As the incident ended, the crowd receded like a tide, and the gangster was escorted away by several villagers. The widow also left the hall after thanking her repeatedly. Diao Ruxiao smiled and invited Yu Yi to write on his hand.

"My hospitality has been poor recently, so please don't take it personally."

Then he turned around and said something to the girl. He saw that the girl was very happy. She walked briskly and approached Yuyi. She pointed to the main door of the hall and then continued to walk out. The girl's body was filled with body fragrance, which made her feel uncomfortable. Yu Yi couldn't help but when he reacted, he realized that the girl had walked away. He nodded to Diao Ruxiao in response, and then chased her out.

Followed closely was Zhang Daniu, who always looked evil and looked at Yu Yi with eyes full of hostility.

Not far away, the girl took a branch, and Yu Yiyin understood Diao Ruxiao's intention from her handwriting.

It turned out that he wanted her to familiarize him with the environment of Daoxiang Village, and at the same time be Yuyi's Chinese teacher and teach him the language of Daoxiang Village. The girl's name was Diao Xue. In her words, it was because she was living in a snowy weather. She was born, so her name has the word snow in it. Her skin is as pure white as snow. As the name suggests, maybe in the process of reading the words, she got a little close to Diao Xue and was kicked away by Zhang Daniu. .

Diao Xue glared at Zhang Daniu, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was a relative who pestered her all day long. Although the two families had already agreed to marry each other, Diao Xue did not like Zhang Daniu, and Zhang Daniu was very persistent and thought that If you keep following her, one day you will be able to impress her. Diao Ruxiao also knows this. However, she has already agreed to others and can only acquiesce to some of Zhang Daniu's actions.

Yu Yi was kicked to the ground, and he was naturally unconvinced. However, he had no strength to restrain the chicken, and fighting back would only make him suffer more. He could only grit his teeth and think to himself, he must quickly improve his strength and feel proud. once.

When communicating with Diao Xue later, he could only deliberately keep a distance, which made the two of them very embarrassed. Fortunately, Diao Xue was patient, and Yu Yi had a foundation in official script and some language talent, so the learning process was very smooth. By noon, he had basically learned most of the common common languages, although he was not very fluent yet. to communicate, but the obstacles have basically been removed. Diao Xue was also surprised by Yu Yi's learning speed and was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

Or maybe the learning process is too monotonous, so a few people make an appointment to go to Daoxiang Village. In fact, the structure of this village is very simple, with only two streets, but the distance spans a long way.

The door through which the carriage enters is on the east side, which is the main entrance of Daoxiang Village. Diao Ruxiao's address is on the west side of the village. Closer to the west is a large lake called Diaojia Lake. The name is based on the surname of the village. To the north of the village is a large lake. There is a large mountain, and there is a large forest at the foot of the mountain. Next to the forest is a mine, which is said to be rich in ore. At the foot of the mountain is farmland, but there is a large piece of medicinal farmland in the northwest of the farmland. In the center of the village are various shops, namely: " "Weapons, books, pharmacies, wine, game, rain, grocery stores, pawn shops, cloth shops, stables" are just under the facade, low-scale. They are said to be shops, but they are actually some objects placed by the villagers themselves, and most of the things inside are wandering. The merchants brought them from all over the country. There were not many types and few in quantity. In addition, there was a martial arts performance stage and a wit fighting stage in the east and west of the village, which were used by the villagers for literary and martial arts fights...

Daoxiang Village is not big, but it is well-equipped even though it is small. Yu Yi often visits shopping malls, but this is the first time he has seen such a primitive market. The shouts of merchants, the sound of butchers chopping meat, and the sound of the owner of the weapons shop forging iron are intertwined. Together, they form a beautiful piece of music. For thousands of years, people have been sentimental about the vegetable market and are very keen to visit the vegetable market. This may be the reason.

"Boss, how much does this book cost?" Yu Yi wandered into a bookstore and saw a copy of "Huainan Zi". The book looked very old and the cover had even begun to rot, but I don't know why Yu Yi felt so interested in this book. interest.

"Guest, you must know the goods. I asked someone to buy this book from a friend in Changsha. It is the only one on the market and there is no other. Seeing that you are a friend of Miss Diao, even if you are cheaper, 1,000 yuan ." This bookstore owner is very good at business, and Yu Yi's heart was moved by just one sentence, but Yu Yi didn't know what the concept of 1,000 dollars was, so he turned to Diao Xue for help.

The late Eastern Han Dynasty was a farming and cultural society, which belonged to the real economy. Although there was currency circulation, the intermediate currency was rice. One grain of rice was equivalent to 5,000,000 yuan. One pound of gold was worth ten thousand yuan. One grain of rice was equivalent to 50 pounds of gold. So, Ordinary families receive one-fifteenth of the farmland tax per mu per year, which is equivalent to 900 yuan. Therefore, 10,000 yuan is the tax money paid by others for ten years of hard work in farming.

Diao Xue's story surprised Yu Yi. E-books are very popular in modern society. Paper books are sold at discounts. You can buy a bunch of them online. Most people in this era can't afford even one book. No wonder the illiterate people are so Many, it turns out that knowledge is too expensive.

Diao Xue snatched the book from Yu Yi's hand and noticed the name of the book "Huainanzi". Without saying a word, she paid for the book for Yu Yi and handed the book to Yu Yi.

"Huainanzi" (also known as "Huainan Honglie" and "Liu Anzi") is a philosophical work collectively compiled by the Western Han Dynasty royal family Huainan King Liu An and his disciples. It is a miscellaneous work. On the basis of inheriting the Taoist thoughts of the pre-Qin Dynasty, this book combines Yin-Yang, Mohism, Dharma and part of Confucianism, but its main purpose belongs to Taoism. Liu An's father, Liu Chang, was the bastard son of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and was named King of Huainan. As the eldest son, Liu An inherited his father's title, so he was also called King of Huainan. The purpose of Liu An's writing "Huainanzi" was to target Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had just ascended the throne, and to oppose the political reforms he implemented.

When Yu Yi realized that Diao Xue had paid the bill, it was already too late. The other party had already walked out of the bookstore with the book. There was nothing special about this "Huainan Zi", except that the content was more specific and thicker than the modern version. , the paper is torn, and some words can't even be read clearly. The reason why Yu Yizhi chose it is that in the lower right corner of the cover of the book, there are several lines of words on it, "Improve personal political and historical knowledge and charm."

"Thank you!"

Yu Yi chased after him. Apart from thanking Diao Xue, he couldn't give him anything in return within his ability.

"You like reading, this is good."

Diao Xue gently placed the book in Yu Yi's hand, smiled slightly, and continued walking forward.

Zhang Daniu, who was following behind, was obviously a little dissatisfied. He grabbed Yu Yi's book and hummed, "What's the big deal if you know a few words? In society, who will reason with you when you encounter a conflict? Fist still works."

Yuyi noticed that Zhang Daniu's eyes were always fixed on the three words "Huainanzi" on the cover of the book, so he reminded Zhang Daniu that in fact, the lower right corner of the cover also had the words "Huainanzi", which could improve his strength. However, the other party not only did not thank him, but even more He got angry and shouted loudly: "The lower right corner is completely blank, how can you insult yourself like this?"

Yu Yi's behavior angered Zhang Daniu, which made him think that the other party not only looked down on him for not knowing how to read, but also deliberately teased him. His fists were already rattling, and now Yu Yi would get punched again...
