After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Bookstore.

As soon as Xie Boyuan entered, the shopkeeper came out from behind the counter to greet him: "Xie Tongsheng, you're here. Come in, come in."

Xie Boyuan was flattered, but also a little confused.

He got straight to the point: "Boss, what's the important matter you want to talk to me about?"

"hehe."

The shopkeeper's smile deepened: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Xie, this is a good thing."

Xie Boyuan listened attentively.

The shopkeeper narrated, "It all started with the book you copied last time. You used the Slender Gold font for that book. Do you remember it?"

Xie Boyuan nodded and asked, "Could it be that this font cannot be used?"

At that time, he was obsessed with practicing the Song of Gold style of calligraphy, so he unconsciously used this font when copying books.

The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand: "No."

"This type of calligraphy is elegant and noble. Few people can write it, and even if they can, they can't practice it to such perfection. Xie Tongsheng can copy books in the Slender Gold style, which actually means our bookstore is taking advantage of it."

Things are rare.

Books written in the Slender Gold style are naturally more expensive than ordinary books.

of course.

He just doesn't want to sell it.

Hear the words.

Xie Boyuan breathed a sigh of relief: It would be fine if he was not asked to return the money.

The bookstore owner continued, "I was so delighted to see your Slender Gold Style that I didn't put it in the store, but kept it for my own enjoyment."

"Yesterday, the young master of the bookstore came to inspect the store and happened to see this book. He was very happy and asked me to ask you to copy an ancient book in the Slender Gold style."

Xie Boyuan was surprised: "Ancient books?"

"Yes."

At this point, the bookstore owner nodded, then took out a satin package from under the counter, opened it layer by layer, revealing a tattered book.

He carefully picked it up and handed it to Xie Boyuan: "Xie Tongsheng, this is the book. Can you copy it again based on the handwriting?"

"Let me see."

Xie Boyuan did not agree immediately.

"Ok."

He took it and opened it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and said to the shopkeeper, "You can give it a try."

"Great."

"I will provide all the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones for Xie Tongsheng's copying this time. If the boss is satisfied, I can give you five taels of silver as a reward. What do you think?"

Five taels?

Xie Boyuan's eyes suddenly lit up: after working so hard for a month and a half, he had only earned four taels of silver. Now, by copying an ancient book, he could earn five taels of silver. Wuliang Tianzun, is this a piece of cake?!

Fearing that the shopkeeper would regret it, he nodded quickly: "Okay, deal."

"Row."

The shopkeeper was also very happy: "Xie Tongsheng, how long will it take you?"

Xie Boyuan pondered for a moment and replied, "About five days."

Although it could be earlier.

However, in order to make the five taels of silver seem more worthwhile, he deliberately extended the deadline.

There is no more.

Because, in five days, he will set off for the provincial capital.

opposite.

Five days?

The shopkeeper was surprised and delighted: "Okay, just five days. Thank you for your hard work, Tongsheng."

On the fifth day, the East should be able to catch up...

The deal was made verbally.

Xie Boyuan left with a smile, carrying the ancient books and a set of fine writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. The bookshop owner stood at the door and watched him leave.

Both parties are very satisfied.

These ones.

Full authority fell into Xie Linghe's eyes.

She couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is quite lucky~"

She was just about to take a nap.

The system suddenly spoke, and she thought Xie Boyuan was up to something again, but unexpectedly, he had made a fortune.

"Humph~"

Xie Linghe disconnected the call and hummed proudly, "Half of the credit belongs to me. If I hadn't been so smart as to have him learn the Slender Gold Style, would we have this big business now?"

System: "Host, you are too modest. Ninety-nine percent of the credit should belong to you."

Xie Linghe beamed, "Hahaha, System, I love what you're saying."

The system continued, "Host, Xie Boyuan will be taking the college entrance examination soon. This system recommends that he suspend his training in the Slender Gold Style and strengthen his training in the Imperial Court Style."

Xie Linghe was confused: "Guan Ge style?"

System explanation: "Guan Ge style is a type of regular script. In the imperial examination, it is required to use Guan Ge style."

"And also specify the font?"

Xie Linghe suddenly realized, then gasped in amazement: "Luckily you reminded me. Okay, stop practicing Slender Gold Style and tackle the Imperial Court Style first."

System: "Yes, host."

Xie Linghe: "Anything else?"

System: “No.”

Xie Linghe: "Then I'm relieved. Xiao Xi, I'll sleep for half an hour. Call me when you're ready."

"Okay, host."

……

Half an hour later.

Xie Linghe was woken up, got up, packed his things, and went up the mountain with a small basket.

I checked the mousetrap as usual, but found nothing.

She wasn't surprised at all.

Ever since she came here, she has been placing rat nets in this bamboo forest. In the past two months, she has caught forty or fifty bamboo rats. This bamboo forest is not big and there are not many bamboo rats to begin with, so she probably caught them all.

She murmured to herself, "There are only ten pieces of bamboo rat jerky left at home. Once we eat them, they'll be gone. I have to find another way to catch wild game."

Put away the mousetrap nets.

She continued to walk deeper with the basket, and soon saw some nice wild vegetables.

Chinese cabbage.

"That's it."

Fried bacon with wild chrysanthemum is a real delicacy, but unfortunately the last piece of bacon at home was eaten up last month.

"Then let's make a hot and sour wild chrysanthemum salad, which is also very good."

Just a few here.

To make up a dish.

She continued to walk deeper, looking around along the way and picking any Chinese cabbage she saw.

unconsciously.

I picked almost a whole basket.

"Enough!"

As I was about to head home, I suddenly saw a cluster of bright red berries emerging from behind a tree, with palm-shaped leaves underneath...

Her pupils shrank: "What is this?"

Move forward subconsciously.

Just as she took a step, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded behind her: "He Jie'er?!"

Xie Linghe quickly turned around and saw the person coming. He was slightly surprised: "Second Sister Lian, what a coincidence, you are here to pick wild vegetables too?"

"Yeah~"

Song Lian's smile was a little stiff: "How long have you been here? I haven't seen you."

Xie Linghe calmly blocked the plant and said with a natural smile, "I just came here and picked some chrysanthemums. I'm going to pick some mushrooms to take back."

Sister Lian smiled and said, "Oh, so that's it. I'm almost done, so I'll go down the mountain first."

Xie Linghe nodded: "Goodbye."

After watching Sister Lian leave, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked around to see if there was anyone, and excitedly trotted behind a tree.

at the same time.

Song Lian's face turned pale.

A male voice suddenly sounded: "Did she see it?"

Song Lian recalled her expression and hesitated, "Probably not."

"Why not just go all out and give her to me like last time..."

"no!"

Song Lian refused without waiting for him to finish. "Last time, it was because of the flood, so we could let her die without anyone noticing. But now, it will definitely alarm the village, and even the government. Then we'll be finished."

"From what I've observed, she probably didn't realize it was us that time..."

The man replied, "Okay."
