Chapter 298 It’s Them
Shen Qingqian gained a lot today. Not only did he buy a telescope, he also took out the stock from the warehouse openly.
The various strange and bizarre goods in Hu City were very eye-catching, but Shen Qingqian was short of money, so he had to resist the urge to buy, and after a quick walk around, he hurried out.
After finishing everyone's business, Shen Qingqian said to Ling Yun: "Brother Cheng Yun, let's go to the bookstore."
Ling Yun looked at the pile of books he was holding with a strange expression, "Is there more to buy?"
He had never liked reading since he was a child. He could only recognize basic characters and write. He held the child for a long time but never looked at what books Shen Qingqian had given him.
"Of course. We have children at home. Zhe'er and Qin'er have just started their education not long ago. Now that they are settled, we naturally cannot let them fall behind in their studies." Shen Qingqian said as a matter of course.
The studies of the two boys cannot be neglected. Jinjie will be four years old after the Chinese New Year, and it is time to start cultivating basic study habits.
As a teacher after all, Shen Qingqian cares about this matter more than anyone else in the family.
When Ling Yun heard that he had to study, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, fearing that Shen Qingqian would ask him to study too. He raised his foot and walked away, "Then hurry up and go, and come back after you finish buying it."
You can't refuse at this time. Doing the opposite will avoid attracting attention.
Shen Qingqian didn't know what Ling Yun was thinking, and the two of them quickly went to the largest bookstore in Ebei City.
Ling Yun felt uncomfortable standing in the store, so he found an excuse to go out and watch, leaving Shen Qingqian inside to choose.
In addition to selling books and writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, this bookstore also provides book rental services.
After some thought, Shen Qingqian bought some suitable enlightenment books for the children in the family, rented several books that Shen Xiao and others would like to read, and bought the cheapest writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
It was only when Shen Qingqian went to the counter to pay that she realized how expensive the books here were.
"Thirty taels"
Her dumbfounded look made the bookstore owner frown, "Miss, ours is the most fair. If you think it's too expensive, you can go somewhere else to compare prices."
Shen Qingqian quickly restrained her expression and forced a smile, saying, "I don't mean anything else, please don't misunderstand me."
After saying that, he paid the silver, picked up his bag and walked out quickly.
The price of renting books is not expensive. A few enlightenment books only cost a dozen or so taels. What is expensive is the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
For the first time, Shen Qingqian felt how difficult it was to cultivate a scholar in Dajin. No wonder Master Shen was respected by so many people.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstone, except for the inkstone which can be used for a long time, the other three are consumables. If the quality of the ones you buy is not good, you will need to replace them soon, so Shen Qingqian bought medium-priced ones for his family.
Among these, paper and ink are the most consumed, especially paper. Once you start studying seriously, the demand for paper will be great, and the worst paper for writing costs eighty cents a piece.
When Ling Yun saw her coming out, he took the things from her hand and asked casually, "Have you finished shopping?"
"Yes," Shen Qingqian nodded, "You can go home now."
It was already noon, but neither of them wanted to eat in the city, so they saved every penny they could.
As soon as they left, the playboy who had wanted to get to know Shen Qingqian arrived at the door of the bookstore.
"The two people who just left are the ones who humiliated me this morning, right?" The playboy turned around and asked the servant behind him.
The servant's heart tightened, and he quickly made a decision, "Sir, are you mistaken? I don't think they look like them."
Oh my god, you must not let the young master send people after him, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble!
The dude touched his chin and said, "Really? Why do I feel like it's them?"
