[Five chapters will be posted today, and one chapter will be updated every fifteen minutes]

After Bai Jinyu and Wumu separated, they walked out of the abandoned garden, out of the alley, and onto the street.

The wide Suzaku Street is full of traffic and people, every word of the shop signs and banners on the street is something she knows, everything sold by the roadside stalls is her kind, and there is a restaurant and tea shop, and the signature dishes in it are all her favorite food.

She hasn't eaten yet.

Is this the time to go?

Bai Jinyu's heart felt an indescribable taste.

But if she doesn't leave, where can she stay in Da Zheng?

It is impossible for Cuizhu to take her in, and she will not go to the mother of Su Mansion if she dies, Fengchen is here...... Bai Jinyu sighed sadly: "What's the matter with Guan Fengchen!" ”

More than 20 days ago, she returned to Dazheng because she was looking for Umu, and now that Umu has also been found, it should be complete, but why, she always feels that there is something that has not been completed?

Since it came out under the pretext of buying paper, I always have to buy some paper and go back to pay for it. Bai Jinyu lowered his head and pondered as he walked towards Dongshi.

The east market of Chang'an is close to the residences of the emperor's relatives and dignitaries, so the treasures of the four directions are gathered, and the shops in the city are all high-end and first-class materials.

Bai Jinyu wandered around with all his heart, and almost missed the century-old brand that operated the four treasures of the study on the East Market, Wenyuanzhai.

Wenyuanzhai is not only the most famous Wenbao shop in Chang'an City, but also second to none in the entire Great Sign. The rice paper sold here is pure, tough and moist, and the only drawback is that the price is very expensive, so it is generally only bought by wealthy families or famous families.

Bai Jinyu stepped into Wenyuanzhai, there were no customers in the store, and the shopkeeper in the store was discussing with the apprentice on a roll of danqing. As soon as he saw her enter, the apprentice came up enthusiastically and asked, "What does the girl want?" ”

Bai Jinyu said truthfully: "I want to buy some rice paper for copying scriptures." ”

The apprentice hurriedly said politely: "Okay, please here." With that, he led her through a shop hall and into a side room.

The room is very quiet, the ink is fragrant, there is a long table with a width of one zhang and a length of three zhang in the middle of the room, and there are stacks of paper bundles neatly stacked on the table like a mountain, in which the paper has white, yellow, black, gold, with grid line without grid line, there are countless categories, everything.

Bai Jinyu opened his eyes a little, and he was dazzled for a while, and said to the apprentice: "Can I take a look for myself first." ”

The apprentice bowed his head and retreated in amusement.

Bai Jinyu looked at the paper products in his eyes, and was a little dumbfounded, this Wen Yuanzhai really deserves its reputation, who ever wanted to copy the scriptures There are so many kinds of paper. She approached the table and took a closer look, and couldn't help but think of the kind of scroll used for Fengchen in the departure view, which was in good condition, so she searched for it in the sea of papers.

After a while, Bai Jinyu already held a pile of paper goods in her hand, and when she was about to pick up another golden scroll, she realized that her collecting habit had flinched. I can't help but think of Wen Yan's evaluation of her many years ago - "Whether it is suitable or not, buy it first and then talk about it".

She restrained herself from letting go of the scroll she wanted to pick up, and put most of the bundles of paper in her arms back into place, leaving only one in her hand similar to the one in the Departure View.

She raised her eyes and looked around, and found a place where the brush and inkstone were placed, and thought that she would have to buy some more pen and ink to go back, after all, it would not be easy to use Wenyuanzhai when she went to Duoyue in the future.

Didn't take two steps.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound under his feet, as if he had stepped on something small, Bai Jinyu stopped, moved his foot, and saw a black piece of wood lying on the ground.

As if a strong light had been shaken in front of him, Bai Jinyu stared straight at the piece of wood, and fell into a shock for a moment, completely speechless.

The reverse side of this piece of wood fell to the ground, the size of the waist card, the color of black and purple, and the carved pattern of gold inlaid with jade bamboo.

This is Cuizhu's agarwood name!

As long as it is a protΓ©gΓ© of Cuizhu, each person has a piece, the reverse side is gold inlaid with jade bamboo pattern, and the front is the name of the protΓ©gΓ©.

Bai Jinyu squatted down, and the piece of wood on the ground could be seen more clearly,

Her heart was pounding suddenly, and she stiffly stretched out her hand to pick up the piece of wood, when suddenly a pair of step boots came into her sight, and she was too late, and the piece of wood was picked up first.

Bai Jinyu raised his head and got up, and the person who came was the shopkeeper in the store.

"Oh, why did you end up here?" The shopkeeper wondered.

Bai Jinyu opened his mouth and said in a dry voice: "Excuse me, this ...... Is it Cuizhu's name? ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Aha, the girl recognizes it?" ”

Bai Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled.

The shopkeeper was quite proud, but suddenly lowered his voice and said, "This is imitation!" ”

Bai Jinyu was surprised: "Fake? ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "If this thing is real, it will be so expensive!" Luzhou Cuizhu's agarwood name is more glorious than a six-grade official! However, I often have sons of families who admire Cuizhu here, and they are willing to buy this imitation to go back to have a good time or make people read, so I also have some stock here. ”

Bai Jinyu nodded speechlessly.

The shopkeeper saw that Bai Jinyu was a little disapproving, and hurriedly said: "Girl, don't underestimate this imitation, we are also customizing it with high-quality agarwood, which is enough to fake the real 10,000-year-old agarwood!" ”

Bai Jinyu cried and laughed: "Have you ever seen the real Cuizhu name? ”

The shopkeeper said, "Yes." ”

Bai Jinyu smiled and shook his head: "Impossible, if I guess correctly, the shopkeeper at most got a famous white drawing, and then listened to the description, and then made this thing." ”

The shopkeeper was surprised that Bai Jinyu disdainfully called this limited agarwood chip "this thing", and couldn't help but look her up and down with his eyes up, and determined that her identity was absolutely extraordinary, and then asked with a respectful expression: "What is the difference between the real Cuizhu name and this?" ”

Bai Jinyu pointed to the wooden chips in the shopkeeper's hand and said: "Agarwood is made of high-quality wood and condensed with incense, and it is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The upper grade sinks when it enters the water, the middle grade stands suspended in the water, and the lower grade does not enter the water. The agarwood of Cuizhu is the top grade of the top grade, even if it is a hundred feet deep pool, it can sink to the bottom, whether it is really Cuizhu's name, throw it into the water and try it. ”

Bai Jinyu talked eloquently like a number of family treasures, and unconsciously surrounded the apprentices of Wen Yuanzhai in a circle.

The shopkeeper inquisitively asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes," Bai Jinyu continued, "The usual agarwood does smell strange, but it only overflows grease when it is burned, while the agarwood of Cuizhu only needs to be slightly smoked on the incense candle to float the grease. This is also a way to distinguish the authenticity. ”

The shopkeeper sighed and sighed: "I see, no wonder this agarwood can become one of the three treasures of Cuizhu!" ”

A young apprentice immediately asked, "What are the other two treasures of Cuizhu?" ”
