Chapter 22 Gaining Fame

Shopkeeper He invited Xing Nong to a bright and spacious study.

This study room is much better than the hut yesterday, and all the furniture in the room are made of high-quality rosewood.

Desk, bookshelf, everything is complete.

"From now on, this will be Ms. Shen's special study room. From now on, no second person will use this study room. Ms. Shen, don't worry about writing your story books here! It doesn't matter how long you write. There is also a room inside, and you can stay here at night. rest."

Xing Nong nodded indifferently, "Trouble shopkeeper. I just write for a while and leave. I can go to any room, no special preparation is required."

Shopkeeper He saw that Xing Nong was so indifferent towards the study, he couldn't help but look at it differently, and he felt a little more settled.

There are quite a few students from poor families who come to write books, but after some achievements, they are given a special room, and it is rare that they can be so indifferent and not surprised.

Especially for someone her age.

What a nice kid.

Shopkeeper He's tone was a little more caring than before, "I have the four treasures of the study ready. There are tea, snacks and some fresh fruit on the table over there. If you are hungry or thirsty, you can eat it. If you want something If it doesn’t suit your appetite or if you have any requirements, just pull the rope by the window sill, and someone will come over. Just tell her what you need. Don’t be polite to Uncle He.”

Xing Nong has come to the desk, she nodded: "Thank you, shopkeeper."

"Then I won't hinder you. You can call me if you need anything."

Xing Nong thought of something and said: "Shopkeeper, can today's deposit be exchanged for a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone and two books of arithmetic? It's for beginners, it doesn't need to be too good."

"Okay, I'll pick a set for you right now." The shopkeeper responded and went out.

Without delay, Xing Nong picked up his pen and began to write.

She really didn't care about this temporary office.

Everything in this room is good and first-class, but in her previous life, as a special scientific researcher, she had better things.

Xing Nong only stayed in the study for an hour and a half this time, and left after writing [-] words.

Because I thought about the plot last night, I wrote it faster today than yesterday.

The shopkeeper gave Xing Nong a box and a purse.

Seeing her stuffing the silver nude directly into her pocket yesterday, he didn't know that she didn't have a purse, so he gave the silver nun directly, and today he specially prepared a purse without any patterns.

"Girl Xingnong, I've prepared the Four Treasures of the Study you asked for just now and two books of arithmetic. They are all in the box. There are eight taels in total. The remaining two taels are in the purse, and there is also a copy of Qian's Bank in this purse." If you have a pair of cards, I will directly deposit the bonuses of Huaben in the bank in the future, and you can go to Qian's bank with the right cards to get the silver. If you have a bonus, it will be available at the end of next month."

It was agreed yesterday that every time a [-]-word script is handed in, a deposit of [-] taels will be paid first, and when there are bonuses, more will be deducted and less will be made up.

Xing Nong took it, put the box of Four Treasures of the Study into the basket, and then left.

After leaving the study, Xing Nong planned to go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth and make clothes, shoes and socks at home.

There is not a single piece of clothing in the house that is not worn.

She found a cloth shop nearby and walked in.

The cloth shop is very large, and there are several maidservants who sell cloth. They glanced at Xing Nong who came in and looked away. They either took care of the original customers, or pretended not to see them, and arranged the cloth.

Only a maid came forward and said with a smile: "What do you want to buy, girl? Ordinary satin is here, and coarse linen is over there. After you choose it, tell me how much you want, and I will have someone cut it for you."

Xing Nong originally wanted to buy fine cotton cloth. Cotton cloth is highly hygroscopic and breathable, suitable for doing farm work, but he did not find fine cotton cloth, linen and coarse cloth, which were too rough and uncomfortable to wear.

But after looking around, she didn't find any cotton cloth, so she realized that the original owner didn't seem to have seen cotton.

The rough clothes on his body were really uncomfortable.

She picked out a sky blue after rain, a dark blue and a white one among the satin.

"I want these three."

The satin Xingnong chose is thick and dense, and it is woven with a mixture of hemp. The content of hemp is higher, and it is much more comfortable than pure linen and coarse cloth, so it is the first choice of ordinary people.Work is not in the way, practical.

It's not expensive, five hundred wen for a whole horse.

The maid was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay! What else does the girl need?"

Xing Nong went to the coarse linen clothes, planning to pull a few feet back to make aprons, sleeve covers, cloth bags and other things.

"Is there any black linen? Tear it for me."

"Yes, it's just sold out here, I'll go in and tear it up for you," the maid put the three pieces of cloth that Xing Nong picked aside, and hurried in to cut the cloth.

Shen Mingzhu and Yao shi walked in at this time.

Shen Mingzhu was taken aback when she saw Xing Nong.

They originally planned to report to the officials today, but they didn't expect that the county magistrate was not here, the new county magistrate hadn't taken office yet, the original county magistrate had left, and the yamen had a day off.

Let this bastard enjoy himself for another day or two.

Xing Nong didn't even give them a look, she stood there waiting for the maid to cut the cloth.

Shen Mingzhu saw Xing Nong standing in front of the coarse linen clothes, thinking of what she said just now, she subconsciously thought of gaining fame!

There are many people in the cloth village, isn't it a good opportunity to gain fame?

A kind-hearted and beautiful rich lady bought cloth and met poor and ugly relatives, she didn’t look down on her, and she kindly gave the cloth as a gift. Wouldn’t it be a good reputation to spread the word?
Just spend a few dozen pennies, and treat it as a beggar.

What's more, every time I say I want to give her something, she doesn't want it, but she has a bit of backbone.

So when there are outsiders around, she also likes to be nice to her on purpose to earn some fame.

Anyway, it's just lip service, and there's no need to give it away.

She walked towards Xing Nong with graceful lotus steps, and said with a surprised face: "Cousin Xing Nong is really you? Are you here to buy fabrics too? What do you like? I will give it to you after I pick it. Don't refuse this time." Already!"

cousin?Everyone in the store froze for a moment.

Only then did Xing Nong look at her: "Oh, I want these three bolts of satin and two feet of linen."

Shen Mingzhu: "."

Shouldn't wild species be rejected?How did you agree?
Yao saw that Xing Nong actually picked satin, and he picked three pieces of satin, which cost more than one or two taels of silver!She was so angry that her temples throbbed.

Simply a lion's mouth!
Satin is considered to be worn by people from better families. She is a bastard whose father is unknown, why should everyone despise her?

The most important thing is why should they give a few bolts of satin to a wild plant? What good would it do them to give her?
Mrs. Yao glanced at the maid beside her, who immediately understood, and said loudly: "Some people are so greedy, they obviously picked linen, but when they heard someone say give it away, they immediately picked three pieces of satin! Even if my lady is kind-hearted , it can't be like this!"

There are still many customers in the store, and everyone looked over after hearing the words.
