Chapter 18 School Examination ([-])

Compared with Wei Ying's words, of course it's not good.But Mrs. Wei is illiterate, so she thinks it's fine.

"Thanks to the young master for being willing to teach me."

"Well, practicing calligraphy and writing Spring Festival couplets is very important, but it can't delay Yinger's reading, you know?"

"I know, an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time, I understand."

"Also, if you have anything to do in the future, just come and talk to me directly."

Shen Ji nodded, Aunt Wei told her to stay away from Wei Ying.Did she just see Wei Ying teaching her how to write?Don't worry, she doesn't want to be a girl, let alone a housekeeper.

In the following days, Shen Ji practiced those twenty or thirty couplets hard. She recalled more than a dozen couplets, and there were ten more elegant couplets, which Wei Ying told her to know.

When it was the twelfth lunar month, Shen Ji took out his private money, bought back a dozen red paper and pens and inks at a bargain price, and wrote couplets in the house every day when the sun was shining, and Aunt Wei gave her a stove at night. So you can write at night.In this way, I can write twenty or thirty pictures a day.They started to be sold in the village for eight cents a piece.

At first the villagers thought it was written by Wei Ying, but later they learned that it was written by Shen Ji, and they looked at her with admiration again.Let Shen Ji, who has been unable to find a suitable job for a long time because of the expansion of enrollment, feel a sense of accomplishment.

More than 180 pieces were sold in the village, because it was two cents cheaper than in the town, and the calligraphy was beautiful.Only a few people said that they didn't want to buy something written by a little girl, and would rather spend an extra two pennies to buy it in the town.As a result, when I bought it back, the villagers compared it, and it was no more beautiful than Shen Ji's writing.

Shen Ji is now ready to imitate Wei Ying's characters, which is seventy percent of the time.Wei Ying also praised her once when she came back and said that she has spirituality, and she will try to create her own fonts in the future when she has the opportunity.Shen Ji has no idea about this, she just wants to make money now.

When it's time to go to the market, I will put the other ten more elegant ones on the street stalls for sale, and I will sell them for ten coins, and then I will give away one "Entry and Exit".These four characters are written by Shen Ji the most, and they are also the most powerful.It was written in the small red letters that were cut out, and it was wasted anyway.Moreover, people's psychology is very strange, and they are very happy when they have small items for delivery.

Second Uncle Wang, He Laoyao and others saw that they bought more "safety entry and exit" than they bought themselves, so they jokingly asked Shen Ji to make up for it.Shen Ji thought that there was still some leftover paper at home anyway, and that she could write the four characters quickly and well now, so she readily agreed and asked them to come to Wei's house to pick them up.

People in the village said that perhaps the Wei family's feng shui is good, not to mention a young talent like Wei Ying, even the girl who bought it can be taught to be like this.

Shen Ji went to the market three times in a row and sold more than 200 couplets.In the end, he flicked his wrist and said it was sour.However, this time, it was a [-]-[-] share. After deducting the expenses, she got [-] Wen. Adding the previous nearly [-] Wen, she had almost [-] Wen.

In the evening, Shen sent the sum of money and put it back into the jar as usual, thinking about changing the two thousand coins into silver.This is convenient for storage and portability.Otherwise, die again.

She dug a hole and buried her money under the bed, but no one else would have guessed that she had saved nearly three taels of silver, and if she stole it, she would steal it from Aunt Wei.I just don't know where her money is hidden.Aunt Wei also wanted to change the copper plate into silver, so that Wei Ying could carry it easily when he was on the road, so Shen Ji entrusted her to help him change it together.

During the Chinese New Year period, Shen Ji noticed that the lights in Wei Ying's room were always on until very late, and when he got up at night, he muttered "I'm really hardworking" and went back to sleep.She didn't have to do anything to go to the market during the Chinese New Year, so she devoted her mind to cooking for Wei Ying.It can be seen with the naked eye that Wei Ying not only did not lose weight after working so hard, but gained a little weight.Aunt Wei was very pleased with this.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wei Ying was going to the academy again.There are still more than two months before the end. Some students, such as Fatty Hu, don't go to the academy anymore, and the teacher invited will start a small stove at home.The Wei family still couldn't afford to invite them, and Wei Ying did not accept Fatty Hu's invitation to go to the Hu family.He is unwilling to owe favors easily, and Mr. Pei from the academy thinks he is very knowledgeable, and the academy still has a lot of books that can be borrowed.Another month to go to the state capital.It is not to wait until the exam, but to go first. It is best to rent a room to study, and then discuss with other students. It would be even better to visit famous local scholars for advice.

Aunt Wei exchanged ten taels of silver for Wei Ying to take to the state capital, and sold most of the family’s food and eggs to collect three taels of silver, which not only had to be used for travel expenses but also for a month’s expenses. , it's still a little tight.Ten taels of silver can buy an acre of the best field in the village, but it is nothing in the state capital.Especially during the college entrance examination, the prices of food, clothing, housing and transportation will increase.I heard that it costs three to five taels of silver to rent a yard a month, so Wei Ying plans to borrow it in the temple.In this way, the cost of food and accommodation can be saved.

The two taels of silver sent by Shen also quietly took out, "Master, I will lend you."

Seeing her silver in the belt she sewed, Wei Ying couldn't help but make fists and cover her mouth with a smile, "No need, I can find a way to earn money when I get to the state capital. A restaurant can earn tens of hundreds of yuan a day by writing sour poems for others, which is definitely not less than that in the town."

"If you are poor and rich, you should take it with you. Just return it to me when you don't have to come back. The exam is coming, so it's better to concentrate on studying. There is no rush to make money." With conscience, Wei Treat yourself well.

Wei Ying thought about it and accepted it, "Okay, then thank you sister Ji. When I come back, I will bring you delicious food from the state capital."

Shen Ji handed over the prepared dry food and drinking water, "This is dried meat, this is pickled radish sticks, and this is steamed buns. The young master will walk for several days on the road, so it is almost enough to eat. I also used mint for the water. Boiled strips." After speaking, she stepped back to let Aunt Wei say goodbye to Wei Ying.

Aunt Wei and Shen Ji sent Wei Ying to the entrance of the village before returning. Aunt Wei was very satisfied with Shen Ji's move to lend Wei Ying money from his private house to spend at a critical moment.Shen Ji has already started to worry about his livelihood for the next period of time.Aunt Wei is happy to send Wei Ying to take the hospital examination, even if she eats bran and swallowed vegetables, but Shen Ji is not happy.It's just that it's only February, and you can't go fishing in the river.The pickled radish sticks are also cold and not easy to sell.Selling only potato cakes and pork bone soup vermicelli can only make ends meet, but cannot save money.And even if she saves money, Aunt Wei probably wants to ask someone to bring it to Wei Ying.Then wouldn't she have to go back to the situation of drinking porridge and eating pickles?Now that Wei Ying is not at home, Aunt Wei is really likely to do this.

But the existing materials can't develop any new varieties to sell, and the cost of buying other snacks is too high. It seems that the only way to sell fat intestines is really.It's just that washing the fat intestines every day is unbearable.

"Ma'am, it will take another month for the fish ball soup to be sold. Let's sell the roasted fat sausage. If you have spare money, you can also bring it to the young master."
