The Qi family suddenly had such an incident, and even the Chu family became everyone's after-dinner conversation. Everyone didn't know what happened, they only knew that the Chu family helped the Qi family, and the mother and son of the Qi family, who were about to be unlucky, actually retreated.

Everyone is saying that Chu Junxi must have used some kind of magic art, and it is really a monster; Some people also think that in order to marry their daughter, the Chu family posted the Qi family to pay off their debts. All kinds of ideas emerge one after another, and even Chu Junxi has to admire the brains of this group of ancient people.

But for Qi Mu, these words were very harsh. She was told that it didn't matter, and her son could endure being bullied, but she didn't want the Chu family, who was kind enough to help her, to fall into such a situation. While the children were all out to be busy, Qi's mother went to Chu's house to find Chu's mother to gossip.

"Sister-in-law Chu, we can't help this matter this time, your family, especially the child in Xi'er, always tries their best to help our family, but because we are gossiped about by those people outside...... I'm really ashamed. ”

"Sister Qi, what you said is too serious! What is not ashamed, our two families are also dependent on each other, this world is always bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, our girl is always on a rampage now, with your family A Ran pulling, you can also settle down. Mother Chu's work in her hands did not stop, and at the same time replied to Mother Qi's words, no one in their family took these words seriously, and the only thing she was worried about was when she heard about her daughter's deeds.

"But ......" Mother Qi had long known that the Chu family didn't care about these at all, but Chu Junxi was still a girl after all, and such rumors would always affect her reputation.

"It's nothing, you can rest assured." After Mu Chu finished repairing a flower, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, "I also really think that you and Qi Ran are good, otherwise we won't help you." Besides, this time this girl played a clever trick and borrowed the power of the official lady of the Fang family, we have nothing to lose, this is the best result. ”

Qi Mu paused, there was something she had actually thought about for a long time, but she had never had the courage to say it, and she also felt that she had said it, for fear that everyone would be stiff. "Sister-in-law Chu, I also like Xi'er very much. This child is rumored to be demonized outside, but I know that she is a good child, and she is kinder and braver than anyone else, I think ......"

Mother Chu saw that Mother Qi was suddenly hesitant, and she also understood what she was going to say, but she couldn't speak first about this matter, she still had to be more reserved for her own girl. "What do you want? Why don't you say it? ”

It was obvious that she had already guessed it, but she deliberately didn't say it, Qi Mu was a little ashamed, but she was not angry. "Sister-in-law Chu - then I'll say it! I think these two children are together every day, and the relationship is also good. They are not young anymore, and it is better to settle things than to let those people outside gossip! ”

Although he had been prepared, he was a little embarrassed when he really waited for Qi Mu to say it. "Our family Xi'er is naturally the best child for me and his father. Especially lately, I've been busy with my family. We also like Qi Ran's child, well-behaved and sensible, and he is also very responsible when necessary, and he happens to complement Xi'er. We've had already discussed it, and my father and I agreed. But after all, this is still a children's business, and we can't rush it. Xi'er is still young, I'm afraid I don't understand these things yet, let them get along again, the child is older, and then let them decide for themselves! ”

Chu Junxi is almost fourteen years old, and he is indeed not in a hurry. As long as you don't care about those gossips, wait another year or two, and there will be nothing.

The two mothers secretly acquiesced to the relationship between the two children, but the parties did not know about it, and they were even working hard to make money.

Chu Junxi has thought about one thing in the past few days, and now his father has been taking care of the family and the field, and Qi Ran may not necessarily come to help every day. There is not much money he can give Qi Ran, and he won't ask for it if he gives too much, but the Qi family still can't continue like this. Qi's mother's health is not good, and the money for medicine is always indispensable, so she wants to help Qi Ran find something to do.

When she came to town yesterday, she happened to meet a gentleman from a private school who was buying books, but the owner of the bookstore refused to sell the only books. When Chu Junxi saw it, he suddenly had an idea: although Qi Ran didn't have the opportunity to write, his usual handwriting with branches was also very good-looking, and if he went to help copy the book, he would definitely be able to make some money.

"Uncle, how did you think about what I told you yesterday? I've brought people today! Chu Junxi pulled Qi Ran over, and when she came in the morning, she told her about it, Qi Ran listened very carefully, and felt that this matter was more reliable.

"Can you write?" Naturally, the owner of the bookstore needed someone to copy the books for him, but he didn't believe that this little mute could help him.

Qi Ran nodded, and then pointed to the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the side. The owner of the bookstore was originally practicing calligraphy by himself, and there happened to be a place where he could test himself.

The boss glanced at his desk, so refreshing to take the initiative to show, it seems that it really will, but whether this word is well written is another matter. He also thought about finding someone to help him copy more books before, but the people who could come couldn't get their hands on the ink, and those who wrote well were all students of private schools, pretentious and high-minded, and they didn't want to do this errand.

If Qi Ran can really come up with a good hand, then he won't discriminate against him for being a dumb person. "There's pen and paper over there, I'll take a look at a few words you write, and use those used waste paper!"

The boss is naturally able to save money, after all, paper also costs money, in case Qi Dye is just arrogant and boastful, and he writes a bad hand, then he will waste a piece of paper.

Qi Ran wasn't angry, he just walked over and picked it, took a piece of rice paper with a relatively large space, and spread it out smoothly. The ink is also already ground and can be used directly.

Qi Ran picked up the pen, paused, seemed to be thinking about what to write, and then began to put pen to paper. Qi Ran wrote very quickly, and in a short time the blank space of the paper was filled.

"A gentleman walks in his own position, and does not want to be outside of it. Rich and noble, noble and noble; Poor and lowly, poor and lowly; Su Yidi, line Yidi; Hardships are hardships, and gentlemen are not satisfied without entering. If you don't go down to the top, you don't help in the lower position, and you don't want to ask for others, then you have no complaints. The top does not complain about the sky, and the bottom does not complain about people. Therefore, the gentleman is easy to live. The villain took a risk to get lucky. ”

The owner of the bookstore took the rice paper handed by Qi Ran, read the contents of the paper, and couldn't help but be surprised. "This is the content of "The Mean", I didn't expect you to be able to write this paragraph so quickly! And your handwriting is really good, the handwriting is calm and introverted, and it is the most suitable for copying books! ”

Copying books is not only to write beautifully, but also to be upright and neat, and the neatly dyed characters make the bookstore owner very satisfied.

"Uncle, I'll just say that my brother Aran will definitely be able to! If you do need to copy a book, then let's talk about the price? Chu Junxi wasn't worried about Qi Ran's words at all, but when she heard the appreciation of the bookstore owner, she couldn't help but be proud.

Chu Junxi looked at Qi Ran, and Qi Ran also smiled at her. Thankfully, it didn't disappoint you.

"I have a lot of books here that need to be transcribed, and I can settle them according to the number of words or pages, and every five pages copied is worth one penny, and a book can be copied for twenty or thirty dollars. What do you guys think? ”

Chu Junxi did not directly make the decision for Qi Ran, but asked his hand speed first. "Brother Aran, how long will it take for you to copy a book?"

Qi Ran stretched out two fingers, and Chu Junxi was a little confused. "Two days?"

Qi Ran shook his head and smiled. Chu Junxi suddenly realized from that smile, "Just two hours? ”

"If you follow his speed just now, it will indeed take about two hours or so." The bookstore owner nodded, writing well and quickly, this is indeed very good.

"Uncle, how much does it cost you to sell a book here? I look at the ordinary people who can't afford it. Chu Junxi needs to calculate, copying a book is a lot of money for twenty or thirty yuan, but she still wants to fight for more benefits for Qi Ran.

"Hahaha, you girl! My usual books here are one or two pieces of silver, but if it is a rare book, or even a one-of-a-kind book, the price will be several times more expensive! The most expensive one I sold for thirty taels of silver! "His shop is clearly priced, and it doesn't hurt to say it.

Chu Junxi thought about it, usually in the morning they will take turns to follow their father out to deliver food, if it is fixed for Qi Ran to come in the future, then when the vegetables sold are transported, Qi Ran can come over every day to copy books.

"Uncle, I have a request, you know our situation, the family is not a wealthy family, if you let Brother Ah Ran take the book back to copy, the pages may be stained, and we can't afford to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone. So ......"

"Anyway, I agreed to this person, and the price is not negotiable!" The owner of the bookstore had already approved Qi Ran, and he agreed very happily.

"I want to let Brother Aran come to you every day to copy books, and you provide pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a place to copy books. While we do take advantage of it, it's also easy for you to supervise right under your nose, isn't it? ”

Chu Junxi spoke in a much polite tone, for fear that the boss would not agree. And she still has a little thought, of course she can't tell the boss!

The owner of the bookstore only thought about it for a moment and quickly agreed. "That's it, you go back first today, I'll sort out the books that need to be transcribed first, and you can come tomorrow."

"Thank you to the owner! Uncle, you are really a good person, don't worry, with the help of my brother Aran, your store business will get better and better in the future! Chu Junxi played a sweet offensive again, and Qi Ran also made a gesture to express his gratitude.

After leaving the book house, Chu Junxi said that thought. "Brother Aran, you can earn a lot of money by copying books every day in the future, and there are a lot of books in the bookstore, you are copying books while reading them, and there are some lonely books, which is really profitable! Don't you want to thank me! ”

Qi Ran looked at Chu Junxi with a doting smile, he had already guessed it, but when he heard her say it herself, his heart was even more happy.
