A little sweet through the fragrant

It is necessary to maintain the relationship between relatives before coming to Kyoto. It is necessary to visit frequently.

According to the class schedule of the prefectural school, there will be rest, so it is acceptable for Ye Cunshan to come to Kyoto to study at the school.

Yuncheng and Cunyin still want to find their uncle to learn painting, and Ben is also coming.

It was just that he didn't think of this level before, so he didn't finish his sentence, and decided to go home and discuss it with Ye Cunshan.

The matter of preparing for the exam is like this for the time being, Yuncheng still wants to talk about the tailor shop.

He suddenly thought: "Wen Jie said that there are only three tailor shops in the capital. The clothes of these three shops are very expensive, right?"

Only do business with government officials and wealthy merchants, and the rest of the tailor shops can't squeeze in, so they can only do business with ordinary people.

Cheng Wenjie didn't say it was difficult to do business for ordinary people before, which means that there is a market in the capital.There are a large number of people, and the demand is great. If there are more tailor shops, there will be a source of customers and money.

It is the boundary of Kyoto, where there are many officials and noble people. Cheng Wenjie is a rich man, and all he comes into contact with is good things. His idea is to lean towards the best, ignoring the middle and low-level markets.

According to this, the pressure will be less.

According to their current plan, this might be a way.

Get a firm foothold first, and then do business in the upper market.

After Yuncheng had thought about the reasons, he used "being close to the people" to create momentum.

In the beginning, it was all men's clothing, but on the official side, it was Cheng Wenjie and cousin Lu Ying's.

When Cousin Wenrui comes back, he should be willing to help.

At the merchant's end, look at Xie Yanqing's contacts.

For scholars, it's up to Ye Cunshan and Du Zhichun.

At this point, it is really a matter after the exam is completely over. You can circle it first and use it as a goal.

Now let's see if the middle and low-level market can do it.

After being persuaded, Yuncheng was a little embarrassed to continue talking, "We just follow the preparations, and we won't completely focus on this. After the plan is made, we can make two more clothes when we are free."

To put it bluntly, this is worrying about Chuyin's marriage.

Considering his age, Yuncheng does not regret that he kept the child for two more years.

But in Kyoto, their family is too ordinary.

He would subconsciously ignore many things, but the truth was right in front of his eyes.

The legitimate son of a rich family always chooses a daughter of the right age to marry.

Younger brothers generally marry concubines, or marry lower down.

If they have more items in their hands, the advantage of depositing silver will be greater.

It is too much pressure to rely on Ye Cunshan to get good grades in the exam.

He has a plan and wants to choose from merchants.

Anyway, merchants can also take the imperial examination, and it is relatively easy to find similar conditions.

Ye Cunshan already has a reputation for raising people, so he can hold back in the future.

Now that I am preparing to open in the next year, I have a good shop in my hands, and I will work hard for a while, just in time for the meeting.

What happens if you wait until the exam is over?

It's the shop that prepares while depositing silver and looks at each other.

Isn't it shameful not to mention whether people plan to shop or not.

His shop is for depositing silver, and today we all know that depositing silver has not been married yet. If we want to talk about this, Mrs. Yu and the others will understand what Yuncheng means, and continue to talk about the shop with him.

It is possible to do business for ordinary people. The location of the store is good, the price is not too high, the craftsmanship is better, and you can earn some money every month.

Word of mouth goes up and you can earn more.

During this period of time, we will decorate the pavement and invite people.

The shopkeeper, the boy, and the tailor are all invited.

The shopkeeper has brought them back from the other side of Fucheng. He said he brought his son to work as a boy.

Yuncheng is not sure about hiring a tailor again, "The tailor shops I've been to all have their own craftsmanship, so it's hard to hire a master."

Cheng Yudie said it was not difficult, "Someone comes out of the palace every year, with good craftsmanship."

Mrs. Yu said that Lu Ying invited people to come to live at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

"If you are in a hurry, see you in two days."

Yun Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then was pleasantly surprised, "Have you found someone good, cousin?"

Cheng Yudie nodded with a smile, and smiled helplessly, "I am more secure in handling things than before, and I know how to take care of others. It is hard to get rid of this stubborn temper. His father told me that he has a better temper and is calm. I see that he hasn't changed at all, so he will be angry with me."

Because of the correspondence for several years, Lu Ying also became a pen pal with Cunyin. Yuncheng was very close to him, and asked if it was a relationship.

Not to mention that Cheng Wenjie, who was urged to get married, would get a headache when he heard the word "marriage", and Cheng Yudie, who urged others, couldn't hear the word "marriage".

"He promised to get married, but guess what he asked me for."

Yun Cheng lowered his eyes and thought.

This question is too broad to guess.

But before Lu Ying returned to Beijing, she planned to go for a walk in the dense forest. In the letter she wrote, there was yearning and heroism for the world.

Regardless of his previous personality and ideals, after staying in Huaicheng for at least three years, he will definitely not be satisfied with a blind marriage.

Try to get along with people, it's the basic condition, he might break up if he can't talk.

The folk customs in Kyoto are not comparable to Huaicheng, where there are brothers and sisters to try to get along with him.

He didn't say a word, and Cheng Yudie finished speaking by himself, "I asked his father to walk around with some subordinates. The children of the military commander's family should be released. I thought, if he wants to get along with him, then let's hang out together." I still don't believe that Wen Rui is going to go under him, after a few months, he doesn't have anyone to look up to."

"No, he just deliberately opposed me!"

Yuncheng was not easy to answer, so he nodded with a smile.

Cheng Yudie didn't want to talk about such a bad thing, so he told Yuncheng the exact number of people, and then asked him about the criteria for the handsome men and beautiful women he wanted to invite.

Beauty is easy to understand, "handsome guy" she said very strangely, Yuncheng said that he is a handsome man and beautiful woman, "good-looking, courageous, and talkative, I plan to invite them to show at the door with their clothes on."

It's not easy to recruit workers with stickers, a few people discussed, choose from the maids at home, and send them over when the time comes, and it will be better if they recruit people when they have momentum.

After this matter was finished, the stone fell to the ground in Yuncheng's heart.

Mrs. Yu handed him a piece of paper with the date written on it, "I asked someone to calculate it. These days are the best days to worship, and you won't offend your ancestors. The day of 28 is especially good, and your ancestors will bless you."

It's almost the end of the month, too long.

After the grave was moved, Yuncheng had been worshiping the memorial tablet all the time, and it was not appropriate to come to the capital and not be able to pay homage to his parents immediately.

For the blessing of an illusory ancestor, it will be delayed until next year when the weather will be colder and there will be a few heavy snowfalls.

Moreover, Ye Cunshan's surname is Ye, and there is no genealogy of the Cheng family. It is enough to have the blessing of the ancestors of the old Ye family, and one should not be too greedy.

Yuncheng chose the most recent day, the ninth day of November.

Come here today, the most important thing is these three things, after the negotiation is settled, it will be a daily routine.

As soon as the family talk is spoken, each avoids the marriage and does not mention it, and comes around the children.

The two cousins ​​Wenrui and Wenhao got married. Cousin Wenrui had a son first. He was a younger brother with a pregnancy mole like Yuncheng and a red tinge at the end of his eyes.

Because a tragedy happened to Cheng Taishi's younger brother, the child was only one year old, and the family began to worry.

Worried about education, I want to teach him to read, write and understand things normally, but I am afraid that if he reads too much, he will not be able to realize his ambition to become an official through the imperial examination, so he is depressed.

It's impossible not to teach. To teach a half-baked child is to raise and use the child on purpose. Wen Rui was the first to disagree.

Yu sighed: "Sorrow, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

Yun Cheng then understood that Yu's wrinkles were not all because of Wen Jie's marriage, but also because of worrying about his little grandson.

He has experience in this. He used to be worried about his round complexion, and he was anxious throughout the whole process. He shed tears many times, and now he can say a few words.

What they are talking about is Ye Cunshan's set, there are some things that cannot be changed, they have nothing to do as adults, they can only do their best to make up for it in another way.

Children should have a good attitude, be optimistic, open-minded, be able to resist when things happen, and not be vulnerable and go to extremes. If they are raised in this direction, they will have less worry when they grow up.

"Besides, people have their own aspirations, and not all talented people want to be an official. There is a scholar in my book shop. He has high talents and talents. The teachers who teach him praise him, but he didn't become an official. Just think about your own life."

This is Yuanmo.

To comfort others, talk about Yuan Mo and Liu Xiaotian.

This couple has suffered a lot, and now it is the end of their hardships.

Ordinary people live in one place all their lives, and their ancestors have not moved their nests for several generations, and it will be better and better without the two of them traveling around like this.

Yuncheng has writing skills, and he speaks it like a story. The plain tone of the story is full of traces of life and warmth.

After listening, Yu said, "I think Brother Chuan is a bit lazy and doesn't like to move. It's obvious that his parents are restless people..."

In any case, there is a direction, she knows what to do in the future, how to guide her, and she feels more at ease.

In winter it gets dark early, Yuanyuan sits on the couch to play, and falls asleep when it gets warmer.

Yun Cheng looked outside and felt that it was almost done, so he said that they would go back today and come back another day.

The Yu family sent someone to look at the study, Ye Cunshan was talking with Cheng Taishi about disaster relief.

We are talking about snow disasters. There have been two snowfalls in November this year, and there are still two cities in the north of Kyoto. It is estimated that it will not be good.

The news from all over the world is not as fast as that from Kyoto. The local students can hear some news, and the parents and elders are trying to figure out what to do about the snow disaster.

Rescuing people, sending food and cotton clothes, building sheds, cooking ginger soup, and strengthening defenses are the most basic.

Anyone who picks up a scholar will say the same.

Ye Cunshan has no experience in disaster relief, nor has he personally read it. The existing theories are taught by Mr. Peng, and various materials sent by Kyoto for reference.

Based on the improvement above, it has been discussed with Yuncheng.

Yuncheng is more theoretical than him. Fortunately, the modern world has the Internet to know the world's affairs. The motherland's action and cohesion in disaster relief are very strong. The army and the people are united. All kinds of news and popular science are well publicized. The couple combined the characteristics of ancient and modern disaster relief, after excluding some equipment, and then adjusted it according to the existing conditions. Ye Cunshan was able to discuss these things in depth with others without writing.

After today's chat, Grand Master Cheng looked at Ye Cunshan with a softer look, "I have worked hard in the past few years."

Don't take the ready-made things to memorize directly.

He said and looked at Cheng Lifeng, "Turn back and talk about Wen Hao, ask Wen Hao to talk to Cun Shan more about this."

Cheng Wenhao is studying in the Imperial College, and this year he will take the imperial examination.

He knows more about things related to current affairs than Ye Cunshan, but he doesn't think so deeply, and the two can complement each other.

In today's imperial examination questions, practical and government affairs are written on the roll, mainly to discuss and express one's own opinions on this matter.

More in-depth things, on the paper, some examiners want to be cautious, even if they appreciate it, they have to lower the score.

However, in the imperial examination, there is the possibility of being interviewed by the examiner. Whether it is when handing in the paper or after the result is released, especially in the palace exam, you have the opportunity to talk to the emperor. After careful consideration, all aspects have been thought through clearly, and the countermeasures that can be implemented after careful discussion are a big plus.

Although the chance of an interview is very slim, and the possibility of being asked by the emperor is so low that it can be ignored, but be prepared.

After finishing this matter, it was getting late, so I didn't continue to talk about it.

The book boy opened the door and was going to see if Yun Cheng and the others were over. He ran into the young man sent by the Yu family, and after a word of conversation, Ye Cunshan could leave.

Cheng Lifeng and Cheng Wenjie sent him off together.

Cheng Wenjie praised him for his strength, "The last time my grandfather gave lectures in the simulated examination room and trained those scholars, he mainly said this. He said that they read and endorsed, studied for the exam, and had no thought of sharing the worries of the emperor. They memorized things to fool people. The examination room will also fool him."

The core idea of ​​the impromptu article at that time is also here.

The article has a style and a fixed train of thought.

There are only so many characters in the Four Books and Five Classics. People who have studied the imperial examinations in depth can recite a string of sentences that often come up with questions.

Excellent articles can be packed in baskets, and slightly inferior articles are everywhere.

Not to mention looking at the characteristics of a good article, the simplest and most intuitive thing is that when candidates start to learn how to write an article, some teachers say what ideas the article should express.

To put it more bluntly, the previous rounds of exams tested the students' thinking.

At the end of the test, leave candidates who meet the requirements, and then test their abilities.

Cheng Lifeng told Ye Cunshan, "It is said that the first round of the provincial examination will be repeated, and the first round will be the first paper, so the closer to the exam period, the more one-sided, or even a little, the key things to learn, but you can't do this, don't worry when the time comes."

Ye Cunshan knows that it's not easy for him to get to where he is today. He didn't want to take the shortcut of crooked ways before, and now he doesn't want to take the narrow road by himself.

He also has judgments. He has come to the capital several times, chatted and studied with Cheng Taishi, and the core points are practical affairs and government affairs. At first he was asked to give his opinion, and later he was asked to talk about the solution.Today, on top of the solution, he raised questions about each link and asked him to answer them in depth.

He is just a young scholar now, there is really no need to set up a game against him for several years, just to see him fall into the pit, it can only be that this thing is really important.

And when he was a boy, Mr. Du told him that today's people are diligent and pragmatic.Combining Taishi Cheng's test, Mr. Peng's teaching focus, and the books and materials that Cheng Lifeng sent him, it is not difficult to see the importance of this part.

"I will listen to your arrangements for the exam preparation during this time."

Cheng Lifeng nodded, "Go home and have a good discussion with Brother Cheng. It's been the last few months, and I have to suffer."

The couple didn't wait to go home, so they talked about it in the carriage.

Yuanyuanwo was sound asleep in Ye Cunshan's arms, Yun Cheng covered her with a blanket and asked Ye Cunshan what he thought.

"Looking at it this way, it seems more appropriate for us to live in Cheng's house until you finish your exam."

Ye Cunshan said it was not suitable, "I heard the meaning, they want us not to get tired of being together in the past few months."

It's not aimed at Yuncheng, but to ask Ye Cunshan to stay away from housework and get rid of distracting thoughts.

There is no such requirement for Cheng Wenhao. He usually goes to school and studies as usual, and he can also go out to participate in poetry clubs and play with his classmates.

Ye Cunshan came from a small mountain village. He was enlightened late, and he studied a few years less than others.

Seeing that I am about to get out of my head, I regret that I missed a page of the book, and now I grit my teeth and continue reading.

Moreover, Yuncheng Cunyin is not like Ye Cunshan, he studies all day long, and when he is free, he is not as comfortable as at home.

There are a lot of gossip and wrongs in the big house, and a little friction can be embarrassing.

Yuncheng probably understood what he meant, "Okay, when the weather is fine, Cunyin and I will come to Cheng's house to visit uncle, and take a look at you by the way. You go home after taking a rest, and take a look at us."

In the past few months, Ye Cunshan has only a few personal matters. He has already told his aunt that he can ask for leave.

Ye Cunshan went to Fang Shizuo's house by himself.

Mr. Peng's house, the four of them can go, so they won't be separated for a long time.

It's just that the frequency is a bit high. Yuncheng will look at the situation when he talks about it, and maybe he will take Yuanyuan to live in Cheng's house for a while. The child will miss it. There is always time to see him.

When we got home, it was completely dark.

Cunyin looked around at the door, and beckoned when he saw the carriage, Ye Cunshan lifted the curtain, saw that Cunyin's cheeks were red from the cold, knowing that he was anxious and worried, newcomer, and he was afraid to guard his new home alone, so he didn't say anything harsh, and told him to go in first The house is warm.

"Uncle still asks you today, so come with us next time."

I don't want to save money, "It's very embarrassing. From the perspective of your face, they don't want to neglect me. I'm old, and I always talk about marriage. There's nothing to talk about. I don't have anything to say. I might as well sleep at home." Dajue."

Seeing that Yuanyuan was soundly asleep, he asked if he wanted to wake her up, "Or should I stay for a late-night snack?"

During this period of hard work, Yuanyuan couldn't take it anymore, and she hadn't recovered yet. The child's feelings are direct, sleep when sleepy, wake up when hungry, and get used to it for the past two days.

Taking the child away to the nanny, Yuncheng glanced at Dongtao, and said to Aunt Pingzhi: "I went out for a walk, and I also felt that Kyoto was too cold. It's time for the prefecture to melt the snow. You can give Dongtao some more Two jackets, thicker ones."

There is a plan to make men's clothing, prepare for the shop, save money and do not grab work.

In the evening, I ate a hanging pot, saved silver to boil red oil soup base, a dozen dishes of vegetarian dishes, five or six dishes of sliced ​​meat, and the staple food was vermicelli and steamed buns. The dinner was hot.

During the chat, the couple wanted to talk about Ye Cunshan's follow-up study plan, and they would not be at home often.

In addition, there is the problem of storefront operation of the bank deposits. Today, a new idea has been developed, which can first do the business of the common people, and strive for the top without having to come here.

Cunyin has no objection to this, he listened to Yuncheng, "Then I can't use the name 'No. [-] Tailor Shop'."

Yuncheng said that it can be used, "The first is the best, the first is warmth, the first is comfort, and it doesn't have to be the most expensive."

Sounds good.

In terms of personnel, Yuncheng said everything, leaving the most important tailor at the end. After listening to the silver chopsticks, all the chopsticks fell to the ground, "Did Cousin Lu Ying invite me? Someone from the palace?"

"Then how dare I use it."

Please invite them all, if there is anything you dare not use.

"Everyone is begging for a living. I think they should do private work to earn money."

Similar to the loose jobs that Liu Xiaotian took over in the past, there is no shop and the income is uncertain.

I don't know how to publicize, it's all business with acquaintances.

The shops can't afford to open, and the acquaintances are relatives and neighbors.

There are only so many people who make clothes, just enough for one person to keep busy in a year.

Lu Ying has already found someone, and they will come to the door to talk about the conditions and benefits.

Welfare is the icing on the cake, mainly monthly money.

It has not opened yet, and the turnover is not sure. If there are too few orders, people will not be willing to come here. If there are too many orders, they are afraid of losing money in the future.

When depositing silver and working in An's tailor shop, it is calculated by piece, and he gets as much as he makes.

He thought about it carefully, and said to his elder brother and sister-in-law: "We haven't met yet, they must also inspect my shop to see if it makes money and whether it can last for a long time. Let's not talk about the monthly money for now. Isn’t it open yet? Let’s send out private work, and we can talk about the price of a piece of clothing they make now. I can see their craftsmanship, and their income is guaranteed. When we open in the next year, we have also run in. The craftsmanship is good and the cooperation is good. If I give more monthly money, I am willing to keep it, and we will talk about it when the time comes, and I will know it in my heart."

He was at home during the day and had another thing on his mind.

"Right now, relatives come to every shop. According to my sister-in-law, this shop and the toy shop are exceptions, but my tailor shop has crafts. I was thinking, should I pick two people from the clan and bring them out?"

Ye Cunshan said that this is a matter for the coming year, so don't think about it yet, "Yuxi, the piecework you said is fine, and I will ask your sister-in-law to accompany you to talk about it tomorrow."

He has to study starting tomorrow, and he can't take care of family affairs.

Cunyin asked him: "Then shall I still do logistics for you? Do you still eat pig brains?"

Ye Cunshan: "Eat, you are going to learn how to draw with your uncle on sunny days."

Cunyin responded, "Okay, then I'll make a few more, and you all make up for it."

Ye Cunshan asked where Xie Yanqing's house was, and whether it was close.

When they were in Fucheng, they took mock exams together.

There is a large examination room in Kyoto. After you settle down, you will continue to take the test.

Cuyin said it was very close, "It's only a quarter of an hour's walk."

It takes them two quarters of an hour to get to the mock examination room, and more than an hour to go back and forth.

When we meet another day, Ye Cunshan wants to ask Xie Yanqing if he has a house elsewhere, or rent a nearby courtyard for the time being.

After talking and eating, the hot water has been burning, and after a little digestion, I can brush my teeth, wash my face and burn my feet, and go to sleep.

Today is the second day in Kyoto, everything that needs to be settled has been settled, and Ye Cunshan is still urged to study.

He saw that Cunyin was in good condition, he could bear his temper, and he was not impatient, but Yuncheng was a little too impatient, so he couldn't keep an eye on him afterwards, and when he was hugged at night, he had to chatter a lot.

"Take your time, it takes time to make clothes, don't be too anxious. I'll tell you something you don't like to hear. You don't even know how to save money. Now you are talking to him, and he still wants to start a business to make money. How can you be bothered?" Grab it? Let’s keep it steady.”

Yuncheng knew, "The shop tailor and the business direction have been decided, so I'm not in a hurry."

Now you just need to prepare with peace of mind and wait for the opening.

Ye Cunshan knew him well, and from the tone of his voice, he knew that Yuncheng had listened to his words, so he didn't talk about him.

"In the study this afternoon, my grandfather mainly talked to me, and my uncle talked less. I think he has a good attitude and is not so picky. He likes me."

Yun Cheng touched his face and kissed him in the dark, "Of course he likes you. You are from our small mountain village. If he doesn't like Xie Yuan at the top of the case, can he still miss Xie Yuan?"

Moreover, after they returned to Fucheng, they were very stubborn, and lived their lives on their own, and they were prosperous without asking their family for help.

Only when a person has the ability can he have the confidence and can be respected by others.

The author has something to say:

Coming!

Good night, readers!

See you tomorrow!

muah!
