Chapter 58

Before going back, the two went to Qingyi Zhai.

Boss Yan was not there, and Gu Shi was familiar with the people inside. As soon as he stepped in, a young man greeted him: "Brother Gu, Brother Heizi didn't come here just a while ago to help you get two volumes of books." Go back and copy it? Copy it so quickly?"

Just now when Gu Shi came, this guy was arranging the books in the back, so he didn't know that he had been here before, so he asked such a question.

Gu Shi slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, thankful that he confessed to Lin Baobao about copying books, and Heizi's matter is not difficult to explain...

However, he hadn't given up on this thought yet, when the guy continued to joke: "I heard little brother Heizi say that it's inconvenient for you to come to town after you're married, and your new wife is still a tigress, so you are so tightly controlled..."

The man's words stopped abruptly when he saw Baobao Lin behind Gu Shi. He looked at Gu Shi and then Baobao Lin: "This, who is this?"

Gu Shi held his forehead and was about to speak.

Lin Baobao glanced at him with a half-smile: "I am Ah Shi's new daughter-in-law." The tigress in your mouth.

Behind his back, he said that the person was caught on the spot, and the guy's face was covered with embarrassment visible to the naked eye: "I, I..."

Lin Baobao walked in directly: "Let's buy some paper, pen and ink."

"Yes, yes." The buddy was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and he stuttered to introduce them to the two.

The money spent by scholars does not only refer to the cost of repairs and imperial examinations, but the largest expenditure is consumables such as paper, pen and ink.

Paper and pen and ink are both good and bad. After listening to his introduction, Baobao Lin ordered a thick stack of the cheapest yellow paper, plus one of the most common inkstones, ten inferior brushes and a pack of broken ink.

The so-called broken ink refers to ink ingots that were accidentally broken, and the book shop would pack some badly broken ink sticks in oiled paper and sell them to poor students at a low price.

"I don't need so many pens and paper." Gu Shi reminded.

Lin Baobao didn't even look at him: "These are not for you."

Gu Shi turned his head away in embarrassment.

The clerk gave him a sympathetic look, seeing how humble Gu Xiaoge is, he doesn't even need the worst ones.

After the buddy finished packing the things, Lin Baobao asked him to take another stack of rice paper and a set of better-quality pen, ink and inkstone, and explained when he turned his head to look at each other: "Those are for Da Mao and the others to practice calligraphy, and these are for you. "

After so many days, Da Mao and the others have already memorized the "Three Character Classic", and they have to keep up with their writing.

In fact, if it wasn't for the lack of money, Lin Baobao still wanted to send them to school.

Not for the imperial examination, but just to let them have more choices in the future.

Gu Shi was taken aback: "I can use yellow paper..."

Lin Baobao glared at him, and Gu Shi suddenly stopped talking.

The sympathy in the buddy's eyes turned into envy. He also wanted such a tigress who was willing to spend money for himself.

After buying it, Lin Baobao spent nearly five renminbi of silver. Although she paid for it with ease, her heart was bleeding.

For five renminbi, you can buy better meat alone.

It's no wonder that nowadays scholars are precious, they are all piled up with silver, can they not be expensive?
The two of them finished shopping and were about to leave when Boss Yan just came back from the outside.

Gu Shi greeted him.

It could be seen that Gu Shi respected Boss Yan very much, and Baobao Lin also called "Uncle Yan".

Boss Yan nodded with a smile, and asked Gu Shi's school if he was sure. Knowing that Gu Shi could go to class tomorrow, he said with relief, "Read hard, and don't disappoint your father's expectations of you."

Gu Shi lowered his eyes: "I will."

The fate of Gu Shi and Qing Yizhai actually has to start with Gu Dalang.

Gu Dalang has seen the world outside, and he knows that the children of families with some background start enlightenment at the age of three. Gu Shina was in poor health and couldn't go to the private school, so he taught himself and bought copybooks for him to copy.

After coming and going, the father and son became frequent visitors of Qingyi Zhai.

It is no exaggeration to say that Boss Yan watched Gu Shi grow from a small bean to the boy he is today.

It is also because of this that after Gu Dalang left, Boss Yan took the initiative to ask him to help copy the books, and it was also with the intention of taking care of him.

Gu Shi wanted to study, so it would not be appropriate to wear short brown. When he came out of Qingyizhai, Lin Baobao took him to Yunxiufang.

She has 15 taels of silver on hand. In addition to making clothes for Gu Shi, she is also planning to dress everyone in the family.

"Come here, let's take a look by yourself first." Mrs. Yao was a little busy, so she hurriedly said and went to entertain other guests.

After Lin Baobao chose the cloth, Lady Yao happened to be sending off the last guest. Seeing that she was carrying coarse cloth, she sneered and said, "I'm not willing to buy some good cloth to make clothes after making money."

Lin Baobao was helpless: "There are many people in the family."

In fact, clothes made of coarse cloth are more suitable for working, wear-resistant and breathable.

Lady Yao clicked her tongue and said nothing.

When Lin Baobao finished paying the bill, she took out a big package from under the counter and gave it to her: "Don't say my sister doesn't think about you."

Guessing that there were rags inside, Lin Baobao smiled sweetly at her: "Thank you sister Yao."

"Don't just say that, if you really want to thank me, let Yueniang embroider a few more pieces." Lady Yao drank her saliva: "Recently, many people have come to ask about silk flowers, if you can do it over there, you can send some to sell first. "

"it is good."

While the two of them were saying these few words, another guest came in.

"Sister Yao, should you consider hiring a helper?" Lin Baobao asked.

Mrs. Yao waved her hand: "If you have a suitable one, introduce it."

Lin Baobao nodded to indicate that he had written it down.

I bought a lot of things today, and when I went back, Lin Baobao rented an ox cart.

On the way, a carriage came oncoming, and Baobao Lin recognized it as the Liu family's carriage at a glance.

In the carriage, the red sleeves put down the curtain that was rolled up for ventilation, and said angrily: "Unlucky."

Liu Qiaohui's complexion was also ugly, the only embroidery workshops that could be named in Taohua Town were Yunxiufang and her Huixin Embroidery Workshop.

The two stores have always been in competition.

With great difficulty, she used her experience in her previous life to attract customers with new clothes. She didn't want Yunxiufang to get Suzhou embroidery and some new silk flowers from somewhere.

The business of Yunxiufang is good, but the business of her shop is naturally bad.

However, in her previous life, she only stayed in the capital for a year before being sent back to Taohua Town. After returning, food and clothing became a problem, so why would she pay attention to these things?
The few styles in my mind have been used up, and it is impossible to repeat the old tricks.

These days, she has been asking people to find out who the newly hired embroiderer of Yunxiufang is, thinking of digging it out at a high price, and only now did she know that those embroidery products were actually made by Lin Baobao's third sister-in-law, and even those silk flowers were also made by Lin Baobao. Made it.

However, what made her most angry was that Lin Baobao used the cloth that was taken from her to do these things.

What is she?Shoot yourself in the foot?
Liu Qiaohui almost vomited to death.

Hong Xiu suddenly gasped: "Isn't that Mr. Du?"

When Liu Qiaohui came back to her senses, she realized that the carriage had entered Taohua Town at some point.

There were so many people in the town that the speed of the carriage slowed down. She followed Hongxiu's line of sight, and at a glance she saw Du Mingran who was supporting a drunken old man with a sullen face not far ahead.

Hongxiu showed sympathy on his face: "Young Master Du is also pitiful, he was kicked out of the academy, so he can only..."

"Shut up." Liu Qiaohui suddenly snapped.

Pitiful?Because of this person in her previous life, she didn't even want Brother Xiao?But for him, killing someone for a younger sister whose innocence has been ruined, disregarding her as a newlywed wife, and just kicking him out of the academy is taking advantage of him.

But it doesn't matter, his retribution is yet to come.
