Chapter 138: The Gift
A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and when midsummer comes, Chen Yuan finally ushered in his first vacation to study in the Taoist Academy. Pack your bags, Chen Yuan called Feng Sanqi, Zhang Ling'er and others again, this time even Xiao Wanqing called him over, on the one hand, he wanted to introduce his friends to Feng Sanqi and others, and on the other hand, he wanted to go around Youtian City.
Bring some fresh gadgets to the elders in the family, as well as the uncles and aunts in the village, most of the people in the village have stayed in that small village all their lives and have never been to the big city, so this time I will go back and bring some things from the big city, so that they can be fresh.
His proposal was strongly supported by the group, so, after saying hello to the teacher in charge of student life in the military palace, a group of twelve people, including Chen Yuan, rushed to the commercial area of Youtian City.
As for why there are twelve people, it has to start after the college competition. Xiao Wanqing and Liao Xunzi needless to say, one is familiar with Chen Yuan, and the other is because of Zhang Ling'er, and the dead face is mixed into the small group of Chen Yuan's three.
In the past month, because of Liao Xun, Han Guangjun, Wei Liuyin, and Li Chongbing have gradually become familiar with Chen Yuan, and Feng Sanqi's side, Agoli came to visit from time to time during his healing, and after Feng Sanqi recovered from his injury, this connection was not broken, and he became familiar with Chen Yuan and a few people.
And Agoli happened to be friends with Liu Qiqing of Wengong, so Liu Qiqing, a talkative scholar, also joined the group. There are a total of four students from the Taoist Academy in Xiaoqing City, in addition to Chen Yuan and Xiao Wanqing, Wang Feng chose to go to the Zhenggong because he failed to pass the second round of exams in the Wugong Palace, which also has a lot to do with the fact that his family is a noble family, he is the only seedling of the head of the family, and he will definitely inherit the family in the future.
And although Zhai Ruohan passed the second round of selection of the Martial Palace with the sixth-level affinity, she didn't like to fight, but she didn't want to see injuries and bloodshed, so she chose to go to the Medicine Palace to study, the water attribute is the same as the wood attribute, both have healing properties, and in conjunction with the teaching course of the Medicine Palace, she will presumably become a great physician in the future.
They all came out of the same place, and this time I went home to naturally go back together, so I didn't forget the two of them this time for shopping. So the team grew larger and larger, reaching the size of twelve people.
However, the twelve people here, most of them are outstanding students who have participated in the student competition, and there are five people in the top six of the freshman group, including the champion, second and third runner-up, unconsciously, this small group formed by chance has already had great influence among the freshmen, after all, these people can be regarded as famous figures among the freshmen.
"What do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a few clothes, the academy doesn't have a rule that I have to wear uniform student shirts, and in the summer, I have to buy a few beautiful clothes. ”
"Yes, yes, that's what I thought!"
"Recently, I have been practicing in the academy every day, and I haven't been out for a long time, I remember the last time I saw a particularly beautiful dress, I didn't have that much money at the time, and now I have saved enough money, I don't know if the skirt is still there. ”
"What you saw at home?"
"It's in a shop on the east side of the main street in the business district, and they all have a nice color. ”
Girls are talking about buying clothes, and no matter what world they are, beauty seems to be a common trait among women.
And there are many places where the boys want to go, Feng Sanqi, who has itchy hands for more than a month, must go to the gambling house to go around, Wei Liuyin wants to go to the weapon shop to have a look, after the academy lost to Chen Yuan, he realized that having a weapon in his hand for the improvement of combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Although he was already making up the materials and asking the teacher of the Weapon Palace to build a spirit weapon for himself, but he couldn't refine it for a while, Wei Liuyin thought that before his spirit weapon was refined, he would see if there was a weapon of slightly better quality in the weapon shop in Youtian City, and make do with it first.
Liu Qiqing wanted to go to the bookstore to take a look, although there are many books in the library of the Taoist Academy, but they are all professional books, similar to practice, exercises, etc., and there are few books that record anecdotes and legends that ordinary people use to pass the time.
And the use of Liu Qiqing's mantra jade book just requires unbridled imagination, these seemingly useless books can give him a lot of combat inspiration, he looks for such books to watch, in addition to liking to read, to pass the time, it is also a disguised way to improve combat effectiveness.
"Chongbing, what are your plans for the holidays, continue to stay in the academy to cultivate?" Walking on the road, Chen Yuan turned his head and asked Li Chongbing beside him.
"It should be, I don't have any plans to go out in the near future, I feel that my strength is still not enough, I should find some exercises and medicinal materials to improve the resilience of the meridians and the body's endurance during the holidays, you know, the price of my use of spiritual power is too painful, I have to find a way, it will definitely not work like this." I'm definitely going to improve my strength this vacation, so I'll have to be careful next time. ”
Li Chongbing said. Regarding Li Chongbing's warning, Chen Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you exceed it easily." With that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Li Chongbing is a native of Youtian City, his home is in Youtian City, and it can be regarded as a small aristocratic family, but in a capital city like Youtian City, there are many nobles in the city, so Li Chongbing does not have any sense of superiority in his aristocratic status.
"Don't talk about me, what are you going to buy this time? Don't tell me you didn't think about it. Li Chongbing obviously didn't want to continue the previous topic, the healthy competition between the two ultimately had to rely on strength to speak, and it didn't make sense to say too much.
"Of course, grandpa is old, and his crutches have been used for a long time, and I want to give him a new one, a better one. My mother has worked hard with my father for half her life, and she has been simple for half her life, and I want to buy her some beautiful clothes and jewelry.
My uncle is a typical mountain man, he likes to hunt, and it is right to give him a hard bow and a quick crossbow, and my aunt is weak, so buy some supplements. And my sister also had to buy some new clothes, as well as some special snacks and toys from the city.
Uncle Wang, who is next door to my house, doesn't have a good waist, and needs a soft cushion when he sits down to eat. I remember that the scythe of the village head Li Bo was not very easy to use, so this time I brought him a sharper ······" Chen Yuan counted the road one by one with his fingers, and when he walked all the way, he saw that he was about to reach the business district, so Chen Yuan counted all the people in the village.
Not only Li Chongbing, but even the others in his group looked at him like a monster.
"Are you going to bring back so many things?" Feng Sanqi couldn't believe it, Chen Yuan Lin had at least listed hundreds of things, including crutches, clothes, sickles, hats, hard bows, supplements, snacks, etc., all kinds of things.
"That's right, take them all back, this is a list that I spent a few days compiling, including some daily necessities, as well as special products or something, all of which I arranged according to the situation of everyone in the village, of course I have to take them all back!" Chen Yuan said as a matter of course.
"Let's not talk about how many of these things there are, do you think that just a few of us can bring these things back to the academy from here? It doesn't matter how heavy it is, the key is that there are too many of them, and we can't hold them all in a few more hands!" Liu Qiqing said, Chen Yuan asked him to come out on the condition that he was not allowed to talk nonsense, but this time he seemed to be very reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Why do we want to take it back ourselves, I paid for it and let the store deliver it directly to the gate of the academy? Could it be that in Youtian City, there are still merchants who dare not give goods to the students of the Daoist Academy who have already paid?" Chen Yuan said as he looked at them a little strangely.
Only then did everyone remember that their current identity was a student of the Daoist Academy, and the status of the Youtian Daoist Academy in Youtian City was extremely high, and it was a place used to cultivate high-level officials in the whole domain, and even almost all the domain masters in the Youtian Domain had studied in the Daoist Academy, with the reputation of the Daoist Academy, it was very easy to let the store deliver the goods, just pay for it, and there was no need to worry about the transportation of goods.
"I've also hired two carriages, one specifically for my things, which should be waiting at the gate of the academy by now, and I can leave when I'm done. Chen Yuan continued.
At this moment, everyone was convinced, Chen Yuan had obviously arranged all the matters to go home, and then called them to go shopping together, the problems they could take into account, Chen Yuan had already taken into account, and even how to transport these things home, he had already thought about it, so everyone didn't say anything.
At this time, Liao Xun asked a question, "It takes a lot of money to hire a carriage, you also hired two, is the money you have enough money to buy things next? Do you need me to lend you some first?" At this time, everyone looked at Chen Yuan together, obviously this is a big problem.
Chen Yuan said with a smile: "No, no, before I left, I exchanged 10,000 gold yuan in the exchange hall, and it cost 4,000 to hire two carriages, plus the living expenses I brought about 500 gold yuan, and there are 6,500 leftovers." I roughly calculated that after buying these things, there should be some leftovers. ”
Everyone was stunned, the exchange hall of the Taoist Academy has the option to exchange contribution points for gold dollars, but the exchange ratio is one to one. For the students of the Daoist Academy, the contribution value can be exchanged for things that money can't buy in the academy, so in the Daoist Academy, the contribution value is far more valuable than the gold yuan, and no one will exchange such an exchange ratio at all.
I didn't expect that there is such a person today who is "stupid and has a lot of contributions", and he exchanged his valuable contribution value for secular money, and it was as much as 10,000 yuan in exchange, which made everyone a little speechless.
"You shouldn't have changed it, it's not worth it. Zhang Linger couldn't help but say.
"It's worth it! Of course it's worth it! You can earn it again if you don't have any contribution points, but if I bring these things back, I can see the smiling faces of everyone in the village, of course it's worth it!" Chen Yuan shook his head and said to everyone with a smile.
Hearing Chen Yuan's words, everyone was stunned, and a strange feeling was born from the bottom of their hearts. Indeed, the heartfelt smiles of loved ones and friends are clearly more important than these contributions.
Chen Yuan's actions and words made everyone present thoughtful, as the top talents who entered the Taoist Academy to study, they received too much praise and attention, so much so that they ignored the feelings of their relatives around them, Chen Yuan's words touched them a lot.
