Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 367
No, no, she must be thinking too much, that golden lock belongs to her brother, and her father didn't sell it, just because she wanted to keep it in mind.After walking around the noisy street, Wen Shu's heart gradually calmed down.

Father treats her so well, she is his own!No one said it was useless.

"A-Ning, A-Ning, look."

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt that Wang Ling was pulling her arm. Following her line of sight, she saw a bookstall.

The bookstall is not big, but it is full of piles of books, many of the pages are curled and yellowed, they should be old books collected from somewhere.

Standing in front of the stall with his back to them was a scholar in a shirtless shirt, who should not be very old from the back.

"Don't you like reading, do you want to go and have a look?"

Wen Shu glanced at her, then at the scholar, and nodded amusedly.

Anyway, she was looking for a book, so it's okay to read it.

Although it is unlikely that there is "Meng Kuo Bi Tan" on that small stall, there are no absolutes in the world.

If what Mr. Zhao said is true, and he really picked up the first volume of "Meng Kuo Bi Tan" on the street, then it is not impossible for her to find the second volume and the second volume from small book stalls.

"Ancient books and old treasures with [-] cents a piece, you can choose whatever you want, do you two ladies need recommendations?" As soon as the two stepped forward, they were greeted with a warm greeting by the stall owner.
"Do you have notes for chatting?" Wen Shu cut to the chase.

"Yes, yes, the little lady is here. What I do most is chatting with notes." The stall owner removed the top two stacks of books on the right hand side, revealing the piles of notes below, "Here, these are all Yes, little lady can choose slowly."

After some movement, the little man who was reading next to him was startled, and the other party looked at him curiously, and then found that he was an acquaintance.

"Sister Wen?" The other party was surprised.

Wen Shu didn't expect that the person standing in front of the bookstall was actually Sun Xing, if she had known she would not have come here.

"So it's Mr. Sun, what a coincidence." She nodded politely.

"Wen's younger sister also came to buy books?"

"Well, just take a look." Wen Shu didn't want to talk to him, so he answered very perfunctorily.To save his mother from going crazy again, thinking that everyone likes her son.

Over there, Sun Xing wanted to say something more, but Wen Shu had already picked up a book from the stack pointed by the stall owner and was reading it.

Seeing this, Sun Xing could only swallow his words back.

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Wen Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully flipped through the pages in his hand.While she was reading, Wang Ling at the side was not idle, and she pretended to pick up a book and flip through it in her hand.

In fact, he was observing Sun Xing at the side. Hearing what they said just now, they seem to know each other?

But why Aning never mentioned it to her.

Judging by his clothes, he should be a scholar.I don't know whether I entered serious Taixue, or miscellaneous subjects such as mathematics and jurisprudence.She can be regarded as gentle and handsome in appearance, if it is not someone that Aning likes, she can get in touch with him well.

Compared to marrying an ordinary businessman's family, scholars who may become Jinshi in the future will be more desirable to her.

While she was thinking secretly, Wen Shu had quickly finished all the notes and books on the other side.What disappointed her was that although there were many notes here, there were not many valuable things.

Not to mention her goal "Meng Kuo Bi Tan", there is not even a book that can be exchanged for one or two hundred points.

It seems that there is little hope of finding the other two volumes at the small stall.

After closing the last book, Wen Shu's mind suddenly resounded when she went out, and her father's words "go out" couldn't help but her heart shuddered.

How did her father know they were going out?
He wouldn't have heard it all.

Thinking of this, Wen Shu dropped the book and ran away, startling Wang Ling who was still observing Sun Xing.

"Hey, why are you going?"

"I have something to do, go home." Wen Shu said without looking back.

While speaking, the person had already ran across the street and turned into an alley.

"Sister Wen's family left in such a hurry, what happened?" Looking at the direction Wen Shuyuan was walking, Sun Xing asked Wang Ling beside him.

"I don't know." Wang Ling shook her head blankly, and immediately asked Sun Xing next to her, "Mr. Lang and Wen Shu know each other?"

She usually calls Wen Shu's boudoir name Aning, but now she is facing a foreigner. Before she knows how good their relationship is, it would be dangerous for her to casually reveal Wen Shu's boudoir name.

"Well, my second uncle lives in Xiaocha Lane, and is a neighbor of the Wen family. I have met the sister of the Wen family a few times."

"Oh, so that's the case." No wonder Wen Shu's attitude towards him just now was not affectionate, and he even avoided suspicion.

It turned out that it was just a casual acquaintance, no wonder I didn't mention it to her.

"I don't know who the young lady is."

"Wen Shu and I are handkerchief friends, and we grew up together."

"Does the lady live in Xiaocha Lane too? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Oh, I don't live in Xiaocha Lane. But it's not far away, it's in the next lane."

Knowing that it is necessary to guard against others, Wang Ling kept an eye out and did not report the exact location of her home.

"Little lady likes to read too." Sun Xing glanced at the book in her hand.

Wang Ling is in very good condition today, and her facial features are not bad. With the blessing of her good complexion, she looks like a peach blossom, youthful and lively, which makes Sun Xing's heart agitated.

Looking at her flipping through the book again, I thought she was also literate, and I felt a layer of joy in my heart.

But Wang Ling is actually illiterate at all, so why would she like to read?
But in front of foreign men, especially in front of scholars, I don't want to lose my status and let the other party look down on me.He faltered and said: "If you don't read much, you should read some books that can read."

As he said, he handed the book in his hand to the stall owner, "I want this one."

Sun Xing thought she was embarrassed, but seeing that the book she handed over was "Book of Songs", he felt that she was being modest.

Wang Ling didn't know that a book she picked up casually would leave such a "beautiful" misunderstanding in Sun Xing's eyes.

In fact, she didn't buy books purely to earn face in front of others, but also because she really wanted to study hard and learn to read.

Although she didn't recognize it, Ah Ning did.Later, she bought the books back and asked Aning to teach one or two every day, she would definitely not refuse.

In fact, Ah Ning had offered to teach her how to read many times, but at that time she was so absorbed in the study of rouge and gouache, and felt that it was useless to know only a few characters, so she refused.

Thinking about it now, it was a big mistake.

Although reading and literacy is brain-intensive, it can be useful if you learn it well.

Not only is it far away, but it is close. Not only can you keep accounts, but you can even marry. This little lady who can read is more popular than a little lady who can't read.

Not to mention, she herself wants to marry a scholar.I don't know a single word, how will I communicate with my husband in the future.

As she got older, Wang Ling became more and more aware of the benefits of reading, especially after Wen Shu went to school, she felt that she was much better.

The reason why she took this book was because she had read it in Wen Shu's bookcase, and Ah Ning told her at that time that the book was called "The Book of Songs".

It's just that she wasn't interested in books at the time, so she didn't ask what the books were about.

If she had asked at that time, I am afraid that she might not have the courage to take this book now.
