The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 137 Two Years Later

Two years later.

He Shusheng was dragged by his classmates in a carriage ride for a long time, saying that he wanted to see good things, but the road became more and more remote, but it took a long time before he saw a unique small building at the end of the path.

"It's here, Wanli Study. The head of the studio said that it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read thousands of books. Since it is more difficult to travel ten thousand miles, it is better to read ten thousand books first. There are many books here. Let's go." Li Shusheng Pulling He Shusheng to the small room at the entrance of the building.

He Shusheng watched as he took out a sign from his waist, showed it to the doorkeeper boy, gave him 10 Wen, and entered the small building. The hall on the first floor was filled with several large tables, and many scholars were sitting there. Sitting and reading, they actually sit on the bed. Although sitting on the bed is more comfortable, it is a violation of etiquette.

Fortunately, there is a raised platform on the other side, covered with a large mat and a low table. Only one or two scholars read books here.This small building has three floors, and the other two floors are filled with bookshelves. There are two rows of desks near the window, but there are no low tables. The handwriting in the book is relatively neat, much better than my own handwriting, and there is no typo.

The whole building includes all the collections of classics and history, and some that cannot be found in the bookstore can be found here. I don’t know when such a small remote place was built, and there are so many books. I don’t know how many people are there. It takes day and night to complete the transcription, and it is really affordable to read all the books for a whole day with only 10 texts.

He Shusheng saw that many people were stacking a few books on the left and copying something on the right. He probably copied all the useful things so that he could take them home and enjoy them slowly.I didn't bring any books with me, so I would have bought a few from Qin Ji if I knew about it.

This book is very convenient, much lighter than the bamboo slips, and can write a lot of things. Although it costs 10 yuan a copy, it can copy the content of 3 bamboo slips. That's it.

"Brother Li, let me go back and buy some notebooks. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen." As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Li Shusheng. Go to the inner courtyard.

I saw a small yard on the left with a flag saying Zhimofang, and a small yard on the right saying restaurants. Each small cabinet is full of things, which can be seen at a glance, and the price is also indicated on it. A small book is only 9 yuan, which is cheaper than Qin Ji's.

"Shopkeeper, I need five copies of this little book." He Shusheng looked at the money in his pocket, and if he brought too much, he would have to buy more than a dozen copies.

"Scholar, each person can only buy 3 copies of this small book. It was originally intended for the convenience of scholars who did not bring a book. It did not make you any money. If you want, I will get you 3 copies. How about it?" The girls looked cute and cute and spoke very softly, and it was indeed written on the counter that each person could only buy 3 copies, and He Shusheng had to buy [-] copies.

Then I thought that if I could buy a lot, someone would have resold it to make a fortune.He Shusheng picked out some ordinary ink sticks and inkstones, and ordered a better writing brush.

"This scholar wants to buy a box? It seems that you are here for the first time, do you want to buy a set? This box is 10 yuan for a single purchase. Now the study has just opened an affordable set. This set is an ordinary 2 An ink stick, an inkstone and a better writing brush are 2 and a half renminbi, which is 20 renminbi cheaper than buying these alone." He Shusheng took the wooden box that was two palms long and one palm wide, and looked carefully. The things I picked are similar to those I picked.

There is a small round hole on each side of the two sides, which is supposed to keep the brush inside from being stuffy, and there is a groove in the front of the short end. It is estimated that some kind of wood chip is plugged in. The workmanship of this small box is still good, mainly because of these small The details are very thoughtful, even if you buy one to use in the academy, it is excellent and easy to carry.

He Shusheng looked at a larger box next to it, which had two layers. When he opened the upper wooden cover, he saw three small books inside. The lower layer was opened by pinching a small log from below. For the larger inkstone and pen and ink, there are four small holes in the lower layer, and the wooden trough is the same as the one just now.

"This box is 30 coins each. As long as you buy a box, we can store it here for you, so that you don't have to bring it next time, which can save you some trouble. It doesn't cost you a penny to store it. It's here. You can take a look at it. , if you want to write your name on this small piece of wood, put it in this wooden groove so you can find it easily.”

He Shusheng looked at a row of wooden boxes on a wooden shelf, all of which were inserted with small pieces of wood with other people's names on them. The wooden shelf had no baffles so that the small holes would not be blocked. The height of one grid may save some effort when holding it, otherwise it will be troublesome to take the bottom one.

Next to it are the shelves of those big wooden boxes. These shelves are placed on top of the wooden cabinets so that they can be seen. The wooden cabinets below can also store other things, as long as they don’t start from the ground and stack up one by one. , or I always feel that the bottom position is not good when I look at it.

"Then I'll take a set, and then I'll buy a small box separately."

"Okay, here's your signature, and I'll press it for you... Take it, and walk slowly." He Shusheng walked out the door with three books and two wooden boxes on top of it. It was quite convenient to watch like this , or the books with ink sticks, pens and inkstones are strangely scattered.

Seeing that there were several small courtyards in the distance, I didn't know what they were used for, so I asked Brother Li.

"The three nearer ones are the library of military books in the west, the library of rites and music in the north, and the larger one in the east is the library of rubbings. There are many orphans here, but they are re-engraved, but the writing is clearer than some incomplete orphans. .It is not allowed to bring a notebook in there to copy, but you can buy a copy, usually 1 to 3 yuan, if you go in, you will be given another 10 Wen.”

"But the things inside are really worth it. I bought one or two good books and I'm at home. If you want to read them, you can go to my house. If you want to buy, it's in the small yard on the right. All the books you see can be read." Buy, the books in this building are cheaper, only 50 Wen to 1 Yuan, cheaper than bamboo slips."

"Copying by myself can save some money, but with the money in this book, it only saves more than 20 coins, not counting the work and the 10 coins that came in. Anyway, I bought what I wanted, and it didn't cost much. Freshness." Li Shusheng saw that the door of the restaurant next to him had been opened, and the heat inside was slowly wafting out.

"Let's go and eat something warm. These pancakes cost 5 cents for two, and 3 cents for each. It's more cost-effective to buy two. This bone vegetable soup is free. Miss Ye, bring me two pancakes." Brother Li pulled him into the house, it was still a bit cold standing outside in Kaichun.

There are also high tables and beards inside, "I want one too."

"Okay, come right away." Ye Qiu put four steamed cakes on the plate with bamboo chopsticks, filled two bowls of soup and served them on the wooden plate.

He Shusheng saw that when the girl opened the steamer, there were other dishes in it, and it looked delicious, "How many dishes are there?"

"Those were brought by others with food boxes and we helped to heat them. If you need them, you can also bring them and we can heat them for you. They will be hot when you are ready to eat." Ye Qiu counted the days and counted the wild animals who went out to hunt. The monkey reckoned that he should be back today.

In the depths of the jungle, Chu Ying, who was carrying four pheasants on her body and a heavy pannier on her back, was slowly coming out. She put her fingers in her mouth and blew a whistle. A tall and bright horse ran over.

Chu Ying put the basket on the wooden shelf on the right side of Changsheng, evenly arranged the things on the left and right sides, took off all the pheasants on her body, and mounted the horse and swung the whip.
