Chapter 23 Helping Each Other

PS: A new week is coming, continue to ask for collections and recommend tickets! Thank you for the slight cold smile and the reward of the ink washing dust, Mo Da~

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

Although she has no concept of the prices of this era, it is her good habit to ask if she doesn't understand. In the past few days, she has also inquired about the price of goods from Du Fangfei, Du Yinsheng and the princess next door, and knows that the price of rice here is one tael of silver to buy two stone of rice, and one stone of rice is one hundred and twenty catties, one catty in ancient times, which is equivalent to one catty and six taels in modern times, so that one tael of silver is equivalent to about five hundred yuan in modern times.

And one tael of silver is a thousand yuan, and the shopkeeper of this scholarly pavilion gave her two hundred yuan, which is equivalent to one hundred yuan in modern times. 100 yuan to buy out a novel of about 4,000 words, which is the price of cabbage in the modern online literature industry with rich mass production, not to mention the ancient times when text resources were scarce. A copy of the "Three Character Classic" will cost 200 yuan, and "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text" and other books are even more expensive, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are also very expensive, and the cost of reading and reading is extremely high. I want to buy her script with one or two hundred words, but this shopkeeper has a good dream during the day, but he just deceived them into wearing tattered clothes and having no knowledge.

Du Jinning has had a "dream" since she was sick once, and she has a very good idea, and in the past few days, the Chen family no longer treats her as a child, but as the backbone of the family. At this time, seeing that she didn't even give her an eye, she went out directly, and the shopkeeper directly added another 100 Wen, and she realized that the price of this script may be far more than 200 Wen. She hurriedly followed Du Jinning and walked to the opposite side together.

"Hey, our shopkeeper called you, didn't you hear it, little brother? Two hundred yuan, our shopkeeper has added one hundred yuan to you. If you are not satisfied, you can discuss it again, why go in such a hurry? If the other side doesn't let you in, and you want to turn back, our shopkeeper may not be able to give this price if he is in a bad mood. Xiao Er got the hint from the shopkeeper and hurriedly chased after him, wanting to go to Du Jinning's hand.

He ushered in the people he sent every day, and he was very eye-catching, and he also knew that the mother and son were in charge, and Du Jinning was in charge, and men and women were not kissed, so he only dared to go to Du Jinning.

But he didn't want Du Jinning to be a man on the surface, but the core was a woman, Chen felt guilty about this daughter, and had always been very concerned about her reputation. At this time, seeing that Xiao Er actually went to Ladu Jinning, her face changed greatly, and she shouted: "What are you going to do?" Rushed forward and pushed Xiao Er away. Xiao Er was unprepared, stumbled a little, and almost didn't fall.

Xiao Er already looked down on this mother and son, but when he saw that Chen dared to push him, he was furious, pointed at Chen and scolded: "What are you doing? Is this city a place for you to go wild? Dare to hit people......" He turned his head and looked around, as if he didn't find the person he was looking for, beckoned to a small child standing on the street watching the excitement, and said to him, "You go, find the official Brother Liu, and say that someone is beating people here." ”

Chen's face changed suddenly.

The most feared thing for countrymen is to get into a lawsuit. The people in this city are related to each other, and once they get into a lawsuit, the countrymen will definitely suffer. And when the news spread to the village, the family's reputation was ruined. What's more, their situation is still special, Du Chensheng and the Niu family must know that they don't work and run to the county, and they get into trouble, then they will really die miserably.

"Heh......" Du Jinning took a step forward, stopped in front of Chen, and sneered at Xiao Er, "What's the matter?" If you can't buy and sell, you want to rob it? My uncle and grandfather have difficulty walking, so they asked me to sell the book he wrote. ”

They were now standing in the middle of the road, with many people coming and going, and the bookstore on the opposite side was very close. She shouted this very loudly, not only the people on the road, but also the customers and shopkeepers in the bookstore heard this, and everyone looked towards this side curiously.

"Where is a hundred dollars, obviously my shopkeeper has come out with two hundred yuan......" Xiao Er subconsciously wanted to refute, but as soon as he said this, he secretly screamed that it was not good, turned his head, and sure enough, he saw his shopkeeper standing behind him with a gloomy face.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was about to explain a few sentences, when he heard a fat old man in his fifties come out from the opposite side, and said with a smile: "I want to buy a script for one or two hundred dollars, and if people don't sell it, they want to use official errands to scare people?" You scholars do things, and you are really cheating, abducting and deceiving everything. No wonder people are afraid to go to your store to buy something. ”

"You...... You talk nonsense. The shopkeeper of the Scholar Pavilion blushed suddenly, and said angrily, "Zhang Rishan, you have robbed me of a lot of business by improper means, I haven't said anything about you, you poured blood and spewed people, and beat a rake!" The words brought by this little brother are not many, and the story is average, I think he is pitiful, and it is very fair to give him a purchase price of 200 yuan. How is it that when it comes to your mouth, it completely changes its taste? Sure enough, there is a ghost in my heart, and everything I look at is a ghost. ”

Du Jinning saw that the two old men were quarreling, and it seemed that they had a deep grudge, and the quarrel was probably endless. She hurriedly said before Zhang Rishan, the fat old man of Boyage, spoke: "What words are not many, and the story is average, I will show the script to this shopkeeper and see what he says." As she spoke, she took out the six pages of paper, stuffed them into Zhang Rishan's hand, and confidently said to him who was a little stunned, "This story, I haven't seen anything bad about it, except for this shopkeeper ......" She raised her chin and gestured to the thin shopkeeper of the Shuxiang Pavilion.

Zhang Rishan's brows furrowed, although he didn't throw away the papers, he didn't look at them, let them stay in his hands, and sneered and said to the thin shopkeeper Wang Yao: "No matter how good you are, you can't change the fact that you have lost your credibility and caused the door to be crowded." Whoever has a ghost in his heart, this is a clear thing. ”

Seeing that Zhang Rishan was only arguing and didn't look at the script in his hand, Du Jinning's brows furrowed. Obviously, Zhang Rishan didn't take her and this talk seriously.

She was about to reach out to get the notebook back, when a man with slender knuckles suddenly stretched out his hand next to her and took the pieces of paper: "I'll look at the notebook." ”

Du Jinning was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a familiar face. Standing beside her, the tall and thin young man wearing a stone blue robe, wasn't it Zhang Hongwen? Isn't he going back to the academy for classes? How did you end up here?

Seeing the notebook in his hand, Du Jinning was shocked, and turned his head to look at Chen. Chen's face was also full of shock and sluggishness, and then his face showed a panicked look, and he looked at Du Jinning as if asking for help.

Du Jinning gave her a reassuring look, turned around, and saw that Zhang Hongwen was seriously looking down at the script, and had no intention of greeting her, she blinked, opened her mouth to say hello and swallowed it back, and stood silently waiting.
