"Xinhua Bookstore? What's this weird name? ”

When Wang Cheng saw the plaque of this bookstore, he couldn't help but frown secretly, and then he couldn't figure out what the word "Xinhua" meant. But it doesn't matter what it means, for him the name is just a codename, the key is what is sold in this store.

Knowing the situation of competitors is an old habit of Wang Cheng.

So when he heard the guy in the store say that there was an extra bookstore in Dongshi, Wang Cheng immediately came over. When he saw the bookstore from afar, he was first taken aback, and then after seeing the name of the bookstore, he shook it again.

The reason for the surprise is naturally that the scale of this store is not small.

There are two floors, each floor covers an area of at least half an acre, which is at least twice as large as their "Moxiang Study", and it also makes Wang Cheng's heart sink - to open such a large bookstore in Dongshi, where every inch of land is valuable, the owner of this Xinhua bookstore is either his head was squeezed by the door, or he was in the water when he was a child; Either they have a lot of money, and they can't spend a lot of money at home, so they don't care about such a big shop.

Open a bookstore in the best part of the East Market, and have such a big shop?

Don't pay you to death?

Although Chang'an City has the largest number of scholars in the Tang Dynasty, there are so many people who count them. How many bookstores are there in the East and West markets, and even in each square? Therefore, a bookstore may not make money if it is small, but it will definitely lose money when the place is large!

So after frowning and looking at the other side of the road for a moment, Wang Cheng took a deep breath and walked towards the door of the bookstore.

Today is the sixth day of the sixth month of June, which is not a good day to open a store.

Of course, what Wang Cheng didn't know was that although the people of the Tang Dynasty didn't pay attention to the six and eight auspicious and unlucky, Li Yuanjia liked to pick a day that sounded more comfortable, so when Han Shan asked about the opening date of the shop, he casually set this day.

There is no gong and drum, and there is no gathering of high-ranking friends, and there is one more bookstore in the best area of the silent East Market, and it is also a bookstore that occupies such a large area, so that Wang Cheng has to be curious.

Wang Cheng has a habit that every time there is one more competitor in the city, he will go in and take a look in person, and this time is no exception.

After a pause as he walked to the door of the store, Wang Cheng looked up at the bookstore sign again.

"Good word!"

After seeing it clearly, Wang Cheng couldn't help but praise it in a low voice.

Although the name Xinhua Bookstore is a little inexplicable, the words on the plaque are unexpectedly good...... No, I should say it's very good! At present, the most popular flying white body in Chang'an City, the four big characters are written with the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, which is full of strength, especially the second "Hua" word, which is long and straight, like a spear through the back of the paper!

"Hello, welcome to Xinhua Bookstore!"

"Huh?"

Just when Wang Cheng wanted to touch the words on the plaque again, a sudden voice suddenly startled him!

Quickly looked down, only to see a ......

"Huh? This is the guy in the store? ”

Seeing the little guy in front of him, Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help blinking his eyes vigorously.

Ten ** years old, medium height, quite thin figure, in addition to being quite handsome, it is indeed the appearance of an ordinary bookstore guy. But to Wang Cheng's surprise, this guy was wearing a rather strange shirt - although the material was ordinary coarse cloth, the style was something Wang Cheng had never seen before!

The upper body is white, but the hem of the garment only reaches the waist, not directly to the feet. And the middle of the dress is split in half, and several knots are put together! And underneath this short blouse, the lower body was wearing a very strange black garment - the legs were wrapped in fabric, and then the fabrics were put together after reaching the crotch......

"Weird! It's weird! ”

Looking at this guy's clothes with wide eyes, Wang Cheng didn't even forget to respond to the other party...... In fact, if it weren't for the other party's clothes being too strange and dividing his gods, Wang Cheng should be able to find the strangeness in the other party's words.

Hello? Welcome?

"Please come in, you can take a look!"

Just when Wang Cheng couldn't come back to his senses, the little guy had already stepped forward, bowed slightly and smiled politely: "Our Xinhua Bookstore only opened today, so there are not many goods in the store, and for the time being, there are only some pen, ink, paper and inkstones for sale." If you want to buy a book, I'm afraid it will take a while. ”

"Huh? Oh. ”

Coming back to his senses by this little guy's words, Wang Cheng hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just coming in and taking a look, take a look......"

His face was silent, but Wang Cheng was greatly surprised in his heart.

It's just that this little guy is dressed strangely, but I didn't expect his speech and attitude to be so humble or arrogant, although polite, but there is no sense of humility of an ordinary bookstore guy.

And......

When Wang Cheng's gaze shifted from his clothes to the little guy himself, his heart became more and more surprised.

Clean!

The first feeling that this kid gave to Wang Cheng was that it was clean!

Although the clothes on the body are strange, they are white and black, neat and clean; The little girl's hair is obviously carefully groomed and neatly combed, and the face, neck and hands are all white and clean, which makes people feel indescribably comfortable at first glance.

After taking a few looks, Wang Cheng subconsciously asked, "Are you ...... The shopkeeper of this shop? ”

Look at the age, of course not!

But looking at the young man's clean appearance, as well as his calm and calm attitude, to say that he is an ordinary guy in the store, Wang Cheng is a little unconvinced - compared with the guys in their shop, this gap is too big, right?

"Hehe, of course not!"

The little guy immediately shook his head, smiled and said, "I'm just a guy in the store, our shopkeeper...... There it is! ”

With the little guy's eyes, Wang Cheng soon saw a middle-aged man standing behind the counter.

Sensing Wang Cheng's gaze, the middle-aged man immediately smiled and bowed slightly at him, looking elegant and polite. And the other party's reaction made the corners of his mouth twitch, and he subconsciously wanted to compare himself with the other party...... As a result, Wang Cheng felt very uncomfortable, because he found that this shopkeeper seemed to be, maybe, maybe a little better than himself?

This feeling made Wang Cheng's heart irritable.

"Huh? What did he just say? ”

At this time, Wang Cheng suddenly came back to his senses and remembered what this guy said just now: There are only pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the store, and there are no books to sell?

Haha, then what is your bookstore called?

Wang Cheng instantly regained some sense of superiority, looked around, ignored the elegant and exquisite decoration style of Xinhua Bookstore, and just looked at the open space - it seemed that it should be the place where books would be placed in the future, but now they are all empty.

With a light breath, Wang Cheng smiled comfortably: "Then bring a few pieces of your paper, and I'll see how it goes." ”

"Okay, wait a minute!"

After a while, the servant brought him two pieces of cut white paper.

Putting the paper in his hand and looking at it, he twisted it gently, and Wang Cheng, who was still a little careless, was stunned again, and his eyes were suddenly round!
