The self-disciplined princess wins

Chapter 21 This is a bit too much

She knew that goat milk was a good thing, and it was always good to drink more, so she didn't ask any more questions.

But, thinking that Zhang Anchu asked the nanny to buy it, it was naturally Zhang Anchu's monthly money.

"Chuchu, take the money for buying goat milk from me. Keep your money well, it will definitely be useful in the future."

"Aunt Bai, goat's milk doesn't cost much, and I don't spend much on weekdays. I have saved a lot in my private house." Zhang Anchu didn't want to use Aunt Bai's money, and she spent more in the mansion than herself.

Aunt Bai knew that Zhang Anchu was filial, so she stopped talking, thinking that when Zhang Anchu got married, she would seldom see each other in the future, so she should cherish these few years.

"Let's go, Auntie will lead you to the bookstore. By the way, I'll pick out some jewelry for you." Aunt Bai caressed the red hairpin on Zhang Anchu's head, which was a simple red bead with small pearls on it.

Although Zhang Anchu's appearance was stunning no matter what jewelry he wore, it was a bit shabby.

"Auntie, you don't need to buy any jewelry. I don't like fancy things on my head, I like simple ones." Zhang Anchu didn't want Aunt Bai to spend money, and besides, she really didn't need any jewelry.

"My aunt's private house money is saved for you to spend. If you don't like fancy ones, just choose a simple one, as long as you like it."

Aunt Bai held her hand and said as she walked, she was afraid that she would not want to go.

Seeing the two standing up and preparing to leave, Zhang Hongze followed in silence.

Siyu hurriedly took the veil and put it on Zhang Anchu, and when she left the private room, there were many people outside, but no one could see her appearance.

Si Xue was originally dull, since she had a fever when she was a child, she was not as active as she was when she first came to Zhang An Chu Academy.

The nanny said that Si Xue seemed to be a little confused, something went wrong with her brain.

However, Si Xue has nothing else but a little dullness. The nanny taught her to do things, although she learned things slowly, at this age, she is already proficient.

Let her do what she will do.

When you see people walking, you will follow them.

Leaving the teahouse, she went to the bookstore first. Zhang Anchu thought that Zhang Hongze had invited Mr. Zhang Hongze, and he probably started learning the Three Character Classic and Hundred Surnames. Did not consider this.

She also has the Four Books and Five Classics in her room. She once borrowed them from her eldest brother, and then copied them out one by one, binding them at a cost.

It's a pity that there is so much knowledge in the Four Books and Five Classics, even if she is so diligent and self-disciplined, she still can't fully understand it, so she considers buying a set of Four Books and Five Classics for her younger brother, which will definitely be used in the future.

"How much are the Four Books and Five Classics?" Zhang Anchu pointed to the Four Books and Five Classics and asked the shopkeeper.

"Do you want a set?" The shopkeeper saw that they were accompanied by a servant girl, thinking that they must not be poor, but he still asked a lot.

"Yes." Zhang Anchu nodded and replied.

"This set of Four Books and Five Classics costs ten taels of silver." The shopkeeper bowed his body and replied.

Zhang Anchu turned to look at Aunt Bai, ten taels of silver was not a small sum.

But Aunt Bai didn't feel bad about money, she had saved a lot of money over the years, even a mere ten taels of silver could still be spent.

Therefore, Aunt Bai didn't feel bad, and was about to ask the maid to take out the money.

"Wait." Zhang Anchu stopped Aunt Bai, and said to the shopkeeper, "Here, bring me some paper."

She didn't want Aunt Bai to pay this money, anyway, she still had extra time for her daily planning, so she could just copy another set of Four Books and Five Classics for Zhang Hongze, which would save a lot of money.

You can also practice calligraphy, why not do it?
Aunt Bai looked at her suspiciously, and Zhang Anchu whispered in her ear, "I have a set of Four Books and Five Classics. I copy a set for my younger brother in my free time. Anyway, my younger brother won't be able to learn it for a while."

Aunt Bai felt sorry for her daughter, she had a full day's schedule, and she had seen the plan.

"Why is that so, it's only ten taels of silver, and my aunt can still afford it." Aunt Bai frowned, and signaled the servant girl to take out the silver.

"Auntie, save if you can. In the teahouse just now, didn't your aunt say that saving money might be of great use in the future? I'll copy a set, and it doesn't take much time. I just want to practice calligraphy." Zhang Anchu stopped again, I don't want her to spend this wrong money.

After hearing what she said, Aunt Bai compromised.

The shopkeeper took out the paper, there were a dozen thick ones, but Zhang Anchu looked at it, and compared it with the Four Books and Five Classics, it was still not thick enough, and said, "There are so many more."

"Okay, do you want pens, inks, papers and inkstones?" the shopkeeper asked. He thought that the guest would be more generous if he had a servant girl, but he didn't expect to be so stingy.

When Zhang Anchu asked him to take the paper, he knew that she wanted to copy the book.

However, at any rate, I sold so much paper, which can be regarded as earning a lot of money. By the way, I would like to ask if I need a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, because copying books is very expensive.

"No need, I have it at home." Zhang Anchu doesn't lack this, Aunt Bai also has a set, it's enough.

"Okay." The shopkeeper took out another stack of papers from the cabinet and handed it to Zhang Anchu's maid, Siyu took it in her hands first.

At this moment, Zhang Hongze came to Zhang Anchu with a book, holding the book high with both hands.

Zhang Anchu and Aunt Bai were talking just now, but they didn't pay attention to Zhang Hongze. Unexpectedly, they found a book from the bookshelf.

Zhang Anchu took the book, looked at the name of the book, and drew a picture of the Luban Sutra?
She knew that Zhang Hongze liked to do some carpentry and made a lot of things, so Zhang Anchu bought him tools because of this.

Zhang Anchu opened the drawing of the Luban Sutra, which contained half pictures, half text, and many detailed pictures. Although he was illiterate, he was very good at reading pictures.

It is estimated that Zhang Hongze opened it casually and found that it was a book about carpentry, so he showed it to Zhang Anchu.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this book?" Zhang Anchu was really a spoiled kid, since he liked it, he bought it for him.

The shopkeeper glanced at the title of the book and knew it wasn't a commonly used book, so he said, "Give me half the money."

Even the shopkeeper forgot that there was such a book in the bookstore. Ordinary scholars would not buy this kind of book, so no one would ask about it. After a long time, they would have forgotten it long ago and left dust in the corner.

Zhang Anchu blew on the paper through the veil, and the dust that fell on it was blown up.

"Shopkeeper, this book has a thick layer of ashes. It looks like it has been placed in a corner for a long time. No one wants it. Two hundred Wen, can you sell it?" Zhang Anchu tentatively bargained, and the two hundred Wen Those three words almost made the shopkeeper vomit blood.

He seldom receives female clients, mostly male clients. Even if there are many poor scholars, they don't bargain like this.

"Guest, don't joke with me, how can you bargain like this? It's understandable if you cut it in half, but it's a bit too much to cut it lower than half!"
