He also saw Xu Xiucai's entanglement. Xu Xiucai gave him a pen and the inkstone was already very good.

When he was practicing calligraphy in elementary school in his previous life, his brush was only about four yuan.

But in the bookstore in Bailu Town, a wool brush with the lowest price also costs eight cents, while a better wolf hair brush and other brushes cost more than twenty or thirty cents.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, one brush with large characters sold in Kaifeng was 100 liters. This was recorded in Yang Yi's "Yang Wengong Tanyuan": "When he was good at writing, his pen was very large, he used all the strong brushes, and he was called Sanzhuo's pen. The sellers in the market had a hundred liters of one liter."

In the third year of Shaosheng, Su Shi bought two brushes in Lingnan for twenty-month. The shape was not good, and the shape was “thick like a pen”, and “the ink was floating, and it was about to disperse, so I believed that there was no pen in Lingnan.”

Although it is suspected of regional blackness, it is indeed of poor quality for every pen.

As for the inkstone, the prices vary depending on the materials and colors of the inkstone.

"It's a way to write on a wooden board in water."

"When you enter school, remember to bring a table and a bench."

Xu Xiucai nodded, showed appreciation, and said nothing.

He was able to give old pens and inkstones because he was thinking of Bai Gui's respect for his teacher this time. He did not give much hope for whether Bai Gui had achieved success or not. It was too late to learn from the age of thirteen or fourteen, and even if he could read, it would take several years, and he would not have the memory of childhood.

As Zhu Xi said, "As aged eight, one will come from the princes and the children of common people, and all go to elementary school to teach them to sweep, respond, advance and retreat, rituals, music, shooting, archery, books, and quotations."

After the age of fifteen, it was what Zhu Xi called "university" education. It was based on the "learning the things" in elementary school to the "understanding the principles" in university.

Too late!

When Bai Gui left, he had just packed a bag of fine rice, and turned to an old pen and an old inkstone.

The pen is a wolf-haired pen, which can be sold in a bookstore for thirty cents. Although the hair is removed and the paint on the pen tube is also dropped, it can be worth five or six cents. The old inkstone is not very clear about the material of white inkstone, but it is quite heavy, and it is a good inkstone.

Touching the dark and following the memory, Bai Gui walked into a mansion.

This is a three-in-one yard.

It is the house of the Lu family in Bailu Village.

He hurriedly passed by the main hall and he touched the side of the stable.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the lights in the stables were on. A half-large dark horse heard the movement and sniffed happily. Bai Gui added hay and beans to the horse grass as usual, and then beat an egg.

When you push the door open, it’s a fire kang.

The orange-yellow flame of the stove fire emerged from the gap blocked by the hard firewood and reflected on the walls of the earthen house.

The valley pole was burned by the fire, and crackling sounds were heard.

There were piles of rolled straw mats in the corner.

On the kang was lying a dark-skinned old man with gray hair and gullies on his face, as if he was covered with loess and was covered with gray.

Bai Youde covered his body with a quilt, his upper body was naked, wearing a shabby treasure, wearing a tunic, and putting on the candle's lantern seedlings, cursing, "You cowardly put on your forehead and clothes, and made the master scold him. What are you doing?"

(The people in Guanzhong, Qin Province have always called clothes clothes, and the ancient name is.)

"Go to the mountains to get some mountain goods!"

Bai Gui said concisely, and he took off his fur and handed it to Bai Youde. This was the only royal winter clothes in the family. Someone wore them out, and the other could only stay on the kang at home.

"In the mountains? Be careful that the wolf will catch you like this!"

Bai Youde was startled, and the light was lit up again by the fire. He quickly got up and looked at Bai Gui's whole body. He found that there was no injury. He breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately he had a stern face, his blue lips tightly pursed, and a sentence popped out for a while, "If you dare to go to the mountains again, I will break your leg! Let your timid know what is good or bad!"
