A hoarse voice rang in her ears, and Ye Wanwan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Oh no, this is not going to get out of hand, is it? She is just a talker, "Lin Xu'an, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, is Wanwan expecting me to do something? Be good, it's time for you to go to bed." There were only a few steps from the table to the bed. Lin Xu'an put the person in his arms on the bed and naturally took off her shoes.

Ye Wanwan couldn't help but laugh at the words that sounded like coaxing a child, and said, "Good night then."

"Good night." Lin Xu'an extinguished the candle and patiently tucked in the quilt for Ye Wanwan. His movements were very familiar, as if he had done it countless times.

Good night, Ye Wanwan, I hope everything goes well.

The early bird catches the worm, the early chicken gets scolded. Ye Wanwan buried her head in the quilt. For the first time, she felt that the crowing of the chicken was so annoying.

"I'm cold and don't want to get up." Ye Wanwan turned over and wrapped herself in the quilt, leaving only her delicate face exposed.

Lin Xu'an, who had been reading for a while, gently closed the book and said, "It's a bit cold. I'll take you to town to buy some clothes later."

"Just kidding, I'm just a little lazy." Clothes need to be bought, but I have no money now. Ye Wanwan felt a little sad. It's true that a penny can make a hero fall!

Thinking of Ye Ansheng, Ye Wanwan ignited her fighting spirit and decided to step out of her comfort zone. "I have to get up, otherwise Ansheng will laugh at me again."

The bed is the grave of youth. She has to work hard and struggle. Well, she just wants to prove that she is not a lazy person.

"Are you really going? I was planning to go tomorrow." After breakfast, Ye Wanwan was happily basking in the sun. When she looked up, she saw Lin Xu'an carrying a bag.

Lin Xu'an patted the bag in his hand and explained, "Why don't we go today? I have to return the book I borrowed today."

"That's fine. But I have to go again tomorrow. When I have money tomorrow, I will buy you something delicious." Ye Wanwan stood up and said with a smile.

Ye Ansheng appeared out of nowhere and started clapping his hands in celebration. "Thank you, sister. I'll bring some back and share it with my brother and the eldest brother."

"Okay, one for each of us, okay?" Ye Wanwan remained calm in the face of danger, and her main skill was to be able to adapt to circumstances.

Ye Ansheng was visibly happier and nodded obediently, "Okay!"

"Then you continue to practice the characters you learned yesterday, and I will start teaching you the day after tomorrow." After settling Ye Ansheng down, the two of them walked towards the town.

It is extremely boring to have to rely on your own two legs to travel the whole way, but fortunately, there is someone to keep you company, so it doesn't seem so boring.

"Are all the books at home borrowed?" Ye Wanwan asked casually, remembering that the Lin family had a big box full of books. She still knew too little.

"Those enlightenment books are at home. For other books, I usually borrow them from the bookstore in town." Lin Xu'an answered every question without any ambiguity.

"That bookstore owner is quite nice. Can I use the books in his house?"

"Of course, but I have to tell Dad that he treasures books very much."

"Then I'll tell you when I get back..."

…

"Lin Xu'an, are you on good terms with the bookstore owner?"

"It's okay. I helped him out a little by chance. He gave me a chance to copy books and lent me some books from time to time."

"Oh, then can I borrow a book?" Ye Wanwan walked forward with her head down, like a childish ghost, making the fallen leaves on the ground squeak, and turned her head to ask.

Lin Xu'an nodded and said, "Just let me know later. I have the deposit there."

"Okay, okay, what else are you hiding from me, Lin Xu'an?" Ye Wanwan pretended to be angry, and her little face fell in an instant.

Lin Xu'an walked up and took Ye Wanwan's hand, "No, I came to tell you today. As for us, we will get to know each other slowly in the future."

"So how much money do you have?" She couldn't tolerate others being richer than her! She, Ye Wanwan, wanted to be the richest in this family!

"I'm not as rich as Wanwan. I only have two taels of silver, which I used as a deposit."

Ye Wanwan was a little shocked. Lin Xu'an actually had two taels of silver! "Good fellow, where did you get two taels of silver? Does your family know about it?"

"I know, but I can't withdraw it. These are all exchanged for copying books, and the rest is the deposit for me to borrow books." Lin Xu'an explained.

But when winter arrived and everyone was hiding their hands in their sleeves, Ye Wanwan looked at Lin Xu'an's chilblained hands and fiercely ordered, "Don't copy anymore. I'll make money to buy you books!"

"Oh, that's good." Ye Wanwan nodded. Being able to support oneself is also great!

The bookstore is not very big, and the sign hanging on it is a bit old. It is packed with things. Overall, it is small but has everything.

"It's Lin Xu'an, you're here." The bookstore owner, who was busy fiddling with an abacus, raised his head when he heard the sound.

Lin Xu'an took the book out of the bag and placed it on the table. "Uncle Zeng, these are the books I borrowed last time. Please take inventory."

"Okay, someone asked me yesterday if I had the book you copied! He said he liked your handwriting and asked me to notify him when I got it." Zeng Yi said as he flipped through the record book and marked each one.

Lin Xu'an nodded. "I was just about to tell you about this. Winter is a bit free, so I'm planning to take some home to copy."

"That's fine. Go and take a look at the book you want to borrow. This must be your wife. She is quite a match for you. What a pity." Zeng Yi touched his sparse beard and sighed.

Ye Wanwan secretly sighed that the old man had good vision, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Zeng."

"Okay, you two go ahead. Just watch it carefully and tell my old man." After Zeng Yi said that, he picked up his smooth and shiny abacus and started playing with it one by one.

The bookstore is divided into three areas: one side sells pens, ink, paper and inkstones, one side sells books, and the other side sells books that have been borrowed.

"Wanwan, are you interested in these?" Lin Xu'an looked at the two unofficial histories that Ye Wanwan had carefully selected, and couldn't help but feel curious.

It was amazing that Ye Wanwan could read, but it was not surprising. However, he thought that Ye Wanwan wanted to borrow some books that most girls in the boudoir liked to read to entertain herself.

Ye Wanwan looked at the two books she had picked out and was very satisfied. "Yes, isn't it good to learn more about this world?"

A local gazetteer, a brief history—perfect, isn't it? She could have stayed content in the village, weeding and feeding chickens in her spare time, setting up a small stall to earn a little money, but she had to understand what she needed to understand.

Feudal society has always been known for its cannibalism, and she doesn't want to be a fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by others.
