Before the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Wei Shu and Wei Xi returned to the city.
They first said hello to their relative Wei Yuanwai, put down some things, left some people behind, and then Wei Shu accompanied Wei Xi back to the village.
Shen Cui calculated that they would be back soon, so she cleaned the student dormitory where Wei Xi lived a few days ago.
When they came back, Shen Cui immediately added them to the academy system.
Wei Shu didn't need to say anything, so she didn't need to worry about it.
Because of Wei Xi's continuous running around, his physical fitness value dropped from 67 to 64. But as long as he is not sick, or has a root cause like the previous cough, there is no need to worry. He will recover after a few days of conditioning.
She felt relieved, but then she heard Mu Erpang exclaim, "Why did Junior Brother bring such a big carriage?"
After hearing this, Shen Cui looked carefully.
Leading the Wei family's convoy was an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, and the one behind it was really huge, twice as big as the ox-drawn carts that could be seen in the village every day! There were three horses pulling the cart!
Wei Xi was eager to return home, so he got off the bus before Wei Shu and explained, "This is a little gift from my parents. They specially asked us to bring it to donate to the academy."
"Why did you come all the way here to send so many things?" Shen Cui said politely while staring at the carriage behind her.
People with poor minds have low aspirations. In order to make money, he had been trying to write down his thoughts for half a month. After only saying three sentences, Shen Shanchang's heart beat faster.
After the carriage stopped, the Wei family servants who were accompanying the carriage began to unload the goods in an orderly manner.
Screens made of fine wood, various elegant wooden carvings, scrolls, beautifully bound sets of books, thick satin waist cushions... were carried down one by one by the servants.
Finally, there was a small vertical plaque, which Wei Xi took down himself without the help of anyone else.
What was written on the plaque was nothing else but the motto of Cuiwei Academy.
The school motto had never been treated very well before. Lao Buyu wrote it on paper, pieced it together and posted it on the wall.
When choosing gifts before returning, Wei Xi suggested making a vertical plaque with the school motto.
In fact, the plaque of Cuiwei Academy is also shabby and unattractive to the eyes, but it represents the real academy and it is not easy to change it casually.
The motto of the academy is important, but it is not equivalent to the face of the academy, so Wei Xi asked someone to do this.
The wood of this vertical plaque is even better. The words "glossy and smooth" are not enough to describe it. It feels like wood and jade. Even those who don't know much about wood know how expensive it is.
Once this vertical plaque and those elegant calligraphy and paintings were hung in the main room, a few screens were placed between the desks, various wooden carvings were placed in the corners and on the desks, and soft cushions were placed on each chair, the shabby main room immediately became more elegant and generous.
Shen Cui's heart was really beating wildly. She pursed her lips, and her mind began to think involuntarily - so many things, if they were converted into silver...how much would they cost?
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Wei Shu said, "After returning home, my parents asked the doctor to check Xiao Xi's pulse and found that his lung disease had improved. Thinking that this place is suitable for recuperation, they thought of sending some things to the academy to improve the environment, which would also be beneficial to Xiao Xi."
Chen Cui suddenly understood. I just feel a little regretful in my heart... If I could give her all these things in cash, she could buy so many more practical things for the academy.
Of course, it’s not to say that these things are bad, but in Shen Cui’s opinion, compared with necessities and consumables such as pens, ink, paper and inkstone, these things are dispensable.
Now that he had more money, he could use the shopping points freely, and he could heal Wei Xi's body faster.
But since it was given to her for free, she naturally couldn't refuse it, so she immediately discarded her money-filled thoughts and thanked her with a smile.
"As for living expenses," Wei Shu drafted the words, "my parents think that since I come here occasionally, it's not good to pay only one fee, so from now on, I will pay two fees every month, which will become 20 taels. What do you think..."
Finally there was some solid income, and Chen Cui accepted the twenty taels of silver note without batting an eyelid, but she was so moved that tears streamed down her face - it was not in vain that she had not been willing to use any skin care products from the ground all year round, and had used it all to support Wei Xi's recuperation!
"Then when you write back, please convey my thanks to me."
She was as straightforward as ever and didn't make any excuses, which saved Wei Shu a lot of trouble.
Turning around, Chen Cui went to inspect the newly renovated academy, and Wei Xi glanced at Wei Shu with a little pride.
The two brothers now have more and more tacit understanding like twins. Wei Shu immediately knew what he was saying: See, he is right, our headmaster is not a money-loving person, she takes money just to buy things for the academy, and now they might as well buy them and send them over. The headmaster was indeed very happy!
After settling Wei Xi, Wei Shu glanced at the utility room, feeling rather reluctant to leave, but still said goodbye: "I have to go back to the academy today, and I'll come back during the ten-day break."
After hearing this, Shen Cui said, "That's great. Ah Zhou is going to your academy to deliver some clothes. Can you give her a ride?"
The Wei family had a horse-drawn carriage, so it was completely convenient for Zhou and Wei Shu to go there, which could save Zhou a lot of effort.
Wei Shu was naturally not unhappy, but Zhou was a bit introverted. In the past, when Wei Shu came, she would deliberately avoid him and only come over during meal times.
During meals, if Wei Shu did not mention Mu Yunchuan, Zhou would not take the initiative to talk to him, and would not even make eye contact with him.
If Zhou were to go into the city with him, she would probably feel uncomfortable.
Give her a carriage and go back separately? Wei Shu was just thinking about it when he saw Zhou Shi had already walked to the side of the carriage with a small package and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Master Wei."
It was Wei Shu who thought too much.
There were two carriages, one was originally used to carry gifts, and the other was where Wei Shu and Wei Xi came.
They still each had a carriage, but there was no need to go through the trouble of separating twice. They returned to Qingzhu Academy together.
Near Qingzhu Academy there was a dismounting stone which had been set up by the headmaster when he founded the academy. When they arrived there, the two men got off their carriages.
After walking to the door for a quarter of an hour, Wei Shu couldn't help but feel a little curious. How could Zhou, who was a little shy when making jackets before, be able to take orders on her own now?
However, he was not a particularly curious person. After sending Zhou to the gate of the academy, Wei Shu told Zhaifu to help her find someone, and then went in first.
…………
Back to Cuiwei, all the students in the academy have arrived, the New Year is over, and naturally the study for the new year has to begin.
Chen Cui consciously stayed.
As soon as the gain was turned on, Lao Buyu first checked Wei Xi's homework.
During the month that Wei Xi was away, he spent most of his time on the road, so Lao Buyu did not assign him much homework.
That is, he was asked to memorize more than ten pages of a book and practice some writing.
Wei Xi did not slack off and did not fall behind in any of his homework.
After he finished his inspection, the academy began classes as before.
Chen Cui continued to spread out the beginning of the notebook where she had written the first three sentences, and she was not so at a loss anymore. Anyway, the Wei family will give double living expenses in the next month. The money is not much, but it is not that scarce.
She just needs to find something to do, stop being distracted, and just do her job as a gain switch.
Later, Zhou came back with a big smile on her face. Song Shusheng was very satisfied with the small design she added. Not only did he pay the balance readily, but because of her ingenuity, he regarded her not only as a tailor doing work, but also as a fellow enthusiast who had ideas about designing clothes like himself. He also took some other design drawings and asked Zhou to choose the ones she could make, and directly gave her a deposit of one or two taels of silver.
Later, Scholar Song went back. The students who shared the same dormitory with him, the ones who were holding the military coats, were very curious to see that he was very satisfied with the gifts.
A few young boys didn't understand what Song Shusheng was explaining about the drawstring principle, so some of them just put the clothes on themselves to try them on.
They were all classmates who had a close personal relationship and saw each other day and night. Scholar Song did not get angry with them. He just smiled and told them to take it easy and not to tear the clothes he had worked so hard to get.
After trying it on, the student, who was thinner and taller than Song Shusheng, looked even more handsome in the novel design!
So the next time Zhou went to deliver clothes, several more people followed suit and ordered custom clothes.
One Qingzhu Academy can support an entire Academy Street, so don't underestimate the purchasing power of these students. Except for the special case of Mu Yunchuan, any not-so-rich student there has some spare money.
Zhou's small workshop gradually gained some fame. Of course, this is a later story.
Back to the present, in late January, Wei Shu came to Cuiwei Academy.
The last time he looked at the utility room, his eyes were burning with anger, and Chen Cui calculated the date and specially cleaned it for him.
Moreover, she knew that changing the furnishings would not affect the effectiveness of the simulation room, so she put some of the things sent by the Wei family in it to enhance the investors' simulation test experience.
But unexpectedly, Wei Shu went straight in this time and announced a news - he would be leaving in February!
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Wei Shu's expression was more serious than usual.
Almost at the same time as she learned the news, Shen Cui received a system prompt -
【System Task: Participate in a county examination.】 】
【Note: The training is deemed completed if any training subject participates. Once completed, the system will be upgraded. The better the ranking, the more complete the functions will be after the system upgrade. 】
At the same time, the system also considerately listed the current qualifications of training subjects No. 1, 2, and 3 on the light screen, indicating that training subject No. 3, Wei Shu, is more suitable for the exam at this time and has the highest probability of getting a good ranking.
Shen Cui:? ? ? I feel so embarrassed, isn't this a free reward? !
