************

Chen took out a piece of corn tortilla from his arms, shared it with Du Jinning, and went to the house next to him to ask for two bowls of water to drink, and then slowly entered the city.

This county town seems to be quite small, and the city gate is also quite magnificent. When entering the city gate, Du Jinning saw two big traditional characters "Lishui" written on the city wall, and knew that this place was called Lishui County.

Chen said: "Your father told me before that the continent where this county seat is located directly divides a river into two halves, which has the effect of separating the waters, so it is called leaving the water. Some people felt that the word 'leave' was unlucky, so they added a water next to it and it became Lishui. ”

Du Jinning nodded, looking at the rows of shops on both sides, as well as the intersections leading to various streets, he felt very curious about the ancient streets and the things sold.

But this is not the time to go shopping, you have to get down to business first. She asked Chan, "Where is the biggest bookstore in town?" ”

Chen looked around, looking extremely dazed: "I haven't been to the county seat for more than ten years, and it's become more lively here, there are houses everywhere, and I don't know the road anymore." ”

"It's okay, just walk down the biggest street and see a bookstore in." Du Jinning was very calm.

In modern times, first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which are hundreds of times larger than this, can run around the streets and alleys at will, what is this kind of small county. It crisscrosses up to a few streets, and you can walk around it for half an hour to visit all the streets.

Chen didn't have much idea either, and followed Du Jinning forward.

"Third aunt, is it the third aunt of the Du family?" Not far away, a Qingyue voice suddenly came.

Du Jinning and Chen turned their heads to look, and saw a young man of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a stone blue muslin gown, with clear eyebrows, looking at them hesitantly.

When Chen saw him, his face immediately turned happy, and he pulled Du Jinning forward and said, "You are Brother Wen of the Lizheng family, right?" Why are you here? Suddenly, "By the way, you are studying in the county." He pulled Ladu Jinning again, "Call someone." ”

"Brother Hongwen." Du Jinning smiled at the young man.

She learned from her memory that this was the son of Du Yunchang's uncle and the grandson of the Li Zheng family, Zhang Hongwen. The Du family and the Zhang family, one lives in the east of the village and the other lives in the west of the village, and the two families do not often meet. However, because of this in-law relationship, there is movement during the New Year's holidays, and Du Jinning has also seen this Zhang Hongwen several times. Once Du Jinning went home alone and was chased and beaten by Du Jinshou on the road, but Zhang Hongwen rescued her. The original owner's impression of Zhang Hongwen was very good.

Zhang Hongwen looked at the two: "Where are you going?" ”

Chen hesitated, looked at Du Jinning, and did not speak.

Zhang Hongwen studied here, and he must know where the bookstore is. And if he had gone with him, they would have been able to sell the script. But the origin of this script is not easy to explain, she doesn't know if Du Jin would rather let Zhang Hongwen know about her writing script.

Du Jinning had already spoken first: "Didn't my grandfather knock me out a few days ago? I've been ringing in my ears these days, and I can't hear it clearly when I speak quietly, so my mother wants to take me to the county to see Langzhong. ”

Saying that, she looked up at Zhang Hongwen, who was a head taller than her, pitifully: "Brother Hongwen, can you not tell me about meeting us today?" My grandmother knew that my mother didn't work and brought me to the county to scold people. My mother also went to help others carry the wood for a few days before changing a few pennies because of me, and my grandmother didn't know how to make trouble when she found out. ”

"Don't worry, I won't say it." Zhang Hongwen hurriedly assured.

He hesitated for a moment and said to Chen, "Auntie, why don't I accompany you to see a doctor." I am familiar with this county, and I also know some of the famous Yaotang and Langzhong. ”

If they really brought Du Jinning to see a doctor, the Chen family naturally wanted Zhang Hongwen to lead them. But Du Jinning said that just now, indicating that he didn't want Zhang Hongwen to know what they were doing, so he hurriedly shirked and said, "No, no, you are busy, I dare not delay you." ”

Du Jinning also nodded and said: "We also know the place, we have asked someone just now, don't bother Brother Hongwen." ”

Zhang Hongwen saw that both of his mother and son shirked, and he himself was in a hurry, so he no longer insisted, reached into his arms and took out a handful of copper coins, and did not count them, and directly stuffed them to Du Jinning: "Come, you take the money." I haven't been home for the past two days, and I don't have much money with me, so you see, if it's not enough, go to Boyue College to find me. As he spoke, he pointed, "Over there." ”

"No, no, no." Chen grabbed the copper plate and stuffed it back into Zhang Hongwen's hand, "If you want to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, you have to eat, you have to use money everywhere, how can you do it without money?" I brought Brother Ning'er's money for medical treatment, and I don't need yours. ”

Zhang Hongwen still had to give it again, but Chen didn't want to live or die, so he had to give up, and advised: "If you don't have enough money, you must come to the academy to find me." I still have classmates, even if I don't have money, it doesn't hurt to borrow a few meals from them, no matter how bad it is, I can go home and get it, my aunt don't delay Brother Ning's medical treatment because of these dozens of dollars. ”

Chen was very moved, nodded and said, "Okay, my aunt knows." ”

waved her hand, pulled Du Jinning forward, and when she turned the corner and couldn't see Zhang Hongwen, she said guiltily: "It's really not good for us to deceive people like this." He looked at Du Jinning again, with scrutiny in his eyes, "Brother Ning, why did you remember to lie to you Brother Hongwen just now?" ”

"Who knows if he's tight-mouthed? When he knew about our booklets, he would definitely not tell his grandfather and grandmother, but he would definitely tell his fourth uncle, fourth aunt and uncle. When the time comes, how do you explain it? If a little wind reaches the ears of grandparents and grandparents, it is certain that there will be another big storm. Du Jinning said lightly.

She knew that the Chen family cared about the child and was afraid that she would go the wrong way. But her soul is already an adult, and because of her reading and experience, she is more mature than Chen. She really didn't need to be taught how to behave.

Chen was speechless by her, so he had to say, "Mother knows, she knows ......" and stopped saying anything.

The two of them walked and watched, and finally saw the bookstore on the side of the street, and there were two of them at once. These two shops are also quite interesting, with a road in between, if not a shop apart, they are face to face, door to door.

"Which one to go to?" Chen asked, looking at the bookstore.

Du Jinning took a look and saw that the bookstore called Shuxiang Pavilion near her was smaller, the shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter reading books, and Xiao Er was standing listlessly at the door, except for the books placed on the shelves, there were no customers inside. On the other side, the bookstore is called Boya Pavilion, the area is relatively large, the decoration is better, there are scholars in long robes in and out, but the business is much better than that of the Scholar Pavilion.

"This one." Du Jinning walked towards the Scholarly Pavilion.
