Bookshops are not all printed copies, and the cost of printed copies is high, ranging from a few hundred texts or one or two taels, to more than a dozen taels, and not all forbearance can afford it, so there are handwritten copies, which are much cheaper than printed copies.

Cheng Yun's mind floated, and when the scholar turned to leave, he stepped forward and asked, "Boss, do you still need someone to copy books by hand?" ”

The scholar who had already walked outside the door paused when he heard this, glanced back, and turned to leave.

There are so many books that need to be copied, and they are not here to steal business with him, so there is nothing to be wary of.

Merely...... This man was so eye-catching, he was sure he hadn't seen it.

The scholar thought and gradually walked away.

The shopkeeper asked, "Can you write?" ”

Cheng Yun nodded: "Yes." ”

The shopkeeper took out a pen and paper and motioned for him to write a look.

The moment Cheng Yun held the pen, it seemed that the whole person was calm, the tip of the pen was dipped in ink, and after a little thought, he wrote a sentence on the paper: Ambition is in the Tao, according to virtue, according to benevolence, and in art.

A sentence from the Analects of Confucius.

The first six characters of Cheng Yun are written in regular script, and the last six characters are written in the heavenly bone crane script.

He's going to have to add an extra cent to himself.

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with surprise, and he praised again and again: "This word has become its own style, it must be taught by a famous teacher, right?" ”

Cheng Yun smiled, didn't speak, and only asked, "I don't know if it may meet your requirements." ”

"Of course, of course." Although this word is still a little jerky, it can also be among the best in the world he has seen.

The shopkeeper gave him a copy of "Jokhang Miscellaneous Records" and said, "Give you half a month, is it enough?" ”

Cheng Yun estimated that it should be possible, so he nodded.

The shopkeeper also smiled and nodded, and Cheng Yun looked back.

Shopkeeper: "??? ”

Cheng Yun: "??? ”

"What else?" The shopkeeper asked suspiciously.

Cheng Yun spread his hands and was even more confused: "Don't you give me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”

The shopkeeper laughed and said that they did not provide pen, ink, paper and inkstones, which he had to prepare by himself.

But Cheng Yun doesn't have these things at home.

He frowned slightly and asked the store how much it was for, and the store replied according to the price of different qualities.

It's a little expensive, but it's not unacceptable, Cheng Yun calculated it, and took over the job of copying books, but he could earn it back.

"Then get me a set."

"Okay."

After accepting the things, the copper coins that were not yet hot flowed away again.

Cheng Yun sighed.

Turning his head to look at Erlang and Lingbao, who were holding a book.

Jiro read a travelogue and watched it with relish. Lingbao read an enlightenment book, and he also read it with relish.

Cheng Yun shook his head and chuckled, walked over and asked softly, "Do you understand?" ”

Ling Bao shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

Then you still nod for a while, and suddenly realize it for a while.

As everyone knows, she can't understand it, the king can!

The king would read it to her, and the king was a very responsible teacher.

"It's getting late, we're leaving." Cheng Yun said.

Lingbao said yes and obediently put the book back in its original position.

Cheng Yi is a little reluctant, this travelogue is really good.

Walking out of the bookstore, Cheng Yi saw the thing Cheng Yun was holding in his arms, and asked casually, "Big brother, what book did you buy?" ”

If it's a travelogue, he'll read it.

"I didn't buy it, this is the "Jokhang Miscellaneous Records" that I was going to copy, and then I exchanged remuneration with the store, and only bought cheap pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

To be exact, it should be the cheapest.

In the past, if it weren't for the best ink, he would never have used it.

Cheng Yi was shocked: "Copying books? Big brother, you want to copy books? How does this work? ”

His eldest brother's handwriting was praised even by the priest of the country, but now it is used to copy books......

Cheng Yi was extremely unbalanced.

"It's all about working in the fields, but how can you not copy books?" Cheng Yun said calmly, "You can also read books for free, the best of both worlds." ”

Cheng Yi still thinks it's weird, his eldest brother is so breezy and moony.

After thinking about it, he reluctantly said, "Why don't I copy it?" ”

Cheng Yun said helplessly: "I really don't feel reluctant. ”

Cheng Yi touched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, hammered his palm and said, "Then I can carry the sack!" ”

Twice I came to the county, I can see that some places need people to carry things, but Cheng Yun can't do anything else, and his strength is a good hand.

Cheng Yun said: "It hasn't reached that point yet. ”

Unless it is absolutely necessary, that kind of hard work cannot be done.

Cheng Yun has never done it, but he also knows that it is very hard, which is different from practicing martial arts, Erlang has never suffered anything since he was a child, and he will definitely not be able to stand it.

Moreover, he has a father and an eldest brother, so he shouldn't worry about his livelihood.

patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and he said, "Let's go, Dad must be in a hurry." ”

Cheng Zhongqian was really impatient, his body was too dirty, he couldn't bear it, and when he saw them coming back, he immediately urged: "Go back quickly." ”

Along the way, Cheng Zhongqian was like a great enemy, for fear that the tragedy would happen again.

After arriving home, Cheng Zhongqian asked his son to boil hot water for himself, and couldn't wait to go back to the room to take off his dirty clothes.

The father was in the room, Erlang was in the kitchen, Cheng Yun took Lingbao's hand to her room, and asked in a low voice: "Lingbao, how do you know that it is turmeric, which can be sold for money?" ”

It can't be that the villagers told her.

Today, the village chief was with them all the time, and when he saw the contents of the sack, he didn't have any expression, obviously he didn't know that turmeric was a medicinal herb.

"The king told me." Lingbao said directly, and he didn't want to hide it from his big brother at all.

Cheng Yun pondered, last time the red snake Lingbao also said that the king told her, this time the turmeric is again, is it really not a coincidence?

However, what the king told her was more bizarre than a mistake.

The king is a cat!

Cheng Yun's eyes fell on the king, the little white cat leaned on Ling Bao's side, the fluffy tail swept around Ling Bao's hand, Ling Bao felt itchy, laughed haha, and pushed the king's stomach with his little hand.

Sensing his gaze, the king raised his head, his eyes clear and innocent, but there was a hint of human doubt.

Cheng Yun stared at it for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "You two play, I'll go see Dad." ”

Lingbao hurriedly said: "Big brother, Lingbao also wants to go." ”

Cheng Yun said: "Dad wants to bathe, you can go and see it later." ”

"Okay then."

After Cheng Yun left, the king jumped to the other side, thought for a while and said, "Lingbao, your eldest brother looked at me so strangely just now. ”

Lingbao tilted his head: "What's strange?" ”

"It felt like I'm going to be stripped naked." The king said uncertainly.

Ling Bao was surprised, held the king's leg, and looked up: "The king, it turns out that you are wearing clothes?" ”

The king was stunned for a moment: "Yes, I don't have any clothes, I only have Mao Mao!" ”

"I don't see you clothed either."

That should be its delusion.

The king was left behind in an instant, and he and Lingbao got into a mess, and the crisp laughter like a silver bell was full of childlike fun.
