I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 254 Stunned

Shen Xiaoye held his little cousin in his arms and took a deep breath, then waved his fist at his uncle and said, "I'm enjoying it."

Shen Changsui reached out to rub her head, met his little nephew's cute big eyes, and with his other hand couldn't help but pinch his little nose.

As a result, the little baby didn't know how to tease and started crying loudly.

The loud sound pierced the sky and caused Mr. Zhao, who was in the school dozens of feet away, to almost drop the egg he was peeling.

The young people from the nearby neighboring family to the west all wanted to cover their ears.

In the early morning in the farmyard, there was a sudden chaos of chickens flying, cats jumping, and people falling to the ground. No one could calm the children down. Finally, the uncle Shen Changshou took the baby out to play, and the evil sound ended.

Grandma Lin saw her youngest son tilting his head and rubbing his ears, so she couldn't help but smile and pat him, saying, "Don't mess with that little monster again.

Hurry and eat. Xiaoye will be loading cotton cloth to the capital soon. The weather is getting cold, so I have to send some clothes to your father."

"I'm not in a hurry. Let me send my uncle to the county town first." Shen Xiaoye was really not in a hurry. Her business was just a dream and it would be even better if it turned out well.

Shen Cungeng brought the pancakes and said, "Sir, he is anxious. He has been asking me about my fourth uncle's condition for two days.

I heard from Brother Shicun that there is news about the Chief Examiner and the Inspector General."

"Then we have to hurry up." Shen Xiaoye quickly took a seat.

Shen Changsui did not waste any time. He took the porridge handed to him by his sister-in-law and drank it.

This time, because they had to look after the calves, the one who accompanied Shen Xiaoye to the capital was no longer her uncle, but the external aid she invited, Qian Zhuangzhuang and Lin Erniu and his mother from Wuli Village.

There were two cars in the group. Shen Xiaoye first sent the uncle and nephew to Wubenzhai, and also met with Mr. Pan to exchange the news she had received.

"This manuscript is much more useful than Xue Xuezheng's previous palace examination essays." Mr. Pan did not find out much information. It was really that Xue Xuezheng was too low-key. He entered the officialdom earlier than him but had never been famous.

With these manuscripts, he was able to get a glimpse into the other party's literary preferences, which was very helpful in guiding Changsui in writing the final Five Classics articles.

"Later, I heard from other sources that Xue Xuezheng was alone and had no relatives around.

I have always kept myself company with poetry and books." Shen Xiaoye was also afraid of being misled.

Mr. Pan put down the manuscript and said, “If he stays in the Imperial College, it means he has not yet gotten out of the predicament.

But the fact that he accepted Your Majesty's appointment shows that he still has passion for the world.

We have finally met an emperor who knows how to use people well, and we are reluctant to give up this opportunity."

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your uncle passed the exam this year, so he can take part in the provincial exam next year.

I will give you a list. You can ask someone to find out their whereabouts. If you can invite one to train Changsui for a year, then the provincial examination will not be a problem.

When it comes to the imperial examination, there is no need to rush to participate. It is just right to concentrate on studying for a few years."

"Sir, you..." Don't you want to teach it yourself?

Mr. Pan took out an envelope and gave it to her, stroking his beard and smiling, “If I teach him, I must break down what he has learned and what he already knows. It would take too much time to start all over again.

Like Geng Ge'er, he is still a rough jade, easier to carve.

Changsui must hurry and pass the exam while His Majesty remembers it. In this way, after entering the Imperial Academy, he can get more opportunities to learn practical work in various departments.

This is all resume, which can reduce the time spent on investigation when you are appointed as an official in the future."

Shen Xiaoye opened the envelope and saw five names listed on it, along with their hometowns, expertise in classics and history, and where they had appeared a year ago. Most importantly, what they liked.

Hiss, this thin piece of paper costs a lot of money. Looking for someone all over the world is not only a matter of talking but also a lot of running around.

Knowledge is always valuable.

She asked, “Are they all here?”

"Hahaha, you are capable enough to invite two of them." Mr. Pan admitted that he could not invite all of them.

Shen Xiaoye put it away and said, "I'll try my best."

She bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir. Thank you for sending Brother Shicun to help sign the pledge for more than 300 cows."

All cattle, whether dairy cattle, beef cattle or cattle for farming, must be registered with the government office, and the county government will issue a red deed after the sale.

She left everything behind and ran to the provincial capital, and her uncle hired someone to take care of the aftermath.

"Go ahead." Mr. Pan really liked the girl's spirit of being serious and daring in doing things.

After Shen Xiaoye took his leave, he did not leave immediately, but went to find his fourth uncle to ask him if he wanted to be his disciple.

Shen Changsui slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, I plan to formally become your disciple when I come back."

But the teacher pushed it into a thick book and postponed it again.

"August 15th, so you can come back in time.

Please help me bring some 4-meter-long rice paper from Beijing, buy a Duan inkstone, a small wolf-hair brush, and some ink.

It would be best if we could find the Duke of Wei's New Book of Soldiers' Bells. ' He set a date and some gifts.

Shen Xiaoye was stunned, "Uncle, I'm still a child."

After saying that, she turned and left without even looking at her beloved uncle.

The little black cat transmitted the message: "Shen Changsui was stunned. He was actually stunned."

"Stop making noise." Shen Changye patted its head. She was sure that her uncle's brain had become rusty after lying down for a few days.

Regardless of whether the military book is credible, a piece of top-quality four-meter-long paper costs more than a hundred taels of silver, which is not easy to buy.

She didn't catch her breath until she walked out of Wubenzhai. She was leading her fat donkey and soon after turning a corner, she happened to meet Miao Dongjia who was walking side by side with others.

The latter took the initiative to greet, "Miss Shen, long time no see.

I just came back from Fujian and heard that you have a group of nice calves. I will definitely pick a few of them someday."

"Mr. Miao, how are you? I'm at your service at any time. You're busy, I'll invite you for tea some other day when I have time." Shen Xiaoye saw that the people around him were well-dressed but not wearing any brocade. They didn't look like scholars, so they must be businessmen.

She understood what Mr. Miao meant. He hadn't come to her house to buy cloth recently because he was not in the north.

No one can rely on one person to survive in business, Shen Xiaoye didn't care.

This little episode did not affect her pace. The next afternoon, a group of four people and two carriages arrived at Lu's residence in Lingchunfang.

Zhuangzhuang and Erniu were dazzled by what they saw along the way. As teenagers, about fourteen or fifteen years old, they were overwhelmed by the prosperity of the capital city.

In order not to appear timid, after entering the city gate, he stopped asking Shen Xiaoye any questions.

Once they entered Lu's residence, they had no time to go out except to take the template back with Xiao Ye.

Three days later, Shen Xiaoye gave the first batch of dyed printed fabrics to Mrs. Zhu for sewing. In less than a day, the red fabric with patterns such as "Success is Coming Soon" printed on the back was made.

Aunt Lin was a little worried: "I can't sell this thing, right?"

Zeyi is also called undergarment, which is equivalent to a vest.

The ancients were reserved. Shen Xiaoye couldn't make outerwear out of fabrics printed with various patterns and sell them.

Therefore, the Zeyi, which can be worn inside and has a metaphorical meaning, became the first choice.

She originally planned to make them into underwear, but her aunt-in-law strongly opposed it, saying that they were too private and that none of them would be sold if they were put in the store.

Unless it can be as lively as the last time when the civilians bought red cloth, the scholars may not be able to accept it.

Shen Xiaoye had no choice but to change her mind. She said, "Let's try to deposit it in various clothing and fabric shops."

She didn't print much, just an experiment.
