The Little Lucky Girl

It is indeed not easy to make money from adults. Although they may not like their own names, it is almost impossible to ask them to spend money to change them.

"But the children might be willing." Ming Youyou felt that she didn't like being called a big girl, and other children certainly didn't like names like Gouzi and Erdan. "They will be willing to spend the money, as long as they can afford the price we offer."

"How much is that?" the three people asked curiously.

Ming Youyou scratched his head. "Two cents?"

"Only two cents? That's too little." Feng Xu was frustrated and slumped back in his chair. "What can you do with two cents?"

"What's wrong with two cents?" Ming Youyou looked down on him, "You don't even have a penny in your pocket."

Well, it’s true.

Zheng Huan interrupted the meaningless conversation between the two and asked, "Should we prepare something? Do you remember what the old scholar did?"

Ming Youyou thought about it, "He took a book and asked me to open a page at random. Then he stared at me, looking left and right. He then chose a sentence from that page and asked me if I liked it. I said I liked it, so he gave me this name."

"It sounds simple, but we don't have the book," Lu Tai said regretfully.

In fact, all three families had brought books with them, but they were annoyed and asked to take them back. Exile is hard enough, why do you have to torture yourself with such thoughts?

Ming Youyou waved her hand and said, "It's okay. We'll recite it for them. Recite a few more sentences and let them choose the one they like."

The poor student Zheng Huan and his two companions: ...feeling guilty and unable to memorize it.

Zheng Huan thinks that books are an important prop and a symbol of being a scholar, but they don’t even have this, so what if others don’t believe them?

Ming Youyou frowned and thought, "Then let's do more. Not only give them nice names, but also teach them how to write them and tell them where the names came from. This way they should be very satisfied."

Ming Youyou judged others by his own standards and felt that these were enough for a child to brag about.

After the discussion, several people went back to their rooms. Feng Xu suddenly stopped Zheng Huan and Lu Tai and whispered, "I thought 'Youyou' was a nickname. Do you think his parents were deceived and gave him a girl's name? Or maybe the scholar was too old and his eyes were blurry and he made a mistake..."

Zheng Huan and Lu Tai looked at him with sympathy.

Feng Xu felt uneasy when he was stared at. "What do you two mean..." He suddenly opened his eyes wide and stammered, "No, it's not what I thought. He, she, she..."

Zheng Huan and the other man nodded seriously, "It's just what you think."

Feng Xu got angry, "You two knew this a long time ago, right? You were waiting to see me make a fool of myself, right? I'm just like a fool. Ah, I'm going to fight you."

He summoned his Feng family gun from the void, gestured and rushed forward, and then was beaten up by Zheng Huan and Lu Tai.

During dinner, Ming Youyou noticed that Feng Xu was in a low mood, so she looked at the other two and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Zheng Huan said: "He found out that he couldn't teach you his family's shooting skills, and he felt sad."

Ming Youyou shrugged, "If he really wants to teach me, I can try to learn it."

Feng Xu ignored them and bit the steamed bun in his hand angrily, thinking, how can it be the same? Can he scold her and be mean to her? Can he use the same method his brother used to scold him on her? He thought he could turn things around, but in the end he was still the younger brother, and no one inherited his suffering.

The next day, they proudly crossed the small wooden bridge and took the first step on the road to making money towards the village.

Ming Youyou looked at the group of children playing under the tree and asked, "Which one should we find first?"

Zheng Huan thought about their past experience and replied, "To catch a thief, we must first catch his leader. Let's find their leader first."

So Ming Youyou took a step forward, raised his chin, put his hands on his hips and said, "Call your boss over to me."

Feng Xu: "Why does she feel like a little bully?"

Lu Tai: "Then we are the minions of the bully."

The three young men who once stirred up trouble in the capital sighed to the sky, never expecting that they would end up like this.

The children who were fighting on the opposite side quieted down for a moment, then dispersed, revealing a sturdy young boy.

The young boy stepped forward and asked, "Who of you is looking for me?"

Ming Youyou looked at him, as if wanting to see more clearly, so she walked forward a few steps, then a few more steps, and finally walked to the opposite camp.

Zheng Huan and the others saw her looking up, staring hard at the boy who was much taller than her. The children in the village also gathered around her, as if surrounding her.

Lu Tai was shocked. "What's going on? Aren't we here to do business? Why does it look like a fight is about to break out?"

Feng Xu was already excited and started to roll up his sleeves. "What are you waiting for? I'll go beat up that guy and you two go rescue him."

As they were ready to go, they saw Ming Youyou saying something to the young boy, then grabbing his arm and running over with his men.

Zheng Huan and his two companions were ready to fight:...

Ming Youyou stood on tiptoe and patted the boy's shoulder. "This is my second grandfather's grandson, Brother Daniu. I didn't expect that he would be the leader of the kids."

Daniu smiled innocently, "It's been almost a year since we last met. I almost didn't recognize you, big girl."

"I'm not called Big Girl anymore. I've chosen a nice name. Do you want to change it?"

Since they were acquaintances, Ming Youyou was more open-minded and introduced their one-stop service. "How is it? Is the two cents worth it?"

Daniel nodded vigorously, "It's worth it." Then he smiled apologetically, "But I don't have money."

Ming Youyou widened her eyes. Yes, they forgot an important issue: the child had no money!

Not to mention whether their family members gave them money or not, even if they did, they couldn't keep it. As soon as the peddler came, they would immediately exchange it for candy.

After finally coming up with an idea, they still couldn't make any money. Just when they were about to feel disappointed, they heard the big guy say, "How about exchanging eggs?"

Ming Youyou's eyes lit up. One egg costs one penny, two eggs will do. Then they can find someone to exchange them for money. If it's hard to exchange, they can just eat them.

So Ming Youyou cheered up, selected three sentences from the Analects, and asked Da Niu, "Which one do you like best?"

Daniel rubbed his head, a little undecided, "What do you think?"

Ming Youyou suggested, "Then let's use this sentence, 'It is good to live in a place where people are kind. If you don't live in a place where people are kind, how can you know it?' Didn't Second Grandfather hope that you would take over his position in the future? If you become the village chief in the future, and there are people in the village who don't learn well, you can use this sentence to scold them."

Daniel nodded after hearing this, "Okay, that's it."

"Then you will be called 'Guo Ren' from now on. I will teach you how to write these two characters."
