The three brothers outside were not in the mood to read because of Lu's incident. Dalang held on and planned to read for a while, but Erlang was already packing his things.
"Second brother! You don't want to read anymore?" Sanlang saw Erlang packing his things and stood up too, preparing to leave together.
"Go back to sleep early!" Erlang glanced at the inner room and pulled the book in his hand tightly. He didn't want anything before giving it to them. Looking at the burning charcoal basin in front of him, Erlang felt that it was abnormal at the moment.
It was an eyesore. Before this, he felt warm, but now he felt that the firelight from the burning charcoal in the charcoal basin seemed to have turned into a smiling face, laughing at them.
He took a deep breath, ignored Saburo who was chasing behind him, and walked straight to the west wing.
"Mom! Did you go to town today?" No wonder that when he came back, Ms. Lu was dressed more elegantly than usual.
Ms. Lu sighed deeply when she was asked, "Isn't it because of your third sister-in-law? Today I took your third sister-in-law to go to Jingyuan Temple on Yunshan Mountain to burn incense. Your second sister-in-law"
When Mrs. Lu was asked about something that was bothering her, she just blurted it out without thinking too much. But halfway through, she felt something was wrong. How could she tell such a thing to a little kid? Let alone his sister-in-law?
"Ahem! Why are you asking so many questions, you little kid? That's not something you should care about. Go to bed early! I'm going back too." Mrs. Lu was afraid that Gu Chengyu would ask more questions, so she hurried out of the study.
Gu Chengyu pursed his lips, with a slight smile on his lips, and looked at Lu's quick steps in amusement. In fact, even if Lu didn't say anything, he already knew what was going on. Didn't you go to Jingyuan Temple to ask for a child?
Gu Chengyu put away the few books he saw on the desk and prepared to go back to his room. When he walked outside, he found Dalang scratching his head, still holding the university book in his hand.
Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that he also bought plum blossom cakes today, so he went back to the inner room and took out a pack of plum blossom cakes and a small pack of pine nut candies.
"But what else don't you understand? Just show it to me?" Gu Chengyu asked with a smile while standing in front of Dalang's desk.
"Ah? My uncle hasn't left yet? No need, I'll figure it out if I think about it more. My uncle should go to bed first!" Dalang really doesn't want to trouble his uncle anymore. Where can I do it? I can't do it anywhere.
!He was too embarrassed to ask his uncle.
"I said, just ask me if you don't know. You can bring this packet of sugar and plum blossom cake to your nieces. Girls all like these sweets." Gu Chengyu put the paper packet in his hand on Dalang's desk.
superior.
"Hey! My uncle went to copy books again?" Dalang asked enviously. At the same time, he saw the two packs of snacks and did not refuse. This is not the first time that my uncle has brought something back to Da Ya and the others. He is used to it.
.
"It's time to take the exam. The books in Shopkeeper Pan's shop sell quickly, so I helped copy a few copies. Go to bed early!" Seeing that Dalang refused to trouble him, Gu Chengyu stopped forcing him.
After all, Shanhe Town is a small town, so the bookstore does not need to hire people to copy the books very often. Generally, shopkeeper Pan will no longer hire people to copy the books once they have the inventory. Gu Chengyu can copy and write quickly and well. Although he only needs block letters.
, but his words are arranged very neatly and his writing is clean and tidy. Shopkeeper Pan is very satisfied.
Therefore, as long as there is copying work, it will usually be left to Gu Chengyu, and others will be copied when it is too late.
The money for copying a book also depends on the thickness of the book. It takes Gu Chengyu roughly three days to copy a book of 1,000 characters. These are all copied after completing the homework after school. After copying, he can get 20 words. If
If it's thicker, you'll have to pay extra.
Before, Dalang was very excited when he heard this, and wanted to ask Gu Chengyu to bring him two copies back, so that he could earn some copper coins. Although he was eating and drinking at home, he had no money, and he felt panicked.
!
Later, when Erlang found out, he laughed. Dalang's handwriting could only be considered correct. How could shopkeeper Pan accept such handwriting when copying books? There was no need to waste pen and ink. In fact, Gu Chengyu originally planned to make up for it himself.
Yes, even if you give him a few coppers, it shouldn't dampen his confidence too much, right?
But Erlang had already exposed it, and Dalang was so ashamed that he dared to mention it again. So every time the matter of copying books was mentioned, Dalang looked envious.
When Gu Chengyu was about to go back to the house to sleep, a cuckoo's cry suddenly came from outside the window, "cuckoo", "cuckoo".
When Gu Chengyu heard the cry, he felt a black line on his forehead.
"Huh? Uncle? Where did the cuckoo come from in this winter? It's still late at night." Dalang was a little surprised, why is there such a strange thing?
"Who knows this? You should go back and rest first! I remembered that I still have some books to sort out, so you go first!" Gu Chengyu said and returned to the back room of the study.
"Brother-in-law! How about I wait for you? Otherwise, Shu will sort it out tomorrow." Dalang saw that it was dark outside and was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be scared.
"No! What are you afraid of in your own home? You can leave first!" Gu Chengyu declined.
Helpless, Da Lang had no choice but to leave first. He knew that his uncle always liked to be clean and tidy. If he was not allowed to tidy up, he would not even be able to sleep! In fact, the uncle did not like others touching his things, although
My uncle never said it, but he had already seen it.
Dalang thought that everything would be fine at home, so he went back with a lantern.
When Gu Chengyu heard that Da Lang had left outside, he walked outside and opened the door.
"Ouch! It really hurts me. This wall is too high." At this time, a man's voice came from outside.
Gu Chengyu didn't feel surprised, so he just sat on the chair and waited for people from outside to come in.
"Sir! Can you please stop letting me climb the wall of your house next time? The wall of your house is too high, and it's so cold when I wait outside at night! It almost hurt my nose.
It’s frozen.”
As soon as the man entered the house, he complained.
After a while, I found that no one answered, so I raised my head and looked at the person sitting on the chair.
I saw Gu Chengyu's face was half-smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He didn't say anything, just looked at him.
"Ouch! Look at me, I'm talking nonsense again. It's such a cold day. If I didn't come in, why should I let the young master go out?" This man was a little embarrassed at this time. As he spoke, the eye-catching big wrinkle on the corner of his mouth also appeared.
It's shaking.
"Papa Yu! What happened to the thing I told you to do last time?"
It turns out that this person is Paralytic Yu. In the past two years, Paralytic Yu has been working with Gu Chengyu. Many things that were inconvenient for Gu Chengyu were handed over to Paralympian Yu. Because of the constraints of "poison", Paralytic Yu was quite obedient and got things done.
It can also satisfy him.
"As long as it's the master's request, how dare I not do it? Everything is already done, and I've already arranged all the people in that small courtyard!" Yu Pangzi looked at the little baby in front of him, filled with emotion in his heart.
