Zhang Jiushou slept very comfortably this night, in the dream she was hugging Tian Cai'er's waist, her hand unconsciously slid down, just when he was in a happy mood, Bai Xue didn't say hello, then pushed open the door and said: "Young master is not good, something is wrong!" ”

Zhang Jiushou opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Bai Xue's ugly face at first glance, somewhat reluctantly, rubbed his sleepiness, the whole person was a lot more sober, lifted the quilt, and complained in his heart that other people's maids were as beautiful as flowers, pleasing to the eye, but his maids were ugly out of the sky, Zhang Jiushou

Energetic, he said, "What's the matter, could it be that bastard who brought someone to kill him?" ”

"It's not Young Master!"

Zhang Jiushou got up and wore short sleeves, which was already very exposed in Bai Xue's opinion, and he couldn't help lowering his head and didn't dare to face it, but he happened to see the excited scene of Xiao Zhang Jiushou again, and suddenly blushed to the root of his ears, and said: "I heard that the Dongcheng Xiangye and them all disappeared overnight." ”

"It's my business that they disappeared, if I can't find the silver, I'm afraid you'll disappear from the earth."

Zhang Jiushou got up and let Bai Xue get dressed, he likes to live a life of being served, but Zhang Jiushou feels that the close-fitting maid Bai Xue is not very good-looking, and the so-called red-sleeved fragrance is far away from him.

Bai Xue saw that Zhang Jiushou didn't notice the embarrassing scene just now, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so she said: "Young master, you always like to talk nonsense, if others listen to it, they will definitely think that you have fallen into evil!" ”

Zhang Jiushou didn't want to explain too much, but now his mind was in a mess, and his intuition told him that the group of ruffians on East Street came to make trouble, and it must have nothing to do with Tian Chai'er.

There is still no one to order the soap in the store, except for the last time when the fat man Yang Kang spent money to sell a piece, the remaining more than 100 pieces in the store are still in place, and even the rats who like to steal lard on weekdays seem to be not interested in soap, which makes Zhang Jiushou's confidence suddenly greatly frustrated.

The three of them watched for a day, and they didn't see any guests.

Until noon, there was only a bare-bottomed child, peeing towards the door, the angry Zhang Jiushou was furious, and it was a lesson to catch it, and the child didn't cry, and he made a grimace and then thought that there was no one, and it was estimated that he ran to another house to pee.

There were no customers in the store, it was deserted, Bai Xue had already finished his work, lying on the table, holding his head in a daze, yawning for a long time, Bai Lan on the side was already sleepy, afraid of the new owner's scolding, so he had to hold back his sleepiness with one hand.

Since having Cheng Ye's support, the ruffians on East Street have never come to make trouble, although the gang disappeared for unknown reasons, but Bai Xue didn't care, now she only has silver in her eyes, and with silver, she can do a lot of things.

During the period, an old man came, but Zhang Jiushou was so happy that he hurriedly woke up Bailan to boil water to make tea, and personally led the guests to introduce and serve, and also raised the bench with great interest to invite people to sit down, who knew that in the end people did not come to soap at all, but to buy books.

Knowing that he no longer sold books, the old man was disappointed for a while, and he no longer had nostalgia and left.

Zhang Jiushou, who was originally full of enthusiasm, was also woken up by a basin of cold water, and business was not good this year.

Zhang Jiushou politely watched the old man leave, and then couldn't control the pain in his heart, and vented: "I can't imagine that I can't even sell a piece of soap for my nine-year compulsory education top students!" ”

Bai Xue thought that Zhang Jiushou was crazy, talking nonsense, and said tentatively: "Young master, people buy books, and people won't buy your things if you book a hundred times." I heard that the talisman water of Grandma Wang of Dongjie can ward off evil spirits, does the young master want to..."

Bai Lan nodded, became interested, and said: "Young master, you can't underestimate Grandma Wang, I saw her exorcise evil spirits for a little child a few days ago, and the child immediately became lively after drinking his divine water, and everyone said that she was so powerful." ”

Zhang Jiushou listened impatiently and said: "You also believe in deceptive things!" I also said that I had seen Sun Dasheng of Dongsheng Shenzhou! ”

Bai Lan thought that Sun Dasheng was a very powerful immortal, and asked curiously on the side: "Young master, who is Sun Dasheng, we don't have it here, I don't know which god in the sky?" ”

Zhang Jiushou said: "That Sun Dasheng has no father and no mother, he jumped out of the stone, and he can turn over 108,000 miles with one heel, and he looks like a monkey, so some people call him hairy face Lei Gongzui..."

Zhang Jiushou's saliva dried up, so he said: "I'll tell you next time, I'm a little thirsty!" ”

Zhang Jiushou was about to leave, but Bai Xue, who had always talked little, asked curiously, and said, "Young master, you haven't told me what happened to him in the Heavenly Palace later, young master, you are thirsty, I will let Bai Lan pour water, how can I trouble you to run." ”

Zhang Jiushou said: "You girl can't change sex, I haven't asked you to be so concerned about it on weekdays!" ”

Bai Lan on the side said: "Miss has read a lot of books before, and the young master can't look down on Miss." ”

As soon as Bai Lan finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, but Zhang Jiushou's eyes lit up on the side, and he laughed: "Great! I'm worried that I can't find someone who can read, why didn't you say it earlier! Literate babies are rare these days! ”

Zhang Jiushou didn't tell a lie, he came to the snow country for half a month, and he met only a handful of literate people.

Bai Xue was smart, and immediately thought of Zhang Jiushou's thoughts, and said, "Young master, don't you want to write a book?" ”

Zhang Jiushou nodded.

Bai Xue shook her head and said, "Young Master, no." There are three bookstores in the county alone, and each book costs one or two taels of silver, and good books, like the books published by Mr. Zhuge a few years ago, cost three taels of silver, and not many people in the county can afford to read them! ”

Zhang Jiushou was puzzled: "How can a book be so expensive?" ”

Bai Xue said: "It takes half a month just to find someone to copy a book, and if the book takes longer, in addition to the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the cost will naturally be expensive." ”

Zhang Jiushou was silent, if he found someone to copy, plus paper, pen and ink, and miscellaneous things, regardless of the cost, there was indeed not much silver to be earned in a book.

Bai Xue saw that Zhang Jiushou was silent, and thought that what she said just now had stimulated Zhang Jiushou again, but she was a little embarrassed.

However, Zhang Jiushou quickly relieved himself and said: "If I control the cost of a book at twenty yuan, how much do you think is appropriate?" ”

Bai Xue felt that his young master was whimsical, and said, "Impossible, paper alone is not enough." ”

Zhang Jiushou said impatiently: "Just tell me, how much silver is appropriate?" ”

Bai Xue saw that Zhang Jiushou was impatient, so he said: "Six hundred yuan, although the poor people can't afford to study, but most of the people in the county have special workers in the countryside to plant fields, and five hundred yuan can still be paid." ”
