The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 105
Chu Ying waited in the outer hall for a long time, and ate some of the grapes on the table. Seeing that Lu Ming hadn't come yet, she was so greedy that she continued to take a few more, but seeing that they were smaller than before, Chu Ying took them. A small pastry is placed at the bottom, so that the plate of grapes does not look too small.

"How much did you bring this time? Why did it take you so long to come? I'm going to find someone to look for you at your house, but I don't know where your house is, so I can only wait." Lu Ming came back feeling comfortable, Before using toilet paper, Lu Ming felt that there was nothing wrong with using toilet paper to take a shower, but after getting used to toilet paper, Lu Ming never wanted to touch toilet paper again.

"I was sick a few days ago, but the process of making paper has been prepared, but it may take some time to cut the paper. I drew a blueprint here. Look, if craftsmen and blacksmiths can make this It will be much faster to cut the paper after it is done.”

Lu Ming took over Chu Ying's drawing with charcoal. Although it was not very neat, the general idea was understandable. This toilet paper is indeed much smaller than the paper bought in the market, and the paper on the market can be bought back and cut by yourself. But it would be better to cut this toilet paper and sell it.

"Leave it to me. Come here when you have time in a few days. By the way, bring the finished paper. This paper should be called Ruzhi, or it won't be on the table." Lu Ming Seeing that Chu Ying took out quite a lot of paper in the basket, because he didn't know when Chu Ying would come next time, Lu Ming had to save it this time, and couldn't use it for everything.

"Okay." Seeing that Chu Ying didn't move the grapes on the table, Lu Ming originally wanted to send someone to deliver the grapes to Chu Ying, or else Chu Ying wouldn't be able to find this villain after he left. Lu Ming picked up the grapes and saw that there were only a dozen of them on top, and there were cakes piled up underneath, thinking that Chu Ying, a glutton, would not let the grapes go.

Chu Ying exchanged the embroidered pieces for silver and went straight to the blacksmith's shop. She picked up a thin but sharp long knife. Lu Ming didn't know when the paper cutter would be ready, and the sickle at home was not easy to use. , The paper cutting speed is not fast, and this knife cannot save money.

Chu Ying put the 3 coins on the wooden table, "Here's the money." Looking at the blacksmith boss who still didn't look at it, she wrapped the knife in a sackcloth to cover things and went to the cloth shop to buy some coarse cloth.

Ye Qiu's money for making embroidery pieces was once again spent by her prodigal family, so she had to talk to her carefully when she went back. Although the paper has started to be made now, there is no actual profit yet, and Chu Ying is embarrassed to let so much out Lu Ming of the money will pay for the knife again.

"Chu Ying?" Chu Ying looked around when she heard someone calling her, only to see that Yan Yushu was walking slowly leading the horse in a green shirt, but there was no follower beside her.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say you went to Chang'an?" Yan Yushu looked at Chu Ying who had grown a lot taller. Although her small face was still chubby, it was obviously wider than before, and looked more delicate. , but still the same black.

"I'm fine now. I'm back to supervise this year's selection of Xiaolian. I'll come back to have a look. I'll be leaving in a few days. What's the matter with you? Are you going home? I'll see you off." Yan Yushu got on his horse Stretching out her hand to pull Chu Ying, Chu Ying looked up at the handsome young man with fluttering hair and long fingers, Chu Ying couldn't help stretching out her little hand.

"Let's go, show me the local customs along the way." Chu Ying was still a little dazed after being pulled onto the horse, so Yan Yushu galloped the horse. Every time I want to knock Chu Ying down, but fortunately, I have Yan Yushu's big arms holding her.

When they got to the stream, Yan Yushu hugged Chu Ying first, then got off the horse to let the horse rest for a while, took out the water bag for Chu Ying, and watched her holding the rein tightly with her small hands all the way, looking a little nervous.

"Thanks." This water bladder seems to be made of sheepskin. It is better sealed than her own bamboo water bottle, and it can hold more water. Moreover, the stopper is inlaid with silver. It looks low-key and luxurious. Chu Ying touched it for a long time. He held it higher and took a sip.

"How do you like it?"

"No, no, it just looks very special, I haven't seen it before." At least Chu Ying has never seen this sold in the market, and Chu Ying has seen a lot of the evolved version of this water sac.

"Give it to you. I won't need this much when I go back. I haven't thanked you well before. This is a thank you gift." Yan Yushu looked at Chu Ying holding the water bag in her arms and touching it. It took me a long time to say thank you.

"You said you are here to choose Xiaolian? To choose the virtuous and to promote Xiaolian?"

"You still know this?"

Chu Ying doesn't know the details very well, she only read about it in history books, and heard it from Wang Naiyuan, "I don't really know, but this method is not good. I don't know the book when I am a scholar; Cha Xiaolian, my father lives away .”

Yan Yushu looked at Chu Ying holding the water bag and said these things nonchalantly. This is beyond the knowledge and understanding of a child of her age, but she not only knows this method, but also points out the fatal weakness of this method.Although the current electoral system is not good, it has been used for so long and there is no better way to replace it.

Chu Ying looked at Yan Yushu who was looking at her, and touched her small head, as if she said something that shouldn't be said, she waved her hands quickly, "It wasn't me who said it, it was said by a scholar in the village , It is said that some of the scholars recommended are illiterate, and the dutiful son recommended does not live with his father."

Yan Yushu looked at Chu Ying's nervous expression, and thought that at such a young age, she couldn't have imagined it so deeply. "Indeed, there are no low-ranking families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class."

Although Chu Ying looked at Yan Yu's book in a gentle manner, according to what she said to her uncle before, this guy should be a martial artist, so even if she said more to him, there would be no problem, maybe he didn't understand at all. "Actually... you can test some of the Four Books and Five Classics, so that ordinary people have the opportunity to become officials. Small places have rural exams. If you pass the exam, you can go to a big place to let those who are selected to take the exam. You can also let the emperor come to test them. This way at least there is a lot of knowledge. ensure."

Although Chu Ying's words sounded casual like neighbors chatting about family affairs, Yan Yushu's careful interpretation of various meanings made some sense. Although it sounds a little troublesome, it is not a big deal to do such a thing with national power Difficult.

Seeing what Yan Yushu was thinking with her head down, Chu Ying secretly rejoiced that the general didn't understand what she said in words, so she became even more unscrupulous, showing the superiority of modern people who know the past and the present in front of this ancient man.

"Of course, you can also take the test by category. Some candidates can choose by themselves. Some want to contribute to water conservancy, and some want to make some contributions to agriculture. These can be gradually refined later, and they can also be inspected at that time. quality. Although filial piety is very important, but without practicality, only filial piety can't do practical things."

Yan Yushu saw that he had stood up and danced, smiling like a little old man who was talking about how good the harvest was in the field this year, and Chu Ying put his hands together when he was happy, and looked up at the sky in a longing state.

Yan Yushu had always thought that Chu Ying was just a child who could catch animals by adapting to circumstances, but hearing what Chu Ying said today, he was really enlightened. Although his official position was not high, he was still able to pass on this good idea to the People above, if this matter can be done, it must be a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

Looking at Chu Ying who was still shaking her head and immersing herself in her own small world, Yan Yushu didn't know what was in this child's head, she had wisdom and alertness beyond what she should have at her age.
