134. The Fifth Retirement World [06]

Since Yan Xuan had cognition, the education he received from his parents, teachers, and even from his group of friends, if he wanted to become an outstanding person, he should study hard, pass the imperial examination, and become a member of the gentry. Only in this way can he bring honor to his family and live up to his ancestors.

As for the second way, it is to take the path of a warrior as a second choice. But compared with those literati with bright moon and clear wind, it is still far behind.

Although Yan Xuan is still young, he found that he did not have much talent for reading compared to others. Every time he read, he wanted to fall to the ground and dream about Zhou Gong. Master Shen talked about the great principles one after another, but to be honest, little Yan Xuan basically didn't take them to heart, except that Master Shen would always end with his brother as a model, which he remembered clearly.

Yan Xuan was young, and had seen the world except for the few acres of land at home, and had only been to relatives' homes and schools. So after listening for a long time, in Yan Xuan's heart, his elder brother Yan Ling was naturally a perfect person. If nothing unexpected happened, just like Master Shen said, his elder brother would definitely be the top scholar and bring honor to the family.

But now, his elder brother who was untainted by mud in his mind was playing with mud?

The pigs a few days ago were handled by servants after all, and his elder brother told him the method orally. Although Yan Xuan felt it was novel, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But now the scene in front of him made him open his mouth in shock.

...

The candlelight in the ancient night flickered, and Yan Ling cherished his current body, so he did everything during the day. He went to bed early at night, and no one required him to get up early during the day because he had just recovered from a serious illness. Yan Ling's sleep quality was simply the best he had ever had in several worlds.

His skin, which was originally white and almost transparent, finally had a trace of blood color of a living person.

Yan Ling was impulsive about building a kiln. Although he had been fortunate enough to become a person of various professions, he had never been involved in this aspect. But he was not completely ignorant. At least he wrote down what he found interesting when he read books.

Because it was the experimental stage, Yan Ling did not ask others to do it.

From building the frame, mixing mud, and kiln shaping, Yan Ling did it himself, so that he could make adjustments if there were any problems later.

Yan Ling did not make a huge kiln that would appear in the documentary. That kind of kiln could be considered later. What he made now was a mini version of the kiln.

Light the straw and firewood for the last drying.

After the fire was extinguished, an ugly thing that looked like a small mound and felt hard appeared in front of everyone.

The servants were curious, but they still abided by their duties and did not dare to speak.

Yan Xuan dared, but he really couldn't like this ugly thing, for fear that he would not be able to stop talking and say something, which would make his elder brother unhappy.

Yan Xuan didn't know the purpose of his elder brother doing this, maybe he just thought it was fun, just like himself, compared with the neat words on the book, he liked crooked picture books.

What is this called?

Right! Different people have different preferences!

Yan Ling stood opposite the "small mound" with frowns in thought, while Yan Xuan was reading a book and eating snacks beside the stone table, his little mouth "clicking" did not stop for the whole morning, and in the end, the book fell to one side, and the fat head that had become more and more round in the past few days was placed on the table, his eyes closed, and he actually fell asleep.

Although it was sunny outside now, it was not summer after all. In this ancient time when there was no cold medicine, it would be bad if you caught a cold.

Yan Ling waved his hand, and the servants understood and carried the young master to Yan Ling's room gently.

In the next few days, there was a wisp of smoke rising from the courtyard. The success rate of porcelain was not high at the beginning, and many of them had cracks underneath.

Yan Ling took a pen and paper and recorded all these changes, and then made adjustments.

Finally, on the third day, Yan Ling fired a batch of successful white porcelain bowls.

…

"Brother Lu, I heard that you entered the palace this morning. Look, do you think my dress looks good today?"

Zeng Shu looked at the man in front of her who was as cold as the stars in the cold night, with full admiration in her eyes. Her face was shy, and the tip of her ear was faintly red like peach blossoms, looming between the pearl hairpin and the black hair.

"I dare not speak nonsense." Li Lu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his mind, his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded respectfully.

He just stepped slightly to the side, pulling a little distance between the two.

Zeng Shu did not notice this detail. "Forget it, forget it. I knew that Brother Lu was an honest man. Otherwise, he would not have been so stubborn as last time and almost let my father put you in the prison of Shengjing."

"Speaking of this, I just remembered that Brother Lu, you haven't thanked me properly yet."

"Thank you, Princess Three!"

But in Li Yunlu's mind, the scene of that day quickly emerged.

--"Li Yunlu, is this how you serve as a minister?"

--"I dare not, I just say what I have said."

--"If you reflect on it now, I will forgive your nonsense."

--"Since I came here, I have already checked it out. Lord Handan has no second thoughts. He..."

Unfortunately, the man did not listen to him.

Li Yunlu's eyes dimmed.

He and his father are devoted to the country, but the monarch they believe in is not the wise and benevolent monarch he originally imagined. Instead, he listens to one side and believes in it, and regards the words of the saint as a joke.

Li Junlu knew that what he did would not affect his father, and he was not afraid of death, so Li Junlu was not surprised when he heard the decree to punish him.

But later, because of a favored princess's misbehavior, the final punishment was like a child's play. Although in the end, by mistake, His Majesty was asked to re-examine the imperial examination fraud case, why should such an act be done by an emperor?

Really? Really? It’s the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Li Junlu couldn't help but clenched his hands under his sleeves.

"Brother Lu, I heard that a new store opened in Shengjingli. I thought about it. By the way, what's it called? A porcelain store. I saw her when I was having tea at Aunt Huang's house a few days ago. She was fair and translucent. , just like jade, so beautiful. If Brother Lu has nothing to do later, we can go out of the palace together..."

"Thank you, Third Princess, for your kindness, but there are still many things piled up in the government office. There are many matters that need to be dealt with, so we can't go together."

"Is that so? That's such a pity." Zeng Shu's cheerful little face suddenly darkened, but she didn't want to embarrass her brother Lu, so she forced herself to suppress a smile.

But anyone with a discerning eye could almost see the disappointment in her heart.

Li Junlu looked away without saying a word.

"Brother Nalu, please go back quickly. You can finish handling those affairs early and rest early."

"Um."

Li Junlu's figure gradually walked away, and the anger on Zeng Shu's face could no longer be hidden.

"It's just like when I was a child. I'm just a stubborn piece of wood who doesn't know how to change. No wonder my father was so angry that day. It's not as fun to go shopping with me because of official duties. Could it be that I'm such a beautiful woman standing beside him? Isn't he excited right now?"

"Yes, yes, princess, she is the most beautiful." The palace servant next to her replied with a smile.

"Forget it, brother Lu is a person who does big things. This princess is so considerate, so naturally she won't bother him. However, the porcelain that just appeared recently is quite interesting."

"It just so happens that we have nothing to do today, so we'll go take a look."

…

Yan Ling's purpose was not to make money, but because the finished porcelain products produced at home became more and more popular due to continuous experiments, and later Yan Xuan found it fun to join again. To avoid waste and becoming waste products, he discussed it with his mother. .

When Mrs. Yan got married, she had a few land deeds for shops and didn't make much, but it was basically running smoothly over the years.

So Mrs. Yan didn't feel distressed at all, and directly transferred one of the shops to Yan Ling with a wave of her hand.

He threatened that his eldest son could sell whatever he wanted in this shop.

Is it too harmful to the body to treat reading as a career, or just treat it as a leisure hobby? Life is long, and being a carefree rich man is also a good choice.

It's just that her son is good at everything, but he is easy to get into trouble. In order to prevent his son from getting too interested, Mrs. Yan personally hired two useful stewards for her eldest son to help with the sales and organization of the store.

…

Zeng Shu walked on the street for a long time but couldn't find the store.

"Third...Third Young Master, did we go the wrong way?" a young palace servant who followed him out said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, you won't go wrong. It should be this way. You see there are more people on the right. If we go to the right, we should be able to reach the so-called porcelain shop."

"Really?" The little palace man's tone was full of uncertainty. It's not that she doesn't want to give the third princess face. If her memory is correct, they have walked this road under their feet no less than three times. As for the road ahead on the right.

The little palace man looked at a red-cockaded rooster jumping up and down at the right intersection in front of him, as well as the sounds of various animals, and felt that the road ahead seemed increasingly unclear.

The little palace man hesitated, considering whether to tell the princess that they were lost.

"Hahaha, brother, I'm just telling her that the two of you must be lost."

Little Palace Man:! ! !

The little palace lady who thought she was the one who said it was shocked!

Since Yan Ling came to this world, except for the initial prison, this was the first time he left the Yan Mansion since he was sent home. But Yan Ling didn't feel strange. With the memory of the original owner going out a few times, Yan Ling behaved very naturally.

Today was the holiday for Yan Xuan's school. The two hit it off and went out for a walk.

When I was tired from walking, I found a place to rest and drink tea.

But this time? As soon as I drank, I met someone extraordinary.

Zeng Shu felt heat rising on her face, "Whose kid is talking nonsense!"

Zeng Shu had always been a free-spirited person, and at this time she even forgot about princess etiquette. She strode over with a sideways face, staring straight at the little kid who dared to make fun of her.

Yan Xuan has been very courageous since he was a child, and he always kept low in front of his eldest brother. This was because his eldest brother was weak and sick. If he accidentally got angry with his eldest brother, he would never have a chance to play out again. But in front of others, he never admits defeat.

Yan Xuan stuck out her tongue and stared back.

Then he was pushed back by his elder brother.

Yan Xuan: Humph, consider him lucky.

…

"My brother is naughty and has offended the young master. I still hope Haihan!"
