They are here, and it is not easy for Yuncheng to stay at home.

While packing things, he could vaguely hear Ye Cunshan asking them something in the backyard.

Wu Dali and Yun Renyi's family are neighbors. Yun Cheng, who had heard them quarreling all night last night, met Chen Jinhua, who was run out, when he fetched water this morning. When he learned that the Ye family had given Yun Cheng 25 taels of silver, his mind became alive.

He just happened to see Ye Cunshan going to the county seat with a basket on his back, and felt that Yuncheng finally had a backer, and he definitely didn't want to be provoked. He didn't want to be intimidated by his temper, so he invited two other lazy hooligans who often harass Yuncheng to come over and ask for a drink.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by Ye Cunshan.

Yuncheng packed up the small burden, and when he came out, Ye Cunshan had already assigned them work.

Wu vigorously chops firewood, Zhang Xiaohei chops down trees, and Liu Yaozu peels off the bark.

Yun Cheng raised his eyebrows. This man is also preparing for paper making without making a sound?

Ye Cunshan is not polite to those who bullied Yuncheng in the past and are still unrepentant.

"After peeling off the bark, you need to remove the green bark to dry the bamboo poles, and chop firewood to fill the backyard. If you haven't finished any of these two things, you can continue tomorrow."

Liu Yaozu was the youngest among the three, also 23, he was not convinced, "Why?"

Ye Cunshan sneered: "Do you need a reason?"

Then why would they pick Yun Cheng to bully him.

Do you have to ask why?

On the way down the mountain, Ye Cunshan's face was still dark.

Yun Cheng thought that he was angry, and tried to pull his sleeve and wrist a few times, but because he couldn't keep up with the pace, he could only touch a corner of the clothes.

In this way, he also hurriedly explained.

"I just said that to appease them, I didn't really want to give money..."

Ye Cunshan stopped suddenly, Yuncheng rushed forward out of inertia, and bumped into Ye Cunshan straight.

Yun Cheng rubbed his nose, his eyes were red with pain.

Ye Cunshan stared at him heavily, and looked at him tearfully.

If Yuncheng did something wrong in the past, he would act like a spoiled child to his family, and he did the same to Ye Cunshan at this time. He rubbed his hand against Ye Cunshan's palm, saying that it hurts.

Ye Cunshan lost his temper when he was interrupted like this.

He grabbed Yuncheng's hand and squeezed it, "I'm not angry, and I don't blame you, it's because I didn't think carefully before."

Yuncheng felt that he was a troublemaker and troubled, so he was held by the hand honestly and stopped acting like a baby.

Just waiting for Ye Cunshan to go to the place, even if he is reluctant, he will agree to stay for a day.

Ye Cunshan, on the other hand, considered returning to the academy to return to school.

There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Today the hooligans can come to harass the door, nothing more than deceiving no one in his family.

Now he can use the surname Ye to show off his power, but what about in the future?

Liu Yaozu's Liu surname is not small in the neighboring village, why is it mixed up like this?

If you don't stand up by yourself, your fellow clan will bully you over time.

There was no way Yuncheng could stay with him all the time.

As for his family...

Ye Cunshan shook his head, it doesn't matter if he doesn't mention it.

So it is still necessary to make a name for yourself, so that people can look up to you and dare not provoke them.

Ye Cunshan left Yuncheng at Ye Yan's house, led the people in, and after a few polite words with his cousin Liu Yun, he took ten Wen, "He's still here for lunch at noon, please take care of him."

Liu Yun refused to accept the money, "What's a meal? There's nothing good at home. Just cook porridge with brown rice and bake a pancake. How can it be worth ten cents?"

Liu Yun is Ye Yan's wife, and has a three-year-old daughter under her knees. She is only in her early twenties, and her face is already thin and yellow, and her face is haggard.

Her mother-in-law couldn't leave in front of the loom, and her father-in-law followed Ye Liang's car to the county to sell some small bamboo items - this route was introduced by Ye Cunshan, and they could be delivered to the dock for merchants.

Liu Yun refused to take the money anyway, "I really took it, and later my mother-in-law will scold me for being blind to money!"

Ye Cunshan just gave up.

He was also rushing to the county seat today, but he had been delayed for a while, and he was about to leave after giving Yuncheng an order. Yuncheng hurriedly said to him: "Do you think it is convenient for Fang to buy me some duck feathers and wool? I am useful."

Ye Cunshan nodded, "OK."

As soon as Ye Cunshan left, Yuncheng became cautious.

Liu Yun saw that there were cotton wool and cloth in his bag, and guessed that he was going to make a cotton coat, so he moved a chair with a backrest for him to sit in the main room, and added a pot of rough tea and a plate of melon seeds on the table.

Ye Yan is the scholar of the village entrance family, a bad example in Ye Da's mouth.

The family provided for a scholar. After the scholar failed the exam, he kept studying and seldom went out.

Originally, his family's family conditions in the village were also relatively high, and they built a house with green bricks and tiles before Master Ye.

It's all worn down now.

The brothers separated and went out early, and they only served bowls of meat dishes to their parents when they went around during the New Year.

Who made the parents to work hard for Ye Yan now, earning less money than other brothers?

Now that the farming is slack, his family is one of the few busy families in the village.

Busy reeling silk and weaving cloth, busy chopping bamboo and weaving.

Yuncheng understood their hard work, so he didn't bother Liu Yun to take care of them.

Liu Yun was not too polite, so Yuncheng sewed the cotton-padded clothes himself.

Cooking at noon, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are busy together, Yuncheng is embarrassed, Liu Yun smiles at him kindly: "Then help me look after Miss Dianchan."

Sister Chan is her family's three-year-old daughter, who looks thin and small.

Yun Cheng looked distressed, but he didn't have anything on him, so he made a flower rope with embroidery thread, picked flowers for Sister Chan, and coaxed the child well.

He didn't see Ye Yan until the food was served.

Ye Yan is tall, looks about the same as Ye Cunshan, 1.8 meters five.

But the difference in size is too great, the scholar in front of him looks like a long and slender hemp rod, such a tall man can't support the book's long robe, and the wind can blow him away.

His eyes were black and blue, and his haggard appearance was exactly the same as that of his family members.

Yun Cheng was frightened, "How long does my cousin study every day?"

Ye Yan closed his room in the morning and didn't come out. Seeing Yun Cheng was also dazed. He didn't know that he had a beautiful cousin.

Liu Yun took the stack of papers that he wrote densely without leaving any gaps, and introduced, "Cun Shan's brother, they registered the family tree yesterday and got married."

Ye Yan's dazed eyes finally focused, "Is it Yuncheng?"

However, Yun Cheng's eyes were fixed on the stack of papers. Seeing Liu Yun carrying them to the kitchen, he had a bad premonition, "Sister-in-law, is the paper going to be used as a fire?"

Liu Yun also thought that he knew that paper was precious, and felt it was a waste of money. He smiled and explained: "This is Brother Yan's waste manuscript paper. I can't write a word on it. It's useless to keep it. It's a pity to throw it away..."

There was dry bitterness in the smile.

Yun Cheng took a spoon to stir the brown rice porridge thicker than the two women's bowls, and said, "Let's put this paper away. I'll try it this afternoon and see if I can make new paper."

Can waste paper be turned into new paper?

Except for the ignorant sister Chan, the other three looked at him with burning eyes.

Yuncheng's face was on fire, "Try it, it may not succeed..."

Ye Yan looked back.

Thinking about it, he didn't even know how to turn waste into treasure after studying and enlightening his wisdom. How could Yun Cheng, a poor boy who lives in a family all day long, know?

His mother, Mrs. Zhao, had great hopes for this, looked at him eagerly, and pushed the two plates of stir-fried vegetables on the table in front of him.

"Then let Yunniang help you in the afternoon, if you have something to do, let her do it."

Liu Yun also nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, you can call me if you need anything."

As she spoke, she gave Ye Yan an embarrassed look.

She also kept all the waste paper that was burned before.

A knife of paper is cheaper and costs three to five hundred cash. There is no fixed number, and the price will fluctuate.

Even though the paper was densely written and there was no room for writing, throwing Liu Yun into the stove was like burning money, and his heart ached.

Now she doesn't dare to say that she is still hiding it, for fear that the man will be unhappy, and she is also looking forward to it in the afternoon.

This is done, and her family can relax a bit during the Chinese New Year this year.

After dinner, Ye Yan exercised his muscles as usual, and took his daughter to play in the yard.

He said he didn't care, but he looked at Yuncheng and Liu Yun from time to time. He spent more time than usual, and he didn't go into the room to read a book when it was time.

Mrs. Zhao urged Liu Yun to get the paper, and cleaned the stove by herself. In the afternoon, she took the sugar cubes from the cabinet and made sugar water instead of rough tea.

Yuncheng's cotton-padded clothes hadn't finished sewing yet, so he put them aside and wanted to try papermaking as well.

He watched a lot of video materials, and he hadn't really experimented with it, so he was nervous to operate it.

Liu Yun also comforted him in turn, "It's okay, it's just waste paper, let's try."

The waste paper has been processed, and after being cut into pieces, soaked in water and pounded into pulp, it can enter the process of papermaking and drying.

Yuncheng asked Liu Yun if he had any smaller bamboo curtains and mats, "I will use it for making paper at that time."

Her father-in-law can make things when he is free, and they all have them in the family.

After the summer, they were all put away. After Liu Yun found them, he was not sure which one he wanted, so he also took out a mat made of reeds.

Yuncheng seemed to be in good shape, and his color was not old, so he had a difficult time.

If it was cut and made smaller, he would think it would be a waste of things.

Liu Yun saw his hesitation and helped make a decision, "This thing is nothing, it's all made up by myself, and it takes a lot of manpower. Bamboo and reeds grow in the ground, so they're worthless."

Only then did Yun Cheng relax and chose the reed mat.

There are ready-made bamboo strips at home. I took the wood and fixed them, and cut the reed mats to about the same size for later use.

Yuncheng instructed her to finish this before cutting paper with Liu Yun.

After this cut, he realized something was wrong.

There is something on Ye Yan's manuscript paper.

What about going to Beijing to rush for an exam and meeting a fox demon, meeting a goddess in a poor family, praying for a vision in the Confucian temple, and marrying the prime minister's daughter in Sanyuan Jidi? He has all the elements.

The characters were too small, and Yuncheng struggled to read them.

Liu Yun just thought it was something new for him, and talked to him: "If you want to know how to read, you can ask Cunshan to teach you. He looks fierce, but he is actually quite easy to talk to."

At this time, Yuncheng also found out the story of the poor scholar and the oiran from the horns.

Yun Cheng smiled stiffly, "He even taught me how to read last night."

Seeing that there was not much waste paper on the table, he put down the scissors and said to Liu Yun, "Sister-in-law, cut it first, and I will talk to my cousin."

Ye Yan was in the yard, leading Sister Chan to identify the vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Yun Cheng was in a complicated mood, looking at him hesitant to speak.

How could Ye Yan fail to see that he had something to say, thinking that the matter of turning waste paper into new paper has not been settled, so he waved his hand generously: "It's okay, this paper is useless after it is finished, we also know it."

It's just that after he finished speaking, there was a burst of disappointment in his heart, and when it was brought to his face, the smile on his lips faded a little.

A three-year-old child has already learned how to speak like an adult. Looking at the appearance of his family members, Yuncheng probably didn't know that Ye Yan was writing a storybook, and thought he was studying hard and preparing for the imperial examination.

Yun Cheng was very depressed, thinking what if Ye Yan was like him and wanted to write scripts to make money?

He hinted at Ye Yan: "The Confucian temple prays for a vision from heaven..."

Sure enough, Ye Yan's face changed, and he stopped hugging his daughter, and asked Sister Chan to find her mother.

With a little luck, Ye Yan didn't admit it directly, but tested Yun Cheng: "Do you want to go to the Confucian Temple to pray for Cunshan?"

The author has something to say:
