"Zhuzi Annotation" is Zhu Xi's "Four Books Zhangju Jizhu" covering "University", "Doctrine of the Mean", "Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and a masterpiece of commentary on the Five Classics.

Later generations respected Zhu Xi, so they changed the "Four Books Chapters and Sentences" to "Zhu Zi's Commentary". A book is expensive, but it is not so expensive, right? Besides, it's just a reference book.

Mu Yangling is not very willing for his younger brother to buy this book. With the annotations of this book, it is much easier to read, but students are also less able to use their brains to think, and the things they learn are more superficial.

But she doesn't want to wrong her younger brother, everyone has them.

My husband asked a question, and the other students would understand what it meant after taking out the book, but my younger brother had to rack his brains to think about it and verify it. It seemed a little pitiful.

The shopkeeper explained: "This is an exquisite version, much better than other versions."

"So there are other versions?" It's just a reference book, so you don't need to buy such a good one.

"..." The shopkeeper: "Please forgive me, Miss and Young Master. Unfortunately, the other editions are sold out. Now there are only two exquisite editions. If you wait for other editions, you will have to wait until the end of the new year."

You are so late in replenishment, why is the business still so good?

Mu Yangling flipped through "Zhu Zi's Commentary", but still felt that it was unnecessary to buy such an exquisite reference book, so he said, "Why don't we go to another place? If there are separate volumes, we will buy "Mencius" and "The Analects of Confucius" Two volumes will do."

Bowen asked in a daze: "Why don't you buy a whole volume?"

The scholar next to her was also a little dissatisfied. She saw that Mu Yangling had bought a lot of useless books, but she was reluctant to spend money on her younger brother who was studying. Following the gentleman's style of helping each other when the road was injustice, the scholar treated Mu Yangling sternly. He said: "Girl, reading is the real thing for men. A copy of "Zhu Zi's Commentary" is expensive, but as long as you buy a few miscellaneous books, you can buy it. You know the importance of a copy of "Zhu Zi's Commentary" to scholars." ?"

He looked longingly at the exquisite and heavy book in Mu Yangling's hand, and said, "How many students save money for several years just to buy a copy of "Zhu Zi's Commentary"."

"I don't think "Zhu Zi's Commentary" is very important," Mu Yangling snorted coldly: "I only know how many "Zhu Zi's Commentary" has nourished and crippled the minds of teachers and students, and it is because of this book that Mr. , students translate four books according to this, and the opinions of the articles are almost the same, what's so good about it?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and scolded Bowen coldly, "Don't say that we didn't buy this book now, even if I bought it back, I would easily not allow you to read it. If you let me know that the teacher assigns you homework and you copy the handouts on it, I will beat you. There is "Shuowen Jiezi" at home, you can make sentences and translate by yourself, if you don't understand, you can ask, ask your classmates, ask your husband, this book, you can only use it as a reference at most, if you let me know, you take it as the golden rule , I not only burned this book for you, but you also went to the ancestral hall to kneel for me."

Mu Yangling's anger frightened Bowen and Xiuhong. She always loved them very much, and she was seldom angry. Even when she was angry, she mostly reasoned with them in a soft voice, and she rarely lost such a big anger.

Xiuhong tugged on her cousin's sleeve, and Bowen lowered his head to admit his mistake, "Yes."

Mu Yangling snorted, stared at "Zhu Zi's Commentary" for a while, and then put it in the pile of books.

The scholars in the bookstore all looked over, some glared at Mu Yangling, thinking she had insulted Zhu Zi, and some bowed their heads in thought.

And the scholar who preached to Mu Yangling before took two steps back after a long silence, and solemnly bowed to Mu Yangling, "Girl, thank you for awakening the person in the dream, I understand why sir let us be in class Sentence translations are not allowed to read "Zhu Zi's Commentary."

Mu Yangling gave him a strange look, and said in a voice that only they could hear: "Your husband must regret accepting a student like you."

The scholar didn't expect that he would thank the little girl, but the little girl would still humiliate him, her face turned red for a moment, and just about to get angry, she heard the little girl sigh: "The reason why your husband didn't say it clearly is because you can't say it, you want to Think of Zhu Xi's influence among scholars now, silly boy!"

The scholar's face turned even redder, this time he was not angry, but ashamed, he felt that he was ashamed of his husband.

Because of the little girl's "silly child", she was called a silly child by an eleven or twelve-year-old child...

The shopkeeper also looked at Mu Yangling in surprise, but he didn't say anything. Seeing that they had already made up their minds, he asked, "Miss, would you like to see those school supplies? The pen, ink and paper here are also cheaper than those outside. Some."

"Shopkeeper, we bought so many things, you should count us as cheaper," Xiuhong, who hadn't said a word, began to bargain.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, seeing that Mu Yangling was also looking at him, he nodded with a smile, "This is no problem."

"Bowen, go pick some more paper, don't you have enough pen and ink?"

Bowen has recovered from the reprimand just now, and ran to choose a lot of paper. As the shopkeeper said, the paper here is indeed cheaper than that in the county, so buy more.

Mu Yangling sat with his chin propped up and watched his younger brother move all the things he liked like a hardworking rat.

She couldn't help but touched the silver in the bag, fortunately she brought all the money with her, otherwise she really didn't dare to buy things with confidence.

Everyone was terrified when they saw it, and even the shopkeeper became suspicious. Their parents really feel so relieved to let their children bring so much money to buy books?

Judging by their attire, they don't look like they are particularly rich.

Bowen brought a box of ink with a smile on his face, and said contentedly, "Sister, I'm done buying."

Mu Yangling pushed the things in front of the shopkeeper, "You count the money, but you have to give me a cheaper price."

The shopkeeper took out his abacus and started typing, and finally said: "A total of fifty-two taels of silver." The shopkeeper was silent for a while, and said: "I don't want these three coins, just give me fifty-two taels." .”

Mu Yangling looked at Xiuhong, but Xiuhong focused on the pile of papers at the door, took a dozen from it, and said, "Shopkeeper, we bought so much, please send us a few dozen papers."

The bookstore is a place of scholarly fragrance, how can it smell of copper?

People who came to buy books never bargained, so it was fine for this person to haggle with him, but he even wanted to talk to him, thinking that he was buying vegetables at the vegetable market?

The shopkeeper made a serious face, and said: "Girl, our bookstore has never bargained for the price. The reason why the three dollars are missing is because you bought more than fifty taels at once."

Xiuhong held a dozen papers and looked at him with teary eyes, "Uncle, I know, but this time we spent so much money, my grandma will definitely not be happy. If you give us a few dozen papers, my grandma might be upset." Don't blame us."

The shopkeeper opened his mouth and asked, "Don't your family know when you go out to buy books?"
