Joe's little lady

Chapter 472

After drinking the tea, the food from the restaurant was also brought up. Qiao Anhao woke up Xiao Yuanbao before it was brought up. It was enough time to sleep for almost noon.

It's just that when Xiao Yuanbao rubbed his sleepy eyes and found that he was already in the state capital, he was a little confused: "Mother, have we already arrived at the state capital?"

Joan smiled: "Yeah."

Xiao Yuanbao exclaimed: "My God, I've been asleep for so long?"

After finishing speaking, he said: "Didn't I miss the beautiful scenery along the way?"

Qiao Anhao: "It's never too late to look at it on the way back."

Xiao Yuanbao came to his senses, "Mother, let's go to the bookstore, let's go to the State Bookstore. I heard that the State Bookstore has "Shui Zhu Jing", and I want to buy a copy."

Qiao Anhao said, "Okay, we'll go after we finish eating, let's eat first."

Lu Zhishu also said: "Yes, Yuanbao, there is your favorite crystal elbow, boiled water slices, and steamed pork with vermicelli, all of which are extremely delicious."

Having said that, Xiao Yuanbao's stomach immediately growled, everyone couldn't help laughing, and sat down to eat. I have to say that Lu Zhishu really knows how to eat.

These dishes are not only the special dishes of Xinzhou Prefecture, but also the special dishes of the counties below Xinzhou Prefecture. Several people ate with relish, and Luo Qingyue couldn't help but say: "Fortunately, we didn't go to the palace with my parents, otherwise the dishes of the palace Although it’s good, it’s definitely not as enjoyable as eating here.”

Luo Qinghe, who cared a lot about rules, also nodded in approval: "Indeed."

Looking at Luo Qinghe's appearance, Qiao Anhao couldn't help but smile. In fact, he is not very old, and he looks gentle and polite, but he has a young and mature feeling, like Qingyue's father, not like his elder brother. .

A few people came from the restaurant after eating, because the spring feast is about to start at the last hour, and they have to arrive at the last hour at least, and there is not much time to go to the bookstore, so hurry up Come and visit the bookstore.

Not only Xiao Yuanbao wanted to come, but Luo Qinghe also wanted to come.

Xinzhou Prefecture is not small, and there are many great Confucian scholars. There will also be some collections of books that are not available in the capital, so he also wants to see if there are any books he likes.

As soon as he entered the bookstore, Luo Qinghe plunged into the sea of ​​books. Lu Zhishu was not very interested in books. They had all the books in the Daling market, and they also had books that weren't there.

But these are all his elder brother's treasures, not to mention giving them away, even borrowing them to see his elder brother would not allow it.

Unless approved by Big Brother.

In addition, as soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Xinzhou Mansion sent people over, so he separated from them and went to Xinzhou Mansion first. Anyway, it would take at most one stick of incense to go to the bookstore.

And Luo Qingyue and Qiao Anhao accompanied Xiao Yuanbao to find the "Shui Jing Zhu" he wanted. This book is a map belonging to this era. When Li Daoyuan created this book, he also described it in detail. The historical relics and anecdotes of characters in this book, as well as myths and legends.

It can be said to be the most comprehensive and systematic geography book of this era.

In addition, this book is extremely heavy, and there are many pictures and texts interspersed with it, so that this book is very precious and rare in this era. Yuan Bao is also in the county school. There are such books, so this is the main reason why Qiao Anhao brought him here.

However, since there was no movable type printing in this era, and the set of "Shui Jing Zhu" was very heavy, the price was very expensive. A set cost a hundred taels of silver, which was not affordable for ordinary people.

Luo Qingyue was a little bit tongue-tied when he heard the price: "So expensive?"

The partner in the bookstore smiled: "Miss, I don't know. Our state government bookstore has only bought five sets of this set of books, and it was copied by the scholar in the capital. Not only is it very interesting, but it is also very collectible." value, so this book was bought by several aristocratic families as soon as it arrived, and now there is only one set left."

As soon as Xiao Yuanbao heard that there was only one set, he immediately looked at Qiao Anhao with bright eyes, fawning and looking forward to her. He knew that this set of books was really extremely expensive.

It is equivalent to a house at home, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

But his mother never ambiguous with him about buying books, so he was not worried.

However, he will also study hard, win the first prize in the exam and come back to fight for his mother's face, and then earn more money to compensate his mother, so that his mother will become the richest person in the world.

Seeing his appearance, Qiao Anhao couldn't help smiling, and took out a 100 tael banknote neatly: "Wrap it up for us, thank you."

When you have money, don't be stingy with spending money on children's education.

It's better than doing anything else.

Besides, she also knows what collecting books means to a family in this era. This book is not only bought for ingots, but also for collection, so she never hesitates to buy books.

The bookstore clerk's eyes lit up, and he took the money: "Wait a minute, lady, I'll send it right away."

Luo Qingyue looked at Qiao Anhao's spending money, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that I have to make more money, so that I can buy things I like in the future without blinking my eyes."

Qiao An smiled: "Didn't the profit of Jiu'an Hall last month be given to you?"

"Is the family short of money?"

Luo Qingyue nodded: "Quiet."

"There is such a county magistrate father who keeps throwing money outside, no matter how much money my mother and I make, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Qiao Anhao: "..."

She knew this. The magistrate of Luo County built a nursery in Luoshan County. He built it privately. Because no one agreed to him when he applied for it, so he paid for it himself.

But she also understood why magistrate Luo was like this.

It is said that I offended someone in the capital, and I want to make some achievements so that I can return to the capital.

So she said very generously: "What do you fancy, pick me and give it to you."

Luo Qingyue smiled: "I don't lack anything."

The two of them were chatting, and the bookstore partner brought over the books. The cost of transcribing "Shui Jing Zhu" was a set of ten books, which can be said to be quite heavy.

Fu An stepped forward to pick up the books and brought them to the carriage, when someone stepped forward and took the top book, and said to the girl next to him with surprise: "Miss, look, do you want to read the book?" Do you want water injection?"

It was a little maid, and she handed the book to the woman next to her.

Qiao Anhao and Luo Qingyue hadn't noticed the strangeness here yet, but the girl took the book and looked at it carefully, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face: "It's really true."

After finishing speaking, he handed it to a slightly younger man next to him and said, "Young Master Zheng, do you see if this is the water injection that the young master of the Wu family wants?"
