Chapter Eighty-Three: Climbing the Wall
And the three brothers outside lost the mood to read because of the Lu family. Da Lang held on, and planned to look at it for a while, but Erlang was already packing up his things.
"Second brother! You don't read anymore? Saburo saw Erlang packing up his things, and he also stood up, ready to go together.
"Let's go back to sleep early!" Erlang glanced at the room, and dragged the book in his hand tightly, and he didn't want anything before giving it to them. Looking at the charcoal basin burning in front of him, Jiro felt that it was an unsightly nuisance at the moment. Before this, he felt warm, but now he felt that the charcoal burning in the charcoal basin seemed to turn into a smiling face, laughing at them.
He took a deep breath, ignored San Lang who was chasing behind, and walked straight to the west wing.
"Mother! Are you going to town today? "No wonder when he came back, Lu Shi was dressed more elaborately than usual.
Lu Shi sighed deeply when he was asked, "It's not because of your third sister-in-law?" I took your third sister-in-law today and wanted to go to Jingyuan Temple on Yunshan Mountain to burn incense. Your second sister-in-law ......"
Lu Shi was asked about his troubles, and he didn't think much about it, so he blurted out. But halfway through it, it didn't feel right, how could you tell the little baby such a thing? What's more, it's his sister-in-law?
"Ahem! Why are you asking so much, little baby? That's not something you should care about. Go to bed early! I went back too. Lu was afraid that Gu Chengyu would continue to ask, so he hurriedly walked out of the study.
Gu Chengyu pursed his lips, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and watched Lu Shi's footsteps walk quickly amusedly. In fact, Lu didn't say it, he also knew what was going on. Didn't you go to Jingyuan Temple to ask for a child?
Gu Chengyu put a few books on the bookcase and prepared to go back to his room. When he walked outside, he found that Da Lang was scratching his ears and cheeks, and he was still holding the book "University" in his hand.
Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that he had also bought plum blossom cake today, and went back to the room to take out a bag of plum blossom cake and a small bag of pine nut candy.
"But what else haven't you figured out? Just show me? Gu Chengyu stood in front of Da Lang's bookcase and asked with a smile.
"Huh? Uncle hasn't left yet? No need, I can understand if I think about it myself, Uncle go to sleep first! "Da Lang really doesn't want to trouble Uncle, where won't it? It's not going anywhere! He was too embarrassed to ask his uncle.
"As I said, just ask me where you won't. This bag of sugar and plum blossom cake, you bring it to your nieces to eat, and the girls like to eat these sweets. Gu Chengyu put the paper bag in his hand on Da Lang's bookcase.
"Hey! Uncle went to copy books again? Da Lang asked enviously. At the same time, when he saw the two packs of snacks, he didn't shirk it, this is not the first time that the uncle has brought something back to the eldest girl, he is used to it.
"It's time for the exam, and the books in Pan's shopkeeper's shop are selling fast, so I helped copy a few copies. Go to bed early! Gu Chengyu saw that Da Lang refused to trouble him, so he was no longer reluctant.
Shanhe Town is a small town after all, so the Xi bookstore does not often need to ask people to copy books, and generally has inventory, and the shopkeeper Pan no longer asks people to copy it. Gu Chengyu copied and wrote quickly and well. Although he only needs block letters, his words are arranged very neatly, and the writing is clean and tidy, and the shopkeeper Pan is very satisfied.
Therefore, as long as there is a job of copying books, it will generally be left to Gu Chengyu, and it will be too late for others to copy.
The money for copying a book also depends on the thickness of the book, Gu Chengyu copied a book "Thousand Character Text", it takes about three days, which is copied after completing schoolwork, and you can get twenty texts after copying. If it's thick, you have to add money.
Before, Da Lang was very excited when he heard this, and wanted to ask Gu Chengyu to bring him two copies back to copy, so that he could earn some copper plates in his hands. Although I eat and drink at home, I have no money in my hands, and I am panicked!
Later, after Jiro found out, he laughed. Da Lang's writing can only be barely regarded as correct, such a word to copy the book, can the shopkeeper Pan receive? didn't have to waste pen and ink, in fact, Gu Chengyu originally planned to make up for it himself, even if he meant to give a few copper plates, it couldn't hit his confidence too much, right?
But it has been punctured by Erlang, and Da Lang is ashamed to die, how dare he mention this stubble again? So every time he mentioned copying books after that, Da Lang was envious.
When Gu Chengyu was about to go back to the house to sleep, a cuckoo cry suddenly came from outside the window, "cuckoo", "cuckoo".
When Gu Chengyu heard this cry, he only felt a black line in his head.
"Huh? Brother-in-law? Where did the cuckoo come from in this winter? It's still a big night. "Da Lang is a little strange, why is there such a strange thing?
"Who knows? Go back and rest first! I remember that I still have some books to sort out, you go first! Gu Chengyu said and returned to the back of the study.
"Uncle! Why don't I wait for you? Otherwise, the book will be sorted out again. Da Lang saw that it was dark outside, and he was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be afraid.
"No, you don't! What are you afraid of in your own home? You go first! Gu Chengyu excused himself.
Helplessly, Da Lang can only go first, he knows that his uncle loves to be clean and tidy on weekdays, if he doesn't let him tidy up, he may not even be able to sleep! And Uncle actually doesn't like others to touch his things, although Uncle didn't say it, but he has already seen it.
Da Lang thought that he should be fine at home, so he went back with the lantern.
Gu Chengyu heard that Da Lang had already left outside, so he walked outside and opened the door.
"Ouch! It really hurts me, and the wall is too high. At this moment, a man's voice came from outside.
Gu Chengyu didn't feel surprised, so he sat on the chair and waited for the people outside to come in.
"Childe! Next time, will you not let me climb the wall of your house again? The walls of your house are too high, and you are waiting outside at night, but it is really cold! It almost froze my nose off. ”
As soon as the man entered the house, he complained.
After a while, he found that no one answered, so he raised his head and looked at the person sitting in the chair.
I saw Gu Chengyu's expression that seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. He didn't speak, just looked at him.
"Ouch! Look at me, and talk nonsense, on such a cold day, if I didn't come in, do you still want to let my son out? The man was a little stumbling at this time, and as he spoke, the conspicuous big mole on the corner of his mouth also trembled.
"Yu paralyzed! How was the last time I told you what to do? ”
It turned out that this person was Yu Paralytic, and the extra paralyzed man had been doing things with Gu Chengyu for the past two years, and there were many things that Gu Chengyu was inconvenient to do, and they were handed over to Yu Paralytic. Because of the constraints of "poison", Yu is quite obedient, and he can be satisfied with what he does.
"As long as it is explained by the son, how dare I not do it? It's all ready, and I've already arranged everyone in that small courtyard! Yu paralyzed looked at the little baby in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.
