It is also for this reason that there are many readers in the provincial capital, but there are still not enough excellent articles to publish in the "Anjiang Anthology".

But now, there is a person like them who has not yet been admitted to Xiucai, and his article appeared in the "Anjiang Anthology"!

The people who bought the book were very surprised to learn about this, and at the same time spread the word about it......

"Have you heard? In this month's "Anjiang Anthology", there are articles written by children. ”

"I heard about it, and I'm going to borrow a book to read it."

"Who is this Li Zixiao? didn't get admitted to Xiucai, and the article was actually on the "Anjiang Anthology". ”

"Some people don't get into the show because they can't get in, and some people don't get into the show because they don't go to the test...... This Li Zixiao must be the latter! ”

"It should be his family or he wants to be a blockbuster, so he didn't participate in the imperial examination a few years ago, and only participated this year."

"I heard that he has already taken two heads, and this time in the court exam, he is estimated to be the head of the case again!"

"Then he's a little Sanyuan!"

……

Some people discuss Li Qingzhi, and naturally some people discuss Li Qingzhi's article.

"In the Anjiang Anthology, I have already read Li Zixiao's articles, every word is beautiful, and it is very well written."

"The article...... I'm ashamed of myself. ”

"I took the article back to my teacher, and my teacher said that he might not be able to write such a good article...... My teacher is a lifter! ”

……

In the end, these people had to ask Li Qingzhi everywhere: "Has this Li Zixiao come to the provincial capital?" ”

"Who did he learn from?"

"I want to visit him......"

……

Li Qingzhi has not yet come to the provincial capital, but he has already made a name for himself in the provincial capital.

When Du Yongning saw this situation, he was so angry that he couldn't do it.

His article was squeezed down by this Li Qingzhi's article! If it weren't for Li Qingzhi, he would be the one who is being discussed now!

If Li Qingzhi is a well-known scholar, Du Yongning will consider himself unlucky and will not be too uncomfortable.

But Li Qingzhi, like him, is a child who has not yet been admitted to Xiucai!

And look at the current situation...... Li Qingzhi probably wanted to follow the path he thought for himself - to make a name for himself before the hospital examination, strive to become the head of the hospital examination, and then get a small three yuan.

The path he wanted to take was taken by someone else...... Can Du Yongning not be angry?

He didn't want to read Li Qingzhi's article!

But it's really not okay if you don't watch it...... Du Yongning pinched his nose and read Li Qingzhi's article.

This article is really good, but it's a bit too old-fashioned, is this really written by a child?

His squeezed out strategy was written under the guidance of a man, but it was far inferior to this article.

This Li Qingzhi must have found a very powerful person to guide him, and maybe he even helped him polish it!

Du Yongning's heart was sour, and at this time, Governor Zhang received the "Anjiang Anthology" sent to him by Anjiang Academy.

Anjiang Academy will sell books, and will also give out some books, and the officials of this provincial capital can receive books donated by Anjiang Academy.

When Governor Zhang saw this book, he thought of the fact that he helped Li Qing deliver the article, and immediately opened it.

He saw Li Qingzhi's article!

I didn't expect it to be on the ...... so soon This is definitely a good thing for Li Qingzhi.

Chapter 150: Midyear Festival

"Anjiang Anthology" is released on the fifteenth day of each month, and this day happens to be the fifteenth day of July, which is the Midyear Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival.

According to the custom of Chongcheng County, on this day, the common people should light some candles in front of their homes or on the side of the road.

After Gou Tongzhi talked to Li Qingzhi, he wanted to stay with Li Qingzhi for dinner, but Li Qingzhi politely refused and went home early.

Then he saw Jin Xiaoye fiddling with a bunch of candles.

"How did you buy so many candles?" Li Qing asked.

Jin Xiaoye said: "Today is the fifteenth day of July, and candles are lit at night." ”

"It seems that there were no points last year?" Li Qingzhi recalled that he had already come to this world at this time last year, and he didn't see Jin Xiaoye lighting candles.

Jin Xiaoye was confident: "At that time, the family didn't have much money, what candles did you light on?" ”

Li Qingzhi was not in those years, she never tossed these things that cost money, Li Qingzhi came back last year, but she looked weak, she didn't know the bottom of her heart, and naturally she wouldn't buy candles to light it.

This year is different.

She is in charge of the accounts, and now Juewei Zhai has removed all kinds of expenses, and removed the wages for Changzhan them, and can earn her five or six taels of silver a day, and more than a hundred taels a month!

The gold leaf embroidery workshop does not earn as much money as Juewei Zhai, but in a month, it can also earn her thirty or forty taels of silver.

The two shops are added together, Jin Xiaoye can now earn two hundred taels of silver a month, what is it to buy some candles!

Li Qingzhi smiled and went to look at the candles that Jin Xiaoye had bought.

For the ordinary people of Daqi, candles are not cheap.

After buying a pair of candles, ordinary farmers only take them out and light them on important occasions.

For example, when worshipping ancestors during the New Year, the point will be blown out after a while, and then the point will be blown out when Qingming goes to the grave, and the point will be blown out after the death of relatives at home.

Save a little that a pair of candles can last for a year.

Of course, those who have a lot of money will not do this, they will buy new candles every time and come back to light them, those candles that have been lit but not finished, may be used for lighting on weekdays, or they may be inserted at the door and lit on the side of the road during the Midyear Festival.

There are two kinds of candles in Chongcheng County, one is a cotton thread in the middle, and the other is a thin bamboo tube with cotton thread wound in the middle.

Everyone generally buys the latter, because the thin bamboo tube is empty in the middle, and it can be inserted into the pointed candlestick, or something like going to the grave, and the thin bamboo tube can also be inserted directly into the mud.

Jin Xiaoye bought this kind of melon, she cut a winter melon, put a candle on the winter melon, and waited for the evening to be lit.

This day's dinner was still made by Chang Zhan, and the remaining winter melon was shredded and fried, which was quite delicious.

Female workers also eat winter melon today. Seaweed, winter melon and pork are boiled in a large pot, and they are especially delicious when poured over rice.

However, Li Ermao doesn't like to eat winter melon, he doesn't touch a mouthful, he used to be a picky eater, but now that life is about to be good, he picks up, and he doesn't like to eat several vegetables.

Fortunately, he didn't stop eating it completely, Li Qingzhi bought some cucumbers and soaked them in water, and he played with them and fished one when he was thirsty and thirsty.

Seeing this situation, Li Qingzhi didn't care about his picky eater.

He was also a picky eater when he was a child, and he didn't like to eat winter melon, but now...... Raw winter melon is very delicious, the skin of winter melon is still very chewy, that is, you should wash it before eating, so as not to be stabbed by the small thorns on the skin.

After eating, several children began to wait for dark.

Before it was completely dark, they lit the candles, and they were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Children have no concept of Halloween, so they think that many places in Chongcheng County have lit candles, which look particularly beautiful.

Li Ermao also took some used paper and burned it to play.

Li Qingzhi still didn't stop him, and burned them together.

It's rare for him to come back together, and he must have a good time with the children!

Seeing that he was having fun, Chang Zhan also joined in, and Li Laogen also collected the candle tears that dripped from the candle and pinched it to play: "When I was a child, I was envious of seeing others playing with candles, but I didn't expect that now that I am a lot older, I can also play!" ”

However, after playing for a while, Jin Xiaoye began to shout: "Li Qingzhi, you should take Da Mao Ermao to take a bath and sleep!" ”

On this day, they slept later than usual, and after Jin Xiaoye cleaned up and lay on the bed, he couldn't help but ask Li Qingzhi: "How old are you, play with children all day long." ”

Li Qing insisted on a serious book: "I'm three years old!" ”

Before dawn the next day, Jin Xiaoshu came to pick up Li Qingzhi.

Because he was going to Fucheng to deliver goods to Fang Xiuniang, he got up early every day to go to Juewei Zhai to get the freshly made lo-mei.

Recently, Fang Jinniang and Jin's father and mother all took the golden mulberry boat to the county seat.

After Li Qingzhi got on the boat, Jin Xiaoshu began to row hard, thinking about going to Fucheng as soon as possible.

Li Qing asked Jin Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, are you tired of going back and forth to Fucheng every day?" ”

"I'm tired!" Jin Xiaoshu Road.

He has been really tired lately, he goes out early in the morning, and then comes back non-stop, he can sleep for a while in the afternoon, but after sleeping, he has to go to Jueweizhai to help......

Li Qing insisted: "Since you are tired, why don't you ask someone to help you deliver the goods?" This way you will save trouble. ”

Jin Xiaoshu was a little dazed.

Li Qingzhi said again: "Now you are in charge of opening a shop outside, after you take the lo-mei from Juewei Zhai, you can sell it to Fang Xiuniang at a higher price, even if the delivery money is inside, this money is enough for you to hire someone to help you deliver the goods, right?" ”

Jin Xiaoshu nodded, don't look at him who has been tired recently, he has earned a lot of money, he took ten taels of silver from Juewei Zhai and sold it to Fang Xiuniang for eleven taels of silver!

Of course, Fang Xiuniang also has to make money, she sells lo-mei in the provincial capital, "You ask someone to help you deliver the goods, and after you are free, you can go to Linhu County or other nearby counties to open shops, so that you can earn more." Li Qingzhi told him about the business scriptures: "After there are more shops, you can buy a few more boats and ask a few more people to help you deliver goods, since these people go to Fucheng to Linhu County at a fixed time every day to deliver goods, you can also let them help the people of Chongcheng County carry things, which can make ......money."

Why does Jin Xiaoshu work so hard every day? He could have bought a few more boats and started a boat trip, delivering lo-mei and helping to deliver other things at the same time.

"Brother-in-law, how did you come up with that? You're amazing! Jin Xiaoshu said.

"Your sister thought of it, she didn't have time to tell you, so let me tell you today." Li Qing insisted.

When Jin Xiaoye chatted with him last night, he mentioned that Jin Xiaoshu was very busy and wanted Jin Xiaoshu to drive a boat.

And he helped Jin Xiaoye refine his thoughts.

It's quite ashamed, he didn't notice Jin Xiaoshu's exhaustion before......

Jin Xiaoshu delivered the goods to Fang Xiuniang, in fact, it was okay to deliver it a little later - Fang Xiuniang's shop usually opened around ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Qingzhi asked Jin Xiaoshu to rock the boat slowly, and told him what he discussed with Jin Xiaoye.
