A little sweet through the fragrant
Chapter 41 Bite Spring
Yuncheng couldn't stay up all night, and it was already the limit. Ye Cunshan didn't bother him much, and let him catch up on sleep after being sticky in his arms for a while.
Ye Cunshan is quite energetic, he needs to do some household chores, and take advantage of the annual leave to finish the things that should be done, so as not to go back to the county later and trouble people.
The pig is waiting for his step-sister Li Tao to bring her husband and son-in-law back to her mother's house tomorrow, and ask him by the way if the family accepts live pigs, and if he doesn't accept them, he will see if anyone in the village wants them.
The chicken has already been carried to the parents' house, so don't worry about it, they don't have time to raise it anymore.
I'll give the rabbit to Sister Chan. There are a lot of litters. I'll see if Cunyin and Yuncheng want to raise one. It's not bad as a gadget.
This is the house. In the summer, there will be more insects and ants. I am afraid that Yuncheng will not be used to living in it, so he has to make plans early.
The land has been marked out, and building a house in the village is not as expensive as buying a house in Yu County.
Ye Cunshan calculated the accounts by himself, not counting Yuncheng's retouching fee, they will have extra silver in March and April, which can solve this problem.
Everything else was trivial. For example, he and Yuncheng later bought two acres of paddy fields, and it seemed that it was already spring. If they didn't plant them, they would have to find another home in advance.
As well as the arrangement of saving money, the child wants to go out with him, and he and Yuncheng get along well. It's fine to have a child at home, but it's troublesome to convince Ye Da.
This year was lively and busy. When he finished cleaning the backyard, Ye Wangzu and Ye Qingyang came over with the ledger.
Ye Cunshan and Yuncheng can get two dividends, Ye Qingyang told Yuncheng that they can't give it in one month, but after the account book is made, and the first monthly payment is to be paid, they have to go through it.
Yuncheng was still sleeping, and his literacy level had not yet reached, so he showed Ye Cunshan the account book.
Ye Wangzu said: "The price of wool has already started to increase. Only a few businessmen you know have not increased, but there are also hints that the cost of this area will increase."
They have only made woolen sweaters for a short time, purely handmade fabrics, which take a long time and the quantity is small. Cheng Wenrui bought an empty shop, and Du Zhichun took one if he had one. At present, there are still scattered woolen fabrics in Yuxian County, which are basically gloves.
This one is cheap, and most of the people who buy it are scholars.
The merchants heard the rumor from somewhere that the business had just started, and the price of raw materials was going to be raised.
Ye Cunshan said: "They can add more, and we can not rush to buy. Anyway, only our family here in Yu County knows this craft. Mr. Cheng is far away in Kyoto, and they don't know. After a while, the price will come down again after a while." gone."
At that time, just pick a few kind people, merchants with good goods and stable cooperation.
At the beginning of the business, the front of the account book is full of expenses, and there is a surplus at the end. The main earners are woolen clothes and paper money. The low-priced paper has thin profits, so the income is not conspicuous.
It was also the first time for Ye Cunshan to look at the account book. He carefully checked this part with his abacus. Ye Wangzu and the others didn't say anything. They sat drinking tea and chatting. There was a problem, so Ye Qingyang came to look at it.
Ye Cunshan still remembered one incident, saying that the person from Jinghe Paper Shop bought them a basket of briquettes and asked Ye Qingyang, "Do you know who bought it?"
Ye Qingyang went home earlier than the others. I don't know, but he said: "Sun Yang also delivered a box of coal to the paper shop, saying that someone registered the address as the paper shop. I didn't meet anyone. My uncle brought it back during the New Year."
The price of a basket of honeycomb briquettes is low, and it is very inconspicuous when delivered, and no one cares about it.
As far as Ye Cunshan kept this matter in mind and sent coal for no reason, there must be something wrong with it.
After confirming that there was no problem with the ledger, Ye Cunshan asked Ye Wangzu, "What is the price of the paddy fields in the village now?"
When he and Yuncheng bought it back, it was one mu and three taels.
Ye Wangzu said: "Old price, if there is no accident, the price of this land will not be changed for a few years. You will not grow the land anymore?"
He reminded people, "Now the village is in a hurry to buy land. The second child of the Yun family is the only one who needs to earn a piece of land to support himself and his sister. Counting one point at a time, when the weather is warm, he dares to let Yun Xiang touch these cold things, and most of the family will choose to buy paddy fields."
When he goes out to farm and hunt, the lotus roots he produces can be processed by Yunxiang at home and sold for money.
Yuncheng's relationship with his family is not good, Yun's second son can bring his fourth sister out, besides being pitiful, he also has to consider the grievances between the two families.
At that time, Yuncheng sold the land to bury his father, and within a few days Ye Cunshan took him back to buy two acres of land. This land was planted by Yun's father for many years, and it was always uncomfortable to plant it for the Qiu family.
Ye Wangzu gave a suggestion: "You can rent it out first. My father has asked Aunt Wu to teach people how to make lotus root noodles. Anyone who wants to learn can go and have a look. It's cold and the village is busy. Those who are learning are those people with foreign surnames. The land is scarce and not fertile, so I should be willing to rent it for various kinds in the coming year.”
Few of the family members surnamed Ye know how to rent. Even if they buy, the work is divided among the families, and there are no more varieties.
When Yuncheng woke up at night, Ye Cunshan told him about it, but Yuncheng was still dazed, "Just don't give it to the Yun family."
He is not that generous, talking about grievances and debts, regardless of previous suspicions, dealing with other people's children, and not retaliating is already kind.
Just when this matter was mentioned, Yun Cheng also mentioned the gold bracelet.
"Look at him like this. If I don't want to come back once, I will ask him to sign a contract and set a deadline. Anyway, as you said, the village is full of witnesses. I don't believe he dares to delay."
Just thinking of asking about the style of the bracelet, he had to go to his house, which made Yuncheng a little annoyed.
Ye Cunshan responded, but said to Yuncheng: "I mean, don't rush to make the bracelet. There are no good craftsmen in Yu County. You should draw the pattern first, and then go to Fucheng or Kyoto if you have a chance, and then hire a good craftsman." .”
Taking a step back, he didn't pass the exam, so he can ask Du Zhichun for help. His family goes to Kyoto at least twice a year. At worst, the construction period will be longer, and they will just wait.
Yun Cheng was anxious at first, and wanted to have an explanation during the worship, but now he still worships without getting it back, and he agreed.
On the second day of junior high school, Yuncheng didn't have his mother's home to go back to, so he didn't go down to join in the fun, and stayed on the mountain to embroider zodiac pendants by himself.
Ye Cunshan went down the mountain to go home, met Li Tao and his wife, and asked Liu Dazhi if he would take the New Year's pigs without much greetings.
Liu Dazhi was much bigger than Ye Cunshan. Although he was about the same height, his muscles were so protruding that he couldn't be wrapped in a cotton coat. Li Tao stood next to him, looking very small.
He also had a loud voice, saying that he saw Ye Cunshan's pig during the Chinese New Year, "Your pig is too thin, if you want to collect it, you won't get a good price."
A normal pig can have two or three taels of silver, but his pig is one tael and five hundred cash, "If you think it's right, I'll take it away later."
Ye Cunshan nodded directly.
The silver deposit outside has gone crazy, showing off the Linglong ball and the silver bracelet, and the laughter can be heard from far away.
This child can also serve water, patted the small satchel, "My father even gave me two silver beans!"
Ye Da listened with pricked ears, his gloomy mood since the first day of junior high school finally met Qing, and he was willing to say something nice to Ye Cunshan, "They are all relatives, you just make up the whole thing, and take away two taels of silver."
Not to mention whether Liu Dazhi agreed or not, Ye Cunshan told him not to cause trouble, "Did you go around saying that you gave me and Yuncheng 20 taels of silver? Don't just talk about it, bring it here."
Ye Da shut up.
Ye Cunshan told him to calm down, "What are you talking about when you don't take it?"
He also wanted to ask people to pick up the excrement in the toilet when they were free. Seeing that everyone was eating fruits and melon seeds, he held back.
Forget it.
I didn't have any scruples in speaking before, but now that Yuncheng is leading me, it's not good to say such dirty words when people are eating.
Li Tao was also pregnant, Liu Dazhi didn't hurry to urge her to leave, and stayed at her mother's house for a while, so it was time to rest.
He fumbled for broken silver and copper plates from his bag pocket, and told Ye Cunshan to count them, and went home with him to catch the pigs.
On the way, he asked Ye Cunshan: "I heard from my cousin that you wrote a novel and it sold like crazy in Fucheng, and the retouching fee was 50 taels more than him. Is it true?"
The butchers of the Liu family for generations used to know how to slaughter pigs, but now they raise some piglets in pens.
If the pigs don't get sick, his family can earn a lot of money a year.
The uncle who went to the county to set up a stall selling meat said that outsiders looked down on butchers, and it was useless to have money, so he insisted on sending his son to Kaimeng to study.
The people in his family are so restless in their bones that they can't sit still.
My cousin changed his name to Liu Wenbai. He sounds weak and gentle, but in reality he is still aggressive and reckless. The family did not expect him to be successful, and every time they met, he would not wait for them to make fun of him. Liu Wenbai himself said that he wanted to go home and learn to be a pig raise pigs.
As a result, he wrote a story book that became popular, and he took 100 taels of silver back home. Not to mention the money he earned from studying earlier, he was also invited to Fucheng by other studies to contribute manuscripts there. These days, tsk.
Liu Dazhi wanted to know, "Is it possible to write after studying? If it is possible, I will send my son to study when he is born."
The Liu family has a tradition of beating their wives. Ye Cunshan and Li Tao are not considered close, but they are still his step-sisters. Afraid that he will be beaten if he does not have a son, he euphemistically said: "Girls and brothers can also write."
Liu Dazhi was stunned, "Li Tao said that her baby is a boy, and that her mother has experience."
Ye Cunshan: "..." Do you have any experience in giving birth to a daughter?
He doesn't want to mention it.
Just curious about the sales volume of "Zuo Son".
Du Zhichun said that it sold very well in Fucheng, and he also said that he would reprint it, even if he couldn't sell a copy, he wouldn't leave a few small shrimps.
Because Du Zhichun loves to show off, Ye Cunshan listened to this with a discount.
But it was different when Liu Wenbai said it. He and Liu Wenbai didn't deal with each other. Unless it was really popular to a certain extent, when talking about the novel "Zuo Son", the tone should be demeaning and mocking.
The two were talking on the road, and they also arrived in the mountains.
Yuncheng saw that there were guests, so he put down his embroidery work and went to serve tea and refreshments.
What he is embroidering is a little cute tiger pendant. This year, the year of the tiger, he also wants to win a lot of money on it.
Liu Dazhi liked it at first glance, and asked if it was for sale, "My son will be born this summer, and he belongs to the tiger."
Yuncheng quoted the price normally, and he was very generous and paid directly.
After Ye Cunshan's introduction, Yuncheng knew that his surname was Liu, and he belonged to Liu Tuhu's family. The family was very wealthy, so he dragged Ye Cunshan over, and from Ye Cunshan's small satchel—he also changed the bag pocket into a small bag, and took it with him. She took out the lamb pendant and said, "I can also embroider other zodiac pendants. If anyone in your family wants it, you can come to me."
Liu Dazhi was very disgusted, "Don't want a sheep with a bad face."
Ye Cunshan's face darkened even more, "Do you want it yet?"
Liu Dazhi didn't bother with him, and tied the pig's neck with a hemp rope, and was about to pull it away, saying that he would go back and ask, "If there is any news, I will send it to you, if there is no news, no one will want it."
After the pig's matter was settled, Yun Cheng also packed up his things, took paper and notebooks, and went to Yun Renyi's house with Ye Cunshan.
Ye Cunshan told him not to paint by himself, "Call Qingyang later and let him paint for you."
It hasn't been long since the Yin Division's arrest warrant has passed, so it's not suitable.Waiting for Yuncheng to transition slowly for a while, showing interest in painting, learning charcoal drawing with Ye Qingyang, and the results are more or less blue, that's about the same.
Yuncheng is not as cautious as he is in handling things, and he listens to him honestly.
Ye Qingyang was looking at his son-in-law today, and it was difficult to pick a suitable one.
Those who are able to come to marry have difficulties of one kind or another. It is good if the family is poor, but they are afraid of meeting lazy or sick ones.
Now his parents saw that he was working as an accountant in the county, and suggested that he find one in the county. Grandpa said that he was afraid that the county would be far away, that his family would not be able to manage it, and that Qingyang would be wronged in the future.
Just as he was talking, Ye Cunshan and Yun Cheng came to look for him.
He told his family members after listening, and then accompanied them to Yun Renyi's house.
Ye Cunshan was also a little concerned about his marriage, and asked him if he would mind finding a scholar, "To be honest, I have classmates who are willing to marry, but they are thin-skinned, and I dare not go out to look for them, and wait until both of them have the same meaning, so we can see each other." Look at each other."
It was hard to find Ye Qingyang's husband and son-in-law, and it was also because he had read the book himself, and he had no common language with rough people who could not read large characters.
In the past, he didn't dare to find a scholar, the cost was too high.
Now that there are cheap paper, he thinks he can try it, but he is afraid that others will say that he is ugly and high-minded.
Ye Cunshan is his cousin, so he must have a solid foundation in his heart to say this. On the way, he talked about the man's situation, and Ye Qingyang said: "Then when I go back to the county, I'll meet him."
When they approached Yun Renyi's house, they could hear their family's scolding from a distance away.
Ye Qingyang said that he should tell Yuncheng not to go, "You didn't go around the village much when you came back, did you? When his family went crazy, he even said he wanted Brother Cheng to kneel before the ancestral tablet to repent."
A family of refugees came here, but they didn't bring the ancestral tablets. I remember how many times they were engraved, and the main worshipers were the parents.
Yuncheng was scared, but this was done for him, how could he hide behind others?
He followed along, and after entering the door, the noise of Yun Renyi's house fell silent.
Li Qiuju and Yun Lili regretted returning the hairpin to him all the time, and Yun Renyi also regretted it after listening to them talking too much.
So when he heard that Yuncheng wanted him to sign an IOU, he was not happy, "Don't think about it, it's impossible, and the money wasn't all spent by my family. Your family had seven acres of land before, and it was also paid from here."
When the refugees come here, the land is divided as usual. This side is surrounded by water and mountains, the paddy fields are good, and the dry land is full of sand and gravel.
The Yun family was where the two brothers came from, and all they shared was the seven acres of land, and the unfertile land was given to the eldest brother, saying that this was a waste of money for his family, so Yun Renyi could say it.
Ye Cunshan said: "Do you think I'm here to have a good discussion with you? I have written the pleadings. If you cooperate today, we have something to say. If you don't cooperate, we will see you in the government. By the way, I will also ask the county master to interrogate you. What kind of crime is it to steal jewelry from your sister-in-law?"
With a guilty conscience, Yun Renyi took out this thing and pressed it against him.
But when asked about the style of the bracelet, he said that he didn't remember, and wanted to be vague and say that the weight was lighter.
Ye Cunshan said, "Which shop did you melt down?"
Yun Renyi knew that he wanted to get to the bottom of it. After thinking about it for more than ten years, even if the shop is still there, it's hard to say whether people remember it or not. He wanted to take a gamble, "The jewelry shop at the pier, I really don't remember the style."
Li Qiuju said she remembered, "You agree to let Ye Zhong work in the paper workshop, so I will tell you."
She dislikes Yun Lili's poor work and has been in pain for more than ten years, and wants her to marry a good family.
If Yun Lili gets married well, they will have something to look forward to, and the atmosphere at home will change.
Yun Renyi glanced at her, but didn't stop her.
Ye Cunshan and Yun Cheng can decide this matter.There are half of them in the workshop, and the main workers are the Ye family members, none of them have foreign surnames.
What was excluded at that time was Yuncheng's request, and he let go, adding another person would not be difficult.
Besides, Li Qiuju didn't want it for her children, but for Ye's family, so he didn't feel too much pressure to let go.
After getting the right words, Li Qiuju described the style, and Yuncheng gave Ye Qingyang the pen and paper, and listened carefully.
Ye Cunshan also took a pen and paper to write down the words she dictated.
After listening to it once, Ye Qingyang couldn't write.
Li Qiuju was short-sighted and knew that there were flowers and characters on it, but she couldn't tell what flowers and characters were.
Ye Qingyang described the size of the petals and leaves, and the thickness of the bracelet, and Ye Qingyang drew them accordingly. It has been a long time, and she can only recognize them vaguely.
Seeing their expressions, they are afraid that people will go back on their word, "You can agree in advance!"
Ye Cunshan looked at Yuncheng, "Or go to the wharf jewelry shop and ask."
Just don't hold out too much hope, the possibility of finding out is low.
Yun Cheng lowered his eyes and sighed, "Let's sign the IOU."
It's still too ideal. If it doesn't work, when the money is paid off, he will burn the IOU to his parents, which is considered an confession.
Yun Renyi underestimated the amount, and Ye Cunshan asked him to think about it, "This thick and thin bracelet cannot be worth so much silver. Go to a jewelry store to inquire. The possibility of finding the pattern is low, but it is not difficult to find out the price."
The ledger is there.
That family doesn't pay much attention to their business, they only care about money, and if they manage some, they can ask someone to check their accounts.
Yun Renyi pinched his nose and reported the exact number, "Eight taels."
Yuncheng gave Chuyin a silver exquisite ball, and after adding handwork, there were four taels.
Because of this, I asked about the price of gold, and calculated that it should be about 15 taels, before I asked his family to sign an IOU.
Otherwise, just a few taels of silver, what to sign?
Yun Renyi snorted, "That's the number, if you don't believe it, ask yourself."
"I'll ask," Yun Cheng said, "It's so little, why don't you pay it back now."
Yun Renyi didn't know when he wiped the inkpad on his hand, but now he stamped his handprint on the IOU neatly, "I will pay it off by the end of March."
He has a solid family background, and he saved it up bit by bit.
Now I can see clearly that the children are all unreliable, and he will not move the money.
Ye Zhong was about to go to work in the paper-making workshop, and it was time to marry Lili from his family. There were not many poor men in the Ye family, and he would take the dowry to fill the bills. He hadn't raised Yun Lili for so many years.
After the things were signed, Yuncheng frowned dissatisfied, and it was hard to say.
After they left, Yun Lili also tried to threaten Yun Renyi with suing the officer. She didn't want to do laundry because it was too cold.
Yun Renyi sneered, "You have a father and elder brother who are in prison. Let's see if you will marry the widower next door or the little hooligan next door."
Yun Lili wiped away her tears, thinking that the water was really ice, and her mother had just agreed with Yun Cheng that Ye Zhong could go to work in the paper-making workshop, so she said, "Then I'll talk to Ye Zhong about this. thing?"
Yun Renyi disagreed, "Today's second day of junior high school, several aunts in his family will come back to pay New Year's greetings. Doesn't it look ugly when you come to visit?"
Ye Zhong's family was able to make the marriage stand up a while ago, but now Yun Renyi can make his family's life difficult.
With packs of melon seeds and a pot of water, he strolled all over the village, and when he met people, he said that his family had found a job for Ye Zhong, and it would be shameless for him not to marry Lili.
On the other end, Yun Cheng and Ye Cunshan had nothing else to do. After thanking Ye Qingyang, they went home and put the IOUs with the broken jade hairpins, and went about their own business.
Seeing his unhappy expression, Ye Cunshan told him about the sales volume of "The Son-in-law", "The news Liu Wenbai brought back, you will be enough to buy ten or eight gold bracelets."
Yun Cheng smiled: "The money is exchanged for scolding, you have to be careful."
The scholars in the academy said that Ye Cunshan wrote it, and Yuncheng asked him to take the blame, and Ye Cunshan took the blame.
Ye Cunshan also laughed, "So whether I will be beaten by my classmates in the future depends on you."
The novel "The Son-in-law" was full of criticism in Fucheng, and all kinds of curious readers came with it. They all wanted to read this novel that everyone was angry and scolded. What kind of magic power could attract them for several days? Discussing the plot of the next book.
Therefore, Fucheng Study also invited more craftsmen to print, and the New Year's Eve was a day off for the New Year.
In several other counties along the road, there was also a gust of "Zuo Son" wind.
Ordinary people's discussion fits the plot. Some people have recruited a son-in-law. This year, when they look at their own son-in-law, they think it is profound.
"Could it be that my son-in-law, who is a bitch, is also the richest man in private?"
Therefore, many son-in-laws this year have felt the inquires from the "in-law's family". Your little silver?"
Afterwards, he asked again: "You really didn't manage the property privately? None of the shops on Shitiao Street in Fucheng are yours?"
The son-in-law almost cried, "I really have that ability, why should I be my son-in-law?"
The father-in-law and mother-in-law are unhappy, and the daughter-in-law and husband are also unhappy.
"Can't it be like my family, can't it be true love?"
The son-in-law in the novel feels aggrieved at home and outside, and readers discuss and discuss it, but it can only be explained by true love.
He just didn't know how beautiful his wife must be to make him willing to suffer this kind of grievance.
That's right, Yuncheng also used the usual routine. When describing the role of the wife, he used a lot of gorgeous rhetoric. Even if important people can't figure out what kind of beauty she is, they still think she is really beautiful.
When the novel "Zuo Son" aroused everyone's emotions to the highest level, book sellers everywhere made a decision one after another, and voted for "Family Blessed Wife".
During the Chinese New Year, everyone wants to make a big deal out of their mouths. The readers' emotions are stuck here, so it's not easy to swear, and you can't use a script that makes people angry, and change it to a plain script, just to calm them down.
This wave of water testing, the response exceeded expectations.
They don't know if there would be so many readers coming over for a change of taste if "Zui Son" wasn't there to stimulate their emotions at the beginning. They only know that they have made a lot of money this year.
The first volume of "The Son-in-Law" printed by Yu County Study was listed on the New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, someone bought it and took it home. It was almost thrown into the stove and burned when it was New Year's Eve.
The merchants who bought it early and went back to read it, so as to judge whether the book has the potential to become popular, sent someone to buy it in less than an hour.
Before closing, the books at home were sold out.
The craftsmen are also happy, the business in the shop is good, and they reward a lot of silver.
We all know that this year we have worked hard to prevent other bookstores from piracy, and we have been working with a carving knife during the years, and we want to engrave a few more copies of the second volume of "The Son-in-law", and then spread it to other places, so that their study will be much better. To make some money, they also drink soup and eat meat.
Currently the farthest place for sale is Kyoto.
In addition to the storybooks in Kyoto, there is another new item that is popular—a sweater.
First, Mr. Du from the Ministry of Rites got a lot of money, saying that it was the filial piety of the younger generation in Yu County.
The first size was woven according to the size of an adult man. Although the man in the Du family is not strong, he is also tall. Son.
Except for him, Master Du himself has a complete set. This year's New Year greetings have made his colleagues envious.
It's a pity that there are too few things when I come back, thinking that the juniors at the other end of Yu County are quite caring, and they come to Kyoto twice a year to give gifts, so I said I would bring them some things.
Master Du said: "Young Master Cheng brought some planner back last time. He said that it is good for memorizing. The younger generation in the family are all studying, so this thing is useful."
The grandfather also said that he was slow to hear, "Do you know where he called back?"
Master Du understood now, "It's also Yu County?"
Suddenly there are so many new gadgets in Yu County?
His family also opened a study in the capital, and the people from Yu County said that they wanted to sell it in the capital, so such trivial things did not reach his ears.
Still, the sales volume was really hot, and some acquaintances bought it at home. When asked about it, his wife also talked about the business, which surprised him, and he picked up the book and read it again.
He has a good temper, and he didn't feel angry after reading it. He praised all aspects before being critical: "There is still a lot of room for improvement in writing."
That space is probably the gesture of the thumb and the index finger, and when you look closer, there is a universe hidden in it.
After chatting for a few more words, I realized that the Cheng family was richer than his family. His family bought ready-made clothes, and Cheng Wenrui bought back the craftsmanship directly.
The little girl who knew how to knit sweaters taught others, not to mention that everyone in the house put on sweaters, and even sent them to the emperor and empress in the palace.
The grandfather said: "Wei County is poor. They have to spend a lot of money to travel all the way, and there are dangers along the way. When I turn back, I will bring back all the money for this book sale. Don't ask people to deduct it privately. If it spreads, it will appear that we are stingy. Also prepare some gifts in return, there are more books in Jingdu than in Yu County, our study can still print, and we will give him two copies, so the juniors can read them in exchange."
On the other side, Grand Master's Mansion.
When Cheng Wenrui came back, it seemed that he had gained a lot. In fact, he couldn't find the person he wanted to find the most. He felt ashamed of his father and had no face to see his grandfather. past.
He then reported to his family the biggest event in the field this time. He used the money to open two shops, "helped some poor people, and I have to trouble my cousin to ask someone to go to Yu County again to teach those coal mine owners how to do it." Safe mining, if you have free time, look for it along the way."
And his cousin was caught by his father for scolding his son-in-law because he was reading the scriptures, and punished him to copy the scriptures and meditate.
He thought: If there is a chance, he must meet this anonymous gentleman.
Speaking back to Yu County, Yuan Mo also learned that this best-selling script was the one he copied for Yun Cheng in a frenzy.
He felt that this kind of aggrieved can write, but why can't those who are lying and winning can't write.
People in the world still love to get something for nothing.
Different paths lead to the same goal, the poor scholar always meets a goddess and a witch to help him, not because he took the beauty's gold and silver for nothing, but also lived up to his friendship.
When he told Liu Xiaotian about this, Liu Xiaotian's face was wrinkled into a bun, "Is anyone really watching this?"
Yuan Mo: "Every son-in-law is watching,"
Liu Xiaotian: "...Either you think about it first, they will come to the county on the fourth day of the junior high school, I will help you ask Brother Cheng, and ask him to help see if it is feasible."
Yuan Mo's personality is not impatient, and he has never written a novel. He really wants to conceive something, so he nodded in agreement.
At this time, Jinghe Village has finally set up a stage.
According to the plan, there was going to be a lot of fun on the first day of the new year, but the celebration was delayed until the afternoon of the second day.
Yuncheng hasn't seen it yet, so he made an appointment with Ye Cunshan in the third year of junior high school to watch it.
He originally thought that the village had invited an opera troupe, but in fact, they were refugees from nearby villages.
It is said that these people have been in the theater troupe before, and the things are gone, but the craftsmanship is still there. They call them "little theater troupe" in private.
At the end of the year, the reservation is late, and they have to go to other places before coming after the excitement. This is the time when they earn more money throughout the year.
I can also catch up with them during the autumn harvest and perform a rice show for people.
The Chuida team gathers suona in every village, which is played loudly and energetically for funerals and happy events.
Yuncheng went down the mountain today and said he was looking for deposit money.
He saw someone on the first day of New Year's greetings, but he didn't see him on the second day of the second year, and he still missed him a little bit.
Ye Cunshan told him not to look for him, "He'll be here later, he's been enjoying himself for the past few days, and kids of the same age are annoyed when he sees him, and the show will start singing later, can he come to join in the fun?"
Ye Da was also out today, and when he met someone, he didn’t say that he gave 20 taels of silver to his son and daughter-in-law, but said: “Oh, they love me, the old man, and they wrapped me a big red envelope for the New Year, and the money came back !"
"Filial piety and filial piety are all filial piety... that's right, my son of Ye Da..."
Yun Cheng didn't notice, he wanted to tease Ye Cunshan, saying that the two brothers had the same temper.
After hearing Ye Da's words, he couldn't say anything, so he asked him: "Your father is...?"
Did he have this symptom before, or recently.
Ye Cunshan glanced over there, "It's always been like this."
Selfish, don't want to pay but want to pocket the benefits.
For himself, he would be willing to spare any shame.
Now it seems that he and Yuncheng are getting better, but in fact, they still have to wait for Chen Jinhua's child to be born.
If you really give birth to two sons, just wait and see.
Ye Cunshan told Yuncheng not to be soft-hearted, "Let's just treat our relatives politely."
Yun Cheng couldn't get along well with Ye Da at all, but in the name of an elder, he was still Ye Cunshan's biological father, so he didn't want to ignore him or show his face.
Ye Da was able to be careless on the street that day, so to put it bluntly, didn't he just look down on him?
Let's talk a few words, and the show begins.
Without a costume, with her hair up and heavy makeup on, it was "Hangou Family Celebration" on stage.
When the three generations live under the same roof, they carry out the order of Tibetan hooks, leading to blessings from the Three Stars of Fortune, Lushou and Shou.
Yuncheng hadn't had any entertainment for a long time, and he couldn't get back to his senses after watching this simple drama.
Ye Cunshan brought him food. He bought a lot of snacks for the Chinese New Year this year, and they were all nuts that were convenient to bring out. Usually, he could eat for Yuncheng to grind his teeth and satisfy his cravings.
Before he was in Yuncheng's hands, Cunyin ran over.
It was still the same red jacket with rabbit fur trim. Today, the rouge was slightly thicker, and the cheeks were flushed. He shouted to Yuncheng excitedly, "Sister-in-law! I have something to tell you!"
Yun Cheng looked at him distractedly, and Cunyin couldn't hide his gloating, "That idiot Ye Cunjin, he went to ask his elder brother for a gold bracelet and a golden exquisite ball, the one who celebrates Chinese New Year got spanked!"
After showing off for a few days, I finally got something.
Cunyin took his heart and stopped running around, and stood beside them to watch the play.
Ye Gen invites people to sing this play once a year. When he is rich, he sings a few more, when he is tight, he sings a few less, at most twice a year.
Ye Cunshan told Yuncheng, "He's afraid of being beaten by Cunjin."
Children are playing and making noise, not too much, and adults don't bother to care about it.
With gender awareness, when it comes to talking about marriage, my brother looks like a boy, and the difference is not obvious.
Yun Cheng defended himself, "You can't let him beat you up."
Ye Cunshan squeezed his hand and asked him, "Do you like children, or save money?"
Yun Cheng didn't understand what he meant, his face instantly turned redder than Cun Yin's rouged face.
"I like little kids like Saving Silver," he said.
Lively, cute and sweet.
Ye Cunshan scratched his palm, "I raised this child."
So when will they have a cub?
Yun Cheng touched the mole at the end of his eye.
The color of the mole shows that he is prone to conception, so it depends on Ye Cunshan's strength.
At the same time, I also thought that when I returned to the county this time, I would go to the medical clinic to feel my pulse and take care of my body.
The troupe was open for a day, but Yuncheng couldn't watch it all day, so he went home in the afternoon and continued to embroider the zodiac pendant. This time he embroidered a little rabbit, because Cunyin followed, and he just happened to teach others how to embroider.
He also told him the price, so that the banker immediately collected it for fun, and even the little rabbit embroidered for him wanted to sell it for money.
Du Zhichun wanted this pendant to be sent to the capital. Regardless of whether Ye Cunshan could pass the exam in the capital, they would maintain friendship with the Du family. These pendants were embroidered by Yun Cheng himself.
If anyone wants it from the Liu family, it depends on whether they want to buy his embroidery at the original price or cheaper, please save the silver embroidery.
This is also the reason why Yuncheng dared to ask for the price of the small pendant. Even if he bought it home and hired an embroiderer, unless he was skilled, he would not be able to imitate it. He used a variety of stitches in it, and these were perfected in later generations. Pass.
It is incomparable to the court embroiderer, and if the folks want to find someone who is better than him, there are not many.
This afternoon, Chuyin studied very seriously.
He doesn't have a mother to teach him, he learns from this family and that family. The needlework is meticulous and plain, there is no big mistake, and it is not very beautiful.
You can embroider a few ordinary patterns, but no finer ones.
Yuncheng drew a pattern for him on the cloth and asked him to trace the embroidery along the edge of the line.
Cunyin was dumbfounded, "Sister-in-law, can you still draw?"
Yun Cheng prevaricated him with Ye Cunshan's theory, "I am good at embroidery, but of course I am good at painting."
Cunyin really believed it, and thought that after he learned how to embroider, he could also have good painting skills.
In the afternoon, Ye Cunshan went to his home to chat with Ye Da, and brought the pepper and cypress wine he bought during the Chinese New Year.
Yuncheng was not used to the taste of both pepper wine and Tusu wine, so the couple finished the plum wine and there was still some wine left.
Ye Da didn't know it was left over, thinking that his recent behavior had finally touched his son, and asked Chen Jinhua to fry two side dishes.
Few in the village stopped working when they were pregnant. After Chen Jinhua got better, the house started to take care of herself.
Ye Cunshan told her not to do it, Chen Jinhua and Ye Da also misunderstood, thinking that Ye Cunshan was understanding for her, and finally served three dishes.
When Ye Cunshan explained the reason for his visit, Ye Da's mouth became dull, "Why do you still need to bring the savings? Spring is coming soon, and the fields are busy. The family needs a cook and laundry. Your mother's stomach will definitely not be able to get down to the ground." , Even if the food is ready, it needs to be delivered to the field.”
Ye Cunshan knew this, and he said, "Don't you have 20 taels, just invite someone to come later."
After he has been busy for a while, Ye Gen won't hold on to the whole village. Everyone knows what to do, so he just takes care of his own family's workshop, and he has done his duty.
At that time, Ye Da will be able to invite people to come over again. There is only so much work at home, and if he runs twice a day, he will have a lot of copper coins in his pocket. Some people want to come.
Ye Da disagreed, "The village says I'm showing off, what does it look like if I invite you?"
Ye Cunshan poked his heart, "I don't think my cousin's family is too busy."
Sister Chan of Ye Yan's family is so young, she has to be taken care of by someone else.
Ye Dapan was heartbroken, but still didn't want to suffer.
Only then did Ye Cunshan tell him that Cunyin went to learn the craft, "It didn't take long for him to knit sweaters, and he earned his own money and came back. What's the use of staying at home to farm the land?"
Ye Da: You just say that I'm worthless.
Silver.
Ye Da is in love.
He also has a sense of urgency. At this age, he has to start again.
Ye Cunshan is quite energetic, he needs to do some household chores, and take advantage of the annual leave to finish the things that should be done, so as not to go back to the county later and trouble people.
The pig is waiting for his step-sister Li Tao to bring her husband and son-in-law back to her mother's house tomorrow, and ask him by the way if the family accepts live pigs, and if he doesn't accept them, he will see if anyone in the village wants them.
The chicken has already been carried to the parents' house, so don't worry about it, they don't have time to raise it anymore.
I'll give the rabbit to Sister Chan. There are a lot of litters. I'll see if Cunyin and Yuncheng want to raise one. It's not bad as a gadget.
This is the house. In the summer, there will be more insects and ants. I am afraid that Yuncheng will not be used to living in it, so he has to make plans early.
The land has been marked out, and building a house in the village is not as expensive as buying a house in Yu County.
Ye Cunshan calculated the accounts by himself, not counting Yuncheng's retouching fee, they will have extra silver in March and April, which can solve this problem.
Everything else was trivial. For example, he and Yuncheng later bought two acres of paddy fields, and it seemed that it was already spring. If they didn't plant them, they would have to find another home in advance.
As well as the arrangement of saving money, the child wants to go out with him, and he and Yuncheng get along well. It's fine to have a child at home, but it's troublesome to convince Ye Da.
This year was lively and busy. When he finished cleaning the backyard, Ye Wangzu and Ye Qingyang came over with the ledger.
Ye Cunshan and Yuncheng can get two dividends, Ye Qingyang told Yuncheng that they can't give it in one month, but after the account book is made, and the first monthly payment is to be paid, they have to go through it.
Yuncheng was still sleeping, and his literacy level had not yet reached, so he showed Ye Cunshan the account book.
Ye Wangzu said: "The price of wool has already started to increase. Only a few businessmen you know have not increased, but there are also hints that the cost of this area will increase."
They have only made woolen sweaters for a short time, purely handmade fabrics, which take a long time and the quantity is small. Cheng Wenrui bought an empty shop, and Du Zhichun took one if he had one. At present, there are still scattered woolen fabrics in Yuxian County, which are basically gloves.
This one is cheap, and most of the people who buy it are scholars.
The merchants heard the rumor from somewhere that the business had just started, and the price of raw materials was going to be raised.
Ye Cunshan said: "They can add more, and we can not rush to buy. Anyway, only our family here in Yu County knows this craft. Mr. Cheng is far away in Kyoto, and they don't know. After a while, the price will come down again after a while." gone."
At that time, just pick a few kind people, merchants with good goods and stable cooperation.
At the beginning of the business, the front of the account book is full of expenses, and there is a surplus at the end. The main earners are woolen clothes and paper money. The low-priced paper has thin profits, so the income is not conspicuous.
It was also the first time for Ye Cunshan to look at the account book. He carefully checked this part with his abacus. Ye Wangzu and the others didn't say anything. They sat drinking tea and chatting. There was a problem, so Ye Qingyang came to look at it.
Ye Cunshan still remembered one incident, saying that the person from Jinghe Paper Shop bought them a basket of briquettes and asked Ye Qingyang, "Do you know who bought it?"
Ye Qingyang went home earlier than the others. I don't know, but he said: "Sun Yang also delivered a box of coal to the paper shop, saying that someone registered the address as the paper shop. I didn't meet anyone. My uncle brought it back during the New Year."
The price of a basket of honeycomb briquettes is low, and it is very inconspicuous when delivered, and no one cares about it.
As far as Ye Cunshan kept this matter in mind and sent coal for no reason, there must be something wrong with it.
After confirming that there was no problem with the ledger, Ye Cunshan asked Ye Wangzu, "What is the price of the paddy fields in the village now?"
When he and Yuncheng bought it back, it was one mu and three taels.
Ye Wangzu said: "Old price, if there is no accident, the price of this land will not be changed for a few years. You will not grow the land anymore?"
He reminded people, "Now the village is in a hurry to buy land. The second child of the Yun family is the only one who needs to earn a piece of land to support himself and his sister. Counting one point at a time, when the weather is warm, he dares to let Yun Xiang touch these cold things, and most of the family will choose to buy paddy fields."
When he goes out to farm and hunt, the lotus roots he produces can be processed by Yunxiang at home and sold for money.
Yuncheng's relationship with his family is not good, Yun's second son can bring his fourth sister out, besides being pitiful, he also has to consider the grievances between the two families.
At that time, Yuncheng sold the land to bury his father, and within a few days Ye Cunshan took him back to buy two acres of land. This land was planted by Yun's father for many years, and it was always uncomfortable to plant it for the Qiu family.
Ye Wangzu gave a suggestion: "You can rent it out first. My father has asked Aunt Wu to teach people how to make lotus root noodles. Anyone who wants to learn can go and have a look. It's cold and the village is busy. Those who are learning are those people with foreign surnames. The land is scarce and not fertile, so I should be willing to rent it for various kinds in the coming year.”
Few of the family members surnamed Ye know how to rent. Even if they buy, the work is divided among the families, and there are no more varieties.
When Yuncheng woke up at night, Ye Cunshan told him about it, but Yuncheng was still dazed, "Just don't give it to the Yun family."
He is not that generous, talking about grievances and debts, regardless of previous suspicions, dealing with other people's children, and not retaliating is already kind.
Just when this matter was mentioned, Yun Cheng also mentioned the gold bracelet.
"Look at him like this. If I don't want to come back once, I will ask him to sign a contract and set a deadline. Anyway, as you said, the village is full of witnesses. I don't believe he dares to delay."
Just thinking of asking about the style of the bracelet, he had to go to his house, which made Yuncheng a little annoyed.
Ye Cunshan responded, but said to Yuncheng: "I mean, don't rush to make the bracelet. There are no good craftsmen in Yu County. You should draw the pattern first, and then go to Fucheng or Kyoto if you have a chance, and then hire a good craftsman." .”
Taking a step back, he didn't pass the exam, so he can ask Du Zhichun for help. His family goes to Kyoto at least twice a year. At worst, the construction period will be longer, and they will just wait.
Yun Cheng was anxious at first, and wanted to have an explanation during the worship, but now he still worships without getting it back, and he agreed.
On the second day of junior high school, Yuncheng didn't have his mother's home to go back to, so he didn't go down to join in the fun, and stayed on the mountain to embroider zodiac pendants by himself.
Ye Cunshan went down the mountain to go home, met Li Tao and his wife, and asked Liu Dazhi if he would take the New Year's pigs without much greetings.
Liu Dazhi was much bigger than Ye Cunshan. Although he was about the same height, his muscles were so protruding that he couldn't be wrapped in a cotton coat. Li Tao stood next to him, looking very small.
He also had a loud voice, saying that he saw Ye Cunshan's pig during the Chinese New Year, "Your pig is too thin, if you want to collect it, you won't get a good price."
A normal pig can have two or three taels of silver, but his pig is one tael and five hundred cash, "If you think it's right, I'll take it away later."
Ye Cunshan nodded directly.
The silver deposit outside has gone crazy, showing off the Linglong ball and the silver bracelet, and the laughter can be heard from far away.
This child can also serve water, patted the small satchel, "My father even gave me two silver beans!"
Ye Da listened with pricked ears, his gloomy mood since the first day of junior high school finally met Qing, and he was willing to say something nice to Ye Cunshan, "They are all relatives, you just make up the whole thing, and take away two taels of silver."
Not to mention whether Liu Dazhi agreed or not, Ye Cunshan told him not to cause trouble, "Did you go around saying that you gave me and Yuncheng 20 taels of silver? Don't just talk about it, bring it here."
Ye Da shut up.
Ye Cunshan told him to calm down, "What are you talking about when you don't take it?"
He also wanted to ask people to pick up the excrement in the toilet when they were free. Seeing that everyone was eating fruits and melon seeds, he held back.
Forget it.
I didn't have any scruples in speaking before, but now that Yuncheng is leading me, it's not good to say such dirty words when people are eating.
Li Tao was also pregnant, Liu Dazhi didn't hurry to urge her to leave, and stayed at her mother's house for a while, so it was time to rest.
He fumbled for broken silver and copper plates from his bag pocket, and told Ye Cunshan to count them, and went home with him to catch the pigs.
On the way, he asked Ye Cunshan: "I heard from my cousin that you wrote a novel and it sold like crazy in Fucheng, and the retouching fee was 50 taels more than him. Is it true?"
The butchers of the Liu family for generations used to know how to slaughter pigs, but now they raise some piglets in pens.
If the pigs don't get sick, his family can earn a lot of money a year.
The uncle who went to the county to set up a stall selling meat said that outsiders looked down on butchers, and it was useless to have money, so he insisted on sending his son to Kaimeng to study.
The people in his family are so restless in their bones that they can't sit still.
My cousin changed his name to Liu Wenbai. He sounds weak and gentle, but in reality he is still aggressive and reckless. The family did not expect him to be successful, and every time they met, he would not wait for them to make fun of him. Liu Wenbai himself said that he wanted to go home and learn to be a pig raise pigs.
As a result, he wrote a story book that became popular, and he took 100 taels of silver back home. Not to mention the money he earned from studying earlier, he was also invited to Fucheng by other studies to contribute manuscripts there. These days, tsk.
Liu Dazhi wanted to know, "Is it possible to write after studying? If it is possible, I will send my son to study when he is born."
The Liu family has a tradition of beating their wives. Ye Cunshan and Li Tao are not considered close, but they are still his step-sisters. Afraid that he will be beaten if he does not have a son, he euphemistically said: "Girls and brothers can also write."
Liu Dazhi was stunned, "Li Tao said that her baby is a boy, and that her mother has experience."
Ye Cunshan: "..." Do you have any experience in giving birth to a daughter?
He doesn't want to mention it.
Just curious about the sales volume of "Zuo Son".
Du Zhichun said that it sold very well in Fucheng, and he also said that he would reprint it, even if he couldn't sell a copy, he wouldn't leave a few small shrimps.
Because Du Zhichun loves to show off, Ye Cunshan listened to this with a discount.
But it was different when Liu Wenbai said it. He and Liu Wenbai didn't deal with each other. Unless it was really popular to a certain extent, when talking about the novel "Zuo Son", the tone should be demeaning and mocking.
The two were talking on the road, and they also arrived in the mountains.
Yuncheng saw that there were guests, so he put down his embroidery work and went to serve tea and refreshments.
What he is embroidering is a little cute tiger pendant. This year, the year of the tiger, he also wants to win a lot of money on it.
Liu Dazhi liked it at first glance, and asked if it was for sale, "My son will be born this summer, and he belongs to the tiger."
Yuncheng quoted the price normally, and he was very generous and paid directly.
After Ye Cunshan's introduction, Yuncheng knew that his surname was Liu, and he belonged to Liu Tuhu's family. The family was very wealthy, so he dragged Ye Cunshan over, and from Ye Cunshan's small satchel—he also changed the bag pocket into a small bag, and took it with him. She took out the lamb pendant and said, "I can also embroider other zodiac pendants. If anyone in your family wants it, you can come to me."
Liu Dazhi was very disgusted, "Don't want a sheep with a bad face."
Ye Cunshan's face darkened even more, "Do you want it yet?"
Liu Dazhi didn't bother with him, and tied the pig's neck with a hemp rope, and was about to pull it away, saying that he would go back and ask, "If there is any news, I will send it to you, if there is no news, no one will want it."
After the pig's matter was settled, Yun Cheng also packed up his things, took paper and notebooks, and went to Yun Renyi's house with Ye Cunshan.
Ye Cunshan told him not to paint by himself, "Call Qingyang later and let him paint for you."
It hasn't been long since the Yin Division's arrest warrant has passed, so it's not suitable.Waiting for Yuncheng to transition slowly for a while, showing interest in painting, learning charcoal drawing with Ye Qingyang, and the results are more or less blue, that's about the same.
Yuncheng is not as cautious as he is in handling things, and he listens to him honestly.
Ye Qingyang was looking at his son-in-law today, and it was difficult to pick a suitable one.
Those who are able to come to marry have difficulties of one kind or another. It is good if the family is poor, but they are afraid of meeting lazy or sick ones.
Now his parents saw that he was working as an accountant in the county, and suggested that he find one in the county. Grandpa said that he was afraid that the county would be far away, that his family would not be able to manage it, and that Qingyang would be wronged in the future.
Just as he was talking, Ye Cunshan and Yun Cheng came to look for him.
He told his family members after listening, and then accompanied them to Yun Renyi's house.
Ye Cunshan was also a little concerned about his marriage, and asked him if he would mind finding a scholar, "To be honest, I have classmates who are willing to marry, but they are thin-skinned, and I dare not go out to look for them, and wait until both of them have the same meaning, so we can see each other." Look at each other."
It was hard to find Ye Qingyang's husband and son-in-law, and it was also because he had read the book himself, and he had no common language with rough people who could not read large characters.
In the past, he didn't dare to find a scholar, the cost was too high.
Now that there are cheap paper, he thinks he can try it, but he is afraid that others will say that he is ugly and high-minded.
Ye Cunshan is his cousin, so he must have a solid foundation in his heart to say this. On the way, he talked about the man's situation, and Ye Qingyang said: "Then when I go back to the county, I'll meet him."
When they approached Yun Renyi's house, they could hear their family's scolding from a distance away.
Ye Qingyang said that he should tell Yuncheng not to go, "You didn't go around the village much when you came back, did you? When his family went crazy, he even said he wanted Brother Cheng to kneel before the ancestral tablet to repent."
A family of refugees came here, but they didn't bring the ancestral tablets. I remember how many times they were engraved, and the main worshipers were the parents.
Yuncheng was scared, but this was done for him, how could he hide behind others?
He followed along, and after entering the door, the noise of Yun Renyi's house fell silent.
Li Qiuju and Yun Lili regretted returning the hairpin to him all the time, and Yun Renyi also regretted it after listening to them talking too much.
So when he heard that Yuncheng wanted him to sign an IOU, he was not happy, "Don't think about it, it's impossible, and the money wasn't all spent by my family. Your family had seven acres of land before, and it was also paid from here."
When the refugees come here, the land is divided as usual. This side is surrounded by water and mountains, the paddy fields are good, and the dry land is full of sand and gravel.
The Yun family was where the two brothers came from, and all they shared was the seven acres of land, and the unfertile land was given to the eldest brother, saying that this was a waste of money for his family, so Yun Renyi could say it.
Ye Cunshan said: "Do you think I'm here to have a good discussion with you? I have written the pleadings. If you cooperate today, we have something to say. If you don't cooperate, we will see you in the government. By the way, I will also ask the county master to interrogate you. What kind of crime is it to steal jewelry from your sister-in-law?"
With a guilty conscience, Yun Renyi took out this thing and pressed it against him.
But when asked about the style of the bracelet, he said that he didn't remember, and wanted to be vague and say that the weight was lighter.
Ye Cunshan said, "Which shop did you melt down?"
Yun Renyi knew that he wanted to get to the bottom of it. After thinking about it for more than ten years, even if the shop is still there, it's hard to say whether people remember it or not. He wanted to take a gamble, "The jewelry shop at the pier, I really don't remember the style."
Li Qiuju said she remembered, "You agree to let Ye Zhong work in the paper workshop, so I will tell you."
She dislikes Yun Lili's poor work and has been in pain for more than ten years, and wants her to marry a good family.
If Yun Lili gets married well, they will have something to look forward to, and the atmosphere at home will change.
Yun Renyi glanced at her, but didn't stop her.
Ye Cunshan and Yun Cheng can decide this matter.There are half of them in the workshop, and the main workers are the Ye family members, none of them have foreign surnames.
What was excluded at that time was Yuncheng's request, and he let go, adding another person would not be difficult.
Besides, Li Qiuju didn't want it for her children, but for Ye's family, so he didn't feel too much pressure to let go.
After getting the right words, Li Qiuju described the style, and Yuncheng gave Ye Qingyang the pen and paper, and listened carefully.
Ye Cunshan also took a pen and paper to write down the words she dictated.
After listening to it once, Ye Qingyang couldn't write.
Li Qiuju was short-sighted and knew that there were flowers and characters on it, but she couldn't tell what flowers and characters were.
Ye Qingyang described the size of the petals and leaves, and the thickness of the bracelet, and Ye Qingyang drew them accordingly. It has been a long time, and she can only recognize them vaguely.
Seeing their expressions, they are afraid that people will go back on their word, "You can agree in advance!"
Ye Cunshan looked at Yuncheng, "Or go to the wharf jewelry shop and ask."
Just don't hold out too much hope, the possibility of finding out is low.
Yun Cheng lowered his eyes and sighed, "Let's sign the IOU."
It's still too ideal. If it doesn't work, when the money is paid off, he will burn the IOU to his parents, which is considered an confession.
Yun Renyi underestimated the amount, and Ye Cunshan asked him to think about it, "This thick and thin bracelet cannot be worth so much silver. Go to a jewelry store to inquire. The possibility of finding the pattern is low, but it is not difficult to find out the price."
The ledger is there.
That family doesn't pay much attention to their business, they only care about money, and if they manage some, they can ask someone to check their accounts.
Yun Renyi pinched his nose and reported the exact number, "Eight taels."
Yuncheng gave Chuyin a silver exquisite ball, and after adding handwork, there were four taels.
Because of this, I asked about the price of gold, and calculated that it should be about 15 taels, before I asked his family to sign an IOU.
Otherwise, just a few taels of silver, what to sign?
Yun Renyi snorted, "That's the number, if you don't believe it, ask yourself."
"I'll ask," Yun Cheng said, "It's so little, why don't you pay it back now."
Yun Renyi didn't know when he wiped the inkpad on his hand, but now he stamped his handprint on the IOU neatly, "I will pay it off by the end of March."
He has a solid family background, and he saved it up bit by bit.
Now I can see clearly that the children are all unreliable, and he will not move the money.
Ye Zhong was about to go to work in the paper-making workshop, and it was time to marry Lili from his family. There were not many poor men in the Ye family, and he would take the dowry to fill the bills. He hadn't raised Yun Lili for so many years.
After the things were signed, Yuncheng frowned dissatisfied, and it was hard to say.
After they left, Yun Lili also tried to threaten Yun Renyi with suing the officer. She didn't want to do laundry because it was too cold.
Yun Renyi sneered, "You have a father and elder brother who are in prison. Let's see if you will marry the widower next door or the little hooligan next door."
Yun Lili wiped away her tears, thinking that the water was really ice, and her mother had just agreed with Yun Cheng that Ye Zhong could go to work in the paper-making workshop, so she said, "Then I'll talk to Ye Zhong about this. thing?"
Yun Renyi disagreed, "Today's second day of junior high school, several aunts in his family will come back to pay New Year's greetings. Doesn't it look ugly when you come to visit?"
Ye Zhong's family was able to make the marriage stand up a while ago, but now Yun Renyi can make his family's life difficult.
With packs of melon seeds and a pot of water, he strolled all over the village, and when he met people, he said that his family had found a job for Ye Zhong, and it would be shameless for him not to marry Lili.
On the other end, Yun Cheng and Ye Cunshan had nothing else to do. After thanking Ye Qingyang, they went home and put the IOUs with the broken jade hairpins, and went about their own business.
Seeing his unhappy expression, Ye Cunshan told him about the sales volume of "The Son-in-law", "The news Liu Wenbai brought back, you will be enough to buy ten or eight gold bracelets."
Yun Cheng smiled: "The money is exchanged for scolding, you have to be careful."
The scholars in the academy said that Ye Cunshan wrote it, and Yuncheng asked him to take the blame, and Ye Cunshan took the blame.
Ye Cunshan also laughed, "So whether I will be beaten by my classmates in the future depends on you."
The novel "The Son-in-law" was full of criticism in Fucheng, and all kinds of curious readers came with it. They all wanted to read this novel that everyone was angry and scolded. What kind of magic power could attract them for several days? Discussing the plot of the next book.
Therefore, Fucheng Study also invited more craftsmen to print, and the New Year's Eve was a day off for the New Year.
In several other counties along the road, there was also a gust of "Zuo Son" wind.
Ordinary people's discussion fits the plot. Some people have recruited a son-in-law. This year, when they look at their own son-in-law, they think it is profound.
"Could it be that my son-in-law, who is a bitch, is also the richest man in private?"
Therefore, many son-in-laws this year have felt the inquires from the "in-law's family". Your little silver?"
Afterwards, he asked again: "You really didn't manage the property privately? None of the shops on Shitiao Street in Fucheng are yours?"
The son-in-law almost cried, "I really have that ability, why should I be my son-in-law?"
The father-in-law and mother-in-law are unhappy, and the daughter-in-law and husband are also unhappy.
"Can't it be like my family, can't it be true love?"
The son-in-law in the novel feels aggrieved at home and outside, and readers discuss and discuss it, but it can only be explained by true love.
He just didn't know how beautiful his wife must be to make him willing to suffer this kind of grievance.
That's right, Yuncheng also used the usual routine. When describing the role of the wife, he used a lot of gorgeous rhetoric. Even if important people can't figure out what kind of beauty she is, they still think she is really beautiful.
When the novel "Zuo Son" aroused everyone's emotions to the highest level, book sellers everywhere made a decision one after another, and voted for "Family Blessed Wife".
During the Chinese New Year, everyone wants to make a big deal out of their mouths. The readers' emotions are stuck here, so it's not easy to swear, and you can't use a script that makes people angry, and change it to a plain script, just to calm them down.
This wave of water testing, the response exceeded expectations.
They don't know if there would be so many readers coming over for a change of taste if "Zui Son" wasn't there to stimulate their emotions at the beginning. They only know that they have made a lot of money this year.
The first volume of "The Son-in-Law" printed by Yu County Study was listed on the New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, someone bought it and took it home. It was almost thrown into the stove and burned when it was New Year's Eve.
The merchants who bought it early and went back to read it, so as to judge whether the book has the potential to become popular, sent someone to buy it in less than an hour.
Before closing, the books at home were sold out.
The craftsmen are also happy, the business in the shop is good, and they reward a lot of silver.
We all know that this year we have worked hard to prevent other bookstores from piracy, and we have been working with a carving knife during the years, and we want to engrave a few more copies of the second volume of "The Son-in-law", and then spread it to other places, so that their study will be much better. To make some money, they also drink soup and eat meat.
Currently the farthest place for sale is Kyoto.
In addition to the storybooks in Kyoto, there is another new item that is popular—a sweater.
First, Mr. Du from the Ministry of Rites got a lot of money, saying that it was the filial piety of the younger generation in Yu County.
The first size was woven according to the size of an adult man. Although the man in the Du family is not strong, he is also tall. Son.
Except for him, Master Du himself has a complete set. This year's New Year greetings have made his colleagues envious.
It's a pity that there are too few things when I come back, thinking that the juniors at the other end of Yu County are quite caring, and they come to Kyoto twice a year to give gifts, so I said I would bring them some things.
Master Du said: "Young Master Cheng brought some planner back last time. He said that it is good for memorizing. The younger generation in the family are all studying, so this thing is useful."
The grandfather also said that he was slow to hear, "Do you know where he called back?"
Master Du understood now, "It's also Yu County?"
Suddenly there are so many new gadgets in Yu County?
His family also opened a study in the capital, and the people from Yu County said that they wanted to sell it in the capital, so such trivial things did not reach his ears.
Still, the sales volume was really hot, and some acquaintances bought it at home. When asked about it, his wife also talked about the business, which surprised him, and he picked up the book and read it again.
He has a good temper, and he didn't feel angry after reading it. He praised all aspects before being critical: "There is still a lot of room for improvement in writing."
That space is probably the gesture of the thumb and the index finger, and when you look closer, there is a universe hidden in it.
After chatting for a few more words, I realized that the Cheng family was richer than his family. His family bought ready-made clothes, and Cheng Wenrui bought back the craftsmanship directly.
The little girl who knew how to knit sweaters taught others, not to mention that everyone in the house put on sweaters, and even sent them to the emperor and empress in the palace.
The grandfather said: "Wei County is poor. They have to spend a lot of money to travel all the way, and there are dangers along the way. When I turn back, I will bring back all the money for this book sale. Don't ask people to deduct it privately. If it spreads, it will appear that we are stingy. Also prepare some gifts in return, there are more books in Jingdu than in Yu County, our study can still print, and we will give him two copies, so the juniors can read them in exchange."
On the other side, Grand Master's Mansion.
When Cheng Wenrui came back, it seemed that he had gained a lot. In fact, he couldn't find the person he wanted to find the most. He felt ashamed of his father and had no face to see his grandfather. past.
He then reported to his family the biggest event in the field this time. He used the money to open two shops, "helped some poor people, and I have to trouble my cousin to ask someone to go to Yu County again to teach those coal mine owners how to do it." Safe mining, if you have free time, look for it along the way."
And his cousin was caught by his father for scolding his son-in-law because he was reading the scriptures, and punished him to copy the scriptures and meditate.
He thought: If there is a chance, he must meet this anonymous gentleman.
Speaking back to Yu County, Yuan Mo also learned that this best-selling script was the one he copied for Yun Cheng in a frenzy.
He felt that this kind of aggrieved can write, but why can't those who are lying and winning can't write.
People in the world still love to get something for nothing.
Different paths lead to the same goal, the poor scholar always meets a goddess and a witch to help him, not because he took the beauty's gold and silver for nothing, but also lived up to his friendship.
When he told Liu Xiaotian about this, Liu Xiaotian's face was wrinkled into a bun, "Is anyone really watching this?"
Yuan Mo: "Every son-in-law is watching,"
Liu Xiaotian: "...Either you think about it first, they will come to the county on the fourth day of the junior high school, I will help you ask Brother Cheng, and ask him to help see if it is feasible."
Yuan Mo's personality is not impatient, and he has never written a novel. He really wants to conceive something, so he nodded in agreement.
At this time, Jinghe Village has finally set up a stage.
According to the plan, there was going to be a lot of fun on the first day of the new year, but the celebration was delayed until the afternoon of the second day.
Yuncheng hasn't seen it yet, so he made an appointment with Ye Cunshan in the third year of junior high school to watch it.
He originally thought that the village had invited an opera troupe, but in fact, they were refugees from nearby villages.
It is said that these people have been in the theater troupe before, and the things are gone, but the craftsmanship is still there. They call them "little theater troupe" in private.
At the end of the year, the reservation is late, and they have to go to other places before coming after the excitement. This is the time when they earn more money throughout the year.
I can also catch up with them during the autumn harvest and perform a rice show for people.
The Chuida team gathers suona in every village, which is played loudly and energetically for funerals and happy events.
Yuncheng went down the mountain today and said he was looking for deposit money.
He saw someone on the first day of New Year's greetings, but he didn't see him on the second day of the second year, and he still missed him a little bit.
Ye Cunshan told him not to look for him, "He'll be here later, he's been enjoying himself for the past few days, and kids of the same age are annoyed when he sees him, and the show will start singing later, can he come to join in the fun?"
Ye Da was also out today, and when he met someone, he didn’t say that he gave 20 taels of silver to his son and daughter-in-law, but said: “Oh, they love me, the old man, and they wrapped me a big red envelope for the New Year, and the money came back !"
"Filial piety and filial piety are all filial piety... that's right, my son of Ye Da..."
Yun Cheng didn't notice, he wanted to tease Ye Cunshan, saying that the two brothers had the same temper.
After hearing Ye Da's words, he couldn't say anything, so he asked him: "Your father is...?"
Did he have this symptom before, or recently.
Ye Cunshan glanced over there, "It's always been like this."
Selfish, don't want to pay but want to pocket the benefits.
For himself, he would be willing to spare any shame.
Now it seems that he and Yuncheng are getting better, but in fact, they still have to wait for Chen Jinhua's child to be born.
If you really give birth to two sons, just wait and see.
Ye Cunshan told Yuncheng not to be soft-hearted, "Let's just treat our relatives politely."
Yun Cheng couldn't get along well with Ye Da at all, but in the name of an elder, he was still Ye Cunshan's biological father, so he didn't want to ignore him or show his face.
Ye Da was able to be careless on the street that day, so to put it bluntly, didn't he just look down on him?
Let's talk a few words, and the show begins.
Without a costume, with her hair up and heavy makeup on, it was "Hangou Family Celebration" on stage.
When the three generations live under the same roof, they carry out the order of Tibetan hooks, leading to blessings from the Three Stars of Fortune, Lushou and Shou.
Yuncheng hadn't had any entertainment for a long time, and he couldn't get back to his senses after watching this simple drama.
Ye Cunshan brought him food. He bought a lot of snacks for the Chinese New Year this year, and they were all nuts that were convenient to bring out. Usually, he could eat for Yuncheng to grind his teeth and satisfy his cravings.
Before he was in Yuncheng's hands, Cunyin ran over.
It was still the same red jacket with rabbit fur trim. Today, the rouge was slightly thicker, and the cheeks were flushed. He shouted to Yuncheng excitedly, "Sister-in-law! I have something to tell you!"
Yun Cheng looked at him distractedly, and Cunyin couldn't hide his gloating, "That idiot Ye Cunjin, he went to ask his elder brother for a gold bracelet and a golden exquisite ball, the one who celebrates Chinese New Year got spanked!"
After showing off for a few days, I finally got something.
Cunyin took his heart and stopped running around, and stood beside them to watch the play.
Ye Gen invites people to sing this play once a year. When he is rich, he sings a few more, when he is tight, he sings a few less, at most twice a year.
Ye Cunshan told Yuncheng, "He's afraid of being beaten by Cunjin."
Children are playing and making noise, not too much, and adults don't bother to care about it.
With gender awareness, when it comes to talking about marriage, my brother looks like a boy, and the difference is not obvious.
Yun Cheng defended himself, "You can't let him beat you up."
Ye Cunshan squeezed his hand and asked him, "Do you like children, or save money?"
Yun Cheng didn't understand what he meant, his face instantly turned redder than Cun Yin's rouged face.
"I like little kids like Saving Silver," he said.
Lively, cute and sweet.
Ye Cunshan scratched his palm, "I raised this child."
So when will they have a cub?
Yun Cheng touched the mole at the end of his eye.
The color of the mole shows that he is prone to conception, so it depends on Ye Cunshan's strength.
At the same time, I also thought that when I returned to the county this time, I would go to the medical clinic to feel my pulse and take care of my body.
The troupe was open for a day, but Yuncheng couldn't watch it all day, so he went home in the afternoon and continued to embroider the zodiac pendant. This time he embroidered a little rabbit, because Cunyin followed, and he just happened to teach others how to embroider.
He also told him the price, so that the banker immediately collected it for fun, and even the little rabbit embroidered for him wanted to sell it for money.
Du Zhichun wanted this pendant to be sent to the capital. Regardless of whether Ye Cunshan could pass the exam in the capital, they would maintain friendship with the Du family. These pendants were embroidered by Yun Cheng himself.
If anyone wants it from the Liu family, it depends on whether they want to buy his embroidery at the original price or cheaper, please save the silver embroidery.
This is also the reason why Yuncheng dared to ask for the price of the small pendant. Even if he bought it home and hired an embroiderer, unless he was skilled, he would not be able to imitate it. He used a variety of stitches in it, and these were perfected in later generations. Pass.
It is incomparable to the court embroiderer, and if the folks want to find someone who is better than him, there are not many.
This afternoon, Chuyin studied very seriously.
He doesn't have a mother to teach him, he learns from this family and that family. The needlework is meticulous and plain, there is no big mistake, and it is not very beautiful.
You can embroider a few ordinary patterns, but no finer ones.
Yuncheng drew a pattern for him on the cloth and asked him to trace the embroidery along the edge of the line.
Cunyin was dumbfounded, "Sister-in-law, can you still draw?"
Yun Cheng prevaricated him with Ye Cunshan's theory, "I am good at embroidery, but of course I am good at painting."
Cunyin really believed it, and thought that after he learned how to embroider, he could also have good painting skills.
In the afternoon, Ye Cunshan went to his home to chat with Ye Da, and brought the pepper and cypress wine he bought during the Chinese New Year.
Yuncheng was not used to the taste of both pepper wine and Tusu wine, so the couple finished the plum wine and there was still some wine left.
Ye Da didn't know it was left over, thinking that his recent behavior had finally touched his son, and asked Chen Jinhua to fry two side dishes.
Few in the village stopped working when they were pregnant. After Chen Jinhua got better, the house started to take care of herself.
Ye Cunshan told her not to do it, Chen Jinhua and Ye Da also misunderstood, thinking that Ye Cunshan was understanding for her, and finally served three dishes.
When Ye Cunshan explained the reason for his visit, Ye Da's mouth became dull, "Why do you still need to bring the savings? Spring is coming soon, and the fields are busy. The family needs a cook and laundry. Your mother's stomach will definitely not be able to get down to the ground." , Even if the food is ready, it needs to be delivered to the field.”
Ye Cunshan knew this, and he said, "Don't you have 20 taels, just invite someone to come later."
After he has been busy for a while, Ye Gen won't hold on to the whole village. Everyone knows what to do, so he just takes care of his own family's workshop, and he has done his duty.
At that time, Ye Da will be able to invite people to come over again. There is only so much work at home, and if he runs twice a day, he will have a lot of copper coins in his pocket. Some people want to come.
Ye Da disagreed, "The village says I'm showing off, what does it look like if I invite you?"
Ye Cunshan poked his heart, "I don't think my cousin's family is too busy."
Sister Chan of Ye Yan's family is so young, she has to be taken care of by someone else.
Ye Dapan was heartbroken, but still didn't want to suffer.
Only then did Ye Cunshan tell him that Cunyin went to learn the craft, "It didn't take long for him to knit sweaters, and he earned his own money and came back. What's the use of staying at home to farm the land?"
Ye Da: You just say that I'm worthless.
Silver.
Ye Da is in love.
He also has a sense of urgency. At this age, he has to start again.
