Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 230 The Lecher in the Bookstore

Guo Qingran now lives in the second room of the Li family as a distant cousin. When Li Yuer is free, she thinks about studying and says to Guo Qingran, "Sister Qingran, our house is now finished. We plan to go to the town tomorrow to invite your father to teach. Then, you and your family can see each other often."

Li Yuer planned to use one guest room as a classroom and the other as a living room for Mr. Guo and his wife.

Nowadays, the thing the Li family has the most is houses.

Guo Qingran happily hugged Li Yuer's shoulders and said, "That's great. I can finally be with my parents."

Guo Qingran usually gives people the impression of being gentle, dignified, well-educated and well-mannered. It is the first time that Li Yuer has seen her act like a child, and she is really happy that their family can be reunited.

Thinking that they hadn't prepared any study supplies, Li Yu'er suggested, "How about we go to town and buy the four treasures of the study? We don't have any books yet. What are the things to use for enlightenment? Sister Qingran should know, right?"

"Yeah, I know." Guo Qingran's eyes lit up, and he said with some regret: "Should I not be able to go out?"

She had been stuck at home for several months, but she didn't want to cause trouble for the Li family.

Li Yuer thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. Wait for me to dress you up and you can dress up as a man."

In the end, Li Yuer made up Guo Qingran into an ordinary-looking boy.

Li Meir was making silk flowers in the main room with the women in the village. When she heard that they were going into the town to buy books, she put down her work and planned to follow them into the town.

She hadn't been to the town for a long time. "I heard that the town is much safer now. I have nothing to do, so I'll go out and relax with you guys."

Li Dalang drove the donkey cart, and Li Yuer ordered another donkey cart from the wooden man Zhang. It was a lightweight one, mainly used to pull people.

A donkey cart is faster than a horse cart and is perfect for carrying people.

Several people came to the bookstore, and Guo Qingran led them to the enlightenment bookshelf in a familiar manner.

Guo Qingran took down a copy of "Hundred Family Names" and a copy of "Three Character Classic" from the bookshelf.

"These two are the most commonly used books for enlightenment, with Hundred Family Names at the front and Three Character Classic at the back. How many should we buy?"

Li Yuer asked the shop assistant and learned that an enlightenment book cost five hundred coins. No wonder most people could not afford to read.

It’s not that their family can’t afford it, but Li Yuer feels it’s not worth it.

"Let's use one for both of us."

Guo Qingran nodded and said, "Well, buy less. I'll help you copy when I'm free. The cost of copying one book won't be more than a hundred coins."

Li Yuer said gratefully, "That's great, but Sister Qingran, don't work too hard. We study mainly to understand the truth, not just for the exams. Don't be anxious, don't hurt your eyes."

Hearing Li Yuer's concern for her, Guo Qingran nodded, "I understand. I will definitely not stay up late to copy books."

Not only are books expensive, but even pens, ink, paper and inkstone are not cheap.

Li Yuer planned to buy Datou and the others’ share as well, so that they could get a better deal together and then ask them for the money later.

Guo Qingran used to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones frequently, so he was very familiar with the prices and quickly negotiated a lowest price with the clerk.

The clerk added another piece of paper in annoyance, "Little brother, this is fine, I'll give you another one, and the price can't be any cheaper."

If they didn't buy so much, the price wouldn't come down.

Guo Qingran said happily: "We will come often in the future. I have many brothers here. Are you worried about not making money?"

The guy watched them carrying a lot of things. It was amazing how many children this family had and how they could still afford to send them all to school.

"Ah!" At this time, Li Meir suddenly covered her butt and screamed.

Everyone looked at her. She blushed and pointed at the scholar beside her, "It's you! How can you be so shameless!"

The scholar was holding a book in his hand and looked around, "Are you talking to me, girl?"

Li Mei'er looked at her angrily, her eyes wide open, "Who else but you! You are so vulgar!"

The scholar looked confused and said with a stiff face: "Girl, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

"What a misunderstanding! It's you!" Li Meir was so angry that tears were about to flow when she saw that the other party was still pretending.

Li Yuer and the others quickly stepped forward to ask, "Sister Mei'er, what happened?"

Li Dalang stood in front of Li Meir, separating the two, and glared at the scholar.

Li Mei'er's eyes were red as she whispered to Li Yu'er and the others, "He, he touched my butt."

"What?!"

Li Dalang's eyes turned red with anger. He pointed at the scholar and cursed, "Look at you, you look like a dog. Have you read all the books of sages?"

The scholar was a little annoyed at being scolded in public, and retorted: "I don't know what I did wrong, please tell me clearly, young lady?"

The scholar looked at Li Meir with a firm and clear gaze. Li Yuer felt that this man was either too good at pretending or really innocent.

Li Yuer looked at the angle at which the two people were standing just now. There was a bookshelf blocking the view above and a desk below. It was a blind spot and he really couldn't find any witnesses.

Could it be that the scholar really chose this angle on purpose?

Seeing Li Meir feeling so aggrieved, Guo Qingran, who had spent some time with her, believed that she was not a liar.

That meant the scholar in front of her was lying. Even though she was usually very well-mannered and well-mannered, she was a little angry at this moment.

"I didn't realize that you are quite good at pretending. Some people talk a lot about propriety and righteousness, but they are full of thieves and prostitutes. It's a waste of time to read the books of sages. If someone like you passes the imperial examination and becomes an official in the future, it will be a great misfortune for the common people."

"You! You!" Seeing that Li Mei'er still looked aggrieved and angry and didn't intend to explain herself clearly, the scholar became anxious, "What do you mean? You don't even explain yourself clearly. Are you planning to blackmail me?"

How could Li Meir have the nerve to say in public that someone had touched her butt? Many people were already looking over here.

"Do you still have any shame? You're the thief crying "Stop thief!" Li Dalang was so angry that he was about to take action.

Seeing the situation escalate, the waiter hurried forward to mediate, "Hey guys! Hey guys! Let me tell you a few words, why are you doing this?"

Li Meir glared at the stubborn scholar, and the scholar glared back not to be outdone.

The girl in front of me, with almond eyes and rosy cheeks, turned out to be an unreasonable shrew.

In this dynasty, a woman's reputation is more important than her life, so Li Meir naturally didn't want to make it public, and neither did the Li family. It was estimated that the other party saw through this and dared to be so confident.

The clerk separated the two parties and tried to persuade them kindly: "Mr. Qiao is very educated and has been copying books in the shop. This may really be a misunderstanding. If you explain it carefully, maybe the misunderstanding can be resolved."

Seeing that the other party was unconvinced and looked aggrieved, I guessed that there was most likely a misunderstanding.

Some things are not easy to say in public, so the guy continued with a tactful look: "How about I find you a ..."
