A new journey of accumulating wealth

Chapter 370 Journey to the Homeland 3 in 1

Lin Yutong knows how to weave cloth with anti-thread, make cloth from cotton and even dye it. She can do these manual tasks.Of course, fourth master did better than her back then.However, cotton spinning and silk weaving are two different things.

If you want to weave, you have to look at silkworm rearing first.After leaving the city and entering the trail, you can see patches of mulberry gardens.Even on the side of the road, there are mulberry trees planted, which seem to be some years old.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, farming and mulberry was the most important thing. In the second year of Yongzheng, there was a decree to encourage the cultivation of mulberry. For example, the wasteland in front of and behind the house on the roadside can be used to grow mulberry.Come to think of it, this is the tree that was planted back then.

There are urchins climbing high in the trees, and the adults in the courtyard wall keep yelling, telling the children to be careful.

The family of three looked like foreigners, but since they were both women and children, no one felt panicked.However, some old people in the village still asked, where did the caller come from?

Recently, because of Yujia's visit, there are a lot of people from all over the place.There are also people like this guest who brought their wives and children out to learn more.Fourth Master went over to chat with him, and a urchin in the tree saw Hong Hui, and called him hissingly from above.As soon as Hong Hui raised his head, the child grinned, picked off the discolored mulberries and threw them to Hong Hui, "Please eat."

Bai Zhong brought a bit of |pink| mulberry, which made his teeth sour, but Hong Hui still delivered it to his mouth, then he took out the jerky and mints he had with him, and told the child to come down.Seeing that there was something to eat, the boy slid down from the tree like a monkey.

In the eyes of children, there is no distinction.I invite you to eat mulberry, you invite me to eat jerky, it's just such a big thing.

Dirty hands grabbed the jerky and ate it. Only then did Hong Hui realize that the child's feet were bare, and his clothes were patched one after another. Except for some dirt on the tree, he looked clean.

The child was embarrassed by Honghui's sizing up, wiped his hands on his clothes, and smiled, "The stained mulberry juice is not dirty." He looked at the shoes under the tree and he was relieved when he saw the shoes. Run over and sit on his shoes.

This is because I am afraid that I will get my shoes dirty by climbing a tree.

Honghui pointed to the tree, "Your family?"

The child nodded and pointed to the area at the head of the village, "They all belong to my family."

So many mulberry fields? "Have you raised a lot of silkworms?"

The child stood up and pointed to a row of roofs hidden in the mulberry garden, "This is my family's silkworm room, all of which belong to my family. Shall I take you there?"

Hong Hui went over and whispered to Er Niang, Lin Yutong nodded and let him go, "Don't stay here, I will leave with you, Ama, soon."

Honghui is not a real child, nor is he here to play.He went into the mulberry garden, saw the silkworm house, and met most of the child's family.Everyone is busy and dresses about the same.The food that the child's mother took out from the kitchen to treat him as a little guest was mulberry leaf dumpling, a green ball, something that she wouldn't take out even if it wasn't for taking care of this guest.

The child stretched out his hand to take it, but his mother slapped it off, and said angrily, "It's for the guests."

The child looked at Hong Hui with a naive smile: "Eat! My mother made it, it's delicious."

Honghui can be regarded as having eaten rough food, that's how he was raised when he beat up little Ama.But he has never eaten food made from mulberry leaves.He reached out and took a bite, and it was not tasty as he imagined.But the child was already drooling watching him swallow.

He stopped to look at the child, "Are you full?"

"My father said that the one who is full every day is the emperor. Few people in the world can eat enough every day."

Such a natural tone made Honghui almost unable to swallow the things in his hand, and felt his chest was congested.Throughout his life, what he got in exchange was that there would be no starving to death in the world, but not everyone could have enough to eat.

Peace in the world?Peacefulness?Behind it, [-]% of people don't know what it's like to have a full meal.

The child stared at the blue rice ball greedily, swallowed and urged, "Hurry up and eat!"

Hong Hui handed it over, "You eat..."

Without saying a word, the child turned his head to look and saw his mother in the yard, so he quickly grabbed the rice balls and swallowed them whole, then pulled Hong Hui and ran outside.After running a long distance, he squatted on the side of the road and chewed slowly. Hong Hui watched him stretch his neck, chewing and swallowing. laugh.

When he was about to leave, the child brought a bagful of very tender mulberry leaves, "You haven't eaten this, have you? Take it back for you and ask your mother to make it for you. It's delicious."

Hong Hui took it away, and it was so heavy that he almost couldn't straighten his back.

"Those who are covered with silk are not silkworm farmers." This poem is much heavier when I read it again.You think you understand the difficulty, but in fact, you still don't understand anything.

This is the case in the south of the Yangtze River, which shows how the situation in the north is.

After watching Sangnong, and then returning to the city to visit Zhihu, I felt a little more at peace.From Suzhou to Hangzhou, there are weaving households in various sizes.But the people who make a living on this are considered a little rich.The family can afford one or two scholars.

Walking along the street, it is not an exaggeration to say that every family has organic sounds.

As a merchant who purchased silk, Fourth Master visited many companies, usually to see the quality of each company and the machines they used.

After reading all these, I asked someone to coordinate and went to the Weaving Bureau.The Weaving Bureau can be said to belong to the state and serve the royal family.In addition to royal use, it is used as a reward.Therefore, in terms of craftsmanship, of course, the Weaving Bureau has higher requirements for craftsmanship.But not every procedure is completed in the weaving bureau.Many basic crafts also have to be done by organic users, which is equivalent to subcontracting out.

But also because it does not take the business route, the Weaving Bureau needs expenses.It needs money from the court to maintain operations.Every craftsman inside gets an official salary.Such a position, like a military household, can be inherited from generation to generation.Just like the succession system, the result of this is that the weaving bureau has become a solidified body of interests from generation to generation.

Others watched with great interest, but Lin Yutong and Fourth Master and his party watched it with heavy hearts.I didn't even go to see Qianlong's military parade.

When I came out of the capital, it was the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and it was freezing cold.But when I returned to the capital, it was already May.The weather is starting to get hot.This wandering is half a year.

Back to Zhuangzi, Lin Yutong didn't even know each other.Turn into the road that only leads to Zhuangzi, and you can see a large building.This is the academy.The residences of Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were also enclosed in the academy.The original school building has obviously been converted and can be used as a guest room, and will no longer be used as a school building.

The school building isn't fully built yet, but what's left is the minutiae.Red walls, yellow tiles, cornices and high ridges, to be honest, this looks like a palace complex.

Yong Huang introduced people while welcoming people inside, "Now only one-tenth of the plan has been completed. It can be used for the time being, but it is enough. Now the walls are separated, and they are being built one after another. Every year, the usable houses will increase. Increase. That is the library, and it will be completed next month... The trees are transplanted from the mountains, and they are not rare species. The flowers are also easy to live, and the thorny roses and wild chrysanthemums don’t cost a lot.”

Fourth Master gave a rare compliment, "Not bad."

In the past six months, there must have been no idle day.

Qianlong, who had just returned, also came to visit with great interest, praised Yonghuang and Hongluo a few words, and when he became interested, he swiped a pen, "Huang Ama, this academy is called the Royal Academy, how about it?"

Lin Yutong: "..." The four characters on the rice paper have already fallen, so what else can I say?

Thinking about it again, although the name Royal Academy is a bit straightforward, it has an advantage, that is, it is attractive enough.Think about it again, what are many foreign universities called royal colleges, so what?If this name can be kept for many years, in a few hundred years, I hope it can also be a world-class prestigious school.

Therefore, no one disputed with him on this.

When Qianlong was happy, he not only asked someone to bring the huge plaque overnight, but also issued a decree. In order to improve the grade of this academy, people said that no matter if it is a member of the royal family, a child of an official, or a poor family , those who are not excellent will not be recorded.Anyone who was born in an academy can wait for an official vacancy with a letter of recommendation, and the Ministry of Officials should give priority to arrangements as appropriate.

As soon as this decree came out, there was an uproar.How difficult is it to have a family background if you want to be an official?The imperial examination is more than a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge?And it happens every three years.I really think half of it is luck.

But as long as he can go to the academy, it is obvious that he has stepped into an official career.This is much easier than taking the imperial examination.

Not to mention the eagerness of those from poor families who have not yet made it to the top of their studies, even the children of the Eight Banners, among the royal family, there are always those who have no connections and no way out, and really have no future in sight, so they want to come and have a try.

He was very refreshed when he gave orders from above, but he didn't want to think about it. Is the academy just a teaching dormitory?Where is sir from?

There are quite a few great Confucian scholars in the Hanlin Academy, but are those the ones that Si Ye needs?

When Qianlong came over, he was very embarrassed. He had just added a ten elder brother to the Moon Palace, and he was very happy. It wasn't because he drank a few more glasses of wine, he was a little drunk at the time.Moreover, he really wanted to flatter the people here. He observed Huang Ama all the way on the southern tour, and he had some thoughts about Huang Ama.Although in his heart, he felt that some ideas were a little naive, but... asking Huang Ama to toss in a small area, and to control everything within a controllable range, he felt that there was nothing he could not do.

I didn't expect this purpose, it seems that the filming was a bit urgent.He is also very generous, "Huang Ama, there are so many officials in the court, from top to bottom, as long as you like it, my son will be transferred to you."

Those who can be officials cannot be scholars.What do you want those people to do?

But Qianlong never expected that the first husband he found was so unexpected.

In a quarry dozens of miles away from Zhuangzi, a group of skinny men with short knuckles hanging on their bodies were carrying the stone tablet.The scorching sun was hanging above the head, sweat dripped down the cheeks and hit the stone slab.This is a quarry for carving stone tablets, stone lions, and all stone ornaments.

The carriage came slowly, and the steward greeted him with a smile, thinking that there was a big buyer.

But he didn't want the carriage to stop, the capable coachman jumped off the horse, and saw the father and son get off the horse.A dignified man of about 30 years old, with a seven or eight-year-old boy who was carved with jade.At first glance, this person is no small manager.He was busy and respectful, "My lord, the young one is in charge here. Look, it's dirty, it's hot, and it has a young man with it. How about you, please, over there It's shaded and cool."

Fourth Master let out an 'um', and walked in the direction pointed by the steward.There is a long table under the shade of the tree, and on the table is a teapot and a stack of bowls.Before the steward cleaned up all these things, the fourth master sat down and asked, "Is there someone named Liu Sange here?"

The steward was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes! There is a man named Liu Sange." He glanced in the direction of the quarry, "I'll call someone here for you, little one."

Fourth master said 'uh' again, and the man in charge quickly ran away, aiming at the masters who were engraved on the stone tablet nearby.

Liu San'er wiped off the sweat with his arm, and lightly painted the color on the stele, before finishing his pen, the steward came over and shouted in a low voice, "San'er, someone is looking for you."

Liu San'er was only in his twenties, and looked at the steward with a dark face, "Who can find me?" As he said that, he lowered his head and went to work on him.The steward pointed to the fourth master, "You should take a look, do you know him?"

Liu San'er looked over there, couldn't see clearly, but probably didn't recognize him, "I've been working with you for ten years, who do you know and who don't you know?"

"But they are looking for you!" The steward pulled him, "Hurry up, be quick, look at the rich and expensive, maybe there is a good job waiting for you."

Liu San'er was dragged staggeringly, reluctantly passed by.When he came to fourth master, he was very cautious.

Fourth Master pointed to the stool next to him: "Sit down, sit down and talk."

How dare Liu San'er?This person's background looked quite big, and he was still thinking about whether his previous work was not done well enough to make someone come to him.Therefore, he became more and more frightened, "My lord, the younger one is Liu San'er... What orders do you have..."

Fourth master interrupted him, "You can speak foreign language? Do you understand foreign language?"

what?

Liu San'er quickly lowered his head, "The little one..." There is no way to deny this, and he smiled wryly, "The little one can only do a little bit."

"Humble." Fourth Master pointed to the stool next to him, "Sit down, let's sit down so we can talk."

Liu San'er was touched by a stool, "The small one is really not modest, and the small one has not been used for many years. I almost forgot about it."

"This is a lie! There are some things that you can't forget even if you want to. You have been able to speak since you were a foreigner, right?"

Liu San'er was frightened and quickly stood up, "The little one... the little one... the little one is guilty."

He lost his father before he was born, and his mother took him to work as a cook in a foreign family.That foreigner was a foreign monk, who was beheaded by the court for preaching in the early years.He doesn't want anything to do with it now.In fact, not only did he learn to speak foreign dialects when he could speak, but he also learned these skills from foreign monks.Foreign monks can paint murals, and he started to follow him when he was five or six years old.But also because the foreign monk was convicted, he didn't dare to let people know about his past.For more than ten years, he has been staying in the quarry, relying on this to support his mother.Many people persuaded him to go to Guangzhou, saying that there were many foreigners there, and the firms doing business were willing to hire him like this, so that he could be a small steward and earn a lot of money.But where can my mother travel far when she is alive?

For so many years, I hid here and did not dare to move, because I was afraid that the matter of the foreign monk would be involved in me, and my life would be involved in it.

But those who hide and hide are still known by others.

The fourth master knew this person because there were villagers near Zhuangzi who erected monuments for their ancestors, and the tombstones were set here.It is something worthy of showing off for future generations to erect a decent tombstone for the ancestors.When chatting together, I heard that the patterns on the tombstones are so particular. The painter learned from foreigners earlier, and foreign words are good.That's what's on my mind.Then he asked De Hai to check the person's background, no, he found it directly today.

This is a small person who couldn't be smaller. If it wasn't for a coincidence, he would have been buried in this quarry all his life.

The fourth master waved his fan and saw that the other party was sweating, so he said directly: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. The matter of the foreign monk has nothing to do with you. You don't believe in foreign monks or foreign religions. What are you afraid of? Come here this time, This is for you." He stretched out his hand while speaking.Hong Hui handed over a letter of appointment with big red brocade cover and big letters in gold, and the fourth master took it, and then handed it to Liu San'er, "Have you heard of the Royal Academy?"

Listen... heard!

Six months earlier, I sent stones there.Now the hottest job in the capital is the academy, and even the garden for the empress dowager has to be in the back row.

Hearing about the Royal Academy, Liu San'er was overjoyed, thinking that he had come to live.I took it without looking at anything.You just scan it when you get it in your hand, so particular?He had never taken on such a big job in a serious manner, and he thought that he was so particular about being a painter.

Seeing that he picked it up, Fourth Master got up, "Is this a live pick?"

"Accept! Accept! Accept!" How could such a good job not be accepted?How dare you not accept?

"Okay! Dr. Yangwen is you, and you will go to the academy with the letter of appointment in three days. This letter of appointment is your passport." After speaking, he lifted his foot and left.

Liu San'er was stunned: Wait!No!Dr. Yang Wen?

He knows about the doctor. He worked during the renovation of the Imperial College, and the old gentleman there said he was a doctor.It seems that he is still an official of the eighth or ninth rank.

But why hasn’t this foreign language doctor heard of it?

But this title is not difficult to understand. He quickly realized that he was asked to go to the Royal Academy to teach foreign languages.

He was not surprised, but frightened.He is a painter who can speak foreign languages. He read the Three Character Classic and a hundred surnames when he was a child, but he was blind. Why... why did he get a doctorate?

Holding the letter of appointment, he hurriedly chased after him, and the carriage over there had already moved.He didn't know who the other party was, and he didn't dare to shout, so he just chased behind the carriage.

"Stop." Si Ye ordered in the car, outside Zhang Shaoshan immediately controlled the horse.

Fourth Master opened the curtain and looked back. Liu San'er ran over sweating profusely, and the dust on his face was washed away by the sweat, making him look even more dirty.

"This lord!" Liu San'er looked at the fourth lord, and wanted to hand over the letter of appointment, but for some reason, he held it in his hand.He almost asked in a trembling voice, "I heard that the academy was built by an old sage, so we don't need anyone to use it. We have foreigners in the Qing Dynasty, and they can teach better. Why did you choose a junior?" of?"

Fourth Master talked to him through the car window, first asked: "Do you believe in the Western monks?"

Liu San'er froze for a moment, not understanding what this meant.

The fourth master smiled and said: "You don't believe it! What do you believe in? You believe in ancestors, you believe in filial piety, you know that your parents are not far away, you know that Ye Luo must return to her roots. This is to use you reason."

Liu San'er shook her head: "Young one... still don't understand."

The fourth master smiled: "The imperial court needs envoys, envoys who can speak foreign languages. The students you teach will be ministers of foreign affairs in the future. And the foreign ministers of the imperial court must be released and brought back. .understand?"

Liu San'er stood there for a long while not knowing how to reply, but Fourth Master didn't wait for him, and put down the curtain: "Let's go."

The carriage gradually went away, Liu San'er stood staring blankly at the passing carriage, until the steward patted him on the shoulder, he came back to his senses.The workers leaned over one by one, looking at the letter of employment eagerly, but they didn't dare to joke like before.Just stood on the side and said some words of congratulations.The steward was also a little embarrassed because he photographed him just now, "Then from now on... it will be Mr. Liu!"

The corners of Liu San'er's mouth twitched, he hugged the letter of appointment tightly, and hurriedly said: "I haven't gone yet! I don't know if it's true. I'll ask for leave for a few days, and if it's true later... I'll invite the big guy drink wine."

Everyone flattered him, and the steward even called the mule cart that came to pick up the goods, and gave him a ride.

His family is in the outer city, and there is only one old mother in the family, and her eyesight is not good.He didn't say anything about it, he just kept it in his heart.In the past few days, he was hiding at home alone, speaking foreign languages ​​by himself.He took out another third of the money, went secretly to a pawn shop outside, bought an old robe, washed it at home, and it was good to wear on the day he took office.

It's not that he didn't think that he was a liar, but the two words on the letter of appointment were not printed in gold, and it was only after he came back to take a closer look that they were supposed to be real gold.No one would use real gold as bait to deceive someone who has nothing.

So, I woke up early, ate a pancake, didn't dare to drink more water, went out and hired a mule cart to go to the academy.

Because I came early, there was no one on the road.The soldiers held their hands on the road, and he was afraid for a moment.After wandering outside for three laps, the other party came over first and warned that the idlers should not stay here any longer.

Only then did he pluck up the courage to take out the letter of appointment from the cloth bag, "This... can I go in?"

The soldier had been notified before and knew what kind of person was coming, so he immediately said, "Please. Follow this road and there are people waiting over there."

The other party nodded and bowed to him, and he also nodded and bowed to him. The sudden change made him very uncomfortable.

Going straight along this wide road, it was blocked by a huge boulder.The words "Royal Academy" are engraved on the boulder, and there is a huge gatehouse behind the boulder.There stood a lad in an indigo robe.He approached and wanted to inquire, but he saw the words 'Royal Academy' embroidered on his chest. Before he could speak, the young man said, "Is it Dr. Liu? Please, Mr. Jin is already waiting."

Who is Mr. Kim?

Anyway, no matter who it is, if the other party knows you, just follow in.

He greeted this young man just now, but when he saw the other's side face, he was slightly taken aback, and quickly lowered his head.He has seen this person before, he sent stones here once before, and this person is standing on a high place to patrol.Said it was Prince Guo.

He felt that he might have made a mistake.

But right after he felt that it was not true, there are still many craftsmen who are busy here, and they have all seen them from a distance. On the one hand, although he didn't say kneel down, he didn't dare to raise his head.

He has so much virtue and ability to ask a prince to pick him up here.

After entering, I saw Mr. Jin, but it was Mr. Jin who asked me to find the quarry three days ago.He watched the prince pour tea for Mr. Jin, and then stood behind him. He didn't dare to guess the identity of Mr. Jin.

His mind was buzzing, he didn't really know what people said, he just mechanically hummed.

After coming out from inside again, all the way out under the respectful and flattering eyes of the craftsmen and those in charge, he finally realized that he was really going to be a teacher here.There is a salary of 12 taels of silver every month, and if you want, you can get one bright and two dark houses.

He stood at the entrance of the academy and looked in. Who would have thought that life could take such a turn under such circumstances.

The academy wants to hire a gentleman, and I don't know how many people are staring at this place. Many great scholars are still waiting, saying to see who can win the favor of the old sage and be hired.But after waiting and waiting, such a result came.

laugh!

Many people laughed in their hearts after hearing this.

But as soon as the second person was invited, many well-informed people couldn't sit still. They felt that they still had to discipline their children well. Don't wait for their children to be returned as soon as they go there. I can't afford to lose that person. .

Who is the second person invited?It was Qianlong's martial arts master, and the master who taught him boxing was Zhang Heiwu.This person is the descendant of Yue Family Boxing, and he was very famous in the Jianghu in his early years.Now he is also an old man in his sixties, but he is still in good spirits.Although he has taught an emperor, he is very humble in dealing with things. Except for his close ministers, no one else knows that he has such a status.

If it is said that the son of the Xungui family who has already called many people saw the way to climb, then the next two people couldn't help but not be alarmed.

who?Agui and Zhaohui.

The letters of appointment received by the two are different, and they are special letters of appointment.I will give lectures when I have time. In addition, please recommend some veterans in the army. It is okay to be disabled, as long as you are good at riding and shooting.

Qianlong's heart immediately relaxed. These two people belonged to the group who could not go twice a year, just to make a name for themselves.He thought so.Seeing these two people coming with letters of appointment, he still smiled happily, "It can be seen that Huang Ama still has a lot of fancy for you."

This was the first time that he had admitted so frankly in front of outsiders that the late emperor was still alive.

The two of them didn't know what to say for a while, but they accepted the letter of appointment, and the two of them were quite honorable.The next day, I took people to report first.

In the clan, the fourth master also invited one, who is it?sixteen!

Sixteen is not only good at numbers, he is also good at firearms.Hongli taught firearms in his early sixteenth year.

With these backgrounds, everyone can see that the academy recruits teachers and recruits students, which is also unique.Then Fourth Master asked someone to set up a list. The academy still lacked a teacher. No matter what field you are good at, you can apply for it.It doesn't matter whether you have fame or not, whether you are an official or a commoner, it's all right.

As soon as this list was posted, the capital and Zhili were the first to move.Those who work in the six departments are always frustrated.I also felt that I had some talents, so I was willing to give it a try.Even if it doesn't work, I want to make some impression on Si Ye.

So, fourth master was very busy.He took Honghui there in the morning and came back at night.Lin Yutong was not idle either, and some of them who thought they were good at this one came over and wanted to try it.Then try it.Fourth master asked people to wait, then sent Qian Sheng over, waiting for Lin Yutong to come up with a question.You don't need too many topics, just be precise.If you can't even pass Tongtong's level, it's useless.

Like mathematics, the Guozijian also opened this course, and several doctors came over there, but Lin Yutong's questions were sent back.A few more came here today, and two of them belonged to Master Qian Liang. After answering the questions, Qian Sheng brought back the test papers.Lin Yutong flipped through the pages one by one, and finally saw a reliable one.At least it can be seen that this person's answers have been influenced by Western mathematical thought.She took out this person's test paper, "That's all. Tell him to come back tomorrow, and everyone else should return it."

Qian Sheng memorized the number and hurried over, "Number Six! Who is Number Six?"

"I! I!" A particularly thin boy stood up behind, "My lord, I am number six."

Qian Sheng glanced at the other party and smiled, "I invite you to come over tomorrow, or at this time today."

That's over!The kid grinned and promised.

After sending the person away, Qian Sheng went back and reported to Lin Yutong, "Looking young, he looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is thin and small. I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public even if he goes to school."

It's good to be young, it's rare to meet such a talent.Lin Yutong specifically urged, "Bring me directly tomorrow."

When Qian Sheng came with someone the next day, Lin Yutong was stunned as soon as he entered the yard, "You girl, you are so brave."

The 'boy' widened his eyes, flinched back a bit, and then raised his head, "Who is the girl? Sister, you can't talk like that!"

Lin Yutong looked at her half-shaven head. Before seeing this girl, she couldn't believe that there was such a bold girl in this world.

Qian Sheng's face turned pale. Although the masters of the academy did not have a clear grade, they still received the imperial salary.Where can there be women's affairs?He immediately scolded: "You are the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Who? Who deceived the king?" She said, rolling her eyes, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, she suddenly turned around and ran away. Qian Sheng hurriedly chased after Lin Yutong. Just as Lin Yutong was about to call Qian Sheng, the door came He let out a sound, it was Hongluo's voice, "Where did the daredevil come from?"

Qian Sheng hurriedly said: "Master Liu, you can't tell people to run away."

Hongluo brought him under escort, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yutong asked Hongluo to let go, and then looked at the girl who was frightened into a quail with her arms folded, "Come in with me."

Hongluo watched as his queen mother called that boy in, and because he didn't know the identity of the other person, he asked Qian Sheng, "What's the situation?"

"A girl's hair was shaved to apply for a job as a gentleman."

Hongluo: "..." Recently, everyone wanted to come over to stand out, and many old children in the court also wanted to come over, but they were burnt by their own Huang Ama.It is understandable for these people to be noisy, but a girl's family is really rare.

The girl lowered her head, feeling ashamed of her bald head at the moment: "My surname is Mei, and my family is in Anhui. I came here by myself."

A little girl who has learned this level of mathematics must be from her family. Otherwise, where would she go to school?

Lin Yutong thought of a person, "My family is in Anhui, and my surname is Mei... Shanshu, did you have someone named Mei Wending in your ancestors?"

The girl rolled her eyes, "That's my ancestor."

No wonder!Mei Wending was an astronomer and mathematician in the early Qing Dynasty. He was the "No. 1 Calculator" and the "Founder of the Mountain" in the Qing Dynasty. Big World Science Giants".

And the Mei family has produced mathematicians from generation to generation, from Mei Wending's brothers, to his son, to his grandson, all of them are very successful.

Even now in the court, it seems that the Mei family is still an official.Lin Yutong looked at Hongluo outside, "Is Zuodu Yushi called Mei Chengcheng?"

Hongluo took two steps in, and glanced at the girl: "Yes! His name is Mei Chengcheng. He is Mei Wending's grandson."

The girl drooped her head, and said unwillingly, "Mei Yancheng is my grandfather. Actually, I said that I went to the Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat, and then sneaked here." Then, she raised her head and said Knowing that she was afraid, "the notice didn't say no to women. I've learned it well, and my grandfather said that my talent is the best among the two generations of the Mei family..." Her tears of grievance fell, " My father and uncle disappointed my grandfather, and my brothers and sisters also disappointed my grandfather. It's just me... Every time my grandfather sees me, he can't stop shaking his head. I know, it's a pity for him, but it's a pity that I'm a girl. But What happened to the girl's house?"

She was crying here, expressing her grievances.Over there, Lin Yutong gave Qian Sheng a look and told him to send someone to check on the girl.She temporarily stumbled this girl here in the name of an examination school.

In half a day, the news was in hand.This girl's name is Mei Kaiyun, and she is indeed the granddaughter of Zuodu Yushi.Recently her grandmother was showing her a marriage.The family in question is also in Anhui, and they are from the same hometown as the Mei family, and their surname is Wang.The grandson of Xuanhua prefect Wang Wangfu.

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, Wang Wangfu?She really knew this man.The reason why they know him is because Wang Wangfu has a granddaughter who is Wang Zhenyi, a famous mathematics teacher in the Qing Dynasty.She thought of Wang Zhenyi who would not be born in more than ten years, and then looked at Mei Kaiyun who was discussing marriage with the Wang family, and couldn't help laughing.No matter how harsh the times are to women, among them, there are always outstanding ones who can break through the cage, live like a star, and emit their own light!
