The morning sun shone through the bamboo leaves into the house, the light and shadow were mottled, and the sound of the sandalwood board rang eight times not far away.
Yun Yan turned over and sat up, wiping her eyes. After a while, he got up and saw that Little Treasure was still asleep next to him, so he put on his clothes and went to the kitchen to put down the dough.
At this time, it was already the fifth year after Yun Yan returned to travel, and he was almost eight years old.
Zheng Ping had already gone to take care of the children's residences, where they made meals.
Yunyan returned three bowls of noodle soup, which contained egg droplets and a few pieces of vegetables, and brought it to the hall. Only then did she knock on Shuangyi's door. After hearing Shuangyi's answer, she went back to her room and pushed Xiaobao away. Wake up and help him get dressed together.
Xiaobao's clothes were all dressed, but he was still awake, so he hung on Yun Yanhui and went out.
The three of them washed up near the water tank side by side, and then went to the table to eat noodle soup.
Shuang Yi took two bites, suddenly thought of something, and said to Yun Yan, "Brother Yan, my coat was torn yesterday, can you mend it for me?"
"...You take it easy, do you look good with so many repairs?" Yun Yanhui replied helplessly.
Shuang Yi blushed in response.
Yun Yan wanted to cry without tears, how did that shy little loli become like this... Oh no, she's still shy, but her appearance is a bit strange. In the past two years, Zheng Ping would cut new clothes, but Yun Yan came back to do the sewing and mending work.
Because as Shuangyi learns kesi and embroidery more and more days, everyone finds that Shuangyi does not have this talent at all, and she can't learn kesi and embroidery. Rice is also an idiot.
She seems to be born in the wrong place, but she is better at dancing with knives and guns, and learning from the monks in the temple all day long.
Yun Yanhui had no choice but to go into battle by himself and share this part of the housework. There was no other way. They were not at ease if Shuangyi came to help with sewing and cooking.
After breakfast, Yunyan returned to wash dishes with Xiaobao.
Shuang Yi went to feed the chickens.
They circled the bamboo forest outside the house and raised chickens inside. Yun Yan returned to the idea. They were responsible for the daily sales, and they kept the money for their own pockets.
Shuangyi uses a bamboo pole to pick up feed to feed the chickens. These chickens have long been accustomed to flapping their wings to eat the feed. In this way, if you exercise like this every day, and eat the insects in the bamboo forest, the meat of these free-range chickens will be particularly delicious.
Just feeding a chicken, Shuang Yi was still poking around with a bamboo pole, as if he was using a gun and stick, he really did not forget to practice the exercises all the time.
After Yun Yanhui and Xiaobao washed the dishes over there, they took pen, ink, paper and inkstone to practice calligraphy.
Yun Yan recalled that it was Zheng Ping who gave him the opportunity to study. Later, Zheng Ping also spent money to send him to the master to study, but Yun Yan recalled that after a year of studying and understood the imperial examination, he did not want to go this way at all.
Yun Yan thought back to the fact that he had a good reputation, and tax avoidance was better. As a result, he found that he had studied for so many years before, and his grades were not bad, but in ancient times, he almost doubted his life. It was too difficult. !
Studying is very difficult, and it is even more difficult to take the exam. Maybe it will take decades to pass the exam. Yun Yanhui feels that he is really helpless about the ancient scriptures, and he is not as hard as other people in ancient times.
So, Yun Yanhui asked to drop out of school, and his master was surprised, because Yun Yanhui was the fastest student of the same age.
He didn't know that this was because Yun Yanhui was an adult, and of course he was more powerful than a child, but he knew in advance the homework that he would face in the future.
This is what Yun Yanhui thinks. With his stereotyped thinking and three views, even if he spends all his time trying to make a name for himself, what's the use? Who can compare? This is the Song Dynasty, dear, Tang poetry and Song poetry, the two dynasties in history are definitely not short of talents!
The poets are running everywhere, and there are as many talents as dogs.
Besides, after wearing it for a thousand years, is it just for reading? Just live comfortably!
It took Yun Yanhui a lot of time to convince Zheng Ping that she was able to drop out of school. Fortunately, Zheng Ping had no obsession with fame or anything. She even thought that Yun Yanhui might have inherited her deceased husband's hobby and was more interested in doing business.
Moreover, after Yunyan dropped out of school, he would still buy books to read, just some books he was interested in, orthodox books, but there was no pressure to study.
Later, when Xiaobao got old, Zheng Ping also gave it to Kaimeng, and then Yunyan returned to read and read together.
Xiaobao also went to study with the father and son that Yun Yanhui was with back then, but he persisted a little longer than Yun Yanhui, two years, and then refused to read, and came back to study by himself with Yun Yanhui.
Zheng Ping also asked, Xiaobao doesn't want to do business or something, because he has been close to Liran over the past few years, and he wants to learn medical skills from Liran. So, now I often go to Ran to study medicine.
Yun Yanhui agrees with Xiaobao very much. Dropping out of school does not mean that he has stopped studying. On the contrary, he will learn more things in order to grow up on the road of studying medicine in the future.
After Yunyan finished practicing the calligraphy, she told Xiaobao to continue watching, and went out with a small bag.
…
Today coincides with the fifteenth day, and it is another day for the temple fair of Wanxing in Daxiangguo Temple.
On the way back, Yunyan greeted the monks he saw and the businessmen he knew, and he walked around the temple familiarly.
When a monk sees Yun Yanhui, in addition to saying hello, those who are familiar with him will also make a half-truth joke: "Brother Yan, when will you take refuge?"
Everyone in Daxiangguo Temple knows that this is the favorite disciple of Zen Master Dao Ran.
Yun Yanhui could only cover his face silently. Over the years, if he hadn't been firm, everyone would have taken him seriously as a little monk, okay? In this way, some people think that he is also a reserve monk now.
Arriving at the front door, Yun Yan looked back and patrolled the crowd, and found her target, a Hu businessman.
This Hu businessman came here for half a month, set up a stall for half a month, and the goods he brought are almost sold out, which means that he is about to return. Before leaving, we will also wholesale some Central Plains goods.
Yun Yan went back to his stall, and Hu Shang asked in Mandarin with an accent, "Xiao Langjun, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I want to ask the boss if you are interested in Kesi?" Yun Yanhui asked in a low voice.
Hu Shang's eyes flickered. Kesi, the price of silk has been getting higher and higher in Bianliang in recent years, especially excellent works, not to mention that in his country, exquisite embroidery from Bianliang is very popular, and can often be sell high.
But Kesi, because it takes a lot of effort, is in short supply even in Bianliang, and there are not enough people to supply it.
Yun Yanhui opened the bag and showed it to Hu Shang.
Hu Shang's eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out his finger excitedly, "Sell it to me!!"
…
Yun Yan counted the coins back and stuffed them into her arms.
In recent years, Zheng Ping will also slowly make some Kesi in addition to her formal work. The progress is relatively slow, but there is always one piece of work a year, which is enough to cover the rent and daily life in Daxiangguo Temple, and there are still savings to be made. save.
Because of the blockade of her parents' family, she couldn't sell it in Bianliang, so she thought of a way to secretly sell it to Hu Shang who was leaving Bianliang, and it was sold in such a way that the stall was not rented, so as not to be found out doing this business.
Yun Yanhui calmly walked around the temple fair with money in his hands. It wasn't that he trusted the morals of the people of this age, but that he had been here and there in the past few years, based on his experience in modern times. , know how to communicate with people.
The teacher who brought Yun Yan back at the beginning was in charge of the public opinion work in the government propaganda department. The most common thing he did was to get acquainted with the local media that he had never met before in the shortest time when there was an incident, and then started work.
Yun Yan came back to him and learned a lot. Moreover, although Yun Yanhui is young now, he is always with Liran, and it is easy to win the trust of others here. It can be said that even if an ignorant outsider stole the money, he would have to spit it out before leaving the Daxiangguo Temple.
When Yunyan walked back to the "pet market" in Dasanmen, she caught a glimpse of an animal in a cage. She was stunned at the time, and took a while to wipe her eyes to make sure she was right.
Before he walked there, he looked at the black and white hairballs in the cage, dumbfounded, "This, this is not..."
