"Ah Mo."
As soon as the child heard his name, he turned around and ran into the room inside.
His little buttocks wiggled.
Very cute!
Seeing the little guy's reaction, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but smile like an older sister.
This time, he stood up slowly.
He suddenly felt that the name "Ah Mo" was very familiar.
He seemed to have some impression of it.
After searching through his mind, he suddenly remembered something.
Back then, in the ruined temple, she had cut open a woman's abdomen to retrieve her child.
The businessman asked her to give the child a nickname.
When she held the child in her arms, she said, "It's a miracle that this child is still alive. To be able to escape from death's door and find a new lease of life is also a good omen. Why don't we call him Ah Mo? I hope that in the future, he will be able to overcome the difficulties and come to Ah Mo."
Ah Mo!
He named himself Ah Mo!
No wonder it felt so familiar.
But there were thousands of names in the world, so it wasn't strange to bump into one or two.
She smiled, and the cute figure of the child appeared in her mind again.
Then, he entered the shop.
There was no one inside. They were probably discussing something in the inner room.
She began to walk around by herself, searching for the one she liked in front of the shelves of pens.
There were many different kinds of pens, and they were all very exquisite!
There were even some designs that she had never seen before.
He felt a sense of novelty in his heart.
If she really had to pick one, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to.
Taking a closer look, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a hollowed-out carved wooden box on the shelf behind the counter.
From the outside, one could vaguely see a small golden pen lying flat inside.
It was engraved with auspicious cloud patterns.
She was overjoyed and walked over to take it.
As soon as he opened it, he fell in love with it.
This brush was very detailed, and it would be perfect for drawing lines!
He took it out of the box and carefully admired it.
He couldn't bear to part with it.
And in the inner room.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom was discussing business with the shopkeeper of the Literary Ink Shop.
Because they were too engrossed in their conversation, Ah Mo didn't even notice when he had slipped out. When he was called, Ah Mo came in.
Her small body swayed with her footsteps and fell into the arms of the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom.
He called out, "Father."
"Stay by Father's side and don't run around."
"Mm." Ah Mo nodded.
Then, he obediently sat on a small stool that was specially prepared for him.
At the same time, he imitated his father and sat upright.
Methodical!
It was a little funny.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom ignored him and continued talking to the shopkeeper.
"Then it's settled. I'll get someone to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow."
The shopkeeper beamed with joy and replied, "Yes, yes, I will prepare everything by then. Master Ke, you just need to find someone to pick it up."
"If the stock isn't enough, I'll find someone else to order more. As for the price … we'll stick to what we discussed earlier. Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
"No problem, no problem. Master Ke, you have always been a straightforward person, and you often order from me and take care of my business. So, I'll give you whatever you want!"
"In the whole of Gaoding, I'm most satisfied with your goods," the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom said seriously.
The shopkeeper was naturally grinning from ear to ear.
Ah Mo suddenly looked up and asked, "Father, where's my pen?"
Ouch!
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom had almost forgotten about it, so he asked the shopkeeper, "By the way, has Ah Mo's brush arrived?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "It's here, it's here. Young Master Ah Mo's brush arrived a few days ago. Old Master Ke, please wait a moment, I'll go get it."
As he spoke, he stood up and went out to get the brush.
As soon as he came out, the shopkeeper saw a customer in the store.
He hurriedly went to greet the customer and apologized, "Young Master, I'm really sorry. I didn't know someone had entered the store and neglected you."
Ji Yunshu turned around and saw the shopkeeper walking over with his mustache between his lips.
She smiled, "It's fine, I looked around for a while."
"Then, Young Master, did you see anything you like?"
"I'm looking!"
"Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll go get a pen for another customer." The shopkeeper walked to the shelf, intending to pick up the brush he had prepared for Ah Mo.
But the box on the shelf was missing.
The shelf was empty!
Just then, Ji Yunshu said, "I've already picked one, I'll take this one."
The shopkeeper turned his head and saw that the brush in her hand was the one he was looking for.
"This …" The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed.
His expression was awkward.
'Huh?'
Ji Yunshu could roughly guess from his expression. She raised the brush in her hand and asked, "Is this … the one you're looking for?"
"That's right! Young Master, I'm really sorry, but this brush … has already been reserved. "
Ji Yunshu wasn't a difficult person to deal with, so she naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him. It was a pity that he couldn't obtain what he liked.
She put the brush back into the box and returned it to the shopkeeper, saying, "It's fine, I'll look at the others."
The shopkeeper took the box and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. Young Master, please take another look. I have many brushes in my store, and they are all of high quality! I'm sure there will be more that you like. "
"En."
"Then, please wait a moment. I'll come out immediately."
"You go ahead."
The shopkeeper put the brush back in.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh.
She wasn't laughing at herself for not being able to obtain the brush she liked, but at the fact that the shopkeeper was the only one in this big store.
There wasn't even a shopkeeper!
She sighed and shook her head helplessly.
She continued to look for other brushes in the store.
… …
The shopkeeper handed the brush to the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom.
"Master Ke, take a look. Is this the one you mentioned?"
The Marquis took the brush.
He nodded in satisfaction.
"En, it's this one."
Ah Mo came over. "Father, let Ah Mo take a look."
"Okay, let my little Ah Mo take a look."
Ah Mo grabbed the brush and made a few strokes in the air.
Because he was too young, his movements were very rusty.
It was like flying a kite.
"Do you like it?" The Marquis asked.
He nodded firmly. "I like it!"
"It's good that you like it. This brush is yours from now on."
"Ah Mo has a brush …"
He jumped up and down happily.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom patted his head dotingly and told him solemnly, "But you have to promise me that you will study hard with Master in the future. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
He agreed cheerfully.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom saw that it was getting late, so he said to the shopkeeper, "It's settled then. I'll take my leave first."
"Okay, I'll see you out."
When they came out, Ji Yunshu was still looking for a brush in front of the shelf.
The shopkeeper said, "Take care, Master Ke."
"You don't need to see me out."
"Yes."
Ji Yunshu looked over and only saw the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom's back.
She saw him holding the child's hand and walking out of the door. A carriage had stopped at the entrance. The coachman saw them coming out and hurried forward to welcome them.
Ji Yunshu retracted her gaze.
She continued to look for a brush.
