Chapter 20: The Best

Lu Yunjia quickly found the bookstore, unlike other stores, the bookstore was deserted, and there were only books full of books as far as the eye could see. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Behind the counter of the bookstore sat an old man with gray hair, who was hunched at the table, not knowing what to look at with relish, and not even noticing that she had come in.

Lu Yunjia didn't bother him, and turned around the shop by himself, the bookstore was not big, there were only two rooms in front and back, but there were a lot of books, and there was only a gap between the bookshelves in the rows and rows where one person walked.

Lu Yunjia turned around slowly, thinking about what books to give.

Game? I'm afraid that ordinary chess games can't be like Yi Shui's eyes.

Medical books are a good choice, but whoever wants a good medical case book will be left out in the bookstore, I am afraid that they will hold it in their hands and leave it to their own disciples.

Lu Yunjia is in trouble, and she doesn't have time to look for it carefully... After a hurried turn around the shop, she simply went straight to the counter, "Mr. Shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper was concentrating on reading the book in his hand, and when he heard someone call him, he was startled, and when he got up to see the little girl under the counter, he grinned and asked, "Child, what is the matter with you?" ”

Lu Yunjia stood on tiptoe, put his hand on the counter and said, "Sir, I want to buy a book for my brother in the family, do you have books about chess games and medical cases here?" ”

The shopkeeper closed the book in his hand, thought about it carefully, and said: "I remember that there are two miscellaneous medical cases, which were left by a pair of masters and apprentices who passed by a few years ago. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked out of the counter, Lu Yunjia's eyes lit up, and he followed him to help find it.

In the bookstore, there are some regular customers who come to buy books all year round, and most of them are four books and five classics and the like, so the two miscellaneous medical cases are not difficult to find, and the shopkeeper quickly found them from the bookshelf.

Lu Yunjia looked down, but at a glance she saw a wooden pen holder on the top floor of the bookcase, and she hurriedly said, "Mr. Shopkeeper, can you take down the pen holder on it?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he glanced up and said with a smile: "The little girl is really sharp-eyed, this old man has been putting this tube on for some years, and even I have forgotten where it is." … Come, here you go"

Lu Yunjia took it and blew the dust on it, only then did he see its appearance clearly.

The material of the pen holder is the best ebony, and the relief mountains outside are also exquisite, not to mention that in a place like Toyoji Prefecture, even in Kyoto, it can be called the best quality! Lu Yunjia was overjoyed, "Mr. Shopkeeper, is this pen holder sold?" ”

Seeing this, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "It's useless for me to keep the pen holder, if you like it, you can sell it, but the appearance of this cylinder is good, let alone a tael of silver before I can sell it, little girl, do you bring enough silver?" ”

Lu Yunjia lowered her eyes, and her fingers pinched the purse in the sleeve cage, which was the red envelope given to her by Dr. Qiu during the Chinese New Year, which happened to be a silver nude of one or two, and there were dozens of copper plates on her body, which Yi Shui gave her to buy sugar gourds to eat.

The money on her body to buy a pen holder is enough, but... She always has to leave a way back for herself, although she secretly guided Dr. Qiu to write a letter to Ziyu's cousin, but she also knows that a letter sent to Xie's mansion without knowing how much may be sent to Ziyu's cousin?

Even if the second uncle's house is not as guarded as the Rongguo Mansion, not anyone's letters can be delivered to the master. This is also the reason why Dr. Qiu asked her second uncle's name that day, and she knew it clearly, but she didn't know it.

Because it was useless to say it, because she knew that the letter could not be delivered to her second uncle.

She left some money because she thought that if the letter to Ziyu's cousin didn't reach him, she would have a chance to do something else.

Or send a few more letters, or she went to Jinan County Government to find her second uncle directly.

All this can only be done with silver.

And she couldn't be sure that Dr. Qiu helped her once, and would help her a second time, a third time...

Seeing her gloomy expression, the bookkeeper comforted: "It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money, don't you want to buy books for your brother in the family?" These two books only cost 30 yuan, and as for the pen holder, I have a few ordinary ones here, and I can buy one for only a dozen yuan. ”

Lu Yunjia's hands clenched tighter, ordinary? She doesn't want to be ordinary, Yi Shui's care and maintenance of her these days is not inferior to her own brother at all, will she buy ordinary ones when she buys gifts for her brother?

The obvious answer is that she won't.

After figuring it out, Lu Yunjia was no longer entangled in his heart, let's talk about it later, the most important thing now is to pick a good birthday gift for Brother Yi Shui. She put the pen holder on the counter and said, "Mr. Shopkeeper, I want this." However, can you give me these two books? ”

Lu Yunjia took out the silver nude in her purse and handed it to the bookstore shopkeeper, "This is all my belongings, and I don't have money to buy any more books." ”

The shopkeeper was surprised, picked up the silver nude and carefully checked it, and then laughed and said, "Okay, for the sake of the little girl, you are so persistent, I don't want the money for the book." But I have a question for you, why don't you choose a more ordinary pen holder, no matter what, it's your heart, and your brother shouldn't care? ”

Lu Yunjia asked the shopkeeper for a damp cloth to wipe the pen holder, her expression was focused, and she said, "Brother, he deserves the best." ”

The footsteps of the person behind him paused suddenly, and the shopkeeper raised his eyes and asked him with a smile, "Little boy, what books do you want to buy?" ”

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Lu Yunjia moved to the side with the pen holder on her feet, making way for the person behind her, and her little hands continued to wipe the pen holder diligently, and there was really a lot of dust on it.

But the man approached her, and in a warm voice, he said, "I'm here to find someone." ”

Lu Yunjia's whole person froze suddenly, she slowly turned her head, winked at the visitor and smiled, "... Easy water... Brother. ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked between the two and said with a smile: "Little boy, the relationship between your brother and sister is really good!" ”

Yi Shui smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Shopkeeper misunderstood, she is not my sister." ”

Lu Yunjia lowered his head silently, and said in his heart: It's over, Brother Yi Shui must be angry again! In other words, a person who can speak can save money, where will he explain so much to others!

The shopkeeper suddenly looked clear, neatly wrapped the books and pen holders, and watched Yi Shui lead Lu Yunjia away with a smile.

Out of the bookstore, Lu Yunjia rolled her eyes and secretly thought about how to explain. After a while, her eyes were closed, her heart was horizontal, she grabbed the corner of Yi Shui's clothes, and preemptively said: "Brother Yi Shui, you said that you won't be angry with me anymore!" ”

Yi Shui turned to look at her with a faint expression, "When?" ”

Lu Yunjia glared and said, "Just half an hour ago!" ”

Yi Shui said: "I only remember that I said that I would not ignore you." ”

Lu Yunjia was stunned, as if she didn't say that she wouldn't be angry with her... She pursed her lips, wondering if she should apologize first. But at this moment, Yi Shui continued: "Besides, how could I have said that I was angry? ”
