The three of them walked all the way forward, and after Liu Man'er had money, she was not stingy, she bought a slingshot for Liu Fusheng, two silk flowers for Ye He, and a hairpin for Fang's family.

Of course, this hairpin is neither gold nor silver, but it is just an ordinary copper hairpin, but because it is quite exquisite, it costs Liu Man'er five cents.

It was just because she couldn't see it, after all, the Fang clan had always used a hairpin made of firewood to fix her hair.

After buying these, there were still ten cents left, Liu Man'er went to the bookstore to buy some paper, she didn't forget, there is a reader at home, remember that Ye Feng has always practiced calligraphy on kraft paper, I heard that if you buy some good paper, you will be more upright when you practice calligraphy, so that the words will be more beautiful.

It's just that this scholar's things are too expensive, but it is the most ordinary brush, which costs five cents, and the price is equivalent to a pound of pork.

And the paper, smooth white paper, with a fragrance, delicate texture, no worse than the paper in the previous life, Liu Man'er really likes to tighten it, but just that one, it costs a penny, she touched the copper plate in her pocket, and she could only sigh.

In the end, the other paper willow vines didn't look at it anymore, because she really couldn't stand the white eyes of this little er, and when she reached out to touch the paper, she hadn't spoken yet, and this little two had already spoken:

"This is only a penny, if it is dirty, but it will be compensated according to the price."

Despite the attitude of the angry shopkeeper, Liu Man'er retracted her hand very spinelessly, where did she dare to touch it, a penny a penny!

The two children also tightened the hand they originally intended to stretch out, and even involuntarily grabbed the corner of Liu Man'er's clothes, looking a little inferior.

"Hey, it's okay, we don't have money to buy it today, and we can always buy it tomorrow." Liu Man'er thought about it and walked towards the pile of rough white paper in the corners outside the door.

I just wanted to ask the price, but I heard the shopkeeper nodding and greeting another person who walked in from outside the door, "Yo, this son is a learned person at first glance, and he wants to buy something, just look." ”

As he spoke, he said to Liu Man'er and the three of them, "You three give way, don't get in the way of our guests." ”

"Am I not a guest?"

Now Liu Man'er is really a little angry.

In fact, if she is alone, she can endure anything, but she has two children by her side, she can't make Liu Fusheng and Ye He feel inferior.

The shopkeeper's expression was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Liu Man'er to talk back, he was much more visible to a poor and sour person like her, in his eyes, being able to let her in was already a great gift.

"You're a guest? Do you have the money to buy things? The shopkeeper laughed and said a little bit.

"Do people who come into your store have to buy something?" Liu Man'er straightened up and said, "If it doesn't suit other people's wishes, do you have to buy it?" If that's the case, then you should put up a sign at the door: Anyone who enters our store must buy something! If you had said that, I wouldn't have come in, and I'd have soiled my shoes. ”

"No, we don't distinguish between high and low in our shop, but only learned people are welcome." Seeing that Liu Man'er was going to quarrel with the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper who had been hiding at the counter to settle accounts walked out, he was wearing the Eight Immortals, squinting at Liu Man'er and the three of them, quite a bit of a lofty momentum!

"Since there is no distinction between high and low, then how can you know that I am not educated, but you will not be able to count. If that's the case, I suggest that you turn this shop into a fortune-telling place, and if that's the case, I might be willing to spend two pennies to listen to your high-minded talk. ”

Liu Man'er sneered, but she was not afraid.

The two children snuggled up to Liu Man'er's side, but at this moment, they suddenly felt that Liu Man'er was not only an existence that bullied them, but also an existence that could protect them.

"Yo, the peasant woman, she has sharp teeth." But it was the scholar in a long veil who had just been welcomed in by the second child of the store who spoke.

"Drink, look at this scholar, he really looks like a dog!" Liu Man'er replied.

You think it's great to wear a long veil, it's great to read a book, my sister is still a college student, and she has studied hard for 16 years, and she knows astronomy and geography!

"You!"

When this scholar heard Liu Man'er's ridicule, his face instantly turned red, he looked at Liu Man'er, sneered twice, and said: "Picking up people's teeth and wisdom is insulting to Sven!" ”

"Chickens and ducks talk about it, play the piano to cows!" Liu Man'er also rolled her eyes.

Although the two children on the side couldn't understand what Liu Man'er said to this scholar, they saw the scholar's face, but they felt a little happy inexplicably, my sister/sister-in-law is so powerful, I can actually make a reader popular like this, awesome!

"Wuna peasant woman, there must be a scholar in your family, don't you learn two words from others and sell them here, the province is embarrassing and conspicuous, I think you can't even write a word."

When this scholar saw that he couldn't talk about Liu Man'er, he thought that he could write to show his extraordinary.

"I can't write, what does it have to do with you?" Liu Man'er sneered and said, "I see that you are deliberately wearing a long veil, isn't it Dong Shi Xiaofeng?" ”

"You talk nonsense!" The scholar said angrily, "I don't talk to you vulgar peasant woman. ”

"You dog jumped off the wall!" Liu Man'er smiled: "I'm too lazy to talk to you sour scholar." ”

Liu Man'er took Liu Fusheng and Ye He by the hand as she spoke, and was about to turn around and leave, but as soon as she walked to the door, the scholar stopped her: "Wait a minute!" ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Man'er turned her head and smiled at the scholar.

The scholar felt that Liu Man'er was ridiculing him, and he said: "You woman is very good at her mouth, do you dare to compete with me?" ”

"What are you trying to do?" Liu Man'er smiled slightly, but she was just a pedantic scholar, and she had nothing to fear.

"Let's each write a poem and write it on paper, and even if you can copy one poem on paper, I count you as a winner." The scholar expected that Liu Man'er couldn't write, not to mention, Liu Man'er's smile just now really stimulated him greatly.

"Yes, it's just that if you don't have a color head, this peasant woman doesn't have the kung fu to play with you." Liu Man'er said and turned to leave again.

"Aren't you going to buy paper?" The scholar smiled slightly and said, "If you win, what if I give you a stack of papers?" ”

"Good!" Hearing that the scholar was willing to give her paper, Liu Man'er agreed crisply, "Since there is paper as a color, I should agree, but I still lack a wolf." ”

"If you really know how to write, what if the old man gives you a wolf's hair." But it was the shopkeeper who spoke, he stroked his beard, and glanced at Xiao Er on the side, and Xiao Er on the side immediately took out a brush that was quite good.

"This brush, priced at twenty wen, is made of the best wolf's hair, if you can really write a poem, how about giving it to you, and it should be regarded as the old man who has just apologized for your disrespect."

The shopkeeper took the pen, turned it in his hand, then looked at Liu Man'er and said, "But if you don't, then you have to kneel down and kowtow to us and apologize!" ”

"Heh......"

Liu Man'er sneered in her heart, but replied loudly: "Okay! ”

These two people just want to be embarrassed and embarrassed, but this is nothing, there are many things that the original owner has done to make a fool of himself, not to mention, he will not lose this time.

Walking in with Liu Fusheng and Ye He, she lowered her head and asked the two of them, "Do you know how to write?" ”

Both children shook their heads, where would they write? The shopkeeper, Xiao Er, and the scholar on the side sneered when they saw this scene.

Liu Man'er didn't care about them, but taught earnestly, saying: "You, your second brother writes and reads on weekdays, you must not have listened, I listened, so it's just a poem, which doesn't bother me." ”

Saying that, Liu Man'er stretched out her hand, took the pen in the shopkeeper's hand, and then pulled out a piece of paper from the shelf, put the paper on the counter, and asked, "What about the ink?" ”

"Here." Xiao Er took out the inkstone.

When the scholar saw her posture, he also picked up the pen and paper from the shelf, ready to write a poem, but Liu Man'er raised his hand to stop his movements, and said, "This scholar, don't waste paper, pen and ink, anyway, as long as I write it, even if I win, I can't write, even if I lose, why do you bother to write?" ”

As she spoke, she dipped in ink and wrote a few lines of big characters on the paper, "If you don't climb the mountain, you don't know the height of the sky, you don't know the depth of the river, and you don't know the thickness of the earth." ”

"Come, I'll give you these few lines of poetry." Liu Man'er put the pen down, picked up the paper, blew it, and then threw it in front of the scholar.

Liu Man'er's handwriting is not beautiful, on the contrary, it is vigorous and powerful, and the handwriting is very full, even penetrating the back of the paper, which is enough to see that Liu Man'er's pen power is extraordinary.

When the scholar saw the words on it, his face turned even redder, he really didn't know how thick the sky was, in this poor and remote country, he couldn't even compare to an ordinary peasant woman.

"It's me who loses." The scholar clenched the paper in his hand and lowered his head.

"Wrap me in a stack of papers and give it to this girl." He put down a silver bean on the stage and left with a clang.

The shopkeeper took the silver beans and weighed them on the weighing plate, just one point, so he took a stack of white paper from the shelf and wrapped it and handed it to Liu Man'er, and he also washed the pen and handed it to Liu Man'er.

"I really didn't expect that this girl is dressed ordinarily, but she is extraordinary." The shopkeeper also saw Liu Man'er's writing, and he was ashamed.

"The old gentleman praised it falsely, please don't judge people by their appearance in the future." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, took the pen and paper, and put it in her back basket.
