Provincial Examination is coming soon
The provincial examination was coming soon, and Xia Ru had no time to go to school to teach, so he stayed at home and studied hard every day.
There was a lack of teachers in the school, so all the young boys had a day off. Xia Yuan was very happy because he didn't have to get up early to go to school after four o'clock every day.
I spend every day at home writing manuscripts, reading the Four Books and Five Classics when I have nothing to do, and my life is uneventful.
No, calmness is not very accurate.
When he was sleeping in a daze that night, he suddenly noticed that someone was taking off his pants.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time, caught the little hand playing rogue, and got the stolen goods.
The scene was embarrassing.
After Xia Yuan was silent for a few seconds, he let go of her little hand, said nothing, pretended not to know, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Then I never mentioned it again.
But not mentioning it doesn't mean that she has forgotten it. Xia Yuan swore that he would tolerate her twice at most, but not three times at most. After the third time, he would obey her.
But unfortunately, since that incident, the little loli has been very honest. Except for her inexplicable blushing every time she goes to sleep, she has always been peaceful.
Xia Yuan was a little disappointed.
This morning, he came to Suiyazhai again with a thick stack of manuscripts.
This time the shopkeeper was much more enthusiastic than last time. The manuscripts Xia Yuan sold ten days ago had already been circulated throughout the study.
And those who have read the manuscript are the same as him, they are all broken up and broken into pieces.
Now a group of people are pressing for the manuscript every day and want to know the follow-up content.
What a sin you have committed.
"Young master, you don't know. My boss has been urging me to find you for manuscripts these days. But last time, I left in a hurry and I didn't even ask you where you live. Otherwise, I'll be scolded all day long."
The old shopkeeper led Xia Yuan into a quiet inner room, and as soon as he sat down, he ordered the waiter to serve tea, and serve good tea.
"Hi"
After sitting down, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and raised the armrest of the chair with his hand, "I wonder how many words of manuscript the young master has brought this time?"
"The number of words is more than 120,000." Xia Yuan took out a thick stack of paper from his arms and handed it over, "No, it's all here."
Looking at the thick stack of manuscripts, the shopkeeper forgot to pick them up for a moment. He never expected that there would be so many words. Their study also had a lot of copywriters, and their daily job was to write scripts.
.
But it usually takes them several months, or even longer, to write a book of more than 100,000 or 200,000 words.
But this young man wrote more than 100,000 words in just ten days?
Isn’t this nonsense? This isn’t it.
This young man must have written a lot of manuscripts, but he didn't take them out at once. What he brought last time was only part of them.
In just a short moment, the shopkeeper came to the conclusion that this guy was deliberately messing with people's mentality and was simply doing harm to others without benefiting himself.
"Young master is so talented in writing, he wrote so much in just a few days." After complimenting him, the shopkeeper picked up the manuscript and read it, and then gradually became fascinated.
Xia Yuan didn't even notice that the Mingqian tea was being served. Xia Yuan picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. He wanted to pour it for the shopkeeper, but he felt that he wouldn't be able to finish it in a while. Drinking herbal tea was not good for the stomach, so he simply skipped it.
He had no choice but to drink tea by himself, cup after cup. Xia Yuan found that he seemed to have tasted a little bit of the tea, at least he could distinguish the good from the bad. For example, he found that the tea at home did not taste as good as this Mingqian tea.
But this Mingqian tea is still not as good as iced black tea.
Adding these more than 100,000 words to the previous 80,000 words, the total number of words has reached more than 200,000, and the plot slowly unfolds with the number of words.
From Guo Jing going to Jiangnan to meet Huang Rong, to learning the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms with Hong Qigong, the more magical martial arts, internal strength, and moves were eye-opening for the shopkeeper, until he saw Guo Jing and Mei Chaofeng duel, leading to one of the five unique skills.
Huang Yaoshi appears.
A strange man in a green shirt, with a mask on his face, and a magical finger-snap power.
Then it was gone.
Gone again?
It ended up in this place again?
The shopkeeper's breath was held in his heart. He wanted to breathe out but couldn't. He wanted to swallow but couldn't. When he saw the teapot containing Mingqian tea, he picked it up and wanted to pour himself a cup of tea to suppress the depression. However, he found that the teapot had already been
empty.
Putting the teapot back, the shopkeeper's expression was inexplicably depressed. He forced a smile and said, "Sir, do you have any remaining manuscripts at home?"
"No, just calculate the money quickly, I'm leaving in a hurry."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
What else could the shopkeeper say? He took out a small abacus from his pocket and started counting.
More than 120,000 words were sold for more than 60 taels of silver, and Xia Yuan's pockets bulged again.
He did not allow the settlement to be made with treasure money. All he wanted was cash, more than sixty taels of silver, including silver ingots, but mostly broken silver.
Putting these pieces of silver together weighs five kilograms, which is the weight of money.
As for treasure money, what is it?
If something is depreciating all the time, wouldn’t it be a loss to own it?
With the money, Xia Yuan's first thing was to spend money. The tooth powder for brushing his teeth at home was almost used up. He first went to the tooth powder store and bought a large box of tooth powder. Then he bought a few kilograms of mutton and a dozen kilograms of rice to prepare for steaming in the evening.
Eat rice and stewed mutton.
I still have a lot of spices and aniseeds at home, so I don’t need to buy any more.
Xia Yuan thought about it and bought some more salt. A few days ago, he had used the simplest method, that is, filtering and boiling, to purify the coarse salt at home into fine salt.
When the pot of salt cubes that were as white as snow appeared, the little Lolita was stunned. Her wide-eyed look made Xia Yuan feel cute when she recalled it now.
Well, I decided to let her be shocked again and let myself see that cute look again.
Chapter completed!
