Small peasant girl

Chapter 1380 Reaching the Bookstore
The largest bookstore in Muzhou Mansion is located in the east of the city, almost out of the city.

Out of the urban area, there are many plants and trees here, and the road is wide, but it is a dirt road with potholes.

Fortunately, this section of the road is not long, only more than two miles.

The bookstore is very big, as high as a five-story building, and each floor has an area of ​​about [-] square meters.

In front of the bookstore is a small square, where many carriages are parked, and there is also a row of merchants.

Most of them buy paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and there are two small restaurants and teahouses. Because they do business in front of the bookstore, most of the people who come here are scholars, so the place is not noisy.

Few girls came to the bookstore, so when Su Jinxia got out of the carriage, it attracted the attention of many people. Su Jinxia had long been accustomed to this, and ignored the gazes of these people. She and Chen Yiming went directly into the bookstore.

As soon as she entered, Su Jinxia saw rows of bookshelves, and was about to go inside when she was stopped by a little book boy at the door.

The little book boy was twelve or thirteen years old, he was chubby, and he was dressed plainly. He should be a child from a poor family who came here to find work.

The little book boy was very polite, as soon as Su Jinxia stopped, he asked respectfully: "Is the girl here to read, borrow books, or buy books?"

"I'm here to read, and I might borrow books. If I find something I like, I might buy it home." Su Jinxia was very polite to him when he heard his question, and replied with a smile. .

I thought that after answering his words, there would be a surprised expression on the little book boy's face, but who knew, the little book boy just gave her a faint look, stretched out his hand and said: "The girl, please come with me."

After speaking, he left first and led Su Jinxia to a long table at the corner.

"Confucius, this girl is here to read books. She said that it is possible to borrow books, and it is also possible to buy books."

As soon as the little book boy got there, he opened his mouth and said, he turned and left.

He still has a small face, but he is young and mature.

"Girl, please sit down, I'll give you a boarding pass, you pay a tael first."

As soon as the little book boy left, Confucius glanced at Su Jinxia, ​​said something indifferent, lowered his head, took out an apricot-colored wooden tablet and put it on the table, and then dipped a pen in the inkstone. dipped in ink.

Seeing this, Su Jinxia sat down.

As soon as she sat down, the Confucius just glanced at her, then stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers.

The meaning to be expressed is self-evident.

Su Jinxia clicked her tongue and withdrew a tael of silver from her purse.

"One tael of silver is used as a deposit to borrow books from our bookstore, but only one book can be borrowed at a time. As long as the books are not damaged, they can be borrowed forever."

"Of course, if you read books in the bookstore, all books are free. As for buying books, the price is clearly marked. You have to pay as much as we want, and there is no bargaining."

That Confucius spoke and acted neatly, as soon as Su Jinxia handed over the money, he immediately explained to Su Jinxia the rules here.

However, this rule is quite good.

In this way, it can benefit many scholars, especially those who cannot afford to read.

Paying a tael of silver and being able to read a lot of books is not only a good deal, the owner of this bookstore is simply doing charity.

"Okay, now girl, can you tell me your name?"

Confucius had been writing for a long time, but when he saw that the girl across from her was silent and seemed to be ignorant of the rules, he reminded her.
