Chapter 104
The clansman who sent people to learn the craft before wrote back. One of the clansman encountered other opportunities because he could not learn the core skills. This time he seized it.

He went to a family that made vinegar, and they agreed for him to learn this craft. First, they gave money, and second, this is not a small family.

Vinegar making is just one of the industries. They belong to a large family in the Jiangnan farming and studying family. There are quite a few members of the clan who are officials at the grassroots level. Although there are no high-ranking officials, there are several county magistrates.

The reason why I agree with him to learn skills is because I know that his family also has a county magistrate and champion man, which can be regarded as a family of the same status, and is willing to contact many contacts in the officialdom in the future.

This is the second uncle who deliberately found an opportunity to go there in person, and finally negotiated the terms and settled the matter.

However, learning how to make vinegar is not a one-day job, at least it takes a few years to learn. This time, the clansmen plan to learn the skills steadily and take them back to the village after learning.

This is good news. The patriarch's grandfather was overjoyed and rewarded the clan's family with five acres of land. His family bought a high-quality field at a very low price.

Moreover, he has learned the skills to open up new industries for the clan. The patriarch must be reused, and the future of his children and grandchildren will be indispensable in the future.

It took Wenwen a year to embroider another work, which is a whole set of round fans.

The round fan embroidered on both sides is based on the picture of the twelve beauties in Jinling in the Dream of Red Mansions.

Each round fan is a double-sided embroidery of a character, with different postures, movements and clothes expressions, which is very exquisite.

Every girl has a different temperament, but there is no mention of poetry. In ancient times, people were very particular about food, and she was also afraid that others would use some excuses to attack poetry.

It's not easy for her father to take the exam, and the patriarch's grandfather repeatedly explained this question in the ethnology. Poems must never be published, and it's best not to be embarrassed.

There are only characters on the fan without names and others, giving a little room for reverie.

On the fan, each girl's bun clothes, even the embroidery and jewelry on the clothes are all embroidered on the draft after repeated drawing by her, and she has achieved excellence in details.

Twelve hairpins took a year to complete. Each character is different, and they are all double-sided, which is full of appreciation.

Nanny Zhang, the old lady, the second aunt and others gathered around to admire her round fan.

"It's really exquisite, the characters seem to come alive, it's great."

"Wenwen, you embroider so well, do you plan to sell it? It would be a pity to sell it."

The second aunt smashed her mouth and was reluctant to let her sell it.

"I don't sell it, I just like it and play with it."

The round fan is very exquisite, the wooden handle is made of rosewood, the material is made of silk, and the details have been cut to the extreme.

"It's best not to sell, it's so beautiful."

Everyone was full of praise after seeing it.

Zhou Hui got her a beautiful wooden box and put it away for her.

"Wenwen, don't embroider so hard, don't pick out your eyes."

He didn't put the fan out, fearing that if it gets dirty, it will blind her a year's hard work.

"It's okay, I don't embroider for a long time every day, it's just to grind my temper."

"That's good. Don't tire yourself out. Our family is not hard on money. If you like to play, you can play twice, and if you don't like it, just leave it aside."

"Okay, the gift from Hunzi, I specially made it together when I was making the fan."

Wenwen took out a box, which was filled with wood carvings. She carved his zodiac signs, and after painting, she could see the delicacy and spirituality.

"Ah, you've done it, it's so smart and cute, this is Zhu Bajie, hehehehe!"

"Send you this year's birthday gift."

"Okay, I like it so much, I know you love me and think of me."

Zhou Hui was overjoyed, and happily hugged the box to show off to his brothers.

Wang Yi's letter arrived, saying that there is a one-month vacation available this year, and he will come back to celebrate the New Year together before the Chinese New Year.

He also said that he bought two more shops and a house, which is next to the house where he lives now. An official transferred them away and needed money, so he simply sold them. If we know each other, we will catch up with the opportunity.

After Wang Yi bought the yard, he opened it up and repaired it. In the future, when the opportunity is right, he can take a family to live together.

Li Hui was in charge of general affairs and family business in the capital, and she did a pretty good job.

In addition to the letter, Wang Yi also sent back a lot of books, which were also books for the clan.

The main reason for coming back this year is that someone from Wangjiacun will go to the scientific examination next year. He wants to ask to see what chances the children in the ethnology have.

In addition, look at the elderly and children, especially Wenwen and Zhou Hui, who cannot do without the teaching of their parents. Whenever he has the opportunity, he must come back for the school exam, and he has to explain a lot of things.

Brother Jian and Brother Shun also want to recognize their father, especially Wenwen, who is most concerned about his son. The son is fine, after all, he is still young, and it is the same for Shangzu to learn to teach two years later.

Wang Yi came back just before Chinese New Year, and first went to visit the patriarch and the old lady of the Lin family. This relationship requires timely visits, lest people feel that the child has drifted away after going to the capital and does not know relatives.

Now that he and the second child of the Lin family are colleagues, the Lin family naturally attaches great importance to it. As for the tone that Lin Ya revealed last time, it was actually the Lin family who were probing, but the old lady Lin didn't mention it, it was impossible.

After visiting the old lady, Wang Yi finally settled down, and brought some gifts to the children with potential in ethnology, and the old people in the village also had gifts.

"Mom, I haven't been home for a year, how are you doing? I brought you some bird's nest and supplements."

Wang Yi respectfully greeted the old lady.

"I'm fine, how about you, are you going well in the capital?"

"It's going well, there are small twists and turns, but the problem is not big, I can handle it."

It was not all smooth sailing for Wang Yi in the capital, as soon as he became the No. [-] scholar, someone came to win him over, but he cleverly used the opportunity of being summoned by the prince to avoid it.

Later, when he went to the Hanlin Academy, he escaped a few waves of standing in line and wooing him, which was rather slippery, but the emperor paid attention to him.

Now I have done a good job in the Hanlin Academy, and I am familiar with it.

"I know it's not easy for you, but no one can help you when you get to this point. On the contrary, the clan expects you a lot more. Have you gone to your second uncle? Let him tell you about many things Bar."

"Tell me everything, don't worry, your son can handle it."

"Well, don't worry at home, Wenwen and Hunzi are looking good now, and they are slowly starting to get in touch with clan affairs, and they are all learning in style."

"You still know how to teach children. We don't have to work hard for you anymore."

In fact, Wang Yi felt a little guilty and anxious towards his daughter. He had treated his children badly because of his career in the two lives, but life is not what you want, they all have to face compromises and choices.

"Being in the village also has the benefits of being in the village. You have to work hard to create more opportunities and stable conditions for the children's future."

"Yes."

After talking earnestly with the old lady, Wang Yi felt more at ease. It seemed that the old lady was more like a lighthouse, and he was more willing to listen to the old man's chatter and give him some guidance and strength.
