peasant girl wedding

Chapter 85 Book Society
The boss wrapped the peach hairpin in a box and handed it to Tong Zhi'er.

"Is there anything else to choose?" Fang Cuiwei asked.

The boss also said eagerly: "Yes, girl, look at what else I want to buy here..."

Tong Zhier shook his head.

"Boss, how much money is it in total?"

"Five or two."

Fang Cui nodded slightly, took out her purse from her pocket, poured out five taels of silver and handed it to the boss.

The boss happily took it, watched Fang Cuiwei and the others leave, and shouted eagerly, "Madam, go slowly, come back to my place next time..."

Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er all bought something, Fang Cui looked down at Tong Zhaofu slightly, and asked with a smile, "Ah Fu, what do you want to buy?"

Tong Zhaofu stopped, pointed to the two big characters of the bookstore and said, "Mother, let's go in and have a look."

"Hey," Fang Cuiwei patted his youngest son's head, feeling happy.Ah Fu is really a child who loves to read. He is smart and interested, and he will definitely be successful in the future.

There were also many people in the bookstore. The book sellers warmly greeted Tong Zhixin and others when they saw Tong Zhixin and others coming in.

"What do you guys want to buy?"

"Where are the Four Treasures of the Study?"

"Here, everyone, please follow me." The young man stretched out his hand and led the people to the left, into an accordion.

There are several table cases in the Accord, and the four treasures of the study are laid out one by one on the table cases.

"What kind of material are your pens here?" Tong Zhi'er asked.

"The pens in our shop are made of various materials, such as rabbit fur, white wool, horse hair, deer hair, raccoon fur, rat tail, tiger hair, wolf tail, fox hair, and the pen tubes include water bamboo, chicken feather bamboo, mottled bamboo, red sandalwood wood, sandalwood, nanmu, rosewood, ivory, rhinoceros horn, jade and colored glaze, I don’t know which one the girl wants to see?”

When it comes to choosing a writing brush, Tong Zhi'er doesn't know anything about it, but she knows that the best brush is Hubi.

"Do you have lake pens for sale here?"

The boy's eyes lit up, "Of course there are. Do you want a sheep's hair, a wolf's hair, a double hair or a purple hair?"

"Give me a cock and a wolf."

"Okay, please wait a moment, girl, I'll bring you the pen you want right now."

The boy said and turned around to go outside.

Tong Zhaofu raised his head, looked at Tong Zhi'er, and asked, "Second Sister, why do you need two pens?"

"One is for you to learn and practice calligraphy now, and the other is for you to use after you finish learning."

Tong Zhaofu nodded.

"Zhi'er, how do you know so much?" Tong Zhixin asked, Fang Cuiwei also looked at her suspiciously.

coming----

Finally, such a question was asked.

Tong Zhaofu believed in what Tong Zhier said before that the old god taught the second sister many things in his dream, and he said, "I read the book and told the second sister."

Both Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei's eyes lit up, looking at Tong Zhaofu proudly.

Tong Zhi'er also nodded, and said to Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei with a smile: "Father, mother, Ah Fu is smart, and he can remember the books he has read without having to read them twice."

Tong Zhaofu's memory is really good, coupled with Tong Zhi'er's easy-to-understand explanations, it is even easier for Tong Zhaofu to remember the meaning of the words.

"Okay, Ah Fu is a good guy..."

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei were very happy. They knew that Tong Zhaofu was smart, but they didn't expect him to be so smart. He was only six years old. A six-year-old child has such understanding and memory. Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin were really amazed and proud.

"Girl, do you think so?"

The boy came over with two open boxes.

Tong Zhi'er picked it up and looked at it, then handed it to Tong Zhaofu, "Ah Fu, hold it in your hand and see if it's smooth or not?"

Tong Zhaofu rubbed it for a while, tried the feel, and said with joy: "Second sister, it's very comfortable."

"I just need these two pens."

"to make."

"How much is a piece of rice paper here?"

"Xuan paper costs ten coins a piece."

Tong Zhi'er secretly calculated, and said, "Bring me a hundred sheets of rice paper."

"Ok."

"For ink and inkstone, use ordinary ink and Duan inkstone."

"Sure, I'll pack everything the girl wants right now. Do you want anything else?"

"Are you selling pen holders and paperweights here?"

"Of course there are, please come here." The young man led Tong Zhi'er and the others out of the Accord on the left, entered the lobby of the bookstore, passed several rows of bookshelves, and entered a bookcase that was spread out on a large table. pen holder etc.

"This pen holder is beautiful, Ah Fu, do you like this one?" Tong Duo'er immediately fell in love with the white porcelain round pen holder with lotus flowers painted on it.

Tong Zhaofu nodded.

Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin also chose a rabbit-shaped paperweight and an arched bamboo armrest for Tong Zhaofu.

Tong Zhi'er picked out a brush washer, an ink case and an inkstone case, and finally everything was bought.

Buy Tong Zhaofu the four treasures of the study and other utensils, a total of 20 taels of silver.

This is not an astronomical figure for the Tong family who are now striving for a well-off life.Education in ancient times was not as developed and popular as it is now, which is inseparable from the price of educational equipment and the cost of studying.

"Father, mother..."

Tong Zhaofu blushed for spending too much money.

"Ah Fu, don't worry, things are getting better and better at home, you can just rest assured and study, and tell us what you want to buy, don't hide it."

It was agreed that Fang Cuiwei would buy things for the youngest son, but the things were too much, beyond what Fang Cuiwei could afford, so it was Tong Zhixin who took out his own money, and the two paid together.

"Father, mother, we have all the four treasures of the study, let's go buy a table case." After leaving the book club, Tong Zhi'er suggested.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei naturally agreed with this.

The family went to the carpenter, looked at the ready-made table case, but were not particularly satisfied, and finally made a decision to ask the carpenter to make a new table case out of pear blossom wood.

"What are they selling there? Why are there so many people?" Tong Zhi'er turned somewhere and asked in surprise.

"Go over and have a look, I'll wait for you here." Tong Zhixin said with too many things in his arms, and it was not easy to squeeze in with people.

Tong Zhi'er nodded, and went to the crowded place with Fang Cuiwei, Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu.

The inner three floors and the outer three floors were surrounded, and Tong Zhi'er and others couldn't squeeze in, so she glanced at the owner of a nearby shop and asked, "Shopkeeper, what do you sell there, why are there so many people? "

"That's a cotton seller. This cotton seller, he comes to the county every year at this time, and saves the cotton that was picked and cleaned last year until this year, so that he can sell it now."

"Huh? Why didn't he sell it back then, and insist on selling it now?"

"It was winter in the village where he lived, and it was too cold to go out, and after a winter's backlog, he had to deal with the cotton properly to maintain its current elasticity and fineness. The girl also wanted to Cotton? I have some cotton I just bought from him, let me show you..."

As the shopkeeper said, he unwrapped the cotton he bought.

Tong Zhi'er looked at it, and found that the cotton was very white and dry, and the quality was good to the touch.

After thanking the shopkeeper, Tong Zhi'er saw that there were fewer people buying cotton than before, so he dragged Fang Cuiwei to the front with difficulty.The man spread some cotton on the ground, and several bags were placed not far behind him.

"Mom, let's buy a hundred catties of cotton and go back."

"One hundred catties? Zhi'er, it only takes two catties of cotton to make a cotton coat, which is a bit too much if you count it as a quilt."

"Mom, I have other uses, so you can just buy a hundred catties."

Hearing Tong Zhi'er's serious words, although Fang Cuiwei was puzzled about what she wanted to do with the cotton, she still nodded and said to the man who sold the cotton, "Brother, how do you sell the cotton?"

"Twenty cents a pound."

"Give me a hundred catties of cotton."

"Okay, girl, wait a minute," the man stood up, and brought the bags of cotton behind him to Fang Cuiwei, "show me."

Fang Cuiwei, Tong Zhi'er and the others each held a bag of cotton, opened the opening, and looked at the quality of the cotton.

"Cotton is [-] catties without a bag. There are five bags in total. Show me, girl." The man pointed to Fang Cuiwei where the weight was.

The scales are very prosperous, the man is an honest person, Fang Cuiwei should give him a few taels of silver from his purse.Let a few children look at the cotton, she carried a bag in her hand, went to Tong Zhixin's side, and asked him to come over and help carry the cotton to the car.

"Why did you buy so much cotton?" Seeing the five heavy bags of cotton, Tong Zhixin was a little dumbfounded.

Fang Cui smiled and said, "Zhi'er said she is useful."

After buying cotton, Tong Zhixin and others finally drove the cart to the cloth shop. Tong Zhi'er chose fresher cloth, and some other colors as well.

On a rare visit to the cloth shop, Fang Cuiwei used her remaining money to pull a few horses for summer and autumn clothes, as well as cloth for winter cotton coats and quilts.After pulling a few more bright horses for Tong Duo'er, the family pushed the cart to a restaurant.

Guanshi Zhang was very busy, Tong Zhixin saw it at the door, so he decided to wait until tomorrow to pick up the money, so as not to delay Guanshi Zhang's time.

The family pushed the cart around a corner and headed home.

The cart was full of things, and there was no room for anyone to sit on it, so they followed Tong Zhixin along the road.

Along the way, others cast curious and envious eyes on them.

When he returned to his own village, this envy was even more enthusiastic to the extreme.

"Fourth, you can really earn money and buy so many good things."

"Uncle Seven was joking."

"This isn't a joke. I'm telling the truth. Do you think any family in our village is willing to buy such expensive four treasures for the study?" Uncle Qi stared at the rice paper and other study supplies in the car with wide eyes, and turned his head to face Tong Zhaofu said: "Ah Fu, you have to study hard. You can see how much your parents love you."
