The matter of Mrs. Niu was over, and Gu Beizhi also forgot about it. Now there is another matter before Gu Beizhi, and the last two hundred coins in his hand are gone.

In the past two weeks, he has added some things to the house one after another, but they are all limited by not many copper plates. They are all small things, such as the oil lamps in Guanzhou House, such as the two pairs of tiger shoes on the feet of Dabao and Erbao. ,and many more.

What's more, every time he comes back from town, he will bring something to eat for Guan Zhouye and three, sometimes it's a few pieces of candy, sometimes it's meat buns, sometimes it's some snacks, in short, every time he goes to town Never forget the three at home.

At first, it was intentional, but later, it was my habit. Every time I didn't bring something home, I always felt weird. After going back and forth, the money in this pocket will naturally be consumed.

Although he also has some income from copying books, compared to the speed at which he spends money, it is natural that he is going in and out a lot.

Gu Beizhi looked at the only two copper coins left, and felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart, "a penny can beat a hero."

He copied the books at the bookstore every day. At first, he could only copy two pages in an hour. Now he can copy four pages. Even if the speed is accelerated, he can only copy one book in two days at the fastest, which is still relatively thin. Enlightenment books or books.

If it becomes thicker, it will take longer, but it is worth it. He copies two to three texts per page. He only copies in the three hours when the light is good, that is, 12 pages, or 36 at most. Wen money.

The agreement with the bookstore is to settle every seven days, and there are still three days until the next settlement.

Gu Beizhi was a little hesitant. He hasn't given up his golden fingers, which are still a bit tasteless these days. After all, if he doesn't know the history of this place, having golden fingers may give him a chance to survive.

Of course, he also tried to understand the history of Zhao State, but there are very, very few books on historical materials in the bookstore.

Not to mention the history of this dynasty, even the previous dynasty is rare, there are only some hearsays, even demonized legends.

In Gu Beizhi's opinion, this can only be regarded as a story, not a real history. He shook his head, feeling a pity in his heart, but he could only admit it.

So he placed his trust in antiques even more. In this lonely and unfamiliar country of Zhao, appreciating antiques was probably the thing he was most familiar with, and he wanted to find that vase.

After thinking about it, he never realized that he had any special place or special experience, enough to encounter such a magical thing of time-travel. The only special thing was the vase that was completely incompatible with history.

Therefore, I am sure that I have something to do with that strange vase when I traveled through it. If I can find it, I may be able to wear it back to the modern age.

Reason told himself that this chance was very slim, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit of luck, Gu Beizhi still lingered in those antique shops every day.

The number of times he can use for identification is 9 times a day. If Uncle Wang comes to town, he will use up the number of identifications, empty his spirit, and spend two cents to make an ox cart to go home. If Uncle Wang does not come. , he only used it 7 times, so he wouldn't be too mentally ill.

He can feel that each appraisal is an increase, just like the skill proficiency in the game, when the experience value is full, there will be changes.

And the 'real and fake famous paintings' he encountered at the beginning were also deciphered three days ago as to which one is real and which one is fake. It has become one of the shop's signatures.

If he could see the authenticity of the calligraphy and painting, money would not be an issue, but he had observed the painting many times, and could only see that there was one detail that was different, and that was the inscription on the painting, one of which had strokes. different.

But he doesn't know what the handwriting of the real painting looks like, and naturally he can't judge the authenticity, so he can only press his heart to slowly enrich the knowledge he lacks.

This is also the reason why he goes to the Antique Street every day, even if he can't pick up the leaks, he can understand what are the valuable antiques in this world and what celebrities are.

After thinking about it, he felt that he still couldn't give up the time to study and practice in Antique Street. Only through hard work and persistence could he be rich in knowledge, broaden his horizons, and cultivate a pair of keen eyes.

There is a price to be paid for everything, and it is not something that can be achieved by random luck. Since he wants to make a living, he has to make 100% efforts in advance.

But the problem of not having money was imminent. When he was worried, he suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the day to collect the silver in May, which just solved the urgent need.

So early the next morning, he took his voucher and rushed to the yamen early to collect the monthly silver and food for this month. "Gu Beizhi, a native of Wangjiazhuang Village, Huolu

Town, monthly silver is one tael, two dollars and five dollars, ten kilograms of rice, one and a half kilograms of soybean oil, two kilograms of pork, and a piece of linen. Gu Xiucai will check it."

I have read it in my memory, and I know a lot of things, so I came here with a backpack on my back today.

As for the original owner, he paid for someone from the yamen to send him to his home. Huolu Town was not big, and the yamen did not have much to eat. Gu Beizhi was willing to spend money, and they were naturally willing to earn this extra money.

However, they had long heard that Gu Xiucai, the prodigal son, had changed, and they didn't believe it at first, but this time they saw him carrying a bag, and they believed it was true.

There are not many things, and there is no problem for an adult man to carry it home by himself. The original owner just wanted to gain face in this way, but he did not know that face was never given by external things. Have a face.

Gu Beizhi looked at the things that had already been divided. He couldn't ask the yamen to re-weigh them in front of him. He only checked that there were no holes or oil leaks, and put them in the back basket. He took Yueyin and left. .

"Is this Gu Xiucai really changed?" One of the yamen rubbed his chin, and his words were quite regrettable. It used to be that one trip to Wangjiazhuang could get 50 coins, but now this good thing is gone, what a pity.

The clerk in charge of issuing the money glanced at him, "What's the matter? Isn't it enough to take advantage of it? It's good to change it. Gu Bei knows that he has a brain. We can still take the exam and come back, and then we can also get a reward of silver."

The yamen was just a pity, but he didn't have much ideas, and the reward for silver to the clerk was not hopeful, "You can get it, How long have we been in Huolu Town? It's probably due to bad feng shui, or else there will be no new juren after three imperial examinations."

"Feng shui is not good? What nonsense, those are Chen Xiucai, Zhang Xiucai, Li Xiucai and the others were not careful and unexpectedly had an accident before the exam, otherwise they would not have failed three times in a row." The

Xiaoli is not too young, and he has a deep understanding of Huolu Town.

The three people he mentioned were the three who had the best knowledge in the year of the imperial examinations, and there were a few others like Gu Beizhi who had spirituality and a solid foundation, but they were also unable to take the imperial examinations in recent years for various reasons. .

"Hey, it's too strange that three times in a row, I haven't had a single person for nine years, I really think it's a feng shui problem." The yamen touched his chin and said very firmly, "You should find a master to take a look and change it. Change the feng shui of our town."

The clerk knocked on him with the notebook, "Nonsense, if the feng shui is not good, then Wang Qinglin and Wang Juren will have nothing to do with it, and Liu Juren is born, you can talk about it, Why are these two alright?"

"Forget about Wang Juren, how many years ago did Liu Juren cite? At least 20 years ago, and Wang Juren was also 12 years ago. nothing..."

The yamen had to separate himself from the clerk, but the clerk had no time to listen to his nonsense, so he pushed him out of the house and locked the door, "Okay, let's go on errands, I'm still busy here."

Gu Bei knew Knowing their conversation, he was taking the ticket to the designated butcher shop to exchange two pounds of meat. This is a bit like the Hua Kingdom in the 20th century. Only with a ticket can you get something...

Gu Beizhi shook his head, involuntarily I thought of a certain piece of history, and I talked to the butcher at the butcher's shop, and the vote was given.

The butcher was a skilled hand. He saw that Gu Beizhi was polite and polite. He didn't have to be fat or thin like other people. .

"Gu Xiucai has it, this big bone is a good thing to take back to make soup. I'll add another one for you." The butcher spoke loudly, but he deliberately lowered his voice when he talked about adding a bone.

Gu Beizhi was a little surprised. After thanking him again and again, he took the meat and bones and left.

He didn't delay, and went home with everything on his back. When he got home, he was sweating and his mouth was dry.

"Xiaozhou, I'm back." He knocked on the door.

When Guan Zhou heard the movement, he hurried over and opened the door. When Gu Beizhi was not at home, he had to close the door and plug it in. This was Gu Beizhi's request. Guan Zhou did not know the reason, so he obeyed obediently.

"Come back? Come in quickly, I'll get you some water after drying." Guan Zhou lowered his head habitually, his voice still not loud, but he was much more cheerful than when he didn't dare to say a word at first.

In particular, he was very careful. He estimated that it would take time to dry the water, and when Gu Beizhi came back, he could drink water with just the right temperature.

Gu Beizhi put the things on the kitchen door, took the bowl that Guan Zhou handed over and drank water, "Xiaozhou, I got ten catties of rice, a little oil and two catties of meat, and the uncle from the butcher shop also gave me a bone. The bones are stewed today."

"Hey, I see, I'll stew it in a while." Guan Zhou took the bowl back and added another bowl of water.

Gu Beizhi felt that he was still a little thirsty, Guan Zhou had poured a second bowl of water for him and showed a smile, this time he really quenched his thirst, "By the way, there is also Yueyin, a total of one or two, five cents, and a fraction of a cent. I'll take it for pocket money, you can keep this or two, don't be reluctant to buy it." Gu Beizhi divided the money into two parts, took the smaller part himself, and gave the larger part to Guan Zhou, and let him take it as his own. home.

He gave it calmly , and said, "I usually buy what I want. It's hard to take care of the children all day long. I should reward myself." , Gu Beizhi didn't care, but said another thing, "By the way, I also sent a linen cloth. The material is a bit thick and the color is not good. You can do something."

"Well, in a while . I'll take a look."

"Okay, I'm going to rest for a while, and I have to go to town in the afternoon. Do you have anything to buy?"

"There's not much salt at home."

"Got it."
