Chapter 70: Trivialities
Jun Yan was moved, which was expected by the family, and Uncle Zhao rarely called him to the study to talk for an afternoon.
Junyan intends to take a small test in the spring of the next year, he hopes to take his mother and sister out of the secluded mansion as soon as possible, Uncle Zhao also wanted him to end this time, after listening to his thoughts, he was very satisfied, after all, his son and son-in-law are all in the army, and there is a nephew who enters the court as an official, and it is good to take care of more.
According to his understanding of Junhiko, after winning the Jinshi, it should be no problem to be admitted to the Shu Jishi.
Since the non-Jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, and the non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet, the Shujishi in the Hanlin is the key for everyone to strive for. He advanced to the Hanlin Academy that year, and later transferred to the Sixth Department to study seniority and rejoined the cabinet.
What is missing now is an arm like Junyan, and Uncle Zhao hopes that Junyan will be nervous and start preparing for the spring exam a few months later.
Junyan also understands that although Chengzhu is in his chest, he does not dare to slack off at all, and after some consideration, he decided to live in Guozijian for the time being, but before leaving, he only couldn't rest assured that his mother and sister could not be relieved, and asked Uncle Zhao that during this period, he could restrain his uncle.
Although Uncle Zhao was displeased with Toshihiko's request, he thought that he would support each other with Toshihiko in his career in the future, so he gladly agreed.
In this way, Toshihiko moved to the country prison before the spring and underwent penance for several months.
Before leaving, Baozhi made a cotton robe for Junyan with the help of Yugui and them, two pairs of knee pads, two pairs of cotton shoes, and a large bag of refreshing incense and a large bag of soothing and sleeping incense.
"Girl, you are sending a refreshment to refresh your mind, and you are sending a soothing mind to help you sleep, do you want to ask Young Master Jun to sleep or don't you want to let him sleep?" Sending Toshihiko away with Baoyuki, the little thrush followed behind Baozhi and muttered.
"I can't sleep when I read, and my brain will be nervous when I should rest after reading a book for a day, so I naturally need to calm my nerves and sleep well. Why have you been with Du Ruo for a long time, and people have become stupid. He tapped the little thrush on the forehead.
The little thrush squeezed his eyebrows and flattered him diligently: "There are a few people in the world who are as smart as you, girl, I can't think of it, even Sister Yugui probably can't think of it, you are the person who is as smart as an orchid praised by the emperor." ”
Listening to her interpret Hui Zhilan's heart as smart as an orchid, Baozhi is full of black lines.
Back in Zhiting Courtyard, Bao Zhi conveyed the following spirit to several first- and second-class maids about studying.
"I don't ask you to be able to export the chapters, but I just need to learn the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text on this day, and if you encounter idioms that you don't understand, you can come and ask me."
The four of them have grown up in the house since they were young or follow Zhao's side, or follow Zhao's old lady, they still know the words, I didn't expect to be able to read now, the little thrush and the water Su are a little happy, the oldest Cinnamon is a little difficult to read, but I am still very happy to read, the most scratching the head is only Du Ruo, she was with other maids to read, it was very difficult, and now she has to read and memorize articles, it is better to ask her to do the work of a rough girl, it is better.
Every afternoon in the east wing of Zhiting Courtyard, there will be the sound of a few girls reading Lang Lang, and Mrs. Zhao said curiously: "Our treasure is going to be a female gentleman." ”
But a few days later, Du Ruo ran to Baozhi with a yellowed face and begged for mercy: "The three of them have learned, so I don't want to learn." I think it's perfect for me to serve a cup of tea and pour water next to you. ”
Bao Zhixiao squinted: "Okay, if I go out in the future, I will only take the three of them out, and it is perfect for you to watch the yard at home." ”
Du Ruo was dumbfounded when she heard this, she didn't take her out if she didn't study, what kind of thing is this, she is the first powerful maid next to the girl, how can she not follow when the girl goes out, and finally honestly go back to endorse.
These days, in addition to teaching a few people to read, Baozhi has not been idle the rest of the time, and she and Toshihiko have opened a fragrant shop with their mother on their backs.
Because the incense ball on the Tianchang Festival can attract butterflies, incense and incense in Beijing are popular, and the incense sold by her incense shop is more novel and lasting than that of other places.
She is really not very proficient in settling accounts, and she began to have a big head from the moment she opened the account book, and called the two of them to secretly study how to play the abacus, and she didn't dare to make Zhao hear it too loudly.
"You don't know how to settle accounts, what kind of shop to open, you can't figure out how many catties and taels you have!" The sixth time it didn't match the account book, and the anger that the stars had been building up for days finally exploded.
Bao Zhi also dropped the account book in frustration and spread it on the chair: "Don't do porcelain work without diamonds, the ancients will not deceive me." ”
"It's good to send it to Toshihiko honestly, you can't even read the account book! How to check the accounts, now that a few days have passed, the shopkeeper of your shop must have guessed that you don't understand, and he will definitely deceive you in the future. Xingchen said.
Who should I ask, my mother has a good calculation, but she must not be told to know about this matter.
"My brother is hanging from the head of the country's prison, and if I send the account books, what will happen?"
Xingchen picked up the account book and flipped left and right, but he really couldn't understand: "Then how are you doing?" It certainly can't be delayed any longer. ”
Xingchen suddenly said, "Why don't you ask Cousin Tingjun?" ”
Cousin Tingjun is a man in the army, can he understand the matter of settling accounts?
"Cousin Tingjun... Can he? ”
Seeing Bao's eyes showing disdain, the stars were angry, and his eyes and eyebrows were raised: "What's not to do!" Toshihiko will do, and of course Cousin Tingjun will too! You should be as stupid as you are! ”
Speak well, why are you still angry, and you didn't say anything about her. What's more, isn't Xingchen going to be stupid.
"Won't you?" Treasure muttered quietly.
Unfortunately, the tip of the ear of Xingchen, who was burning in anger, heard: "What did you say! I won't, but I'm not going to open a shop without doing my best. ”
After speaking, he held a few account books in one hand, and pulled up Baozhi in the other hand and walked out.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and find Cousin Tingjun."
It just so happened that Ting Jun was resting today, and he was practicing boxing under the tree in a short brown body.
Seeing the two of them coming in a hurry, they thought something was wrong, and then they heard the ins and outs, it turned out to be such a trivial matter, so they went into the house and took the abacus out, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and taught the two how to read the account books and how to dial the abacus.
"It's that simple." Baozhi listened to Tingjun's detailed explanation and couldn't help but sigh.
Xingchen rolled his eyes angrily: "It's so simple, if it weren't for Cousin Tingjun, you wouldn't have been!" ”
Baozhi didn't want to argue with her, thanked Tingjun, wrapped the account book in cloth, and eagerly went back to Zhiting Courtyard to settle the account.
Xingchen didn't go back with them immediately, she said that she would stay and finish the uneaten tea before leaving, so as not to waste it.
