Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 214.
On the day the bandits were escorted to Lingbei, the city was very lively.

The people in Fucheng lined the road and pointed at the bandits. If it wasn't for the disaster year, they might throw out a lot of vegetable leaves and rotten eggs to show their hospitality.

As expected, the name Shenjiacun became popular.

"Shenjia Village? Is that a small dilapidated village twenty miles outside the city?!"

"Isn't that just an ordinary place at the foot of Shennong Mountain, which managed to take down so many bandits?"

"God, are you sure you're right?"

Simply unheard of!

If the fifth prince led troops to suppress the mountain bandits, they would believe it, even if the city defenders did more or less, they would believe it, but the villagers?

When did the villagers have such a high standard?
Don't be an ass on me!
The people were stunned, and they all speculated what kind of energy that village had that could make more than 200 bandits stumble.

Some people say that there is a martial arts master living in it, and one person's strength can be worth a thousand troops. Some people say that there is a hermit poison doctor there. If you sprinkle a handful of poison, everyone will fall down. Drop a few people and spit it out.
Facts have proved that once the brains of the ancients are wide open, there is nothing wrong with modern people.

"What the hell is it to swallow and then spit it out? What kind of monster would spit out what it eats?"

Cheng Xi was very speechless, this was the first time she heard such a statement.

outrageous.

Shen Xingluo actually agreed with her thoughts, "Maybe the monsters also despise the mountain bandit's teeth."

"." Scarface was sure to cry when he heard these words.

The two sides of the main street of Lin'an Mansion gradually returned to their former prosperity, and many stall owners re-opened their stalls to sell things in exchange for money. The two rarely had time to wander around the city, and they were not in a hurry along the way, stopping and buying a few gadgets.

"The Huaiyuan Bookstore is ahead, do you want to go in and take a stroll?"

"Go, I was in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to read Dayan Chao's books."

When the young couple walked into the bookstore, shopkeeper Zhao was stunned for a moment when he saw Shen Xingluo, and then he reacted with joy.

"Young Master Shen, is your body recovering?"

"It's ready, please trouble shopkeeper Zhao to think about it."

"Young Master Shen hasn't come for some time."

Cheng Xi took advantage of the conversation between the two of them and turned into the side for a stroll, stopping and stopping in front of several bookshelves to read books from time to time.

There were two kinds of officials selected in the Great Yan Dynasty, one was recommended by aristocratic families, and the other was selected by imperial examinations.

Although the change of dynasties in this era is different from that in China, there are still some things that are inherited in one continuous line.

In front of the bookshelf, she found familiar books such as Four Books and Five Classics, Hundred Surnames, and Thousand Characters, and of course there were also a few books related to enlightenment and imperial examinations that she had never seen before.

"This is an ancient book from the previous dynasty."

Shen Xingluo had finished exchanging greetings with shopkeeper Zhao, and walked to her side to look at the simple book in her hand.

"No wonder the color is so old-fashioned, do you want to buy it?"

"No, it's already recorded at home."

Cheng Xi nodded. The bookshelf in front of the two of them was clearly different from the others. Most of the books were old but well preserved, which was enough to show that the owner attached great importance to them.

"This bookshelf is full of ancient books? Why are there so many?"

"There are a lot of scholarly families in Lin'an Prefecture, and there are many families who have fallen into poverty. The shopkeeper Zhao of Huaiyuan Bookstore is a person who loves books, and the price he gives is the most reasonable."

Therefore, many people are willing to hand over their family fortunes here even if they have no money on hand.

Cheng Xi glanced at him upon hearing this.

There was an imperial examination every three years in the Great Yan Dynasty. Needless to say, the capital was rich in outstanding students. If you only look at the previous results, Lin'an Prefecture is enough to compete with the capital. It is enough to see the background of the scholars in Lin'an Prefecture.

To put it bluntly, this is a place where academic masters gather, and their reputation is more prosperous than that of Jiangnan.

And Shen Xingluo can stand out among the top scholars at a young age, and his ability is definitely at the ceiling level.

No wonder Zhou Xuzhi wanted to get rid of it quickly.

"Now that we have silver on hand, how many copies do you want to buy?"

"Is there anything Ma'am would like to see?"

"." There really are.

Cheng Xi selected a few books that he had never heard of, and the content covered a wide range of topics, including astronomy, geography and travel notes, but in the end, Shen Xingluo didn't read any of them.

When it was time to check out, shopkeeper Zhao was in a good mood with a smile, but his eyes stayed on the scar on the side of Shen Xingluo's face for a moment, showing a bit of regret.

"Mr. Shen, these four books total 83 taels. Thank you for your patronage."

Shen Xingluo paid the money, and the two walked out of the bookstore, Cheng Xi looked dreamy.

"How is this account calculated? There are two ancient books in the four books?"

"One book is 30 taels, one book is 50 taels, and the remaining two books are two taels and one taels."

The most valuable are ancient books.

Ordinary books are not very valuable. Of course, this valuelessness is also for scholars. In fact, one tael of silver is enough for an ordinary farmer's expenses for half a year.

"But I remember that the ancient book you planned to sell a few years ago was worth 200 taels?"

"Ma'am, that book is 500 years old."

Cheng Xi was shocked, "Your Shen family has a lot of background?"

Shen Xingluo had no choice but to say, "The Shen family is one of the scholarly families in Lin'an Mansion who have fallen into decline."

"."

Should I accept this or not?
Along the way, Cheng Xi got to know the history of the Shen family well, but the original body didn't know about it before, maybe because Cheng Daqian didn't care, so naturally he didn't tell his daughter.

Shen Xingluo himself is not talkative, not to mention that things like family fortune are not pleasant to talk about, and in the end it caused Cheng Xi's eyes to turn dark.

"So the Shen family has a history of hundreds of years in Lin'an Mansion, and how many officials were there in the previous dynasty?"

Shen Xingluo nodded, "Da Yan's dynasty has only been established for a hundred years. When the Shen family saw the turbulent situation, they decided to withdraw from the officialdom at the right time. This is how the entire Shen family was saved."

"No wonder the Shen family ancestral hall can be built so big."

Dare to Love People really has a lot of background.

Over the past hundred years, although the Shen family has not been as brilliant as before, at least they have saved their lives.

Cheng Xi finally understood why Shen Xingluo kept insisting that Shenjia Village should not be collapsed. It turned out that this was not just for the sake of the clan's face, but to continue a family.

Since the two of them entered Fucheng, they went directly to Cheng's house at noon to have a reunion dinner with Cheng Daqian.

Since the land reclamation business in Shenjia Village was in full swing, Shen Xingqi voluntarily signed up to help, and stayed in the ancestral hall to cook for everyone with Aunt Cuihua.

Accompanying his wife back to the door, of course, will not be empty-handed.

Shen Xingluo deliberately chose a spirit from the grassland from the space, and put it in the ancient version of the wine jar as a gift.

Cheng Daqian fell in love with it just by smelling it. After a meal, even his favorite food can only take the second place.

"Father, isn't Hongwei Escort busy these days?"

"What are you busy with? Most of the darts in the escort agency have stopped since the Chinese New Year."

Cheng Daqian sighed, "It's not easy for you, Uncle Chen. A lot of people were lost in the two escort trips a year ago. Now the road is full of extremely hungry victims, so it's not suitable to go on the road."
