He felt that after completing the Master's homework step by step every day, he felt that he had completed the task, and then he didn't really want to write anymore.
If I took over the job of the bookstore, I would not have this feeling at that time, and I would be able to review the past and learn new things.
The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Young Master Tuesday is really diligent. Not all books in the store need to be copied, only those related to scientific examinations are more popular and need to be copied more."
"I will also participate in the imperial examination in the future, which is exactly what I want."
"Then on Tuesday, the young master will choose from the book list, what book to copy, and if you need to take the book back to copy, you will need to pay a deposit for the book."
"If you don't need it, you only need to pay the deposit for the paper. After you hand in the book, the ink fee will be settled. If you don't want to copy it, the deposit will be refunded."
"Then I don't need to pick up books or paper. When I'm done writing, I'll bring it over for you to recycle, right?"
"It's okay, but it's like selling books."
Right! Selling books is not good.
"Then I choose a book that I don't have at home to copy."
His progress is still slow now, and some scholars have not said that he is not ready.
Next year, the master will definitely arrange new content, and it is also good to transcribe it in advance, and then take advantage of the annual vacation to preview.
The third child held three books in his hand, and came back to see the second child paying the money there.
Doubtfully, he said, "Second brother, did you give me my money too?"
"No, this is the deposit I gave."
He told him about copying books, and the third child agreed.
Stretching his neck and looking at the book list at the shopkeeper's place, he found that two books in his hand were also on the book list.
"Shopkeeper, can I also copy if I want, but I want to copy two copies and keep one for myself."
"Yes, then on Wednesday, the young master only needs to receive a piece of paper. After the writing is finished, it will be bound and delivered, and there will be a salary."
"Yeah."
Originally, he wanted to borrow it and go back to copy it, so it's fine to copy two copies, and the rental fee can be waived if he has wages.
Although this money is nothing to them now, it is also a process of adding up.
It's not bad to be able to make money by copying books by yourself, without having to rely entirely on the mother's monthly salary.
In the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, they have nowhere to go. When the time comes, the cat is at home, so copying books is just right.
After they settled their accounts, they waited for the eldest brother to come out, so they asked the shopkeeper to put away their things first, and they went in to have a look.
Loud noises are not allowed in the bookstore. Many people read and copy books in the bookstore, which is just greed for the quietness of the library.
When they found the boss, he was looking fascinated.
The two approached him, but he didn't respond.
The second child patted his shoulder and called softly, "Big Brother!"
He jumped up in fright and exclaimed, and everyone around looked at him with frowns.
The boss smiled and said to everyone, "I'm sorry to disturb everyone. I was so fascinated by it just now that I was taken aback."
Seeing that everyone understood a little bit, and after continuing to read the book in his hand, the boss glared at the two and whispered: "Why are you so scary."
"Are you guilty of being a thief, big brother? What book are you reading? You have such a big reaction." The third child took the book in his hand curiously.
"Weird Story One? Does it look good?"
"It's good-looking, and it's very interesting to write. It's about ghosts and ghosts. It's written with a scholar as the protagonist's vision, with a bit of lace."
The second and third put their heads together and read a few chapters curiously.
"Isn't it good-looking? There is a "1" at the end of this book's title, and there should be two more. I'll look for it, borrow it and bring it back to read."
"It's very interesting to write." The third child was attracted after reading the beginning.
"Look at it first, I'll help eldest brother find the second volume, and by the way, pick up a few travel notes or something."
"At this!"
"It's the third volume, what about the second volume? Why didn't you see it?"
The two rummaged through the entire bookshelf and didn't see it.
"Will it be borrowed, or put on other bookshelves? I don't think the third volume is put together with the first."
The second child guessed: "This is half of the reading. I'm afraid of being borrowed? That's why I put it in a corner alone?"
"It's possible, forget it, let's borrow these two books first, and come back next time to see if there is a second book."
At this time, someone also walked up to their row and said in surprise, "Are you here too?"
They turned their heads and were surprised, they folded their fists and saluted.
He wanted to speak out but was stopped by Taisun.
"Shh! Don't be too polite, keep quiet, and don't disturb others."
They just stood up.
The old man asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness Taisun is also here to find books?"
Taisun nodded.
"Isn't the collection of books in the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy in the palace richer than here? Why did Taisun come here to borrow books?"
He asked curiously, the other two brothers thought so too, and was surprised that Taisun would come here to find books.
Taisun smiled awkwardly, "I'm here to return the books. There are some books here that are not in the Imperial College or the palace."
The three pondered for a while and understood in seconds.
Guozijian and the palace collect all serious books. Taisun walked to this bookshelf to indicate that he was looking for some miscellaneous books.
Unexpectedly, Taisun also likes to read books without doing business.
The boss consciously met a fellow man, and immediately felt that Taisun was much more cordial, and grinned: "What book is Taisun looking for, our brothers will help you find it together."
Taisun spread out the books in his hands and showed them, "I want to find the third volume of this book."
"Hey, strange story two?"
"It turned out to be in the hands of His Royal Highness Taisun."
Before Taisun could ask the question, the second child spread out the third book in his hand to show him.
"You are also reading this book?"
Taisun was pleasantly surprised, and only felt that they were destined to read the same book.
"I only found the second volume when I came back, but I didn't see the third volume. After reading the second volume, I didn't know what to do. I guessed that there should be a third volume. UU reading So today I took advantage of Rest, come and try your luck."
"We also just saw this book, and found it interesting, so we searched for it, but we only found the first and third volumes, and we didn't see the second volume. I thought it should be borrowed, but I didn't expect it to be in His Royal Highness's hands."
"It's just right to exchange, I have read the first two volumes."
Taisun handed them the book and exchanged it.
The boss dared to discuss with Taisun.
"Please, Your Highness, after reading this book, don't return it, but keep it. We will let Zhou Shan go to the palace to pick it up."
"I'm afraid that after His Royal Highness returns it, it will be borrowed and we won't be able to connect. It will be like a cat scratching in my heart."
Taisun smiled and nodded understandingly, because he was itching to read the third book after reading it.
"Hehe, no problem, I'll send someone to the mansion when the time comes, so there's no need to tell the little uncle to run around."
"It's been cold recently, and Xue Xi has been restrained by my mother-in-law to learn the rules, so she won't be allowed to go out, or she will bring it to you."
