"By the way, Brother Fan, this is 800 Wen for selling that wild boar, you take it." After speaking, Mu Yan put his little hand into his sleeve, but in fact, he put his hand into the space, intending to give the 800 Wen to Fan Jing.

"No need, didn't you say okay, just take care of my food."

Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and he was no longer hypocritical, his feelings Fan Jing used his home as a canteen, but at present, he can still afford it. Hehe, everyone else is a child daughter-in-law, why did they change it when they got here.

As they spoke, the two passed by a tailor's shop.

"Brother Fan, I want to sell some fabrics or quilts to go back."

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look."

The two walked into the tailor's shop called Fairfair.

"Hey, what a handsome son, what a beautiful girl, I don't know what the two of you plan to sell?" A woman in her 30s greeted the two.

"Shopkeeper, I want to sell some fabrics and quilts. Don't know how much it costs? Mu Yan asked.

"A thin quilt is 200 wen a bed, but I just made a big red quilt today, give you a discount, and give you 180 wen, how about it?"

Big red quilt? "Shopkeeper, you misunderstood, I just want the ordinary, don't be red." Big red, that's what people who do happy things will buy, this shopkeeper must have misunderstood, but this Fan Jing still has an indifferent face and doesn't explain.

"Don't be red?" The shopkeeper was surprised and asked again.

"Yes, not red, just plain navy blue or pink."

"Okay, girl Wang, hurry up and take out those few thin quilts for single people that have just been made." The shopkeeper shouted inside.

"Okay, here we go."

After a while, a little girl came over with a few quilts.

"Girl, look, are these quilts in the picture?"

Mu Yan picked a dark blue, a blue-black, and a pale pink, and said, "These three beds." ”

Wang Yatou immediately reported the three quilts.

"Girl, it's really refreshing, when others come to pick out quilts, they are all carefully selected, and they strive to pick a thicker one, you are good, and you specially picked three thinner quilts."

"I don't know the shopkeeper, can you give me more discounts?"

"You girl, interesting, okay, then I'll give you a piece of fabric for free." After speaking, the shopkeeper took out a small piece of blue fabric and handed it to Mu Yan.

This piece of blue cloth can make a dress for his younger brother Xiaonan. It's broken, and I can't make clothes, "I don't know if the shopkeeper can make clothes here?" Mu Yan asked with a little affirmation.

"Yes, but you'll have to provide a size."

Mu Yan was stunned, she really didn't know the size of her brother and younger brother.

The shopkeeper saw Mu Yan's reaction and continued: "You are from the countryside, women in the countryside can basically make clothes, you give some handiwork money, and it is the same to ask them to do it." ”

That's right, Aunt Wang next door will make clothes, and when you go back, you can find Aunt Wang.

Mu Yan bought two more pieces of fabric and walked out of the tailor shop, and when he left, the shopkeeper smiled and said to Mu Yan: "What will the girl buy in the future, just come to me to find my Aunt Liu." ”

Mu Yan turned around and responded: "Definitely." After just a few minutes of getting along, Mu Yan felt that the shopkeeper was very easy to get along with, and he also planned to have a long-term relationship.

……

Mu Yan carried the basket on his back and Fan Jing and continued to walk forward.

"Hey, it's a bookstore."

"Do you know words?"

"I don't know, I've been a country girl somewhere, but I have to buy some paper and go back for my brother to learn to practice calligraphy." Mu Yan immediately shook his head in denial, and replied.

Mu Yan and Fan Jing walked into the bookstore, and the guy sat at the counter without raising his head, so he said, "If you want to buy anything, you can pick it out here and pay the bill." ”

Mu Yan walked to the rows of bookshelves, took out a book casually, and flipped through the pages.

Fan Jing saw Mu Yan's expression, this girl must know words, and her smart eyes are not unrecognizable.

At this moment, the sound of a quarrel was heard.

"If you don't have enough money, don't spend it here, if you want to buy it, go home and get the money." The guy said to a thin, but very white man.

"Man, I really want to buy this book, I'm going to take the Xiucai exam at the end of the month, can you wait for me to be admitted to Xiucai to repay your money, or you see what you need, I'll do it for you."

"Poor scholar, you have been taking the exam for a few years, and you haven't passed the exam yet. When you get in, I'm about to change people in this bookstore. The implication is that you won't be able to pass the exam in your life.

Although Mu Yan was angry, he also knew that it was difficult to take the show exam these years, and he also understood that he couldn't do anything without money.

Mu Yan picked up a few books, took a stack of papers and came to the counter to check out, the two were still arguing.

"Please, man, if I can't pass the exam this time, I won't take the test, I'll work hard for you and make up for the book."

"I said this last year, and I said it for thousands of years, and my ears are tired of hearing it."

Hua Chaoxiucai takes the exam once a year, and it seems that this scholar is at least the third exam this year.

Mu Yan couldn't listen to it anymore, he still had a lot of things to do, and he couldn't waste time here all the time.

"Man, hurry up and settle the bill for me, I'm in a hurry to leave." Mu Yan hurriedly said.

"Did you hear that, I'm busy here, Wei Gongzi should please go back." After the guy finished speaking, he said to Mu Yan: "A total of 120 Wen." ”

Mu Yan took out the money, gave it to the buddy, turned around and left, and after a while, he realized that something was wrong.

That Wei Gongzi pulled Mu Yan's arm and cried and said, "Girl, be kind, this is really my last time to take the Xiucai test, can you help me plead with my buddy." ”

Seeing this, Fan Jing immediately walked to Mu Yan's side and shook off the claws of Wei Gongzi fiercely, he didn't know what was going on, and he was very angry when he saw the man touching Mu Yan.

Mu Yan also remembered the days when he was working part-time in college because he had no money, and in order to buy a notebook, he did sales for several weeks. The tip of his nose was sore, and he said to that Wei Gongzi with some distress: "I can help you, but you have to promise me one condition." ”

"Okay, I agree to any conditions, I just ask the girl to let me participate in the talent exam at the end of the month."

"That's what you said. My conditions are also very simple, you be my writer. It's me who gives you a story, and you write it. Then I will pay you according to the content and word count. ”

Wei Gongzi thought about it and agreed. So, with the help of their buddies, the two signed a contract on the spot, agreeing: After the end of the Xiucai exam at the end of the month, if Wei Lie can be admitted to Xiucai, he owes Chai Muyan 50 yuan and will return it within a month, and if Wei Lie is not admitted to Xiucai, he will be a writer for Chai Muyan, and the manuscript fee will be stipulated by Chai Muyan. In triplicate, the two signed the contract and pressed their handprints, and one was left for the guy on the spot.

This little girl also said that she didn't know how to read, and she signed very smoothly just now, although she didn't write well.

Mu Yan noticed Fan Jing's gaze, it was broken, he said just now that he didn't know how to read, what was the matter with signing his name. There is a feeling of being caught, what to do.

Mu Yan is going to cover his ears and steal the bell, so be it, let's talk about it when he asks. Mu Yan turned to Wei Lie, "Master Wei, when the results come out, you can go to the northernmost house in Chaijia Village to find me." ”

"Thank you Miss Yan'er, no matter if you pass the exam or not, I will go to find the girl."

Mu Yan answered and left.

The two walked on the road together, Mu Yan was very worried, why didn't Fan Jing ask.

Fan Jing saw Mu Yan's nervous little appearance, thought it was so funny, hooked Mu Yan's nose and said, "Don't be nervous, I will help you keep it a secret." ”

Mu Yan saw Fan Jing's serious appearance, and somehow believed his words, and the nervousness and apprehension disappeared.

Fan Jing saw that Mu Yan had returned to normal, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Isn't it time to invite me to eat steamed buns?" ”

"Huh? That's going to buy it. ”

The two of them ate and strolled, bought some fine noodles, oil, polished rice, cabbage, okra and other seeds and walked outside the city wall.
