Xiaotian's. In terms of the severity of individual symptoms, she is milder, but she has all the symptoms.

She went through all the uncomfortable things Yun Cheng and Liu Xiaotian experienced.

When the month is old, it is even more haggard.

Generally speaking, it is not a psychological factor. Going back to Yu County, going to my own home, and taking care of it for a while, maybe it will be fine.

Du Zhichun was able to give up her studies for her mainly because of her family background. He did not relax at all after studying in the government for two years. The family hired a husband for him, so he could have his own father and uncle to teach him.

There are officials in Kyoto, and the annual collection of ink ink collections and the collection of examination papers from all parties are faster than other houses. His self-study in the past few months is enough to consume.

After the child was born, he set off again to catch up with the scientific examinations in April and May.

Rou Niang lowered her eyes, "I hope we are lucky enough, and don't announce that the exam is in March."

The two exams of the year-old department are usually followed by the front and rear exams of the college exam.

The scientific examination is the qualification for the provincial examination. Students who want to take the entrance examination will participate, and those who do not take the examination will not participate.

Several consecutive sessions are around April. According to the rules of previous years, there may be changes.

Yuncheng reassured her, "We are far away from the capital. It will take time for adults to get here, and it will also take time for students from all over the world to rush to Fucheng. It will never be earlier than March."

She and Liu Xiaotian were conceived around the same date, and they were both expected to be born in early March. Du Zhichun could leave after the child was born.

Rou Niang can only think in a good direction now.

After leaving her house, Chu Yin found that Rou Niang was not as cheerful as before.

Rou Niang has always been very confident in chatting and doing things, and she is an open-minded woman in all aspects.

Facing the matter of having a child, I would also be afraid. No wonder Du Zhichun wanted to go home to accompany her.

Cunyin said that after looking at the couples around him, he suddenly felt that men were not delaying making money.

"It's also useful."

His thoughts changed so quickly that Yuncheng didn't even want to talk to him about men.

"Let's make money, what's so good about a man, look at your elder brother, go out for a while, what's going on at home."

Everything went smoothly at home, because of too much longing and small emotions.

Infected by Yuanyuan, but cannot spread this emotion to affect Yuanyuan.

I have endured so much, but I am too embarrassed to tell others.

Cunyin sighed, "It's okay, just go to Kyoto later."

December is the peak season for socializing, which can take most of Yuncheng's attention.

After Du Zhichun and his family packed up and prepared to go home, Liu Wenbai also came to say goodbye.

The first volume of his great adventure essay is confirmed, and the finalized opening chapter will be able to go home.

When he left, he was refreshed, and his things were packed in one box. He said he wanted to go home early, so he could see the marriage ahead of time.

He had already brought the rouge and gouache that Cunyin had chosen for him. Following Yuncheng's example, he also bought flower cakes and some fancy pastries for the family.

Yuncheng prepared a gift for him, a pair of silver bracelets.

In terms of the current family background, a pair of silver bracelets is not expensive.

In the eyes of the villagers, this gift is very generous.

Liu Wenbai can earn money by himself and knows how to measure it. He didn't want it at first, but Yun Cheng told him, "In the future, I will trouble you to be more distracted in this shop."

Liu Wenbai already knew what Yuncheng meant, and he didn't want it anymore after knowing it.

How to support him and give him gifts in return?

I just don't want this expensive stuff.

Yun Cheng: "I can still tell the difference between close and distant. If you want to be gentle with the courtesy, I'll ask someone to prepare it now."

Liu Wenbai didn't refuse.

After him, He Quan and Mu Hui also came over together.

He Quan lives in the local area, and Mu Hui lives in a county below Fucheng. The two of them also finalized the beginning of the draft, which needs to be reviewed by Yuncheng. After the end, they can concentrate on writing later at the end of the year.

It was the first time that Yuncheng knew the location of Mu Hui's home, so he told Mu Hui not to pay New Year's greetings, "You can talk about it in Fucheng after the New Year."

Mu Hui didn't plan to come out after spending the Lantern Festival at home this year. It was still the middle of the year and he would be able to visit.

He is very ambitious and wants to finalize the first volume before February, and release the outline and plot of the second volume by himself. It is best to complete the running-in and revision steps so as to prepare for next year's training.

He wants to be Yuncheng's assistant, and wants to have a place in Huaben Shop.

Yuncheng thought about it, the career development period is only one or two years, and if it is set in the future, it will be difficult to be promoted, so he nodded in agreement without saying anything.

The Huaben shop will give new year gifts to the scholars who often cooperate with each other. Yuncheng wants to bring them out as professional writers.

After this experience, I will collect and integrate the data in the future, and I will be able to write about other occupations.

This relationship needs to be maintained, and there is a separate gift preparation. After exchanging gifts, there is no need to come again until before the Chinese New Year.

In the end, Qingyang and Luo Xu came.

They finally decided not to go home for the New Year this year. Before coming to Yuncheng, they first visited Du Zhichun's house, gave the letter, put 20 taels of silver, and asked them to help bring it to Jinghe Paper Shop.

Qingyang is now the pillar of the family, not only his and Luo Xu's small family has to run and maintain daily expenses, but also the parents and siblings in the village have to take care of them.

In the village, there is no need to worry about food and drink, and there is a place to live.

It's just that after grandpa passed away, I always felt that my family was in decline.

He is promising, and his family can only stand in the village.

Luo Xu was very embarrassed, his face was red when he was with him.

Yuncheng saw him like this, so he didn't talk to him, and asked Cunyin to greet him first, and took Qingyang into the house to talk.

He was concerned about the relationship between the husband and wife, and was afraid that after Luo Xu came to Fucheng, he would be concerned about his status as a son-in-law, spend the money he was not used to Qingyang, and get angry at home.

Qingyang said no, "He's just thin-skinned. My recent paintings are one after another. I don't have time to spare. It hurts to see me busy."

It's a good thing to hurt people, and Yuncheng didn't seem like Qingyang would swallow his anger, so he immediately felt relieved.

Qingyang would chat with Yuncheng a few private words, probably because Luo Xu didn't want to touch him a while ago, he thought something was wrong, but it turned out that he was afraid of having children.

"Tell me that I have worked hard, and it will be even harder to have children."

The matter has been settled.

He got busy and didn't think about being pregnant for a long time.

Pregnancy mole is as light as ever, it can only be said to follow the fate.

If they don't go back to the village, they will be able to be together during the Chinese New Year this year.

The preparations for the new year's goods started after the Laba Festival, and Yuncheng asked him to go with him.

"I don't know if Cunshan can come back in time, let's make an appointment to buy together first."

They counted the days earlier, Ye Cunshan had to wait until mid-December, adding up to one month back and forth.

Qingyang saw Yuanyuan sitting on the kang, playing with dolls, and said to Yuncheng, "I think he should come back in a few days."

There are concerns at home, and the heart is like an arrow. If there are things that must be done, they must be done non-stop, and they will not procrastinate a little bit every day.

Yuncheng also had expectations in his heart when he heard it, but Ye Cunshan didn't come back until the Laba Festival.

After Laba, the shopkeepers of the two stores also began to ask Yuncheng to reconcile the accounts. The toy store was fine, and the number of each toy store was very clear. Doing basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, they can calculate clearly.

The storybook shop is much more complicated. The price of each storybook is different, and the number of people who come to test the draft is different each time. According to the clarity of the storyline of the storybook, the final price of the share is also different.

In the second half of the year, I will work alone, and this part will be counted again.

Yuncheng's arithmetic was already very good in ancient times, but it still hurts to see this thing.

He can keep the account book at home for a few days, as if he has finished reconciling the hard work, but he can't directly tell the treasurer Jin that he has not reconciled the account.

That's not how trust is given, so Yuncheng kept the account book at home, and called the deposit bank together, and counted as much as he could.

Cunyin likes to count money and settle accounts. After two days of calculations, he didn't get tired of it, so Yuncheng handed it over to him.

When the sky was clear, Qingyang came to ask them to go out shopping for new year's goods together.

There is no annual market in Fucheng, and there are many competing products in various shops, so the common people have room to choose.

If you buy more things, you can save a fraction, and the price is still the normal price.

They go out early, not crowded with others, so they can take Yuanyuan out.

Yuanyuan goes out to play more times now, she is no longer curious about everything, she wants to see everything.

Qingyang was so strong that he carried her along on the road.

There was no frequent contact for a while, and Yuanyuan saw him as unfamiliar.

It was still under the influence of Ye Cunshan, who did not have as much trust in people as before, and when he left Yuncheng's embrace, he was always afraid that Yuncheng would be lost too.

Yun Cheng was right next to him, holding his small round hand with half-raised hands.

When she got outside the Nanhuo shop, Yuanyuan stretched out her arms and called for her father.

When Yuncheng finally reached her limit, Qingyang would not let Qingyang hug her, and wanted to take her over, but when she changed, Yuanyuan still looked at the other side and stretched out her hand to call her daddy.

There were many people on the road, but Ye Cunshan's height and figure were really conspicuous.

Yun Cheng took a look over there, and he could see it.

People are still so individual, and I didn't see haggard or thin when I went to Kyoto.

It may be that I met someone I wanted to see, or that I had a new understanding in Kyoto this time, and my eyes were very bright.

What's strange is that the closer people approach him, the more Yuncheng can't see clearly, and his vision is blurred.

He didn't pay attention, Yuanyuan ran forward.

There are many people on the road, and she is so small, if she falls, she will be easily stepped on.

Yuncheng was so frightened that his heart stopped suddenly, and he immediately grabbed Yuanyuan.

Just when Ye Cunshan came up to him and squatted down, Yuanyuan was only one step away from throwing himself into Ye Cunshan's arms. She struggled twice but failed, so she cried out on the spot.

The author has something to say:

Coming!

Good night, readers!

See you tomorrow!

muah!
