Chapter 856
"Ah, you didn't say it earlier." Badama hurriedly said to Mu Xiang beside him, "Have you brought any money? Otherwise, go back and get it!"

Everyone was amused by her eagerness.Mao Tongtong said: "Don't worry about ten Fujin, let's play small. If you don't have any money, I can lend it to you first."

But Badama waved his hand and said, "That's not okay. Since it's a lottery, you can't borrow it, it will affect your luck."

"Yo, you still believe this!" Mao Tongtong laughed.

"That's it!" Badama looked at Mu Xiang again and asked, "How much silver did you bring?"

"The servant only brought some broken silver, about a few tens of taels." Mu Xiang replied.He was just hanging out on the boat next door, not going out to buy things, so naturally he wouldn't bring much money.

"Ten taels are enough." Si Fujin said hurriedly.She was afraid that if she spoke slowly, Badama would send the maid back to get the money.

"A few dozen taels is enough?" Badama asked in disbelief.

"We're not gambling, it's just that it's more fun to play a little lottery. Winning or losing a few dozen taels is fine." Mao Tongtong added from the side.

"Oh, that's fine." Badama nodded.

But Jiufujin looked thoughtfully at Mao Tongtong and then at Sifujin, without expressing any opinion.

Although they could not disembark, their lunch was richer than the previous few days.After all, it is docked, and the minions who buy it can also buy more fresh ingredients.

"Oh, this is the best meal I've eaten in a few days." Badama said.

As a child who grew up eating mutton and beef on the grasslands, the food in the capital made her feel like it opened the door to a new world.Seeing that she liked it, Master Shi asked the cooks in the mansion to cook it for her in different ways, causing her taste buds to become delicate quickly.

If it had been the time when she first came to the capital, the meal a few days ago would have been gourmet food, so she wouldn't be picky.

"When you go to Jiangnan, there will be more delicious food!" Sifujin laughed.

"Really?" Badama's eyes lit up.

"Yeah." Mao Tongtong nodded and said, "I'm from Yangzhou, and I can testify. There are a lot of delicacies in the south of the Yangtze River. They are much more exquisite than those in the capital!"

"Yes, southerners have always been better at eating than northerners." Si Fujin nodded.

"Then we really have to try it then!" Badama said.

For most people, food is an irresistible temptation, as long as it is discussed, it is a topic that can resonate.

The three of them were talking happily here, and Jiufujin was listening quietly and smiling.This made Mao Tongtong look at her twice more.What a quiet character!
"Why don't the nine younger brothers and sisters talk?" Si Fujin asked at this time.

"Ah?" Jiufujin was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly, "I heard what you said is very interesting."

"Then join in." Sifujin encouraged.

"I, I don't have as much knowledge as you guys." Jiufujin blushed slightly and said, "I'll just listen to what you say."

"Sister-in-law Nine, just chat casually, what insight do you want!" Badama said, "Just say what you think of! Look at me, I don't know anything about your Qing Dynasty, so I'm still talking here!"

"Ninth siblings are really shy." Si Fujin said with a slight smile.

Mao Tongtong nodded in agreement.With such a shy personality, he doesn't know what it's like to face Master Jiu.In my impression, Master Jiu is a somewhat arrogant and vicious person, probably he wouldn't like such a shy woman.

"Sister-in-law Jiu is not very talkative, but she has a good temper." Badama said now: "She patiently taught me how to play leaf cards yesterday!"

Mao Tongtong and Sifujin laughed together.People with such a shy temper usually have good patience.

"What do the nine younger brothers and sisters like to do to pass the time?" Si Fujin asked again.

She is the oldest among these few people, and she has the status of sister-in-law, so it seems that the elders care about the younger generation.

"It's just reading and embroidering, I can't do anything else." Jiu Fujin replied softly.

"The nine younger brothers and sisters can read!" Si Fujin was a little surprised.

After all, Manchurian women don't read much.Sanfujin Dong'e family is an exception.Unexpectedly, Jiufu Jin Dong E's would do it too.It seems that this is the tradition of Dong E's family?
"What books does Jiufu Jin like to read on weekdays? Do you have any good collections?" Mao Tongtong asked.

She is also a book lover.But in this era, there are not many books that can interest her to read.Most of what she read before was scripts.After getting acquainted with Si Fujin, I often borrow some travel notes from her to read.Now there is another person who loves to read, so she wants to expand the scope.

"There are more story books. Then there are some travel notes, strange stories and so on." Jiu Fujin said.

There was a box of books in her dowry, which was relatively rare.

"Huh, strange news and stories?" Mao Tongtong suddenly became interested.

"Haha, are you going to change books again?" Sifujin laughed.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't expose me so quickly!" Mao Tongtong said coquettishly.

"It just so happens that I change too. The books in my house are not new recently." Si Fujin said.

Only now did Jiufujin understand, and he couldn't help showing a bit of hesitation on his face.

"Don't worry, we are all book lovers." Si Fujin said.

Jiufujin smiled awkwardly, and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your understanding. Many of my books are orphans and cannot be bought outside. So, be more cautious."

"Ah, that's really rare." Mao Tongtong said.

Although printing has been invented in China long ago, books have always been owned by a small number of people in ancient times.It's not like the modern times will print a lot, as long as you spend money, you can buy it.Many people's books are collected and not circulated in the world.As for the so-called orphan copies, many of them are stored in the library of the big family, and outsiders can't see them at all.I didn't expect Dong E's to be able to bring out the marriage.

"Since this is the case, then let's not change it. Let's go directly to your house to have a look. We can hold regular reading clubs, get together to read books, drink tea, and chat, how about it?" Si Fujin said.

"Ah, this is great! We have read the book and have a party!" Mao Tongtong immediately clapped his hands in agreement, and said, "We can also take the book to Jiuye's house to exchange and read."

"Well, that's what I mean." Sifujin nodded.

"Well, I'm afraid I have to ask our master for instructions." Jiu Fujin hesitated.

In fact, she was quite willing.Although it was only a short time together, she already liked talking to Mao Tongtong and Si Fujin.Holding such a reading club is also an opportunity for everyone to communicate more.

Although she is shy and not very good at dealing with people, she is still moved by such a proposal.
