The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 9 Chapter 9
About half an hour later, Zhang Chuyang came back. When he saw Fu Xuechen, he took out a stack of chat books from his arms. They were all hand-copied thin volumes. There are so many words, just 100 words, Fu Xuechen feels that he can read a book in less than a quarter of an hour.

"I don't know if Yuchen has seen these, but they are said to be the latest ones." Zhang Chuyang explained.

Fu Xuechen didn't know if Fu Yuchen had read it, so he picked up a book and flipped through it. There was no title on the cover, and other than that, at first glance, it looked very similar to those collections of classics and history. On the top, I saw the title of the book is "The Story of the Spirit of the Mountain - Fairy Fox", and then there is the half-literal and half-white text. hiding from the rain...

Fu Xuechen felt that he couldn't bear to read this story. Let's not talk about the mediocre beginning of the story, but the beginning of the story is similar to Journey to the West, with a few half-understood seven-character poems, and then an introduction to mountains and rivers and geography. She really couldn't appreciate the way it was written.

There are also characters, the characters are teeny-headed lowercase, but no matter how small they are, they are two circles larger than the printed characters of later books, and they are hand-copied. No matter how high the average calligraphy skills of scholars in this era are, it cannot guarantee that everyone's characters are neat nice.

The level of brush calligraphy in this book is very average, so there is no alteration, and one or two characters are used in it. Fu Xuechen is not sure whether it is a fake character or copied the wrong word, so he has to make the mistake.

Read the next book again, it’s still <Shan Ling Ji>, this time the story is called Monkey Taoist, and then read another book, it’s different, it’s called <Lu Shiyu>, it seems to be a case-solving story at the beginning, read another book, It's called "Exchanging Handkerchiefs and Presenting Jade", and at the beginning it is about a boudoir girl who was called by her mother and told her that her cousin would come to stay with her and was preparing for the exam... Then I read another book called "Lv Yidao", it seems to be a story Young man, born in a farming family, good at martial arts...

Fu Xuechen felt that it was amazing. I didn't expect that in this era, the subject matter of this book is quite rich, there are supernatural, case-solving, gifted scholars and beauties, and knight-errants?It's just a little short, the length of the story is similar to that of a short story, and it's very unreadable.

Zhang Chuyang asked from the side: "Has Yuchen seen it? If so, you can return it."

"I want it all! How much is the total?" Fu Xuechen was very straightforward. As a daughter of the Hou family, she had a lot of pocket money, not to mention that Fu Yuchen would pay for it afterwards.

"Twelve taels." Zhang Chuyang quoted.

Fu Xuechen counted, there are ten volumes of story books, exactly one tael of silver a volume, a bit expensive, probably because of the hand-written version and the small number of pages, if it is a printed copy in the book market, many more pages will be printed, and because of the batch Printing lowers the price. Generally, thirty dollars can buy a thick volume.

After paying the bill with Zhang Chuyang, Zhang Chuyang naturally put the money in his arms, and was not polite to Fu Xuechen. It can be seen that he had already paid the money in advance when he brought these words, and he did not intend to pay for Fu Xuechen. Meaning, I just told Fu Xuechen a few words: "Be careful of eye fatigue when reading at night, and don't sneak into the night to affect your rest."

"I can save it!"

Fu Xuechen agreed, but she thought in her heart that she must tell Fu Rong to keep a close eye on Fu Yuchen, and don't tell him to become short-sighted because of reading. Fortunately, Fu Rong was originally her personal servant girl, and she will come back to her sooner or later. Dare not to listen to her, with Fu Rong staring at her, Fu Yuchen is useless even if he is the young master, he can't control Fu Rong.

Back to the mansion after school, there was still a short time before Jingbei Hou went down to court, and the dinner party in Fu's mansion was still a short time away. Fu Xuechen took the opportunity to go to the Qingtong Courtyard to meet Fu Yuchen with the scriptures, waved away the servants, and threw away the ten volumes gave him.

"The scripts you want, I only found so many for the time being."

"That's all?" Fu Yuchen was a little dissatisfied.

Fu Xuechen ignored him, and stretched out his hand: "Give me the money, a total of ten taels."

"I've read <Lu Yidao>!" Fu Yuchen flipped through the script.

"That's none of my business. Whether you've seen it or not, you have to pay. No haggling, no second price."

Fu Yuchen was speechless: "I'll give you everything I can."

He is not stingy when it comes to money, because he wants to study and make friends, he gets much more pocket money than Fu Xuechen every month, so he immediately took out a small ingot of ten taels of silver from his purse and gave it to Fu Xuechen.

"The Tale of the Mountain Spirit has come out with a new edition!" Fu Yuchen muttered excitedly. He couldn't put it down and picked out the two books of "The Legend of the Mountain Spirit" and stuffed them under the pillow before reading other books.

Fu Xuechen looked at him amusedly: "It seems that you like Liaozhai's supernatural novels... Well, the story book."

"What Liaozhai?" Fu Yuchen was puzzled.

Yes, there is no Liaozhai in this time and space, so Fu Xuechen changed the saying: "It's just a storybook about mountain spirits and ghosts."

"Who doesn't like this, "Shan Ling Ji" is the most popular book in Guozixue." Fu Yuchen rolled his eyes.

"Really? I don't look very good." Fu Xuechen couldn't help asking: "Have you seen Xiaocui? Where is Lu Juan? Have you ever heard of a Chinese Ghost Story?"

"What are you talking about?" Fu Yuchen couldn't understand, but felt that Fu Xuechen was showing off, and stared at her firmly.

"Haha!" Fu Xuechen was a little proud after all: "I have read the script, it is not as wonderful as you can imagine, the few I just mentioned are just a little bit of it, not even the tip of the iceberg!"

This is not a lie. In her previous life, she had a wide range of hobbies, especially reading novels. She has read almost all genres of novels, ranging from classics at home and abroad, down to the latest Internet original hits, and some hundreds of novels at every turn. Compared with novels with tens of millions of words, the number of words in the short stories of Liao Zhai is extremely small. Let alone the tip of the iceberg, it is simply a small stone on the iceberg.

Fu Yuchen didn't believe it: "I've never heard of any scripts you've read, and if you can buy them from the market, I can buy them too. There can be no mistakes or omissions, let alone the scripts you haven't seen in Guozixue. , I have seen much more than you, you are talking nonsense!"

Fu Xuechen choked, she really couldn't show the evidence that she had read many novels and stories, she snorted, rolled her eyes, and said: "Where do I read it, it's like Lu Pan's story, I guarantee you haven't read it!"

"Try to listen to it?" Fu Yuchen urged.

"Okay! Listen!" Fu Xuechen wanted to show off, and immediately told the story of Liaozhai Lupan: "It is said that there is a Confucian student named Zhu Erdan in Lingyang. He is not very good at reading, but he is bold and forthright. I love to drink, and I often hang out with friends to drink..."
