Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Hatred

In the past, Qin Run was forced by life and was surrounded by rumors. His eyes were like pearls covered with dust, as quiet as a cold pond, with an indescribable vicissitude of life that had worn away his passion.

But there was one thing Xu Yunfan had to admit, the Qin Run in the past was someone who made him feel distressed and loving, but the Qin Run now was someone who made his blood boil and his passion surge to the point where he could hardly control himself.

"Xu Yunfan, you are so awesome!" Qin Run has said this kind of flowery words many times. Qin Run racked his brains to praise Xu Yunfan for being awesome, but his vocabulary was too limited. He couldn't think of any other words no matter how hard he tried. Finally, he thought of what Xu Yunfan liked and couldn't help but pull Xu Yunfan's white sleeve.

"Huh? What's wrong?" He felt something pulling on his sleeve, and Xu Yunfan subconsciously looked over.

Qin Run didn't dare to look at Xu Yunfan, even though they had been intimate many times. But every time he got close to Xu Yunfan, Qin Run would still blush and his heart would beat so fast that he couldn't even control himself. He didn't even dare to look at Xu Yunfan.

Xu Yunfan, who was addicted to close contact with him, had eyes full of desire that was difficult to conceal but was being controlled with great effort.

Xu Yunfan's forced self-restraint and his heavy breathing that was almost out of control when he was filled with lust, both the voice and the person were like a demon luring people into the abyss. If you look at him for a second longer, you will be bewitched and fall into an irretrievable situation.

But Qin Run was not afraid. He wanted to fall into this hopeless place, but Xu Yunfan was not old enough.

Therefore, every time they had close contact, Qin Run didn't dare to look at Xu Yunfan too much, for fear that he would lose control and counterattack, or force himself on her. Xu Yunfan would probably cry for a long time then.

It’s not that Qin Run had not been so bold as to kiss Xu Yunfan before, but he lacked experience and couldn’t control the strength and position well. He also felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he couldn’t wait to kiss Xu Yunfan’s soft lips. In the end, they kissed each other’s noses first, and Xu Yunfan’s eyes were sparkling with tears because of the pain.

Later, Xu Yunfan was almost always the one who initiated their intimate contact.

There was no way around it. After experiencing the pain once, Xu Yunfan still remembered it vividly.

Qin Run's shy look awakened the fragments that Xu Yunfan had deliberately buried in the corner of his memory, and he immediately understood Qin Run's intention of pulling his sleeve.

"You want to kiss me?"

Xu Yunfan was a stubborn old man, and he started to show off. He pursed his lips teasingly, and raised Qin Run's chin with one hand, and said with a teasing look in his eyes: "Come on, if you want to kiss, then come. We are an old couple, and we have kissed before. If you want, come here yourself, come."

He hooked his finger at Qin Run and said, "Come and get it. I'm ready. Come and have your favor with me."

Hearing this, Qin Run didn't care about being shy anymore and slapped him with a force that was neither light nor heavy, which made Xu Yunfan laugh for a long time. Then he looked at Qin Run seriously with a smile in his eyes, but with utmost tenderness. After a while, he held Qin Run's face with both hands, as if he were treating some rare and priceless treasure, and kissed Qin Run with great tenderness.

Qin Run was almost unable to breathe from the kiss, until Xu Yunfan let him go, and then he was able to take a deep breath of fresh air.

After Qin Run recovered, Xu Yunfan noticed that Qin Run was hesitant to speak, so he spoke first, "I know you want to praise me, but you don't know how to praise me. So you just want to give me a kiss, right?"

"Well, Yunfan, you can actually make paper. How come you can do everything? My little husband is really amazing."

He is so outstanding that it is hard not to feel ashamed and inferior when facing such a person.

Xu Yunfan really wanted to be proud of himself, but he didn't have the face to do so.

In today's world of advanced internet and the explosion of short videos, is there anything that cannot be learned online?

Xu Yunfan was too embarrassed to say how good he was, so he just said vaguely, "This isn't difficult. I have a video teaching how to do this with every step clearly explained. However, your husband is smart and has a photographic memory. He remembered it after watching it once."

"So you want to make paper and sell it to the Qi family?" Qin Run immediately understood Xu Yunfan's intention.

They make paper in the village and no one will take advantage of them, after all, the Qin family will keep it a secret. But if they sell paper, something unpredictable might happen.

If they sell paper themselves, it is hard to say whether they will be targeted and suppressed by others.

By cooperating with the Qi family and having Huangshang as a partner, other merchants have to consider whether they can withstand the pressure from Huangshang before they want to attack them.

"Well, what do you think?" Xu Yunfan nodded.

What else can we do? This cooperation is naturally excellent.

Qin Run immediately asked Xu Yunfan how to make paper and how long it would take to make it. Xu Yunfan said, "That depends on what materials you use."

Materials such as larch, bamboo, reed straw, wheat straw, rice straw, flax, jute, etc. can all be used to make paper. From preparing the raw materials to drying the paper, the time required will naturally vary depending on the materials, ranging from several months to a year and a half. Therefore, if you want to make a profit in this business, you have to wait for half a year.

Xu Yunfan carefully wrote down the steps of papermaking, and clearly explained how to process each raw material, making it easy to understand at a glance.

Qin Run felt his heart pounding as he held these papers. He didn't care about anything else and started reading them page by page. After finishing, he carefully put the papers close to his body. He wanted to take them back and put them together with the recipes Xu Yunfan had written for him and the papers for making other foods. He had planned to pass these things on to his descendants as heirlooms a hundred years later.

Seeing Qin Run putting several pieces of paper close to his body, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but smile, "Run'er, actually, not only can I read and write well, but I'm also very good at painting. If you want to learn, you can learn from me and I'll teach you."

"What?" Qin Run realized what Xu Yunfan meant belatedly and immediately laughed. He deliberately teased Xu Yunfan, "But he's good-looking. Who wouldn't like to take a second look at a good-looking person?"

Xu Yunfan: “…”

Is Jiang Yunshen good looking?

Can it be better looking than him?

Isn’t it said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?

Isn't he the best looking one in Qin Run's eyes?

That's impossible!

"Run'er, don't look at her, look at me."

Xu Yunfan frowned imperceptibly, then put his face in front of Qin Run, pointed at his flawless face and said, "Qin Run, look at me, I'm prettier than him. Look at my face, don't I have a single pore? There aren't even any acne marks. My eyes and nose are also very beautiful. Look at me, why do you keep looking at him? Am I not good enough for you to look at?"

The jealous smell of Xu Yunfan's words spread from ten miles away, and his little appearance, which looked aggrieved, was particularly pitiful.

Seeing this, Qin Run was so amused that he coaxed softly: "I was lying to you, you are the most beautiful, and my little husband is the most handsome." After all, he is a peerless little fairy boy, how can other ordinary people compare to him.

After Xu Yunfan was praised by Qin Run and kissed by him to satisfy his craving, Xu Yunfan happily left the room and went to find Qi Xiu Ze.

Qi Xiu Ze took Qi Xiu Yuan to rent a room in the town, and talked a lot with Qi Xiu Yuan, which made Qi Xiu Yuan feel distressed. He took out money again and again, and finally put nearly a thousand taels into Qi Xiu Ze's pocket. Only then did Qi Xiu Ze stop saying how pitiful he was.

Qi Xiu Ze was delighted with the money and in a good mood. When he saw Xu Yunfan, he smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. "Yunfan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's important. Let's go to my dormitory and talk!"

Xu Yunfan felt that some of the students today were a bit strange. As they walked along, they looked at him with inquiring eyes and a kind of regretful expression of "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person". Xu Yunfan didn't think too much about it. He just felt that standing outside was not suitable for discussing business.

At this moment, Xu Yunfan didn't know that because of the incident with Master Qian and Master Pei, the students who were present and heard the truth of the incident naturally supported Xu Yunfan, but the students who were not present didn't know that after "hearsay", the matter was distorted and then exaggerated by people with ulterior motives, and it became Xu Yunfan bullying.

If Xu Yunfan hadn't been bullying others by taking advantage of his power, would the dean have ignored the matter, cleared Xu Yunfan's name, and allowed it to ferment?

Haven’t you seen that the dean hasn’t stood up to say a word yet?

Some students thought they were blind and thought Xu Yunfan was harmless. As expected, some people are beasts in appearance. They look bright and beautiful on the outside, but their souls are extremely dirty on the inside.

They really got the wrong person.

Li Yunfei looked at the backs of Xu Yunfan and Qi Xiu Ze, the good brothers, disappearing around the corner with their arms around each other, and he was so angry that his gums almost broke.

I originally thought that what Xu Yunfan said before about knowing Xie Baizhou and others from Qingfeng Academy was a lie, but now, Li Yunfei could no longer deceive himself.

He only went to the county town to visit his cousin Li Yunqi for about ten days, and then went out to learn books and make friends with Li Yunqi. He came back after nearly a month, so how come Qingfeng Academy has changed so much?

It was bad enough that the former Qingyu Inn was replaced by a canteen, but what was even more difficult for Li Yunfei to accept was that Xu Yunfan actually became the teacher of their academy.

Xu Yunfan fired Sun Dahe before he even entered the academy. Wasn't this a warning or a warning to him?

If Xu Yunfan was just a canteen owner, he would be a businessman. If he passed the imperial examination and became an official, he would be an official. People from wealthy families would have to bow down and kneel down to carry their luggage when they saw an official. Xu Yunfan was nothing.

Whenever Xu Yunfan saw him in the future, he would have no choice but to kneel down.

But Xu Yunfan is not just a merchant, he is also a teacher.

This time, Li Yunfei felt unhappy about being suppressed.

Back then, he was the only student in Dali Village and enjoyed a very glorious life. But then Xu Yunfan came and everything changed.

Li Yunfei naturally had no good feelings towards the person who stole his limelight. After returning to the academy, he felt even more unhappy when he heard other students praising Xu Yunfan.

I still remember that after Li Yunfei came back from the county town, because he knew the process of the college entrance examination, Li Yunfei was confident of winning and felt that he could do it. Once he passed the examination and became a scholar, he would be able to avenge Xu Yunfan's humiliation.

But when she got home, Li Xiaohua started crying and complained to Li Yunfei, "Third brother, you have to take charge of Xiaohua!"

"What's wrong? Tell your third brother quickly, who bullied you? Your third brother will help you deal with him, and see if he dares to bully our Xiaohua in the future." Li Xiaohua is the youngest child and the only girl in the family. Her brothers have loved her since she was a child. Naturally, Li Yunfei loves his only sister very much.

Knowing that her third brother would make the decision for her, Li Xiaohua finally burst into laughter and told him about Sun Dahe's dismissal. At the end, she continued crying, "Third brother, Dahe is your brother-in-law. He has lost his job, and he will have a hard time making ends meet with the ten acres of land he owns. How will I live?"

It’s Xu Yunfan again.

Could it be that Xu Yunfan was born to be unlucky for their Li family?

Why are all the troubles in the Li family related to Xu Yunfan?

Li Yunfei suppressed the rage boiling in his heart and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother won't let him continue to be so arrogant. I will avenge you."

He was so confident in what he said that when he returned to the academy and learned that Xu Yunfan was actually the teacher of Class C6, Li Yunfei was slapped in the face.

The cafeteria was run by Xu Yunfan and that ugly guy Qin Run. Li Yunfei would rather throw the copper coins into the stinking ditch than give them to them.

As a result, eating lunch every day became a torture for Li Yunfei.

What was the Li family's financial situation like? Even with the occasional help from his uncle, Li Baohe, Li Yunfei had spent all his money during his month-long study tour. Before returning home, his pockets were cleaner than his face. Before coming to the academy, Li Baoshan had only given him a few hundred coins.

Li Baoshan had no idea how much money studying abroad cost, and he had no idea that Li Yunfei was pretending to be rich for the sake of face, so he squandered all the dozens of taels of silver given to him by Li Baohe and the few taels of silver given to him by Li Baoshan.

A few hundred wen may seem like a lot, but it's not enough to have a few meals in town.

Li Yunfei knew that he had spent too much money, so he naturally didn't dare tell Li Baoshan and the others when he got home.

After all, his two elder brothers are already married, and his two sisters-in-law are not easy to deal with either. If it weren't for the fact that he has a good chance of passing the imperial examination and the whole family is supporting his studies, I don't know how many times the family would have made a fuss.

If they knew that he spent dozens of taels of silver in just one month when he was away, his two sisters-in-law would probably be furious. Once they made a fuss, the Li family would have a bad reputation in the end, and wouldn't he, a scholar, be the one who suffered the most?

In order to save some money, Li Yunfei would only eat a bowl of wonton when he went out to eat. As a result, his roommate in the dormitory was so unkind that he actually packed up such delicious food and asked him if he wanted one?

If you want it, hurry up and buy it in the cafeteria, otherwise it will be sold out if you are late.

It was because of Xu Yunfan that he suffered so much. Li Yunfei secretly hated him and secretly wanted to make trouble for Xu Yunfan. Now, when he finally encountered the incident of Master Qian, Li Yunfei felt that the opportunity had come.

After Li Yunfei's exaggeration, Xu Yunfan has become a person that people know but not his true nature.

Xu Yunfan, who seemed unaware that his reputation had become ruined, was still discussing business with Qi Xiu Ze.

"What's wrong? Is there something you can't say outside that you have to call me to your dormitory? Why are you making it so mysterious?" Qi Xiu Ze sat down on the only chair in the dormitory without any hesitation.

There were no other stools available, so Xu Yunfan could only sit on the outside of the bed. He lowered his voice and said, "Of course I have something to tell you. I have a business deal that I'd like to collaborate with your Qi family on. I wonder if you're interested."

It doesn’t matter whether they are interested or not. What matters is that the person they want to cooperate with is Xu Yunfan.

Who is Xu Yunfan?

That person may become his cousin in the future.

Even if he is not interested in this matter, he will be interested.

Qi Xiu Ze: "Wait, wait, let me guess, could it be that you want to do a food business with our Qi family? Oh, right, I told my second brother about the blackboard thing, and he said he'll have the contract ready in the next few days and bring it to you to discuss."

"Hmm." Xu Yunfan hooked his finger, asking Qi Xiu Ze to come closer. "The business I want to cooperate with you in isn't about food, but paper."

"Paper? What paper?" Qi Xiu Ze seemed to have no idea what Xu Yunfan was talking about.

Xu Yunfan patted Qi Xiu Ze's head. "What kind of paper? Of course, it's the white paper with black words on it. I've inquired about this stuff, and it's very expensive. How about we work together to make money? I'll make paper and you'll sell it. Then, I guarantee we'll make a lot of money."

"Yunfan, are you kidding me?" Qi Xiu Ze was a little upset.

Damn it, how could he stay calm about this?

Why is white paper from the Dayan Dynasty so expensive?

Of course it’s not that they don’t know how to do it, but the raw materials for papermaking are hard to find, and producing white paper takes a long time and a lot of labor, so the paper is naturally sold at a high price.

How many poor students cannot afford to go to school? The high tuition fee is one reason, and the strict entrance examination is another reason. There are also limited colleges, private schools, and teachers, etc. But it is undeniable that a large part of the reason is that pens, ink, paper, and inkstone are not cheap!

A good brush starts at a few taels, and paper isn't outrageously expensive, but as a student, do you need to practice calligraphy?

How can you practice calligraphy without wasting paper?

In the Dayan Dynasty, one cut of hemp paper cost six hundred wen, and one cut of Xuan paper cost nine hundred wen. One cut of paper was equal to one hundred sheets, so one sheet of paper cost six wen. A man who was lucky enough to find work could only earn twenty wen for a day's hard labor, but one sheet of hemp paper cost six wen. What kind of concept is this?

Anyway, the concept is not important. What is important is that many people cannot afford to go to school because of this.
