The moment the second master looked over, the boy also looked over with eyes sparkling with electricity.
Ye Qingqing:......
If she took it out now, the boy would kill himself on the spot.
"No, no, I'm itchy here, scratch it, scratch it." Ye Qingqing chuckled.
The second master looked at her suspiciously for a moment, then turned to urge the boy, "Go and ask!"
The young boy couldn't defeat his second master, so he had no choice but to scratch his hairline and go to the backyard to ask his wife.
"Where did the girl get this book?" As soon as the young man left, the second master asked Ye Qingqing, his posture was still like a big horse with a golden sword, his legs were crossed and his ankles were dangling, and he looked like he was not stingy.
Ye Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but he didn't want to hide it. After all, the whole village of Yuyu Village knew that the old Ye family had a fake young master who was expelled from the Hou family.
But before Ye Qingqing could say anything, the second master suddenly thought of something, slapped his own head, stood up from the chair, and walked to Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing was so frightened that she quickly took a step back, "What are you doing?"
"Are you from the fake young master's family who came back from Yuyu Village?"
Ye Qingqing:......
Wasn’t it true that ancient times were poorly informed?
Ye Qingqing blinked, "Do you have any objections?"
The second master raised his hand and slapped Ye Qingqing on the shoulder, "I've heard that your father used to be in Kyoto, and he was an old dandy!"
Ye Qingqing:......
"That's it, it's okay. My father, a dandy, didn't eat your rice. Besides, my father is not old, he is just over thirty."
The second master acted like a lunatic and suddenly laughed with his arms akimbo. Ye Qingqing was covered in goosebumps from the laughter. When he was about to run away with the book, the second master suddenly asked, "Did your father bring the book back?"
Seeing him like this, Ye Qingqing wondered if this person was going to come and rob him.
"Don't worry, I won't steal your books. I'm not that kind of person. I'm rich! That's right..."
Before the second master could finish what he said, the young man came back from behind the curtain, frowning and drooping, "Madam said, you can keep the book, but you have to take it. When the second master passes the Tongsheng exam, I will give it to you."
.”
The second master clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this what I just said!"
He raised his hand and said nonchalantly: "Tell my mother to put it away."
After saying that, he asked Ye Qingqing, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Ye Chengyang knows how to bargain, so Ye Qingqing opened her mouth and said: "Then it depends on how much you want to give."
The second master narrowed his eyes and said, "You want to deceive me? Although I am unconventional, I am not stupid. Although your book is new, it is something I have never read before. The emotional lines are relatively stable, but...
.The paper quality of this book is average.”
The boy covered his eyes without seeing anything.
The second master continued, "Also, look at the cover, it's a bit curled, and some of the handwriting on the inside isn't that clear, so it's hard for your eyes to read at night."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and turned it back and forth, "One hundred copper coins!"
Ye Qingqing's enthusiasm for finding fault with this man blinded him from his love for books, and rolled his eyes, "One hundred coppers? Then I ask the boss, how do you sell your annotated Four Books and Five Classics? You
How do I sell the books that children need to take home exams? How do I sell pens, inks, paper and inkstones?”
The second master immediately laughed and said, "Okay, so you plan to rely on this book to buy everything...that's not right."
The second master's smile faded, he looked at Ye Qingqing doubtfully, and inquired: "Why are you buying books for children to take the exam? Who wants to take the exam?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step back, bowed his waist and raised his hands, covered his mouth with his hands and took a breath of cold air. With a burst of excited joy and excitement, he asked, "Your father is going to take the boy student examination?"
Ye Qingqing:......
Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this second master's mind?
"do you have any opinion?"
"Hahahahaha! How can I have any objection? I have no objection at all! Like this, girl, if your father is a child student, I will give you this book for free!"
Ye Qingqing saw him smiling like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a rooster, so he was very wary and said: "I don't have a second book to exchange with you."
"No need, are you such a fussy person?" The second master is very generous.
The boy next to him silently looked at the sky outside: Who just found fault in saying that the calligraphy was not clear, just to reduce the original market price of 120 copper plates to 100 copper plates.
You want to study even when you see someone else’s father, it’s so evil to take pleasure in someone else’s misfortune!
The second master took out a few books from the bookshelf and put them on the table next to Ye Qingqing. "This is a must-read for all students taking the exam. They must memorize the entire text."
Then he took out another piece of paper and said, "If I'm not wrong, are you going to give your father a job copying books this time?"
Ye Qingqing:......
How do you know this?
The second master had a mysterious smile on his face, "You were sent back to this remote place by Hou Men. You even took out your story books and sold them. How can you be rich? If you have no money..."
The second master skillfully pulled out a weed from Ye Qingqing's head.
"Looking at you who haven't combed your hair or washed your face, I guess that family doesn't treat you well. To sum up, you have to copy books to make money, hahahahaha, copying books is good, copying books is wonderful, if your father copies books
, this young master is kind-hearted and wrapped his paper money."
Ye Qingqing rolled his eyes and said, "Copying books means that the bookstore provides paper, pen and ink!"
Second Master: ..."You know quite a lot."
The boy next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Ye Qingqing.
"The girl's father wants to copy the book, but we still have to read the calligraphy here. In this way, if the young master says to give these books to you, you can take them. The books will leave fragrance in your hands as a gift, and they should also be used to accumulate good deeds for our young master on his way to study.
Already.
"This is a high-quality book with a street price of 120 coppers. Although we are the only bookstore in our town, our store is also a time-honored one and does not deceive customers. Of course, you can also go to other towns.
The price will not be higher than this.
"It is true that the bookstore provides pen and ink paper when copying books..."
The young boy took three pieces of rice paper from the knife and gave them to Ye Qingqing, "Girl, take these three pieces of paper back and ask me to write on them. Then bring them to us to see if the writing is suitable. Then we can make arrangements for copying."
As for pens, if you can decide to copy books, our bookstore will give you pens. You can buy a cheaper one for me first. This kind of pen costs fifteen copper coins."
The boy was talking to Ye Qingqing about business, and the second master had left long ago.
After buying the pen, before leaving, Ye Qingqing asked the young man, "Brother, let me ask you something. Do the people in our town sleep on kangs or beds?"
The boy smiled and said: "Rich people also sleep on beds, but not too few. Most of them still sleep on the kang."
"Can the kang in our town be heated?" Ye Qingqing asked again.
The boy raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Hot it? How to heat it?"
Ye Qingqing got the answer and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll just say it casually. Thank you, brother. I'll send the message tomorrow. Goodbye, brother!"
My mouth tastes sweet when I go out.
Ye Qingqing hurried back with the book in her arms.
While rushing, I was thinking about my business.
People in this place sleep on kangs, but the kangs are solid and very cold in the winter.
If she could make a hot bed and make a fire... she would be rich!
