Ji Anning and Ji Jieyue sat in a corner of the bookstore, and the two looked at the imitation book in their hands with a cautious expression. The antique charm comes to the face, the simple patterns, and the words unique to the past era are spoken in silent language. Ji Anning could feel the strong breath of life inside, and her fingers stroked the lace.

Ji Anning had a deep emotion in his eyes, the old times, the women in the old days, and the life stories scattered in the dust of the years in the old days. All she knew was that the transmission of these patterns was an illustration of the life of love, and that they had at least left evidence that they had been there. Ji Anning had been thinking about it before, and her life would have a quiet feeling of coming and going.

And now she feels that even if she can't leave anything, she can't live a life in vain, she doesn't want to do anything earth-shattering, at least she wants to do what she can do. Ji Anning raised his eyes to look at the young clerk who was guarding not far away, and asked, "I want this copy, how much silver do I need?" ”

The young clerk stretched out a finger and said, "Miss, ask for ten taels of silver." Ji Anning reached out and touched the paper, she touched the silver that had been stored on her body for many months, she nodded lightly, and then she happily took out the silver, and when the young clerk didn't react, handed it to him and said, "Give the silver, wrap this book for me." ”

Ji Jieyue hadn't reacted yet, and seeing that Ji Anning had already made a deal, she hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Aunt Ning, do you want to read a few more decisions?" Ji Anning shook his head lightly and said, "I don't look at it, the more I watch, the more I think about it." I'll look at this one first, and when I've seen through this one, I'll look at the other ones. ”

Ji Jieyue reached out and touched the page of the book she was reading, and after she closed the book, she also said happily: "I don't read other books, I want this one in my hand." After I read through this one, the two of us will read it and then look at the other books together. The young clerk smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he smiled and said, "The two young ladies have good eyes, and there are only five copies of this kind left." ”

Ji Anning and Ji Jieyue quietly watched the clerk put away the picture book on the table. Wait for him to pack the books they want. Neither of them was interested in reading books again, just waiting for Ji Lili and his party to choose good books. Ji Jieyue whispered to Ji Anning with some uneasiness in her heart: "Aunt Ning, will we buy it more expensive?" ”

Ji Anning shook his head lightly and said, "Such a big store would not deceive customers like us. Ji Anning was a little curious about the original pattern. But she also knew that she couldn't read it, such a magical book, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to put it down after reading it. The young clerk quickly handed them the wrapped books, followed by a small bag of things.

The young clerk smiled and said, "This is a new leaf from our bookstore, and we will try it on for the two young ladies." It's a good use, and I ask the two young ladies to talk about it. Ji Anning accepted the gift with a calm expression, and she smiled and said, "Thank you." After I use it, I will definitely tell people how I feel after using it when I have the opportunity. ”

Ji Jieyue took it as she could, and she said with a smile: "If it's not good, we won't talk about it." The young clerk said to her with a confident face: "Miss, the things in our store will definitely not be useless." Ji Anning raised his eyes and looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone placed at the counter, and it looked good, but he felt that the owner of this bookstore was too good at doing business.

Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing came out with books in their hands. After they handed over the books in their hands to the counter to check out, while waiting for the packaging, they blinked to Ji Anning and Ji Jieyue sitting in the corner, the two of them walked over with a smile and asked in a low voice, "What books did you buy?" Ji Jieyue pointed to the book on the table, and she replied loudly: "One of us bought a picture book." ”

Ji Jieqing looked at her, lowered her voice and said, "Yue'er, you just bought the picture book, and you also used your own pocket money, and we won't say anything about you." You don't need to disturb the silence of the booksellers in the bookstore with such a loud noise. Ji Jieyue looked up at her with some embarrassment, and said, "We bought the picture book without consulting you, I was worried that you would be angry." ”

After Ji Anyu heard what she said, she quickly looked at Ji Anning and said, "Ning'er." It's good to buy books, we don't get angry. Ji Anning laughed lightly and said, "We bought a copy and spent ten taels of silver for a copy." Yue'er was worried that you would be unhappy after knowing that we had used so much silver, so we didn't discuss it with you before deciding. ”

Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing stared at the two unconscious people in front of them with wide eyes. And Ji Jieyue also looked at Ji Anning a little unhappily, and muttered in a low voice: "Aunt Ning, let's go home and talk about it, we don't need to talk outside." Ji Anning didn't think he could hide the two people in front of him, and it was better to say it early than late, and the clerk would help talk on the side.

Ji Anning beckoned to the young clerk, and after he came over, he said to him, "The people in our family are worried that we are spending money indiscriminately, can you help explain." The young clerk looked at Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing's expressions, he had encountered such a situation many times in the bookstore, and he knew how to deal with this kind of thing.

He smiled and explained the preciousness of the picture book to Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing very carefully, and finally explained to them very carefully: "The two little ladies are not very old, but their vision is quite good. It's the imitation they fancied, and now we only have five copies in stock. And the copycat painter took on such a job twenty years ago when it was difficult to make a living.

Nowadays, it is difficult to find such a master to imitate the book, and the price code set by our bookstore is too plain, and after half a year or a year, I am afraid that the price of the imitation will rise. His words obviously attracted Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing, and the two of them asked him to take the same batch of imitations that Ji Anning and Ji Jieqing had never bought.

Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing really bought the copy they were looking through, the two sighed and looked at each other, they turned their heads and whispered to Ji Anning and Ji Jieqing, "It's worth it." Ji Anning laughed softly, the collectible paintings and calligraphy in the Taiping era were worth a thousand gold, and such valuable imitations were also very valuable after being stored for a long time.

Ji Li and his party finally came out of it, each with a book in their hands. Ji Shujiao and Ji Hexuan also deliberately brought the books in their hands to Ji Anning and Ji Jieyue to see, Ji Li looked at the bag in front of Ji Anning, he thought that she had selected a book like miscellaneous books, he came over and whispered, "Ning'er, have you already paid?" Do you only buy one copy? Do you want to pick a few more? ”

Ji Anning smiled at him and nodded, knowing that he had misunderstood, she smiled and said, "I have already paid, this one is enough." Since Ji Anning spent ten silver, she has been a little unhappy in her heart, although she knows in her heart that the imitation is worth this price, but she has no heart to spend more money to buy miscellaneous books in this bookstore.

After the group came out of the bookstore, the hearts of the four women were filled with joy and the feeling of restraint without silver on their bodies. Ji Anning quietly pulled Ji Li and said to him: "Brother, I have bought all the books with all my money." Ji Li nodded lightly and said, "Brother has silver on him, if you fancy something in a while, my brother will help you buy it." (To be continued.) )
