Chen Ping walked out of the perfume workshop of Tianxiang Pavilion.
The brewing process is still going very smoothly, but the fermentation of the koji takes time, and then it can be distilled and purified, so this cannot be done in a hurry.
He returned to Zhuyuan, and just as he was about to open the door and go in, he heard Zhao Wenhe's voice inside the door.
"Thank you Zhiyuan, thank you eldest son! Since you have entered the Zhuyuan gate, you must abide by my rules." The tone was very stern.
"This is what a junior should do, sir, please punish me."
"Pa!"
"Cheng Cheng, why are you laughing? Sooner or later, I will be pissed off by you!"
"Bah bang bang!"
"Ah! I was wrong, ah!"
Chen Ping was shocked. He didn't know what happened to make Zhao Wenhe so angry. He quickly pushed the door open and entered.
I saw that the front yard of the Zhuyuan was in a mess, the bamboo platform had fallen to the ground, teapots and cups were scattered everywhere, and the ground was covered with bamboo leaves.
Zhao Wenhe holds his beard in his left hand and a ruler in his right hand, standing sideways with his back to the door.
Xie Zhiyuan obediently lowered his head, standing with his hands straight and palms facing up. His palms were red and his clothes were disheveled.
Cheng Cheng clutched his buttocks and knelt down on the ground, his expression twisted in pain, and half of his right sleeve was missing.
"Oh, Chen Ping is back." Zhao Wenhe heard the noise, turned around and saw Chen Ping, his expression immediately became much kinder.
"Teacher." Chen Ping bowed and asked, "I wonder what the two senior brothers did to make you so angry?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenhe subconsciously tightened the ruler in his hand, looked at the scene in the courtyard and said angrily.
"The two of them will be in their prime next year, but they are still like children, laughing and playing in the bamboo garden. What a shame! Look, what they have done here."
Chen Pingping looked slightly stunned. He didn't expect the two senior brothers to be so childlike, but the movement was really loud.
But it’s understandable. Men will remain young until they die.
"This junior is naughty, I won't dare to do it again next time." Xie Zhiyuan sincerely admitted his mistake.
Cheng Cheng was still kneeling on the ground and groaning. It seemed that those three strokes of the ruler were quite powerful.
"Why don't I come and clean up, and the teacher should go to the academy to teach." Chen Ping quickly smoothed things over.
"Let them clean up on their own. Chen Ping, you stay away from them, lest anyone who gets close to evil will be punished. Also, although you are the head of the case, you must remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity." Zhao Wenhe said a few words, turned around and left. p>
Chen Ping and Xie Zhiyuan bowed to see them off.
Cheng Cheng lay down on the ground and kept thinking in his mind.
‘Ming Shi and Su Yiyi asked Xie Zhi to stay away from Chen Ping, I asked Xie Zhi to stay away from Ming Shi, and the teacher asked Chen Ping to stay away from us. Why is this so chaotic!’
Xie Zhiyuan rubbed his red palms, pulled Chen Ping to the room, and talked about what was mentioned in the letter.
"Brother, what do you think we should do?"
After hearing this, Chen Ping immediately felt funny, "Why are you writing about me when you are exchanging letters with girls from the Ming family?"
"I'm not worried that they will misunderstand you, so I want to show off my eldest brother's unique talent, so I write what you usually say in the letter." Xie Zhiyuan explained.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. It's just a misunderstanding. Anyway, I don't know them." Chen Ping disagreed.
"Brother, what you said is wrong." Xie Zhiyuan expressed his disapproval, "Both of you are very important to me, how can you become estranged because of a small misunderstanding? Moreover, Su Yiyi repeatedly asked in the letter that the letters between me and Miss Ming Shi were very fast.
She occupied it."
It turned out that he thought Miss Su was disturbing his romance with Miss Ming.
"Hey, what do you think we should do?" Chen Ping asked with a sigh.
"Please, brother, please reply to Na Su Yiyi."
"Isn't this... not good? I don't know her personally. Isn't it too presumptuous to write a letter directly?"
"Su Yiyi raised many questions about my eldest brother, how can I tolerate her?" As he said, Xie Zhiyuan took out four or five letters from his arms. It seemed that he regarded them as treasures and carried them with him every day.
Chen Ping took the letter and opened it and read it. The woman surnamed Su had objections to her proposal of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce, and expressed many of her opinions eloquently.
"This Su Yiyi is...?"
"Ms. Ming Shi's close friend has been inseparable since she was a child."
Chen Ping nodded and understood the words in the letter.
Due to the limitations of thinking, the ancients looked at things very differently from modern people like him. We cannot say that she was wrong, but Chen Ping's ideas were too advanced.
"Brother, write directly to Su Yiyi, so that you can talk about yours, and I'll talk about ours with Miss Ming Shi." Xie Zhiyuan continued, saying that he had been suffering from Su Yiyi's dove's nest in his letters recently, which caused Ming Shi to be confused every time.
Only a few words.
Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh, remembering some scenes from his previous life.
To pursue a girl, you must get her best friend. This is an eternal truth.
Although Chen Ping had never been in love in his previous life, he had done a lot of covering up and creating atmosphere. Girls must bring their best friends with them on their first date. At that time, Chen Ping was Wannian's supporting role, responsible for pleasing people, creating topics, praising brothers, and finally
Lure your besties away and let them be alone.
Unexpectedly, it is like this now. Usually beautiful women’s best friends are weird. I wonder what kind of Miss Qian Jin this Su Yiyi is.
But Chen Ping then thought about it, am I not that superficial person? I always help my brothers when they are in trouble, so I should make a pen pal.
"Okay, I'll write it. There's nothing in these letters that I can't read."
Xie Zhiyuan quickly shook his head and called Miss Mingshi innocent.
Chen Ping laughed and nodded, asking him to pick up the letter tomorrow.
After the people left, Chen Ping opened the letters one by one and read them carefully.
[To rejuvenate the country through industry and commerce, this is the work of craftsmen and is of no benefit to the country. Those who study should obey nature and have a correct heart...]
Revitalizing industry and encouraging the development of industry and commerce has always been Chen Ping's point of view.
Not only that, he also said that it would be better if subjects such as arithmetic, science and engineering could be added to the imperial examination.
[If the heart is not right, evil thoughts and evil plans will arise. If the heart is upright, just like the way of educating saints, not being disturbed by money, fame and fortune, and knowing the overall situation, isn't it the right way? Craftsmen and businessmen are not the same after all. Money is the body.
How can foreign objects encircle me?]
Chen Ping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Apart from anything else, this Miss Su's words are like embroidery, her handwriting is beautiful, her organization is clear, and she has distinct layers, which is really rare.
Then, I saw two small words "ask for advice" in the corner of the letter.
In the whole article, only these two words can make people feel some obvious emotions.
However, she seemed to have misunderstood what Chen Ping meant.
The so-called rejuvenation of the country through industry and commerce does not mean that scholars should put down their books and devote themselves to craftsmen or commerce.
Rather, on the basis of reading and practicing, you should develop your own strengths as much as possible, and don’t be someone who studies to death.
However, it is normal for Su Yiyi to think so. In this era, what we pay attention to is "cultivation".
The central power of the entire society is placed on the scholar class and farmers. Compared with business and industry, farming is the fundamental foundation, and studying is the way to get ahead.
Studying to clarify one's ambitions and referring to the imperial examination are the mainstream of this era and have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The people are the foundation of the country, and agriculture is the foundation of the people. This is a tacit understanding throughout the entire feudal era.
In the agricultural era, these two were the cornerstones of a stable society.
Therefore, scholars and peasants were at the front, while craftsmen were discriminated against and merchants were at the bottom.
Chen Ping took his time and read the contents of several other letters. Some suggested that although his poems were good, they were not as good as poetry; others suggested that he was good at arithmetic, but in fact he was putting the cart before the horse.
Basically, it is the collision of ancient and modern ideological dimensions, resulting in misunderstandings, and there is no real right or wrong.
Chen Ping smiled, listed all the questions one by one, and wrote back to answer them one by one.
