Those who had their heads lowered were immediately rejected by Su Yu, and finally three were chosen, including a couple in their twenties and a man.
The purchase cost a total of eighty taels of silver. Su Yu couldn't help but feel distressed. She had no income but was spending money every day. The money she took from home was reduced by half. To be honest, with four to five thousand taels of silver, you really can't do anything in Kyoto. You can't even buy a yard in a better location.
"Girl, do you want the four of them to be taken back together?"
"No, you buy something they can use on the way, and then send the four of them to Jinjia Village, the house we rented today, and let them free up two rooms for them to live in first."
"Got it, girl."
This place is not far from Yu Mansion, so Su Yu didn't let Bai Mo send him off, and planned to walk back with his eldest brother. If he didn't hurry up, the city gate might have been closed by the time Bai Mo came back.
The brother and sister were walking on the street. After being here for a few days, they had time to look at the street scenes on both sides.
"Brother, there is a study in front of you. Let's buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. You will go to the Imperial College to study in a few days, but we haven't bought anything yet."
"Um."
This study was opened to the side, so its business was naturally not as good as the ones on the main street. When the brother and sister entered, there were only a few customers standing inside.
When the waiter saw someone coming to the door, he immediately greeted him.
"Brother, I want two ink sticks from Huizhou, two dozen paper from Liuzhou, and five brushes from Anqing."
As soon as he heard Su Yu's words, the guy knew that the girl in front of him was knowledgeable.
"Girl, wait a minute, I'll go get the younger one right now."
Su Yu thought in his mind that the eldest brother still had two inkstones that he could make do with, so let's just buy these pens, ink, and paper first, and then come back and buy more when there is not enough.
Not long after, the guy packed it up and brought it over.
"Girl, there are eighty taels in total."
The price shocked Su Sheng. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones that he used at home were all bought by his sister. Sometimes he would hear the prices mentioned by his sister, but they were never so outrageously expensive.
Su Sheng pulled Su Yu aside.
"Sister, the things here are too expensive, let's buy them elsewhere."
"Brother, Huizhou's ink sticks and Liuzhou's paper are already expensive. They don't ask for random prices, let alone buy cheaper ones. You are going to the Imperial College to study. If the things you use are too inferior, you won't make other people laugh. In He said, it’s not like our family doesn’t have the conditions now, we can still afford some pens, ink, paper and inkstones.”
Su Sheng didn't forget that he spent eighty taels on someone just now, and his sister had a pained look on her face, but now she spent eighty taels on him without blinking an eye, and felt bad in her heart.
"I see."
"Brother, don't have any psychological burden. I can make money. All you spend is small money, and I can still make it."
After Su Yu finished speaking, he stepped forward to pay the bill. Su Sheng carried the baggage. The brother and sister left the study and turned into the alley in front. They turned right after not far, but as soon as they turned around, they saw someone standing in the alley. After meeting two gangsters, Su Yu suddenly felt bad and turned around to leave with his eldest brother. But as soon as he turned around, he realized that at some point, two gangsters were blocking their way.
"What do you want to do?"
No matter how dull Su Sheng was, he knew something was wrong. These people were obviously coming for them, so he hurriedly protected his sister behind him.
"Boy, if I advise you to be wise, hand over the girl behind you to me. I can spare your life, otherwise?"
The leader of the gangster took out a dagger and made several gestures.
Su Yu felt that she didn't look at the almanac when she went out today. Bai Mo had just left them for a short while, and something happened. When they saw it, they were coming for her. She lowered her head and looked at herself. She was thirteen years old in front of her. It doesn't protrude or look up, so I didn't expect it to be noticed by others.
Su Yu was used to looking at his own face. When he first came in, he was malnourished and poisoned. There was always a yellowish air on his face, and his facial features were not visible. But since she was detoxified, although she is now thirteen years old, she is no different from a fourteen or fifteen year old girl. Now her skin is fair and tender, and her facial features are good-looking. It is only a matter of time before she is targeted by others. thing.
Su Sheng did not expect that under the majestic emperor's feet, these gangsters would be so bold as to rob people in the street. Even if he died today, he would not let these people take his sister away.
"You are dreaming. I am a student of the Imperial College, and my sister is the fiancée of the current number one scholar. I advise you to think carefully before doing anything."
The four people across from them were stunned. Although the two people across from them were good-looking, looking at their clothes, they looked like they were from out of town and had no identity background, so they dared to take action. But I didn't expect that this man actually came to study in the Imperial College.
But thinking that the two of them had seen their faces, a stern look flashed in the eyes of the leader. As for the claim that the girl was the fiancee of the new number one scholar, they didn't believe it at all. Who didn't know that the new number one scholar was from the family of Yu Shilang who had just taken office? The eldest son. You're kidding if you can find a woman dressed as a village girl as your fiancée.
Su Yu hid behind his eldest brother, observing the expressions of several people at all times. When he saw that the four of them had murderous intentions, he secretly thought something bad. But thinking that this place was not far from Yufu, he put his index finger into his mouth, and a loud whistle sounded far away.
Erhu was lying at the foot of the wall dozing by himself. When he heard the whistle, he immediately became energetic. He knew the direction without leaving the door. He jumped up the wall and ran wildly in one direction.
Hearing the whistle coming from behind, Su Sheng was really relieved. How could he forget about Er Hu? This place is not far from Yu Mansion, Er Hu should be able to hear it.
"Brothers, let's go together and take care of the men and take the women away."
"Don't worry, brother."
The four people slowly gathered around the brother and sister. Su Yu bent down and picked up two bricks and handed one to his eldest brother. He took one in his own hand and stopped hiding. The brother and sister stood side by side.
Seeing four people surrounding them, Su Yu kicked the leader first and hit the other person with a brick in his hand. When he saw his sister taking action, Su Sheng followed suit.
Su Yu didn't expect that his kick missed the target. He couldn't hold back his strength for a moment and slashed the ground like a horse, without hitting the bricks.
Su Yu's facial features were squeezed together in pain. In the past, when she saw Bai Mo beating someone, she liked to just kick him. The posture was handsome and good-looking, but why did she change now?
Su Yu's appearance immediately amused the two of them. They thought he was a ruthless character when he looked at his posture, but they didn't expect that he was just a showman. Before they even made a move, he fell down on his own.
After all, Su Sheng had done some physical work. Although the two of them had knives in their hands, they still couldn't take down Su Sheng within three or five moves. These ruffians had never seriously studied martial arts at all, and they couldn't fight hard. Just by instinct.
