Chapter 110 Unpredictable
When the store opened, there were not many goods in the store. Zhuhua prepared a batch of red and a batch of white, each with only a few pieces of different sizes, and there was only one female waiter in the store besides Qiuyun. Zhuhua bought servants in private houses, and after teaching them, they specially put them in the shop to entertain guests.

Qiuyun would only come out if the customer asked to see the shopkeeper, but the store has been open for several months, and has never encountered such a thing, and has not even sold a single piece of underwear.Qiuyun would make small clothes in the backyard when she had nothing to do. Although no one bought them, Zhuhua still asked her to make them. Even the only female clerk in the shop was ordered to follow Qiuyun to practice female reds when she had time.

Zhuhua is indeed not in a hurry at all, handmade is so slow, if the shop is too popular all of a sudden, she will be more worried.Knowing that Mrs. Sun, who opened her shop, would be anxious for her, she was worried that her daughter would lose money because the shop didn't make money, like Yinhua did when she met an unlucky person. I will also discipline my intestines and discipline a little bit, and I am relieved, but also a little depressed.This daughter is too sensible, there is nothing for a mother like her to worry about.The only thing she worries about Zhuhua is her marriage, but Yinhua stands in front of her, so she has to make arrangements for Yinhua first.

This year is the year of the big exam, and after the Spring Festival, students from all over the world came to Beijing one after another, and some of them entered Beijing at the end of last year.I have to say that it is beneficial to enter Beijing early, at least you can rent a yard to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and you can go out to participate in poetry conferences and so on, so that you can make a name for yourself in advance, so that the examiners can have a good impression of yourself.In the atmosphere of getting ready for the exam, candidates from Lijiacun and Sunjiacun also entered Beijing.

The schools in the two villages have only been in operation for a few years. Last year, there was only one student who passed the exam and was eligible to go to Beijing for the exam. That was Xu Mu, who had learned calligraphy with Yinhua and Zhuhua in Lijia Village when they were young.But there was another person who came to the exam together, he was Xu Mu's uncle Zhang Liang, he was a teacher in the school in the village.

Zhang Liang loved reading since he was a child, and his teachers have spoken well of him since he was studying. Unfortunately, he once offended the local gentry, and his name was not included in the list of candidates for the court.In order to study, the Zhang family spent a lot of money but still could not see the future. Zhang Liang's three sisters also married hastily because of this. One was captured by bandits during the disaster year. After being rescued, she was abandoned by her husband's family and committed suicide. up.Zhang Liang was disheartened by this, so he simply gave up his idea of ​​becoming an official and opened a private school to make ends meet.

Xu Mu's mother is Zhang Liang's second younger sister. When she heard that her brother had opened a private school, she sent her son there.Later, although the new dynasty was established, the squires in the town who had turned against him were still there. He always thought that his future was hopeless, and he spent his thoughts on teaching his clever nephew.

Later, the news of the imperial examination came from the court. After he went to sign up, he was allowed to pass the examination in just one attempt.After passing the exam, he didn't rush to continue the exam, but took Xu Mu to study abroad.When Yinhua returned to her hometown last time, Xu Mu and Zhang Liang were away from home. When they got home, they heard that she was still very disappointed when she came back.Later, Zhuhua also went back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, but this time Xu Mu was there, but Zhuhua was playing wildly outside every day, and he was studying in the town, so he couldn't find a chance to talk, but only found out that Yinhua was not engaged yet.

He also has the fame of Juren now. Although he has little hope of being a Jinshi in the examination this time, he still wants to experience it. The most important thing is to meet Yinhua.Sun once said that if people from the two villages came to Beijing to catch the exam, she would arrange accommodation and carriages.Most of the courtyards of the Cheng Mansion’s rear-covered houses were empty, so it was no problem to live in each person, but the Cheng Mansion was still a little far away from the place where literati gathered, and it would be inconvenient to get in and out without a carriage.

Zhuhua was quite curious when she heard that Xu Mu and his uncle were going to live in Chengfu. She always remembered Xu Mu, the crying child who wanted her to be her younger sister.The last time she met Xu Mu when she returned to her hometown, he stared at her for a long time, making her think that the child was a pedophile or a sister lover.It wasn't until one day that Xu Muniang asked about her sister that she realized it.At that time, she wanted to mention this matter to Yinhua when she returned to Beijing, but she was attacked on the way, and when she returned to the mansion, she was busy looking at Dabao and Erbao, so she forgot.Later, when there was the matter of Jia Zechen, it was even harder for her to mention it.Furthermore, she selfishly disliked Xu Mu's mother and Xu Mu's younger sister, and did not want Yinhua to marry into Xu's family.

After Xu Mu and Zhang Liang moved in, they met Mrs. Sun and were arranged to go to the back room.Cheng Dashan and Qin San are not in the mansion after leaving Chang'an, so they can only be entertained by Mrs. Sun.Seeing that the two of them only brought a book boy, Sun also arranged for two young servants to serve in the courtyard, and also asked the young servants to remember to tell them that they would only enter and exit through the corner gate in the future.Knowing that there is only one boy and three female relatives in the family, the two of them naturally would not come to the front yard rashly. Xu Mu had no chance to see Yinhua after three days in Cheng's residence.

One day, he stood outside the courtyard for a while, just in time to see Zhuhua coming out of the garden gate to the corner courtyard.

"Azhu..." He called out hastily, and felt that something was wrong, after all, Zhuhua was a big girl now, even though she looked like a little girl.

"Isn't this Brother Amu?" Zhuhua turned her head to look at him when she heard the voice, came over to say hello with a smile, and said, "I heard that you and your uncle went to Beijing for the exam. I still can't believe it. You He won the exam at such a young age, he must be quite famous in our town, right?"

"In the town, yes, but Fucheng has a lot more exams than me. My ranking is not very good. It was a fluke last time."

"You literati are too modest. By the way, you can get used to living here. If there is anything in short supply, just tell the boy. Don't be polite. It's not easy to meet folks from the big hometown. Just don't worry, just take it easy. Treat it like your own home."

Xu Mu nodded with a smile, a little surprised that the little girl who used to play with others has become so smart now?I don't know what Yinhua has become now, do you still remember him?He was about to ask, but Zhuhua interrupted him.

"Okay, I won't bother you with your reading, I have to leave first." She bowed and rushed to the yard at the far end.

Xu Mu didn't want to ask her to speak, so he could only sigh, and returned to the yard dejectedly to continue studying hard.

Zhuhua didn't feel relieved until she entered the courtyard where Qinglan lived, she laughed and went directly to the room opposite Qinglan.Now Qinglan and Shixiang are the only two living in this courtyard, so they each have a big room, and Shixiang naturally occupies the better one, euphemistically saying that she needs a room with better light for her embroidery.Qinglan never argued with her, so she gave her the Xiangyang room.

In recent years, in order to hand over the embroidery that Mrs. Sun ordered, Shixiang has been embroidering and embroidering upside down, especially Qinglan will often provide her with some beautiful embroidery pictures. It is said that these pictures are the bead flower paintings of Miss San of.She still likes exquisite clothes and beautiful jewelry, but now she can't get these by relying on others, she can only rely on herself.As long as she pays for the embroidery that can cover her expenses, Mrs. Sun doesn't care if she does other work in private, she will embroider more large embroidery pictures every year to earn some money to buy cloth to make beautiful clothes, or buy beautiful jewelry .Sometimes when Qinglan gets a reward, she will share some with her. As long as she gives up the tea flavor in the reward, Shixiang is very happy.

Mrs. Sun is quite tolerant towards them, and she will let them go out of the house for one day every month, and she will wear the best clothes and go to the street to enjoy the envious eyes of everyone.It's just that there are several times when I encounter frivolous young masters to spoil the fun. She is not the Miss Jiao of the past. When encountering such things, she will not be at a loss, but can go up and scold a few times, even if she is called a shrew afterwards. .Without the encumbrance of the family lintel, she is even more arrogant than before.

On the contrary, there was a time when someone she couldn't think of came out to rescue her. That person was Long Yu, who was supposed to have become a monk.

The temple where Longyu became a monk was the well-known Rushui Nunnery. There were many young nuns in the nunnery. When Longyu became a monk, the abbot was a new one. She had seen Longyu before when she accompanied her mother-in-law to offer incense in the temple.She never thought that Rushui Temple, which was clean on the face, was not clean long ago, but it was too late when she knew it.It was her biological mother who heard the news and found her, took her back to Chang'an City, and placed her in a house behind a brothel.Her biological mother lived in this brothel.After all, she is old, and guests rarely come to her, so she can only help teach newcomers.Longyu secretly went to see her birth mother teaching those ignorant girls, and she didn't feel sympathy for them, but she felt relieved as she should.

A few years later, Longyu became the madam of this brothel, even if her biological mother persuaded her, she couldn't dispel her idea.

Shixiang didn't know what happened in it, she met Longyu on the street, and after hearing others talk about her identity, she hurried back home and told Qinglan.Qing Lan was very puzzled, and only found out what had happened after secretly checking, and she told Sun about it.Mrs. Sun no longer remembered who Longyu was, and when she thought about it, she felt embarrassed, and asked someone to secretly ask her if she had any problems?Longyu asked the man to reply politely, and the two parties did not contact each other after that.

On the contrary, Shixiang was curious for a while, and after a few days, she asked Qinglan once, and she was also moved when she heard what Qinglan said.

"She was also a high-minded person, but she chose such a path, and her innocence was lost in the end. She might as well have stayed in Cheng's mansion back then."

Because of a life lawsuit involving jealousy between a man and a woman last year, the Rushuian incident broke out.Now the reputation of Rushui Temple has been completely ruined, and everyone in Chang'an City knows that it is a place where men and women mix privately.Later, all the people in the nunnery were sentenced to be stripped of their clothes in public to be punished with sticks, and they were exiled for three thousand miles, which was considered a heavy punishment.As for the abbot, I heard that he died shortly after being imprisoned.Qinglan vaguely guessed that there was also Longyu's handwriting in it, but who would care if it was true or not?

 Sigh Longyu~
