If it wasn't for the two of them in the study, He Lianqi would have thought that the old man was talking to someone else.

"If your Excellency is short of money, you can go to Ziyun Pavilion in Nancheng to live up to your abilities." The old man suggested.

Helian Qi was confused, "My only strength is writing." Does he have other strengths?

"Haha." The old man laughed heartily, "Your Excellency is really interesting. If you don't want to expose yourself, then you can stay with the old man. You can copy some books on weekdays, one for one tael."

"Just sweeping the ashes?" He Lianqi asked bravely, seeing people were puzzled, he laughed dryly: "I'm not very good at writing with a brush." ​​He only knows how to write with a pen, and... the traditional Chinese used in ancient times, right?

"Huh?" The old man laughed again, "It's okay, if you can organize them well, that's a skill."

Eh?What an amiable grandpa!He Lianqi asked tentatively: "The salary?"

"How about 25 taels a month?"

"what?"

The old man thought for a while, "That's 30 taels, no more."

He Lianqi grinned and almost shed tears, "Okay." 30 taels a month, that year is equal to 360 taels, so the family won't have to worry about it, haha!

"If it's done well, I'll add it later. Here's an agreement and a five-liang deposit. Come here before [-]:[-] every day, and you can close the door and leave at [-]:[-] Yin."

Three o'clock in the morning... eight o'clock in the evening?Yinshi three quarters is five o'clock in the morning, right?

Helian Qi paused, "May I ask the old man, who are we prescribing for?"

"During the day, it's all the students in the city and people who want to read. At night, some people are inconvenient to come here during the day." The old man smiled meaningfully, "Try it, if you can't do it, the five liang of silver is still yours."

He Lianqi felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, he smiled dryly for a while, "I look scary in the middle of the night, haha."

"No problem."

He Lianqi looked at the agreement, what he was concerned about was that the word was in simplified Chinese, so that he would not have to worry about revealing his flaws.

After reading a few articles, He Lianqi didn't find anything unusual. When he saw the back, he was stunned. What do you mean you can accept tips from customers?Also, what the hell is it that you only pay for medical expenses when you beat the disabled or kill you?

This job seems to be not as simple as imagined...

After thinking for a while, He Lianqi threw away all the mess in his mind, he is poor now, he finally found a job, and he gritted his teeth to do it.

Picking up a small writing brush, he wrote his name crookedly, in duplicate, and stamped them all.

"I don't know how to call the old man?"

The old man smiled lightly and said: "I am old and your surname is Bai, and people call it Bai Gu."

"Mr. Bai, the junior will come back at Xushi." Helian Qi bowed to him.

"Haha, Your Excellency thinks highly of me, an old man. This is the key, and when the time comes. If someone makes trouble, there is a black wooden stick at the counter. Don't be polite to them. You can keep the money first." The smile on Bone's lips Worse.

He Lianqi nodded slightly, accepted the money and said: "Thank you Mr. Bai, this junior understands, I will call this junior by name in the future."

Bone smiled and didn't speak.

After saluting again, Helian Qi retreated out, heaving a sigh of relief.

I found a job and went shopping for groceries.With five taels of silver in his pocket, Helian Qi was very happy.

"Owner."

"Who is it?" Helian Qi, who was walking on the road and humming a ditty, just asked.

Hearing others look at him strangely, is this person a fool?

Jiaozi said silently: "Someone is following you."

"Ok?"

After He Lianqi recognized that it was a dumpling, he paused, focused on communicating mentally: "What time is the direction?"

Dumpling: "Three o'clock."

"Robbery?"

"This man's martial arts are extremely high, and after his aura is restrained, I wouldn't be able to detect it unless he was careful. If he hadn't touched the restriction of the study, I wouldn't be sure." Jiaozi pondered.

That would not be robbery.A master can rob so many people on the street, why should he focus on him, who only has fifty or twenty Wen on his body?

"It seems that he has been following for a long time, do I need to get him down?"

The corners of Helian Qi's lips raised, "Don't worry about him, let's continue shopping for vegetables." Humming a little tune, he continued walking.

The people in the dark squinted their eyes and followed quietly.

There were quite a lot of people coming and going in the vegetable market, He Lianqi found a corner stall, and the carrots were quite fresh.

"How much is this a catty?"

The old woman smiled at him, showing her mouth without front teeth, "Not much, three pennies."

"Then two catties." He Lianqi just wanted to ask if there was a bag after picking it up, but suddenly realized that this is ancient times, where is there a plastic bag?

Seeing his distressed expression, the old lady smiled and gave him the empty snakeskin bag next to her, "Is this your first time shopping for groceries? You can take this, and you can put other things in it."

Helian Qi smiled awkwardly, "Thank you."

After weighing him, the old lady added two small peppers and said, "It's exactly two catties, and the price of peppers and radishes is the same."

"It's okay." He Lianqi put the things in the bag, and took seven Wen coins from his pocket to give to her, "Thank you." After saying that, he took the things and left.

"Hey, son, there's an extra penny..." The old lady didn't look back at the person, and immediately realized that it was the money in the bag.

I bought carrots and went to look at the eggs.For the sake of unnecessary trouble, He Lian Qi would buy from the old man who set up a stall in the corner, this is something he was used to before.

After buying eggs, he suddenly saw a place selling kelp over there, and walked over there after being stunned for a while.

"Brother, how do you sell this kelp?" He Lianqi asked with a smile.

The man was taken aback by him suddenly, and there was a bit of impatience in his eyes, "Six cents a catty, do you want it?"

He Lianqi looked into the barrel, and was about to reach out to grab one to see clearly, but the man pushed him away directly, "If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't buy it, get out."

Helian Qi didn't speak, and walked away silently.

The disdainful voice of the man came from behind: "A poor ghost has the nerve to come and buy it, even if he is so ugly, he still wants to touch it, and he doesn't want to think about who will want it after touching it."

This sounds so uncomfortable...

Helian Qi turned his head, stared at that person for a while, then turned and left.After hearing the screams of people killing pigs, I feel happy.

Sensing the outside world, Dumpling frowned slightly in the space. This person's learning ability is a bit scary, how long will it take to be able to use it flexibly?Proper benefits of both direction and volume control.

Changing a stall, He Lianqi asked again: "Master, how do you sell this dried kelp?"

"Five cents a catty."

"One catty." Helian Qi said cheerfully.

The uncle asked him to choose, and after the selection, he would give money, and he left happily.Go buy another piece of pork belly and two meaty bones, and go home when you're done.

Walking on the road with a bag on his back, He Lianqi saw a seller of candied haws and bought five.

"Huh? How do you sell this rouge?" He Lianqi took a box and opened it to smell it. It was a faint peach blossom fragrance.

The stall owner is a fat woman with a cute smile. "Oh, my lord, the one in your hand is Peach Blossom Drunk. It's the most suitable gift for your lover. It only costs ten coins."

"Okay, give me a box."

Seeing that He Lianqi gave the silver very readily, the stall owner blinked, and said with a smile while packing: "Master must like that person very much, right?"

"She is my mother."

The stall owner was slightly stunned and then smiled, "It's the first time I see a son buying rouge for his mother."

"By the way, I still want to buy four hairpins. I wonder if the boss has any recommendations?"

"Four?"

Helian Qi smiled and said, "I have four younger sisters."

"Well, the butterfly style is popular now, do you want the wood one or the jade one?"

"Hmm...it's wooden, can you engrave characters?"

The stall owner smiled and said: "Of course it is possible. There is a jewelry stall near the gate of the city. I know the person. I don't know the craftsmanship, but I have a bit of a temper. After the young master went, he reported my name and said it was Mrs. Wang." Introduce him and it will be clear."

"Then I would like to thank the boss." He Lianqi put Yanzhi in his arms to thank him and left.

When I was approaching the gate of the city, I saw a stall with lifelike carvings, but no one went to buy them.That man was just carving wood carefully, and he looked a little older than him, and his clothes were all patched.

"Boss, how do you sell this hairpin?" He Lianqi asked softly.

After not getting a response for a long time, Helian Qi said again: "Sister-in-law Wang asked me to come."

The man finally stopped what he was doing, and said, "Take whichever one you want."

"No money?" Helian Qi slightly raised his eyebrows.

"Look at it."

He Lianqi put down his things and looked at him with interest, "Then how about I pick four and you can carve a few words for me?"

"If you want to buy it, hurry up and stop talking nonsense." The man said impatiently.

The corners of Helian Qi's lips curled up slightly, and he chose four hairpins that all looked like butterflies but were not the same, "One word for each, Shu, Chu, Zhen, Xue." He wrote it out while holding a branch .

"No more?" The man frowned, "You have so many lovers."

"They are my younger sisters." Helian Qi's eyes were full of smiles.

The man didn't speak, his expression relaxed a bit, he carved with a carving knife at a very fast speed, and finished one in a short while.

He Lianqi picked it up and looked at it, the font was Zanhua Xiaokai, very delicate.It is said that seeing words is like meeting people, and he felt very happy after connecting words with people.

Carve the characters with ease, and then apply a layer of oil wax to complete the work.

"Is ten Wen a stick, plus 45 Wen for processing fee enough?" He Lianqi asked with a smile.

The man paused, "Forty is enough."

"Okay then, I'll buy it from you next time." He Lianqi took out the money and put the hairpin in his arms, and when he was about to leave, he heard the man say: "Feng Feng, Maple Leaf's Feng."

"Helian Qi, that's right, that guy who was beaten half to death in the gambling house, you know him?" He laughed at himself.

Feng Feng frowned, it was difficult to connect this person with the legendary Helian Qi, and when he thought that the rumors were not entirely credible, he was relieved.

Helian Qi didn't hear his reply, so he smiled and left, does this count as having a friend?

Looking at the 45 Wen coins in his hand, Feng Feng frowned slightly.Others said that his things are too expensive for two cents a piece, but this person actually gave 45...

After returning home with a full load, He Lianqi was in a better mood, he still had four, two or five dollars left, so he wanted to save some money.Remembering the work at night, why did he have a gloomy feeling?Illusion?

Hey, the big deal is that if you really encounter a ghost, you will escape the space. The golden finger is here, so I am not afraid.
