025: Find a way to get rid of the wool of the house
When the shopkeeper heard that Chang Xi wanted to buy laws and regulations, he thought he was hallucinating, "What did this lady want to buy?"
Chang Xi repeated it helplessly.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore was convinced that he had heard correctly. He immediately looked at Chang Xi with surprise and doubt in his eyes. It was the first time he heard that a woman wanted to buy "Dayu Lv".
Chang Xi was annoyed by this look. What's wrong with her being a woman? She couldn't buy a book of laws and regulations?
Seeing Chang Xi's face darken, the shopkeeper of the book shop quickly said, "Don't worry, this lady, it's just the first time I heard someone ask about "Dayu Law", but it's a pity that the shop doesn't have a book of laws.
.”
The price of "Dayu Lv" is not low, and there are only a few people who can afford it. Besides, except for scholars, almost no one reads it, so the owner has not come back to sell it.
Chang Xi had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he was not very disappointed when he heard that he had not heard anything at the moment. It seemed that he could only think of another way.
"Are there any history books?"
The shopkeeper shook his head in embarrassment, and then recommended with a shy face, "Would you like this lady to read something else? Look at these story books, they are all very beautiful..."
Chang Xi's eyes fell on the storybook. Sure enough, it was a bookstore selling miscellaneous books.
Seeing Chang Xi's lack of interest, the shopkeeper of the book store recommended some enlightenment books for young children to read three hundred thousand. Seeing that Chang Xi was unmoved, he then picked up other miscellaneous books and asked Chang Xi if he wanted them.
Chang Xi didn't want to listen to his random recommendations, so she asked if he had any travel notes?
This time the shopkeeper quickly said that he had some, and then took out the best-selling ones for Chang Xi to choose from.
Chang Xi flipped through it and finally picked out a book of travel notes written by someone from the imperial court and bought it.
"Chenghui three taels of silver."
Chang Xi was not surprised when he heard the price. The most expensive thing in the world is knowledge, especially in ancient times.
Xiao Tao hurriedly grabbed Chang Xi and whispered anxiously, "Ms. Chang, the price is too expensive, why don't we buy it..."
"Pay." Chang Xi ordered calmly.
She was eager to know how different the world was from what she knew, so she still had to spend the money that should be spent.
Xiaotao glanced at Dongli, hoping that she would persuade Chang Xi that it would not be feasible to continue spending like this. Most of the money for the twelve months had been spent.
Dong Li said, "Listen to Mrs. Chang."
Although she is the oldest person in the small courtyard, Chang Xi lets Xiao Tao take care of the money. This shows that Xiao Tao is valued more than her by Chang Xi, so she does not have to make Chang Xi unhappy about this matter.
Xiaotao had no choice but to take out three taels of silver to pay.
Chang Xi picked up the book and was about to leave, but the shopkeeper of the bookstore said, "If this lady wants to buy "Dayu Law" and history books, I am afraid she will have to ask at Datong Bookstore, they should be selling them there."
Chang Xi would express her gratitude gently to others for their kindness.
However, ancient books were too expensive. A travel book cost three taels of silver. The laws and history books were probably even more expensive. She didn't plan to pay for them anymore. After all, her funds were limited, so she still found ways to untangle her family's wealth.
That's it.
The Jie family passed down poems and books from generation to generation. The collection of books in the mansion must contain books such as regulations and history books. It is estimated that none of the books on the market are as complete as those in the Jie mansion collection.
What makes aristocratic families more powerful than ordinary people is that they monopolize knowledge and thus control the channels for class advancement. It is difficult for ordinary people to catch up to them throughout their lives, which is the greatest injustice in the world.
She did not walk on her own on the way back, but sat directly in the sedan. After all, she was eager to read the travel journal in her hand.
On the other side, Zhang Yingda hurried home. He was eager to find his friends. If this small business can succeed, everyone's life will be much easier in the future. Besides, if good things happen, you can't leave your friends behind.
But before he could run home, a friend caught up and stopped him, "Ada, why are you back now?"
"Afa, what's wrong?" Zhang Yingda saw the anxious look on his friend's face and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him and ask.
Zhou Afa said hurriedly, "Go home quickly, your father is going to sell the lotus seeds."
What?
