Chapter 40: Book Mountain.
"Do you know why Lin'an is called Book Mountain? Of course, it does not mean that there is a mountain in Lin'an, and there are books on the mountain, but that the books in the entire Lin'an city can be piled up into a mountain of hundreds of zhang. ”
……
Han Shu quietly walked on a bluestone-paved street, but after walking hundreds of steps, she saw more than ten bookstores, which shows that Lin'an is worthy of being called a book town.
She has long heard of Shushan Lin'an, the most famous of which is the birth of Shuyu Pavilion. It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, there was a rich man in Lin'an who loved to read books and loved to collect books, whether the books were rare or not, the rich man would always try his best to include them in his home, even if he spent a thousand dollars, so slowly, under the strong financial resources of the rich man, the books on the ancient land could basically be found in the home of the rich man, and these books even filled more than ten houses. However, unfortunately, the temperament of several children of the rich man is diametrically opposed to that of the rich man, especially in terms of books at home, several children of the rich man think that the rich man spends a lot of money but buys so many useless books is a waste of money, and the rich man is afraid that after his death, his children will resell and destroy all the books he has worked hard to collect, so in his later years, he arranged for domestic servants to hold a vigorous book delivery activity in Lin'an, and sent most of the books in the family to the people who live in Lin'an with him. The remaining rare books were placed in the Jade Pavilion established by his henchman in Lin'an, indicating that the books in the pavilion were as precious as jade, and the old servant who was also fond of books as the rich man was arranged to be the master of the Jade Pavilion, choosing the real owner for those precious books.
Now time flies, Shuyu Pavilion has become the largest bookstore in Lin'an, with ten floors of pavilions and thousands of books, becoming a beautiful scenery in Lin'an.
Although today's Shuyu Pavilion is a bookstore, and has always been selling books back and forth, it still abides by the rules set by the once rich man, and places some rare books and even solitary books on the top floor of the Shuyu Pavilion.
……
As if he sensed something, following the footsteps of the man in Tsing Yi, Han Shu immediately saw this magnificent building that was rare on the ancient land.
However, the first to enter the eyes of the cold crisp is not the building itself, but the peach blossom trees around the attic, the pink peach blossoms are chaotic, and with a faint fragrance, suddenly, a piece of peach petals fall off from the end of the branch and flutter in the wind, just towards the cold crisp slowly floating, Han Shu raised his hand to hold the petals, the slight itching feeling in the palm of the palm made Han Shu can't help but close his hands, the petals firmly grasped in the palm of the palm.
"It's beautiful." Han Su looked at the pink petals in the sky and said softly.
"Hmm."
Looking at the man's non-salty and non-trivial response, Han Su couldn't help but feel a little angry, and choked, "What is Mr. going to do here?" ”
"Buy books." The man in Tsing Yi said impartially.
"Sir, I just passed by so many bookstores, why did you buy them here?" Han Su showed a dissatisfied expression.
"It's the biggest here."
Han Shu suddenly stopped, because the reason of the man in Tsing Yi made her unable to refute, so she had to quietly follow the man's footsteps.
"Do you know what books to buy, sir?" Han Su asked as he walked.
"I don't know." The man in Tsing Yi replied lightly.
Han Shu rolled his eyes at the man, and said deliberately, "The so-called people can read books, and books can also look at people." The choice of books is important, and many great sages can become confidants and friends because of the same book, and they can also turn against each other because of another book. At the same time, different books give readers completely different feelings, books are things that educate people, good books can teach some ways of life, the principles of the country, bad books can lead to a person cynical, complaining about the world. However, like Mr. who doesn't know anything, Han Su doesn't know what to say. ”
The man in Tsing Yi was not annoyed when he heard this, but glanced at the girl lightly and smiled faintly, "It seems that you know a lot, so I can rest assured." ”
Listening to the man's words, Han Su always felt that something bad was waiting for her, but before she could ask, the man had already walked into the antique carved gate.
The girl sighed, and then walked helplessly towards the door.
……
The bookstore was very quiet, only the rustling of pages, and many people sat on the ground, looking at the book in their hands with a pair of eyes intently, looking peaceful.
On the contrary, a white-haired old man sat on a wooden bench next to the door, shaking his head, as if he was asleep.
"Ahem."
A light cough apparently broke the silence and woke up the drowsy old man.
The old man who had been interrupted from sleep was obviously very dissatisfied with the cough, and looked at the man in front of him with a frown.
"If this son is not feeling well, go home quickly, my Shuyu Pavilion is not responsible for curing the disease."
However, before the man in Tsing Yi could speak, the laughter like silver bells suddenly came into the ears of the old man, and the old man followed the sound and saw a little girl who knew at a glance that she was a beautiful embryo was covering her mouth and laughing, and at the same time secretly gave herself a thumbs up.
The old man was a little confused, but he felt that this little girl was a little cute. At this time, the man in Tsing Yi lightly explained the reason, "Buy books." ”
The old man frowned, "You don't need to spend silver taels to read books in the Shuyu Pavilion, so it's better for the son to think about it, if you like it, it's not too late to buy it." ”
However, the man in Tsing Yi still said those two words, "Buy books." ”
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little more angry in his heart, there is such a person who does not listen to persuasion, you must know that a book can cost several taels of silver.
However, for the door-to-door business, the old man naturally had no reason to refuse, but his tone was a little colder.
"Bring me the books you want to buy." The old man glanced at the empty-handed man in Tsing Yi.
"It doesn't fit here." The man in Tsing Yi replied.
The old man suddenly felt that this man was doing nothing, so he said, "Childe wants to buy those books, although he comes with Lao Yu, and Lao Yu will help Gongzi get them one by one." ”
The man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly, "I changed my mind and stopped buying books." ”
The old man raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to scold this man, only to see this man say softly, "I want to buy the entire Shuyu Pavilion." ”
Everyone who was originally holding a book to read it unanimously looked at the man in Tsing Yi, and they sneered even more when they heard this.
"Someone actually had the delusional idea of wanting to buy the entire Shuyu Pavilion?"
"Not to mention the dozens of priceless books, a book is ten taels of silver, this book Jade Pavilion also has tens of thousands of books, and it costs at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy these books, and the treasury of the entire Lin'an family is probably so much."
"It's just laughing out of your teeth."
……
At this time, a delicate shadow also happened to step into the Shuyu Pavilion.
"I want to see who wants to buy my Lin'an Shuyu Pavilion."
