Chapter 65
Mrs. Cen's body was not so bad originally, but she had a miscarriage once, and later she had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Cen Ximi, although she escaped death, but her body was ruined. Three years ago, a cold spring almost cost Mrs. Cen her life. In order to prevent the cloth village from continuing to decline, in the first month, the old man Cen went to Shu to find the embroidery girl who was proficient in Shu embroidery and the weaving and bleaching method of Shu brocade.
There are few Shu brocade in Shanghai, but the scarcity is expensive, and there are not many people who like Shu brocade. Occasionally, the cloth village consumes a lot of financial resources and manpower to transport a few horses to Shudi, and it will be coaxed and empty by some powerful people, and the price is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary fabrics. Shu brocade has become one of the tools for all kinds of celebrities to show their worth and status, and some powerful wives and aunts like to use this exquisite and precious fabric to make clothes.
But no one can do this kind of business for a long time, not to mention the financial resources consumed between the two places, just a long time to go is amazing, in addition to the road is not very peaceful, sometimes encounter mountain bandits and bandits is the end of the two empty people, and Shu brocade was originally sold very expensive, that kind of price in general cloth village can not take too many goods, so in Shanghai Shu brocade is still a rare thing, Cen Lao moved his own mind to weave Shu brocade, but also forced to take risks.
Although in the end, Master Cen brought back the weaving process of embroidery and Shu brocade as he wished, and successfully brought Cen Jiabuzhuang back to life, but it also caused Mrs. Cen to be seriously ill but no one to take care of her. His father was thousands of miles away, and his mother was seriously ill, so Cen Xijun abandoned the road to Chunqiu, resigned from the official position of the county government, and went home to take care of his mother.
Later, his mother recovered, the business of the cloth village was booming, and Cen Xijun continued to prepare for the spring exam.
Cen Xi's heart was unwilling, it can be seen that Mrs. Cen is so sad and blames herself, he can only comfort him gently, after all, in Cen Xi's heart, family is far more important than the imperial examination, even if he does it again, he will still make the same choice.
"Mother, you can't think like this, you are in bad health because of me, in my son's heart, you are the most important, as long as you are good, my son will not regret it."
Cen Xijun walked up to Mrs. Cen, knelt down, took the handkerchief that Mrs. Cen had crumpled in her hand, gently wiped the tears on her face, and comforted her mother with a smile.
"Madam, it's not your fault, if you want to blame me, it's me ......"
"Father, Mother! The cancellation of the imperial examination was canceled, and the son's efforts were not in vain, those scholarly poetry books always entered the son's stomach, and now that the imperial examination is canceled, I will go another way, and there will always be a day to get ahead, you don't have to worry. ”
Master Cen was about to blame himself, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Cen Ximi. Seeing that he comforted Mrs. Cen, he stood up, and spoke indifferently in the eyes of the two, with a tall posture, a loose temperament, and a high-spirited attitude.
"What are you going to do in the future?"
Master Cen was not a person who sighed after the fact, and he couldn't bear to see his wife sad before, so he followed up and said, but now when he heard Cen Xijun say this, he was relieved, and asked about Cen Xijun's future plans, after all, the road to entering the office is completely broken now, and he has to find another way out in the future.
"Father, I plan to set up a private school and become a teacher."
Cen Xi has been studying for so many years, not only to be an official, but also because he likes to read, and he also likes the quiet atmosphere of the school, and if he is a teacher in the future, it will not be too bad.
"Well, if you want to, just do it! You've grown up, and I shouldn't interfere with your decisions anymore. ”
When Master Cen heard his plan, his brows furrowed fiercely, and his face was full of disapproval, but after a moment of silence, he still nodded in agreement.
The Cen family made a fortune in business, and now the Cen family cloth village is one of the largest cloth villages in Shanghai, and he only has such a son as Cen Ximian, Master Cen naturally wants Cen Ximian to inherit the mantle, but he also understands that his son is weak by nature, and he is not interested in business at all, so he forced him to take over the cloth village, and Master Cen couldn't bear it.
When Mr. Cen was young, his family was in the middle of the road, and along the way, he had suffered a lot of frames and suffered a lot of losses, he didn't want Cen Xijun to also experience those, but fortunately, now he is in the prime of life, and he is not in a hurry to let people take over the family business, so he simply went with Cen Xijun, and when he married Yu Jin in the future, he became a family, and it was not too late to take over the cloth village.
"Thank you, father!"
Cen Xijun didn't know what Master Cen was thinking, but he was still very happy that his decision could be affirmed by his father.

Half a month later
"The mandate of heaven is sexuality, sex is the Tao, and cultivation is the Tao. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious of what he does not see, fearful of what he does not hear, not to see and hide, not to show ......"
As soon as Yu Chen walked outside the courtyard wall of Xiu Yuanzhai, he heard the sound of Lang Lang writing, reading an article that he didn't understand. Yu Chen couldn't help but pout, hurriedly walked a few steps, greeted the little guy at the back door and entered the courtyard.
This Xiu Yuanzhai is Cen Xijun's new private school, and he has been a gentleman here for more than ten days. Although the imperial examination has been cancelled, there are many powerful people in Shanghai, and the children of large families still have to continue to study, coupled with Cen Xijun's reputation in the past, many students came to his school as soon as it was opened, and now there are more than 20 people.
Yu Chen entered the courtyard and felt that his eyes lit up. The yard is not big, and there is no delicate rockery flowing water, but as far as the eye can see, it is full of lush bamboo, the ground is paved with black and white small stones, and it is a bamboo village along the bamboo forest path to walk in, and a vacant space is opened in front of the bamboo village, and there is a stone table, four or five stone benches, which looks quite interesting in the mountains.
Yu Chen came to look for Cen Xijun today, but he didn't want to bother rashly before school was out, so he simply sat down on the stone bench and waited for Cen Xijun to finish.
Yu Chen has never listened to these obscure articles, and in his opinion, their hypnotic effect is better than that of tranquilizers. Sure enough, after sitting for a while, listening to the students reading, he couldn't help but be drowsy, and when the students got out of school, Cen Xijun came out and saw Yu Chen lying asleep on the stone table.
"Ouch! What bastard would dare to fight ......"
Yu Chen slept soundly, a sudden pain in the back of his head startled his sweet dream, and the anger came up in a flash, and he scolded without even seeing the opening clearly, and when he saw Cen Xi, who was dressed in a gray robe and had a long and jade body, he hurriedly silenced his voice, and reacted so quickly that he almost didn't flash his tongue.
"Bastard thing? Why, Young Master Yu didn't wake up, his brain fell into a dream? ”
Cen Xi's Shi Shiran, who had played Yu Chen's brain, sat down, stared at Yu Chen without a heart and smiled gently, looking like he could forgive him if he was scolded.
It's just that Young Master Yu, who suffers from 'no brains', is so ridiculed that he can't speak, and he has to laugh because of someone's 'obscenity', and he lives like a woman from a good family who is bullied by bullies.
