Chapter 34: Shopping in the City
"I don't want to "Hunt for the Ancient Scriptures", who will read such a difficult question."
"Who said you wouldn't watch it?" Tan Yunxing said, "This is one of the arithmetic books that people need to take Gongshi. ”
"Otherwise, if there is a flood, you will repair the dikes and ditches? These are all necessary lessons for being an official. You don't even know this, do you still want Chen An to take the test? ”
……
"You know so much, why don't you learn?"
Tan Qingqing couldn't help but glance at Tan Yunxing.
"You learn, you test. It also saves me from raising the three Chen siblings. ”
Speaking of studying, Tan Yunxing began to be sloppy, and he also shirked with Tan Qingqing, "Aren't I also looking at headaches?" I'm not reading this piece of material! ”
That's so much nonsense!
"I bought all the books you said, and there was not a single one that I couldn't get off the ground. It's better to complete the first step first and test Xiucai. Leave the others aside for the time being. ”
From Wuzhou City to Yuzhou City, it will take at least two or three months. During this time, you can first teach Chen Shi and Chen Hua to read and write on the road.
Chen An can read all the other books first.
When you arrive in Yuzhou City, you can go to Mr. Ask to teach Chen Anming Sutra.
Who knows, Tan Yunxing sneered.
Then from the sleeve of his coat, he found a silver money bag.
On the one hand, he is showing off his money, and on the other hand, he is arrogant.
"No money? Please, brother. Good baby, call good brother to listen! ”
Tan Qingqing, "......" is really the same as the modern third cousin, exactly the same underdraw.
"Do you love to give?" Anyway, the book recommended by Tan Yunxing, Tan Qingqing will not buy it for the time being.
Tan Qingqing just said to the owner of the bookstore, "Pack me a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, not too expensive, not too cheap." It's just so-so. ”
The shopkeeper of the bookstore also ignored Tan Yunxing, and immediately introduced several medium-sized inks and inkstones to Tan Qingqing.
"Ordinary people, generally use this kind of inkstone, because the stone material is average, there is no carving, the workmanship is simple, the price is cheap, so it is quite popular among literati and ink writers."
"It's cheap, but you can rest assured that it won't break if you don't have to hit it with a lot of force. Very durable! ”
"How much?"
"Two hundred and twenty wen!"
It's not expensive for two dollars.
"Okay, wrap it up for me."
"Guest officer, do you want pen, ink and paper? An ordinary pen is 30 wen, ordinary hemp paper, a knife is 60 wen, and a knife is 100 sheets. The ink strip is also a two-dollar silver strip in ordinary times. ”
"There are also pen washes, pen holders, paperweights, inkstones, seals, ink ......"
"Stop."
Hearing the big string behind him, Tan Qingqing's head was almost big.
"It's just for ordinary readers. Don't get it that complicated. ”
"Okay, I see that you have bought quite a lot of things, so why don't I give you a package price?"
The shopkeeper of the bookstore took an abacus and snapped it there, "Thanks to your patronage, it is a total of three thousand seven hundred and ten wen, and if you forget ten wen, I will save it for the guest officer." Guest, you pay me three taels of silver plus 700 yuan. ”
The shopkeeper only counted the two books "University" and "The Mean" with Tan Qingqing.
The "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Sun Tzu's Arithmetic" were not added to Tan Qingqing.
Come to think of it, these should be the textbooks that should go to Yuzhou City, and the teacher will guide whether to buy them.
Seeing that he bought this book and still had a surplus in his hand, Tan Qingqing looked at the Five Classics on the bookshelf and fell into deep thought.
Tan Yunxing laughed and scolded Tan Qingqing's poverty, "Look at you, it's only two books, and it's making it difficult for you." Don't you know, the aunt and sister-in-law's house are full of books. ”
"You listen to me, a complete set of four books and five classics, ten taels of silver. Other exegesis or something, but you can go to the aunt's house to copy it. ”
"Then why can't you copy it all? So all the money will be saved. Although Tan Qingqing said this, he was actually complaining.
After all, if Chen An really wanted to copy it, Tan Qingqing was also a little distressed. With so many words in the Four Books and Five Classics, just copying the main textbooks will take several months, right?
Moreover, why does Tan Qingqing always feel that Tan Yunxing is making bad ideas?
This man always seemed to be encouraging her to spend more.
"You're not the only one going to the private school. A lot of young ladies and gentlemen in the city are going to read it too. Although our scholars can not be rich, they can't be too chained, right? ”
"Otherwise, if you think about it, everyone has a good stack of books with good threads. Just us, the piles of transcribed hemp paper are flying all over the sky. In the classroom, doesn't it also affect the teaching of other people's husbands? ”
"What the hell do you mean?"
"I mean, let's buy a set of Mobao first, and let Chen An practice this character first."
……
I changed my mind three times in a while, and it was also very showy.
"Shopkeeper, let's buy a set of ink treasures first. Forget the book. Then give two copybooks. Tan Qingqing finally decided to shoot yes, don't want books.
The shopkeeper didn't get angry with Tan Qingqing, but helped Tan Qingqing wrap the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, compared to books, is too cheap. It was less than five pieces of silver.
Tan Qingqing handed the ink treasure to Chen An and asked Chen An to go back and put it in the carriage first.
Alone, continue to walk around this Wuzhou Street.
Originally, they were going to the restaurant downstairs of the drunken immortals, but who expected that Tan Jiexing was halfway through, and when he saw the iron, he refused to go forward.
"Wuya, didn't you promise me that you would help me make a set of iron tools?"
Seeing Tan Jiexing stop in front of the blacksmith shop, Chen Shi was also very interested in this knife and sword.
"Sister Qingqing, I want a dagger."
Chen Shi looked at the price, two hundred wen. immediately added, "Two hundred Wen is counted as what I borrowed from Sister Qingqing, and when I make money in the future, I will pay it back to you!" ”
Tan Qingqing saw that Chen Shicai was just a radish head, so he wanted to buy a lethal weapon like a dagger, so he asked him, "Why do you want to buy this?" ”
"I want to use a dagger to protect my eldest brother and sister, as well as Sister Qingqing!"
Seeing that Chen Shi was so intimate, Tan Qingqing gave Chen Shi the dagger he had scavenged from the horse bandits, "Take it." In these years, if you can use it to rob it, don't buy it. Especially the bad guys' things, then don't have any psychological burden. ”
Chen Shi took the dagger and immediately showed a happy smile.
"Thank you, Sister Qingqing!"
"Yes, good."
As for the darts that Tan Jiexing wanted, Tan Qingqing really didn't have them, so he had to buy a new set.
"Order a set of darts. Large and small models, all types are required. ”
"When are you coming to get it, officer?"
They stayed in Wuzhou City for three days, and after three days, they had to go out of the city to hurry, so Tan Qingqing said to the shopkeeper of the ironware shop, "Can you take it the day after tomorrow?" ”
"Yes! It's a total of seven coins of silver, and you can give two coins first as a deposit. ”
Tan Qingqing paid the deposit, and then turned around and looked at the fourth sister.
"Okay, right? As you like, I ordered a batch of darts for you. Happy? ”
