Carefully pushed the door open, there was a small doorbell behind the door, because Ning Siyi pushed the door too lightly, so that the bell only flickered slightly, and it stopped ringing when it sounded, and the scenery of the courtyard inside the wall was undoubtedly beyond her imagination. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There is a curved stone path paved on the well-groomed grass, there are a few large stones on the side of the road, and vines with white flowers grow in the cracks of the stones, crawling all over the stones, simple and very meaningful, but what amazes her the most is the wisteria blossom stand built under the wall, at this time it is in the flowering period, strings of purple elves from the wooden frame vertically down, occasionally dancing with the wind, the posture is beautiful, the fragrance of flowers bursts, she is almost drunk in this romantic fragrance of flowers.

Behind the wisteria trellis grew a two-story tall thick tree, the species of which she did not recognize, not tall but with a lush canopy, large foliage covering the warm sunlight, sparse spots of light cast on the grass through the leaves, and even more so, there was a swing frame hanging under the tree.

At this moment, all the resentment caused by the rough road disappeared, and only heartfelt admiration remained.

It's just too foul, the layout of the courtyard, poking at her cute points everywhere, especially the Qianqiu shelf, her long-lost girl's heart is going to flood, okay! I can't wait to sit on it and shake it a few times.

When Gu Li found her, she was standing under the wisteria trellis, looking up at the purple flower clusters, her fair and small face was raised high, her calm and numb face was dyed with a bright and dazzling smile, and her big eyes, which had been lifeless in the past, were now focused on the beauty in front of her, full of admiration, and her eyes were full of brilliance and aura. She raised her hands and circled around a bunch of wisteria flowers, looking like she wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch them, for fear of disturbing the blooming elves.

Gu Li smiled, stopped not far away and looked at her quietly. It turned out that this was the real her, not numb and silent, as quiet and lifeless as a pool of stagnant water, but a precious heart full of admiration and tenderness for living beings and life that was revealed under the mask of camouflage.

"Siyi!" Gu Li was really happy, he didn't hide his joy, skipped the unfamiliar and polite surname, and called her name directly.

Although he had long known that it was inevitable for them to meet again, he still couldn't stop the touch in his heart when he saw her again, the time he spent alone was too long and too long, so long that he lost hope for life, until just now, when he saw the look in her eyes, he really felt that his heart was not completely dead.

"Ancient ······ Mr. Gu, long time no see! Ning Si withdrew her hand abruptly, and quickly retracted her true nymphomaniac expression in exchange for her usual paralyzed face, covering up her gaffe just now, the original set of application rhetoric had been forgotten to Java, I hope the other party will not misunderstand that she wants to destroy flowers and plants.

Gu Li was a little lost, she hadn't seen her for more than half a month, and she had become more alienated from herself, but it didn't matter, everyone took the initiative to send it to the door, and it was just a matter of time before she became familiar with it.

"It's been a long time, and I'm glad to see you." Gu Li stepped forward quickly and came to Ning Siyi's side, "I'm really sorry, I was negligent last time and didn't leave you a contact information, and I worked hard all the way." Of course, this was not negligent, but deliberate.

"Hehe, nothing." After Ning Siyi replied dryly, he lowered his head and looked at the other party embarrassedly, thinking left and right and not knowing how to continue the topic.

Emma, embarrassing cancer is about to be committed, obviously we got along quite naturally when we met for the first time.

Gu Li looked at her eyes rolling left and right funny, he didn't dare to look at him directly, and if he continued to stalemate, he was afraid that he would scare people away, so he opened his mouth to break the deadlock: "Let's go to the house first." ”

"Okay."

To be honest, she is not familiar with the architectural style or anything, but it does not prevent her from appreciating the hometown library. The walls of the house are white, but not the kind of oozing white, but with a little warmth of milky white, the creeper growing up from the corner of the wall on the other side has been coiled up to the second floor, half a palm-sized leaf, layer after layer attached to the wall, as soon as the wind blows, the leaves collectively step on the beat and shake up, as if splashing a bewitching green light on the milky white paper, especially eye-catching in the hot summer, the large windows inlaid with stained glass are full of strong baroque flavor, The whole house is filled with a thick sense of history, and it is very surprising that the appearance alone can throw off the street of modern cottage retro villas, but it does not look old at all.

If the layout of the courtyard makes her girl's heart overflow, and the style of the exterior wall of the library makes her pleasing to the eye, then the inside of the library can only be described as shocking.

That's right, it's shocking!

An open view of the rotunda!

Luxurious marble floors,

A crystal lamp hanging from the ceiling on the second floor to the half-empty on the first floor

An open verandah directly connects the upper and lower floors.

And, full, stuffed with two floors of books!

Ning Siyi was stunned, and was handsome by this overwhelming entrenchment, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Is it good to be reasonable? How can a privately run bookstore be so domineering? No matter how awesome the decoration is, just this huge number of books that occupy the upper and lower floors without leaving any gaps is shocking enough.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it at all! This is actually a private bookstore!

Private! Person! Book! Museum!

It's horrible.

When Gu Li returned to the hall with refreshments, Ning Siyi had already plunged into the pile of books, browsing the dazzling bookshelves, a pair of eyes shining, the little appearance of wanting to bow and worship was very interesting, Gu Li thought with some regret, but unfortunately such a cute expression was not aimed at him, but at a pile of books, could his face not be as good as a pile of papers?

"Siyi, let's come over for a cup of tea first." Gu Li interrupted her indulgence and beckoned her to drink tea on the sofa under the window lattice.

Ning Siyi's agitated mood had not calmed down, and he was full of awe and worship when he looked at Gu Li, "Mr. Gu, you are really amazing, you actually have so many books. Even the honorifics are used, which shows his admiration.

The admired Gu Li was not in a good mood, but he didn't show any signs on his face, and asked with a gentle smile on the corner of his lips: "How is it, do you like it here?" ”

"Hmmm! Like! ”

If you like it! Gu Li nodded with satisfaction: "If you like it, do you want to promise me to be the librarian here?" You can watch it every day in the future. ”

"Forehead ······" She hesitated, she liked the hometown library very much.

"Did you come here today just for sightseeing?" Gu Li teased.

"Not really, I ...... I ...... "She was going to apply for the job, but because the journey was so cruel, her confidence and determination were shattered, and she still has lingering palpitations."

"Don't be in a hurry to answer." Her concerns were naturally seen by him, "It's not too late to make a decision after I'll show you the surrounding environment later." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Mr. Gu."

"Just call me Gu Li, don't you think I just call your name too!"

Ning Siyi nodded in agreement, although she was not used to being so close to people, but when Gu Li's good-looking and somewhat over-looking face looked at her expectantly, it was not easy for her to insist on such a trivial matter.

I have to say that in some ways, Ning Siyi is a 24K pure fool.

After eating the refreshments and resting almost, Gu Li proposed to take her around the house before lunch, Ning thought about it, followed him and walked around the upper and lower floors, and by the way, Gu Li popularized a lot of architectural knowledge.

The halls on the first and second floors are connected, connected by a winding solid wood staircase, including the circular verandah on the second floor, which are built with reference to the Portuguese library, it is said that the owner and designer of this house was an overseas Chinese who returned from studying in Portugal, and returned home with a lot of precious classics, and wanted to build a large study room at home to store books.

On the right side of the hall there is a corridor connecting the separate rooms, the first floor is the entrance to the kitchen, toilet and basement cellar, and the second floor is two rooms, one is Gu Li's bedroom and the other is his studio, which is mainly used to collect rare books. The third floor is actually less than half of the second floor, and the part that should have been the lobby has been replaced by an open rooftop with a very wide view of the new area across the Hongjiang River. The remainder was built into an attic with the same amenities as the second-floor bedroom.

"You can stay here if you want." Gu Li pointed to the attic and spared no effort to fool her, "Don't run so hard at both ends." ”

To tell the truth, after visiting the entire library, her heart was really stirring. The working environment is first-class, the owner is suave and elegant, and the appearance is even more pleasing to the eye, not to mention the accommodation environment comparable to a star hotel. She doesn't have to worry about how to deal with complex personnel relationships, she doesn't have to look at the faces of her colleagues, and she doesn't have to suffer from a bunch of idleness.

Back in the hall on the first floor, the two sat opposite each other, Gu Li handed her the employee contract that had been prepared earlier, Ning Siyi took it, glanced at it cursoryly, and then was completely attracted by the salary package.

She raised her head slightly trembling and looked at Gu Li, and asked very seriously: "Gu Li, are you sure this is really just a librarian?" "The salary is so high, not to mention the administrator, it is more than enough to recruit a department head! She began to wonder if it was a conspiracy. Fortunately, she still had her sanity and held back her inner thoughts and did not let her suspicious expression show.

"Yes, in addition to maintaining books, I also take care of the flowers and plants in the garden and receive guests." Gu Li pointed to the job requirements on the contract and said, "Of course, most of the customers who will patronize our store have reservations, and I am mainly responsible for the guests, you only need to be responsible for the refreshments and greeting and sending off." Don't look at the requirements are not much, the workload is quite large, and it takes a lot of time and energy to maintain the books alone, which is not easy. ”

This is the truth, after all, the collection of books in the hometown library, compared with the district library she used to go to, whether it is quality or quantity, is not at the same level at all, it is definitely not easy to serve the books here, no wonder such a high salary will be offered, so it is reasonable to think about it.

"In addition, there is another point, which is not included in the scope of responsibility, it is my private commission, and you can use the ingredients and utensils in the kitchen at will, I just hope that you can make my share by the way when you cook." Gu Li's expression was unusually sincere.

Ning Siyi was surprised: "You don't know how to cook?" ”

"Yes, I'm not good at cooking, and I even bought refreshments and lunch."

"And how do you usually get here?"

Gu Li rarely showed a hint of surprise: "It's basically instant noodles or canned meat bibimbap." ”

Ning Siyi finally understood why the fried meat that tasted ordinary could be eaten by him with an expression of delicacies from the mountains and seas when they had eaten it for the first time together.

"You're just going to eat these all the time?"

"Uh, fried a poached egg once in a while." Gu Li picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then added, "My technique of frying poached eggs is quite good. ”

"Eating is a top priority, how can you be so casual? If you don't know how to cook, you can hire a babysitter. ”

Ning Si looked at him in disbelief, he was not short of money, why did he abuse himself like this?

"No one will come!" Gu Li suddenly put away his smile, looked directly at Ning Siyi, and said word by word, "Except for special people, no one else is welcome in the Hometown Library. ”

Ning Siyi was firmly locked by his gaze, his nerves subconsciously tensed, and he couldn't help asking, "What is a special person?" ”

"My guests, and you!"

“······”
