When she met his eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and the sound of 'Ah Qing' was still echoing in her head. "Zisang, you're here." She said, her tone as calm as ripples in the water of a lake, and the circles were calm and soothing.

There were no more words, the three of them drank tea, the tea is the best tea, in fact, this tea was added by Yuan Qing yesterday in the name of selling medicine, she knows medicinal materials, and naturally knows what can be used to make tea in the pharmacy. And this tea is good for your health.

The fragrance of tea can also be said to be the lingering fragrance of medicine, and the light fragrance wafts all over the room.

"Ah Qing, Xiaobao came here today to resign, I have some urgent matters to deal with, and I will leave today." Mo Zisang said, he needs to treat a person's illness, that person is in danger, he can't delay too much.

"Brother, will you come back to see us?" Yuan Bao asked him, Mo Zisang didn't say goodbye that day, he never went back to the thatched hut, they finally met in Qiuzhou, he was going to leave again, Yuan Bao was very reluctant.

"Yes, my brother will come back." Mo Zisang is also very fond of Xiaobao. This little boy's eyes are big and clear, his face is delicate and innocent, he is loved when he walks there, he looks at Yuan Qing again, his face is gentle, "Ah Qing, I will definitely come back." ”

Yuan Qing was inexplicably stunned, how could this sentence be so familiar, well, this is the common language of the gray wolf. She nodded, staring at his face stunned, "Oh." "Silence.

Her delicate face with this cute expression was very cute in Mo Zisang's eyes, and he couldn't help but chuckle out loud, and he really wanted to pinch her face for a moment.

Seeing his handsome and smiling expression, Yuan Qing quickly returned to normal, looked at him fixedly, and said, "I'll send you out." ”

"Okay!" Mo Zisang did not shirk.

"I'll send you too, brother." Xiaobao on the side said busily.

The three of them walked outside the gate at the same time, and the two stopped and waved the man away.

Mo Zisang came to a fork in the road and was stopped by a person, "Senior brother is smiling so happily, but what funny thing happened?" "A young man dressed as a Taoist priest, also with a long sword at his waist, and his face was full of heroism.

"You know how to play all day, let's go." Mo Zisang waved his hand. They are brothers and sisters in the same sect, Mo Zisang's master is a Taoist priest, so he also worships under this sect, although his master is dead, he is still a member of this sect.

"Recently, the head of the family has made an old mistake again, and you also know that the head of the family is sick is a secret that cannot be disclosed to outsiders, senior brother, you are the most skilled in Chinese medicine in my school, and the head of the family is sick all up to you." The man spoke. Mo Zisang's master is a Taoist priest, but he specializes in medical skills all day long, and his medical skills are excellent, and the disciples he teaches are naturally among the best in the world.

"Alright." Mo Zisang didn't want to say too many compliments, and the two rode on their horses and galloped into the distance. After a day's rest, Yuan Qing slowly understood the boundaries and local customs here, this place is Qiuzhou, extremely prosperous, and the folk customs are relatively open. Nothing is absolute, after all, everyone is not willing to be just a supporting role all their lives. So the battle arises spontaneously, in other words: where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

This person is a person, whether you are a man, a woman, an old man, a young man, a child, anyway, people who are rich, powerful and powerful are uncles, and nothing is absolutely constant.

A notice was posted in the city of Qiuzhou, which read: The palace recruits new people, regardless of gender, age, as long as they are healthy and free of infection, the most important thing is that he must be interesting. If you are selected, you will receive a silver reward of one hundred taels.

"Wow, the palace has recruited new people, and the conditions are so relaxed, I really want to try my luck." A man said.

"Yes, since the last time the palace recruited people, I haven't heard about the palace still recruiting people, this time, the conditions for recruiting people are actually interesting?" Another said.

"You don't know, the concubine is too bored these days, and I want to find a few interesting people to accompany her to relieve her boredom."

"Oh, and that? Could it be that you don't need to do anything when you enter the palace, and you can get a hundred taels of silver just by accompanying the concubine to relieve her boredom? "A person's eyes are shining, if that's the case, the money will come too quickly and easily.

"Do you think this hundred taels of silver is so easy to take? If you don't serve the concubine well, let alone take the money, I'm afraid it's your life. Then he wiped his hand to his neck.

"Huh...... Is that as scary as you say? The concubine is known for her good temper, so you're like this, right? "One is contemptible.

"I can't say, the woman who died her husband is a concubine, who dares to provoke?" The man said in a low voice.

Yuan Qing pulled Yuan Bao, and the two sisters and brothers came to the front of the notice plaster of the gathered people, even if they didn't look at the notice, they knew the content of the notice clearly from the mouths of these people.

People in this era are really, they spend money to find someone to play with them, they really have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it^ Yuan Qing complained in his heart, he was too lazy to think about it, and pulled Xiaobao to a sparsely populated area.

They came to a bookstore, which was not very large, and only a middle-aged man was running it.

"What do you two want?" The boss looked at the slim girl and the good-looking boy beside her, and asked with a smile.

"Let's take a look." Yuan Qingdao.

"Okay, you two can watch it casually."

Yuan Qing took a book and opened it, the words on it seemed to be handwritten, and then opened the next one, the words were still handwritten, and the third book was still handwritten, and the fourth and fifth books were all handwritten, each with different handwriting, some vigorous and powerful, some graceful and moving, and some like flowing water.

"Boss, are these books all handwritten?" Yuan Qing asked.

"Of course, these words are copied by a special person, the handwriting is clear, and there will be no ambiguity when decided, so you can buy it with confidence." The boss said.

"Well, doesn't the boss have the words printed on it? The kind that doesn't need to be copied. Yuan Qing said again.

"This is there, but the price is too expensive, and I don't have any stock here." The boss expressed regret and said: "Girl, don't you know, those printed books need a lot of effort, and this time is long, if a word is wrong, then the words on that page are engraved in vain, and you need to start again, isn't it thankless?" So now there are no printed books, all handwritten, which is better than carving words on the stone wall. ”

"Oh, I see." Yuan Qing put on an expression of curiosity that the baby knew the result. In this era, there was no movable type printing, and they printed books with whole pages and pages, and then printed them on the book after engraving.

"Which book does the girl read?"

"Boss, are there any books here that are read by children, like a child of my brother's age." Yuan Qingdao.

"This little boy." The boss looked at Xiaobao, "It should be ten years old, right?" ”

"Well, uncle, Xiaobao is ten years old this year." Xiaobao has wide eyes and looks very cute.

"Then look at this 'Three Character Classic'." The boss took out a three-character scripture.

The three-character scripture, it turns out that there is also it in this era! Yuan Qingxin said, the Three Character Sutra is a must-read for children, this was the case in ancient times, but in modern times, it seems that it can insist on reading it to the end, and there are not even a few adults, can children read it?

Roughly flipped through the three-character scripture and felt that it was okay, "How much is the boss?" ”

"It's not much, forty cents." The boss is buying books, and he naturally thinks that the price of this book is not expensive, forty yuan in this era is equivalent to forty yuan in modern times, and forty yuan for a book is expensive in modern times, but it is unspeakably expensive in ancient times.

Otherwise, why were so many people in ancient times worried about the lack of books?

Yuan Qing was frightened and hurriedly said, "Boss, isn't this book too expensive?" ”

"Well, how is this expensive? Other houses sell it for forty-five dollars. The boss didn't think so, this book is generally bought back by the rich, and the poor don't even think about it if they don't have money.

"Is this paper expensive?" Yuan Qingdao.

"A piece of paper is not very expensive for a penny, but if you only make it into a book, the price will definitely increase." The boss said, "Do you two still buy it?" "Don't buy it, don't get in the way of my business.

Yuan Qing also knew that he was going to issue an eviction order, so he pulled Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, do you still want this book?" ”

"No, sister, let's go." After that, they left. The boss is not surprised, hum, there is no money to buy books.

Yuan Qing didn't expect that ancient books would be so expensive, no wonder people who could read were admired. However, there is also a bad phenomenon in this way, people do not improve. Without the exchange of ideas, where can progress come from? As the only communication tool that can transcend the limitations of time and space in ancient times, books are also only books, and this book is so expensive to buy, what is this not a limit? Walking out of the bookstore, the sister and brother came to a merchant specializing in pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xiao Er was very enthusiastic, beckoning them to look at it casually, Yuan Qing asked, "This little brother, how is the paper here sold?" ”

"A knife of paper costs ten cents, a knife of paper has a total of twelve, and the girl needs a few dollars."

How does this feel like swearing? Yuan Qing sighed in his heart, and then said, "I want five knives, can it be cheaper?" ”

"Yes, five dollars is fifty yuan, and if it is cheaper, it is forty-five yuan." Little Erdao.

"Buy two more pens and a bottle of ink." Yuan Qingdao.

"Okay, it's sixty-two cents in total, six cents for a pen, and five cents for a bottle of ink, if it's cheaper, it's sixty cents." Little Erdao.

"Okay." Yuan Qingdao said, give him the money, pick up the things he bought and walk out the door.

"Sister, what are we buying so much paper for?" I bought a total of five dollars for this paper, and I don't usually buy so much.

"My sister is useful." Yuan Qing sells Guan Zidao.

"What's the use." Yuan Bao didn't give up, but when he saw that his sister stopped talking, he didn't ask anymore
