Chapter 66 Black Household

When Brother Lei and Lin Ergou met the next day, they looked at the bruises on Lin Ergou's right eye for a long time and couldn't react.

"Young Master Lin... are you?"

"Don't care." Lin Ergou glanced at Brother Lei. He didn't want to talk about this. He couldn't tell Brother Lei that he was beaten up by Zhang Sanhua for hiding money in the quilt. "What happened to you yesterday."

"There are no major families in the city recently. The Miao family helped their youngest master to invite a gentleman. The Liu family is recruiting a master who knows farming." Brother Lei lowered his head and did not look at Lin Ergou's face. "The Wu family seems to be preparing to have a flower party recently."

Lin Ergou raised his eyebrows and said it was a flower party, but in fact it was a blind date banquet. Young boys and girls sat separately, recited poems and essays, and shot archery and threw them into pots. But this season is not suitable for a flower party, right?

"Is the Wu family in a hurry to get married?"

"This is not the case. The flower meeting is held every year, and several families take turns to host it. It's the Wu family this year. But it's a bit late at this time."

"Then do you know why it's too late?"

A light flashed in Brother Lei's eyes. He knew it naturally, but he could not speak directly without evidence.

"If the young master wants to know, I'll check it now."

"That's a problem." Lin Ergou drank a bite of tea and put five taels of silver on the table. "You can use this money first. Also, you are not my servant, so you don't have to call me a young master."

"What do you call you?"

"Just call me Brother Lin." Based on age, he is the same age, but Lin Ergou really doesn't want to hear others call him Ergou, "I'll call you Brother Lei, too."

I didn't want to be inferior to others, but I couldn't bear to bow my head because of life. Of course, Brother Lei was willing to listen to Lin Ergou saying this.

"By the way." Lin Ergou suddenly remembered something, "What are your surnames?"

Brother Lei was silent for a while, and finally asked this question.

"We don't have a last name."

Without a surname, one possibility is a slave, and the other possibility is a black householder. No matter which possibility, it has its own troubles.

Lin Ergou was worried again and thought he had taken a chance, but he didn't expect it to be a problem...

On the other end, Zhang Sanhua was also very annoyed.

When she saw that the money was discovered, she was nervous and punched Lin Ergou. Lin Ergou stared at the circle of eyes and looked at her expression. She still felt a little cold on her back when she thought about it.

"I'm afraid of hair." Zhang Sanhua comforted herself and stuffed a pastry into her mouth, "Anyway, he can't beat me."

After doing some psychological construction for herself, Zhang Sanhua was resurrected on the spot and patted the debris on her hands. She decided to go out for a walk and complete her plan to travel around Youfeng City.

"Brother Third, where are you going?"

I don’t know what Lin Ergou said to Sangsang, but Sangsang looked nervous when he saw Zhang Sanhua.

"I'll just go for a walk." As soon as I finished speaking, two small tails fell on the hem of my clothes.

Zhang Sanhua turned around speechlessly, looking at her with two pairs of big eyes.

"Brother Lin said, let us follow you."

Zhang Sanhua was a little soft-hearted, but if she took them with her, it would be difficult to go there. Because of the quarrel with Lin Ergou, she made up her mind to take this opportunity to take a look at all the places Lin Ergou was not allowed to go.

"I promise to come back first than him. Then you just want to keep following me." Zhang Sanhua tried to convince the two young people and encourage others to lie. It was not her who lie.

"No." Sangsang was determined. Lin Ergou was the financial supporter of the money, so he had to listen to his words.

After looking at them for a while, Zhang Sanhua was defeated.

"Okay, you guys follow." After thinking about it, it seemed that I hadn't visited a book market or a ghost market. The ghost market must be closed now, and the book market should still be open. "Do you know where the book market is there?"

"Book market?" Sangsang tilted his head, "I haven't heard of it, but if my third brother wants to buy books, there are bookshops."

There is no book market? Zhang Sanhua frowned, and Mr. Lin coaxed her again? Didn’t he say that there are book markets in several places he lived in?

"That's fine, take me to the bookstore to have a look."

When I arrived at the so-called bookstore, it was actually a place that sold the four treasures of the study. There were not many books, but there were not many. I read them casually, and almost all of them were found at Mr. Lin’s home.

"Shopkeeper, are these books?" Zhang Sanhua called the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was waiting for the guests. Seeing that it was a few children, he called a waiter to greet them.

"What kind of book do you want to buy?" The waiter looked smiling and spoke politely.

"It's fine if you don't care about any kind of thing, just have never seen it." Zhang Sanhua didn't mind and just came to a waiter, after all, she didn't look like a big customer.

"Have you seen these guys?" The waiter was a little surprised. If this was true, the person in front of him was quite good.

"It's almost the same. These books are all from more than ten years ago." Zhang Sanhua was a little disgusted. Even if Minfeng County had no choice, she didn't expect that there were only these books in a big city like Youfeng City.

"Then wait, I'll get you a few new ones. But the price is......"

"Call it and tell me the price." Zhang Sanhua was not panicked when she had money in her bag. It didn't matter if she could find a basic new book and spend some money on the road.

"About a hundred documents per volume."

The two little ones who only heard and didn't say anything took a breath. This was too expensive.

Zhang Sanhua thought about it in her heart, waved her hand boldly, "Come it."

"Okay!"

After a while, the waiter raised a wooden pallet and placed about twenty or thirty books on it. Zhang Sanhua really chose four books, but she still thought it was too few.

"That's not much?"

"That's all. There is no way. Youfeng City produces grain, but there are agricultural books, but there are not many others. If you have the chance, it's better to go to Jingyu City to take a look. If you have a lot of books, you have opened a book market and the price is also cheap."

Logically, there are many books in places with many literati, such as Lucheng, but there are not necessarily many literati, such as Jingyucheng. Literati talks about Jingyucheng very complicated. First, they are happy that as long as they have money, there are no books that cannot be found in Jingyucheng, and second, they despise good sages and are stained with the smell of money by Jingyucheng.

Jingyucheng is a place for making paper and printing books.

Zhang Sanhua had heard of the name Jing Yucheng and didn't know much about the others. She secretly wrote it down and decided to wait for Lin Ergou to calm down and fool him to go to this place to take a look.

"Brother, do you think you need anything else?"

Zhang Sanhua looked at Sangsang and Xiaoyuer, and asked the waiter: "Do you have an enlightenment book?"

The waiter was stunned and looked at Sangsang and Xiaoyuer, and immediately understood.

"Yes, I'll find it for you."

Before Sangsang and Xiaoyuer could react, Xiaoyuer spoke blankly: "Third brother, why do you want the Enlightenment Book?"

His dazed look pleased Zhang Sanhua. Zhang Sanhua pointed his nose and said with a smile: "Let me enlighten some little fool."

Xiao Yuer still didn't react. Sangsang's face changed and he waved his hand quickly: "This doesn't work, how can this work?"

"I have the final say whether it's OK or not." Zhang Sanhua pretended to be cold, and Sangsang immediately fell silent.

Who doesn’t want to read? It’s just that their identities are... Third brother is so fierce again. Sangsang feels more and more aggrieved the more he thinks about it, and his eyes gradually turn red. Zhang Sanhua and Xiaoyuer are at a loss when they see it.

"What's wrong? I didn't say anything." Zhang Sanhua had a headache. Sangsang didn't pretend like Youyou often did. It made people feel distressed if the little girl wanted to cry.

"San brother." Xiao Yu'er reacted, "We cannot read. We are black households."

Zhang Sanhua didn't understand and was about to ask, but the waiter brought the book over.

"Look at these books?"

Zhang Sanhua looked at it and found that there was actually the Three Character Classic. She looked at the little girl with red eyes and decisively paid for the payment.

“Born!”

Zhang Sanhua: What a bad thing about a black householder.
