19. History two hundred years ago

Yu Qiu took Qingxue and rushed into a bookstore.

There are many young men and women in the bookstore, most of whom are candidates, and when they see Yu Qiu and Qingxue, their brows furrowed, and they instinctively stay away.

Qingxue has long been accustomed to this kind of contemptuous look, and she has been digging treasures in the garbage dump for many years, how can she care about other people's eyes.

Yu Qiu didn't feel anything, he had been in the Thunder Cloud Sect for three years, and he was always treated as a waste, and he was used to looking at him with contempt.

Yu Qiu shuttled through the bookstore with Qingxue, which is worthy of being a bookstore in the royal city, with five floors high, and each floor has a huge collection of books.

There weren't many people in the direction Yu Qiu was going, and almost all of them were crowded into the cultivation books.

Yu Qiu came to history books.

Yu Qiu took out an ink-colored box from the pile of books, with the title "Miscellaneous Ancient History".

The better books in bookstores, in order to avoid being read in vain, are generally packed in boxes, and you can only read the content introduction on the box.

After all, many cultivators here have very good heads, and if they memorize the content once they flip through it, the books in the bookstore will not sell well.

The content synopsis reads: Introduce the history of the previous generation.

A simple line of words is difficult to arouse the desire of ordinary people to read, and it is no wonder that no one has been interested in the stacks of books.

"That's it, but why isn't there a price tag for this book?" Yu Qiu wondered in his heart, could it be that the label had been dropped?

"You can't afford this book, put it back. ”

An old man with a long beard said.

As he sorted out the bookshelves, he didn't seem to know if it was the shopkeeper or the clerk.

Yu Qiu took out the gold coin from his arms: "Old man, I have money, how much is this book." ”

Yesterday, the pharmacy found him 97 gold coins, and Yu Qiu can be said to have a small asset.

The old man was slightly surprised when he saw Yu Qiu taking out the money, he glanced at Yu Qiu and whispered, "Who wants to know what happened yesterday." ”

This sentence seemed to be like Yu Qiu said, and it seemed to mumble to himself.

Yu Qiu thought to himself: "Could it be that this is an incision, and this book is weird?"

It's a pity that Yu Qiu's chance of being able to make an incision is zero, and he has no clue at all, and the reversal is useless.

"Sir, make a price, and I'll buy it. Yu Qiu was helpless, so she had to ask the price directly.

"If you don't sell it, you can't afford it. The old gentleman shook his head.

"I still have two short knives here, you can see if you can add enough. ”

Yu Qiu took out two short knives, ordinary books, unless the secret books of the exercises, the techniques that are not passed on, rarely more than one gold, Yu Qiu's gold coins plus two short knives, how can it be worth hundreds of gold.

Yu Qiu is already ready to become a fat sheep, anyway, these short knives are not difficult for him to make.

The old man was still shaking his head, but when he saw the short knife, his eyes changed. The splitter took it, and the movement was so swift that Yu Qiu couldn't react at all.

"Hmm... Boy, where did you get this knife?"

Yu Qiu observed the old man's expression, and thought in his heart, this old man didn't know whether he was friend or foe with Uncle Tie, and he explored.

"Does the old gentleman recognize this forging technique?" Yu Qiu asked rhetorically.

"No, it's just curiosity. The old man's face returned to normal, and he said, "If you want to buy this book, I will sell it to you for one crystal." ”

Yu Qiu knew that the old man must have hidden something, but now that he could buy books, he was not in a hurry to ask: "Old man, how many gold coins is a crystal dollar?"

"Ten thousand gold coins. The old gentleman said slowly.

Yu Qiu is about to vomit blood, this is no longer slaughtering sheep, and he can't afford to be a sheep!

"Can I pay in installments?" asked Yu Qiu.

"Installments?" The old man rolled his eyes, seemed to appreciate this sentence, and said: "Small business, no credit. ”

"Go ahead, don't use the book if you don't have money, put it back. The old man became impatient.

This sentence was slightly louder, and several people on the same floor heard it and looked at it.

When they saw Yu Qiu's dress, they looked very clear, as if they all understood why the old man drove people away.

One of the booksellers was an exception, he saw Yu Qiu and shouted excitedly: "Brother Yu Qiu!"

Yu Qiu looked up, but he was an old acquaintance and a fat man.

"Young Master Wen!" Yu Qiu saluted.

Fat Man Wen rushed over enthusiastically, "What young master, my friends call me Fat Man directly, you just call me Fat Man Wen, so kind." ”

Yu Qiu laughed, this fat man is really good at getting closer to people, "Okay, fat Wen, this is what you said, I will call you like this in the future." ”

Fat Man Wen seemed to be very satisfied with this title, and said with a proud smile, "What books do you want to buy, I will buy them for you, fat man." ”

Yu Qiu said: "This book will be sold for one crystal, if it is convenient for you, I will borrow it from you first and return it to you later." ”

"One crystal!" Fat Man looked surprised, but he didn't say much, and took out a small square that looked like a diamond from his arms, "Brother, take it first." ”

Yu Qiu could see that the fat man was quite painful. But I admire his willingness to trust himself.

If it were him, would he be willing to lend 10,000 gold to Fat Man like this?

Yu Qiu felt that it was not easy.

Yu Qiu took Jingyuan, "Thank you, but don't worry, I will be able to pay you back soon." ”

Yu Qiu handed a crystal to the old man, who obviously didn't expect someone to lend Yu Qiu money.

But he didn't intend to break the promise, he took the chip, lightly passed the box, opened the ban, and the box opened, and there was a roll of parchment lying inside.

The old man turned to leave, muttering in his mouth: "Where the blessing is leaning, where the blessing is lurking, where the blessing is lurking......"

Yu Qiu saw that the fat man was still in pain, knowing that a Jingyuan was also a lot of money for him, he was grateful in his heart, and he was not happy.

"Wen Fat, are you also taking the exam today?"

"Yes, I've been taking the exam for three years, and I've never been able to pass it, so I'm a shame. Wen Fat looked dejected.

Unlike Qingxue, Wen Fatzi's family has abundant wealth and resources, which is indeed more conducive to being admitted.

"I have a few questions to guess before the exam, otherwise I'll give it to you. ”

Yu Qiu took out two exam questions and handed them to Fat Wen.

As a friend, that's all there is to help.

It's too suspicious to give too many questions, only one question, may not be able to help Wen Pang get on the list, these two questions seem to be taken out at random, but in fact, they have been selected, and they are not easy for ordinary people to be familiar with, which is a more remote problem.

Pre-exam guessing is quite popular here, and it's not unusual.

"Thank you, thank you! Brother Yu Qiu will also take the exam this year?"

"I didn't take the test, I accompanied Qingxue to take the test. ”

Fat Man nodded: "Then I wish Qingxue all the best, I'll go to the examination room first." ”

Wen Fatzi saw that Yu Qiu and Qingxue had something to do, so he waved his hand and left.

Yu Qiu hurriedly flipped through the book that had just arrived.

"Two hundred years ago, Canterlot changed hands......"

This is a piece of history, talking about two hundred years ago, the current Canterlot Lord Lu Chenxing, who was originally the commander of the Canterlot Legion, led a third of the legion to mutiny, and all the countries outside the Canterlot rebelled against the Canterlot.

"Qingxue, this history is nothing special, don't you know?"

Yu Qiu felt that this was just a very ordinary history of rebellion and seizure of power.

"No, the history we know is not like this, it should be Lu Chenxing who suppressed the rebellion, and the credit was huge, and he was finally promoted as the lord of the central city ......"
