Mu Yangling pulled Xiao Er up, smiled at the shopkeeper, "Forgive me, shopkeeper, I am the first to come to Fucheng, and I don't understand many things, so I asked Brother Xiao Er to inquire about it."

When the shopkeeper faced Mu Yangling, it was raining, and he said with a smile: "You are welcome, I am worried that this kid's nonsense will delay your business. If you want to eat mutton, it is easy. Any restaurant in the city has it. There are a few mutton restaurants in the distance.”

Mu Yangling drank the mutton soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your advice, shopkeeper. I'll pay the bill and leave now."

Mu Yangling took out the money to pay for the meal, and dragged Bowen and the others out.

Xiuhong hurriedly drank up all the mutton soup before following, "Cousin, why are we leaving in such a hurry?"

"We met a smart man," Mu Yangling looked forward and sighed, "I wanted to find a few places to sell things like Sanquan County, but just now the shopkeeper guessed who I am from my few words. Here to sell mutton..."

"Others are not stupid. We have nothing to rely on in this Xingyuan Mansion, but we have to be careful, otherwise we won't know if we are sold out."

"Then what do we do now?"

"Let's go to the mutton restaurant and try it. If it doesn't work, let's go to the vegetable market to ask the price."

But the itinerary was not very smooth, because they couldn't even see the owner of the mutton restaurant, but the shopkeeper said that they already had a cooperative butcher, and they would not want the mutton brought by Mu Yangling, even if Mu Yangling said Theirs is the best prairie sheep, and the shopkeeper is not impressed.

This is the case for Mu Yangling's three stores in a row. Xingyuan Mansion is different from a county like Sanquan County. These stores obviously trust their partners who have been working together more than Mu Yangling who came out easily.

Mu Yangling thought about it, and felt that since he couldn't cooperate with them, he could directly find someone who cooperated with them, or sell the sheep to the butcher. Although it would cost less money once he got it, it also saved Dongben Trouble running west.

Mu Yangling looked at Zhang Liu and said, "It's up to you next."

Zhang Liu was full of doubts, so Mu Yangling gave him half a coin and said, "Go and find out who supplies the mutton in these shops."

Zhang Liu has been in the market since he was a child, and he knows who to ask about these things best. After receiving the money, he went to buy some food, and deliberately ate it not far from some stalls, talking to the owner of the stall from time to time. In a word, Mu Yangling just lowered his head and raised his head, Zhang Liu had already squatted down to eat with the stall owner, talking and laughing loudly while eating.

Xiuhong and Bowen's eyes widened and they were stunned. Bowen stammered and asked, "Well, brother Liu is so capable, how can he be like that?"

"People are prejudiced. Everyone in Sanquan County knows that the two brothers are beggars. They are not very courageous. I am afraid that even beggars will look down on them. Even if they have this ability, they have no use for it. But here It's Xingyuan Mansion, his shoes are newly bought, and he wears a wolf fur on the outside, so his hands and feet are in a hurry, he can eat fried chestnuts with sugar for just snacks, and he can even treat strangers to eat without hesitation, the peddler doesn't know His roots, naturally bring some respect..."

Bowen was thoughtful, "That's why Mr. said that people should not be judged by their appearance, and that they should not be looked down upon just because they are frustrated for a while. Who knows if this person has great abilities and promises?"

Mu Yangling looked at Zhang Liu who had already left and walked to another street, looked away, looked at his younger brother seriously and said: "Even if the other party has no great ability and great promise, we can't look down on him. Respecting people is the basic morality. Everyone respects him, Bowen, Xiuhong, remember?"

Xiuhong was still listening in a daze, but when she heard her name, she immediately responded solemnly and in unison with Bowen: "We remember it."

Mu Yangling nodded, glanced at Zhang Liu's direction, and said: "I'm afraid he will take a while, let's go to the bookstore first, blog, Xiuhong, I brought you here this time to let you see the world. "

In this world, apart from the south, there are no women's schools in the north, so she regrets, "Xiuhong, I also want to buy a few more books for you and Xiulan. You have finished reading "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic". You can read all the characters, so you have to read some history books and topography, um, it’s better to read some miscellaneous notes, which record what celebrities and scholars have seen and heard during their travels.”

"Sister, there are poems and prose. I asked my husband. He said that it is better for girls to read some poems and prose. The others are of secondary importance." Bowen is very concerned about this issue because there are three older sisters who are studying at home.

Mu Yangling paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "This one can also be read, well, poetry and songs can cultivate sentiment."

Xiuhong lowered her head like a defeated rooster. She doesn't like to read and recognize characters. She thinks that she can read enough characters now, but her cousin always says that reading more books can broaden her horizons, although she doesn't know where she has broadened her horizons.

On the other hand, my younger sister is holding a book like an idiot and reading it like a fascination, which is obviously just a "Three Character Classic".

But in front of her cousin, Xiuhong didn't dare to say it.

Mu Yangling was very excited. This was what she had planned in advance. If she came to Xingyuan Mansion when she was free, she would come to buy books, because the books here are much more complete than Xingzhou Mansion, and of course they are cheaper.

Mu Yangling went in the direction Zhang Liu was walking just now, but found him squatting in front of a restaurant. She was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled happily. This kid is smart, and he began to figure out what she was thinking.

Mu Yangling patted the blog post and said: "Go and tell Zhang Liu that we are going to the bookstore first, and it will take a long time. Let him wait for us here after finishing his work." He took out a tael of silver from his money bag and gave it to him, "Here, since this kid is on the road, half a tael of silver may not be enough."

"Hey," Bowen took the money and ran over to give it to Zhang Liu, conveying Mu Yangling's words.

Zhang Liu felt excited. If he behaved well, would the girl leave him and her eldest brother behind?

Full of fighting spirit, Zhang Liu looked at the blog post with piercing eyes and assured him, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely do a good job."

Bowen was confused, and he didn't know why Zhang Liu suddenly felt as excited as eating a elixir. He nodded, followed his sister's example, tiptoed and patted his shoulder, saying: "Well, do your best, my sister won't will treat you badly."

After speaking, he ran away.

The peddler who was standing with Zhang Liu leaned over and asked, "Brother, how old is that young master?"

Zhang Liu nodded. He wanted to say that he was a slave, but he remembered that Mu Yangling said that the Mu family had no slaves, so he said, "I am a part-time worker in their family. Young master and miss are going to buy books, let me go around and buy them for them." something."

This explains why the other party gave him a tael of silver.

The peddler immediately looked at him with bright eyes, "Okay, brother, you are so good, Miss and Master trust you so much, you can go home and marry a wife after saving money, you haven't married a wife yet?"
