Under the eaves, Liu Heng sat on the stone steps, recalling the scene of countless times in the past six years when his teacher taught his son to read, and the scene of the fierce dispute with Mr. just now, he felt all kinds of feelings in his heart for a while.

The winter rain was colder than snow, Liu Heng was excited, and his thoughts suddenly turned around, "What are you doing to support your family?"

"It's good to go to the yamen to be a scribe, the most suitable thing is to be a master, and you can afford a well-off family. But these sought-after positions, I don't know how many people are staring at them, and they have to compete for relationships and net worth. I don't even have to think about it, there is a holy decree pressing, and now that the matter of being killed by the imperial envoy has not been cleared up, and I am too young, who would dare to accept me in? ”

"Go to a commercial bank to do bookkeeping, and go to a big household to be a housekeeper?"

"It's not bad, but unfortunately I don't know if anyone dares to take me. Liu Heng muttered, seeing that the drizzle gradually stopped, he got up and walked out of the eaves, "Let's go to the Fang Market first and look for opportunities." ”

The sound of reading aloud came from the school, but Liu Heng went the other way.

......

"Pancakes, hot and fragrant, freshly baked pancakes!"

"Li Ji ginger noodles, a century-old shop!"

"Measure the eight characters, calculate the fortune, and determine the bad luck!"

The morning market has opened, and although there are fewer people than usual because of the imperial envoy's big case, it is still lively. Breakfast sellers, fortune tellers, vegetable sellers, meat sellers, and herb sellers all kinds of shouts come and go, and in winter the heat rises everywhere, and the noise is chaotic.

"Do you want to keep accounts?"

"Where's the little bunny, get out of here and play!"

"Do you want Mr. Bookkeeper?

"Just kidding, a yellow-haired boy dares to lie to people, and he hasn't been weaned yet, haha!"

At the door of one shop after another, I saw a small figure constantly coming in and out, and the helplessness and distress on his face became heavier and heavier.

"It's a real loss to be young!" Liu Heng only felt depressed, and after entering, he was ridiculed for a few words, and he was seriously pushed out by the fierce gods, "I don't have a discerning eye, try my skills, I am also a prodigy, you can find me to be an accountant, you make a lot of money, and you still dislike me?"

What Liu Heng couldn't accept the most was that there was a jewelry shop, as well as a place that sold antiques and pawnshops, and the place where he ate all by eyesight was so superficial, and he kicked him out, what kind of vision? curse you not to open for the rest of your life!

After eating a stomach, it was noon, Liu Heng took out the green nest head and ate it viciously, it was still the fragrance of Uncle He's craftsmanship, although the nest heads of other houses were yellow, his was weirdly green, but the taste was better!

The shops on several streets were basically asked, but no errand was found, Liu Heng was irritable and wandered around blankly.

"Qinglou?"

Standing in front of the glossy three-story building, Liu Heng thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I have seen it in several books, when many celebrities and gentlemen were poor, they all mixed in this place, and wrote a lot of poems and articles that have been passed down for centuries, bottle wine beauties, so chic, it must also be a place where readers can make money, why didn't I think of it before, I should have come to see it earlier!"

Liu Heng stepped in, only to see that the hall was bright, luxurious and brilliant everywhere, and the beauties standing on the railing in the attic were all satin light yarn, inlaid with gold and silver...... The book didn't lie to me, it's really a good place, and it's not bad for money when you look at it!

After browsing around, Liu Heng was even more satisfied.

"Yo! What a suave boy, is the son here so early?" Before entering the door, a man wearing a prime minister's hat bowed down to greet him, greeting him as if he was familiar, and smiling flatteringly.

"It's not early. ”

When he mentioned it, Liu Heng regretted that he woke up too late, "I didn't come until after noon......"

"It's not early!" The stairs clicked softly, and a woman with still charm shook her willow waist slightly, glared at the man in the hat vaguely, and then waved the silk scarf at Liu Heng, and said with a sweet smile: "Childe is here for the first time, what do you want to eat?"

The smell of rouge hit his face, it smelled very good, Liu Heng was a little smoky, but he immediately tried to sober his head, looked around, and saw the pillars, walls and beam plaques, all of which had pen and ink handwriting, each with its own style, and suddenly felt that he had found a way for his predecessors to make a fortune here.

"After eating, let's get down to business!" Liu Heng waved his sleeves and said confidently.

So straightforward?

So**?

The woman was also shocked, but she had been in the scene for a long time, and she could deal with any kind of strange things, and suddenly smiled: "The son sits down for a while, and the girls are coming!"

Then he turned his head and shouted to the attic, "Girls, come down and entertain you!"

The exquisitely carved gatehouses were pushed open one after another, and I saw more than a dozen women going downstairs one after another and surrounding Liu Heng. or smiling like a flower, or cold or plump, or like a sick child, each with its own demeanor, bursts of fragrant wind, swaying Liu Heng is a little swaying.

"Childe, the girls of our family, all of them are good!

This is really the most friendly place for readers, and there are beauties to serve them, Liu Heng likes this treatment even more, and picks one casually, "Just her." ”

"Hey!"

"Childe is really a good eye!" the woman praised with a smile, and the other women were waved away by her resentful gaze, Liu Heng couldn't bear to look at each other, "This is Liu Hong, the number one in our family, with a gentle personality, and the most able to serve a son of your age!"

The woman left behind was slim, her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were like water, and she was about to get closer, Liu Heng suddenly said unhappily: "Where is the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

I was in such a hurry before, and now I have the leisure to write and draw again?

The woman was stunned for a while, but she had to serve her customers well when doing business, so she pushed the man wearing the prime minister's hat, glared and said, "Why are you in a daze, why don't you hurry up and help the son get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

Soon, the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone were presented to the table, Liu Heng took a deep breath, and said in his heart that the first business must be off to a good start!

Lifting the pen and meditating, Liu Heng leaned over and waved the ink, the writing was like flowing water, the words were in style, and a poem that Liu Heng was best at was written in a moment.

"Okay! Baiyang Lin Xing, Liuxi Lying on the Stone, I saw the late autumn when I woke up...... What a "Lying Stone Sticker"!"

"Childe has good skills, he has such a ability at this age, the slave family is really eye-opening......"

"Rigid and soft, round and smooth, good words, the son is talented! It has to be hung in the hall!" The three of them praised again and again, and the woman immediately instructed the man in the prime minister's hat to hang the words.

Liu Heng himself also felt that he played very well, and when he saw that they all liked it, he was also happy, this is a good start, what price should he ask?

"Liu Hong, help Gongzi go to the room. ”

The woman came over softly, and was about to help Liu Heng leave, Liu Heng was in a hurry, the money hadn't been given yet, and he didn't take the initiative to mention it, did he want to rely on my account? No, I had to ask for it cheekily, "A few people, the money of "Lying Stone Sticker" ......"

"What money?" all three were stunned.

After a while, the two big men carried Liu Heng out of the house and threw Liu Heng to the ground, the woman had already changed her face, and sneered: "Mao Du has not yet grown up, so he dares to learn from others to cheat, and he doesn't look at what kind of place this is!

"It's really unreasonable, you don't give money for taking my words, and you throw me out, it's too much!" Liu Heng jumped up, also shocked and angry.

Syllable!

The crumpled "Lying Stone Sticker" smashed on Liu Heng's face, and the man in the hat said disdainfully: "What a broken word, it's better than what I wrote!"

"You, you!" Liu Heng was so angry that his chest rose and fell, how humiliating, he wanted to come forward to argue but when he saw two evil men holding his chest, he could only leave angrily, "Do you think my words are broken?

When he walked away, he calmed down while slapping the dust, Liu Heng was a little sad, "Are the books all deceitful? Those seniors can make money here to support themselves, why can't I? Is it my wrong way?"

Another hope was disappointed, but this time Liu Heng finally gained insight and understood that making money in Qinglou is also a technical job, and there is no need to count on this place before he has figured out the mysteries.

He remembered the sentence "I want to see how you support yourself" when Mr. scolded him angrily, and he thought it would be very easy before, but after most of the day, he only had a deep sigh.

If you want to make money, it's so hard!

Even he, a prodigy, has repeatedly hit a wall, and others are afraid that it is even more difficult.

"It seems that there is only one strategy left, write letters and write Spring Festival couplets for others...... "This line of work should be literate, but you can only earn hard money, and you can't show Liu Heng's ability, but now there is no other choice, you have to make a living first."

Set up a stall on the book basket to write good words, "read letters and write letters", simple and straightforward, and it can be regarded as settling on the street. It's a pity that it didn't open in the middle of the ring, and eighty percent of them all thought that he was young, so they couldn't trust his ability, and everyone looked at him with suspicion.

"Can't even earn this money?" Liu Heng was extremely helpless.

On the other hand, there is a martial arts troupe, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the cheers and exclamations come one after another, everyone is elated when they see it, and even Liu Heng can't help but look at it attentively.

"Good!"

"This is real kung fu!"

"Awesome!

I saw a row of copper coins hanging on the horizontal rod, the outer circle and the inner square, the hole was very small, and ten meters away was a green girl who drank delicately, shook her hand and flew out with a small black dot, and went straight through all the copper coin eyes, leaving a red line, and hit the wall with a soft sound and fell. When people looked at it, it was just a small paper ball, and they immediately applauded.

The paper ball is already difficult to use, and if you change a strong man to throw it, it is estimated that it looks soft and weak, but it is a heroic girl, and the paper ball flies out as fast as electricity, and it is so accurate, it can be called a miracle!

There is a young man who lifts the heavy stone that neither of them can lift with one hand, throws it up like dough and catches it, and rolls it on the back of his shoulder, which simply interprets the word "lightweight" to the extreme.

Liu Heng's heart suddenly became hot.
