Chapter 11 Waterwheel
After four days of exams, some people's legs and feet are weak when they walk out of the exam room.
Shen Anqiu, Li Anjie, and Shen Dongdong met up and returned to the inn together. They happened to meet Qin Ping at the door of the inn. His eyes were a little dark.
The three of us have discussed the route and will leave tomorrow.
Li Anjie asked, "When will I leave?"
Qin Ping was inexplicably angry, "We can't wait to release the results?"
Although a notice would be sent to the county in three days, Qin Ping did not want to delay at all.
Shen Dongdong was speechless, "Sooner or later, you will know that you can live there without asking for money?"
Qin Ping sneered.
"Let's go, he's waiting there." He was definitely the first one.
Shen Anqiu said calmly, "Let them go."
A few people arrived home in the middle of the night. Shen Anqiu walked in and found a yellow-haired dog in the yard. It was wagging its tail close to him. It must have been raised a few days after he left, but the dog probably didn't recognize him. ah?
Taking a closer look, there was one of his old clothes spread out in the kennel.
Shen Anqiu...that girl.
He quietly entered the door, lit the oil lamp, took off his outer lining, and had just taken off half of his clothes, when someone came in behind him, "Qing..." He saw her walking around him, walking to the bed, and pulling the quilt in one breath.
Shen Anqiu shut up and looked closer, but he didn't wake up at all.
Is that... sleepwalking?
Liu Zhu got up early and knocked on the door, but saw Yun Qingyin coming out of Shen Anqiu's room, "Miss..."
Yun Qingyin said calmly, "He came to talk to Shen Anqiu about something."
"What's going on?"
"I don't understand big things."
Liu Zhu thought of how Mr. Shen, who had always been in a very light mood, smiled and nodded to her when she got up early. At this moment, she finally understood some of the reasons why.
Shen Nanyun's door to the west wing opened, and Yun Qingyin entered the kitchen without looking at her, only to find that the rice had been prepared, and the porridge and steamed buns were very hot.
Yun Qingyin took a steamed bun and led it out with rhubarb.
Shen Nanyun asked Liu Zhu, "Is Mr. Shen back?"
"No." Liu Zhu replied.
After receiving the answer, Shen Nanyun also went out.
Shen An Qiufou and Shen Dongdong went to Han Fuzi's place together. The county school would start enrolling students that fall. Han Fuzi told them about that and asked a few people to prepare well.
Three days later, the results of the government examination were released. The first place was Qin Ping, who was ranked first in the government. He directly obtained the title of scholar and did not have to take the college examination. Shen Anqiu was in the first class, and Shen Dongdong and Li Anjie were also on the list. .
Master Han couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear with joy.
Shen Anqiu passed the government examination, and Yun Qingyin's renting the house went smoothly.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Early on, Yun Qingyin led Rhubarb out of the house. When passing by the field, she saw the old man in the village carrying water to irrigate the field.
The gathering area of ancient residents was close to the waterfront area. There is a small river to the north of Shenjiaba, and all the fields in the village depend on it. However, the efficiency of irrigation is extremely low and relies on manual labor. Therefore, the field output in the east half of the year is almost No.
"Girl, are you in town?"
"Well, I got up so early."
The old man laughed loudly, "No, finish watering it early so you don't have to stand in the sun."
Yun Qingyin arrived in Zhenzai, cleaned up the unfinished restaurant, and went to the carpenter's shop to order some low-profile tables. Yun Qingyin held Dahuang's hand and stood at the door without going inside. The apprentice came over and handed Yun the bill.
Voiceless.
"So many?" There are twenty taels, half more than Yun Qingyin expected.
The apprentice said, "The wood he uses in his home is of good quality. Although it is more expensive than others, the work made by his master is durable and beautiful. You can't find anything like it anywhere else."
There was quite a bit of pride in his words.
Yun Qingyin looked at him and asked, "So my master can do anything?"
"Of course, no matter how complicated the drawing is, there is no drawing that his master will not read. His master said that if anyone can come up with the drawings that stump him, he will not charge a cent of his labor fee!"
Dahuang walked up to Yun Qingyin and waved his tail. Yun Qingyin said, "Then let me bring him a piece of paper."
Yun Qingyin drew a drawing of a waterwheel and gave it to the apprentice, "Let my master make it together, and we will include it in the labor cost."
The apprentice took it and approached the shop.
Yun Qingyin led Dahuang not far when she was stopped again. The apprentice wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Girl, his master said he doesn't need to pay me any more wages."
Yun Qingyin smiled and said, "That won't be a problem for my master, right?"
"His master can do it." The apprentice's eyes were extremely bright. "He said that the drawing can be used to offset the wages. If the girl feels that it is not good enough, she can add more."
"No need." But it's an unexpected blessing to claim the wages. "That's not our wisdom in the first place."
After Yun Qingyin had gone far away, the apprentice scratched his head, not understanding what Hong Yun Qingyin meant.
In the month of delivery, Shen Anqiu helped Yun Qingyin move the tables and chairs to the restaurant for storage. As for the small waterwheel, Yun Qingyin hired a carriage, pulled it back, and placed it by the water.
The master of the carpenter's shop came over specially to help the old man build an aqueduct and extend it into the farmland. He saw that the land that could not be watered for half a month was irrigated in half an hour. This move made the carpenter's shop famous on the same day.
Orders are full.
The old master did not raise the price, and even lowered it a little. Two taels of silver could make a small one. Later, the Great Yan Dynasty promoted waterwheels in various places. The old master was treated favorably by the Ministry of Industry and made a lot of money. This was no longer the case.
That’s another story.
Compared with Yun Qingyin's side, where everything went smoothly, Shen Nanyun was extremely anxious. That day she found Shen Anqiu and said that she could let him get the first place, but the wrong person immediately closed the door.
In a hurry, Shen Nanyun revealed the test questions to Qin Ping.
And sure enough, Qin Ping came first in the exam.
Now she has questions about the college exam, the provincial exam, and even whether she can take the exam in her lap, just waiting for Shen Anqiu to come to her.
But whether it is wrong or not, the party should still do what he should do,
Shen Nanyun tightened the handkerchief in her legs and stood by the window. She was not comfortable living there at all. She abandoned the luxurious courtyard of the Hou Mansion and ran there, otherwise Shen Anqiu would be gone.
She knew that Shen Anqiu would become the number one scholar in high school in the future, and even become the first minister of the foreign cabinet, so she was willing to help him. Since he did not know good and evil, she would train Qin Ping and let Qin Ping replace Shen Anqiu and become the number one scholar in the new subject. Not possible.
Before leaving there, Shen Nanyun looked back for the first time. Shen Anqiu would definitely regret it, and from now on, she would not only be the daughter of the Marquis, but also a talented woman who would attract the admiration of Tiandong students.
…
When she woke up in the morning, Yun Qingyin opened her eyes. After looking around the room, she sighed and felt sleepwalking again. She also felt a little sore in her back.
She didn't care, opened the quilt and got into bed, intending to sneak away quietly while Shen Anqiu was not around, but Shi Tu didn't touch the door, and the door opened from the outside.
