Scholar and old attack

"Because the stars are in the sky, you are in my heart."

Jiang Jingyuan stared at Xu Shuizhou affectionately with deep eyes, and his tone was as gentle as moonlight, quiet and seductive, knocking on Xu Shuizhou's heart little by little.

Xu Shuizhou's face was flushed red all of a sudden.

A Yuan, what happened to A Yuan today, why did he become enthusiastic all of a sudden.

Looking at him with his eyes, Xu Shuizhou felt that his whole body was about to be sucked in by Jiang Jingyuan. He seemed to see a scorching fire that wanted to burn his whole body.

"Ahem, let me drink some wine."

Xu Shuizhou hastily picked up a bowl of wine to cover up, and gulped it down.

However, after drinking a bowl of wine, I didn't feel any better. Instead, I felt that my whole body was slightly hot, as if I was drunk.

Xu Shuizhou covered his cheeks with his hands, wondering that the fruit wine was not intoxicating at all, but he felt a little dizzy after drinking a few glasses.

Xu Shuizhou slumped on the chair weakly, and murmured, "A Yuan, I may be a little drunk."

"Ah."

Under the flickering of the candlelight, Xu Shuizhou's tight little face was already blushing so red that it could drip water. Sweet dimples.

Well, kind of goofy and kind of cute.

Jiang Jingyuan wriggled his Adam's apple, suppressed the violent beating in his heart, and drank the last half of the wine in the bowl.

Looking at Xu Shuizhou's intoxicating eyes, they got deeper and deeper, and finally couldn't help but want to fight.

Only then did Jiang Jingyuan stand up, walked to Xu Shuizhou's side, and possessed himself to help him up.

"Ah Zhou, go back to the house and sleep, okay?"

"Sleep, why sleep?" Xu Shuizhou struggled to get up, his eyes were so blurred that he couldn't see clearly after blinking several times.

He lowered his head and sniffed slightly, like a puppy, he smelled the good smell on Jiang Jingyuan's body, and smiled sweetly, "A Yuan, don't sleep, you want to consummate the house."

The string in Jiang Jingyuan's heart was completely plucked by Xu Shui, especially Xu Shuizhou's hands were dishonestly touching him.

Jiang Jingyuan carefully supported him, lowered his head and laughed, maybe when he agreed to get married first, he dug a hole for himself in advance.

He thought he could resist the temptation.

But when the person he likes is lying next to him every day, trying every means to seduce him, can he still bear it?

Jiang Jingyuan picked up Xu Shuizhou who was still groping around him, and let him continue, he was really afraid that he would do something beastly.

Holding Xu Shuizhou crookedly all the way into the bedroom, the door of the bedroom was kicked open by Jiang Jingyuan, finally put him on the bed, Xu Shuizhou leaned on him and refused to get off.

Jiang Jingyuan had no choice but to bow his body and coax him in a low voice, "Ah Zhou, go to sleep, be good."

"No, I want to consummate the house." Xu Shuizhou is like a child who can't stop talking, tightly hugging Jiang Jingyuan's neck, kicking his legs on the bed indiscriminately, complaining all over his blush face, "There is no one who does not consummate the house after getting married, ah Yuan bad."

"Too bad!"

Jiang Jingyuan's head was full of black lines, thinking how to persuade this disobedient child to let go, but Xu Shuizhou stood up.

There was a moist kiss on the lips.

Well, kind of like a dog gnawing.

But this silly boy was not willing to bite, his dark eyes were full of complaints, and his blushing face was close to Jiang Jingyuan's.

The feeling of heat seemed to be contagious, Jiang Jingyuan only felt his brain 'boom' suddenly losing his mind.

Feeling the 'dog gnawing' around his mouth, he turned from defense to offense, closed his eyes, tentatively stretched out the tip of his lips, and attacked a little bit.

Xu Shuizhou seemed defenseless, opening the door and waiting for Jiang Jingyuan.

The fragrance of wine fermented on the lips of the two, making it hard to tell whether it was an illusion or reality, and they just wanted to let the beauty of this moment continue to sink.

Jiang Jingyuan's hand went down unconsciously, and when he touched the belt that he couldn't untie, he woke up suddenly.

Looking at Xu Shuizhou who was still lying on the bed and giggling, Jiang Jingyuan shook his head with a smile.

After carefully covering him with the quilt, Jiang Jingyuan walked out of the room, came to the living room, and took the dishes and chopsticks from the table to the kitchen by the still beating candlelight.

Hit the water and wash it up bit by bit.

However, Jiang Jingyuan's face froze a little bit, even the cold water couldn't wash away the heat in his heart, and the beautiful scene with Xu Shuizhou just now always appeared in his mind.

After cleaning, he walked slowly step by step in the yard under the moonlight, calming down his heart bit by bit, until the hotness in his heart disappeared without a trace, and Jiang Jingyuan went back to his room to sleep.

Looking at Xu Shuizhou who was sleeping soundly in the room, Jiang Jingyuan exhaled, leaned against the pillow, and had a very sweet dream.

The next day, Xu Shuizhou got up and looked at himself lying in the bedroom, patted his head, but couldn't remember how he got back to the room last night.

"Well, you walked back by yourself."

Jiang Jingyuan told a little lie in good faith.

"Oh."

Xu Shuizhou's eyes were deep, and he seemed a little disbelieving, but he still had no doubts.

Jiang Jingyuan didn't care to get up to wash up.

Xu Shuizhou watched him leave the door, then laughed out loud and rolled happily on the bed.

After laughing enough, I got out of bed, put on my shoes, loosened my hair, and happily went to wash up.

The technology of making fruit wine is not very sophisticated, and many people in the village know how to do it. Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou hired two aunts who are good at making wine, and they paid five yuan a month to arrange for them to work in the workshop.

All the workshops are women and men, and the men are arranged to avoid criticism.

Even Jiang Jingyuan, a real store owner, has never set foot on the street of the workshop.

Maybe Xu Shuizhou doesn't care, but that doesn't mean that others don't care. In this era of men and women's defense, some things have to be paid attention to.

Xu Shuizhou fed the horse some grass early in the morning, and after Jiang Jingyuan practiced an stereotyped essay, the two went to borrow a bullock cart with only a few taels of copper money left at home.

Along the village began to pack apricots.

Xu Shuizhou took the cow and came to the door of a farmhouse with apricot trees, cleared his throat and shouted, "Is Auntie at home?"

"exist."

A neatly tidied middle-aged woman came out of the room. When she saw Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou, she shivered subconsciously and asked in a trembling voice, "What's the matter?"

"Auntie, do you sell apricots in your house? We collect apricots for a penny a catty." Xu Shuizhou said with a smile as if he didn't see the aunt's fear.

Jiang Jingyuan also understood that yesterday's impression was 'deep', so he smiled and made a background board beside him.

The combination of kindness and power can make people respect, isn't it?

"Sell, sell, why don't you sell it?" The aunt forgot the fear just now when she heard the money, as if afraid of Xu Shuizhou's repentance, she called out from the house, "The boss and the second family have all come out to pick apricots. The Yuan family has come to collect apricots."

Three or four people rushed out from the house, looking at Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou curiously, and when they saw Jiang Jingyuan, they were subconsciously a little scared.

Fortunately, the joy of being rich dilutes that fear.

He quickly picked the apricots from the apricot tree without delay, Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou helped with the scales, a large scale, and lifted the scale when the basket was full.

One basket weighed more than 30 catties, and three apricot trees contained a total of sixteen baskets. Jiang Jingyuan paid five hundred Wen, which made his aunt's family beam with joy.

Pulling Xu Shuizhou and continuing to ask, "Shuizhou, there are two apricot trees that have only been planted for a few years beside my dry field. They taste a little sour. Do you still accept them?"

It was planted by her when there was a winemaking workshop in the county a few years ago, thinking that it could add a little income to the family a year, but who knew that the fruit was ripe and the workshop was gone.

"Take as much as you want." Xu Shuizhou was full of confidence.

After drinking the mellow fruit wine last night, Xu Shuizhou really wanted to have a sip or two every day, even those he didn't like to drink, let alone those who liked to drink.

At this time of year, only apricots are the cheap fruit to buy, and the apricots spoil quickly, so if you don't hurry up, you may not be able to harvest much.

Anyway, wine doesn't have to taste too good.

My aunt was beaming with joy, this year I don't have to watch the yellow and orange apricots rot in the ground.

There were sixteen baskets on the ox cart, and they couldn't put it down anymore. Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou decided to take Xing to the county first and then come back. They were accompanied by two aunts who could make wine.

"The two aunts are the ones to take care of in the workshop." Jiang Jingyuan treated the two women very respectfully. In ancient times, people who knew a little craftsmanship were worthy of respect.

The two sisters Jiang Lanhua and Jiang Chunhua did not dare to accept Jiang Jingyuan's gift, they waved their hands together, "Master Xiucai, this is not allowed."

Jiang Jingyuan smiled and said, "The two aunts help Jing Yuan with things, and Jing Yuan naturally has to thank him sincerely."

The two sisters Jiang Lanhua and Jiang Chunhua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing Jiang Jingyuan being so talkative.

"Jing Yuan, please tell me, this fruit wine doesn't really make much money. You see, there are a few in our village, and there are also some in other villages. It's just a hard-earned money. You have to think about it."

It wasn't that Jiang Lanhua didn't want to earn this money, but she understood Jiang Jingyuan well. As long as she didn't offend him, she could say anything, but once she offended him, it would be hard to say anything.

Jiang Dazhuang and Jiang Chengzhu were still lying in the cell in the county government office.

So Jiang Lanhua felt that it was better to explain the situation to Jiang Jingyuan, lest he plunge into it and end up blaming the two sisters for not making any money.

"It's okay, Jing Yuan already has a plan in mind, the two aunts just go ahead and do it." Jiang Jingyuan smiled.

"Auntie, don't worry, our family Jing Yuan is not an unreasonable person." Xu Shuizhou also advised beside him.

The two didn't speak at last, and followed Xu Shuizhou into the workshop, while Jiang Jingyuan stopped on the road of Xu Shuizhou's workshop, turned around and went to Ren's house.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Ren's house, he met Ren Quan rushing home.

"Uncle." Jiang Jingyuan called out with a smile.

Ren Quan was startled when he saw Jiang Jingyuan, then looked behind Jiang Jingyuan, and was relieved that he didn't see Xu Shuizhou who would always follow Jiang Jingyuan in the past.

"It's a good thing your husband didn't come with you. I have to take a detour when I see your husband now." Ren Quan explained to Jiang Jingyuan with a wry smile, "Who told your husband to ask me to borrow money every now and then? With a smile on my face, I feel a hairy feeling in my heart."

Jiang Jingyuan still looked at Ren Quan with a smile, and patiently waited for him to finish speaking.

"By the way, what did you come to see me for?" Ren Quan asked after finishing complaining.

Jiang Jingyuan slowly spit out two words with a smile, "Borrow money."

----

……

The air was silent, with a hint of embarrassment. Ren Quan felt that he must have misheard, and asked again, "I didn't hear what you said clearly."

"Borrow money!" Jiang Jingyuan said clearly again.

……

"Aren't you kidding me? I borrowed 1000 taels and it's not enough." Ren Quan only thought that the first and the second were the big ones, and the couple probably took him for a fool.

The more I look at it, the more I feel like it.

"Not enough." Jiang Jingyuan continued to smile.

"The two of you don't join forces to defraud me of money, right? We are a small family, and we don't have gold and silver for you to squander."

Ren Quan's face was slightly taken aback, and he muttered, "I've never seen someone who borrowed money so confidently."

Moreover, their Ren family had just suffered a loss in the industry, and they had to prepare new dyes, so they were not very rich.

Jiang Jingyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile, "Since my uncle doesn't have one, forget it. I suddenly thought of a dyeing method. Maybe I can dye the color a little more noble. Well, the Liu family is pretty good. I heard it's a century-old family."

As Jiang Jingyuan said, he stepped away from Ren Quan, with a hint of meaning in the corner of his eyes.

one two Three.

"and many more!"

Just three steps away, Jiang Jingyuan heard Ren Quan's hasty voice, and stopped in satisfaction.

"That Nephew Jing Yuan." Ren Quan's face was a bit embarrassed, "What are you talking about borrowing money or not? How vulgar, if you have no money, just ask my uncle."

"Yeah." Jiang Jingyuan nodded as if pretending to be Xiaobai, and spread his hands, "I'm not here."

"Let's go, my uncle will bring you some money." Ren Quan pulled Jiang Jingyuan into the gate with an affectionate expression on his face, wishing that Jiang Jingyuan was his own son.

He went into his own room and found out 50 taels from the place where he hid his private money without saying a word, and handed it to Jiang Jingyuan, with an ugly expression on his face, "Um, uh, money is a bit tight recently."

If it had been a few months ago, he would have been able to take out a few thousand taels, but now he really has no money.

"Thank you, uncle." Jiang Jingyuan accepted without disgust, and left the Ren residence with strides.

Ren Quan rubbed his head, thinking about whether he had forgotten something.

When Jiang Jingyuan's back disappeared, he remembered that Jiang Jingyuan hadn't told him the better prescription.

"Wait, where's my recipe?" Ren Quan chased Ren Fu, stopped Jiang Jingyuan who was walking steadily, and asked.

Jiang Jingyuan blinked his eyes and smiled slightly, "Uncle just said that it's too vulgar for Jing Yuan to ask you for money. If you need money, you can just tell uncle. Since it's not a loan, there is no mortgage."

……

It makes sense, but I can't argue with that.

Ren Quan wished he could turn back time, go back and slap himself, talking nonsense.

"Then..." Ren Quan opened his mouth, but he couldn't tell Jiang Jingyuan to give him Fangzi for free.

"Sophora japonica plus alum can dye a very beautiful yellow color." Jiang Jingyuan joked enough and didn't hide it, and said with a smile, "In addition, madder, ginger gold, yam, etc. can be used for dyeing .”

Ren Quan looked at Jiang Jingyuan like a monster.

"Okay, uncle, go and try it out, after all, I have a share of the money you earn." Jiang Jingyuan patted Ren Quan, who was already dumbfounded, and strode away.

Ren Quan chewed on the names Jiang Jingyuan said, and went back to find an old man who had a lot of research on grasses, found out all these grasses, and experimented once.

Ren Quan's eyes became brighter when he saw that the yellow color dyed by Huai Mi and alum still had a tinge of light, and it was difficult for the Ren family to not develop.

He ordered the textile workshop to step up the reeling of the collected silkworms. As soon as the raw silk comes out, the silk will be dyed and then spun, and the color will be more beautiful.

Ren Quan's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he only felt that the Ren family would develop better and better one day under his hands.

When they are rich, Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou don't have to be afraid to buy apricots, and they speed up the pace of harvesting apricots in the village. After all, the fruiting period of apricots is only a few days.

The people taken in in the workshop don't have to be idle like before, a steady stream of apricots are sent to the workshop every day, and everyone works non-stop according to the instructions of the two aunts.

After delivering another car, Xu Shuizhou couldn't walk at all. In the past few days, he had to deliver about ten times to the county every day, and the soles of his feet were bleeding.

Jiang Jingyuan squatted down distressedly to help Xu Shuizhou apply the ointment, and said tentatively, "Why don't we ask someone to help, it's not a solution to keep being tired like this."

Every day at dawn, I have to get up to clean up the house, then go to the river to buy fish, and then go to collect apricots. When I arrive in the county, I have to go to the bookstore to check the situation.

Even hard-working people can't bear such high-intensity labor every day.

"The family has no money." Xu Shuizhou looked sad. If he had money, he wouldn't want to be so tired. The key is that he really has no money. He thought that if he worked harder, he would be able to save more.

"It's okay, I'll figure out a way, you just stay at home and don't go anywhere."

Jiang Jingyuan thought about it for fear that Xu Shuizhou would be disobedient, so he went to the wooden house and called Chen Xiuxiu over.

As expected, Chen Xiuxiu scolded Xu Shuizhou and Jiang Jingyuan sternly.

"You two want money and don't want your life. I only thought that you could make money by collecting apricots. How could you have done so many things behind your back?"

Jiang Jingyuan didn't tell Chen Xiuxiu about these things, and others didn't know clearly, so Chen Xiuxiu was still in the dark.

"Mom, we know we're wrong, calm down." Xu Shuizhou tugged at the corner of Chen Xiuxiu's clothes.

"I still know I'm wrong." Chen Xiuxiu glanced at Xu Shuizhou indifferently, and then scolded Jiang Jingyuan, "And you, you are so kind-hearted, you don't care what those people do, their parents don't care, you alone Outsiders, there is no need for such trouble and effort."

Jiang Jingyuan knew he was wrong, so he pursed his lips and remained silent.

"If you weren't my son, I wouldn't bother to care about you." Chen Xiuxiu cursed a few words, and then she was discouraged. No matter what, she was her own son, and she couldn't beat her to death.

After taking over Xu Shuizhou's ledger and looking at it, he said coldly, "Okay, I'm clear about this, you go and do your work, Shuizhou, take a good rest, if you dare to get out of bed, I'll break your leg."

Xu Shuizhou shrank his neck, why did his mother become more and more sturdy.

Xu Shuizhou's matter was handled by Chen Xiuxiu, and Jiang Jingyuan felt at ease, and went to the bookstore with a burden on his shoulders.

On this day, Miss Gao's maid went to the bookstore and got a wooden box as a gift from the store for free after picking up the scripts exclusively for Miss Gao and Tan Jingyuan's handwritten manuscript.

Miss Gao couldn't wait to read the script after she got it, but she finished it in an hour or two. After reading it, she was still a little unsatisfied, and couldn't put it down with Tan Jingyuan's handwritten manuscript.

Although Tan Jingyuan's handwriting is ordinary, his writing style is good, and even a fragment of a word in the manuscript is enough for Ms. Gao to think about it for a long time.

After she put down the manuscript, she noticed that there was also a beautiful wooden box sent along with it.

"What is this?" Miss Gao asked the maid, pointing to the wooden box.

"It's a gift from the store. They say it's a beauty product called Linglong Ointment." The servant girl replied.

"Linglong ointment?" Miss Gao called softly.

In the script she read just now, it was written that the lady from a wealthy family was extremely ugly, but it was the use of this Linglong ointment that made her skin soft and white, and she stunned everyone at the poetry meeting.

I thought it was an illusion, but I didn't expect it to exist.

Ms. Gao opened the box of Linglong Ointment with excitement, and the first thing she saw was a beautiful card with instructions on how to use Linglong Ointment.

There is also a small spoon under the card, and the inner layer is opened again to reveal the crystal clear paste inside.

That's right, it's colorless and odorless, the paste is like a gel, white and crystal clear, just like the one described in the book.

"Go get me a basin of water." Miss Gao told the servant girl.

After washing my face, I took a little Linglong ointment from a small spoon and applied it on my face, spreading it evenly with my hands, and patting it.

Strictly followed the instructions on the card, and after waiting for a while, Miss Gao touched her smooth cheeks and said pleasantly, "It's true, it's true!"

On the second day, Ms. Gao took the storybook and Linglong ointment to the home of one of her little sisters. The little sister was fine in other places, except that she had a lot of acne on her face.

At first glance, it's a little permeable.

Her little sister has never been out of the house since her face was full of acne, and she is depressed all day long.

Ms. Gao considers herself a loyal friend, so of course she wants to introduce this beauty product to her little sister.

Sure enough, the little sister improved a lot after using Linglong Ointment, and most of it faded on the second day. After seven days, the skin has returned to its original state, but there are still some marks, and it seems to have faded a lot.

I believe it won't take long to fully heal.

While Ms. Gao was very happy for the little sister, she also felt distressed. After thinking about it, she planned to go to the store to ask if Linglong Ointment was for sale.

Of course, there are also a group of her little sisters who are traveling with her. Ever since seeing that little sister's face look better, everyone has been very interested in Linglong Paste.

As long as it's a woman, who doesn't want her skin to be flimsy.

A box of Linglong cream for three taels of silver, these ladies bought it without blinking an eye.

Aside from the cost, a box of Linglong ointment made a net profit of [-] yuan, and most of the capital was spent on the finely crafted wooden box.

In just one day, Jiang Jingyuan made a net profit of 50 taels by relying on Linglong Ointment.

When they returned home with the money on their backs, Xu Shuizhou and Chen Xiuxiu were still sitting by the bed and doing their accounts, calculating where they could save money, wishing they could break one penny into two.

Even He Yuzhu came to visit when he learned that his son was injured, and the three of them were discussing with each other.

Even when Jiang Jingyuan came back, no one noticed.

"If the matter of this fish is pushed back, it will cost a lot of money every day, and there will be no results in a short time."

"No, mother, I have made an appointment with the villagers. If it is broken, the matter of breeding can only be postponed until the next year."

"Then what's the use of spending money like this? Look, you only have five taels of silver left in your account."

Jiang Jingyuan heard them discuss for a long time, then coughed softly, "The matter of Yinzi is settled."

"I borrowed it from my uncle again, and it's not a good idea to keep catching him." Xu Shuizhou blushed when he mentioned this, and now even the members of the Tiger Head Gang detoured when they saw him and Jiang Jingyuan, and they were afraid that they would borrow money suddenly .

Jiang Jingyuan shook his head, denied it, and then took out the money in the bag and put it in front of Xu Shuizhou, "It was earned by Linglong."

"Linglong ointment." Xu Shuizhou's eyes lit up. Isn't this aloe vera gel? Yes, he was so busy that he forgot about it.

"A Yuan is awesome~Bo~"

Xu Shuizhou was so happy that he hugged Jiang Jingyuan's head and kissed him fiercely, completely oblivious to the presence of his two mothers.

Chen Xiuxiu and He Yuzhu: "..."
