Jiang Yan was pulled to the back door by Bi Jin, she was not interested in the hairpin handkerchief on the merchant's shoulder, she had already made a big girl, the quality of the shares issued in the house was much better than these, and Baoyu would bring them some gadgets from time to time, and I don't know why Bi Jin was so excited.

Watching Bi Jin walk towards the merchant who was surrounded by the little maids, Jiang Yan stretched out her hand to summon a janitor, she simply bought some pastries and went back. Although the inside of the house is delicious, it is not as varied as the outside.

As soon as she moved, the busy merchant looked up and saw her, and hurriedly greeted her after a pause: "Girl, come and see, I have the latest style in the city, if you like me, count you cheaper." ”

The little guy who helped her buy pastries hasn't come back yet, Jiang Yan is also idle, and seeing that the little maids over there are almost scattered, she walked over to take a look.

Bi Jin was still there hesitating with two hairpins, and when she saw her coming, she immediately asked her to help pick it, Jiang Yan took it and took a look, this merchant's things are really good, although the materials are ordinary, and the workmanship style is considered to be first-class, no wonder Bi Jin hesitated for so long. She thought that the jasper peach blossom was good, and it matched the name of the jasper, so she suggested that she buy it.

went over there again, and when the merchant saw her coming, he smiled and whispered to her, "Do you remember me, girl?" You helped me once last year, and I haven't had time to thank you yet. ”

Jiang Yan was confused by his words, why didn't she remember when she helped a merchant, she didn't go out a few times in total last year, and she was in a hurry every time, so she helped someone in the clan study. She looked up and looked at it carefully for a long time, but finally gave up, she really didn't remember the person in front of her.

When the merchant saw her expression, he knew that she didn't remember, but he didn't care, a few months have passed, he looks ordinary, and it's normal for people not to remember him. If it weren't for the fact that this little girl had bought his fur lavishly before, and left an impression on him, he might have forgotten what the person who helped him looked like.

"At the door of the old lady of Layue Jia last year, I fainted on the ground, you helped me call someone, do you remember?"

He said that Jiang Yan knew this, and she said that her memory was not so bad, and she didn't remember anyone she had helped, but how could this person change his appearance at one time, the first time he wore a robe and looked like a scholar, the second time he made him look like a homeless man, and the third time he became a merchant.

Although she was curious, she didn't ask directly without eyes, maybe people were in the middle of the road, wouldn't it be a sad place. She smiled and said, "I remember, it's not worth anything, what to say thank you or not." But I didn't recognize anyone for a while, so don't be surprised. ”

"Where is it, in Xia Wu Wenyuan, I don't know what the girl is called?"

"My surname is Jiang, and the second master of Debao gave me the name Danyu."

Wu Wenyuan said with a smile: "It turns out that the girl is a person in Bao Erye's house, and I and Bao Er Ye are also classmates. ”

This Jiang Yan naturally couldn't agree, not to mention that she didn't help at all, just said that he didn't read anymore, and she couldn't take advantage of this as a merchant to support his family. Jiang Yan excused herself: "No need, I came with someone, and I don't want to buy anything." You see, if it hadn't been for your greeting, I wouldn't have been ready to come here. ”

Wu Wenyuan saw that Jiang Yan insisted on not accepting it, and no longer insisted, but said: "If you have anything you want to buy in the future, you can let Mother Wang tell me that I am familiar with all the places in this city, and it is still okay to run errands." ”

Jiang Yan nodded, and promised to come down first, it was not up to her to do it or not.

Bi Jin, who finally decided which one to buy, saw that they were finished, and quietly bit her ear with Jiang Yan: "You know each other?" ”

Jiang Yan ran out secretly that time, how could she elaborate, lowered her voice and said perfunctorily: "One side, you pay quickly, it's been a long time since I came out." ”

At this time, the little guy who helped Jiang Yan run errands also came back with snacks, Jiang Yan took the things and said goodbye to Wu Wenyuan, and went back to Jiangyunxuan with Bichen.

On the way, Bijin chattered and asked, "That merchant said that he and Baoyu are classmates, is it true?" ”

Jiang Yan knew it was true, but she couldn't say it, she had no reason to know this, so she said: "How do I know, I said that I only met once, but he doesn't need to lie to me." ”

"That's right," said hesitantly, "but why did he go to work as a merchant again?" ”

Jiang Yan still wanted to know, and Bi Jin guessed: "Could it be that something has happened to the family and there is no money to study?" Saying that, he denied it: "It's impossible, he doesn't need money to study in the clan studies." ”

This Jiang Yan disagreed, "How is it impossible? Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, these don't cost money? ”

Bi Jin is also illiterate, Baoyu's things are directly received from the public, she has no idea about these expenses, she hesitated: "Are these very expensive?" ”

The two discussed this issue all the way, and Bi Jin finally forgot about Wu Wenyuan, and only congratulated himself that he didn't learn to write, saving a lot of money.

After Baoyu finished reading the book in the evening, Jiang Yan went over to pack up the books, and Bi Jin came over to pick up a book and flipped through it, "Just such a book, it actually costs hundreds of texts." ”

Jiang Yan glanced at it, "The one you took is a unique book specially collected by Baoyu, and you can't buy it for a few hundred yuan." ”

"How much is that?"

"How do I know this, anyway, a few hundred texts can't buy a single book."

Bi Jin took the book out and said to Qiuwen Tanyun and the others: "You all come and guess, how much silver is this book?" ”

The big girls in the Baoyu House don't worry about food and clothing, they don't use much money on weekdays, and they have no concept of prices.

The attacker Qingwen was serving Baoyu, who was grooming and changing clothes, heard the excitement outside, cleaned himself up in three or two, and hurriedly walked out, saw the book in Bijin's hand, shook his head and sighed: "You really don't know the goods, this is the Zhaolin Zhai hand-copied collection that I worked so hard to find, how can it be bought for a few taels of silver." ”

"How much silver does that cost? Which of us is closer? "The maids are not interested in books, and it is more important who wins.

Baoyu thought for a while, "This is what I took a jade plate to exchange with someone, that jade plate is Lantian jade, and it's no problem to change it for twenty or thirty taels." ”

The maids are staggered, this is too expensive, it is worth two years of their monthly silver.

muttered, "No wonder he can't read." ”

When Baoyu heard this, she couldn't help asking, "Who can't read?" "Bichen is the son of a family, and there should be no one who studies among the people I know.

"Second master, is there a person named Wu Wenyuan in your ethnology? He's a merchant now, and he's still selling things at the back door of our house today. ”
