Chapter 45: Sister of the Book (I)
After teaching the Huang family a lesson, Wu Jin let out a long breath of evil, he returned to the pawnshop and returned the five hundred taels of silver he borrowed, so that he had one thousand five hundred taels of silver in his hands, and the next step, he was going to buy a house for his eldest brother, and his brother's family of four was crammed into a small few dilapidated houses, which really made him unhappy.
He has entrusted the matter of buying a house to Luo Xiucai, this guy is well-informed, and he can find a satisfactory house for himself, but the house is not something that can be bought for a while, Wujin has nothing to do, and he has become idle again, the fifth uncle sighed, "Wujin, you just find something to do!" Otherwise, go on a blind date. ”
Speaking of blind dates, Wu Jin thought of a person, I haven't seen her for a long time, I don't know if she's still so obsessed with reading, it's okay to go and see her, hehe! That little lady is quite eye-catching.
Wu Jin is not very fond of girls who are addicted to books, his neighbor Uncle Wang in his previous life, has a granddaughter who is addicted to books, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, every time he comes to his grandfather's house, he turns his grandfather's bookcase upside down, and then holds a book and grins and giggles, and she doesn't realize it when she greets her, and the thirty-year-old leftover girl has no boyfriend yet, still holding a book and smirking.
Thinking of the female nerd in his previous life, Wu Jin felt goosebumps all over his body, and he admitted that if it weren't for the beautiful girl of the Nine Heavens, he would have forgotten where he would have forgotten her.
Wu Jin is more forgetful, and he has left behind the ice beauties he met when eating noodles, but young man! I don't study, I always have to think about girls when I have nothing to do, hehe! Human.
The pawnshop is not far from the Burrow Zhai bookstore, anyway, the hour is still early, he walks all the way leisurely, Shuyuan Street is still as quiet as before, everyone is leisurely, unhurried, living here, time seems to stand still, although Wujin is lazy, he can only tolerate his laziness, if the fifth uncle is also so unenterprising, he would have withdrawn his investment.
From afar, he saw the Burrowzhai bookstore, which was open and did not need to go in, so Wu Jin judged that the situation in the store was still that the nephew was playing a lantern - according to the (uncle) old, and there was no customer.
It is no wonder that Weiyang County was originally the premier commercial city of the Daning Dynasty, everyone was sharpening their heads to make a fortune, in this city full of glitz and copper smell, how could bookstores have the soil to survive.
Wu Jin was thinking about whether to persuade Uncle Yan to turn the bookstore into a financial book store, selling bestsellers such as money-making secrets or fortune ideas, and unconsciously walked to the door of the bookstore.
"Uncle Yan! Uncle Yan! ”
He shouted twice, but no one in there answered, and it was estimated that he was running to brag and chat again, anyway, it was the same whether the bookstore had him or not.
'Squeak! The door opened, and a fresh smell of ink and books came to the face, as if it was a new book, and the bookstore was deserted, and sure enough, there was no one, and the high shelves were neatly stacked, not like a bookstore, but like a private library.
Wu Jin instinctively looked towards the small warehouse on the second floor, his ears were pricked up, and sure enough, he heard the sound of Xi Suo Suo inside, his eyes glanced at the table, and the drawers were locked, so the person above was not Uncle Yan, who could it be?
Wu Jin's heart warmed up a little, he walked up the stairs lightly, and at a glance he saw the basket placed at the door of the hut, just as a snow-white soft hand reached out from the door and put a new book into the basket.
It seems that there are new books today, this little lady came in time, first took away a batch of essence, Wu Jin saw that there were at least twenty new books in the basket, he stepped forward and picked up the basket to try the weight, the weight is not light!
At a glance, he saw the girl in the small room who was looking for books, she was squatting in the pile of books, wearing a lilac dress, and her hair was combed into a bun, revealing her beautiful and white jade neck like a swan, Wu Jin just liked her gentle and elegant temperament.
As soon as she was distracted, the girl happened to put a book into the blue, the book was swinged, and she couldn't help but find the basket, she couldn't help but look back, but saw a man standing at the door, she was so frightened that she screamed, and even took a few steps back, 'Wow! A pile of books was overturned.
"You..... Who are you? ”
Wu Jin hurriedly raised his hand and said apologetically: "Don't be afraid, girl, don't you know me?" ”
The girl finally recognized him, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave him a blank look, "It's you!" Sneaky, it scared me. ”
She got up and straightened the overturned book again, and asked him, "What are you doing here?" Buy a book? Uncle happened to be absent. ”
Wu Jin also squatted down and helped her sort out the books together, "I heard that there were new books, so I rushed here, and it happened to be okay these days, so I wanted to come and find a few books to read." ”
"No, it won't!"
The girl stopped and looked at him in surprise, "My uncle's new book arrived half an hour ago, how do you know, where do you live?" ”
Wu Jin's face was hot, his grandmother's was only shipped half an hour ago, this lie was not easy to complete, he smiled awkwardly, "Okay! I'll tell you the truth, I was passing by here, so I wondered if the young lady would need someone to help carry the book, and when I came in to take a look, I guessed it. ”
The girl sneered, "You flamboyant guy, do you think you are Zhuge Liang, you can still pinch it, forget it, for the sake of you want to work for Miss Ben, I don't care about you, you can help me carry this basket of books at the door!" ”
"Great!"
Wu Jin was in a very good mood, he jumped lightly with the basket, and jumped over the railing from the second floor, and the girl was so frightened that 'Ah! She saw that Wujin was unharmed, and was squatting on the ground to read her book, so she patted her chest and said, "You are really...... Jumping down so high, aren't you afraid of twisting your feet? ”
She looked at it, and was suddenly startled, it was more than two feet high, this is not a matter of twisting her feet, this is going to kill her, she looked at Wu Jin again, as if she knew him for the first time.
"You.... What does it do? She asked, surprised.
"Me! I'm a street thug who has nothing to do. ”
"It's not!"
The girl shook her head, "Your accent is wrong, it's not a pure local, it's a bit like my hometown accent." ”
"Where is the girl's hometown?"
"Donglai County, Qizhou, have you been there?"
"No wonder!"
Wu Jin laughed, "Actually, I'm a local, but I went to Qizhou when I was ten years old, and I stayed there for seven years, so I have a bit of a Qizhou accent, Donglai County, well, I'm in Laoshan, we're very close!" ”
The girl was a little interested in him, she leaned on the railing and smiled: "What are you doing in Laoshan, do you learn martial arts?" I've heard that there are a lot of Taoist priests who are highly skilled in martial arts. ”
"That's right, I'm just going to Laoshan to learn some Taoism."
"Really? What kind of Taoism do you know? The girl's eyes widened and she asked curiously.
"I'll go through the wall, see me show you my hand!"
Wu Jin was a little naughty in his heart, he stood up, learned from the scholar in "Laoshan Taoist", clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and shook his head and sang: "The door is closed, no need to knock on your hands, whoever has gold, who has treasure, go through the wall, I go in through the wall, take it and run!" ”
After singing, he stomped his right foot, closed his eyes and hit the bookshelf, his head was still two inches away from the bookshelf, he suddenly raised his head, pretended to fall to the ground, rubbed his head and complained: "Oops! I have evil thoughts in my heart, and my wall-piercing technique doesn't work. ”
His antics make the girls 'cluck!' Straight laughing, covering her mouth and waist and laughing, half a sound, she gasped and asked, "You..... Where did you learn this? ”
"It's okay to make it up yourself!"
Wu Jin jumped up to the second floor in three steps and two steps, and also lay on the railing, tilting his head and asking her, "What's your name?" ”
The girl held her cheeks, winked and smiled: "You can call me Jiutian, this is my nickname, what about you?" ”
"My nickname is Silly Er."
"It's not a nice name, what's your big name?"
"Your uncle knows, you can call me Wujin."
"Wu Jin?" Jiutian was stunned for a moment, and asked him, "Is it the indifferent 'nothing', Qin Jin's 'Jin'?" ”
"That's right! Absolutely. ”
Jiutian was even more stunned, "Is your surname Huangfu?" ”
Wu Jin was also a little surprised, he smiled and said, "How do you know, are you a female Zhuge and can pinch it?" ”
Jiutian suddenly blushed, and she hurriedly shook her head, "It's nothing, I seem to have heard someone talk about it, I forgot a little, maybe it's my uncle!" ”
"I see!"
Wu Jin thought about it, it could only be like this, he seemed to have said it when he asked Uncle Yan to print a lottery ticket for himself, and he didn't take this matter to heart, and said with a smile: "Nine days, we have seen each other several times, and we can be regarded as friends, I always have a suggestion for you." ”
"Tell me, what's the suggestion?" Jiutian's smile was very sweet, with two small dimples on her cheeks, and Wu Jin realized that she smiled a bit like a little Lori Yimei.
He scratched his head, "I mean, don't read all day, if you have time to go out on an outing, go for a walk, your eyes will be broken if you keep reading." ”
"I have it! I also often go out for a walk with my friends, and after a few days, we even made an appointment to take a boat to West Lake! ”
Jiutian said that the West Lake is not the West Lake of Hangzhou, but the West Lake of the neighboring county, Wu Jin only felt a little sour in her heart, it turned out that she had friends, I don't know if it was a man or a woman? The atmosphere of the Daning Dynasty was open, and it was normal for men and women to go out on outings.
"It's that I'm thinking too much, I thought you were reading all day."
Wu Jin felt bored, so he got up and patted his clothes and smiled: "Okay!" I still have something to do, let's go first, we'll see you another day. ”
He easily jumped from the second floor again, turned around and waved his hand: "Nine days, goodbye!" ”
"Wu Jin!"
Jiutian hurriedly stopped him, Wu Jin had already walked out of the door, he stepped back on one leg, and probed in and smiled: "Is there anything else?" ”
"Why don't you go on an outing with us?"
"No need, I'm a person who likes to fight, I'll get you into trouble, see you another day!"
Wu Jin smiled and waved his hand, and left quickly, such a beautiful girl, how could she not have a sweetheart, the book sister generally likes to learn rich and five-car scholars, but not him, a Laoshan Taoist priest who does not learn and has no skills, go on an outing together? Hehe! He didn't want to be a light bulb.
Jiutian couldn't tell him, so she had to watch him go away, she shook her head lightly, and said to herself with a smile: "It turns out that he is Huangfu Wujin, but it's quite interesting." ”
