The three members of the Xia family read and practiced calligraphy, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were consumed quickly, Shujie wanted to buy it, and Shuyao and Shuwen were also entangled to go together.

Shujie explained to Aunt Mei and took his two younger siblings to the street.

Xitang Street is not far from Bading Street, the main street of Yulin Town, and it only takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there.

Bading Street is also the most prosperous street in the whole of Yulin County, nearly twice as wide as other streets, and there are shops on both sides of the street. The best shops, restaurants, and inns in Yulin County are basically on this Bading Street, so there are many pedestrians on the street.

Among these pedestrians, there are many outsiders who are dusty, or at first glance, they are merchants who are accustomed to traveling goods from the south to the north.

Yulin County is located in the traffic fortress at the junction of the north and south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, extending in all directions, and it only takes six or seven days to travel from here to the capital by horse-drawn carriage. Yulin is not only a battleground for soldiers, but also a must for merchants from the north and south, and there is a large "barter center" in Yulin County, where merchants from all over the Great Zhou often barter.

Therefore, although Yulin County is a small county town, the degree of economic prosperity is not inferior to that of the Daimyofu City, and many fashionable things are often transmitted from Yulin County to the Daimyofu City.

Walking on the street, Shujie was one by one, holding his younger brothers and sisters tightly, repeatedly telling them to follow him closely and not to run around. There are many people on the street, and there are more outsiders, and there are often cases of children getting lost and being abducted, not to mention that his pair of baby siblings are born with pink makeup and are smart and cute.

When he arrived at "Moxiangzhai", Shujie quickly selected some suitable pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Because he bought a lot, and Shujie was also an old customer of "Moxiangzhai", the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and asked the guy to send it to the Xia family's yard in a while.

Shuwen just started to learn arithmetic, and Shujie customized a small abacus for him, saying that it would be done in five days and delivered to the door.

In the corner of the shop was a pile of scattered books, full of dust. Shu Yao glanced over, just a gust of wind blew, and one of the books was lifted by the wind for two pages, Shu Yao was immediately attracted to it, squatted in front of the pile of books and picked up the book.

When I opened it, it was indeed a copybook, and as Shu Yao expected, it was the "plum blossom small character" that emerged ten years later

"Plum blossom small characters" is a kind of flower-shaped font, it is said that hundreds of years ago in the deep mountain temple with a talented woman to lead the cultivation of the talented woman to create, to "look far as a flower, close to see as a word, there are words in the flower, the word is hidden in the flower, the flower word is integrated" as a characteristic, the text and plum blossom cleverly fused together.

This font is beautiful, but it is difficult to practice, difficult to write, and almost lost. In the previous life, Shu Yao remembered that it suddenly emerged ten years later, but there were very few calligraphy books that could be found, and it was said that there were no more than five copies in the entire Great Zhou, and most of them were incomplete, all in the hands of those clansmen.

At that time, Sima Yan, one of the two beauties of the capital, wrote a rather beautiful "plum blossom small character", Shu Yao and Xue Minglang and left, lived in Weiyuan Hou's Mansion for more than three months, and it happened that Weiyuan Hou's wife Aunt Lan held a "plum blossom banquet" in Hou's Mansion, at the banquet, the ladies showed their skills, Sima Yan wrote a couplet in plum blossom font on the spot, which amazed the audience.

However, Shu Yao happened to hear Sima Yan's sister-in-law, Mrs. An Guo Gong's son, tell Aunt Lan that only two-thirds of the plum blossom small characters in their An Guo Mansion's collection were in small characters, and the other third had been torn off, so there were some words that her sister-in-law still couldn't write well.

Now the "Plum Blossom Small Characters" copybook in Shu Yao's hand is a very complete original copybook, and it can be seen that it should have been well protected before, flat and neat, without twists and turns, but for some reason it is piled up here now, and it is still full of dust.

Shu Yao asked tentatively: "Uncle shopkeeper, are these books sold?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at it: "Those are the old books that our buddies just collected from the countryside, and they haven't had time to sort them out. Recently, we have been short of staff in our store, and we really can't take care of it. ”

Shu Yao was overjoyed, and quickly took another book that he had just turned over to teach embroidery, and shouted to Shu Jie: "Big brother, I want these two books, a total of seventy-five texts." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and said: "It turned out to be your sister Xia Gongzi, so let's do it, it's cheaper, just seventy yuan." ”

Shu Yao wiped the two books clean with a handkerchief and hugged them tightly, Shu Jie saw that his sister liked it so much, and he didn't care what kind of book it was, so he paid for it directly: "Then Xie Lu Xie is the shopkeeper." ”

It's also interesting, after Shu Yao bought those two books, many people in the store walked over to pick up the books as if they had just found the pile of books. You have two copies, I have three copies, all of them are forty thick texts, and thirty-five thin ones, and the shopkeeper is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, and he says straight in his heart that this little girl is really prosperous, and it would be good to come to their store more.

When they receive books, they usually have a maximum of about 20 wen per book. After it is recovered, someone must specially select and sort it out, and the relatively new ones with better content will be forty or fifty words, and the worse ones will be twenty or thirty words. Today is good, labor-saving and earning. In fact, how good it is to sell old books like this, I used to always think about whether I could find some unique books, masterpieces and the like to make a fortune, but I have never come across one for so many years. Think about it, those books are treasured as treasures, who will accidentally sell them?

The three of them walked out of the "Moxiangzhai", and when they came to a corner, Shu Yao stuffed the book into his arms and put it into the mahogany box.

Excited, Shu Yao's little hands were still a little trembling, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look, as if she was afraid that someone would follow and ask for the book back.

Shujie smiled and asked, "What?" Yao'er still has a book she wants to buy? ”

Shu Yao shook her head: "No, big brother, I still want to buy some needlework and thread, and I can learn embroidery from my sister-in-law." "Donnie Yen is not a female celebrity, so Shu Yao has not yet learned embroidery, in order to be able to justifiably play the embroidery skills she mastered in her previous life, now she must find a way to "learn".

"Okay, big brother will take you to buy", Shujie responded without hesitation, "Next time Uncle Zhang comes, the eldest brother asks him and Aunt Zhang to ask, find an embroidery girl to teach you, you can come for an hour every day." "For those with good conditions, girls all have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female celebrity, and cooking...... These are all the capital for talking about marriage in the future.

Shu Yao was very happy: "Big brother, can you find me an embroidery girl who can embroider on both sides?" My mother said that the double-sided embroidery in Jiangnan is beautiful. "Donnie Yen herself is not a female celebrity, but she has been talking about finding a teacher to teach Yao.

Shu Yao's embroidery skills in her previous life have reached the level of top embroiderers, and there are even two kinds of stunts--- colorful embroidery and "colorful" embroidery, but there is a kind of double-sided embroidery that originated in the south of the Yangtze River, she will not, she has always wanted to learn, I heard that there are many senior embroiderers in the Jiangnan area.

Shujie also remembered that Donnie Yen had mentioned Jiangnan Embroidery, so he smiled and said: "Okay, let's ask Aunt Zhang, and after the year, the eldest brother will find you a female gentleman or teach your mother to come back." ”

Before his death, my father always said that men should be raised extensively, daughters should be pampered, books and literature can go to school, and he can teach by himself. Yao'er is the only daughter in their family, and she needs to be carefully raised.

The three brothers, sisters and brothers walked to the "Yuncai Fang" while talking and laughing, "Yuncai Fang" is the largest and best embroidery workshop in Yulin County, not only selling all kinds of embroidery, but also embroidery utensils and embroidery threads and embroidery cloths with the most uniform texture and color.

When he was about to arrive at the "Cloud Fang", in the open space not far from the entrance of the "Fortune Lai" inn, there were many people around, and Shujie subconsciously clenched the little hands of his two younger siblings.

A few spectators came out of the crowd and laughed disdainfully:

"Well, isn't it just selling medicine? It's so high, why did you have to sell pills because you were stolen. ”

"That is, what kind of famous doctor, is he also a descendant of the Gao family in Nanyang? I've never seen medicine that can be made into pills like that, who would dare to take it? Still that expensive? ”

"Blow, cheat money, do you believe it?"

……

Shu Yao's footsteps paused, the descendants of the Gao family in Nanyang? Gao Mingde?
