Chapter 13: Selling Books

Zhao Miaomiao pulled Chen Shouxing and said, "Do you see if this person is familiar?" He is my father-in-law, and he copied these books in his spare time. ”

Chen Shouxing immediately put on a professional expression and calmly let a group of ladies and aunts watch.

"This person looks a little familiar!"

"I think too!"

The lady who was standing in front of her in a flower skirt patted her thigh, "Alas, alas! Isn't he always a letter-writer at the West Street Entrance? I even asked him to write a wedding post! ”

"It's him! I've written to him, too. ”

"So I remember, it's him!"

Zhao Miaomiao was waiting for their words, and replied, "That's right, it's my father-in-law, he often comes to the county seat to write letters to people in his spare time, so everyone can buy it with confidence!" ”

"It's nice to be able to write letters! I'll have to go back and call my grandson and see if there's any book he wants!" An old aunt said, turned around and ran back without buying vegetables.

Some people also have the same thoughts as the old aunt, and when they see this, they also go back to find someone.

The lady in the flower skirt said, "Mr. Chen still recognizes the aunt, I don't know?" I'm Aunt Yang who asked you to write a post about her son's marriage at the end of June! My eldest grandson is going to study in the spring next year, help me see what books I need to use? ”

Chen Shouxing naturally didn't remember, and said with a smile, "Oh! It's Aunt Yang, you! Good study! Your eldest grandson will definitely have a chance to take the test in the future, and he will be able to raise people to glorify his ancestors! ”

Aunt Yang smiled when she heard this and said, "I accept your good words!" If my eldest grandson can take the test and show off his talents, my aunt will definitely give you a big red envelope when she arrives, please come and drink a glass of wine! ”

Chen Shouxing nodded and smiled, "Then I'll wait to drink your grandson's talented wine!" ”

Aunt Yang said briskly, "Okay, Auntie will definitely invite you then!" ”

Chen Shouxing bowed his head and asked, "Aunt Yang, has your grandson learned to read?" I'll find you what books you want. ”

Seeing that Aunt Yang shook her head, she took a copy of each book and said, "If you just know a few words and buy a three-character scripture with a hundred family names and a thousand characters, but your grandson is aiming to take the imperial examination, so these enlightenment books have to be learned!" Nine books have a total of 1,160 texts, and you can give one tael and one penny. ”

Aunt Yang used to asking, "If you don't need it, can you return?" ”

Chen Shouxing, "If you don't need it, you can return it to me tomorrow!" ”

Aunt Yang was relieved when she heard this, and took out her money bag to pay the silver directly.

Seeing this, others said, "Can you really retreat?" ”

Zhao Miaomiao nodded and said, "If you are not satisfied with the purchase, you can ask me to return within two days, but the book must be intact!" ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone was immediately relieved and asked about the books they wanted to buy.

"How much does a thousand poems cost? Give me a copy. ”

"How much silver does it cost to learn Qionglin and sound rhythm enlightenment?"

"How much does Guangzeng Xianwen's disciple Gui Zhu Zi's family motto cost?"

……

An hour later, the books on the stall were sold out, and the copper coins were exchanged for silver at the bank, and this time the books were sold for nine taels of silver and more than 500 copper coins.

Chen Shouxing put away the silver and bought three chickens and a duck for 30 yuan from a mother-in-law.

Zhao Miaomiao bought two small windmills and a little sugar man for her son, and went to the meat stall and tofu stall.

Today, I have mutton, a pound of fifteen yuan, less than pork five yuan, I asked for two catties of mutton, three catties of pork and two catties of pig offal, and I also gave a few bones.

When the two returned to the city gate, the ox cart in the village was no longer there, and Chen Shouxing paid Zhao Miaomiao to get on the ox cart in the neighboring village.

The ox cart passed through the town, and Zhao Miaomiao asked people to stop the car for a while and went to the cloth clothing workshop.

Back in Chenjiagou, the people who met along the way saw the chickens and ducks in Chen Shouxing's hands with wide eyes and muttered.

"Where are they today? It won't be from his eldest sister! ”

"Is there a happy event in his family? Why didn't you listen to the lecture? ”

"But if you don't have a festival, how can you buy what a chicken and duck! How much money does it cost! ”

A plump and slender little woman spoke to Zhao Miaomiao, her eyes aimed at Chen Shouxing again and again, "Shouxing's family, is there a happy event in your family?" Later, I'll take those two of my boys to your house to be happy. ”

Zhao Miaomiao puffed up her face angrily, wanting to scold people and be shameless, but she didn't know who this person was.

Chen Shouxing covered his eyes and said with a look of wanting to vomit, "Sister-in-law Liu, your eyes are so ugly that I am, you and your son must not come over, there is no joy in the family, Lao Tzu will be disgusted when he sees you." ”

Zhao Miaomiao was in a good mood.

Sister-in-law Liu was so angry that her face turned blue and her feet were chopped.

Chen Shouxing continued, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, don't cry, don't worry...... I don't just say you're ugly, everyone else is ugly except my daughter-in-law......"

Sister-in-law Liu was about to scold, but Yu Guang found someone not far away, wiped her eyes and tears, and said, "You bully people......"

As soon as the man saw this scene, he raised his fist and rushed over, "Chen Lao Wu!" You dare to bully ......"

Seeing that someone was going crazy and wanted to beat her husband, Zhao Miaomiao let out a groundhog-like scream, "Ahhhh......h

Chen Shouxing dropped the chicken and duck as if he had prepared early, and covered his ears.

Sister-in-law Liu, who didn't react, and the man were deafening, feeling that their souls were about to come out!

There was a sound of footsteps, and people from every household ran to the side.

Mrs. Chen rushed out first with the bench and yelled with a murderous face, "Which bastard dares to bully my little daughter-in-law!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao rushed over and hugged her, and raised her hand aggrievedly to point at the person, "Mother, it's him, he wants to beat someone!" ”

Mrs. Chen shot at the man with a flying knife and scolded angrily, "Wu Chengjia, who killed a thousand knives, dares to bully my daughter-in-law......

A bench slammed into him.

Wu Chengjia quickly jumped to avoid the bench and waved his hand again and again, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, auntie!" ”

"Misunderstanding fart! The old lady wants to scratch your face, dare to hit my daughter-in-law's idea......" Mrs. Chen directly pounced and pressed the person to the ground, pulling her hair and black nails to scratch her face.

Li Fatya and Wang Hongmei stood alone, staring with sticks in their hands, thinking that if their mother-in-law suffered, they would immediately help.

Wu Chengjia angrily pressed Mrs. Chen's hand and shouted, "Aunt Chen won't ......be welcome if she makes trouble with Lao Tzu again."

Mrs. Chen bit his hand tightly, Wu Youjia grabbed her hair in pain, and wanted to get up and press the person to the ground, Mrs. Chen kicked and beat her hands and feet, and Wu Youjia's head suddenly snapped and buried on Mrs. Chen's shoulder.

Seeing this scene,

Watching the lively crowd, the eyes are about to drop.

"Wu Youjia is too hungry!"

"My mother! Mrs. Chen is almost ready to be his grandmother, and he can do it! ”

"I have to stay away from him when I see him in the future, who knows if he will do anything to me"

Zhao Miaomiao was so frightened that her soul flew and hurriedly ran up.

Chen Shouxing's eyes were cracking, and he rolled up his sleeves angrily, "Wu! Yes! Family! You dare to eat my mother's tofu! ”

Li Fatya and Wang Hongmei were stunned for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, they were about to pull Wu Youjia away.

Before he could do anything, he heard Wu Youjia let out a terrifying and miserable scream, "Ah!! ”

Wu Youjia covered his legs, and he was rolling in the middle with a white face.

Mrs. Chen kicked the person away, got up and kicked him a few more times, and scolded, "I'm bah! Dare to take advantage of the old lady, the old lady will abolish you! ”

The onlookers all changed their faces and covered their legs.
