He laughed for some time, however he appreciated Zhao’er’s frankness of not eager to make the most of others: “These had been bought to a clothes retailer or an embroidery workshop, and the value was the identical. Whatever the giant amount, there are usually not many good ones that may be bought at an affordable value.” Those have already been picked away.”

Zhao’er thinks about it too, the eyes of the county persons are naturally totally different from these of the nation folks, not to mention this sort of massive pawn store, what’s unhealthy of their eyes is definitely good for the nation folks to see.

She breathed a sigh of reduction, and mentioned, “I would like the bag of garments from Shopkeeper Shen, and I will provide the cash proper now.”

“Are you wealthy now?”

After all she is wealthy, Zhao’er now has greater than two taels of silver in complete, and simply now Su Lan gave her one other 5 taels, which is of course sufficient.

On the identical time, Shen Ping laughed a bit, “Properly, I forgot that you simply had visited her earlier than, so I got here right here, so she would not make the most of me.” The voice was very small, virtually like a murmur, and Zhao’er solely paid consideration to it. I had to have a look at the garments, however I did not hear clearly.

“I will discover a man to name a automotive for you, and also you, a bit woman, cannot transport these items.”

“Thanks, Shopkeeper Shen.”

After seeing off Zhao’er, Shen Ping circled and went into the pawn store.

Though he’s known as the third shopkeeper, he isn’t the third shopkeeper of this retailer, however the third shopkeeper of the whole ‘Herongsheng’, and he’ll solely keep in Xia County completely below his deliberate request.

Shen Ping is the son of the Shen household, his father is the chief supervisor of the Shen residence, and he has been a servant with the third younger grasp Shen Fu since he was a baby. It was not till he turned an grownup that he was launched to grow to be a shopkeeper.

“If she comes once more subsequent time, simply do as I instructed you earlier than.”

“Sure, shopkeeper.”

Simply after midday, the clerk Ah Cai got here to ship meals to Xue Tingxiang.

Boss Chen mentioned it was easy meals, however in actual fact the meals was not unhealthy, with one meat and one vegetable, and one soup. Xue Tingxiang knew very effectively that Boss Chen was taking good care of him intentionally. How might anybody rent somebody to repeat books, deal with tea and meals, and the wages they paid weren’t low.

It was as a result of he knew it in his coronary heart that he did not say no. On this case, the refusal retained his character, however it appeared too petty and hypocritical.

It may solely be repaid sooner or later, Xue Tingxiang thought flippantly in his coronary heart.

After consuming, when the person got here to wash up the dishes, he mentioned that he might relaxation for an hour. There’s a chaise longue out there on this room, and naturally you may go to the entrance to learn a ebook to cross the time.

Actually, the latter sentence is the important thing level, Xue Tingxiang was not pretentious, after cleansing his fingers, he went ahead.

This retailer could not appear massive, however it has numerous books of every kind, starting from rural tales to books in regards to the imperial examination, and there are numerous books in regards to the imperial examination.

Because the former dynasty, the imperial examination has used eight-legged essays as the usual model, with strict laws, and even restrictions on the size of sentences, the variety of phrases, the extent of rhymes, and even the scope of questions.

Stereotype essays take questions from the 4 Books and 5 Classics, and are composed of eight elements: breaking the title, inheriting the title, beginning the lecture, beginning, beginning the essay, center part, again part, and binding the part. It appears inflexible and inflexible, however in actual fact it isn’t simple to do a very good stereotyped essay. In case you actually assume that solely studying the 4 Books and 5 Classics is sufficient, you might be flawed. To not point out astronomy and geography, no less than it’s important to be concerned in all features, with the intention to write a very good article filled with flowers and content material.

In that dream, Xue Tingxiang received the Jinshi with the twenty first place within the second class, and was admitted to the Hanlin Academy after passing by way of the corridor. He ought to have been on a gradual rise since then, however as a result of he offended somebody, an imposing Hanlin was despatched down. The sort of place the place the birds do not shit is an official.

Xue Tingxiang pursed his lips barely, feeling that he was pondering an excessive amount of, in spite of everything, he isn’t even a baby now, let’s take into consideration the current.

So, with out pondering an excessive amount of, he took out a ebook from the bookcase and browse it quietly.

Throughout this era, clients from the bookstore got here to promote some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, or got here to purchase books, at all times interrupting Xue Tingxiang’s studying.

Seeing this, Boss Chen mentioned: “Brother Xue, you may take the ebook to the again and browse.”

Xue Tingxiang checked out him in shock: “This…”

“It is okay, it isn’t unhealthy on your ebook.”

Xue Tingxiang was silent, bowed deeply in salute, after which went again.

When Xue Tingxiang awoke, he heard Boss Chen speaking outdoors and Zhao’er’s voice on the identical time.

“The place did you get this massive bag?” Boss Chen checked out Zhao’er in shock, and requested for the bag at her ft that was a lot larger than her.

Zhao’er was sweating profusely and mentioned: “Uncle Chen, I bought it from the county, and so did the person from the automotive dealership. They solely helped me to the intersection and left me behind. I needed to be dragged to the automotive dealership. However pondering that my brother remains to be right here…”

Boss Chen laughed, and known as his assistant: “Ah Cai, come and assist little brother Zhao’er carry the issues in.” Then he mentioned to Zhao’er: “Are available and have a drink and relaxation earlier than leaving.”

“Uncle Chen, what a disgrace.”

“If you had been bargaining with me, you had been by no means well mannered, however now you might be extra well mannered.” Boss Chen pretended to stare.

Typically talking, Boss Chen is a sublime and humorous particular person.

Xue Tingxiang additionally got here out to assist, and requested, “What’s in it? Why is it so heavy? The place did you get it?”

To not point out it was actually heavy, Ah Cai tried a couple of occasions however could not raise it, solely three folks might raise it.

“I bought it from a pawn store. If I can promote this bundle, my sister will manage to pay for to ship you to the Qinghe Academy.”

Zhao’er hadn’t realized that he had slipped up, however Xue Tingxiang had. He glanced at Boss Chen, and Zhao’er understood what he mentioned at this second, and checked out Boss Chen with some guilt: “Uncle Chen, I’ll clarify to you later.”

She was a bit anxious, and with out asking the 2 of them to assist, she lifted the large bag and carried it on her shoulders. The large bag pushed her to 1 aspect, however she nonetheless stopped, and she or he rapidly carried the issues inside.

Ah Cai praised: “It does not appear like she is robust, she is so robust.”

Right here, Xue Tingxiang regarded on the again and pursed the corners of his mouth, whereas Boss Chen’s eyes darkened.

Xue Tingxiang regarded up at Boss Chen, and walked in the direction of him.

…

Zhao’er discovered a spot to place down the large bag, then went to clean his fingers and face to wash up his physique, after which A Cai led him to see Boss Chen.

Seeing Boss Chen, Zhao’er felt a bit responsible. However she did not intend to proceed to deceive Boss Chen, as a result of Boss Chen is an effective particular person. To not point out the advantages he gave her earlier than, simply because he requested the little man to repeat books for such a excessive value, let him learn books right here, and deal with the lunch at midday, Zhao’er can not proceed to deceive.

Actually, Zhao’er just isn’t a liar, it is simply that she hid her gender, after which the so-called workmanship is simply accumulating some greens and promoting them to make some purses or one thing.

“Uncle Chen…”

Boss Chen sighed and waved his fingers: “Okay, you need not say anymore, you’re a woman, and you might be actually embarrassing.”

Zhao’er regarded stunned, her spherical eyes widened.

Boss Chen laughed a bit and mentioned, “Your little husband has already instructed me the whole lot.”

“He, what did he say…” Zhao’er stammered, nonetheless in disbelief. As a result of she is aware of that the little man at all times pays consideration to face and has numerous ideas, and she or he does not like to say her as his youngster bride-in-law in entrance of outsiders, and the Xue household’s unhealthy issues.

“I’ve mentioned the whole lot that must be mentioned.” After a pause, Boss Chen requested, “Have a look at how stunned you might be, is not it nonetheless a secret?”

Zhao’er laughed awkwardly, and faltered: “That is not true, it is simply that he is younger, and folks in our village hate him. Individuals at all times assume that I am older than him, and my daughter-in-law teases males and laughs at him.”

The identical sentence sounds totally different to totally different folks.

Boss Chen could not assist however wish to chortle, however Xue Tingxiang outdoors had blended emotions in his coronary heart.

That is why she at all times known as herself sister, so within the dream he was outdated, however she did not wish to marry him. Or he ignored her needs and insisted on marrying him along with his mother and father’ orders.

She really understood her awkward way of thinking. He instructed himself to not be stunned by what different folks mentioned, however he cared about it in his coronary heart, so even when the 2 bought married, they could not do it collectively.

She really knew the whole lot, but she relied on him for the whole lot! Observe him!

Whereas the temper was churning, the subject was modified inside.

“I simply heard from you that you simply plan to economize to ship him to Qinghe Academy?”

Zhao’er nodded, seeing the unusual expression on Boss Chen’s face, she could not assist however ask, “Is that faculty unhealthy?”

“Take the highway of opportunism, and it will not final lengthy.”

Zhao’er did not fairly perceive what he heard, however he additionally knew that it was not a very good phrase.

“If you wish to assist him discover a good ebook academy, I’ve one thing to suggest. It is simply…” Boss Chen sighed out of the blue: “Properly, let me inform you that you do not perceive both. Let’s speak about it later.”

Zhao’er nodded in a daze.

It was not too early to satisfy later, and the 2 deliberate to return to Yuqing Village.

As a result of the large bag of garments was an excessive amount of, and it will be eye-catching to convey again, Boss Chen requested Zhao’er to place the issues in his store quickly. Anyway, there are nonetheless a couple of vacant rooms behind the store, so simply discover a place to place them.

The 2 went again to the village by automotive, as a result of after time, solely the ox cart may very well be used, so the 2 sat on the ox cart and walked again bumping backwards and forwards.

Midway alongside the highway, a mule cart got here head-on.

The motive force was a person, darkish and tall. When he bought nearer, he might see his look clearly. He had thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a excessive nostril bridge, and he was very heroic. His sleeves had been half rolled up above his elbows, and his arms gave the impression to be filled with muscle groups. He regarded like a robust man.

Xue Tingxiang noticed the particular person coming at a look, and his pupils shrank instantly.

He glanced at Zhao’er subsequent to him, noticed her together with her head half down, and he was relieved.

However the customer nonetheless noticed them, his eyes lit up, and he raised his voice and shouted: “Zhaoer.”

Zhao’er regarded over and instantly smiled: “Brother Jiang Wu, the place are you going?”

Jiang Wu tightened the reins and stopped the mule cart.

“I’ll city, are you going again? Get out of the automotive, and I will see you off.”

Zhao’er hesitated and mentioned, “Do not you continue to wish to go to city? Anyway, we have already bought within the automotive, so you must do your personal work.”

“I haven’t got something to do. I simply went to Lao Li’s place to take a look. Initially, my father mentioned that I’d go tomorrow and purchase some issues on the best way again. It does not matter whether or not I’m going or not. Come on, this automotive is sluggish and bumpy. My automotive remains to be quicker.” Jiang Wu mentioned to Zhao’er with a smile, fully unaware that the face of the proprietor of the bullock cart turned black.

Seeing this, Zhao’er did not let the proprietor of the ox cart cease, and jumped off from above. After taking two steps over there, I noticed that I had forgotten the particular person.

Whereas letting the proprietor of the bullock cart cease, she mentioned to Xue Tingxiang: “Come on down, let’s return in Brother Jiang Wu’s automotive.” Together with her beaming face, she was in a very good temper.

Xue Tingxiang’s face was a bit ugly, he glanced at Zhao’er, after which slowly bought out of the automotive.
