Chapter 19: Invest in Yourself

The next day, Jiang Jin still went out.

What she told A-Niang was to send the copied books to the bookstore, and by the way, take a look at any of them.

Chengbei Street.

In the alleys of noon, people rest at home after eating.

Even the shops on the road are scattered open, and the originally lively streets and alleys will only be quieter at this time.

Jiang Jin walked down the street with Qingshan, and occasionally one or two napping people woke up instantly when they saw her, and they were busy watching their stalls.

She ignored the people and went straight to the distant study at the end of the street.

Pushing open the wooden door, there was a sound of "jingle bell", and the simple fragrance of books accompanied by warmth blew away the cold wind on Jiang Jin's body.

When the two of them entered the room, they saw the boss at the counter rubbing his eyes and standing up.

The boss instantly came to his senses after seeing the person coming, and a pair of slender eyes opened hard to show a flattering smile, "Why did Young Master Jin come in person this time?" ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, of course I miss you."

Jiang Jin replied indifferently, and went straight to the bookshelf, leaving Qingshan to make a deal with the boss.

At the front of the bookshelf is a large square table, on which there are various commentalist books on the Four Books and the Five Classics, as well as some articles written by students in previous years' middle school examinations.

This is the main purpose of her visit today, it is not enough to understand the annotations, she still needs to think a lot.

After the money and goods were cleared, the boss also noticed that Jiang Jin was reading a book, and he was suspicious.

Could it be that this little thug really wants to open as rumored?

He rubbed his hands and stepped forward and said tentatively, "The one you are holding is written by Wei Gongzi, who was promoted in the township examination the year before last, he studied in the Mountain Residence Academy, if you want to be admitted here, there is nothing wrong with taking this book." ”

Jiang Jin looked at the name on the cover of the book with some surprise.

Wei Youyao?

The name is somewhat familiar.

Jiang Jin frowned and couldn't remember this person, so he simply asked, "This son is still studying in the academy?" Do you know what his temperament is? ”

She originally wanted to ask which house it was, but then she thought it was inappropriate, so she changed her question.

"Yes!" The boss said that he showed some admiration, "Wei Gongzi has a gentle temperament, although he is the son of the prefect, he is humble and polite. ”

The boss was still talking about it, but Jiang Jin didn't want to listen to it anymore.

The prefect's son, humble and polite?

Jiang Jin shook her head, she still remembered that a few days before she fell into the water, because the prefect's son owed too much, she simply put a sack on her mouth and beat people.

She regretted the book in her hand for a while, so how could a person write such a coherent article.

The boss is also a discerning person, and seeing that Jiang Jin doesn't like to listen to it, he changed the topic, "Young Master Jin, do you want to buy a copy and take it home to read?" ”

Jiang Jin shook her head, she didn't plan to buy it home, this book was still quite expensive, so she could only write it down and study the transparency when she went home.

The boss didn't give up, "You are a regular customer, the small one will give you a 20% discount, and you will take away 40 yuan." ”

"Forty?"

"Yes, it usually sells for fifty yuan, but our relationship, the small one doesn't make you money!"

Jiang Jin was shocked not by the plucking of the iron rooster boss, but by the price of the book.

She can earn ten dollars for copying books on weekdays, and fifteen more.

For bookstore sales, the printed version will be tripled, and the hand-copied copy will be tripled.

Although movable type printing was invented in the previous dynasty, the printing effect is not as clear as that of hand-copied because clay and woodcut plates are used today, so the price is slightly cheaper.

And the exercise book in my hand, which is not as thin as half the thickness of other books, is still a printed version, and the original price is sold for fifty yuan.

This is a name for people, and it's really easy to use.

It's not that she didn't think that she would directly sell the copied book, but later considering the start-up cost and credit, the sales problem was stopped.

However, now Jiang Jin's idea has risen again.

If she also passed the exam, wouldn't the price of her books also rise?

It seems that the best investment is herself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jin even quickened the flipping of the exercise book, and after reading it, he politely refused the boss's kindness and left the academy with Qingshan.

The boss was left alone to look at the disappearing figure at the door, confused.

It is said that Young Master Jin's brain is broken, and it looks like it is indeed as rumored.

He put the book that Jiang Jin had turned back to its original position, this was his cash cow!

I have to find a way to find some more articles from Wei Gongzi.

Jiang Jin, who went out, did not go home directly.

She turned a corner and went straight into the casino.

"Young Master Jin, I haven't seen you for a while." The steward of the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks bowed with a flattering face, rubbing his thumb and forefinger with one hand, "What do you want to play today?" ”

"Don't play anything."

Jiang Jin raised his legs and went inside, and the whole casino was chaotic and mixed.

There is no work to do in winter, and people go to this place as soon as they are free.

"Don't." The steward's face wrinkled like a nest, and he still followed Jiang Jin closely, "The little one is looking forward to the stars and the moon, but I am looking forward to you, if you don't play, the little one will be sad." ”

"Ah, really?"

Jiang Jin smiled.

She eats meat, and drinks soup with the little steward, so the steward here is in a hurry to see her coming.

"yes." The steward clapped his hands excitedly, "Why don't you have a hand?" ”

"Nope." Jiang Jin took out a piece of broken silver and put it in his hand, "Give the young master a private room." ”

The steward saw that she really didn't plan to play, a little frustrated but didn't dare to offend too ruthlessly, and asked tentatively while leading the way, "Do you really want to be admitted to Shanju Academy?" ”

"It really can't be true."

The steward opened the door and invited Jiang Jin in, and just as he was about to raise his foot to follow up, Jiang Jin stopped, "Eh, let's send it here." ”

"Don't ......"

The steward's face was flattering, "Then you won't come in the future?" ”

"I guess it's going to be very rare, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Jin hugged his chest and was a little helpless.

The reason why she chose to come to the casino was to confuse Jiang Wei and Mama Gu, she really didn't want to play.

The entrance exam is coming, and she doesn't have the leisure to do so.

"Look...... "Steward's hands rubbed like flies," could you teach me how to play cards? ”

Jiang Jin grinned, "You bring a set of pen and ink, I'll tell you." ”

"Okay!"

When the butler's fart took the pen and ink and was about to enter the house, Aoyama took it directly.

Jiang Jin also did not hesitate to tell the steward the method, "2 out, 3 pairs, 4 behind, 5 surrender, 32 cards, 2 dice, you have to calculate the appearance of each point." ”

After she finished speaking, she slammed the door shut, isolating the steward.

The steward wanted to ask again, but when he thought of Qingshan's fierce face, he swallowed his saliva and turned around, and when he met the others, he impatiently sent people away.

What Jiang Jin said, he still couldn't understand it.

And Jiang Jin didn't think about what the steward would think.

She exhaled tiredly and leaned directly on the couch to rest.

Her posture is incompatible with the furnishings in the room, but the relaxed sitting posture is indescribably integrated with this place.

Aoyama, on the other hand, laid out the pen and ink on the table.

For an afternoon, Jiang Jin carefully wrote down the exercise books she was reading in the bookstore in front of this desk.

Stuffing things into her head like a date, she doesn't fully understand it yet, and needs to study it slowly.

When she finally finished writing, and between moving her neck, Aoyama put away the refreshments and put away the paper she was writing by the way.

Jiang Jin got up and took a sip of tea, and looked at the darkening sky outside, "There's still no movement over there?" ”

"No, I think there's something unusual about her being quiet."

"What you're saying is that Peach is steady, but her ambition is also the greatest, how can she not struggle?"

"Keep watching, I'm worried that something will happen on the day of the entrance exam."

Jiang Jinwu's heavy eyes revealed a cold air, and the hand rubbing the rim of the cup slowly tightened, "If I were her, I would break the net if I didn't die." ”
