I'm a scumbag?impossible! [Quick Transmigration]

The raw material for making Jingchuan paper is tender bamboo, which is different from ordinary paper in that after pulping, it requires high-viscosity beating, which needs to reach more than 4500 times, which is similar to pounding rice and beating glutinous rice cakes.

After Li Ziyu had a direction, the matter was actually quite simple. You must know that he is now enjoying the soft food of the Hou Mansion, as long as he gives orders, someone will naturally take care of this matter.

So, Steward Li received the first task that my uncle arranged for him after he entered the mansion.

"Housekeeper Li, you need to find someone to go to the village to chop a carload of tender bamboo, and then arrange a few strong and capable servants. You also need to tidy up a remote courtyard, and prepare a few stone pestles in advance. The sooner the better."

Although Li Ren didn't know what my uncle was going to do, but for such a request, he just had to obey orders. "Excuse me, uncle, do you have any other orders?"

Li Ziyu thought for a while and said, "It would be even better if we could find some people who understand papermaking."

Li Ren laughed when he heard this: "That's simple. We run a calligraphy and painting shop in our house, and there is an old master who knows how to make paper."

"Okay, then let him go to the house tomorrow, I have something to arrange."

Li Ren saw that there was nothing else to do, so he resigned, and when he was walking back, he was still thinking, how good is their uncle, this hobby, save money!

The old master came over the next morning.

"Master, what's your name?"

"Uncle Wan'an, this old man's surname is Qin, and his name is Guang'an."

Li Ziyu saw that although his hair was gray, his eyes were bright and his speech was clear, so he felt relieved and said to him, "I'm sorry to ask you to come here this time, mainly because I want you to help me make paper."

"Grandpa, you are welcome, may I ask what kind of paper you need to make?"

"Oh, toilet paper."

"What, what?" The old man thought he didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.

"Don't doubt yourself, you heard me right, it's toilet paper!"

"I have been engaged in paper making for more than [-] years, and I have never heard of this kind of paper. My uncle is talking about jute paper!"

In this era, scholars are highly respected, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and books are even more precious. Let's put it this way, the price of a book is equivalent to two years' expenses of an ordinary farmer, so there is a collection of money. There is a saying that the whole village supports a scholar.

The toilet paper used by the aristocratic family is actually a defective product in the paper-making process. It is really unheard of to make toilet paper for Chugong.

Li Ziyu didn't care how much his words had impacted the old man, so he pulled him to his side and began to talk about Jingchuan Zhi's practice.

In fact, there is not much difference from the general paper manufacturing method as a whole, mainly because the raw materials and beating need to pay special attention.

When he mentioned his expertise, Qin Guangan focused on it. He is a veteran craftsman. Hearing what Li Ziyu said about the production process, he felt that the method was feasible. When he heard that this kind of paper was made as thin as cicada's wings, his heart was even more excited. , would love to try it soon.

Qin Guangan still had a few apprentices under his command, and his two sons also inherited this craft. Knowing that the raw materials would arrive tomorrow at the latest, they went home to pack up without delay.

Before leaving, Li Ziyu said to him: "If you need anything, just tell Butler Li and let him arrange it for you."

Li Ziyu arranged everything and began to prepare for the exam. Yesterday, his father-in-law specifically told him to focus on his studies. In half a month, it will be Chunwei. He represents the face of the Hou family, and also You should really study hard for the exam.

Here, Qin Guangan left Li Ziyu's study and went to the front yard to find Butler Li.

"Housekeeper Li, the bamboo needs to be soaked for half a month after transporting it back. It is best to build a pond in this yard."

Li Ren thought for a while and said, "There happens to be a small pond in the west courtyard of our mansion. You can go and have a look with me later. If it's okay, I'll arrange it for you after I return to my wife."

"That's a good relationship. The pond is bigger than the pond, and it can be used!"

Li Ren happened to have nothing to do, so he went there with him. The two of them walked and chatted all the way, and Li Ren knew that their uncle wanted to make toilet paper, which is really an extraordinary hobby!

When Qin Guangan led his son and apprentices to soak the tender bamboo and make drying tools in the west courtyard, Li Ziyu was preparing for the exam at ease in the study, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Wei Kangle got up early and checked the contents of the cage twice.

Seeing that he was more nervous than himself, Li Ziyu was moved and persuaded him, "Didn't you check it yesterday, don't worry!"

When Wei Kangle heard this, he stopped.He sat on the stool and looked up at the man beside him.

A few months ago, he was worried about marrying a stranger, but since the first day of marriage, he has no time to think about other things. This man revolves around him every day, and why is he not? With him as the center?

This man is full of gossip, but he is also very responsible. Unknowingly, he has put the other party in his heart. He is the father of his child, and he is the one who will be with him for the rest of his life.

He believed him, and he never doubted whether Li Ziyu could be admitted to Jinshi, so why was he so nervous?It's just because I care too much!

After eating court food, Li Ziyu stopped Wei Kangle, "Don't worry! I used to be a poor boy, and my scientific examinations went smoothly. Now that I am backed by the Marquis Mansion, there will be no problems!"

Under his persuasion, Wei Kangle stopped in his tracks, and only waited for Li Ziyu to walk around the corridor, and when he looked back, he saw Jia Lele staring at him and seeing him waving his hands, so he smiled , Turn around and go back to the room.

After a series of screenings, Li Ziyu finally sat in the small cubicle, where he was going to stay for three days.

Modern people always think that ancient scholars were weak, but in fact, only after personal experience, do they know that those who are really weak cannot enter the officialdom.

The scientific examination tests not only knowledge, insights, but also physical fitness.

Why hasn't the imperial court remodeled such a simple tribute courtyard for many years?Among them, there is no reason to screen out bad health through this method, and at the same time, it also encourages those students who study hard all day long, not to forget to strengthen their bodies.

A large court meeting lasted for several hours, and in case of emergencies, it is common to work overtime. If you don’t have enough physical fitness, you can’t handle it!

Li Ziyu didn't have any worries in this regard. He himself paid more attention to physical fitness, not to mention his father-in-law's supervision, and he was still forced to practice kung fu together in the cold winter months, so he didn't have a chance to relax for a few days.

Li Ziyu was grinding the frozen inkstone, wearing a down underwear inside, a cotton robe on the outside, and a fox fur cloak on the outside.

There was only a small charcoal basin next to it, and the rising heat was blown away by the cold wind before it could be felt a little.

Li Ziyu sighed in his heart, it's really a test!However, Li Ziyu, who has been educated by the modern system and ravaged by thousands of troops, said: For him, this is just another civil service exam.

However, having said that, being in this circle for three days is really difficult, especially at night, it is really too cold, and people who are cold can't sleep at all.

After coming to this world, Li Ziyu, who had been negligent in practicing kung fu, finally made a breakthrough in the mental method, running the mental method, and finally felt better.

The next morning, six people were carried out. Li Ziyu was very emotional. It seems that it is difficult for doctoral students to find jobs!

When the chime sounded to signify the end of the exam, Li Ziyu finally relaxed his tense mind. In the past three days, he only ate fried noodles and two cakes once, mainly because the taste in the Gongyuan made him unable to rise desire to eat.

This was because the weather was cold and the smell was not obvious. Thinking of this, he had to thank the original body, who had already passed the general examination in August last year, and saved his nose from being poisoned once.

Walking out of the Gongyuan, there was already a carriage from the Houfu waiting outside. Compared with those who needed support and those who were carried out, Li Ziyu was considered to be in better condition among the group of students, but he still couldn't hide his haggard face.

When he was about to get into the carriage, Li Ziyu told his bookboy Qingzhu, "You go back to the mansion first, and tell your young master not to wait outside, just stay at home obediently. I have been in the Gongyuan for a few days. My son is too old, I will see him after I take a shower and change my clothes."

Qingzhu took the order and hurried back to the house.

The concierge saw him and asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where is my uncle? Nothing will happen, right?"

"Bah! Bah! What are you talking about? Young Master is fine!" Qingzhu went to the mansion while talking, turned around the screen wall, saw Wei Kangle waiting there, and hurried forward to report: "Young Master has already boarded the carriage, Worried that the young master is waiting so anxiously, let you go back to the room first, and he will go to see you after taking a shower and changing clothes!"

Mrs. Hou also followed and said: "Look at what I just said! Go back quickly, don't make Qianhong worry."

Wei Kangle was helpless, but also moved by her husband's concern, so she turned and went back to Wuyou Garden.

After Li Ziyu returned home, he washed himself twice and felt refreshed. He put on his underwear and went back to their bedroom.

Wei Kangle had already ordered the maid to arrange the meals. As soon as Li Ziyu was seated, a bowl of shredded chicken noodles was served here, with a plate of pickled cucumbers on the side. Li Ziyu was moved by his wife's thoughtfulness and smiled at him After a while, he ate voraciously.In the end, even the soup in the bowl was not spared.

After he was full, Li Ziyu stroked his stomach and said, "Madam still loves me, this is really the best meal I have eaten in three days!"

When Wei Kangle heard this, he thought in his heart that he would make up for his husband in the next few days.

Li Ziyu didn't rest well in the past three days. After eating, he lay down on the bed and waved to Wei Kangle: "Lele, come here! Let me kiss my husband!"

After hearing this, the servants outside retreated one by one. Wei Kangle waited until the temperature on his face dissipated, and then came to the bedside.

Li Ziyu took his hand and led him to the bed. After he sat down on the bed, he pulled him into the quilt again, leaned close to his ear and kissed him, and said: "The ancients said, one day I don't see you, it's like three autumns! This time, my husband has really experienced this feeling. I have been thinking about you all the time in the past three days and two nights, especially when I can't sleep at night, does Lele miss me? "

Don't look at Wei Kangle's flamboyant teeth and claws at ordinary times, but once Li Ziyu said something passionate, he couldn't resist. At this time, he would only be like a little quail.Whatever that dog man does, he can only suffer. Fortunately, this guy still knows the importance.

Wei Kangle was held in Li Ziyu's arms, seeing the tiredness between his brows and eyes, felt very distressed, left behind his previous arrogance, leaned over, kissed him between the brows and said, "Go to sleep, your sweet mouth is like wipe It's like honey!"

It was rare for Li Ziyu to be treated like this, so he chuckled, but he was really tired, especially after returning to a familiar environment, with his wife in his arms, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Li Ziyu fell asleep, Wei Kangle got up from his arms.Looking at the man's steamy hair after taking a bath just now, he muttered, "I'm not afraid of the wind!" He picked up a cloth towel and wiped it for him.

After two days of such a peaceful and peaceful life, the second exam was ushered in. There were three exams in total, each three days. When all the exams were over, it was already March.

During the period of waiting for the release of the rankings, Li Ziyu, besides accompanying his wife, ran to Xiaokuayuan. Their family's first batch of Jingchuan paper had already been made.

When Qin Guangan saw the finished paper as thin as cicada's wings, he was extremely excited. For craftsmen, there is nothing more gratifying than this.

Li Ziyu was also very happy when he saw it. The quality of the paper was better than he expected, and he praised: "Good work, I will go to the cashier to pay ten taels of silver as a bounty, and the remaining apprentices and craftsmen will each have two taels of silver!"

People around were very happy to hear it, and thanked them repeatedly.

Li Ziyu ordered again: "Cut these finished products into half-foot squares, and the green bamboo will run around once in a while, half of them will be sent to the main courtyard, and the other half will be sent to Wuyou Garden."

When Qin Guangan heard this, he felt a little bit reluctant, but he also knew that the original purpose of making this paper was for Gongru's toilet.

Li Ziyu doesn't care about the other party's entanglements. Life is inseparable from eating, drinking and sleeping. Only by solving these can we pursue a higher level.

His purpose in life is: to make himself and his family live more comfortably within the scope of his ability, and never wrong himself.

It's just that the popularity of this Jingchuan paper in the capital was beyond Li Ziyu's expectation.

That night, after Wei Hou came out of Gong's room, he asked his wife suspiciously: "What is this?"

Madam Hou covered her lips and smiled when she saw the paper in her husband's hand: "It's our son-in-law's filial piety."

Hearing this, Weihou, who has always been wise, was stunned, and the official words came out: "What do you mean by this?"

"Didn't Qianhong summon Lao Qin to the mansion before? I have been busy in Xikuayuan for a month, and I have been making toilet paper."

Wei Hou always said straight in front of his wife: "I didn't expect him to make such a good paper. I thought it was some maid who made a mistake. I rummaged in the bamboo basket for a long time before I found a few bamboos. Funding." Wei Hou looked at the paper like a silk handkerchief in his hand and felt that it would be a pity to make toilet paper.

"Who says it's not? People are reluctant to use it. My uncle sent a lot. I kept some and put them in a box. The big maids in the room asked for a few pictures of flowers. It's a pity that the cut is too big. It's small, so it's suitable for sewing a purse."

The husband and wife gossiped around the Jingchuan paper for a long time, and they didn't go to sleep until late at night.

It's just that I didn't expect that in just half a day, the toilet paper of the Zhenbeihou Mansion had already gained a reputation among the elite circles in the capital.

The reason is that when someone visited the Hou's mansion, they found that there was a kind of paper that had never been seen before in the bamboo basket of their Gong's house. It was not only smooth, but also soft and transparent.

Gossip does not distinguish between age, status, or status. In this way, the reputation of this kind of paper has spread. If it is not for the sake of face, those big bosses may be able to steal toilet paper.

Later, a great Confucian scholar said to Marquis Wei: "If children are young, if they can use this Jingchuan paper to draw on the characters when they are enlightened, it will be of great benefit to practicing calligraphy. What does Marquis think?"

What else could Wei Hou do, he could only say yes repeatedly, and then the calligraphy and painting shop of Zhenbei Hou's family put this kind of paper on the shelves.

Since then, Jingchuan paper has become the best-selling item in the shop. Girls will use it to draw and embroider images, children in elementary school will use it to draw red, and Confucian scholars will also use it to print calligraphy and painting.

Don't waste it after use, Gongfang's bamboo basket is its best destination, and it is also jokingly called as a way to let the butt also be stained with style.

Li Ziyu said, you can use it however you like, as long as you don’t limit my original intention of making it!

The days always pass quickly in the busyness, and in a blink of an eye, the day of publishing the list has arrived.

The author has something to say:
