On the second day, a new round of spiritual root testing began, but this had little to do with Yu Wan and the others.
Today, Yu Wan took Yu Chen and Rhubarb, and the two of them and the dog went to the Bamboo Ink Studio in Dongshi to buy paper and pens. Although Yu Wan had pens and inks for drawing runes in his storage bag, they were not allowed to be shown in front of others. Second, the paper, pen and ink are just some kind of talisman paper, some kind of unconventional thing made of blood and sand. I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble if someone is interested, so it is better to just buy a new set of four treasures of the study.
Standing in front of Zhumozhai, Yu Wan looked at this tall retro building with antique features and carved beams and painted beams.
The first thing that popped into Yu Wan's mind was not admiring the aesthetic architecture, but that it would cost a lot of money to buy pens and ink here, right?
"Sister, aren't we going in?" Yu Chen raised his head and asked Yu Wan, who was looking directly at Zhu Mo Zhai.
Hearing Yu Chen calling him, Yu Wan said firmly: "Come in! Come on, let's go in and buy pens and ink."
As soon as the two people and the dog entered the door, they saw that the room was decorated grandly, and there were rich calligraphy and paintings displayed in hardcover. Although Yu Wan did not understand calligraphy and painting, she could still see the beauty and agility of these flowers, birds, fish and insects, but today she was not here to buy calligraphy and paintings. She just Let’s buy a set of the cheapest and simplest pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The waiter was still taking care of the previous customers. Since the store was large, he didn't notice that Yu Wan and his wife had come in with rhubarb.
When the waiter turned around, he saw Yu Chen eagerly looking at the inkstones of different shapes and brushes of different thicknesses and lengths on the counter.
Seeing Yu Chen like this, Yu Wan couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. This aroused his interest in drawing talisman. These mortal objects are of little use even if they are used to draw runes.
Although the waiter in the store was a little impatient with the two children coming to make trouble, he still asked politely: "You two young guests, what do you want to buy?"
"I want to come to the Four Treasures Suite of the Study Room. By the way, it's the cheapest one."
Waiter:...
"The cheapest we have is two-for-one. Little girl, do you have the money to pay for it?"
"It's so expensive. A set in our town only costs fifty cents! Are you trying to steal money?"
When Yu Chen heard the price, he usually accompanied his mother and sister when going out to sell things. Every penny was hard-earned, so when he heard that it was several times more expensive than the four-month price of a study room he bought in the town, he was instantly moved. Calm down!
The waiter was not happy when he heard this, his tone was even slightly disgusting, and he said with a professional smile: "Young master, your town can be compared with our Zhumozhai all over the country. Don't say that my store is a big rip-off, the goods in our store are genuine. The price is a penny for a piece, so the price is certainly not cheap. If you two young guests don’t bring enough silver, why not come again next time.”
The waiter spent the whole day wandering around among various crowds, and he had already developed the ability to observe people's words and expressions. He dared to be so rude and choked with Yu Wan and the other two, but it was just because they were dressed in simple clothes. At first glance, they were from the countryside. , I’m afraid I don’t have enough money to pay the bills.
When Yu Wan heard this, he thought, "Haha, if the tiger doesn't show off its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?" ! What dogs see in people!
She curled her lips and sneered, with cold eyes, and looked at the waiter: "What? You haven't seen the goods yet? You, the store owner, are just kicking the customers out. What's the point of this? You don't want to do business?"
Yu Wan came here because she was not familiar with the place. She just saw this shop selling pens and ink during the two days when she was wandering around. She had money, no, it should be more accurate to say, she had gold! But that doesn’t mean she likes spending money!
Last time, she dug out a lot of gold stones with a hint of gold spirit from Qiong's cave, but she never spent them. Finally, she had a chance to spend them, but she encountered snobbery, which made her very unhappy!
"Hey! Where did this country bumpkin come from? He's still looking for trouble in my Ling family's territory?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment by the domineering aura emanating from Yu Wan. Before he could recover, he was awakened by the words of the master who had introduced him to the wing.
He quickly turned around and said politely: "Miss Ling Er, they are disturbing your peace. I will drive them away." After saying that, he turned around and planned to drive away Yu Wan and the others.
Dahuang, who was sitting obediently next to Yu Wan, immediately stood up and rushed to Yu Wan and the other two, bared his fangs, grunted and growled in warning, staring at the waiter. The waiter's eyes widened in fright, and he quickly took two steps back.
"Wait!"
The person who spoke was the boy in white brocade walking behind Miss Ling Er. He had a pair of iconic peach blossom eyes, and the ends of his eyes were slightly raised with a smile. He was the eldest son of the Ling family, Ling Xuan.
Yu Wan looked at the people coming out of the private room, two men and two women, handsome men and pretty women.
"Is it you two? Girl, want to buy something?" Ling Xuan, with peach blossom eyes, looked at Yu Wan and asked.
"Brother, who are they? They look poor. How can you recognize such people?" Miss Ling Er said with unceremonious disdain.
"Zhen'er! Don't be rude." Ling Xuan warned Ling Zhen with a straight face.
After saying that, he looked at Yu Wan and his brother and said politely: "You two, don't be surprised. Zhen'er is young and has no restraints. I would like to introduce myself. I am Ling Xuan, the eldest son of the Ling family. This is my sister. Ling Jun, my younger brother Ling Yang, and my younger sister Ling Zhen."
Ling Xuan introduced them one by one, Ling Jun nodded coldly, but Ling Yang, on the other hand, was a little startled when he saw Yu Wan, and bowed slightly to do the etiquette, while Ling Zhen gave Yu Wan and the others a cold snort. .
Yu Wan was a little surprised. What was going on? Why did you suddenly feel better? The two sides are completely unfamiliar with each other, so we kids are trying to please the grassroots? That is either adultery or theft!
Yu Wan remained calm and only responded politely, waiting for Ling Xuan to continue. She wanted to see what he wanted to do?
Seeing that Yu Wan didn't answer or introduce himself, Ling Xuan smiled and said, "Young lady, you want to buy the Four Treasures of the Study?"
"um, yes."
When Ling Xuan heard this, he ordered the shopkeeper beside him: "Shopkeeper Ling, take down the four treasures of the study room upstairs."
"This... eldest son, the goods sold upstairs are all high-quality products that are hard to find for millions of dollars." Shopkeeper Ling saluted and reminded with a troubled expression.
"You can take it if you are told, no need to worry!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, he took the waiter, Deng Deng, and walked upstairs to pick up the goods.
Seeing the shopkeeper go to pick up the goods, Ling Xuan smiled politely at Yu Chen and said, "Let's not stand in the living room. Why don't we go into the private room and wait for the shopkeeper to come over to pick up the goods."
"No, I just want the cheapest set." Yu Wan refused.
"Hey, she is indeed a poor girl. Just like that, brother, you still want to give her the fine products upstairs. Not to mention that they can't afford it, and you're not afraid of hurting them."
When Ling Zhen heard Yu Wan's words, she couldn't help but take the opportunity to sneer and mock.
"Shut up!" Ling Xuan glared at Ling Zhen with narrowed peach blossom eyes.
Ling Zhen was startled by her eldest brother's rare roar, and shrank back behind Ling Jun, seeking shelter.
At this time, Ling Jun also frowned slightly, either because of Ling Zhen's attitude towards others or because Ling Xuan cared too much about Yu Wan and his sister.
Ling Yang had been in deep contemplation since he met Yu Wan, and was just shaken out of his thoughts by Ling Xuan's sharp shout.
"you……"
Yu Chen had a childlike character and was angry at her verbal humiliation and provocation. As soon as he shouted a word and was about to step forward, Yu Wan grabbed his arm.
"Ah Chen, don't argue with the madman. We can't spend our money on the madman. Let's go." Yu Wan looked at Ling Zhen and replied rudely.
After saying that, he pulled Yu Chen and turned towards the door.
"Miss Yu, wait."
Seeing this, Ling Xuan immediately stepped forward to stop Yu Wan.
"Master Ling, what do you mean by this? Also, how did you know that my surname is Yu?"
Yu Wan immediately became alert, pulled Yu Chen one step back, stared into Ling Xuan's eyes and asked.
"Hehehe... Don't be afraid, Miss Yu. Ling doesn't mean any harm. I was also present when the spirit root was tested yesterday. It's not unusual to know the names of the girl and Young Master Yu. It's my shopkeeper who was rude this time, little sister. I'm so rude, so I'll take this exquisite four-piece set as an apology. Please don't blame Miss Yu. Can you put this misunderstanding aside?"
Ling Xuan handed the four-piece suit from shopkeeper Ling to Yu Wan, and he was so skillful and polite that he said all the beautiful words. What else could she say?
But Yu Wan still felt that the eldest son of the Ling family definitely had some purpose in doing this. !
She didn't want to provoke villains to herself, but she also wouldn't accept this. She took the basket containing the four treasures of the study, looked at it carefully and said:
"Seeing that you sincerely apologized, I accepted it. However, although this set of Four Treasures of the Study is of high quality, the hair is smooth and smooth, but the hair is mottled. The ink is bright in color, but the fragrance is slightly pungent; The paper is delicate and smooth, but too stiff and brittle; the inkstone is indeed unique in shape, but the stone texture is rough and not moist enough.
Yu Wan said half-way, and said with ridicule: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this kind of quality is actually regarded as a high-quality product by Zhumozhai, which has semicolons all over the country?! Or use it as an apology in Lin'an City, you guys If you have the nerve to take it, that would be a bit ridiculous, Mr. Ling, don’t you think so?"
Ling Xuan didn't expect that a girl from the countryside could actually know how to read the Four Treasures of the Study! I thought it would be enough to fool this little girl, but I didn't expect that this time I was slapped in the face. At this moment, my peach-blossom eyes could no longer smile, and I even felt embarrassed.
Yu Wan accepted it and said again: "I accept the apology, but it's only worth a few dozen taels of silver for this level of quality. I don't have any silver, but I do have a piece of gold. If you have enough, I will reward you." , just teach your waiter and sister not to look down on others!"
Dahuang is innocent: "Woof woof woof"...Master, why are you taking me with you when you are swearing...
Yu Wan was speechless: ...cough cough, my mouth is bald, I'm not talking about you...
Yu Chen was shocked:! Sister, where did you get the gold?
Yu Wan held up her forehead: Uh, let’s talk about it later!
After saying that, Yu Wan pretended to take it out from his belt, but actually took out a piece of gold from his storage bag and handed it to Ling Xuan.
When Yu Wan saw that Ling Xuan didn't answer, she walked to the counter, put down the gold, turned around and pulled Yu Chen away without looking back.
Yu Chen also deliberately turned his head, rolled his eyelids at a few people, stuck out his tongue, and then followed Yu Wan honestly.
"This... this is too much!" Ling Zhen said angrily with anger on her face.
"Humph, it's not you who caused it. If you fail to succeed, you will fail. Do you know who they are, so you are offended!" Ling Xuan said angrily.
"Brother, don't you pay too much attention to these two people?" Ling Jun frowned and asked Ling Xuan. Although she felt that Ling Zhen was too arrogant and unreasonable, Ling Xuan's actions made her a little confused.
"You don't understand. Even though Yu Wan didn't have the Five Spiritual Root qualifications, her younger brother actually had the mutated Wind Spiritual Root! Especially yesterday, several people on the stage with good qualifications all surrounded the two siblings, especially The boys from Lei Linggen, Jin Linggen and Shuang Linggen looked like they were together. They were going to Xuantian Sect together. If we don’t draw them together now, if they get acquainted with the Wang family, if they become ours in the future "Enemies, look at these top qualifications, aren't there more powerful enemies? Ling Zhen, look what you have done?!" Ling Xuan said angrily again.
Ling Jun was speechless after hearing this. Although she didn't like to win over people due to her cold temperament, she didn't want powerful people to be pushed into the Wang family's camp.
Ling Zhen was scolded back and forth by her eldest brother, and she didn't dare to show her anger in her heart. She could only snort angrily, and walked out of the Bamboo and Ink Studio towards the Ling family.
