Chapter 534 Little Translator Online

This year, with over 13,000 foreign merchants visiting the Iri Valley, translators have become extremely sought after.

Qingshan Academy.

With summer vacation just beginning, the scholars who weren't going to participate in this year's autumn imperial examinations were all itching to get started.

Although all expenses at the academy are free, these are all teenagers who are almost adults, and who wouldn't need money?

They're not those bookworms who are oblivious to the world around them.

Earning pocket money by taking summer jobs is a particularly fashionable thing to do in the Kansai region.

This is not.

Even the eldest son of the Grand General was whispering to his classmates.

"Yuantong, Yuantong, shall we go join the fun?"

"Neither of us is very good at English, what kind of translator do you want to be?"

"We two can't do it, but don't we have someone at home who speaks fluent Latin? With Fu Bao's money-grubbing nature, if he knew he could get ten taels of silver for translating between the two sides, and there would be a bonus if the deal went through, he would definitely make a fuss. We two can be Fu Bao's accountants."

Yuantong: "."

really.

Upon hearing this, Fu Bao's watery, lychee-like eyes widened into full moons:

"Second brother, are you saying that as long as I translate the foreigners' words to the merchants and then convey the merchants' meaning to the foreigners, I can earn two months' salary for each job as a messenger?"

The happiest moment of the month for the little guy is when he puts his monthly allowance into his lucky cat money jar.

He was overjoyed to hear that he could earn more money than his monthly allowance.

Zuo Chijun earnestly tried to fool his younger brother:

"Yes, no one else is as smart as my Fu Bao! At most, they are only proficient in one foreign language, but you are not only proficient in Latin but also speak French. When Fu Bao is on the job, one is worth two!"

"Hehe, Dad also praised my talent for learning foreign languages! Second brother, let's go now! Mom always says that if you're not proactive in earning money, there's something wrong with your thinking!"

Gan Minglan: This old saying doesn't apply to a six-year-old brat like you!

Unfortunately, the little brat awakened his money-grubbing nature far too early, and no one could dissuade him. Yuanyuan wanted to go too.

However, her level four superpower, which had stagnated for more than two years, was showing signs of advancing. She spent most of her time training on the snow mountain every day, waiting for the opportunity to break through.

In the end, the parents had no choice but to agree to let Zuo Chixia and Yuantong take Fubao to work.

Ever since.

In Bagua City, a young translator has emerged who is the youngest in the city's history and is most fluent in spoken Latin and French.

The young translator was surrounded by a long line of servants and guards; they didn't seem to be there to work, but rather to cause a ruckus in the eyes of onlookers.

The soldiers looked at it and gave it a friendly smile.

The foreign merchants just don't understand Chinese, they're not blind.

In such a hot and dry environment, only a young master from a noble family could raise such a fair-skinned, round-faced, and adorable child.

You tell me, how could you possibly offer a mere ten taels of silver to a noble young master to help with a translation?
Moreover, their translation was indeed very accurate!

A small group of merchants from within the Great Wall had met Zuo Wenkang, the Governor-General of the Imperial Textile Bureau in Guanzhong.

They deduced the brothers' identities from the similar appearances of Zuo Chixia and Fu Bao to Zuo Wenkang.

They didn't think the son of the Grand General was short of money.

They would only think that the young master was here to experience the lives of ordinary people.

Since it's an experience, it's essential to make it feel real.

Then, businesses that wanted Fu Bao to do translations quickly lined up in long queues.

"Aren't you in a hurry to do business? I bet the foreign merchants who want to do business with your firm are getting impatient!"

"How can we not be in a hurry? There are very few translators who know Latin!"

"hehe."

Whether the other party believes it or not, the line keeps getting longer and longer.

Fu Bao, the little translator, went from being enthusiastic about her job to talking until her lips were dry and her little throat was parched, and finally she felt utterly hopeless, all in just one day.
