The little peasant girl of Tianjia is mysterious and sassy

Chapter 8
After the two walked away, Xinghui said happily: "Sister, Shen Zhiyuan's face turned dark just now, and he was so angry."

Xing Nong: "What is this? In the future, you will be admitted as a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi, and he will be even more angry."

Xinghui: "..."

Does his sister think highly of him?

"Sister, do you know that it costs a lot of money to be a scholar?"

Xing Nong didn't care much and said, "How much?"

"Please ask someone to write a letter of recommendation, you need to give gifts, and you need to apply for an exam. At least one tael of silver is required. This is just a scholar, and you have to go to Fucheng to take the exam, and you need more money for accommodation and food."

Xing Nong: "Oh."

Xinghui: "..."

What is this reaction?
I don't know, I thought their family had a lot of silver, so I didn't pay attention to one tael of silver.

God knows that their family has never saved more than five hundred cash.

Xinghui was speechless, forget it, he should review his homework, earn more money in the future, and let his sister see it.

The journey was a bit long, and it took nearly an hour to walk. Xinghui hurriedly did his homework and muttered something.

It's just that I haven't figured it out after a long time of calculation.

Xing Nong: "23 pheasants, [-] rabbits."

Xinghui froze for a moment, "What?"

"Today there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage. There are 35 heads on top and 94 feet on the bottom. Ask: How many pheasants and rabbits? The answer is 23 pheasants and 35 rabbits. There are [-] heads on top." The topic and algorithm are stated.

This is the topic in "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics", which she learned at the age of four.

Xinghui checked it in his heart after listening to it, and it really is true!
Xinghui was extremely surprised: "Sister, how can you do this arithmetic problem?"

In the past, the imperial examination in Chu State did not test arithmetic, but this year the imperial court has a new regulation. Starting from the spring of next year, the imperial examination will take arithmetic.

The students in the academy have only just learned about arithmetic, and no one can figure it out. How could she?
Xing Nong blinked those pretty fox eyes: "I see you doing homework on the ground in front of your house every day, and I'll get used to it after seeing you a lot."

Xinghui: "."

Does this work?
He did teach her simple calculations because she sometimes went to the market to sell things, and he was afraid that she would be cheated.

But he didn't teach other things, and he didn't know much about many things. She watched herself do it, so she learned it?
Xinghui came up with a few more arithmetic questions that he had calculated before to test Xingnong.

Xing Nong answered one by one, and he got the answer in an instant.

Xinghui: "."

He thinks he is very smart and can learn everything quickly, but now he is a little suspicious of life.

When Xinghui doubted his life, Xingnong also thought in his heart, this child is not good at arithmetic!Go back and help him make up.

As the two walked, Xing Nong saw a hunchbacked old man pulling a cart of green bricks, struggling to get up the official road from the path.

Xing Nong immediately stepped forward to help push the cart.

Xinghui also ran over to help.

The old man pulling the cart easily climbed up the slope and entered the official road. He quickly thanked: "Thank you, I still have strength. You are going to the city to sell chickens, right? Go, leave me alone, go to the city early and take a place." Great location."

"No hurry." Xing Nong continued to push.

Xinghui: "Is the uncle going to the city? We happened to be on the way, we are not in a hurry."

"That's so embarrassing, I can do it myself." No matter what the old man said, the two pushed behind, and he hardly had to use any strength, so he could only thank him repeatedly.

A carriage made of gorgeous huanghuali wood just passed by, seeing all this in his eyes.

~

Half an hour later, the county seat arrived. Xing Nong and Xing Hui helped push the cart to the destination, and then parted ways with the two old people's great gratitude. Xing Hui went back to the academy, and Xing Nong went to sell chickens.

Xing Nong found the largest restaurant and went up.

This restaurant has a good reputation, even the original owner has heard of it, but she dare not approach it.

It's still early, and there are no customers. The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw her, came up to greet her, and said politely, "Miss, are you here to sell old hens?"

Although the restaurant has a special Zhuangzi to raise chickens, they will still accept the good chickens sent by the villagers. After all, the restaurant's business is good.

Xing Nong nodded: "Please tell the shopkeeper how much this chicken can sell for?"

"Let me see how heavy it is." The shopkeeper took out a scale and began to weigh the chicken.

"This old hen looks good. There are five catties and nine taels, 25 Wen per catty, and it is calculated as six catties. How about giving you 150 Wen?"

25 Wen is the best price. Generally, the price of an old hen is 23 to 25 Wen.

When you meet someone who is mean, you only give 23 Wen a catty, but this restaurant has always been innocent.

"Okay." Xing Nong nodded.

The shopkeeper took out a string of money and gave Xing Nong half a string of money.

"Thank you shopkeeper." Xing Nong took it and stuffed it into his pocket without counting.

"Shopkeeper, does the restaurant buy recipes?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, our restaurant has a special cook who studies the dishes. I can't afford to mess with that cook! Don't dare to buy outside recipes."

Xing Nong nodded: "Farewell."

The shopkeeper didn't expect that she didn't say anything, but she had a wink and said with a smile: "Miss, go slowly, if you have old hens or other good mountain products, you can sell them."

"Okay." Xing Nong replied.

The shopkeeper personally sent Xing Nong out of the restaurant, and then took the chicken to the kitchen for his tigress. When the master came, he would make soup for him to nourish his body.Old hens that have been raised for so many years are also rare.

~
Xing Nong walked out of the Yingbin building, originally planning to find a restaurant recruiting cooks to sell recipes to earn money, but when she passed the study, she saw a wooden sign outside the study that said to buy a large number of various scripts.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but walked in.

There were quite a few people dressed as scholars in the study, and when everyone saw her walking in in tattered clothes, they all looked at her in surprise, and what's more, disgust flashed in their eyes. They held books, covered their noses, and looked further inside. go.

Someone even yelled: "Shopkeeper, the beggars have all gone into the study, and if you don't send them away, it will affect my son's reading!"

Someone said loudly: "The visitor is a guest, and scholars should be more polite!"

"Shut up for me!"

Then no one said anything.

Poor people can't afford to read books. Generally, the people who come to the study are from rich and noble families. Whoever's clothes are not bright and bright, even if they are not, there will be no patches.

Xing Nong had to be a woman, indeed, such a person had never been in the study.

The shopkeeper was an old man in his 60s and [-]s, with a bookish look and an extraordinary bearing. He stood up without any surprise on his face, but said politely, "What do you need, girl?"

Xing Nong stood there calmly, "Pointing to the sign at the door, do you accept scripts here?"

"Come on, what storybook does the girl have? I'll decide the price after reading the story."

"Can I write here? I don't have pen, ink, paper and inkstone at home." Xing Nong said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Pfft." A few laughs came from the study.

See you a long time!
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Madam, please come with me."

He brought Xing Nong into a small study room, which is specially used for those who write and copy books.

~
Two hours later, it was already lunch time, and there were no other guests in the academy.

The shopkeeper changed from his polite and bookish manner just now, after sending Xing Nong away enthusiastically, he ran back in a hurry, holding a thick stack of scriptures, as if he had found a treasure, he couldn't put it down, excitedly, but cautiously flipped through it back and forth!
wonderful!

wonderful!

After a long time, he touched the words on it that were flamboyant and natural, free and easy but also swaying!
Even if this character is not sold in scripts, it will definitely sell well if it is made into copybooks!

Make big money!

Make big money!
