Chapter 382 Dogwood's Character
Qianqian listened to Zhuyu's sarcastic remarks and looked around the bookstore, which had three floors in total.
The first floor is simply decorated, and there are a few chairs by the window for people to rest.
At this time, many customers in the bookstore stopped what they were doing because of Zhu Yu's words.
The young man who greeted Zhu Yu was almost crying, and his tone was full of humility and flattery, "My lady, this ink-filled pen in our shop is the latest one made by Master Zhang Junmo this year."
The young boy looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. He was dressed in servant's clothes and had a clever little round face.
At this time, with red eyes, she suppressed her anxiety and patiently explained to Zhu Yu, "This refillable ink pen is very popular among students because it is easy to carry. The one in your hand is the most durable of all the refillable ink pens. This pen alone costs three taels of silver."
Three taels of silver, he would have to work hard for a year to save that much.
But at this moment, the pen that was worth one year's salary to him was broken into two in the hands of the female customer, and he didn't know whether it could be restored to its original state.
If the female customer broke the pen, she would not buy it...
The boy shook his head and took a deep breath. "Miss, this ink refill pen,"
"The quality is too poor," Zhu Yu said with disdain, and put the pen in the servant's hand, "It's also ugly, so I don't like it."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to go out of the store. The boy hurried forward to stop him but was blocked by a female student who was selecting books.
"I'll help you hold this man back, go and call your shopkeeper."
The young man finally reacted, bowed to the female student in gratitude, refilled his ink pen tightly, and went upstairs to find the shopkeeper.
The girl in student uniform stopped Zhu Yu and said indifferently, "This girl is so unreasonable."
"You broke someone's pen in their store, shouldn't you pay for it?"
Qian Qian's eyes lit up when he saw the female student in front of him, "Tongzi, this girl looks so familiar."
The system smiled and said, "She is Lu Qin, a student at the Spark Girls' School. She was the one who showed you the way when you went on the inspection last month."
Qian Qian looked at Lu Qin and nodded slightly. The eighteen-year-old girl was wearing a sky-blue student uniform.
Her black hair was tied up on top of her head with only a silk ribbon to hold it in place, and she wore no jewelry on her body.
Only a few orchids were embroidered on the square bag on the back, and the orchids were dotted with pearls as dew drops, which was very elegant.
Qian Qian looked at Lu Qin with satisfaction, [Well, this is the style of a student from Da Xia. ]
While praising Lu Qin in her heart, Zhu Yu sneered at the female student in front of her.
"This girl has nothing else to do? Why is she bothering me?"
"My name is Lu Qin, and I'm a student at Spark Girls' College."
Lu Qin introduced herself in a clear and fair voice, looking at Zhu Yu with clear eyes, "Miss, do you know that the ink pen you just used is worth three taels of silver?"
Zhu Yu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Qin, "Life is much better in Da Xia now, but it is still not easy for ordinary people to make money."
"The young man who was helping out in the store is studying in an orphanage. He has to work in this bookstore on his days off for a whole year to save up three taels of silver."
"During this year, he cannot eat or drink lavishly, nor can he spend money lavishly, and he cannot get sick."
"Miss," Lu Qin bowed, "if you leave now, the loss of the ink refill pen will be borne by the thirteen-year-old boy."
"Please, young lady,"
Zhu Yu was full of impatience and pushed Lu Qin's shoulder. "Don't you have anything to do? I told you not to meddle in other people's business."
"How did you say that?" Qian Qian did not deliberately lower his voice, and said jokingly, "The evil of some people is to make things difficult for innocent people to the greatest extent possible within their ability."
"This girl looks like she has a proud character. If you broke the ink refill pen, please take responsibility."
“Don’t make things difficult for those who have a more difficult life than you.”
"That's right," a scholar responded to Qian Qian's words, "the things were broken in your hands, how can you just walk away like that?"
"Really?" another old man stroked his beard. "How could he do such a thing when he looks like a decent person?"
"Those who can enter a bookstore to choose books must be scholars. How can scholars act like this?"
Faced with the gossip, Zhuyu blushed. Just as she was stammering and wanted to speak, a young girl came down from upstairs.
[Money, money,] the system was a little excited, [This is Jiang Baozhu's little girl, she is nine years old this year and has inherited her mother's accounting skills.]
[She is also good at doing business. This bookstore was given by Jiang Baozhu to her little girl for her to practice.]
Qian Qian widened his eyes and looked at the nine-year-old girl in front of him.
The little girl was wearing a light blue skirt. She was a little chubby and had round baby fat on her cheeks, which made her so cute.
【Oh, I miss Rua. 】
Qian Qian’s hands were itching but he still resisted the urge.
Jiang Baobao looked up at Zhuyu, his face expressionless as he spoke crisply, "Sir, my servant has already told me what you are going to do."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and respectfully handed the two ink pens to the young lady.
Baby Jiang took it over and operated it with both hands, and the ink refill pen that was broken into two parts was immediately combined into a complete one.
The onlookers couldn't help but be amazed.
"This refill pen is expensive because it is detachable and can be washed after disassembly."
She paused and looked at Zhu Yu, "This technology is not backward at all, and it should not be eliminated."
Dogwood...
Being confronted by a nine-year-old kid in front of so many people, his face turned blue and red, he crossed his arms over his chest and snorted coldly.
Jiang Baobao turned to the servant and said, "Alu, order someone to hang the portrait of this girl at the door of the bookstore. From now on, none of our Jiang family's stores in the capital will receive this evil guest."
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, there were gasps all around.
Everyone's expressions of blame and dissatisfaction with Zhuyu's behavior immediately turned into sympathy.
Zhu Yu glanced at the expressions of the onlookers, not knowing what was going on, and frowned as she looked at the little girl who had walked back to the bookstore.
"Tsk," Qian Qian sneered, walked to Zhu Yu and deliberately lowered his voice, "So what if I came from the future?"
"I don't think you will be a good person in the future."
Dogwood...
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the person who whispered in her ear, but her eyes only saw a delicate chin. When she looked up, a handsome face came into view.
Zhu Yu's chest heaved, and she gritted her teeth, "Who are you?"
Qian Qian shrugged, "I'm not a special person, I just look down on people like you who are good for nothing but think highly of themselves."
"You should be thankful that you only offended the Jiang family."
[Tongzi,] Qianqian felt a little regretful, [Why didn't Jiang Baozhu use my or my mother's shop to let the little girl practice? ]
system……
[No, Qianqian, listen to what you say. Is it reasonable? ]
【hey-hey. 】
[However,] he lowered his eyes and looked at Zhuyu's shocked expression, [this Zhuyu's character is not very good.]
"You," Zhu Yu took a step closer to Qian Qian, "I am Bai Yun."
Money money...
