Guan Jiaze was surprised, frowned, and opened the book, intending to read a few lines. If it's really good, ask the kid to give him the remaining two volumes.

But as soon as the book was opened, he raised his head and looked at Du Jinning in surprise: "What did you say?" This book ......," he said, raising the book in his hand, "you wrote it yourself?" ”

Du Jinning nodded, with a little shyness in his smile: "Last time, I was afraid that those shopkeepers didn't want my script, so I said that it was written by my uncle and grandfather." ”

This time, Guan Jiaze was really surprised.

He looked Du Jinning up and down a few times and asked her, "How old are you?" ”

"Ten years old." Du Jinning said.

In ancient times, it was all about the virtual age, that is, the ten months in the mother's womb were counted. According to modern calculations, she is now only nine years old.

Du Jinning is thin and small, even younger than her age, the "ten years old" she reported did not surprise Guan Jiaze, but these two words touched him, he recalled what he was doing when he was ten years old, it seemed that he was learning three hundred thousand and practicing words every day, and then looked at the thin little child in front of him, he was silent.

Du Jinning came today for a purpose. When she saw Guan Jiaze's expression, she hurriedly said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Zhang Hongwen from your academy, he is from our village." I didn't know him the last time I sold books, but when I met him at someone else's house, I realized that he was in the same village as me. ”

"Zhang Hongwen?" Guan Jiaze searched for the name in his mind, and he was vaguely impressed.

However, the child in front of him could write a script, and although this surprised him, it was not enough to make him very concerned. Whether this is true or not has nothing to do with him.

He waved the book in his hand: "How much is this book?" ”

For the sake of this little child, who can write a book at a young age, he doesn't care if the book is worth two taels of silver.

Seeing that he didn't ask more about herself, and didn't seem to be interested in herself, Du Jinning didn't frustrate, and still said very calmly: "One or two or five dollars of silver." ”

Guan Jiaze raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Don't sell two taels of silver?" ”

Du Jinning shook his head: "This book is three volumes, if you buy the first volume, you will inevitably buy the second and third volumes." Three volumes together for four taels and five dollars of silver, which can be regarded as giving you a preferential price. Others have to buy more things cheaper, right? ”

Guan Jiaze was a little more excited about Du Jinning, and said with a smile: "You kid, it's a bit interesting, you can settle accounts at a young age." ”

He took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, handed it to Du Jinning, and said, "Okay, you write the next volume, remember to bring it to me." With that, he entered the academy.

Du Jinning took the piece of silver in his hand, which was almost two taels, looked at the back that disappeared at the side door, smiled, turned around and went down the slope step by step, and left the academy.

After finally coming to the county once, she naturally wouldn't go home so soon. After finding a random road, she began to walk around the county seat.

This county town is even larger than her likeness, but it is similar to the big county of later generations, from east to west and from south to north there is a bustling street, and most of the shops in the city are on these two streets.

She spent most of the hour walking through these two streets, and found that in addition to the original bookstores called Shuxiang Pavilion and Boya Pavilion, there were three other bookstores on the other street, two of which were about the same size as Shuxiang Pavilion; The other one is much larger than all four, called Ruyu Zhai, and the name of the store probably comes from the phrase "the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu".

Du Jinning entered Ruyuzhai. The second child in this shop is not as snobbish as the second child in the Scholar Pavilion, and there is no obstruction, but she secretly "cares" after she enters, for fear that she will steal books or steal other guests' silver.

It is common to be well-dressed, and Du Jinning didn't bother to pay attention to these people, so he looked around the room, then pointed to a book and said to the shopkeeper on the counter: "I'm tired, show me the book "Hairpin Flowers". ”

Xiao Er and the shopkeeper were surprised that she could read and write, and put down the heart she was carrying, and the shopkeeper took the book and handed it to her.

Du Jinning flipped through it, handed the book back, and shook his head: "Thank you." ”

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows again.

To be honest, this ancient is not like modern times, when everyone is young, everyone is required to pay attention to civility and politeness, and the words "please, thank you, you're welcome, sorry" are always on the lips, and they have become a language habit.

Among the ancient people, those who had a scholar at home and had a better upbringing might pay attention to this and teach their children; More people running around all day long to make ends meet, it's good to be able to talk without foul language, what is civility and politeness? Can it be eaten as a meal?

So when he met Du Jinning who was so polite and literate, the shopkeeper's impression of her changed greatly, and he said with a smile: "This book is the best sold in our store, don't you sell it back and take a look?" ”

"It's not pretty." Du Jinning said.

The shopkeeper didn't argue with her, and put the book back away.

This "Hairpin Story" tells the story of a talented and beautiful woman, and the child in front of him looks like he is eight or nine years old, and it is normal to be not interested in this kind of affection.

The books in this bookstore are all clearly priced, which also saves Du Jinning from asking the price. She walked around the bookstore, but didn't find any books of interest, and finally pointed to a stack of papers and said, "This is half a knife." ”

The paper in this shop is also divided into several grades, some are snow-white and of good quality, and some are yellow, rough and cheap. Du Jinning chose a middle-lower price. In addition, she asked for two brushes and two ink strips.

She is used to good things in modern times, and she can't look down on those that are really bad, and the latter two are also lower in the middle. But after such a calculation, she still spent five cents of silver at once.

It seems that reading books is really expensive.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er didn't blink their eyes when they saw her paying, and they shouted in their hearts that they were gone. They really didn't expect that such a yellow-skinned boy wearing patches and patches of coarse cloth would be able to spend so much money to buy paper and pens.

"And the inkstone, do you want it? We'll sell it to you cheaper. Xiao Er asked diligently.

Du Jinning shook his head: "The inkstone is there, you don't need to buy it." As she spoke, she picked up the things that Xiao Er had wrapped for her and walked away.

"I don't know which little boy it is." Xiao Er smiled and gossiped to the shopkeeper, "I really can't see it at all." ”

"Although this child is dressed in tatters, his demeanor is calm, measured, and polite, and he is not from an ordinary family." The shopkeeper shook his head and said, and taught Xiao Er, "You can't look at people on the surface." ”

Primary two means teachable.

Du Jinning came out, found a secluded alley, took off the thin cotton jacket outside, tied half a knife paper around his body, and then put the cotton jacket on. The brush and ink strips are carried in his arms.
