Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 213

After finishing the small desserts after the meal, Mo Rushen was still thinking about whether Xia Junyan liked the gift he gave.But what Xia Junyan chatted with him was not to mention the ebony box.

The two sat at the stone table under the big locust tree. At sunset and dusk, the evening breeze added a bit of coolness to this summer.Xia Junyan shook the round fan in her hand, and said softly: "Hey, it's thanks to Mrs. Chen. If it was in another mansion, I'm afraid I should have been kicked out when I sent the name card. It's just that I looked at the copybook. I have a headache, although I can read a few words, but that word is too difficult to write."

The crisp voice made Mo Rushen a little fascinated, and suddenly a smile magnified in front of her eyes. Xia Junyan leaned forward and approached him.

Xia Junyan frowned slightly, and said pitifully: "Brother Mo, your handwriting must be good. Can you teach me? I will stand by and help you grind it. You write, and I will learn it by watching. Seeing that Mo Rushen was silent, and acted like a baby, "Are you okay?"

Mo Ru's deep Adam's apple rolled slightly, only feeling a little dry mouth, subconsciously replied: "Okay."

Xia Junyan was quite satisfied, and happily led the freshly baked Teacher Mo to her special study.When Xia Junyan renovated the shop, she specially reserved a study room for herself.Although there are not many books in it until now, the ones selected by Mo Rushen and paid for her recently accounted for more than half of them.

On the desk were several sharpened charcoal pencils, two pieces of yellowed paper, and the thick book of regulations.There are some words densely written on the paper, it's better to read it twice, and finally give up... Maybe Miss Xia is suitable for learning wild cursive?

"I made Brother Mo laugh." Xia Junyan hurriedly cleaned up the desk in embarrassment. She stayed up all night before and didn't notice the mess on the desk.

Mo Rushen was actually very happy, and taught Miss Xia to practice calligraphy, then he could take out the contents of the box justifiably, and said, "Do you want to take a look at the contents of the previous box?"

"The box?" Xia Junyan was taken aback, and immediately understood.He took out the rectangular ebony box from the next door, and asked, "Open it now?"

It's better to nod deeply.

Xia Junyan was a little curious about what would be contained in such a beautiful box.Rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry?Haha... Don't think about it, these things were very suggestive in ancient times, and Mo Rushen didn't talk to her... right?

But she opened it with great anticipation, slightly stunned: "Is this paper?"

Brother Mo specially sent her a box of paper?If it were placed in modern times, Xia Junyan would definitely disdain it, but after traveling through time, she knows that ancient paper is really expensive!Pick up a piece of paper and look at it carefully by the candlelight. The craftsmanship of this paper is basically almost the same as that of modern ones.Xia Junyan was speechless to herself. She once went to the bookstore and asked that the paper is also sold by size. The store will cut as much as you buy.A foot of paper is almost one penny, and the co-authored money is one-third of their monthly money, and it is just ordinary fine paper for writing.Now this box sent by Mo Rushen... Xia Junyan is a little afraid to estimate the price.

Mo Rushen pretended to be calm: "Miss Xia is the shopkeeper, and I think I usually write some posts and letters, and I think these can be useful. It just so happens that the yamen sent me some, but I don't usually use it very much."

Xia Junyan was suspicious.Will Yamen office use such good paper?But Mo Rushen's cold tone was not lying.Well, it's probably only the headhunters who get this kind of treatment. After all, this can be regarded as the face of the yamen, maybe it should be used for writing official documents of the court.Based on the principle of not wasting money, Brother Mo sent it to her as a souvenir for dinner?
