After taking the things and paying half of the money, the uncle and nephew left the porcelain shop and set off for home.

"Yue'er, where do you still want to go?" Yao Shun asked.

Yao Xinyue thought for a while: "My mother asked me to buy some paper and ink, Chengcheng and Tongtong have already enlightened, and my mother said that she wants them to learn to write more." "In the past, the family couldn't afford to buy so much paper, so they could only use it back and forth, and sometimes let them write directly on the ground.

To say that in this family, the only thing that will not be questioned by everyone is reading and writing, as long as it is related to these, no one in the Yao family has ever said a word.

The two went straight to the bookstore, and Yao Xinyue was still very curious about this ancient bookstore.

Unlike other philistines, the entrance of the bookstore is always quiet.

Entering the shop, there was a smell of paper and ink, and there were all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and a guy sat behind the counter, carefully flipping through the books in his hands.

Hearing the movement, the guy raised his head, and his first reaction was not to greet them, but to carefully put the books in his hand away, and then walked out of the counter and saluted the two: "Two guest officers, what do you want to buy?" ”

"It's a matter of two pieces of paper." Yao Xinyue said.

It's just that this paper is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the guy asked directly: "May I ask what kind of girl wants, the general paper is forty wen a knife, and the ordinary one is enough for writing or something, and the slightly better ones are sixty and eighty, and the best paper is two hundred wen a knife." ”

Because it is for Yao Xincheng and Yao Jingtong to practice calligraphy, naturally there is no need to buy it so good, forty wen a knife, one knife is a blank sheet, and it is almost enough to buy two knives for a while.

After spending eighty yuan to buy two dollars, and when he paid the money and was about to leave, Yao Xinyue saw a set of four treasures of the study room on the shelves behind the counter.

She suddenly thought that when she helped Yao Jingxun clean up the house today, she found that his set of four treasures in the study room had been seriously worn, but he still used it again, and it was not difficult to see how carefully the master took care of it on weekdays, otherwise, it would have been impossible to use it like him for a long time.

"How much does this cost?" Yao Xinyue asked, pointing to the things on the shelves.

The guy looked at her hand, paused for a moment and then smiled: "Girl, that set of four treasures in the study room is a new product in our store, well, it's a bit expensive." The guy said cautiously, it's not that he looks down on Yao Xinyue and them, it's just that this thing is really expensive, Yao Xinyue and their dress doesn't look like a rich family, and they are afraid that they can't afford to buy such four treasures of the study.

Yao Xinyue frowned slightly, is it expensive?

"How much?" No matter how much it is, you have to ask first.

Seeing her ask again, the guy didn't want to say more, and replied directly: "Girl, the four treasures of that study room are one hundred and twenty taels." After speaking, she was afraid that the price would scare Yao Xinyue, so she immediately followed: "But if the girl wants to buy a set of four treasures for her family, you can take a look at these two, the price is moderate, and it is easy to use." ”

The guy said, and took out two sets from behind the counter, but with just one glance at Yao Xinyue, he could see the difference from the shelves, but one hundred and twenty taels was really expensive for them now.

"This set is the most common, and it is also the most sold now, a set of four taels of silver, this is slightly more expensive, six taels, and it is also a good inkstone."
