Chapter 4 There is no shortage of small jobs

Early the next morning, Su Liuyu got up early, Lin Xiuyun and her three sisters had already gone to the ground, leaving a corn nest on the kang.

Su Liuyu swallowed the water, the nest was hard, the brown rice choked and the throat was hoarse and painful, and Su Liuyu couldn't bear it when she thought of having to eat like this in the future.

Be sure to make money early and get to town today!

The big belly is the biggest.

Making up her mind, Su Liuyu walked the mountain road for half an hour from memory to the nearest town.

Although it is a town, it is richer than Wang Tao Village, and the pedestrians selling on the street and the towering restaurants let Su Liuyu travel over and experience the ancient customs for the first time.

In the Su family, books are precious things, Su Youyu finished learning, and Su Liuyu couldn't touch the book, once the original body accidentally soiled a corner, and was beaten to death by Liu Huiniang, and since then, the original body hates going to school and would rather skip school.

So Su Liuyu's first stop was to go to the place where the book was sold.

Changbai Study is located in the center of the town, the store is classical and elegant, as soon as you enter the door, the faint Zen fragrance is fragrant, which makes people relax instantly.

Although the study is not large, there are many guests, all ages.

As soon as Su Liuyu entered the door, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy greeted him and greeted him warmly:

"What does this little brother buy, let's just take a look, we can borrow the books from Changbai Study, as long as you don't take them out."

Isn't this just like a modern bookstore, no wonder there are so many people.

Su Liuyu was not dressed well, dressed in cloth clothes, with patches on her body, she couldn't tell that she had money to buy books, but the little brother who received her did not have any disdainful attitude, but was full of kindness, which made Su Liuyu's impression of this store a little better.

"Do you have pen and ink here? Cheaper. ”

"Yes, look at this one, although this wolf pen is the cheapest of ours, the quality is not bad at all, it is economical and affordable, and it is not a problem to use it for a year and a half."

Su Liuyu nodded and said, "Can you try this one?" ”

"No problem, little brother wait, I'll go get the paper."

Su Liuyu studied high mathematics, but when she was a child, her parents enrolled her in a calligraphy class, and although calligraphy cannot be said to be the most proficient, it is not a ghost painting.

The ink smudged on the paper, and a few big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing smeared on the paper.

'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. ’

Su Liuyu shook her head with a wry smile, now that the poor jingle sounds, this poem can be regarded as the right time.

"How much is this? How is paper sold? ”

"The pen is twenty dollars a piece, but this paper is more expensive, and it costs one or two silver and a knife."

"So expensive!"

Just after taking a turn in the market, Su Liuyu probably knows the price of goods in this world.

A pancake costs a penny, ten cents a pound of rice, and one tael is equal to a thousand wen, which is enough for a family to live for several months.

No wonder Su Mingyuan was admitted to Xiucai, but his family life has always been poor, and the cost of reading and writing turned out to be so large.

Su Liuyu sighed and handed the pen to the little brother.

"It's still too expensive for me."

After listening to this, the little brother did not reach out to take the pen, and said with a smile:

"Boy, although I can't read, but I also know that this ink treasure is excellent, we have a rule in the Changbai study, if the good words and sentences are appreciated by Mr., you can frame and hang with the study for three days, for people to read, this ink treasure I see excellent, if the little brother's good sentences into the eyes of Mr., the pen and ink in the study for the little brother to choose."

And such a good thing?

Su Liuyu was a little more curious about the owner of the study.

"Then this one, thank you guy."

"Well, please wait here for a moment."

The half-dry ink was picked up by the little brother and quickly walked into the inner room, for a long time, Su Liuyu didn't see anyone come out, thinking that if he didn't go back, he probably wouldn't be able to return to the village before dark.

Just as he was about to leave, the little brother walked out quickly.

"Little brother, our husband said, let's go inside."

Su Liuyu followed the footsteps of the little brother and came to the inner room of the Changbai study.

As soon as he entered the house, Su Liuyu smelled a light fragrance of tea, and the person holding the tea knelt on the low table, his face was very handsome.

He was about in his early twenties, wearing a white brocade robe, simple and atmospheric.

She saw him raise his eyes in the afterglow of the sun, the twilight falling on his warm eyes, and nodded at her with a light smile and a hint of dignity and detachment.

"This is my shopkeeper, known as Mr. Huaizhou, Mr. said that the word is a good word, but this poem is not much like the little brother wrote, dare to ask which of the great powers of this poem, Mr. wants to make friends, bother the little brother to recommend, Changbai study contents, for the little brother to choose, talk about gratitude."

Su Liuyu knew roughly in her heart that the Mengxue in her original memory was a reading similar to a thousand-character text, not the three-character scripture or the hundred family names she was familiar with, this poem came from Mencius, there is no Confucianism here, no Confucius and Mencius, no poets and poets.

But Su Liuyu didn't say unashamedly that this poem was her own, if she wasn't so young and had been in school for a few years, she could be shameless, but this original body was only ten years old, and she didn't finish her studies, and Mr. Ren was not a fool.

"I forgot what I overheard."

Shen Huaizhou nodded, looking at Su Liuyu's gaze with some approval: "Then I'll test you, do you know what this sentence means?" ”

This sentence means that when you have no will, you must take care of your own moral cultivation, and when you have a will, you must strive to benefit the people.

"Have you read a book?"

"I skimmed it, my father is a Xiucai, and my brother reads better than me."

"At your young age, it's rare to be able to understand the meaning."

Shen Huaizhou actually felt a little sorry in his heart that he couldn't make friends with this powerful person, but he actually called someone over, so it was reasonable, and there was no reason for people to go back empty-handed.

He pointed to the wooden cabinet on the left, and asked the little brother to take out a rosewood box, and inside the box was a finely carved wolf pen.

"This is what I used when I was younger, so please take it if you don't mind."

"This is a little bit of the heart of my husband."

The wooden box was handed forward.

Su Liuyu waved his hand and pushed the wooden box forward: "No merit, I can't ask for this thing." ”

"However, if Mr. lacks a miscellaneous or accounting, you can consider me, I have a lot of time, I am literate, I don't need to use labor, just convert it into pen and ink."

"You little brother, I was kind enough to help you introduce, but you want to rob me of my work." The little brother was not happy at first.

"Shi'an, don't be rude." Shen Huaizhou got up, walked to Su Liuyu, and personally handed over the brocade box.

"There is no shortage of small workers in my Changbai study for the time being, as for settling accounts, it is not that I am not short of people, but that the number of shops under my name is large and complicated, I am afraid that it is ......"

"Sir, may you let me try, give me a chance." Su Liuyu said sincerely: "Mr. must blame me for not knowing how to lift, but if Mr. is really short of people, I can guarantee that my accounts are good." ”

For the first time, Shen Huaizhou looked at the person in front of him seriously.

The coarse cloth garment, with patches, was clean, but it was also very deplorable.

Thin and small, his eyes are clear and sincere, and he can't bear to refuse.

"Then I'll test you, and if the answers are all correct, I'll give you a chance."

Su Liuyu arched his hand: "Please ask Mr. to ask the question." ”
