This year, Li Jicai was eighteen years old, although she was wearing the body of a thirteen-year-old maid. Li Jiye was twelve years old, escaped from Yan State, and accidentally depended on Li Jicai in Chu State.

Li Jiye is really determined to work hard to take the imperial examination, not only to survive, but also to be able to fight in front of Li Jicai.

Two days later, Li Jicai successfully found a job in a small inn.

Of course, in her words, this is work, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is an errand runner, a junior who runs the hall.

Because Li Jicai's body is thin and small, and his hair is twisted with scissors, he looks no different from a man.

At the beginning, he told the shopkeeper that he was a woman, and the shopkeeper generally refused to accept it. First of all, if a woman can come out and show her face, she is not a good woman, and secondly, a woman's strength is generally relatively small, and she can't do heavy work.

However, Li Jicai insisted on putting on men's clothes and pretending to be a junior to serve the guests.

He is now working as a laborer in the hotel for free for three days, and the shopkeeper sees that he is diligent and energetic in doing things, and he is not lazy at all. After thinking about her status as a woman, she felt that it should not be a problem to use her in the short term, and she would be dismissed after a while.

In this way, with her efforts, Li Jicai successfully found her first job in ancient times.

It's the second child who runs the hall.

She originally planned to start her own business, but the most important thing at the moment was to solve the matter of how Li Jiye studied in the book club first.

I heard that there will be some respected teachers in the book club here from time to time to give lectures, and the most important thing is that there are free books to read, but if you enter the book club, you still have to pass the test of the owner of the book club, and if you pass the test, you will be considered to have paid the threshold fee. I heard that when I finished learning in this book club, I would return to this book club to write inscriptions, and the relationship with the owner of the book club was also very good, so this was a way to recruit talents, and Li Jicai could see it through. When she was in junior high school, she was interested in politics and studied very well.

She can naturally see such a simple recruitment.

Li Ji still wears his old robe during the day, and of course he walks a long way every time, because he is afraid that everyone in the vicinity will recognize him as a fake monk.

Li Jicai told him to let him hold on for a few more days, and soon she would be able to get what he needed.

Li Jicai explained to Mrs. Fan that she already had something to do, so the cooking fell to Li Jiye.

At the beginning, Li Jiye's cooking would always make Mrs. Fan's face darken. Because it's so unpalatable.

But it was under the spur of the black face that his cooking gradually went on the right path.

Because he works in the inn, Li Jicai can come into contact with a lot of leftovers every night.

Sometimes the shopkeeper will be kind and give those that can't be eaten to Li Jicai to reward her.

In addition, she is diligent and quick with her hands and feet, although she is thin, but the smile on her face is very bright, and some guests will give her money when they see her please.

After coming and going, the business of this inn is getting better and better, and Li Jicai is also making more and more money.

And the shopkeeper agreed to advance a small amount of money to her in advance after Li Jicai did five days of work, saying that there was an urgent matter at home, and she was willing to do more work to beg the boss to be kind.

fled along the way, and Li Jicai was already perfect for such things as pretending to be pitiful and crying.

Originally, Li Jicai planned to go to the tailor's shop and said in advance that he would order two clothes, that is, the style worn by those literati in the capital, and it would be cheaper.

But I didn't expect Mrs. Fan to reach out and send charcoal in the snow.

Li Jicai can't sew and mend clothes, but Mrs. Fan can! Mrs. Fan decisively took action to solve the problem of their sister and brother.

It just so happened that Li Jicai handed over all the little money advanced in advance like the shopkeeper to Mrs. Fan.

When she was young, Mrs. Fan often made clothes to send to her husband on the battlefield, but after her husband died, he didn't have any intention of making men's clothes, and the clothes he wore were also wrinkled and white for a long time, and the fabric was damaged.

And this time, Li Jiye needs to wear more formal clothes to wear in the bookstore, so looking at the sisters and brothers, their performance has been okay recently, so she will find something to do for herself and help them sew and mend them.

It has helped them a lot. For none of them knew how to mend their clothes.

Mrs. Fan was very disgusted, looking at Li Jiye is such a big girl, why can't she sew clothes, it's because the family is too spoiled, you must know how a girl can't be a female worker, if a girl can't be a female worker, she will be disliked by her in-laws when she marries in the future.

She didn't have a mother-in-law, she didn't have those trivial things, she was a foreigner, she didn't get much treatment when she came here, and it wasn't for her husband, how could she be willing to leave her homeland and come here?

In short, a woman should still learn what she should learn, and since her parents are dead, then he has a responsibility to help her.

Mrs. Fan helped Li Jiye sew two sets of clothes, the old lady is not a person who does not go out, she can still see what men wear nowadays.

Most of the styles are just a few things, and men's clothes have never been as complicated as women's, so they are easy to make.

Li Jicai wants to be a junior in the inn during the day, and he has to come back at night to learn from female workers.

Mrs. Fan gave an order, did she dare to obey?

Li Jicai feels that he is a rough person, but in fact he really is. The old lady asked her to wear a needle, and she was staring at her with wide eyes. In modern times, there are sewing machines that are convenient and fast, and the conditions of ancient people are difficult, and there is no way to learn, and how many women have broken their eyes for it.

However, the advantage of learning from Mrs. Fan is that she finally doesn't have to wear those tattered clothes, and in normal times, the old lady took out some of the clothes she wore when she was young and gave them to Li Jicai.

But fortunately, Li Jiye can finally go to the school club normally, and he won't feel ashamed.

The book club is called the Green Cloud Book Club, and Li Jicai personally sent him over, afraid that he would be afraid of life.

Yingdu is very large, divided into four urban districts, they are in Nancheng District, and there are many book clubs, but in terms of all aspects, it is still the most suitable Green Cloud Book Club, which is quite close to home.

Li Jiye said that it is the same wherever he learns, he has no opinion, anyway, he has learned all those things very much, and now he goes to read the book, it is nothing more than a review, and he is familiar with the examination system of Chu State, after all, Chu State and Yan State are not the same. But Li Jicai still insisted on checking for him, and he still couldn't mess around with the affairs of his studies. Li Jiye couldn't resist him, so he had to go with her. It's still early to participate in the selection, he is not in a hurry, there is still plenty of time. What he was more curious about was that Li Jicai said that he wanted to make a lot of money for him, she was a weak woman, and she fled with him, whether she had any money on her, he didn't know yet? So she must be going down some crooked path, but I don't know why, Li Jiye actually believed what she said. It seems that she has never broken her word about what she promised him.

How will you get the money? Stealing and robbing will definitely not be her style, then she will have to wait and see.

It really whetted his appetite. Where is Lee Ji-chae from? Why does he feel that he doesn't look like a Chu State at all?

Is she also a foreigner? So some incomprehensible customs are inherited from her hometown.

Li Jicai's second job has been done, and it will take more than a month.

She also saved up a little spare money. When she left, the boss was very reluctant to her, because the business in the store suddenly improved a lot during her time. I don't know if it's because of his delusions.

But Li Jicai still resolutely realized the boss's kindness, now Xiao Er's salary is no longer enough to support the family's expenses, and now Li Jiye goes to the book club today, there is no one at home, and it is not convenient to cook for the old lady. Originally, I wanted to make some quick money to solve the problem of clothes for Li Jiye first. Now the problem of clothes, because Mrs. Fan helped make the fabric, so it was naturally solved, so the next thing is the question of how much money she wants to make.

So how can you make a lot of money? This is a serious problem.

Generally speaking, among all professions, a businessman is the most profitable, and it is also possible to make money by becoming a businessman and doing a small business. She remembered that the richest province in the country at that time was Zhejiang Province, saying that all the people in Zhejiang Province were businessmen, and the trading of small books was doing well, and she once wanted to go there, but now it is in ancient times and not in modern times, in terms of the objective conditions of doing business, first of all, she has no principal, secondly, she has no materials, and again what she has to do. These are all things to consider.

In order to think about this problem clearly, Li Jicai became an unemployed young man again.

She didn't do anything, she just lay in bed and wondered what she was going to do.

Sometimes I think about it lying on the bed, sometimes I think about it under the table, sometimes I think about it when I hold Xiao Erhei, and sometimes I think about it when I am burning the fire in front of the stove, anyway, I am thinking about it over and over again. But I didn't have a clue.

A little review of what she does, she worked in a bubble tea shop, a little bit of making some drinks, worked in a restaurant, that shop is a stewed pot, working in an Internet café, the time in the Internet café is the longest, the others are small odd jobs, small short-term workers, temporary workers, didn't learn much, she doesn't do a line like people do a line, she is only 18 years old, what can she do after graduating from junior high school?

After a few days, when the old lady couldn't stand her tangled appearance anymore, she reminded her a little that she should not forget to pay the rent.
