Outside the window, the sky lit up with a touch of fish belly white, and the rooster next door began to crow.

Gu Sheng yawned and put down the book in his hand.

He didn't dare to go back to sleep at all, and he read the book in his room all night, which was still "Lu Guang's Travels", and he read it again.

However, this time, there was no second Yan Ruyu who came out of the book.

picked up a copy of the Book of Songs, but the upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

In a daze, hearing the sound of Si Xi Suo from next door, Gu Sheng suddenly woke up and grabbed the handle of the axe.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and Yan Ruyu stood in front of the door: "Childe has worked hard, I'll go cook for Childe." ”

Listening to the sound of cooking on the fire from the kitchen, Gu Sheng frowned.

At this time, it was already dark, and the other party was still ...... Could it be really Yan Ruyu? Jumped out of the book?

However, this tone and behavior are not like the chivalrous Yan Ruyu in the book.

Yan Ruyu's head poked out from the door: "Son, do you want the slave family to serve and wash?" ”

"No need...... Gu Sheng waved his hand, pinned the axe behind his waist, went out to wash his face, and suddenly felt a lot sober.

Half an hour later, a bowl of hot cereals and a bowl of boiled greens were placed in front of me.

"Childe eats." Yan Ruyu showed a smile after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, giving people a very clean feeling.

At this time, the sun has come out, and the person in front of him is still there.

Gu Sheng was at least sure that the other party was not a ghost.

But it's hard to say if it's a youkai or not.

Gu Sheng began to pick up rice as soon as he was in his heart, the other party didn't make such a lot of effort to poison himself, right?

After eating a meal, there was no bleeding or abdominal cramps, and Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't seem like the other party is trying to harm themselves?

Looking up at Yan Ruyu, who was sitting there looking at him with a smile on his face, Gu Sheng fell into deep thought again.

Is there such a possibility that the other party wants to let his guard down first, and then seduce himself and squeeze himself out?

I'll have to be vigilant and watch out for the enemy's sugar-coated shells.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Yan Ruyu holding a bowl and eating there with the leftover vegetable soup.

"Miss Yan, aren't you going back to your hometown to have a look?" Gu Sheng asked.

"The past has long passed, and now the slave family exists because of the son, so naturally he wants to stay here to take care of the son." Yan Ruyu said with a smile.

"In addition, the son can call the name of the slave family."

"Whatever you want......" Gu Sheng sighed, the other party refused to leave, and it was useless to say too much to himself.

Pick up a book, load it with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and go to the courtyard to fold the table on your back, and prepare to set up a stall on the street.

"Someone died again last night...... It was the owner of Jianxingfang, and when he heard the sound at night, he went out to check, so he couldn't go back. ”

"I watched it in the morning, and the orphans and widows at home cried so badly......"

"Alas, when is this man panicking?"

"Didn't you say that you went to invite the master of Qingyunguan? Why haven't you come yet......"

Hearing the discussions of passers-by, Gu Sheng's face was expressionless.

If it had been before, he would have been quite worried.

But now I have one at home.

He doesn't care anymore.

Tired.

Destroy it.

Gu Sheng dozed off for a day and helped someone write a letter, 100 words and 30 words, which can buy 10 catties of millet.

It seems like a lot, but it's not every day.

He only wrote three letters in four days, earning 90 essays.

And he also needs to buy pen and ink, buy salt, buy vegetable oil to light lamps, and the stall also has a booth fee of 80 wen per month, and collects a mouth tax twice a year, that is, a poll tax, and there will be more than a month next time.

In addition to this, there is also conscription, and if you don't want to do it, you also have to spend money.

This shows how difficult it is for ordinary people in this world to live.

That's why he wants to take the Xiucai exam, and after being admitted to Xiucai, he can not only have a good income, but also don't have to pay taxes and serve as a servant.

In the evening, Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and went to the butcher shop to weigh a pound of pork belly, with more fat and less lean, and he could squeeze out more oil.

He hadn't seen oil and water for days, and he felt like he was going to die.

When I got to the courtyard door, I pushed it but didn't push it open, only to find that the courtyard door was plugged in.

A rush of footsteps came, Yan Ruyu opened the door, and said with a smile: "Childe is back." ”

At the same time, he rolled up his sleeves, helped Gu Sheng take down the simple folding table from his back and put it aside, and took away Gu Sheng's burden and the meat in his hand, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

With a faint fragrance around the tip of his nose, Gu Sheng looked at the other party's busy posture, and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, standing in place for a long time before coming back to his senses.

"I need to be vigilant! She just wanted me to relax and then take the opportunity to suck me dry. Gu Sheng thought it several times in his heart.

"Childe, the slave family will take out some oil and cook another soup." Yan Ruyu shouted from the kitchen.

"Whatever you want." Gu Sheng shook his head.

At dinner, Gu Sheng saw that there was only a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice on the table, Gu Sheng sighed in his heart and said, "Let's eat together." ”

"Okay son." Yan Ruyu smiled happily and sat aside with a small bowl in her hand.

Although only a little salt and green vegetables were put in, it was not even as good as home-cooked food in the previous life, at least the home-cooked food still had monosodium glutamate and chicken essence thirteen spices, but Gu Sheng licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

I've never drunk such a delicious soup in my life.

After dinner, Yan Ruyu had already lit the oil lamp, and then took Gu Sheng's clothes to wash.

Listening to the sound of washing clothes from the yard, Gu Sheng sat there holding a book in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and read carefully.

I don't know how long I watched it, Yan Ruyu pushed the door and came in: "Childe, it's late, it's time to rest." ”

"You go and rest, I'm going to read." Gu Sheng put one hand on the handle of the axe, turned his head and said.

"The slave family will go to the next room to rest first, and if the son has something, he will shout." Yan Ruyu smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, and her eyes flowed gently, like an autumn lake, sparkling.

"If Childe wants to come over and rest, it's okay."

Gu Sheng's hand holding the axe tightened, and he said again and again in his heart:

"Calm down...... Calm down...... I must not be tempted by her! ”

"What scene haven't I seen Gu Sheng? Mr. Bo, Mr. Mikami, Mr. Aoiji, Mr. Yumi, Mr. Dawei Tianlong, Prajnaba, and Kong! ”

"Just a demon trying to tempt me? You don't know what I've been through and how many trials I've been through! ”

Gu Sheng calmed down the fluctuations in his heart for a long time, and turned his head to read.

A book of "The Mean" has not many words, but more than 3,000 words, and it seems to be very slow.

I don't know how long it took to watch it, but Gu Sheng finished reading it, and he only felt that his eyes were sore and painful.

Rubbing his eyes, he was just about to stretch his waist when he heard a bang on the table.

A hammer-shaped silver ingot, the size of a finger, appeared on the table.

Gu Sheng rubbed his eyes again, the silver ingot was still there, with a faint reflection in the light of the oil lamp.

"It's ......"

Gu Sheng took the silver ingot in his hand and gradually grew his mouth.

It's true, not dazzling.

In this world, a thousand copper coins can be exchanged for one or two pieces of silver, and there are several types of silver.

less than a tael of broken silver, a tael of coins, ten taels of medium ingots, and fifty taels of silver.

The hammer-shaped silver ingot on the table is a medium ingot of ten taels.

"I came up after reading a book?"

"Just like Yan Ruyu?"

"I get things falling out when I read a book?"

"Or is all this Yan Ruyu's ghost?"

Gu Sheng's expression changed uncertainly, and he was a little suspicious for a while.

If it's the former...... Then I'm really going to make it, at least I have the freedom to eat meat.

If it's the latter...... Sister, as long as you don't want my life, we can discuss, and it's not impossible for you to follow.

Taking a few deep breaths, Gu Sheng put the silver ingot aside, picked up Zhongyong and read it again.

Nothing has changed this time, though.

"A book can only be read once? Or do you only get one thing a day from a book? ”

Gu Sheng's gaze shifted to a few other books.
