Chapter 97: The Prince is Back

Le Yi saw that he was tempted and smiled happily, she just said this at first, but wouldn't it be better if she could use such an opportunity to let Bai Mu see a wider world?

"Moreover, after the third brother comes back this time, you can also have a good chat with him about the situation in the southwest and record it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info can be better filled when you have the opportunity to go. By the way, you can also call Shen Shizi, everyone's focus is different, and the world they see is different, so that you can fill in more content, wouldn't it be great? ”

Bai Mu's eyes gradually brightened, and in an instant, he made a decision: "Okay, this thing can be done!" Well, I'm busy with things when I come back. ”

"Remember to show me when you write a volume, I'm the first reader, hehe." Le Yi was very happy to see him like this.

"That's for sure." Bai Mu felt that his heart had flown back, and he really wanted to sit down and write now.

"I'll start writing when I go back tonight, so let's do it, you set a date, I'll take you to find books, there are several places in Beijing that should have some good books, I know where they are." Other than that, I don't plan to leave the house, I finish the manuscript first. ”

Le Yi saw his shiny face and was happy for him, the two made an appointment, and Bai Mu went back with An Guogong.

At the beginning of January, after a few days of snow, the weather finally cleared up. The snow on the street has been shoveled to the side, and the road surface is easy to walk.

Le Yi and Bai Mu have been out for two days, and yesterday they braved the snow to visit a few academies in the north of the city and found a lot of books.

Today, the two made an appointment to look for it in the south of the city.

This is a bookstore that looks like it has been around for many years from the outside, and although the plaque on the front door is a little mottled, it has a quaint atmosphere. It was a little early, but the door had already opened, and the door was equipped with a thick windproof curtain, and when I opened the curtain and entered, I immediately felt much warmer.

"Wow, Miss, I didn't expect it to be so big inside?" Sang'er behind Le Yi couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the spacious place inside.

The furnishings in front of her made Le Yi's eyes light up, and she saw that there were at least more than 200 square meters of room, with bookshelves of varying heights, all of which were bookshelves to the top along the four walls, and a half-person-high booth was placed in the direction of the entrance, with many books piled up in an orderly manner, and then there were bookshelves with a height of one person.

Now there are very few guests, a few scholars are sorting out the books, the shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a brown straight robe, seeing that a guest is coming, he said hello casually, and then bowed his head and concentrated on doing his own thing.

A few people looked at it in rows, Le Yi needless to say, the display pattern of this bookstore is similar to that of the previous life, but it is very different from the few I saw yesterday, and I can't help but be amazed. Bai Mu also nodded frequently: "Yes, it's really good, it's interesting." ”

"This shop is obviously bigger than the others, and there are more books, so why doesn't it have such a famous reputation in Beijing?" Le Yi was curious about this, just like the bookstores they went to yesterday were all relatively famous in the north of the city, and there were relatively many types of books.

"I heard from my cousin that this owner is not good at business, and he only concentrates on collecting books, finding books, and reading books, and is not good at dealing with people. Therefore, his reputation is not obvious, but because his books here cover a wider range of books, more and even some books from neighboring countries, he is very popular with a group of students. However, those who can know and come here often are also people who really love to learn. ”

Le Yi nodded understandingly, Beijing is prosperous, and it can be said that there is a shop in ten steps. If you don't manage it well, it's really difficult to survive, so they know all the famous stores that are good at running it. But there will still be a small number of people who survive on other word-of-mouth, such as this one.

"And here, you can look at it for as long as you want, you can look over there." Bai Mu stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the turn.

Le Yi looked over, it turned out that there was a small corner here, facing the other direction of the street, although the ancient windows were not made of glass, but the good window paper used in this house was obviously out of the sun today, the sun was shining outside, and there was a warm bright light in the house.

In front of the window is a large rectangular table made of small tables, surrounded by chairs, with cushions and chairs, and it is also a pleasant thing to sit and read.

"Because of the weather, don't look at the lack of people now, I heard my cousin say that on weekdays, especially on days when the college is not open, it is full of people." Bai Mu is also a book lover, and is obviously very satisfied with the environment here.

"That's good, Xiang'er, I'll tell the coachman to remember the location here, and I'll come here to read when I have time in the future." Le Yi felt like she had returned to a bookstore in her previous life.

"Miss..."Xiang'er reminded: "Most of the people who come here are some sons, let's come, it's not convenient, right?" ”

"It's okay, we don't want to come when there are a lot of people, take advantage of the time when there are very few people, and then put on men's clothes, and it'll be fine." This era is this inconvenient, fortunately I am still young now, and it will be even more inconvenient in a few years, but I have to cherish these two years and go out more.

"Yes." Since the young lady had thought about it, Xiang'er stopped talking.

"You're a girl after all, and it's still inconvenient, just buy it back." Playing together since childhood, although the difference between men and women is not so important in his heart, the little girl is getting bigger and bigger after all.

"Some books that are worth buying are naturally to be bought back and pondered slowly, but some books are not necessary, just look at them, otherwise the books at home will not fit." Reading books is one thing, being able to go out for a walk is another, Le Yi has found a good place, and naturally she will not stop. After all, the girls here really don't have much to go except for enjoying the flowers, visiting rouge gouache shops, and buying jewelry and clothes.

"Okay, just pay attention to yourself."

"Got it, long-winded duke." Le Yi laughed at him.

Bai Mu looked at the sky.

Le Yi giggled, and then the two of them started to read the book from both sides, and if there was anything particularly worth buying, they would buy it first.

Outside the door, a young man dismounted, and a young girl was followed by the carriage behind him.

The young man stepped forward and said, "Sister, this is it, I don't think there will be many people today, let's pick two books and bring them back, sister can read it if she is fine." ”

The girl's fair face did not wear any makeup, and it looked more and more white at the moment, but she did not hide her sorrow between her eyebrows, obviously there was something annoying.

Today, my brother persuaded her to come out for a walk, and her mother agreed, so she came out with her, and at this moment she saw that it was a bookstore, but she was relieved, if she took her to some rouge gouache shop, she was really not in the mood. Coming here, at least my brother likes it very much.

The two sisters and brothers entered the house, Guo Shucheng introduced Guo Shuyan to Guo Shuyan what kind of books to put where, Guo Shuyan looked around, and came with a little interest, Guo Shucheng wanted to accompany her, she smiled and asked him to pick what he wanted to read, she just looked at some books.

There was no one in the bookstore, and Guo Shucheng really wanted to find a book, so he went to another place.

There are really a lot of books here, many of them haven't been read, Le Yi's heart is happy, she browsed through the past one by one, read the title of the book first, and took it out to see if she was interested, and there were two books to buy, so she held it in her arms.

At the turn, she bumped into someone, and the book in her hand almost fell, but she reacted very quickly and held it firmly.

The person who bumped into her on the other side said sorry repeatedly, and Le Yi was busy saying that it was okay.

When the two looked up, Le Yi's eyes couldn't help but widen, Guo Shucheng!

The girl in front of her was wearing a pink jacket with a dark blue dress, a string of pearl beads hanging down on each bun, and a pair of smart eyes that flashed with surprise, holding two books in her arms, which was very cute.

Guo Shucheng couldn't help blushing for a while, and he was embarrassed to step back and salute: "Sorry, I didn't pay attention and bumped into Miss." ”

Le Yi didn't expect to meet him here, she was a little stunned for a while, and when she saw him retreat and salute, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if he didn't recognize her, so it's best not.

"It's okay, blame me for noticing." She wanted to walk sideways.

"You... Are you Miss Five? The fifth lady of the Marquis of Wuping's mansion, right? Guo Shucheng heard the voice and suddenly remembered who she was.

Le Yi didn't expect him to have such a good memory, so he smiled and said, "Yes, hehe." ”

"Oh, I'm Guo Shucheng from the Zhongyong Mansion, and we met last time on the birthday of the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion." Although the last time we met was very short, he was not good at looking at people carefully, but her voice was very good, and he was more impressed. Later, when she went back, her mother asked her sister if she knew any friends, and her sister mentioned her.

"It turned out to be Guo Shizi, polite, I didn't expect to meet here." Now that they all recognized it, Le Yi had no choice but to say hello, and then said, "I still have to find some books, so I won't bother." ”

Seeing that she was leaving, Guo Shucheng was anxious for no reason, and said loudly: "Last time I went back, I heard my sister mention you, today, my sister came with me, she must be very happy to see Miss Five." ”

Guo Shuyan is also here? Alas, looking at Guo Shucheng, who was still a young man in front of him, Le Yi calmed down and said, "Is Miss Guo here too, I also came with friends." In this case, I will go to my friend first, and I will talk to Miss Guo later. ”

Guo Shucheng wanted to call his sister over, but when he saw her say this, he could only nod: "Okay, if Miss Fifth wants to find any books, you might as well ask me, I am very familiar with this store, and I know where the books are." After speaking, he looked at her expectantly.

Le Yi believes this, after all, Guo Shucheng's knowledge is very good: "Then thank you first, if you have a special need, ask Shizi, I will go first." With that, he saluted and walked to the other side.

Guo Shucheng watched the girl's back turn and disappear, then he retracted his gaze, looked at the book in front of him, and began to flip, but he was a little absent-minded.

Le Yi walked in the direction of Bai Mu, turned a few corners, and saw his figure.

She walked over lightly and suddenly patted him on the back: "Afraid or not!" ”

Bai Mu turned around helplessly: "Which time have I been afraid?" ”

"Hey, it's boring, it's like this every time, can't you pretend to be scared?" Le Yi looked at him dissatisfied.

Bai Mu stretched out his hand to rub her head, but put it down again halfway, this habit will have to be changed in the future, and he shook his head with a smile.

Le Yi saw the girl standing opposite him, hey, it was Guo Shuyan!

"Miss Guo?" Bai Mu's figure was blocking just now, so she didn't see it, but now Bai Mu turned sideways, and then she saw her.

"Miss Yang? You're here too, oh, you? Guo Shuyan saw that the two were so familiar, so she smiled and said, "I came with my younger brother, and I accidentally bumped into this son just now. ”

I see, but how did I run into it, Le Yi also smiled and said: "This is Bai Mu, the eldest prince of the Anguo Mansion, he is my good friend." ”

"This is Miss Guo from the Zhongyong Mansion." Since they have all met, there is no reason not to speak, so Le Yi briefly introduced it.

The two of them saluted separately.

"I also met Brother Ling over there just now, and he said that you are here too, I want to talk to you for a while, no, I just happened to bump into it."

"That's it, I'm a little bored at home, and Shucheng specially took me out for a walk. Well, you wait a little longer, I'll go and call him over, and since we've met, it's always necessary to say hello." Guo Shuyan is very positive about doing good things to his younger brother, and getting to know more friends will always help him in the future.

Her face was pale, and she didn't seem to be in good spirits, but now she was warmly invited, Le Yi nodded, and Bai Mu said, "Don't be so troublesome, we will go over." ”

Guo Shuyan said happily, and the three of them went over there to find Guo Shucheng.

Guo Shucheng was very happy to see that they were all here, he and Bai Mu got to know each other, and seeing that he behaved moderately, he was very friendly.

After a few conversations, Guo Shucheng invited them to dine together at noon, but Le Yi refused, saying that she and Bai Mu had other things, and the sister and brother were not reluctant.

After everyone picked up some books, they broke up in front of the bookstore. Before leaving, Guo Shuyan asked Le Yifang if it was inconvenient to give her a post and invited her to play in the house.

Le Yi was naturally unwilling, so she shirked it on the grounds that there were too many things at home. When Guo Shuyan saw her like this, she didn't say much, and left with a smile.

Seeing their carriage walking away, Bai Mu looked at Le Yi who was relieved strangely, and asked, "Why, you don't want to deal with them?" ”

"Who said that?" Le Yi glanced at him, should this person be so sharp.

"Your own look and look betrayed you." Bai Mu shook his head, so obviously he didn't admit it.

"Really, is it that obvious?" Le Yi covered her face, she was already treating it as a normal thing.

"Hmph, cover your ears and steal the bell." Bai Mu poked her.

"I want you to take care of it, huh!" Le Yi turned her head.

"You think I'm going to take care of it, who made you not control it well." Bai Mu actually wanted to remind her that if he could see it, it might not be that others couldn't see it.

"Got it, long-winded duke." Le Yi grimaced at him, indeed, this life is completely different from the previous life, there is no need for anything wrong. The next time you see you, just treat it as a regular friend.

The two laughed and walked slowly on the side of the street, it was already noon, although the sun was not strong enough, but it was somewhat warm on the body.

Not far behind him, there was the sound of horses getting it, Bai Mu turned sideways and pulled Le Yi in, although the street is wide, it is necessary to pay attention to safety.

A gust of wind blew, and the horses quickly drove past them.

Le Yi tightened her cloak, the wind brought by the horses was still quite blowy, and Bai Mu put her cloak and hat on her.

"Phewβ€”" The man on one of the horses that was passing in front of him quickly stopped his horse, turned around, and looked at the man behind him.

Under the sun, the tall and thin boy gently helped the petite girl next to him put on the cape hat, the girl raised her eyes to see the boy laughing happily, the pink cloak with white edges set off the girl's face pink and tender, and the girl seemed to be more bright than half a year ago.

The other two saw that he had suddenly stopped his horse, and they also quickly reined in the horse, but they had already run a long way ahead, and when they saw him sitting on the back of the horse, they turned to look behind him, and they did not know what was happening, so they had to ride over.

One of the teenagers asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? After saying that, he craned his neck and looked, it was nothing, the road was empty, only there were people walking on the side of the road.

The young man on the horse didn't speak, and rode back, and the two behind him were inexplicable, only following him.

After putting on the hat, the wind stopped blowing his face, and Le Yi said: "I'll treat you at noon, let's say, where are we going to eat?" ”

"It's rare, I'm willing to treat you today." Bai Mu laughed at her, you know, this girl either has no money, or she has to let him pay for it every time.

"Hehe, for the sake of finding me such a good place today." Le Yi laughed at the thief's.

"Hmph, what's a bad idea again?" Bai Mu looked at the sky.

"Why, let's go, let's eat." Le Yi smiled and looked up at the front.

A few horses came over, and Le Yi looked at it.

Hey, it's actually the third brother, Le Yi saw Yang Wenkang on a horse behind him at a glance.

The third brother is back! Le Yi's eyes widened, and then he waved at him violently: "Third brother, third brother." She shouted happily, not daring to make too loud noises, so she had to wave her hand vigorously.

When Bai Mu heard this, he also looked up.

The three teenagers on the horse were His Royal Highness the Prince, Shen Ye and Yang Wenkang.

They walked up to them, and the horses stopped in front of them.

Bai Mu saluted the prince, but Yang Leyi had already rushed to Yang Wenkang, who had dismounted: "Third brother, you're back." ”

Yang Wenkang was also very happy when he saw his sister, and showed a mouthful of white teeth with a smile: "Yi'er, why are you here, it's cold here, why did you run outside, is it cold?" ”

"It's not cold, it's much better today than a few days ago, the snow has stopped, the sun has come out, Bai Mu and I came out to look for books." You didn't say in your letter that it would be in a few days, and we were all worried about whether you would be able to come back before the year. ”

"Isn't this trying to surprise you!" Yang Wenkang laughed.

Le Yi felt that his smile was very dazzling, and at the same time he was surprised, he took two steps back, looked up and down, and then said, "Third brother, you have lost weight and darkened. "But it's clear that the spirit is different.

Feeling his sister's concern, Yang Wenkang happily touched her head with a hat: "Where, it's stronger." ”

"Hey, I said you guys were too much, but your brothers and sisters were happy to keep us still here blowing the cold wind!" Shen Ye definitely didn't admit that he was a little envious and jealous! When he got home, his younger siblings were happy, but not as slimy as they were.

Yang Wenkang smiled embarrassedly, Le Yi was not embarrassed, but when he turned to look at them, Shen Ye had also lost some weight, but his skin was still white, and he couldn't tan it!

Looking at Yan Zizhen in black next to him, ah, why does he seem to have grown taller again? She had to tilt her neck to see his face, and he was half a head taller than Shen Ye beside her.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." She saluted, and seeing that he was still expressionless, and even looked at her with an inexplicable light in her eyes, Le Yi was puzzled, only glanced at him suspiciously, and then laughed with Shen Ye.

"Okay, okay, now is not the time to catch up, I've been on the road for days, I'm tired, I really want to go home and fall asleep." Shen Ye said complainingly.

"Then why don't we go back to our respective homes first?" After Yang Wenkang finished speaking, he looked at Yan Zizhen.

Yan Zizhen glared at Shen Ye, and finally spoke: "Eat first, and then go back to the house after eating." ”

Shen Ye was inexplicably stared at by him, but when he said to eat, he was really hungry, he went home after eating and had a good sleep, and when he got home, his mother and younger siblings had to pull him to ask for a long time, and he had to starve to death if he was not tired.

"That's fine, you can eat with us, and then go home after eating."

Le Yi was originally going to eat out with Bai Mu, so she naturally agreed, Bai Mu said: "We plan to eat in Juxian Building, and we will have a treat for Le Yi today." ”

After saying that, looking at the sky, Le Yi glared at him, when did you say that it was in Juxian Tower, it was so expensive there, and the location was not good, but the words were said, she smiled and nodded.

Looking at the two of them, Yan Zizhen's face tightened, and his eyes looking at Bai Mu were obscure.

Bai Mu reacted quickly, instinctively looked in the direction of the prince, but saw him turn his face again, his heart jumped, he didn't know why the prince looked at him like this, but he was sure that it was not his illusion, his sensitivity to people was very high, and he couldn't help but secretly keep an eye on it.

Seeing that several of them were hungry, and they had to walk for a while to walk so slowly, Le Yi got into the carriage that followed not far away, Bai Mu also rode his horse, and several people ran all the way to Juxian Tower.

Unexpectedly, there were still a lot of people in Juxian Building, but fortunately, the private room upstairs was still empty, Shen Ye wanted to say yes, but was stopped by Yan Zizhen, and he looked at Le Yi.

Others didn't understand, but Le Yi understood what he meant, touched her pocket, and she smiled apologetically: "I didn't bring such a valuable brand." ”

Yan Zizhen glared at her, he didn't believe it was because of the preciousness, I was afraid that he didn't think about it at all, and his mood was two points worse, he took out the brand in his arms, and Xiao Er immediately took them to the third floor.

Because of the status of the crown prince, it is not strange to have this kind of treatment, and the others didn't think much about it and followed. Only Le Yi was surprised, it turned out that he still had a piece, it seems that this restaurant really has something to do with him, otherwise how could he still have it! (To be continued.) )
