9 Bookstore Row
Where to play? Naturally, I went to the bookstore! This is the one who sneaked into the city today at the risk of being found out and heavily punished, and the first thing is to go to the bookstore and see if anyone will let him copy the book! So after Han Chunlin asked where to play, Mo Ziyun replied without thinking, "Go to the bookstore and have a look."
Han Chunlin was following Mo Ziyun all the time, and it was always Mo Ziyun who said what she said, but after hearing this, she turned her head to look at Mo Ziyun, and she didn't know why she wanted to go to the bookstore? The bookstore is full of books, what's so fun? So he asked, "What's there to do in the bookstore?" ”
As long as he said that he was not here to play, Han Chunlin's face could show a disappointed expression, and he had deceived others, so this lie had to continue, so he whispered: "Brother Chunlin, do you want to make money?" ”
Earning money is really very sensitive for both young and old, so after Mo Ziyun pretended to talk mysteriously about making money, Han Chunlin's interest was immediately raised again, "I think." ”
Mo Ziyun continued: "I want to too, but we are still young, to work, people will definitely not want us, but we can write, can read, we can go to the bookstore to find a job of copying books, this job is not tiring, and relaxed, just be able to write." ”
Although Han Chunlin was interested in making money, when he heard that he wanted to copy a book, he was not interested in it in an instant, "If you finish copying a book, how long will it take?" ”
Mo Ziyun continued to flicker, "But aren't we writing every day now?" You have to write anyway, and you can still make money copying books. ”
After Mo Ziyun spoke, Han Chunlin thought about it, he was indeed writing every day, and felt that what Mo Ziyun said was reasonable, so he didn't think about anything else, and agreed, "Okay." Then he asked, "Do you know where the bookstore is?" ”
Mo Ziyun patted her chest and said, "I know." Every time she comes to the county, she will carefully remember the streets in the county, and what kind of shops are on each street, so as to understand the market first, so as to better implement the money-making plan.
Han Chunlin saw Mo Ziyun nodding, and saw that her red little face was actually sweaty, so he hurriedly handed the bamboo tube hanging on her body to Mo Ziyun, "Sister Yunyun, you drink some water first, and it won't be too late for us to leave after drinking water." The bamboo tube was originally carried by Mo Ziyun, but after the two ran out of the village, Han Chunlin took the bamboo tube that Mo Ziyun was carrying and carried it on his back.
Mo Ziyun took the bamboo tube and drank two sips, and then handed it back to Han Chunlin, "Brother Chunlin also drinks." "It's still filled with chrysanthemum water, and after the two of them ran outside for a while, they had a sip of chrysanthemum water to drink, which was like nectar.
After the two drank water, Mo Ziyun pulled Han Chunlin forward again. Mo Ziyun was worried that the two of them would easily breed some unnecessary accidents when they walked away for a long time, so they trotted Han Chunlin along the way. She didn't stop until she ran to the bookstore she was talking about, Moyun Bookstore.
The two little babies came to the bookstore, and in addition to the bookstore shopkeeper counting something at the counter, there was also a little second brother and two guests who came to buy books.
After the two little babies entered the bookstore, the little second brother was talking to the guests, and the shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at the two of them and ignored them, just what was written under his hands, so that no one stepped forward to greet the two. However, Mo Ziyun didn't expect that someone would come forward to greet her, so she walked straight to the bookstore shopkeeper and raised her head, and shouted sweetly: "Hello uncle!" ”
The shopkeeper of the bookstore is a man in his thirties, the man is dressed in a green shirt and robe, and his face looks very elegant, and kind, this face knows at a glance that he is a good talker, of course, not only now looking at the person in front of him with a kind face, she also has some understanding of the shopkeeper, otherwise she would not have come to this bookstore.
The man in the green shirt looked at Mo Ziyun and Han Chunlin and asked, "Children, do you want to buy books?" After speaking, he looked outside the store, saw that there was no one outside the door, and asked, "Why don't you see your family with you?" ”
Mo Ziyun replied: "We live not far from here, and the family knows that we came to Uncle Bookstore. ”
"And what books do you want to buy?" The man in the green shirt asked.
"Uncle, we don't want to buy books, my brother and I came to Uncle to ask Uncle if he might be offered a job to help someone copy books here?" Mo Ziyun shouted one uncle after another, not to mention how affectionate she was.
Listening to Mo Ziyun's uncle, the man in the green shirt was also a little more cordial, and said to Mo Ziyun warmly: "Yes, yes." Later, he said, "But someone in the family wants to copy the book?" ”
Mo Ziyun stretched out her white and tender little hand and said, "It's not my family, it's me." Later, he said: "Uncle, I can copy books, I want to find a job copying books to earn money, and earn money to treat my grandmother." ”
The man in the green shirt couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth after hearing this, he knew that he was so young that he could earn money to see a doctor for his grandmother, and his filial piety was good! Stretched out his hand and stroked the heads of Mo Ziyun's two dumplings and said, "Okay, when you grow up to write, can you come to Uncle to copy the book?" ”
Mo Ziyun didn't think that as soon as she said it, someone would believe that she could write, after all, most children of her size still only know how to play, so she took out the words that she practiced at Han's house in the first half of the day and handed it to the man in green shirt and said, "Uncle, please look, this is the word I practiced at home in the first half of the night." Later, he promised: "I will definitely write carefully, I will not make mistakes, and I will ensure that the copied book will be sold well by my uncle." ”
The man in the green shirt took the paper full of words handed over by Mo Ziyun, he has opened a bookstore for so many years, and he has seen many geniuses, but to say that a three or four-year-old child can write so beautifully, he looked down at the little girl standing in front of the counter, and once again confirmed that she was only three or four years old. He had never seen a three- or four-year-old child write such beautiful words. Unconvinced, he asked, "Is this really what you wrote?" ”
Before Mo Ziyun could answer, Han Chunlin said, "Sister Wanyun only wrote it in the morning, and we wrote it together." Later, he remembered something, turned his head to Mo Ziyun and said, "Sister Yunyun, Grandpa Mo took money for my father last night, and said to buy you paper and copy books." ”
Mo Ziyun couldn't believe what her ears heard, grandpa agreed to buy paper for herself? So what are you doing now? Mo Ziyun, who didn't know how to express her complicated heart at the moment, had to say to Han Chunlin: "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Han Chunlin said very innocently: "You didn't ask me!" But then he scratched his head and said, "I forgot." ”
The man in the green shirt looked at the two babies, and at a glance he knew that the two babies were secretly running out from the adults in the family, staring at Mo Ziyun again, afraid that it was still the little girl who took the lead, and for a while he also had the idea of teasing the two babies, so he said: "Are you hiding from your family and secretly running out?" You are too bold to know how many crutches there are on this street? If this happens, I can't sneak you all away! Half teasing, half warning the two of them that it was dangerous to sneak out like this.
Mo Ziyun didn't know this, so she didn't stop running all the way, observing the people around her while running, and when she ran to the city gate, she also picked up the good-faced woman and entered the city together, and when she entered the city, she didn't dare to stay longer, and ran straight to the bookstore.
Han Chunlin hadn't thought about this at all, so after hearing the words of the man in the green shirt, he was immediately frightened and didn't know how to answer.
After Mo Ziyun quietly glanced at Han Chunlin, she took his hand and said, "We are very careful on the road, and we know that Uncle you are good enough to come in." She had visited the bookstore with Han Shuxian before, and she also had some impressions of the bookstore owner, knowing that he was an elegant and talkative bookstore owner.
The man in the green shirt looked at Mo Ziyun and laughed again, "You little baby is too good at talking." After speaking, he said, "Come, let Uncle see you write with your own eyes." ”
Mo Ziyun was not polite, and immediately agreed, "Okay." ”
The man in the green shirt turned around and spread out a piece of paper on his counter, he was already writing, the pen and ink were ready-made, and he could write directly after taking the pen. After laying out the paper, the man picked up Mo Ziyun and put it on the chair sitting under him, and said, "The height of the chair is a little inappropriate, you will write it." ”
Mo Ziyun stood on the stool and responded, "Well, thank you, uncle, and ask uncle to help me push the chair closer." ”
The man in the green shirt pushed the chair towards the counter and asked, "It's suitable." ”
"That's right, thank you, uncle."
After Mo Ziyun finished speaking, she picked up the pen and began to write, and what she wrote was an article in the university that she had memorized recently, 'The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection......
Mo Ziyun wrote not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, of course, she didn't write much, only wrote down the first few sentences silently, and after writing, she put the pen aside neatly, and only after putting it away did she say: "Uncle, I have written it." ”
The man in the green shirt looked at the little baby in front of him who was not even waist-high, and exclaimed in his heart: What kind of family can raise such a smart and persevering baby? Suddenly, I remembered that she said that she copied books to earn money for her grandmother's medical treatment! I also have some understanding of who it is! But with some understanding, I was even more surprised, if such a family is not a family of poetry and books, and the family has its own Confucian teachings, if it is an ordinary poor family, this child is afraid that he is really a genius!
No, no, even if there is a great Confucian teaching at home, this child is still a genius! Absolute genius, otherwise how could he write such beautiful words at the age of three or four, and he wrote about college! As soon as you look at it, you will know that there is no shortage of reading!
After being amazed, he asked, "Do you know what this means?" The tone couldn't help but soften a lot.
Mo Ziyun knew that she couldn't show it too much, so she shook her head and said, "Uncle Han hasn't taught me this article yet, I just memorized it in advance." ”
The man in the green shirt explained: "This article says that the purpose of the university is to promote the bright virtues, to make people scrap the old and make the new, and to enable people to reach the most perfect state. Only when you know what you should achieve can you be determined......"
After some explanation, the man in the green shirt asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Mo Ziyun was still standing on the chair, bowed to the man in green shirt and said, "Understood, thank you, uncle." ”
The man in the green shirt didn't say much when he saw that she explained, and asked again, "Do you still want to copy the book now?" ”
Mo Ziyun nodded in response: "I want to earn money for grandma's medical treatment." But then he looked down at the man in green shirt and said, "But I don't have any money, can Uncle let me take the book back and copy it first, I will definitely take good care of the book and not break it." ”
"Good! But tell me where you live, or I won't be able to come to you unless you come to me." "Such a caring child, how can he disagree!
This time, Mo Ziyun said her family clearly, "Our family lives in Lushuiyuan, which is only three miles away from the county seat, my grandfather's name is Mo Tingyu, my grandmother teaches Song Nanzhi, my name is Mo Ziyun, my Uncle Han's name is Han Shuxian, and he teaches at Songshan Academy." "Saying Han Shuxian's name also wants him to know that he will definitely find himself.
The man in the green shirt reported his door to Mo Ziyun when he heard the thunderbolt, obviously because he was afraid that he wouldn't believe her and wouldn't copy the book for her.
The man in the green shirt pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay." Later, he said casually: "Let's talk about it first, if we destroy the book and can't finish copying it on time, not only will I not receive the money for copying the book, but I will have to come to you to compensate for the destruction of the book." ”
Mo Ziyun nodded, "I know, the damaged things will be compensated according to the price, uncle, can you believe me this time, and when I earn money in the future, I will give your uncle the deposit you pay for the book, so that uncle will not have to worry about me breaking the book in the future." ”
The man in the green shirt smiled: "Okay, I'll believe you this time." After speaking, he took out a book from the side and handed it to Mo Ziyun and said, "This time, I will copy this book first." After handing the book to Mo Ziyun, he took out another stack of paper, "This is the paper used to copy the book." ”
"Okay." Mo Ziyun responded, "Thank you, uncle, what is your surname?" I've copied it and come to the bookstore, what if my uncle isn't there? ”
The man in the green shirt replied: "My surname is Xie, if I am not in the store, I can give the book to the guy in the store." He casually pointed to the second child behind him, "It's him." ”
The shopkeeper was talking to the two guests in front of him, but after the shopkeeper talked to the little girl who came in the door, he and the two guests who were talking looked at her, and then walked to the counter to watch her write.
"Okay." After Mo Ziyun finished answering, she didn't forget to say to the man in the green shirt: "Uncle Xie's kindness, Aster will remember it in his heart, and he will repay Uncle Xie's kindness in the future." Then he shouted to the shopkeeper behind Xie Shopkeeper: "Big brother is good." ”
The shopkeeper is a sixteen or seventeen boy, and after Mo Ziyun shouted, he also replied: "Hello little sister!" ”
After receiving the job of copying books, the two did not dare to delay any longer, and after saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Xie, they rushed to the village. It only took half an hour to return to the village from the county seat, of course, it was not that they ran faster when they went back, but the shopkeeper Xie of the bookstore sent someone to drive them back. not only sent someone to send them back to the village, but also asked people to send Mo Ziyun and Han Chunlin to the bookstore to find books to copy books, and also sent them to Han Shuxian, who was still in Songshan Academy.
