Chapter 68 Admission Gift
Boss Lu was a little embarrassed: "You earned the money, so of course I'll give it to you. You can give it to your mother when you get back."
He Jiuniang found it funny. Could it be that the women in the family were so profitable during this period that it hurt the elders' self-esteem?
She thought for a while and said, "Brother, this money is earned by everyone together, and everyone gets the same amount."
What else did Boss Lu want to say, but He Jiuniang didn't give him a chance and continued: "Brother, during this time, we need to do a lot of things to build a house at home. It's a good thing for us to be idle and earn some money to support the family. A family is ours We support it together. Without you building a house, we wouldn’t be able to collect 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 are somewhat chauvinistic, not to mention that this is an era where men are superior to women, so she can understand the gap in Boss Lu's heart now.
After his little thoughts were seen through, Boss Lu felt even more embarrassed. He was even worried that his three younger siblings would laugh at him, 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 no one paid attention to this matter.
Boss Lu finally felt a lot better. At the same time, he felt that he was too petty. We were all a family and shouldn't be so fussy.
When they arrived at the door of the bookstore, the three children got out of the car excitedly. Looking at the people coming and going inside, they were a little afraid to go in.
Leizi looked back at his father and third sister-in-law, wanting to feel safe.
Boss 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 and said, "Three younger brothers and sisters, I don't understand this either. Just take the children in. Oh, and by the way, bring the money!"
As he spoke, he handed the money bag over again, but He Jiuniang still refused to accept it.
"Brother, the more you have never been here, the more you want to go in and have a look. In fact, it is no different from ordinary shops. Besides, you dare to enter a bandit's den, but you are afraid that this small bookstore will fail? 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, and they are considered as gifts for them to enter school, so you can just keep the money with peace of mind!"
After saying that, He Jiuniang took several children in. Although Boss Lu was a little hesitant, he felt that what He Jiuniang said made sense. After all, Leizi was his son. When his son went to school, a father couldn't do everything. Don't do it?So I suppressed my uneasiness and followed in.
As soon as he entered, he felt the smell of books. Boss Lu sighed in his heart that this was indeed a place where literati and elegant guests could stay, but it was more refined than rough people like them.
"What do the guests need to buy?"
The clerk in the store saw a group of them coming in and greeted them hurriedly and enthusiastically. Today is the day when Songhe Academy starts. Many people come to buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The business in the bookstore is very good.
He Jiuniang didn't know much about these things, so she directly said to the boy: "Brother, some of the 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, just 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, so there is no need to buy them too expensively. After they have learned enough, they can use high-quality ones.
There is no shortage of rich people in the county, but rich people do not come to patronize their bookstores every day. In many cases, the income of their bookstores comes from ordinary people, so there are indeed books in the bookstores suitable for ordinary people. It is not difficult to recommend products.
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 pen introduced in our bookstore. The pen barrel is made of bamboo. It is low-cost and of high quality. Each pen only costs [-] Wen.
For small ink sticks, commonly used Songyan ink is recommended, costing [-] cents, and is suitable for children who are just learning to write;
The recommended paper is hemp paper, which costs fifty-five cents for three feet. White linen paper is finer than jute paper and is also twenty cents more expensive. The gentleman and his wife make their own choice;
As for the inkstone, if it is used by children, if there is no special need, just buy the most commonly used ordinary stone inkstone, which only costs [-] cents! "
The young man regarded Mr. Lu and He Jiuniang as husband and wife. The three children looked very similar, and a family that could send three children to school at one time must be well-off. It would not be a waste to call them "Master" and "Mrs." Pass.
He Jiuniang didn't care. Boss Lu was so frightened by the price that he didn't notice it at all, so no one opened his mouth to explain.
The children heard the price and didn't understand how expensive it was, but Leizi knew the price was definitely not cheap when he saw his father's pale face.
Boss Lu finally understood why many people did not dare to send their children to school. Not only were they expensive to repair, but these pens, inks, paper and inkstones were also very expensive, and these items were not very durable. Ink sticks and paper were often purchased. It doesn't add up to a small sum, let alone buying some books and so on.
Boss 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, not to mention that now there are three children at home. How much would it cost?
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, and it needs more delicate white linen paper .”
"Okay! Madam, you are so happy. I will wrap it up for you, little one!"
The young man was a good businessman. He knew at a glance that this house was run 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 filled with 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 that 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 little boy started to praise without caring about anything: "Madam, you have really good taste. This folding fan is also a new product in our store, priced at twelve taels of silver. The fan bones are made of precious purple sandalwood, and the fan surface is from our county. Kang Xiucai's landscape paintings were painted by his own hands, and he also wrote verses on them, and the literati in the city loved them very much!"
