1120 Chapter 1120-taking shape
Gu en felt a headache.’I’m just envious that my sisters can go hunting.’
Why did you let me be the top scorer?
After being taught by Gu shouxin, Gu en realized that it was not easy to be the top scholar.
He didn’t even know if he could pass the general examination at 18, let alone 15.
Gu en could only listen to her and strive to pass the exam at the age of eighteen.
Zhang Shi looked at Gu en’s obedient appearance and was happy. She asked Gu shouxin, ” “Second brother, just bear with it for a little more than a month. It’ll be three months soon. Isn’t it time for enlightenment? His father and I don’t know anything. Look at Yingluo.”
Gu Ren was speechless.
Was this still his adorable chubby lady?
She was actually in a hurry to find him a book to read?
Gu shouxin said with a serious face,”big brother, sister-in-law, don’t worry. Leave the Enlightenment of enduring to me.” There’s also little seven and little eight in the family, and I haven’t taught the children anything, so why don’t we start with enduring?”
Gu Ren wanted to argue, but his parents beat him to it.
“Second brother, you’re a good uncle!” Uncle Gu said. In the future, I’ll definitely make the few Rascals in my family treat you well!”
Zhang Shi,”thank you, second!” Fortunately, second brother went to school. Aiyaya, it’ll be a glorious thing to have scholars in the family in the future!”
Everyone at the table laughed.
Gu Ren felt wronged.
He could have just found a teacher for him. Why did he have to hand him over to his second uncle, who knew his background?
After dinner, Gu shouxin called the children to the study.
Gu Hui was now in the military, but Huo Yanyu was also in the mix, so he treated her equally.
The boys had an extra Gu Ren.
Gu Ren was about to turn three years old, and Gu shouxin planned to start from a baby. what you learned in your time is not good enough. It doesn’t fit the mainstream imperial examination of the great Zhou Dynasty. It’s also important to keep fit. Look at your toot appearance. If you continue to grow, won’t you become a round ball? ”
Gu shouxin assigned tasks to the four girls. Writing was a daily task, including Gu Nian’s.
Apart from reading and practicing martial arts, Gu Nian could do whatever she wanted at any other time.
Huo Yanyu was the same.
Gu Xin and Gu si were different. They had to practice the violin, which they had chosen.
Gu shouxin was still very open-minded. Just like Gu Nian, he always had something he wanted to do, so he would not force it. It was fine if he did not know how to play the zither.
But for Gu Xin and Gu si, the two of them were willing to learn. If they wanted to learn, they had to learn well.
As for Gu en, there was no need to talk about it. A gentleman must learn all six arts.
As for Gu Ren, well, he would have to get up on time every morning first. He also had to slowly learn how to write with a brush.
Gu shouxin passed down the instructions one by one and then asked if they had any questions.
This was what everyone usually did, so there was naturally no problem.
The few of them returned to their respective rooms.
After returning home, Gu Nian handed the account book to Gu Xin for her to settle the accounts.
Gu Xin’s Abacus cracked. In fact, she was also very good at mental arithmetic, but she was used to going through it in her mind once and counting the cards again.
These accounts were mainly from the construction workshop outside the city.
After almost half a year, Gu Nian’s Rouge and face powder workshop had been completed. In fact, it was on a much larger scale than in Qing Province.
She had already recorded all the expenses and now that she was done, she would let Gu Xin settle the accounts.
Next, the workshop was going to ship out in large quantities. Not only did they receive orders from the five neighboring countries, but they also received many orders from the great Zhou Dynasty. They would start to ship out in September.
Other than the cosmetics, Gu Xin still had to do the accounts for the embroidery room. Sun Yumei and Zhang Shi were now in charge of the embroidery room, so they already had quite a number of finished products. Their business had also started to develop.
There was a new product, dolls, which were only on sale in July. A batch of them had been taken away by a rich merchant in Jiangnan before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they were out of stock now.
What Cai Xiaolian meant was for Gu Xin to do the accounts, and then the girls would come up with a solution to prevent such a situation from happening.
