Chapter 143: Tonggu Bookstore
Shen Liancheng and Li Ji left Furong Garden with their hearts in mind, and they were speechless all the way. γLatest chapter reading. γ
When he was about to return to Qingqiu Garden, Shen Liancheng suddenly paused.
"Aman......" Li Ji stopped beside her, looking at her, a little anxious, for fear that she would have thoughts that she shouldn't have.
"Why does the Son of Heaven attach so much importance to Chen Xiang? Isn't it just trying to fake his power and eliminate internal worries? Shen Liancheng muttered, since Chen Xiang can use the hand of the Son of Heaven to put on small shoes for herself, then why can't she use the hand of the Son of Heaven to make him useless?
To eliminate internal worries, the first thing should be to reassure the people. After the destruction of the Chen State, why did some people keep causing trouble? Because the people of Chen in the south are slaves and servants, living a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs. If this status quo is not changed, what if the Northern Zhou Dynasty exterminated forces like Xiaoerdao? There is a small ear knife today, and maybe there will be a big ear knife tomorrow.
How can the people of Chen State live a worry-free life like the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?
The edict issued by the Son of Heaven alone does not seem to be able to change the discrimination of the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty against the people of Chen. Like two races, the strong will always bully the weak. And the weak live in the land of the strong, which is undoubtedly a kind of sojourn. Even under the decree encouraging intermarriage, there are not many Northern Zhou people who are willing to intermarry with Chen Guoren.
ββ¦β¦ Aman! Li Ji called heavily, because she turned a deaf ear when he talked to him in front of her head.
"Huh?" Shen Liancheng came back to his senses, a little confused, "What did you say?" β
"......" Li Ji was speechless for a while, looked at her helplessly for a moment, and then said: "I said that you relax, I will not do anything sorry for you because of the pressure from my father and mother." β
"Oh, I know." Shen Liancheng nodded, she naturally knew. But she didn't want him to be embarrassed, so she had to think, she had to think, and she was eager to come up with a way other than "choice". Instead of waiting until he was forced to a desperate situation by the Son of Heaven and Chen Xiang, he was at a loss.
"Where's your study?" At this time, she needs to read books, she needs to supplement her knowledge, and she needs books to bring her inspiration.
"I'll take you." Although Li Ji didn't know what Hu Sihai was thinking in her little head, she was in a better mood when she saw her black and white phoenix eyes.
And when he entered the study and saw the books inside, Shen Liancheng was a little disdainful. The Founding County Mansion of Nuoda, the study room is not half the size of the Taifu Mansion, and when you glance at the books on the top, it is even more familiar to Shen Liancheng, and none of them are unusual.
She flipped through it, disappointed.
Li Ji scratched his head, a little embarrassed to ask, "What book does Aman want to read?" I asked Ah Ze to go to the bookstore to buy it. (Bookstore: A place where ancient books were bought and sold and circulated.) οΌ
Yes, you can go to the bookstore! Kyoto's largest bookstore, Tonggu Zhai, collects scriptures and collects classics, and Shen Liancheng has not been there before. She even remembered that the shopkeeper there was surnamed Ning, and anyone who knew him would call him "Mr. Ning", and she was no exception.
"Why don't we go to Tongguzhai now?" Her eyes were happy, and she was about to go out with Li Ji in tow.
ββ¦β¦ It's good. Her legs and feet are windy, and Li Ji has no choice but to follow if she agrees.
He couldn't read books since he was a child, but he unexpectedly married a lady who read countless books, which was really his blessing. After having a child, he is not afraid of bad upbringing.
Thinking about it like this, the more I thought about it, the more boundless I became, and my heart was excited, and there was an inexplicable smile on my face. When the slaves in the house saw it, they all said that the prince had married Mrs. Shizi, and they were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together.
When she arrived at Tonggu Zhai, Shen Liancheng found that the shopkeeper of Tonggu Zhai was no longer the one she knew before, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised. "When did you change people? What about Mr. Ning? She couldn't help but ask the angry middle-aged man in front of her.
"Tonggu Zhai has changed owners, and the previous people have changed." The middle-aged man replied respectfully. "I'm the new shopkeeper here, Duanmutso."
"Mr. Duanmu." Shen Liancheng bowed his chin slightly, and didn't think much about it.
Duanmu cuo returned the salute, "Presumably Madame is a regular customer of Tonggu Zhai?" β
"I haven't been here for almost a year." Shen Liancheng thought about it and answered.
Duanmu Cuo smiled and said politely: "Madame is here this time, what book do you want to buy?" β
"I'll see." Shen Liancheng said and looked at the bookshelf on the side.
"Yes, ma'am, please."
After watching it for a long time, I was not satisfied. Seeing that Duanmu Cuo had been following her diligently, she looked directly at him and asked, "Are there any books on governing the country or anything like that?" β
"The ...... of Governing the Country on Strategy" Duanmu Cuo was a little surprised, a female streamer, she actually wanted to read the book on Governing the Country? The index finger ran over the mustache on the side of his mouth, and he hesitated: "Yes, yes, but ......"
"But what?"
"Madame, look over there." Duanmu Tso flicked his hand and pointed to the doorway leading to the inner room, "There are still some books there, which our hosts like to read." It's just that I don't dare to sell the books that the owner reads. Madame just sees what she likes, so she can only look at it. β
Shen Liancheng walked over there, only to see two rows of bookshelves in the inner room, full of books on strategy and governance, and those few books were unheard of by himself.
She took a step inside, but suddenly felt strange, and couldn't help but turn around and ask Duanmu Cuo: "Since your host likes the book, why doesn't he take it home?" β
Duanmu Cuo smiled, "The owner said, if the good books are placed here, maybe you can meet someone who is destined." β
Li Ji was bored, and when he heard Duanmu Cuo say this, he inevitably came over with a curious face and asked, "Who is your owner?" What's the name? β
"The proprietor said that if there is a destined person, he will personally visit the door, if not, then who is the name, and what does it matter?" Duanmu Cuo said with a bow, looking humble and hopeful that the other party would forgive.
This owner is an interesting one.
Shen Liancheng didn't care, and walked to the back room. Li Ji was a little displeased, but he didn't say much, and followed in gently.
After finding a chair and sitting down, he played with the folding fan in his hand, looked at it from the front and looked at it from the back, and it looked very boring. From time to time, he would raise his eyes to look at Shen Liancheng, if he could look at him, he would smile a flower, if he saw her focusing on the book, he could only look at it for a while.
By noon, he was hungry. And seeing that Shen Liancheng was fascinated by reading books, he didn't want to disturb. After thinking about it, he quietly walked out and informed Qingling Yuhe: "Ah Ze and I will go to Xiangyulou to buy some delicious food for Mrs., and we will come when we go." "What to give Shen Liancheng to eat, he wants to choose it himself.
And as soon as he walked on the front foot, two people came on the back foot, which made Qingling Yuhe's hairs stand up.
It's Chen Xiang and Li Ling!
"Your Excellency, you're here." Duanmucuo greeted him with a smile.
Chen Xiang tapped his chin and went straight to the inner room. Look, this is not the first time he has come.
"My lord," Duanmu Cuo hurriedly stopped him, "There's a lady inside, I'm afraid ......"
Li Ling's eyes flashed, and he saw Shen Liancheng sitting upright reading a book in the inner room, and the two slaves stood vigilantly, and hurriedly whispered to Chen Xiang: "It's Mrs. Shen." (To be continued.) )
