What made him excited was not because "Legend of Shushan" sold at a high price, but because he solved the food shortage problem at home through this incident, which made him full of confidence in the road ahead full of thorns.At this time, not only was he not afraid of seeing Yan Song and Xu Jie, but he was full of anticipation in his heart.

"Brother Xin, I am really convinced. You are not only good at reading, but also so capable of making money."

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Luo Xin's mouth and said, "This is all due to the food shortage."

The two talked and laughed, and then returned to Zhou Yu's house. When passing by the door of Zhou Tingyu's study, Zhou Tingyu saw the two of them through the window, and called them in.Luo Xin followed Zhou Yu into the study with a bag in hand.Zhou Tingyu's eyes fell on Luo Xin's bag, and he couldn't help asking curiously:

"Xin'er, what is this?"

Before Luo Xin could open his mouth, Zhou Yu over there recounted the matter blah blah blah.Then he stood there waiting for his father to praise Luo Xin, but Zhou Tingyu's face darkened, and he stared at Luo Xin:
"Is what Hao De said true?"

"Yes, adoptive father." Zhou Tingyu's face made Luo Xin cautious.

"So, you still have dozens of books to write?" Zhou Tingyu's eyes showed anger.

"It's... foster father!"

"Crack!" Zhou Tingyu slapped the table hard, and shouted, "Don't you know that you will take the scientific examination in February next year?"

"I know!" Luo Xin whispered.

"Then do you know what is the most important thing for you right now?"

"I know!" Luo Xin lowered his head.

"I know that you still write that stupid book? You are going to be a Jinshi in the future, and you are a person who is going to be an official. How can you put your energy on the small road at such a critical moment? Only the imperial examination is the road. You can earn money by writing books. So what if you spend a lot of money? Do you want to be a script writer for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Tingyu pointed at Luo Daoxin bitterly: "You are stupid! You have less than ten months to take the scientific examination, but you waste your precious time writing some scriptures. If you fail because of this, you will regret it." Life. You are ruining your career!"

While talking, Zhou Tingyu stood up excitedly, turned out from behind the desk, stood in front of Luo Xin, and sprayed Luo Xin all over the face with spitting foam.

"I thought you were a sensible child, smart, hard-working, hardworking, how could you do such a self-destructive thing?

Don't think that you won the hydrology battle, and don't think that you are really a child prodigy because others call you a child prodigy.There are tens of thousands of people studying in this world, and there are countless young heroes. Scholars of my generation only hate that we don’t have enough time to study. How can we be willing to waste a little time?You're going to waste the rest of your months on that... what? "

"The Legend of Shushan!" Luo Xin said weakly.

"Are you wasting time on the Legend of Poshu Mountain? Even if you are a prodigy and can pass the imperial examination, do you know that this kind of scholars who write scripts are despised by scholars? It will have a negative impact on your career. negative effect?"

Hearing Zhou Tingyu roaring there, Luo knew in confidence that it was Zhou Tingyu who was doing it for his own good and worried about him.So when Zhou Tingyu got angry, it was difficult for him to explain, and he could only explain when Zhou Tingyu finished his anger.

But Zhou Yu was also a shrewd person. The moment his father got angry, he quickly closed the doors and windows.And Zhou Tingyu saw his actions clearly, so although Zhou Tingyu couldn't hide the disappointment and anger in his heart, he was just roaring in a low voice. After roaring for a quarter of an hour, his tired voice became hoarse, and his breathing was difficult. It was uneven, sweat was on his forehead, and his emotions were almost vented, so he went back to the table and sat down, staring at Luo Xin with eyes still mixed with disappointment and anger.Zhou Yu watched from the side as his father turned to an angry bull, while Luo Xin stood there with his head bowed in an aggrieved look, and explained in a low voice:
"Father, brother Xin, isn't there a food shortage at home? That's why I want to make some money to solve the food shortage."

"Crack!" Zhou Tingyu, who had almost vented his emotions, became angry again, slammed the table hard and shouted:
"Will there be a food shortage in my adopted son's house? Me, Lu Weng, Zhang Shu, the three of us will cause a food shortage in Luo Xin's house? And..."

Zhou Tingyu pointed at Zhou Yu and said, "As a big brother, don't you know how to care about Luo Xin? Don't you know how to send the food to Luo Xin's house early? This is a failure of you as a big brother! You...you...not me son!"

"I..." Zhou Yu was also wronged: "I told Brother Xin that we wanted to deliver food, but Brother Xin said no..."

Luo Xin knew that the father and son could not continue to fight, so he quickly said: "Father, I didn't do this just because of the food shortage."

"Huh?" Zhou Tingyu was taken aback for a moment, and Zhou Yu also turned to look at Luo Xin blankly.Luo Xin said softly:
"Father, I know that on the surface, there will be a food shortage problem in my family soon. But in fact, this problem does not exist at all. Neither the two foster fathers nor my teacher will watch Xin'er starve to death."

Hearing what Luo Xin said, Zhou Tingyu's face softened slightly.If Luo Xin would rather starve himself than come to him for food, he would be very disappointed.He is not someone else, he is Luo Xin's adoptive father.Seeing that Zhou Tingyu's expression softened slightly, Luo Xin continued to speak softly:

"Father, you also know that my teacher was dismissed because he offended Yan Song. In the future, Yan Song will make things difficult for me when he enters the officialdom. So I take this food shortage at home as a test for me. If I If I can solve this problem independently, then when I face Yan Song in the future, I will have more confidence. I will think that as long as I am willing to work hard, I will definitely come up with a solution to the problem. If I do not come up with a solution to the problem in the end I had no choice but to come to my adoptive father to get food. Although it also solved the problem of food shortage at home, Xin'er might lose confidence in the future officialdom. Fortunately, Xin'er solved this problem through his own efforts, which made Xin'er more determined to enter Official determination."

Seeing that Zhou Tingyu was about to speak again, Luo Xin hurriedly said: "As for the remaining dozens of books, I naturally wouldn't write "Shushan Biography" every day without reading. Anyway, I have to practice calligraphy every day. I will use the time to practice calligraphy to write that book. This will not delay my reading time. Anyway, Zhuangyuan Bookstore is not going to print and sell all the books in one volume at once, so how can they make money? They will definitely Volumes are published one by one, and there will be a long time interval between each volume. He will not release the second volume unless he squeezes out the profits of each volume. Therefore, Xiner only used the time to practice calligraphy to write "Shushan Biography" That's it."
