From the end of the world to ancient times with the writer system

Ji Xuanhe collected the accounts. It cost a lot to find relatives before, plus the preparation of workshops, the purchase of stores to open seafood and dry goods stores, and the purchase of new stores. Up to now, the expenditure has reached thousands of taels, and the money in the public account is only from this year. The income, including the money in his private account, is not much in total.

Ji Xuanhe didn't worry about it. In fact, what he really spent was the daily expenses of the Ji Zhai and the cost of finding relatives. The rest was considered an investment. From the day it opened, there was a daily income.With two more businesses, Ji's income will hit a new high this year.In a year or two, Ji Xuanhe only plans to open a dry seafood store in the capital. As for buying a boat to go fishing, this matter must be discussed with Yunchen before making a decision.

Half a month later, Uncle Qiu reported that the old lady had settled down on the house.Ji Xuanhe doesn't care about this matter, Shao Yunchen is in charge.Uncle Qiu rested at home for one night, and rushed back to Kangping County with Shao Yunchen the next day.

The house with a shop and a house that Tian's fancy is located in the West Market, where most of the businesses are for ordinary people, and the price of the shop is not very high.Tian didn't have enough money, so Shao Yunchen helped to pay most of it, and the rest of the money was used by Tian and others to maintain their daily life.The old lady agreed, and when his eldest son came to pay back part of it first, and then pay off the rest after making money.

A few days later, after the backyard of the shop was cleaned and repainted, the old lady and the others moved out of the quarter house.On this day, both Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli were present.

Housewarming is an important day no matter which dynasty or generation it is in. The old lady and the others have no relatives or friends in Kangping County, so they only invited neighbors to warm up the scene.The neighbors are all businessmen, and the new residents invited each other, and they all came to the banquet with gifts.

Those who can open a shop in West Market are mostly considered to have a small family business, and with some status, men and women have to be seated separately.The house is only entered once, and there are not too many people. The male guests eat in the shop, while the female relatives sit in the main room in the backyard.Without the uncle, Pan Hongli was the only person in charge in the Pan family. He entertained the male guests in front, Ji Xuan and Shao Yunchen accompanied them, and Tian Shi greeted the female relatives in the back.

After the excitement, Pan Kee Food Shop chose an auspicious day for its official opening.Most of the neighbors who had attended the Pan's housewarming banquet before came to join in, adding a lot of popularity to Pan's Kee Food Shop.

Due to splitting a complete set of teams into two sets, Panji Food Shop temporarily only does business in the morning and noon, and closes after noon.With the daily income, the old lady and the others are relieved, they can't just sit and eat, can they?

Originally Pan Hongli was supposed to be in charge of the tent, but after he went to Yangjiabu to study with Old Master Zhen, Tian had no choice but to come out and take charge of the situation.The Pan family was once rich, but the Tian family had never shown their faces before. The old lady decided to separate a small room near the yard behind the shop, and the Tian family did accounts in the room.

Qinglan acted as the waiter, reporting the diners' bills to Tian's one by one, and Panji Food Shop slowly got on the right track.

Shao Yunchen told his aunt that if something happened, he would go to Su Yuansu, the shopkeeper of Ji's seafood dry goods store, or he could send a letter to him.Seeing that there was nothing to do, Shao Yunchen got up and went back to the Yangjiabu Ji Residence.

Since Pan Hongli is pursuing his career in learning, he will have to take the county examination in March and the government examination in May next year.The county examination is held once a year, and those who pass the examination are known as Tongsheng.His father, Pan Mingjie, had only passed the government examination, but not the hospital examination, and was only one step away from being a scholar.

No matter whether he is sure or not, Pan Hongli has to try it. He is seventeen this year and will be eighteen next year. At this age, ordinary students will end up early, and Pan Hongli can't afford to delay.

The county test and the government test are linked together. As long as you fail the government test, you have to start from the county test the next year.After passing the government examination, with the title of Tongsheng, there is no need to take the county examination and the government examination. All you need to do is to take the college examination every three years.

It is now August, and there are only seven months until the full year of schooling in March next year. Apart from being led by Ji Xuan and his husband to ride horses for exercise, Pan Hongli has really kept his ears to the outside world, and nothing can disturb him.

The front yard was louder than the back yard, Shao Yunchen originally thought about whether to move him to the back yard, but later saw that he was immersed in the book without being disturbed by the outside world, so he stopped thinking about it.

July and August are the hottest months of the year in Yangjiabu. Ji Xuan and his wife usually use ice basins to keep cool.Thanks to the ancestors of time travel, ice making with saltpeter was spread in the families of rich and noble people in the Jin Dynasty.The sales volume of saltpeter is large, and the price remains high. Generally speaking, the cost is only slightly lower than that of storing ice in a cellar.

In short, saltpeter made ice did not benefit the common people.

It is okay to make ice with saltpeter to enjoy the coolness, but it will cost more to eat it.Ji's house didn't have an ice cellar, so Ji Xuanhe didn't have much money in his hands at the beginning, so he didn't have this kind of thought. Only occasionally, when the heat was unbearable, he asked Qiu Bo to go to Kangping County to buy some.

Now that Ji Xuanhe is rich and free, he thinks about making ice. It is much cheaper to make ice by himself than to buy it from a store.For the master's order, Uncle Qiu did his best to fulfill it. The next morning, Uncle Qiu set off and made a round trip in the middle of the morning.

It is not difficult to make ice with saltpeter. After knowing the method, it is easy to make, but it takes some time and patience.Shao Yunchen's dowry didn't include a prescription for making ice, so he watched it with great interest.

Ji Xuanhe asked Qiu Cheng to take a big basin, fill it with half a basin of water, and then put a small basin in the big basin, also filled with water, and put the saltpeter in the big basin.Look how easy it is!There is only one word for the rest, and that is 'waiting'.

The waiting time is always very long. Qiu Cheng has a more dispassionate temper than Jimo. Before the ice was made, he wandered around several times. Ji Xuanhe was annoyed by him. With a glance over, he was able to survive. .

It's no wonder that Qiu Cheng, not to mention him, even Shao Yunchen felt that the process of water slowly condensing into ice was very strange.Actually, Ji Xuan and himself didn't care as much as he showed.In modern times, even if people are sweating profusely, all they think about is turning on the fan and air conditioner. Who would think about buying saltpeter to make ice to keep cool?Anyway, Ji Xuan and himself have never seen each other in modern times.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Ji Xuanhe told Chi's mother to prepare some fruit juice and semi-finished fruit smoothies. Once the ice is formed, put it in and it will become a top-notch cool off.

There are a lot of fruits that can be eaten in August, and the price is not expensive, so Ji's family always has them.As a personal servant, the food is always better than that of the servants. If the master has any delicious food, as long as there is more, they will always have a share.

Qiu Shuangzhuyi is getting older, and now she is a big girl, Ji Xuanhe has no intention of confiscating the house, and deliberately reduces the time they spend waiting on them.Now most of the time, Qiu Cheng Jimo is the one who waits on him personally, and two people are in charge of night duty.Qiu Shuangzhuyi is more responsible for tidying up the room and doing needlework.

This was Ji Xuanhe's first time making ice, so he was more generous, and the master of Ji's family brought people along, and everyone had a share.Don't underestimate a glass of iced drink or a bowl of fruit smoothie. It will cost you a lot of money to buy it in a store.Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be able to afford ice?

Drinking iced drinks and eating smoothies with an ice basin next to them is really enjoyable.Such a day is not much worse than the previous air-conditioning.

Since then, every one or two days, crepe's mother has to cook mung bean soup.Mung beans themselves have the effect of relieving heat, and the effect is even better after adding ice.

Old Master Zhen is old, Shao Yunchen controls the amount of ice he uses, so as not to get sick because of greed for cold.As for his cousin, he was not left behind either. Next year, his cousin will take the county examination and government examination. As long as the conditions of the Ji family allow it, we will try to provide him with convenience.

Pan Hongli refused at first, thinking that it would cost too much money. He had been here a few years ago, but now he can still live.Shao Yunchen said that he bought it with his own dowry money, so that he could use it at ease, so Pan Hongli reluctantly accepted it, thinking that his cousin treated him like this, so he would try his best to help and take care of it in the future.

Pan Hongli also knew about the Shao family's situation. Shao Yunchen's counting on his uncle's family was better than counting on his father's family.From now on, his family will be his cousin's solid backing. Even if his family is not as good as Ji's family and his cousin is bullied, he has to stand up for his cousin.

Shao Yunchen acted aboveboard, he never thought of avoiding Ji Xuanhe.He is now 15 years old, and spends nearly half of his time with Ji Xuanhe. The two of them had already agreed that Ji Xuanhe would not take concubines. As long as Shao Yunchen treats him as before, there is no need to worry that Ji Xuanhe will move. Do not love.

Similarly, Ji Xuanhe also has a request, that is, he has been unfaithful for a hundred times, don't say he is unfeeling, if this kind of thing happens, as long as everything is true, Ji Xuanhe can abandon the past without blinking an eye, and start a new life .

This requirement is simple and easy to say, but difficult to say.

Jinchao couples often share the same bed with different dreams. In ancient times, the rules for married women and men were so strict, but it was still unavoidable for the lovers to have sex.What Ji Xuanhe wants is not this kind of life, not to mention how harmonious the life of husband and wife is, at least he has to take each other into his heart.

Shao Yunchen did this, and Ji Xuanhe acquiesced.In fact, at first the ice came from Ji's family, but later Shao Yunchen said that the flowers were spent from his own dowry money, so he changed it to get the money from Shao Yunchen.

The scorching summer has little impact on the masters of the Ji family.In the morning, Ji Xuan and his wife and Pan Hongli studied with Old Master Zhen. The four masters put one piece together, and the consumption of the ice basin per capita was not large.In the afternoon, Pan Hongli stayed in the study, and Old Master Zhen either went out to find someone to chat his teeth with, or stayed in the study.Shao Yunchen specially set up a bed in the study for Old Master Zhen, so that Old Master Zhen can take a nap in the study when he is sleepy.Ji Xuan and his husband are tired of being together for a long time, most of the time they share an ice basin.Calculated in this way, Ji's expenditure on household ice is not large.

After the midsummer, soon came the autumn harvest time.

Spring wheat is planted earlier than rice and matures earlier than rice.Ningzhuang and Anzhuang have already made preparations for the autumn harvest. Once Zhang Zhuangtou and Li Zhuangtou have discussed the date of opening the scythe with the host family, the farmers will throw their arms and fight hard.

The autumn tiger is not screaming for nothing, the people who are rushing to harvest in the fields are sweating profusely.At this time, people don't care about complaining. It's better to have a high sun than a long rain.At this time, a single rain can ruin many harvests, and everyone is looking forward to a smooth and stable autumn harvest.

Early in the morning, Shao Yunchen went to inspect Ningzhuang with a straw hat, and Jimo held an umbrella for him behind him.

Farmers squatted in the wheat fields and waved their scythes to harvest crops of spring wheat. Even in long-sleeved shirts, red marks on their faces and hands could not be avoided by the stubble.Unexpectedly, every piece of Chinese food is hard work, which is not the current situation.

Also as a servant of the Ji family, Jimo's life is much better than that of the farmers.He doesn't have to face the loess and his back to the sky, he basically doesn't even have to do rough work, and he can follow the master's class with Old Master Zhen. Except for being involuntary, his life is better than that of ordinary small families.Jimo is already content with his current life.

Shao Yunchen went to see his farmer, and then went to see the tenant.

The fields cultivated by Ji's family are uniformly planned, and the same crops are planted together in large areas.The tenants are not the same, each family cares about their own, and they are not connected.

These tenants have been planting the Ji family's fields since they took up the land, and none of them want to give up the rent and only charge [-]% of the land.Hundreds of acres of land are connected together, and the tenants help each other as long as there is no disagreement. Today I will take over my family, and tomorrow I will take over yours. Everyone helps each other, and the efficiency of the autumn harvest has improved a lot.

The tenant was busy working in the field without any other distractions. He happened to look up and see his owner standing on the ridge of the field. He wanted to stand up and say hello, but Shao Yunchen stopped him.He just came over to take a look and didn't want to disturb them.

This year's harvest is not good, but it is not bad.The villagers of Yangjiabu watched the golden wheat grains dry and put into the warehouse, and laughed so much that they could even see their back molars.

The grain harvest in Kangping County is not bad, but it does not mean that it is the same in other places.The Jin Dynasty had a vast territory, and even in a normal year, there were frequent major and minor disasters in some places.Today is equivalent to the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty, and the affected area will only be larger.

During the autumn harvest in Yangjiabu, the water level of the river dropped a little, which had little effect on the crops, but it could not conceal the fact that there was a lack of rain.

Even Kangping County, which is not short of water, is like this. The situation of those counties that are already short of water will only be more serious, and the reduction of food production is inevitable.

In general, Rentai's 16 years are considered healthy, at least much better than Rentai's 15 years.

Uncle Shao Yunchen arrived in Kangping County just in time for the autumn harvest. Ji Xuan and his wife brought Pan Hongli into the city to welcome Pan Mingjie and his party.

Pan Mingjie looked at the Tian family and the others who were busy in the shop, and nodded slightly, a smile could not help but appear on his weathered face.

He looked through the shop inside and out, and was very satisfied with it.The shop is not too big, but the house behind it can properly accommodate all the Pan family members, and the cost will not be much less.

The shop's business was obviously better than that of Rongjin Town, and Cuihua cooked two side dishes just as he stood there for a while.

When Shao Yunchen saw that his uncle had arrived safely, the last worry in his heart was gone.With his uncle around, he won't have to worry about his natal family in the future, just take care of him occasionally.

Time flies by, and soon it will be another year of winter.

"Xuanhe, how about you going to take the county examination with Hongli next year? It's best if you pass, and there is no loss if you fail, but you just stay in the examination room for a few days." Old Master Zhen had thought about this for a long time. Having said that, it's just that I never had this opportunity before, but now I have Pan Hongli as a role model, so I'd like to persuade him to give it a try.

Ji Xuanhe is not the one who doesn't know what is good or bad. Whether he will go into an official career or not is the second thing. The most important thing is that Jin Chao pays attention to status. He has a good reputation and looks better. When he goes out, others can look up to him.As Old Master Zhen said, for Ji Xuanhe, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

With Ji Xuanhe's promise, Old Master Zhen's beard twitched twice, and he was even more excited about teaching and educating people.When Old Master Zhen came to Ji's house, there were few other things in the salute, but the most books and materials, in addition to the collection of classics and history, there were also examination questions and rubbings of the top answer sheets he had collected over the years.

The exam questions from previous years can only be used as a reference. Mr. Zhen has been to Ji's house for many years, so he doesn't have any exam questions in these years.The exam questions from a few years ago were of little reference value. Mr. Zhen only explained the ideas for solving the questions, and then let them take the excellent articles to figure it out by themselves.

Old Master Zhen knew Ji Xuanhe well, and the focus of his lectures was always on Pan Hongli. For Ji Xuanhe, he did not force him, but only changed the content of the lectures, from the original random to more purposeful.

The arrival of Pan Hongli did not change the way Old Master Zhen taught.At that time, Pan Hongli studied the Four Books and Five Classics with Ji Xuan and his husband in the morning, and when it was his turn to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he would go back to the study to read books most of the time, and study alone with Old Master Zhen in the afternoon.

Now that Ji Xuanhe agreed to take the county examination next year, Old Master Zhen changed the morning class, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting remained the same, the content of the first class was still a subset of classics and history, but the emphasis was different, and it was more inclined to take the imperial examination.

Ji Xuanhe didn't even bother to say anything, and turned a blind eye to Old Master Zhen's little thought, just pretending that he didn't see his little tricks.Thanks to Pan Hongli's kindness, if he was replaced by a narrow-minded person, wouldn't he be secretly annoyed?Not sure what to plant.

It might not be impossible for this kind of thing to happen. Fortunately, Pan Hongli felt that being able to study with Old Master Zhen had already taken advantage of his cousin and husband. How could he ask for more?

Ji Xuanhe's life is still the same, the imperial examination has little influence on him, but it still has some influence after all.He is not a heartless person, Old Master Zhen's small eyes glanced at him from time to time, and Shao Yunchen's occasional smile on this made him realize how important status is in the eyes of Jin Chao people.

Ji Xuanhe is not a real child, he naturally understands the importance of status, but even in the last days, he was just the leader of a ten-man hunting team, he has never tasted the feeling of being in power, Don't be greedy for these.He forgot that this is the Jin Dynasty, not modern times, and there is no equality of all living beings here, this is an era when the power of the king is supreme, and the king and ministers have to die.

That's all, just to satisfy them for a while. He is good at science and engineering, and his achievements in liberal arts are limited. If he works hard like Pan Hongli, he is still expected to pass the Jinshi examination.Don’t think that he is a writer because he is accomplished in literature. He writes novels just because he loves to read novels.

If Ji Xuan and himself had a choice, he would rather take the martial arts exam, but after thinking about it, he gave up this tempting idea.He was the only one who set up the Ji family, and he was gone, leaving Shao Yunchen alone. It is probably difficult to keep this not-so-rich family fortune.There are many members of the Ji family, and the Ji family is not the most prosperous one. Without Ji Xuanhe's protection, there should not be too many people who are jealous of the Ji family.

As long as Ji Xuanhe is alive, no matter whether he is sick or not productive, the Ji government will not allow the clansmen to extend their hands to the Ji family.Once he dies, Jifu won't talk too much about a widowed Sun Junlang. It's still possible to help him once or twice, but who would be willing to care about it seven or eight times?

Pan Hongli buried his head in the sea of ​​books, which made Ji Xuanhe, who was also going to take the imperial examination, very uncomfortable reading it. He put away great resources and didn't use them, but some people couldn't ask for them. He didn't have the nerve to wander around anymore. From time to time, he would take a few lessons from Mr. Zhen, which made Mr. Zhen amused for a long time.

In this way, Ji Xuanhe's idle time will be greatly reduced.His current day schedule is like this, two classes in the morning, dealing with things in the afternoon, and listening to Old Master Zhen’s class when he is free. In the evening, he has to enter the writing system to code words. The number of words is not many, just keep updating one chapter every day. Only two days of rest a week can I take a breather.

Shao Yunchen saw everything in his eyes, and often ordered his mother to stew some supplements for Ji Xuanhe, and took Old Master Zhen and his cousin along with him.It is impossible for Ji's family to eat bird's nest and ginseng every day with this little property.What Shao Yunchen asked Uncle Qiu to search for was mostly high-quality, inexpensive, and nutritious ingredients. The supplements should not be taken randomly. Make up for the faults of people.

Time flies, Rentai February 17th.

The imperial examination is very important. Candidates are required to have an innocent family background, are not the descendants of slaves, and have not committed crimes themselves. They also need to have two county students as guarantors before they are eligible to participate in the imperial examination.

Others are fine, but it is a bit troublesome to ask two sages to be guarantors.Ji Xuanhe and Pan Hongli studied under Old Master Zhen, and had little contact with other students, so where did they get to know some students?

Both Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli's household registrations are in Kangping County, and they have two choices, either take the exam in Kangping County, or go back to Yunzhou Prefecture to take the county exam.It's easy to go back to Yunzhou Mansion, and it's easy to solve the problem of birth protection if the old man Ji comes forward.It's just that Ji Xuanhe didn't want to trouble Mrs. Ji for such a trivial matter.In the eyes of everyone in Jifu, he will hinder them, if he can not appear in front of them, it is better not to appear.

While Ji Xuan was hesitating, Old Master Zhen, who hadn't moved much for several years, made a move.

He asked Uncle Qiu to go to Kangping County to inquire about the character of the students, and he chose two that could catch his eye, and then asked Zhen Shu to hand over the name card.Old Master Zhen didn't do anything, but said that if the two of them were willing to vouch for his two students, then he could give them some advice.

The top few scholars are poor students, and they have a certain amount of food to receive every month.

Old Master Zhen found two students, Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu. Among them, Gu Shengyue was from a good family and had more contacts. When he saw it, he felt unbelievable. It was not until he read the content of the post several times that he was convinced that it was all true.

Mr. Zhen's name is Yingde, a famous Confucian. He was an official in his early years, lost his wife and son in his middle age, and since then he has no intention of official career. He resigned from office and devoted himself to teaching at Langshan Academy in the south of the Yangtze River.Later, when he got older, he thought about returning to his roots, so he returned to his hometown of Kangping County.

It's just that Mr. Zhen has never officially accepted a disciple. I don't know if the two students mentioned in the post have worshiped Mr. Zhen as their teacher?Gu Sheng didn't think about it any more. According to him, he wanted to pay a visit, but it was clearly stated on the post, and he didn't want others to know, so as not to disturb Mr. Zhen's quietness. Time, go to the teahouse to meet up.

Meng Lu's family was poor, and he was not as well-informed as Gu Sheng, so he didn't know the identity of Old Master Zhen in the first place.Those who can be favored by Old Master Zhen must have their own merits.Meng Lu turned the post inside and out, and judging from the tone between the lines, Zhen Yingde should not be an unknown person.He went out to inquire in person, only later did he find out that Old Master Zhen really had a background.

When the appointed day came, Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu entered the private room of the teahouse C, and at this time, Old Master Zhen, with Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli, had already taken their seats in the private room.

Seeing that the two were a little restrained, Old Master Zhen spoke first to break the silence: "Sit down, don't talk about these polites. It seems that the two of you know each other, that would be the best."

"Mr. Zhen, what is said in the post is true?" Gu Shengyue's family background is good, but he is just an ordinary businessman. The family is very happy to have a talent like him. Smoked.

Meng Lu also looked at Old Master Zhen with special eyes, for fear that everything in front of him would become a bubble and dissipate with the wind.His family is looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that he will be able to go to high school. The family has bet all their belongings, but they only count on him to succeed.

"Sit down, don't stand still, the old lady is here, how can she fool you with such a thing. Come on, this is Ji Xuanhe, my second disciple, this is Pan Hongli, he is my registered disciple, you young people Have a good chat." After finishing speaking, Old Master Zhen remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, and hurriedly added, "In the future, if you two encounter problems in learning, you can write it on a piece of paper and hand it to the concierge of Ji Zhai. I have already said hello. , They will accept it, and then you will send someone to pick up the letter every few days."

Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu didn't have any objections after hearing this. When they read the famous post, they knew that Old Master Zhen didn't want to be burdened by his fame, and they would try not to bother him if they could.

Ji Xuanhe was very surprised when he heard Old Master Zhen's words, and slandered in his heart: Is it sure that he won't tear down his platform in front of others?When did he become the disciple of Old Master Zhen?Still a second disciple, this title is a bit subtle.Did Yun Chen become a big disciple, or did Old Master Zhen accept disciples before?

Old Master Zhen didn't know what was going on in Ji Xuanhe's mind, and he didn't want to know, what good things could this little guy have to say?I don't know how to knock him in my heart.

When Pan Hongli heard that Old Master Zhen recognized him as a named disciple, he felt light and light, as if he was stepping on a soft cotton pile.Before they came, old master Zhen gave a general account of his life, he didn't know exactly how great he was, but at least he knew that the masters in Kangping county could not catch up with old master Zhen even if they flattered horses.
