Just as he was about to close this legendary story that he didn't know where it came from, Zhang Shou suddenly caught a glimpse of two names that appeared on a certain page. At first glance, he felt that the two names seemed familiar. Zhang Tao? Zhu Qing? Why are these names so strange? Isn't this an allusion to him and Zhu Ying
Without caring about the little one waiting for him a gift, Zhang Shou immediately flipped through a few pages. He saw that the Mansion of Duke Zhao had become the Mansion of Duke Yan, and that the so-called Zhang Tao had transformed into a hermit and wise man, the last disciple of a reclusive scholar. He then fell in love with Zhu Qing at first sight, and began a touching love story. His scalp was tingling.
He subconsciously turned to the last page and saw that the bookshop that printed the book was San San Bookshop and the price was one hundred wen. He wanted to grab that fat guy Lu Sanlang and give him a good beating immediately.
If there was no handwriting by Fatty Lu behind this, he would have written it upside down! He was asking for a hundred coins for this crappy book? I don't know how many people he cheated! His reputation was almost ruined!
Although he was angry, Zhang Shou casually handed the book to Ah Liu next to him, and then continued to accept gifts with a stiff face. Fortunately, after that unruly boy just now, the gifts became much more normal.
The two girls gave him cloth shoes with fine stitches. He knew they were for him just by looking at the style and size of the shoes. The other two girls gave him socks made of cloth, which were also for him. Before giving them, the four girls said that the sizes of the shoes and socks were given by Wu, and only the cloth was bought with their own savings. Of course, Zhang Shou would not misunderstand this.
As for boys, the gifts were even more varied. There were old books bought from who knows where, but after flipping through a page, you could tell it was a fake, and they claimed to have spent two hundred coins on it; there were jade pendants with beautiful patterns but of very poor quality; there were beautifully made fans, but I didn't know if they were made by the boy himself; there were also people holding small vases; people giving hats; people giving knee pads...
Zhang Shou didn't think he would use some of these things, but these guys gave them to him solemnly. He could only accept them all, say a few words of encouragement, and warn them not to spend money recklessly.
Of course, even if many of them actually wasted money this time, he didn't think it was not worth it. That kind of sincere thought was more precious than any gift.
When it was the turn of the two widows, they came forward together and handed over a bundle. Seeing Zhang Shou stretched out his hand to take it in surprise, one of them, who was usually taciturn, was speechless, while the other one said quickly: "Young Master, you have taken care of us, and we don't know how to repay you, so we asked you for the size and made this dress for you."
"The material was bought by Ah Li and I after a lot of bargaining with the cloth shop. It's not silk or satin, but just the best cotton. We cut it and took turns to make it stitch by stitch. Although it's definitely not as good as those needleworkers of the rich families, it's a little bit of our thought."
Zhang Shou was slightly stunned, then he opened the bundle directly. He seemed not to notice the slightly embarrassed expressions of the two widows. Inside was a wide-sleeved azure shirt of his. He took it out and shook it open, then said to Ah Liu beside him: "Ah Liu, help me put it on and try to see if it fits me!"
