He still has three taels in his hand.

Poor......

In order not to look too bizarre, he did not write numbers, but learned from the blacksmith to draw on paper, one or two, but it was a little troublesome to count.

Yan Junqi saw him scratching his ears and cheeks, and came over curiously: "This is money?" ”

Lu Xu: "That's right! This is owed to my third uncle, to my fourth uncle, and to the iron pot. ”

Yan Junqi: "Iron pot? ”

Lu Xu: "Iron pot!" You can fry it, you can fry it, you can fry it, and when I buy it back, I'll give you a taste of stir-frying. ”

Yan Junqi didn't know how to cook, he could barely cook something, he didn't know what stir-frying was, so he only nodded and said yes.

Speaking of the iron pot, Lu Xu couldn't help but think of what he heard in the blacksmith shop, and talked to Yan Junqi about it.

Yan Junqi asked: "Can the iron shop be equipped with farm tools?" ”

Lu Xu thought for a while: "Yes, hoes, rakes, axes, pickaxes, all of them." Kitchen knives and wood knives are also available. ”

Yan Junqi asked again: "Do you have an official registered for the iron pot?" ”

Lu Xu shook his head, "I paid a deposit." ”

Yan Junqi thought for a long time and said softly: "Maybe the battle is about to end." ”

Lu Xu's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? ”

Yan Junqi was a little embarrassed to be looked at by him so expectantly, and slowly analyzed with him, "I'm also speculating." Iron tools are heavy weapons, although the trade of iron tools in our dynasty is not as strict as in the previous dynasty, but since the war has been tight, there is a shortage of iron tools on the market, blacksmiths have no iron available, and most of the agricultural tools are only repaired and not sold. Unless it's ......"

Lu Xufu was heartfelt, "The battle is almost over, and there is no need for so many weapons!" ”

Yan Junqi nodded.

Lu Xu stared at Yan Junqi, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, he slapped his leg and praised: "Why didn't I think of it?!" Junqi, you are so smart! ”

Yan Junqi became more and more embarrassed.

Lu Xu muttered No wonder he couldn't understand what he learned, Yan Junqi could think of so much when he heard him, he didn't think of it when he saw it, Lu Xu looked at Yan Junqi again, how did he think Zhong Lingyuxiu was a talent.

He stared at Yan Junqi's head and said in awe: "Junqi, you have to study hard, you can't waste it." ”

Yan Junqi blushed, "Hmm." ”

Lu Xu: "By the way, how are you practicing calligraphy, I passed by the bookstore shopkeeper and asked me where I came." ”

Yan Junqi took out a few scrolls of paper manuscripts from the basket and gave them to him, "I have written seven fonts, please take them to the shopkeeper to see." ”

Lu Xu took it and looked at it, admiring it even more.

Yan Junqi is already good at writing, he practices calligraphy on the ground all the year round, and helps the family do farm work, he has energy in his hands, his writing is chic and smooth, and he writes smoothly, Lu Xu said that he copied the book, and he imitated the manuscript in the past few days to practice the official body and carved body, upright and square, neat and tidy, it really looks like carving, but it looks more comfortable than engraving.

Lu Xu was breathtaking, what is a scholar? That's what Xueba is.

Lu Xu boasted, "Junqi, I think you can make a living even if you sell calligraphy and paintings on the street." ”

Yan Junqi shook his head modestly and said sincerely: "I don't know how to paint." ”

Paint was too expensive, he couldn't afford it, and he never painted.

Lu Xu: "It doesn't matter, just practice." ”

He can also make stick figures, Yan Junqi must be able to!

Lu Xu's small abacus crackled: "When I have money to build a new house in the future, I will paint all the walls white, and I will paint them for you!" ”

Yan Junqi thought about it, and couldn't help but yearn for it, nodded and smiled: "Okay." ”

When the time comes, let Yan Junqi inscribe poems and paint murals for him, which is literary and elegant, high-end and high-end!

The two of them looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

Lu Xu thought about it very happily, and said: "If you think about it, tell me what books you want to read, and I'll borrow them from the bookstore, so that you can copy books and make money and read new books, killing two birds with one stone!" ”

Yan Junqi asked, "Can it be done?" ”

Lu Xu shook his words: "What's wrong with this?" ”

He had seen those hand-copied books in the bookstore, and the words were neat, but he had never seen anyone write better than Yan Junqi. He thought about it, Yan Junqi is so smart, and it is the time to work hard to prepare for the exam, he can't waste time copying scripts, in case he comes to high school, others will say, "When he was young, his family was poor and had to copy books to make a living" and "When he was young, copying books and selling them for money", it sounds different. How can the reputation of the copyist be as good as the copying of the sages?

Yan Junqi thought about it, copied the book he wanted to read on a slip of paper and handed it to Lu Xu.

This is all recommended by others when he took the children's exam, but he has no money and can't borrow it.

Lu Xu solemnly picked up the note, left the remaining sugar for Yan Junqi to eat, and no longer disturbed him to read.

He went to the yard to tease Lu Rui and Wenzhen to play, and when he saw that the mandarin ducks embroidered by Yan's mother were good-looking, he couldn't help asking: "Auntie, did you embroider the embroidery pieces or sell them to the town?" ”

Mother Yan was stunned, "Yes." ”

Lu Xu: "Anyway, I go to the county every day, why don't I go to the county embroidery village to sell and see?" The price in the county is higher than in the town. ”

Yuan Manniang thought about it, isn't it! "Shi Niang, you sell it to Xu'er?"

Yan's mother didn't know how Lu Xu sold snails in the county, she was afraid that he was setting up a stall, and she would trouble him to find an embroidery village, so she delayed coming back, so she asked, "Do you trouble you?" ”

Lu Xu: "What's the trouble then?" I have to walk around the street several times a day, and a few pieces of embroidery don't take up space. ”

Yan's mother was relieved, "As long as it is not less than eighty yuan, it will be sold, and I have saved some, I will show it to you." ”

Lu Xu: "Okay! ”

Yuan Manniang also packed a few pieces and gave them to Lu Xu.

Her embroidery is not as good as Yan's mother, she can only repair some small flowers and plants, and while she is happy for Yan's mother, she is also a little sad.

is also embroidery, sold in the town, Yan's mother's embroidery can be sold for eighty wen, and her embroidery can be sold for thirty wen.

The third grandmother next door rushed to the market to sell steamed buns, and I heard that the two baskets were not enough now, so they were all pushing the cart to sell, and they were cleaning up the house, preparing to open a steamed bun shop at home.

She couldn't even steam steamed steamed buns, so Lu Xu had to spend money to buy them next door. Cooking is not as delicious as Lu Xu.

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and at night she coaxed the child to sleep and secretly wiped her tears alone.

Lu Xu didn't notice that Yuan Manniang was wrong, seeing that she was not in a good mood in the morning, she thought that she was taking care of the children and taking care of the place these days, and she was tired from making shoes for him in the spare time. It's not easy.

Lu Xu thinks that he is different from the original Lu Xu, his family is prosperous, as the head of the family, he has to take care of every family member, and before going out, he pretended to be an adult and told Yuan Manniang, "If you are not feeling well, rest more, your body is important." ”

Yuan Manniang was puzzled, shocked, and even more sad - does the eldest son think that she is the most useless person in the family?

Lu Xu saw Yuan Manniang's eyes teary-eyed again, and sighed silently, his stepmother is really easy to move, so coaxing, she just loves to cry......

He didn't have a rut.

He goes.

He quietly called Lu Zhou over, "You are a big child, you have to take care of your sister and younger brother, you can't let your mother work too hard, do you know?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded solemnly.

Lu Xu was satisfied, "Come back and bring you candy to eat." ”

Lu Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, he was a big child, and he didn't eat candy anymore. But thinking that the sugar he brought back was mainly eaten by his brother and Layue, Lu Zhou swallowed his words back, "Brother come back earlier." ”

Lu Xu thought to himself, it depends on luck. After thinking about it, he didn't say much, and waved his hand with Lu Zhou to push his small cart and continue to cross the mountains.

The morning market was as usual, and the sales volume rose steadily and slightly, and Lu Xu closed the stall at noon and exchanged the snails and the fruit stall next door for a few apricots that were left over due to the bump.

He also wants to change peaches, but people don't do it.

Their peaches here are more expensive than apricot gold, one is sweet, the other is beautiful, and the meaning is good.

Apricots are cheap, not big, the pits are not small, and they look quite sour. But it's a fruit.

There are no wild fruits on the mountain anymore, and two days ago, Hanlu led a few sisters to look for a few berries on the hillside.

Lu Xu looked at the apricots and changed a few more.

If you can't do it, you can also cook jam, dry the preserved fruit, and sprinkle a little when cooking, but you can't waste it.

As usual, he sold snails at the door of the wine store for a noon, and Lu Xu left thirty copies for the shopkeeper and went to West Street with a cart.

There are not many customers in the bookstore, and the people who often come are regular customers, seeing Lu Xu, the shopkeeper opened his mouth first, "I won't come when you come." ”

Lu Xu parked the cart at the door, took Yan Junqi's seven words and handed them to the shopkeeper, "How can you not come?" My brother has prepared seven words, you can take a look. ”

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, so he took it and looked through them one by one, "It's all written by your brother?" ”

Lu Xu: "Yes! ”

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, pinched his beard and looked at it carefully, "The words are not bad, upright." ”

Lu Xu: "It's the most suitable way to copy books!" ”

The shopkeeper selected three, thought about it and put down one, leaving two of the most upright, one like an engraving, one is a hand-copied at a glance, and it is difficult to choose.

Lu Xu was not in a hurry, let him read it slowly, and he looked at the title of the book on the bookshelf, wanting to see if there was anything written on Yan Junqi's note.

He looked at it, and the child he had met last time had come again.

This time it was not only him, but also several children wearing similar scholarly robes.

"It's you again! Come buy books for your brother? The child is familiar with himself, and when he saw Lu Xu, he immediately came over, looked at the book he was reading, and immediately said: "This book is very boring, it's better to buy this school note." ”

When Lu Xu heard this, he opened the proofreading book he recommended again, and found that there were a lot of annotations written on it, and the annotations were also difficult to understand, but he could understand a little bit.

Lu Xu asked the guy, "How much is the annotation book?" ”

The guy said, "Four taels." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

He silently put it down again.

The guy was surprised and added: "Originally, it was only two taels." ”

Lu Xu slandered, two taels is not expensive?

Even at the current market price, two taels can buy 40 catties of polished rice, and one stone is more than coarse noodles.

"What are you looking at?" The children went to the shopkeeper again.

The shopkeeper smiled and handed them the two pieces of paper, "A few young masters help me take a look, which word is better to use for copying?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xu raised his feet and leaned over, found a place where he could see the words, and pricked up his ears and waited for praise.
