At this time in Qinzhou, the college entrance examination had just begun.
There are two examinations in the academy. The main examination is two essays on the Four Books and one test, and the re-examination is one essay on the Four Books, one essay on the Elementary School, and one poem. Admission is at Yinshi (3:00-5:00), and the limit is that the lights are not on.
Xu Wenqu was waiting outside as usual, but Qiao Sangyu and Xia Yuhui had already gone back.
In the previous provincial examination, Tang Shirong took the first place, while Lu Cang's disciples all failed. Xu Wenqu was a villain for once, so he took them to Lu Cang to inform him.
In Tang Shiyue's words, it was like "giving a drowning dog a beating", and then they wrote letters back to express their hatred and anger but their fear of showing any reaction, just to make Tang Shiyue happy.
Who knew that they accidentally exposed their residence, and for a while they were in chaos.
Many people came to visit him, and some even "kindly" advised Xu Wenqu, saying why two apprentices should take the exam together? Family members are competing with each other? Why not make a mistake? Maybe they can each get a small three-point prize...
Some people also said, Huo Qiyang is so young, why is he in such a hurry to end his life? If he wastes his energy at such a young age, it may damage his lifespan.
There were others who looked as if they had seen through everything: Huo Qiyang himself was not very capable, but he had the advantage of being young, so the examiner would naturally show some leniency to him. In the future, it would be a good story if a six-year-old scholar emerged.
Xu Wenqu got annoyed and simply put a "No Visitors" notice on the door to keep everyone out.
...
...
It was not until Xia Yuhui came over that he discovered that there were rumors outside that Xu Wenqu had spread the word that the top prize was in his pocket, that Tang Shirong had spread the word that he would definitely get the fourth place, and there were even rumors that Huo Qiyang and Tang Shirong were not on good terms with each other, and that "it will be my turn to get the first place next time". In short, all kinds of rumors were flying around, as if the three of them were just spreading rumors for no reason.
It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. Xu Wenqu didn't care and just let them talk.
Afterwards, Qiao Sangyu sued Zhang Zhimo.
Zhang Zhimo is now a prominent figure.
There weren't many students from Dongfeng County who passed the exam, and he was from the same hometown as them, so naturally many people came to ask him questions. Zhang Zhimo already had some opinions about Tang Shiyue, but he didn't dare to go after her. Now he had a rare opportunity to take revenge... He relied on making up their right and wrongs to get along well with these students.
Who knew that Qiao Sangyu would sue me.
The witnesses were verified by Tang Shiyue before, and the physical evidence, such as her house deeds and land deeds, the testimonies of the villagers, and the testimonies of the elders about what everyone in the Zhang family had done and the money they had spent, were all prepared with the help of Xia Yuhui, and they were all solid evidence.
This case was so egregious that the academician used it as an example to scare others. As a result, not only was Zhang Zhimo stripped of his official title, he was also sent back by the academician to help recover his dowry.
As a result of this incident, Zhang Zhimo's reputation became infamous, and those who were on good terms with him hurriedly distanced themselves from him, which inexplicably killed off some of the rumors.
Xu Wenqu couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, thinking that by staying with that young lady, he was also benefiting from her good fortune.
…………
Tang Shiyue didn't pick any auspicious day. She just packed up and moved into her new home.
Of course, the Dragon Guards followed, and Meng Yiqiu also shamelessly occupied a room. However, Xiao Yaoer and Chang Rui, one had to study in the martial arts hall, and the other had to teach in the martial arts hall, and neither of them could come to the town, so Tang Shiyue left Mrs. Ye behind.
As for the lynx, Tang Shiyue hesitated for a long time, but decided to get it first. If the lynx is really unhappy, he would ask someone to send it back.
But I don’t know if the two lynxes are well-trained, and they don’t have much aversion to being locked in the house. Occasionally, when they get irritable and circle around, Tang Shiyue takes them out to practice whipping, just like walking the dogs.
But when they were in the mountains, the lynx could practice with them. When practicing in such a small place, Tang Shiyue was afraid of hitting them, so she didn't dare to use force with her hands. So Jia Shiyi arranged for someone to practice with her, and Tang Shiyue didn't refuse.
It’s much more convenient here because it’s close to the workshop.
Nowadays, fans from Yue Workshop are everywhere, and rickshaws are constantly being improved. However, because the chain problem is difficult to solve, the progress of tricycles and four-wheelers is slow, but the rickshaws are getting better and better.
Tang Shiyue also asked them to send the test products out for people to try. Within a few days, there were rickshaws running on the road. Tang Shiyue sometimes picked one to get on and let them go to a place to enjoy the scenery.
In modern times, such disrespect for human rights would make people curse to death, but at this time, she was very happy, and the rickshaw puller was also happy to make money.
As for how Jia Shiyi and the others wanted to follow, it was none of her business! She didn't want to care!
When they reached a small hill, they saw many peonies and roses planted on the hill. She was not that elegant and actually had little interest in them, so she just looked at them and turned back. But suddenly she was stunned and suddenly thought of a good idea.
Essential oils.
Essential oils can be made into essential oils and hydrosols through distillation. Essential oils can be used directly, made into essential oil soaps, and other things.
Now she is the "Enfu County Lady" personally conferred by the emperor. Generally speaking, no matter what she does, she will not be regarded as a monster, so she can take things as she pleases.
She turned around and looked: "Little Eye?"
I don't know who Jia Ji responded: "He didn't come today."
Tang Shiyue stopped talking. After a while, Ding Xiaoyan came over and saluted: "The county lord is looking for me?"
Tang Shiyue said: "Go find Ding Shiliu and ask him to help me find some gardeners. I want to plant flowers."
"Okay," Ding Xiaoyan asked, "How many should we find? How many should we plant? What kind of flowers should we plant?"
Tang Shiyue said, "Find a few more, at least ten or so? How many should we plant? Just plant as many seeds as we can buy! What flowers should we plant? What flowers are there now? Let's plant roses, jasmine, and honeysuckle first! Oh, and plant some mint."
Ding Xiaoyan responded and left.
Tang Shiyue thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this business was good. He was a little happy and asked the person next to him, "Do you know who is the most profitable person in the world?"
The man seemed flattered by the question and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Official?"
"No, it's women." Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Women's money is easiest to earn. Basically, men's consumption comes from needs, and women's consumption comes from vanity, so even if it is repetitive things, as long as you spend a little time and effort, women will be willing to pay for it."
One of the biggest rules of Jewish business: target women.
That's why Yuefang is so popular, right? How many pieces can be sold if it only relies on men?
She turned around and left, ready to find a coppersmith to make an essential oil distiller first.
After coming out, he went to find a pottery craftsman and wanted to make a roller bottle.
The "ball bearing" thing was not as difficult as she imagined, as it could be fired using a mold. However, it was a bit difficult to fire the "bottle" into the kind of thin and long one she wanted, with a collar on the mouth.
Tang Shiyue worked with the craftsmen for several days and burned several furnaces, but still couldn't come up with anything. He could only make a few plump little bottles, wrapped the mouths with soft wire to ensure they were sealed, and barely worked.
