Mo Ziyun didn't know that Han Shuxian went to the bookstore again for her, since she was called by Song Nanzhi to get up, after breakfast, she took the book she got back from the 'Moyun Bookstore' to Han's house, what she wanted to see today was the book she got back from the bookstore to be copied, the book is the "Analects" in the four books, and it is also the book she is learning with Han Shuxian now, but the book she got back, there are a lot of annotations in the book, which is why this book is copied. The Analects can be bought in bookstores, but the annotations in books are not.

Mo Ziyun looked at the book in her hand seriously, and while looking at the book, she was also thinking about how to copy it so that the book would not look messy.

Although there are annotations in the book, which can make the reader understand the meaning of the book very well, because there are too many annotations, and they are casually annotated, they are not messy, and there is still some crowding between the words. There are also books that have been stored a little old, and not to mention that they are not too well preserved, and the ink has been smeared in some places, and overall, it is very tiring to the eyes.

It seems that after half an hour, he began to copy the book, and first put the first sentence 'Zi said: Learn and learn it, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen?' Copied it down. After copying, he put down his pen first, read the annotations in the book, and then looked at the paper on which his subordinates had finished copying the first Analects.

After thinking about it for a while, I picked up my pen and prepared to copy the approval according to the method of annotating at the end of the modern article. Prepare to copy the words or phrases that are annotated in the original text to the end of the text, and then add annotations after the words or phrases.

Of course, if there is a separate annotation for the whole sentence in the book, just like the words and words, first copy the whole sentence, and then annotate, in short, the original text and the annotation must be copied separately.

Half an hour later, Mo Ziyun finished copying the first part of the opening chapter. After copying it, he first showed it to Han Chunlin beside him.

Han Chunlin took the book copied by Mo Ziyun and said, "Can you make money in this way?" ”

Mo Ziyun didn't answer directly, but said: "I don't know, when Uncle Han comes back, I will first ask Uncle Yu if he can copy it like this?" If I could, I would continue to copy like this. ”

Han Chunlin glanced at the black "Analects" written on the table, and compared the neat and incomparably clear words in his hand, and affirmed: "Sure, what you wrote is clearer than what is written in this book." Later, he pointed to the "Analects" on the table and said, "This book is too messy, I don't want to read it." ”

Mo Ziyun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and even the children felt that they could copy it more clearly and understandably, and the adults would definitely not feel bad after reading it. It seems that the way I arranged the transcription in this way would work. Turned his head and looked at Han Chunlin's writing today, today's writing is a lot neater, although it is a little neater, but it is still far from good, and it still needs to be practiced, and said: "Uncle Xie from the bookstore has agreed to let us copy the book, as long as we copy the book, we can earn money." ”

Han Chunlin looked at the book on the table, and the idea of making money disappeared in an instant, and said, "It's so thick, how long does it take to copy this?" ”

The Han family is not as poor as her family, so she can't take the pot quickly, so letting him copy it together is just to let him practice more words, and said: "We are also practicing calligraphy every Japan, and if the words are not written well, we will be punished for writing more. ”

Han Chunlin listened to Mo Ziyun's words, and thought about it, every Japanese is practicing calligraphy, in short, it is all writing, if you copy books, you can still earn money, as for your own handwriting? Can you keep up with the progress of Mo Ziyun's copying? Can you stick to the end? He didn't think much about this, and he couldn't think of it, he just thought that he had to write anyway, so he copied the book, and responded cheerfully: "Okay! ”

Seeing that he promised happily, Mo Ziyun was also happy in her heart, and immediately said: "Then let's go and tell my aunt now, and let my aunt help you cut the paper." Her paper was cut by Song Nanzhi for help, and it was cut according to the size of the Analects book she got back.

Han Chunlin responded as cheerfully, "Okay." ”

After responding, the two ran to Yu Silian hand in hand, waiting for Han Chunlin to announce to Yu Silian with an excited face that he was going to copy books to make money, and her mother was shocked!

looked at his stupid son in surprise, where did he find the courage to fight? However, after looking at Mo Ziyun's eyes, he still said with a look of relief: "Okay, I'll cut out the paper for you, and when your father comes back and tells you how to copy it, you can start copying." ”

Mo Ziyun looked at Yu Silian happy, and silently said to Han Chunlin in her heart: I also want you to have a relaxed childhood, but in order to make your uncle and aunt happy, you can only work hard! From now on, I will urge you to copy as many books as you can.

When it was evening, after Han Shuxian heard that his stupid son was going to copy the book, he could only smile knowingly, and looked at Han Chunlin with an amiable face, "Okay, when the time comes, you can keep the money you earn from copying books, and you can use it however you want, and your mother and I don't care about you." "Of course you don't have to worry about it, because you can't earn this money, so how can you take care of it?

After deciding that Han Chunlin copied the book, Mo Ziyun showed the first Analect he copied to Han Shuxian.

Han Shuxian looked at it and said: "Just copy it according to you, if you can't sell it in this way, you can only say that the person who sells the book is a pig!" ”

With Han Shuxian's affirmation, Mo Ziyun also increased her confidence, and responded crisply: "Okay." ”

After affirming the book copied by Mo Ziyun, he said: "After you finish copying one, I will give it to Brother Chunlin, and let her copy it with you." ”

"Okay." Mo Ziyun replied crisply again.

Next, in addition to reading with Han Shuxian every day, Mo Ziyun basically copied books in the house in his spare time, and in this house, either in his own house or in the Han family's study, in short, copying books has taken up most of Mo Ziyun's time.

Mo Ziyun copied the book for a longer time, and Han Chunlin also wrote a lot more words, at this time, he no longer had the cheerfulness and vigor he promised before, and now he doesn't say that he has a sad face every day, but he no longer has the interest of copying books to make money, and the reason why he continues to copy books now is because if he doesn't copy books, he has to write the same number of words.

Twenty-one days later, Mo Ziyun finally finished copying the Analects that she had returned, and the new book was much thicker than the old one, thanks of course, thanks to the separate placement of the annotations and the addition of paper.

On the day he went to the county seat to return the book, Han Shuxian took Mo Ziyun and Han Chunlin with him. Of course, Han Chunlin's book was not copied after all, not only was it not finished, but half of it was still a little short.

When the three of them came to the bookstore, Xie Wenhua was not in the front store.

After Xiao Er, who was guarding the bookstore, explained his intention to Han Shuxian, the shopkeeper replied: "Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to come over." Although Xie Wenhua was not in the front store, he also explained that as long as Mo Ziyun came to return the book, he would let people inform him, not that he said in front of Mo Ziyun before, just give the book to the little second brother.

After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and went into the backyard, Xie Wenhua is mostly in the bookstore on weekdays, but not much in the front shop, but mostly in the backyard.

'Moyun Bookstore' has been open for two years now, although the books sold in the store are quite complete, but there is no feature, like most bookstores, the source of books is provided by the imperial court's bookstore, if you want to sell some books that are not available in the world, you can only rely on copying, but copying is very slow. So in the backyard, he found someone to engrave, but the engraving effect was not good, and the engraving took longer than the time it took to copy the book, until now, he has not come up with a better way to solve the problem of engraving.

Xiao Er walked out soon after entering the backyard, and Xie Wenhua came out at the same time. After Xie Wenhua came out, he greeted Han Shuxian and said, "Brother Han! ”

Mo Ziyun, Han Chunlin also shouted when he saw Xie Wenhua coming out: "Uncle Xie is good!" ”

Xie Wenhua looked at the two little babies and responded, "Okay!" Then he asked, "Why didn't you come to my bookstore by yourself this time?" ”

Mo Ziyun looked at Xie Wenhua, secretly thinking that he really didn't open any pot, but he replied obediently: "Uncle is free today, so he came with us." After speaking, he said, "Uncle Xie, I have finished copying the book you gave me." ”

Han Shuxian opened the cloth bag he was holding when Mo Ziyun was speaking, and it contained a yellowed book, and the other was a book that had just been bound, the yellowed book was the "Analects" that Mo Ziyun took back to copy in this bookstore, and the newly bound was the "New Analects" that had just been copied.

Xie Wenhua took the two books handed over by Han Shuxian, put the old books on the counter casually, picked up the manuscript and opened it, and as he opened it, he was instantly attracted by the content inside. First of all, the page is neat, the font is a neat and neat regular script, which is not the point, the most important thing is the layout of the page, the front end of the page is the sentence of the Analects, and the position of the sentence is two lines under the sentence Cai's annotation. All the annotations are screwed out separately, preceded by words, words, and sentences, followed by annotations, whether it is a word, a word, and a long sentence, all in a line, neatly arranged at the back.

Xie Wenhua looked at Han Shuxian and said, "You gave a good idea!" The book copied out in this way is not only clear and clear, but also looks neat and tidy. ”

Han Shuxian glanced at Mo Ziyun before he said slowly: "I don't have this leisure, it's because when I copy it, I think that this kind of copying makes people not tired of their eyes when they look at it, and they can see it more clearly, but they just write a lot more words." ”

Xie Wenhua looked at Mo Ziyun after Han Shuxian's words and praised "Wan Yun not only writes well, does a good job in learning, but also has a delicate mind." After complimenting, he said: "Don't worry, if you copy more books, Uncle will definitely not let you suffer." After speaking, he untied the purse hanging beside him, took out a small silver ingot of two taels of silver from it, handed it to Mo Ziyun and said, "Here, this is the money you copied the book." ”

Mo Ziyun looked at the silver handed over by Xie Wenhua, and didn't know how much it was, but because he said that he wouldn't treat himself badly, he didn't ask, and only said: "Uncle Xie sent me a lot of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone last time, and this time I asked Uncle Xie to deduct it from the money for copying books." ”

Xie Wenhua was slightly surprised! This kid is really lovely! said: "Aren't you worried that I will detain you?" "From the time she came to find a copy of the book to the present, she didn't ask how much it cost to copy a book?

Mo Ziyun shook her head and said: "Don't worry, it should be deducted, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone also have to be bought for money." ”
