A little sweet through the fragrant
Chapter 54
Ye Cunshan rubbed his forehead, it was not easy for Yuncheng to be so excited for this kind of small bump that only appeared when he was angry.
He agreed.
Yuncheng Maliu'er went to wash his hands and took a clean handkerchief, and put Ye Cunshan on his lap. He also dipped the handkerchief in water, and used soap balls to wash away the oil around the pimples before doing it.
It's a pity that it only grew today and it is not ripe.
It was just a red bump with white in the middle, but after some manipulation by him, it turned into a small red envelope.
Ye Cunshan didn't complain of pain, and Yun Cheng was also very guilty.
"It's not cooked yet, let's continue to squeeze."
Ye Cunshan couldn't get up, and continued to lie on Yuncheng's lap, "Are you careless now?"
Usually say anything to show a disgusted and disgusted expression.
Yun Cheng waved his hand.
It's the same, it's very decompressing.
He asked Ye Cunshan to keep it for him, "You are not allowed to touch it, do you hear me?"
Ye Cunshan is not uncommon to touch.
It’s almost Qingming Festival when I go home this time. The family worships the ancestors four times a year, and it’s hard to run back and forth. This time I will stay a few days longer when I return to the village.
Except for a change of clothes, the main thing is Ye Cunshan's books, which he took with him this time in a small bamboo box.
The silver was not returned this time, and the paper shop was supplied with wool thread again, some of it was used for dyeing, and some was put in the paper shop for people to knit sweaters and trousers.
He still needs to practice embroidery, and recently he has also become obsessed with going to teahouses to listen to books.
The storyteller's son-in-law was more exciting than he himself, so he didn't go back to see Ye Da's face.
I still remember that Ye Dayi was angry with him, and the child flattened his mouth, and went to the street to buy some things for his brother and sister-in-law to take home when he was not happy.
Ye Cunshan bullied him and divided the things that Cunyin bought into two halves, "We bought them together."
Deposit silver:? ?
Yuncheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he made up a handful of copper coins for him, put the silver in a small bag, and whispered to Yuncheng: "My brother is getting more and more shameless."
Yuncheng felt that he was getting more and more courageous, so he could be heard at this distance, even at a lower volume, okay?
Cunyin hid behind Yuncheng and made a face at Ye Cunshan.
They also left another silver for the deposit, and if Yun Renyi came to the county by himself, they would ask someone from the paper shop to take it to the jewelry shop clerk.
This time I am going back on leave, so Yuncheng has to go to the Du family's study and explain to his family that he will be writing manuscripts in the countryside. Then we will see if he will continue to ask Yuan Mo to transcribe a volume, or ask Qiming to transcribe and fill in the words. There is no need to come to him.
It’s a pity for Buddy Yu, “If you count the days, the boat going south will come back. If I don’t plan to go with Mr. Lu, I can also come back with another merchant’s boat. When I know the reaction from other places, I can give you more money.”
The money couldn't escape, Yuncheng said that he would come back to get it next time.
Back to the village is still a rented donkey cart, all the way out, and many candidates leave the county one after another.
These are the scholars who were not selected and could pack their bags and go home.
Those who are selected, those with a stronger family background, will wait for the date of the government test and set off directly from Yu County to Fucheng.
Those with poor family backgrounds would ask someone to run errands to deliver letters, and they would take the first step.
Yuncheng looked at them, as if he saw Ye Cunshan rushing for the exam, and asked him: "Did you take the exam alone before? Did my cousin come with you?"
Of course Ye Cunshan took the test alone.
He has an independent personality, and he ran around the city early. When he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he lied about his age and tricked a businessman to take him on a boat to go to other places. When he was older and literate, he would go by himself.
If you are not familiar with the exam, you will have seniors to guide you. No matter how bad it is, when the exam comes, a bunch of people will go in one direction, so he won't get lost.
But Ye Cunshan recently tasted the sweetness of showing weakness, so he wanted to sell it badly. He opened his mouth, thinking that he was going to Fucheng for the college examination, and there would be so many people there. .”
Most of the students from poor families prepare for and rush for the exam independently. If they really need to be taken care of by their wife and husband, they will also take care of their daily life after they stabilize.
Other scholars would bring a bookboy to serve them busy, so he was not compared to others.
Yuncheng praised him, from being capable and independent to being strong and persistent. After hearing it, Ye Cunshan found that he was repeating words indiscriminately, and added "young eagle spreading its wings" and "golden rooster independence", and Ye Cunshan slapped him. The little tugger on the back of Yuncheng's head was shaking back and forth.
Yun Cheng refused: "What are you doing! I praise you!"
Is that a boast?
Blind.
There was a quarrel among elementary school students on the way, and they tacitly shut up when they arrived in the village.
After passing the village entrance, I went to visit Uncle Ye's house as usual.
Ye Yan didn't come back until Xiumu, so he stayed in the academy to study hard.
The things they brought home were very simple, and they gave Ye Cunshan a tael of silver, and asked Ye Cunshan to help cut two catties of meat, buy a few ribs, and buy some sugar if there was any more, so that Sister Chan could sweeten her mouth.
When this thing was brought in, someone saw it and asked, Ye Cunshan said that he brought it back for Ye Yan, and then passed it to Ye Da's ear by the river, and it could automatically translate: Ye Yan bought it, and Ye Cunshan and Yuncheng also bought it.
He almost chased after him to ask!
As the temperature rises, before spring plowing begins, the village has to build a paper-making workshop, and the site is chosen in an open space along the river.
The arrangement for Ye Da is not tiring but very trivial errands and chores. When people see him idle, they will talk about him. He just wanted to find someone to complain, but he was called by several people, so annoying that he wanted to leave. people!
At noon, Ye Da strolled around to inquire. Ye Cunshan and Yun Cheng didn't go home, they were still at Uncle Ye's house.
If you go back to the village, if you don’t go back to your own home, or if you don’t see your parents and grandparents, you will go to your relatives!
Unfilial son!
Not only went to Ye Cunshan's relative's house, but also went to Yun Cheng's "relative" house.
The two of them set off early in the morning, and when they returned before noon, Ye Cunshan went back to take out the quilt to dry in the sun, and burned the kang to remove the moisture.
We didn't have a hot pot to cook, so we had lunch at Uncle Ye's house.
During the period, I also inquired about Yun Renyi's family.
Indeed, as Yun Cheng said, during the few days when Yun Renyi went to the county, something happened to the Yun family.
Li Qiuju was moved by Yun Guangshi's persuasion, and she didn't want her eldest son to lie on the bed and be a useless person, and the house there would smell of rancidity!
After listening to her, she sold a few pieces of land and a few piglets raised by her family. After getting the money, she asked a doctor to come and see Yun Guangshi's wound.
The time was too short, and Yun Guangshi's injury did not heal.
When he was a long-term guard in the Wang family, he also had a few good friends.
He ordered Yun Lili to invite someone to come over, "If you finish this matter, I'll just pretend that the thing you complained about me didn't happen."
Yun Lili can no longer count on her own father.After the second brother separated from the family, he only cared about Yunxiang and ignored her at all.
She doesn't trust Yun Guangshi, but now she can only choose to trust him, otherwise Yun Renyi will come back, and she will be married at any time.
So when Yun Renyi came back, he saw a tall and strong middle-aged man with a scar on his face.
Let's make a fuss, but we can't make a fuss.
In the past few days, there is no need for a penny, and Li Qiuju loses his temper a lot, and he can't control him anymore.
Mrs. Zhao said: "When I just came back a few days ago, it seemed that I had fainted from anger, and I don't know if she was pretending. Now that Yunniang goes outside to fetch water or something, she can always hear the excitement in her ears, and the house is still noisy. .”
After all, Yun Renyi was a real father, Yun Guangshi dared to fight against him, and didn't dare to really do anything to him, Yun Renyi relied on this point to fight desperately.
Anyway, it is wasted.
Yun Cheng was relieved to hear that others were fine.
——If something happens, don’t fall down at this time, or you will waste the more than 30 taels of silver you invested earlier!
After dinner, he came to the door with Ye Cunshan, asking Yun Renyi to hurry up and go to work in the county.
Yun Renyi didn't eat well or sleep well at home.
When I came back, I wanted to rest and enjoy the happiness, but I ended up arguing with people every day.
He can't even eat meat, and if he steams an egg, Li Qiuju and Yun Lili can share half a bowl each, and he can't even eat a spoonful of it!
So only a few days later, when we met again, Yun Renyi also became old and haggard visible to the naked eye.
He said he had no money.
Ye Cunshan and Yuncheng would definitely not give it.
Ye Cunshan said to Yun Guangshi, "You haven't healed from your injury yet, do you still remember why it happened like this?"
Yun Guangshi had been in prison before, and had indeed been beaten.
Seeing Master Wang's house collapse, the steward who used to be very prestigious in front of him was also arrested because of taking the initiative to meddle, and was sentenced to exile with Master Wang for thousands of miles.
Of course he was afraid.
Yun Renyi was going to the county to get acquainted with the style, and Yun Guang was the most knowledgeable at home, so he didn't need someone to look after him, so he, the guard brother, could follow him back to the county.
"Look at my father, don't tell him that someone has stolen money again."
The subtext is also: don't let him go to the county to sue me for being unfilial.
Someone sent it, and Ye Cunshan saved himself a trip.
Yun Guangshi was still stingy, so he didn't give the money to his father, but gave it to his guard brother, to ensure that Yun Renyi had a place to sleep, and it was enough if he didn't starve to death.
So Ye Cunshan doesn't have to worry that he has extra money to manage.
Ye Cunshan asked them to go to the paper store to find someone, and then someone would bring money to the jewelry store clerk, so that they could continue to read the style book.
Before leaving, he gave Yun Lili a sharp knife.
The girl sat next to her with a weak voice, lowered her head and lowered her hands, as if she was gentle and harmless, but in fact, she kept looking at Yuncheng from the corner of her eyes, and she knew she had no good intentions.
Things went well, and it was still early when they came out, so the couple decided to go home and clean up the house.
Yun Cheng felt dazed, "How did it go so smoothly?"
Every time I came here before, I had to break it for a while.
There was a lot of noise in the house, which gave him a headache.
Ye Cunshan said: "Yun Guangshi couldn't bear to do anything to his father, but his father was capable of righteously exterminating relatives, so it depends on whether he can be watched. He really went to the county government and was accused of being unfilial by his own father. The county lord also has a criminal record, so he can't win."
An emoji flashed through Yuncheng's mind: Let's fight! .jpg
He couldn't help laughing, Ye Cunshan asked him what he was laughing at, but Yuncheng didn't tell him, and when he got his things home, he drew an emoji with a pen and paper.
Ye Cunshan: "..."
Ye Cunshan suddenly asked, "Is this a popular picture album in Hades?" after not playing black and white impermanence for a long time, Yun Cheng was stunned.
Then Yun Cheng stared at him: "No!"
Ye Cunshan shrugged, went to the room first to search for old clothes and came out, covered the outside to prevent dust as usual, and wrapped his hair with a cloth towel, one cleaned the walls and corners, and the other swept the floor and wiped the table.
When they came back this time, they only cleaned up one room, which was Ye Cunshan's room.
His room is the master bedroom, which is bigger.
The house in the mountains has a large bathtub, and the kang is heated for a day, and the hot water comes out in a pot. The couple didn't waste it, and took a bath together.
In the paper-making workshop at the foot of the mountain, there will be people watching at night to boil the bark, not afraid that it will dry out the hair.
Ye Cunshan refilled the water a few times, and the two of them had a quick soak.
Even when Yuncheng was rubbing his back, he was still bored. Ye Cunshan was tickled by his touch, and asked Yuncheng if he was taking advantage.
Yuncheng took advantage of it and said stubbornly, "What's the matter? You dislike me for being weak, so just rub it yourself."
Ye Cunshan: "...you were waiting."
Their residence in the mountains was said to be at the foot of the mountain, but in fact they had to go up more than 100 meters, which was still an uphill road.
After descending to the foot of the mountain, there is still a wasteland, which is a serious deviation from the mountain village.
He had to bake his hair, Ye Cunshan endured not to deal with him, thinking this time he should just take the big tub away.
It won't be long before I warm up, and I won't be afraid of catching a cold after taking a bath and messing around.
To their surprise, there are quite a lot of people who go to have their hair baked at night. They are all men who are busy building houses during the day and only wash their hair and take a shower when they go home at night.
The couple deliberately found a place with few people, and there were people chatting nearby.
Seeing the two of them, he even forcibly invites them.
"I heard that you two bought meat and ribs for Uncle Ye's house, but didn't you buy them for Ye Da?"
Even if Ye Cunshan wanted to be angry with Ye Da, he would not take advantage of Ye Yan's filial piety.
He explained again eloquently, "It's not yet the middle of the month to rest, I came back from the academy on leave, and the house has to be tidied up, so I don't have time to go there."
No one asked him why he didn't have time to go to Master Ye, but to Second Uncle Ye's house when he was free.
After all, everyone in Ye's family has no children to help, his wife is elderly and pregnant, and there are two old people above him. Ye Da himself was arrested as a young man and went to the river to help.
When they got home, they had to turn around and help the house, so they had no time to clean up their own house.
When it comes to the house, it is necessary to tell them about the small broken house of Yun Cheng's house.
"It has been repaired. Wang Zu asked us to surround a small courtyard wall outside. You can go and have a look when you are free."
When I left the village last time, I was stopped by Ye Youfu's son-in-law, who said he would help with repairs.
The couple gave money, the house was the house, and the courtyard wall was added.
The river was in full swing, and they didn't pass by it on their way home today, so they didn't have time to see it.
After baking his hair in the evening, he walked by the river and stopped by to have a look. Yuncheng was satisfied.
Ye Cunshan told him by the way, "I said before that in summer, we should build a house on the ground below. Otherwise, when you come back in summer, there will be many snakes and insects on the mountain. You can't stand it. Now look, or we can live in this house." ? Anyway, it won’t last long every time I come back.”
The outer courtyard wall has been expanded a bit, and if necessary in the future, a side room can be built on the side.
If you dislike the small space, you can also move the stove room to the side room, and the main room will be used as the main room for sleeping people.
Yun Cheng is fine, "Then I will find time to ask Wang Zu to see when I am free, and arrange someone to build the ear room for us."
"Don't be together, study hard."
It was late at home, and the two of them didn't make a fuss.
The next morning, Ye Cunshan took Yuncheng down the mountain to have a meal, and everyone went to Ye.
Cunyin was willing to spend money and bought a large bag of brown sugar for Ye Da.
Ye Cunshan bullied Cunyin when he left, but when he got home he still said, "Cunyin bought it for you."
Ye Da was already intimidated by Ye Cunshan, and he relaxed when he heard that it was a gift bought by depositing silver.
Cunyin is different from this naughty son, and he will definitely not buy him shabby stuff.
Before opening it, Ye Da didn't say anything.
Seeing that it was a bag of brown sugar, he grinned.
Without saying a word, Chen Jinhua took it away from him, "This candy is good, just get me a brown sugar egg."
She is very good at coaxing people, "One for each father and mother, our eldest son has to eat one, Brother Cheng also wants one, there are exactly five eggs at home, I will cook them!"
Ye Da:? ?
"What about me? My son bought it for me!"
Chen Jinhua rolled her eyes, "You are angry like a steamed stuffed bun. You are full of anger every day. What brown sugar eggs do you eat? There are only five eggs in the house. If you want to eat them, go and check if the hen has laid eggs, and point to my big belly woman bending over to pick up eggs." ah!"
Ye Da's family status is undoubtedly revealed.
Yun Cheng took a sip of thick rice porridge with a small bowl in his hand, and couldn't remember Chen Jinhua's misery before, and he was afraid that Ye Da would not want her all day long.
He glanced at Ye Cunshan, Ye Cunshan was not interested in going home, so he just talked to his grandma, and his relationship with his parents remained the same.
Yun Cheng thought about his relationship with Yun Renyi's family, turned his eyes to Chen Jinhua who had already entered the stove, and sighed in his heart.
It's okay to come back later.
Chen Jinhua kept her promise, except for Ye Da, everyone had one brown sugar egg.
Ye Da almost dropped the bowl.
Liu Cuiying picks up eggs every day, and she knows how many eggs there are in the family.
The spring plowing had not started yet, neither she nor the old man ate eggs every day, mainly for Chen Jinhua, who was pregnant with twins, exhausting her body.
Although it sounds like a joke, there are indeed only five eggs.
There are only five eggs, and Ye Da is not convinced.
From his point of view, the bottom of the food chain can only be Yun Cheng.
Who made him a daughter-in-law.
Still a buddy.
But he knew that the daughter-in-law here was very powerful and could earn money, so he dared to look at others and kept silent.
Yuncheng was speechless for a while, he couldn't eat such a sweet thing early in the morning, so he didn't eat it himself, so he gave the egg to Ye Cunshan and scooped it into a bowl.
Ye Cunshan knew his taste, so he was not polite to him, and immediately took a bite of the soft-boiled egg.
Ye Da also looked at Yun Cheng's bowl.
Yun Cheng:? ? ?
How shameless!
Ye Cunshan also regretted bringing Yuncheng here to have a meal. In the early morning, his good mood was gone.
The two of them were leaving, and Ye Da wanted to leave someone to talk about repairing the house.
"Didn't you say that I'll fix it for you? Why did you let Ye Cheng go?"
After the workshops in the village were built, spring plowing began seamlessly. Ye Da had to be busy until the next farm slack after the autumn harvest, when he had time to harass him and Yun Cheng.
And in June and July, Chen Jinhua will give birth. Counting the months, Ye Dade will wash diapers at home during the slack season this year.
Ye Cunshan suddenly felt that the sugar water was not sweet anymore.
Most of Chuyin's diapers hadn't been washed, and he bought him candy, what a fart.
It's really better to give it to Chen Jinhua and tell her to take care of her body, so that she can take care of her own baby in the future.
Ye Da didn't have time to spare, so Ye Cunshan didn't talk to Xu Xu, "Do you look like you are working? Such a small house, from the Chinese New Year to now, if Ye Cheng didn't help repair it, a few snowfalls in winter, That house has already collapsed!"
Ye Da choked, "Why did you fall early!? The weather was bad before, and you asked your father to work for people in heavy snow? I went when the weather was fine, and Ye Cheng was there, and he said you gave money , I don’t even see a point in working for you!”
Ye Cunshan: "Didn't I give you silver? Didn't I give you 20 taels?"
Ye Da: "..."
A few years ago, I was in a daze for a while, and I was in a hurry to repair the relationship with my son and daughter-in-law.
He also felt that his son suffered a lot from being a son-in-law, and no one would beat him up in the future, so he took the coffin and gave it to Ye Cunshan, asking him not to become a son-in-law.
Later, when I thought about it, he didn’t regret it much. Firstly, Ye Cunshan didn’t want the money, and secondly, although his son was angry with him and his daughter-in-law didn’t like to talk to him, no one in the village said that their family relationship was not good.
When he really died in the future, Ye Cunshan had to pretend to be a filial son.
Now mentioning these 20 taels again, Ye Da finally realized Ye Cunshan's thick skin.
"That's the silver I gave you!"
Ye Cunshan had already led Yuncheng to stand up, speaking a bit like Yuncheng when he was unreasonable, "So what? If you give it to me, it's mine. If I give it to you again, then I'll give you 20 taels."
Ye Da was scolded by him, smelling the smell of brown sugar and eggs all over the room, he was not in the mood to eat.
Ye Cunshan felt refreshed and took Yuncheng to eat something else.
Passing by the door of Ye Hu's house, I went in and bought two crucian carp, pulled two white radishes from his vegetable garden, and went home to cook fish soup.
After all this tossing, I will explain everything here in the morning.
The vegetable garden at home has not been managed for a long time. After the previous vegetables were eaten, they were not planted and were empty.
Yuncheng said: "The meat dishes made by the sister-in-law in the lobby are delicious, let's go to her house to have a meal."
The lobby's sister-in-law, Liu Sanyue, is Ye Hu's wife, a woman who can hold the spoon when worshiping ancestors, needless to say her cooking skills.
Ye Hu didn't lose weight after marriage, and his son was also a big fat boy, well raised.
So I bought fish and pulled radishes in the morning, and the two of them came to eat again at noon.
Ye Hu was worrying about how to send his son to the academy. The couple didn't beat him honestly in mixed doubles. Seeing that Ye Cunshan was very welcome, "Give me an idea."
It is clear to the outside world that it is to make money by writing scripts.
There are also other thoughts in it. Only when you can read and write can you be a small manager in the shop or workshop.
Qingyang is a brother, he will be a husband after marriage, and he can work as an accountant in a paper shop.
It's not the same treatment as his brothers, who are big-bodied and three-thick, who can't read a few big characters. They have to deliver goods in cold and hot weather, and they do hard work.
Ye Cunshan used to be solid, and it went well when he settled down. Ye Hu wanted to learn from it.
Yun Cheng listened with his ears up, and he knew that Ye Cunshan was running around and had seen the outside world, so he wanted to study, but he didn't know the details inside.
In the end, the reason was very simple, "When I first went to the pier, I saw a lot of laborers carrying goods, including old and young, and young and middle-aged."
The sons of families with better conditions in their village are all strong and strong.
Who doesn't boast of strength in the village?
Ye Cunshan was also praised in the past.
He can farm, hunt and fish, catch snakes and dig out bird nests, and he can bring up his younger brother single-handedly.
Being exaggerated too much, I naturally have arrogance in my heart.
Looking back, I saw many people like him.
Those people are stronger than him, and I learned from the conversation that they are also old farmers who are better at farming than him.
So what?After a day of coolie work, you still have to bow your knees and be careful to curry favor with the foreman. Otherwise, if you deduct a little bit, the whole day's effort will be in vain, and you dare not make a scene or make a statement.
If the foreman was a talented scholar, Ye Cunshan would not say anything.
Studying costs money, and cultivate scholars, who can easily sit there and record work and get money.
But the literacy level of most foremen was so low that he couldn't bear to look directly at them.
That year, Ye Cunshan also studied with his brothers for a few days.
Both Ye Wangzu and Ye Qingyang read it out, and he couldn't read a few words so he looked down on the foreman.
When Yuncheng heard this, he suddenly thought that he had just crossed over, and Ye Cunshan wanted to take him to the county to find a job. At that time, he also said that it would be best for him to stay in Du's house as a book boy.
At that time, I will learn to read and write, and I will leave the Du family when I turn back, and I will have other ways of life.
The dock workers can get two taels of silver every month.
His eyes were sour and hot, and he wanted to cry for no reason, feeling that he had never understood Ye Cunshan.
Thinking of the show off in his character, he also went from being tolerant to understanding.
After all, what Ye Cunshan was proud of in the past is not worth mentioning in this world.
And what others admire is exactly what he lacks the most.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high.He only deeply understood the meaning of this sentence when Ye Yan had already passed the Tongsheng exam.
Ye Cunshan told Ye Hu: "Don't hit him, go back to the paper shop to deliver the goods next time, take Xiaohu with you, and take him to the pier to see what all the strong people are doing, and what the weak scholar is doing .”
The room is only this big, and Xiaohu is still young, so he can't understand. He only knows that he can go to the county to play, and he is crazy about it.
Liu Sanyue listened to these words.
In the past, she didn't think highly of scholars. Even if a "Wenqu star" like Liu Wenbai came out of Dagu Village, he could get 100 taels of silver for a book.
Now she can afford it.
Because of the paper workshop, but also because of the paper shop.
When these two things are built in the village, the first to be promising are the literate group of people.
In the future, when the ethnology is established in the village, Ye Yan will go in quietly and become a teacher.
And her man has to do hard work for others.
The author has something to say:
I found that the update is regular, the ones with more words have a plot, and the few words are emotional dramas. Looking at the progress bar in the next chapter, it should be pure sugar!
I went to write. It should be around twelve o'clock, which is relatively late, so you don't have to wait!
Good night, readers!
see you tomorrow!
He agreed.
Yuncheng Maliu'er went to wash his hands and took a clean handkerchief, and put Ye Cunshan on his lap. He also dipped the handkerchief in water, and used soap balls to wash away the oil around the pimples before doing it.
It's a pity that it only grew today and it is not ripe.
It was just a red bump with white in the middle, but after some manipulation by him, it turned into a small red envelope.
Ye Cunshan didn't complain of pain, and Yun Cheng was also very guilty.
"It's not cooked yet, let's continue to squeeze."
Ye Cunshan couldn't get up, and continued to lie on Yuncheng's lap, "Are you careless now?"
Usually say anything to show a disgusted and disgusted expression.
Yun Cheng waved his hand.
It's the same, it's very decompressing.
He asked Ye Cunshan to keep it for him, "You are not allowed to touch it, do you hear me?"
Ye Cunshan is not uncommon to touch.
It’s almost Qingming Festival when I go home this time. The family worships the ancestors four times a year, and it’s hard to run back and forth. This time I will stay a few days longer when I return to the village.
Except for a change of clothes, the main thing is Ye Cunshan's books, which he took with him this time in a small bamboo box.
The silver was not returned this time, and the paper shop was supplied with wool thread again, some of it was used for dyeing, and some was put in the paper shop for people to knit sweaters and trousers.
He still needs to practice embroidery, and recently he has also become obsessed with going to teahouses to listen to books.
The storyteller's son-in-law was more exciting than he himself, so he didn't go back to see Ye Da's face.
I still remember that Ye Dayi was angry with him, and the child flattened his mouth, and went to the street to buy some things for his brother and sister-in-law to take home when he was not happy.
Ye Cunshan bullied him and divided the things that Cunyin bought into two halves, "We bought them together."
Deposit silver:? ?
Yuncheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he made up a handful of copper coins for him, put the silver in a small bag, and whispered to Yuncheng: "My brother is getting more and more shameless."
Yuncheng felt that he was getting more and more courageous, so he could be heard at this distance, even at a lower volume, okay?
Cunyin hid behind Yuncheng and made a face at Ye Cunshan.
They also left another silver for the deposit, and if Yun Renyi came to the county by himself, they would ask someone from the paper shop to take it to the jewelry shop clerk.
This time I am going back on leave, so Yuncheng has to go to the Du family's study and explain to his family that he will be writing manuscripts in the countryside. Then we will see if he will continue to ask Yuan Mo to transcribe a volume, or ask Qiming to transcribe and fill in the words. There is no need to come to him.
It’s a pity for Buddy Yu, “If you count the days, the boat going south will come back. If I don’t plan to go with Mr. Lu, I can also come back with another merchant’s boat. When I know the reaction from other places, I can give you more money.”
The money couldn't escape, Yuncheng said that he would come back to get it next time.
Back to the village is still a rented donkey cart, all the way out, and many candidates leave the county one after another.
These are the scholars who were not selected and could pack their bags and go home.
Those who are selected, those with a stronger family background, will wait for the date of the government test and set off directly from Yu County to Fucheng.
Those with poor family backgrounds would ask someone to run errands to deliver letters, and they would take the first step.
Yuncheng looked at them, as if he saw Ye Cunshan rushing for the exam, and asked him: "Did you take the exam alone before? Did my cousin come with you?"
Of course Ye Cunshan took the test alone.
He has an independent personality, and he ran around the city early. When he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he lied about his age and tricked a businessman to take him on a boat to go to other places. When he was older and literate, he would go by himself.
If you are not familiar with the exam, you will have seniors to guide you. No matter how bad it is, when the exam comes, a bunch of people will go in one direction, so he won't get lost.
But Ye Cunshan recently tasted the sweetness of showing weakness, so he wanted to sell it badly. He opened his mouth, thinking that he was going to Fucheng for the college examination, and there would be so many people there. .”
Most of the students from poor families prepare for and rush for the exam independently. If they really need to be taken care of by their wife and husband, they will also take care of their daily life after they stabilize.
Other scholars would bring a bookboy to serve them busy, so he was not compared to others.
Yuncheng praised him, from being capable and independent to being strong and persistent. After hearing it, Ye Cunshan found that he was repeating words indiscriminately, and added "young eagle spreading its wings" and "golden rooster independence", and Ye Cunshan slapped him. The little tugger on the back of Yuncheng's head was shaking back and forth.
Yun Cheng refused: "What are you doing! I praise you!"
Is that a boast?
Blind.
There was a quarrel among elementary school students on the way, and they tacitly shut up when they arrived in the village.
After passing the village entrance, I went to visit Uncle Ye's house as usual.
Ye Yan didn't come back until Xiumu, so he stayed in the academy to study hard.
The things they brought home were very simple, and they gave Ye Cunshan a tael of silver, and asked Ye Cunshan to help cut two catties of meat, buy a few ribs, and buy some sugar if there was any more, so that Sister Chan could sweeten her mouth.
When this thing was brought in, someone saw it and asked, Ye Cunshan said that he brought it back for Ye Yan, and then passed it to Ye Da's ear by the river, and it could automatically translate: Ye Yan bought it, and Ye Cunshan and Yuncheng also bought it.
He almost chased after him to ask!
As the temperature rises, before spring plowing begins, the village has to build a paper-making workshop, and the site is chosen in an open space along the river.
The arrangement for Ye Da is not tiring but very trivial errands and chores. When people see him idle, they will talk about him. He just wanted to find someone to complain, but he was called by several people, so annoying that he wanted to leave. people!
At noon, Ye Da strolled around to inquire. Ye Cunshan and Yun Cheng didn't go home, they were still at Uncle Ye's house.
If you go back to the village, if you don’t go back to your own home, or if you don’t see your parents and grandparents, you will go to your relatives!
Unfilial son!
Not only went to Ye Cunshan's relative's house, but also went to Yun Cheng's "relative" house.
The two of them set off early in the morning, and when they returned before noon, Ye Cunshan went back to take out the quilt to dry in the sun, and burned the kang to remove the moisture.
We didn't have a hot pot to cook, so we had lunch at Uncle Ye's house.
During the period, I also inquired about Yun Renyi's family.
Indeed, as Yun Cheng said, during the few days when Yun Renyi went to the county, something happened to the Yun family.
Li Qiuju was moved by Yun Guangshi's persuasion, and she didn't want her eldest son to lie on the bed and be a useless person, and the house there would smell of rancidity!
After listening to her, she sold a few pieces of land and a few piglets raised by her family. After getting the money, she asked a doctor to come and see Yun Guangshi's wound.
The time was too short, and Yun Guangshi's injury did not heal.
When he was a long-term guard in the Wang family, he also had a few good friends.
He ordered Yun Lili to invite someone to come over, "If you finish this matter, I'll just pretend that the thing you complained about me didn't happen."
Yun Lili can no longer count on her own father.After the second brother separated from the family, he only cared about Yunxiang and ignored her at all.
She doesn't trust Yun Guangshi, but now she can only choose to trust him, otherwise Yun Renyi will come back, and she will be married at any time.
So when Yun Renyi came back, he saw a tall and strong middle-aged man with a scar on his face.
Let's make a fuss, but we can't make a fuss.
In the past few days, there is no need for a penny, and Li Qiuju loses his temper a lot, and he can't control him anymore.
Mrs. Zhao said: "When I just came back a few days ago, it seemed that I had fainted from anger, and I don't know if she was pretending. Now that Yunniang goes outside to fetch water or something, she can always hear the excitement in her ears, and the house is still noisy. .”
After all, Yun Renyi was a real father, Yun Guangshi dared to fight against him, and didn't dare to really do anything to him, Yun Renyi relied on this point to fight desperately.
Anyway, it is wasted.
Yun Cheng was relieved to hear that others were fine.
——If something happens, don’t fall down at this time, or you will waste the more than 30 taels of silver you invested earlier!
After dinner, he came to the door with Ye Cunshan, asking Yun Renyi to hurry up and go to work in the county.
Yun Renyi didn't eat well or sleep well at home.
When I came back, I wanted to rest and enjoy the happiness, but I ended up arguing with people every day.
He can't even eat meat, and if he steams an egg, Li Qiuju and Yun Lili can share half a bowl each, and he can't even eat a spoonful of it!
So only a few days later, when we met again, Yun Renyi also became old and haggard visible to the naked eye.
He said he had no money.
Ye Cunshan and Yuncheng would definitely not give it.
Ye Cunshan said to Yun Guangshi, "You haven't healed from your injury yet, do you still remember why it happened like this?"
Yun Guangshi had been in prison before, and had indeed been beaten.
Seeing Master Wang's house collapse, the steward who used to be very prestigious in front of him was also arrested because of taking the initiative to meddle, and was sentenced to exile with Master Wang for thousands of miles.
Of course he was afraid.
Yun Renyi was going to the county to get acquainted with the style, and Yun Guang was the most knowledgeable at home, so he didn't need someone to look after him, so he, the guard brother, could follow him back to the county.
"Look at my father, don't tell him that someone has stolen money again."
The subtext is also: don't let him go to the county to sue me for being unfilial.
Someone sent it, and Ye Cunshan saved himself a trip.
Yun Guangshi was still stingy, so he didn't give the money to his father, but gave it to his guard brother, to ensure that Yun Renyi had a place to sleep, and it was enough if he didn't starve to death.
So Ye Cunshan doesn't have to worry that he has extra money to manage.
Ye Cunshan asked them to go to the paper store to find someone, and then someone would bring money to the jewelry store clerk, so that they could continue to read the style book.
Before leaving, he gave Yun Lili a sharp knife.
The girl sat next to her with a weak voice, lowered her head and lowered her hands, as if she was gentle and harmless, but in fact, she kept looking at Yuncheng from the corner of her eyes, and she knew she had no good intentions.
Things went well, and it was still early when they came out, so the couple decided to go home and clean up the house.
Yun Cheng felt dazed, "How did it go so smoothly?"
Every time I came here before, I had to break it for a while.
There was a lot of noise in the house, which gave him a headache.
Ye Cunshan said: "Yun Guangshi couldn't bear to do anything to his father, but his father was capable of righteously exterminating relatives, so it depends on whether he can be watched. He really went to the county government and was accused of being unfilial by his own father. The county lord also has a criminal record, so he can't win."
An emoji flashed through Yuncheng's mind: Let's fight! .jpg
He couldn't help laughing, Ye Cunshan asked him what he was laughing at, but Yuncheng didn't tell him, and when he got his things home, he drew an emoji with a pen and paper.
Ye Cunshan: "..."
Ye Cunshan suddenly asked, "Is this a popular picture album in Hades?" after not playing black and white impermanence for a long time, Yun Cheng was stunned.
Then Yun Cheng stared at him: "No!"
Ye Cunshan shrugged, went to the room first to search for old clothes and came out, covered the outside to prevent dust as usual, and wrapped his hair with a cloth towel, one cleaned the walls and corners, and the other swept the floor and wiped the table.
When they came back this time, they only cleaned up one room, which was Ye Cunshan's room.
His room is the master bedroom, which is bigger.
The house in the mountains has a large bathtub, and the kang is heated for a day, and the hot water comes out in a pot. The couple didn't waste it, and took a bath together.
In the paper-making workshop at the foot of the mountain, there will be people watching at night to boil the bark, not afraid that it will dry out the hair.
Ye Cunshan refilled the water a few times, and the two of them had a quick soak.
Even when Yuncheng was rubbing his back, he was still bored. Ye Cunshan was tickled by his touch, and asked Yuncheng if he was taking advantage.
Yuncheng took advantage of it and said stubbornly, "What's the matter? You dislike me for being weak, so just rub it yourself."
Ye Cunshan: "...you were waiting."
Their residence in the mountains was said to be at the foot of the mountain, but in fact they had to go up more than 100 meters, which was still an uphill road.
After descending to the foot of the mountain, there is still a wasteland, which is a serious deviation from the mountain village.
He had to bake his hair, Ye Cunshan endured not to deal with him, thinking this time he should just take the big tub away.
It won't be long before I warm up, and I won't be afraid of catching a cold after taking a bath and messing around.
To their surprise, there are quite a lot of people who go to have their hair baked at night. They are all men who are busy building houses during the day and only wash their hair and take a shower when they go home at night.
The couple deliberately found a place with few people, and there were people chatting nearby.
Seeing the two of them, he even forcibly invites them.
"I heard that you two bought meat and ribs for Uncle Ye's house, but didn't you buy them for Ye Da?"
Even if Ye Cunshan wanted to be angry with Ye Da, he would not take advantage of Ye Yan's filial piety.
He explained again eloquently, "It's not yet the middle of the month to rest, I came back from the academy on leave, and the house has to be tidied up, so I don't have time to go there."
No one asked him why he didn't have time to go to Master Ye, but to Second Uncle Ye's house when he was free.
After all, everyone in Ye's family has no children to help, his wife is elderly and pregnant, and there are two old people above him. Ye Da himself was arrested as a young man and went to the river to help.
When they got home, they had to turn around and help the house, so they had no time to clean up their own house.
When it comes to the house, it is necessary to tell them about the small broken house of Yun Cheng's house.
"It has been repaired. Wang Zu asked us to surround a small courtyard wall outside. You can go and have a look when you are free."
When I left the village last time, I was stopped by Ye Youfu's son-in-law, who said he would help with repairs.
The couple gave money, the house was the house, and the courtyard wall was added.
The river was in full swing, and they didn't pass by it on their way home today, so they didn't have time to see it.
After baking his hair in the evening, he walked by the river and stopped by to have a look. Yuncheng was satisfied.
Ye Cunshan told him by the way, "I said before that in summer, we should build a house on the ground below. Otherwise, when you come back in summer, there will be many snakes and insects on the mountain. You can't stand it. Now look, or we can live in this house." ? Anyway, it won’t last long every time I come back.”
The outer courtyard wall has been expanded a bit, and if necessary in the future, a side room can be built on the side.
If you dislike the small space, you can also move the stove room to the side room, and the main room will be used as the main room for sleeping people.
Yun Cheng is fine, "Then I will find time to ask Wang Zu to see when I am free, and arrange someone to build the ear room for us."
"Don't be together, study hard."
It was late at home, and the two of them didn't make a fuss.
The next morning, Ye Cunshan took Yuncheng down the mountain to have a meal, and everyone went to Ye.
Cunyin was willing to spend money and bought a large bag of brown sugar for Ye Da.
Ye Cunshan bullied Cunyin when he left, but when he got home he still said, "Cunyin bought it for you."
Ye Da was already intimidated by Ye Cunshan, and he relaxed when he heard that it was a gift bought by depositing silver.
Cunyin is different from this naughty son, and he will definitely not buy him shabby stuff.
Before opening it, Ye Da didn't say anything.
Seeing that it was a bag of brown sugar, he grinned.
Without saying a word, Chen Jinhua took it away from him, "This candy is good, just get me a brown sugar egg."
She is very good at coaxing people, "One for each father and mother, our eldest son has to eat one, Brother Cheng also wants one, there are exactly five eggs at home, I will cook them!"
Ye Da:? ?
"What about me? My son bought it for me!"
Chen Jinhua rolled her eyes, "You are angry like a steamed stuffed bun. You are full of anger every day. What brown sugar eggs do you eat? There are only five eggs in the house. If you want to eat them, go and check if the hen has laid eggs, and point to my big belly woman bending over to pick up eggs." ah!"
Ye Da's family status is undoubtedly revealed.
Yun Cheng took a sip of thick rice porridge with a small bowl in his hand, and couldn't remember Chen Jinhua's misery before, and he was afraid that Ye Da would not want her all day long.
He glanced at Ye Cunshan, Ye Cunshan was not interested in going home, so he just talked to his grandma, and his relationship with his parents remained the same.
Yun Cheng thought about his relationship with Yun Renyi's family, turned his eyes to Chen Jinhua who had already entered the stove, and sighed in his heart.
It's okay to come back later.
Chen Jinhua kept her promise, except for Ye Da, everyone had one brown sugar egg.
Ye Da almost dropped the bowl.
Liu Cuiying picks up eggs every day, and she knows how many eggs there are in the family.
The spring plowing had not started yet, neither she nor the old man ate eggs every day, mainly for Chen Jinhua, who was pregnant with twins, exhausting her body.
Although it sounds like a joke, there are indeed only five eggs.
There are only five eggs, and Ye Da is not convinced.
From his point of view, the bottom of the food chain can only be Yun Cheng.
Who made him a daughter-in-law.
Still a buddy.
But he knew that the daughter-in-law here was very powerful and could earn money, so he dared to look at others and kept silent.
Yuncheng was speechless for a while, he couldn't eat such a sweet thing early in the morning, so he didn't eat it himself, so he gave the egg to Ye Cunshan and scooped it into a bowl.
Ye Cunshan knew his taste, so he was not polite to him, and immediately took a bite of the soft-boiled egg.
Ye Da also looked at Yun Cheng's bowl.
Yun Cheng:? ? ?
How shameless!
Ye Cunshan also regretted bringing Yuncheng here to have a meal. In the early morning, his good mood was gone.
The two of them were leaving, and Ye Da wanted to leave someone to talk about repairing the house.
"Didn't you say that I'll fix it for you? Why did you let Ye Cheng go?"
After the workshops in the village were built, spring plowing began seamlessly. Ye Da had to be busy until the next farm slack after the autumn harvest, when he had time to harass him and Yun Cheng.
And in June and July, Chen Jinhua will give birth. Counting the months, Ye Dade will wash diapers at home during the slack season this year.
Ye Cunshan suddenly felt that the sugar water was not sweet anymore.
Most of Chuyin's diapers hadn't been washed, and he bought him candy, what a fart.
It's really better to give it to Chen Jinhua and tell her to take care of her body, so that she can take care of her own baby in the future.
Ye Da didn't have time to spare, so Ye Cunshan didn't talk to Xu Xu, "Do you look like you are working? Such a small house, from the Chinese New Year to now, if Ye Cheng didn't help repair it, a few snowfalls in winter, That house has already collapsed!"
Ye Da choked, "Why did you fall early!? The weather was bad before, and you asked your father to work for people in heavy snow? I went when the weather was fine, and Ye Cheng was there, and he said you gave money , I don’t even see a point in working for you!”
Ye Cunshan: "Didn't I give you silver? Didn't I give you 20 taels?"
Ye Da: "..."
A few years ago, I was in a daze for a while, and I was in a hurry to repair the relationship with my son and daughter-in-law.
He also felt that his son suffered a lot from being a son-in-law, and no one would beat him up in the future, so he took the coffin and gave it to Ye Cunshan, asking him not to become a son-in-law.
Later, when I thought about it, he didn’t regret it much. Firstly, Ye Cunshan didn’t want the money, and secondly, although his son was angry with him and his daughter-in-law didn’t like to talk to him, no one in the village said that their family relationship was not good.
When he really died in the future, Ye Cunshan had to pretend to be a filial son.
Now mentioning these 20 taels again, Ye Da finally realized Ye Cunshan's thick skin.
"That's the silver I gave you!"
Ye Cunshan had already led Yuncheng to stand up, speaking a bit like Yuncheng when he was unreasonable, "So what? If you give it to me, it's mine. If I give it to you again, then I'll give you 20 taels."
Ye Da was scolded by him, smelling the smell of brown sugar and eggs all over the room, he was not in the mood to eat.
Ye Cunshan felt refreshed and took Yuncheng to eat something else.
Passing by the door of Ye Hu's house, I went in and bought two crucian carp, pulled two white radishes from his vegetable garden, and went home to cook fish soup.
After all this tossing, I will explain everything here in the morning.
The vegetable garden at home has not been managed for a long time. After the previous vegetables were eaten, they were not planted and were empty.
Yuncheng said: "The meat dishes made by the sister-in-law in the lobby are delicious, let's go to her house to have a meal."
The lobby's sister-in-law, Liu Sanyue, is Ye Hu's wife, a woman who can hold the spoon when worshiping ancestors, needless to say her cooking skills.
Ye Hu didn't lose weight after marriage, and his son was also a big fat boy, well raised.
So I bought fish and pulled radishes in the morning, and the two of them came to eat again at noon.
Ye Hu was worrying about how to send his son to the academy. The couple didn't beat him honestly in mixed doubles. Seeing that Ye Cunshan was very welcome, "Give me an idea."
It is clear to the outside world that it is to make money by writing scripts.
There are also other thoughts in it. Only when you can read and write can you be a small manager in the shop or workshop.
Qingyang is a brother, he will be a husband after marriage, and he can work as an accountant in a paper shop.
It's not the same treatment as his brothers, who are big-bodied and three-thick, who can't read a few big characters. They have to deliver goods in cold and hot weather, and they do hard work.
Ye Cunshan used to be solid, and it went well when he settled down. Ye Hu wanted to learn from it.
Yun Cheng listened with his ears up, and he knew that Ye Cunshan was running around and had seen the outside world, so he wanted to study, but he didn't know the details inside.
In the end, the reason was very simple, "When I first went to the pier, I saw a lot of laborers carrying goods, including old and young, and young and middle-aged."
The sons of families with better conditions in their village are all strong and strong.
Who doesn't boast of strength in the village?
Ye Cunshan was also praised in the past.
He can farm, hunt and fish, catch snakes and dig out bird nests, and he can bring up his younger brother single-handedly.
Being exaggerated too much, I naturally have arrogance in my heart.
Looking back, I saw many people like him.
Those people are stronger than him, and I learned from the conversation that they are also old farmers who are better at farming than him.
So what?After a day of coolie work, you still have to bow your knees and be careful to curry favor with the foreman. Otherwise, if you deduct a little bit, the whole day's effort will be in vain, and you dare not make a scene or make a statement.
If the foreman was a talented scholar, Ye Cunshan would not say anything.
Studying costs money, and cultivate scholars, who can easily sit there and record work and get money.
But the literacy level of most foremen was so low that he couldn't bear to look directly at them.
That year, Ye Cunshan also studied with his brothers for a few days.
Both Ye Wangzu and Ye Qingyang read it out, and he couldn't read a few words so he looked down on the foreman.
When Yuncheng heard this, he suddenly thought that he had just crossed over, and Ye Cunshan wanted to take him to the county to find a job. At that time, he also said that it would be best for him to stay in Du's house as a book boy.
At that time, I will learn to read and write, and I will leave the Du family when I turn back, and I will have other ways of life.
The dock workers can get two taels of silver every month.
His eyes were sour and hot, and he wanted to cry for no reason, feeling that he had never understood Ye Cunshan.
Thinking of the show off in his character, he also went from being tolerant to understanding.
After all, what Ye Cunshan was proud of in the past is not worth mentioning in this world.
And what others admire is exactly what he lacks the most.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high.He only deeply understood the meaning of this sentence when Ye Yan had already passed the Tongsheng exam.
Ye Cunshan told Ye Hu: "Don't hit him, go back to the paper shop to deliver the goods next time, take Xiaohu with you, and take him to the pier to see what all the strong people are doing, and what the weak scholar is doing .”
The room is only this big, and Xiaohu is still young, so he can't understand. He only knows that he can go to the county to play, and he is crazy about it.
Liu Sanyue listened to these words.
In the past, she didn't think highly of scholars. Even if a "Wenqu star" like Liu Wenbai came out of Dagu Village, he could get 100 taels of silver for a book.
Now she can afford it.
Because of the paper workshop, but also because of the paper shop.
When these two things are built in the village, the first to be promising are the literate group of people.
In the future, when the ethnology is established in the village, Ye Yan will go in quietly and become a teacher.
And her man has to do hard work for others.
The author has something to say:
I found that the update is regular, the ones with more words have a plot, and the few words are emotional dramas. Looking at the progress bar in the next chapter, it should be pure sugar!
I went to write. It should be around twelve o'clock, which is relatively late, so you don't have to wait!
Good night, readers!
see you tomorrow!
