In the end, Bai Erlang was put into the carriage by Mrs. Bai and went to the county town with Bai Shanbao and others to make a fortune.
The Bai family was not short of money, so Mrs. Bai generously gave Bai Erlang a money bag and said, "Buy a better one. When you learn how to do it, you can help your mother settle the accounts."
Bai Erlang agreed gloomily, but soon after getting in the car, he forgot about this trouble and became happy.
The three friends crowded together in front of the window and looked at the flowers, plants and trees outside.
Obviously I often look at it when walking, but it seems to be particularly different when I look at it in the car.
Manbao proposed to sit on the shaft of the car.
Daji, a coachman, refused.
When Miss Manbao sits out, the two young masters will definitely sit out too. This road is not easy to walk. If a person falls over a bump in the car, should he only get his own young master, should he get Miss Manbao first, or should he save her first?
Young Master Tang?
So in order not to get entangled, he thought they should stay in the car.
Even if the car overturns, it is safest to stay in the car.
The three children all expressed regret and then lay down at the window to look at the slowly moving flowers, plants and trees. They were startled. One said that the yellow flower was beautiful, one said that the red flower was more beautiful, and the other liked purple better.
of creeping flowers...
This is the time of year when flowers bloom the most. The temperature is suitable and the water and soil are suitable. Flowers, grass and trees all compete to bloom at this time.
It's just a pity that all these flowers have been ravaged by Manbao, and she hasn't seen any new varieties appear so far.
Of course, there might be, but she didn't see it just because she was riding a little faster in the carriage.
The three of them arrived at the county town in a bumpy way. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they had to get off the car and go in by themselves. The county town is so big and the sightseeing can be done in a short time by car, which is not interesting at all.
So I might as well walk on my own.
The three of them climbed out of the carriage, dropped their luck and went to line up first.
Man Bao took out a penny from his pocket, and Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang also held the penny in their hands as usual, and it was their turn soon.
The three of them lined up from youngest to oldest, well, they also lined up from oldest to youngest according to their seniority.
Man Bao walked closer and opened his little hands towards the guard guard.
The soldier guarding the gate was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Go, go, go in."
Manbao's eyes widened slightly, "Don't you want money?"
The gatekeeper rolled his eyes and said: "I would like it, but the county magistrate said that the city entry fee has been cancelled. As long as it is not bulk goods entering the city, there is no need to pay the city entry fee."
The guard guard glanced at the child in front of him and thought he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for the moment, so he waved and said, "Okay, come in, there's one behind."
Bai Shanbao had already heard it, and his eyes narrowed with joy. He took a step forward and looked at the guarding soldiers with bright eyes.
The guard guard glanced at him, then at Bai Erlang behind him, and waved directly: "Okay, okay, hurry in, those in the back, those in the back, hurry up, those who don't have bulk goods come forward directly, don't
How long do you want to linger there with just a few people?"
The three friends rushed into the city hand in hand, screaming with joy.
Bai Shanbao didn't know why he was shouting, because he didn't lack a penny, and he didn't feel sorry for the city fee, but seeing Man Bao being so happy, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Man Bao was really happy. She said, "I will tell Datou and the others the good news when I get home. From now on, they can come to the county town if they want to."
In the past, in the past year, big bosses would only come to the city unless they were sure there was business. After all, entering the city requires money.
But now I don’t want it, so they can come regardless of whether there is business or not. It’s good to have them, and nothing will be lost without them.
Daji entered the city one step behind them, but he was not worried about the three of them.
The county is so big. Not only are the three children familiar with the county, but some people in the county are also familiar with them. When they can't find it, just ask.
However, Daji still kept looking at them to ensure that they were within his sight.
He led the carriage and walked behind the three children. They walked and stopped in front of a restaurant. The three of them were gathered in front of a small stall looking at toys. Daji glanced at them and led the carriage directly to the door of the restaurant.
He handed the carriage and horse to the waiter and said, "Give me some good fodder. We'll get it later when we come back for dinner."
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take care of you."
Only then did Daji stand up and follow the three children without urging them to go to the bookstore.
As usual, the three of them strolled through the streets of the county town and bought some delicious food before heading to the bookstore, chatting and laughing.
Knowing that they were here to buy fortune-telling, the bookstore owner narrowed his eyes and praised the three of them with a smile, "I didn't expect that the young master and the ladies learned so quickly that they could learn to calculate fortune-telling."
He asked the waiter to take out two copies of all the quality counters in the store for them to choose from.
The cheapest one is naturally the wooden amulet. The prices of various amulets made of wood are also very different. The most expensive one is a wooden amulet that is dark in color and weighs several kilograms of black. When you touch it, it is smooth and solid.
, Manbao couldn't help but imitate Mr. Zhuang and plucked it twice.
Slippery and smooth.
Man Bao asked, "How much does this cost?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "It's not expensive, five hundred coins."
Manbao was stunned, isn’t this expensive?
No wonder my father said that reading is not something ordinary people can afford.
Man Bao's eyes fell on other arithmetic chips, and he directly dialed all the wooden abacus chips, then selected two and asked, "How much do they cost?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This one is three hundred cents, this one is two hundred cents."
He didn't explain why the prices were different, and Manbao didn't need to explain why, because they were different in themselves, and she could feel the difference now as she picked them.
Man Bao hesitated for a while, but finally chose the two hundred-wen wooden plan, and then looked at Bai Shanbao.
Bai Shanbao was playing with a jade arithmetic chip. He asked about the price and after learning that it cost eight taels of silver, he put it aside. Then he pointed at the remaining black arithmetic chip that Man Bao picked just now and said, "I want this."
Bai Erlang hugged a golden calculation chip, smiled and said with narrowed eyes: "I want this."
The shopkeeper's smile narrowed, "This costs five taels."
The golden calculation chip in Bai Erlang's hand is not pure gold, but plated with copper.
In fact, there is also pure gold, but it needs to be beaten immediately. At least the shopkeeper is not so stupid to beat such a thing and sell it in the store.
If it doesn't sell, isn't it a waste of labor costs?
It's so good like this. The copper-plated calculator looks like real gold. It's beautiful and rich, but not expensive.
Only five taels of silver.
The three of them paid the money respectively, and then entrusted Daji with the wrapped chips. Bai Erlang turned around and was about to go out, but Man Bao and Bai Shanbao went into the bookstore to look for books.
Now that we have gone to the bookstore, of course we have to look for any good new books recently.
Bai Erlang, who had all walked to the door, couldn't help but get angry when he saw no one following him, but he didn't dare to murmur loudly in the quiet bookstore. He could only murmur: "Really, I have been looking for books all day long. I have them at home."
