Chapter 59

Liu Tingge was curious and studied honeycomb coal and coal stoves. Cabbage and An An thought it was fun, and they were still crushing briquettes with mold moments.

Lin Xiaoyue called cabbage and An An to her and said: Cabbage, An An, you can't burn coal in an unventilated room to avoid poisoning, you know no.

An An said: Master, An An knows that coal can be poisoned, and her mother taught her.

Liu Tingge said: Sister Yue'er, although the common people can't afford to use charcoal, everyone knows about charcoal poisoning.

Lin Xiaoyue opened a coal shop, Liu Tingge named it Liuyue Coal Shop, invited a few guys, taught the craft, and handed over the management to Liu Tingge, Liu Tingge was clamoring to be in charge, and if he didn't agree, he would be stalked. Honeycomb coal costs two dollars a penny, and a coal furnace costs twenty dollars a penny. Lin Xiaoyue first promoted coal and coal stoves to the poor people and taught them how to use them.

After using it, the people feel that it is easy to use, less smoking, and less money than burning wood. It didn't take long for honeycomb coal and coal stoves to enter thousands of households, saving people money for firewood and heating. Liu Tingge counted the accounts and muttered that coal was cheaper, and now in winter, the common people need three or four copper coins a day to burn firewood, and the smoke of burning firewood is large.

Lin Xiaoyue teased: Ge'er is an immortal who has escaped from the mortal dust, when did he get contaminated with the smell of copper.

Liu Qingge said: Sister Yue'er, I know that you are not doing this to make money, but you know that we have worked so hard every day for two months to make a few dollars.

Liu Tingge had a bitter face.

Lin Xiaoyue comforted: It's good not to lose money, just make merit.

Liu Tingge suddenly smiled and said: We earned 30,000 taels of silver.

Lin Xiaoyue knew that she was being teased, so she angrily chased after Liu Tingge. Liu Tingge said with a smile while hiding: "Sister Yue'er, your honeycomb coal is very popular with the public, and now every household in the capital is using honeycomb coal, and I have also opened coal stores in other cities, all of which are sold out."

When he was fighting, the jade barnacle came, and as soon as he saw Lin Xiaoyue, he threw himself into Lin Xiaoyue's arms. The jade barnacle said: Master, why don't you tell me when you come to the capital, and cause me to inquire everywhere.

Afterwards, the jade barnacle spat bitter water to Lin Xiaoyue again. After Jade Barnacle returned to Penglai Island, she decided to study hard and make progress every day.

As a result, when reading a book, you lose concentration, your eyes are looking, your heart is flying outside, and you can't read the book. I hired a master to teach. The master is a cramming education, and he wants the jade barnacle to shake his head and endorse it every day. The jade barnacle didn't understand the meaning of the words in the book, so she asked the master, and the master asked her not to ask, but to endorse more, and she would understand in the future. And the jade barnacle can't recite a book in class, so if you want to doze off, you can recite a sentence or two when you run outside to have fun.

Jade Barnacle learns to manage household chores from Wu Guli. Wu Guli taught, but Wu Guli knew it, and he didn't know why, so he couldn't make the jade barnacle understand and use. For example, the jade barnacle asked Wu Guli why he asked the three big men to be guards. Wu Guli said that the three of them were honest and would not steal from themselves. Jade Barnacle asked how to tell that they were honest. I was stunned, and I said that I just looked honest.

Jade Barnacle decided to practice diligently. I practiced the Qi Sword and the Great Zhou Tian Gong for four hours. Her father, Yu Zhijiang, was distressed, found a maid massage for her, and gave her delicious food to replenish her body. As a result, the jade barnacle indulged in enjoyment and forgot about diligent practice. The jade barnacle wants to work hard tomorrow, and when it comes to tomorrow, it wants to work hard the day after tomorrow, anyway, it will be a long time, so it has been delayed.

As a result, after a few months, the jade barnacle did not make any progress. Jade Barnacle wanted to find Bigu Sword, but Yu Zhijiang disagreed. The jade barnacle wanted to find the master Lin Xiaoyue again, and Yu Zhijiang agreed after thinking for a while, and Wu Guli and the others followed the jade barnacle to set off. Jade Barnacle didn't see Lin Xiaoyue in Suzhou City, and after several inquiries, he found out that he had come to the capital, and he found the capital Liu Shangshu Mansion.

The jade barnacle hugged Lin Xiaoyue and said coquettishly: Master, without you, I can't make progress, that master knows the endorsement of shaking his head and hanging beams, I guess he doesn't understand the meaning of the poems in the book at all.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, you have to cultivate your self-learning ability, and you can't rely too much on others.

Jade Barnacle says: Not everyone has a self-learning mind.

Lin Xiaoyue settled the jade barnacles. At night, Jade Barnacle ran to Lin Xiaoyue's bed to sleep, and asked cautiously: Master, where did Chongming go?

Lin Xiaoyue said calmly: He went back to the South China Sea.

Jade Barnacle Qidao: That negative man.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaohu, the South China Sea is his home, and people will eventually go home, and I have long been mentally prepared for this.

The jade barnacle hugged Lin Xiaoyue and comforted: Master, don't be sad, in the future, I will find you a mermaid who is ten times better looking than Ming.

Lin Xiaoyue's eyes were red, and she said: Don't worry about me, Xiaoju, I'm fine.

The next day, Wu Guli came to him and asked Lin Xiaoyue to tell him the fertilizer formula. Feng Xinghe promoted agricultural production technology in Yuguo, and Wuguli had already sent people to learn the technology and bring it back to Penglai Island. However, Feng Xinghe also promoted fertilizer, and the formula of fertilizer was mastered by Xuanqingzong, and fertilizers were produced and traded.

After several inquiries, Wu Guli learned that the fertilizer formula came from Lin Xiaoyue, and thought of the relationship between Lin Xiaoyue and the jade barnacle, so he came to ask for it.

Lin Xiaoyue said: The fertilizer formula is given to Fengxinghe, so I can't give it to you, but I have another fertilizer formula to give to you.

Lin Xiaoyue wrote a fertilizer recipe for Wu Guli. Wu Gu thanked him, and took out a hundred taels of silver to Lin Xiaoyue as a reward.

Jade Barnacle follows Lin Xiaoyue every day to learn cultivation and game theory. Lin Xiaoyue imparted knowledge to Jade Barnacle through storytelling, and Jade Barnacle found it interesting and beneficial to learn from Shizun.

One day, a matchmaker came to propose to Lin Xiaoyue. When Lin Xiaoyue heard that it was Duan Ying's son Duan Yi who proposed to the cabbage as a concubine, Lin Xiaoyue choked on the tea she drank into her trachea, coughed violently, and the jade barnacle was busy patting Lin Xiaoyue on the back. Lin Xiaoyue thought she had misheard.

The matchmaker said it again.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Cabbage is still young and has no beauty or background, and Duan Yi is the son of an official eunuch, how could he ask to marry cabbage as a concubine.

The matchmaker said: The cabbage is almost 13 years old, she will marry first, and then marry when she reaches the age of 13.

Lin Xiaoyue is a person of modern socialism, and it is impossible to let an underage girl be a junior for others, this kind of black-hearted thing cannot be done. And what kind of person Duan Yi is, she knows very well that marrying that kind of person will ruin her life. Lin Xiaoyue politely rejected the matchmaker's proposal.

The matchmaker couldn't understand that Lin Xiaoyue would refuse such a good marriage, but she didn't force it, she had been a matchmaker for so many years, and she knew that everyone in this world had it, and everything that couldn't be understood existed.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, you go and inquire why Duan Yi wants to take cabbage as a concubine.

The jade barnacle said: Master, the cabbage is just the daughter of a vulgar peasant woman, why should you be so concerned about her.

Lin Xiaoyue thought that Yu Guo was really a hierarchical feudal society, and both An An and Jade Barnacles despised cabbage.

In Yu, there can only be one wife, and there is no limit to concubines, but there can only be two concubines. And the concubine is no better than the ordinary concubine, you can buy and sell at will, beat and scold, the concubine is either not badly born, or the male owner likes it very much. The concubine is only one shoulder lower than the wife in the house, and she is also the master of the house, and the wife is dead, she can help the concubine to fill the house, and the general concubine room cannot be turned into a regular one. Generally in the Yu Kingdom, the wife does not restrict her husband from taking concubines, because the concubine cannot threaten the position of the wife, but she will not agree to the husband taking a concubine.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, don't look down on cabbage because she was born low.

The jade barnacle said: What is there about the cabbage that I can see, which one of them is the same, appearance, talent, wisdom, cultivation, morality, and wealth.

Lin Xiaoyue thought for a while and said: Cabbage is honest.

Jade Barnacle said: She is just an elm pimple, she looks honest, but in fact, she can't even have simple human contacts, she has lived a superior life because of her master, but she has never said half a word of gratitude to her master, let alone anything else.

Lin Xiaoyue realized that the cabbage really didn't say anything good to her. Here in Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Xiaoyue can not care. If the cabbage is associated with other people, can other people also ignore it? Lin Xiaoyue thought that in modern society, if a woman has no family background, no beauty, no money, no talent, no intelligence, no morality, and she can't even have basic human contacts, she will also be looked down upon.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, you woke me up, in a state like cabbage, I will be sad everywhere, and I will educate cabbage well in the future.

The jade barnacle exclaimed: Master, you don't want to accept cabbage as an apprentice.

Lin Xiaoyue said: If you accept cabbage as an apprentice, cabbage becomes a monk, you will have a social status, and then ask someone to teach cabbage piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, increase your talent, I will teach her cultivation, resourcefulness and ideological character, and then ask a good grandmother to teach her etiquette and human feelings.

After hearing this, the jade barnacle stomped his feet angrily and said: I don't agree, with the cultivation of the master, accepting An An as an apprentice is already reducing the value, and then accepting a commoner like cabbage as an apprentice will become a joke, and I will be made fun of if I become a sister with a civilian. Master, don't you care about the opinions of the world at all?

Lin Xiaoyue ignored the clear distinction of classes, which were deeply rooted in people's minds in feudal society. Lin Xiaoyue said: The monks of the Tianyin Sect are civilians.

The jade barnacle said: So their cultivation is higher than the Xuanwu Tower, and they are also crushed by the Xuanwu Tower, and they are also looked down upon by other monks. Situ Changkong is the son of a guard, half of the blood of a civilian, even if he has made many military exploits, his promotion is slower than others.

Lin Xiao said Yue: Chongming is a merman, and I have never heard you belittle him.

The jade barnacle said: That's different, the status of the female monk is high, not lower than the status of the man, not marrying, and living with a good child abounds. Most of the monks have few children, and even their daughters are very cherished. Chongming is Shizun's excellent child, and Shizun likes him so much, so I won't say bad things about him and make Shizun unhappy.

Lin Xiaoyue has cleared her mind, in Yu Kingdom, it is normal for female monks to accept excellent children, but it is not normal to accept civilians as apprentices. Lin Xiaoyue said: Pu Hongying, the city lord of Yinxu Mountain City, also accepted many civilian women as apprentices.

The jade barnacle said: Pu Hongying is called the red old monster by everyone, evil and demonic, old and weird. She is already promiscuous and shameless, but the master wants face, and the small pot must also have face in front of people, and there can't be a commoner like cabbage as a junior sister.

Lin Xiaoyue said helplessly: Okay, let this go in advance, you go and inquire about Duan Yina's concubine first.

Jade Barnacle pouted and reluctantly inquired.

Lin Xiaoyue wanted to grasp the education of cabbage, so she spent silver money to invite four masters to teach cabbage piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and invited a transparent and reasonable grandmother to teach cabbage etiquette and interpersonal communication. The cabbage is almost full at the time of the day.

Lin Xiaoyue went to ask Feng Xinghe again: Xuanqing Sect can have civilian disciples.

Feng Xinghe said: Even ordinary sects do not have civilian disciples. The Tianyin faction is a special case, after all, no one wants to cut off their children and grandchildren. The Yin Hong faction's Pu Hongying is half righteous and half evil, which is also a special case, and some illegal Xiuzhen sects in Yu will accept civilian disciples, which are called evil demons and crooked ways in the rivers and lakes.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Civilians don't have a chance to turn over?

Feng Xinghe said: There are only two ways for civilians to turn over. One is the imperial examination, and the other is military exploits. But the promotion is slower than others. Or like Pu Hongying, you have an adventure and pick up the cultivation exercises.

After Lin Xiaoyue went back, she calmed down and thought for a while. For cabbage, Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to give up, even if she didn't care about other people's opinions, she couldn't ignore the feelings of jade barnacles. So I thought of a compromise method, not to accept cabbage as an apprentice, but to teach her the chakra heart method in private, if one day the cabbage has a matter of cultivation leaked, it will be called that the cabbage has an adventure and picked up the exercises.

A few days later, Jade Barnacle told Lin Xiaoyue what he had heard about Duan Yi.
