Chapter 191 He is my fiancé
"The Story of the Stone"?
Everyone was immediately deflated.
What a crappy name. What's so good about it?
People were not very interested in this book.
But I couldn’t wait to buy the bamboo paper and go to the second floor to read.
They urged Lin Xiuran.
Lin Xiuran had no choice but to move aside and let everyone line up and enter the shop one by one.
Some people think that if they buy today, they can queue up again tomorrow and buy another one.
But this was wrong again, because the brothers Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan would record the buyer's name and where he went to school. If he did not go to school, he would record his home address.
This way, you don’t have to come back again to claim the discount.
The discount coupons are for everyone to try out, to promote the store, not for charity.
Chai Ya and Lin Xue are responsible for the upstairs.
Lin Xue is the fourth daughter of the Lin family. She has been able to read and write since childhood, so these tasks are no problem for her.
Ever since Lin Zhiyi saved Lin Xue, Lin Xue has been wanting to repay Lin Zhiyi.
The next morning, Lin Xue fetched some water, took a towel and waited outside the door.
When she heard Lin Zhiyi get up, she went in and wanted to serve Lin Zhiyi like a maid.
But she was scolded by Lin Zhiyi: "You are the fourth daughter of the Lin family, how can you degrade yourself like this?"
Lin Xue knelt down and said, "Cousin, I will never be able to repay the kindness you have shown us in our fourth room. Please let me be your maid. That way I will feel better."
Lin Zhiyi frowned, "What's the point of being grateful or not? We're all family, isn't it normal for us to help each other? Besides, the affection between family members should be remembered in our hearts. How can someone be like you? Hurry up and get up, or Fourth Aunt will be sad if she sees you."
Lin Xue stood up, "Cousin..."
"Alright, I don't need a maid. I don't even order Chai Ya around, let alone my own sister."
"Then cousin, please arrange something for me to do."
Everyone seems to be very busy. Lin Zhiyi has arranged a full schedule for everyone, and even Lin Luchen is nowhere to be seen every day.
As for her, her cousin told her to do whatever she wanted, such as doing needlework at home.
Her needlework is not very good and she can't make money from it, so she doesn't want to do it.
"Okay, stay here for now. I'll give you something to do later."
Several months have passed since Lin Zhiyi said this, and Lin Xue still hasn't waited for her cousin to arrange a job for her.
Even when she hired a literate craftsman in the bamboo paper workshop, her cousin didn't use her.
The book printer seemed to be paid very well, fifty cents a day, which made her really jealous.
Lin Xue's mother Liu and Aunt Xue were both assigned to the braised food shop.
Lin Xue would go to the braised food shop to help out every day.
Yesterday, Lin Zhiyi suddenly found Lin Xue and asked her if she would like to work as a female shopkeeper in a bookstore. This really made Lin Xue happy, and she quickly said, "I do, I do."
Lin Xue really didn't expect that her cousin would trust her so much.
She was watching from the second floor to prevent anyone from causing trouble or stealing books.
She really liked the job her cousin gave her.
From time to time, there were a few scholars looking for books, and Lin Xue would patiently help them find them.
All the books on the second floor were arranged by her. She classified them carefully when arranging the books, and naturally she also remembered where the books were placed.
Lin Zhiyi would go to help wherever there was busy.
Zhao Zhan could only do rough work because he had never been to school and knew only a limited number of words.
When he sees that the paper on the first floor is sold out, he will go to the inner room to bring out more paper.
Li Wenjing goes wherever Lin Zhiyi goes.
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, it really is you. I just saw from a distance that you look just like me. Are you here to buy books too?"
Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt that the voice was familiar. She turned around and saw that the man in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Zhiyuan's face froze and he said, "I am Zhao Zhiyuan."
There are two scholars in the entire Xishui Village. Zhao Zhiyuan has always been praised by others, but I didn’t expect that Lin Zhiyi didn’t even remember his name.
"Zhao Zhiyuan? Sorry, I don't know you."
Zhao Zhiyuan was now even more embarrassed and his face turned red.
He didn't expect that Miss Lin didn't remember him at all when they met.
He sighed.
Originally, he still held out hope and wanted to wait until he passed the imperial examination before proposing to the Lin family.
Several of his classmates noticed Zhao Zhiyuan's embarrassment and laughed sarcastically, "Brother Zhao, this couldn't be the Miss Lin you always talk about, could it?"
Lin Zhiyi suddenly thought that this person was Aunt Zhao's nephew from her husband's family. Just because she called him "Mr. Zhao", Li Wenjing had been jealous for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyi smiled.
"It turned out to be Mr. Zhao."
Seeing that Lin Zhiyi finally remembered, Zhao Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Miss Lin, are you here to buy books too? What book do you want to buy? I'll help you find it."
After saying this, he glanced proudly at several classmates nearby.
Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, what book do you need? I'll help you find it. I'm more familiar with it than you are. I also happen to know the owner of this shop, so I can give you a discount."
"Oh? That's great. I'll trouble Miss Lin then..."
Before Zhao Zhiyuan could finish, Li Wenjing stepped forward and asked, "Zhizhi, who is this?"
Lin Zhiyi paused and couldn't help but glance at Li Wenjing.
Doesn’t he know Zhao Zhiyuan?
"He is Mr. Zhao from Xishui Village. My mother is very close to his aunt."
After that, Lin Zhiyi introduced Li Wenjing to Zhao Zhiyuan. "He is my fiancé. We plan to get married next month. If Mr. Zhao would do you the honor, you can come over for a drink at the wedding."
Li Wenjing had a proud look on his face.
Lin Zhiyi curled her lips, feeling that Li Wenjing was becoming more and more attached to her.
It wasn't that she had to marry Li Wenjing, but that Li Wenjing had to marry her. Look, he set the wedding date with his parents and only informed her afterwards.
Zhao Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Li Wenjing.
It was only after seeing this that I realized what it meant to feel ashamed of myself.
He has been the pride of the Zhao family since he was a child. He grew up under the halo and everyone who saw him would praise him.
But when he saw the man in front of him today, he felt that he was not as good as him at all.
But judging from his clothes, he doesn't seem like a scholar.
"Excuse me, where are you studying?"
Zhao Zhiyuan spoke for some unknown reason.
"My dear teacher, Su Weiyue."
Zhao Zhiyuan was shocked.
Is he Su Gong's student?
Li Wenjing's words immediately attracted many students, including Zhao Zhiyuan's classmates.
Everyone looked over.
Someone asked directly: "Su Weiyue, Master Su has served as a scholar for three dynasties and is now the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince. Are you his student?"
I originally thought that Li Wenjing's teacher had the same name as Su Gong, but unexpectedly Li Wenjing said directly: "That's right."
Everyone immediately looked at him with disdain. This guy was really bragging without thinking, which was an insult to the literati.
Even Zhao Zhiyuan showed a mocking look.
Su Gong was far away in Chang'an, while he was in Fangzhou, thousands of miles apart. How could his teacher be Su Gong?
"Since you are a disciple of Master Su, I believe you have already achieved great success. May I ask what your current status is?"
