"I see that you are dressed better than the little master of the landlord's family, and you are usually used to being served, right? I can't even eat dried fruits, my life skills are simply scum, I really don't know how people like you can survive if they are in trouble? Saying that, Bai Ling stuffed the chestnuts directly into Shangguan's mouth, pouted, and said, "My little brother is only five years old, and he knows how to get chestnuts after reading it, you should be fine, right?" ”

Shangguan Jun's face turned red, chewing uncomfortably, and he lowered his head and did not answer.

Bai Lingben didn't wait for Shangguan to speak, so he lit a fire by himself, and then went into the water to fork two fish and roasted fish for Shangguan to eat.

Shangguan, who ate chestnuts for the first time, felt that it was fresh, so he ate a few more, and when Bai Ling finished grilling the fish, he barely ate two, but he was reluctant to move, and he couldn't learn to swim.

"Hey, you chestnuts, bring more next time." Shangguan touched his stomach and said, "I won't practice today, the master needs to be well restrained." ”

"Twenty pounds, how much do you plan to get?" Bai Ling asked.

"As much as you can handle, the master will want." Shangguan replied without thinking.

"Done." Bai Ling nodded and got up, picked up the tools, waved at the official and said, "You don't learn, I have to keep an account of the salary, I'll see you the day after tomorrow." ”

Bai Ling left lightly, humming a little song in his mouth.

Since solving the matter of the old house, the days of the third room have become more and more moist, and Bai Ling is very happy.

Because Bai Ling went to the town every other day, the recipe promised to the old lady of the Qian Mansion had not been fulfilled, and the family would not stop her, she was a great benefactor of the third room.

Therefore, Bai Ling did not need to go to the mountains to pick chestnuts in the afternoon, and went directly to the town.

Looking at Bai Ling's departing back, the squirming expression on Shangguan's face disappeared, and he put one hand on the dantian, carefully feeling the warmth coming from there, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Let's say that Bai Ling went to Qianfu, and after sending some fried chestnuts with sugar, and leaving a recipe, he went to Hongtai Yinlou.

Shopkeeper Shen had already asked the owner to sign the contract at the price Bai Ling said.

Within two years, Bai Ling will provide at least two sets of jewelry drawings every month, and the extra will not be accumulated to the next month, which is the careful thinking of the owner.

However, Bai Ling needs silver, so when he has time, he will draw one, and in less than a month, he has handed over sixteen sets of jewelry drawings.

There is no way, in addition to the money needed at home, the space also needs to be invested, Bai Ling plans to turn the space into a treasure chest.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I also want to ask this time, which of the enlightened academies in our town has a better reputation?" After Bai Ling handed over the drawings and received the money, he asked.

Shopkeeper Shen has always been polite to Bai Ling, and specially prepared a room for her to rest, no matter when Bai Ling came over, there was hot tea and snacks.

Looking at Bai Ling, who had obviously earned more than two hundred taels of silver and was still wearing patched clothes, Shopkeeper Shen thought for a while and said, "The rich sons in the town all invited Xixi to their homes for enlightenment. Those who are a little richer will be sent to private schools to enlighten, and there are two famous private schools in the town, but I don't recommend the white girl to send her brother Ling. ”

"What did Shopkeeper Shen say about this?" Bai Ling asked in some surprise.

"It's not easy to provide students with books these days, and the children in the countryside are generally enlightened in the village school. The bundle in the town is high, and there are a lot of miscellaneous expenses, and it costs twenty or thirty taels of silver a year. And there are those who can study in the town, almost all of them live in the town, and their families also have a little silver, which also forms a style of comparison. ”

Shopkeeper Shen shook his head and said helplessly:

"My kid was also bullied and dropped out of school, and he didn't retreat from private school. Later, my eldest brother recommended me a master, and I heard that he returned to the town for the sake of his father's filial piety, but he was not recommended by an acquaintance, but this gentleman refused to accept it. But the leather monkey in my house said that this gentleman was very knowledgeable, and he had improved a lot in reading and endorsing, and he no longer caused trouble all day long. ”

Bai Ling's heart moved, but he felt that this gentleman was right to listen.

But the other party easily does not accept students, which is a bit difficult.

"If the white girl wants to send Brother Ling to enlightenment, I can recommend it. It's just that studying is not a matter of one or two years, but the white girl is ready to plan? Shopkeeper Shen asked tentatively.

If Bai Ling just let his younger brother learn a few words, Shopkeeper Shen would have to consider whether to help with this.

After all, it is good for children in the countryside to be able to study in the village.

"My brother is only five years old and not in good health, so I want him to recuperate for another six months. Don't be in a hurry about this matter first, and then bother the shopkeeper Shen. Bai Ling smiled lightly, not revealing his plan for a moment.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Shen didn't say anything anymore, so as not to be embarrassed.

After the two chatted for a few words, Bai Ling said with a smile: "I came this time to ask Shopkeeper Shen to prepare some more rice paper." The quality of the study sold in the town is not good, and when you draw with charcoal, it will always be scratched. ”

It's not that Bai Ling is stingy, but the town's study, which is dominated by the low-end route.

Even if there is good rice paper, someone has to be able to get it, otherwise Bai Ling will not open this mouth.

"The white girl doesn't say it, but I forgot about it. The proprietor knew that the white girl had requirements for paper, so he asked people to bring high-grade familiar xuan from Fucheng, which was the most suitable for painting. Shopkeeper Shen patted his head, got up and came to the bookcase prepared for Bai Ling, and opened the box on the ground, "It's a box, Miss Bai just needs to use it first, the owner said that a box is prepared for the girl every season, but is it enough?" ”

"Enough." The corners of Bai Ling's mouth twitched.

Even if you make a mistake in drawing, you won't use so much paper.

Unless Bai Ling has a private collection, or at least one drawing is handed in every day.

"The white girl will rest first, and at the end of the month, I'll go and settle the account first." Shopkeeper Shen didn't miss Bai Ling's expression, and he couldn't help but smile and didn't say that he saw this box of familiar announcements, and when he heard the owner's words again, he also had this expression, "Bai Girl eats here at noon, I'll let the guy go to the restaurant to order two dishes, what kind of dishes does Bai Girl like to eat?" ”

"Shopkeeper Shen is polite, didn't I bring a fish here? At noon, I cook, make a fish and eat two, and if there is any dish in the kitchen, I will fry it again. Bai Ling refused the kindness of the shopkeeper Shen, got up and sent the shopkeeper Shen to the door, "While there is still time, I will see if I can draw another set of drawings." The family is poor, and there are many places to use silver, so the shopkeeper Shen should not laugh. ”

"No laughter, no laughter." Shopkeeper Shen waved his hand again and again, wishing that Bai Ling would draw a few more sets of drawings, rubbing his palms and saying: "If the white girl has time, she can draw a set of heads suitable for your lady to wear, and the price will be different." It is best to decorate with pearls and gemstones. ”

"Not anymore, the drawings of the girl series are easier to draw. The noble ladies are not only fresh, but also atmospheric and luxurious, and I have to think about it before I start writing. Bai Ling explained with a smile.

In fact, Bai Ling has a lot of ready-made works in her mind, whether it is drawing on ancient and modern patterns, or she once conceived in her mind, even if she paints one every day, it can provide Hongtai Yinlou for a lifetime.
