Boss Lu was a little embarrassed: "You earned the money, so of course I will give it to you, and you will give it to your mother when you get back."

He Jiuniang thought it was funny, could it be that the women at home were so capable during this period Making money hurts the self-esteem of the elders?

She thought for a while and said: "Brother, we all earned this money together, and everyone gets the same."

Boss Lu wanted to say something else, but He Jiuniang didn't. Give him a chance and continue: "Brother, during this period of time, you need to do a lot of things to build a house at home. It is a good thing for us to earn some money to support the family while we are idle. A home is supported by us together. Without you, we are building a house." , we can’t go to pick herbs with peace of mind. This is mutual, so you also have a share of the money. Don’t think too much about it.”

He Jiuniang knows that men have some problems. Male chauvinism, not to mention that this is an era where men are superior to women, so we can understand the gap in Boss Lu's heart now.

With his little thoughts being seen through, Boss Lu felt even more embarrassed. He was even worried that his three siblings would laugh at him because of this, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Fortunately, He Jiuniang didn’t care about this matter very much. After saying those words, she rode forward on horseback. As for the three children, they looked at the people on the street with bright eyes, and they also No one is paying attention to this.

Boss Lu finally felt a lot better, but at the same time he felt that he was too petty. We are all a family and should not be so fussy.

When they arrived at the door of the bookstore, the three children got out of the car excitedly. They looked at the people coming and going inside, but they were a little afraid to go in.

Leizi looked back at his father and third sister-in-law, wanting to feel safe.

Mr. Lu always felt that he was a rough man, and he had never been to such an elegant place, so he hesitated for a while.

He Jiuniang tied up the horse, pretended not to see their uneasy expressions, and said with a smile: "Let's go in and have a look!"

Boss Lu refused: " Third brother and sister, I don’t understand this either. You can take the children in, and by the way, bring the money!”

He said and handed over the money bag, but He Jiuniang still refused to accept it.

"Brother, the more you have never been here, the more you want to go in and take a look. In fact, it is no different from ordinary shops. Besides, you dare to enter a bandit's den, but you are afraid of this small bookstore. No? As for the money to buy things, I said a few days ago that I bought the children's pens, inks, paper and inkstones with my own money. They are considered gifts for them to enter school. You can just keep the money with peace of mind!"

With that said, He Jiuniang pulled a few children in. Although Boss Lu was a little hesitant, he felt that what He Jiuniang said made sense. After thinking about it again,After all, Leizi is his son. When his son goes to school, a father can't just do nothing, right? So I suppressed my uneasiness and followed in.

As soon as he entered, he only felt the smell of books. Boss Lu sighed in his heart that this is a place where such literati and elegant guests can stay, but it is more refined than rough people like them.

"What do you gentlemen need to buy?"

The clerk in the store saw a group of them coming in and hurriedly greeted them enthusiastically. Today is the opening of Songhe Academy. On that day, many people came to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the bookstore's business was very good.

He Jiuniang didn’t know much about these things, so she directly said to the boy: “Brother, some children at home are just about to go to school. Can you recommend some practical sets of pens, inks, paper and inkstones? They don’t need to be high-quality. , as long as it’s durable.”

It’s not that He Jiuniang is reluctant to spend money, it’s mainly because her children have just started going to school. These things are completely consumables. There is no need to buy them too expensive. They can learn them later. That’s almost it. You can also use something of higher quality.

There is no shortage of rich people in the county, but rich people do not come to take care of their bookstores every day. In many cases, the income of their bookstores still comes from these ordinary people, so the bookstores There are indeed products suitable for ordinary people, and it is not difficult to recommend them.

Especially when she said that she wanted to buy several sets together, the smile on her face became even bigger: "There are some, please come with me!"

" This is the latest small pen brush introduced in our bookstore. The pen barrel is made of bamboo, with low cost and good quality. One pen only costs 150 Wen;

For small ink sticks, the commonly used pine pen is recommended. Smoked ink costs 200 cents, suitable for children who are just learning to write;

Recommended paper is linen paper, 55 cents per foot. White linen paper is finer than jute paper, and the price is also 20 cents more expensive. Money is the choice of the gentleman and his wife;

As for the inkstone, it is for children. If there is no special need, just buy the most commonly used ordinary stone inkstone, which only costs 80 coins!"< br />
The young man regarded Mr. Lu and He Jiuniang as husband and wife. The three children looked quite similar, and a family that could send three children to school at one time must also be from a wealthy family. It’s not an exaggeration to say “Master” and “Mrs.”

He Jiuniang didn’t care. Boss Lu was so frightened by the price that he didn’t even notice it, so no one opened his mouth to explain.

When the children heard the price, they didn’t understand how expensive it was, but Leizi knew the price was definitely not cheap when he saw his father’s pale face.

Mr. Lu finally understood why many people dare not send their children to school. Not only are the repair costs expensive, but these pens, inks, paper and inkstones are also very expensive, and these things are notIt's very durable, like ink sticks and paper, which are often purchased, and the total sum is not a small sum, let alone buying some books and so on.

Mr. Lu felt that if he and Mr. Yu raised their children alone, it would be impossible to afford to send them to school in this life, let alone the three children at home now, which would cost a lot of money. How much?

Before Boss Lu could react, He Jiuniang said very grandly: "Okay, just what you just said, I need three sets! Oh, by the way, paper is used up quickly, each set is six feet. , I need finer white linen paper."

"Okay! Madam is so refreshing, I will go and wrap it up for you!"

The little guy is a businessman He was such a smart person that he knew at a glance that this house was headed by a woman, so he ran away happily without even asking Boss Lu what he meant.

Boss Lu knew that he had never seen the world. Even though his heart was in turmoil, he still said nothing.

He Jiuniang took a few children around again and bought a few books, which were very basic books such as Thousand-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Three-Character Classic.

Several books have the same price, one hundred and twenty cents each.

When she was about to go over to check out, He Jiuniang saw a folding fan, which looked very good. She remembered that going to school in this era seemed to require a apprenticeship ceremony, so she asked the boy waiting aside: "Brother, How can I sell this folding fan?”

The young boy started to praise regardless of the situation: “Madam, you have really good taste. This folding fan is also a new product in our store, and it sells for twelve taels of silver. . The fan bone is made of precious purple sandalwood and the surface of the fan is a landscape painting personally painted by Kang Xiucai of our county, and also inscribed with poems. The literati in the city are very fond of it!"
