Chapter 279 Another Big Purchase
Song Hexiu said calmly: "Let's take a look ourselves first."
Guy: "Okay, take your time."
Soon, the three split into two teams.
Song Hexiu is in one team, and Song Chuman and Song Chuhuai are in another team.
When she arrived at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone area, Song Chuman took a look and chose four sets of medium-sized pen, ink, paper and inkstone without hesitation.
The set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone here also includes brushes of various sizes, including large, medium and small.
Song Chuhuai asked, "Sister, why did you buy so much?"
Song Chuman: "Not much. Dad, you, cousin, and me, we each have one set."
Song Chuhuai suddenly realized: "It's just that, sister, buying four sets must cost a lot of money, I don't need it."
Song Chuman: "It's okay, this is necessary. You are a man, you should study. If a man has no knowledge, it will be difficult for him to marry a good wife."
"Sister!" Song Chuhuai's face flushed instantly, "I'm still young, and it's still a long way to go before I can get married."
Song Chuman joked, "It's not far. If you have someone you like now, I can invite her home for you in advance and make her your child bride."
Song Chuhuai's face turned even redder, "Sister, you still say."
"Haha." Song Chuman said: "Okay, what sister said is true, not a joke, let's talk about this later."
After saying that, she went to buy a few blank account books, some loose paper and other things that could be used later, and placed them all on the counter.
Song Hexiu hadn't come over yet, so Song Chuman went to his side and saw that he was staring at the titles of several books, as if he wanted to buy them but was reluctant to spend the money.
Seeing that those books were not available at home, and they were all related to the imperial examination, Song Chuman took the books in her hands without hesitation and said, "Father, buy them if you like."
Song Hexiu was a little reluctant to spend the money, "Aman, it's too expensive, two taels of silver for each book."
Two taels?
It is indeed expensive.
Song Chuman said, "Father, this is necessary. I'm doing business, and if you really pass the exam to become a scholar or a juren, or even become a high-ranking official, you can protect me."
Song Hexiu choked.
Indeed, if he really achieves fame and honor in the future, it will bring a lot of benefits to the family.
Seeing that the Song family had bought quite a lot today, the bookstore owner smiled as he calculated the bill. After a moment, he said, "The total is twenty taels of silver."
Song Chuhuai suddenly felt a pain in his flesh.
Just a few sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, a few books, some seemingly worthless paper and other things, but it cost twenty taels. It was too expensive.
Song Chuman sighed a little.
No wonder my father didn’t dare to mention education before. How could an ordinary family afford it?
After leaving the bookstore, the three of them went to Tianwailou to inform Manager Jiang and asked him to convey to Wei He that they had bought the land and could start construction tomorrow.
Song Hexiu just bought an almanac at the bookstore. The next few days will be auspicious days.
After leaving Tianwailou, it was almost noon.
But they ate a lot in the morning, so they are not hungry yet.
Song Chuman originally wanted to buy a dairy cow or a ewe to provide nutrition for her family.
But now there is no place to graze the chickens at home, and it is very troublesome to take care of the chickens every day, so I gave up this idea for the time being.
Anyway, the house is about to be built, and we can maintain it after it is built.
Now my family eats well every day and doesn’t care about the time.
The Song family was used to having lunch now, but Song Hexiu wanted to save money, so he bought some meat buns to eat, then went to the city gate to rent a carriage and returned home.
