Yan family strong girl

Chapter 124

Lin Laishun, the shopkeeper, looked at him blankly, thinking that he was not satisfied with the price, so he gritted his teeth and added another ten taels: "My brother, if you are not satisfied with the price, then I will add another ten taels."

Lin Laishun came back to his senses, and nodded with a very calm expression: "I sold it."

When the shopkeeper heard that the transaction was successful, his greasy face was full of joyful smiles, and he said cheerfully: "My brother, this is 50 taels of silver, and there are still ten taels of silver. You can count them up and see." .”

When Lin Laishun led the two little girls out of the pharmacy, he always had the illusion that he was stepping on the clouds, and the 60 taels of silver in his pocket made him feel extremely excited.It was the first time he had so much money in his pocket at such an old age!With this money, there is no need to worry about the expenses of the marriage of the two younger brothers.

The quality of that ginseng plant was very good, and it was old enough. Lin Laishun originally estimated that he could sell it for 30 taels, but he never expected that the shopkeeper would be so happy and gave him a full 60 taels!
For Lin Laishun, this is tantamount to a huge windfall falling from the sky!

"Uncle, what are you thinking?" Yan Xiaowan tugged at Lin Laishun, who was wandering in the sky, and almost stepped on the ground, and looked up to meet his dazed eyes. She was stunned and then reacted.

Yan Xiaowan saw his expression clearly, couldn't laugh for a while, and asked him with a smile: "Uncle, are you being silly?"

"Xiao Wan, was I dreaming just now?"

The corner of Yan Xiaowan's mouth twitched when Lin Xiaofeng, who was following behind, suddenly said such a sentence, she really didn't know what to say to the silly father and daughter.

"Does it hurt?" Yan Xiaowan rolled her eyes towards the sky, turned around and twisted her arm vigorously, seeing her wrinkled face, she laughed.

She laughed enough, turned back and asked Lin Laishun: "Uncle, how about you? Do you want me to help you wake up?"

"You kid is so cowardly, you dare to laugh at your uncle, don't you?" Lin Laishun pretended to be angry and pulled her in front of him, threatening her with wide-eyed eyes.

Not only was Yan Xiaowan not afraid, but she giggled happily: "Uncle, do you think I'm Qijin's younger brother? You can't scare me."

Lin Xiaofeng stood aside and looked at it with a smile, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, her eyes were clear, and there was no trace of jealousy.

Yan Xiaowan peeked at Lin Xiaofeng and saw the pure smile on her face, and finally let go of the big stone in her heart: "Uncle, let's go directly to the study? I want to buy a pen and paper for my uncle."

"Okay. Come here, Xiaofeng, and take your sister Xiaowan by the hand." Lin Laishun had a lot of money in his pocket, so he agreed very happily.

A few people came to the largest study in the county, and after Yan Xiaowan walked around the study, she whispered to Lin Laishun, "Uncle, the books here are so expensive, even the worn-out old books will sell for a couple of dollars." Silver. I saw several scholars lying there writing something, uncle, can you help me to ask what they are doing?"

"Why are you asking this?" Lin Laishun asked in surprise, he couldn't figure out why Yan Xiaowan did this.

He was illiterate, and he couldn't even read the price of books. After entering the study, he always felt out of place, and he didn't even dare to look at the scholars in the study.

Yan Xiaowan urged in a low voice: "Uncle, don't ask so many questions, you can ask for me. They see me as a child and a girl, so they don't bother to talk to me at all."

When Lin Laishun heard that his niece had been wronged, his face changed drastically. Fortunately, Yan Xiaowan found out in time and calmed him down a few words before suppressing his emotions.

After a while, Lin Laishun came back with a dark face, met his niece's expectant eyes, and replied with a suppressed expression: "They are copying books to make money. It is said that the money is calculated according to the number of pages and the quality of the font. The best copy You can get two hundred Wen for a book, and if it’s not enough, you have to pay for the paper.”

Yan Xiaowan saw that his complexion was not good, she must have been looked down upon by those scholars, she patted his arm with some guilt, and comforted him in a low voice: "Uncle, don't be angry, there will be scholars in our family in the future, No worse than others. Let's go buy pens and paper for my uncle."

Before Yan Xiaowan turned around, she gritted her teeth and stared at the line of words on the wall: Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.

She spat hard in her heart: I bah!

If there were no households farming the land, what would you scholars eat and drink?
Do you really think that if you have studied a few years more than a farmer, you are nobler than others?

Hmph, these powerless guys inside can't even beat me, a little girl!
"Xiao Wan, what's the matter with you? Look at your pouty mouth, who made you angry?" When Lin Laishun walked out of the study, he was no longer angry.

He just bought some pens and paper and a tattered old book that Yan Xiaowan found in a corner, and it cost him nearly two taels of silver.It is difficult for children from poor families to study, and the status of scholars is indeed higher than those of peasant families like them.

"I'm not angry." Yan Xiaowan said with a puffy face, anyone could see that she was very angry.

Lin Xiaofeng held her hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Xiaowan, don't be angry. Those scholars are probably busy copying books to make money, so they don't have time to talk to us. The things in the study are really too expensive, alas, It’s really not easy for a farmer’s son to become a scholar.”

Lin Laishun handed her the book she had chosen, and coaxed in a low voice: "Xiaowan, what you Xiaofeng said is right, don't be angry."

Yan Xiaowan's face paled, Lin Xiaofeng pointed to the book in her arms curiously and asked: "Sister Xiaowan, why did you buy this book?"

Yan Xiaowan's attention was immediately diverted, she turned the pages of the book and said to Lin Xiaofeng: "I saw medicinal materials painted on it, Miss Xiaofeng, look at this painting is ginseng, here is Ganoderma lucidum, and..."

Seeing that she was finally calmed down, Lin Laishun sighed inwardly: Xiaowan has such a temper, she must find a husband with a good temper in the future.

"Miss Xiaofeng, do you like this silk flower?" Yan Xiaowan dragged Lin Xiaofeng to the silk flower booth, and picked out a pink silk flower.

"First ask how this silk flower is sold." Lin Xiaofeng fell in love with this silk flower at first glance, but she restrained her desire and decided to look at the price before talking.

"Ma'am, how do I sell this silk flower?" Yan Xiaowan smiled back at her, then turned to ask the silk flower seller.

The aunt looked at the clothes of the two of them, and she didn't have much enthusiasm on her face: "Two flowers are ten yuan, and one flower is six yuan."

When Lin Xiaofeng heard such an expensive price, her longing disappeared immediately. She leaned into Yan Xiaowan's ear and whispered: "One silk flower can buy several meat buns. Xiaowan, let's not buy it."

"Uncle, come quickly and pick one for my aunt!" Yan Xiaowan pretended not to hear, and turned her head to call out to Lin Laishun.

Yan Xiaowan's voice attracted many people to look at her, making Lin Laishun's ears turn red, and she even had the urge to turn around and run away.
