When the two arrived home, it was already the end of Shen Shi, which was around five o'clock in the afternoon. The winter day was shorter, and it basically started to dark around three o'clock in the morning.

Seeing the two of them return safely, Xiao Wei finally let go of her heart, but her eyes were still filled with complaints and blame.

"Second sister, look, we have cooked two pheasants today, one for braised, the other for stewing soup, and some dried mushrooms, which is the most nourishing. Second sister will drink more later, so I can give birth to a big fat nephew for me soon!"

Wei Yun pulled the little Wei's arm and said as if he offered treasure.

"You little brat, you know how to tease me!" He stretched out his finger and pressed Wei Yun's forehead. A few red clouds climbed onto the beautiful face of Xiao Wei.

Ding Jian rubbed the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "I'll go and clean up these two pheasants first!"

As he said that, he went straight into the kitchen and prepared to take out bloody hair.

Xiao Wei hurriedly followed: "I'll boil water!"

The Wei family kitchen is very large, with two large pots and one small pot on the stove.

The couple had a clear division of labor and had a very tacit cooperation, so they didn't need Wei Yun's help at all.

Not long after, a delicious and steaming supper was served on the table.

Originally, Wei Yun made the purpose of bows and arrows to see how he could bring some extra income to his family, but unexpectedly, his brother-in-law burned carbon for more than half a month and directly took back four taels of silver.

My second sister is also a great one. In the two months before the New Year, she traveled to Yangzhou City three times and sold a lot of the embroidery work she accumulated to Xiufang, and brought back five taels of silver.

In addition to the five taels of silver left by David before the New Year, it cost three taels of gold to buy New Year's goods. Now the Wei family has a total of ten taels of gold to deposit.

The more than 2,000 kilograms of rice in the warehouse, as well as the glutinous vegetables (cabbage) and radish grown in the five-point vegetable field in the backyard.

Wei Yun also stopped hunting and earned money. Not only was the danger high, but his income was unstable. If he encountered a big prey, he might have to spend his own money.

So Wei Yun now simply regards hunting as an exercise activity. On weekdays, he and Ding Jian only wander around five or six miles near the village, never going deeper.

But the result of this is that the two of them have gained very little.

In the next few days, Wei Yun would basically pull Ding Jian to the edge of Qingniu Mountain every day, and basically gain some harvest every day, sometimes a pheasant, sometimes a hare or two, and often return empty-handed. He had never seen the slightly larger wild game before.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, just after the Lantern Festival, at the beginning of the Mao hour, after breakfast, Wei Yun and Ding Jian, under the urging of Xiao Wei, got on their own ox cart and headed towards Yangzhou City.

It was the heifer raised in the backyard and a wooden cart, without a shed.

Although the ox cart was not fast, it was still very bumpy. Wei Yun sat on the cart, and his butt was a little sore. Wei Yun simply jumped down and walked on one side of the ox cart.

Of course, my brother-in-law Ding Jian was driving. Along the way, many people also rushed to Yangzhou City.

After Wei's ox cart sat on Wei Yun and Xiao Wei family, there was still a lot of space, so he took a few villagers who went to Yangzhou City with him.

The fare for one person is two cents, and the distance of more than thirty miles is not high.

If you want to study, you naturally have to give your husband a bunch of food. You have bacon at home, but there are not many dried fruits at home, so you have to go to Yangzhou city to buy them.

At three o'clock, the ox cart arrived at Qingtan Academy on the outskirts of the city. After Lantern Festival, the academy resumed classes.

Through the courtyard wall, you can also hear the sound of Lang reading from inside.

The concierge reported to the gentleman, and then took three people and Shu Xiu to the academy.

The people were greeted by a middle-aged man in his thirties and a wisp of goat whiskers. He was not tall, a little thin, and pretty, and had a strong sense of bookishness on his body.

"This is Master Qin from the academy!" said the concierge, "Master, they are here to send their children to school!"

Wei Yun bowed to Mr. Qin and said aloud: "Wei Yun from Daoxiangcun, I have met Mr.!"

Mr. Qin looked at Wei Yun in surprise and said, "Daoxiangcun? The surname is Wei? Could it be that you are the family of Xiucai Wei?"

Wei Yun said: "Mr., the scholar Wei you mentioned is exactly your father!"

Mr. Qin nodded, his eyes turned around Wei Yun, and said, "I have met Ling Zun several times. I know his talent. It is not difficult for him to pass the imperial examination. It is a pity!"

When talking about Wei’s father, Xiao Wei and his wife both showed a hint of sadness on their faces. Wei Xiucai’s literary talent was actually very good, and it was enough to take the imperial examination. Unfortunately, a series of things happened at home later.

First, his wife Xu passed away, leaving behind two young daughters and a baby Wei Yun. In order to handle his wife's funeral and take care of his young children, Wei Xiucai missed the autumn examination that year.

However, after finally waiting for the autumn examination three years later, Xiucai Wei himself fell down. The disease lasted for another three years, but he still couldn't get over it.

Xiao Wei said: "Sir, my father wanted to send Brother Yun to the academy before he was alive. Unfortunately, my father has been bedridden for three years, so he can only postpone the matter. My father always regretted this matter when he was alive.

Before his death, he entrusted the matter to the little woman, and the little woman thought of sending Yun Ge'er into the academy to comfort my father's spirit in heaven and hoped that the gentleman would fulfill his accomplishment."

Mr. Qin stroked his beard, looked at the simple couple, and the slightly thin Wei Yun, and sighed: "You are so mean!"

He also said to Wei Yun: "Although I have an old age with your father, I will not be favored by it. If you want to enter the academy, you can only rely on yourself!"

Wei Yun bowed with shamelessness and said, "Student understands, please give me advice!"

"This is calm and good!" Mr. Qin nodded and said, "How old are you?"

Wei Yun: "Mr. Hui, the student is ten years old this year!" According to the algorithm of the ancients, after looking back, Wei Yun was ten years old and eleven years old.

Mr. Qin: "What books have you read?" There is a scholar's father at home who wants to send him to the academy, so he has naturally enlightened him.

Wei Yun said: "I have read the Analects of Confucius, the University, the Doctrine of the Mean, and some contents of Zuo Zhuan!"

This time it was Mr. Qin's turn to be surprised: "Oh? But what Ling Zun gave me?" He looked at Wei Yun with a little surprise.

Wei Yun shook his head: "My father only taught students a few Analects of Confucius and fell ill. The students followed him and read them themselves in their spare time. They only read them thoroughly and did not know the true meaning!"

Wei Yun replied that Mr. Qin was quite satisfied, neither humble nor arrogant, and had a reasonable and well-founded look! He did not become proud and complacent because of this, and his mentality was quite good.

Next, Mr. Qin picked a few articles from these books for Wei Yun to recite, and Wei Yun recited them one by one.

Another one was drawn from the Analects of Confucius and asked Wei Yun to write an essay on the spot. Half an hour later, the young Master Qin looked at Wei Yun's article, with his correct handwriting and neat test paper, nodded, and happily accepted the student.

In addition to the dried meats and fruits, Wei Yun also needs to bring basic things such as pens, ink, paper and ink.

That was five taels of silver. Some poor families earned less than five taels of silver a year. It can be seen that in this era, the preciousness of studying has blocked countless poor children outside the door.

However, the five taels of silver also include Wei Yun's food and accommodation in the academy and dormitories in the academy.

But whether to live in the academy dormitory depends on the students' wishes. Wei Yun chose to live at home, but it was only more than twenty miles away, which was just for exercise.

At night, I can help do things within my ability. More importantly, Wei Yun plans to find some ways to help my family open source and increase some income.

Otherwise, with the more than 30 acres of land in my family, if I encounter a famine and disaster in my family, my family will be in short supply.

After all, if the guard Yun wants to continue to participate in the imperial examinations in the future, it will not be affordable for the output of just 30 acres of land.

After handing over Shu Xiu, the family also deposited the money, and there was only five taels left. If you buy some more things, even less.

However, the house has more than 2,000 kilograms of grain in its warehouse, so it is no problem to eat it until the autumn harvest this year.

When the new grain this year comes down, and then sell the old grain from last year, although the price is not as high as the new grain, it is safe to win. Even if there is a natural disaster or something, it will not be caught off guard.

Moreover, Xiao Wei also has a good embroidery work, which can also bring a lot of income to the family.

Among the four treasures of study used by Wei Yun, except for the newly bought paper, the rest were left by Xiucai Wei.

At the end of the second day, Wei Yun, under the ardent gaze of Xiao Wei and Ding Jian, walked on the way to the academy with his small bookcase on his back and began his study career in this world.

In this way, time slowly passed.

March is coming in a blink of an eye, winter goes and spring comes, and the world is dyed with green patches, new buds and branches, and new grasses break out of the ground. There is a vibrant scene between the world.

Wei Yun has been studying in the academy for almost two months. In these two months, Wei Yun has become more and more aware of the world.

I also have the first pot of gold in my heart, bean sprouts!

Although there are a small amount of bean sprouts circulating on the market now, both the appearance and taste are a bit unsatisfactory.

Compared with the bean sprouts Wei Yun had eaten in his previous life, the difference was not a little bit worse.

The most important thing is that the technique of cultivating bean sprouts is extremely simple, but it is just a bit particular.

In order to convince her sister and brother-in-law, Wei Yun chose to do it himself. During the two days of rest, he used a wooden basin and gauze to release a large pot of soybean sprouts.

After taking the head and washing the tail, a little oil was fried on a plate of bean sprouts. After the family tried it, they found that it was really as Wei Yun said, with a crispy and sweet taste, far better than the bean sprouts on the market.

The next day, Ding Jian went out to take care of the fields, and Wei Yun and Qing Li took the bean sprouts that Wei Yun had produced yesterday to Yangzhou City.

The two of them first went to a restaurant called Zuixianju. Although the siblings were dressed simply, they were clean and tidy, and there were no patches.

The waiter welcomed the two in enthusiastically.

"What do you two want to eat?"

Wei Yun bowed to the little brother and said, "Little brother, we are not here to eat! Instead, we have grown some fresh vegetables and vegetables at home. We want to find a seller. I wonder if my little brother can help us introduce the shopkeeper of your store?"

Seeing Wei Yun's polite look, a embarrassed expression appeared on the waiter's face. He looked around and pulled Wei Yun aside, and whispered: "To be honest, it's useless for you to find our shopkeeper here. Our restaurant is not responsible for purchasing! Moreover, our restaurant usually has special purchasing channels! You are afraid that......"

Wei Yun turned his eyes and realized that in such a large restaurant, there was a dedicated person to take charge of the purchasing task. The shopkeeper was equivalent to the store manager of later generations. As long as they coordinated these things, they would be fine.

Wei Yun took out five copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into his waiter's hand, "Brother, otherwise how about you recommend the purchasing manager or chef of a restaurant?"

Then he leaned against the waiter's ear, tiptoed, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "If things are done, I would like to thank you very much!"

"Please trouble me!"

Xiao Er's eyes turned, his mouth grinned, and a big white teeth appeared, "Okay, I'll ask you about this, but if it's successful or not, I don't dare to make a promise. I'll wait here for a moment!"

It's still morning. Although the restaurant has opened, there is not much business. For catering, the main traffic is lunch and supper.

Generally, people either make breakfast at home or eat buns, steamed buns, pancakes, etc. on the street.

Soon, the waiter came out with a fat man with big ears.
