Make money to support the family.
Xia Shang made a big promise this time, and he had to run the business well next.
The outbreak of the internal conflict in the family also made Xia Shang realize one thing. The reason why the two women were fighting against each other was that he did not have enough say in the family. In order to completely get rid of the impression of being a playboy, he had to make some achievements to show them.
Xia Shang recovered completely after two days of recuperation.
It was strange that Xia Shang's injury was very serious. Most people would need to recuperate for at least half a month before they could barely move, but Xia Shang only rested for five days.
The doctor who treated Xia Shang didn't understand, and Xia Shang himself didn't understand.
Xia Shang had read some medical books and didn't know much about Western medicine, but he had studied Chinese medicine. The prescription given by the doctor was nothing special and should not have a very significant effect, but he recovered so quickly, which was difficult to explain.
Xia Shang thought about this question for a while, but he had no clue and did not go into it further. After all, it was a good thing to recover quickly, so there was no need to dig deep.
Two days later, I went to the Sai Mansion to attend classes again. The book writing plan was halfway through, and it was time to spread it out.
These two days, Miss Sai was very distressed. She took a lot of effort to complete the copying task assigned to her by Xia Shang, just to exchange for the twenty taels of silver.
Logically speaking, Miss Sai would not care about a silver ingot? But she got stuck in a dead end, always thinking that she couldn't let the liar make money for nothing, and she didn't know how much she suffered in order to prevent Xia Shang from taking advantage.
I thought I could get the silver back after copying the book, but who would have thought that the bastard gentleman didn't come for several days in a row, saying that something happened.
How could Sai Jiangnan believe it? She was determined that the gentleman wanted to cheat money and run away, and she went to the county to inquire for two days, but she couldn't get any news.
It's not that she couldn't find out Xia Shang's whereabouts, but Miss Sai didn't know how. Instead of asking the common people, she asked her friends.
How could someone who could get in touch with Miss Sai be ordinary? How could she know about a "Xia Chunqiu" who suddenly appeared? No one knew anything.
Sai Jiangnan didn't find Xia Shang, but she spread the first five chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" that Xia Shang copied for her.
Sai Jiangnan looked beautiful, but she was actually careless. She was not as emotional as ordinary ladies. She was not interested in the love affairs in "Dream of Red Mansions". But her close friends were different. There were many ladies who were good at singing and dancing.
These girls were young girls with delicate minds and spring dreams. They were attracted by the story when they first saw "Dream of Red Mansions". One by one, they clamored for the next chapters.
Sai Jiangnan never thought that a few small articles could cause such a big reaction. Facing the enthusiasm of her friends, she only said that there was no content yet and she would know after the gentleman came.
"Xiao Cui, where else can we find out the whereabouts of the master?" Sai Jiangnan was staring at the fish in the water in a daze in the courtyard outside the bamboo forest.
She agreed to the sisters' request and vowed to get the next chapters. But now there is no sign of the master.
Xiao Cui complained a little, muttering: "If the person is gone, then don't agree. Now I can't do it even if I agree..."
"What are you mumbling about?"
"No...nothing." Xiao Cui shook her head quickly, "Xiao Cui, you mean maybe the master will come today?"
"I hope so." Sai Jiangnan threw a stone into the water out of boredom.
The reason why she agreed to the sisters' request was mainly because she didn't have a high status among them on weekdays, because the friends around her were all ladies from famous families, and they exchanged poems and songs. Sai Jiangnan didn't like it, so she couldn't get a word in, and she seemed out of tune with them, so she was eager to find her own place among them.
There was no chance before, but now that Dream of Red Mansions has become the focus of the group, everyone has repeatedly urged him to get the following chapters, which made Sai Jiangnan feel an unprecedented sense of existence and greatly satisfied his vanity.
Who would care about these things at that time? Of course, he agreed first.
Then the current situation appeared.
If he can't find the person, how can he get the following chapters?
For this reason, Sai Jiangnan was worried.
Just as he was worried, a young man walked slowly from the stone road blocked by green bamboo in front, still holding a ruler. He was unrestrained but lacked some righteousness, and he was elegant but lacked some rigidity. He looked like he was both loved and hated, stupid and handsome, and both good and evil.
"Sir!"
Sai Jiangnan's eyes lit up, and he shouted out crisply almost without thinking.
The key point is that this sound is as clear and pleasant as the sound of spring water dripping on bluestone, as if a young girl in love has waited for her long-awaited lover, and even she blushed a little.
Sai Jiangnan secretly covered her face and asked herself what was wrong?
She should hate this guy very much? Why did she feel so happy when she saw him again after not seeing him for a few days, and even said "Mr." as a word from the heart.
Did she really regard him as a Mr.?
What is this guy capable of?
Could it be that he relied on those chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions"?
He didn't write it either, but asked Cao Xueqin to tell him!
But why do I always feel that he wrote it?
Somehow, when Sai Jiangnan saw Xia Shang this time, countless questions popped up in her mind, and Xia Shang didn't react when he walked in front of her.
"Jiangnan, have you finished copying the book I asked you to copy?"
The question in her ear called Sai Jiangnan back to her spirit. Her pretty body trembled. Seeing the teacher in front of her, she couldn't help blushing again. She said to Xiao Cui in a panic: "Quick, show the teacher the book you copied a few days ago."
Compared with Sai Jiangnan, Xiao Cui's admiration for Xia Shang is even greater!
She looked at Xia Shang as if she was looking at an idol, with bright eyes flashing.
The reason is still because of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Although Xiao Cui is a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, she has been restless for a long time. When she saw the maid's unintentional look back in the opening of "Dream of Red Mansions" hooked the heart of the down-and-out scholar, it was as if she saw herself. She felt that the author of the book was really her soulmate, and all the thoughts of the little maid could not escape the author's pen.
And this author is naturally Mr. Xia.
Xiao Cui now worships Xia Shang to a degree that no one else can compare to, except for the gods worshipped in the temple.
When she heard that she wanted to see the manuscript she had copied earlier, she responded and hurried to get it, fearing that she would be late.
Xia Shang completely underestimated the influence of "Dream of Red Mansions" in ancient times. He had no idea why this pair of unruly master and servant were a little weird, and he was worried that they would find ways to trick him.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Your attitude towards the gentleman has changed a lot? Let me remind you first, put away your little thoughts. Chairman Mao said it well, all reactionaries are paper tigers! I am not afraid of you, sir."
