Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

The silvery moonlight accompanies the light from the master's study in the courtyard of No. 9 Yongxing Lane.

The moonlight faded, the morning light appeared, and the light in the study in the front yard went out.

The servants on night duty all knew that their master was preparing for the imperial examination and went to bed very late every day. He was always so hard-working, only sleeping for an hour or two before dawn before having to go to the school again.

The servants working in the yard tried their best not to make any noise, for fear of waking up their master who had just fallen asleep.

Inside the second gate of Haitang Gate. In the east room.

Wang Wendong got up on time at the hour of Mao. The nanny outside the door asked softly:

"Master, are you awake?"

"Mammy, prepare some water. I need to wash up."

Since moving to No. 9 Yongxing Lane, Wang Wendong has been getting up at the first hour of the morning every day and has been extremely self-disciplined.

Wang Wendong knew that in another hour, his sister would have to get up to recite her lessons.

Mother checks her sister's homework every day, and Wang Jinyi's recitation time is about to begin.

Now, my sister is studying Mencius. She seems to have learned 11 out of 7 chapters. She is far ahead of me who is studying in a private school or regular school...

It seems that my sister has been learning Go every morning recently, and my mother has asked her to memorize the Go manual.

Once, when we went into the dining room to eat, my mother and sister were still arguing about the trend of the chess game. My sister played the black pieces and my mother played the white pieces. The mother and daughter were arguing about who should make the first move and who should make the move first.

Neither of them gave in. Wang Jinyi believed:

"Mother, it was obvious that the chess player wanted to make the first move."

But the mother said:

"There is both offense and defense."

The two were not convinced by each other. At the dinner table, the younger sister was very angry. Her chubby little face looked even rounder and she kept mumbling from time to time.

After his father coughed lightly, Wang Jinyi ate in silence.

However, as the first person to eat every day, I was not very fond of food that morning.

While washing up, Wang Wendong thought to himself that he couldn't let his sister fall too far behind.

If you are not smart, then be a stupid bird. Just get up early and fly first.

Wang Wendong held up a small peach wood sword and walked gently to the backyard, to a small sword-practicing area prepared by his mother for him.

After the morning exercise, Wang Wendong was covered in sweat and wanted to go back to his room to wash and change his clothes.

The door to the west room opened. When Wang Jinyi came out and saw her brother, she ran over like a happy little bird and chattered around Wang Wendong.

Until his mother opened the door and called Wang Jinyi away, Wang Wendong smiled and walked briskly back to his room.

The mother and daughter began to review the game, turning the chess records they had memorized yesterday into a real game.

As the catkins fluttered like snow, the weather became hotter and hotter.

Wang Jinyi's fortune is as hot as the weather.

Zhao Chunming was increasingly impressed by the young lady's vision. Thanks to Chen Jilai and Chen Qingyang who were sent early.

If they hadn't joined me, I really wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Chen Jilai is a man of few words, but he is very perceptive and manages the accounts in an orderly manner.

Now, Zhao Chunming only manages the money flow in and out, which should be much easier than before. But he is not idle at all.

First, the three of them rented a place to stay nearby, and then took turns living behind the store, watching over the store and the food.

Since the weather turned hot, the three people were afraid that the food would be damaged by the heat and spoil, so they dared not store more food.

He could only estimate the flow of goods for two days and often went to Dongtai Rice Shop to wholesale grain. As a result, Dongtai Rice Shop actually came to his door and began to deliver grain to Taisheng Rice Shop every day.

The grain was sold and settled on a daily basis, ensuring that there was no stale rice in the grain store. The three people were overjoyed.

Every day when the store opened, the horse-drawn carriages from Dongtai delivering grain would come right up to the door. As if guiding them, those who got up early to buy grain also followed Dongtai's carts and lined up in front of the Taisheng Rice Shop, forming a long queue.

In this way, the three of them were busy from the time the store opened until dark. Although they were tired, they were busy happily.

Last month, the young lady gave us a reward of "Red Star Over China". The three of us took turns reading it and we are almost able to memorize it.

The three of them were looking forward to the fact that the lady would give them another copy of the sequel this month. Even Chen Qingyang asked Zhu Yu to let him borrow a copy of Journey to the West whenever he went to pay his bills.

It was almost the end of the month. Zhao Chunming was going to meet his master to report the money. The three of them decided to exchange the reward for "Journey to the West".

Zhao Chunming came to No. 9 Yongxing Lane to meet Zhu Yu and Qing Yu to report this month's bill.

Ever since her mother found out that Wang Jinyi was running the Tai Sheng Rice Shop, she specially cleared out a warehouse in the front yard, set it up like a small accounting office, and gave it to her daughter to use.

Every time Tai Sheng reports its accounts, it will be done here.

Zhu Yu took out a small key in a formal manner, opened the door, and put up the window. The three of them checked the accounts, handed them over, and settled the bills. Then they kept Zhao Chunming and arranged for refreshments.

Leaving a servant guarding the door, the two men went straight to the back house.

Wang Jinyi estimates that business this month may be as good as last month.

Although I don't want the business to be too popular, it is God's will and I can only run it well.

Wang Jinyi also thought about the reasons for the good business: the store is small and weak, the waiters are attentive, and the rice is fresh.

At least the Dongtai Rice Company gets up early every day to deliver grain trucks, which has become a living advertisement to prove the freshness of the grain.

Hey! What to do? An unintentional planting of willows will eventually turn into a forest.

I didn't intend to expand this business, but now I have no choice but to buy a shop and run it well.

The situation is good, but it is not what I expected. Oh! Making money is really annoying. This doesn't sound right. Will I be scolded?

Just as he was thinking, Zhu Yuqingyu pushed the door open and walked in. Wang Jinyi put the brush aside and looked at his achievements. He had indeed mastered the stroke order and had started to practice calligraphy. However, he felt distressed when he saw his own handwriting every day. It was not because he felt sorry for the hard work of practicing calligraphy, but because he felt sorry for the good ink and white paper.

I have been practicing for a month, but I have not made any progress. What should I do?

"Miss, have you seen it?"

"what?"

Qingyu pointed at the account book.

"This is the profit we just made this month." "Have you deducted all the taxes?"

“Yes, it’s a net profit.”

Wang Jinyi thought that once he started the business, he would have to have a foothold outside the palace, so he could only set it up somewhere closer to him, right inside Xunyang Palace.

"Zhu Yu, go tell mother that I want to see her."

After a while, the mother followed Zhu Yu into Wang Jinyi's room.

"Jin'er, mother is also checking the accounts. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."

"Mother, I need to buy a shop, is that okay with you?"

"This is allowed by the Wang family. The industry is to support scholars, but they are not allowed to enter the market. Do you understand?"

"Zhu Yu, you go first."

After the servants had left the room, Wang Jinyi lowered his voice and spoke.

"Mother, you can buy a shop in my name, but I can't run it, right?"
