In this world's imperial examination, there are four books and five classics, but the four books are the most important, and the five classics only need to choose one of them as the main scripture.

In fact, it is four books and one classic.

Gu Sheng's eyes were on the Book of Filial Piety.

Because of the small number of words.

It's less than 2,000 words.

Gu Sheng quickly finished reading the "Book of Filial Piety", but this time the table was empty and there was no change.

Gu Sheng thought about it and studied it carefully word by word.

When he carefully read the last page, another medium ingot appeared on the table.

Gu Sheng threw away the "Book of Filial Piety", his face was full of joy, twenty taels of silver, this is really a huge amount of money.

It's not that he sees money, he copies books on the street, and he doesn't have a tael of silver for a month.

A private school gentleman has an annual income of more than a dozen taels, plus some other incomes, he can have about twenty taels of silver, which is already considered an upper-middle level in a county of tens of thousands of people.

Only after experiencing the days when even rice was a luxury and you couldn't see meat for a few days did you know how important money is.

"Calm down, calm down, I don't know if Yan Ruyu is playing tricks."

Gu Sheng secretly admonished himself.

But the corners of his mouth are almost hanging to the root of his ears.

If it weren't for Yan Ruyu, he would have been able to get silver by reading books by himself, and he would have been able to live comfortably in this world.

……

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Gu Sheng hurriedly went out with a pen and ink paper on his back with a table.

I also brought a book with me.

"Erya", more than 13,000 words.

He wanted to see if he could get silver by reading books elsewhere, and if he could, it would have nothing to do with Yan Ruyu.

You can rest assured.

On the side of the street, Gu Sheng was holding a book, rubbing his eyes at the same time, even if his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, he was still studying there carefully, and he was deaf to everything around him.

The people around him who knew him had some respect in their hearts.

It's no wonder that people can be admitted to middle school in their teens, and this hard work of forgetting to sleep and eat alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

All the way to the last page of the book, Gu Sheng set aside some thoughts to pay attention to the surroundings.

A moment later.

"Let's go"

Gu Sheng quickly received the silver ingot into his arms.

He finally determined that it was not Yan Ruyu who was playing tricks.

"There is really Yan Ruyu in the book, there is also a golden house in the book, the Chinese do not lie to the Chinese, the ancients really did not lie to me!"

Gu Sheng felt that the sky was blue, the climate was warm, the wind was smoky, and the dogs running on the road were all clear-eyed.

I got up, picked up pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books and ran home, couldn't stay up, and went home to sleep.

"Gu Xianggong, what are you going to do?"

"Go home!"

"Table, your table confiscated."

"Don't do it!" Gu Sheng shouted without looking back.

If you read books, you will have money, and Yan Ruyu, what kind of stall will you have? What other letters do you write?

Only the owner of the shop next to him was stunned, what is the Gu family kid crazy today?

After knocking on the courtyard door a few times, Yan Ruyu glanced through the crack in the door, and hurriedly opened the door: "Childe, why did you come back so early?" What about the table? ”

"No more stalls, no more in the future!" Gu Sheng laughed. "I'll go back to the house and sleep first, and call me before the end!"

It was around 3 p.m. at the end of the day.

Yan Ruyu heard Gu Sheng's laughter, watched him run into the house quickly, showed a smile, and closed the courtyard door.

……

"Childe...... Son...... It's not the end of the day! ”

Gu Sheng was woken up in a daze, sat up and shook his head, and finally woke up.

I touched the pillow with my hand and touched three silver ingots, and the whole person immediately sobered up a lot.

"Childe, you let the slave family call you up at the end of the day, it's time." Yan Ruyu stood beside the bed and said.

How Gu Sheng looked at Yan Ruyu at this time, how pleasing to the eye.

Yan Ruyu was originally stunning, Gu Sheng had always suspected what kind of monster she was, and he was vigilant.

At this time, put your mind at ease, and then face the stunning beauty is not as repulsive as before.

looked at the gauze skirt on Yan Ruyu's body, and the skirt and sleeves were a little dirty.

Gu Sheng thought for a moment and said:

"You clean up, let's go and measure our clothes in a while, then go to the bookstore to buy books, and come back to buy a few catties of meat."

"Okay." Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled brightly.

"You cover your face......" Gu Sheng said again.

This world is not modern, and such a woman walking on the street is easy to be spied on and cause trouble.

"Okay." Yan Ruyu smiled, and took out a scarf from her sleeve to cover the lower half of her face.

Gu Sheng looked up and down, and the autumn-like eyes after covering his face became even more attractive, and with his slender posture, it was easy to attract attention.

But it's better than just now.

Since it's not a monster, you have to make clothes, and you can't wear this all the time, right?

This dress is not easy to work on, and it is not resistant to dirt.

Walking on the street, Yan Ruyu followed behind Gu Sheng step by step, looking left and right, seeing that everything was fresh.

Tugged Gu Sheng's sleeve from time to time: "Childe, you see that there is a candy pincher." ”

"Childe, there's a puppy seller."

"Childe ......"

In the past two days, Yan Ruyu was honest and looked very gentle.

I didn't expect it to be active as soon as it came out.,Like a half-grown girl.。

But think about her face, it seems to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

And he was about this age when he died in "Lu Guang's Travels".

"Do you know martial arts?" Gu Sheng suddenly thought of this question, he had always thought about living in peace, and it was more suitable for him to take the merit test.

Now that his livelihood is not a problem, and it seems that he is not short of money, Gu Sheng thinks of martial arts again, at least he can defend himself after learning it.

If you have the opportunity to learn, you can worship a master and learn a few hand skills.

"No, it won't." Yan Ruyu said neatly.

"It is written in the book that you have learned martial arts since childhood...... Gu Sheng was a little disappointed, it seems that Lu Guang's travels are just hearsay, and there is still a difference between them and the facts.

"I don't know, the previous things are vague, I don't remember."

"If you don't remember, you can't remember." Gu Sheng shook his head, but he didn't care too much.

Since there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is also a golden house in the book, maybe you can get something else by reading the book, such as martial arts or Taoism.

Gu Sheng is now focusing on books.

First went to the tailor's shop on the street, Gu Sheng made himself two cyan robes, and the ones on his body were washed white.

I measured Yan Ruyu's size again and made two cotton clothes, one white and one blue.

After all, if you want to be filial piety, Gu Sheng thinks she must look good in white.

Blue Dirt Resistant ......

Another man made a pair of undergarments, and spent a total of 2 taels and 3 pieces of silver.

I have to say, it's really expensive.

If Gu Sheng alone relied on setting up a stall to write letters, contracts, and lawsuits on behalf of others, the two of them could barely eat enough, and it would be good to be able to make a dress during the New Year.

After making clothes, I went to the bookstore, to be honest, there are not many types of books, and the most placed is the Four Books and Five Classics, and there are some famous annotations, followed by some poems and songs.

As for novels, travelogues and the like, there are not many.

And that's his main goal.

Several books of the Four Books and Five Classics were all obtained in silver, but the travelogue was Yan Ruyu, Gu Sheng felt that these miscellaneous books were more suitable than the Four Books and Five Classics.

Gu Sheng walked around for a long time and chose five travelogues, six Zhiwei novels, and one "Tao Te Ching".

There is only one Taoist book, and none of the Buddhist books......

"A total of four taels and six coins of silver, this Tao Te Ching is beautifully printed, and it is ......a little more expensive," said the bookstore owner.

"Okay." Gu Sheng took out a handful of silver bills to settle the bill.

The two walked all the way back and went to the butcher shop to buy meat.

"A pound of pork belly, a pound of lean meat." Gu Sheng said.

While waiting to cut the meat, the voice next to him caught his attention.

"Have you heard? Two officials died last night......"

"What's more, the old Li family in the east is dead, the blood is flowing all over the ground, and the heart and liver are all pulled out."

"Didn't that cat-faced monster kill people on the street before? How did you run to someone's house this time? “

"Alas, it's not safe to hide at home now......"

"Why hasn't the Daoist of Qingyun Temple come yet?"

"I heard that something strange happened in the next county, so I invited the Taoist of Qingyunguan to ...... first."

Gu Sheng's heart tightened after hearing this, he didn't expect that the cat-faced monster would run to someone's house to eat people.

……

A little farther away at the mouth of the alley, two splashes on the street were chatting with their arms crossed, glancing at this side from time to time.
