After measuring the sizes, the two of them went about their own business. Cheng Chen cut the cloth to make clothes, while Wang Yu took out the homework assigned by the teacher.

The desk was right under the window. The afternoon sunlight shone through the window and hit Wang Yu, as if a layer of golden sand was covering him, and his handsome profile was shining with golden light.

Cheng Chen looked up and saw this scene. He always knew that his husband was handsome, but at this moment, his husband looked so unreal. Cheng Chen raised his hand and made a light grab, trying to catch him in his hand.

She looked down at the cloth in her hand and thought that this was clothes made for her husband. She felt satisfied and smiled unconsciously.

Wang Yu was writing a poem at the moment, and had no idea what her husband was thinking. She had taken a walk by the river in the morning, and now she was feeling inspired. She quickly wrote a five-character regulated verse. It felt great to have it done in one go, and it was much more enjoyable than her previous poems which were pieced together in a hasty manner!

After finishing her homework, she stood up and looked at her husband sewing with his head down. She felt so soft-hearted that she walked over, took the cloth and said, "Okay, you've been sewing for a long time. Get up and stretch your body."

Cheng Chen also obediently put down the fabric and needle and thread, took Wang Yu's hand and stood up. After moving around for a while, he heard Wang's mother calling him to eat outside. The two looked at each other and went out together. In the evening, Cheng Chen specially washed his face with bath beans. It was cleaner than washing it directly with water. After washing, his face was very smooth and had a faint fragrance.

Wang Yu stepped forward to take a look. The child was young, but his skin was not only fair but also very delicate. After washing, it shone in the candlelight and had a faint fragrance. He asked, "Is it good?"

Her husband was very close to her face at this moment, and the breath of his words hit her face. Cheng Chen lowered his head shyly and hummed. Wang Yu could see with his own eyes that her husband's cheeks turned pink. Wang Yu stared at him in amazement. He was so cute and so easily shy. Wang Yu couldn't help but move forward and kiss his cheek.

Cheng Chen's face was as red as a cooked shrimp, and he didn't know what to do. Wang Yu smiled and stopped teasing him. He took his hand and they both lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

After the two-day holiday, Wang Yu came to the academy with his homework. During this period, Chen Yanwen came relatively early. In the morning, the two of them would check each other's contents in the Four Books and Five Classics, including recitation, interpretation, and debate, and then discuss the skills of writing poetry to improve each other. Learning together is very efficient, and of course Chen Yanwen's progress is more obvious.

In the remaining time, Wang Yu started with "The Analects of Confucius", copying and understanding at the same time. This not only helped him practice his calligraphy but also deepened his memory. He would copy down the parts he couldn't understand and ask the teacher for advice.

"Brother Wang is here, come and see the poem I wrote?" Chen Yanwen said as he took out the poem he wrote and gave it to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu looked at it and was surprised. Chen Yanwen's poetry writing had improved a lot recently, just like opening up his Ren and Du meridians. He praised him, "Very good!"

"What's good? Bring it here for me to see." The teacher's voice came from the door. When the teacher approached, Wang Yu stepped forward and handed over Chen Yanwen's poem. Teacher Song picked it up and took a look. He was very pleased. This disciple couldn't write any poems in the past few months, but he made such great progress this month. He is a teachable kid.

"Well, there has been progress, but you can't slack off. How about you?" Master Song touched his beard and said, then turned to look at Wang Yu. Wang Yu took his homework and handed it over, then saw the master nodded and breathed a sigh of relief!

"This time the writing is good, the poem has some spirit! The rhythm and parallelism are neat, and it is easy to read. It looks like it was written in one go." The teacher muttered to himself. He didn't know what was wrong with this disciple. His essays had improved a lot, but his poetry had regressed. However, the poem was written well today, so he didn't intend to say anything to them.

"Alright, everything went well today. The Tongsheng Academy is about to have an exam. We haven't been here often lately, so you all need to be more conscientious and encourage each other!"

They were both very happy to be praised. After waiting for the teacher to leave, Chen Yanwen started gossiping and said mysteriously, "I heard that the teacher's son is going to participate in this year's child exam."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Wang Yu asked in confusion.

"Master's son is only twelve years old!" After saying that, Cheng Yanwen made the number twelve to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu also lamented that children in ancient times had a hard time studying. Modern twelve-year-old children are still in the sixth grade of elementary school and only know how to play. However, the children here start their enlightenment at the age of three or four, reciting and practicing calligraphy every day, and have to take such rigorous exams at such a young age!

Then Chen Yanwen said, "I heard that he should try it out this year, but it's also very impressive!"

After listening to this, Wang Yu could only sigh that it was not easy to be a scholar in this era. He then recited the contents of "The Great Learning" with Chen Yanwen and checked each other. Perhaps stimulated by this, Chen Yanwen was particularly energetic today and recited without a break for the whole morning.

In the afternoon, he went to the restaurant to do the accounts as usual. On the third day, Brother Cheng came to him and said that the food had been bought. Wang Yu took a day off and took the wine yeast to Xiling Village.

Winemaking requires selecting grains, choosing high-quality grains, and crushing them. In this era, there were no machines and everything relied on manual labor, which was a huge workload. Wang Yu planned to hire two people to do it. They would steam the grains, add Daqu, and store them in the warehouse for fermentation to obtain the wine. Then they would distill the wine again and store it in the warehouse for aging. Finally, they would blend it and put it in jars. The fastest time would be half a year, and the longest aging time would require a year. Of course, it could take even longer!

I also told my eldest brother to hire two people and asked him to take charge of the arrangements. As long as they are diligent and not dishonest, they will be fine.

Until the end of May, Wang Yu went to the winery to teach them how to brew wine after finishing his shift at the restaurant every day. He went out early and came back late. He also took the time to spend eight taels of silver to buy a mule cart, otherwise it would be very inconvenient to rent a car every time.

During this period, Wang Yu lived in Cheng's house. Of course, her husband also went back to her parents' home to live with her. Wang Yu fulfilled his promise to Cheng Chen that he would stay for two more days, and he stayed for a whole month.

The winery invited two aunts from Xiling Village. One of them was surnamed Zhang and she had spoken to them at the village entrance when she came to Xiling Village for the first time. The other was surnamed Zhou. Both were recommended by Cheng's mother. They were hardworking and not gossipy.

Crushing grains is a strenuous job, and each person earns 500 coins per month. The two aunts are very happy. This salary is equivalent to the work the men can find in the county during the slack season, and it will be a long-term job in the future, so they can get paid every month.

After seeing the first batch of wine being put into storage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy. Wang Yu bought two boxes of pastries and two kilograms of meat in the town and gave them to the two aunts, giving them two days off.

The two aunts didn't expect that there was something else to take, and they kept thanking Wang Yu. In previous years, these cakes were only bought to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year, and meat was only bought during the busy farming season or the Chinese New Year to improve their lives. They didn't expect the host to be so generous.

"Don't thank me, aunties. I see you've done a great job. From now on, you'll have two days off every month, and you'll get benefits on holidays. Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I'll definitely not treat you unfairly."

The two aunts were even happier after hearing this. This treatment was better than working in a wealthy family in the city. They silently decided to work hard and put the gift on the table when they got home. The family members did not expect that after working for a month, they would not only get wages but also such good gifts. While eating meat in the evening, they all praised the kindness of the son-in-law of the Cheng family!
