A little sweet through the fragrant
Chapter 48
Yun Cheng blinked slowly, tried hard to distinguish Ye Cunshan's meaning, recalled the tacit avoidance of the two of them that day, couldn't help but frowned, "You don't want a child?"
this question.
Ye Cunshan bit the back of his neck, and the hand that was loosely holding the man's waist also tightened, the palm was hot, and a layer of underwear could not block the fire.
Yun Cheng's body was tense, and he subconsciously grabbed the corner of the quilt.Breathing should also be tight, but it is abnormally slightly panting.
He didn't look back, nor did he show any resistance.
He is very attractive when he behaves well, Ye Cunshan asked him to pretend.
Yuncheng asked what to pretend.
Ye Cunshan said, "Try to resist and resist."
Yun Cheng just laughed at him, "Do you like this tune?"
"Want to play the game of robbing civilian husbands?"
Ye Cunshan's reaction gave him a great sense of security, and Yuncheng's mood changed like a gust of wind, and he dared to come up with bad ideas, "Then why don't you let me be blindfolded, and you tie me up like a burglar?"
Ye Cunshan replied: "Do you like this tune?"
He turned over and sat up, lightly pressed Yuncheng's arm with one knee, untied his hair tie, and blindfolded Yuncheng when he turned his head to look at him.
The darkness gives people a very low sense of security, and the sensitivity of the five senses has doubled.
Yun Cheng was wrapped in a small quilt and didn't dare to move. When he was kissed by Ye Cunshan indiscriminately, he stopped being forced to bear it because he was uncomfortable, and gave him a little response.
After a cloudy afternoon, it finally rained.
Patter, drip, tick, thunder rolling.
The temperature in the room rose uncontrollably, Yuncheng was numb, his hands were free, but he didn't want to take off the blindfolded hairband, but put it on Ye Cunshan's shoulder.
This action, which was the same as tacit consent, almost burned out Ye Cunshan's only rationality on the spot.
Two thoughts crossed each other in my mind.
One party said: "If you cross the border at this time, isn't it a beast?"
One party said: "If you don't do it at this time, is it still a man?"
To be a beast, or to be a man.
This question gave Ye Cunshan a headache.
Yuncheng said, "You don't have to go in."
Then pay for it.
The rain turned into ice particles in the middle of the night, and it turned into heavy snow in the early morning.
It was damp outside, and the ground was covered with ice.
Ye Cunshan felt dry, so he didn't wear a cotton robe when he went out to shovel ice.
No one scolded him for caring about him today, because Yun Cheng was about to sleep.
He waited for a while, saw Liu Xiaotian coming, and then said to someone: "Yuncheng is not awake yet, you decoct the medicine and cook the porridge until he wakes up. If there is nothing else, you It’s okay to burn the kotatsu at our house today and do your own work.”
He was worried that no one was with him at home.
Liu Xiaotian naturally agreed.
The corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of joy today, Ye Cunshan is not stupid, thinking about the end of yesterday, according to the rules of Du's study, Yuan Mo should have received the retouching fee, a bowl of sour vinegar was doused in his heart, and the fire of desire and dissatisfaction was extinguished , Went to school with my schoolbag on my back.
The academy has been busy these days.
After the date of the county test was announced, those in the academy who hadn't passed the test started to move.
Seniors like Ye Cunshan and the others who have passed the prefectural and government examinations and won the title of "children" will be asked by many students about the environment of the examination room, precautions for the examination, and what to bring during the examination.
The format that I usually abide by when writing an article should also be asked at this time.
When you go to the county ceremonial house, you also need to ask whether you need to reward the small officials in the yamen.
Candidates also go together as guarantors for each other, and they have to ask the teachers of the academy to help contact the grannies as guarantors.
Under this kind of atmosphere, the college courses are a bit slack, but those who are going to take the college exam this year don't dare to relax.
Ye Yan also approached Ye Cunshan and said: "Our small county has limited quota, about ten people a year, and there are many people who take the exam. I think I'm close this year."
Ye Yankai started early, and passed the county examination when he was 12 years old.
The 12-year-old Ye Cunshan is still farming in the countryside and only knows his name.
Ye Yan didn't prepare well for the government test, so he failed.
Waiting here for another three years, I passed the exam once and got the title of Tongsheng, and then I didn't pass the exam.
During the three-year waiting period, the three brothers in the family got married, and he also had a child.
Now another three years have passed, sister Chan will be four years old, and he is still stuck on this hurdle with no name.
Ye Cunshan said that he was too preoccupied, "The family allows you to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, so you just obey."
No matter how rich the family background is, they are also wealthy households in the countryside.The three brothers got married before and after, and then separated the family. This time, most of the family's wealth can be emptied.
It's just that the eldest brother and the second brother don't have any scholars in their family, and they are all good at farming, hunting and fishing. The family is subsidizing, so life is naturally good.
Ye Yan was weak and couldn't get down to the ground. Where were his parents? His chosen wife, Liu Yun, didn't do much heavy work when she was at her mother's house. There was no harvest in the fields, and the money spent on studying couldn't go down. She couldn't make ends meet for a few years, and the family wouldn't be ruined. up.
Ye Cunshan could see clearly, so he never believed Ye Da's nonsense.
This is not caused by being dragged down by reading, but because the family does not have a good job.
Ye Yan has already been taught a lesson by Yuncheng, and during this time he also stayed up late every day to study and read.
He has a good foundation, he has already memorized the Four Books, and he has also memorized the meanings of the Five Classics. During the two years when he was away from school at home, although he often asked his teacher questions, he still couldn't say he was proficient in every sentence.
According to the experience of the predecessors, the children's exams in the three exams are all small questions.
It’s okay if the meaning is incomplete, some intercepted questions, take the previous sentence in this section, and take the next sentence in that section, which are obviously irrelevant, but put together can be very bluffing, written on paper is: You will not Do, you trash.
Ye Yan sighed, "You asked me to go to the study with you to read earlier, I should go."
It was only after the separation of the family that his family status slowly declined. He received an early education and had a thin skin. He couldn't afford to stand and read in the study, being scrutinized by people coming and going.
As he said that, he mentioned Du Zhichun again: "He kept his filial piety before, and now he has lived a life. This year we will end together, and the case has been decided."
Ye Cunshan accepted it well, he grew up rolling around in the pile of books, if there were no accidents, he wouldn't be worth joining them.
"We don't fight for the first place, it's good if we can pass."
Du Zhichun is also busy recently, he has a lot of friends, and there are many poetry and tea parties on weekdays. When it is necessary to contact the housekeeper to get a guarantee, he will naturally help to contact them.
I also registered the students who are going to take the college entrance examination this year, so as to save time and time running around the city.
When he went to the academy, he was excited by the atmosphere of the imperial examination, and when he returned home, Ye Cunshan had already collected his emotions.
Yun Cheng also got up, dozed off on the warming table, Liu Xiaotian left later today, and when Ye Cunshan came back, there was someone at home, so he took off his apron and hurried home.
It was still snowing outside, and he was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat.
After taking the retouching fee, Yuan Mo was also generous, and bought him a pair of small leather boots, so he wouldn't be afraid of getting his shoes wet when he walked on the wet ground.
Ye Cunshan asked: "How much is Yuan Mo's retouching fee?"
Yun Cheng glanced at him and said, "20 taels."
This is a fixed retouching fee before it is released, and it will be supplemented after it is printed and published, depending on the follow-up response.
Those like Yuncheng who can hand in every volume and get 50 taels are the few.
Even Liu Wenbai, who wrote "The Goddess Fu Yaolu", was 20 taels at first, and 100 taels together in the end.
Yun Cheng calculates that he can have 150 taels for a book. From this point of view, if there are no scholars in the family, life is not known how good it will be.
After all, if this little money is spilled, it is enough to buy a few books for Ye Cunshan.
Basic textbooks like "Thirteen Classics" are not expensive, but the other ones are more expensive than the other ones. Even if they are willing to pay for the annotated books, they can't buy them in this remote county.
After Ye Cunshan washed his hands, Yuncheng got up from the table, moved the food to the middle, and served people rice and soup, speaking with a nasal voice, "I told Xiaotian that the snow will not come here, I will cook at home A stew is also fine, and you can also cook dumplings and steam buns.
He and Ye Cunshan change and wash frequently. In this weather, they have to take a bath and wash their hair every now and then. Because there are few people in the family, the cotton clothes outside are not changed every day, so they don't change many clothes.
In addition, the place is not big, and there are only a few places that need to be cleaned every day. The main problem is cooking.
Yuncheng said: "I can still go out to buy, and I will also go out for a stroll recently."
Exercising, exercising, and breathing.
Ye Cunshan heard that his voice was wrong, raised his hand to touch his forehead, but there was no fever.
Yuncheng said: "I have a cold, I drank ginger soup."
This naturally made Ye Cunshan blame himself, he was too late on impulse, and turned the bed a few more times to dissipate the heat.
He was full of fire, and Yuncheng couldn't bear it.
Originally, he wanted to take him to the medical clinic again, but Yuncheng was unwilling to move, because he had been ill for a long time.
Now I just catch a little cold, just stay at home and sweat, but when I go out and see the cold wind, it may be serious.
During the short break at noon, Ye Cunshan told Yuncheng the earthen prescription, and continued to pour hot water to soak his feet, adding ginger slices to it.
The water temperature is much higher than usual for soaking feet. Yuncheng also knows that ancient colds will cause other symptoms if they are not cured for a long time.
Ye Cunshan put wool socks on for him—Yun Cheng wove it himself, his body hadn't recovered well, his hands and feet were cold when he slept, and Ye Cunshan would keep him warm, so he wanted to wear them too.
After sweating, his hair roots were wet, and his voice became hoarse, "How long will I be bored? It's so uncomfortable, my body is sticky."
"When you come back at night, you can talk without a nasal sound."
Just over two hours, converted to about four hours.
Yun Cheng was also sleepy, so he obediently nodded in agreement, and rubbed his face against Ye Cunshan's palm, "Then you go to school."
Ye Cunshan stood by the bed and looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked: "Is Liu Xiaotian not coming this afternoon?"
Yun Chengying said, "It rained heavily last night and the ground was frozen, making it difficult to walk. Now that the snow hasn't accumulated, I'm afraid he might fall on the road."
Ye Cunshan patted his head, "Go to sleep."
He went to the academy again in the afternoon, and he asked for leave.
Their academy is a private school, and the management is not as strict as the official school. Some students avoid the monthly exams at the end of the year. It is normal to ask for leave on weekdays.
Ye Cunshan used to take a one-month break to save money.
After leaving the academy, he went to the medical hall to grab a dose of medicine, and when he came back, Yuncheng had already fallen asleep in a daze, and he put his hands outside, feeling cold to the touch.
Ye Cunshan stuffed him back into the bed and woke him up.
Yun Cheng asked, "Are you out of school?"
Ye Cunshan nodded along with his words, "Yes."
He put away his schoolbag, first went to decoct the medicine, then took off the cold book long gown, and changed into the short cotton padded clothes he was used to wearing. Thinking about Yun Cheng's exquisiteness, he also washed his feet before moving the kang table to place at the end of the bed.
Today, Ye Yan said that the exam was mostly small questions, and Ye Cunshan was going to read more "Four Books" to warm Yuncheng's feet by the way.
The kang table was placed far away, so that he could lean back against the wall, and his legs and feet could be stretched out without being crossed, just enough to nest his legs and feet.
"Wake up and drink another medicine."
Yuncheng didn't seem to be afraid of hardship, and he didn't show any resistance in this drowsy state.
Ye Cunshan scratched the sole of his foot and was kicked.
When the couple was staying at home, Du's study found something.
Buddy Yu is clearing out books that are not selling well in the study and selling outdated vernacular editions to make room for newer vernacular editions.
After these books are cleared, they can be sold at a special price, and then they will be taken away by the merchants as a bonus.
The inside pages have to be checked for fear of damage inside - a book costs one or two taels of silver.
While checking, he found a drawing.
The painting style of the manuscript is very familiar, that is, their family's picture albums that have been popular for a while, and can still be printed now, but they don't earn a few pennies, have the same style.
Boyfriend Yu glanced at it briefly, then looked at it carefully, and was awakened by this sketch for a long time.
When the purchase of their albums was limited and people were waiting to buy them, there were indeed two people wandering around outside the bookstore for a few days.
One thin and one tall.
Buddy Yu looked at the content of the album again, and realized.
It turned out that it was not someone sent by other studies to follow, but someone who took the picture album and resold it.
Look at the small label above: Anti-Scam Guide.
When he got something, he naturally wanted to show it to his father, and his father took this style and sent it to the second young master's house.
The second young master has been focusing on the study recently, so Xueda didn't go to the engraving workshop today, and said that the book will start selling tomorrow before the weather clears.
"Otherwise, if there is a delay, it will be difficult to travel by land and water, and outsiders will steal the seal again."
Shopkeeper Yu said yes, and also asked about the drawing. Du Zhiqiu said, "No one is free in the engraving workshop. I will copy a few copies later to see if Mr. Lu will return to Yu County. Tell him to have fun." , can also bring a copy of the past to Mr. Cheng."
Mr. Cheng wanted to print the picture album. Although this anti-fraud guide is only a piece of paper, let me show you the interesting things behind it.
He sighed, "It would be great if the owner of this sketch would show up. I think the album sells better than the novel."
The painting style of the sketch is novel, but charcoal pencils and inferior paper are easy to find and the cost is low, so some painters can imitate them.
Mr. Cheng didn't speak out to find someone, because he was afraid that someone would take credit for his merits.
Now there are quite a few hipsters and charcoal-drawers out there.
Du Zhiqiu had invited two before, and there was no picture book for others to refer to and copy. The things he drew were not as good as his own hands.
Shopkeeper Yu is also a pity, he even taught his son a lesson.
There are not many customers in the bookstore every day, and it is even rarer to come to stand and read without buying anything.
There are not many people here, so it will be eye-catching to read a few books. If you pay attention a little, you can see who put up the sketches?
They don't publicize it either, they ask for drafts and collaborate in private.
Boyfriend Yu is also reasonable: "Look at what he drew, it was the "yellow cattle" speculation price during the album sales. How could there be few people in those days? The shop can't be crowded! I'm afraid that someone will take other books indiscriminately!"
Having said that, Du Zhiqiu will also hire some strong guards for the sale of the next few volumes of "Zuo Son-in-law" tomorrow.
Shopkeeper Yu has a lot of cooperation with Jinghe Paper Shop, and now their family has added a low-cost paper order to print books for the imperial examination.
Mr. Du is concerned about the students and wants to lower the price from the cost.
The low-priced paper is darker in color, and the eyes are uncomfortable after staring at it for a long time.
But it can be used for writing and writing at ordinary times, and it doesn't matter for reading.
Nothing is perfect.
During the commute, he met Ye Yong and Ye Hu brothers, among other things, the stop there was a wall of people, and no one could touch them.
He recommended it, but Du Zhiqiu had no objection, "You can contact me."
According to the enthusiasm of the short-selling shop a few years ago, they will not close their doors after the next year, and the time will be longer, and people will be invited, at least seven days.
After passing the word back to the village, the two brothers Ye Hu and Ye Yong won the envy of many people.
"There are benefits to being strong."
"My son is also growing strong, why didn't he choose my family?"
Some people wanted to talk to Ye Gen and Ye Wang, grandfather and son, and said that they also wanted to deliver goods in the county and show their faces.
Ye Hu also succeeded in shocking Mr. Jiang because he went to Jiang's paper shop to sprinkle paper money, and got a reward from the paper shop.
Bringing this up together makes everyone sour.
The brothers' family is not sour.
The two daughters-in-law both cooked a few meat dishes for them. There was a lot of pork in the stewed pork vermicelli.There is also a lot of meat in the fried pork, and the clear soup balls are specially made.
The meatballs pinched from pure lean meat are boiled one by one, and the whole meat is not greasy, and it is satisfying to eat.
Someone outside spoke with a sting, "Why are you happy? The last person who was selected as a long-term worker because of his strong looks is still lying at home."
This is Yun Guangzhi.
When he said this, he was sprayed with saliva by the villagers.
For one thing, mentioning the Wang family and the Yun family is bad luck.
Secondly, this is not the same as a long-term worker. They make it clear that they borrow people.
Not even part-time workers, this is not a part-time job, it is to help acquaintances.
Help and get money!
The two of them delivered the goods only once, and now they are about to set off again, and they got orders from two families to carry things.
One is Qingyang's family.His marriage was coming soon, and his grandfather and parents gave Ye Hu some money to send, and asked him to go to the clinic to feel his pulse.
Brother's pregnancy mole is too shallow, it's not good after all.
One leaves everyone.
Ye Da got two packs of low-quality tea, which looked like a big pack, showing how filial the two sons and one daughter-in-law in the county were, and they were light and heavy, without any weight.
He also held his breath in his heart, so he created a family reunion with the village, and the illusion of filial piety by the juniors. Now he is slapping himself in the face, and all his previous efforts have been wasted.
But it's impossible for him to endure.
So he also did face-saving projects, so he used inferior tea oil paper, wrapped two bags of gifts and returned them.
The person receiving the gift was still Ye Hu, "It's so light."
Ye Dan took Ye Cunshan's words and said in a strange way: "Love is so important."
Ye Hu has a happy event today, and he has a straightforward personality, so he doesn't care about Ye Da's small belly. He took the gift and put it under the coir raincoat, and went to the county with his second brother.
The two brothers have strong physiques, and they will get angry when sleeping on the kang in winter. If they are traveling in such weather, they should wear more underwear, and they don't feel that it is hot when they walk.
They were still chatting on the road, saying that they should let the baby at home go to school early.
"Have you heard? The third brother also got a pen-finishing fee, so his books are sold in the study where the two of us are going to work this time."
"Didn't the junior in Liu Tuhu's family get 100 taels before? Do you know how much my third brother got from Sanyue?"
Ye Yong is more simple and honest than Ye Hu, so he won't inquire about these things, so he asked: "How much?"
Ye Hu counted.
Ye Yong guessed: "Ten taels?"
Ye Hu: "You are too unmotivated, what are you doing with ten taels, you can't even buy enough paper!"
Ye Yong smacked his lips, "Could it be 100 taels too?"
Ye Hu nodded, "Yes, it's because they sell well that there are so many."
Liu Dazhi's child will not be born until summer, and now he is thinking about sending the child to study, his family cannot lag behind.
"Let's earn more money this time, and then we can discuss sending the children to the academy for enlightenment."
When they arrived in the county, the two knew that those little dolls who looked to be in their teens were about to start the first imperial examination.
It just dawned on him, no wonder their third brother Xiu Mu didn't come home this time, maybe the hospital exam is not far away.
Thinking about taking this opportunity and sending something to someone.
When they arrived, it was already dark, so they went to the paper shop to fix it overnight, handed over the money given by Qingyang's family to Qingyang, and told him to remember to go to the medical clinic.
When it came time to talk about marriage, Qingyang also showed a shy gesture, and after agreeing, he asked Cunyin what medicine Yun Cheng had taken that night, and if he had any reaction now.
Cunyin said: "My sister-in-law has just passed her filial piety period, and it will take several months to respond."
Qingyang was also surprised, "Are they really so disciplined?"
Cuyin: "Well, my elder brother is a floor shop."
A lie, repeated several times, becomes the truth.
Ye Cunshan, who was "playing the floor", woke up from his husband's bed early the next morning. Yuncheng sweated all night, and then drank the medicine to cure the wind and cold. He was awake in the morning, and his voice was not hoarse.
After hearing from Ye Cunshan that he took a few days off, he quickly got naked under the covers and asked someone to fetch water to wipe his body, "I'm so sick."
Ye Cunshan's hands were itchy, and he really wanted to deal with him.
Why is this person so uneasy, that he will be healed, and that he will relapse?Just take it off.
Yuncheng urged him, "Hurry up, I'll be freezing later."
He also said: "The clothes are all trendy, so you can't do without changing."
The water for wiping the body was also a little hot, and the temperature was just right after the handkerchief passed through the water and then put on the body.
Yun Cheng wanted to wipe it by himself, but Ye Cunshan hated him and said, "I haven't seen where you are? Why hide? What can I do to you in broad daylight?"
As weak as he is, Ye Cunshan didn't dare to touch him anymore.
It will be bad if you catch the wind and cold again.
Yuncheng didn't make sense, "You've seen everything, so I can't be shy?"
Ye Cunshan just didn't understand this.
Yuncheng thought about it again, and asked him if he had to strip naked for inspection when he entered the examination room.
"Well, it's more than that. In summer, we go to touch fish to take a bath, and we just enter the river. There are a lot of people."
Just wear shorts, no one cares about the body.
Yun Cheng yelled at him, "Then have you ever seen a brother or sister who stripped off and went to fish in the river to take a bath?"
Ye Cunshan quickened his movements, after scrubbing his body, he held him down and kissed him for a while.
Someone knocked on the door outside, and Ye Hu's loud voice came in.
"Yun Cheng, I'm Ye Hu, and I'm here to give you a gift!"
At this time, he thought Ye Cunshan was in school.
Ye Cunshan tucked Yuncheng back into the bed, "Warm up first, and I'll change the quilt later."
Then go out and ask who sent it.
When he heard that it was a gift from Ye Da, he didn't even want to accept it.
Ye Hu didn't know what was inside, he just said it was very light, "Your father said that there is a lot of love, you two are so disgusting."
So Ye Cunshan knew that this was not a good thing.
Asking Ye Hu what was inside, Ye Hu said he didn't look at it and didn't ask, "It was already afternoon when I got the news, the weather is bad, we are on our way."
He urged Ye Cunshan to take it quickly, "You can read it yourself, I have to go to the paper shop, his house sells books today, and my second brother and I are going to help maintain that... Look out for some customers!"
The author has something to say:
Scratching my head, because I feel that [-] words is so simple, so I procrastinate. I am sorry for you. I will write the second update after I finish the update. It is expected to change. Don’t wait, everyone. Good night, readers, okay~
See you tomorrow.
this question.
Ye Cunshan bit the back of his neck, and the hand that was loosely holding the man's waist also tightened, the palm was hot, and a layer of underwear could not block the fire.
Yun Cheng's body was tense, and he subconsciously grabbed the corner of the quilt.Breathing should also be tight, but it is abnormally slightly panting.
He didn't look back, nor did he show any resistance.
He is very attractive when he behaves well, Ye Cunshan asked him to pretend.
Yuncheng asked what to pretend.
Ye Cunshan said, "Try to resist and resist."
Yun Cheng just laughed at him, "Do you like this tune?"
"Want to play the game of robbing civilian husbands?"
Ye Cunshan's reaction gave him a great sense of security, and Yuncheng's mood changed like a gust of wind, and he dared to come up with bad ideas, "Then why don't you let me be blindfolded, and you tie me up like a burglar?"
Ye Cunshan replied: "Do you like this tune?"
He turned over and sat up, lightly pressed Yuncheng's arm with one knee, untied his hair tie, and blindfolded Yuncheng when he turned his head to look at him.
The darkness gives people a very low sense of security, and the sensitivity of the five senses has doubled.
Yun Cheng was wrapped in a small quilt and didn't dare to move. When he was kissed by Ye Cunshan indiscriminately, he stopped being forced to bear it because he was uncomfortable, and gave him a little response.
After a cloudy afternoon, it finally rained.
Patter, drip, tick, thunder rolling.
The temperature in the room rose uncontrollably, Yuncheng was numb, his hands were free, but he didn't want to take off the blindfolded hairband, but put it on Ye Cunshan's shoulder.
This action, which was the same as tacit consent, almost burned out Ye Cunshan's only rationality on the spot.
Two thoughts crossed each other in my mind.
One party said: "If you cross the border at this time, isn't it a beast?"
One party said: "If you don't do it at this time, is it still a man?"
To be a beast, or to be a man.
This question gave Ye Cunshan a headache.
Yuncheng said, "You don't have to go in."
Then pay for it.
The rain turned into ice particles in the middle of the night, and it turned into heavy snow in the early morning.
It was damp outside, and the ground was covered with ice.
Ye Cunshan felt dry, so he didn't wear a cotton robe when he went out to shovel ice.
No one scolded him for caring about him today, because Yun Cheng was about to sleep.
He waited for a while, saw Liu Xiaotian coming, and then said to someone: "Yuncheng is not awake yet, you decoct the medicine and cook the porridge until he wakes up. If there is nothing else, you It’s okay to burn the kotatsu at our house today and do your own work.”
He was worried that no one was with him at home.
Liu Xiaotian naturally agreed.
The corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of joy today, Ye Cunshan is not stupid, thinking about the end of yesterday, according to the rules of Du's study, Yuan Mo should have received the retouching fee, a bowl of sour vinegar was doused in his heart, and the fire of desire and dissatisfaction was extinguished , Went to school with my schoolbag on my back.
The academy has been busy these days.
After the date of the county test was announced, those in the academy who hadn't passed the test started to move.
Seniors like Ye Cunshan and the others who have passed the prefectural and government examinations and won the title of "children" will be asked by many students about the environment of the examination room, precautions for the examination, and what to bring during the examination.

When you go to the county ceremonial house, you also need to ask whether you need to reward the small officials in the yamen.
Candidates also go together as guarantors for each other, and they have to ask the teachers of the academy to help contact the grannies as guarantors.
Under this kind of atmosphere, the college courses are a bit slack, but those who are going to take the college exam this year don't dare to relax.
Ye Yan also approached Ye Cunshan and said: "Our small county has limited quota, about ten people a year, and there are many people who take the exam. I think I'm close this year."
Ye Yankai started early, and passed the county examination when he was 12 years old.
The 12-year-old Ye Cunshan is still farming in the countryside and only knows his name.
Ye Yan didn't prepare well for the government test, so he failed.
Waiting here for another three years, I passed the exam once and got the title of Tongsheng, and then I didn't pass the exam.
During the three-year waiting period, the three brothers in the family got married, and he also had a child.
Now another three years have passed, sister Chan will be four years old, and he is still stuck on this hurdle with no name.
Ye Cunshan said that he was too preoccupied, "The family allows you to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, so you just obey."
No matter how rich the family background is, they are also wealthy households in the countryside.The three brothers got married before and after, and then separated the family. This time, most of the family's wealth can be emptied.
It's just that the eldest brother and the second brother don't have any scholars in their family, and they are all good at farming, hunting and fishing. The family is subsidizing, so life is naturally good.

There was no harvest in the fields, and the money spent on studying couldn't go down. She couldn't make ends meet for a few years, and the family wouldn't be ruined. up.
Ye Cunshan could see clearly, so he never believed Ye Da's nonsense.
This is not caused by being dragged down by reading, but because the family does not have a good job.
Ye Yan has already been taught a lesson by Yuncheng, and during this time he also stayed up late every day to study and read.
He has a good foundation, he has already memorized the Four Books, and he has also memorized the meanings of the Five Classics. During the two years when he was away from school at home, although he often asked his teacher questions, he still couldn't say he was proficient in every sentence.
According to the experience of the predecessors, the children's exams in the three exams are all small questions.
It’s okay if the meaning is incomplete, some intercepted questions, take the previous sentence in this section, and take the next sentence in that section, which are obviously irrelevant, but put together can be very bluffing, written on paper is: You will not Do, you trash.
Ye Yan sighed, "You asked me to go to the study with you to read earlier, I should go."
It was only after the separation of the family that his family status slowly declined. He received an early education and had a thin skin. He couldn't afford to stand and read in the study, being scrutinized by people coming and going.
As he said that, he mentioned Du Zhichun again: "He kept his filial piety before, and now he has lived a life. This year we will end together, and the case has been decided."
Ye Cunshan accepted it well, he grew up rolling around in the pile of books, if there were no accidents, he wouldn't be worth joining them.
"We don't fight for the first place, it's good if we can pass."
Du Zhichun is also busy recently, he has a lot of friends, and there are many poetry and tea parties on weekdays. When it is necessary to contact the housekeeper to get a guarantee, he will naturally help to contact them.
I also registered the students who are going to take the college entrance examination this year, so as to save time and time running around the city.
When he went to the academy, he was excited by the atmosphere of the imperial examination, and when he returned home, Ye Cunshan had already collected his emotions.
Yun Cheng also got up, dozed off on the warming table, Liu Xiaotian left later today, and when Ye Cunshan came back, there was someone at home, so he took off his apron and hurried home.
It was still snowing outside, and he was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat.
After taking the retouching fee, Yuan Mo was also generous, and bought him a pair of small leather boots, so he wouldn't be afraid of getting his shoes wet when he walked on the wet ground.
Ye Cunshan asked: "How much is Yuan Mo's retouching fee?"
Yun Cheng glanced at him and said, "20 taels."
This is a fixed retouching fee before it is released, and it will be supplemented after it is printed and published, depending on the follow-up response.
Those like Yuncheng who can hand in every volume and get 50 taels are the few.
Even Liu Wenbai, who wrote "The Goddess Fu Yaolu", was 20 taels at first, and 100 taels together in the end.
Yun Cheng calculates that he can have 150 taels for a book. From this point of view, if there are no scholars in the family, life is not known how good it will be.
After all, if this little money is spilled, it is enough to buy a few books for Ye Cunshan.
Basic textbooks like "Thirteen Classics" are not expensive, but the other ones are more expensive than the other ones. Even if they are willing to pay for the annotated books, they can't buy them in this remote county.
After Ye Cunshan washed his hands, Yuncheng got up from the table, moved the food to the middle, and served people rice and soup, speaking with a nasal voice, "I told Xiaotian that the snow will not come here, I will cook at home A stew is also fine, and you can also cook dumplings and steam buns.
He and Ye Cunshan change and wash frequently. In this weather, they have to take a bath and wash their hair every now and then. Because there are few people in the family, the cotton clothes outside are not changed every day, so they don't change many clothes.
In addition, the place is not big, and there are only a few places that need to be cleaned every day. The main problem is cooking.
Yuncheng said: "I can still go out to buy, and I will also go out for a stroll recently."
Exercising, exercising, and breathing.
Ye Cunshan heard that his voice was wrong, raised his hand to touch his forehead, but there was no fever.
Yuncheng said: "I have a cold, I drank ginger soup."
This naturally made Ye Cunshan blame himself, he was too late on impulse, and turned the bed a few more times to dissipate the heat.
He was full of fire, and Yuncheng couldn't bear it.
Originally, he wanted to take him to the medical clinic again, but Yuncheng was unwilling to move, because he had been ill for a long time.
Now I just catch a little cold, just stay at home and sweat, but when I go out and see the cold wind, it may be serious.
During the short break at noon, Ye Cunshan told Yuncheng the earthen prescription, and continued to pour hot water to soak his feet, adding ginger slices to it.
The water temperature is much higher than usual for soaking feet. Yuncheng also knows that ancient colds will cause other symptoms if they are not cured for a long time.
Ye Cunshan put wool socks on for him—Yun Cheng wove it himself, his body hadn't recovered well, his hands and feet were cold when he slept, and Ye Cunshan would keep him warm, so he wanted to wear them too.
After sweating, his hair roots were wet, and his voice became hoarse, "How long will I be bored? It's so uncomfortable, my body is sticky."
"When you come back at night, you can talk without a nasal sound."
Just over two hours, converted to about four hours.
Yun Cheng was also sleepy, so he obediently nodded in agreement, and rubbed his face against Ye Cunshan's palm, "Then you go to school."
Ye Cunshan stood by the bed and looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked: "Is Liu Xiaotian not coming this afternoon?"
Yun Chengying said, "It rained heavily last night and the ground was frozen, making it difficult to walk. Now that the snow hasn't accumulated, I'm afraid he might fall on the road."
Ye Cunshan patted his head, "Go to sleep."
He went to the academy again in the afternoon, and he asked for leave.
Their academy is a private school, and the management is not as strict as the official school. Some students avoid the monthly exams at the end of the year. It is normal to ask for leave on weekdays.
Ye Cunshan used to take a one-month break to save money.
After leaving the academy, he went to the medical hall to grab a dose of medicine, and when he came back, Yuncheng had already fallen asleep in a daze, and he put his hands outside, feeling cold to the touch.
Ye Cunshan stuffed him back into the bed and woke him up.
Yun Cheng asked, "Are you out of school?"
Ye Cunshan nodded along with his words, "Yes."
He put away his schoolbag, first went to decoct the medicine, then took off the cold book long gown, and changed into the short cotton padded clothes he was used to wearing. Thinking about Yun Cheng's exquisiteness, he also washed his feet before moving the kang table to place at the end of the bed.
Today, Ye Yan said that the exam was mostly small questions, and Ye Cunshan was going to read more "Four Books" to warm Yuncheng's feet by the way.
The kang table was placed far away, so that he could lean back against the wall, and his legs and feet could be stretched out without being crossed, just enough to nest his legs and feet.
"Wake up and drink another medicine."
Yuncheng didn't seem to be afraid of hardship, and he didn't show any resistance in this drowsy state.
Ye Cunshan scratched the sole of his foot and was kicked.
When the couple was staying at home, Du's study found something.
Buddy Yu is clearing out books that are not selling well in the study and selling outdated vernacular editions to make room for newer vernacular editions.
After these books are cleared, they can be sold at a special price, and then they will be taken away by the merchants as a bonus.
The inside pages have to be checked for fear of damage inside - a book costs one or two taels of silver.
While checking, he found a drawing.
The painting style of the manuscript is very familiar, that is, their family's picture albums that have been popular for a while, and can still be printed now, but they don't earn a few pennies, have the same style.
Boyfriend Yu glanced at it briefly, then looked at it carefully, and was awakened by this sketch for a long time.
When the purchase of their albums was limited and people were waiting to buy them, there were indeed two people wandering around outside the bookstore for a few days.
One thin and one tall.
Buddy Yu looked at the content of the album again, and realized.
It turned out that it was not someone sent by other studies to follow, but someone who took the picture album and resold it.
Look at the small label above: Anti-Scam Guide.
When he got something, he naturally wanted to show it to his father, and his father took this style and sent it to the second young master's house.
The second young master has been focusing on the study recently, so Xueda didn't go to the engraving workshop today, and said that the book will start selling tomorrow before the weather clears.
"Otherwise, if there is a delay, it will be difficult to travel by land and water, and outsiders will steal the seal again."
Shopkeeper Yu said yes, and also asked about the drawing. Du Zhiqiu said, "No one is free in the engraving workshop. I will copy a few copies later to see if Mr. Lu will return to Yu County. Tell him to have fun." , can also bring a copy of the past to Mr. Cheng."
Mr. Cheng wanted to print the picture album. Although this anti-fraud guide is only a piece of paper, let me show you the interesting things behind it.
He sighed, "It would be great if the owner of this sketch would show up. I think the album sells better than the novel."
The painting style of the sketch is novel, but charcoal pencils and inferior paper are easy to find and the cost is low, so some painters can imitate them.
Mr. Cheng didn't speak out to find someone, because he was afraid that someone would take credit for his merits.
Now there are quite a few hipsters and charcoal-drawers out there.
Du Zhiqiu had invited two before, and there was no picture book for others to refer to and copy. The things he drew were not as good as his own hands.
Shopkeeper Yu is also a pity, he even taught his son a lesson.
There are not many customers in the bookstore every day, and it is even rarer to come to stand and read without buying anything.
There are not many people here, so it will be eye-catching to read a few books. If you pay attention a little, you can see who put up the sketches?
They don't publicize it either, they ask for drafts and collaborate in private.
Boyfriend Yu is also reasonable: "Look at what he drew, it was the "yellow cattle" speculation price during the album sales. How could there be few people in those days? The shop can't be crowded! I'm afraid that someone will take other books indiscriminately!"
Having said that, Du Zhiqiu will also hire some strong guards for the sale of the next few volumes of "Zuo Son-in-law" tomorrow.
Shopkeeper Yu has a lot of cooperation with Jinghe Paper Shop, and now their family has added a low-cost paper order to print books for the imperial examination.
Mr. Du is concerned about the students and wants to lower the price from the cost.
The low-priced paper is darker in color, and the eyes are uncomfortable after staring at it for a long time.
But it can be used for writing and writing at ordinary times, and it doesn't matter for reading.
Nothing is perfect.
During the commute, he met Ye Yong and Ye Hu brothers, among other things, the stop there was a wall of people, and no one could touch them.
He recommended it, but Du Zhiqiu had no objection, "You can contact me."
According to the enthusiasm of the short-selling shop a few years ago, they will not close their doors after the next year, and the time will be longer, and people will be invited, at least seven days.
After passing the word back to the village, the two brothers Ye Hu and Ye Yong won the envy of many people.
"There are benefits to being strong."
"My son is also growing strong, why didn't he choose my family?"
Some people wanted to talk to Ye Gen and Ye Wang, grandfather and son, and said that they also wanted to deliver goods in the county and show their faces.
Ye Hu also succeeded in shocking Mr. Jiang because he went to Jiang's paper shop to sprinkle paper money, and got a reward from the paper shop.
Bringing this up together makes everyone sour.
The brothers' family is not sour.
The two daughters-in-law both cooked a few meat dishes for them. There was a lot of pork in the stewed pork vermicelli.There is also a lot of meat in the fried pork, and the clear soup balls are specially made.
The meatballs pinched from pure lean meat are boiled one by one, and the whole meat is not greasy, and it is satisfying to eat.
Someone outside spoke with a sting, "Why are you happy? The last person who was selected as a long-term worker because of his strong looks is still lying at home."
This is Yun Guangzhi.
When he said this, he was sprayed with saliva by the villagers.
For one thing, mentioning the Wang family and the Yun family is bad luck.
Secondly, this is not the same as a long-term worker. They make it clear that they borrow people.
Not even part-time workers, this is not a part-time job, it is to help acquaintances.
Help and get money!
The two of them delivered the goods only once, and now they are about to set off again, and they got orders from two families to carry things.
One is Qingyang's family.His marriage was coming soon, and his grandfather and parents gave Ye Hu some money to send, and asked him to go to the clinic to feel his pulse.
Brother's pregnancy mole is too shallow, it's not good after all.
One leaves everyone.
Ye Da got two packs of low-quality tea, which looked like a big pack, showing how filial the two sons and one daughter-in-law in the county were, and they were light and heavy, without any weight.
He also held his breath in his heart, so he created a family reunion with the village, and the illusion of filial piety by the juniors. Now he is slapping himself in the face, and all his previous efforts have been wasted.
But it's impossible for him to endure.
So he also did face-saving projects, so he used inferior tea oil paper, wrapped two bags of gifts and returned them.
The person receiving the gift was still Ye Hu, "It's so light."
Ye Dan took Ye Cunshan's words and said in a strange way: "Love is so important."
Ye Hu has a happy event today, and he has a straightforward personality, so he doesn't care about Ye Da's small belly. He took the gift and put it under the coir raincoat, and went to the county with his second brother.
The two brothers have strong physiques, and they will get angry when sleeping on the kang in winter. If they are traveling in such weather, they should wear more underwear, and they don't feel that it is hot when they walk.
They were still chatting on the road, saying that they should let the baby at home go to school early.
"Have you heard? The third brother also got a pen-finishing fee, so his books are sold in the study where the two of us are going to work this time."
"Didn't the junior in Liu Tuhu's family get 100 taels before? Do you know how much my third brother got from Sanyue?"
Ye Yong is more simple and honest than Ye Hu, so he won't inquire about these things, so he asked: "How much?"
Ye Hu counted.
Ye Yong guessed: "Ten taels?"
Ye Hu: "You are too unmotivated, what are you doing with ten taels, you can't even buy enough paper!"
Ye Yong smacked his lips, "Could it be 100 taels too?"
Ye Hu nodded, "Yes, it's because they sell well that there are so many."
Liu Dazhi's child will not be born until summer, and now he is thinking about sending the child to study, his family cannot lag behind.
"Let's earn more money this time, and then we can discuss sending the children to the academy for enlightenment."
When they arrived in the county, the two knew that those little dolls who looked to be in their teens were about to start the first imperial examination.
It just dawned on him, no wonder their third brother Xiu Mu didn't come home this time, maybe the hospital exam is not far away.
Thinking about taking this opportunity and sending something to someone.
When they arrived, it was already dark, so they went to the paper shop to fix it overnight, handed over the money given by Qingyang's family to Qingyang, and told him to remember to go to the medical clinic.
When it came time to talk about marriage, Qingyang also showed a shy gesture, and after agreeing, he asked Cunyin what medicine Yun Cheng had taken that night, and if he had any reaction now.
Cunyin said: "My sister-in-law has just passed her filial piety period, and it will take several months to respond."
Qingyang was also surprised, "Are they really so disciplined?"
Cuyin: "Well, my elder brother is a floor shop."
A lie, repeated several times, becomes the truth.
Ye Cunshan, who was "playing the floor", woke up from his husband's bed early the next morning. Yuncheng sweated all night, and then drank the medicine to cure the wind and cold. He was awake in the morning, and his voice was not hoarse.
After hearing from Ye Cunshan that he took a few days off, he quickly got naked under the covers and asked someone to fetch water to wipe his body, "I'm so sick."
Ye Cunshan's hands were itchy, and he really wanted to deal with him.
Why is this person so uneasy, that he will be healed, and that he will relapse?Just take it off.
Yuncheng urged him, "Hurry up, I'll be freezing later."
He also said: "The clothes are all trendy, so you can't do without changing."
The water for wiping the body was also a little hot, and the temperature was just right after the handkerchief passed through the water and then put on the body.
Yun Cheng wanted to wipe it by himself, but Ye Cunshan hated him and said, "I haven't seen where you are? Why hide? What can I do to you in broad daylight?"
As weak as he is, Ye Cunshan didn't dare to touch him anymore.
It will be bad if you catch the wind and cold again.
Yuncheng didn't make sense, "You've seen everything, so I can't be shy?"
Ye Cunshan just didn't understand this.
Yuncheng thought about it again, and asked him if he had to strip naked for inspection when he entered the examination room.
"Well, it's more than that. In summer, we go to touch fish to take a bath, and we just enter the river. There are a lot of people."
Just wear shorts, no one cares about the body.
Yun Cheng yelled at him, "Then have you ever seen a brother or sister who stripped off and went to fish in the river to take a bath?"
Ye Cunshan quickened his movements, after scrubbing his body, he held him down and kissed him for a while.
Someone knocked on the door outside, and Ye Hu's loud voice came in.
"Yun Cheng, I'm Ye Hu, and I'm here to give you a gift!"
At this time, he thought Ye Cunshan was in school.
Ye Cunshan tucked Yuncheng back into the bed, "Warm up first, and I'll change the quilt later."
Then go out and ask who sent it.
When he heard that it was a gift from Ye Da, he didn't even want to accept it.
Ye Hu didn't know what was inside, he just said it was very light, "Your father said that there is a lot of love, you two are so disgusting."
So Ye Cunshan knew that this was not a good thing.
Asking Ye Hu what was inside, Ye Hu said he didn't look at it and didn't ask, "It was already afternoon when I got the news, the weather is bad, we are on our way."
He urged Ye Cunshan to take it quickly, "You can read it yourself, I have to go to the paper shop, his house sells books today, and my second brother and I are going to help maintain that... Look out for some customers!"
The author has something to say:
Scratching my head, because I feel that [-] words is so simple, so I procrastinate. I am sorry for you. I will write the second update after I finish the update. It is expected to change. Don’t wait, everyone. Good night, readers, okay~
See you tomorrow.
