Chapter 1518 (1/2)

It costs a lot of money to take medicine. It took 12 Liang silver to catch eight pairs of medicine twice. Take out the rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other things you bought, and the twenty Liang silver of Chenxiang's hand string is only forty-two and twenty Wen silver.

Pang Jinglun was lying on the bed, looking at this silver, said with a bitter face, ”it's too expensive to take medicine. I won't take it.”

”No, the doctor said that you must take twenty pairs of medicine, or your illness will be better.” After a pause, brother Xuan said, ”I'll find a way about money?”

Pang Jinglun listened to this and asked, ”what can you do if you can't lift your hand and shoulder?”

”I can write letters to people, or I can help people copy books in bookstores,” said Xuan Considering the cold weather, he prefers to copy books.

”Eh, do you know how to make money by helping people copy books?” I thought that brother Xuan was a bookworm who read only sages and sages. I didn't expect to know these common things.

Brother Xuan said, ”I have a classmate who is poor and lives by copying books. I'll go to the bookstore later. I think I can find a living one. ”

Pang Jinglun hurriedly waved his hand and said, ”go to the bookstore and ask the shopkeeper. I'll ask a San to buy some medicine.” He is always in charge of buying medicine.

Brother Xuan nodded his head and went out.

Didn't hear footsteps, Pang Jinglun just lowered his voice and asked A-San, ”do you want to continue to drink this medicine?” Brother Xuan asked a quack. Pang Jinglun prescribed a prescription even though he was not ill.

”It's a tonic. It's good for nothing but good,” said A-San The prescription has been changed. What Pang Jinglun was given was a medicine to replenish qi and blood.

”Bitter.” This medicine is really good for the body. After taking the eight pairs of medicine, he felt lighter than before. But the medicine was so bitter that he didn't want to drink it any more.

”Ah San said,” I'll bring you a marinated pig's hoof later Considering that Pang Jinglun is older, he secretly brings dishes to Pang Jinglun every day. As for himself, it's what brother Xuan eats, and what he also eats.

Pang Jinglun said, ”I want to eat roast duck. Do you know if there is any in this county?”

”I'll go out in the afternoon. If there is one, I'll buy it for you tomorrow. ” As long as Pang Jinglun's requirements are not excessive, he will meet them.

Until noon, brother Xuan had not come back. Pang Jinglun said to A-San with some worry: ”go to find it now!” This is going to happen. He can't bear to go away!

”Don't worry, young master, nothing happened,” said the third one If anything, he'd got the letter.

Pang Jinglun is not such a simple person as Xuan Ge'er. After hearing this, he immediately understood: ”madam also sent someone to protect the young master secretly?” To be on the safe side, they call Yuxi their wife.

A 3 nods. It's safe to follow someone in an unprepared place.

Pang Jinglun shook his head and said, ”Madame, it's really painstaking. I just hope you can make progress in this trip! ”

”Ah San said,” then you should be more strict with the young master! ” Due to his status, Pang Jinglun is very polite to brother Xuan. He doesn't look like a teacher at all, but he wants to be a subordinate.

”I know how to do it!” He will do his best to help the empress correct the shortcomings of the third highness.

At the end of noon, brother Xuan came back.

Looking at xuange'er coming back with paper, pen and books, Pang Jinglun asked, ”how much is it to copy a book?”

Xuange'er said, ”it's 200 Wen to copy a book, but they are the ones who write, ink, paper and inkstone.” He also knew that the amount was not much, but the store only gave this price. If he doesn't accept it, he won't even have two hundred Wen.

Pang Jinglun listened to this and said: ”this shop is good and kind. When I'm well, I'll copy with you. ”

Xuange'er was not very satisfied: ”a Zhi copied a book for people, two liang of silver.” He was only two hundred Wen, only one tenth of what Ruan Chengzhi earned.

Pang Jinglun explained: ”your classmate is a student of Baitan Academy. The price of the books he copied is naturally high. You're just a nobody. It's good to give two hundred Wen to a book. Your handwriting is also very good. If you don't, the shopkeeper won't be able to speak so well. ”

Brother Xuan's face is bitter. Think of the past at home, he never put 200 Wen money in his eyes.

”Don't dawdle. I'm going to the Kang to copy.” It takes a lot of firewood to burn Kang. In order to save money, brother Xuan and a San both moved to Pang Jinglun's house. In the evening, they also slept together.

Copying books is a very tiring job. Only copied a day, Xuan elder brother son's arm cannot lift. It's also at this time that brother Xuan knows that the money is really hard to earn.

Although the Kang was burning all the time, Pang Jinglun still felt that the room was a little cold: ”a San, go and buy some charcoal.” Put a basin of carbon fire in the house, it will be much warmer.

An hour later, a San bought a Lou of charcoal about 30 jin.

”How can I just buy this?” A Lou of charcoal can only be used for four or five days.

”The price of charcoal has risen in the cold weather. It's three Wen and a Jin,” explained A-San On weekdays, this charcoal costs only one Wen and one jin. The colder the day, the more expensive the charcoal.

Brother Xuan dropped his head.

The house is really warm after burning charcoal. But not for a while, brother Xuan's eyes were very hard to smoke.

Rub your eyes and tears. Xuan elder brother son is very afflictive, say: ”a 3, is this buy Charcoal? Why are you still smoking? ”

”It's just ordinary charcoal. It's normal to have smoke.”
