After He Jinshu finished reading, Chen Chen shook his head and said seriously, "Ah Shu, you read the contract incorrectly."
"What's wrong?" He Jinshu asked in confusion.
Chen Chen stretched out a hand and gestured to He Jinshu, saying as he did so, "The one you read has five more words than the one just now."
He Jinshu paused holding the contract when he heard this, then asked calmly, "Why did you say I read five extra words?"
Chen Chen looked at He Jinshu strangely, then said, "Although I can't read, I can still tell how many words are in each column on your contract and how many columns there are in total. The contract you just read clearly has five more words than the one on this paper."
After saying that, he added doubtfully, "Ashu, how did you get into the exam to become such a talented scholar?"
He Jinshu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart after hearing Chen Zhen's last sentence. He actually doubted my true level to pass the exam to become a scholar?
Village chief Wu and several elders looked at He Jinshu's deflated look and held back their snorts in their hearts. "I allowed you to bully Brother Zhen because he can't read, and now you're humiliated, right?"
Seeing that He Jinshu was silent, Chen Zhen took the contract and handed it to Village Chief Wu, then said to him, "Village Chief, please read this contract to me."
Village Chief Wu had taught himself some books in the town before, so he knew a few words, but his handwriting was not very good.
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Wu took the contract and read it to Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen didn't find any problems and signed it directly.
In Dongli Kingdom, scholars are not allowed to do business, so this contract can only be signed and sealed by Shen Zhen.
After the village chief and the others had signed and sealed the contract, both parties put it away. Then Chen Chen said to He Jinshu, who was standing aside, not knowing what he was thinking, "Ah Shu, let's go."
After saying that, she took his hand and walked outside.
After leaving the Wu family courtyard, Chen Chen saw that He Jinshu looked a little unhappy, so he asked, "Ah Shu, are you unhappy?"
He Jinshu glanced at Chen Zhen, then deliberately said: "Some people say that I am not good at studying and that I am a fake scholar."
After hearing this, Chen Chen moved closer to He Jinshu, then looked at him and said with a smile: "Ah Shu, are you angry when I said that to you just now?"
He Jinshu snorted and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Chen Zhen said, "You were the one who lied to me first, weren't you? If you hadn't lied to me, I definitely wouldn't have said that about you."
After saying that, he asked again: "Ashu, will you lie to me again in the future?"
"I won't lie anymore." He Jinshu said lightly. The most important thing is that I can't seem to deceive you, He Jinshu thought to himself.
How come you, a man who can't even read a single word, remember numbers so clearly? And you can even count the words I read.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen nodded and said, "Ashu is the smartest scholar in our village."
He Jinshu didn't respond much to his praise. He just shook the hand he was holding and said, "We are still in the village. Let go of your hand for now."
Seeing this, Chen Zhen obediently let go of his hand, but he still said to He Jinshu: "Ah Shu, we are legally married. You should get used to this kind of behavior in the future and don't care too much about other people's opinions."
"I understand." He Jinshu said.
The rules and etiquette he had been taught since childhood prevented him from being too affectionate in front of others, but since Chen Zhen asked him to get used to this way, he would try to accept it slowly in the future.
After the two returned home, they chatted with Grandma He and the others, then packed up and went to town.
After arriving in the town, He Jinshu and Shen Zhen went to the library to study again.
After studying for a while, Chen Zhen went to the display screen to see if there were any new and interesting books on the bookshelf.
After searching for a while, he suddenly found a book called "Practical Tool Set". He was curious about what kind of practical tool it was, so he clicked on borrowing, and then the book appeared on the table.
Then he went to the table and saw that this book was different from the other books. It had an extra buckle than the other books.
Chen Zhen opened the buckle and found that this was not a book at all, but a box with many pencils neatly arranged inside. There were 12 colors in total, but most of them were black.
In addition to the pencils, there are also sets of six mechanical pencils, two pencil sharpeners, two erasers and a ruler.
He Jinshu saw Chen Zhen open the box, then picked up a pencil and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
It is about the same thickness as a little finger, black on the outside, but with dots of different colors in the middle.
"This is a pencil," Chen Chen explained to him, "This is used for writing."
After that, he said happily: "Ashu, you can use a pencil to write. It is much more convenient than using a brush."
"How do I use this?" He Jinshu still looked puzzled.
Chen Chen picked up a set of mechanical pencils and said to He Jinshu, "Let's not use that pencil for now. Let's use this mechanical pencil first. It's more convenient."
After that, he took apart a set of mechanical pencils, took out the refills, and put them into the pen holder. Then he took a piece of paper and said to He Jinshu, "I'll write it for you to see."
After saying that, Chen Zhen wrote the three words "He Jinshu" on the paper.
Chen Zhen wrote in simplified Chinese characters, so He Jinshu was familiar with the first two characters, but had no idea what the latter one was. However, he felt that Chen Zhen's handwriting was very good.
After writing, Chen Chen handed it to He Jinshu and said, "Look, this is how you write. You can also use this eraser to erase it after you're done."
After saying that, he took out an eraser from the box and rubbed it, and then the words on the paper disappeared, leaving it blank.
He Jinshu felt that Chen Chen had once again opened the door to a new world for him.
So he took the pen from Chen Zhen's hand and wanted to write on the paper.
However, he is used to writing with a brush. Now if you ask him to write with a pencil, he doesn't even know how to hold the pen.
So Chen Zhen taught He Jinshu how to hold a pen and how to write.
After He Jinshu got used to it, he started writing with a pencil, but he was not very used to it, and his handwriting was a little crooked.
Chen Zhen comforted him, "It's okay, Ah Shu, just practice more and you'll be fine. With these pencils, it will be much easier for you to take notes. This library is really great, it has everything."
He Jinshu nodded when he heard this. He didn't know who built this library, but it was so magical.
