Quick Transmigration: The Way of Life

Chapter 342

"The children in the family are still young, let them deal with it first, about money... I will find a way!"

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, with a loving smile on his face, and then said: "That's good, the master, I bought such good meat today, and tonight, I will cook a delicious meal for everyone. , everyone has worked hard..."

Lin Lang looked at Mrs. Li who had gone away, and returned to her room, manipulated all the pockets, and dug out a few pieces of silver from the corner of the closet, which added up to only five taels of silver.

You must know that the walking fee for taking part in the government test is about three taels, which does not include the cost of board and lodging. After arriving in Fucheng, you have to prepare things to take the test. When they came out, they had to take the unified exam, and they had to stay in the small room in the exam room for three days and two nights.

If you are unlucky, you may be allocated next to the toilet. The smell is guaranteed to be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Lin Lang thought about it for a while, then put this matter behind her, and hurriedly copied the book. As for painting, he was quite handy. After all, he had learned modern sketching and ink painting, and this softness together, The illustrations he drew are pretty good, the men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful.

After seeing the illustrations in the picture book, the bookstore owner couldn't put it down, thought of something, winked at Lin Lang and said, "I didn't expect you to draw well, brother, do you want to make another big fortune..."

"Big one?" Lin Lang frowned, as if thinking of something, and said with a look of fear, "You don't want me to let other people say it, and then make it into a fake and sell it to others. If you are a scholar, if you are picked out for doing something like this, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the gentlemen!"

"Oh~" The bookstore owner waved his hand, "You misunderstood me, I am also a decent person, I think your paintings are good, and the characters are also very realistic, I want to ask you... Do you have the intention to draw a picture of avoiding fire?"

"A plan for avoiding fire?" Lin Lang chewed on these three words, and immediately understood what kind of plan it was, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she nodded at last, and said falteringly, "How about the reward?"

"There are high and low, common ones, three or four taels of silver, if the painting is good, it may be dozens or even hundreds..."

Lin Lang's heart was moved, this time the painting was better, and all the problems were probably solved, so she said, "Okay, but...you have to provide the paint..."

"This is no problem!" The bookstore owner immediately agreed, and also took out a good rice paper and a well-made Langhao brush.

"Recently, a son of a rich family wants to get married, and the family style is relatively strict. It is impossible to go to that kind of nonsensical place, so he asked me to come here... If you change it, money is not a problem, and You can also keep these things for you..." Why did the bookstore owner want to do this business? The main reason is that the big family is his backer, and he relies on them for his business.

Lin Lang nodded, and agreed to the matter. In order to finish the picture sooner, she went to the grocery store to buy an oil lamp, and when she got home, she buried herself in the drawing without saying a word.

Lin Lang drew all the 18 styles he had memorized in his previous life. He also specially bought an eyebrow pencil, used them as pencils, drew a few simple sketches, and finally painted them with paint. After eating, there is a feeling of redness in the face.

Lin Lang worked hard for three full days before finishing the painting. He kept himself locked in the room for the past few days, and basically never left the painting table except for eating and drinking.

After it was finished, Lin Lang gave the things to the bookstore owner. Seeing the bookstore owner's ecstatic look, Lin Lang unceremoniously offered the price.

"Don't look at me, the thing is worth the price. I spent a lot of effort to paint this thing, and I almost broke my eyes!"

Bookstore owner, staying there is not because the price is high, but because the price is too low. A good fire avoidance map is already worth more than 100, let alone this kind of thing.

"Okay, okay, I'm adding 30 taels to you, so the total is 80 taels!" The bookstore owner took out the silver from his counter, handed it over, and said with a smile.

Lin Lang didn't say anything, took the money, and went to the cloth shop owner on the way back to help him make an inventory.

"This... old man, what have you been doing these days? How did you earn so much money... My God, it's not a dream..." Seeing the white money on the table, Mrs. Li slumped on the ground, covering her hands. Looking at his chest, he asked this sentence in ecstasy.

"You're not dreaming, it's true!" Lin Lang continued, "With this money, our family can build a good house. By the way, it's okay. I'll take another government test!"

Mrs. Li was very happy when she heard about building a house, but when she heard that Lin Lang was going to take the exam again, her face immediately collapsed, "Old man, you have been taking the exam for so many years, and you haven't done anything, so you can't be quiet Stay at home and be a scholar?
Look, you have only spent more than half a month, and you have earned 80 taels of silver. If you do this in the future...you may earn more...why..."

"You don't need to say it!" Lin Lang waved her hand and interrupted Li's words, "I earned the money, and I can use it freely, and, as I said, this is the last time I will take part in the exam. If you don't hit... that's life, I won't go there anymore!"

Mrs. Li sighed, clutching her chest, with a dull expression on her face.

The boss next to him saw his parents like this, so he couldn't say anything. The eldest daughter-in-law didn't want to. My father-in-law hasn't passed the exam for so many years. Could it be possible that he can pass the exam this time?I guess it is another waste of money. Now I finally have 80 taels, so I can't just be ruined by my father-in-law.

"Father, I think what my mother said is right. You have been taking the exam for so many years, but you have failed in anything. Is it possible that you will be able to pass this time? Our family is not easy now, even though there are dozens of acres of fertile land. , but there are so many people in our family, but we can’t get enough to eat... If we have these 80 taels of silver, our family can build a big house and buy dozens of acres of dry land..."

"I've made up my mind!" Lin Lang said firmly, and then took out 40 taels from the pile of silver, "Use the money to build a house first, and then buy a cow to reduce your burden. As for the land matter ...As long as I pass the Juren examination, our family will have more tax-free land, and we will have money to buy land at that time, which can kill two birds with one stone..."
