Practicing calligraphy is not an overnight thing, Su Yu said that, but in her heart she wrote down the practice of calligraphy seriously, and since then, she has practiced calligraphy for an hour more than before. Practicing calligraphy is calm, Su Yu gradually got used to this, I have to say, after practicing calligraphy for a long time, Su Yu's eyebrows also have a calm atmosphere.

Half a year later, Su Yu's words could be seen, and in Fang Ce's words, he had a little aura.

At this time, the academy had already been completed.

Su Yu looked at the little radish heads in front of him, and suppressed the thoughts of the 'test paper', well, it will take two years, wait for the children to be older. Yes, the students who are enrolled now are all children, the youngest is only five years old, and the oldest is only ten years old, Xiaobao and Gao Ping are among them, and even the stones have been pulled in, although he has learned calligraphy, but it is barely out of the blind Cheng Dù, since there is a academy, now that they are young, it is always good to read more.

Shi was reluctant to go to school, because he felt comfortable staying at home, but later his friends all went to school, and even Master Xu received an errand in the academy, he was alone, and it was boring.

Speaking of which, Fang Ce invited Master Xu to go to the academy to ride and shoot masters, speaking of which, in addition to lameness, Master Xu's ability to ride horses and shoot arrows is really powerful.

Su Yu told some stories about powerful generals in Shishi's ear, especially about the importance of resourcefulness, Shishi listened, thoughtful, and after a day, he took the initiative to find Su Yu and said that he wanted to go to school.

The academy is called Anding Academy, and the name of the county is very memorable.

Because the academy is newly built, it is not very famous, most of the children enrolled in the school are children of ordinary families, there are not many rich and noble families in Xinanding County, and most of the people who used to be a little powerful have moved away, such as the Chen family, such as the Du family.

If you have a little money, you will hire a master alone and teach it at home.

The reconstruction of the new county was on the right track, and Fang Ce took an hour out every day to teach at the academy, and after the people in the county heard about it, the number of children in the academy suddenly doubled.

Some of them are learned, and some want to have a relationship with Xinzhi County, anyway, this time, there are almost 100 children in the academy, and for a while, the school was packed, and Fang Ce couldn't cry a little, so he had to open an extra class.

But in this way, there are not enough gentlemen to teach.

Fang Ce began to get busy with recruiting teachers again.

At this time, Su Yu was holding the peeled mussel with a look of surprise.

There are pearls in the mussels, she took out ten mussels from the mussels she raised, cut them and looked, at least seven of them had pearls, and the use of mussels to raise pearls has already worked! Because it has only been raised for a year, the pearls are not large, but there are a lot of pearls in a mussel, so this thing is successful!

The corners of Su Yu's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he couldn't suppress it.

She put away the seven mussels with pearls, and then hurried to the academy, she went to find Fang Ce, this thing is done, I have to talk to my partner.

When Su Yu found Fang Ce, Fang Ce was correcting homework, that's right, the homework was the children's, this was still proposed by Su Zhu, in addition to endorsing and practicing big characters, he also left classwork and extracurricular homework, Su Yu only opened his mouth, and Fang Ce understood what she meant. The content of this homework was all written by Fang Ce and the gentlemen in the academy, and it was difficult and easy.

Those students, every time they go to class, are always frightened, compared with homework, memorizing has become an extremely simple thing.

Especially the stone, every time the homework can not be completed, and then I thought of a crooked trick, copying the homework, but this stupid boy even copied other people's names, which made Mr. angry, and then he was hit by the board, and the stone no longer dared to copy, and then he still honestly started to do his homework.

Of course, most of them won't, but now that he's learned to be smart, he'll take his homework to ask Xiaobao.

In the academy, Xiaobaoyan Gaoping's grades are ranked first, and the homework is completed on time, and the words on it are very neat.

Su Yu found Fang Ce, gasped and said, "The thing is out, you come with me." ”

Fang Ce didn't understand for a while: "What is it?" ”

Su Yu's eyes were extremely bright and said, "Pearl." There was no one around, Su Yu said it directly.

Fang Ce stood up in shock: "So fast? He thought that it would take two years, but he didn't expect it, but in just one year, this thing came out.

If that's the case, it's a huge profit.

Su Yu lowered his voice and said, "Yes, let's take a look." Su Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The time is a bit short, the pearl is not big, now that it is sold, the profit is a little thinner, I will build yì for another year." ”

Fang Ce put down the matter at hand, and went to the place where the mussels were raised except for Su Yu.

Su Yu took out the mussels that Su Yu put in, she pulled out the pearls inside one by one, and then pointed to the other three dead mussels and said, "These seven are good, and the other three are not producing pearls." ”

There are dozens of miles of pearls in a mussel.

Fang Ce picked up a pearl and looked at it, the color of the pearl was excellent, and among these dozens of pearls, he could pick out a dozen of them that were about the same size, if they were strung into a necklace, the profit would be considerable.

The remaining irregularly shaped pearls can be ground into pearl powder, or edible, or applied externally, which is excellent.

Fang Ce clenched the pearl and looked up at Su Yu: "It's really raised, you're really amazing." This was the first time Fang Ce had generously praised Su Yu.

The smile on Su Yu's face became brighter and brighter, "I didn't expect it to succeed so quickly." ”

Fang Strategy raised his eyebrows slightly: "I didn't think about success, will I find someone to cooperate?" "That's a bit false.

The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled: "I knew I would definitely be able to get it, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth." In this way, the rest of the mussels are in a similar situation, let's keep them for another two years, so that the pearls will be the size of a thumb. ”

After Su Yu finished speaking, he twisted his eyebrows slightly: "Yuan Huan has no news over there, what about Qin Xuan, you brought the letter home, is there a reply at home, what about Qin Xuanren?" ”

Fang Ce shook his head, his face heavy: "Maybe something happened, my family wrote back that Qin Xuan was left behind by them, and it seems that there are other arrangements." He believed it at first, but" He believed it at first, but later, he found a problem, even if there were other arrangements, why couldn't Qin Xuan even reply to a letter?

Either he is not in Beijing, or he is not free to move, or Qin Xuan has chosen another master.

The third one is a little unlikely, Qin Xuan's body deed is still in his hands, how can he leave without permission, but he can't contact Qin Xuan, which is particularly strange.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with Lord Yuan?

Fang Ce kept these speculations in his heart, and did not tell Su Yu that he had sent a letter to the Yuan Mansion, but the letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, so he became more and more convinced that Lord Yuan might not be in the capital.

What is strange is that there is no news in Beijing that Lord Yuan led an errand out of Beijing.

Su Yu's face was not very good-looking: "Then what about our pearls, or let's wait for another two years, if there is no reply from Yuan Huan, let's sell it quietly and find another backer." ”

Fang Ce said, "Then let's wait." He had a hunch that something big seemed to happen in the past two years, and the atmosphere in Beijing was quite strange, which was one of the reasons why he was willing to leave the court.

After saying a few words, Su Yu suddenly shook his head, and when Fang Ce looked at it, Su Yu laughed: "It's me who wants to do it, I have silver in my hand now, and I don't have to care about how much I earn, anyway, it's enough to spend in this life." Leave the pearl aside, why should I hang myself on the pearl? ”

Fang Ce said: "The area south of the Yangtze River is rich, when the pearls are ready, let's go over there and sell some in bulk, which will not attract attention." ”

After he finished speaking, he said, "You, you're still too careful. ”

Su Yu looked at the pearls scattered on the table, looked up and said to Fang Ce: "You pick half of it, give me the rest, as for the other mussels, let's not move, keep them for the time being, the pearls are too small, let's wait for them to grow up and sell them." ”

Fang Ce nodded and said, "That's it." ”

Fang Ce picked twenty of the same size, he found someone to string them, and then sent them to Beijing, this string of pearls was his birthday gift to his mother, it was not very valuable, and it was also a heart.

He didn't ask for the rest of the pearls, he said something like this: "I only moved my mouth, and you are doing all the mussel raising things, so you should take these things." ”

Su Yu glanced at him a few times to make sure that he really didn't want it, so he took all the remaining pearls. She thought about it, and strung it together to make a bracelet or necklace, and the oval one was ground into powder with an irregular one for her own use.

After this time, Su Yu secretly expanded the scale of breeding, this time, she was in charge of management, and the rest was handed over to those pearl people or subordinates to do, all of them signed a death contract, and it was a completely closed environment, not afraid of them leaking out.

Except for Su Yu and Fang Ce, the others didn't know about the pearl.

Anyway, the mussels have to be raised for another two years, Su Yu has to watch, she can't leave Anding County, and the matter of convenient cotton has been handed over to Ye Sanniang, in the past six months, Ye Sanniang is no longer the weak character she used to be, she seems to have changed as a person, she does things a lot more quickly, and the whole person is very confident, every time she sees her, she is full of energy.

Ye Sanniang was very careful, she watched the goods, Su Yu was very relieved, Ye Sanniang could be a big responsibility, and Su Yu was not stingy when she gave money. There is also Mother-in-law Cheng and sister-in-law Cheng, who became Ye Sanniang's right-hand man, and Mother-in-law Cheng also recognized one of Ye Sanniang's two apprentices as a goddaughter, saying that she would be a goddaughter and would support her in the future.

Mother-in-law Cheng treats that apprentice very well, and that apprentice is also a motivated person, this has not been a year yet, and she has learned Ye Sanniang's three-point ability, speaking of which, it is already amazing.

The other apprentice became the goddaughter of the sister-in-law.

The honesty of Cheng's mother-in-law, the cleverness of the sister-in-law, after raising it, the little face is not bad.

After recognizing their relatives, these two little heads changed their names, one followed Cheng's mother-in-law's surname and was called Chengxiang, and the other followed the sister-in-law's surname and called Xingxiu.

The deed of sale of these two people is in Su Yu's hands, whether they recognize their relatives or not, they are always from the Su family, and this matter became that the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law greeted Su Yu before admitting their relatives, and Su Yu saw that these two people were pitiful, so they agreed.

Cheng's mother-in-law also mentioned that she wanted to pay money to buy Cheng Xiang's deed of sale, and her sister-in-law also had this idea, Su Yu rejected them, and said: "I bought the people, and they came to learn the craft to make money for me, and now they have learned a little bit of ability and can do things, and now I will return the deed to them, wouldn't it be a great loss for me?" ”

Business belongs to business, and favors belong to favors, which are two different things.

The sister-in-law said in a low voice: "Miss Su, but they have done something for you, can't this be offset?" ”

Su Yu looked at her calmly.

Mother-in-law Cheng was a little surprised, she didn't get to the punishment of her sister-in-law to be able to say such a thing, who told her this? Could it be that she thinks that those girls who have signed a deed of sale will be grateful to the master's family? It doesn't make sense!

The reason why Granny Cheng came to talk about this was just that she felt that Xiang'er was a little pitiful, she wanted to help the child get rid of slavery, and marry a good family in the future.

As for the other, Xing Xiu, that child is a little too clever, although his mouth is sweet, but his eyes are always rolling, as if he is calculating people, she has long seen through it at her age, she likes children who do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Seeing that the sister-in-law still wanted to speak, Mother-in-law Cheng quietly touched the sister-in-law with her elbow.

Su Yu glanced at her sister-in-law and asked, "Aunt Xing has something to say, I'll listen." ”

The sister-in-law was hit by Granny Cheng, and she didn't want to say any more, but when she heard Su Yu's words, she couldn't help but say it: "Girl, the silver in your hand is not small, and Xiu'er is also a pitiful child, so you can raise your hand and let her go." ”

"You say this as if I was abusing her." Su Yu's eyes had already turned cold, she glanced at Granny Cheng again, speaking of which, she was still too soft-hearted, otherwise, she would not have brought these two over.

Before he finished speaking, a figure rushed out and knelt down in front of Su Yu: "Miss, don't blame your mother, blame me, it's all my fault." ”

It turned out to be a torture show.

Seeing this, the sister-in-law hurriedly went to pull the torture show: "Hurry up, Miss Su has a good heart, don't be like this." She said as she looked at Gongyu.

Fang Ce, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, saw this scene and silently retreated.

On the way back, he vaguely remembered that the little girl kneeling on the ground seemed to have bumped into him a few times, and always said something inexplicable, now that he thinks about it, I see.

Fang Ce shook his head.

He won't get involved in this kind of thing, Su Yu will solve it.

Melancholy, I broke it twice, trying to make up the word count back.
