Fair Lady

The three members of the Xia family read and practice calligraphy, and the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones are consumed quickly. Shujie is going to buy them, and Shuyao and Shuwen are bothering to go together.

After explaining to Aunt Mei, Shujie took his two younger siblings to the street.

Xitang Street is not far from Bading Street, the main street of Yulin Town, and it only takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there.

Bading Street is also the most prosperous street in Yulin County, nearly twice as wide as other streets, with shops on both sides of the street.The best shops, restaurants, and inns in Yulin County are basically on Bading Street, so there are many pedestrians on the street.

Among these pedestrians, there are many outsiders who are busy in the world, or merchants who are used to selling goods from south to north.

Yulin County is located in the transportation fortress at the junction of the north and the south of Dazhou.Yulin has not only been a battleground for military strategists, but also a must-go place for merchants from the north and the south. There is also a large "barter center" in Yulin County, where merchants from all over the Zhou Dynasty often barter.

Therefore, although Yulin County is a small county, its economic prosperity is no less than that of Daming Prefecture, and many fashionable things are often passed from Yulin County to Daming Prefecture.

Walking on the street, Shujie held his younger siblings tightly, one on each side, and repeatedly told them to follow him closely and not to run around.There are many people on the street, and there are more people from other places. Children often get lost or abducted. What's more, his pair of precious siblings are beautiful, clever and cute.

When he arrived at "Moxiangzhai", Shujie quickly selected some suitable pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Because they bought a lot, and Shujie was also a regular customer of "Moxiangzhai", the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and asked the staff to deliver it to Xia's yard in a while.

Shuwen just started learning arithmetic, and Shujie customized a small abacus for him, saying that it will be ready in five days and delivered to the door.

In the corner of the shop was a pile of scattered books, full of dust.Shuyao glanced over, just when a gust of wind blew by, two pages of one of the books were lifted by the wind, Shuyao was immediately attracted to it, and squatted in front of the pile of books to pick up the book.

When I opened it, I found that it was indeed a copybook, and as Shuyao expected, it was the "small plum blossom characters" that emerged ten years later.

"Plum Blossom Small Characters" is a flower-shaped font. It is said to have been created by a talented woman who practiced in a mountain temple hundreds of years ago. It is characterized by the integration of flowers and Chinese characters, which skillfully blends characters and plum blossoms together.

This typeface is beautiful, but it is difficult to practice, difficult to write, and almost lost.In the previous life, Shuyao remembered that it suddenly appeared ten years later, but there were very few copybooks that could be found. It is said that there were no more than five copies in the whole Dazhou, and most of them were incomplete. They were all in the hands of those aristocratic families.

At that time, Sima Yan, one of the two beauties of the capital, wrote beautiful "small plum blossom characters". After Shuyao and Xue Minglang reconciled, they lived in the Marquis of Weiyuan for more than three months. Mrs. Hou's wife, Aunt Lan, held a "Plum Blossom Banquet" in the Hou's Mansion. At the banquet, the ladies from various families showed their skills. Sima Yan wrote a couplet in plum blossom fonts on the spot, which amazed the audience.

However, Shuyao overheard Sima Yan's sister-in-law, Mrs. An Guogong Shizi, tell Aunt Lan that there were only two-thirds of the small plum blossom copybooks in the An Guogong Mansion's collection, and the other third was torn away, so there were some words in her family. Sister-in-law still can't write well.

Now the "Plum Blossom Small Character" copybook in Shuyao's hand is a very complete original copybook, and it can be seen that it should be well protected before, flat and smooth, without curls and creases, but for some reason now Here it is, still full of dust.

Shuyao tentatively asked, "Uncle shopkeeper, are these books for sale?"

The shopkeeper glanced at it: "Those are old books that our buddy just picked up from the countryside, and we haven't had time to sort them out yet. If the little girl likes them, I'll give you 35 cents for one book. The one in your hand is thinner, so you can buy it." [-] texts. Recently, our store is short of manpower, so I really can’t take care of it.”

Shuyao was overjoyed, and hurriedly took another embroidery book that she had just found, and shouted to Shujie: "Brother, I want these two books, a total of 75 characters."

When the shopkeeper heard it, he smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Xia's younger sister. How about it, it's cheaper, just seventy Wen."

Shuyao wiped the two books clean with a handkerchief, and hugged her tightly. Seeing that her sister liked it so much, Shujie paid for it without caring what kind of book it was: "Then thank you shopkeeper."

It's also interesting. After Shuyao bought those two books, many people in the store walked over to pick them out as if they had just discovered the pile of books.You have two copies, I have three copies, the thick one is 35 Wen, and the thin one is [-] Wen.

When they collect books, they usually have a maximum of about [-] Wen per book.After it is returned, someone has to sort it out. If it is newer and the content is better, it will be [-] or [-] articles, and if it is not good, it will be [-] or [-] articles.Today is a good day, saving labor and earning money.In fact, it is so good to sell old books like this. I used to think that I could get some rare copies, masterpieces and so on and make a lot of money, but I have never come across one for so many years.Think about it too, those books are treasured up as treasures, who would accidentally sell them?

The three of Shujie walked out of "Moxiangzhai", and when they arrived at a corner, Shuyao stuffed the book into her arms and put it into the mahogany box.

Excited, Shuyao's little hands were still trembling a little, she couldn't help turning her head to look, afraid that someone would follow up and ask for the book back.

Shujie smiled and asked: "What? Yao'er still has books she wants to buy?"

Shuyao shook her head: "No, big brother, I still want to buy some needles and threads, so I can learn embroidery from Mrs. Jiujin." Now I have to find a reason to "learn" my embroidery skills.

"Okay, big brother will take you to buy it," Shujie agreed without hesitation, "Next time Uncle Zhang comes, big brother will ask him and Aunt Zhang to ask, find a embroiderer to teach you, come every hour for an hour Yes." From families with good conditions, the girls all have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, female celebrity, cooking skills... These are the capitals for future marriage discussions.

Shuyao was very happy: "Brother, can you find me an embroiderer who can do double-sided embroidery? My mother said that Jiangnan's double-sided embroidery is very good-looking." Come teach Yao.

Shuyao's embroidery skills in her previous life have reached the level of a top embroiderer, and she even has two unique skills --- flow color embroidery and "colorful" embroidery, but there is a double-sided embroidery that originated in the south of the Yangtze River that she doesn't know. I heard that many high-end embroiderers in the Jiangnan area can do it.

Shujie also remembered that Yen Zirou had mentioned Jiangnan Xiuniang, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's ask Aunt Zhang to find out. After a year, Big Brother will find you a female teacher or teach mother to come back."

My father always said before he was alive that a man should be raised roughly and a daughter should be raised delicately. He can go to school for books and he can also teach himself.Yao'er is the only daughter in their family and needs to be raised carefully.

The three brothers and sisters talked and laughed while walking towards "Yuncaifang". "Yuncaifang" is the largest and best embroidery workshop in Yulin County. The most neat embroidery thread and cloth.

When approaching "Yun Cai Fang", in the open space not far from the entrance of "Fu Yun Lai" Inn, surrounded by many people, Shu Jie subconsciously clenched the little hands of the two younger siblings.

A few spectators came out from the crowd, talking with a disdainful laugh:

"Hey, after all, isn't it just a drug seller? And you are so arrogant, saying that you have to sell pills because you have been stolen."

"That's right, what kind of famous doctor, a descendant of the Gao family in Nanyang? I've never seen medicine that can be made into pills like that. Who would dare to eat it? It's still so expensive?"

"Blow it, cheat money, do you believe it too?"

……

Shuyao's footsteps paused, a descendant of the Nanyang Gao family?Gao Mingde?
