35. Copy books

When the two left the Zhou Mansion, the Zhou Mansion sealed two hundred taels of silver and some gifts, which were the money to buy the three dishes. In fact, these two hundred taels bought him three simple recipes, which was more than enough, but neither of them shirked. First, I don't feel ashamed, and second, wouldn't I lose the face of Steward Zhou. Mother Ju's behavior made both of them a little angry. However, thinking that he still had to rely on Dr. Li for treatment, Steward Zhou treated them with courtesy, so he happily wrote three recipes to Mother Ju.

"Let's go to the bookstore." Ah Hao didn't bother to look at the things sent by the Zhou Mansion, so he just pulled Geng Qiu away. This time, Mother Ju had an oppressive attitude, which made both of them a little unhappy. Although they have to rely on Dr. Li for treatment, but now even if they don't come to the Zhou Mansion, Dr. Li will still treat Ah Hao, mainly because Dr. Li himself is happy. Instead of completely looking at the face of the Zhou Mansion.

The two of them came to the Zhou Mansion only because Dr. Li was currently living in the Zhou Mansion. Dr. Li has already said just now that I can take them outside for treatment next time. Even if it was possible, he would like to go back to their house with Geng Qiu and Ahao for a while. In the Zhou Mansion, Dr. Li didn't have anything to do, just to check the pulse of the master of the instrument, and there was actually nothing wrong with the master's body, but he took this fetus too seriously, and the taste was not very good.

In fact, as far as Dr. Li is concerned, if this falls on the poor people's homes, where to pick up and pick up and not eat, then it will not smell, but because there are conditions, it is too hypocritical. He really saw this right. The master of the ceremony did it on purpose. He did this just to give himself and the child more benefits in front of Master Zhou, and he didn't have hope for Master Zhou early on.

He didn't have any children before, he just lived one day at a time. Now that I have children and hopes, of course I have to plan well. In the past ten years, he has no right-hand man around him, and he doesn't have much money, he is trapped in this courtyard every day, in fact, he doesn't feel good in his heart, he actually hates Master Zhou in his heart, if it weren't for Master Zhou, he wouldn't be like this.

But now that he has a child, he knows that Master Zhou values this child, but in fact, he values it even more, so he takes the opportunity to see Master Zhou's attitude. He can't compare to the family in the capital, he has nothing to rely on and hope for, so he will point to this child in the future. If nothing else, he at least has to get more property for the child back.

Dr. Li's days in Zhou's Mansion were extremely boring, and he had nothing to spend except drinking tea and chatting with Steward Zhou. He looks cold on the surface, but in fact, he likes to be lively, but he has a reputation and has to wear this kind of mask. He is actually a little tired of living in Zhou Mansion now. I was attracted by Geng Qiu's snacks and fresh vegetables, and I couldn't wait to see the freshness. Now I am waiting for the master of the instrument to give birth, and then I will pat my fart 5 shares and leave.

"Do you want to buy books?" Geng Qiu asked. In fact, he himself wanted to buy a few novels to take home and see, he had nothing to do this winter, so he had to find some entertainment.

Ah Hao didn't answer, just walked forward, in this small market town, there are only three or two bookstores, and they are not big. Ah Hao picked the largest one, Geng Qiu only looked at the east and the west, this was the first time he had seen a place that sold books in ancient times. He knew that ancient books were precious, and only a few scholarly families could have a certain collection. So I'm curious about what books this ancient bookstore can sell. Geng Qiu looked over row by row, and didn't look through it at first, and the little second in the store didn't follow him, but stared at him with good eyes, because he didn't look like he was here to buy books.

Ah Hao talked with the shopkeeper, and sure enough, the shopkeeper accepted the two enlightenment books he brought. Because his handwriting is very good, the paper and ink used in these two books are good, and the price given by the shopkeeper is not bad. It was a total of one or two halves of silver.

"Do you have any books to copy here?" Ah Hao took the opportunity to ask.

"Yes. But most of them were copied by me, and they weren't allowed to take the books home. If it breaks, what does it count? The shopkeeper said. Generally, the books to be copied are relatively precious, and there are few people who can afford them, and the copied ones here are all sent to the county and state governments to sell.

"Really? I'll see how valuable it is. Ah Hao smiled. Ah Hao is not only good-looking, but also has an extraordinary temperament, and he writes well, plus he also carries two mules. This shopkeeper is also a good person, and he immediately knew that Ah Hao's background was not low, and if he wanted to come to those good books here, this person should have read them, so he agreed.

As soon as he saw that it was a book of the Spring and Autumn Analects, Ah Hao smiled even more happily. He didn't say he had seen it, but of course he had learned it. Oh no, he's still able to write most of it silently. As soon as the shopkeeper saw him like this, he knew that he had guessed correctly. Immediately he went to fetch another book, and said, "This is a book sent here by a distinguished guest, and it costs two hundred dollars to copy a copy." You can take it back and copy it, but you have to press ten taels of silver, and you can't damage it. ”

Ah Hao saw that the shopkeeper said cautiously, and carefully took the book, it was actually a good book for arranging troops, but unfortunately it was not the whole book, there were only a few chapters, and it was not used to it. Such a book should not have appeared in such a small bookstore, and it is clear that this book is used by someone to make money in private.

The shopkeeper usually doesn't dare to take it out and copy it for ordinary students. Now I happened to meet the new face of Ah Hao. Of course, the shopkeeper will not just hand over the book to Ah Hao so casually, as soon as he knew that Ah Hao had dealings with the Zhou Mansion, his bookstore was originally related to the Zhou Mansion. Second, he also has a stub for this book. In other words, this book was originally copied by him, and it was not the original, even if Ah Hao damaged it, or even lost the book, he was not afraid. What's more, this book was taken back to Ah Hao to copy, and ten taels of silver were pressed here.

"Yes, copy such a book, and the shopkeeper should give me paper and ink." Ah Hao asked with ten taels of silver.

"Of course." The shopkeeper took the silver, took out a note to Ah Hao, Ah Hao signed, took the book and a pack of paper and a piece of ink, and agreed with the shopkeeper for ten days before sending it over.

Geng Qiu picked up a few books casually, but he only flipped through them roughly, and he didn't find the ones he was interested in, and they were too expensive, a book was only thirty or fifty pages, the cheap ones cost more than half a tael of silver, and the expensive ones even cost a few taels of silver, he really didn't dare to buy them.

"Have you picked it out?" Ah Hao asked.

"Nothing you like, what about you?" Geng Qiu said, and hurriedly put down the book in his hand.

"That's it, let's go back." Ah Hao said, putting the wrapped book paper into the basket.

Geng Qiu no longer cares about the silver that Ah Hao needs to see a doctor because of the silver given by the Zhou Mansion, let alone what books Ah Hao bought. When he looked at Ah Haomo's book, he knew that he was also a person who liked to read, and even read well. Geng Qiu himself doesn't like the books here very much, the ancient books are all arranged vertically, he is not used to reading them, and the characters are traditional and there are no punctuation marks, so he is dizzy to see. And in this small place, it is impossible to find good-looking novels, most of them are just some enlightenment books, and scriptures, and there are few books, and there is no novelty, which is nothing more than the story of a talented and beautiful woman, or some political books that promote and educate the people. These books were given to him for free, and Geng Qiu didn't want them.

"I'm going to grab the medicine." Geng Qiu said.

"yes, I almost forgot about it." Ah Hao smiled.

The two went to grab five more doses of medicine, which were more expensive this time, and cost twenty-five taels of silver. However, Ah Hao and Geng Qiu didn't care, anyway, they now have money on hand, and they have also found a way to make a living. What's more, Ah Hao's body is obviously much better, his face is ruddy, and he is full of energy. At a glance, you can see that Dr. Li's treatment has worked.
