Chapter 87 Yue Wen Zhai

Chapter 87 Yue Wenzhai

"No, I slept very well."

Cui Yunhao shook his head, walked to her, and watched her pick up the ebony comb and slowly straighten her hair.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

Chu Yingying tied the last bun and was about to go over to open the door when Cui Yunhao stopped her and said, "Sister, let me go."

Chu Yingying nodded lightly, walked to the flower bed with the dirty water in the basin and poured it out, then went into the kitchen to bake sesame cakes.

She was just halfway through the process when she heard movement behind her and turned around to see Cui Yunhao coming in.

Chu Yingying kept moving her hands, only raised her head and asked: "Who knocked on the door just now?"

Cui Yunhao's face was as dark as water, and he said calmly: "Cheng Shuyu."

Chu Yingying was about to say something, but she heard Cui Yunhao continue to say in a muffled voice: "Sister ordered food at his house?"

Yue Wenzhai is the only bookstore in the morning market.

After sending Chu Yingying to Jishi Hall, Cui Yunhao greeted the Lu family, but did not go home immediately. Instead, he walked to the market where Chu Yingying and Chu Yingying used to sell Spring Festival couplets.

The sun shines lazily above the head. It is still early in the morning, but the streets are already crowded with people. All the shops are opening one after another, and the various signboards are dazzling.

After Cui Yunhao heard this, he frowned slightly.

At this time, many people were sitting or standing, crowding under the thatched shed to read, and it was completely dark.

Cui Yunhao heard this and said hurriedly: "Sister, you still have to go to work at Jishi Hall, so don't worry about this little thing. Leave it to me."

Cui Yunhao walked forward, turned two corners, and finally stopped at the door of Yue Wenzhai.

The shopkeeper was a gentle Confucian scholar, so he didn't mind much.

The two of them had a quick meal and quickly wiped out all the baked sesame cakes in the bowl. Chu Yingying wiped her mouth, turned around and went back to the room to get a small purse and put it in Cui Yunhao's hand.

Those who have money will buy books and read them. Those who don't have money will stay here and read to their heart's content before leaving.

Cui Yunhao nodded repeatedly and agreed.

Chu Yingying naturally heard the meaning of his words, but she did not criticize it. She just wiped her hands on her waist and said: "Bring all the dishes to the kitchen quickly. I will go there after finishing the pancakes."

Pay the food bill."

Chu Yingying glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a bright smile: "That's okay. You have grown up and are a little man. It's time for you to learn to handle some things independently. I will get the food money later.

Here you go, you go to Cheng Shuyu’s mother to settle the matter yourself, remember it’s best to haggle, if you can get a penny cheaper, you can also take this opportunity to practice your eloquence.”

Chu Yingying took the baked pancakes out of the pan and put them in a big enamel bowl. Seeing that his hands were empty, she asked again: "Have you brought in those vegetables?"

Cui Yunhao lowered his eyes, touched his nose, and said in a strange way: "Take it, it's a whole sack. His family is really polite."

"Yes." Chu Yingying nodded slightly, and while sprinkling sesame seeds on the browned Hu Pancakes, she said softly: "I discussed it with his mother before. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, I want to stock up on more food, so I asked her to help

I picked some vegetables that can be stored for a long time, such as eggplants, beans, winter melons, etc. It was originally promised that I would come and pick them up myself, but I didn’t expect that Cheng Shuyu would deliver them to us.”

As soon as Cui Yunhao walked in, the shopkeeper came up to him with a smile on his face and said, "Yun Hao is here?"

"Shopkeeper Jia, good morning."

Cui Yunhao also smiled and greeted him.

The shopkeeper took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket, stuffed them into his hand, and said, "This is your reward for copying books for me last month. Count them to see if there are any."
