Chapter 46 Books are expensive

"Thank you, shopkeeper Dong." Mu Yunxue took the five taels and sixty-eight dollars in the hands of the shopkeeper Dong, and suddenly smiled on her face, and calculated in her heart that she now has a total of six two hundred and sixty-eight dollars, although it is not much, but it is also a small fortune.

Leaving Tianxiang Building, Mu Yunxue headed towards the next destination, the bookstore.

Mu Yunxue thought that it was not a way for Mu Zhiyi to always borrow his own medicine books to read, so she thought that it would be better to buy books for Mu Zhiyi.

Thinking like this, Mu Yunxue soon came to a bookstore called "Wenzhai", Mu Yunxue walked in, first walked around in Wenzhai, all the books were neatly classified, Mu Yunxue glanced at it, and finally walked to the category of enlightenment readings, and selected a "Three Character Classic" and a "Poetry Collection".

"A book of 600 wen, a total of 1,200 wen." The shopkeeper at the Wenzhai counter glanced at the book in Mu Yunxue's hand.

So expensive! Mu Yunxue was secretly shocked after hearing the shopkeeper say the price of these two books, a book is 600 Wen, thinking that Mu Jingze's monthly salary is only 800 Wen, this has to meet a good owner to give such a high salary, if it is an ordinary month, it is only 500 Wen, no wonder they all say that reading is expensive, it turns out that it is not only the tuition fee, but also the cost of this book.

After buying the book, Mu Yunxue put the book into the space, and then prepared to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone again, but Mu Yunxue was walking, and suddenly a horse galloped like crazy in front of her, Mu Yunxue thought of the thrilling scene at the city gate last time, so she was ready to get out of the way of the horse that was galloping.

It's just that just when Mu Yunxue was about to dodge, there was a child's cry in front of her, Mu Yunxue saw a little boy of three or four years old standing in the middle of the road with a clay figure in one hand and crying, seeing that he was about to be knocked down by the galloping horse, and the pedestrians on the road were only concerned about dodging, and no one cared about the little boy's comfort.

When Mu Yunxue saw this scene, she rushed forward without thinking about it, ready to hug the little boy away, but Mu Yunxue ignored that she was just a child, and she couldn't finish this matter in terms of speed or strength.

When Mu Yunxue rushed over and hugged the little boy standing in the middle of the road, the horse had already galloped, Mu Yunxue's heart sank, holding the little boy was a turn, closing her eyes and waiting for the horse's hooves.

Sigh~~~

With the long roar of a horse, Mu Yunxue hugged the little boy tightly, her eyes were closed, but her heart was in her throat, but after hearing the horse's call, she did not feel the pain she imagined.

"Where did this little girl come from so bold that she dared to stop my horse?" A somewhat smug young man's voice sounded above Mu Yunxue's head.

Mu Yunxue was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes, and felt that her nervous heart was not injured and relaxed, and then she saw a woman running out of the crowd and pulling the little boy Mu Yunxue was protecting in her arms.

"Xiaotuan, my mother finally found you." The woman nervously pulled the little boy, looked the little boy up and down, and after making sure that the little boy was not injured, she thanked Mu Yunxue and led the little boy to leave in a hurry, and soon disappeared into the crowd on the side of the road.

"Hey, little girl, everyone has thanked you, do you have to thank me too?" The young man's voice sounded above Mu Yunxue's head again.

Mu Yunxue reacted at this time, turned around and looked up, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sitting on a black tall horse, the young man was dressed in expensive clothes, and he looked like a rich and noble person.

"Why should I thank you?" Mu Yunxue looked up at the young man and said with some doubts.

The young man was startled at first after seeing Mu Yunxue for the first time, and then quickly recovered to the appearance of a young man, and continued: "Of course, if it weren't for Young Master Ben who pulled the reins in time, you would be a corpse at this moment." ”

What kind of logic is this? Mu Yunxue said in her heart, she was very speechless about the logic of the young man.

"It was you who almost hurt someone in the street, and you should have apologized to me." Mu Yunxue looked directly at the young man and continued.

"What is your name, you dare to ask Young Master Ben to apologize to you!" The young man looked directly at Mu Yunxue condescendingly, but a pair of good-looking Danfeng eyes stared at Mu Yunxue's face without blinking.

Receiving the fiery gaze of the young man, Mu Yunxue secretly felt in her heart, although after this month's recuperation, her face had more flesh than before, and her skin had become the pink and pink that a child should have, but she was only an eight-year-old girl, what was the matter with the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy staring at herself like this? Could it be that this person in front of him has bad habits? Thinking like this, Mu Yunxue shuddered in her heart, feeling that she had to leave here quickly.

And Dongfang Liao, who was sitting on the horse, was shocked the moment he saw Mu Yunxue, although the little girl in front of him was not open, but it was very similar to the girl he dreamed of in his dream this month, just a small one and a big one.

"You don't need to apologize to me, thank you for taking the reins in time." Mu Yunxue decided to leave in her heart, so she didn't want to dwell on it anymore, so she decisively said thank you to the young man on the horse, then turned around and ran, and disappeared into the crowd as fast as she could.

"Eh, don't go, you haven't told me your name yet!" Dongfang Liao turned around and ran away when he saw Mu Yunxue finish speaking, wanting to catch up on horseback, but he gave up when he saw the people around him.

"Isn't it arrogant?" A young man who had been riding a horse and sitting behind Dongfang Ao spoke at this time.

"No, after all, this is the Jin Kingdom, let's find an inn to rest first." Dongfang Liao said, but his eyes looked in the direction where Mu Yunxue had disappeared just now, and after making sure that he didn't see Mu Yunxue's figure, he retracted his gaze with some disappointment.

After Mu Yunxue ran away, she saw that there was no young man riding a horse behind her, so she put her mind at ease, and then looked for a shop that sold pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Inkshop! Mu Yunxue looked at the cards in front of her, and secretly said that the name of the shop in Anyang Town is also straightforward, the one who sells books is called Wenzhai, and the one who sells pen, ink, paper, and inkstone is called Mozhai.

Walking into the ink shop, Mu Yunxue first glanced at the price of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the store, this store is very direct, directly pasting a price list in front of each item on the shelf, so that the price of each thing is clear at a glance, and she looks at it and buys it.

Mu Yunxue took a look, the cheapest inkstone costs 800 yuan, the cheapest brush costs 300 yuan, the cheapest ink costs one or two silver, and the cheapest paper costs 10 yuan.

"Boss, has the 'bluestone inkstone' I ordered arrived?" At this time, a person Mu Yunxue knew came to Mozhai - Mu Zhiwen.

Mu Yunxue was originally looking at some cheap pen, ink, paper and inkstone on a shelf in the store, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Mu Zhiwen in a long shirt walking in, so Mu Yunxue instinctively hid, and then peeked by the way.

"It's Mu Gongzi, the bluestone inkstone you want has arrived, I'll show it to you." The shopkeeper behind the ink studio counter immediately showed a flattering smile on Mu Zhiwen's face when he saw it, and then took out a very delicate box from behind the counter and opened it in front of Mu Zhiwen, "Mu Gongzi, look, this is the bluestone inkstone you want." ”

Mu Zhiwen was first shocked when he saw the bluestone inkstone in the box, and then he couldn't wait to pick up the bluestone inkstone and look at it, and then nodded with satisfaction and said to the shopkeeper of Mozhai: "Well, it's a bluestone inkstone, wrap it up for me!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute!" The shopkeeper immediately showed a smile on his face after hearing that Mu Zhiwen asked for this bluestone inkstone, and took out a piece of oiled paper from the counter to package the bluestone inkstone and its box.

"Mu Gongzi, this bluestone inkstone is five hundred taels, look!" After the shopkeeper packed the bluestone inkstone, he began to ask Mu Zhiwen for money.

"Here's the remaining four hundred and fifty taels." Mu Zhiwen heard the shopkeeper's slightly tentative and cautious flattering words, his eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently, but he still took out four hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the silver ticket handed over by Mu Zhiwen, then looked at it and counted it before putting it into the counter, and then took out a piece of paper from the counter and handed it to Mu Zhiwen.

Mu Zhiwen took the paper in the shopkeeper's hand and put it away, and then carried the bluestone inkstone out of the ink studio.

Seeing Mu Zhiwen leaving, Mu Yunxue didn't pay attention to the counter anymore, but continued to choose what she wanted to buy.

In the end, Mu Yunxue bought the cheapest inkstone of 800 Wen, two brushes of 300 Wen, an ink strip of one or two silver, and 20 pieces of paper of ten Wen.

"These things are a total of two or six hundred dollars." The shopkeeper of Mozhai glanced at the things Mu Yunxue selected, and then used the abacus to calculate the total amount.

"Here's two, two, six hundred." Mu Yunxue took out two taels of silver and six hundred coins from his sleeve, which was actually taken out of the space.

The shopkeeper took the money from Mu Yunxue's hand, and then happily packed everything for Mu Yunxue.

"Shopkeeper, do you sell those papers?" Suddenly, Mu Yunxue saw a stack of papers in a corner behind the counter, but this pile of papers didn't look very good, it looked messy, and it looked a bit like unwanted waste paper.

"This," the shopkeeper followed Mu Yunxue's gaze, glanced at the stack of papers that Mu Yunxue said, and said, "If you want, I will give you all the fifty yuan." ”

"Can it be cheaper?" Mu Yunxue continued to ask.

"Fifty wen, a lot." The attitude of the shopkeeper is that there is no room for negotiation.

"Okay, wrap it up for me, here's fifty cents." Mu Yunxue saw that the shopkeeper had a tough attitude, so she no longer planned to bargain, and took out fifty yuan from her sleeve and put it on the table.

I bought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and used a total of two taels of silver and six hundred and fifty wen, and Mu Yunxue sighed secretly when she held the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in her hand, and sighed secretly, the money to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone is almost enough for the living expenses of several poor people, and it is really expensive to read!

After finding a hidden place, Mu Yunxue put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in her hand into the space, but Mu Yunxue felt that it was too unsafe to walk on the street with such a valuable thing.

After finishing the work, Mu Yunxue was also ready to find the third brother Mu Zhiyi and Yang Die who were separated from him, but although this Anyang Town is only a town, it is not small, Mu Yunxue walked on the left for a while, walked on the right for a while, walked in front for a while, and walked behind for a while without seeing the third brother Mu Zhiyi and Yang Die.
