The sun slowly rose, and in the morning, Hanjianglou and Shizhu drove two carriages over.
Dianthus went back to town yesterday to deliver goods, driving a carriage back.
I happened to be driving a carriage back today.
The two people entered the village one after another, and soon there were servants who took the carriage to a special place at the back, put the horses away, fed them, and wiped the carriage.
After Hanjiang came downstairs, Shi'er was particularly quick to help him get books, clothes, etc.
Hanjianglou must have been confident, so he took all his belongings over.
Not only did he bring some clothes, he also gave Dong Nuan a banknote.
When receiving the banknote box, Dong Nuan exclaimed: "There are so many!"
A full five hundred taels!
The cost of copying a book in Hanjianglou is usually only over 100 yuan, which is rarely encountered.
In most cases, they are dozens of articles, and some are particularly short or even twenty or thirty articles.
It was definitely impossible to copy so many books. Hanjiang Tower had also given him a large amount of money before. The saying at the time was that he had done something for someone.
It’s not that Dong Nuan doesn’t have doubts in her heart, but she also feels that who doesn’t have some secrets yet?
It's not like Hanjianglou wants to harm herself, it's useless for her to think too much.
The other party has already said what he wants to say, but now he is responding vaguely, which shows that the other party does not want to lie to him, and it is not convenient for him to say it.
If she asks too many questions, there will be embarrassment between the two of them.
Dong Nuan doesn't mind this kind of well-intentioned or inconvenient concealment.
It doesn't matter how you deal with it, as long as it doesn't affect the relationship between the two people.
Therefore, she just marveled and didn't ask any more questions.
Hanjiang Tower is also difficult to explain. Because I have an extra lifetime of memory, I know a lot of things. I can briefly mention some things in the mansion of some noble people.
Help the other party avoid some risks, and the other party will feel a little more at ease.
If the situation is serious, three to five hundred taels of silver is normal. After all, anyone who can be picked up by Hanjiang Tower will not be short of money.
Even if the situation is small, one or two hundred silver can be used. No matter how little it is, the other party will feel that his face is not good-looking and he looks too stingy.
Han Jianglou only hesitated for a moment, but still used vague words: "I gave Master Liu some help, and the other party gave me a thank you gift."
"It's quite generous." Dong Nuan smiled and put away the banknote, then pushed Han Jianglou to the next door to read: "Go and read, there will be an exam the day after tomorrow."
They will leave for Fucheng tomorrow and go to the examination room the day after tomorrow.
After the exam is over, wait a day for the results to be available.
Whether you can go to the county school or not will depend on you in three days!
Hanjianglou also knows that Dong Nuan is busy here. The little girl has not been back to the town in the past half month. Shi Er also said every time he went back that the girl was often doing something at the same time, and the wood work in her hands did not stop.
.
I am becoming more and more proficient at multitasking, also because I am getting busier and busier.
Because the wood carving work was not planned to continue for a long time, and since he had not met a very talented apprentice, Dong Nuan was not prepared to continue doing it for a long time.
Her future direction is still fruits and spices.
This is also true for the shops in the town that are located in winter and spring.
Moreover, once Dongyao is admitted to the county school, the family will definitely move to the county seat. When the time comes, there may be other arrangements for the county seat. It is too early to think about that now.
"Well, pay attention to your rest and don't be too tired." Hanjiang Tower knew that Dong Nuan was busy and would not dwell on it for too long. While walking out along with Dong Nuan's strength, he said in a deep voice: "The clan leader has already followed
The adults have discussed it. The clan leader is only responsible for making lard soap, and the adults will help promote and sell it. If the Dong clan is too busy, the adults will think of other ways. Of course, just selling soap may not be effective enough.
, so it is necessary to give lard soap a decent origin and explanation. Proper beautification will help the sale of these items."
As Hanjianglou walked, he told Dong Nuan about the cooperation between the clan leader and the county magistrate. Because it involved the secrets of both parties, no one sent him the message.
In response to this, Dong Nuan nodded. She was only responsible for helping to pull the strings, and she would not care about anything else.
However, in the past few days, Gou Qingyun has been running here very frequently, probably with the order of the county magistrate.
Gou Qingyun was not involved in this matter. It is probably because the county magistrate thought that the child was young and the matters involved were complicated, so he did not let her know too much.
The most she can do is listen to her father's words and come to Dong Nuan more often to get closer to Dong Nuan.
"Well, let them arrange it. They will arrange whatever is given to them." Dongnuan is very generous. Lard soap is just the basis. If they can innovate on this basis, then it will be a long-lasting thing.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Dong Zhi's uncle is a very flexible person. He has recently been thinking of ways to improve the recipe and see if he can add spices and other things to make lard soap have a different fragrance.
Hanjiang Lou was quickly sent back to his room to study, while Dong Zhi followed Dong Nuan around the village.
The other party will only be responsible for things in the shop from now on, but he needs to live here in Zhuangzi, because there is no other place for the time being. If he doesn't feel aggrieved, he can just sleep on the ground in the shop.
Dong Zhi prefers to live in Zhuangzi, so he has to become familiar with Zhuangzi.
The next day, the weather was good, so they got up early to pack up. After all, they had to go to Fucheng today and still had a long way to go.
Dong Nuan asked Shi Zhu to prepare the meal. After eating, Shi Er drove the car, Shi Zhu sat next to him, Dong Nuan and Han Jianglou sat in the car, and the four of them went directly to Fucheng.
For the inn in Fucheng, Dong Nuan had come to book it in person a few days ago, and now you can stay there after paying the money.
Because of the exam tomorrow, Hanjianglou still needs to wait here for two days for the results to come out. Dongnuan has no choice but to wait outside like he did in the previous county exams.
Because the flower fields in Zhuangzi still need her.
The weather has been warm recently and the flower seeds have sprouted, which is a good time to promote improvements.
Therefore, after seeing him off at Hanjiang Tower, Dong Nuan signaled Shi Er to drive back to Zhuangzi.
The distance between the prefectural city and the county seat is not particularly far, and it is still very fast to catch a carriage.
After going back, it was already dark, so Dong Nuan had dinner and went to bed early. He got up early the next morning and went to the flower field first, never stopping to hold the small items in his hand.
Although you can't say that you can carve many things with your eyes closed, it's almost the same.
Shi'er accompanied him all the way, while Dianthus had already gone to polish the umbrella ribs.
The two-acre field is not particularly large, but walking down it is quite tiring.
The warm winter brings good physical strength, and I can do two things at once and even germinate all the flower seeds.
The flowers planted in warm winter are all very common in the market, and there are no rare varieties.
Because rare varieties tend to attract attention, it is not safe to grow them.
Maybe before it grows up, we don’t know where it will go.
Therefore, the seeds I picked during the warm winter were mostly cassia, jasmine, camellia, crabapple and the like, which are convenient for flavoring. There were also a few osmanthus trees planted in the orchard.
Osmanthus has a nice fragrance, and it can also be used to make honey, which is used a lot.
All winter warmers were born and improved, and the single variety among the corresponding varieties was selected that is most suitable for making spices.
Because when planting, each type of flower is deliberately separated, so when it matures, it will also be of the same category and grow into one piece.
After walking the two acres of land, Dong Nuan broke out in a thin layer of sweat, but felt a little more at ease.
