Chapter 328: Bookstore

Shangguan Che pulled Jiang Yuetang inside and said, "Let's go to the strategy book area to have a look at it first, then go to literature and history, and then to philosophy, how about it?"

These three categories are all needed by Jiang Yuetang, so Jiang Yuetang nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Shangguan Che took her hand and went to the strategy book area.

Because he knew that Jiang Yuetang was going to compete for the top strategist within three years, Shangguan Che chose eight strategy books for her, and then took her to the literature and history area.

This is a door-facing area, as the two can see the doorway and the people on the road through the window lattice.

Literature and history books are relatively more interesting to read, so Shangguan Che and Jiang Yuetang quickly immersed themselves in the books in their respective hands.

I don't know how long I watched it, but Shangguan Che, who felt that his neck was a little tired, raised his eyes and rubbed his neck with one hand. At the same time, he glanced outside.

The sun had risen so high that it was shining brightly outside, and there were not many people on the road in the early summer of the hot summer.

But just as Shangguan Che wanted to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly froze, and not far from the main entrance of the bookstore, a young man stood in front of one or two carriages, looking a little familiar with his appearance, so Shangguan Che stared at him, trying to remember if he had really seen him somewhere.

Suddenly, he remembered that this was the Shangguan Gongzi he had seen last time on the Huanhe Painting Boat? At that time, he had known Shangguan Gongzi because a girl surnamed Cheng had written a letter of rejection to this Shangguan Gongzi, but he had changed into the clothes of the shopkeeper at that time, which was very different from what he was now.

Who was he waiting for? The sun was so big, why didn't he stay in the bookstore?

Shangguan Che couldn't help but have some doubts, so he secretly observed the Shangguan Gongzi for a while. He noticed that the Shangguan Gongzi kept looking into the bookstore, sometimes taking a few steps closer to the door of the bookstore, and then cautiously and vigilantly pushing back a few steps. Sometimes, he would pace slowly by the carriage, as if waiting for someone.

Shangguan Che withdrew his gaze and continued to read his book.

After about two quarters of an hour, Shangguan Che looked up and looked outside, and saw that Shangguan Gongzi had walked to the door of the bookstore and was looking into the bookstore.

This should be waiting for someone, right? Shangguan Che couldn't help but think, and also took the opportunity to look at the people in the bookstore.

Unfortunately, there were too many people in the bookstore, and he didn't know who he was waiting for, so he continued to read his books.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Shangguan Che looked out of the door again, and saw that Shangguan Gongzi was standing back beside the carriage, still waiting patiently.

Shangguan Che also picked several books in the literature and history area, some of which were bought for himself, and some for Jiang Yuetang, and then he took Jiang Yuetang to the area of philosophical books.

The location of this area is facing the back of the house, so Shangguan Che can't see the Shangguan Gongzi at all.

He and Jiang Yuetang chose a number of good books in this area, and took them to the counter to pay the bill along with the ones they had chosen before.

When they came out of the bookstore after paying the bill, it was already noon, Shangguan Che said to Jiang Yuetang, "Why don't we find a restaurant near here and have lunch before going back?"

He was mainly afraid that she would be hungry, but he was not so afraid of being hungry.

"Hmm. Xiao Jia nodded obediently.

Since there is such a famous bookstore here, there are definitely restaurants nearby. Previously, Shangguan Che had bought books and left in a hurry every time he came, so he didn't know where there were restaurants in the area, so they asked as they walked, and soon learned that there were several delicious restaurants on a street not far ahead.

Since there is a bookstore, of course, there must be food and accommodation to match, but this restaurant is located at the foot of the mountain, although it looks inconspicuous, but the taste is very good.

Jiang Yuetang was already hungry, so she ate with relish.

Shangguan Che smiled and said, "I have an appetite when I watch you eat, why do you come to say that any dish is delicious?"

Jiang Yuetang replied while wiping his mouth with a handkerchief: "It's already delicious." ”

"Is there anything you don't like to eat?"

Jiang Yuetang's small eyes rolled and replied, "I don't dare to eat fatty meat and some animal offal." ”

Shangguan Che smiled and touched her head and said, "You are really a kind-hearted child. ”

After lunch, the two of them went to the parked carriage.

The carriage stopped at a distance from the bookstore, so they returned to the bookstore.

At a distance from the carriage, the son, surnamed Shangguan, was talking to a woman.

The woman wore a wide-brimmed hat surrounded by a thin veil of veil that made it impossible to see her face. She is of medium height, graceful in posture, and wears a dress with blue flowers on a white background, which looks quite elegant and refined.

The woman was apparently reluctant to talk to him any further, so she saluted him and headed for her carriage.

The son, surnamed Shangguan, suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulders.

She was startled and immediately struggled to break free from his shackles, but his hands were so tightly grasped that she couldn't move at all.

Shangguan Che and Jiang Yuetang both saw this scene, and the two were stunned.

The woman's two maids stepped forward and tried to pull the boy away, but they didn't have enough strength and were pushed to the ground by the boy.

"Let go of your hands and have something to say. It was the woman's voice, and there was majesty in it.

The man surnamed Shangguan hurriedly let go of his hand, looked at her and said, "Miss Cheng, I have thought about it for a long time since I received your letter of rejection, you said that we are not suitable, but we have only met once before, and your understanding of me must be very limited, so I hope you don't jump to conclusions too early and give each other a chance to get to know each other better, okay?"

"I understand Childe's thoughts, but I believe in my own vision, suitable or inappropriate sometimes just need to know at a glance, there is really no need to waste each other's time and feelings. The woman said softly.

"But I'm ...... I really like you so much, please give me another chance, okay?"

The woman shook her head slowly, "That will only hurt you more." She blessed him and said, "I'm leaving." Childe will definitely be able to find someone more suitable for you in the future. ”

The woman said that she wanted to continue walking. He grabbed her hands sharply and pleaded, "Give me another chance, okay?"

The woman shook her head, trying to break free of his hands, but her hands were clutched by him, and she couldn't move at all.

Seeing this, Shangguan Che immediately stepped forward quickly.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuetang also followed closely.
