Volume 1 Looking Northwest and Shooting the Wolf Chapter 16 Homesickness Under the Moon I

In today's world, travel is very inconvenient.

Not to mention the extremely difficult road guidance and passage documents, a single means of transportation can press people to a boundary and not move.

Most people's range of activities in their lives is the villages and towns where they live, and a trip to the county seat feels like being on the horizon, and it is worth going home to brag about.

If you don't count the experience of your previous life, in fact, Chai Tiannuo has never left Shaoyin County in the past 16 years.

If it weren't for Wu Xiucai, I am afraid that I would be trapped in the one-third of an acre of land in Shaoyin County for the rest of my life.

This time I really went far, and I really saw a lot of landscapes that I had never seen before.

It's just that compared with Mingyang Mansion, where the people are prosperous, the neighboring prefectures are too bad, and along the way, there are beggars and homeless people everywhere, unlike Mingyang Mansion, which has a special shelter and treatment department.

went around the town all the way, and really let Chai Tiannuo find what he liked.

First of all, the carpenter's craftsmanship here is good, in Chai Tiannuo's opinion, not inferior to, or even better than the master craftsmen who wear silk in Shaoyin County, and there are some unique details in the processing.

Of course, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, a small number of oak wood is only ten yuan, and the same product in Shaoyin County is definitely not one or two hundred yuan.

Such an affordable item, you must take it!

In addition, the cultural atmosphere of the town is quite sufficient, although the building is a little dilapidated, but the fragrance of paper and ink that moistens people's hearts is far more than that of Shaoyin County.

A main street, at least one-third of which is engaged in the Four Treasures business, really gave Chai Tiannuo a big surprise.

Walking into a rice paper workshop, smelling the fresh aroma of rice paper, Chai Tiannuo's fingers shook involuntarily, and after checking it, he found that the cooked rice here was quite good, and the price was very cheap.

Chai Tiannuo, who hadn't started writing for several days, bought a knife directly with a ruthless heart, spending a whole tael of silver, and was so frightened that Chai Man'er collapsed on the spot.

According to the little girl's words, this pile of butt wiping paper is about to catch up with her worth!

Chai Tiannuo didn't hesitate to ignore her, and the elegant thing actually involved her in filthy behavior, she was really speechless.

Coming out of the rice paper workshop, the joyful Chai Tiannuo, with Chai Man'er, who was carrying a basket of rice paper with a small mouth, walked straight to the bookstore opposite with a small shop.

Through the wide open window, you can see that many guys are busy printing books with engraving, which is a scene that you will never see in Shaoyin County.

"Good, very good, really good!"

Chai Tiannuo looked at the books in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, the printing was exquisite, there were no typos, the quality of the ink was also good, there was a faint aroma of pine branches, could it be that it was pine nut oil?

When he came out of the bookstore, Chai Tiannuo also carried a book basket on his back, which was a gift from the bookstore, and it was full of brand new books.

Chai Tiannuo couldn't hide the smile on his face, for him, he could not go without eating for a day, but he could never stop studying.

Chai Man'er's little face collapsed directly, and he complained:

"Young master, we only have a total of sixty taels of silver, of which ten taels are the master's private money."

"You spent more than six taels at once, and when you enter Beijing, how should we live?"

"How to live, don't you just be frugal."

Chai Tiannuo was in a good mood when he got his wish, and rubbed Chai Man'er's head with his hand, and said with a smile.

Hearing his irresponsible statement, the little girl was even more dissatisfied, and pouted:

"If you are frugal, you are not a thrifty person!"

"If you don't even eat the ingredients, what are you going to do?"

“…… Why do you always think about the feed, it's for the animals, right? ”

Chai Tiannuo glanced at the little girl, and said with a little arrogance:

"In the autumn of next year, I am completely sure that I can be lifted!"

"The imperial court has a lot of subsidies for lifting people, and life will definitely be much better by then."

"More than fifty taels of silver lasts for a year, and our small life must be extremely comfortable."

“…… Master, have you forgotten about the tuition fees? ”

The little girl squinted, and Chai Tiannuo's heart trembled, she really forgot about the tuition fee!

Without waiting for Chai Tiannuo to calculate, Chai Man'er pouted:

"Before leaving, I inquired with the teacher, and the tuition fee of the Guozijian Martial Arts School is fifty taels, which is twenty taels higher than the Fuxue."

"These days, I often hear the aunt who cooks say that the price of goods in the capital is ridiculously high, several times that of Shuliang Province, and it is really not so easy for us to live for a long time."

"Coupled with the fact that you like to spend money and don't know how to make money, let's ......"

Listening to Chai Man'er's chatter, Chai Tiannuo only felt extremely tight in his chest, and couldn't help but rub the little girl's head vigorously:

"Barbarian, barbarian, do you know that your words are very piercing?"

Chai Tiannuo took Chai Man'er to wander around the town, as if there was a younger girl than Yu Zhen'er, which was really good.

bought half a catty of Jiang rice noodles for Chai Man'er at a dim sum shop, which can be regarded as stopping the little mouth that keeps talking.

Squinting at the elated little girl, Chai Tiannuo couldn't help laughing, the melon baby is just a good deal.

But as soon as he thought of the money on his body, his face fell, he really had to think of something to make a living, and it was not easy to live in the capital!

At night, I still go back to the car to sleep, since I am a guard at someone else's house, I should fulfill my duties.

Put the purchased items in the car, Chai Tiannuo looked around, the bright moon was in the sky, the earth was frosty white, it was a good time to write.

Find a dry open space to support a small few, put the four treasures of the study, Chai Man'er dripped water in the inkstone, and slowly grinded the pine smoke ink strips.

The three fingers rubbed each other in the big food, the feeling of numbness and itching, and the heart and liver of Chai Tiannuo also itched, and he didn't touch the pen for several days, and he really missed it tightly.

Choose a good Xiaokai dipped in the ink, and Chai Tiannuo sat a few times in front of him.

The ink fragrance and paper fragrance reflect the bright moon, the thin barbarian is secretly tasting the ink, Chai Tiannuo is cold in his heart, and he doesn't know if his father-in-law and Yu Zhen'er are okay now.

In the past sixteen years, I have never left my hometown for half a step.

There was a melodious sound of the piano in my ears, it was the bookkeeper playing the huqin, revealing an indescribable loneliness.

Chai Tiannuo sighed, his wrist turned slightly, and the sheep's small Kai fell steadily, and the square and straight regular script slowly unfolded in Shuxuan.

Chai Man'er, who was full of black mouths, looked at the increasing words on the snow-white paper, and was a little stupid.

Why is this regular script with a square shape and straight strokes, but the young master has a feeling of free and elegant when he writes it?

After the last point was written, Chai Tiannuo decisively picked up the pen, looked at the white paper and black words and nodded with satisfaction, he was in a good mood today, and the surrounding atmosphere was good.

"Good word!"

The round bag applauded vigorously, not because he praised it, but because this word was really beautifully written.
