Looking at the fruit bowl that had been missing nearly one-third, Zhao Jinyuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to let it go.

Carefully opened the window, turned over and went out and closed it carefully, Zhao Jinyuan saw that there was no one around, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered the pearl on the hairband, the sixth lady was weak and weak, and he didn't plan to throw it away, so it was easy for him to find it.

Putting the beads into his purse, Zhao Jinyuan quietly left.

…………

It was already noon at this time, and in the bookstore, except for Liuniang and a bean Ding with a big and a small two maids, there were only one or two poor scholars reading books by the bookshelf, which seemed extremely quiet.

Liuniang tiptoed to take a layer of "History of the Tang Dynasty", Zhuqing was illiterate, Liuniang was suspicious of pointing to trouble and simply did it herself, alas, this bitter height!

"What is the little lady looking for?"

Liuniang turned around, and an uncle who was over fifty years old and had a long beard looked at him with a smile, his eyes were kind.

Liu Niang recognized him, he was the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and I heard that he was also a scholar.

Pointing to the bookshelf, Liu Niang said, "Hello uncle, I want to find "History of the Tang Dynasty". He added, "For my brother." ”

The little girl was cute and polite, and the shopkeeper Fan became more and more loving, and asked casually, "Where is your brother studying?"

"Ten thousand private schools in Yongchunfang. ”

Huh? Fan shopkeeper is about to take the hand of the book, Wanjia private school is still famous in Kyoto, this private school only accepts children who have not yet shown their talents, look at this little girl's appearance, my brother is probably not very old.

Shopkeeper Fan smacked it, and moved his hand to another book: "It's "Tang Poems", I'm afraid the little lady heard it wrong." ”

Liuniang's black line: "It's "History of the Tang Dynasty", not "Tang Poems", I won't hear it wrong." ”

Shopkeeper Fan shook his head, bent down and handed the "Tang Poetry Collection" to Liuniang: "I must have heard it wrong, your brother hasn't learned the "History of the Tang Dynasty" yet!"

Liuniang was in a hurry, regretting that she died under the banner of her brother, and she knew that she would have said that her father wanted it!

"I really heard you right! It's "History of the Tang Dynasty"! "Please, let me go!"

Shopkeeper Fan looked at the little girl with watery eyes, and he looked like if you didn't give it to me, I would cry to you.

There is also a little granddaughter at home, how can the shopkeeper of Fan stand this, but he felt that the little girl had heard it wrong, thought about it, and said: "In this way, you take the book back to your brother to see, if it is not right, you take it back again, and I will change it for you." ”

Hey?

Liu Niang quickly calculated in her heart, can you read two books with such a penny?

Blinking her big eyes, Liuniang entered the cute mode, and said in a milky voice: "Thank you, uncle, I can't go out often, if the book is not right, can I come back a few days later?"

The little girl held the book in one hand, and the other fleshy little hand gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, looked up at the little face, her big eyes were still watery, and the soft plea knocked down the shopkeeper Fan almost instantly, bent down to pick up the little girl, and happily agreed: "I see that you girl still want to sneak out to play! Okay, a few days later, a few days later." ”

He looked at Zhuqing who followed him meaningfully, thinking that he had guessed the mind of the little pot friend.

……

There must be a little girl in this uncle's family who likes to run out to play!

Looking at the room full of books, Liu Niang's eyes rolled: "Uncle, is there any history book of our Daning?"

"Of course there is," Shopkeeper Fan put her down and took out a few books to show her: "These are these, but I can't give them to you, you have to wait for your brother to go back and delay his studies." ”

The first one is "The Legend of Daning Heroes", not to mention the others, Liuniang was speechless and tried to struggle: "It's what my father wants, not for my brother, it's the official history, it's not like this." ”

The shopkeeper Fan didn't believe it: "Your father is a lifter, will there be "History of Ning" at home?" That is a must-have for everyone who reads, from the beginning of the examination Xiucai, he will definitely be tested to the content of Ning History, to be honest, which student has not secretly rejoiced that Daning is only the third generation at this time, and "History of Ning" is only compiled to Emperor Taizong......

Liu Niang looked at his demeanor, is this "History of Ning" still a compulsory course for the imperial examination?

Strange novels and biographies of all kinds of obscenity are rampant, but serious history books are rarely mentioned, just like who was willing to discuss serious textbooks after school back then—except for the top students.

The shopkeeper Fan made a stroke, and there was Zhuqing staring at him next to him, and Liuniang could hardly make it up. Shopkeeper Fan saw that she didn't speak, smiled and touched her head: "This is an adult's book, you children don't understand, go back and let your father pick it up yourself." ”

Liuniang had to skip the matter first: "Thank you, uncle, I invite my uncle to my house for tea." ”

Liuniang pointed to her own tea shop: "That's my tea shop, it's very close." ”

"Yo, are you a girl from the An family?" Shopkeeper Fan was surprised and said with a smile: "I'm a frequent visitor to your house, and your father is so knowledgeable!"

Although An Zhenwei is not familiar with popular affairs, he often comes to the store with friends to drink tea, and the shopkeeper Fan is a regular customer, and he is also a scholar, so there is always a little friendship - the more I don't believe that An Zhenwei let his daughter buy "Ning History".

Liuniang grinned, but the shopkeeper Fan praised both the father and daughter, she couldn't help but be unhappy, and was about to make persistent efforts, the shopkeeper Fan waved his hand and said: "How can you let a little girl have a treat." It's not too early, so let's go back to dinner after buying books. ”

So no matter how good the chat is, it's time to check out.

"You and I are just two or two. ”

Liuniang estimated the price in her heart, tsk, books are really semi-luxury in this era, but I don't know if the predecessors of the crossing have printed movable type to Su out.

Thinking about the twelve taels of silver she brought out, Liu Niang was unwilling: "How much does "History of the Tang Dynasty" cost?"

"That set of three volumes costs seven taels or eight pieces of silver. ”

Liu Niang couldn't help but cover her purse, she had never realized so deeply that knowledge is wealth - since ancient times, students have been a profession that burns money.

But look at it again, the volume of "History of the Tang Dynasty" is nearly twice as thick as the "Anthology of Tang Poetry" in my hand......

Alas, it seems that An Jinbao can't get rid of a mundane thing in his past life and this life.

Although I brought twelve taels of silver with me when I went out, but just in case, I didn't plan to spend it really anymore! Liu Niang's heart was dripping blood, and her liver hurt for a long time, so she gritted her teeth and said: "Uncle, you can bring me that set too, I'm afraid that my brother will use it urgently." ”

At this time, watching "Tang Poetry Anthology" again is like buying one and getting one free, and I can't even raise the heart to take advantage of it and watch it in vain.

Shopkeeper Fan is a kind person, and he has the face of his neighbors, so he thought that it would be a big deal to return again, so he simply agreed.

After wrapping up the book, he specially instructed: "If it is not right, send it back, and I will return the money to you—but this book will be learned sooner or later, and it is not a waste to buy it." ”

What a man!

An Jinbao asked Zhuqing to take the money, and he reluctantly took out four taels of silver from his purse, and handed it to the shopkeeper Fan with tears in his eyes.

Most illiterate people have a natural awe of books, and Zhuqing is like this, even if Liuniang spent such a large amount of money, because she bought such a thick stack of books, she didn't dare to say more than half a word.
