Ling Yun swallowed his saliva and asked seriously, "What does this mean?"
It had been a long time since he had seen so much money. His expression was not as calm as before, but rather unsatisfactory. It took him a long time to recover.
The fat man next to him rolled his eyes at him and looked at Ling Yun who looked like he had never seen the world. When he thought that he was his good friend, he felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to find a hole to crawl in.
Isn’t it just a few dozen taels of silver? Is there any need to be so shocked?
This is only a few dozen taels of silver, which is much less than my young master’s monthly pocket money!
"Master Yun, this is half a month's income from your novel, a total of one hundred taels. According to your request, the bookstore took half of it, and the remaining half belongs to you. Please count it, if there is no problem
, just sign here." The bookstore steward explained to Ling Yun with a smile.
"Oh?" Ling Yun never expected that his novel would be so popular in Fucheng?
If we divide it equally, we will get fifty taels, which is nearly a hundred times the income of the county town!
It seems that I tried my best to print the book and show it to Wang Jinghui. This decision was extremely correct.
He cast a grateful look at the fat man. If he hadn't mentioned that the Wang family had a bookstore business, wouldn't he have had such a plan?
I originally thought about giving it to the fat man, but seeing the disgusted look in his eyes, I knew that he didn't like this small amount of money, so I didn't say anything in the end.
Ling Yun divided the money into two parts before putting it on his body.
"Master Yun, don't you count it?" The bookstore steward saw that Ling Yun didn't count it either, but directly took out a small half and put it in another purse, then put it on his body.
"No need, I trust Uncle Xu."
The name of the bookstore butler is Xu Jun. He is called a butler because he was born as a butler in the royal family. He was later sent to manage the Wang family's bookstore. Because of the remarkable results, the Wang family made him the bookstore owner.
"You kid..." Xu Jun smiled and said nothing.
In his heart, Ling Yun is indeed a good boy who understands etiquette. Although he is young, he will never look down on his young master because they are his friends. When facing people older than him, he will greet people in a polite manner.
He is in his thirties, and apart from his own young master, Ling Yun is the only child that he admires.
Although looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like a child from a wealthy family.
But he also heard that this child never belittled himself and refused to accept gifts from others.
What surprised Xu Jun even more was that the ten-year-old baby in front of him had already passed the government examination and was promoted to Tongsheng.
Sometimes he thinks that it's not that there are no children from poor families, it's just that they can't be so young.
The poor people think about the lack of resources. What others learn in one day is just a few points, but it may take him a week or a month.
After all, without a diligent family background, you wouldn't even have the chance to see a book, let alone learn to read and write.
Moreover, he also heard that this child took the college examination a few days ago, although the list has not been posted yet.
But it’s coming soon, the list will be posted this afternoon.
In Xu Jun's eyes, Ling Yun is definitely on the list. Even if he fails this time, he will definitely pass next time.
After all, someone who can become friends with his young master shows that there is something dazzling about him/herself.
Ling Yun didn't know that he had such a high opinion in Xu Jun's eyes.
"Uncle Xu, let's go first." Ling Yun said goodbye to him, while not forgetting to call out to the fat man who was walking around in the bookstore.
"Go!" Xu Jun smiled and said knowingly.
Ling Yun and Fatty went out, carrying a huge sum of fifty taels, and wanted to buy something.
With this money, the Ling family's current difficulties were naturally solved, and he felt happy. He had not felt this comfortable feeling for a long time.
Although that heavy burden has always been pressed in his heart, in the dead of night, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Ling Yun, where are we going?" The fat man looked at him walking forward in silence.
"Let's go buy some things. We'll go back after the hospital releases the test results. It's rare to come to Fucheng. Besides, now that we have money, we naturally have to bring something back to give to our family." Ling Yun said without thinking, with a toothy smile.
"Oh!" The fat man nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Ling Yun, why are you so happy?"
"Is there any?" Ling Yun looked at him doubtfully.
"Yes." Fatty affirmed.
Then he added, "You haven't stopped smiling since you left the bookstore. Could it be that you encountered something happy?"
He took a step forward and approached Ling Yun and said cautiously, "Ling Yun, tell me and I will keep it a secret."
After saying that, she looked at him expectantly.
Ling touched his face. Did he show it so obviously?
"It's okay, it's just that I'm going home soon. I feel inexplicably happy when I think about getting relatives at home!" He would definitely not say it was because of the fifty taels incident, otherwise the fat man would definitely laugh at him again.
"Oh!" The fat man seemed to feel that this was indeed the case, and he no longer had any doubts, let alone thinking about fifty taels of silver.
If the fat man knew about it, he would definitely despise him deeply.
"Then what should we buy? I don't even know what my father and my mother like." When it came to buying things, the fat man became entangled.
Ling Yun looked at the hesitant fat man, smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter what you buy. What they want is not what you buy, but who you are."
The fat man tilted his head and looked at him, obviously not understanding what he meant.
Ling Yun patted him on the shoulder and explained patiently, "The elders don't care what we buy them. What they really care about is whether we have them in our hearts. Even if you just buy a pancake, they will."
I am overjoyed and very happy.”
"Then Ling Yun, what kind of pancakes should we buy?" As soon as he said this, Ling Yun couldn't laugh or cry. He was really amused.
It’s so unbelievable!
Ling Yun was ashamed. Before he could explain to him, he saw him holding his fingers and wondering, "But the pancakes here are not as delicious as the pancakes made by my cook at home."
"Hahaha..." Ling Yun couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
After a while, he bent over with laughter, tears streaming down his face.
The fat man looked at Ling Yun who was laughing wildly at a loss. He didn't understand what he said wrongly to make him so happy.
"Ling Yun, why are you laughing?"
"Wait, let me laugh for a while before I tell you." He waved his hand, signaling the fat man not to speak yet.
"Huh!" The fat man grunted and turned his head to the side.
Ling Yun smiled, his face stiff, and he felt like his face was cramping from laughing.
So he stopped to straighten his clothes, then looked at the fat man and said, "Okay, okay, let's go shopping."
"I'm not going, you have to go by yourself." The fat man remained motionless, obviously not wanting to talk to him.
"You really don't want to leave? Then I'll leave first, and then you can go back by yourself later."
