Visiting the Bookstore (2)
At this time, Lin Wenjie also brought his sister to the bookstore, planning to find a few enlightenment books. Since receiving a reply from my father, I knew that the food problem in the frontier should be solved, and I was very surprised that Meng Saburo still had talent in this area, and I was very happy, but let Meng Saburo also go to the frontier together. I haven't had anything to worry about lately, and I'm in a very happy mood. So I thought that my sister was brought out just after the beginning of enlightenment, and in a short period of time, my mother and sister could not return to the capital, and I couldn't be idle during this time, so I wanted to buy some more books, and I sent them to private school to go to school after the year.
This made Lin Zhen'er miserable, she didn't want to read very much, and she wanted to doze off when she saw the words on the book. I'd rather go outside for a few laps than stay and read. I've already driven away a lot of gentlemen in the capital. Lin Zhen'er said distressedly, "Little brother, you see that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are still children there to study." Can't you just let me have a good New Year? Look at your lovely sister, she's lost a lot lately, and she doesn't have any sympathy at all! ”
Coincidentally, Lin Wenjie saw the back of Meng Xin sitting on the edge of the chair reading a book, so he said to Lin Zhen'er, "Look, there are children reading books over there, and they are also girls, and they are younger than you." ”
Lin Wenjie didn't know at this time that the back he saw was Meng Xin, who he had always been curious about. Lin Zhen'er was very unconvinced when she saw her little brother praising others like this, and said, "Okay, I'm also studying hard." This is also the first time Lin Zhener has met Meng Xin.
However, Meng Lao Dad and Meng Xin didn't know about these things at all. Both of them are now immersed in the world of books. It was only when Meng Shiro came over and shouted that the two of them went home that he realized that a long time had passed!
The two of them put down the books, and Meng Xin still only read half of the book, because there was no book at home. So Father Meng bought this book for Meng Xin, and then selected some books needed for the scientific expedition, so he settled the bill with the boss. In the end, the owner of the bookstore also gave Daddy Meng 10 taels of silver, which surprised the guy next to him. But it was only for a moment that it was back to the same state.
When Father Meng and Meng Xin had already gone away, he asked his boss curiously, "Boss, that gentleman just brought two copied books, but he could exchange so many books, and why did you give him 10 taels of silver!" ”
The boss was in a good mood and said, "What do you know!" Although this Meng Xiucai only brought two books, do you know how long I have been looking for this book? Ever since I opened this bookstore, I've been looking for this book, but I haven't found it, and you say that this book is not precious. And this gentleman's handwriting is very good! Generally, he copied 7 or 8 books that could be copied by others. That is, when he needs to change books, he will copy some books by himself. Do you now know how precious this gentleman's copybook is? As soon as I arrived at the bookstore, I was bought by someone else for double the price. Ay! Forget it, forget it, you don't understand, I won't tell you. ”
As he spoke, he tidied up a book that Daddy Meng had just brought over and carefully put it in his arms. Then he wrapped the other book in a cloth and handed it to the man, "You go to the best person in our bookstore to copy books, and copy a few more." Tell them that they should copy the books in 3 days, get back the original books, and don't let them hide them. ”
Why? Because I used to ask them to copy Daddy Meng's books, I found that Daddy Meng's handwriting was really good, so I couldn't help but buy these books for Qiang. I don't give it back to the bookstore owner anymore, because we are friends with each other, so I can't and can't grab it, but the bookstore owner is angry.
The conversation between the bookstore owner and the buddy here, Meng Xin and Meng Lao Dad didn't hear it. Meng Xin was also very curious about how the two books copied by his father could be exchanged for so many things. But then I thought about it, the copied book should be very precious, otherwise it wouldn't be so valuable.
Father Meng and Meng Xin delayed a little time in the bookstore, Father Meng saw that the time was a little late, the family should also be hungry, and he also made some money by copying books this time, so he gave most of the money he earned to Wu's family, let Wu take it, and left some of it, took the family to a nearby small shop to have a meal, and finally took the ox cart home slowly.
There were a lot of things to buy on the ox cart, so I bought a lot of cotton cloth at one time because I wanted to make some quilts to put in the rooms in the town. As a result, only children and women could sit on the cart, and the men walked home slowly. When I got home, I was tired of a group of people.
