He had obtained the title of Scholar. The most important thing at the moment was to go to the county school and actively prepare for the subsequent provincial examination to obtain the title of Juren. However, now he had no extra experience to spend on studying.
Originally, he thought copying books was a good job that could make money and learn at the same time. But when he actually started copying books, he realized that what was most lacking in the bookstore were basic enlightenment books such as the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic.
Bookstores that were more advanced and suitable for scholars may not be able to sell a few copies in a whole year, so there was no need to hire people to copy them by hand.
Lin Pingchun now read these enlightenment books for young children day and night, but it could not achieve the effect of reviewing the past and learning the new.
“Mom, I’m very tired.”
Lin Pingchun couldn’t hide his haggard look, looked at his mother, and said pleadingly.
In the past, he didn’t feel anything when he was taught by Uncle Jiang. Now that the Jiang family had left him alone, Lin Pingchun realized what a good learning environment Jiang Baozong provided him.
The Jiang family had no shortage of books. Based on his own experience, Jiang Baozong would provide Lin Pingchun with the books he needed most at that stage, and the books were also marked with insights and annotations that were very important for readers.
Although Jiang Baozong stopped at the title of scholar, this did not mean that he only had the ability to test scholars. Coupled with his experience in teaching students for more than ten years, his notes in the book were very valuable.
In particular, Jiang Baozong never kept any secrets from him. Even if he found another teacher now, he would not be able to teach as devotedly as Jiang Baozong.
At the same time, he had to spend his own money to buy books, and those books that were suitable for him at this stage cost easily a dozen or twenty taels.
How could Lin Pingchun afford them?
Lin Pingchun really felt that studying was a waste of money.
“Okay, okay, it’s all my fault. I made you tired. Then, marry that fool. When you become an official in the future, ask that fool to help you entertain your colleagues’ family members.”
Widow Xu was heartbroken by her son. She slapped the table and pointed at Lin Pingchun’s nose and cursed.
“Mom, you know this is impossible.”
It’s not whether he wants to marry or not, but Uncle Jiang won’t marry his daughter to him.
“Mom, it’s getting dark. You should go back to the house and rest early.”
Lin Pingchun rubbed his sore forehead. He still had to finish copying the book at hand and send it to the bookstore manager.
“You should also take a rest early.”
Widow Xu didn’t want to quarrel with her son. Seeing her son’s haggard appearance now, she resented the Jiang family even more.
“Don’t worry, Mother will take care of the money matter.”
Widow Xu comforted her son. Without the Jiang family, he still had a cousin who could make money.
On the other side, Xu Baozhu also heard the news about the engagement between the Jiang family and the Diao family. She ignored her work on the puppets, packed up her small coffers, and ran to the Lin family.

Sometimes when I look at music videos with girls twerking or listen to WAP by Megan and cardi b, and compare them to heroines concocted by CN authors I feel that our generations twerking and WAP rap lyrics ain’t so bad. Like the shamelessness of these heroines sometimes put these lyrics to shame. Like ancient era girl show some respect, they always be fighting for a man, drugging and effing them like the worlds gonna end when they can’t get this man, like chill girls, they always want CEO, prince, Duke of North or emperor. Same for this little skank, like you run like you wanna clamp your lower lip so bad on that man’s family jewels!
