Chapter 43 Buying Books

When the carriage arrived at the corner of the alley, Feng Wan whispered: "Stop."

The man stopped responding and looked back at Feng Wan.

Feng Wan was in a daze.

She looked at Wei Ziyang's mansion two hundred steps away and couldn't help but reach out to touch her face. As soon as the tooth mark on this was gone, she went to find him, which was a little unreasonable. Of course, the most unreasonable thing was why she spoke to him. Did she say that you are going to war? This is your first battle, and it will be a little dangerous and you may be injured?

Or, do you want to be wary of someone stealing arrows?

She can't do that.

After pondering for a while, Feng Wan said, "Let's go to the left alley."

"yes."

The left alley is deep, and the people living here are people who lived in the capital before they were established. The narrow alleyways, bumpy stone roads, low wooden houses, dirty and piled up garbage everywhere, making few noble people come here.

The carriage was a little further after walking a few steps. The driver asked while driving the carriage with difficulty: "Madam, where are you going?"

“Just ahead.”

"Okay."

The carriage is getting faster.

After a while, a deeper, narrower and longer alley that was unpassable for carriages appeared in front of Feng Wan. He called the carriage to stop, and Feng Wan walked down.

Looking from her perspective, you can see that at the end of the alley, there are some broken woods collapsed under a small mulberry tree on the right.

Feng Wan told Yufu: "You don't have to get too close to me."

"yes."

She walked slowly towards the mulberry tree.

In such a shabby and dark place, it is rare for Feng Wan to dress as a well-dressed official wife. From time to time, boys sniffled out their heads from outside the door. They all looked pale and thin, and when they saw Feng Wan, they were stunned.

Next to the wooden side behind the mulberry tree, a thin old man sat. Feng Wan approached, regardless of the old man's worn clothes and dirt on his skin. Feng Wan blessed him and said softly: "I heard that my father-in-law has a book of scriptures, and the little woman wants to buy one or two."

Her gentle and polite voice alarmed the old man. He slowly turned his head and stared at Feng Wan with a pair of dim eyes widened. He looked at him with a dull look. The old man's southern accent was vague, "In today's world, are there Han people? And Chinese studies?"

There was a deep despair in the sound.

Feng Wan couldn't afford to be blessed. She lowered her eyes and said softly: "Some people have blood, Han people, descendants, and Chinese studies are."

Her accent at this time also brought some of the southern accents she learned from her grandfather when she was a girl.

The old man finally stared at her seriously.

After staring at her for a while, he stood up tremblingly and walked towards the dilapidated wooden house.

After a long time, the old man walked out hunched over. He took out a piece of kraft paper from his arms and placed it respectfully and carefully on the table. The old man said hoarsely: "Take it, five golden leaves."

He raised his head, and the old man looked at Feng Wan with empty eyes, grinning with yellow teeth, saying vaguely: "The family plan is difficult. If you don't come, you will have to give it to the barbarians."

Feng Wan knew this naturally. And she knew that the price offered by the old man was higher than the price he offered to the Hu people in his previous life.

She stepped forward lightly, reached out to take the kraft paper, took it apart, and put it in her arms. Then, she took out five gold leaves from her sleeve bag, and Feng Wan whispered: "Teacher, take care of yourself."

Just forget, she turned around and left.

Seeing her walk out, the husband hurriedly met. He looked at the old man who was dizzy and hid back in the room with a trembling eyes, and asked, "Madam, what are you doing in such a place?"

Feng Wan said indifferently: "I heard that he had books here, so I bought one."

In this era, books are extremely precious. Yufu nodded and no longer thought about it.

The two got on the carriage one by one. When the carriage was moving, there were many men with yellow faces and thin skin and turbid eyes coming out. They looked at the glamorous carriage and Feng Wan in the carriage with envy.

A young man rubbed his hands and whispered, "This carriage is good."

A big man glared at him and shouted in a low voice: "Didn't you see that man? A fat man, how can you beat me?"

The boy quickly shrank his head and grinned, "Just say, say."

The carriage finally drove to the main street and came to this crowded place. Feng Wanshen sighed: The alley is old and smelly, and it is really not popular.

Her hand was pressed in her arms, and there was a precious book. In the eyes of some people, it was worthless, but at some times, it was not easy to make a hundred gold coins.

After pressing for a while, she couldn't help but take out the two books and read them carefully in the sunshine.

As I watched, the carriage stopped.

Has it arrived? Feng Wan looked up and glanced at it.

But this glance, she was stunned.

Why did you get outside Wei Ziyang's mansion? Frowning, Feng Wan put the book back into her arms and asked, "What's going on?"

"I'll just answer you."

A crisp and indulgent voice came.

Amid the sound of horse hooves, a girl in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of Feng Wan.

She was not the only one who appeared, parked in three carriages not far away, and stretched out her head.

Before Feng Wan could look clearly, the beautiful girl in gorgeous clothes had arrived next to her car, tilted her head and looked at her. The girl raised her delicate chin and asked sharply, "Do you know who I am?"

Feng Wan was blessed in the carriage and called out: "I have seen the Fourth Princess."

After giving the gift, she asked gently, "I wonder what will happen to the Fourth Princess stop the little woman?"

"See the teacher?" The fourth princess snorted, and she said disdainfully: "There is nothing to say about a woman like you. But that day, you behaved strangely and dared to seduce the Wei family's little boy. I want to do this with you."

She pulled off the whip from her waist, threw it heavily on Feng Wan's carriage shaft with a loud bang, and ordered: "Say! What's going on in Liuyuan Temple?"

When the Fourth Princess asked this, Feng Wan clearly felt that the noise in the carriages stopped.

Feng Wan smiled, she looked at the fourth princess with a gentle and kind temper, and said softly: "My husband and I have only been in the capital for a month, and we are also a woman's family. What can happen in Liuyuan Temple?"

Looking at the princess, Feng Wan said, "It's just a chance. I have always believed in Buddhism. That day, it happened to rain heavily. I vaguely felt like I saw someone coming and going under the incense table of the Bodhisattva's incense table, so I kept my mind."

She looked at the fourth princess and her voice turned clear and happy, "The Bodhisattva is merciful, and she must not tolerate the filthy people doing shameless things in front of it. After thinking about it, I couldn't feel at ease. So I took advantage of the day to burn incense and press it under the incense table."

Feng Wan asked the fourth princess: "Does the princess think that a little woman can't do such a thing?"
