Dong Nuan didn't think much and quickly looked away. When Shi Er came back after shopping, they drove away in the carriage.
And on the second floor of the restaurant not far from where Dong Nuan and his carriage stopped just now, a window was half-closed. The young man standing behind the window gently touched the teacup in his hand, with a hint of "no" in his eyes.
The meaning of Qing is clear, and the tone of the mouth is also vague: "The bright moon is as bright as its light."
There was a bookboy and two servants following behind him. The bookboy didn't hear the voice clearly and couldn't help but ask: "What orders do you have, Master?"
The square face of one of the two servants thought about the young master's gaze downstairs before, and then thought about the startling glance in the carriage downstairs. He rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "But I want you to go check it out.
Where is that girl from?"
The young master, who was touching the tea cup, glanced at the servant who had opened his mouth. His slightly cold eyes made the servant shrink back in shock.
Seeing this, the young master sneered: "Nothing."
The servants and bookboys were too frightened to speak. At this moment, hearty laughter came from the door of the private room: "Sorry, Brother Cao, I'm late, I'm late!"
While he was talking, two young men dressed as scholars opened the door and walked in.
Mr. Cao nodded slightly and smiled politely: "Brother Liu, Brother Lan."
Dong Nuan, who was already on her way back to the county town, knew nothing about this, nor did she know that in order to avoid her gaze, someone pushed the naive book boy to lie in front of the window and pretend to look at the scenery.
Dong Nuan really didn't think too much about the book boy who looked honest.
All the way back to the county town, Hanjianglou needs to get busy because he still needs to prepare for studying in the county.
This time, more than 20 students from Xiangshui County have been admitted to the county school. According to their scores, more than 20 students can be divided into two classes.
Hanjiang Tower has relatively good results here.
After all, in the government examination, those who can rank in the twenties are almost likely to enter the government school.
The county school also paid enough attention to it, and all the procedures were handled very smoothly.
Even after enrolling in school, Hanjianglou was consulted about the dormitory he would sleep in and who he wanted to be with.
The dormitory conditions of the county school are good. Although the rooms are not big, they are equipped with beds and desks. No matter how much space there is, there will be no room for activities.
Therefore, two students live in one room.
Hanjiang Tower didn't choose anyone in particular, they just chose a student surnamed Li who had a fairly good relationship with him, a good character, and was easy to get along with.
The other party’s results are also good, ranking in the mid-30s.
In terms of their county school results, they are also among the top ten.
The other party also had a good impression of Hanjiang Tower. As soon as the county school arranged the arrangement, the other party happily agreed.
Prefecture schools and county schools are officially run schools and only accept students with good academic performance, so no tuition, food, and accommodation fees are charged.
The county school has its own source of income. On the one hand, the government allocates money every year. On the other hand, the county school also leases fields outside the city. It rents them out every year and collects rent money, which can also earn a lot of money.
income.
In short, each place has its own solution.
However, there is only no charge for these. Students need to buy the usual pens, ink, and books themselves.
For scholars, repairing is actually not expensive. If you pay it in one lump sum, it can be solved within a year.
The most expensive ones are pens, inks, paper and inkstones. After all, they are consumables, especially paper. If you write a lot of articles, they will be consumed quickly, and you will naturally spend a lot more.
Not only does the county school not charge fees, but students who do well in the exams every month can get money.
Liao Mingkun can often get this money, and Dong Xu can forget about it. Being in the back row, he doesn't need to think about these rewards.
There are two sets of school uniforms, and in winter, there will be an extra layer of jacket on the outside.
If you enroll in school, the county school will give you a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, but there won't be much paper. Even the most common paper will be given half a knife.
The number of swords of Dayue Dynasty is seventy.
Half a knife of paper is thirty-five sheets, but it is still a lot. If you go out and buy it, a knife of paper will cost a lot of money.
Just for these procedures at Hanjiang Tower, it took two days to receive the items.
On the eighth day of April, these students officially entered school, and on the sixth day of April, Dong Nuan's shop in the county officially opened.
The small shop opened and it was quite lively.
After all, Gou Qingyun had already become a shareholder, so on the opening day, she chose a time near noon to arrive in a carriage. The carriage stopped at the door for about a stick of incense before leaving.
It is easy to be dazzled by the exquisitely carved wood pieces in the Dongnuan store.
The oil-paper umbrella holding peonies hanging at the door is even more eye-catching.
The seventy-two-bone oil-paper umbrella has exquisite workmanship and strong ribs. Even if there is a strong wind, the umbrella seems to keep blowing.
The paper surface is even more beautiful after being processed. It is made of fine rice paper. After processing, the paper looks delicate and silky. After brushing with tung oil, the paper seems to start to reflect light in the sun.
The umbrella is beautiful and the wooden parts are exquisite. The daughter of the county magistrate even came to sit there for a while, which was like a signal.
People who originally had some thoughts about this store are now cautiously taking back their steps to cause trouble.
"This store has a strong background."
"I really didn't see it."
…
Some people talked quietly, and some people observed secretly.
Dong Nuan heard it and pretended not to hear it.
The county magistrate is the biggest in the county. With this background, others have to hold back even if they have ideas.
Furthermore, since I am in the county town, I actually don’t have many competitors.
On the first day of opening, it attracted a lot of customers because of the oil-paper umbrella as its sign.
After entering the store, those beautiful bamboo pen holders and ornaments attracted many people's attention.
Some students on their lunch break quietly came around just to take a look at the pen holder. After reading it, they couldn't help but pay.
There were expensive ones costing more than a hundred cents, and cheap ones costing dozens of cents. They could afford it, so they just bought them.
Stores that are warm in winter will close for rest around the end of the year.
Dong Zhi had a busy day and learned a lot under the leadership of the steward.
He had originally learned a lot of market skills from Dong Sanchun, and now he was learning more professional skills. He was progressing at the same time, and he was making rapid progress.
After a busy day, he managed it all with ease.
In the evening, it was Dong Zhi and the steward who did the accounting.
"The sales of pen holders are really good today." The manager couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the number of pen holders sold was over forty.
Although it is said that this is because of the freshness and the reason of the first day of opening, it is true that it sells.
Dong Zhi kept nodding aside: "That's right. Is it hard for this sculpture, boss?"
Dong Zhi now no longer calls Nuan Ya, but directly calls Dong Nuan Dongjia.
Dong Nuan had made preparations early. When Dong Zhi asked, he shook his head and said, "It's not hard, we still have a lot of inventory."
Dong Nuan has been preparing for the opening of this store in the county town for a long time, and has prepared a lot of oil-paper umbrellas and pen holders.
Nowadays, the pen holder market in the town has become saturated, but in the county town, there is still a big gap in the market, so we can do more.
"The wooden hairpins are also selling well." The manager felt that these two are now the key to the store's sales.
