Uncle Fu looked at Cheng Chubi in bewilderment. What's going on? I'm not the Third Young Master. Do you want to secretly help Madam Wu?
"Because she has to make a copy for herself, so the pen and ink money can't be included in it, right?"
"The cost is probably a hundred dollars. I don't know the details." Uncle Fu thought about it carefully and gave a rough price.
Cheng Chubi immediately agreed, and then said to Wu Mei, whose expression had just turned gloomy.
"Well, that's a volume of two hundred articles. You want to make two copies anyway. I'll choose.
The remaining copy belongs to you, and I will pay you two hundred yuan for every copy I get, how about it?"
Seeing Cheng Chubi's serious expression and Cheng Fu constantly winking at her, Wu Mei nodded vigorously.
"Okay, two hundred texts per volume."
Cheng Chubi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Then it's settled."
That handsome smiling face, with a gaze as gentle as the warm spring sun, made Wu Mei look away uncomfortably.
Cheng Chubi asked Uncle Fu to bring a small wooden box, put a few blank books inside, and put pen, ink, paper, and inkstones inside.
Let Uncle Fu carry these things and send Wu Mei back to Yang's house.
Just when Wu Mei was about to leave the room, she paused, looked back, and smiled.
The smile is bright, moving and dazzling.
The red lips parted slightly. "Actually, you are a good person." These five words jolted the somewhat sluggish Cheng Chubi to wake up.
Cheng Chubi felt completely unwell. "Hey, Mr. Wu, can you say something complimentary?"
Unfortunately, he only heard the footsteps that became obviously brisker. Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes and lay down on the couch.
This woman is so small-minded, could it be related to the size of her mind?
When you grow up in the future, you should become more open-minded, maybe...

Cheng Fu carried the heavy wooden box with ease, and Wu Mei, who walked briskly and inadvertently raised her eyebrows, left Cheng's house and headed towards Yang's house.
He also saw that Mrs. Wu Er was in a good mood, and thought of his young master's unhappy shouting in the house just now.
He couldn't help but hey, and explained to Wu Mei, "My third young master is actually a good person."
Wu Mei smiled sweetly and nodded heavily. "I know, thank you Uncle Fu, actually..."
"What?" Cheng Fu turned his head and asked with some confusion.
"Uncle Fu just winked at me, I already knew it. Thank you Uncle Fu for taking care of Xiao Wu."
"Haha, you kid, okay, no need to say anything else, let's go." Cheng Fu smiled heartily, waved his hand and said no more.
Actually, what I want to say is, that guy Cheng Laosan has bad eyesight and is a bit snarky.
I already saw it when I winked at you, Uncle Fu.
He wanted to help me, but he was also afraid that I would not be willing to accept help because of my pride.
He even put on a very fussy and fussy look, which was enough to make things difficult for the Cheng Family Sanlang.
Cheng Sanlang, you are indeed a good person. I thought of Cheng Chubi’s extremely strong resentment towards the title of good person.
Wu Mei couldn't help but smile, and quickly stopped, as if she was afraid of being noticed by Uncle Fu, who was walking with her.
"You can earn two hundred coins from one book? Our second wife is much better than the slave family."
Hearing the good news, Liu E, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was also overjoyed.
"I really didn't expect that Cheng Sanlang was a lucky star.
Since he came to the house, the slave's illness has recovered, and the second wife has also found a way to make money."
Yang nodded with a smile and took Wu Mei into her arms. "It's really hard on you. You have to worry about these things at such a young age."
"Mom, look what you said, my daughter is now grown up, so naturally I have to consider the livelihood of the family."
The still ignorant third sister Wu Cha tugged at the corner of Wu Mei's clothes and made a milky voice.
"Second sister, you have made money, can our family eat more meat?"
Wu Mei knelt down and gently scratched Sanmei Wucha's nose with distress. "Well, of course, you can eat whatever you want."
"That's great, Mom, I just want to eat meat today, Mom..." Wu Cha giggled and pulled Yang's clothes to start the coquettish mode.
"Okay, you little girl, why are you acting like a greedy cat all day long? Let Aunt Liu buy it later so that you can eat enough."
Looking at the laughing mother in front of me, and the happy sister with a pretty face like a spring flower.
There was also Aunt Liu who was packing up excitedly and getting ready to go shopping.
For no reason, he thought of Cheng Chubi chasing his three younger brothers.
After discovering that the family scandal was exposed, he used deliberate seriousness to cover up his embarrassed expression.
The corners of Wu Mei's bright red lips slightly raised happily.
In those slightly curved almond eyes, even if they are blocked by thick eyelashes, there is still starlight overflowing...

The East Palace is a palace complex located within the scope of the Imperial Palace. The prince of the Tang Dynasty lived here.
Prince Li Chengqian was sitting upright on the couch, and in front of him sat a civil servant with gray hair.
He is also an official of the East Palace. The right concubine of the crown prince, Kong Yingda, is reciting an ancient poem from the Book of Songs in a melodious tone.
Cheng Chubi stood behind the prince, with a serious expression and dull eyes.
Sorry, I really can’t understand it. After all, Cheng Chubi’s classical Chinese skills are at the level of a high school student at best.
After reading it carefully and comparing it with the context, you may still be able to understand it.
But if you listen and read alone, if you can understand five out of ten sentences, that's a good thing.
The old civil servant in front of me read with great enthusiasm and energy.
Li Chengqian nodded frequently when he heard it, as if he really understood.
Next to Li Chengqian, there was a young man about the same age as him.
His surname is Changsun, and his name is Jiaqing. He is the grandson of Changsun Chi and the nephew of Queen Changsun.
He is the only prince's attendant beside the prince.
Unlike the bachelor's degree students of later generations, this one was equivalent to a classmate studying with the prince.
The phrase "study with the prince" probably originated from this time.
After reading for three quarters of an hour, and answering and explaining the contents of the book to Li Chengqian, the gray-haired Master Kong took his leave.
Li Chengqian personally sent Kong Yingda to the entrance of the palace, and then stopped.
"Your Highness, go back and rest for a while and have some soup."
"Well..." Li Chengqian rubbed his brows and agreed.
Changsun Jiaqing glanced around and saw that Cheng Chubi was still there, and could not help but frown slightly.
Xuanji smiled politely at Cheng Chubi. "General Cheng, I have something to say to His Highness. I would like to ask General Cheng to step aside for now."
Cheng Chubi glanced at the eldest son, Sun Jiaqing, and then towards the prince, Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian smiled at Cheng Chubi and pointed to the seat next to him, motioning for Cheng Chubi to sit next to him.
"It doesn't matter, General Cheng and Gu are old acquaintances, and they are quite speculative. Changsun Qing, you and General Cheng are not outsiders."
"Well, this Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup is delicious. If you come, I'll serve it for you two Qings."
"Thank you, Your Highness, I am not thirsty." The eldest son, Jiaqing, saluted Li Chengqian.
Then he slowly stood up and looked at Cheng Chubi.
Cheng Chubi also looked at him and laughed. "Are you really not thirsty?"
