A little sweet through the fragrant

I didn't chat until late at night, so I went to bed after packing up.

The next day, Ye Cunshan went out with his new schoolbag on his back, heading towards Du Zhichun's house a little earlier than usual, just to show off.

Cunyin hid behind his back and laughed at him, thinking it was a good idea.

After dinner, Yuncheng and Cunyin went out together.

He planned to go to the tailor shop to pull some cloth, buy some colored embroidery thread and bring it to the shop to fish.

He also needs to buy some fabrics for saving silver. He has made a lot of baby clothes recently, and the fabrics and threads are all gone.

Yuncheng asked him if he would still buy gold and silver thread, and he didn’t want to save silver, “It’s very difficult to sew, and the rich people in Fucheng are not as many as I thought. Rich people dare not buy, and those who dare to buy don’t have so much silver. I observed in the shop for quite a while, and I also heard shopkeeper An tell me about the price of baby clothes, and I was afraid that the baby clothes would fall into my hands, and they would be sold at a lower price later on.”

The cost of the gold thread and silver thread has been earned back, but the price has not risen much, and the profit is very thin.

It can only be said that he can use this to practice his hands and know the feel of gold and silver threads, which is not too bad.

There are few people in the shop in the morning, and Yuncheng and Cunyin are both knowledgeable. They don't need much introduction from the clerks, just feel the material and look at the thread, and you will know what you want.

Chu Yin is outside now, and he doesn't talk about everything. He is still lively, but he rarely talks about family affairs.If you want to talk about it, let's talk about the craftsmanship and the customers, so the people in the shop know that he learned embroidery and tailoring from his sister-in-law at home, but they don't know who it is.

I heard that Cunyin was called Yuncheng's sister-in-law, someone looked over and saw that Yuncheng was young, handsome and bookish, he didn't regard him as a tailor, and was busy with himself.

After Chuyin started to tailor clothes for customers, he didn't go beyond that. The clothes were well made and he didn't slack off. Shopkeeper An was willing to sell him a favor.

This piece of rag happens to be used by Yuncheng as a color block for sewing, so you don't need to order or buy it if you choose it well.

Let Yuncheng take the things back together, and it will be easier to deposit the silver and go home.

After he left, someone in the shop asked Cunyin, "How many sister-in-laws do you have?"

If it was in the village, there would be countless sisters-in-law who saved money, but in Fucheng, of course there was only Yun Cheng.

After further questioning, many tailors were unconvinced when they learned that Cunyin was taught by Yuncheng, "He is so young, can he write scripts and embroider clothes?"

Cuyin rolled his eyes.

What is this? His sister-in-law can also knit sweaters, draw pictures, and make paper!

He didn't tell anyone about these things, so he just laughed silly and said, "Yes, my sister-in-law is very powerful."

Among the craftsmen, they wanted to communicate, but they were afraid that they would be stolen. They stopped talking for a long time, and no one continued to talk.

Cunyin doesn't mind either, if there are guests, he will look for work, if there are no guests, he will do his own work.

Yun Cheng did the same when he went to the shop. After looking around and asking around, he went to find an empty seat among the painters.

Their office is not good in the front, but they cleared a room in the back, which is cooler than the front.

Coming over today, Qingyang showed Yuncheng the part they had finalized earlier.

Due to schedule issues, they only produce so much every day, and sometimes they are strict, and there is not a single manuscript a day, and these drawings are all seen by Yuncheng.

Now it is a refined line draft, and the lines are also filled in, so the overall look will be more comfortable.

The last "Wang Family Village" was written by Yuncheng Yuxi, and he was the lead writer again, and the lines were all done by himself.

This time "Marriage in the Dark" captured Liu Wenbai's young man and asked him to fill in the lines, the style is very close to the original manuscript.

There are two episodes in the middle that are not connected well enough. After Yuncheng pointed out, it depends on whether to add a picture or redraw the plot, and nothing else.

Qingyang put the manuscript on the table, knocked it back together neatly, and asked Yuncheng, "Aren't you going to help today?"

Yuncheng said, "I'll just sit here, just call me if you need anything."

He doesn't do regular work, but goes where there is work.

After this part is finalized, he can let this small team run by itself without taking the initiative to help.

If there are problems, we should explore first, and if there are difficulties, we should first discuss and solve them, and then we will run in more. When he does not participate in the future, this department will be able to operate independently.

Qingyang brought the news to Qian Manying.

Qian Manying thought about it, we have worked together for several months, and there is still some trust, so I told the other painters directly, if I have any questions, I can ask, but I have to think about how to deal with it first, and then ask if I can't think of it.

With this arrangement, Yuncheng will not care about the other side of the book, and there will be more time for fishing.

There is also the treasurer Jin who is also free to fish.

Liu Wenbai has good adaptability and is already able to take care of most of the things in the shop. Now he is mainly used to cover the bottom line, and he is too busy to help out. He is usually like Yuncheng, and will not take the initiative to do the work.

When they are idle, the two idlers gather together.

Yuncheng Embroidery can also chat, which does not affect the chattering of shopkeeper Jin.

He hasn't been home for many years, and he can't hide his miss when talking about his family.

Talk about the parents, wife and children at home, and also talk about the side dishes that are often eaten at home, and how the family lived in summer in previous years.

He told Yuncheng, "Actually, it's better to live in Fucheng."

More money and less work, the master is not strict.

Like Kyoto, as the shopkeeper, he rarely has holidays, and basically stays in the shop all year round, but because Yuncheng will promote the management, everyone has their own division of responsibilities and clear positioning.After the division, he will be relaxed, and if there is a problem, he can quickly trace it to the source, which is much easier than in Kyoto.

Thinking of going to the capital in the future and still working under Yun Cheng, he couldn't help laughing, "My old buddies are going to envy me."

Yuncheng told him not to rush to find someone and said, "There is no one in the capital, and only a group of managers have been cultivated here in Fucheng. When the time comes, it depends on the situation. You have to be busy first and stay in the shop. I will find someone slowly."

Shopkeeper Jin said that even though it was the same as before the training class, he felt much more relaxed.

"Other houses are all personally reviewed by the shopkeeper. There are reviewers, and they are not in the shop."

Yun Cheng knew that when he first went to Du's study to submit articles, it was the shopkeeper who read them, and then Du Zhiqiu read them.

While chatting, Liu Wenbo touched over and saw that they were idle, so he divided two small baskets of letters and came to catch the strong men.

This, a basket of letters is about writing-related questions, which were selected by He Quan and the others. It is difficult to answer them because they are afraid of misleading people. Let Yun Cheng read them.

The other basket is letters written by readers, show it to Shopkeeper Jin, if you want to reply, and how to reply.

Yuncheng is interested in readers' letters, and there is no online feedback. To listen to readers' voices, he has to wander the streets and alleys by himself, and go to taverns and teahouses, which is very inconvenient.

Putting down the embroidery samples and ignoring the questions, Yuncheng opened some letters from readers.

Read it and write back.

In ancient times, sending a letter was expensive and the journey was long, so it was not easy to send a special letter.

He wrote two or three letters himself, and the rest were ghostwritten by Jin Treasurer and Shu Tong.

The replies are short, some are short jokes, some are blessings.

Answering letters, answering questions about letters, and helping the painters were all things he did slowly, without pushing himself too hard. At the end of the month, when he finished his embroidery, Ye Cunshan took a rest again, and he followed suit.

When he is busy, he doesn't pay attention to etiquette. Ye Cunshan's birthday this year is simple. The family eats cakes and makes wishes together. Ye Cunshan eats a lot and gets a bowl of longevity noodles.

Yuncheng gave him two embroidery samples, both of which were not given on his birthday, so it would be nice to have one.

Today is a rest, Ye Cunshan will not go to the exam, but practice calligraphy at home and meditate.

Xiumu was like this twice in a row, Yuncheng asked him if he had something on his mind, Ye Cunshan said that the exam was coming soon, he was surrounded by candidates, and there were many candidates in Fucheng, so it would always be affected.

Many people take the exam more than once, and the number of people who are passed every year is unknown.

Walking outside, you can always hear scholars chatting, most of them are talking about exams.

The same is true in the government school, even the scholars from other academies who are acquainted with each other can't avoid meeting each other, and they all revolve around this topic.

Ye Cunshan asked Mr. Peng that the level of his writing is still stable, and his writing style does not seem to be impetuous, and he is not deeply affected by this atmosphere.

He didn't want this little thing to affect him in the dark. Even if the usual study tasks were heavy, he always had to write a few more pages on holidays to cultivate his character.

It's a good thing not to be affected, Yuncheng dare not say too much.

Sometimes numbers can also bring people anxiety. In August, the township examination, in May, he can be busy with his own work, in June, he can fish while working, and in July, it is difficult for him to calm down.

The script that he put in the memo, he can write it or not, he hides it for Ye Cunshan to read, and he is not in a hurry to finish it.

Seeing that the time was approaching, he also felt a sense of urgency, and the pressure suddenly increased. He didn't dare to talk in front of Ye Cunshan, so he wanted to find a place to vent his emotions. Rido is busy.

When Yuncheng was asked, how could he dare to tell the truth.

In July, Cunyin also quit his job.

In the last month, he will stay at home to support his eldest brother, and the summer is coming to an end. The information he should collect is almost the same, so he can quit.

The summer and winter seasons in Fucheng are long. Referring to the weather in previous years, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will still be autumn tigers. It will take September to be cool for a few days, and then the rainy season will usher in, and then the temperature will drop suddenly.

Shopkeeper An used this reason to keep the silver, and wanted him to work on it for a while, and it would not be too late to leave in August, after all, the exam was not in early August.

Cunyin is willing to listen to him, his brother Jackie Chan's dream is close at hand, who wants to be a little tailor bitterly.

Now it is necessary to start nourishing the stomach and taste, so that Ye Cunshan can eat light meals, and change the problem that he can only swallow after a meal with spicy food. He is afraid that the taste will be affected during the exam, and he has been eating badly, and even suffers.

I am also afraid of eating bad stomach, it is better to go hungry.

It's still early, and I can reduce one spicy dish a day, and then one less spicy dish a day, and less the next day.

Ye Cunshan said that there is no need to bother, and he can do whatever he wants.

Yun Cheng said that he would pull cotton cloth to make him an inner coat, and he could change it at that time, but Ye Cunshan said no, saying that he hadn't been rough before, and he didn't take a bath for a few days to change his clothes.

After being taken care of for so long, I forgot what kind of person I am.

Yuncheng said to him, "You used to be able to endure hardships, and you have endured hardships. There must be times when you don't change your clothes or take a bath for ten and a half months, but look at you now. You can't stand the sweat. I tell you to wait." You don’t listen to the hot water, just pour a bucket of well water on your body, and bring clothes to give you comfort, and you can only bathe with sweat.”

Ye Cunshan: "..."

He's feeling sick now and wants to take a bath.

Cunyin also said, "I used to stew brains for you, and you can eat clear soup, but now you don't want to add spicy food."

Ye Cunshan: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

He still needs to take care of his health when he goes to school. He talked about it at home today, but he didn’t really cook it. On the first day of saving money and resigning from work, he made some delicious dishes that were heavy in oil and spicy.

After serving the table, I asked my brother and sister-in-law to eat more, "For a while, you won't be able to eat like this."

Yun Cheng wanted to say that he didn't need it.

Noticing that Ye Cunshan was looking at him, he closed his eyes and endured it.

Husband and wife are one, and we share difficulties together. If you don’t eat spicy food, don’t eat spicy food.

It's painful to say, but in fact, during the process of reducing day by day, Cuyin did not reduce the dishes directly, but gradually reduced the degree of spiciness.

It's a hot day, and there is soup for every meal, and mung bean porridge, which is not spicy.

The transition from here has been well received by the family.

Seeing that the grown-ups were eating the same food as hers, Yuanyuan asked curiously as there were no more colorful and flavorful dishes on the table.

They all followed Yuanyuan's words, saying that they wanted to eat the same food as her, and Yuanyuan was very happy.

Up to this month, Yuncheng rarely came to talk to Yuncheng about the chores in the shop, for fear that he would be annoying.

Yun Cheng was idle, but the pressure was even greater. In comparison, Ye Cunshan, a candidate, was not as nervous as him.

Then in early August, when everything was in place, he had profuse diarrhea.

It seems to be "examination phobia". Many candidates have a poor mental state before entering the examination room, and this will happen.

After Yuncheng came here, the few times he fell ill was accompanied by diarrhea.

He has a thin skin and can hardly bear the smell on his body.

Especially now that it is hot, a little bit of bad smell will be fermented.

He also has the attribute of a little crying bag. Being sick only makes him weak, but the psychological discomfort makes him unable to hold back tears.

Ye Cunshan wiped his face with a handkerchief and told him not to take it seriously, "I didn't say anything."

Yun Cheng didn't even want him to be in front of him.

A very strange psychology, with him, he was uncomfortable, felt very ashamed and embarrassed.

If he wasn't with him, he was going up and down again, thinking wildly.

I thought the same way last time, but deep down I still rely on more.

But right now, Ye Cunshan should focus on studying.

There are still a few days to take the exam.

Thinking of this, Yuncheng felt uncomfortable.

Ye Cunshan said: "Just pretend that you are nervous for me."

If Ye Cunshan was really nervous, Yun Cheng would have listened to this comfort, but he was not.

Yuncheng ordered him to bring the medicine, "I'll drink it quickly."

Try to do well before the exam, so as not to worry Ye Cunshan.

Ye Cunshan asked him if he was afraid of failing the exam.

Yun Cheng glared at him, not allowing him to say such unkind words.

Ye Cunshan thinks it's okay, "Don't compare with people from other places. The best academy in Ju'an Prefecture is Fuxue. I am the first to enter the school, and I have been in the top three in the exam so far. Even if I can't apply the imperial examination results, I can still be a A reference. Just like what Mr. Du said before the government examination, sometimes knowledge and skills are enough, and you have to be lucky to see if you can meet an examiner who likes this style of writing. Just study for three years."

If he hadn't written "Yan Yu Ji" and read it for another three years, he might lose his psychological balance and be unable to eat soft meals.

With his works and the ability to earn money, the pressure of studying is less. At least he is not someone who puts all the burdens of his family on Fu Lang.

Seeing his clear eyes and calm expression, Yun Cheng loosened the tension in his mind, "Well, let's just work hard."

His illness this time can be regarded as a heart disease.

The knot in the heart is solved, and the body will be fine.

It still looks weak, but a few days before the exam, I was able to go out of the yard and check the exam basket with me to see if I had brought all the relevant items.

The old exam basket, I used it for the exams before, everything went smoothly and nothing was broken, so Ye Cunshan used it whenever he wanted.

For this exam, I have to stay in the exam room for about ten days, eating and drinking.

Knowing that the inspection is strict, the food may be unpalatable even if it touches his hands, so Chu Yin also made him strong pancakes and cut pieces of jerky.

If you can bring it in, you can bring it in. If you can’t, it’s another story.

A lot of broken silver and copper plates have been exchanged, which can only solve the problem of eating and drinking.

Yun Cheng had seen the test shed, it was much smaller than he imagined, it was built by himself, and Ye Cunshan didn't make it bigger, so he had to squeeze into a small cubicle to get used to the environment.

It's okay to stay for one day, but after ten days, people's bones are going to be sore.

So after he recovered from his illness, Yuncheng also insisted on giving Ye Cunshan a massage and stepping on his back to loosen his muscles and bones, so that he would feel better later.

Count the days, and when he comes out, he can take a good bath and wash, and he can continue to press.

Ye Cunshan said that Yuncheng was like offering to his ancestors.

Yuncheng remembered an Internet buzzword: If you are admitted to xx school, you will start writing the genealogy from my generation.

He said to Ye Cunshan, Ye Cunshan couldn't help but smile, "I can't do it, even if I am admitted to the first prize, I have to go back and kowtow to my ancestors, thanking them for their protection."

Yun Cheng: "If there is a champion, you can kowtow."

In the previous few exams, Yuncheng was not so nervous. He said that he would accompany the exam, but in fact he couldn't get up in the middle of the night.

Struggling to get out of the bed, walking is also trembling, as if about to faint.

In the past, he thought that the provincial examination would go to Kyoto, and said that he would accompany him no matter what, but he didn't expect it to be Fucheng.

He told Ye Cunshan to wake up and call him. Ye Cunshan was sick because of it a while ago, Ye Cunshan didn't feel sorry for it, so he called him when he needed to, so that Yuncheng would not wake up and think about it. After that, he would not see each other for ten and a half months, and he couldn't be coaxed. Don't get sick again.

Yuncheng just wasn't used to staying up late, so when he woke up, he could go out to brush his teeth and wash his face by relying on willpower.

He asked Aunt Pingzhi to make tea, and after washing up, he poured three cups to refresh himself.

He was more distracted than Yuncheng when he prepared the breakfast deposit, so he didn't fall asleep at night.

I used to be full of energy, if I had nothing to do, I could chat with people all night, and now I look energetic, not like a person who stays up all night.

Yuncheng sighed: "It's nice to be young."

Then we ate egg pancakes and vegetable soup together, until we were full, and then took a food box to go out.

Du Zhichun was sent by Rou Niang today, and he knew that Yun Cheng and the others would go, so he dared to come out.

Wait in the alley, Qingyang also sent Luo Xu over.

Wait a little longer on the main road, Boss Xie brought Xie Yanqing along.

A group of people want to thank the boss for his tea stand.

With a lot of money, it is difficult to buy a stall next to the Gongyuan. He rented a tea stall with a lot of money. The location is very good. He told a few acquaintances in advance that he could sit at the tea stall and wait for the roll call.

There are lanterns on the road, there are many candidates, and there are many lanterns. The night is illuminated, so you don't have to stare at the road under your feet.

When it came time to enter the arena, the topics of their chat became more relaxed. They chatted about food and drink, talked about what they brought, and prayed that they would not be assigned to the examination room near the toilet.

Cunyin chatted with Xie Yanqing and asked him how to find the test booth this time.

Xie Yanqing said that he went to the yamen to ask, but if he didn't know the way, he could ask a small official to guide him.

"When I enter the examination room, he will take me to the examination room. When I leave the examination room, he will take me to see the examiner."

You can't just throw it halfway.

Cunyin was afraid that he would be put on small shoes. If a small official tied him up behind his back, saying that he was sneaky and suspected of cheating, wouldn't it be over?

Xie Yanqing said: "I asked him to buy food, a pancake, others bought it for 20 taels at most, and I gave [-] taels."

Cuyin: "Okay, can you bring ingots in again?"

Xie Yanqing said it was all broken silver, "That's the only way."

What a pity.

For large-scale exams, I would rather arrive early and wait for the opening than to be late at home.

They have a tea stall this time, and the wait is not difficult.

The surroundings are noisy, so you should also pay attention to the movements in the Gongyuan. After you are seated, you eat and drink, but basically don't say a few words.

When the roll call started, Ye Cunshan and the other candidates passed by alone, they didn't dare to relax, they listened from a long distance, and arrived at the roll call.

After hearing all the familiar names, he relaxed his tense body, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

They didn't leave in a hurry, and waited until the tribute courtyard was closed, and the vendors outside and the examinee's family gradually dispersed, and then went home with the crowd.

This time, Qingyang was the most relaxed.

Once Luo Xu admits that he did not do well in the exam and realizes the reality of running with him, his mentality is very stable.

He doesn't have to worry about his future, he will be light when he sends someone into the arena.

Rou Niang followed behind and asked Yun Cheng about their moving plan.

"Are you going to leave after posting the list? Let's make an appointment together?"

Rouniang asked this because she was very confident that Du Zhichun would pass the exam. Yuncheng first answered auspicious words of congratulations, and then asked her how to get home.

Whether it is moving house or preparing for a short-term exam.

Rou Niang said it was a short-term preparation for the exam, "My family is complicated, and I have to wait until the end of his imperial examinations to decide where to live."

There are few things to accompany the exam for a short period of time. Yuncheng and the others moved, and they rented a big boat, so they can go with them.

But Rou Niang said that they only go together, not on a boat.

"When we go to Kyoto, we need to prepare gifts for the grandfather, and we bring a lot of things."

This ceremony, on the one hand, is filial piety, and on the other hand, it is the hope that the direct line of Kyoto can give Du Zhichun something to say.

Yuncheng understood, "We rented the boat in advance. If it's fast, we'll set off in September, if it's slow, it'll be October. After all, this year is the New Year in Kyoto. We'll pack up and make an appointment with each other on a date."

There is a rainy season in September, and they want to avoid it.

I really passed the exam, and I still have a teacher thank you wine to invite, and there will be a lively entertainment here in Fucheng.

Chatting all the way, when he got home, Yun Cheng realized that he was also brought up by Rou Niang to be so confident, and he planned everything as if Ye Cunshan would pass the exam.

This thought prevailed, and he was relieved.

No wonder it is said to be confident and not negative.

The author has something to say:

qwq There is a power outage at home during the day, and I only started writing at night. I will add so much for the time being. I will write more when I wake up.

Good night, readers!
