What is an oiran?

Listening to the little girl's innocent question, Zhao Ce was silent for a rare moment.

Su Caier blinked in confusion.

Zhao Cecai said truthfully: "Oiran..."

"She is the most beautiful girl in the brothel..."

Su Cai'er murmured: "Brothel?"

Zhao Ce looked at Su Cai'er's thoughtful look and felt a little nervous for some reason.

There is an inexplicable feeling that when the husband goes out to play, his wife catches him.

He coughed lightly and explained: "Just... when I was studying in the city, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Ding always took me to a brothel."

"There's an oiran inside, and I heard she's quite good-looking."

"Then... something happened inside, and I was kicked out of school."

After Zhao Ce explained, the little girl's brows were furrowed.

"Is it that brothel that caused my husband to be kicked out of school?"

Zhao Ce nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!"

"Anyway, this matter is over, and I won't go to those places again."

Su Cai'er was still a little worried after hearing her husband's assurance.

She whispered: "From now on, when your husband sees Mr. Zhao and Mr. Ding, he should go further away."

"And that brothel, let's not pass by there in the future."

Although I don’t know exactly why Dafu-kun was dropped out of school.

But Su Cai'er just knew that these two people were definitely not good.

That's why husbands don't like them.

And this brothel is not good either.

After hearing what she said, Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Okay, let's go further in the future."

"I won't play with them anymore."

As he said that, he shook the hands held by the two of them.

"Let's go and buy good things early. We have to go to the west of the city to order pottery pipes and tiles."

Su Caier nodded and was pulled away by her husband obediently.

but……

The most beautiful girl in the brothel...

Su Cai'er lowered her eyes and thought with some shame - her husband likes that kind of beautiful girl...

Su Cai'er knew that she was smaller than her peers, so she looked at her small body with some sadness.

Presumably the courtesan is also in good shape.

The little girl didn't speak, she seemed to be thinking about something silently.

Zhao Ce also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his little wife is well-behaved and doesn't like to ask questions.

And after she told her about dropping out of school, Su Cai'er's face clearly showed some pity for herself.

In his heart, Zhao Ce applauded his reaction and rhetoric.

Anyway, those things were all done by the original person.

It has nothing to do with Zhao Ce being a dime.

So Zhao Ce doesn't blush at all when he talks about the dark history in the past.

…

The two of them arrived at Sanzheng Bookstore.

When Su Cai'er came back to her senses, she was already among a pile of books.

She was a little embarrassed and didn't know where to put her arms and legs.

I am afraid that I will soil these precious books.

There was no one in the library.

The shopkeeper at the counter was also nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Ce smiled and patted her back gently.

"It's okay, let's just stand here and I'll call the guy over."

Su Cai'er nodded and stood behind him nervously.

I didn't dare to look around.

Zhao Ce called for the guy.

When the guy took a look, he saw that although this young man had an extraordinary bearing, he was only wearing a short jacket.

And the fabric is just coarse cloth.

This attitude is somewhat lukewarm.

"What do you want to buy, sir?"

Zhao Ce said: "Please take the arithmetic book from your bookstore and take a look at it."

"Arithmetic books?" This guy was a little surprised when he heard someone say that he wanted to get so many arithmetic books for the first time.

Zhao Ce nodded and said, "Not bad."

The clerk looked Zhao Ce up and down and thought, can this guy afford it?

If you can't afford it, you don't have to go through so many searches.

So, he said: "Okay, you two wait a moment."

Said.

I went to the corner and randomly pulled out a book called "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic".

Get it in front of Zhao Ce and hand it over directly.

"Give."

Zhao Ce took it and was about to turn it over.

The guy added, "Be careful when searching. If it gets damaged, you'll have to pay for it."

Zhao Ce paused while turning the book.

He glanced at the guy before continuing to flip through the book in his hand.

"Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" is the most important of the ten arithmetic books.

Basically covers most of the key points of knowledge.

However, because the book was written earlier, it does not include all the information.

Zhao Ce asked: "Are there any other arithmetic books?"

Seeing that he really wanted to buy it, the clerk couldn't help but muttered: "Does anyone really buy these arithmetic books now?"

He only remembered that the "Nine Chapters Sutra" was roughly placed in that position.

But for other things, he was illiterate, so he wasn't sure.

Hearing Zhao Ce say he wanted it, he had no choice but to say: "I'm going to call out the shopkeeper and ask him if he still has some."

The clerk raised his voice and shouted into the inner room.

Soon, the shopkeeper of the bookstore came out.

The waiter said directly: "Shopkeeper, this farmer wants to buy an arithmetic book."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper looked over there curiously.

Immediately.

With his eyes shining, he passed directly over the man and left.

"You are... Zhao Ce, Mr. Zhao!"

This shopkeeper was the one who paid Zhao Ce a writing fee that day when he was writing lantern riddles.

Recently, Zhao Ce has been the center of various topics in the city.

Naturally, as soon as he saw Zhao Ce, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
