As soon as they entered the county town, the hustle and bustle was overwhelming. Wei Jingshu stared curiously, looking left and right, looking around, just like a young girl who had just entered the Grand View Garden, looking like she had never seen the world.
Uncle Wei laughed heartily and led Wei Jingshu to the gate of Qishan Book House, where students were walking out in twos and threes.
Uncle Wei tiptoed to look inside, then looked at the sun, and suddenly a trace of anxiety appeared on his face.
After a moment, Uncle Wei patted Wei Jingshu on the shoulder, and when Wei Jingshu looked over, he said, "Sister Shu, the delivery time agreed by uncle and the customer is coming soon. You wait here. Brother Shiqi will come out to find you. When the time comes, just follow your brother Shiqi."
Wei Jingshu nodded obediently, staring at the twos and threes of people coming out.
The girl's clothes were patched with many patches, and they were covered with small balls after years of replacement. Her face was sallow and thin, but her eyes were blinking, making her face lively.
In addition, she already had a good foundation, and the way she stood in the crowd and looked around was really cute, which attracted many people to look back. She was not shy, and if she met someone's eyes, she would smile at them, until she couldn't bear to turn her head away embarrassedly, and then she looked back with a puzzled look on her face and continued to look at the people who walked out of the school door.
Someone came up curiously and saw that the small basket next to Wei Jingshu was full of various wooden toys, most of which he had never seen before, so he squatted down and picked them out.
"Girl, how much do you sell this little thing for?" The man picked out a delicate little fan.
"Just give it to me as you see fit." Wei Jingshu didn't even look at it, and unconsciously played with the Luban lock in her hand. Between her hands, the mortise and tenon joints were tightly connected.
The man frowned, and in a moment, he carefully gave fifteen copper coins.
Wei Jingshu wrapped it with a piece of cloth, put it in her arms, and continued to stare at the door of the school.
The man who bought the toy did not leave, but stared at the Luban lock in Wei Jingshu's hand. Seeing Wei Jingshu easily take it apart and close it, he said angrily: "Girl, what is this in your hand? Can I try it?"
Wei Jingshu was also tired of playing with it, so she handed the disassembled Luban lock to the man. The man put the toy under his armpit and assembled it with great interest. Everything was handy until...
"Eh? Why is there an extra piece? This is different from what you just assembled." With
just one glance, Wei Jingshu saw the problem and reminded slowly: "There are gaps between the wooden blocks you assembled. You have to assemble them tightly."
The man looked left and right, but could not see any gaps. He looked at Wei Jingshu in confusion. The stupid look in his clear eyes explained everything.
Wei Jingshu looked at the man with a hard-to-describe expression, and the man immediately lowered his head in shame.
When the man assembled the Luban lock, the movements of his hands attracted many people. Now many people have gathered around and asked to try it.
The Luban lock had been passed around for many times, and some people had only one or two pieces left, some could not put it together, or...
"I figured it out." The man's excited voice attracted the attention of the four-year-olds.
Wei Jingshu also looked over, and under the man's excited face, she said calmly: "You put it together wrong."
The man was immediately displeased: "Girl, I really put all these things together, why do you say I put them together wrong?"
Wei Jingshu did not argue with the man, but just reached out and poked the loose little thing, causing the man's excitement to fall apart instantly.
The man's expression froze, ashamed of his questioning.
"Girl, we've all bought your stuff, can you put it together for us? If you teach us, we'll take care of your stuff next time."
Qishan Academy is a famous academy in the county, and there are many wealthy sons among them, so they spoke openly.
Wei Jingshu took the Luban lock in her hand again, shook her head seriously, "No need, buy it if you like it."
As she spoke, she showed a mouthful of white teeth, which was bright and eye-catching.
Some people really started to pick it up. There were all kinds of things inside, most of which were unheard of and unseen.
However, many of them were liked by everyone, and they still asked the price.
"Just pay according to your preference." Wei Jingshu said as usual. With this sentence, many people chose it. Some gave more than ten copper coins, and some gave less than one copper coin. But Wei Jingshu treated everyone equally, and almost all buyers received a "thank you for buying."
Before Wei Shiqi arrived, the two baskets of toys were swept away, and the number of people around increased instead of decreasing, begging her to put it together again.
Wei Jingshu slowed down her pace as requested by everyone, and put the wooden blocks together one by one.
But even so, everyone was still dazzled.
"Girl, please go slower. I can't see clearly."
"Ah?" Wei Jingshu blinked in confusion, "This is already very slow."
There was a moment of silence around her, but seeing Wei Jingshu's pure and ignorant look, she couldn't say a word of blame.
Suddenly -
"Girl, I don't know who has taken away the toy I just bought. I have given you the money, but what should I do?" The man who bought the toy at the beginning suddenly exclaimed and slapped his thigh.
Wei Jingshu turned around and saw him staring at the Luban lock in his hand: "How about this, I will give you some more money, and you sell this thing to me."
His purpose was particularly strong.
"I'll give it to you." Wei Jingshu stammered and stuffed the Luban lock into the man's hand.
The man didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Wei Jingshu tilted her head slightly, even more confused: "Ah? No way?"
"Okay, okay!" As if afraid that Wei Jingshu would regret it, the man hurriedly stuffed the Luban lock into his arms. Facing the various looks of the crowd, he did not hesitate to bow and said, "My classmates, I really like this thing, I will take it away today."
After that, he threw half a piece of silver into the basket, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran away.
The students looked at him like wolves and tigers. Under heavy pressure, the general who led the army to force back countless Zergs couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "No... no more."
After a burst of discouragement, the crowd gradually dispersed. Wei Shiqi walked out of the school, saw Wei Jingshu on the side of the road, trotted over, looked around, and was puzzled: "Sister Shu, what are you selling?"
Wei Jingshu pointed to the location of the two baskets.
"Baskets, then you can bring more next time, it's better to bring new ones, otherwise..."
"Sold out." Wei Jingshu said lightly, and Wei Shiqi's voice, which was still admonishing, stopped abruptly.
"Sold... sold out?" Wei Shiqi, wearing a light blue student uniform, had a dignified appearance, red lips and white teeth. His every move was full of scholarly air and gentleness. But at this moment, his face was full of surprise and confusion. How
come they were gone before they were even brought to the store?
He subconsciously looked behind him, and the four words "Qishan Academy" were vigorous and powerful, which was definitely not a store.
