Chapter 50 Li Heng's troubles

After Li Heng finished, he went to Qinglian Teahouse with Su Yining and Wang Ruoxi.

Su Yi Ning had nothing to say to Li Heng at first, but seeing Wang Ruoxi staring at Li Heng all the time, she was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she mentioned Su Dongpo's words to him.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it..."

"Okay, okay, don't show off, who doesn't know Su Dongpo's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"! Hurry up and get a pot of West Lake Longjing, I'm just thirsty!" Wang Ruoxi sent Su Yining away impatiently.

Unexpectedly, Li Heng felt a trace of resistance in his heart.

Su Dongpo's poems, West Lake Longjing, the jade pendant that Su Yining looked at just now, and the bracelet that Wang Ruoxi gave him last night were not something he could get easily. With such a person, he felt that he was out of place.

Li Heng looked outside, and said: "I'll go see where Yi Ning has gone." He stood up and wanted to go outside.

Wang Ruoxi hurriedly said, "He's gone to see tea, and he'll be back in a while."

Li Heng had no choice but to sit down again.

Wang Ruoxi's heart was pounding, her cheeks were flushed, and now it was just the two of them here, but she couldn't think of what to say for a while.

"How long have you been working in the bun shop?" Wang Ruoxi tried to think of a topic.

Li Heng's ears turned red, and he said, "It's not long, almost a month."

Wang Ruoxi said: "Are you planning to sell steamed buns all the time? Have you ever thought about studying and taking the imperial examination?"

Li Heng shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in those."

"Oh." Wang Ruoxi nodded.

After being silent for a while, Wang Ruoxi asked again: "Why does your sister live with Zhao Linger?"

Li Heng didn't know how to answer her.

At this moment, he just felt that sitting here was very uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.

He looked outside again, why Su Yining hasn't come back yet.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper asked me to keep accounts for him! I forgot just now! I have to go back!" Li Heng stood up suddenly, and left in a hurry without looking at Wang Ruoxi.

"Hey..." Wang Ruoxi stood up and wanted to hold Li Heng, but she didn't. She followed him to the door, but Li Heng sped up and ran away.

Wang Ruoxi frowned and went back to the cubicle.

Su Yining came in and asked, "Huh? Where's Li Heng?"

Wang Ruoxi pushed her chin with her hand, pouted and said, "He ran away."

"Run away?" Su Yi Ning was taken aback, sat down with a smile, and asked, "What's going on? Did you scare him away?"

Wang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything! I just asked him if he wanted to study and take the imperial examination, and why his sister lived with Zhao Ling'er. Before he said a few words, he said that the shopkeeper had something to do with him. Just run away!"

Su Yi Ning heard this, and said with a smile: "Haha, if it were me, I would run too!"

"Why?" Wang Ruoxi asked puzzled.

"Well... do you understand a man's self-esteem?"

Wang Ruoxi shook her head.

Su Yi Ning said: "Forget it, I know you don't understand. Let's go, I'll go back too."

Wang Ruoxi was no longer in the mood to drink tea, so she had no choice but to leave with Su Yining.

Li Heng ran back to the steamed bun shop in one breath, and lay down on the bed sullenly.

He just felt that he was holding a breath in his heart and couldn't vent it!

what happened?

Why does he have a wave of anger?
read?take an exam?

How could he not be interested?But with his current ability and his current conditions, how can he study with peace of mind?

Ah Yao?

He also wants to buy a yard to live with A Yao!

But what can he do?

You can't drive Zhao Ling'er out and let him live in, can you?
She got it by her ability, what qualifications does he have to go in?
Going on like this is not an option, and it is impossible to achieve anything in a lifetime.

But what should he do?

What can he do?

Zhao Linger!
At the critical moment, he still wanted to hear Zhao Linger's suggestion.

He got up from the bed and walked out of the house, he was going to find Zhao Ling'er.

At this time, Zhao Ling'er had brought back the engraved papers, a total of 20 copies.

Tomorrow, I will ask Zhou You to find out where there are places in Yunzhou City that talk about storytelling, history, and dramas. She will give them all these things.

Squeak!

The courtyard door was pushed open.

Zhao Linger stood up and saw that it was Li Heng.

Why is Li Heng here now?

Zhao Ling'er went out and saw Li Heng's serious expression, frowning slightly, with a preoccupied look.

She hurried over to greet her: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Li Heng recounted what Wang Ruoxi asked him just now, and said, "I really don't know what to do now. If I stay in the bun shop, I will never achieve anything in my life. But if I leave now, I won't even There is no job to live on.”

Zhao Ling'er poured a cup of tea for Li Heng, and comforted him, "It's okay, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. Anyway, working in a steamed bun shop, you won't have much success in your life."

"Then what should I do?"

Zhao Linger thought for a while and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Li Heng replied: "I want to study, I want to take the imperial examination, and I want to see the emperor!"

Zhao Linger smiled and said: "The imperial examination is a very difficult road! Some people have never passed the examination for a lifetime, so what should you do?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't win the exam, as long as you can read, know how to read, and make money by yourself like you."

Heh, Zhao Linger thought: It is not easy to be like me!

"Okay! Of course it's a good thing if you want to study. But there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to study, you must first find a way to support yourself, and you must have money to buy reading materials and utensils. It is best to have a large sum of money." The money is enough for you to go to a private school and invite a teacher." Zhao Linger helped Li Heng manage his thoughts.

"Yeah." Li Heng nodded, and then asked with a sad face, "What can I do to earn such a large sum of money?"

Zhao Linger said: "Don't be impatient! You first think about what you will do."

Li Heng frowned, and said: "I can steam steamed buns, read some simple characters, and help the shopkeeper keep accounts. And... I can also go to the market to sell things! My mother used to weave cloth I was the one who sold it for her!"

"Yes! With these skills, you can earn money to support yourself! You can accumulate enough money in a short time!" Zhao Linger encouraged him.

"But, what can I do?" Li Heng frowned and asked, "I still don't know anything!"

Zhao Linger said: "Do you still remember the crisp Qiongye we ate at Guqiao that day? Can you make that?"

Li Heng thought for a while and said, "I will do that." But immediately said: "How much can you sell in a day? One piece of Crispy Qiong Ye sells for 3 Wen, even if you sell 100 copies a day, it's only 300 Wen!"

"How much do you earn a day now?" Zhao Linger asked.

"Food and housing, 80 yuan a month." Li Heng said to himself, "A steamed bun costs 1 yuan, and honey or sesame oil is added, so it is 2 yuan, and one sells for 3 yuan. If I earn 1 penny and sell 100 pennies a day, then I get 100 penny. A month is 3000 penny, which is 3 taels of silver!"

After Li Heng finished his calculations, he looked at Zhao Ling'er excitedly.

Zhao Linger saw light in his eyes.

Li Heng stood up and counted while walking in the main room: "I'll add some mutton stuffing, bean paste stuffing, steamed buns filled with crab roe, and make some flower rolls..."

"There are also meat buns, and cakes with vegetables! You can do all of these!" Zhao Linger added.

"That's right! Then my business must be fine!" Li Heng looked back at Zhao Ling'er, he was suddenly full of confidence!

However, he thought again, if I leave the steamed bun shop, where will I live?There are also ovens, honey, and sesame oil, which also cost money!
Zhao Linger saw his worry, and said: "You don't have to worry about room and board, I live in a room with A Yao, and you live in a room, there is no problem. As for the oven, I can lend you 10 taels of silver first, and wait for you Pay me back when you have money."
