Quickly travel through the life history of a young couple

"Skin care products, cosmetics?" Shang Mohua was curious when Qin Liuchen said these two terms.

In fact, there were skin care products in ancient China, but they were not called by this name. For example, the closest one now is the Tianhou Ze facial formula used by Queen Zetian.This thing is very particular. It contains motherwort, eggs, flour, and powdered medicine prepared in a certain proportion. It acts like a facial mask.

Qin Liuchen briefly told Shang Mohua this idea. Shang Mohua was particularly talented at this and could figure it out almost instantly.

"It is said that the wine and meat in Zhumen are stinky, and people freeze to death on the road. Even in troubled times, there are still many women from rich families who spend a lot of money. If you can really do it, then I will expand the workshop and recruit more female workers, like What do you think of the current assembly line style of doing things one by one?"

Shang Mohua was indeed very moved after hearing this, and she had some ideas. She didn't expect that Qin Liuchen would think more and more deeply, which made her even more curious, so she agreed on the spot.

"Take this, don't refuse. First, to make these things, you must buy some medicinal materials. They are expensive and you can't pay for them alone. We will include this in the future costs. Secondly, treat it as I’ve given you a deposit, but you can’t just take the thing and look for someone else to cooperate with it.”

Qin Liuchen directly took out five taels of silver and stuffed it into Shang Mohua's hand. As she said, some things were indeed a bit expensive, and this money was considered as early research and development funds.

After Shang Mo accepted it Hua Er, he solemnly said to Qin Liuchen, "No matter what happens in the end, I will definitely give you an explanation, and you will be worthy of your trust in me."

The friendship and career of the two girls were finalized.

Because of the court affairs, everyone in the government and school were discussing it, and even the test questions began to slowly change.And according to the news from Professor He from above, everyone learned that there will be changes in next year's exams. The most important exam in the first half of next year is the college exam. Originally, it was Tie Jing and Mo Yi, poetry and arithmetic.But the proportion of poems and poems is getting smaller and smaller.As Professor He had guessed before, the imperial court now does not need great talents who can recite poems and write poems correctly, but students who can actually solve problems.

The proportion of arithmetic questions began to increase, especially those related to war taxation.For example, how much food and grass do the soldiers and war horses in a city need per day?How long can this amount of food and grass last?When is the most appropriate time to arrange the next delivery of grain and fodder?

For another example, the calculation of local tax revenue and population also requires checking whether the harvested grain has been embezzled.

Chu Bai also felt dizzy when he looked at the various masters who were asking questions in different ways. Sometimes he had to use some modern knowledge to solve these questions, but there are really those kind of scholars in the government schools who can do everything. Just by using the method in Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, people can calculate it in a systematic way.Chu Bai felt at that moment that he should abandon the so-called modern scientific arithmetic.The thing left behind by our ancestors is cattle.

Every time at this time, he would sigh to Qin Liuchen, what would he do if the system was gone?Now even for relatively good arithmetic problems, Chu Bai has to ask the system to give him make-up lessons at night.And I vowed in my heart that I must pass the college exam. If I pass it, I will never take another exam again.

"You were boasting at the time that you wanted me to be the wife of the top scholar when you came back from the exam. After you went to the government school, you said that you would be successful if you passed the exam. Now it's better to just pass the exam and be a scholar. Why is your goal lowered again and again?" When Qin Liuchen heard this, he smiled and asked him.

Chu Bai spread his head in the book and said angrily, "How did I know it was so difficult? I have lived two more lives than them. Even if my brain has not been enlightened by the Buddha, at least I can be flexible. Think about it now, alas, ordinary people are ordinary people after all."

"Okay, okay, if you are a scholar, you will be successful." Qin Liuchen did not intend to put so much pressure on Chu Zi. After all, she had also been tortured by school and exams, so she naturally knew this kind of "pain".

Fortunately, Chu Bai passed last place in this year's government examination.When he saw the list, Chu Bai wanted to cry in his heart. It was not easy for him to be the last one in the exam!

Even Chu Dalang and Chu Erlang felt relieved when they saw this result.The weather is cold and my brother is weak, so he is afraid that the special situation at the end of last year will happen again.Unexpectedly, not only did I get through it safely this time, but I also passed the exam. "When you went out this morning, your sister-in-law said that someone would buy mutton. Today we will go home and eat dumplings stuffed with mutton."

On the way home, Chu Dalang couldn't help talking to his brothers.He felt that his life this year was much better than last year, not to mention that his third brother had a peaceful life this year. He didn't get sick very much, and his body and bones were much stronger than before.

There is also the second brother. Since marrying Shang, he has become much more energetic. Looking up and down, he found that Shang took good care of him.It turned out that it was the time when he had just gotten married to Mr. Chang.Chu Dalang felt that this was the most tiring thing he had ever experienced. The second brother had a cold face all day long, and the third brother was stunned all day long, which made him feel that the burden on this eldest brother was so heavy.As he thought about it, Chu Dalang scolded himself in his mind, what did he want to do with Mrs. Chang on this wonderful day?unlucky!

The Jiangnan area is very wet and cold. After winter, Qin Liuchen asked the Qin family to find some hare skins and make some small things. When he went out, he wore them around his neck to protect his knees, gloves, and even his shoes were covered with leather. , which greatly reduces the invasion of dampness and cold into the body.

After watching the gentlemen return, the concierge quickly notified the kitchen to prepare the dumplings immediately. After they had changed out of their coats, they went directly to the main room.Today is the day they came back from school, which means they have entered the holiday period.

Although Chu's father knew his son's grades in advance, he didn't tell him. He just asked his wife to ask his eldest daughter-in-law to make mutton dumplings today.Mrs. Chu didn't come back to her senses at first, but after thinking about it, she understood Lang Jun's intention. Sure enough, her youngest son came back and told everyone that he did very well in the exam this time. Although he was ranked last, he still passed. .

Although they were eating at two separate tables, the family was still lively, and Mrs. Chu was very happy to see it.

Although when the Shang family married in, at first glance, the dowry was not much and there were no relatives.But I thought about what my eldest daughter-in-law said. Chang had a larger dowry and more relatives than her, but in the end they became enemies.

Lang Jun and the others have all inquired about it. Although this businessman does not have much money, he has a good character. After thinking about it, if the daughter-in-law here is really good, she will not say anything when the Chu family helps her mother's family in the future.

But it has been almost a month since she got married, and she has only gone back to take care of her parents' family twice, which is not a very long time.He didn't take so many things from the Chu family to subsidize his parents' family openly and honestly like the Chang family did later.

I also heard Lang Jun say that Shang's two younger brothers are both talented and academically good, and they can help each other in the future.It doesn't matter if your mother's family is small, it's true that you are capable.

The reason why the King of Chu was so satisfied with Shang Mohua was actually due to the comparison between the Chang family and the Chang family later on, especially what the Chang family did after the gambling incident of the three sons of the Chang family.Her mother-in-law saw it and took it to heart.Until the end, she didn't want to talk about her daughter-in-law. After all, everyone came from the days of daughter-in-law.

But now, Erlang also has a smile on his face. Sometimes the couple just talk to each other, talking about themselves, but they still talk happily.I'm afraid this is just the fate of the two of them.

Shang's greetings to her mother-in-law every morning were unambiguous. Maybe it was because of walking in the streets in the past, but I found that Shang always smiled when he saw others, and he always spoke in a roundabout way, which made people happy.

In addition to staying in his own room and tinkering with bottles and jars, he usually goes to the workshop with Sanlang's wife. I don't know what they are tinkering with, but Dalang's wife smiles and says that the secret must not be leaked.After all, as long as the relationship between the sisters-in-law is good, she can rest assured.
