Beloved wife

Yan Jing didn't know what kind of person he was before, but now...he is a person who does what he says anyway.

After making the decision to take the imperial examination, Yan Jing immediately began to think about what to do.

The work of copying books must continue. He is still too poor and needs to make more money. In addition, he must read more books.

Thinking of this, Yan Jing immediately looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you recruit people who stay in the shop to copy books?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Young Master Wei wants to come to my place to copy books?"

Jobs like professional book copying are not easy to do. Many people will develop various physical problems after doing it for a long time. I don’t know how many people have problems with their backs, necks, shoulders and wrists.

Generally, only poor scholars who really have no money will do this job.

"No, I'll copy the books." Yan Jing said.

Shopkeeper: "..."

The shopkeeper of the bookstore looked at Yan Da in front of him in shock.

In fact, people in Donggu County are afraid of Yan Da, not because Yan Da really bullies people... A large part of the reason has to do with Yan Da's height and appearance.

He was only as tall as Yan Da's shoulders, and he had to raise his head to see Yan Da's appearance clearly.

In addition, although Yan Da's appearance is good, he is full of fierceness, and just making a straight face makes people feel scared.

In addition, Yan Da's job is as a thug, and he often does things in the county town without paying for food... Naturally, everyone doesn't want to provoke him.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore was getting old, so he wasn't too afraid of Yan Da, but he couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard that such a person was coming to copy books.

"I copied all these books." Yan Jing pointed to the thick stack of papers.

As soon as Yan Jing came, the few scholars who had been staying in the bookstore left with Wei Lingyuan.So far, only the shopkeeper of the bookstore has heard Yan Jingze's words.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore was very speechless: "Do you know how to read?" Yan Xiaoxiao has been living in the county since he was a child and has never read a book. How could he know how to read?How could it be possible to copy books?

What's more, this word cannot be practiced without ten years of skill.

"I can read, so I can write it for you." Yan Jing said.

"Shopkeeper, these books were indeed copied by Brother Yan!" Wei Lingxiu also hurriedly helped Yan Jingze: "Brother Yan has a photographic memory."

These two people are too confident and determined... The shopkeeper of the bookstore glanced at Yan Jingze suspiciously, and took out a pen and paper.

Yan Jing started to write with a pen, and quickly wrote the beginning of a section of "San Zi Jing", which was exactly the same as the words on the next stack of paper.

Shopkeeper: "..."

There is a yard behind the bookstore, which is the shopkeeper's residence, and there is a room specially for copyists to copy books.

But the shopkeeper went there without Yan Jingze, he took Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu to another empty room, and served tea.

After the tea was served, the shopkeeper didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said, "Yan Da, I remember you never went to school, how did you know how to read?"

"It was taught by Ling Xiu, and the characters were also learned from him." Yan Jing said.

"How long have you been studying?" the shopkeeper asked again, his hands trembling slightly - it seems that Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu have only known each other for a few months?

"Brother Yan only learned to read after I left Wei's house. He has a photographic memory!" Wei Lingxiu emphasized again.

The shopkeeper took a deep breath, thought for a while, and took out a script book to Yan Jingze: "You read it first, and then recite it to me later."

This remark had just come from the capital, and he was the only one in Donggu County who had seen it.

Yan Jing took the script and read it.

This script is pretty good-looking, and the words used are simple. Although the Four Books and Five Classics can be memorized, they can't understand it. This script is different, he can understand it.

Yan Jing watched it with relish, and kept turning back.

"Wait a minute, you need to recite a passage for me." The shopkeeper said, so why don't you read the previous one?

Yan Jing closed the book: "I can recite it now..." He opened his mouth and recited it.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore quickly took the books and compared them one by one, only to find that Yan Jingze had recited them word for word.

His hands trembled more violently.

Yan Jing said: "Shopkeeper, can you let me copy books in the bookstore? I promise to copy books quickly and well."

The shopkeeper looked at Yan Jingze: "Are you really going to take the scientific examination?"

"Really." Yan Jing said.

Yan Jing has this kind of ability... He stayed in the bookstore to copy books, definitely for reading.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore looked Yan Jingze up and down, and immediately said: "Yes."

Although he didn't know why Yan Da had such abilities, but when he met such a person, the shopkeeper of the bookstore had no other ideas except to make friends with him.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yan Jingze again tangled - this guy really doesn't look like a scholar at all!

Yan Jing was overjoyed: "Thank you shopkeeper! I will copy the book tomorrow!"

He can't understand the things in these books for the time being, so he should memorize them all first, and then ask someone for the meaning.

Wait... there are other ways to learn!

Yan Jing acted vigorously, and after talking with the shopkeeper about copying books, he looked at Wei Lingxiu who was talking to the shopkeeper and wanted to come to the bookstore to copy books: "Lingxiu, which school is better in Donggu County?"

Wei Lingxiu said: "The family studies of the big families like the Wei family and the Li family are all very good. There are scholars in the family who teach the students in the family study carefully, and there are also a few scholars who are very knowledgeable..."

There have been many Juren in Donggu County, but those Juren either taught in the county school, or accepted a few disciples alone, and did not open a school.

Yan Jing carefully asked about the situation of several scholars, and finally said: "I know Zhao Xiucai, he is very nice, you can go to him to learn from him later, and try to get him to accept you."

"What?" Wei Lingxiu was taken aback.

Yan Jing looked at him and said, "Ling Xiu, I want to copy books to make money, and I also have to endorse them. I don't have time to study. You go to Zhao Xiucai to study, and tell me what you have learned in the evening. That's the best."

"I can't, I can't study." Wei Lingxiu quickly refused.

"You must do it. If you are afraid of forgetting, you can write it down." Yan Jing said.

Although Wei Lingxiu said that he could not take the imperial examination, Yan Jing still wanted him to study.

Maybe when will he be able to take the exam?There is no harm in reading more books!

Most importantly, if Wei Lingxiu didn't go to study, what else could he do?Let Wei Lingxiu copy books with him?

He can't bear it!

Copying books has to be done at the desk all the time, Wei Lingxiu is copying, what should I do if my body is broken?

As for him... his body is too strong to break.

In the past, Wei Lingxiu was always told that he was not suitable for studying, but now Yan Jing recognized him so firmly, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't agree with Yan Jingze's words: "You can go to Teacher Zhao to study, I will copy it in the bookstore. Book……"

"You copy the books too slowly, and you can't save enough money for the exam." Yan Jing said.

Really... Wei Lingxiu also had to admit this.

"Ling Xiu, it's up to you whether I can take the scientific examination." Yan Jing said, dragging Wei Lingxiu to Zhao Xiucai's place.

After all, the original owner was born and raised in Donggu County, and knew some famous people in Donggu County, and this Zhao Xiucai, the original owner knew something about it.

There are many scholars in Donggu County, and more people accept students to subsidize their families. Many scholars accept students from good families, so that they can get more respect from students. Unlike Zhao Xiucai, many of them are from poor families.

It's just that most of the students from poor families can't persist in studying. Many people have studied with Zhao Xiucai for a few years and then stopped studying, so that Zhao Xiucai has never taught a child-born scholar for so many years. Gradually, there are rumors that He doesn't know how to teach people, and those who want their children to take the exam don't go to him as a teacher.

But Yan Jing had seen the memories of the original owner, and had a good impression of the old man.

What's more, with Wei Lingxiu's current situation, it's easy to be bullied if you go to a school where rich people study, so you won't be bullied if you go to Zhao Xiucai's. teacher.

When Yan Jing arrived at the gate of Zhao Xiucai's house, there were several children playing in front of Zhao Xiucai's house. Seeing him, the faces of these children changed drastically, and they turned around and ran away: "Yan Da is here!"

In Donggu County, children are the most afraid of talking about scenes. Who made parents like to use talking about scenes to scare people in recent years?

Yan Jing didn't care about these children, and walked in with Wei Lingxiu.

As a result, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, a man in his 50s with a long beard and a long gown came out of the house and glared at him: "Stop, what are you doing here?"

"Mr. Xiucai, my family, Ling Xiu, is coming to apprentice." Yan Jing grinned—this person is Zhao Xiucai.

Wei Lingxiu's reputation in Donggu County is not very good at the moment, but everyone doesn't hate him very much, but sympathizes with him.

He felt that he must have been deceived by Yan Jingze.

Zhao Xiucai thought so.

He kept watching Yan Jingze warily, but after asking about Wei Lingxiu's knowledge, he agreed to accept Wei Lingxiu.

His family is poor, and having more students means more income, which is always a good thing.

What's more, Yan Da had been standing behind Wei Lingxiu, watching him laugh so horribly, he dared not refuse.

Who knew that if he didn't accept him, the Yan Conference would beat him?

In one day, Yan Jing did many things. Wei Lingxiu followed behind him, only thinking that his brother Yan was too powerful.

However, he was about to walk out of the city gate... Yan Jing suddenly pulled Wei Lingxiu up, turned around and ran away.

Wei Lingxiu was dragged by him and ran for a long distance, out of breath. When Yan Jing finally stopped, he couldn't help asking, "Huh... Brother Yan, why did you run?"

Yan Jing couldn't say that he just saw his former younger brother.

The original owner was the head of the casino thugs, and the others were his younger brothers.

But at the beginning, the original owner asked his subordinates to trouble Wei Lingxiu and then "heroically save the beauty".

So, just now, I saw my subordinates from a distance, and saw those subordinates who wanted to say hello to me... Yan Jing pulled Wei Lingxiu and ran away.

Yan Jing looked at Wei Lingxiu seriously: "From now on, we will come to the county to study or copy books every day. If we walk back and forth, it will take too much time. It is better to run back and forth."

Wei Lingxiu: "..." Run?Such a long way, let him run?

Yan Jing quickly said: "Of course you don't have to run all the time... You can still walk most of the time, and exchange knowledge while walking."

"Okay." Wei Lingxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Jing said again: "Come on, now you are here to endorse, if you make a mistake, I will remind you!"

Wei Lingxiu: "..."

Wei Lingxiu really didn't like reading, but looking at Yan Jingze's face, he couldn't help but start reciting.
