Chapter 83 is handsome, making people's scalps tingle
Jiang Yan's heart was shocked for a few seconds, the person in front of her was so handsome that it made people's scalp tingle! Spirit-stunning!
She only felt that her brain was a little buzzing, and her expression was a little unnatural, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she hurriedly adjusted her expression and pretended that nothing had happened.
The man in front of him has picturesque eyebrows, long hair like ink, red lips like blood, a high nose bridge, fair skin, deep eyes, and eyelashes like a fan...... He has a stunning face!
"The shopkeeper's guess is accurate, the peasant woman is planning to choose some enlightenment books for her children and buy some paper, ink, pens and inkstones."
After the first glimpse, Jiang Yan quickly adjusted her state, it's not that she hasn't seen a handsome guy, in the past, as long as she threw off the black card, there were many kinds of beautiful boys for her to observe carefully, the reason why she was surprised was nothing more than that she had seen too many sunrises and sunsets in the village during this time, and the tanned townsman was stunned by such a handsome guy with handsome facial features and cold white skin...... Nothing more.
If it weren't for his long hair, his outfit as a scholar, and his flat chest with a flat horse, Jiang Yan would have thought he was a beauty...... But this height, it shouldn't be, it's two heads taller than her.
"Auntie, you can take a look at the shelves here, there are some hundred family names and thousand-character texts, which are most suitable for enlightened children." The shopkeeper limped to the side of the shelf, pointing to a few books with white frames on a blue background, with the names of several books written on them, and the small notes below were manuscripts.
It turned out to be a lame person, Jiang Yan shook her head slightly, it's a pity, it seems that no matter how perfect things are, there are flaws, but this flaw doesn't seem to affect all of the shopkeepers.
Jiang Yan's eyes unconsciously brought a little pity: "Shopkeeper, you can help choose, I have four or five children in my family, all of whom have not yet been enlightened, and I plan to send these two people to study in the town after preparing their bundles." ”
The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed: "This ......" He looked at Jiang Yan and the two little teenagers beside her hesitantly, and looked up and down carefully before saying: "This aunt, this book is not cheap, although it is only a manuscript, but one also costs three hundred texts, and the cheapest pen, ink, paper, and inkstone also costs five taels of silver for a set......
It's really not that he looks down on Jiang Yan, but that the other party is dressed in coarse linen clothes, although it is clean and tidy, and there is no patch at all, but it doesn't seem that his life is very rich, if he uses it all to study, the gains outweigh the losses, so he has to think about it carefully.
Seeing that worry flashed in the other party's beautiful eyes, Jiang Yan only felt that the shopkeeper's heart was a little kind: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's reminder, I naturally came to buy books after inquiring." ”
Seeing her smile kindly, the shopkeeper couldn't help but blame himself for having a lot of mouths, and his annoyance flashed, and his fair face was also dyed a little pink.
Jiang Yan took four of the two books each, and asked the shopkeeper to take two agricultural books related to farming.
"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, come here to choose."
After choosing the books, the shopkeeper led a few people to the counter, and there was a brand-new inkstone on the back shelf, he took out a box, opened it, and there were brushes of different sizes and many rectangular strips of ink.
"I won't choose, the shopkeeper will follow the cheapest set, get me six sets, and choose five more brushes, and cut two knives on rice paper first." Several children are still just enlightened, and they don't need to buy too good learning utensils, especially rice paper, and they can practice calligraphy on weekdays.
"Okay, auntie, wait a minute." The shopkeeper dragged his legs and packed in a hurry.
Jiang Yan looked at the somewhat dusty box, and guessed that the business of this nameless bookstore was not good, otherwise the shopkeeper would not be a little cramped because of these sets of pen and ink.
"Yikes! Business is so good today? Qiao's shopkeeper is following a big order, it seems that you don't have to have brown rice porridge every day this month. ”
Suddenly, a taunt came, the shopkeeper's whole body stiffened, Jiang Yan followed his gaze, saw the two men walking in the backlight at the door, and couldn't see their appearance for a while.
Shopkeeper Qiao hung his head and continued to pack the pen and ink in his hand, he packed it very carefully, pretending not to hear the words of the two people.
After a while, he spoke: "Eight enlightenment books have a total of two taels and four hundred texts, two agricultural books each have one tael of silver, a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone five taels of silver, six sets of thirty taels, and five brushes selected by a single choice have a total of two taels, a total of thirty-six taels and four hundred texts." ”
Shopkeeper Qiao settled the account in three or two clicks, and packed it according to Jiang Yan's requirements, looking at the few bags of things on the counter, Jiang Yan only felt that it was expensive, especially Lin Bei, whose little face was directly distorted.
These more than 30 taels will buy these packs of things, which is enough for their family to eat brown rice for many, many years!
Lin Bei carefully pulled his mother, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that his mother would not pay attention to it and buy other things.
"Little Si, take out the money in your arms and let you spend it." Jiang Yan silently took a step back, stared at the back of Lin Bei's head and pursed her lips and chuckled.
When Lin Bei heard this, he only felt that his chest was hot, and he stiffly took out the protected flat and intact silver ticket from his arms, which still carried his body temperature, and his emaciated little hands trembled and lifted to the cabinet higher than him.
The shopkeeper Qiao saw the reluctance of the little guy, he pinched the other end of the silver ticket funny, and couldn't pull it out of the little guy's hand with a little bit of strength, for fear of tearing up the silver ticket, he leaned over to look down, and saw a pair of beautiful deer eyes watery, as if he was experiencing something painful.
Feeling the gaze of the shopkeeper Qiao, Lin Bei finally let go, the shopkeeper Qiao was a little surprised, looked at the one hundred taels of silver tickets in his hand, and turned around directly to the store next door, he was indeed very poor, there was no money for change, and the small storefront could not find a hundred taels.
As soon as he left, Lin Bei was so frightened that he panicked, thinking that the other party was going to run away, and when he chased him to the door, he saw that the shopkeeper Qiao was dragging his lame back and handed him the money he had found.
"Mother......
"You take it first." Jiang Yan's face was cold, her voice did not fluctuate, as soon as the shopkeeper Qiao went out, the two men were carefully looked at by her, they were all acquaintances, Yu Xuan, who had only met not long ago, and Jiang Wen, the nephew in the memory of the original body.
Lin Bei put the silver money away, it was heavy, much heavier than a fluttering silver ticket, and he propped up the clothes on his chest, but he knew very well in his heart that the money was much less......
As soon as he looked up, the whole person froze in place, how could my cousin be here? Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned back to look at his mother, and his hand holding the silver coin was tighter than before.
In the past, my mother's favorite was my cousin, she said that my cousin was sensible and polite, and he was very good at reading, and he would send his cousin where there was delicious food at home, and he would secretly give his cousin a lot of money.
After making so much money today, will my mother give it directly to my cousin?
Can...... But this is all our family's money, if it is all given to my cousin, what will happen to the peppers grown in the village?
