Because he invited Chai Xiucai to be a gentleman, but there were no books at home, Su Yu felt very painful when he thought of the price of buying books, but if he wanted to read and write, he had to spend some money. Unfortunately, the bookstore closed early, and she had nowhere to buy it.

Chai Xiu only knew about this, so he said: "You only need to buy some pen and ink, as well as rice paper, I can buy the four books and five classics that I have memorized before and write them down, and I also remember the Analects, the History Book, and Confucius and Mencius, and I will write them down one by one, and then teach your two younger brothers." In this way, he also took advantage of the previous knowledge and deepened his previous knowledge.

I have pen and ink, but there is little paper, but it is enough to write a few books. Su Yu looked at Chai Xiucai with admiration: "Mr. is really amazing, he actually remembers, it's better like this, when the New Year comes, those bookstores open, I'll go buy a few more knives of rice paper, if Mr. can silently write out all the books he wrote down before, then Mr. will go to Beijing to entangle me, how about it?" ”

Chai Xiucai was overjoyed and said, "Fifty taels? He asked tentatively.

Su Yu gritted his teeth: "Thirty taels, it can't be more, Mr. also knows that I am a small business, even if I earn it for two months, I may not be able to earn so much money." "Actually, Su Yu's snack is extremely profitable, except for the first day because of the noon opening less earned, the following days can earn a net of five taels every day, this is still in addition to the vegetable money and workers' money.

In this way, you can net about 150 taels a month, and this is just the beginning.

Chai Xiucai calculated in his heart, thirty taels, it must be enough to go to the capital from here, and there is still some money left, but the prices in Beijing are extremely high, and the housing is also expensive, what can I do.

Chai Xiucai said to Su Yu in a consultative tone: "Brother Su, do you think this is a success, thirty taels is considered entangled, and the matter is done, lend me another twenty taels, if I win the lift, I will pay you back." ”

Su Yu naturally didn't respond, she thought about it for a while, and said: "In this way, you teach first, if they learn well, let's talk about this, anyway, it's still early, you let me think about it." ”

Chai Xiucai nodded, and he was relieved in his heart, Brother Su did not refuse, which means that there is still hope.

Time flies very quickly, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in a flash, this night is extremely lively, fireworks are also set off in the county, the sound of firecrackers continues, the outside is extremely lively, Su Yu and Xiaobao only watched in the courtyard, she did not allow the child to go out. Chinese New Year's Eve is lively, but there are many people outside, it is also chaotic, children are often lost, Xiaobao is still small, Gao Ping's leg is injured again, it is not interesting to go out for a walk, besides, the elders and relatives at home are not around, how sad is it.

Su Yu made a table of dishes, and called the two cooks and Chai Xiucai together, there are so many people, there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish on the table, Su Yu also cooked dumplings, Xiaobao loves to eat this.

Wu Zhi was also quite emotional, and couldn't help but think of his father who was far away in the state capital, and his desire to go to the state capital came out again.

This meal on Chinese New Year's Eve made everyone a lot closer, and afterwards, the two cooks estimated that they were more conscientious, and even Chai Xiucai was a little more serious when teaching Xiaobao and the two.

Su Yu also wanted to follow along, but she didn't have time, but at night, she would also practice calligraphy by herself, and now that she has a steady income, she doesn't care about the small money that buys paper.

The book has to be counted separately, a book is several taels, and there are dozens of taels, now Chai Xiu can come out silently, why should she spend money to buy it.

The breakfast of snacks was still made, although it was tiring, but the money I earned every day was one or two more, and I earned thirty taels more every day, for this money, it was worth being tired.

Because there are few vegetables in winter, Su Yu also made bean sprouts and tofu by himself, because he had to sell tofu in the morning, so he made a lot of tofu.

A month passed like this, Su Yu not only paid off the money borrowed from Wu Zhi, but also saved dozens of taels, Master Xu and Chai Xiucai's wages she gave generously, as well as Wu Zhi, she felt that Wu Zhi helped her a lot, she gave Wu Zhi thirty percent of the snack food, at the end of the first month, Su Yu quietly gave the sixty taels to Wu Zhi, plus the total fifty taels before, a total of one hundred and ten taels, Wu Zhi was shocked when he saw that Su Yu gave him so much silver.

At first, he refused to accept it, saying, "You didn't borrow so much silver, why did you give me so much at once?" ”

Su Yu said with a sincere face: "Brother Wu has helped the three of us brothers a lot here, and besides, Brother Wu has also done his best in this snack bar, you are half a boss, I naturally have to give you thirty percent of the shares, Brother Wu, don't be too little, alas, I still have two brothers to raise now." ”

Wu Zhizhi shook his head: "I know, my family has a small surplus, and I don't need you to do this." ”

Su Yu said stubbornly: "If you postpone it, then you don't treat us as brothers, and the matter is settled." ”

Wu Zhi looked at Su Yu with some worry: "However, I'm going to the state capital." ”

Su Yu asked in a deep voice, "When are you going?" ”

Wu knew: "Five days later." ”

Su Yu calculated the time, it is now the beginning of February (according to the lunar calendar in the future), spring will be in March, Gao Ping's leg injury is almost better, and in March, she will take her two younger brothers back to Anding County, she will definitely not go to the county, she will go directly to Zhangjia Village to find grandma and them.

Su Yu asked him, "Are you still coming back?" ”

Wu Zhi said with great certainty: "Naturally, I want to come back, I still want to tell the story here, anyway, I just went over to take a look." "Storytelling is his errand now, and now that this store has his share, how can he leave.

Su Yu nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Wu, you can stay in the state capital for a little longer, and come back before March, after March, I want to take my two younger brothers back to Anding County." ”

When Wu Zhi heard this, he hesitated: "Can Anding County go now?" The guys in our store can say, it's a mess. ”

Su Yu said: "I don't go to the county, I will go around and go directly to Zhangjia Village, anyway, there will be no one living there, and I will find my mother."

People, when I find my mother, I will take them over, I also have a small shop here, I must not worry about food and clothing. ”

Wu Zhiran said: "That's true. He wanted to say that if Su Yu was in a hurry, he could go now, but at the same time, he thought that it was still cold, the snow was falling from time to time, and the lake was frozen, which was not a good time to travel.

He heard that there was a caravan going there, so he moved a piece of thought, and he recognized the people of the caraver, so he didn't have to worry about accidents.

He just didn't want to tell the story, everyone listened to his story, crying and laughing, quite emotional, he was very happy.

When Su Yu saw Wu Zhi's expression, he knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Brother Wu, you have told a lot of stories this month, if you go to the state capital, why don't you find someone who can write at home, let him write down the story, print the book, write your name on the cover, and sell it in the bookstore when the time comes, if it is famous, it is also a good thing." ”

Wu Zhixin was very moved, he had already planned this.

Su Yu said again: "There are many people in the state capital, there are many students, and there are more bookstores and bookstores than here, if you have a way, you can take it farther, so that the area in the south of the Yangtze River in Beijing can also get your books, of course, our place, as well as the neighboring counties, will definitely be able to put it on it." ”

She knew that this was Wu Zhi's hobby, not making money, so she said this.

Wu Zhimei smiled: "Do you think this is really okay?" ”

Su Yu nodded fiercely: "Of course, this life is alive, and the picture is just a happy one, if you really want to do it, you can also open your own printing workshop and specialize in printing books." She just mentioned the latter sentence, but Wu Zhi remembered it in her heart.

After a while, Wu Zhicai glanced at Su Yu carefully: "Then, can I print the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" ”

Su Yu thought for a while and asked, "Did you tell our shopkeeper about the copyright of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I remember that Journey to the West and the Legend of the West Chamber were sold." ”

Wu Zhi snorted: "Didn't he give the silver?" ”

Su Yu pointed to the snack: "But he gave us this shop." ”

Wu Zhi hung his head and said: "It seems to have been said, alas, forget it, the Three Kingdoms will put it aside for the time being." ”

Su Yu smiled: "Isn't your story the best-looking, have you thought of a good name?" For example, some layman and the like, it sounds weird. ”

Wu Zhi pondered: "Let me think about it. ”

After five days, Wu Zhi really followed the caravan to the state capital, he stayed in the state capital for nearly two months, he grinded his father to set up a printing bookstore, and also his own private room of more than 100 taels out, printed hundreds of self-written books, and, after leaving the relationship to put the book in the state capital's bookstore, when he came back, only more than ten copies, which were ready to be given to his own people, he thought, the people of Liuyang County listened to him tell the story, this book is not easy to sell.

When Wu Zhi came back, he asked his little servants to keep an eye on the books on sale, and asked them to come to write a letter every two or two, mainly to tell him about the sales of the book.

To Wu Zhi's surprise, his words had only been placed for ten days, and they were sold out!

Later, his father waved his hand and hurriedly asked the printing workshop to speed up printing, this printing is hundreds of copies, Wu Zhile is so bad that he wanted to go to the state capital again, but unfortunately, Su Yu took his two younger brothers and Master Xu Jin to Anding County.

It's the end of March now, Su Yu is very anxious, as soon as she saw Wu Zhi coming back, she took someone back to her hometown, if it weren't for the fear that no one in the store would take care of her, she would have gone back a long time ago.

Besides, those Chai Xiucai, went to Beijing in mid-February, Su Yu saw that he taught him wholeheartedly, and he did not break his promise, not only gave fifty taels, but also borrowed twenty taels from him, counting up, there were seventy taels, and clothes, not only gave him all the previous ones, but also gave him two more bodies, Chai Xiucai was so moved.

said that it was borrowed, but in fact, Su Yu only thought it was for him, Chai Xiucai did have the ability, he silently wrote down all the books he had read before, and also made annotations, roughly calculated, there are almost a hundred books, if it weren't for the lack of time, I'm afraid there would be more. Before, Su Yu said that he would let Chai Xiucai tell stories to pay for food, but later when he saw that Chai Xiucai was so powerful, he exempted this matter, directly managed food and housing, and moved Chai Xiucai to Su Yu's house to live, so that he could teach.

When Chai Xiucai left, Xiaobaodu Gaoping was very reluctant, Su Yu wanted to say that if Chai Xiucai failed the exam, just come back to them, and he would definitely ask Chai Xiucai to be a teacher again, for the candidates, this is not a good word, Su Yu swallowed it.

After Chai Xiucai left, Xiaobao and Gao Ping still endorsed every day, Gao Ping's legs were good, he came out in the morning to walk a few laps, Xiaobao practiced martial arts, and in the past three months, Xiaobao has become a lot stronger, and he has made so many moves, all of which are the credit of Master Xu.

Su Yu and his entourage drove the carriage and walked for more than 20 days before arriving at Zhangjia Village.

Zhangjiacun didn't do anything, after Su Yu entered the village, she was relieved, but when the carriage stopped in front of Uncle Zhang's house, her breath came up again.

The Zhang family's house was smashed to pieces!

Su Yu's face changed, and he said to Master Xu, who was driving the car: "Keep walking, don't stop, go to the old tree in front." When Master Xu heard this, he drove the carriage forward.

When the carriage stopped under the old tree, Su Yu said to Xiaobao and them: "You stay here, I'll go and inquire and see what happened to the Zhang family." ”

Master Xu turned his head and said to him: "Why don't you stay in the car, I'll inquire, my face is raw, they don't recognize it." ”

Su Yu shook his head: "No, it's the same if I go." "She is wearing men's clothes now, and the clothes are much better than before, and people in Zhangjiacun may not be able to recognize her.

Su Yu jumped out of the car and saw an old well not far away, where several daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law were doing laundry, and Su Yu walked over.

She looked at Zhangjia Village as she walked, she hadn't seen her for a few months, and the population of Zhangjia Village had almost half of it, I don't know if it was because of the plague or because of the bandits?

A little daughter-in-law with a face came to her with a laundry tub, Su Yu stood in front of the little daughter-in-law, bowed her hand, and said, "This little sister-in-law, please stay." ”

The little daughter-in-law saw that it was a handsome little Langjun, her face was slightly red, and she said, "What's the matter?" If it weren't for Su Yu's young age, I'm afraid she wouldn't have answered.

Su Yu pointed to the smashed house of the Zhang family and asked, "Dare to ask my sister-in-law, where did the family go?" ”
