Chapter 48: Master and Servant of the Ming Family
Chang Shuang entered the store and saw that there were only two people in the store, a half-hundred-year-old man with a sparse beard, who was persuading a son of about twenty.
Childe's appearance is delicate, his lips are red and his teeth are white, which makes people happy, and at this moment his angry face has a touch of ruddy, more like a delicate flower, attracting people's eyes.
Good fellow, she looks more beautiful than a girl! Isn't this son the young master of the Ming family?
"Alas, young master!" The old shopkeeper said bitterly, "Few people know how to appreciate things like literature, and in this small county, we don't talk about those elegant things now, we just want to sell a book, a piece of paper, a pen and an inkstone, and make some money to live." Don't ask others to understand the family, just seek peace and plainness. ”
Another good guy, or this old shopkeeper is sensible and forward-looking, and he is concerned about making money, maybe he will be a partner in the future. Chang Shuang thought.
As soon as the Ming family was mentioned, the young master was angry again: "Other people are talking nonsense, obviously we refuse to allow guests to visit, and we are being spread by those snobs outside, reversing black and white, it's really ......"
"Okay, young master, how can we stop other people's mouths, that's okay, let's be pure, aren't we?"
"Humph!"
The young master was furious, flicked his sleeves and turned around, seeing Chang Shuang who was entering the store. He paused slightly, and quickly turned his face away and entered the inner room.
When the old shopkeeper saw that a guest was coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Little girl, what do you want to see?" ”
Chang Shuang was in a hurry, so she didn't read it, and asked directly: "Shopkeeper, I want a book on the laws of my country, as well as a book for enlightenment, two are good, how much?" ”
These two kinds of books must be available in bookstores, and she hopes that they are not too expensive, and the money on her is not easy to make.
"Hehe, is the little girl showing her younger brother at home? There are these two books, but some of them are old, so I'll give you a cheaper, a book of fifteen texts, thirty texts together, do girls still need pen and paper? ”
The shopkeeper went to find a book for the guest as he spoke.
Chang Shuang immediately took out the money, "Thank you shopkeeper, I won't buy pen and paper for the time being, and I'll buy it when we learn to read." The book wasn't bought for my brother, it was for my sister and me. ”
Chang Shuang said, and the shopkeeper also came over with the book, and she just happened to pay.
When the shopkeeper heard Chang Shuang say this, it was inevitable that he would be surprised, "The girl is studious, it's really rare, and the girl's family can read and write, which is also good." ”
The shopkeeper had a kind smile on his face and sent Chang Shuang out.
After the guests arrived, the young master who had just been annoyed came out of the inner room.
"Uncle Xiao, was the girl buying a book for herself just now?"
"Yes. I think she's a clever girl, and she'll be a good one in the future. ”
"If you only know a few words, you can't really learn, you can't cultivate knowledge, and you can't marry anywhere."
Listening to the master's depressing words, Uncle Xiao was helpless, but he still patiently taught, "People just want to learn to run a family." The young master has worked hard today, let's go back and rest first, and call an inkstone. ”
Chang Shuang went to buy meat buns again, bought ten, there are many family members, and one person eating one is not enough to stuff his teeth. Chang Shuang also bought a few catties of meat, which was a thank you gift to thank you.
After buying what should have been bought, Chang Shuang went straight to the village.
When Chang Shuang returned home, she was also tired and panting, and when she passed through the village, she didn't know how to deal with a few people who came up to inquire, asking her what she had bought and where she got the money. Chang Shuang saw that the people in the village didn't mention the affairs of the family, and she was relieved, that is, it was fine.
"Sister, you're back! Are you okay? Chang Jing had been watching in the house and saw her sister running worriedly.
