Shen Qingqian gained a lot today. Not only did she buy a telescope, but she also took out the inventory from the warehouse openly.
The various strange products in the Hu Market were very eye-catching, but Shen Qingqian was short of money, so she had to resist the urge to buy, and after a quick walk around, she hurried out.
After finishing everyone's business, Shen Qingqian said to Ling Yun: "Brother Chengyun, let's go to the bookstore."
Ling Yun looked at the pile of books he was holding with a strange expression, "Do you want to buy more books?"
He didn't like to read since he was a child. He only knew basic words and could write. He hugged him for a long time without even looking at any of the books Shen Qingqian gave him.
"Of course, we have children at home. Brother Zhe and Brother Qin have just started enlightenment. Now that they have settled down, we cannot let them leave their studies behind." Shen Qingqian said matter-of-factly.
The two boys cannot put down their studies. Sister Jin will be four years old after the Chinese New Year, and it is time to start cultivating basic study habits.
After all, he is also a teacher, and Shen Qingqian is more concerned about this matter than anyone else in the family.
As soon as Ling Yun heard that he wanted to study, he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. He was afraid that Shen Qingqian would ask him to follow suit, so he walked away, "Then go quickly and go back after shopping."
You can't refuse at this time. Doing the opposite will not attract attention.
Shen Qingqian didn't know what Ling Yun was thinking, so the two of them quickly went to the largest bookstore in northern Hubei City.
Ling Yun felt uncomfortable standing in the store, so he found an excuse to go out and guard, leaving Shen Qingqian to choose inside.
In addition to selling books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, this bookstore also provides book rental services.
After Shen Qingqian thought about it, he bought suitable enlightenment books for several children at home, rented several books that Shen Xiao and others liked to read, and also bought the cheapest pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Only when Shen Qingqian went to the counter to check out did she realize how expensive the books here were.
"Thirty taels?"
Her dumbfounded look made the shopkeeper frown, "Girl, ours is the most fair. If you don't like it, you can compare prices elsewhere."
Shen Qingqian quickly calmed down and said with a forced smile: "I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong."
After saying that, he paid the money and walked out quickly with his baggage.
The price of renting books is not expensive. A few enlightenment books only cost more than ten taels. The most expensive thing is pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
For the first time, Shen Qingqian felt how difficult it was to cultivate a scholar in Dajin. It was no wonder that Master Shen was respected by so many people.
Pens, inks, paper and inkstones, except for the inkstone which can be used for a long time, the other three are consumables. If the quality of the one you buy is not good, you will have to replace it with a new one soon, so Shen Qingqian bought a medium-priced one for his family.
Among them, paper and ink are the most consumed, especially paper. Once you start studying seriously, the demand for paper will be great, and the worst paper used for writing costs eighty cents per knife.
When Ling Yun saw her coming out, he went directly to take the things in her hand and asked casually: "Are you done shopping?"
"Well," Shen Qingqian nodded, "You can go home."
It was already noon, but neither of them wanted to eat in the city, and every penny they could save was worth it.
As soon as they left, the dude who wanted to meet Shen Qingqian arrived at the door of the bookstore.
"Were the two people who left just now who humiliated me in the morning?" The dude turned to ask the boy behind him.
The boy felt nervous and quickly made a decision, "Master, are you wrong? I don't think it looks like the two of them."
Mother, you must not let the young master send people to chase him, otherwise he will definitely get into trouble!
The dandy boy touched his chin, "Really? Why do I think it's them?"
