If the family had no money, Qin An would have no way to treat his daughter-in-law. His heart was complicated, but his expression did not show, "Can I find it? We have money."

The doctor sighed and said, "The century-old Ganoderma lucidum is probably only available in the capital. I'll ask someone and I'll give you an answer in seven or eight days. For now, I'm using ordinary Ganoderma lucidum to treat it."

"You have to be prepared mentally, and you may not be able to cure it."

"Treat." Qin An didn't hesitate at all.

The doctor nodded, "Okay, I'll give you a prescription, and you go to the drug store to get it."

After the doctor left, Su Yan looked at Qin An, "Is it difficult to treat?"

Qin An shook his head, took a pen and ink and wrote it to her: It's easy to cure, the doctor prescribed the medicine, and I have to drink it for a month.

"Don't lie to me. If you can't hear, you can't hear. Don't worry about it."

Su Yan is not big-hearted and there is nothing she can do to cure her. Qin An has nothing to do either, so it is better not to worry about it.

Qin An wrote firmly: It can be cured, the doctor said.

It's just that money is expensive.

Su Yan is still worried about spending too much money. Now she can't hear, and she can't go out to do business for the time being. The money at home has to be kept for Qin An's study, and the family's expenses, "How much do you want?"

Qin An: No matter how expensive it is, it must be cured.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Yan knew it wasn't a matter of tens of taels of silver, and she didn't say anything, just thinking about how she could make money when she was deaf.

"it is good."

Thinking about making money, she went to the house and got a pen and ink to draw the hairpin drawings. She drew four drawings in two or three hours.

After drying, she handed it to Qin An, "Take it out and ask if you have time."

After she finished speaking, she saw Er Dan looking at her from the side, and she said softly, "What's wrong?"

Er Dan climbed onto the stool, knelt beside her, and blew gently into her ear, as if it would be cured by blowing this way.

Su Yan couldn't help laughing, and felt warm in her heart, "It's okay, I'll be fine after a while."

Qin An glanced at the two of them, then turned to Cuilan and told Cuilan, "I'm going out to look at home."

After that, he left.

First, I went to the hairpin shop to sell drawings. The owner liked the style of Su Yan's paintings and bought four of them for 80 taels of silver.

"Next time I still have some, just take it directly, I think the pattern is quite unique."

"it is good."

Qin An collected the money and went to the bookstore. When the shopkeeper saw him coming, he said happily: "Has the book been copied?"

"No."

Qin An paused for a moment, and said again: "Did you find anyone about what you said last time?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper signaled him to go to the inner room, and when the door was closed, he said: "Are you going to do it?"

"En." Qin An said in a low voice.

The shopkeeper said happily: "I haven't found it yet."

"How many copies do you want to copy?"

Qin An said in a low voice: "Give me as much as you have?"

"Success, I'll get it."

The shopkeeper took out seven or eight books from the cabinet and handed them to him, and said, "Keep them carefully and don't let the ink drip when you copy them."

"I'll give you ten taels of silver for the thick ones, and eight taels of silver for the thin ones. You can copy as many copies as you can, and hand in the books every three days."

Ordinary books are not so expensive. These are filthy books that cannot be circulated, that is, books that scholars look down on the most.

But it's also secretly the best-selling book.

He had asked Qin An before he copied the book, but Qin An was unwilling.

Qin An said "hmm" and waited for him to wrap it up before carrying it out. As soon as he went out, he met several colleagues from the academy. They glanced at him without saying hello to each other.

Seeing the tall man walk away, one of the men said: "What book is he holding? Let's take it back and read it."

Several people nodded and went into the bookstore to ask the shopkeeper. The man in lake blue clothes on the left said: "Shopkeeper, give us a copy of the book Qin An took just now."

The shopkeeper asked why: "He didn't read that book."

Afraid of offending a few people, he leaned closer and whispered, "It's that kind of book. He'll take it back and copy it."

Immediately, several people showed contemptuous eyes, and a man said: "Fortunately, I am still a scholar, so I do such lowly things."

"Usually, he looks condescending, so I'll tell others to see how he's still snarky."

"I told you that Qin An's family is poor. You still didn't believe it. Now you should."

……

In the middle of the night, after his wife and children fell asleep, Qin An went to the study quietly, closed the door and took out the books.

The first page he opened was full of dirty words, Qin An looked normal and copied it with a pen.

If it were another person, this would have been abnormal.

It was almost dawn, and he got up and went back to lie down in the house. After half an hour, he got up again and went to the kitchen to cook medicine and cook.

When Su Yan noticed that he hadn't slept much, it was in the middle of the night on the third day. She got up and went to the hut and subconsciously touched Qin An.

nobody.

She thought she had gone to the latrine like him, so she got up and opened the door. There was no light in the latrine, but the light in the study was on.

The candlelight cast a dark shadow from the half-opened window, Su Yan was in a complicated state of mind, she gently opened the door and went in.

Qin An raised his head subconsciously, seeing her, his whole body froze, he got up and walked over, his tall body covering the table.

Su Yan naturally had a huge gap. He didn't want her to see it. He paused slightly and did not continue walking, "Does the academy have a lot of homework?"

Qin An nodded, put his arm around her shoulders and walked out, pointing in the direction of the toilet.

Su Yan nodded, looking at him from the corner of her eye, it would be obscure, but his tiredness was clearly visible.

"My ears seem to be able to hear a little bit. I heard the sound of the gong just now."

At this time, the watchman would hit the gong with his gong.
Qin An turned to look at her with complicated eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

No one is updating this one.

……

Early in the morning, Qin An went to the mountains to cut firewood. It's getting colder, so he needs to stock up on firewood, otherwise it will be expensive to buy dry firewood in winter.

Zhang Xiu was cleaning at home, and just about to go to the study, Su Yan held her back, "There's no need to clean the study, go and clean the others."

Zhang Xiu nodded. Su Yan watched her go to the main room before pushing open the study room and walking in. There was no longer a book on the table.

She glanced around and finally bent down to look at the locked wooden box under the table.

Although he didn't know what kind of book he copied, but he avoided letting her read it, it was not an ordinary book.

She didn't plan to open the wooden box, turned around and led the door out, "I'm going to the shop."

Cuilan came out holding Tuantuan and wanted to go with her. Su Yan was afraid that Tuantuan would be cold, so she shook her head and said, "If you don't go, I'll be at the perfume shop. When the master comes back, I'll ask him to look for me."

The perfume shop has not been here for several days, and they have a lot of goods in stock.

If you don't sell it, you won't be able to sell it in a few days.

Cuilan still wanted to follow, so Su Yan said: "Sister Cui, I just can't hear."

Even if she is deaf, she is capable of supporting a family.

perfume shop
It had not been opened for some days and there was some dust. Su Yan took the rag and wiped it inside and out. When she looked up, she saw several ladies looking at her at the counter.

It seems to have called her.

She walked over and said with a smile, "Sorry, I can't hear. Please point out what you want to see."

Suddenly several ladies were a little surprised and wanted to ask what was going on, but they thought she couldn't hear him.

Su Yan understood what they meant and explained: "Something happened, but it's okay. The one in the white porcelain bottle is scented with osmanthus, and the pink one is still scented with lotus. The scent of osmanthus is slightly stronger, and the longer the fragrance lasts, it's also winter."

After saying that, he took out a bottle and gave it to them to smell.

The ladies kindly gestured for a few bottles with their fingers, and Su Yan felt a little grateful, but she was also a little worried that these ladies would not cooperate.

We still have to find someone to watch over here.

I could still be here before, but now it's not very convenient.

When Qin An came, Su Yan had already sent away three waves of people. When she saw him, she smiled and said, "Business is quite good today. My husband, please help me pack the tea cups."

Qin An nodded, picked up the stool and put it in place, then packed the teacups and threw them into the wooden barrel outside.

At this time, shopkeeper Xiao who was opposite came back, and nodded a little embarrassedly, "Master."

Qin An nodded, "Tell me what's going on."

"The other day, the boss's wife asked me to come over and be the shopkeeper. Do you still want me? If you want, I'll come and start working tomorrow." Shopkeeper Xiao has been having a hard time these days. There is no business, so Mrs. Qi pointed at his nose and cursed.

Yesterday, the one said that the money was wrong and suspected that he had stolen the money, so he didn't want to do it for the Qi family.

The salary is low, and it’s okay to be a little tired. It’s not comfortable to trouble him all day long.

It can be said that he has done his best for the Qi family.

Seeing shopkeeper Xiao coming over, Su Yan knew that she must have agreed, and she didn't go out, just let Qin An tell him.

After a while, Qin An came in, took a pen and ink and wrote: Agreed, come to work tomorrow.

"Okay, I will take care of Tuan Tuan at home tomorrow, and you can go to the academy to study. By the way, go buy some bean sprouts and cook them for cold salad at home." Su Yan said.

Qin An took a pen and wrote again: Okay, don't go out at the shop, and you'll be back in a while.

Su Yan smiled and stretched out her hand to fix his collar, "I just heard it with my ears, and nothing else. I could hear a little bit of what I said just now."

"I guess it will be fine after a while."

He gave him a tael of silver while talking, "Buy some snacks for Er Dan and the others."

Qin An didn't expose her, he just raised his hand to play with her hair, nodded and went out.

Seeing people coming and going outside, Su Yan sat on the stool and sighed, she couldn't hear a single sound.

Naturally it is worry.

But I didn't think too much about it, I can only let nature take its course, and now the main thing is to adjust my mentality.

If she sighed and sighed by herself, Qin An would feel even worse.

She took a pen and paper to count the inventory. Not long after counting, she saw a few scholars coming in from the corner of her eye. She greeted, "Look around."

The eyes of the scholars rested on her face, Su Yan turned her side slightly, and one of the scholars said, "Do you know that your father-in-law copied dirty books?"

Su Yan could understand her husband's mouth movements and immediately understood that they were not here to buy anything, but to cause trouble.

Immediately afterwards, the scholar said: "Tell him not to come to the academy to study, it will embarrass us."

"If you don't have money, you can't do that kind of thing. It's really despicable."

From his unkind expression, Su Yan could probably guess that he said something bad. She grabbed the porcelain bottle in front of him and threw it on him, and said coldly: "I can't hear, I don't know what you said about my husband-in-law." Not good, but there will be no next time."

"Next time I talk about my husband, I will spend money to find someone to trouble you."

She paused, "You are no better than my husband."

Immediately, the faces of several scholars turned red. They were indeed not as good as Qin An, otherwise they wouldn't have trouble with him.

The scholar said angrily, "I'm not good at studying, but I won't copy those filthy books. It's spread all over the academy. If your husband doesn't come to the academy, he's ashamed to come."

"I copy dirty books, my wife is a widow and deaf." After speaking, he looked at Su Yan contemptuously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the collar was grabbed tightly, and the next moment, he was thrown out.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon several other scholars reacted and ran out quickly.

Qin An walked out with a bag of sprouts in his hand and said with sharp eyes, "I told you not to cause trouble at my wife's place."

"Otherwise I will kill you."

He said this on purpose, these people always don't take it seriously.

I can't let my wife get hurt anymore.

Several scholars did not dare to speak, supported each other and left.

The spectators heard them talking and watched Qin An pointing.

"You actually copied filthy books! It doesn't look like you're short of money."

"Even if you can't copy that kind of book."

"Yes, if my husband-in-law copied this kind of book, we wouldn't even dare to leave the house."

Qin An glanced at him, didn't say anything, turned around and went into the shop again, his eyes signaled Su Yan would she go back?
Su Yan looked away from the door, fell on Qin An, and said seriously: "There is no shortage of money at home, so don't look for work outside."

Yesterday he didn't let her see it, but now a scholar from the academy came to find him. It was probably because Qin An had made money that others looked down upon.

Qin An shook his head without a trace of hesitation, and wrote with pen and ink: Didn't look for a job, are you going home?

Seeing that he refused to say anything, Su Yan did not continue to ask. She packed up the money cabinet, locked it, and went back with him.

As soon as they came in, Zhang Xiu picked up Er Dan and came back. Zhang Xiu subconsciously glanced at Qin An, then at Su Yan, and quickly went to collect the clothes in the yard.

When Qin An and Su Yan went to work in the kitchen, Zhang Xiu found Cuilan and said in a low voice, "I heard on the road today that Grandpa copied dirty books, do you want to tell Madam?"

Cuilan was a little surprised. She was silent for a while and shook her head: "The master must have his reasons for doing that."

"The doctor also said that day that the hundred-year-old ganoderma lucidum would cost thousands of taels of silver, and I guess it's short of silver."

"He's hiding it from his wife. She must not let him do it. We'll just take care of the child."

Zhang Xiu nodded, "I see, I'm worried that this will not be good for the master's reputation, he is a scholar."

"When Madam finds out, will she blame us for not telling us?"

"Master knows in his heart that sometimes fame is not as important as money." Cuilan has also seen these days that Qin An really has some affection for Su Yan.

No man would be able to do this and give up his great future to take care of his wife and children at home.

Zhang Xiu naturally noticed it too, knowing that when his wife was picked up by the bandits, the master's face was pale.

At that time, she realized that if the madam disappeared, the master would go with her.

"it is good."

kitchen
Su Yan mixed the sprouts and fed Qin An with a chopstick, "Is it delicious?"

Qin An opened his mouth and ate it, nodding gently with his eyebrows. Su Yan also tasted the chopsticks and said, "Put some green onions in too."

After speaking, he grabbed some chopped green onions from the cutting board and put them on top.
