Chapter 8: Huainanzi

As the incident ended, the flow of people receded like a tide, the scoundrel was escorted away by several villagers, the widow also left the hall after repeated thanks, and Mink Ruxiao smiled and beckoned Yuyi, writing in his hand.

"Recently, the hospitality has been inadequate, and I ask the little friends not to be surprised."

Then he turned his body and said something to the girl, only to see that the girl was very happy, walking briskly, close to Yuyi, she pointed to the main entrance of the hall, and then continued to walk out of the door, the girl's body with body fragrance, so that Yuyi could not help it, and when he reacted, he found that the girl had gone away, and quickly nodded to Mink Ruxiao, which was a response, and then chased out.

He was followed by Zhang Daniu, who was always in a bad mood, and his eyes were full of hostility when he looked at Yuyi.

Not far away, the girl took a branch, and from her font Yu Yi whitened Mink Ruxiao's intentions.

It turned out that he wanted her to take herself to familiarize herself with the environment of Daoxiang Village, and at the same time be Yuyi's language teacher, teaching him the language of Daoxiang Village, the girl's name is Mink Xue, in her words, because she was born in a snowy weather, so there is the word snow in the name, and her own skin is pure white as snow, just like the name of the so-called person, or in the process of reading the words, she got a little close to Mink Xue, and was kicked away by Zhang Daniu.

Mink Xue glared at Zhang Daniu, but there was no way, her own relative, pestering herself all day long, although the two families had already set a baby kiss, but Mink Xue didn't like Zhang Daniu, and Zhang Daniu was very persistent, thinking that she had been following her, there would always be a day when she could impress her, and Mink Ruxiao also knew about this, but she had already promised others, so she could only acquiesce to some of Zhang Daniu's practices.

Yuyi was kicked to the ground, and he was naturally unconvinced in his heart, but he had no power to restrain the chicken, and fighting back would only suffer more, so he could only grit his teeth, and secretly thought in his heart that he must quickly improve his strength and raise his eyebrows once.

Later, when communicating with Mink Xue, he could only deliberately keep his distance, which made the two very embarrassed. Fortunately, Mink Xue has patience, Yuyi has the foundation of Lishu, and has some language talent, so the learning process is very smooth, by noon, basically learned most of the common common language, although not very fluent to communicate, but the obstacles are basically removed. Mink Xue was also amazed by Yuyi's learning speed, and was happy for him in her heart.

Or the learning process is too monotonous, a few people meet to go to Daoxiang Village for a walk, in fact, the structure of this village is very simple, there are only two streets, but the distance span is very large.

The gate where the carriage entered is in the east, which is the main gate of Daoxiang Village, Mink Ruxiao's address is in the west of the village, and the location further west is a large lake, called Mink Family Lake, named according to the surname of the village, the north side of the village is a big mountain, there is a large forest under the mountain, and near the woods is the mine, it is said that there is a rich ore harvest, and the mountain is farmland, but there is a large piece of medicine farmland in the northwest of the farmland, and the center of the village is a variety of shops, namely: "weapons, books, pharmacies, wine, prey, rain, grocery stores, Pawnshop, cloth shop, stable" is just under the façade, the scale is low, it is said to be a shop, in fact, it is some objects placed by the villagers themselves, most of the things in it are brought by wandering merchants from all over the country, there are not many types, the number is scarce, in addition, there is a martial arts platform and a fighting wisdom platform in the east and west of the village, which is the place where the villagers use to fight literature and martial arts......

Daoxiang Village is not big, but it is also a sparrow although it is small, and there are more shopping malls in the rain, but this kind of primitive market is still the first time to see, the shouting of the merchants, the sound of the butcher's chopping meat, and the sound of the iron of the boss of the weapons store are intertwined to form a wonderful music, for thousands of years, people have feelings for the vegetable market, and they are also very keen to visit the vegetable market, which may be the reason.

"Boss, how much does this book cost?" Yu Yi wandered into a bookstore and saw a copy of "Huainanzi", the book looked very old, and the book cover had even begun to rot, but I don't know why Yu Yi was interested in this.

"The guest officer can recognize the goods, this book was bought by me from a friend in Changsha, this is the only one on the market, there is nothing else, see that you are a friend of the mink girl, even if you are cheaper, 1000 yuan." The owner of this bookstore is very good at doing business, and one sentence made Yuyi's heart move, but Yuyi didn't know what the concept of 1000 money was, so he turned to Mink Xue for help.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was an agricultural and cultural society, belonging to the real economy, although there was money circulation, but the middle conversion was rice, a grain of rice is equivalent to 5,000,000 money, a pound of gold is worth 10,000 dollars, a grain of rice is equivalent to 50 pounds of gold, that is an ordinary person a year according to the cultivated land tax per mu yield of one-fifteenth, equivalent to 900 money, so 10,000 money is the tax money of others who have worked hard for ten years to farm the land.

Mink Xue's narration surprised Yuyi, e-books are popular in modern society, paper books are sold at a discount, and you can buy a large stack of them back on the Internet, in this era, ordinary people can't even afford a book, no wonder there are so many illiterates, it turns out that knowledge is too expensive.

Mink Xue snatched the book in Yu Yi's hand, noticed the name of the book "Huainanzi", didn't say a word, paid for the book for Yu Yi, and handed the book to Yu Yi.

"Huainanzi" (also known as "Huainan Honglie", "Liu Anzi") is a philosophical work written by Liu An, the king of Huainan of the Western Han Dynasty, and his disciples, which belongs to miscellaneous works. On the basis of inheriting the pre-Qin Taoist thought, the book combines yin and yang, ink, law and some Confucianism, but the main purpose belongs to Taoism. Liu An's father, Liu Chang, was the concubine of Han Gaozu and was named the king of Huainan, and Liu An, as the eldest son, inherited his father's title, so he was also called the king of Huainan. Liu An's purpose in writing Huainanzi was to target Liu Che, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, to oppose the political and metallurgical reforms he promoted.

When Yu Yi reacted that Mink Xue had already paid the bill, it was too late, and the other party had already walked out of the book house with the book, this "Huainanzi" itself has nothing special, except that the content is more specific than the modern version, thicker, that is, the paper is broken, and some words are not even clear, the reason why Yu Yi chose it is that in the lower right corner of the cover of the book, there are a few lines of words on it, "Enhance personal political and historical knowledge and charm".

"Thank you!"

Yuyi chased him out, except for thanking Mink Xuedao, he couldn't give anything back within his ability.

"You like to read, and that's good."

Mink Xue gently put the book in Yuyi's hand, smiled slightly, and continued to walk forward.

Zhang Daniu, who was following behind, was obviously a little dissatisfied, snatched Yuyi's book, and hummed, "What's the big deal about knowing a few words, in society, who will reason with you in the event of a conflict, or fists will work." ”

Yuyi noticed that Zhang Daniu's eyes were always fixed on the 3 words "Huainanzi" on the cover of the book, so he reminded Zhang Daniu, in fact, the lower right corner of the cover is also a word, which can improve his strength, but the other party not only did not thank him, but even became more popular, shouting loudly: "The yin and yin in the lower right corner are blank, and you insult yourself so much." ”

Yuyi's behavior angered Zhang Daniu, which made him think that the other party not only looked down on him for not knowing words, but also deliberately teased him, his fists were already clucking, and now Yuyi would be beaten again......
