Another day.
Outside Chang 'an City.
In Cheng Yaojin's manor.
Today's village was different from the past!
The originally flat back garden had a huge puddle of water today. Li Chufeng had specially gathered people to help dig this after he returned yesterday!
Although he couldn't leave the manor, no one could control him in the manor!
The waterhole didn't take up much space. It was only the size of a swimming pool, but the waterhole was filled with green bamboo. At a glance, the bamboo that filled the pool made people's eyes turn green!
Looking at the bamboo, Cheng Chumo was in a good mood.
"Hahahaha! If you don't let me use Xuan paper, I can just make my own paper! Anyway, the Xuan paper he brought last time could still be used for a while!”
That day, after Cheng Chumo came back, Cheng Yaojin controlled Cheng Chumo's paper usage. Oh, he didn't even control it, he directly cut it off. He wanted another piece of Xuan paper in the future! Impossible!
Cheng Chumo was also forced into a corner by Cheng Yaojin. He could only make paper himself. Fortunately, he had obtained the Paper Making Technique after angering Chai Lingwu. Otherwise, he really had no other choice!
"No! Little Green, you little girl!" Suddenly, Cheng Chumo turned his head and grabbed Xiao Lu's collar, pretending to be fierce and threatening.
"You little girl, if you tell my father that I still have some paper left! I'll make sure you don't have a good life in the future!”
"Oh! Young Master, don't worry! Little Green will never tell us!"
Under the eaves, it had no choice but to lower its head. Little Green blinked its big eyes and nodded its little head repeatedly as it said seriously.
Cheng Chumo still looked at Greenie suspiciously.
"You little traitor, can I trust you?”
"Of course!" Little Green raised its head and replied with a serious expression,"Xiao Lu is Young Master's personal maid! How could she betray the young master? Moreover, a little bit of paper was not worth it for Little Green to tell on him!”
"Come on!" Cheng Chumo curled his lips and let go of his hand. He knew that the little traitor was still a little traitor, but this little traitor was very ambitious. She didn't care about a little paper!
"Hehe, Young Master, are you really going to make your own paper?”Xiao Lu smiled and moved closer to Cheng Chumo. Looking at the bamboo pond, it asked curiously.
"Humph!" Cheng Chumo glanced at her and asked instead of answering her.
"I asked you to find some bamboo that has been soaked in water for a long time. Did you find it?”
"Oh, I found this, but not many, only seven or eight! They've already moved back!"
Little Green replied honestly. Its big eyes were still staring curiously at the bamboo floating on the water in front of it. It tilted its head and thought carefully, how can these bamboo be made into paper!
"That's good!"
Cheng Chumo nodded slightly and relaxed.
The process of making paper was very complicated and required a lot of time. His Xuan paper obviously could not last that long!
He could only find some materials that were almost done. Although the final effect would definitely not be as good as rice paper, it was enough to be used as toilet paper!
....
At this moment, two distinguished guests arrived at the manor!
These two people were naturally Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wugou. The two of them came out to stroll around and see what kind of person Cheng Chumo was.
Under the guidance of the servant, the two of them slowly walked to the back garden.
"Eh, why are there so many bamboos on this pool?”
Li Shi Min looked at the pond of green bamboo, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Eh?"
Hearing the commotion behind him, Cheng Chumo turned his head in confusion. When he saw Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wugou, he was slightly stunned!
These two people exuded a graceful and noble temperament. At a glance, one could tell that these two people had been in the upper echelons for a long time. They were not simple!
"May I know who you are?"
Cheng Chumo cupped his hands and asked politely.
"Oh! You must be Cheng Chumo. We are Cheng Yaojin's friends. We came out for a stroll today and came to the manor. We came in to take a look! Just call me Uncle Li!"
Li Shi Min waved his hand and said casually.
"Yes, Uncle Li!"
Cheng Chumo nodded slightly. He was still very polite. He knew that this was his father's good friend. Did his father have any ordinary friends? Of course not!
Those who could make friends with his father were all high-ranking officials. He had to quickly curry favor with them!
"Hahaha, you're quite polite!”
Li Shiming glanced at Zhangsun Wugou and praised.
"Uncle Li, you flatter me! I heard Uncle Li ask what this bamboo is for. Let me explain it to Uncle Li!”
Cheng Chumo smiled modestly.
"Yes!" Li Shi Min smiled and nodded.
"Nephew is preparing to make paper, but Nephew's father is unwilling to give Nephew Xuan paper! Nephew is devoted to learning, how can I practice calligraphy without Xuan paper! He could only make his own paper! Sigh!"
Cheng Chumo pretended to be depressed and sighed.
"Puff!"
As soon as he said this, Zhangsun Wugou could not help but laugh.
Li Shiming also looked at Cheng Chumo awkwardly. This kid was really good at talking. He was just full of bullsh * t!
"Cough cough, nephew, your father told me about your great achievements a few days ago!”
Li Shi Min coughed and reminded.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Cheng Chumo's face turned red and he coughed awkwardly. He had wanted to build a character that was humble and eager to learn, but he didn't expect his father to ruin it. He was embarrassed!
However, Cheng Chumo didn't mind. Instead, he pretended to be angry and said loudly.
"How despicable! Uncle Li didn't know! Nephew did clean it with Xuan paper! But that was only for the sake of cleanliness! Moreover, with our family, we don't need to leave behind this bit of silver! Isn't that right, Uncle Li?"
"Uh, not bad!" Li Shiming was annoyed. Damn it, how could this kind of profligate son say such words? Just because your family is rich, you can squander as you please?
Li Shiming stole another glance at Zhangsun Wugou. Seeing that there was no disgust in his eyes, he relaxed a little!
Li Shiming still had to satisfy his brother's expectations. He also wanted to help Cheng Chumo enter the palace to study!
"But isn't this squandering? Use good paper to do this!"
At this moment, Zhangsun Wugou also spoke. She came today mainly to see how Cheng Chumo's character was. If his character was good, then it didn't matter. He could enter the palace. Anyway, he wouldn't be able to teach his sons and daughters badly!
"Auntie! How was this squandering? You really don't understand! Sigh!"
Cheng Chumo looked at Zhangsun Wugou with disdain.
Li Shi Min was stunned.
Li Shimin: " I've tried my best. Your son is too arrogant!"
