Ji Yuan looked up at the sunshine in the sky, and then looked at Zao Niang, who had been maintaining her salute. Although the plant elves had difficulty staying in the sun for a period of time when they first condensed, and were easily burned by the power of the sun, once they came The jujube tree itself has special spiritual roots, and Ju’an Xiaoge is also special, so Zao Niang doesn’t feel any discomfort when facing the sun directly.
At this moment, the small paper cranes and small characters in the main room also flew out, spinning around Zao Niang curiously and happily. Zao Niang raised her arm, and the small paper crane fell on her arm. Looking at Zao Niang at first, even though the big jujube tree began to gather elves, it did not make the little paper crane feel strange. In fact, Ji Yuan felt the same way.
The small characters were naturally the most lively, chattering around Zao Niang non-stop.
“The jujube tree finally became a human being.” “That’s not all.”
“At least I can speak.” “Yes, yes, I can speak!”
“Why is the jujube tree female?”
“Nonsense, if she can bear fruit, can she still be a boy?”
“It seems to make sense.” “Fart, I didn’t even know if the jujube tree was male or female until I heard it.”
“That’s right, can you still know better than the great master?”
……
These small words revolved around Zao Niang and Zao Shu, with ink flashing from time to time. Ying Ruoli on the side also looked at them in amazement. She had known for a long time that there were such strange spirits around Ji Yuan, but the small paper Crane has seen them many times, but this was the first time he saw the little characters in person.
“Zao Niang has just condensed the spirit, and she is a woman, so there must be many things she doesn’t understand. Ruoli, take advantage of these few days to teach her, and I will go out and bring back some books.”
“Yes, uncle Ji, please don’t worry.” “Master, please don’t worry!”
After Ji Yuan nodded, he walked directly to the courtyard gate and left Ju’an Pavilion. Zao Niang had finally gathered her elf body. Although Ji Yuan knew that the jujube tree was quiet but wise, it would inevitably be harmful to the human world. There was something unclear about the gift, and the book he wanted to buy was naturally for Zao Niang.
Compared with the excitement of the little characters, Zao Niang, who is the happiest in theory and practice, is more reserved. However, she naturally has a doting feeling towards the little paper cranes and the little characters, and even cooperates with Feiwu to discuss from time to time. The small characters in the circle.
Ying Ruoli on the other side felt a sense of intimacy towards Zao Niang even though she had just met the jujube tree.
“Okay, okay, Zao Niang, come and sit down. Although you are just a condensed spirit, I can give this to you first.”
As she said that, Ying Ruoli blew on the stone table. A gust of misty wind blew past, and a red exquisite wooden box appeared on it. She went over and took Zao Niang’s hand and sat down on the table together. side, and then opened the wooden box.
There are combs and hairpins in the box, as well as some simple but not simple accessories, all made of sea gemstones or rare corals. They look dazzling under the sunlight shining through the canopy.
The little paper cranes and the small characters all gathered around the wooden box.
“My dear, is this valuable?” “Nonsense, they are all gems!”
“This is a gift from Empress Jiang Shen, of course it is valuable!”
“It’s so beautiful, I like it all.” “Yes!”
The little people commented, Zao Niang also looked happy, Ying Ruoli said with a smile.
“I don’t know what to give you, so I’ll give you something I like, Zao Niang, do you like it?”
Zao Niang likes the things in the wooden box as well as the wooden box itself, not entirely because women like these decorative accessories, but more like the mentality of small paper cranes and small characters.
“I like it, thank you, Lady Jiang Shen!”
“Haha, just call me Ruoli. Not to mention that we hit it off like old friends, even in terms of status, you are also the spiritual root of heaven and earth. By the way, if you like this, I will send you a few cars next time!”
The chattering little characters all around suddenly fell silent, and the little paper cranes also raised their heads to look at Dragon Girl. These little guys seemed to realize for the first time that Dragon Girl was a real rich man, and even Zao Niang was stunned for a moment.
“Thank you, Lady Ruoli, this box is enough, you don’t need so much…”
“Why are you so polite? There are so many of them that there is no place to put them!”
……
More than a quarter of an hour later, in a bookstore in Ning’an County, Ji Yuan personally selected suitable books. Some of Yin Zhaoxian’s works were naturally indispensable. There were also some classics and even historical texts that could also be selected. Finally, he bought I bought nearly a hundred books and stacked them several times on the counter of the bookstore, which made the bookstore manager’s face bloom with joy.
There is a saying that paper is expensive and books are even more expensive. So many books are not cheap. The bookstore owner has no reason to be unhappy. There are not many shops opened on the first day of the first lunar month. Sure enough, it is a good business if you open your own business. Behind this bookstore is a residential building, so in the beginning When I opened the door, it was just a matter of course.
The last book about musical instruments was placed on the counter by Ji Yuan, and the shopkeeper smiled and said to Ji Yuan.
“This guest is really a scholar. Our Ning’an County is the hometown of Yin Gong Yin Wenqu. If you come here to buy books, you will definitely get some of Yin Gong’s literary spirit. Hey, guest, don’t worry, the price will be fair!”
The shopkeeper held an abacus in his hand and started doing calculations on the counter. Ji Yuan had no intention of making any excuses for the bookstore shopkeeper treating him as a foreigner. Just misunderstand him.
While Ji Yuan was waiting patiently, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He walked outside the bookstore and took a look at the eastern sky. He could feel the dark clouds condensing.
“Rumble…”
There was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, it was a complete winter thunder.
“Shopkeeper, when will the book money be settled?”
Ji Yuan asked outside, but the shopkeeper inside had never heard of Abacus. Seeing that the customer was anxious, he hurriedly replied without raising his head.
“Right away, there are only a few copies left.”
“Crack, crackle, crackle…”
The shopkeeper put away his abacus, raised his head and smiled at Ji Yuan who was standing at the door.
“Okay, sir, the total is twenty taels and three cents of silver. I’ll give you a change, and you can just give me two taels of silver.”
Ji Yuan walked into the bookstore and took out two silver ingots worth one tael. The shopkeeper hurriedly weighed them. After confirming that the money was correct, he said to Ji Yuan with a smile on his face.
“Sir, do you have a car to drive so many of them? How about I send someone to take them to your inn or to your relatives and friends?”
Ji Yuan pointed to the outside of the shop with a smile.
“Look, isn’t there a car here?”
The shopkeeper took a look and found that there was a carriage beside Ji Yuan. He didn’t seem to see it just now.
“That’s good, I’ll help you put the books in the car together!”
The shopkeeper and Ji Yuan moved together a few times, then moved all the books to the car, and then watched the carriage leave before humming a little tune and returned to the store. The profit from this business was worth several dollars. Holy shit.
On Ji Yuan’s side, there was actually no carriage, and the books were not moved several times as the shopkeeper thought. They were just put into Ji Yuan’s sleeves in the blink of an eye.
When Ji Yuan returned home in a hurry, he opened the courtyard door and saw that in addition to Zaoniang and Ying Ruoli, there was also old Long Yinghong. He must have just arrived and was looking around. Looking at Zao Niang, the little paper crane and all the small characters have been hidden in the jujube tree.
“Hahahaha, Mr. Ji, long time no see! I didn’t even have time to read the Heavenly Book of Instruments that covers the wonderful changes of Yin Yang and Five Elements.”
Seeing Ji Yuan come back, Lao Long laughed and stepped forward, bowing his hands to Ji Yuan and saluting him. Ji Yuan did not dare to neglect and also returned the courtesy at the same time.
“It’s been a long time indeed. The Book of Heaven has been watching at Yunshan. Mr. Ying can go and see it whenever he wants. You came to Ju’an Xiaoge this time to call Ruoli back?”
Old Long shook his head.
“No, this time I’m here to invite Mr. Ji to come out. I wonder if Mr. Ji is free?”
Ji Yuan stopped smiling, turned around and closed the door of the small pavilion, then took a few steps closer to Old Long and asked in a low voice.
“Dragon corpse insect?”
“It’s not just that!”
As an old friend, it was rare for Lao Long to come to ask for help. Of course, Ji Yuan would not refuse. Besides, he also thought that he had some confidence to be able to help, so he nodded immediately.
“Since I was invited by the old gentleman, I will help you with all my strength.”
“Okay! In that case, without further ado, we will set off immediately!”
In such a hurry? Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn’t say much. He just waved his sleeves, and more than a hundred books flew out from them, forming a pile on the stone table. They were the ones he bought from the bookstore, and then a dozen more books flew out. Form a stack individually. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com
“Zao Niang, I just bought these books. Reading them can relieve boredom and learn the principles of the world. These are the ones I keep with me and read often. You can also take a look. By the way, are you literate? ?”
Zao Niang looked delighted, stretched out her hand to touch a book, and replied in a gentle voice.
“Back to the eldest master, Zao Niang often watched the eldest master write in the courtyard, and also watched Yin Qing teach Hu Yun how to read. She also saw Yaya practicing calligraphy here and knowing the beauty of writing.”
When Zao Niang was talking, a bunch of small characters had already flown into the “Sword Intention Calligraphy” in the main room, and then the copybook also flew out on its own. As if she was afraid that Ji Yuan would catch them, Ji Yuan raised his sleeves and said, ” “Sword Intent” slipped into his sleeve, and the little paper crane also flapped its wings and got into the brocade bag on Ji Yuan’s chest.
“Well, that’s good. I have something to go out with Mr. Long, and Ruoli must not be able to stay here. I need you to look after the house.”
Ji Yuan laughed dumbly and gave Zao Niang some more instructions, who then bowed lightly.
“Yes!”
“Okay, let’s go. Ruoli will go with me and Mr. Ji.”
As soon as Old Long flicked his sleeves, clouds and mist rose in the courtyard of Ju’an Pavilion, dragging Ji Yuan and Ying Ruoli up slowly into the sky, and they really didn’t stop for a moment.
It wasn’t until he was a hundred feet above the ground that Ji Yuan suddenly thought of something and looked at Old Long to ask.
“Mr. Ying, did you forget to mention something?”
Old Long turned his head, glanced at Ying Ruoli first and then at Ji Yuan, grinning.
“What else can I do? Ask for fire dates for the common embroidery? Hum hum, ha ha ha ha…”
Lao Long sneered and stopped talking. Ji Yuan and Ying Ruoli both understood what he meant.
