Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

It is said that it is easy to make money from women, and this can be seen from the customer base of the food delivery outside Yunfeng Building.

All the young girls and wives locked in the boudoir love beauty. They spend all day either embroidering or dressing themselves up. It is said that it is easy to make money from women, and it is even easier to make money if you spend it on women's love of beauty.

The wintersweets are about to enter their peak flowering period, so why not take advantage of them and make some money?

This wintersweet can be used to make perfume and essential oils. Making essential oils can also produce hydrosols. These are all good things. It seems I need to consider them carefully.

"Long inkstone!"

Just when Ye Changyan was thinking about his plan to make money, he felt someone patting his shoulder, and then he heard Liang Jingcheng calling him.

"Master Liang?"

Seeing Liang Jingcheng looking a little mysterious, Ye Changyan looked at Liang Jingcheng with suspicion.

"Still calling me Young Master Liang? Call me Senior Brother and let me hear it."

As he spoke, Liang Jingcheng took out an exquisite and slender sandalwood box and waved it in front of Ye Changyan.

"Liang Nineteen, what do you want to do?"

"What Liang Nineteen? You have no respect for your elders. Call me Senior Brother. If you do well, I will give you a gift."

Liang Jingcheng looked annoyed and waved the slender sandalwood box in front of Ye Changyan twice.

"You open it and take a look first. I need to see if it's worth it."

Liang Jingcheng was confident and gently opened the sandalwood box. He saw a pen inside. Liang Jingcheng carefully took out the pen, showed it in front of Ye Changyan, and then said.

"This is a work by Wang Guowei, a master of ivory carving from the previous dynasty. Look at the warm and delicate color. It is a top-notch work among ivory carving pens!"

Liang Jingcheng looked very proud, but he did have the capital to be proud. This ivory carving pen by Wang Guowei was indeed a fine product and worth a lot of money.

"For the sake of this ivory carving brush, I will reluctantly call you Senior Brother."

Ye Changyan turned around and smiled, and called out to him in a flattering manner, "Senior Brother."

"Speak louder, I didn't hear you." Liang Jingcheng also joked with a smile.

"Brother! Did you hear that?"

Ye Changyan leaned close to Liang Jingcheng's ear and shouted loudly.

Liang Jingcheng suddenly felt a gust of warm wind rushing into his ears, and a tingling sensation ran down his back.

Before Liang Jingcheng could answer, another gust of warm wind blew on his face, and Ye Changyan leaned close to Liang Jingcheng's cheek with some evil taste and shouted loudly.

"Brother! Did you hear that?"

"I heard it, I heard it."

Liang Jingcheng quickly agreed and handed the sandalwood box and ivory carving pen in his hand to Ye Changyan. Seeing Ye Changyan taking the sandalwood box and ivory carving pen and smiling like a child, Liang Jingcheng also showed a sweet smile with a bit of pampering on his face, and he felt his ears seemed to be a little hot.

Time soon came to the afternoon, and the gloomy sky turned gray and it looked like it was about to rain. Ye Xiaozheng said goodbye to Mr. Cai.

Mr. Cai tried to persuade them to stay, but they didn't bother to argue any further. He just looked up at the sky and saw that it was indeed going to rain soon, so he ordered a carriage to take the Ye family away.

The group arrived at the gate of the yard, and the coachman Lao Lin quickly brought the carriage, and then they heard the voice of Mr. Cai.

"Sanlang, please stay today. Today is my master's birthday. You should prepare a sumptuous meal for me tonight."

Upon hearing this, Ye Changyan muttered in a grumble, "Teacher, you accepted me as your disciple, aren't you just thinking about satisfying your appetite?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard it.

"Then Sanlang, you should stay here and cook a good meal for your teacher. Show your filial piety to him."

Ye Xiaozheng, who had just got into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and with a smile on his face, gave instructions to Ye Changyan.

"Okay, got it, Dad. I'll stay today then."

As he spoke, Ye Changyan spoke to Erniu who was standing in front of the carriage.

"Erniu, I'm going to the county town tomorrow to do some work. Go back and see if the wintersweets on the mountain have bloomed. If they have, pick the ones that have bloomed and take them home. Leave the buds, as they will be of great use to me when I come back."

Erniu nodded and said, "Okay, brother, I'll go to the mountain early tomorrow morning to take a look."

Ye Changyan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you and Wulang go ask the children in the village if they are willing to go up the mountain to pick wintersweet flowers. I'll give them five cents for each pound they pick."

"Okay, okay! I'll go back and tell Maodan and Huwa and the others. I guarantee they'll agree."

When Wulang heard that his brother was willing to pay for the purchase, he was overjoyed and immediately applauded, because he also wanted to earn some pocket money for himself.

"We must tell them not to pick the buds that haven't opened yet, so that they can sell the wintersweets for longer and make more money."

Ye Changyan gave instructions to Wulang and Erniu before he saw them get on the carriage. Soon, the coachman Lao Lin drove the carriage and disappeared at the end of his sight.

"Teacher, I saw you fishing this morning. How about I cook two fish dishes for you in the evening?"

The three teachers and students came back from the courtyard gate and walked to the lotus pond. Ye Changyan remembered that Mr. Cai was fishing in the morning, so he asked.

"Haha, the teacher is not good at fishing. He sat by the lotus pond for most of the morning and only caught a small fish the size of a thumb."

Mr. Cai said with an awkward smile, and then he looked towards Liang Jingcheng.

"Jingcheng is really good at fishing."

"Teacher, it's cold, I don't want to freeze here, let Tingfeng catch two big fish for you."

Liang Jingcheng decisively refused. Ye Changyan also looked up at the sky. It was gray and it looked like it was going to rain, so he said to Mr. Cai.

"Teacher, fishing has its own fun, and eating fish has its own fun. Let's just enjoy the fun of eating fish today."

When Mr. Cai saw Liang Jingcheng's refusal and heard Ye Changyan's persuasion, he shouted towards the distance.

"Tingfeng, come and catch some fish."

Lu Tingfeng appeared from somewhere and quickly reached the lotus pond.

Suddenly, Ye Changyan felt a figure flash by, and saw Lu Tingfeng leaping to the middle of the lotus pond. He lightly tapped a piece of withered lotus with his right foot, tilted his body, grabbed with his right hand, kicked with his left leg, and with another leap, he jumped back to Mr. Cai.

This series of actions took only a few breaths, but it dazzled Ye Changyan. He was so shocked that he did not expect that Lu Tingfeng, who was usually like an invisible man, had such amazing skills. He was like a martial arts master in the movies of his previous life. Ye Changyan looked at Lu Tingfeng with admiration.

When he saw this, he almost dropped his jaw in shock. He saw that Lu Tingfeng was holding two big fishes jumping around in his right hand. Yes, he was not mistaken. He really was holding two big fishes that were about a foot long in his right hand.

Ye Changyan almost knelt down to worship him. Lu Tingfeng was truly amazing. Not only was his kung fu amazing, but his eyesight was amazing. He could see the two fish next to each other in the middle of the lotus pond at a glance. Lu Tingfeng demonstrated these skills to the fullest.
