My eunuch An is a yandere

"Sir, this is our studio."

Chen Xu brought Bai Liangchuan to the second floor of the bookstore. It was also a large open room with more than a dozen tables. Almost every table had someone sitting at it, busy writing something.

"What are they writing about?"

Bai Liangchuan saw this scene for the first time and couldn't help but ask curiously.

“They’re compiling a dictionary of sticky characters.”

As he spoke, Chen Xu picked up a piece of written content and showed it to him.

"This was the Empress' idea. She said that writing is a kind of magic, and if ordinary people could learn to read, the world would be a different place."

"I don't know what magic the Empress is talking about, and I can't imagine what the world will become. But simplified Chinese characters really do have magic. They are easier to remember than the characters we usually use, suitable for more people to learn, but they don't affect the use of orthodox characters."

Bai Liangchuan took the page of paper and saw a simplified Chinese character "乌" written on it. It indeed had many fewer strokes than the usual way of writing.

There are not only characters, but also word formation and sentence construction.

After reading the biography of Bai Liang, he felt heartbroken. Since this was his sister's idea, why didn't she come up with this good thing a few years ago?

No, why couldn't she have been born a few years earlier and become the older sister?

Now he has practiced all the characters he should practice and copied all the articles he should copy as punishment. If he is told now that children who don't want to take the imperial examination can learn simplified Chinese characters, then all his years of hard work will be in vain.

He still can't forget the despair he felt when he was punished to copy.

There are twelve strokes between two dragons, and one hundred times that is one thousand two hundred strokes.

Thinking about the extra strokes he had written, Bai Liangchuan felt that he had suffered a great loss and was heartbroken. Who could understand his pain?

Chen Xu looked at Bai Liangchuan's sudden listlessness in surprise and continued.

"The dictionary is almost finished. In order to promote simplified Chinese characters, the Queen came up with the idea of ​​a newspaper. Now we need to make a prototype of the newspaper."

"It's also the eldest son who caught up. From now on, come to the bookstore on time every day and find a job that suits you."

"As long as you do a good job, the salary will not be less."

Chen Xu spoke smoothly and started to mention the recruitment tactics he used.

Bai Liangchuan didn't find it strange and just nodded in agreement.

Chen Xu quickly arranged a 966-level reward for him. When Bai Liangchuan recovered from his depression, he thought it was nice to have something to do, and it paid off. He regained his strength and followed Chen Xu, listening and studying attentively. He completely forgot that he was the owner of the bookstore.

On Baishan's side, looking at the large number of maids and furniture waiting outside the mansion, and putting the furniture in place one by one under Anjiu's coordination at an extremely fast speed, his admiration for Anjiu reached a peak.

As expected, he is sent by Concubine De. He is so capable.

At the same time, I also felt uneasy.

Such a powerful eunuch, if he wanted to reward him, how much silver would he have to give? He couldn't afford to lose face for his son.

Perhaps An Jiu noticed Bai Shan's dilemma, and after everything was settled, he put his index and middle fingers together and hooked them at him.

"Does Eunuch An have anything to say?"

Bai Shan became respectful unconsciously.

"Did your eldest son eat up all the silver I brought with me on the way out?"

Bai Shan's expression was as if to say, "How did you know that?" An Jiu chuckled. This Bai Liangchuan was a fool, and the servant his father had chosen for him wasn't much smarter either.

"Keep this bag of money. I only give it once a month. You can starve after the work is done. If you don't understand something, ask the housekeeper. He can trust you."

"Thank you, Eunuch An, for your advice."

Bai Shan thought this was all arranged by Bai Ningwei, so he thanked An Jiu and took the money bag. When he looked up again, Eunuch An had already walked away.

After the Earl's Mansion was settled, the kitchen staff immediately took up their posts. Anjiu had made meticulous arrangements, even preparing the rice, flour, meat, and vegetables for the next few days. Not to mention the cooks, knowing that Bai Liangchuan was a delicious food, they hired one from the south, one from the north, and a dim sum chef, for a total of three.

Bai Shan smelled the fragrance of the food and turned around to go to the bookstore to find the eldest master.

It was already dark at this time, and lights in thousands of houses were lit one after another.

When Bai Shan arrived, his eldest son had already been happily working at his workstation for a while, while the people at other workstations had already left.

"Master, we should go back."

Bai Liangchuan was surprised to realize how much time had passed. This was his first time to have a serious job, so everything was new to him. Plus, since this was his own shop, he worked extra hard and didn't feel tired at all.

Only when he heard Baishan calling him did he stand up and stretch.

At the same time, I saw Chen Xu carrying a pottery jar and walking towards a small room.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing with a clay pot?"

Chen Xu raised the pottery jar a little higher so that the curious baby could see it more clearly, and then said.

"Cook something to eat. Are you going back? Be careful on the road."

"You're cooking here? Aren't you going home?"

Curious Baby Thousand Questions.

"I eat and live in the bookstore."

Chen Xu patiently answered the questions, hoping that the other party's curiosity would be satisfied and he would leave as soon as possible.

The bookstore is hers alone at night, and only at this time can she relax and be Chen Xinxin again.

"You live here? Alone? This is so unsafe."

Bai Liangchuan frowned and shook his head in disapproval.

Chen Xu felt that his patience was rapidly decreasing.

"The store has a cooperative relationship with Yanwuwei, so it's very safe here."

The bookshop was responsible for all the expenses of the Yanwu Guards, so the business was quite close. Unless they thought they had lived too long, no one would be so foolish as to come here and make a presence known.

"No, no. And your food is too simple."

Bai Liangchuan looked at Chen Xu's pottery jar and shook his head in disapproval again.

"Well, you can live in my house. Our Earl's Mansion has five courtyards, and it's quite empty with just me living there. Just think of it as keeping me company."

As he said that, Bai Liangchuan took away Chen Xu's pottery jar, and with his other hand, he grabbed her wrist and was about to go downstairs.

"Hey, Master, this won't do."

Even though he is a man now, he cannot live in someone else's house.

"What's wrong with that? Don't be embarrassed. We are all brothers. We should take care of each other."

The two of them pulled each other out. Chen Xu, a sixteen-year-old girl, was no match for the strength of an adult man, and was dragged down the stairs without any resistance.

She was so angry that she couldn't hold it in any longer and growled.

"Young Master, don't go too far."

Bai Liangchuan was stunned by the yelling and didn't understand where he had gone too far.

"Did I hurt you?"

Bai Liangchuan let go of his hand apologetically, but couldn't help but continue to persuade.

"You're a little too thin. Really, come live in my house. I won't charge you rent, and I'll provide you with three meals a day. I heard Brother An hired three chefs for my house, so the food must be super delicious."

"Besides, only when people are well fed and full can they have the strength to work."

Although Bai Liangchuan is only twenty-one, he has a baby face that does not show his age. Although he is tall, he exudes a clear and innocent feeling.

Facing such a face, seeing his somewhat pitiful expression, and listening to his heartfelt words, Chen Xu felt that his refusal seemed somewhat ungrateful.
