4 Copying the book

Speaking of copying books, in addition to thanking himself in the previous life for seriously practicing calligraphy, Mo Ziyun also thanked Han Shuxian, the enlightenment teacher in this life, who taught him to read and write. Otherwise, even if he was a great calligrapher in his previous life, he would not be able to write suddenly in this life.

Of course, the most important thing is that with a teacher, not only can I read and write and become famous, but I also know that the world I live in now is a dynasty that has never existed in Chinese history.

Although it is not, it has some overlap with Chinese history, and the history before Qin has a relatively comprehensive record, which is also consistent with the history he learned in his previous life. It's just strange that there was an inflection point after Qin, and there was a bifurcation with the dynasties in the history he studied.

With the passage of time, the change of dynasties, and now thousands of years have passed, not only are they completely different from what they have learned in history, but even the names of places in the past have changed.

But no matter how the situation changes, if there is no war, famine, or natural disaster, the common people will recognize whoever is in charge of the sky on their heads, as long as they can live a stable and peaceful life.

From the Qin Dynasty to the present Dafeng Dynasty, it has been a thousand years later, if calculated according to time, the current Dafeng Dynasty is equivalent to the Ming and Qing dynasties in the previous life.

But the current Dafeng Dynasty is not as prosperous as the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Dafeng Dynasty was founded for more than 40 years, the founding time is not long, the treasury is not full enough, and the people's lives are not rich. The second emperor of the Later Dafeng Dynasty, that is, the emperor who is now in power, is a man with an iron and bloody hand, since taking office, he first pacified the vassal kings in various places, and then subdued the neighboring Wei State, which has been contradictory, and strengthened the Dafeng Dynasty at the same time, Dafeng's treasury is even more depleted.

But in addition to the poor point, but the Dafeng government and the opposition are united, and with the Wei State being collected, the war stopped, and the court tax declined, the people's life gradually improved, and the country became more stable, gradually showing a thriving scene.

Besides, Mo Ziyun also thought about the matter of copying books for a long time before she felt that it was feasible, this matter would not worry her family, and it was still a way to earn money with a high income.

After Song Nanzhi's words, Mo Ziyun said again: "When Uncle Han comes back, I will go to Uncle Han and ask him to give me the job of copying books, and I can copy books to earn money." Later, he didn't forget to praise himself, "Uncle Han said that my handwriting is very good, better than all the students in the college, and I will definitely be able to copy good books and earn money." ”

The two of them who thought she was playing were surprised a lot after listening to Mo Ziyun's words, their granddaughter has been very smart since she was a child, although she has never been to the school, but she also knows a lot of words, not only does she recognize a lot of words, but in their opinion, the words are also written in a good way.

The granddaughter wanted to make money, although Mo Tingyu was pleased, but she did not agree, and said: "Yunyun, you are still young, and the book is so thick and there are a lot of words, but it can't be copied in a while." In addition, what he didn't say was that his family couldn't afford to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and other things.

Mo Ziyun looked up at her grandfather's cheeks carved by wind and frost, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely be able to finish copying, I will definitely not give up halfway, but the paper used to copy the book this time, grandpa will help me buy it first." "Say two affirmations in a row to ensure that you will insist on copying it.

She also knew that asking her family to help her buy these first, it would undoubtedly add another unnecessary expense to the already poor family, but if she didn't buy it, she wouldn't be able to start her plan to make money.

If this family only relies on saving some rations to sell money to maintain the family, or relying on grandpa to find some mountain goods in the mountains from time to time to sell them to earn some money, it will not be able to get rid of poverty. Not only can I get rid of poverty, but even my grandmother's illness has to be delayed any longer, and I can't break the roots.

There is no money at home, Mo Tingyu hesitated how to refuse, the old woman has medicine all the year round, and he can't wait to break every penny in the family into two to use, if he agrees to buy paper, the old woman's medicine money is afraid that it will not be enough.

When Mo Tingyu hesitated, Song Nanzhi agreed in one breath, and said with a smile, "Buy it, buy it for my granddaughter." ”

After Song Nanzhi agreed, he turned his head to Mo Tingyu and said: "Over the years, we have never mentioned what we want, but today is a birthday gift from your grandfather." ”

"Besides, who in the village has our ability to read and write."

Mo Tingyu listened to Song Nanzhi's words, and sighed deeply in his heart, he didn't know, he just bought paper, "What can I do with this medicine money?" "Your medicine ......"

Before he finished speaking, Song Nanzhi took over, "I know my body very well, and I have taken a lot of medicine over the years, but I have never seen a good feeling in this body, I want to stop this medicine for a while, I take medicine every day and every year, and my mouth is bitter all year round." ”

Mo Tingyu was anxious when she heard her say that she wanted to stop the drug, "How can I stop the medicine?" After stopping the medicine, your body will not collapse! ”

Song Nanzhi said: "Stop for a while, let me rest, and if my health is not good in a few days, I will go to Dr. Liao to see a doctor and take medicine." ”

Mo Tingyu only relied on her in the end, "It's okay, if there is anything uncomfortable, you can tell us earlier." After speaking, he said to Mo Ziyun uneasily: "Yunyun, when grandpa is not at home, you look at your grandma more." ”

Alas! Mo Ziyun sighed again in her heart! When will this poor day be the end!

Earning money is important, but grandma's body is even more important. She didn't expect that the family couldn't even move the money to buy paper, and after listening to her grandmother's words, she had given up her plan to let her grandfather buy paper, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely take a good look at grandma." Finally, he added: "Grandma's money for medical treatment will be kept first, and grandpa will buy me paper back when he has money in the future." ”

Mo Tingyu stroked the top of Mo Ziyun's head, "Wan Wan! Then he said: "Go and play with your Chunlin brother!" "It's so good that he feels sad, other people's children don't quarrel all day long to be like this, to be like that. But his family has never asked for anything, and she saves some of the food that the Han family often gives her, and she saves it and takes it back to let the two old ones taste it.

Mo Tingyu thought about her granddaughter's well-behaved and sensible, and agreed with Song Nanzhi's words, and decided to satisfy her no matter what.

Mo Ziyun thought that it was okay now, so she got off the table and walked obediently to Han's house.

Lanwan Village, although it is only 30 miles away from Beijing, is not under the direct jurisdiction of Beijing, and is under the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu with another county town on the outskirts of Beijing, Lixian County.

Lanwan Village is under the jurisdiction of Cangxi County, and Lanwan Village is also close to Cangxi County, only three miles away, and they go to Cangxi County to buy everything they want to buy on weekdays.

Although it is not far from Beijing and the county seat, but this does not make Lanwan Village much better than the people of other states and counties, if ordinary people want to live a good life, in addition to the family with labor can go to the county or the capital to find some work to supplement the family, and then there is to serve good crops, and every day is to live a careful life, so that by the end of the year can there be a little surplus of food and money, but if there is a serious illness in the family, not to mention the surplus food and money, I am afraid that even the food can be dragged to eat enough, just like the Mo family.

After waiting for Mo Ziyun to leave, Mo Tingyu said again: "I don't know what paper to buy, when Shuxian comes back, I will ask him to buy some pen, ink and paper for Yun Yun." ”

Song Nanzhi responded with a smile: "Wan Wan, this child, a little baby knows how to earn money to support us, no matter whether she can copy this book or not, she has this heart, and I am very happy in my heart." ”

Mo Tingyu said: "Who said it wasn't! Every day, as soon as I get home, I run up to ask if I am tired, as soon as I sit down, I will beat my back and press my hands, if it wasn't for the lack of money at home, I would have bought her books, pen and ink back. ”

followed by a sentence, "Shuxian Ke said that we are very good at reading, and we can learn what we teach." ”

"The baby likes to read, otherwise she can't think of copying books to make money, this time even if I don't take medicine, I will buy this paper for her." Song Nanzhi said again.

"Buy, I'll take the time to go around the mountains tomorrow and see if I can find some mountain goods." Mo Tingyu said, Wan Wan asked for the paper he couldn't help but buy, but the money for this medicine couldn't be bad, and he still thought in his heart that he still owed the Han family two taels of silver and had to pay it back as soon as possible.

In addition to selling grain for some silver, Mo Tingyu also collects some mountain goods to sell in the county seat or the capital on weekdays, but since the death of his son and daughter-in-law one after another, Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi's bodies are not as good as before, Song Nanzhi is even more perennial medicine, although Mo Tingyu is better, but once he comes to the family's fields and crops need to be taken care of, there is not much time to be idle throughout the year, and a little leisure time, he only dares to walk around a few mountains.

Now my body is a little worse, and I am very tired not long after I go to the mountains, and I don't find many mountain goods, so my income is naturally a lot less.

Fortunately, the imperial court has been benevolent in recent years, and ordinary farmers will no longer be taxed when they sell some small things. But even so, the Mo family sold grain and mountain goods, as well as the money that Song Nanzhi had accumulated in exchange for eggs from raising chickens on weekdays, and it took four years to barely repay the money owed by his son and daughter-in-law to his neighbors after the accident, and now only the two taels of silver that he still owes to the Han family have not been repaid.

In the evening, after the three members of the Mo family had a simple dinner, Mo Tingyu went out to the Han family.

Han Shuxian teaches in the county, goes out early and returns late every day, and his wife Yu Silian takes care of the two babies at home, because Han Shuxian has an income every month, Yu Silian did not go to the field to farm at home, but only opened a vegetable garden in front of the yard, planting some vegetables to eat on weekdays, and other rice, flour, oil and grain are bought.

Mo Tingyu came to Han's house, and the Han family had already eaten. Seeing Mo Tingyu coming, Han Shuxian hurriedly beckoned, "Uncle Mo, come into the house and sit." ”

Yu Silian hugged her little daughter Han Qiulu and also greeted: "Uncle Mo, please come in!" ”

Han Chunlin, who was following the two of them, shouted, "Grandpa Mo, is Sister Wanyun here?" ”

Mo Tingyu first looked at Han Chunlin with a smile, "Your sister Wanyun is at home with your Grandma Song." Then he looked at Han Shuxian and Yu Silian and said, "I'm here to bother you." ”
