Yu Zhizhou was slightly startled, turned his head to look at the carriage, and said through the curtain, "Papermaking? How can I do that?"
Yu Jiao heard Yu Zhizhou sneer, as if saying that her idea was too fantastic.
The papermaking technique was recorded in detail in "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature". Yu Jiao had read it and still had an impression of the method. If it were really put into practice, it would not be too difficult.
But at the moment, she couldn't concentrate on anything else, so she didn't say anything more about papermaking, and changed the subject, "I know a grain store owner in Qiyun County, and they are short of an accountant. If it's not too far, you can give it a try, second brother."
"Qixun County?" Yu Zhizhou was young and not homesick. He had long wanted to go out and see the world. Although Qixun County was not far away, it was also outside Changkui. There was no better job at the moment. He would work as an accountant to earn some money, which was better than staying at home all the time.
Yu Zhizhou didn't think much about it. "Yu Jiao, are you going back to Zhiyun County tomorrow? Then I'll go with you to take a look. If they are willing to use me, I'll do the job first."
Yu Zhizhou had just gotten engaged, and his parents-in-law were determined not to let him go too far away from home. Wang Mengyan said, "Qiyun County is a foreign place after all, so you should go home and discuss it with your parents-in-law."
Yu Zhizhou responded softly outside the car, but he had already made up his mind. Even if his parents stopped him, he had to go. He was going to marry the daughter of the Zhu family next year. If he couldn't find a job to earn money, how would he support his family in the future?
When they were almost home, little Platycodon woke up. It looked timid after just waking up, and nestled in Wang Mengyan's arms, looking so cute and adorable.
After arriving home, Yu Zhizhou went back to the west room and discussed with Zhang Yu Qiaoshan about going to work in Xixun County.
Yu Jiao returned to the east room. The door to the inner room was closed. Yu Jiao guessed that Yu Qizhe was reviewing his lessons, so she did not disturb him.
Song asked a few questions with concern whether her mother and brother were okay. Yu Jiao chatted with her in a low voice for a few words and went back to the side room.
After walking around for half a day, she felt a little tired. She took off her shoes and socks, and lay on the bed to rest for a while. She was thinking about Yang Jiyan's maid buying the Hehuan Powder. She didn't know whether she should remind Yu Qizhe about it.
But if the medicine was not given by Yang Jiyan, her meddling would seem like making trouble out of nothing.
As she was thinking about these random things, Yu Jiao began to doze off, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, Yu Jiao was awakened by the noise in the yard. It seemed that someone had come to the house. She could vaguely hear Yu Ruhai's enthusiastic voice.
Yu Jiao yawned, put on her outer clothes, shoes and socks, and got out of bed. She opened the window and saw County Magistrate Gao standing in the yard. Many people from the Yu family were in the yard, and Yu Qizhe was also standing next to County Magistrate Gao.
County Magistrate Gao patted Yu Qizhe on the shoulder, said something with a smile, and walked out of the courtyard gate with the servant.
The Yu family members followed them out to see them off. Yu Jiao withdrew her gaze, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of cold tea, and drank it slowly.
Not long after, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the house, "Jiaojiao, are you awake?"
When Yu Jiao heard Yu Qizhe's voice, she put down the teacup, responded, and opened the door of the side room.
Yu Qizhe stood at the door of the house. It was already getting dark and Yu Jiao could hardly see the expression on his face.
"But were you tired in Xixun County a few days ago? Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Yu Qizhe's voice was a little low and his tone was gentle.
Yu Jiao shook her head. "I saw Magistrate Gao coming over."
Yu Qizhe nodded, "I...can't go with you to Qiyun County. County Magistrate Gao's teacher wrote to me, urging me to go to the capital as soon as possible. Master Shanshui will give a lecture in the capital soon. Master Liu Zhan has obtained a few places and wants me to go and listen to Master Shanshui's class."
Yu Jiao could hear the apology in his voice and smiled slightly, "It's nothing. Qiyun County is not far from home, and I have my sister with me, so you don't have to worry. Since it's a lecture by a famous scholar, it should be of great benefit to you. You should leave earlier."
