5. Annoyance
Since the order to collect books, there are indeed many people who have donated books, and a lot of them have been collected in Luling Academy, and they are being sorted out by the students.
However, some people are diligent and enthusiastic, and naturally there are also people who are cold and perfunctory, and there are those who are arrogant and refuse to bend their waists, or they are afraid that the court will not return the books after collecting them, or they still cover the books tightly and refuse to give them away.
These people have many unique books hidden in their hands, and they cannot be found elsewhere, so they must use their books.
Xu Yan knew this situation, and he didn't want to force the collection with power, and most of the people who hid the lone book in their hands were famous bibliophiles, who were always respected, and after discussing with several people, they decided to go to persuade them in person, even if the other party was unwilling to donate the original manuscript, let someone copy it by hand.
Shen Ping has a reputation for collecting books in Wuchuan, and his ancestors and grandchildren have run it for three generations, and he has also had contacts with many book collectors, so he naturally cannot sit idly by and watch such matters.
Xu Yan discussed with Jiang Wenying and Xue Wanrong and divided their respective tasks, and Shen Ping's affairs in the academy were temporarily replaced by others, and he had to worry more about collecting books recently.
In this way, Shen Yu was naturally able to follow Shen Ping to open her eyes, and after listening to a few names assigned to Shen Ping, her heart was already happy, and she pursed her lips and hid a deep smile.
Xu Yan inadvertently swept over, and saw that the delicate little girl's eyes were bright and bright, and the smile on her lips seemed to be expectant, and the look was vivid and beautiful. Under the half-sleeves of a blue is an ivory-white skirt, the corners of the skirt bee butterflies play with flowers, hiding half of the delicate embroidered shoes, and the small toe is decorated with a pearl, with delicate embroidery.
His gaze froze, and the little tip of the shoe suddenly shrank and hid under his skirt.
looked up in amazement, and saw Shen Yan's eyebrows frowning slightly, looking at him with some annoyance. The black and white eyes are like water and light, mixed with that touch of anger, which is even more vivid and beautiful.
His Royal Highness Duanwang did something bad but didn't feel empty-hearted, and this time he didn't move his eyes to the fox again, but just looked at Shen Yu calmly, his eyes sinking like a pool of water.
Shen Yu felt more and more that His Royal Highness Duan Wang was too thick-skinned.
However, he is the respect of the prince, Shen Yu is a life-saving person, and he has not yet had the courage to argue with him, so he put aside his gaze and lowered his head to drink tea, but the trace of contempt in his eyes could not be hidden.
Xu Yan smiled imperceptibly and also made a gesture to drink tea. couldn't take her eyes back, looking at her soft face, beautiful eyebrows, and black and white eyes......
He suddenly remembered the day when he bumped into her for a nap, and when she first opened her eyes, she seemed dazed and ignorant, like the misty fog of the suburbs in the early morning. As soon as I moved my eyes, I saw that the white hand was holding a celadon tea bowl, and the red lips were slightly open to drink tea, soft and pretty, and it became a picture by itself.
With a thud in his heart, Xu Yan looked down at himself, his fingers were slender and his bones were distinct, but he had a thin cocoon because he often went to the battlefield.
Yu Guang couldn't help but cast himself at Shen Yan, what would it feel like if his hands were held in his hands?
Jiang Wenying next to him was about to ask for instructions, but when he raised his eyes and saw that His Royal Highness King Duan was in a trance, he hurriedly shut up.
Gradually, the sun was setting, Jiang Wenying had already arranged a dinner, so he beckoned Shen Ping to go with him. Of course, Shen Yan was not good at going to such an occasion, so Shen Ping ordered her to take a carriage home, just to bring home a few books borrowed by the students of the academy a few days ago.
The Shen family's collection of books is not inferior to that of the academy, because Shen Ping is an enlightened person, and it is common for students in the academy to occasionally borrow books from the Shen family. The student returned the book and couldn't help but say a few words of thanks.
Just as Qin Yu came from the opposite side, Shen Yu greeted him and bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Today, His Royal Highness King Duan mentioned the overprinted book, and I haven't thanked Brother Yi yet." ”
"I rashly recommended it, Grandma won't blame, right?" Although Qin Yu is both civil and military, he acts gently and politely, and when he faces Shen Yu, his tone will add a little softness.
Shen Yu was used to getting along with him, and she was quite careless in this regard, but she never noticed these differences, but just smiled: "Brother Yi is also thinking about my Shen family, how can you blame him." ”
Usually Qin Yu takes care of her, Shen Yu understands his kindness, and she is also very grateful at this time-
The overprinted books sent out by the Shen family are all shared, and if they can be delivered to King Duan so quickly, Qin Yu, the "Wenqu Star of the Martial Champion Mansion", can do it. At that time, Uncle Dong only mentioned a few words, although Qin Yu didn't say anything, he did it quietly, which was indeed very in line with his style of acting.
The two of them walked out side by side, talking and laughing all the way out, Shen Yu got into the carriage, Qin Yue turned a corner and sent Shen Yu to the door before leaving.
Shen Yu was delayed for a day, and the next day she still went to Jiang's house with Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen was born in the stepfamily, and only Aunt Jiang was born to her mother, and the sisters had a deep relationship when they were young.
When Aunt Jiang got married, Jiang Wenying was still a six-grade Beijing official, and later Shen Fei's maternal grandfather was transferred from the capital to Wuchuan to take charge of the government, and fell in love with Shen Ping's talent and learning, so he gave his beloved daughter to Shen Ping, a white-clothed scribe without any merit. Later, Jiang Wenying rose all the way, and gradually became the political envoy of Wuchuan after being released, and the sisters reunited together, and they were even more intimate.
Everyone in the Jiang family also knows this, so every time the Shen family comes over, they are extremely attentive.
As Wuchuan's parent official, the Jiang family's mansion is not comparable to the Shen Mansion. The same flowers and trees are staggered, but the houses inside are particularly exquisitely arranged, and the carved beams and painted buildings are connected by verandahs and stone paths, although the Jiang family has a small population, but the servants are in groups.
Shen Fei's cousin Jiang Zhen got the letter, and went to the gate of the inner courtyard early to greet her, and when she saw Shen Fei's mother and daughter, she flew over like a bird, "Auntie, Auntie!" ”
Jiang Zhen is three months older than Shen Yan, the sisters are of similar age and similar figures, one is delicate and smart, the other is pretty and simple, and when they stand side by side, they are reflected in the clothes, which is brighter than the spring light in the garden.
Aunt Jiang followed behind and quipped: "Yo, Grandma finally put on a skirt today, presumably the third sister has moved a lot of mouths at home, so you are willing to wear it." ”
"Auntie!" Shen Yu pouted, and took three or two steps up to present the bookbox, inviting credit, "This is the set of books I said earlier, do you look good?" ”
Aunt Jiang took the book and flipped through a few pages, and immediately sighed: "I really asked you to print it, it looks so good!" Moreover, the annotations are marked with vermilion, which is very convenient. ”
"He didn't believe me when I told my father before, so let's show him this and surprise him!" Next to Jiang Zhen and you are honored.
"That's the idea, I saw that my brother-in-law also came here just now, they must be in the same place at this moment, let's go and show him later." Aunt Jiang smiled slightly, and led Mrs. Shen into the flower hall, where she had her own maid serving tea and carefully laying out the soft cushions.
At this time, the garden is full of spring, sitting everywhere is the fragrance of flowers, and there are colorful butterflies wearing flowers around the willows, which is very leisurely.
Because Jiang Zhen has already decided on someone's family, she has been bored at home and learning things from Aunt Jiang recently, and it is rare for Shen Yu to come over to play with her, so she immediately dragged her to the backyard to flutter butterflies.
Of course, Shen Yu also likes delicate flowers and beautiful butterflies, and the sisters walked through the flowers with fans in their hands, laughing constantly.
Aunt Jiang looked at it and couldn't help but say: "Yesterday, your brother-in-law mentioned Grandma's marriage again, saying that while we are still in Luling, we have to help her choose someone, and even if he is transferred elsewhere in the future, there will be someone in your family to take care of him." ”
"Why is my brother-in-law going elsewhere?" Mrs. Shen was surprised.
He only heard that the saint meant this, but he didn't move for a while. You also know that there are many people staring at the Shen family's collection of books in this Luling City, and if I don't find a child who can help me as soon as possible, I can't rest assured. ”
"yes, that's what we're worried about." Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Yu, with a slight sorrow between her eyebrows, "The matter of that little grandfather last time, now that I think about it, I am still afraid, if there is no brother-in-law in town, who knows what will happen?" The 100,000 volumes of books are placed there like gold, and who knows how many people have the idea of embezzling them. Look at that old Mr. Zheng, how difficult his life was after being targeted by Xue Wanrong. ”
is also a person in the book collection circle, Aunt Jiang also heard that Xue Wanrong, a scholar and politician, was eyeing Zheng Xun's house for collecting books, and secretly coerced him to encroach on the book collection several times, and couldn't help but sigh: "If you really fall into such a situation, not only will you not be able to keep the books, but your life will be difficult to say." ”
Mrs. Shen felt the same way, "Yes, so it is most important to be able to take care of things." ”
Aunt Xue thought so, thought for a while, and said, "It just so happens that they are also in the living room, and I heard that my brother-in-law also mentioned Grandma's marriage, why don't we go over and discuss it?" ”
She can care so much about Shen Yu and plan for the Shen family, how can Mrs. Shen not be grateful, she immediately picked up the bookbox, got up and said, "It's okay." ”
Shen Yu, who was still immersed in the spring flowers, just took a fan to pounce on a butterfly, and suddenly shivered inexplicably, and with a shake of her hand, the butterfly fluttered its wings and flew away.
Shen Yu and Jiang Zhen, who were tired of playing, sat on the rocks, each sweaty and lightly shirted.
Next to a wisteria blooming, dense turns of purple and white flowers hanging around, like the eaves of colorful wind chimes, with the wind swaying, into the nose fragrance.
Because Jiang Zhen has been preparing the dowry behind closed doors recently, and following Aunt Jiang's experience in learning housekeeping directors, Shen Yu inevitably made fun of her when chatting.
is already a daughter to be married in the boudoir, although Jiang Zhen is shy about the marriage, she also has a lot of troubles, because it is not good to say it to Aunt Jiang, she can only pour bitter water on Shen Yan, "Grandma, you don't know that in my heart, I really hope that this year will never end." ”
"You're daydreaming." Shen Yu hit mercilessly, pinned a bunch of dense and brilliant flowers in Jiang Zhen's hair, and asked, "Are you worried about marrying into the Hou Mansion and not getting used to it?" ”
