Village Flowers and Female Scholars

Because she was carrying something, Zhuang Wan followed to Xie Yan's house first.

After placing the things neatly, Xie Yan instructed his younger brother, "Gu'er take the bones and go cook for mother at Sister Xiucai's house. Let's have dinner together at night."

When Xie Yuangu heard this, without waiting for Zhuang Wan and the others, he ran towards the dealer with a pack of bones.

Xie Yan told the story and carried things all the way, and sat in the yard to rest for a while before saying to Zhuang Wan: "After listening to the story, do you have any thoughts now?"

Zhuang Wan stared at her with bright black eyes and said, "I never knew that people's dreams could be so long and so thin."

Xie Yan's heart skipped a beat and he said: "Actually, I dreamed about it a few days ago. When I was young, I loved listening to the old people in the village telling stories about monsters, so I made it up myself, and finally became like this. Xiu Cai thinks the story is not good enough?"

"Okay, that's great. I can write down your dream and polish it. How do you want to share it then?"

Xie Yan thought for a while and said: "To tell you the truth, I have loved to dream since I was a child. There are at least a hundred dreams like the one I told you today. If it can be done, it will be a long-term business. I think it’s more secure to talk about the share now, which means I provide the material and you edit and write it, how about a [-]-[-] share?”

Zhuang Wan pondered for a while, and was a little undecided: "Actually, [-]-[-]% is for the higher self. I'm just a ghostwriter. If you want to find someone to write, you can't do it!"

Xie Yan didn't expect this female talent to be so sincere, but for her, Zhuang Wan is irreplaceable to her at present. He kept the ginseng sale from the women in the village, the homestead incident, and later when the family was separated and lived in a straw shed. In business, the most important thing is the character of the partner.

The other one is talent, Zhuang Wan's handwriting is beautiful, and according to her observation, it's not that Zhuang Wan can't make up stories, she just doesn't have a good theme and story outline, even if I tell these plots one by one today, when I actually write them down It still needs to be conceived, polished, etc., and a lot of work needs to be wasted, but I directly copied the results of others and told a story. In terms of energy and cost, I definitely took advantage.

Can't help feeling a little guilty.

Then he said: "I took advantage of you for [-] to [-] points, and you have worked very hard to write. At that time, the expenses for these pens, ink, paper and inkstones will be deducted from the income, and the rest will be used for points. Four or six points, I will give you four points." six."

Zhuang Wan didn't think so. Over the years, she had tried to write some scripts, but she always felt that she couldn't open her mind. The owner of the bookstore also felt that there was no new idea and the readability was not strong. She refused. Now she writes by herself. In fact, it’s a job similar to Yu’s copying scripts. Even if it’s five or five cents, she thinks it’s cheap for her, but now her situation is not optimistic. Shaking his head, he said, "Let's open fifty-five."

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, Xie Yan could only nod her head.

Unexpectedly, the scholar turned around, saluted her solemnly, and said, "Thank you for taking care of Mrs. Jin."

Xie Yan had never received such a big gift before, but seeing this female scholar being so respectful, she hurriedly straightened her expression and returned the gift, "You and Granny Yu have never been formally thanked for your kindness in taking care of me before, so I dare not accept this big gift. It's just helping each other, I hope what we are planning can go smoothly."

Xie Yan said so, but in fact, he already had some other thoughts in his heart, especially on the way back from the bookstore today, his mind has been spinning crazily, including the compilation of the Liaozhai series of stories, and seeking related cooperation other than the bookstore , to maximize the benefits, even including printing.

And all of this can be planned, I am afraid that it is inseparable from the female scholar in front of me.

"Then it's settled. I'll start writing "Legend of Xin Shi Shi Niang" when I go back today. If there are some plots that need to be deliberated, I will come to you. If there are no other things to disturb, I may finish it in about five days."

Hearing what she said, Xie Yan calculated silently in her heart. According to Zhuang Wan's stance of wanting money and not dying, now that private schools are no longer available, she probably spends most of the day writing, but the calligraphy is written without a pen. Words are fast, plus ideas and plot settings, the limit should be [-] to [-] words a day. It is still feasible to finish a short story of [-] to [-] words in five days, but it will also be exhausting.

Thinking of her sleepless nights and meals because of Granny Yu's illness during this time, and looking at her thin shoulders, her eyes that were originally black and full of energy were also stained with fatigue, Xie Yan felt distressed for no reason.

He persuaded: "The matter of the script is long-term, and you can't ruin your body just for the sake of immediate interests."

A 15-year-old girl originally had a clear voice, but now Xie Yan's eyes turned into a soft stream of pity and flowed into her heart, and even her voice became a bit unsuitable for her age. Zhuang Wan seemed to be scalded, when she answered The voice couldn't help trembling.

"The price of the story book is related to the length of the story. Today, the story can be divided into three volumes, one volume is designed to be about a hundred pages. If it is recognized as a high-quality story book, one volume will also have an income of three taels of silver. There is also one or two taels of silver for the lower class. For three volumes, it ranges from three to nine taels. When I first wrote it, I slowed down a bit. I wrote a volume in ten days and finished it in about a month. I will make adjustments later when I become proficient. ,what do you think?"

"Well, let's arrange it like this first, and I will work hard for you later."

After Xie Yan sent Zhuang Wan out, she began to organize the things she bought today.

In my house, there is a mattress covered by a quilt, and Cao E has neatly hung up my clothes in the cabinet for me before, and with the few pieces I made later, I now have five or six sets of clothes that can be changed, washed, and worn. There is no shortage of aspects.

Now that I have all the bedding, I can go back to sleep in my own room tonight.

The personal space that I have been looking forward to for a long time is finally available. Xie Yan slumped comfortably on the chair, looking around at her own room.

It's just a bed, a table, a chair, and a cabinet. The walls are neat and thick, and the roof is also very distinctive. It looks very solid, but it's too empty. There is not even a decorative painting. I thought that when I got rich, I would put the whole sofa In the house, the sofa is not simple?Find a carpenter to build a bench frame, and then find some cloth cushions to pad it with cotton, so you can sit comfortably on it.

As for the wall decoration, Zhuang Wan's handwriting is so good-looking, so I asked her to write a few calligraphy and paintings to hang in the house, and a thatched cottage with literary and artistic characteristics will be decorated.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel happy.

The remaining quilt was taken to Cao E's room. Now that Xie Yuangu is still young, most families start sleeping in separate beds when they are five or six years old. However, some family conditions do not allow it, and some delay it. It's just that Xie Yuangu's situation is different. With his current personality, he would cry in fear if he slept alone. It seemed that he would have to share the same room with his mother for another year or two before he could sleep by himself.

Cao E's bed is made of earth kang, which can be burned when the weather is colder, and it is cool and comfortable in summer.

Xie Yan is from the south and is not used to sleeping on a kang, so they didn't let them build a kang in the house. When it snowed in winter, they couldn't bear to come and squeeze with Cao E and the others.

The newly bought pot reached the kitchen, and the other side of the kitchen is the bathing place. Xie Yan planned to have a big wash tonight. After passing through for a few days, today she finally realized the freedom of bathing, and she immediately felt relieved.

After packing up these things, Xie Yan put the big lock on the door and locked it, and walked towards the dealer with ease.

It was only a few steps away, but because of the cheerful mood, even the bristlegrass on the side of the road looked very moving.

However, as soon as they walked outside the yard, they heard a violent quarrel coming from inside the house.

It's a quarrel, but it's better that one party's voice directly crushes the other's voice, accompanied by the crying of children and the barking of dogs.

When Xie Yan heard this, she thought it was bad. She didn't know who the scholar had offended again. She was directly bullied into the house. In the past, Po Yu's temperament was not a soft persimmon. It's just that she happened to be ill these two days, and she couldn't even speak at this time. It's hard work, how can I get into a fight with others, let alone my mother who can't get a fart with three punches, since she can remember, she hasn't heard Cao E say a word out loud.

Xie Yan rushed into the yard in three steps and took two steps. The woman who caught her eyes was Xiao Zhang, a woman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and her husband, He Laosan, who was afraid of guilt, stood beside her, but the couple were not a good match People with love have always liked to take advantage of others.

I only heard Xiao Zhang say: "The land in your family is half good and half bad, but the rent is collected according to the good fields. A few years ago, the third son of our family was kind-hearted and paid the rent honestly. The good fields are barely worth it. , but if the inferior fields are so evenly opened, it will be a big loss, and renting land for farming will not only make you hungry, but also pay you back, what kind of reason is this.”

At this time, Zhuang Wan was standing in front of Granny Yu, her tall figure could barely regain the place.

But the woman in front of him responded with every sentence, no matter whether she was reasonable or not, the voice was loud enough, the three people on the opposite side couldn't intervene at all, and felt that the entire combat power was weak and scum.

Only then did Xie Yan truly understand the scene where Xiucai met Bing Youli and couldn't explain this sentence.

Xie Yan coughed lightly, and Xiao Zhang turned her head. Seeing that it was the granddaughter who was kicked out by the Cao family and was not treated well, her eyes were full of disdain, and she ignored her. One shot.

Xie Yan couldn't help it now, and raised her voice: "Sister-in-law Zhang is here this time to cancel the rent?"

Just now I heard the general idea, and I just want to take advantage of the fact that the banker is not in power now, and take the opportunity to suppress the land rent.

As soon as He Laosan heard Xie Yan say the word "retirement rent", a flustered expression appeared on his face. He was about to speak, but was glared at by Mrs. Zhang at the side, and quickly closed his mouth resentfully and stood behind Don't even dare to fart.

The little woman said unhappily to Xie Yan: "What's your business? Is it your turn to speak? The farmer's land, the low-grade field is so difficult to grow, except that our youngest is kind and wants to help their grandchildren Two, who wants to plant that corner of the land."

Xie Yan sneered and said, "If you think the land is not viable, you can just quit the rent, so what's the noise?"

After speaking, he blinked at Zhuang Wan.

Zhuang Wan instantly understood what she meant, and then said unhurriedly: "Since Mrs. Zhang doesn't want to plant our land, then let's quit the rent. It just so happens that the autumn harvest is over now, and there are no plants in the field, so next year there will be no trouble." You have helped our grandparents and grandchildren."

Xiao Zhang didn't expect things to develop in this direction. In the past few days, because of the rumors that Zhuang Wan and Fang Wenbo had eloped, the whole village was full of uproar, and the children in the village were unwilling to send her to private schools. The third child is unwilling to plant, and no one will take over. When the time comes, with a few words and threats, these two people will not rush to lower the rent and beg their husband and wife to plant.

But who would have thought that a little slut who didn't know what to do would come and mess up the matter.

"Where did you come from, little bitch, is it your turn to intervene here? No wonder the Xie family kicked you out. Even the Cao family can't tolerate you. It's really annoying."

The flames of war spread to Xie Yan's side all of a sudden, Zhuang Wan saw her mouth full of dung, and her evaluation of Xie Yan was so ugly, her face turned cold, and she said coldly: "Shut up, don't scold her, don't rent Get out."

Xiao Zhang never expected that the always gentle and indifferent female scholar would become tyrannical. Her mouth, which was originally eloquent, fell silent instantly, but her face was still full of anger.

After traveling for so long, Xie Yan has faced almost all kinds of situations, but Zhuang Wan is the only one who can stand up to help her withstand the gunfire. Today, such a big fire is all caused by herself. Thinking of this, I can't help but Her heart was overflowing with tenderness, her eyes stared at her right and left, and there was a tenderness in her eyes that she didn't realize.

Zhuang Wan said with a cold face: "This year's rent is also cleared, and our land will not be rented to your family from today on."

Little Zhang panicked at this time, and quickly said in a soft tone: "Niece Wan'er, in fact, the field can still be planted, and no one is willing to plant it after you take it back. Do you want to put it there and keep the long grass?"

"Don't bother my sister-in-law to worry about it, please go back."

Hearing Zhuang Wan's indifferent voice, He Laosan hurriedly stepped forward and begged: "Scholars, they are all from the village, so don't worry about your aunt, let's keep this land for our family to grow, don't just grab the land just to fight for it." It's a waste."

"Uncle, it's not that I care about it, it's that you rented our land, and then ran to the door to make irresponsible remarks, and bullied our grandparents and grandchildren, how can I be generous, that's it, this matter There's no need to talk anymore."

After speaking, he turned his back and refused to communicate.

Seeing that he was powerless, He Laosan had no choice but to pull his angry mother-in-law out of the door, and complained in a low voice: "It's all your fault, I said not to come, you insisted on coming, because you are greedy for such a little rent." My son, it's all right now, only the mountainous land of Hu Manzi's house at the head of the village is not willing to plant..."

Hearing that the two of them left cursing and leaving, Zhuang Wan was visibly relieved.

At this time, a girl's familiar voice came from behind: "Zhuang Xiucai, let us rent out your land."

The author has something to say: Xie Yan: Babe, today I made a big fuss at others, happy

Zhuang Wan: If you dare to scold my partner in front of me, treat me as dead
