Not long after, in a post pavilion about two miles away from the North City Gate of Guixiang County, Zheng Peng's word stall began to open.

"Young master, why did we come here to set up a word stall, isn't it good to be in the city?" Lu Shu was a little puzzled.

There are many people in the city, and there are naturally many more business opportunities.

Zheng Peng explained: "The location is good, there is a lot of competition, the most afraid is to shop around, because I am young and I am also a face, it is difficult to get the trust of others, and if I don't get it, I will be thought by others to grab a job, so it is better to try my luck here." ”

Lu Shu nodded suddenly in understanding.

"Are you hungry?" Zheng Peng suddenly asked.

"Hungry." Lu Shu touched her hungry belly and said honestly.

"If you're hungry, do as I teach you."

"Yes, young master."

Midori answered, and then began to shout:

"Hello uncles and uncles, my Xiao Langjun has opened a convenient word stall here, you can read letters, write letters, and give names, why do you say it is convenient for the people, my Xiao Langjun said, the main thing is to experience it, give money casually, no matter how much, if you don't have money, you can give something."

"Come and take a look, come and take a look, write letters, read letters, name names, and make sure that you are satisfied, and if you are not satisfied, you don't need money."

"It's cheap, you can give whatever you want, and you can give things without money."

Reading is a luxury in these years, illiterate people everywhere, the status of readers is very high, ordinary people have to name their children on weekdays, and they have to respectfully go to the local readers' homes with courtesy, and ask them to name them.

I heard that the money is given casually, and it is okay not to give money, and the low-price promotion soon brought the first business, an old man wearing a round-necked linen robe and most of his hair was half gray and said cautiously: "Xiao Langjun, Xiao Lao has a letter sent by a distant relative, he has no money on him, only three eggs and a steamed bun, I wonder if I can help read the letter?"

Zheng Peng and Lu Shu glanced at each other and found that there was a surprise in each other's eyes: now they are so hungry that they are about to faint, not to mention that there are eggs, even if they give a steamed bun to dry.

"Of course, sir, sit down and talk." Zheng Pengqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a smile.

Readers have to be like readers, and if they don't pinch the shelf, people still think that they can't do it.

The letter is not complicated, Zheng Peng read it aloud to the old man, some astringent and difficult words, and patiently explained, the old man nodded again and again, and at the end he wrote a reply for him, and the onlookers also secretly praised:

"This little Langjun is really good, he speaks clearly and clearly."

"People are talented, what's so difficult about this?"

"You see, Xiao Langjun's handwriting is really good."

"It's much better than those gentlemen in the city, you must know that most of those gentlemen don't look at people squarely, and they have to train people if they ask a few more words, this little Langjun is detailed and polite."

"If the unfilial son of my family is half as good as this little Langjun, my old bones will be buried in the soil."

When Lu Shu, who was playing on the side, heard these words, she looked at her young master with some admiration, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: Your own young master is not an ordinary person.

In less than two quarters of an hour, after listening to and reading the letter, and holding a good letter, the old man left eggs and steamed buns, and after thanking him repeatedly, he went away satisfied, and went to the city, read the letter and reply to the letter, and the pen fee was at least ten cents, and the steamed buns and eggs were worth at most three cents.

As soon as the old man left, Zheng Peng immediately picked up the steamed bun and divided it into two, stuffed half of it into his mouth, and handed the other half to Lu Shu on the side.

This time, I can't leave her out.

Lu Shu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her young master to be so hungry and share half of herself, so she came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Young master, you eat first, Lu Shu is not hungry." ”

"Let you take it, what are you talking about" Zheng Peng said a little unhappily: "If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to shout for Young Master Ben?" ”

Zheng Peng had a reproachful tone in his words, but Lu Shu could feel the love in it, happily took half of the steamed bun, glanced at Zheng Peng gratefully, and then ate it with a happy face.

The steamed bun is not big, it was eaten in a few bites, and after eating, he looked at Zheng Peng who was whistling and sorting out the paper, and the corners of Lu Shu's good-looking mouth turned up slightly: The young master is stupid, and he is not fierce at all, he doesn't know it himself, and he is a little cute when he has a tiger face.

When I was thinking about it, Zheng Peng's voice suddenly came: "Lu Shu, what are you still doing, continue to shout and find guests, we haven't been lifted out of poverty yet." ”

"Yes, yes, young master." Midori answered, and then screamed vigorously.

The first business was completed, and soon the second business was ushered in, this time by an old man surnamed Huang.

"Xiao Langjun is good, Xiao Lao wants Xiao Langjun to bother to come up with a name for my grandson." Out of respect for the reader, Uncle Huang bowed to Zheng Peng, who was much younger than himself, and then sat down carefully.

"Old uncle's surname?"

"Don't dare, the little old man is surnamed Huang."

Zheng Peng shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five reading, six seven phases and eight gods, this name is very important, you can't mess around, bother the old man to say your grandson's birthday." ”

When Uncle Huang heard this, his eyes lit up, and his expression became more respectful: "I didn't expect Xiao Langjun to know so much, it seems that Xiao Lao has found the right person." ”

After speaking, he whispered his grandson's birthday.

In the calendar, Huaxia has a unique calendar, the 12 zodiac signs into the year, and then with the heaven and earth, but also pay attention to the five elements, Huang Lao Bo originally held the mood of trying it, as soon as he saw Zheng Peng speak the head, the attitude was more respectful.

After listening to the eight characters of his birthday, Zheng Peng pinched his fingers and counted, and then said: "Let the five elements of the grandson belong to gold, lack of soil, they all say that the earth is born of gold, and the name must be soil to be prosperous, let me think about it." ”

After a while, Zheng Peng wrote a big word "furrow" on the paper, pointed to it and said to Uncle Huang: "Uncle, look, this is called furrow, there is land and land, and it will definitely be able to prosper his grandson." ”

"Huh?" Uncle Huang took a look at it, and quickly said with a smile: "Okay, good, good, this name is good, Xiao Langjun is really knowledgeable, great." ”

As he spoke, he took out the money bag, opened the bag directly, and poured out all the money inside, about seven or eight words, and respectfully placed it on the stone table: "Xiao Langjun, this is a little bit of the old man's heart, please don't dislike it." ”

I originally wanted to give one or two texts a meaning, but this name hit his heart, and as soon as he was happy, he poured it all out.

Copper coins, look at Huang Chengcheng's five plants, the penniless Zheng Peng's eyes couldn't help but light up, a few days penniless, seeing this Huang Chengcheng's copper coin, there is an inexplicable joy, that is, the pupils are a little contracted, it is estimated that this is the legendary money to open his eyes.

I wanted to be humble, but the green Shu on the side was quick-eyed, for fear that Uncle Huang would regret it, so he put it away at once, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for my little Langjun." ”

"No thanks, no thanks, it's good that Xiao Langjun doesn't dislike it." Uncle Huang said happily.

After Uncle Huang left, Lu Shu's eyes lit up, and she happily counted the copper coins again, and then asked in a low voice, "Young Master, how do you know so many people?"

"Mr. I Ching has a teaching, just calculate it."

"The young master is really powerful, a name, then Uncle Huang was so happy that he poured out all the money."

With the effect of Uncle Huang, there was no need to shout, and soon a middle-aged man surnamed Zhao took the initiative to sit down.......

In the evening, the sun was about to go down, and there were fewer and fewer people on the post road, so the two of them were a little reluctant to put away their stalls, and were busy walking in the direction of the county seat, and they had to enter the city when the city gate was closed.

"Lushu, how much money did we make?"

"Back to the young master, we now have fifty-two yuan, three catties of rice, and a basket of eggs, dried meat, vegetables, melons and fruits." Lu Shumei said with a smile.

The money was counted several times, and the copper coins were polished brightly, and many people chose to use melons and fruits and other things to thank them, filling most of the baskets, and even saving money and vegetables to buy rice.

This is good, I still want to have a steamed bun in the morning to be satisfied, and I can eat a big meal in the evening.

The young master is really powerful, many guests saw him so young, and he was a little underestimated at the beginning, but in the young master's efforts of three inches of incorruptible tongue, they all left with a smile on their faces, and there was a generous uncle, and they also gave the two of them a piece of jerky weighing three catties.

On the way back, Lu Shu was very interested, and asked as she walked: "Young master, you are really amazing, you have all said the names well, by the way, why did you name Uncle Huang's grandson Huang Qi?"

"The biggest hope of the Zhuang family is to have their own fields, and the old people naturally like it."

"What about the uncle surnamed Zhao, why did he name his son Zhao Zhanpeng?"

"It's very simple, although the uncle surnamed Zhao is also a Zhuanghu person, but the clothes he wears are silk, and he speaks decently, and his family background should be good.

"Young Master, you're really amazing, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"What's so difficult about this, as long as you observe carefully, do what you like, and do everything you want."

When I got home, I didn't need Zheng Peng's order, Lu Shu was very conscious of washing rice and cooking, I wanted to save a little use, just scrambled eggs and vegetables, but Zheng Peng didn't care, he said that he wanted to celebrate well, and after a tired day, he also had to treat himself, and let Lu Shu cut more than half of the jerky to cook.

Lu Shu has been wandering outside with her father since she was a child, don't look at her young age, but her cooking skills are not bad, the fried dishes are full of color and fragrance, and Zheng Peng, who is hungry, is not polite.

"Young master, slow down, come, drink saliva first." Lu Shu waited for Zheng Peng to finish drinking, and carefully sent a bowl of water.

After drinking the water, Zheng Peng hiccuped comfortably and comfortably set up Erlang's legs.

Now Zheng Peng understands the truth that "a million family fortunes are better than a skill", in his previous life, he was considered to have accumulated wealth, but he couldn't bring a penny, and now he still relies on knowledge to make money.
