Chapter Seventy-Eight: Bluffing
Liu Qingxi walked around the bookstore at random, and when he came to this era, it was the first time he had seen so many books, but fortunately, the characters here were not much different from traditional characters, and most of them could be recognized. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Here are nothing more than some books such as the three-character classic and the thousand-character text, as well as some miscellaneous notes and the like: "What are the books that are more suitable for children's enlightenment?"
"Hello girl, we have a complete set of books here, you have everything you want, everyone generally uses the three-character scripture for enlightenment, you can take a look!"
The young man chattered and took a three-character scripture and handed it over!
I don't know what dynasty this is, I feel that many things are similar to Chinese history, but I haven't heard of it.
Judging from its architectural form, it is a relatively backward era, most of the buildings are adobe houses, and although there are bricks and tiles, there are very few.
Even in the shops in the town, there are not many green brick houses, one is that its production volume is small, and the other is that the price of green bricks is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.
Getting back to the point, I probably flipped over the three-character scripture, and the feeling of modern printing is different, this is all a hand-copied version, and the words are not bad.
The young man looked at Liu Qingxi pretending to be able to understand, and rolled his eyes disdainfully: "You can really pretend, can you understand?"
But it didn't show it on the face: "How is it, are you satisfied with this book?"
The paper is yellow, the texture is rough, and the font is good: "Dude, how much is this book?"
"Girl, the books in our store are all copied by scholars who have good handwriting, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed, this book is three hundred texts!"
......
"Girl, don't be too expensive, it's all at this price, and the entire Bixi Town is sold by our family, if you don't believe it, go and ask!" Seeing Liu Qingxi's shock, the young man hurriedly explained.
Well, Liu Qingxi knew that books in this era were very expensive, but he didn't know that they were so expensive, just such a thin three-character scripture would cost 300 words.
You must know that 300 yuan can save a little money, and a large family can spend it for several months.
It's no wonder that there are few readers in this era, and the expensive bundles are comparable to golden books, and ordinary people really can't afford it.
"Can you be cheaper, we have to buy something else!" Liu Qingxi's flesh hurt, his heart grinned, three hundred yuan, I don't know how long it will take.
"Girl, it can't be cheap, it's the lowest price!"
It seemed that the two siblings could not afford it, and his enthusiasm subsided, and he was ready to return to the back of the counter.
Liu Qingxi took a quick step and stopped him: "How can this be sold?"
She didn't take the best of the few, Liu Qingyan just started to enlighten, so it didn't need to be too good.
"This is fifteen pieces for ten cents, if you want more, it can be cheaper!"
The shop was deserted, and there were few other customers except for the few regular readers in the town.
In the end, Liu Qingxi spent 320 Wen to buy a few copies of the Sanzi Sutra, plus 30 large pieces of paper, as well as a brush and a small inkstone.
The skin of the mouth was almost worn out, and the young man only gave fifteen pieces of hemp paper.
Liu Qingyan followed Liu Qingxi excitedly all the way, his eyes were shining, these were all things bought for him, he stroked them carefully, and a cheerful smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, let's buy everything today, we can go home!"
"Good!" the little one squinted and smiled, especially like a cat that had stolen something.
At the same time, across the street, a woman in a brocade dress walked in a pretentious lotus step.
"Auntie, what are you going to do?" the little maid asked tremblingly.
Yesterday morning, I was punished by my wife, and I was reprimanded by my lord in the evening, and the woman who was obviously unhappy suddenly went out shopping today.
When I left the house, my wife instructed me to take good care of my aunt and not to go wrong, otherwise I would be severely punished. So they asked with trepidation.
The woman is none other than Wan Dehai's new seventeenth aunt, Liu Qingzhi.
She stumbled upon a familiar figure on the other side, and was bound to come over to take a look.
Liu Qingxi's sister and brother walked out of the bookstore door with a smile, bowing their heads and stroking their newly bought books.
Suddenly, a pair of red embroidered shoes appeared in front of him, and from the bottom up, there were well-made skirts, ruddy lips, slightly raised eyebrows, and familiar faces.
Liu Qingyan held Liu Qingxi's hand tightly, slightly nervous.
Touching his head comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, let's go!" That is, in an instant, Liu Qingxi decided to make a ninety-degree turn and go another way!
The anger in the chest of the neglected woman burned: "Liu Qingxi, you stop for me!"
Liu Qingxi rolled her eyes helplessly, such a brainless woman, it was a waste of time to take care of her.
Anyway, she and Liu Qingzhi are born with a disagreement, and they can't talk about it together, as for this so-called cousin's superiority, love is placed in front of whomever she wants, and it has nothing to do with her.
The forced laughter of the little maids next to her seemed to slap Liu Qingzhi hard, so that she was bound to regain face, and walked two steps quickly to stop in front of Liu Qingxi: "What, are you afraid of me?"
"Huh...... What do you have to fear from me?"
"I'm a person from the Wanjia family now, my lord loves me very much, if I'm unhappy, a word can make you unable to live!" Liu Qingzhi said with his head held high and his chin raised.
......
Please, big sister, don't think so highly of yourself, okay?
But Liu Qingzhi didn't know her inner thoughts at all, like a victorious rooster, showing off his might in front of Liu Qingxi.
Who knew that Liu Qingxi's next words made her unable to laugh anymore.
"What do you have to control me? Do you rely on that old man who is full of fat brains and older than your father? Don't you feel disgusting? I'm afraid you're the only one who is so upright and happy to be a concubine!
If I were you, I would have found a piece of tofu and killed myself, so I'm not ashamed!"
"You ......" Liu Qingzhi raised his palm high, and a gust of wind carried it, and it was about to fall on Liu Qingxi's face.
The hearts of the maids rose to their throats, for fear that Aunt Seventeen would cause something, and at the same time bowed to Liu Qingxi, who was stunned in place.
There were a few timid people who closed their eyes directly and didn't dare to look, as if there was a snapping sound in their ears.
At this moment, a slender arm blocked Liu Qingzhi's attack: "Is this all you have the ability to?"
That's right, it wasn't someone else's arm, it was Liu Qingxi's.
She is no longer the Liu Qingxi who is oppressed by others, but a modern independent soul who will no longer endure this inexplicable pain.
In fact, Liu Qingzhi is a paper tiger, she will bluff, in terms of strength, she is far inferior to Liu Qingxi, who often works and exercises, and in terms of brain knowledge, it is incomparable, she is a brainless person.
It's just relying on the big backer of Wanjia!
"Okay, I don't have time to deal with you, don't negotiate in front of me, just a woman like you, it's good to live for three days in the back house!"
"Liu Qingxi, what's so great about you, but you can repair a few dilapidated houses, who do you think you are?" Liu Qingzhi pretended to be calm.
Suddenly seeing the things in Liu Qingxi's hand, there was suddenly more topic.
