354 , Jiushan County Chronicle
Youqing has been spending two days in the house to memorize books. When I feel so warm that I feel so warm, I go to other yards to visit my friends to learn about the learning progress of other students.
Most students are like Youqing, wishing they could keep all the textbooks in their minds day and night. But there are always some confident people, such as the seniors who opened the school, who still took the children from the village to class, looking calm.
In addition, it is a weird thing like Xue Cong and Tang Yingyuan. They go out early and come back late every day, with dark fatigue. They are with the two slight red hints of wanting to fight and bravely on their cheeks.
If Xue Cong is just to make money, then what is Tang Yingyuan for?
Tang Yingyuan is always not short of money. According to her daily behavior, she is not a fan of money. Isn’t Tang Yingyuan afraid of losing the exam? How could her heart be so big?
However, Tang Yingyuan was walking in the fields in a coarse cloth clothes, and she was really the same as a farmer's firewood girl.
When Youqing thought of this, she smiled silently.
No matter what, you still have to read the book. Youqing naturally won’t be foolish in learning it. The content of this exam should not be just the dead knowledge in the book. Otherwise, the mountain manager would not have had such a big effort to let everyone take the exam in Dawangzhuang for several sleepless nights. Youqing initially believed that some of the test questions this time should be combined with the reality of Dawangzhuang. For example, the matter of teaching people to fish, maybe it would be a question "How to successfully open a shop in a remote village?"
This type of question should be placed as an article question at the end of the test paper, and the score should be very high, but as long as the reality is combined with the textbook, this question will not be difficult to answer.
Besides, Youqing's idea of brewing has already taken shape in his mind, and it should not be difficult to implement it in specific operation: as long as you hire an excellent brewing chef and open a brewing workshop, the most important thing is to use the sweet well water from Dawangzhuang! These wines can be filled with expensive porcelain bottles and glass bottles, and the market price can also be sold very expensively.
Perfect! Youqing secretly praised these ideas, and if you think through them, you will feel much more at ease.
"Miss Pan, will you still drink Luoshen Huaer Tea in the afternoon?" The aunt of Youqing's yard knocked on the window.
Youqing closed the book in her hand: "Auntie, don't work too hard, just drink jasmine tea today."
When she first arrived, this aunt was still a little indifferent to Youqing, but since Youqing "rewarded" some silver and rough jewelry, her attitude changed drastically. In addition to taking the initiative to take care of cooking and cleaning, she also made a bed and quilt for Youqing every day, washing and making tea and making money, so the ghosts pushed the mill. In Youqing's opinion, those ideas of trying their best to make money for Dawangzhuang are all nonsense. The most useful way is to spend money in this village! When the villagers have money in their hands, they will naturally come up with the way to make money with money. For most people, making money is born.
Just like the peasant woman in front of her, since she took her own money, she immediately built a large chicken coop on the open space in the backyard and raised a large group of chickens. She could collect a basket of eggs every day. When she was in the market, she simply went out to sell eggs.
This is to get rich, as long as you have money, you can get rich.
Of course, Youqing didn't dare to write this on the test paper. Besides, this was not what Mr. Shanchang meant. Tong Shanchang was like Tang Yingyuan. He always hoped that he could wear a halo to bring hope to everyone, and deliberately made simple things complicated. In this way, those stupid and mediocre people would follow their route.
Tang Yingyuan does have a brain, but he didn't think clearly about the origin of the matter, and he would only be smart but instead be mistaken for cleverness in the end.
A fragrant pot of jasmine tea was served on the desk. My aunt from Dong brought two tea cups and sat down next to the desk. Although my aunt from Dong took Youqing's money, she was simple and simple. She only felt that it was natural for her to contribute money and work hard. She was not as dwarfs as she had always been modest and cautious, and she was cautious about everyone, so this aunt felt even more helpful.
Youqing took the initiative to hold a pot and pour tea for the two of them: "I'm thanking you for your hard work today, and the crispy meat patties at noon are delicious."
"I learned this from my old Jin family's wife. Her cooking skills are the best in our village." The Dong family's aunt picked up the teacup and blew. "Those girls in your yard have always loved to eat at the Jin family these two days, especially the girl Tang, who has listed all the skills of Jin's wife in the list and recorded them."
Humph, so what? At most, open a small restaurant.
Youqing only laughed at others for not seeing through. If he threw a lot of money to the golden wife, he would naturally open a small restaurant and a craftsman who went to pawn shops to act as things. If he had money, he would naturally carry forward his craftsmanship. How could Tang Yingyuan have to think about it for them?
When Youqing thought of something, she stood up and took out a pair of white earrings with vegetables and jade from her jewelry box: "Don't dislike me, aunt, I'm a little angry with these earrings, why don't you try it?"
"Oh, I don't dare to be this!" Although the Dong family refused, his eyes were fixed on the earrings. "This green is so beautiful, is this jade?"
Wow, this peasant woman even knows jade. Youqing smiled: "Good jade is priceless and our family can't afford it. It's just a good-quality jade." In fact, it is a vegetable jade that is not as good as agate. Youqing went back to Kyoto two days ago and bought a lot of such cheap jewelry from cheap jewelry shops to facilitate favors in the village.
After some push, the Dong family finally accepted the pair of earrings as usual. When worn on both ears, it felt cool and crispy. Although the Dong family was simple, he was not stupid. Naturally, he also knew the purpose of Youqing giving the pair of earrings.
"I just walked in the village. Our chickens laid some blue eggs. I thought it was rare, so I gave two of them to my family. By the way, I saw what the students were doing." The aunt of the Dong family took a sip of tea and cleared her throat.
Youqing smiled and listened attentively.
"Most of the students are bored in the house to memorize their books. Even the female gentlemen who opened the school stopped classes today. It is said that they all went back to the yard to write and read."
Those senior sisters are not gods, and they will take the exam one day, so they have to review their books in the face of battle.
"That bricklayer is still crazy outside these days."
The bricklayer mentioned by my aunt of the Dong family is Xue Cong. For Xue Cong, making money is the first priority, and even better than good things.
"And the students who assist in your yard still run to Fengqiu every day and don't come back until the evening."
The person Youqing didn't know the least about is helping with students, and he didn't know what this person was thinking about whether there was something she really cared about in this world.
"Also, that classmate Tang has also started reading!"
Wow, Tang Yingyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore, she also cared about the exam.
Youqing shook her head and smiled.
...
Tang Xiaoxiao is really reading, and a set of seven "Jiushan County Chronicles" are placed on the table. He is conquering one by one, taking notes while reading.
Aunt Gui brought a bowl of water in a thick porcelain bowl: "Drink some hot water, it's so dry in autumn, don't get angry."
"Oh." Xiaoxiao's eyes were still on the book, and she picked up the water with one hand and drank it.
Aunt Gui looked at the square-fold brocade on the bed, which was more than a dozen, colorful and dazzling, and couldn't help but say, "You said your family sells cloth, and it turns out that the ones sold are all so expensive silk!"
"These brocades are not all knitted by my family." Xiaoxiao raised her eyes from the book, and she seemed to think of something, so she put the book together and went to the side of the kang: "Aunt, which piece do you like the most?"
"I think every piece looks good!" Aunt Gui walked up and reached out to touch these cool-smooth babies. "This peony is beautiful, and this mandarin duck is beautiful, too!"
Xiaoxiao looked at the autumn-patterned brocade in the middle, and felt that the piece was the most conservative and gorgeous, and unconventional.
Aunt Gui sighed when she heard the smile, and was puzzled for a moment, so she carefully looked at the brocades: "Oh, this one is the best! Look at these flowers, they will even change color!" Aunt Gui opened her mouth wide and looked at a piece of olive-green brocade, so she simply held it in her hand and repeatedly admired the sunlight by the window: "It's really, it looks purple with the light on its back, and it turns green with the light! Such immortal brocades are for the emperor!"
"This is a brocade made of woven beads. These threads extract the essence of clam shells and fritillaria and are made with their luster." Xiaoxiao still knows his own brocade. It is these brocades that laid the foundation for the silk business of the Tang family. The palace chose the brocade of the Tang family for the first time because of this amazing color change effect.
Yingzhu brocade has been popular for a long time. Because it is difficult to extract, it is extremely expensive and is currently only provided for the palace and the royal palace. The Tang family naturally wanted to expand production, but because of the scarcity of materials, they could only sigh that the emperors today are extremely open-minded and never monopolize any goods. As long as it is not a dragon pattern, the people can use any other materials and patterns.
Yingzhu brocade won the reputation of the Tang family in the upper class, and the one who really made money for the Tang family was other ordinary brocade silk.
Xiaoxiao looked at the royal blue autumn pattern brocade again. This brocade is different. The material is the same as ordinary brocade. The beauty is that it wins with elegant and unique patterns. As long as it can keep up with manual processing, it can be produced in large quantities.
The grand event mentioned in Shanniang's letter was not known as the grand event, but it is certain that the participants must be all nobles, and their vision naturally tends to be clear. A peasant woman like Aunt Gui who likes to be famous is impossible to be invited to the commentary seat of the grand event.
Although the Yingzhu brocade of our own has been popular for a long time, it will eventually cause people's aesthetic fatigue, which is not as good as the Qingshui brocade of the Palace Qiuwen brocade.
The reply to my mother has been written and sent out. The answer is very general and has not been analyzed in detail. It is just because some questions are still vague in Xiaoxiao's heart...
Aunt Gui was still staring at the piece of Yingzhu brocade in her hand, and smiled and said, "It's a pity that this brocade is very small, and at most it can be made into a piece of armor. If my aunt likes it, I'll give it to her."
"Really?" Aunt Gui was overjoyed, "Then I can't bear to use it as clothes."
"If I put it under the box, wouldn't it be ruined?"
Aunt Gui was also in trouble for a moment. He looked at the embossed paintings hanging in the room. The wooden frames used in these paintings were made by Carpenter Su. At first, Aunt Gui was a little uncomfortable and thought that all the paintings should be scrolls. These wooden frames seemed out of place. Now that I have seen them too much, I feel that the square ones are pretty good-looking.
Aunt Gui thought carefully: "Can this color-changing fairy brocade be inlaid into a picture frame? I hang it in the house and watch it every day! Neighbors come to visit and you can see it when you look up, and I can show off too~"
Putting brocade into a frame? It’s like making a painting?
"What a good idea among the people!" Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim that since he couldn't share his parents' worries in brocade technology, then think of a way to display the brocade.
Aunt Gui was happy and saw the books on Xiaoxiao's table: "Although you are smart, you still have to work hard! The students in other yards are studying hard, but you are reading these useless idle books!"
"Books are useful, there are no idle books." Xiaoxiao corrected.
"I feel sorry for you when I think about it. The old peddler in the town asked for ten taels of silver, and you gave it to him without blinking," Aunt Gui said, feeling it was not worth it. "Just like these few old books, it was almost moldy, and it cost ten taels of silver..."
"These books are treasures, I want to buy them even if they are 100 taels," Xiaoxiao told Aunt Gui'er the truth, "Aunt, do you know where this Jiushan County is?"
"I don't know."
"Our Dawangzhuang belongs to Jiushan County."
"We clearly belong to the suburbs of Beijing! We are considered from Kyoto!"
"A long time ago, this place belonged to Jiushan County."
