"It's not easy to invite..." Ming Da thought, "Even the Imperial College can hardly invite a few elders to give lectures, let alone our Ming school is a female school."
Bai Erlang and Zhou Man looked at each other, and together they gave her advice, "Xu Zhiyi?"
"Using favors?"
"But what kind of relationship do I have with them?" Mingda looked at Zhou Man, "In terms of friendship with them, I can't compare to you."
Zhou Man said "Yeah" and thought about it seriously, finally shook his head and said, "No way, my favor can't help them, why don't you try to invite Zhao Guogong first?"
Bai Erlang nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, please invite Zhao Guogong first. If there is a precedent, then you can invite him later."
Mingda began to think, if she went to roll around in front of her uncle, could he come and give a lesson to her girls' students.
"I'll try later, let's go, let's take the two of them out for a stroll."
The students of the Imperial College, Imperial Medical Office and various academies are on field leave, so there are especially many students in the nearby streets.
As soon as Zhou Man and his two children entered the bookstore with their two children in their hands, they were startled by the crowded crowd inside.
Then Mingda said with a look of relief: "Look, my Dajin students are eager to learn, and their studies are prosperous. In the future, our women's school will definitely have a place."
As soon as the words fell, three scholars folded their hands and pushed to the counter, arguing, "Obviously I saw this first."
"Why did you see it first, and I said I saw it first, and I caught it first! Buying books should be based on who gets it first."
"I'll pay double the price, shopkeeper, sell it to me!"
"Who do you look down on, I pay three times!"
"I'm not going out. The one I got first is to be bought at the normal price. Shopkeeper, are you keeping your word?"
A scholar next to him couldn't help asking: "What kind of book is so precious?"
"The White Son-in-law's "Journey to the West", the last book."
"The bookstore is really good. They know that this book sells well, so why are there so few printed?"
"Don't mention it, I heard that the books of the consort are quoted by the bookstore of the princess mansion. The books of the concubine are easy to sell. Once they are printed, there will be a lot of booksellers to pick them up. Few of them fall into the capital. The booksellers couldn’t get in the goods from the bookstore, so they bought and shipped them from the bookstore, so there were fewer books.”
Zhou Man and Ming Da turned their heads to look at Bai Erlang together.
Bai Erlang's face was bright, he held back his smile and said, "It's true that I'm eager to learn."
Zhou Man gave a "tsk", patted the heads of the two children and said, "Go and choose the pens you want."
The two immediately ran with short legs, and the servants quickly followed.
Zhou Man looked around, and also looked at the books in the bookstore, "There are still many empty bookshelves in my library."
"Do you still have time to read the idle books outside?" Bai Erlang said: "Didn't you say that buying a book and not reading it is equivalent to not buying it."
"What do you know, if I don't read it now, it doesn't mean I won't read it in the future, and if I don't read it, it doesn't mean the children won't read it," Zhou Man said, "Look at the shortage of books now, you should buy them when you have them."
Zhou Man went up, called the assistant and asked, "What new books have been released recently?"
The buddy is new here, so he didn't recognize Zhou Man, so he said directly: "Recently, the white son-in-law published a new sea chart book, which tells the story of a young man's adventures at sea. We sold it very well, do you want to read it, lady?" look?"
The shopkeeper over there had just settled the lawsuit against the three scholars, and when he looked up and saw Zhou Man, he immediately went up to him, "Master Zhou, why are you here, please come inside, recently there is a collection of "You Shao Poetry" sent from the area in southern Jiangxi, would you like it?" Don't look at it?"
He turned his head and said to the young man: "This is Mr. Zhou from the Imperial Medical Office, the senior sister of the white son-in-law. Can Mr. Zhou have his book, please don't introduce it indiscriminately."
Bai Erlang and Ming Da came over, the shopkeeper was even more surprised when he saw Bai Erlang, he didn't pay attention to Ming Da at all, leaving Zhou Man behind, he grabbed Bai Erlang, "Bai Erlang, it's rare that you came here today, is there anything you like? We can deliver it to you." Consort."
"Consort?"
When the book buyers nearby heard this, they all turned their heads to look at it, and immediately squeezed over, "You are the white son-in-law? Lord son-in-law, I don't know if there is a reprint of "Journey to the West"?"
"Yes, yes, we can't even buy this book, why don't we print some more."
"Actually, I think that Journey to the West can be written again, such as how the cowpox was planted bit by bit in the end."
"How did you plant it? Didn't you have the pox?"
"I vaccinated, but there was not much risk when I vaccinated, but the first batch of people who tried it must be very dangerous, and they don't know life or death. Isn't it worth writing about such courage?"
"I want to know more about the details of the Gaochang war. I can write more about it..."
Bai Erlang was frightened by their enthusiasm, and backed away again and again, when a scholar found out, he hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about the content of the book, white son-in-law, I have a copy of "Journey to the West" in my hand. Then write a line for a certain question?"
"So shameless, why does the white concubine give you an inscription? There are so many of us who have never bought a book by the white concubine, can we all ask him to inscribe it?"
"That's right, that's right, you can't ask questions!"
Bai Erlang stepped back again and again, glanced at Mingda and Zhou Man who were squeezed behind, fearing that something might happen to them, he hurriedly turned around and left the shop, taking away a group of people, "Thank you for your kindness, there is no need for inscriptions."
Everyone chased after Bai Erlang and went out, and other people in the store who didn't have that kind of thought saw them and followed them out...
The store suddenly emptied, leaving only Zhou Man and Ming Da.
Xibing and Jiulan supported Zhou Man, and put their hands on her belly. Seeing that everyone had left, they breathed a sigh of relief, "We're scared to death."
Zhou Man looked at the stunned shopkeeper, and pulled Mingda: "Let's buy it another day."
Mingda came back to his senses, "Okay."
Immediately greet the people to pick up the two children and leave.
The shopkeeper regained his senses, chased him out, looked at Zhou Manmingda who was going to the left, and then looked at the scholars who were chasing Bai Erlang to the right, and couldn't help waving to the right: "Gentlemen, do you still want the book you chose?" gone?"
Bai Erlang and his two servants ran for a long time before they got rid of the people behind them. When they reached Jiudetang, they all ran away.
Seeing him running into the box, Mingda immediately poured him a cup of tea, "How long have you been running?"
Bai Erlang stretched out two fingers, "Three Streets."
Mingda looked at the two fingers he stretched out, and couldn't help but pull out another one. Only when he had three fingers together did he feel at ease.
Bai Erlang withdrew his hand, exhaled and sighed: "I didn't expect that I am so famous now, it's strange, I don't see anyone blocking me every day when I go to and from the office?"
Zhou Man: "Everyone is so busy on weekdays, and it's not always as idle as today."
"I don't care what you say, I'm famous anyway. It seems that there are more people who admire me than you and Bai Shan." Bai Erlang cheered up: "It seems that there are even more people than Senior Brother Yang."
