Zeng Shuzhi and Li Cai continued to read books for free today, and the dripping water outside turned into ice, and this bookstore was much warmer than their own home.

A clerk took a knife of paper and stepped forward to ask, "Is it Li Ping and Li Xiucai from Huoyang Village?" "In fact, they often go in and out of the books to register, and the clerks know them well.

Li Cai nodded.

The clerk put a knife of paper in his hand on the table and said respectfully, "This is a gift from our shopkeeper." Our shopkeeper heard that you helped Aunt Li from Huoyang Village write a manuscript of pickled radish for free, which is to thank you for your benevolence. ”

Li Cai was stunned! The shopkeeper of Gewu Bookstore is so generous? He turned his gaze to this knife paper, he often bought pen and ink, and naturally recognized it as the paper he often bought. The paper wasn't too good, it wasn't too bad, but it was still a free gift......

Li is a flexible person, and he stood up at the moment: "I want to thank the shopkeeper, can the little brother lead the way?" ”

The clerk nodded, as if he had expected him to say this, and naturally led the way: "Please come with me." ”

Li Cai followed the clerk to the guest room of Zhizhiyuan, and found that there was an eldest lady sitting inside, dressed in an ordinary green coat, with just a wooden hairpin on her head, and she smiled when she saw him look up.

This is the shopkeeper of Gewu Bookstore? The legendary old lady of the Hou Mansion who was stripped of her title?

Li Cai's heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Little Li Cai, meet the old lady." ”

Lu Yingfang hurriedly got up: "Li Xiucai doesn't need to be polite, the old body is just an ordinary woman, and she can't afford your salute." Sit down and talk! ”

Li Cai didn't dare to think that she was an ordinary lady, the other party was coarse and linen, and there were no gold, silver and jade ornaments on her body, but her bearing was there! Besides, most of the back room is a book donated by Xiao Changshan and Master Tao!

Li Cai didn't dare to sit down, and still said, "Thank you for the old lady's gift of paper." ”

Lu Yingfang and Li Cai chatted for a few words, and then they learned that Li Cai was from Huoyang Village, and considering the convenience of coming to Fucheng to study, he came to Pingyang Mansion to rent a house. Because Huoyang Village is relatively close, it is close to the end of the year, and the private school is closed. He knew half a month ago that he was going to solicit papers, so he made a special trip back to the village. After thinking about it, he finally locked his eyes on the pickled radish of Aunt Li's house, he was taken care of by Aunt Li a lot when he was a child, and it could be regarded as helping her family to make one more entry, and he could also have the opportunity to show his face. Anyway, he wrote the manuscript!

He often helped the villagers write letters and collect some pen money. This time, he didn't accept Aunt Li's copper plate, and he didn't expect Aunt Li to tell the shopkeeper that she would help write the manuscript for free.

What Lu Yingfang meant was that she would provide paper and pen and ink, hoping that he would help someone write the manuscript for free. If the manuscript can be requisitioned, he will be given twenty copper plates for one manuscript.

It's not a lot, but it's not a little bit either. He only got a few copper plates for writing a letter, and he only earned two or three copper plates after removing pen and ink.

Lu Yingfang: "You can think about it, after all, it will take you a lot of time." Or you can ask other classmates to help out. Especially those who have stopped thinking about the imperial examination can be used as a writer in the bookstore. ”

Li Cai's eyes were wide, if it was the township exam after the year, he would still not be able to pass the exam, and maybe he could get a position in the bookstore. It's much better than going to be a private school teacher. There is an opportunity to contact nobles here, just look at the posture of the Lan family, and his future in the future is not small.

Li Cai nodded naturally, and was even willing to help recommend his classmates.

Lu Yingfang looked at his back as he walked away, and this time she breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't thought of it before. They don't have enough people, and it's not practical to send people to the countryside. It is better to find local scholars to do this, only to expand the popularity of the monthly magazine, any recipe will not cause covetousness.

and Yuanzhou Minhe Yaotang, Guan Dasheng took the thick letter in his hand and was stunned!

Why did his father send him such a thick letter? What happened? He froze with the letter with a pale face.

It was the young man from the post station who delivered the letter, he looked at Guan Dasheng's appearance, and laughed: "Dasheng, don't be afraid, it was your father who sent you good things." ”

Guan Dasheng opened it and saw that his father's letter was only a few words. Let him learn the method of saving people in the "Gewu Monthly", and then give the "Monthly" to the owner of the pharmacy. The letter repeatedly emphasized that the original price of this monthly magazine was 20 yuan, but because it was difficult to buy, it cost 30 yuan to buy it again. If the proprietor needs it in the future, he will state the matter.

Guan Dasheng lit a candle and went to the firewood room to finish reading the monthly magazine.

"Who?" The old man of the porter got up at night and found that there was fire shining through the crack of the door of the firewood room, so he pushed open the firewood door and asked.

Dasheng was remembering those ways to save people, and he was taken aback.

"Dasheng, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" The old man asked.

"Uncle Liu, I'll go to sleep." Dasheng is very energetic at the moment, but he also knows that it is late at night and he has to go back quickly.

He cautiously returned to his room, and the two fellows in the same bunk had already fallen asleep. He pressed the monthly magazine under his pillow, and remembered in his heart the method of saving people that he had just recited.

Early the next morning, Guan Dasheng was woken up by the guy next to him. He hurriedly touched the pillow, felt the thick paper, and immediately reassured.

He took advantage of the fact that the two people next to him were not paying attention, put on a thick jacket, put the monthly magazine on his chest, and then hurried out.

The end of the year is approaching, and the owner often comes to inspect the store, and as soon as he steps into the pharmacy, Guan Dasheng follows him.

"Dongjia, this is what my father brought from Pingyang Mansion." It was the first time that Guan Dasheng took the initiative to find the owner.

The reason why he was able to come here as a buddy and learn something was mainly because his father had curried favor with a noble man when he was working at the inn. So he was placed under the nobleman's property as an apprentice.

Fortunately, he is literate and diligent enough, and the doctors also take him with him at will when they go to the clinic and let him follow with the medicine box.

The proprietor is a middle-aged man in his forties, he took the thick monthly magazine, opened it quickly, and the content of the third edition directly made his eyes take away.

After coming over for a while, the proprietor sat down at the table, opened all the monthly magazines, and asked in a deep voice, "This is from Pingyang Mansion?" ”

Guan Dasheng replied nervously: "This was made by a bookstore in Pingyang Mansion. My dad said, if you think it's good, he will try to help buy it in the future. This is often out of stock, so it can sometimes be difficult to buy. ”

The owner knew that Guan Dasheng's father was a pawn at the post station, and Guan Dasheng was very honest, but his father was a little insightful. I had heard from nobles that the Gewu Bookstore in Pingyang Mansion gave students free books. Now that this formation has been made, it seems that the Lan family is going to earn a good reputation.

"Okay, you send a letter to your father, and as long as you have this monthly magazine in the future, you can buy ten copies...... No, buy thirty copies...... Your father is at the post station, and it is more convenient than ordinary people to deliver letters. The owner looked at Guan Dasheng with blazing eyes.

Guan Dasheng said what his father explained, this monthly magazine is easy to go out of stock, it is difficult to buy so much, and it is expensive to buy it.

The proprietor pondered for a moment: "In this way, let your father buy it first, whether it is one or several, send it first." All fees are billed by the pharmacy. If you can buy it later, you can send it back. ”

Guan Dasheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The next sentence of the owner made Guan Dasheng overjoyed: "From today on, you follow Dr. Cui, be his disciple, and follow him to study medicine in the future." ”

Guan Dasheng immediately knelt down: "Thank you to the owner, the owner is very kind, the small one must repay the owner." ”

He came to the medicine hall to do chores, just to learn some skills and return to the hometown to be a barefoot doctor in the future. Now that he can be apprenticed with Dr. Cui, the most famous doctor in the medicine hall, his future is guaranteed.

What Guan Dasheng didn't know was that the monthly magazine he gave to the owner was quickly handed to the backyard of Shi Zhifu.

When Shi Zhifu walked into the bedroom, he found that his wife was reading a monthly magazine.

"How could Madame have this?" Shi Zhifu also happened to have the monthly magazine in his hand, and he received this thick letter from the post station this morning, which turned out to be sent by the Lan family.

He also wondered that the intersection between him and the Lan family was nothing more than disposing of Feng Da and the others. Does the Lan family have a lot to say to him?

When I opened it, it turned out to be a monthly magazine. After he and his master saw it, they decided to promote some methods.

"Husband, do you also have a monthly magazine?" Mrs. Shi poured him tea with a smile, "I brought this from the medicine hall." ”

"I sent this from the Lan family to the post station. Who sent this to you, Madame? Shi Zhifu was a little puzzled.

"Do you remember the year before last when we went to Pingyang Mansion to attend the county lord's ceremony? While we were resting at the inn, a pawn helped me find my lost earrings. Mrs. Shi said slowly.

Of course Shi Zhifu remembered, he nodded.

Mrs. Shi said: "I wanted to give him the silver at that time, but he didn't accept it. I saw that his son was quite honest, so I said let my son be a buddy in Minhe Pharmacy! As for how much he can learn, it depends on his creation. ”

Shi Zhifu: "Could it be that it was sent by the pawn of the post station?" ”

Mrs. Shi nodded: "Since that little pawn has a heart, I will not treat his son badly." ”

Shi Zhifu was overjoyed: "Madame is really capable." ”

Mrs. Shi covered her mouth and smiled: "What kind of ability is this?" If you look at the color magazine, that's the real skill! That old lady Lan is also amazing, who doesn't say that the Lan family is good this time! ”

Yes, who would dare to touch the Lan family this time!

"You say, how about I go and submit it too?" Mrs. Shi pointed to the color magazine.

Shi Zhifu asked, "What is Madame going to vote for?" ”

"Hey, I'm not bothered, I'm going to discuss it with Ling'er and let her use a pen name to contribute, and it will be better for her to kiss her in the future." Mrs. Shi's abacus was full, "Don't you have a friendship with Old Madam Lan?" When you sent the letter, it was mixed with Ling'er's manuscript, and she didn't dare not publish it. ”

When Shi Zhifu heard the end, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Madam, you think too highly of me." The Lan family is willing to give face, and there is no way if you don't give it! If all the noble ladies ask for this, then what else will the Lan family do? ”

Mrs. Shi threw away the monthly magazine: "I don't care, Ling'er's manuscript must be published." She'll be thirteen next year, and she's getting ready to see each other! ”

Shi Zhifu couldn't resist her, so he said: "You might as well have someone paste this version in the pharmacy and let all the doctors and guys learn it." ”

Mrs. Shi glimpsed at a glance that it was those life-saving methods: "I don't know if these don't work!" ”

Woman's view!

Shi Zhifu said patiently: "I have just asked the yamen about the work, this method is feasible. Since the Lan family dares to log out, there will be no mistakes, but the doctors in our store should not learn wrong, it will be bad if they get the wrong method! Especially the mother-in-law in the hospital learned this drowning first aid formula, wouldn't the children at home be safer? Those civilians can also learn. So, you can have someone teach the healing method in the medicine hall, and these monthly magazines will come in soon anyway. ”

Minhe Pharmacy taught people for free first, taking the lead!

Mrs. Shi's eyes lit up: "Husband, this method is good!" ”
