Make a fortune by farming in another world

Chapter 41

Yu Zhou pulled open the stool and was about to sit inside when he paused. He raised his eyelids and quickly glanced at the book in the master's hand. The familiar cover and binding showed that it was undoubtedly the storybook he copied for the bookstore before.

He hesitated for a moment, then stood back at the corner of the table, muttering, "Master... also reading storybooks?"

"You..." Mr. Wen's prepared words of reprimand were blocked by his question, so he threw the book on the table and scolded, "Answer the question properly!"

Yu Zhou lowered his head and pouted, "Master, you should know the situation in my family. A few months ago, when my husband first came to my house, we almost had no food to eat. If we hadn't taken the job of copying books in the bookstore, we would have either begged in various villages or starved to death."

"Didn't I tell you not to copy books?" Mr. Wen knocked on the desk twice.

Yu Zhou looked up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise, "Sir, since you don't object to me copying books, why did you scare me just now?"

Mr. Wen looked at Yu Zhou with disdain, "I didn't expect that you usually look quite smart, but you are so stupid about this matter."

"I...how am I stupid?" Yu Zhou asked puzzled.

"Whether they are copying books for the academy or writing storybooks, they all know to avoid the fonts they usually use," Mr. Wen said, getting more and more angry. He picked up the storybook on the table, opened it and placed it in front of Yu Zhou, knocking, "Look at your font, how is it different from the font you usually use when writing poems?"

After a while, seeing that Yu Zhou still looked frightened, he added: "So I can tell at a glance that you copied this storybook!"

Yu Zhou was not really frightened, he just suddenly realized that he had previously thought that scholars looked down on copying and writing storybooks, which was actually a pit in their brains. Now that I think about it, those who have the time to look down on this and that, in addition to those who are extremely pedantic, there should also be some people who have good family conditions and don't worry about their livelihood.

Those who are extremely pedantic, no matter how poor their family is, probably feel at ease being supported by their family, after all, they are scholars, while the latter, it is impossible for them to copy books, and they think that those who do these things are disrespectful, both are cruel and vicious.

And if you think about it carefully, those story books are probably sold to this part of people.

As for those who really want to make money by copying books to support their families, it is not easy to copy story books in a different font as the gentleman said, how many people can do it?

No wonder Wu Changlin told him that there was a shortage of copyists in the bookstore.

After Mr. Wen finished talking, he calmed down a lot. After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Yu Zhou, he slowed down his tone and asked, "How many books have you copied for the bookstore? You are not copying anymore now, right?"

"No," Yu Zhou said quickly, "I only copied ten books before."

"Not many, it shouldn't cause any trouble in the future." Mr. Wen nodded slightly, and reminded Yu Zhou, "No matter what you do in the future, you must consider the consequences before acting, don't copy the book again. , leaving hidden dangers outside. "

"Thank you for your teaching, Mr., I will remember it in my heart." Yu Zhou bowed and thanked him, and then asked, "You won't blame me? Or punish me to recite or something?"
