After the token was placed, the bookstore owner's expression suddenly froze as he was talking eloquently, and then his smile became even brighter.
"It turns out he's the master of the Inspection Department. He's too old to recognize noble people..."
"In this way, the original price of what you want is eighteen silver. I will give you a discount and the price will be fifteen silver. What do you think, sir?"
Chu Mu took a deep look at the bookstore owner in front of him and froze for a moment. His tense expression suddenly relaxed, and his smile was equally bright.
"Then... Chu will borrow the boss's good words!"
After speaking, Chu Mu took out a few banknotes and placed them on the table.
"My lord, please be happy. Please be smaller in the future. I will make the decision. I will give you a 10% discount."
Hearing this, Chu Mu's eyes flashed, he smiled, and then changed the topic: "Chu has a nephew who has reached the age of enlightenment. Does the boss know how much it takes to complete the official training?"
"Official school?"
The bookstore owner was stunned for a moment, then said: "Official education is expensive. Chang Xiucai's private education only costs 40 silver per year, while official education costs 60 silver."
"However, the lecturer of the official school is Wang Juren of this county. He is an official registered in the imperial court. Whenever there is a vacancy, he might be a parent official of the county. If he can establish a master-disciple relationship, then it is not It’s about twenty silver…”
Chu Mu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, said a few words, and then left the bookstore with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he purchased.
"Knowledge is priceless..."
Looking back at the bookstore, Chu Mu couldn't help but shake his head. With such a high consumption of reading, how could it be said clearly that knowledge is priceless?
The thought just flashed through Chu Mu's mind and he suppressed it.
This kind of matter that concerns the world has nothing to do with him.
If it has anything to do with it, then we have to try our best to put it aside.
He is just a small person, and a small person must have the self-awareness of a small person.
When it comes to self-knowledge, Chu Mu feels that he is still a bit weak.
But after thinking about it, Chu Mu felt that this era was really interesting.
On the one hand, food is extremely cheap, on the other hand, knowledge is extremely expensive, and medical treatment seems to be quite expensive.
And judging from the banknotes, the production technology of this era should also have extremely desirable aspects.
Just like this, Chu Mu returned to his little home again.
Glancing at the "spiritual radiance value" on the screen panel, after wandering around for a few hours, it also increased by about 2%. Standing in the courtyard, Chu Mu pondered for a moment, and finally looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand again.
After a while, Chu Mu secretly shook his head. "Spiritual Glory Points" are hard-earned. At present, whether studying or practicing martial arts, the main thing is to accumulate "Spiritual Glory Points". As for the specifics, you still have to get it. Let’s talk about the duties of the inspection department.
After all, this era is still a fog for him.
Thinking back to the scene that night with the blessing of "Spiritual Glory Value", Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart.
Only when you stand too high will you realize how small you are.
That kind of wisdom is really fascinating.
Soon, Chu Mu adjusted from his tremors, guarded against arrogance and impetuosity, and spoke and acted cautiously...
External things are reliable, and he himself cannot be slack.
After putting away the pens, inks, paper and inkstones he bought, Chu Mu was not idle either. The original owner of this body and his father were not tidy people. Whether it was the bedroom or the small courtyard in front of the door, they could be called sloppy. .
Although Chu Mu is not a clean freak, the place where he lives is cleaner and more comfortable.
Especially this kind of house where one can live alone and have a small courtyard. Chu Mu has longed for it after wandering in the city for a long time in his previous life.
I don’t know how many times I have imagined that when I make enough money, I will go back to my hometown to live alone in a small courtyard and live a comfortable retirement life.
Who would have thought that this dream has not been realized for more than ten years, but now it is ready-made.
This life starts from here...
Chu Mu held the broom and bucket and looked at the single-family house with a deeper smile on his lips.
After a busy day, it wasn't until dark that Chu Mu stopped what he was doing. Although it had not been thoroughly cleaned, the house was at least very thorough.
Compared with before cleaning, it feels a little more transparent and tidy.
After resting for a while, after drinking the brewed concoction and filling his stomach with the leftovers from lunch, Chu Mu placed a deck chair in the courtyard and lay down leisurely.
Autumn is high and crisp. Although it is almost late autumn and there is a bit more chill, but it has just darkened and the residual temperature has not disappeared. In addition, the coolness of the night is just right.
The night is cloudless and the sky is filled with stars, deep and gorgeous.
In my previous life, I lived in the city and lived in a box house. Speaking of which, I haven't seen such a bright starry sky for many years.
Looking at such a bright starry sky, Chu Mu couldn't help but wonder, is this world also a planet and a universe?
The moon and the sun also exist in this world.
The Big Dipper is also clearly visible.
What is the connection between this world and the earth in the previous life?
Or is it a dream?
Was he dreaming about the past life, or was he dreaming about the present?
With the body and mind relaxed, all kinds of thoughts are flashing in the mind.
I don't know how long it took before Chu Mu came back to his senses from his random thoughts. After another short rest, Chu Mu got up from the recliner.
After entering the house and picking up the knife, Chu Mu returned to the courtyard again.
"Spiritual radiance value" comes from undivided concentration. It is easy to focus without distraction. Obviously, it is not an easy thing.
Many times, the mind is not distracted without realizing it, but it is also difficult to achieve the level of being focused.
These days, almost most of the sources of "spiritual radiance value" are from unknowing distractions, rather than the distractions controlled by Chu Mu himself.
Fortunately, after these days of thinking, Chu Mu also gained some experience, which is to release distracting thoughts first and then focus on one thing.
After thinking about something randomly, you can then calm down and focus on something, and you can achieve concentration without any distractions.
At this moment, there was nothing else in Chu Mu's mind except the scene of practicing swordsmanship in the spiritual state that night.
A figure, several sword skills.
It circulated over and over again in Chu Mu's mind.
After a long time, Chu Mu's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the long knife in his hand was raised accordingly.
There's nothing fancy, just simply raise the knife, chop it down, put the knife away, swing it out, put the knife away again, lift it out...
Basic knife moves, one move after another.
Within a moment, Chu Mu put away his knife and stood up. Of course, he did not stop on his own initiative, but was stopped by the soreness radiating from all parts of his body.
With the knowledge from his previous life, Chu Mu would naturally not act recklessly.
"What a world of difference!"
Caressing the blade of the sword, Chu Mu shook his head and sighed. The difference between the sword technique he practiced under normal conditions and the sword technique practiced under his "spiritual state" should not be too big.
The simplest point is that he has just practiced for a while and the progress is very minimal. He himself cannot notice any progress. However, in the "spiritual glow" state, for a moment, he can be said to have made rapid progress visible to the naked eye.
The gap between genius and mortal seems to be difficult to make up no matter how much sweat is expended.
Chu Mu pursed his lips and couldn't help but feel inexplicably discouraged.
After a while, Chu Mu seemed to have figured it out. He took a long breath, sheathed the long sword, then turned and walked towards the room.
"Geniuses also need to be diligent, and stupid birds... need to fly first..."
As he took a step, he whispered to himself, and his voice quickly dissipated in the evening wind...
