Wen Chen smiled slightly and said, "Then it's better to give Ma Gongzi a debut question in the next place!" ”

What? Is this a reward?

Do you think that Ben Gongzi didn't answer enough questions just now?

Ma Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and was about to reprimand with a straight face, but he saw the meaningful smile on Wen Chen's face when he saw him for the first time.

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I laughed.

"You asked this question for Ben Gongzi's teacher, right?"

"If you think about it carefully, you really can't hide it from Ma Gongzi!"

Wen Chen bowed down and hugged his fists.

Since you like to sell your reputation and reputation, I will teach you more skills, so that you can show your face more on the side of the surname Jin.

This is called doing what he likes, compared to taking silver to let the fat man of the horse discourage, it not only saves silver taels, but also the effect is definitely much better!

"Don't fix those equations a few times, don't talk about that thing, the teacher may not have heard of it!" Ma Ruyi said uneasily.

"Of course!" Wen Chen smiled and nodded, "In the next question, it is also a couplet!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

"Smoke lock pond willow!"

"Gone?"

"It's gone."

Ma Ruyi frowned slightly, this upper link sounds unremarkable, with the teacher's ability, the lower link can be matched in minutes.

"Xiao Wen, don't you just use some rags to fool my son?"

Wen Chen shook his head, took the pen in his hand and wrote the upper couplet just now on the paper, and then circled the radicals of the five words, "Childe, do you understand?" ”

The fat man who was still slightly dissatisfied with his expression before instantly lit up, at first glance, this upper link was unremarkable, but in fact, the radical of each word just formed the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth"!

This gimmick alone has directly raised the difficulty and grade of this uplink a lot!

If this is seen by Jin Dong, a teacher who usually likes to chant poetry, he will definitely regard it as a treasure!

Wonderful, wonderful!

"Is Ma Gongzi satisfied with the reward below?" Wen Chen asked with a smile.

"Good, good!" Ma Ruyi hugged the paper and couldn't put it down, "This son really didn't see the wrong person!" ”

"I won't talk to you more, Ben Gongzi will go back and discuss with the teacher!"

In the next few days, Qingcheng, which was originally calm, had several major events one after another.

The newly arrived Wen's Cloth Workshop announced its cooperation with the Li family, and in the case of no help from local merchants, with the water-powered textile machine that came out of nowhere, it not only responded to the task of 300,000 horses of summer cloth in the imperial court, but also undertook a large number of cloth orders from all over Dasheng, which was in the limelight for a while!

And at this time of year, the Li family is busy weaving cloth for the imperial court, and no foreign business is accepted, so it is also the best two months for other cloth mill businesses, but they don't want to be muddyed by Wen Chen this year.

The cloth merchants who had hoarded a large number of silk and twine before, and were ready to wait for the Li family to overturn the car, not only did they receive more orders, but even the original business of the Li family and Wen's cloth workshop was robbed!

In addition, the cloth merchants hoarded a huge amount of raw materials, the backlog of funds was too much, the workshops were suspended, and the workers ran away one after another.

Every day, a group of people in front of the Taishou Mansion pulled banners, asking the Li family and Wen's cloth mill to contribute the hydraulic loom as a public asset of Qingcheng, and it was said that there would be wealth together.

But even if the momentum was huge, he didn't wait for Taishou Ma Qingshan's response, but just sent someone out to say a few words, "Go back and wait for news!" "That's the case.

The second thing is that among the women in the market, it is suddenly popular to open a foot bag called "stockings"!

At first, this thing was only spread in the circle of rich wives, but within a few days, it became popular all over the city, and even the aunts who sold tofu on the street began to dress up for the first time, showing the black silk under their skirts to customers who came to buy tofu from time to time!

The reason is that everyone is beginning to find that once a woman wears this thing, it seems that even her charm has risen by a few notches, and she can instantly tie the hearts of men!

The men who usually fall asleep as soon as they get home, since the women in the family put on stockings, they sneak around to play with their legs when they have a little free time, and they don't have enough at all!

Although the price of a pair of stockings is as high as five taels of silver, there are more and more men, women and children who think that this thing is indeed worth the price.

The first merchant to launch stockings is still Wen's Cloth Fang, although many imitations have begun to appear on the market, but in terms of texture and upper body beauty, they still have a clear gap with the stockings launched by Wen Chen.

Wen Chen didn't react much to these endless copycats, in his words, doing business, you have to save soup for others to drink after you finish eating meat.

And the last thing happened in the Qingcheng literary circle, which has always been a gathering place for noble sons, Ma Ruyi Ma Gongzi, who came back from Tianjing City before, swept many literati and artists with a five-element couplet!

None of the hundreds of top intellectuals in Qingcheng could match the lower link of the Five Elements Alliance, and even the scholars who came from other places were defeated, saying that this union was absolute through the ages, and it was impossible for anyone to come out right.

Ma Ruyi became famous for a while, and those who suspected that he had water in the past have dispelled their suspicions because of this five-element couplet, and even some former senior officials of the imperial court who did not want to be named commented that with Ma Ruyi's literary style, next year's spring can be among the top three!

These words reached the ears of Taishou Ma Qingshan, and he directly opened the door to feast the guests, as if next year's champion was already in his nephew's bag!

In the small courtyard next to the Zanghua Hutong.

Wen Chen, in the shade of the tree, held a handful of meat skewers shirtless, slowly roasted them on the tip of the flame, and from time to time grabbed a handful of homemade barbecue ingredients from a small bowl next to him and sprinkled them.

The fat and spices are fully integrated, and the crackling sound fills the skewers with an enticing aroma.

Li Youcai, who was sitting on the side, although the business in the shop has been booming recently and he has made enough money, but at this time he looked sad and looked a little bored.

"Young Master Wen, in the past two days, those old guys have broken the threshold of my Lao Li, and they have to ask me to hand over the construction diagram of the hydraulic loom, some talk about friendship, some are reasonable, and some are angry and threaten my Lao Li's family, what do you say?"

Wen Chen sneered, they also deserve to be your old buddy?

When your Li family was in difficulty, which one didn't take advantage of the fire to rob, thinking about making a fortune from it, and now you still have a face to ask for a textile machine?

"I can't help you with this favor, then Yuan Qingshan can point to my hydraulic loom to get promoted and make a fortune, you have to beg him if you ask for it!"

Li Youcai let out a long sigh, he had lived most of his life, for fear that the Li family would fall into his hands, but he never thought that he would worry about business too good one day!

There are many popular people!

"Young Master Wen, there is one more thing, Lao Li has to ask you!"

"Say!"

Wen Chen pinched a meat skewer, smelled the taste, and put it in his mouth with satisfaction.

"The Lord Shangshujin of the household department who came to Qingcheng with Gonggong Wei wants to see you, and wants to ask Lao Li to be a middleman......"
