Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou were about to walk to the academy when they heard several women muttering.

The two turned around and saw a handsome man not far away, lifting the carriage window and looking outside.

The carriage was driving leisurely, and after a while, it passed by them.

Zhang Shuchuan praised him. He was indeed handsome and beautiful, but he looked a bit girly.

Unlike him, he looks like a real man at first glance.

When he saw his wife's calm face, he knew that this man did not meet his wife's taste, so he felt relieved.

However, this man is almost forty, how can he still look like he is in his twenties? His face is colder than that of modern celebrities.

If this recipe is available, he can also try it with his wife.

Thinking of this, he shook his head again. It would be bad to be called a monster.

Xia Yunrou really didn't think this consort was more handsome than Pan An, and she didn't like men who looked like pretty boys.

Looking at Lao Zhang who was smiling and shaking his head, he couldn't figure out why he had found a fool!

Not to mention how the Changle Prince Consort caused gossip among the people wherever he went.

Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou were shocked by the prices of books when they entered the bookstore.

The more books are recommended by the academy masters, the more expensive they are!

A book can be sold for dozens of taels!

Fortunately, they are still in the stage of learning the Four Books and Five Classics, and the most expensive book is only ten taels.

The travel notes that Xia Yunrou found were not very expensive, only one or two yuan.

However, she flipped through it casually and saw that there wasn't much content inside, so she didn't spend any money to buy it.

After entering the bookstore and coming out, I spent dozens of taels, which made Zhang Shuchuan feel a little distressed.

He had spent money lavishly before, and he had never felt like this.

Is it because we are too poor now? !

"Daughter-in-law, should we work harder to make money? If we keep going at this rate, I'm afraid our money will be gone soon."

Xia Yunrou nodded, studying does cost money, no wonder it is difficult for so many poor families to produce a noble son!

"How about we go back and try papermaking? Then open a bookstore?"

Xia Yunrou felt that the bookstore was really profitable, and she happened to know the craft of papermaking.

The papermaking technology of this era was only in the hands of a very small number of people. In addition, manual copying was slow and difficult to preserve. Therefore, the price of books was relatively expensive.

In the past, the Zhang family only had a three-character classic and a thousand-character essay that were almost rotten, and no other books.

In other farmers' homes, let alone books, it's hard to find even a piece of papyrus.

When Zhang Shuchuan heard this, he thought it was a success. As expected, his wife was the most powerful, and she would do something big!

On their way back, the two of them turned to a deserted place, then took out the cloth Xia Yunrou bought in the morning from the space, and carried it home.

Several brothers from the Zhang family returned before them.

Seeing the book and cloth in Zhang Shuchuan's hand, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Zhang Shuji and Zhang Shuyun were both married. They originally had some private money, but they only gave half of it to old man Zhang to buy land. The rest was not even enough to buy a book.

No matter how expensive their original books are, they can still afford them. Who knew that they had overestimated the prices of goods in the capital.

Several young men who were not married yet had no money in their hands. They only had a few taels of silver given by their mothers when they left home, and they were repeatedly told to save money.

Seeing that books were so expensive, they simply pooled their resources together and bought a few, and then bought several bound blank books, planning to stay up late tonight and copy the books.

When Old Man Zhang came back, he knew what they were thinking and scolded them. Then he threw them money and told them to buy books before the bookstore closed.

After this incident, the rest of the Zhang family became more eager to make money.

Reading is really expensive, and there are still several people studying.

"What! Wife-in-law Shuchuan, you can actually make paper!"

Old Man Zhang and others jumped up excitedly. They couldn't believe it and asked again.

Xia Yunrou nodded with a smile, "My mother told me this when I was young, so I remembered it."

"If you don't believe it, we can try it first. Anyway, it won't be a waste to try it."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law understood, looked around like a thief, and then closed the door.

Fortunately, the Zhang family was the only one at this meeting. The Yu family was probably all in the house, so they probably couldn't hear what they just said.

Xia Yunrou wrote down the methods and steps in her memory in detail on paper.

Everyone admired her handwriting when they saw it.

Who is this He Xiaocao? He was able to teach Xia Yunrou to be so skilled in martial arts!

When everyone saw the characters whose ink was not completely dry, they wanted to make paper immediately, but they gave up after looking at the sky and seeing that it was getting dark.

The little fat cat was kept at home by Xia Yunrou today and could not go out. She is still sulking and teasing the children.

The pink flesh pad was specially slapped on the child's buttocks, and then when the children came to their senses, it ran away. This was repeated several times, until the child was made to cry, and then he leisurely jumped to the rafter. above, looking arrogantly at the humans underground.

The adults thought that the cat must have become a sperm, but seeing that the children were not being photographed, they didn't care.

The night was dark and silent.

Zhang Shuchuan's eyes were bright as he looked at Xia Yunrou, who was about to lie down.

Xia Yunrou: "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have any!"

Zhang Shuchuan's face was shy, but in this dark night, no one could be seen.

"Daughter-in-law, you are now seventeen years old, right?"

When Xia Yunrou heard this, she knew what this guy wanted to do.

Although she had previously thought of waiting until she was eighteen years old to become an adult before she could become a human being.

But seeing Zhang Shuchuan's hardships during this period, she was a little shaken.

After finally doing it again, she was sometimes afraid of whether she would regret it if something unexpected happened again.

She was afraid of losing the person she loved most and regretting it for the rest of her life.

The face as crimson as a peach blossom is very close.

Zhang Shuchuan felt that he could actually see Xia Yunrou's dreamlike face in this dark night.

He smiled brightly and leaned down.

The night is dark, but extremely gentle.

Xia Yunrou didn't know where she was, like a small boat, rising and falling with the waves.

The next day, before dawn, the two of them were woken up by the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong in the yard.

It turned out that Old Man Zhang had stayed up all night and finally jumped up when the sky turned pale.

As a result, Zhang, his three brothers and his daughters-in-law were also up.

Looking at the blue eyes under his eyes, he probably didn't sleep much all night.
