Cao Yan turned blindly on the road.

After looking for a long time, he didn't see a bookstore, which made him mutter: "There is no map, no navigation, what a trouble!" It looks like we're going to have to use the old way, go find someone and ask for directions. ”

But who to turn to?

Cao Yan looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and felt a little difficult.

Of course, there are also many people who are also looking at Cao Yan.

Especially some women.

It doesn't matter how old you are.

As long as it's the beginning of love.

Cao Yan is all killed.

After all, 99 points of appearance.

It's a bit high outrageous!

……

Cao Yan stared at a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who looked like a maid,

Suddenly chuckled.

It's not that the girl looks funny.

Instead, she stared at Cao Yan vigorously.

But she didn't notice that the carriage in front of her had stopped, and she continued to walk on.

"Bang." A bang.

Sure enough, as Cao Yan thought,

The little girl's head hit the carriage.

"Oops!" She cried out in pain.

Then she quickly reached out and rubbed her head, which was a little painful from being hit.

But that's it, she hasn't forgotten to look at Cao Yan's location.

Seeing Cao Yan looking at herself and laughing, the little girl's face suddenly turned red, she should have felt a little embarrassed that she had lost face in front of Cao Yan.

……

"That's you." Cao Yan said secretly and walked over to her.

His action made the little girl a little nervous.

She didn't know why Cao Yan was coming to her.

Just when she was a little flustered, Cao Yan came to her side and asked, "Hello! Did you know there's a bookstore around here? ”

The little girl relaxed when she heard Cao Yan's question, but then she asked suspiciously: "Bookstore?" ”

"Well," Cao Yan smiled and nodded, he was very satisfied with the performance of this little girl, this is a little fan girl now.

I didn't expect that I could still harvest a little fan girl, it's not easy.

Thinking of this, Cao Yan laughed again, and smiled very gently!

Dazzling gentleness.

The little girl was stunned, but then came to her senses.

Fingers twisted the corners of his clothes, lowered his head, and replied shyly: "My young lady is the one who runs a bookstore." ”

Hearing this, Cao Yan's heart was overjoyed.

After all, there is such a little fan girl to bring it.

So when you wait for yourself to read a book in vain,

You shouldn't be kicked out, right?

Cao Yan also didn't know that the bookstore at this time, like the Xinhua Bookstore in later generations, was not for profit.

In the store, there is a children's reading area and an adult reading area, so that everyone can read books for free.

Cao Yan had heard that books in ancient times were relatively expensive, after all, the printing industry was not developed enough at this time.

Thinking of the more than one copper coin in Lin Ruyi's backpack,

Cao Yan thinks that this can be saved!

So he asked, "Can you take us there?" ”

"Hmm!" The little girl replied with a blushing face and pursing her lips.

……

Follow the little girl,

Walk through several bluestone roads.

Cao Yan and Lin Ruyi soon arrived in front of a bookstore.

There is a signboard hanging on the gatehouse.

I saw that it was written.

Xinyi study four big characters.

The bookstore is not big.

It should be about six or seven meters wide.

Opening a store at this time is not like a modern store.

How wide the position is, then how big the store door is.

The bookstore was only in the middle, with a door open.

It's about two meters wide.

On both sides are the walls and window sills.

In ancient times, shops were basically designed like this.

Follow the little rain girl and walk in.

On the road just now, Cao Yan had already asked the little girl's name.

Knowing that she was in a light rain weather,

I was bought by my own lady from a trafficker.

Therefore, he was called a little rain by his own lady.

Her young lady's surname is Zhong, and her name is Xinyi.

She is the daughter of a merchant family surnamed Zhong in Jinling City.

has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he is also well-known in Jiangning Mansion.

And she is also a female talent.

That's right.

You read that right.

The country allows women to participate in the imperial examinations.

And this imperial examination is still divided into men and women,

The two sides take turns.

For example, this year's male imperial examination,

Then next year will be the women's imperial examination.

Just now, the light rain was on the way, and her mouth didn't stop, and she praised her young lady in the sky.

This also allowed Cao Yan to get a lot of information.

The status of women in this world is not low.

And also free.

If you want to come out to play, be an official, and do business, you don't have the so-called accusations of showing up in ancient times.

This also made Cao Yan more and more curious about the world.

When, exactly, did this deviation occur!

……

Follow the light rain into the bookstore.

Cao Yan looked at the situation in the store.

At this time, the bookstore already had some people.

They were all young men, and there were no women, which made Cao Yan a little strange, and said secretly: "Is there a special women's bookstore?" But if there is, isn't Miss Xiaoyudi a woman? It stands to reason that this place should be full of women reading, right? ”

Of course, Cao Yan didn't dwell on the questions he couldn't figure out, and continued to observe.

On all four sides of the wall are rows of bookshelves filled with books.

In the blank space of the wall, there are several calligraphy and paintings.

To the right of the door is a counter.

Behind the counter is a large shelf.

On it are some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things.

At the counter, standing was a shopkeeper in his forties.

I saw the little raindrops, and then I saw her empty hands.

A little curious, he asked, "Xiaoyudian, why didn't you buy back what Miss asked you to buy?" ”

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, wait." After Xiaoyudian replied, she said to Cao Yan: "Master Cao, this is my young lady's bookstore, you are choosing the book you like first, I am in a bit of a hurry, so I will leave first." ”

Xiaoyudian didn't wait for Cao Yan to reply after speaking, and ran to the backyard as soon as she slipped away.

This made Cao Yan put his outstretched hand and wanted to ask where the history books were.

I looked around at the young men.

I want someone to ask.

However, all the people around him looked at him with a look of rejection.

This made Cao Yan a little curious.

I should be here for the first time, which means that I don't know these people?

So where is this enmity? Could it be that the original owner of his own body knotted it?

Just when Cao Yan was puzzled.

The shopkeeper looked over and asked, "Childe, what books do you need?" ”

Cao Yan retracted his doubtful gaze, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked with a smile, "The shopkeeper, where are the history books?" ”

"Oh, please come with me." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked out from behind the counter and walked towards a bookshelf with Cao Yan.

After arriving, he pointed to the books on the bookshelf in front of Cao Yan and said, "Childe, these are all there, I don't know what Childe is looking for?" ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper, I'll take a look at it first." Cao Yan said.

"Okay, please tell me when Childe is chosen." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he returned to the counter again.

Cao Yan picked up the book from the first row, the first place, and began to flip through it.

Books in ancient times did not have titles written on the side of the spine as they do now.

The title of the book is only available on the cover page.

Therefore, if you want to find any books, you can only take them out and read them.

Moreover, the history books of ancient cultivation are not like modern ones.

It's clear what happened over how many years.

What the result was!

There were those significant impacts.

Rather, it is described through biographies and the like, and sometimes cross-corroborating.

It's very troublesome.

Fortunately, Cao Yan only needs a general understanding.

But he didn't know what books he was supposed to read.
