Xu Yan was not very interested in collecting books, and slowly walked through the bookcases, sometimes turning out one or two books, and just looking at them.

He seemed to have something on his mind, and walked forward in silence with his head bowed, without saying a word.

Shen Yu accompanied her for a long time, but it was not easy to disturb, and when she saw that Zheng Xun had not finished sprinkling the lime basket on the shelf, she leaned over.

Zheng Xun is already old, he has always been the only one to take care of this library, and all the things that prevent insects and beetles are handled by himself, and Shen Yu has learned a lot from him before.

Lime is the most useful thing to prevent moisture, and the weather is gradually turning into rain, so in order to avoid damage to the books, it is most useful to lay lime in advance. Shen Yan is also a lover of books, and seeing that there is nothing to do with herself, she picked up the lime shovel and slowly spread it everywhere.

The bookcase is not low, the bottom is fine, and the top two layers of Shen Yu can't reach it, so she can't help but climb the ladder and spread ash to the heights.

The sound of the rain came in intermittently, and in the dim and quiet atmosphere, she looked at the rare books in the room, thinking about Zheng Xun's embarrassing situation now, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

When I was a little distracted, the shovel had just been stuffed into the lime heap when I suddenly felt something move inside. She looked down in surprise, and in the dim light, she saw a furry thing with lime all over her body suddenly rushing towards the door in front of her!

"Ahh

A trembling exclamation resounded through the study building, Shen Yan leaned back to avoid the thing, her body lost her balance, and she fell down.

Xu Yan's figure was as fast as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached her side, bent down and stretched out his arm with force, and he could scoop Shen Yan up. In the other hand, the projectile flew out and knocked the dusty thing to the ground.

Shen Yan was shocked and hugged Xu Yan's waist.

Xu Yan immediately retracted his arms and scooped her into his arms, and when he touched the soft body of the girl's family, Xu Yan's body stiffened.

Shen Yan slammed into his arms suddenly, and there was a momentary blank in his mind, and when he looked up, he happened to see his chin and smell the faint smell of wine. She came back to her senses in an instant, and as if she had touched the hot coals, she withdrew her arm around his waist and stood firm on the bookcase.

"Thank you, Your Highness......" There was still a slight tremor in her tone, obviously because she was frightened just now.

"It's a sable, don't be afraid." Xu Yan opened his mouth to comfort, and seeing that Shen Yan was not injured, he took a few steps over to pick up the thing, and it was really a little gray mink, covered with lime. At this moment, he must have been hit by Xu Yan, and the little thing curled up in a ball with his eyes closed, trembling.

Shen Yan tried to calm her mind and muttered, "How can there be such a thing in the moisture-proof lime." ”

Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Duan was there just now, so she didn't let her fall and get hurt, and fortunately, she reacted quickly and avoided the gray sable in time, otherwise she would have pounced on the door...... Shen Yu suddenly trembled, what if it wasn't her just now, but Zheng Xun?

Zheng Xun is old, his eyesight and reaction are not as good as Shen Yu, this gray sable has always been known for his agility and flexibility, and he will definitely be able to pounce on him in front of him. When the time came, his eyes were destroyed, and Zheng Xun was frightened and fell off the shelf......

Shen Yan couldn't even think about it, and when he looked up at Xu Yan, he also guessed the trick and asked, "Where did this lime come from?" ”

"These are all bought by Hitomi, and it's that little boy." Shen Yan tried to suppress the shock in her heart-

For no reason, naturally no one would put such a rare gray mink in lime. When Hitomi bought these limes, did she know that there was something hidden inside? If he knew this, when Zheng Xun was thrown off the shelf, he would naturally not take care of it, with Zheng Xun's body and bones, how could he survive?

By then, the gray sable has already slipped away, and Hitomi can blame Zheng Xun for hurting his eyes on the lime powder, with Xue Wanrong here, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with the official errand?

"I have to sue Mr. Zheng!" Shen Yu lowered her voice, "If you can't even rely on your pupils, then Mr. Zheng's situation is too dangerous!" ”

"You can remind Mr. Zheng to be on guard, but that pupil has to be kept." Xu Yan said in a deep voice, and when he saw that Shen Yan was puzzled, he said: "Xue Wanrong is a member of the third grade, and he said that he used his power to encroach on the Zheng family's book collection, which is not something that I can count with one or two sentences." It will be useful to keep the pupils. ”

Shen Yan thought about it, this is indeed the truth.

Although Xue Wanrong coveted the Zheng family's book collection had heard of it in this circle, if he really wanted to find evidence, he really couldn't find anything useful. With the pupils, with the means of His Royal Highness the King Duan, he will definitely be able to dig out a lot of things, but ......

"He won't murder Mr. Zheng again, will he?"

"I'll send someone to keep an eye on me."

With this sentence, Shen Yu was also relieved. After this accident, the two had no intention of staying, so they went out of the study building and closed the door.

The rain outside kept going, Xu Yan held an umbrella, and when the two walked side by side, Shen Yan always felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Shen Ping and Zheng Xun had already said about it, Shen Yu said about the gray mink that came out of the lime just now, Zheng Xun was furious, and he was about to have a seizure, and was persuaded by Shen Yu's father and daughter.

It was nearly dusk before everyone said goodbye to the Zheng family, Xu Yan left in the rain, and Shen Yu and Shen Ping took a car back to their homes.

The more Shen Yan thought about the matter of hugging Duanwang's waist in a panic, the more embarrassed she felt, and when she went to the academy, she tried to avoid Jingzhao Pavilion and did not go to meet Duanwang.

Zheng Xun's affairs there made Shen Ping also frightened, and he went to visit from time to time in the past few days, but there was nothing to do. Xu Yan had time there, so he sent someone to say hello to Shen Ping, saying that he wanted to see the Shen family's method of carving calligraphy.

Shen Ping is not a rigid person, the books in the library are not locked and not shown to others like other collectors, and the engraved books are not purely for profit to support the family. Therefore, His Royal Highness Duanwang came to see this set of sealing methods, and he was also happy, after all, this vermilion color will mark the annotation eye-catchingly, which is really a very beneficial thing.

This set of seal methods was created by Shen Yu, she naturally couldn't escape, and when His Royal Highness Duan Wang came to the bookstore, she could only bite the bullet to meet it.

On this day, Shen Yan was still wearing the crown dress of the academy, and the blue and white robe was slightly wide, covering her increasingly delicate figure. However, Xu Yan has seen her wearing women's clothes, and even took the thin waist into her arms, so she naturally knows what kind of graceful figure is hidden under the wide robe.

His gaze was a little unnatural when it fell on Shen Yu, but it soon returned to normal, and Jin Yibo took it into the bookstore.

Behind the bookstore is the place where the books are carved, and you can see all kinds of wood such as pear wood and jujube wood everywhere, and the windows of the storeroom are open, and you can see the neatly stacked engravings inside. A few steps inside, there are many movable types piled up in one room, and further inside is the place where the overprinted books are engraved.

Shen Yu followed next to Shen Ping and introduced them one by one.

Speaking of the matter of printing books, Shen Yu was full of interest, but she left the previous embarrassment behind her and her smart eyes were full of hope.

Xu Yan next to him also listened carefully, looked at Shen Yan from time to time, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled.

After she finished explaining here, she wanted to avoid it as soon as possible, but it happened that Uncle Dong came to Shen's house to find a book, so he slipped away.

The two of them entered the study building, and Shen Yu was used to joking with Uncle Dong, so she couldn't help but dislike him, "It's just that others come to borrow books, the Dong family's Xiaoyuan Mountain House has twice as many books as ours, how can you come to our house to borrow books every day." ”

"Although we have a lot of books, how can it be as good as those carefully selected by Master Shen." Uncle Dong didn't have any arrogant habits, and walked through the bookshelves with a large stack of books in his arms, and sighed: "Speaking of which, Master Shen is really a good person in Luling, and the books in this library are lent to those poor students, which is really meritorious!" Alas, if my father could be so open-minded, the books in our Xiaoyuan Mountain House would also benefit many people. ”

Shen Yan smiled when she heard this, and couldn't hide her pride - this is what she is most proud of!

The books of this era are treasures, and many people are hidden in the deep pavilion, secret, for fear of damaging the books, they will not take them out and turn them over, so there is a saying of "collecting books".

Some families even have to restrict their own children from entering the library, let alone take them out for everyone to circulate, so the rich have a collection of thousands of books and the fragrance of books has been passed down from generation to generation, but poor students cannot afford to buy books, and the books they can read are very limited.

When Shen Yan was young, Shen Ping also had this idea, the books at home were all "hidden" and not revealed, and they were not allowed to be read by outsiders.

In Shen Yu's opinion, this kind of behavior is a complete waste of resources!

What is the purpose of a book? Record history and educate sentient beings! The Shen family's collection of 100,000 volumes, except for some rare and rare books that really have to be kept well, many books can actually be lent to people who can't buy books.

Shen Yan has persuaded Shen Ping since she was a child, asking him to do some good things with these books, and she has been persuading her for more than ten years, and the results are very good.

Although the Shen family's collection of books has not yet been completely opened to the public, at least the students of Luling Academy and some children from poor families who are motivated to study can be lent out to read, even if some books are damaged and lost, Shen Ping is also happy to do so.

Even under the persuasion of Shen Fei, Shen Ping also donated nearly 1,000 books in the bookstore to read to poor children in a village at the foot of Xishan.

Shen Yu was very satisfied with this. The reason why she is happy to follow Shen Ping around to learn about book collection is not only to inherit the Shen family's family business, but also to look forward to one day making achievements in book collection and having the ability to build a library for the benefit of students-

It would be even better if there was a way to call the government to preside over this matter, so that many students could borrow books from the library to read!

This is a dream she has hidden in her heart!

Uncle Dong looked at Shen Yan's proud appearance, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "I heard my mother say yesterday that Master Shen is going to recruit a son-in-law for you?" ”

"How can you be so well informed!" Shen Yu came back to her senses, but she didn't feel ashamed, "Last time, that damn Huo Zongyuan made a fuss, and my father and mother were in a hurry." ”

"Huo Zongyuan," Uncle Dong smiled, "I heard that the last time Brother Yi saw his cousin, he took the opportunity of the martial arts competition to repair it. ”

Qin Yu's mother, Huo, is the concubine of the current queen, although the relationship may not be close, the bloodline is there. Although Qin Yue and his little grandfather Huo Zongyuan are cousins, Qin Yue is restrained and low-key, and he has never heard him compete with Huo Zongyuan before, which is surprising this time.

Shen Yu gloated, "Huo Zongyuan is an embroidered pillow, how can he be the opponent of Brother Yizhi, he deserves to be repaired!" ”

Uncle Dong also remembered that Huo Zongyuan was coercing the Shen family at that time, and he was concerned, "If it wasn't for Master Jiang at that time, no one would really be able to suppress that little grandfather." I heard that Huo Zongyuan should come to the Qin family again in June to relax, when he hears about your recruitment of a son-in-law, will he come to make trouble again? ”

……

"Can't you hope for something good?" Shen Yu glanced at him, handed him the last book Uncle Dong was looking for, and suddenly froze when he turned his head.

There was a faint fragrance of camphor wafting between the bookshelves, and Xu Yan didn't know when she entered the door, so she stood in the aisle and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

He should have heard the conversation just now, his handsome eyes raised slightly, and he stood on the shelf with his hands in his hands, looking at her with a smile.

Shen Yu was always a little in awe of this Prince Duan, and when he looked at him like this, her heart trembled instantly, and she didn't dare to look at each other. I don't know why, I always feel a little cramped, and I don't even know where to put my hands and feet.

Behind him, Shen Ping also paced over and said to Shen Yan: "Zhen'er is waiting for you in the Linglong Mountain Pavilion, go and take a look." ”

Shen Yu was pardoned, and hurriedly saluted and slipped out of the study building.
