Chapter 277: The Book Shop
Seeing Qiao Ruyi say this, Qiao Ruxin lowered her face and pulled Qiao Ruyi to walk forward-
Nina Xin, what are you doing here, okay, I'll eat it too, let's eat one branch each, okay-
Qiao Ruyi listened and said hurriedly.
Uh-huh, sister-
Qiao Nina became happy at this time, came to the candy man stall, and asked the owner of the candy seller for two sugar men, a small rabbit and a big horse.
Qiao Nina left the little rabbit herself, and then handed the big horse to Qiao Ruyi:
Sister, you eat
Qiao Ruyi took it, took a bite, and said: It's so sweet-
Well, it's very sweet-
Qiao Nina replied with a smile.
Alright, the candy man has eaten, let's get down to business
Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Nina finished eating the candy man, came to a bookstore, and after entering, they saw rows of bookshelves, and there were rows of books on the shelves, and there were three or five people in them to choose their favorite books.
Qiao Ruyi looked at an old gentleman in front of the counter, looking at it should be the owner of this bookstore, Qiao Ruyi took Qiao Ruxin forward, Qiao Ruyi first smiled and said to the old gentleman:
Sir, are you the shopkeeper of this bookstore?
The old gentleman looked up at Qiao Ruyi, nodded and replied: I am the shopkeeper of this bookstore, may I ask the girl what is the matter?
This old gentleman was very kind, and he spoke with a gentle atmosphere, which made Qiao Ruyi's slightly nervous heart become much calmer.
Qiao Ruyi continued: That's the case, old man, I want to ask, do you have any book copying work in this bookstore, I can read and write, and I want to find some book copying work to do
Oh, I see-
The old gentleman stretched his tone, glanced at Qiao Ruyi up and down again, and asked: Our bookstore has the job of copying books, but can you copy it, girl?
It's no wonder that the old gentleman has doubts, after all, the people who used to come to his shop to copy books were some scholars such as Xiucai, and now it is the first time I have seen a girl come to copy books.
Qiao Ruyi was very confident, she couldn't embroider, but she wrote a good hand, so she recommended herself to the old gentleman:
Sir, I can copy it, if you don't believe it, then I can write a few words for you to see now-
Qiao Ruyi was full of confidence, the shopkeeper first looked at Qiao Ruyi's bearing and knew that she was eighty percent good, thinking that these days those scholars have prepared for the exam, there are very few scholars who come to copy books, thinking of this, the shopkeeper decided to let Qiao Ruyi try it first. He took out pen and ink, laid out the paper again, and said to Qiao Ruyi:
Well, since the girl is so confident, then the girl should give it a try-
Qiao Ruyi first sharpened the mill slightly, then took the brush and dipped the tip of the pen slightly in ink, and wrote it on the paper. Qiao Ruyi's arm used full strength, and one by one the small and handsome Xiaokai were written on the paper.
When the old gentleman saw Qiao Ruyi's word, he couldn't help but praise it on the side, okay, and then said:
The girl's hand is really handsome, good, very good.
Then can I copy the book for your bookstore, Qiao Ru praised her as the shopkeeper, and she was happy in her heart, but she didn't forget to get down to business.
Absolutely, absolutely
The shopkeeper said with a smile, and then took out a three-character scripture from under the counter and handed it to Qiao Ruyi, and said: My surname is Chen, just call me the shopkeeper Chen in the future.
My name is Ruyi, and this is my sister Ruxin-
Qiao Ruyi was also busy introducing himself.
Okay, Ruyi girl, this is pen and paper, you take it back and use it, this book, it's relatively simple, can you copy it in three days-
On the third day, Qiao Ruyi silently recited it in her heart, although the time was a little tight, but she could only boil the lamp oil at night and it would come out, thinking of this, Qiao Ruyi said:
Chen's shopkeeper, there is no problem.
Ha ha. When the shopkeeper Chen heard this, he touched his beard with his hand and said, since this is the case, then Ruyi girl, you will bring the copied book in three days, I will take a look, if the copy is good, we can continue to talk.
Shopkeeper Chen is cautious, Qiao Ruyi is a girl's family, and a stranger, although he wrote a few words just now, he can't help but look at the effect of copying a book.
Qiao Ruyi naturally had no objection, and nodded in response.
The shopkeeper Chen then said: This three-character scripture is not a lot of words, and the book is not thick.
Shopkeeper Chen, you have the final say, I'll listen to you-
Qiao Ru said that the price was right and in line with her expectations.
Okay, Shopkeeper Chen thought in his heart, this is a cheerful person, he likes to deal with this kind of person very much, so he then told Qiao Ruyi about some things to pay attention to, Qiao Ruyi nodded again and again-
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Qiao Ruyi said goodbye to Shopkeeper Chen and came out with Qiao Ruxin.
Qiao Ruyi had a book in her arms, as well as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Qiao Ruxin also had embroidery work in her hand that had just been taken out of the show, and the two of them could say that they had gained a lot.
Qiao Ruyi smiled and said to Qiao Ruxin:
Nina let's go back -
Uh-huh, sister-
Qiao Ruxin nodded, and the two walked in the direction of Lu Mansion.
When the two arrived at the Lu Mansion, Qiao Ruxin took out the silver in his arms and handed it to Qiao Ruyi, Qiao Ruyi looked at it and said to Qiao Ruxin with a smile:
Ruxin, this silver is in exchange for your embroidery work, you can take it yourself, you don't have to give it to your sister
Sister, you take it, I don't know where to put the silver, besides, sister, isn't my silver your silver, besides, I'm still a child, where to put the silver, naturally it's up to you to collect it-
Qiao Ruxin was a little helpless, in the past, they earned the silver, Qiao Ruyi took the initiative to put it away, now Qiao Ruyi doesn't want the silver, let her keep it herself, although she was quite excited along the way, but when she returned home, she felt that she gave the silver to Qiao Ruyi, after all, she was still a child, in her thoughts, she naturally thought that adults were going to put away the silver-
Qiao Ruxin said this, so she also nodded and said:
Okay, sister will put it away for you, but this silver is Ruxin, and it will be given to Ruxin in the future-
Sister, what are you doing with me, what yours and mine, I think it is all of us, and all the money we earn in the future will be put together. Sister, do you say it's good like this-
Qiao Ruxin was busy begging Qiao Ruyi, Qiao Ruxin intuitively felt that Qiao Ruyi just said that she would collect the money for her and return it to her in the future, which made her feel a little panicked, as if Qiao Ruyi was going to leave her.
Qiao Ruyi actually wants to exercise Qiao Ruxin's independent ability, these days, Qiao Ruyi found that Qiao Ruxin is too dependent on her, thinking that in the future, Qiao Ruxin must have lived a long time by herself, so she thought about exercising her independence from now on, but seeing Qiao Ruxin so nervous, Qiao Ruyi also smiled and put away the silver, and said silently in her heart:
