Chapter 54 Helping the Idle to Practice Calligraphy
Yang Jin had long paid attention to these people at the mouth of the alley, and when he walked to the street, he beckoned a thin-faced young man with a few patches on his clothes but washed cleanly:
"I just moved here, and I don't have the manpower to go to the East Market to buy things.
How much money will it cost you to help me go on a trip, and the purchase is complete? β
"Look at Childe, what are you going to buy?"
"Look at you dressed like a well-read person, are you literate?"
"Recognize a few."
"Then you come in with me!"
Yang Jin led the young man to the gatehouse, pointed to the four treasures of the study on the table in the gatehouse, and said:
"I said you remember, and you can look at it after you finish it.
Take a look, can you buy these things?
If you can, I'll help buy and deliver all these things.
Also, you can calculate the extra money you want to collect in a while, and I will give you the silver together! β
Although Yang Jin and Zhang Youfu have been reading for a few days, they have learned a lot of words.
But let him write now with a pen, that would still be a bit of a high opinion of him.
He can read now, but he can't write with a brush.
Because Yang Jin has the help of Hanyu Pinyin, he is now reading and reading very fast.
After seven or eight days, I knew almost fifteen or six hundred words.
If you really want to talk about it, the speed of this literacy can be said to be very fast, you must know that the general common words are about 4,000.
With Yang Jin's current literacy speed, he can recognize all the commonly used words in a month.
After that, in this world, at least he will not have a problem with basic reading and writing.
In other words, if you master the reading and writing of all commonly used words, you will have the primary school education level of this world.
It's pretty much the same compared to the average person in this world who knows how to read.
The reason why Yang Jin can recognize words so quickly is because the writing of the world is also hieroglyphics.
It is also divided into radicals, with the characteristics of shape and sound, which is very similar to the traditional Chinese characters in ancient China.
With Yang Jin's university level in his previous life, there is logic to follow to master, and learning is not so groundless.
Another is that Yang Jin has a cheating artifact, that is, the Chinese pinyin that elementary school students in their previous lives will know.
He now annotates every character he learns with Hanyu Pinyin and synonymous simplified Chinese characters.
As for the use of simple Chinese characters, he is not afraid of being doubted now.
Because everyone may have their own way of blocking his literacy, it is not surprising that he learns in this way.
With the assistance of Hanyu Pinyin and Simplified Chinese characters, this allows him to almost have a Chinese character version of the martial arts world text dictionary.
Yang Jin also admires his own life and learning, Xin is always very complacent, he Yang is really a little clever ghost!
Although Yang Jin is literate, he can't write a single word.
In the era of his previous life, he rarely wrote hard pen writing, and he was all computer typing and office.
Not to mention the highly professional soft pen characters such as brush characters, which few people can write except for those who have been specially practiced.
The young man seems to have read a lot, not only the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing with a brush in one hand, but also the strength of the firmament.
And he can also open the bow left and right, with two hands and one hand, he has been writing what Yang Jin said on the paper with a brush in one hand.
It took a long time to write a stick of incense, and the young man finished writing all the things Yang Jin said, writing a total of six pieces of paper.
He handed three of them to Yang Jin and said, "Childe, I have written all the things you want to buy and purchase on this, and you can keep these three for safe."
I took these three to buy things and waited for them to be delivered.
Let's reconcile the accounts, what do you think? β
Young people are very careful and thoughtful.
However, he seemed to think of something difficult, and said with some embarrassment:
"Childe, you have a lot to buy.
It's not early today, and if I have to buy it today and send it back, I'm afraid I won't be able to run alone.
I still have to call someone to go with me before it's too late, and the foot money is a total of one hundred and twenty dollars. β
The young man glanced at Yang Jin, and was a little worried that he shouted high for his foot money.
"These things are going to be bought, we have to run several places, and you are in a hurry to use them!"
"Okay, just do as you say!
I'm in a hurry to use things, and it's okay to be more expensive, as long as you keep the accounts!
You go and buy it for me first, and then I'll give you the money when I come back." β
Yang Jin handed a silver ingot weighing ten taels to the young man.
Cheng Yang, Dai Bin, Jiang Feng and the three of them continued to clean the courtyard inside.
Cheng Qing was a frail woman and couldn't do heavy work, so Yang Jin asked her to serve by her side.
This is what he plans to train himself, and he will be a candidate for assistant secretary in the future.
Cheng Qing couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw Yang Jin standing in front of the gatehouse, so rashly handing over a ten-tael silver ingot to a stranger to buy something.
When the idle young man went out on the front foot, he couldn't help but come over and remind Yang Jin in a low voice:
"Childe, don't you believe in this person too much!
Why aren't you worried that he won't come back after taking the money?
Besides, he was not asked to write a note to take the money, what if he took the money and did not admit it?
He may not be able to earn that much money in half a year!
These idlers are also there in the west of the city.
Usually earn some money for running feet, but sometimes he is bold and does stealing and robbing, which is no different from bandits and robbers.
Most of them are gangs, and we don't even have his identity address.
He just turned around and gave away our money, and we had nowhere to go to him.
Even if he finds him in the future, he insists that we haven't given him money, so we can't do anything to him? β
Yang Jin glanced at Cheng Qing with some surprise, he didn't expect this teenage girl to be so thoughtful.
Although he had a plan in his heart, he still pretended to be very innocent in a serious manner.
I heard him say: "The so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and the employment is not suspicious!"
Just because the other party is a stranger we meet for the first time, we naturally can't be suspicious casually. β
Yang Jin said it beautifully, but he thought to himself: "What I'm waiting for is that he won't come back after squinting the money!"
Dare to squint at someone's silver, it depends on whether you can bear someone's next means! β
Cheng Qing was a little speechless, thinking that Yang Jin really walked shit and became a person who caught the gods, if it is really easy to change, his nature is difficult to change!
He was timid and cowardly when he was called Hanako, and every time he got into a group fight, he was the slowest and the fastest, and he was bullied.
Now that they have become gods and people, I didn't expect to be so cowardly and naΓ―ve, it is really easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change!
But then he thought about it, "Yang Jin dared to let a stranger take the silver and leave, could it be that he relied on the signboard of the Divine Capture Gate?"
It's just that I didn't see him just now, so I took out the waist card of the Divine Capture Gate and showed it to the young man?
However, even if you use the signboard of the god to scare people, you have to find that person!
Cheng Qing saw that Yang Jin looked like he was holding a pen and was about to practice calligraphy, so he retreated a little angrily and ran to the main room in the backyard.
Seeing Cheng Yang and Dai Bin, they were still cleaning and tidying up the yard.
She knew that Dai Bin had always been clever and intelligent, so she told him what had just happened.
Cheng Qing said with some worry: "Son, why doesn't he understand the mind of guarding against people at all?"
Even if he becomes a god catcher, he has a fortune to take.
But there are so many of us, and these several mouths, all the costs are not small.
It's too late to live this budget-conscious life, why are you so careless to deceive others! β
When Dai Bin heard this, he knew what Cheng Qing meant by telling him about this, so he put down the work in his hand.
"You guys do it first, I'll go to the front to find Childe and see what the situation is."
Dai Bin came to the gatehouse in the front yard and saw Yang Jin squatting on a horse, cantilevered to practice calligraphy.
He walked over and asked Yang Jin in a low voice: "Childe, Cheng Qing is a little worried that person is unreliable, do you want me to go out and follow behind?"
I'm very familiar with people's affairs, and I won't be found out by him. β
"No, we are not familiar with life and death in Dongcheng, so it is not appropriate to cause more trouble!
Besides, you are not dressed as a beggar and following others.
Walking in the crowd will be particularly obvious, it is not easy to hide, or wait for him to be greedy for silver! β
Yang Jin stopped the pen in his hand, let out a long breath, and said with a smile.
Dai Bin was not in a hurry at all when he saw Yang Jin's appearance, but he was looking forward to the appearance that others would not come back after taking the silver, and he was very puzzled.
But he has always been clever and discerning, so he naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask.
He had heard the servants of large families talk about the rules of the mansions of wealthy families.
That is, you should know what the host wants you to know, and ask less about what you shouldn't know, and it is a blessing or a curse to know more.
He still knows too little about his new master, Yang Jin, now, and everything is better to follow orders.
Dai Bin saw that Yang Jin didn't have anything important to tell at the moment, so he wanted to retire and continue to clean the room.
This house is really too big, and the few of them have just cleaned out the yard where Yang Jin wants to live in the past half a day.
But seeing that Yang Jin was now covered in sweat, and his face was still a little red, he hurriedly wrung a wet towel and handed it to Yang Jin to wipe his sweat.
He felt a little strange in his heart, "Why does it take so much effort to practice calligraphy?"
It's just a few words written on a piece of paper, why do you sweat so much? β
Yang Jin took the wet towel handed over by Dai Bin, a little satisfied.
"This Dai Bin is really very discerning, and he understands proportions very well, and he is thorough at one point, which is worth focusing on.
Your plan needs a few capable tool people to execute, and Dai Bin is very good! β
Yang Jin wiped it on his face with a towel and felt a lot more comfortable.
It's just that the original snow-white towel, when he wiped it on his face, it was black and dirty.
Yang Jin washed the towel in his hand in the basin without moving.
Then he said to Dai Bin: "Dai Bin, I'm going to go back to Shenzhumen later."
If the four of you are fine, don't go out easily, and I'll bring you a few back for dinner.
However, after tomorrow when you have finished your meals, you will have to make your own meals.
Maybe I'll be back later tonight, don't worry!
If you leave him here to wait for me after he comes back from shopping, say I have something to tell him.
Okay, I'm leaving, you go and go about your business!
Remember what I said! β
"Yes, Childe!"
After Yang Jin finished speaking, seeing Dai Bin nodding in understanding, he picked up the burden around him and walked out.
