Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

"Thanks to Xiaoliu, I made more money today." Lin Guo said with a smile, and then, looking at the puzzled eyes of grandma and others, he did not forget to add,

"Today at noon, we ran into Xiaoliu on Qinghe Street, and then we went to Caoshi together."

After he finished speaking, he realized that Zhang was there too. He gritted his teeth and called out,

"Grandma."

Zhang nodded slightly, her eyes fell on Cheng Yuchu and the book in his hand, her eyes lit up.

I never expected that the down-and-out young man I met in the back mountain that day was actually a scholar and could afford to buy books?

Did she miss something?

When her children didn't study, she didn't think about how expensive books were.

But now, I can’t afford it at all.

"Lin Guo, what are you doing here, you unlucky star? Why did you bring him here too?"

Zhang looked down on Lin Guo from the bottom of her heart.

Without waiting for Lin Guo to say anything, Jiang Dani smiled and said to Lin Guo and waved at him.

"Lin Guo, you know how to order our Xiaoliu around. Come here and help us process the herbs."

She was not used to the way Zhang addressed Lin Guo.

Not only Jiang Dani and Jiang Yue, but all the Jiang family members couldn't stand it.

Lin Guo nodded, squatted down to help, and Zhang's attention shifted to Cheng Yuchu again.

I'm really envious of the book in his hand.

At the same time, Jiang Erni asked Cheng Yuchu,

"Are these books yours?"

"Yes, these are all given to Xiaoliu by me." Cheng Yuchu said as he handed the book to Jiang Erni.

Jiang Erni took it, flipped through it roughly, and handed it back to Jiang Yue when she couldn't understand it.

After hearing this... Zhang just casually gave... five books?

How much money does this cost? How regretful is she? Why did she just stand by and watch indifferently?

Jiang Yue took the book and looked at it carefully. In addition to the Three Thousand One Hundred, there was also a copy of the Analects of Confucius and a copy of the Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child.

"Brother Cheng, this is too expensive." She knew that a copy of the Three Character Classic alone would cost one or two taels of silver, and last time they could only afford to buy a handwritten copy.

"If you give all the books to Xiaoliu, how can you make money by copying books?" Lin Guo suggested, "Why don't you copy a copy for yourself first so that you can keep a copy, and then give it to Xiaoliu."

Lin Guo knew that Cheng Yuchu had a foreign debt of fifty taels of silver.

If he couldn't pay it back, he would have to be careful wherever he went, for fear of encountering officials looking for him.

After all, a case involving fifty taels of silver was enough to send him to jail.

"No need, I've memorized it all." Cheng Yuchu affirmed, "I have a copy of the Thousand Characters Essay, I'll give it to Xiaoliu tomorrow."

These were all copied casually when he was practicing calligraphy, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy today.

Of course, he had his own selfish motives in giving away handwritten books.

"You've memorized them all?" So confident? Jiang Erni picked up the Thousand Character Classic again and flipped through it. There were so many words, it would take her life to remember them all.

"Copying books?" Jiang Yue suddenly thought of an interesting scene that happened in the academy today.

For a down-and-out scholar, making money by copying books is a good idea.

And Zhang... this person not only sent a book, but also a handwritten copy? This is paper that can be exchanged for money.

She regretted more and more that she did not rescue the person and bring him home.

There was another person who shared her regret, Mrs. Li. She was listening quietly in the next yard, thinking in her heart how to implement her grandson's Thousand Character Essay.

Jiang Yue saw through Zhang's thoughts at a glance: "Brother Cheng, how is your handwriting?"

Cheng Yuchu: "Not bad."

After hearing this, Jiang Yue put the book in her hand on the window sill and then went back to get her pen.

She knew that new students were just beginning to recognize big characters, so they naturally had to write neatly.

The Three Character Classics they bought a few days ago,

Although the handwriting is okay, some of the connected strokes are difficult for new students to imitate.

Perhaps in order to make money as quickly as possible, some parts are a bit sloppy.

Jiang Erni understood the meaning behind Xiaoliu's words.

"Cheng Yuchu, since you want to make money by copying books, it's right to give it to Xiaoliu. Maybe you can even think of it as bringing in business for you."

Jiang Yue walked out of the house and said directly, "Brother Cheng, please write a few words to open our eyes."

Cheng Yuchu took the brush handed to him by Jiang Yue, dipped it in water, and wrote the three words "Cheng Yuchu" on the wooden table.

At this time, Zhao Xiaocang, because of his grandmother, ran into the Jiang family yard.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Cheng Yuchu's three-character name,

“I wish I could write as well as this.”

Jiang Yue looked at it and felt that it was like a needle drawing on sand, penetrating deeply into the wood.

But what she wrote was a little weak.

Thinking of the Thousand Characters essay that the teacher asked me to prepare,

"Brother Cheng has great handwriting. I will introduce you to some classmates and you can lend me all your books for free. How do you think?"

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Xiao Liu wants it, and Brother Cheng is happy to help. From now on, Xiao Liu can ask me if he has any questions about his studies."

Cheng Yuchu agreed wholeheartedly.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng." In this way, Jiang Yue can learn in advance without waiting for the teacher to explain.

Classical Chinese is boring, she is not comfortable with traditional Chinese characters, and Cheng Da Ge helps her solve the problems she does not understand.

And I just need to support his book copying business.

What a good thing, Jiang Yue felt that she had saved a noble person.

This scene made Zhang envious, and...

"Copying books. We in Xiaocang also want a copy." At this time, Li walked in with a smile. When she came, she also brought the Sophora flavescens that her Xiaohong had dug today.

Neighbors are separated by a wall, so naturally I can hear everything that is being said.

Since she had to buy the book, she came to take a look.

"How much does a copy of the Thousand Character Essay cost?" Li thought, this poor scholar could not be more expensive than the bookstore.

Cheng Yuchu really didn't expect that the book copying business would come to him so quickly.

"One hundred and eighty wen."

Normally, the price of copied books sent to bookstores was 180 wen, and the academy earned 20 wen.

"Okay, we'll have one for Xiaocang." Li agreed immediately, causing Zhao Xiaocang beside her to slightly raise the corner of his lips.

It’s twenty cents cheaper, enough for his family to eat meat twice.

Zhang asked Jiang Yue quietly, "Is his handwriting that good?"

Jiang Yue replied modestly: "Brother Cheng's calligraphy is far better than mine."

Zhang made a decision immediately:

"Our Xiaoyong wants two copies, one for the Three Character Classic and one for the Thousand Character Classic."

………………

When Jiang Yue went to the academy the next day, she brought the handwritten version of the Thousand Character Classic that Cheng Yuchu had given her that morning.

Before class, she asked the classmates who wanted to ask her for hand-copied books yesterday,

"Do you want to buy handwritten books? I have some. They are 20 cents cheaper than the bookstore."

When the classmates heard this, they asked, "Twenty cents?"

Twenty cents was a day's wages for the poor peasants.

When the students saw the font, they found it clear and pleasing to the eye.

Those who don't have books at home all said,

"I want one."

"I also want……"

Zhao Xiaocang and Lin Xiaoyong watched this scene.

I really didn't expect that Jiang Yue would be able to run his business in the academy.

Under their surprised gaze, Jiang Yue was already registering people's names.

Although, only Jiang Yue herself knew the registered name.

Cheng Yuchu got help and started to work hard, copying books all day long...

...In recent days, my third, fourth and fifth sisters have also been accompanying me every day, picking herbs in the fields together.

As for the eldest and second sisters, they followed grandma and were busy running around.

After today, the Jiang family’s ranch will begin to be implemented.
