A little sweet through the fragrant

Chapter 3 Let's make do



Yuncheng frowned in thought, and from the skills he knew, he picked one that met the current requirements for his brother, and said, "I can embroider and make clothes."

I also knit sweaters and scarves, which will shed hair, so I do very little.

Ye Cunshan just nodded.

Poor families can't pull a few pieces of cloth all year round.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he can't even try to embroider clothes without cloth or thread.

Not optimistic about Yuncheng's skills, Ye Cunshan asked again: "What else?"

Yun Cheng has a thin skin and a little emotion on his face. At the moment, he is both embarrassed and ashamed, and his face is blushing.

He can't smell the oily fumes and has watched a lot of food videos, but he doesn't know how to cook.

I have learned two foreign languages, but I can't use them here.

There are no conditions for live broadcasting, writing novels is expensive, and he can't write traditional characters.

In other categories, he has covered a wide range of subjects, knows a lot, has no practice, and only talks on paper.

The two stood on the street, Yun Cheng's head was so low that it was buried in his chest.

If he is like this, unless the big family in the county is also doing charity, they won't accept him.

Before Yuncheng came, he hoped that others would not accept him.

Now I feel anxious instead.

He has no competitiveness at all, and Ye Cunshan can't afford to have him.

Yuncheng took two deep breaths, calmed down and thought about the conventional time travel.

If you don't know how to eat food and don't have a business foundation, then invent and create.

He did think of one.

"I know how to make paper, but I don't..."

Before he finished speaking, someone called Ye Cunshan's name.

"It's really you, what are you doing in the county? Going to class?"

The visitor looked handsome, looked young, dressed as a scholar, wearing a long robe and a turban, and in this season, he was also holding a folding fan.

As he approached, he waved his hands exaggeratedly, "Forget it, Brother Ye said he was short of money, so he didn't come to the academy at the beginning of the month."

Yuncheng had a guess about his identity.

Ye Cunshan is proud, not as thin-skinned as a scholar, he took everything, "Yes, I am so poor that I can't tell the truth, I am not as rich as Brother Du, a piece of Qingshan ink is enough for me to cultivate for two years."

Du Zhichun was taken aback by the praise, he had no sense of crisis, and he couldn't even hear the yin and yang. After he was stunned, he laughed, "I said it earlier, if you are short of money, I can lend you!"

Ye Cunshan turned his hand and pushed Yuncheng in front of him, squeezed his shoulders to comfort him, and smiled at Du Zhichun: "Is this a coincidence? Do you think my fellow countryman looks like a person who can't afford it?"

Yun Cheng: ...

That's too similar.

Thin and hawy, dry.

The jacket was not patched anyway, but it didn't fit well, so I knew it wasn't my clothes at a glance.

There are layers of patches on the indigo trousers underneath, and there are patches on the cloth shoes.

He is fair and clean, but because he is too thin, the almond eyes on his palm-sized face are extraordinarily large.

Now his face is flushed and his eyes are watery.

Du Zhichun couldn't understand Yun Cheng's embarrassment, nor did he understand Ye Cunshan's subtext, so he slapped his folding fan on his palm and came to a conclusion: "What a coincidence, I'm just going to eat, let's go together."

Ye Cunshan: "..."

Seeing his expression, Yun Cheng couldn't help smiling.

Ye Cunshan probably understood that he would take this man back as he brought him, and treated him a lot more casually, not as lukewarm as before.

He squinted at Yuncheng: "Happy, aren't you? You were the one who cried when you came home."

Going home is a small promise for Yuncheng, and he is in a better mood.

Du Zhichun found a restaurant.

As a self-confessed scholar, he was also treating guests. He didn't like street stalls, so he took the two of them into a restaurant.

There are two meat dishes, fried pork with bamboo shoots and steamed crucian carp.

There are two vegetarian dishes, stir-fried lotus root and stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage.

The conversation came back again, and Du Zhichun asked, "What are you doing in the county today? Visiting relatives?"

I couldn't help but glance at Yun Cheng's face, this guy is so handsome.

Ye Cunshan tapped the table with his fingertips to attract Du Zhichun's attention. He didn't poke Yuncheng's sore spot, but said, "His face is too attractive, and his relatives in the village are unreliable. Take him around the county to see if he can find a job."

Du Zhichun stared in surprise: "There are still unreliable relatives? My relatives are very good. They come here to deliver vegetables and eggs from time to time. Soon after the Chinese New Year, they will send pork and live chickens."

Yun Cheng took a sip of tea and almost choked, only one word came to his mind: Versailles.

He looked sideways at Ye Cunshan.

Ye Cunshan's posture was casual, with his forearm resting on the table, and the other hand holding the teacup, showing an envious look at the right time.

Yuncheng took another sip of tea.

In order to keep him in the county, it is really hard for Ye Cunshan.

After Du Zhichun had finished complimenting his relatives, Xiao Er also came to serve the dishes.

When interrupted, he reluctantly answered, "What's your fellow countryman's name? What do you know? Can you read?"

There are some copying jobs in the study, and some poor students will copy books to earn some hard money.

After he finished asking, he shook his head first, "Should be illiterate, there are very few scholars around Yu County that I don't know."

If you really don't know it, then you just learned it indiscriminately. If you don't know a few words, it's hard to be competent.

Yuncheng was speechless, and said silently: "My name is Yuncheng, and I can embroider and make clothes."

Like Ye Cunshan, Du Zhichun didn't take it too seriously.

Women, my brother can sew and embroider, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it can't compare with a serious tailor and embroiderer.

No outsiders are accepted in the tailor shop.

I thought that Du Zhichun had no way out here, but he didn't want to finish the meal, and the two of them had unexpected gains.

Du Zhichun will step on the poor and sore points to show off, and he has really done practical things.

There are some embroidery jobs in tailor shops, which are usually only done by familiar embroiderers.

The Du family has a lot of face in Yu County, and the family's clothes are all made to order in a tailor shop, and they are familiar with people. After making some friends in the past, they got embroidery work for Yuncheng.

Needlework and cloth are available, and Du Zhichun helped to give the deposit.

Yun Cheng was about to pay, but Ye Cunshan held his hand down.

Ye Cunshan: "Next time I go hunting, I will send some mountain goods to your house."

Du Zhichun refused at first, because the stuttering is not bad at home.

Ye Cunshan said again: "You can ask a few classmates to have a small gathering together."

Du Zhichun rolled his eyes and agreed.

Ye Cunshan is a famous person in the academy, he is highly talented, knows how to do things, and has many friends.

If Ye Cunshan sends him mountain goods, he can show off.

So Du Zhichun was also very satisfied with today's meal, and thought about it before they left, "You have to come quickly, I will write an invitation for someone tomorrow."

The benefits belonged to Yun Cheng, and he also solemnly thanked Du Zhichun.

In the afternoon, Ye Cunshan took Yuncheng to the study of Du's family to see if he could copy books and earn a little money.

He used to come here often, and the waiter in the shop still knew him, and he only talked about the old rules.

While the two of them were talking, Yuncheng also looked at the books on the shelf.

Of course, the goal is the storybook and the like.

Recognizing traditional Chinese characters is a very magical ability. When reading a book, you can even guess, and shallow reading is barrier-free.

Writing is lacking arms and legs, and I am used to simplified characters.

Almost as he expected, almost all of them are love stories between poor scholars and rich ladies or official daughters, and there are some types of saving the wind and dust.

Before Ye Cunshan came back, he put the book back to its original place and stood honestly in the corner waiting for him, also thinking about papermaking.

Yuncheng has seen a lot of related videos and books, and he is already familiar with the process and recites it, and he just needs to practice it.

After silently reviewing it, Yuncheng felt that the most difficult step was collecting materials and boiling them.

Without materials, everything is empty talk.

Boiling this point is his own cognitive problem.

There are similar plots in many novels I have read. Boiling an egg is a waste of firewood, and an undercooked egg is a soft-boiled egg.

The other is where to cook.

This matter needs to be discussed with Ye Cunshan.

Ye Cunshan took a book from the study and left, like Yuncheng, with a deposit.

He also bought new paper.

Directly two taels of silver are gone.

Yuncheng touched his chin in a vague way.

Papermaking has a lot to offer.

They both had precious things with them, so the two of them didn't wander around the county much, and went directly to the agreed place to wait for their cousin's ox cart.

Yun Cheng bumped Ye Cunshan's arm, "I'll stay with you tonight, shall I?"

After asking, Yuncheng's ears turned red.

This is different from last night when he closed the door. At that time, he thought that it would be so bad.

Now that he has confirmed that Ye Cunshan is a good person, he will become ambiguous if he says this again.

Not daring to look at Ye Cunshan, Yuncheng looked down at the small puddle on the ground.

Holding the bag of embroidery supplies in both hands, he unconsciously rubbed the coarse cloth with his fingertips.

Ye Cunshan's voice was low, a little hoarse as if he had just woken up, "Do you know what it means to live with me?"

Two young bachelors make a pile.

After they separated, Ye Cunshan could still talk about kissing.

He has studied, and he can continue to take the imperial examination if he is supported.If you don't support him, he is also a strong laborer, able to farm and hunt, and can do all the work outside the house.

Yuncheng is not so easy to marry.

Brother's status is low, and he has no helper in his family.

Those false rumors in the village have been rumored since more than ten years ago, and everyone has taken them seriously.

The reputation itself is not good, and there are not many good ones who come to propose marriage.

Live with another man again, and talk about kissing later, I don't know who I will meet.

Yuncheng still sees this very clearly, "I know."

Ye Cunshan didn't speak, and his eyes fell on the puddle on the ground.

It seems to be thinking about it.

Yuncheng lowered his voice: "Do you have someone you like?"

Ye Cunshan: "No."

Yuncheng asked again: "Are you engaged?"

Ye Cunshan shook his head.

Yun Cheng opened his mouth, didn't have the courage to ask Ye Cunshan what he thought of him, and then shut up and remained silent.

Ye Cunshan said: "Let's make do with it first."

Uncle Ye Liang brought half a carload of things, including oil, salt, melon seeds, sugar, and some small things like hair ties.

He is half a peddler in the village, and when he takes these things back, he can earn a few cents for traveling expenses.

If you are not willing to spend money, just buy it yourself.

It was the same on the return trip, Ye Cunshan and Ye Liang chatted for a while.

Yuncheng didn't listen this time, he didn't want to break up halfway because he couldn't solve the problem, and was thinking about how to make money to support his family.

He has a problem, he is too absorbed in thinking about things, and it is difficult to notice the movement around him.

When they reached the entrance of the village, the two of them came down, and Yun Cheng noticed that the way Ye Liang looked at him had changed.

I ignored him before, looking at him like seeing an invisible person, but now I look at him with amazement.

Yuncheng didn't know what happened on the road, so he smiled politely.

After walking far away, Yuncheng asked Ye Cunshan, "What does he see me for?"

Ye Cunshan: "I'll ask him to tell the patriarch, I'll take you to the family tree tomorrow."

Yun Cheng couldn't hide his smile from the corners of his eyes.

Even though he just crossed paths yesterday and spent only a day with each other in a serious way, he seems to have roots in this strange world.

Married in a big way, and changed the policy several times, and there are not many restrictions on the countryside.

First, go to the government to register, because the road is far away and it is difficult to implement.

Now for the family tree.

It is said that the daughter of the Taishi's family in the capital was abducted, and she could not be found for many years, so this happened.

Yun Cheng was eager to go to the family tree with Ye Cunshan because of this, he didn't want to be sold by his uncle's family.

See whoever you think of.

On the way back, the two detoured for a while, and went to Yuncheng's house to get clothes.

As a result, the door of his house was bustling.

Uncle Yun Renyi and his wife Li Qiuju were there, arguing with a tall and thin woman, and there were many onlookers nearby.

They came back from the outside, and no one found it for the time being.

Yun Cheng grabbed the hem of Ye Cunshan's coat, his whole body was tense, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Otherwise, let's register the genealogy first..."

He was afraid that his uncle's family had sold him first and brought the buyer to see him, but they couldn't find him, so the quarrel broke out.

Ye Cunshan said: "No, it's my stepmother who quarreled with your uncle."

Yun Cheng: "..."

He didn't understand how the two families got together, but suddenly he became less nervous, and even wanted to eat a melon.

Ye Cunshan grabbed some melon seeds from the Yeliang cart, and he shared them with Yuncheng.

"Let's watch the fun too."

Yun Cheng: ...

"Row."

The two women had very loud voices, and after standing for a while, they could hear the whole story clearly.

Chen Jinhua heard that Ye Cunshan and Yuncheng were dating, and it was raining, so she had to go to the county to buy things. She said that Yuncheng must have urged her to be so anxious.

She originally wanted to disturb Huang's matter, and used Yun Cheng's father who had only been buried for a few days, and his body was not cold, to talk about it, and wanted the two of the Yun family to stop Yun Cheng.

As a result, Yun Renyi and Li Qiuju didn't care who Yun Cheng stayed with or when they got married, they only wanted money.

Unfortunately, Chen Jinhua took a 15-year-old daughter to her second marriage, and she was able to wear a wedding dress of three taels of silver.

And Chen Jinhua's daughter got married a while ago, and it is said that she received 18 taels of dowry.

You know, the wealthy businessman the couple contacted only gave 18 taels of silver.

The middleman still takes five taels!

When the two of them came, they were on the united front with Chen Jinhua, and when they waited, they beat him up after thinking about it.

He first scolded Ye Cunshan for wanting to pick up a wife for nothing, and then scolded Chen Jinhua for being a poisonous woman who drove away Ye's son after entering the house for a year.

Chen Jinhua laughed angrily.

The person who has been plotting how to sell his nephew all day long even calls others vicious! ?

This quarrel has been going on for half an hour.

When Yuncheng heard his aunt scolding Ye Cunshan, he couldn't eat this melon anymore.

He asked Ye Cunshan: "What shall we do later?"

Ye Cunshan: "Are you afraid?"

Yuncheng nodded.

Ye Cunshan: "You and I both come from separate families. We live alone. We are the masters of our own house. We get married and divorce. Whether we want to serve wine or not, it has nothing to do with them. If you are in a good mood, the next invitation is not in a good mood. Let's come and accept it." Red envelope."

Yun Cheng didn't know how to answer the words for a moment, but he just felt that what he said made sense.

It was also at this time that they were finally discovered.

Someone shouted: "Ye Cunshan and Brother Cheng are back, both of them are carrying a bag of things!"

The two women who had already quarreled so much that they were about to pull their hair came back to their senses. At the same time, they swept their eyes over and locked on Yun Cheng and Ye Cunshan very precisely.

They also spit out the melon seeds at the same time.

Ye Cunshan outdid Yun Cheng, and he said "Bah".
