Female-to-male: I live on farming

From yesterday till now, the other party has always had a blank expression on her face, as if she was keeping people at a distance. Qin Ke had never looked at the other party carefully except when they met. As if to cover up the scar on her face, she let a strand of hair fall down from her forehead to deliberately hide her scar.

In fact, according to Qin Ke's idea, even if the other party was disfigured, he would still be more pleasing to the eye than many people.

"What are you looking at?"

It is impossible for anyone to be unaware of being stared at like this.

"I just deeply understand the charm of the phrase 'beauty is a feast to the eyes'." Qin Ke looked at her lazily with his chin propped up and couldn't help but make a joke.

Unexpectedly, Lu Youqing's expression changed and he glared at him: "Are you mocking me?"

"Ah!" Qin Ke was confused at first, but when he saw her turn her head away, as if to avoid his sight, he realized something. He coughed lightly and explained hurriedly, "I didn't mean that. What I meant was that everything below three inches is bones, and after a hundred years, it will all be dirt. And a person's beauty lies in the heart, not just the superficial appearance. And how do you know that you won't recover one day?"

Qin Ke blinked and saw that the other party didn't say anything. He wanted to ask if he was still angry.

But he saw the woman who had her back to him slowly turned around, and her slender fingers stirred the wontons in the bowl and continued eating. During the whole process, she did not look up at Qin Ke.

Somehow, even though the other party didn't say anything, Qin Ke read something cute, a little awkward, and a little arrogant from it.

Qin Ke didn't dare to say anything else, for fear that something she said might make Lu Youqing angry again. She had no choice but to continue turning her head to look at the pedestrians hurrying by on the street.

"Well, we only have a few hundred coins left at home. My idea is to buy some rice, flour, grain, oil and the like first. Other things can only be purchased slowly after we have more money. Do you have any objections?"

"You bought me. How should I do it? What to buy? It's all up to you. You don't need to ask for my opinion." After finishing his meal, Lu Youqing covered his face again with a calm tone.

Qin Ke, who had received a free and equal education since childhood, had no idea about the human trafficking in feudal society. In his opinion, he and Lu Youqing had equal status, and when two people lived together, they naturally needed to discuss everything.

This is what he thought, and naturally that is how he explained it to Lu Youqing.

Looking up at Qin Ke's face, which was full of purity and sincerity, Lu Youqing could see that he really thought so. She bit her lip and asked tentatively, "Are you telling the truth?"

"of course."

What Qin Ke took for granted was extremely rare in this era. Even though the Great Yan Dynasty had a female emperor, which greatly improved the living environment of women and allowed women to participate in the imperial examinations, the majority of the court was still controlled by men.

There were very few women who could receive education and read books. In aristocratic families, they were taught how to be a good mistress and how to manage the household, rather than learning the Four Books and Five Classics and the Six Arts of a Gentleman like their brothers.

If this is the case even for the nobles, what about the girls from poor families in the countryside?

Lu Youqing was skeptical about Qin Ke's words. It was difficult for her to trust someone easily, but it did not stop her from continuing to test Qin Ke's bottom line: "Then how are you going to make money next? You want to farm, and this money is not enough to buy seeds, right?"

"Hmm," Qin Ke rubbed the corner of his clothes a little embarrassedly, and answered the questions he could answer first: "The seeds are already available, there is no need to buy them. As for making money, I haven't figured it out yet."

The skills he had in his previous life were completely useless here.

Lu Youqing, who was originally walking side by side with Qin Ke, suddenly stopped.

As she was talking, the person beside her suddenly disappeared. Qin Ke looked back and found that she was standing in front of a bookstore. She quickly stepped back and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"No," Lu Youqing shook his head, "I want to try to take on some book copying work, so I can earn some money."

"Then let's go in and ask." Seeing that she was a little nervous, Qin Ke grabbed her wrist and pulled her in.

The bookstore was deserted at this time, with almost no one to be seen. Various books were neatly arranged on the shelves, and the owner was leaning listlessly behind the counter.

"Boss, can I copy a book here?"

The shop owner looked Qin Ke up and down. Seeing that he was dressed like a peasant and didn't look like a scholar at all, he said perfunctorily, "Yes, but we require neat handwriting here, which is not something that everyone can do."

"It's not me, it's... my wife." Qin Ke paused and looked at Lu Youqing nervously.

However, Lu Youqing obviously didn't mind Qin Ke's introduction to her. Her eyes were now on the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, and she seemed to be somewhat interested.

The shop owner followed her gaze and curled his lips, "Write a few words for me to see first."

Lu Youqing took a brush from the brush holder, then gathered her sleeves with her left hand and wrote in one go without any pause. The shop owner, who had not taken her seriously at first, became interested in her smooth movements and came forward to watch.

In just a few words, the strokes were powerful, continuous, delicate and graceful. Even if Qin Ke had no knowledge of calligraphy, she could tell that her calligraphy skills were very solid. She touched her chin silently. What should she do? She became even more curious about her past.

"Oh, this girl has great calligraphy. We have vernacular novels, scriptures, and poetry collections for you to choose from. I wonder which one you would like to copy?" The owner's face changed instantly and he smiled.

"The scriptures."

"Because this is the first time for the girl, the shop's rule is that you need to deposit five taels of silver before you can take the books and papers back."

Qin Ke was shocked. He knew from watching TV that books in ancient times were very expensive and ordinary people could not afford them at all. He didn't expect them to be so expensive.

"Forget it, let's go." Upon hearing this, Lu Youqing realized how careless she was. In the past, her home was full of books, so she ignored this problem. The reason was that she lacked common sense in life.

The owner felt a little sorry for her, so he took the initiative to lower the deposit to keep her. However, even if the deposit was reduced, Qin Ke could not afford it at the moment. It was Qin Ke who pulled people in, but it was Lu Youqing who pulled him out when they left.

It is true that a penny can make a hero fail. When buying rice, flour, grain and oil later, Qin Ke was in a bad mood and silently put the need to make money in the forefront.
