Chapter 39: Old Books

Although Ji Qing didn't know what the use of this second letter was, no matter what, he still had to get this reward.

She had a premonition that this second letter must have something to do with her or someone she knew.

Following.

After breakfast, Ji Qing went out with honeysuckle and holly.

Mama Yu and Amber were worried that Ji Qing and the two maids would not be safe enough to go out, so before leaving, they ordered the little maid Yuanbao to follow.

This time, I went to Zhiyuan Study.

According to the prompts of the system, the reward of this mission can only be obtained by going to Zhiyuan Study.

When Ji Qing arrived, she walked to the door of Zhiyuan's study, and saw a man in a coarse cloth shirt walking not far away, the man was about thirty years, he was still tall, but his steps were weak, his cheeks and the tip of his nose were red, and as he got closer and closer, he could still smell a strong smell of wine.

System: "Lock the target person, ask the host to buy what the target person has in their hand." ”

Hearing the prompt of the system, Ji Qing found that the man also held a burden in his hand, the burden should be a little heavy, judging from the protruding edges and corners on the furoshi, it should be filled with some sharp and angular hard objects.

Even if you come to the study, what else can be in this baggage?

Book.

Ji Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, she glanced at the ingots and whispered a few more words.

Yuan Bao is a clever person, and after Ji Qing's order, he pretended to be careless when the man passed by, and deliberately bumped into the man, knocking the burden in the man's hand to the ground.

"Whoa!"

The burden was immediately scattered by this impact, and the books contained in it were also scattered all over the ground.

Ji Qing glanced at it roughly, these books were all ordinary books, and there was nothing abnormal.

The man glared at Yuan Bao with an annoyed expression at this time: "How did you walk!" Don't have long eyes? ”

Yuan Bao raised a smile and was careful: "Oh, this big brother, I'm really sorry, it's me who is not good, I am not good, big brother, don't be like me......"

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, even if the man is a little annoyed, seeing the appearance of the ingot, he didn't continue to get angry in the end.

Yuan Bao helped pick up the books that had been left on the ground, and greeted enthusiastically: "Big brother, seeing that you are in a hurry, is there something urgent?" ”

can be favored by Amber and Mama Yu, Yuanbao naturally has strengths, no, a few words of kung fu can make this man's situation clear.

It turned out that the man had come to Zhiyuan Study to sell these old books.

The man's father is an old talent, he has read books all his life, and he has not been able to pass the examination for half his life, and then he saw that the scientific examination was hopeless, so he had no choice but to help people copy letters for a living.

Ten years ago, this old Xiucai didn't know which nobleman's blue eyes he had, but he made a lot of silver, but this old Xiucai was probably an unlucky life, and he died of a violent illness shortly after.

As soon as Lao Xiucai left, the money fell into the hands of his only son, that is, the man.

With this money, the man lived a good life for a few years.

But the man was a lazy man, although the money was a lot, but after a few years, the family became impoverished again.

No, now life can't go on, and the man remembered that Lao Xiucai still left some books.

Books are expensive things, and selling these old books to the study can get some money, and it is always not a problem to eat and drink well for a while.

That's why the man brought these books to Zhiyuan's study.

Zhiyuan study is the largest and most famous study in the capital, whether it is bought or sold, it is a well-known child.

After listening to the man's words, Yuan Bao smiled "hehe", "Yo, big brother, this is a coincidence, my son-in-law has no other hobbies, he likes to collect these old paintings and calligraphy, it is not right for me to bump into my eldest brother today, or else, I bought these books for my son-in-law, and I will definitely give you a price that is not lower than Zhiyuan Study, what do you think, big brother?" ”

The man's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

Yuan Bao nodded sincerely: "Naturally, it's true, so let's go to Zhiyuan Study to estimate the price of these books of the eldest brother, no matter what kind of price Zhiyuan Study makes, I will buy it at a price one or two higher?" ”

Men are naturally willing.

An extra tael of silver, that's enough to eat and drink a few meals!

Subsequently, Yuan Bao and the man took those old books into the Zhiyuan study.

Although it is an old book, there are a lot of them, and Lao Xiucai kept them properly, and Zhiyuan Study also gave a price of thirty taels, because Yuan Bao had an appointment with the man in advance, and finally these books were bought by Yuan Bao for thirty-one taels of silver.

The man took the silver and went away happily.

Ji Qing returned to the carriage as early as when Yuan Bao was talking to the man, and after Yuan Bao got the book, he also returned to the carriage and said in a low voice: "Master, the book has been obtained." ”

Honeysuckle and Holly took the books from the ingots.

Because of the abundance and weight of the books, it took the two maids several times to get all the books into the carriage.

Ji Qing was not in a hurry to read these books.

Anyway, the book has already arrived, but I'm not in a hurry at this time, and when I get home, I have time to read it.

What Ji Qing didn't know was that when the carriage she was riding drove away from the Zhiyuan study, in the Zhiyuan study, a lady who was about fifty years old came to the lobby, followed by two maids with a few books.

Seeing her daughter standing in the lobby, the lady reached out and patted her daughter's shoulder in surprise: "Yue'er, why do you want to be so engrossed?" ”

The lady called "Yue'er" by this lady was a young woman of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, who was patted by her mother, she withdrew from her memories, and then looked outside the Zhiyuan study, and then said with some hesitation: "Mother, I ...... I just seem to have seen Ruyi! ”

……

Back at the house in Xinghua Hutong, Ji Qing changed into his homely clothes and entered the study with the books he bought.

There is only one owner of Ji Qing in this house, and she naturally lives in the main room, there are three main rooms, as Ji Qing's daily living, there is an ear room on each side, the east ear room is a warehouse, and the west ear room is arranged as Ji Qing's study.

At the beginning, Ji Qing actually wanted to leave the main house vacant and live in the West Wing by himself.

She thought that when the Lu family and the others returned to Beijing, there must always be a place to stay.

But later Ji Qing dispelled this idea.

She firmly believes that the Ji family has suffered injustice, and even if her mother wants to return to Beijing, she should return to Beijing in a dignified manner after clearing the grievances of the Ji family.

At that time, the Ji family's house was also returned to the Ji family from Angelica.
