Chapter 43

Regardless of whether Liu He is willing to donate the 500 taels or not, after the first year of the new year, Liu Zhi handed over the banknotes that he has not seen much to the hands of Village Chief Liu.

If it weren't for the fact that the mountain is still covered by heavy snow, Village Chief Liu really wanted to call the villagers to the county to buy materials to build a school right now.

The heavy snow did not stop until the third month of the year.

Every time Li Yun walked into the village, she could hear a group of people sitting together lamenting that the crops for the first half of this year would be fruitless.

As soon as the heavy snow melted, Liu Zhi went to the academy with his schoolbag on his back.

Of course, the tuition he brought was five taels of silver from Li Yun.

Because of the tuition fee of five taels of silver, Li Yun's life in Liu's family became better and better, and even Liu He's eyes looked at her as if she was looking at her own daughter.

After staying at home for such a long time without going out, Li Yun, who looked like she had grown hair, mentioned to Liu He that she wanted to go to the county seat, and Liu He immediately agreed.

Early in the morning, Li Yun got up early, ate a boiled egg, and set off for the entrance of the village, and got on the bullock cart to the county.

The difference from the last time she came was that this time the county town was much deserted.

The only thing that makes Li Yun feel more is that there are a lot more beggars here than usual.

At the first stop, Li Yun immediately walked into a bookstore.

"Miss Li, you are here. I haven't seen you coming to hand in the script these days." It was the owner of the bookstore who asked.

Li Yun walked to his counter, first handed over a stack of papers pulled by threads and placed them in front of him, "Shopkeeper, these are the two stories I wrote this time, take a look, if they are successful, we will Let's talk about money."

The shopkeeper's boss is surnamed Zhou.Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't wait to open the stack of papers in front of him. After reading a page, he was attracted by the content inside, and he wished he could read the story all at once.

Li Yun had been paying attention to the expression on his face since he was staring at it, so naturally he didn't miss the excited expression on his face when he saw something exciting.

"How about it, shopkeeper Zhou, are my two stories okay? If yes, let's talk about the price now."

Shopkeeper Zhou reluctantly looked away from the papers and looked at her, "Miss Li, didn't we negotiate a price last time? If you sell it to me, I'll give you a copy of ten taels of silver. That's how we work together."

Li Yun chuckled, this shopkeeper Zhou, despite his honest appearance, has a darker heart than a profiteer.

He thought she didn't know that the story books she wrote were very popular, and I heard that they were sold all over the Great Wei. She didn't need to think about how amazing the profits were. As a result, she, the author of the story books She was really unwilling to take only ten taels of silver.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, let's be smart people don't speak dark words anymore, and don't bully me because I'm a girl. You think I'm easy to bully. How popular are the scriptures I wrote for you? Do you still want me? Tell them one by one?"

Shopkeeper Zhou's face froze immediately, a mischievous smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and he hurriedly said something nice, "Miss Li, don't be like this, just talk about it if you have something to say, don't you just want to exchange the price, we can have a good talk, Come, come, sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

Li Yun pursed her lips and smiled softly, followed behind him into a room similar to a study.

"Miss Li, tell me what you want to talk about?" Shopkeeper Zhou poured her a cup of tea.

Li Yun took a sip, feeling her body warmed up a lot, immediately put down the cup, "Share it, I want it, don't sell it for a dead price."

"This..." Shopkeeper Zhou rubbed his chin with hesitation in his eyes.

Li Yun didn't expect that he would agree immediately, and continued to preach, "Master Zhou, don't think that you will be at a disadvantage if you do this. I can write such a good-looking script, and I am capable. , I still have a lot of beautiful scripts in my head, as long as I want to write, I can write, I can only tell you, if you cooperate with me, you will benefit the most in the end, believe it or not?"

Although the little girl's tone is a bit loud, shopkeeper Zhou still has to admit that what the little girl said is true. He has opened a bookstore for so many years and sold a lot of books, and only this little girl wrote It is so popular that children as young as seven or eight years old, and old people as old as six or seventy years old like to watch it.

"Miss Li, how much profit do you want?" Shopkeeper Zhou asked with a painful expression.

Li Yun secretly scolded him as an old fox, obviously he benefited the most, but acted like the one who suffered the most, "Forty percent."

She held out four fingers.Shopkeeper Zhou continued to pat his beard, and nodded after thinking for a while, "Success, [-]% is [-]%, but I have one request, that is, Miss Li, what you write must be brought to my Golden House Bookstore. Only sell it."

"This is naturally not a problem, I promise you it is."

Originally, she had never thought about changing bookstores. She had cooperated with several bookstores before, but unfortunately the shopkeepers of the previous few bookstores were all stingy. After cooperating once or twice, she immediately gave them all Dumped.

The two sides negotiated the conditions, and they sat together and drank tea for a while. Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly remembered an old friend of his. Maybe the little girl in front of him was the noble person who saved his old friend.

"Miss Li, you just said that you can write a lot of scripts. I have one thing to ask. I wonder if Miss Li can write some scripts for opera?"

Li Yun drank half of her tea, and when she looked up, she happened to see shopkeeper Zhou showing her a flattering smile, "Could shopkeeper Zhou also run a theater besides this bookstore?"

Shopkeeper Zhou waved his hands and smiled, "It's not me, it's not me, how can I have this ability, it's an old friend of mine, he runs a theater, it's on the east side of the city, it's called Eastern Han Theater."

It's a pity that Li Yun can count the number of times she has come to this county with one hand. She knows nothing about the theater that shopkeeper Zhou mentioned.

"Oh, so, does shopkeeper Zhou want me to write an opera script for that old friend of yours?"

Shopkeeper Zhou stroked his beard and smiled, "Miss Li is really smart."

Li Yun smiled back, "I can write, but what's the price?"

She didn't have the idea of ​​writing for nothing to others.

"That's easy to say, as long as Miss Li writes it down, my old friend will not treat you badly." Hearing that she agreed, shopkeeper Zhou happily answered for his friend first.

Talking about good things with shopkeeper Zhou, and taking the money from selling the book last time, Li Yun left the bookstore.

Walking down the street, a smell of steamed buns floated into her nose.

"Boss, bring me ten meat buns." With money in hand, the money for these ten meat buns is really nothing to her now, so she took out twenty copper coins without feeling sorry.
