It is impossible for ordinary people to accept using bamboo paper to wipe their mouths. Paper is precious, and even the powerful and wealthy may not dare to use it to wipe their mouths.
Only the royal family could afford it. The kind of wooden prize paper used to wipe the mouth and go to the toilet had a more complicated production process.
"I'll go to the bamboo forest this afternoon and explain to you the specific differences in the production process for each type of bamboo paper. You'll just be responsible for the overall process."
"Okay, Madam Su, I'll go back to the bamboo forest now."
"Wait, catch a fish and bring it back."
After Wang Yunhe left with a large carp in his hand, Feng Jinyu brought Xiao Xier into the pavilion and asked curiously, "Xiao Yu, did you buy the bamboo forest to make paper?"
Xiao Lingyu:!!!!!!
She didn't want Feng Jinyu to know about this. She knew too much. Wouldn't that make Feng Jinyu suspect that she was not the original owner?
"Yes, I told the government that I was building a bamboo house to hide my identity. Bamboo grows fast. One day during my mourning period, I suddenly had an idea: could I make paper from bamboo? Later, on the way to Guihua Village during my exile, I passed by several papermaking workshops, and that's when I became determined to make paper from bamboo. Now I'm still trying to make paper. If I can succeed, I can make a fortune from bamboo paper. If not, I'll just treat it as a hobby."
Feng Jinyu was a little surprised when he heard this. It turned out that he didn't read it from the book collection.
"It should be possible to make bamboo paper. I know something about papermaking. It's just that the raw material for papermaking is bamboo instead of wood."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "You are right. Once the bamboo paper is successfully made, I will send someone to Cangnan County to deliver it to you..."
"Uncle Huaiyuan, when I go to the county one day, can I go to Yunqi Academy to find you?" Su Ningwen and Wu Huaiyuan walked out of the large flat one after another.
"Sure. If you don't understand something, you can always come to Yunqi Academy to find me. I'll show you around. You're such a bookworm, you'll love it. There are introductory classes there, so I suggest you go there and study."
"Mother, next spring I will pass the examination and become a student. Can I go to the academy to study?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded: "Of course."
"That's great. Uncle Huaiyuan is my senior now. From now on, I can look for Uncle Huaiyuan in the academy..." to study.
As Su Ningwen was speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He would still see Wu Huaiyuan in the academy next year, so doesn't that mean he won't pass the imperial examination this year?
Su Ningwen didn't dare to speak for a moment. He glanced at Wu Huaiyuan's expression and didn't see any unnatural expression on his face. He just saw him smiling gently.
"Third brother, you are very smart. Maybe you can get a small first place in the case."
While guiding Su Ningwen in the room, he found that he was very talented, had a strong ability to understand things, and understood things quickly. He was even smarter and more studious than he was in his youth.
Xiao Lingyu said, "Mr. Wu, I'd like to thank you for your good wishes. We will take the exam next spring and need you to guarantee my eldest, second, and third sons."
Wu Huaiyuan, "I will go back and write three insurance policies later, but they still need to be signed by the five children."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Wu. I will find a way to make the five children become friends."
Now Miao Xiantong is still the county magistrate of Xishui County. It would be a waste not to use the back door. The students on government academy have guaranteed that the five students are bound by each other just to prevent the candidates from cheating. I can only ask Lord Miao to help find the candidates who will take the examination for students next year.
"Mrs. Su, then don't bother me anymore and I'll go back now."
After Wu Huaiyuan left, Feng Jinyu asked, "Is Wu Xiucai ready to leave this year?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "I heard from the children that he took the imperial examination several times but failed."
Xiao Xier echoed, "Yes, godfather. The uncles and aunts in the village said that he passed the imperial examination to become a scholar when he was a teenager, and was the top scorer in the imperial examination that year, but he just couldn't pass the imperial examination to become a juren."
Feng Jinyu frowned as he thought of Wu Huaiyuan's face. He was arranging people to investigate the case of the Cui family, the second prince's maternal grandfather, who was framed. He suspected that there was something fishy about it. What happened between him and the Xiao family was most likely the work of the second prince.
The Cui family is a prominent family in Huayang County. In the past twenty years, the Cui family has produced more top scholars than the Meng family. However, although these top scholars of the Cui family can read, their abilities are average. Although the Meng family's knowledge is not as strong as the Cui family, they are very capable.
Seeing Feng Jinyu was lost in thought, Xiao Lingyu asked, "Did you think of something?"
"If Wu Xiucai is not on the list again this time, let him use the ticket to ask for his exam paper. If he thinks the examiner's judgment is unfair, he can go to the capital and appeal to the Ministry of Rites."
Xiao Lingyu said, "I remember that after taking the exam, candidates had no chance to get their test papers back."
“This year, yes.”
Xiao Lingyu stared at Feng Jinyu without blinking. Was it you who suggested your father to issue this order?
Feng Jinyu understood the meaning in Xiao Lingyu's eyes and said, "Just as you thought."
After the last national imperial examination, Feng Jinyu felt that the Cui family always won the top spot every year, but their political achievements were not good and their abilities were average. He had long had doubts about this, so he asked the old emperor for this order, which was also to give those students who failed the exam a chance to appeal and turn things around.
"Xiao Xi'er, go with your third brother and see when lunch will be served."
"good."
After Xiao Lingyu sent the two kids away, Feng Jinyu briefly told Xiao Lingyu about his suspicions about the Second Prince and the Cui family.
"Xiao Yu, you are now in Huayang County. Try to avoid the Cui family. If the Cui family causes you trouble, you can seek help from the Meng family. After all, you are still the Protector of the Country."
Xiao Lingyu was in a heavy mood. If it was the Second Prince's doing, she would need to secretly investigate the Cui family. The Xiao family, young and old, were still living a hard life in exile. She needed to find evidence to allow the Xiao family to return to the capital.
The throne of Beiyi must not fall into the hands of the second prince under any circumstances. Feng Jinyu is more suitable for that position.
"I will leave you two secret guards when I leave. You can use them as you wish."
If Feng Jinyu hadn't told her about the Cui family, she wouldn't have wanted these two secret guards. But now she has no choice because she needs them to investigate the Cui family.
"Thank you, Jinyu. Where are they? I can recognize their faces."
"They will arrive at Luoxia Cottage tomorrow, and I will summon them out then."
"Okay, you stay here tonight. We'll go back to the county together tomorrow morning. I'll take you to the bamboo forest in the afternoon."
Half an incense stick later, the farm dish that Su Xingyi had been talking about was served on the table.
Su Xingyi smiled and said, "Jinyu, does this table of farmhouse dishes look appetizing?"
Feng Jinyu looked at the farm dishes in front of him and smiled inexplicably.
I have eaten pheasant, rabbit, beef and other dishes at Luoxia Cottage.
However, the dishes in front of me are not served on exquisite plates, but in medium-sized basins, which look particularly generous and simple.
"Brother Su, this looks very appetizing, it should taste very good." Feng Jinyu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Then I won't be polite."
Feng Jinyu watched the Su family members eating with big mouthfuls of food, and put aside his usual polite manner when eating, and learned to eat like them.
To be honest, this farm meal was delicious.
