The people left and the tea got cold. Yun Jing said, "Let's go too."
Wang Bolin did not move. Instead, he fell down on the table, as if his bones had been taken away. He sighed heavily and looked at the empty seat opposite with his eyes blank.
"What are you doing, why are you sighing?" Yun Jing asked in shock.
Wang Bolin still didn't move and said feebly: "Hey, what a pity."
"What are you regretting?" Yunjing asked again, wondering if this guy was sick.
Tilting his head, Wang Bolin said: "What a pity for me is that sister Xingyu is older than us, and she is also Lin Yexing's sister. Her family situation is much better than mine, and she is so beautiful. I have no chance. I feel...
It hurts……"
"Is this what you are struggling with?" Yun Jing said speechlessly.
Twisting his head, Wang Bolin said: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
"It's a good thing that you can recognize the reality. Don't think about useless things. But having said that, just now you were so nonchalant and so serious that I almost believed you. This is not like you normally." Yun Jingyao
He shook his head.
With a snort, Wang Bolin said: "I'm a gentleman to begin with, okay, that's all my disguise. Besides, Sister Xingyu holds a sword. It's so long. Do I dare to talk nonsense?"
Are you a coward...
After lightly kicking him, Yun Jing said: "Let's go, you still want to stay for lunch?"
"I'm heartbroken, A Jing, why don't you comfort me?" Wang Bailin stood up and muttered as if he had made a careless friend.
Is this all the need for comfort?
Too lazy to pay attention to him, Yunjing turned around and left.
The group of people went downstairs and asked the store how much it cost, but they learned that the money had already been paid, by Lin Yexing and the others when they left.
The money had already been paid, so of course there was no need to pay again, but Yun Jing kept this in mind and looked for an opportunity to return the favor.
When leaving the teahouse, the little fat man Zhou Jintai sighed heavily for no reason.
What's wrong with each one of them?
Yun Jing asked him speechlessly: "Fat man, why are you sighing? It's the same as Lin Zi, because Lin Xingyu is so heartbroken that he can't breathe?"
"I am indeed heartbroken, but it's not because of Sister Xingyu," Zhou Jintai shook his head and said, looking annoyed at losing a hundred million.
Yunjing was surprised and asked, "Tell me, why are you heartbroken?"
"I regret why I didn't eat more just now. I feel like my stomach can still hold it. I don't have to pay for it myself. This kind of thing doesn't happen often." Zhou Jintai patted his round belly and said with a grin.
What did you think was going on? Yunjing couldn’t laugh or cry. He was indeed a foodie, but he was actually heartbroken because he didn’t eat enough free food...
The rain had stopped, and they continued to wander.
Although it is in the county area, the streets are not paved with stone. It had rained before and the crowds trampled on them, making the road very muddy and difficult to walk on.
As a result, Wang Bolin and the others were not very interested in wandering around, but they did not propose to go back home. After all, going back to the inn was more boring.
If it's hard to walk, then it's hard to walk. If it gets dirty, you don't have to wash it yourself. The worst thing you can do is spend some money. In the current social environment, there are many poor people who help others wash their clothes.
Walking on the muddy streets, Yun Jing couldn't feel the leisurely feeling of visiting the "ancient town" after the spring rain, but he didn't feel bored either. He looked here and there, looking here and there, and he was truly walking through the "historical scrolls".
'In this kind of mentality, it is a rare experience.
As they walked, Yunjing and the others passed by a bookstall on the street. The stall was run by a man in his forties. He had a gloomy look on his face and was cursing in a low voice. The spring rain had wiped out some of his books.
The books are slightly wet.
The books here are very valuable. If they get wet by the rain, the loss will be heavy. Well, that is a real waste, a waste...
There were actually not many books on the bookstall, only twenty or thirty books. Although not many, if converted into money, it would be a considerable fortune.
They had already passed by the bookstall. Yunjing thought about it, then turned around and walked back.
"Ajing, what are you doing?" Wang Bolin asked curiously. This guy is forgetful. After recognizing the reality, he no longer feels "heartache".
Arriving at the bookstall, Yunjing replied: "It's okay, I'll just take a look."
"What's so interesting about books? You haven't read enough yet. Besides, there are so many books in your master's house, but I don't see you reading them all day long." Wang Bolin curled his lips and said.
They had been to the place where Yunjing and Li Qiu lived in Niujiao Town, and had some knowledge of the situation there. However, since Li Qiu was the headmaster of the school, they did not feel comfortable playing there and did not go there often.
Zhou Jintai was sipping a candy bar, which he had bought on the road before. Since he couldn't keep his mouth occupied, he nodded and said, "That's right, what's so interesting about the book? It's not edible, and it's wet after rain."
It still smells bad, and I can’t appreciate the so-called fragrance of ink at all.”
Yunjing ignored them, but asked for the boss's permission and slowly began to read the books on the bookstall.
Although these books were more or less wet from the rain, the contents inside were not affected, and the bookstall owner took good care of them.
"Young Master, go ahead and read it. The books are all complete. They are a little bit wet from the rain. If you like any of them, I will sell them to you at a reduced price." The boss immediately promoted his books to Yun Jing.
It's up to people to order the food. The boss is smart and clearly sees that Yunjing wants to buy it.
Yunjing really wanted to buy two books, not about literature, but about the little people's books on the bookstall. Most of the books on the bookstall were like this.
Of course he would not be so bored that he would be interested in such a little book, and he would have a purpose in wanting to buy it.
What, when I was listening to a book in the teahouse, the storyteller told me about the little girl from the Orion family. Although Yunjing was not sure whether she was the daughter-in-law he had never met before, it gave him a heads up.
His plan to make his daughter-in-law, whom he has never met, become bored with things, still has to go ahead!
It just so happened that I met a book about villains being sold, so I bought two copies and tried to find a way to give them to her. It was better to make her fall in love with the books and "get lost in playing with things" than to practice martial arts in front of the sky.
Girls, why do they practice so well? Can't they just live a good life?
"The little book is boring," Wang Bailin curled his lips when he saw the book Yun Jing was flipping through.
Then, he rolled his eyes, quietly winked at the boss and said, "Uncle, do you have that kind of book? That's the kind of book you know."
Yunjing glanced at him sideways, thinking that it was hopeless, just carry him away...
On the contrary, the boss raised his eyebrows, looked around, coughed and said righteously: "Young master, what are you talking about? These are serious books. If you don't believe me, just read them."
With that said, he took out two "serious books" from his arms and handed them to Wang Bolin, and gave him a wink, meaning to keep a low profile.
That look is very similar to those who sold movies on the street in Yunjing's previous life...
Well, Yunjing said, this bookstall owner may be literate, but he is definitely not a serious scholar. Who among serious scholars would sell this stuff?
Wang Bolin flipped through two "serious books" casually, handed them over again, curled his lips and said: "The books are serious books, but unfortunately, I have them all. Uncle, do you have any others here?"
The boss looked like you're underestimating me. He took out two more books from his sleeves, handed them to Wang Bolin and said: "I also have two serious books here. They were just released in the past few days. They are selling very well.
It is very popular. Many scholars have bought it and kept it as a treasure to absorb the knowledge contained in it. If you don’t believe me, take a look.”
Oh, there are fresh goods. Wang Bolin raised his eyebrows, took them and looked through them. His eyes lit up, and he immediately closed the book and said: "I want these two books, please give me a price."
Isn't this the time when the scapegoat is coming?
The boss rolled his eyes, opened his mouth, stretched out three fingers and said: "I think the young master is also destined, so I can sell it to you cheaply, thirty taels, but I don't sell it cheaply to ordinary people."
Yunjing, who was reading the little book, almost gasped when he heard this. Contributing to the greenhouse effect.
It’s true that books in this world are expensive, but it’s not that outrageous. And do your two books add up to a hundred pages? The content is estimated to be only tens of thousands of words. It’s not a serious book. It’s just made up.
He's just a little emperor's uncle. This is not how pigs are killed. This knife stabbed him too hard!
"How much?" Wang Bolin, who was about to pay, asked blankly, then licked his ears, thinking he heard wrongly.
The boss smiled and said: "Thirty taels, no counteroffer."
"It's so cheap..." Wang Bolin muttered, and then said to the guard behind him: "What are you doing standing around, paying for it?"
Yunjing almost vomited blood. How the hell is this cheap? Where did you see it was cheap?
Yes, your family is not short of money compared to many other families, but money does not come from strong winds. Especially, how many times have you been slaughtered as a stupid pig in order to buy the little emperor's uncle over the years?
Thirty taels of silver, God, it's actually cheap in your mouth. I'm not a loser like you!
Yunjing wanted to strangle him to death.
Quickly pulling him behind him, Yunjing smiled at the boss and said, "Uncle, your price is probably inappropriate, right?"
It is certain that the books here are expensive, but you also have to read some books. This kind of nonsense made up by the little emperor uncle is not much higher than the price of buying paper, because it is useless except for a piece of music.
The boss was waiting to collect the money, but Yunjing suddenly interrupted. He suddenly became unhappy and frowned: "Young Master, why is this price inappropriate? I'm already very fair. This is a book, it's a book, it's a book, it's a book, it's a book, it's a book
It is used for collection and study, not vegetables that are gone after being bought and eaten!”
Yunjing didn't argue with him. He took the book in Wang Bolin's hand and handed it to him, saying: "Uncle, the price is really not right. If you are cheaper, we will buy it, but your thirty taels are just
Ridiculous, if you insist on selling it at such an expensive price, we will have to look elsewhere."
"No, you..., there is no such thing as you, young master, I have already agreed on the price with that young master, you must be honest," the boss said with a glare, and did not accept the book handed over by Yun Jing.
.
Wang Bolin thought about it for a while and didn't stop him. He chose to believe his friend.
Yun Jing smiled, what, you still want to buy and sell by force?
"Uncle, if the price is too much for you, we won't buy it. You can find someone you're destined for." With that said, Yunjing placed the books on the stall.
The boss narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed through him.
Although the Dali Dynasty did not explicitly ban the Little Emperor's uncle, it was something that could not be put on the market. There was more or less a gray relationship with him selling this thing. No, there were several people around him who were ready to take action.
Then it was time for Liu Dazhuang and the others to show off. They took a step forward, holding their weapons, looking around and grinning.
Suddenly everything was calm...
With a twitch in the corner of his eye, the boss didn't dare to mess around, and said with an unlucky look: "Business cannot be done without justice. Since you think my price is inappropriate, young master, how much do you think is appropriate?"
He still wanted to sell it. After all, it was money after selling it, so there was no reason to live with money.
Yun Jing also stretched out three fingers and said: "Those two books, three liang, and these three little human books should be used as supplements."
As he said that, Yunjing pointed to the three villain books he had picked out before.
Again, reading materials like Little Emperor's Book of Little People are worthless at all. They are just random fabrications. Their real value is almost the same as a blank piece of paper. In the eyes of many people, this kind of thing is even inferior.
What about white paper? After all, white paper can also be used for writing.
"You're bargaining too hard," the boss said with a glare. If it weren't for the guards around Yunjing and the others, he would have gone crazy.
Just this Yunjing seems to be expensive. Even if it is only three taels of silver, the boss will definitely still make money.
Yunjing said: "I only offer so much. If you don't sell it, uncle, we will have to leave."
"Sell it, young master, please pay for it," the boss said through gritted teeth when he saw that Yun Jing was serious.
Cloudscape...
So sloppy!
"I'll do it, I'll do it," Wang Bolin said immediately, and his guard immediately handed over three taels of silver.
So, he got two Little Emperor's Uncle books, and Yunjing got three Little People books.
After leaving the bookstall, Wang Bolin was not happy because he bought his favorite book at a low price. On the contrary, he was a little depressed. The little emperor's uncle in his hand no longer smelled good. He gritted his teeth and said: "What a sin, how much money have I spent in vain in the past few years?
Ah Jing, if you helped me bargain when I bought books in the past, how many more books would I have to spend?"
Buying this kind of book is not a glorious thing, and Wang Bolin doesn't buy it often, so he has never bargained for it at all. Now that he thinks about it, he has made a huge profit at a loss.
Yunjing said with disdain: "You are just a pig, and a stupid pig. You are the kind of person who doesn't even know how to say a word when being slaughtered."
"Hey, I'm stupid, but it's not you, Ah Jing. Next time I buy a book, I will bring you with me. You are responsible for helping me negotiate the price." Wang Bolin suddenly became happy again.
Yunjing said: "Get out of here, it's embarrassing enough to help you bargain for this kind of book. If it weren't for these few villain books, do you think I would help you? Do you want a next time? Don't even think about it.
think!"
"No, A Jing, what's the relationship between us?" Wang Bolin suddenly became anxious.
Taking a step away from him, Yunjing said: "No matter what, I won't be able to help you bargain for a book like this a second time, so just give up on this idea."
After saying that, Yunjing took out one or two and a half pieces of silver and handed it to him: "Nuo, here you go, the money for my three villain books."
Although the relationship is good, Yunjing doesn't want to take advantage of his friends. Li Qiu gave him money yesterday, so he doesn't need it now. In order to make the little daughter-in-law who has never met her become bored with things, Yunjing feels that this money is still worth it.
It is necessary to spend it.
Moreover, he has grown up now, and with his knowledge, he can help people write letters to make money. On such matters, he feels that there is no need to be as stingy as before. If he continues to be stingy, the door will be broken...
When I think about the possibility that my daughter-in-law will use force in the future, can the door be saved?
Really, boys often cannot be stingy, and they can easily break the door...
"A Jing, you make me so sad. I can't accept this money. You have saved me more than 20 taels. If I accept your money, am I still a human being?" Wang Bailin sternly refused on the spot.
This will make me fall out of favor.
Yunjing no longer persisted, just kept the money and found an opportunity to compensate him in another way.
Next, they continued to wander around. Considering that the little daughter-in-law would lose her mind with toys, Yunjing did some shopping. They were all things that the little girl would like, such as wind chimes made of shells, small combs, red hair ropes...
They were all small gadgets and not worth much. In the end, Yunjing became cruel and bought a small bronze mirror. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he should be more cruel to his little wife and bought her some needlework!
It's better to let your little daughter-in-law fall in love with a female celebrity than to think about practicing martial arts, right?
Wang Bolin was confused by his operation and even joked that Yun Jing looked like a little girl and actually liked these things.
He had no idea that Yunjing was worried. He was working hard for a harmonious life after marriage...
In the afternoon, they originally wanted to continue shopping, but the weather was not kind and it began to rain lightly again. They had no choice but to go back to the inn.
The rain kept falling and showed no sign of stopping. Yunjing and the others did not go out in the afternoon and stayed at the inn.
When he had nothing to do, Yun Jing practiced calligraphy.
In the evening, Li Qiu came back. He didn't know what he had done all day, and he didn't tell Yun Jing. He just asked Yun Jing a little about what he had done all day, and then left, letting Yun Jing rest early.
Early the next morning, Li Qiu left alone again. The rain was still falling, and it was heavier than the previous day.
Being bored at the inn, Wang Bolin suggested that he take an umbrella and go to Goulan to listen to music. He also said that there were beautiful ladies dancing there. He had never been there, but had only heard about it, so he wanted to verify it.
Zhou Jintai was not very interested and took it casually.
Yunjing didn't want to go, saying that kind of place was messy.
In short, I didn’t make it, so in the end I just continued to go to the teahouse to listen to books to pass the time. It didn’t cost much, and the day passed so uneventfully.
The third day went by pretty much the same way. The spring rain kept falling, which made people feel unhappy.
Soon the time came to the fourth day, which was also the day when the children's test results were released. It stopped raining, but it was not sunny.
After all the fun, Wang Bolin and the others were still very concerned about the exam results. Early in the morning, at dawn, without even eating, they urged Yunjing to go see the results.
Yunjing couldn't laugh or cry about this, saying that the government wouldn't post it so early.
Unexpectedly, Wang Bolin said that if you go early and get a seat early, if you go late and there are too many people, you won't be able to squeeze in.
Although Yunjing felt that there was no need to go so early, he also wanted to know the results as soon as possible, so he went together.
Li Qiu didn't go out that day. He went to watch the announcement of the results with Yun Jing. If nothing else happened, they would have to go back after watching the announcement. They should be able to get back to Niujiao Town before evening.
The place where the results are released is at the county government office.
Yunjing and the others were early, but there were too many people earlier than them. When they arrived at the county government office, there were already thousands of people surrounding it on two or three floors, and more people were coming from all directions.
Come, those who didn’t know better thought these people were going to attack the county government...
"I told you that you should come earlier. Look, you can't squeeze in now," Wang Bolin complained.
Yun Jingxin said that's not necessarily the case. He didn't see his master walking forward, so he just followed.
At the same time, at the west gate of Xinlin County, far away from the county government, a carriage loaded with mountain leather drove into the county seat after being inspected by soldiers.
The driver was a strong man over two meters tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard. It was a cold spring day, and he was only wearing an undershirt. His skin was dark and shiny, and his muscles were as big as an iron tower.
It's true that the arm can run a horse, which is quite a feat.
His physique and appearance were quite frightening. He was so worried that the soldiers guarding the city trembled when they checked his carriage, as if they were afraid of being torn apart alive.
In addition to the macho man in the car, there was also a little girl sitting next to her...
