Chapter 18: The Ancient Peasant Girl 18
The next day, Chen Lin and the others packed the rest of the things and loaded them into the carriage, and then the husband and wife took one and Su's father took one and left Chenjia Village, probably not coming back.
"Reluctant?" In the carriage, Su Chen asked Chen Lin.
"No, a little impatient. Chen Lin shook his head and said.
"It's not good for people to hear you like that. Su Chen shook his head.
"But that's what I thought. Chen Lin also knows that it is unfilial piety to say this in this era.
"Don't talk about it outside in the future. Su Chen just reminded a little.
"Of course, I won't say it in front of outsiders. Chen Lin is not stupid, but Su Chen is very happy when he hears this, because in Chen Lin's eyes, he is not an outsider.
When they arrived at the county seat, they returned to the house they had bought before, freshened up and went to sleep, and the next day they called the housekeeper to inquire about the situation at home and in the store these days.
There is no problem at home, although Zhang Quan is not a big housekeeper, but he is also a second-in-command, and it is very simple to manage a three-entry yard and more than 30 subordinates.
Li Qing, the manager of the shop, and Chen Lin arranged him to the shop after inspecting what they were good at.
Chen Lin is looking at the account book of the store at this time, mainly his own, although Huang Yongxin's store is considered a partnership, but they actually only take dividends, and now they can't buy ready-to-wear clothes, they still buy fabrics and embroidery, but other places have begun to sell dolls.
The method of bookkeeping was taught by Chen Lin before, using modern bookkeeping methods, how to say that she later studied night school in order to have a diploma and took a graduation certificate, and what she studied at that time was accounting, which was not used at that time, but it was used after crossing.
Chen Lin also used Arabic numerals very shamelessly, after all, they are all traversers, why can other people use her, and then, this was learned by Su Chen and Huang Yongxin, Su Chen used Arabic numerals, and Huang Yongxin used bookkeeping methods and numbers, so he also gave Chen Lin 10,000 taels to buy this method.
Chen Lin is not sorry for this kind of method that can be used as a promotion and fortune in the novel, not to mention that Su Chen is just a child now, even if he is admitted to Jinshi, they have no family background, and taking out this kind of thing will only make people covet it, so it is better to exchange money.
After looking at the account book, Chen Lin was still very satisfied, the business of the store had changed from hot at the beginning to scarce later, she didn't think it was strange, after all, she had bought everything she should have bought.
After Chen Lin read it, she took out a few more drawings and dolls, this one was drawn when she was learning needlework at home, the dolls were made by Ye Mei, and she also made a few, she originally wanted to be a sample, but she was taken by Su Chen.
What he meant was, "We have subordinates, where can we let the embroidery of the hostess fall outside." ”
Chen Lin could only give up, and asked Ye Mei to make some more, so that they had a sample for reference, and she didn't need to explain, the first time she taught those people to make dolls, her mouth was about to burst.
"You've got these new styles starting to pop up in the store. She said to Li Qing.
"Okay. Li Qing put the dolls away and took them down.
Chen Lin took the account book and went to the study, the study was Su Chen's, but Chen Lin could also use it, this world is not so harsh on women, at least there is no such thing as not giving the door and wrapping your feet.
Su Chen is not there, he went to the academy to participate in the assessment, he is about to go to the examination house to take the exam, he can no longer do it behind closed doors at home, the academy he went to is Minghuan Academy, which is near the dock.
Because of the geographical location of Panshui County, the students of Minghuan Academy come from all over the world, so the academy is very large, it is said that it is a great Confucian academy established two hundred years ago, after two dynasties produced a lot of famous ministers and famous generals, it is the most famous academy in Chen State.
It is not easy to go to Minghuan Academy to study, you need to have a show of talent and then pass the assessment of the college, and even if you pass the assessment, you can only be an auditor.
The imperial examination system in this world is similar to the ancient Huaguo in Chen Lin's memory, in February of the next year, the Tongsheng Examination and the Fu Examination were successively conducted, and the examination was Tongsheng and Xiucai, and the autumn examination was in August, and the examination was a lifting person, and the Jinshi of the Spring Examination was more in February of the following year, with a time span of two years.
Su Chen didn't expect to be able to take the three yuan exam in a row immediately, but he was preparing to take the exam together in the autumn and three years, and then enter Beijing to take the Jinshi exam three years later, and he is now the last charge.
Chen Lin doesn't know anything about the imperial examination, as long as she does the logistics well, but there are a lot of things that can be done in logistics.
In addition to taking care of the family, there are other things that can be done, such as as as the well-known fact that the environment of the Gongyuan is not good, the room is narrow, and the eating, drinking, and Lazar have to be in it, and those who are not in good health basically can't survive.
In particular, the time of the exam is either February or August, which was quite cold at these two times in ancient times, and in order to prevent cheating, it is forbidden to wear too thick, or only wear leather jackets, and the food must be broken.
Therefore, here Chen Lin wants to find a way, you can try instant noodles, sesame paste, fried rice flour, lotus root flour, etc., originally she was still thinking about oatmeal, but after thinking about the process of cereal, she finally gave up.
In terms of wearing, Chen Lin originally thought of a down jacket, but then she thought about it, although the down jacket is light and thin, but it is actually the same as the padded jacket, there is also a mezzanine, it shouldn't work, she thought of the woolen sweater after thinking about it.
This is actually the distance between two cities from the border pass, it should be okay to buy some wool, go ask tomorrow, she remembers that there were merchants who ran the border pass before and had shops here.
Writing down what she needed to do, she had some forgetfulness and didn't care much about it before, and she couldn't go on like this anymore.
When Su Chen came back in the evening, Chen Lin saw him with a smile on his face, and asked, "It seems that you have passed the assessment?"
"Well, I'll be an auditor tomorrow. Su Chen nodded, sat down beside her, and picked up the account book she was reading, "It seems that there is a lot of money, but it was better a few days ago, and it was worse after that." ”
"Because someone pirated it, so the business is poor, before in the village, I also updated the style, in the city later, you can often update the style, but don't worry. Chen Lin replied that if you want to do this business in ancient times, you can only keep innovating.
"Piracy, that's a good word. When Su Chen heard this, he nodded. "But there are so many of them. ”
"I think, in addition to animals, there can also be plants. Chen Lin is not afraid at all, isn't it just a doll, she doesn't have too many animal cartoons in her head, and she can draw them herself when she runs out.
Su Chen thought about those things for a while, well, except for his wife, probably no one else would think of such a way of painting, then she is unique, so don't worry.
