Shen Xingluo's eyes flashed slightly when he saw the cloth bag on the wooden cart.
"Madam, did you buy rice and noodles?"
"Yes, I think the weather has been a bit cold recently, so I put some food at home so I don't have to worry."
Cheng Xi put the things in the kitchen without thinking much.
"I also bought some cotton and some cloth. Do you have any winter clothes that you need to buy?" "You
should definitely buy a few more."
Shen Xingluo stared at her with dark eyes, "Madam, can you go to the bookstore for me?" "
Of course. "My husband is seriously ill, how can I get out?"
Cheng Xi said this purely to stimulate him.
He is obviously an 18-year-old boy, but every move he makes is more like an old man in his decades, without any vitality.
However, Shen Xingluo not only did not refute, but took her to the study without saying a word.
The Shen family's study room is located on the west side of the north house. As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by the ink all over the wall. The wooden bookshelves are filled with books, and there is no shortage of pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
The handwriting of the Great Yan Dynasty was traditional Chinese. Since printing was still in the rigid period, the Four Books and Five Classics were handed down by hand.
As she was observing, two more bound books appeared in front of her.
"These are two books I copied recently. You can give them to Shopkeeper Zhao of Huaiyuan Bookstore in exchange for one tael of silver."
"Do I need to bring you some paper and pen?"
"No."
Shen Xingluo took out a wooden box from the bookshelf. There is a ginger book, and the right hand is touching the back of the book.
"Give this book to Shopkeeper Zhao and exchange all the money for grain."
"Is this an ancient book?"
"Hmm."
"It seems to be quite valuable. How much silver can it be sold for?"
"Two hundred taels."
Oh, So valuable!
Cheng Xi took the ginger book and felt a little more thoughtful.
Ancient books are more important than life to readers. This book seems to be on the bottom of the box at first glance, and its owner actually wants to sell it for food at a huge expense. This can only
mean that the latter is more important.
Shen Xingluo was looking up at the sky outside the window at this time, with no trace of reluctance for the ancient book in his eyes.
If it were in the past, he might have regarded it as a treasure, but in another life these things are not so important. What's more, many dignitaries in his previous life knew that he liked to give gifts with both hands, so there were countless ancient books in his study.
"Keep such an important thing."
Cheng Xi pondered for a moment, then put the ginger book in his hand back into the wooden box.
"Dad, when he was traveling as a escort, gave me a lot of novelty toys, which can be used in emergencies."
Cheng Daqian did have the habit of bringing souvenirs to his daughter, but most of them were local gadgets and not worth a few coins.
Apparently Shen Xingluo thought so too, as his black eyes stared at her for a moment.
"Wait, I'll show it to you."
After Cheng Xi returned to the room, he quickly entered the space. There was a lot of debris accumulated in the storage room. After rummaging for a while, he picked up a wooden box with carved flowers and came out.
"Here, my husband, give me a palm eye?"
She is not a pure ancient. The original owner has very few memories about novel things. The reason for letting the cheap husband take a look is to let him give up the idea of selling ancient books, and secondly, it also makes him give up the idea of selling ancient books. He estimates the price.
The rectangular wooden box was placed neatly on the desk, with several plum blossoms carved on the outside, exuding elegance.
Shen Xingluo's eyes gradually showed interest, and he opened the wooden box with his slender white fingers, revealing a set of exquisite tea sets in front of him.
It was a jade glazed enamel tea set, an exquisite tea bowl with six slightly smaller tea cups.
Because this tea set is based on the theme of plum blossoms, it has a pink color overall. It has the unique transparency of colored glaze without any impurities. It is breathtakingly beautiful. There are wooden handles on one side of the pink tea cup, and plum blossom branches extend from here to the cup body. The alternating appearance of green leaves and red petals adds a bit of poetry.
Undoubtedly, its beauty was shocking in ancient times when enamel had not yet appeared.
Shen Xingluo picked up one of the teacups and observed it carefully, his deep black eyes flashing.
He has never seen such beauty and elegance even if he has seen rare things in the world. Is it really a novelty bought by the father of the Cheng family for his daughter?
Cheng Xi had no idea how scarce the things he bought for 118 were.
"How about it, is it worth 200 taels?"
This thing looked really elegant on its own. At that time, she was also led astray by the young lady in the live broadcast room, but she bought five sets in one go and never bought them again. Have a look.
Without him, the colorful jade, glass and enamel colors would look like nothing if they were put together!
