Chapter 328: Beauty

The matter of the dyeing workshop will be put aside for the time being, and the problem of too dry skin in winter with soap bathing will be solved.

When making soap, add a certain percentage of glycerin, and find that the effect is very good. Because I have honeysuckle and peppermint essential oil at home, I added honeysuckle essential oil or peppermint essential oil to accidentally make a series of floral-scented moisturizing soaps. Later, due to the increasing number of people using soap and soap, the sales effect was too good, and businessmen from other places often came to buy a large number of them. Erya had to give up the manual work of small fights and set up a mechanical workshop specializing in making soap in the town, which became another pillar industry of the Wang family.

A few days after Erya made a few soaps that were moisturizing and fresh and floral, Director Shi finally returned home accompanied by Li Darttou. Erya and Xiaohu had already received a message from Li Darttou in advance, so they went to the town to wait that day.

Curator Shi knew that everyone wanted to know the details of the situation, so he forced himself to talk about the whole story of this incident.

"When the guard came to pick me up, he was afraid that I would think too much, so he told me directly that it was not a bad thing, so that I didn't have to be afraid, and he took care of me along the way. When I arrived at the emperor's place, when the emperor saw me, he put down the fold he was reading, asked him to announce the sacrificial wine and a few Hanlin scholars, and asked him to take out the manuscript of the enlightenment book I had written for me to read, and asked if I had written it myself. When I look at it, didn't I write an enlightenment book? I hit a spirit, and I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that I had written the words of the offense somewhere. At that time, I was really stupid, thinking that if I really wrote something guilty, it would be a capital crime! Maybe it will affect the children and you. My mind was really empty. I didn't know anything and answered, but I knew that I knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously. Even if you don't know what's wrong. He also kept shouting, 'The emperor forgives his sins!' The emperor forgives the sins! ’! Who knew that the emperor laughed and said: "I thought you were a talented person, but I didn't think that I couldn't even see the reason why I came here?" I knelt down in front of the emperor and did not dare to answer, but waited for the emperor to ask again, and after I had written the book, I replied, 'I wrote it.' ’”

Later, the sacrificial wine and a few scholars also arrived, and the trembling curator was liberated. They wrote an enlightenment book on the history curator. I had a long communication with the librarian, and it can be said that I talked about the dawn on the night of the candle. The emperor's intention was to select two erudite scholars and Shi Changyun who had made achievements in teaching, and these people would compile a more advanced reference book than the enlightenment book. At that time, Director Shi thought that he was a little knowledgeable and was still a commoner. I really can't take on such a big role as an excuse to resign.

Before the emperor summoned Shi Changyun, of course, he already knew very well about his past, and knew that he was telling the truth, not resisting the decree.

Let him, who is not even a person at the moment, edit the reference books that all readers will need to use in the future. Even if you just participate, I'm afraid that there will be criticism. At the beginning, I was excited and wanted to give Shi Changyun the honor of participating in the editing. It's really inappropriate to calm down and think about it now. Fortunately, Shi Changyun was quite sober and took the initiative to resign.

"Later, the emperor finally stopped insisting that I stay in the capital to help compile books, but said that he would make our family's school a government-run school! Oh my God, how dare I ask for that name! Once it is changed to a government-run one, where will there be a place for our children to study, they will not all be allowed to make way for those powerful people. Of course, I'm telling the truth, and I can't accept it. The owner won't blame me, will he? ”

Erya shook her head with a smile: "You did the right thing, if you are named an official academy." Then the school I worked so hard to build will become someone else's. I should thank you for keeping this school for me! It's just that the emperor didn't blame you for not knowing what to do? ”

Curator Shi smiled very proudly: "I knew that the owner and the lady of the owner would not care about such a false name!" I don't know if the emperor is blamed, because I immediately had the audacity to make a request that even the emperor was embarrassed by, and it is estimated that the emperor can't say it even if he is weird! ”

Xiaohu looked very proud and curious when he saw Curator Shi. couldn't help but ask: "What request is even embarrassing to the emperor?" ”

"Hey, hey! Who am I? If you don't mention it, if you mention it, you have to mention it! I didn't have any other requests, so I told the emperor that the orphans adopted by the owner were all from the surrounding counties, and the imperial examination could be registered in our local area. However, the two or three hundred children who came back from other places in the famine were basically from other state capitals. It is not allowed in the examination policy here, and it is not easy to find a recommended talent when you go back to their local exam. So I begged the emperor to allow them to participate in the government and township examinations in our place, until the autumn and spring examinations in the future. ”

Li Dangtou interjected in surprise: "Curator Shi's request is too much!" It is the emperor's grace that you can come back well. You should know that after each candidate is registered, his ancestors are examined for several generations, and those in the family who are not punished for crimes are not allowed to take the imperial examination, whether they are untouchables and are not allowed to take the imperial examination, whether their grandparents have been slaves, and the next three generations are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, etc., and in many cases they are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

Candidates have to take the exam in their hometown to prevent these unexpected situations, and you are making it difficult for you to ask the Holy God so much! ”

Curator Shi was even more proud: "Hehe! Then not only did I come back safely, but the emperor also promised me. The emperor said that he would explain this matter specifically, and when the time comes, we will just sign up according to the local candidates, and the government will do the other audits. There is only one thing, if the government cannot find the information filled in the information, then the person is not allowed to participate in the scientific examination. ”

Erya looked at Curator Shi with a happy face on the side, and couldn't help asking, "What's that!" Director Shi, I feel that you have nothing to catch for us this time? ”

The elder of the Shi Pavilion blushed, he was actually in the prime of life, and it was really unfair to say 'old'. But this is also because the men here like to pretend to be old, for fear that others will say that he is young and unreliable, and has nothing to do with the person who wrote the book.

He was a little ashamed and said, "Not either! The emperor said that after all, I was deprived of my status because of my own fault, and he did not wronged me. It's just that the eternal scientific examination and the three generations of children and grandchildren are not allowed to be officials, and this sentence has passed a little. Therefore, the emperor allowed me to continue the scientific examination, and my family Jingxuan can also participate in the scientific examination. In the future, it will not be a problem for the official to review. Just when everyone was happy for him, Curator Shi sighed again: "It's just that I don't want to participate in the scientific examination now, and the identity of a lifter and a jinshi is not so tempting for me." I still hope to be able to teach here for a long time and be a competent gentleman. ”

Erya took the lead in slapping, and everyone else clapped their hands vigorously with "popping". Erya claps her hands and tears at the same time, for a reader. There is nothing more important than obtaining the status of a lifter and a jinshi. According to Director Shi's knowledge and the current emperor's attention to him, it is not difficult for him to take the Jinshi exam. But he is willing to do it for the sake of the children here. Just give up, and listen to him that means that he plans to hand over his life to this academy. There is no way not to be moved! She slapped her face, pulled Xiaohu to stand up, and the two stood in front of Curator Shi. Give him a deep bow. Erya said to Director Shi with tears in her eyes but with a smile on her face: "Thank you for sacrificing your interests for the sake of the children!" As long as you want. Stay here whenever you want. In the future, as it is now, everything will be in your hands. Until you want to pick a pick! ”

Curator Shi's eyes were red from the stimulation of their sudden slap, and then the owner and his wife suddenly bowed to themselves and said these sensational words. He was a big man who couldn't hold back after all, and tears fell one by one. However, he still didn't forget to refute the lady of the owner: "What the lady of the owner said is so unreasonable, when did I Shi Changyun leave the pick?" ”

Originally, they all followed the red eyes and secretly wiped their tears, but their backhands were burst into laughter when Curator Shi said a word.

Because the news that Director Shi was specially summoned by the emperor, and that his previous punishment was commuted and that he was allowed to participate in the new scientific examination spread, the old and new friends who came to visit him came to the door at once. I just came back and wanted to get ready. Director Shi, who began to teach children, had to be busy dealing with these people. Because these are all here to visit Director Shi. Er Ya and Xiaohu were not easy to interfere with, so they could only watch Curator Shi obviously upset but had to hide the reception of these people.

Fortunately, Shi Jingxuan has been a big housekeeper for so long, and his vision has been qualitatively improved, and with the guidance of the old housekeeper borrowed by the shopkeeper Chen, he has a very imposing demeanor in dealing with people. Therefore, every time when he was not busy, he would receive these visitors on behalf of Director Shi. Etiquette, conversation, eating, drinking and hospitality are all done without impecdote, and those people can't say anything unreasonable about Shi Changyun letting his son receive them. They came so far that nine out of ten times they couldn't see Shi Changyun, and gradually reduced their contacts until they finally stopped coming.

When it was time for spring plowing and sowing, the couple took the time to inspect several fields at home.

A group of dry land in Liujialing, water conservancy projects have been completed. The waterways, dams, and reservoirs originally designed by the layman are still preserved, and they also inserted two rows of weeping willows very neatly on both banks. Although the willow has just been plugged in and has not yet been draped in green, there are living things on both sides, which seem to make people feel happy and cheerful.

At the highest point of the dry land, they dug a large ditch as wide and deep as a dam at the behest of the watermill master, and extended to the border of the land at both ends. The middle of the big ditch is connected with the longitudinal dam originally designed by Erya, and the upper and lower gates are built at the junction, when there is too much water in the ditch and the water needs to be released, the upper gate is released, and the two gates are usually closed.

Every one zhang wide on the shore facing downstream, there will be a small ditch that extends longitudinally downward. These small ditches are very narrow and shallow, and only after the water in the big ditches reaches a certain position can water flow into these small ditches, and then the water in this ditch can provide irrigation to the left and right sides of the land.

A bamboo river in the air made of thick bamboo, stretching from the river in the middle reaches to the big ditch at the highest point, the water also keeps flowing out of the bamboo and falling into the big ditch. The tall and big Ferris wheel in the river is constantly rotating and transporting the river water to the air with a small bucket fixed on the outer ring, and when the water is poured out, it is illuminated by the sun, and the whole scenery is so wonderful that it does not look like a painting in the world.
