Chapter 325 Making an idea
So Yingbao recounted his own experience, talking about Shiquan Mountain and the peonies that appeared in the cave, and even added more details to it, which made everyone marvel.
"Can peonies bloom in winter?" Li He didn't understand.
Li Daobai's younger brother glanced at him: "I told you it was a miracle. Do you understand the miracle? Not to mention the peonies blooming in winter, it's not surprising that there are auspicious dragons in the sky."
Li He scratched his head and nodded in agreement.
Er Ni looked fascinated and said: "It would be great if I could encounter a miracle. Then I would ask her for some magic medicine, the kind that can make me immortal."
She had made arrangements in her heart. She would give one to her father, one to her mother, one to her brother, and one to herself. Well, Yan Ru's mother would also have one. They would all live forever and live in harmony forever.
Jiang Quan ruthlessly broke her fantasy: "Stop dreaming, do you think the magic medicine is all leeks on the ground? Just a few leeks at a time. When meeting a believer like you, the goddess probably doesn't have to do anything, and she will just refine the magic medicine for you." The medicine is ready."
Erni glared at her second cousin: "I want a few! What's wrong?"
Jiang Quan snorted and muttered: "Wishful thinking."
"What are you muttering about?" Erni poked her head over.
Jiang Quan ran away in a flash.
Yingbao:······
She suddenly remembered that her Wudingzhi should be regarded as a miracle medicine, and she should give more to her parents and brothers to make them live longer.
In the afternoon, my sister-in-law learned that Jiang Quan had returned with a cart of melons and fruits, so she came over with her child in her arms to help look after the shop.
She also brought a piece of news, "My father has inquired clearly. There is indeed a specialty shop near West Street. The products sold are the same as ours. Even the packaging is the same. The name of the shop is Caoji Specialty Products. , opened by the family of County Lieutenant Cao Shen."
"No wonder." Jiang Cheng sneered.
Qiu Rong added: "The strange thing is that Caoji's specialty also sells golden fungus and snow fungus, but the quantity is not large."
"Let's open our own and don't care what he does." Jiang Quan said, "I don't believe it. They even have lychees, grapes and longan."
Qiu Rong smiled and said: "That's really not the case."
Yingbao doesn't care much about Cao's shop, because if his shop doesn't follow suit, there will be others in the future, which is not surprising at all.
At this time, more and more people came into the store to buy fruits, and Jiang Cheng hired an ox cart to deliver the fruits everywhere.
Although there is a carriage at home, the old horse has just dragged a cart of goods so far, so it is natural for him to have a good rest when he returns to the county town.
There are also many wealthy families in the county. They have ordered lychees and other fruits in the store a few days ago, and they are just waiting for the goods to be delivered as soon as they arrive.
Yingbao saw that the bullock cart was quite spacious, so she got on it too. She wanted to go back to the medical office to give some fruits to her master and senior brothers.
By the way, I also want to go to Yuanbao's school and take some fruits for him and his master to try.
The ox cart walked slowly under the scorching sun, and when it reached the door of a house, Jiang Chengcheng hurriedly carried a large basket of fruits and knocked on the door.
The door opened, someone carried the fruit in, and then brought the money out.
At this time, Ying Bao was sitting on the bullock cart sweating profusely, thinking about the ice cubes stored in the cave.
Those ice cubes were piled in a corner by her, but they didn't even melt.
However, it was very cold within a foot of the ice, so she put all the fruits she picked in the cave around the ice to freeze. It would be very refreshing to take them out to eat, but she didn't dare.
Jiang Cheng saw that his little cousin was very hot, so he fanned her with his straw hat and said angrily: "I told you not to follow me, but you didn't listen. What if you get the heat?"
Ying Bao: "He won't suffer from heat stroke." At worst, she would just eat a piece of ice to cool down. There is no chance of heat stroke anyway.
The oxcart stopped and went, and soon all the fruits were delivered to those houses. Jiang Cheng then came to the school where Yuanbao studied, and got off the oxcart with Yingbao.
The school is called Yude School, and it was opened by a scholar named Xie.
At this time, the school door is closed tightly, and the sound of reading can be faintly heard inside.
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and patted the door knocker.
Not long after, a woman in her thirties came to open the door. Seeing that it was Jiang Cheng, she immediately invited them in.
The woman is the daughter-in-law of the master of the school. She cooks for the students in the school and guards the door.
She asked her brother and sister to wait in the living room while she went to the classroom to call someone.
Jiang Cheng placed the fruit basket he brought in on the ground and sat down with his little cousin on a side seat.
"Brother!" Yuan Bao walked in quickly and was very happy to see Ying Bao again: "Ying Bao, you are back from your travels."
"Yes." Yingbao took out the books he bought in Fucheng from his bag and handed them to Yuanbao: "My master added annotations. I heard from my cousin that you will end up next year. These books should be useful to you."
Yuan Bao knew that his little cousin's current master was a learned man. He immediately felt like he had found a treasure and took it over to look through it.
Sure enough, these books have annotations on every word and sentence, and the meaning is explained in more detail than what Confucius said.
"Thank you Ying Bao." There was nothing more important than this, Yuan Bao was simply overjoyed.
Because any classic with detailed annotations is truly hard to find.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.
It’s not that they are not smart or hard-working, it’s just that they really can’t compare with our children who have deep resources.
Books on scientific examinations are not difficult to buy as long as you have money.
But you have to know what it means when you buy it.
Many ancient books discuss the present and quote the classics. As long as you don't know the allusions, you won't understand the meaning at all.
In this case, you either have to read a lot of books, or you have to find a teacher to guide you.
In fact, it is difficult for students from poor families to have access to books translated by famous scholars, let alone famous teachers.
When you enter the examination room, even if you have good handwriting and can write all the books silently, you can only pass the county examination.
When it comes to government examinations and college examinations, it's not just as simple as dictating books.
Candidates also need to test the theories, edicts, imperial edicts, expressions, judgments, etc., as well as strategies, that is, "classics, history, current affairs, etc.", which examine the understanding and strategies of Confucian classics, anecdotes from past dynasties, and current affairs.
For poor students who are ignorant of what is going on outside the window, these policies will cost them their lives.
"Why are you so polite?" Ying Bao said with a smile, "When you come back next year and become a scholar, we can also benefit from it."
Yuan Bao scratched his head in embarrassment and hummed lowly.
After coming out of the school, Ying Bao said goodbye to her cousin and went straight to the medical office.
In the Yin and Yang Department of the Medical Department, Zhou Wuchang had just returned. He was washing his hands and talking to his eldest apprentice when he saw his younger apprentice running in, carrying a fruit basket in his hand.
Yingbao placed the fruit basket on the table and asked, "Master, will you go to Chuanhe Town tomorrow?"
Zhou Wuchang glanced at the fruit basket and nodded: "Master, I really want to go to Chuanhe Town."
He wanted to see what was going on in Dongchen Village, which actually attracted many people.
"Great, I'll go clean it up right now."
In fact, there is nothing to pack, but you must take your own medicine box.
Ying Bao ran out of the house and then turned back and asked Zhou Wuchang: "Master, has Pei Shixian started to take advantage of Dongchen Village?"
Zhou Wuchang: "?"
"People who go to my shop today to buy things always ask if my fruits were given magic by Master Pei Tian."
