Gu En was exasperated. All I did was envy my sisters for being able to go hunting.
Why did I become the top scorer in the exam?
After being personally taught by Gu Shouxin, Gu En realized that becoming a top scholar or a third-place scholar was not an easy task.
Let alone fifteen, we don't even know if he can pass the provincial examination at eighteen.
Gu En had no choice but to obey and try to pass the exam by the age of eighteen.
Seeing Gu En's obedient behavior, Zhang was overjoyed and asked Gu Shouxin, "Second son, just a little over a month until March, isn't it time for your early education? Your father and I don't know anything about this, what do you think..."
Gu Ren: "!"
Is this still his adorable chubby mother?
They actually went to great lengths to find books for him to read?
Gu Shouxin said in a serious tone, "Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll take care of Renren's early education. Now that we have Xiaoqi and Xiaoba in the family, I haven't given the children any early education before, so let's start with Renren."
Gu Ren wanted to argue, but his parents beat him to it.
Uncle Gu: "Second son, you've done a great job as my second uncle! I'll make sure the boys in the family treat you well from now on!"
Zhang: "Thank you, second son! Luckily, you went to school back then. Oh my, now our family is full of scholars. It's an honor to talk about it!"
Everyone at the table laughed.
Gu Ren felt wronged.
You could just find him any teacher you want, why hand him over to his second uncle who knows his background?
After dinner, Gu Shouxin called the children to his study.
Gu Hui has now joined the army, but there is also Huo Yanyu, whom he treats equally.
The boys now have one more person, Gu Ren.
Gu Ren will be three years old soon. Gu Shouxin plans to start training him from a young age. What you learned in your time is no good, it doesn't conform to the mainstream of the Great Zhou Imperial Examination. And physical fitness is also very important. Look at how chubby you are, if you keep growing, you'll grow into a round ball.
Gu Shouxin assigned tasks to the four girls, including Gu Nian, who had to practice calligraphy every day.
Aside from reciting characters and practicing martial arts, Gu Nian can do whatever she wants in her spare time.
Huo Yanyu was the same.
Gu Xin and Gu Si are different; they have to practice the piano, which was their own choice.
Gu Shouxin is quite open-minded. For example, Gu Nian always has things she wants to do, so he won't force her. If she can't play the piano, that's fine with him.
However, Gu Xin and Gu Si were both willing to learn, and if they were going to learn, they wanted to learn it well.
As for Gu En, needless to say, he must master all six arts of a gentleman.
As for Gu Ren, well, let's focus on getting him up on time every morning first, and he also needs to start learning calligraphy gradually.
Gu Shouxin explained everything one by one, and then asked them if they had any questions.
These are the things everyone usually does, so there's naturally no problem.
The little ones then went back to their rooms.
After returning home, Gu Nian gave the account book to Gu Xin and asked her to do the accounting.
Gu Xin's abacus clicked away, and she was actually quite good at mental arithmetic, but she was used to going through the calculations in her head first and then doing it again by counting the cards.
These accounts mainly consist of records for workshops built outside the city.
Almost half a year has passed, and Gu Nian's rouge and face powder workshop has been completed, and it is much larger in scale than Qingzhou's.
She had all the expenses recorded, and now that everything was done, she asked Gu Xin to calculate the total.
Next, the workshop will be shipping out in large quantities. They have received orders not only from the five neighboring countries, but also quite a few orders from the Great Zhou. Shipments will begin in September.
Besides cosmetics, Gu Xin also had to keep track of the embroidery shop's accounts. Sun Yumei and Zhang Shi were now managing the embroidery shop, which already had quite a few finished products, and the business had long been established.
There's a new product now, dolls. They only went on sale in July, but a batch was snapped up by wealthy merchants from Jiangnan before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now they're out of stock.
Cai Xiaolian's idea was to have Gu Xin calculate the accounts, and then the girls would come up with a solution to prevent this shortage from happening again.
