Chapter 64: Strange Fonts

In the summer of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Chang'an City was calm.

The emperor went to Jiucheng Palace, and in addition to the concubines, there were a large number of palace maids, eunuchs and guards, and of course, the protection of the army was indispensable. In addition, the bigwigs in the court naturally have to follow, plus their relatives and subordinates in the family, it is really not a small number.

The solemnity of Chang'an City has been reduced a lot because of this.

But at the same time, the East Market, West Market, and Pingkangfang have become lively, and the flow of people is endless most of the time from the sound of drums to the beginning of the curfew, so that the shopkeepers can't help but smile.

Early this morning, Wang Yun and his two cousins got up and walked to the gate of Dongshi for almost half an hour.

"This place is one of the most lively markets in Chang'an City."

Pointing inside, Wang Yun said with a proud smile on his face: "There are thousands of people coming in and out every day, and the goods bought and sold are even more dazzling, not only our Tang Dynasty things, but also the goods of Goryeo, Turkic, and Western Regions, as long as you have heard of it, you can find it here......"

"Amazing...... So many people! ”

"Are the people of this square on top of our city?"

There is no difference from those young people who go out for the first time in later generations to work or go to school in a big city, Wang Yun's two cousins widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide, looking at all this in front of them with shock.

In fact, since the day they came to Chang'an City the day before yesterday, this shock in their hearts has not dissipated!

This kind of shock will not be experienced by people in the future at all.

Even if the young people of the future have not been to the big city, they have been on the Internet and watched TV...... Even if it was earlier, when the Internet had not yet become popular and television was not popular, at least I had read books and seen posters in schools, right? So even if it is also "Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden", the young people in the future are at least mentally prepared, and the rest is just to see with their eyes and listen with their ears.

But for the two of them, the situation is completely different.

This is the Tang Dynasty, the thirteenth year of Zhenguan!

For most people, the range of activities in life is only a few tens of miles...... Some people have never even left their village in their entire lives! And even if they live in a "city", it is nothing more than a big town like Luzhou.

In a city of this level in Chang'an, they never dared to think about it.

So this is also the reason why Li Shimin thought he was generous and was ready to let his heroes and sons be hereditary assassins, including the eldest grandson Wuji, all expressed their opposition, and even said that he was unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Compared with Chang'an, except for a few cities such as Luoyang, other places are not worth mentioning at all!

Anyway, at this moment, looking at the crowded and lively scene in the East Market in front of them, and thinking about everything they had seen in Chang'an City in the past two days, Wang Yun's two cousins both had the idea of staying in Chang'an and not going back......

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look!"

Seeing the shocked looks of the two cousins, Wang Yun felt very comfortable, and immediately patted one of them on the shoulder and smiled: "There are a lot of good things here, as far as your favorite reading is concerned, there are at least ten bookstores in the entire East Market!" And the bookstore here is not like yours, where there are only a few dozen books to support the scene...... Tsk, the bookstore in this East Market has at least hundreds of books! ”

"Huh? It's true? ”

After hearing his words, the little cousin was suddenly surprised and delighted, and his eyes widened again.

Hundreds of books?

That's amazing!

There is only one bookstore in their small town, and there are always dozens of books sold in it, almost never increasing, what a pity for a book lover?

So now when he heard his cousin's words, the little cousin suddenly became a little impatient: "Then hurry up, let's find a bookstore and have a good look!" ”

"Hey, don't worry!"

At this time, the eldest cousin, who had been staring at him with wide eyes and not speaking, was not happy, and quickly interjected: "Cousin, don't go to the hospital yet!" Ahem, I've heard a long time ago that there are a lot of Hu merchants in this East Market, and ...... Hehe, I heard that the Hu woman is completely different from my Datang, and she has a unique style, but I don't know if it's true? ”

When he said this, the eldest cousin grinned, without the slightest hint of shyness.

"Haha, of course it's true!"

Seeing the eldest cousin rubbing his hands with a look of anticipation on his face, Wang Yun was suddenly happy.

That's right!

It's still the eldest cousin who has an appetite for himself, unlike the little cousin here, who is obviously fourteen years old, and turns out to be like an unweaned child, who has nothing but reading and writing, [5200] is not interesting.

And......

To be honest, Wang Yun likes to see his cousin look like he has no knowledge!

"Let's go, my brother will take you to open your eyes!"

Wang Yun ignored the opposition of his little cousin, and took them to a Hu shop he was more familiar with, and said in a low voice as he walked: "It happens to be not far from here, and it was opened by a Hu merchant who sells spices." My brother, you said, the shop is quite big, and one of Hu Shang's concubines is in charge of it...... Tsk, you will know what the Huren woman looks like when you get there! ”

As he spoke, Wang Yun's eyes lit up.

In fact, taking his cousin to open his eyes or something is just an excuse for Wang Yun.

The fact is that Wang Yun wants to see it himself.

Since the first time he saw that orchid, Wang Yun has never forgotten it, especially at night, as long as he thinks of orchid's long legs, thin waist and chest, he will toss and turn, and he can't sleep all night......

When you come to Dongshi, how can you not go and see it?

So the words of the eldest cousin are just a beginning, and Wang Yun's own thoughts are the most important.

It's just that after walking three or four hundred steps, the little cousin suddenly stopped, looking at a shop next to him and couldn't move his legs. After looking up at the name of the store, Wang Yun suddenly understood in his heart, and at the same time, his eyelids were quite helpless.

It's really unlucky, why did you come across a bookstore first?

And judging from the plaque and faΓ§ade of this bookstore, it is obvious that it is still a "big store"!

"Cousin, big brother, let's take a look at this one first!"

The little cousin didn't understand what his brother and cousin were in a hurry to do, but since he had already arrived at the door of the bookstore, how could he bear it? Naturally, he immediately said: "I promise that after I go in, I will only look at a few times and open two books at most...... Up to half a stick of incense time! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Looking at his pleading face, the two brothers were speechless.

Wang Yun is because of his status as a guest, it is difficult to refuse, and the eldest cousin is because he knows his younger brother's temperament too well, and knows that if he is dragged away, I am afraid that the next trip to Dongshi will be very unpleasant, so after hesitating for a while, he can only smile bitterly at Wang Yu: "Cousin, since you are here, let's go in and have a look, it won't take long to ......."

Then a group of three people approached the Xinhua bookstore, and after scanning around, they were all stunned.

What's the situation?

Why is there so few books on the shelves of this bookstore that looks quite grand from the outside? It looks like there are only two bookshelves with something on them?

With this doubt, the little cousin frowned slightly, walked to a bookshelf, picked up a book and opened it: ""University"? Why is there only such a book? Hey? This font looks weird......"
