However, the next morning, after Xiao Ya'er and Gao Dashan went out in high spirits, this guy made a fuss again, until it was almost noon before they went out.

A certain man looked satisfied, radiant and energetic, but Mu Qingli almost lost the strength to walk.

Mo Yun's face was full of doting and doting to please his wife, his brilliant tongue, tenderness and consideration finally made her smile, and he was relieved, thinking that there is still hope for the welfare at night.

After the two had lunch, Mu Qingli smiled and said to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, enlightenment books, and some abacus, and the two walked towards the bookstore talking and laughing.

Although Minzhou is the most prosperous city in the Southwest, the Southwest area is a backward area for the entire Zhou Dynasty, and there are not many people who love to read. Although the book market is small and large, it is far from being lively and decent. Compared with Jiangnan and Beidi.

However, what Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen planned to buy were elementary school books of the most superficial basis, and there were quite a lot of them in stock.

When the two of them went in, they were basically shopping for pens, inks, papers, inkstones and books. Although they bought ordinary supplies instead of high-quality goods, they couldn't hold up to a large quantity, and these things were not cheap compared to ordinary commodities.

And Mu Qingli picked up some travel notes, regional chronicles, history books and other books by the way, which were not cheap.

The shopkeeper and the clerk were full of joy and hospitality.

The two swept through the five largest bookstores in a row, paid a 20% deposit, and asked the store to deliver them to the inn for settlement, and then continued to visit the sixth one.

Although I dare not say that all the children in the village are willing to study and are all materials for reading, there must be three or four hundred out of six or seven hundred who are willing to go to school to learn to read or to learn to count. ?

After sweeping five bookstores, the purchased supplies barely covered half of the supplies, and the worst thing was the elementary school books. After all, no bookstore would have too much stock. You must know that this is not a modern society with advanced printing technology.

Unexpectedly, when they entered the sixth store, the store was empty and no one was there.

Mu Qingli wandered around, and found that there are also several kinds of elementary school books here, which add up to about thirty or forty books. She wanted to buy them, but she didn't want to fail, so she called out: "Is there anyone?"

The couple yelled several times before a clerk came out of the back hall in a hurry. Seeing Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen's ordinary clothes, the smiles on their faces faded by three or four points. He said: "What do the two guest officers need to buy? If you want to buy window paper, you have to go to the market."

window paper? Both Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen were a little speechless.

But there is nothing to worry about with this kind of villain, Mo Yunshen said coldly: "Is your shopkeeper here? We want a lot of things, but we didn't ask for window paper. I'm afraid you, a little boy, can't do it." host!"

The guy got angry when he heard this, and was about to say something unconvinced to Mo Yunshen, when he saw his cold expression and cold eyes, his heart froze for no reason, and he dared not say the words to complain up.

Realizing that he was actually intimidated by the man's cold face and cold words, the guy's heart rushed up, helpless and unwilling to return, under the oppression of Mo Yunshen's cold and stern aura, still He only dared to yell and curse in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word out of his mouth.

He didn't dare to curse, and he didn't want to be frightened by Mo Yunshen. When he was at a loss, the shopkeeper happened to send the distinguished guest out from the back hall with a smile on his face.

Mu Qingli and Mo Yun looked at each other deeply, they understood, no wonder there was no one in the store just now, the co-authors were entertaining distinguished guests behind.

The shopkeeper called the distinguished guest "Steward Xiao", presumably he was the housekeeper of a big family in the city.

In his forties, with fair skin, a neatly groomed flowing beard, wearing a blue dark pattern gown, tall and thin, he looked a bit refined. It's just that the face is too clean, and the narrow and long eyes reveal an unpleasant shrewdness and meanness, which makes people uncomfortable no matter how they look at them.

This Steward Xiao is obviously used to being flattered by others, he doesn't pay much attention to the shopkeeper's enthusiasm and politeness. Accompanied by his entourage, he walked out proudly and got into the carriage.

It seems that a big business has just been completed, and the shopkeeper seemed quite happy. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned his face to look at Mo Yunshen and Mu Qingli, and said with a smile: "The two guests want to What do you want to buy?"

Mu Qingli smiled and said, "Buy some elementary school books,"

When the guy heard that they were here to buy elementary school books, even though there were a few of them, they were still not worth much money, so he couldn't help showing contempt.

The corners of her mouth twitched and she was about to say a few lukewarm sarcasm, but just as she opened her mouth, Mu Qingli had already said more than half of the words with a smile: "We want all of them, as well as pens, inks, papers and inkstones. I want them all, the ordinary ones, not the expensive ones.”

Both the guy and the shopkeeper were taken aback.

The guy was startled, swallowed what he was going to say just now, and wiped his cold sweat secretly.

The sum of these things is worth hundreds of taels of silver, and it is definitely not a small sum to make a business of hundreds of taels of silver. If he runs away the customers, the shopkeeper will have to fire him.

After the shopkeeper came back to his senses, he also beamed with joy, nodded repeatedly and said yes, and said with a smile: "Two guests, please take a look at it slowly. I will let the assistant wrap up everything you want!"

The shopkeeper has never seen people who buy things like them. Now that the inventory is swept away and you make a lot of money, can you not be happy?

The guy's face was not very good-looking, and he had to squeeze out a few smiles. With a smile, he carried all the things to the counter, counted them in front of Mu Qingli and the others, and packed them up.

Naturally, Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen didn't bother to argue with a young man, they chatted and chatted, as if nothing had happened, and they didn't run against him.

The guy secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and wiped off his sweat without any trace.

Unexpectedly, this place was bustling with counting and packing, but the housekeeper Xiao with eyes on the top of his head rushed in with two attendants.

This is the real local rich customer, the shopkeeper and the buddy quickly put down what they were doing and hurried forward.

"Housekeeper Xiao, this is—"

Butler Xiao seemed a little anxious. He didn't care to listen to what the shopkeeper had to say and hurriedly said, "Did I bring a scarlet box that was more than a foot long and two inches high when I entered the store? Did it fall into your store?" ?”

The shopkeeper was taken aback. It would definitely not be something cheap that made Steward Xiao so anxious. He hurriedly shook his head and laughed, "This—I didn't see it! When Steward Xiao came in, he didn't see what he took. Brocade box!"
