This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 48 Zijun Grows Up

This brother-in-law is so stupid...

Luo Zijun secretly complained.

Unexpectedly, just after he finished complaining, his sister said with surprise, "Zijun, well done! I didn't expect that you are even more shameless than me. I didn't even dare to ask for it, but you actually asked for it! Hahahaha, our family needs someone as shameless as you!"

Luo Zijun: “…”

Sure enough, if you are not a family, you will not enter the same family.

My sister and brother-in-law are a perfect match.

Luo Zijun was speechless and could only explain: "These twenty taels were not taken back from Uncle Datou, but I earned them myself, from writing books.

This matter always needs to be spoken out.

After all, I will have to give money to my family in the future, so I have to find a reason.

"You earned it yourself? By writing a book?"

Li Zhengshan was stunned when he heard this, his face full of shock.

The look on his face seemed to be saying, are you kidding me?
You? Can you write a book?

Luo Jiaorong was also stunned.

Then he hurried over, snatched the silver from his hand, looked at it over and over again, and finally concluded: "This is not the twenty taels of silver given to Datou!"

Then she said seriously, "Zijun, tell me the truth, where did this money come from? You wouldn't..."

"It was neither stolen nor robbed!"

Luo Zijun took the silver back from her and said, "I earned it by writing books."

Xiao Huan suddenly said, "Master, Madam, the young master is really writing a book. I even helped him grind ink last night."

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Jiaorong's face was filled with disbelief.

Li Zhengshan was also surprised and asked, "Zijun, you can really write a book? What kind of book do you write? A book about medicine?"

Luo Zijun said: "Brother-in-law, I signed a contract with the bookstore. They bought my book, but they wanted to sign it under another name. So I can't reveal what book it is."

Luo Jiaorong was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Why do you want to sign it with another name? Didn't you write it?"

Luo Zijun explained: "I am unknown, and I think it is impossible to sell books with my name on them. Sister, it is good enough that people want my books. As long as I can make money, these are small matters."

Li Zhengshan and Luo Jiaorong didn't understand this. They looked at each other in disbelief.

This is really absurd and unbelievable.

This kid just started studying some time ago and took the exam for the scholar. Two days ago, he was suddenly admitted to the best academy in the outer city as an exception in advance. Now he suddenly can write books and earn dozens of taels of silver at once!
It was like a dream.

"Zijun, how much money did you earn in total?"

Li Zhengshan asked quickly.

Luo Zijun said, "Thirty taels. I don't write many words, and it's my first time. They said we can negotiate the price when I write more."

As soon as these words came out.

Li Zhengshan was overjoyed: "Zijun, you are better than your brother-in-law! At such a young age, you can earn money by writing books, and you can earn so much all at once! It is true that studying is good and wonderful!"

Luo Jiaorong still found it hard to believe: "Zijun, is this true? Don't lie to me."

Luo Zijun said: "Of course it is true. If you don't believe me, I will go get the manuscript and show it to you."

Luo Jiaorong rolled her eyes: "Sister can't read."

After she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly turned red: "Zijun, you... you can earn money by yourself... wuwu... you can actually earn money by yourself... if Daddy and Mommy knew..."

As she said this, she began to sob.

Just now I was crying out of anger, but now I am crying out of joy.

Li Zhengshan brought her a handkerchief and said with a smile, "It's a good thing that Zijun can make money. Why are you crying? Come on, let's go cook. I'm hungry."

Luo Zijun handed over the roast goose in his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, I also bought you a roast goose to go with the wine."

Li Zhengshan was stunned, looked at the roast goose in his hand, then looked at him, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Good...good...Zijun has grown up, Zijun has grown up..."

He took the roast goose, smiled with satisfaction, then quickly turned and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "I'll go light the fire."

He turned his back and rubbed his eyes.

The golden sunset shines across the courtyard, and the evening breeze stirs the leaves in the courtyard, making a rustling sound.

At this moment, Luo Zijun's heart was filled with strange emotions again. "Give me the money, I'll keep it for you, so you don't spend it on fooling around!"

"I have to save it for marrying a wife in the future!"

Luo Jiaorong stretched out her hand for the silver.

Luo Zijun put it away and said, "Sister, I'll give it to you tonight. After dinner, I have to take the manuscript out. When the bookstore gives me the remaining ten taels of silver, I will give it to you."

Luo Jiaorong's eyes immediately lit up, and she looked radiant: "Then sister will go with you!"

How could she be missing from such an honor-making occasion!

Luo Zijun said: "No, I have a contract with the bookstore, so I can only go by myself."

When Luo Jiaorong was about to say something, Li Zhengshan said from the kitchen, "Alright, alright, stop interfering. Zijun is doing her business, and you're following her and making a fuss. What's wrong with you? Don't ruin Zijun's business by making a fuss."

Luo Jiaorong was unhappy when she heard this, and looked towards the kitchen angrily: "When did I start to bluff? Li Zhengshan, I haven't settled the score with you just now, and you're jumping up and down again! Are you looking for a fight?"

Luo Zijun hurriedly said: "Sister, go cook, I'm hungry and I have to go out to do something later."

When Luo Jiaorong heard this, she quickly said, "Okay, I'll do it right away. The dishes are all ready-made, I'll just fry them, it's very quick and won't delay your work."

After saying that, he walked into the kitchen quickly.

After a while, the sounds of cooking and her humming a little tune could be heard from the kitchen.

"Xiao Huan, come in and help me grind the ink."

"Yes, son."

Luo Zijun went to wash her hands, then took Xiaohuan into the room and continued writing the rest of the story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

I wrote most of it last night.

The rest of the story was written very quickly and was completed before dinner.

He had to make money quickly.

Money is indispensable for other aspects, and even more so for practicing martial arts.

After dinner, he took the manuscript and went out.

Luo Jiaorong was worried and advised: "Zijun, why don't you let your brother-in-law follow you? He is standing far away waiting for you. You have a huge amount of money, and your sister is afraid that you will be robbed."

Luo Zijun said: "No, there are people coming and going on the street, and I won't go to the alleys."

If he wants to rob, he will rob others.

Luo Jiaorong walked him all the way out of the alley, and when he disappeared under the light ahead, she still stretched her neck to look, her heart full of worry.

Li Zhengshan advised: "It's just getting dark, there are many people on the road, it's okay."

Luo Jiaorong rolled her eyes at him and said, "You practice martial arts, so you're not afraid. Zijun is a weak scholar. If he were to encounter hooligans, it would be fine if they robbed him of his money, but if he hurt anyone, I... I wouldn't live!"

Li Zhengshan was speechless.

"Which of those hooligans on this street doesn't know me, Captain Li? I've warned them all, no one dares to touch Zijun, so don't worry."

"Tsk, you're bragging about your little ability? You don't even make as much in a year as my Zijun does in a day!"

"My lady, why are you attacking me personally? Zijun is yours as well as mine. If he earns more, doesn't that mean I earn more?"

"Ouch! Li Zhengshan, you are so shameless!"

"hey-hey."

The two of them were arguing, and when they turned back, Luo Zijun had already crossed the street and walked towards Tianxian Tower.

But as soon as he crossed an alley, he suddenly realized that he was being followed again!

Which group of people is this again?

He touched the dagger at his waist, then touched the remaining bag of lime powder in his arms, and stopped in front of a stall.

Ok?
The stalker is a person, and a woman.

Wearing purple clothes and a bamboo hat.

Is it the woman that Sun Yaner sent before?

Since the ghost is still around, don't blame him for being rude tonight!

He looked at a grocery store in front of him and walked straight over.
