Chapter 201: The Harvest Valley Library
"Miss Fang, that's it, please." Xiangjun said with a smile.
Fang Yue smiled and bent his eyes, "Don't dare, it's good for the townsman to send someone to the pastry shop to pick it up in three days." ”
Fang Yue and Chang'an sent Huabao Xiangjun out of the pastry shop, and watched the people's carriage go away, and Chang'an slowly turned around.
"Brother!" Fang Yue just shouted, but before she could speak, Chang'an interrupted her.
"Yueyue, I'll go to Lotus Hutong and send the books I received in the past two days over there."
"Huh?" Fang Yue wanted to ask, what if you leave and someone will deliver the book?
Chang'an picked up the book and said: "There are more people who give books than people who lend them to the library. ”
Mrs. Li grabbed Fang Yue with interest, "You're not walking!" No one in the store is literate, you stay, someone lends us books, you have to watch and pick. ”
Chang'an went to the backyard to pull out the carriage and drove the car slowly to Lotus Hutong.
From a long distance, you can hear Mrs. Niu chatting with people.
"Our rural children are pitiful! The grain laid in a year was sold, only enough to buy paper and pens for the baby, and a cheap book cost a few dollars of silver, and the family had no spare money, so the baby could only go to the bookstore to read.
When you meet a kind bookstore shopkeeper, people don't squeak to let you see, and when you meet someone who is not good at talking, the baby doesn't buy it, and people will pick people up! ”
Talking to my grandmother was a scholar from Ryo University. Chang'an stopped the carriage and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.
"Yo! My grandson is here," Mrs. Niu called Chang'an with a smile: "Fat Dun, here are the books again?" Send it in and give it to the gentlemen! ”
Scholar Liu asked, "This is your grandson?" Is it the eldest son of Fang County Order? ”
Chang'an bowed, saluted to the scholar of Liu, and reported to his home.
"What a talent, good!" Scholar Liu complimented.
Mrs. Niu waved her hand and said, "Go quickly!" I'm waiting to copy the book later! ”
Chang'an first confessed to Scholar Liu before pulling the carriage to the backyard.
Mrs. Niu said: "What's good, my eldest grandson-in-law you know!" It's Cai Kun, come back and tell me! Milk, there are a lot of books in the Hanlin Academy, but there are no schools in our town, so I copied them all back and asked people to take them back and read them to the children.
Our children from the countryside take care of their homes wherever they go and know how to carry things home. I was happy and sad to hear it. Our babies can't read, and how many babies like us don't have books to read! ”
Scholar Liu was sad, he was also from a poor family, and he felt the same way.
"No, our town is getting better, my fourth daughter-in-law is a warm-hearted person, and I will run a bookstore! I went to the letter to discuss with the patriarch, and the clan also strongly supported it, and replied that we can gain a foothold in Fenggu Town, and we will be favored by others, and we will have the ability to help others, and pull each other out, and everyone can get better.
There is an old man who said that he would charge a few dollars for coming to read books, in fact, he would let the reader cherish the books. Mrs. Niu asked in a straight voice.
Scholar Liu shook his head and said, "That's right, it should be like this!" ”
Just waiting for your words, Mrs. Niu smiled and handed him the VIP card, "Boss, you donate so many books to us, there is nothing in return, this is the VIP card of the library, you don't need money in the future." ”
"Okay." Scholar Liu accepted the card unceremoniously and asked, "How many books have you received?" ”
Mrs. Niu said proudly: "The old man went in and took a look?" It's really not old or young! We have a lot of money in the town, and the fourth daughter-in-law has pulled back a lot of books that can be bought in the city! ”
The entrance of the study building is a screen, an embroidered screen more than one person high, which is the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers painted by Fang Yue all the way into Beijing. The six embroiderers in the embroidery brocade workshop took three months to embroider, and Mrs. Li carried it here with a word.
"Look, my lord, the house was donated by Mrs. Li, and she also sent us a big screen, really, there are many kind-hearted people!" Mrs. Niu did not forget to help Mrs. Li.
Scholar Liu looked at the screen and nodded slowly, "The drawing method is unique." ”
Mrs. Niu didn't say that it was painted by her little granddaughter, and the chick was painted with embroidery, so there was nothing to confess. Bypassing the screen, there is a goldfish bowl in the atrium, and there are no goldfish in it.
"Look, this fish can spit out water on its own, isn't it fun?" Mrs. Niu pointed to the fish tank and smiled.
The fish tank is filled with water, and the water in the tank is pumped up through the small hole at the bottom and the water pressure is used. On the edge of the fish tank is a porcelain goldfish jumping out of the water, spitting water out with its mouth open.
Scholar Liu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you get this thing?" ”
Mrs. Niu said mysteriously: "Tell you, the drawings of the fish tank were drawn by my grandson, which is the one that the old man just saw, the Chang'an of the fourth family."
The drawings grandson bought a hundred taels of silver, plus a free fish tank, when do we set the fish tank, people give it away for nothing, that is, every time you change the water, you have to suck it at the mouth of the fish, and suck the water out of the tank, so that you can spit out the water all the time.
The boss is rare, I will give you one, and I will go back and let the boy in the family send you to the house. ”
Scholar Liu waved his hand and said, "No, no!" I ......"
"You're welcome! Really, don't be foolish with us, you brought so many books, it's worth a room of fish tanks. Seeing that the old man was about to speak again, Mrs. Niu hurriedly diverted the conversation and said, "The old man looks this way." ”
The study building sits in the north and faces south, and the entire hall on the first floor has only a few pillars in the middle, and there is no partition. Rows of bookshelves on the east side are already lined with books.
On the side of the bookshelf is a sign with a splendid picture of mountains and rivers written on it. Scholar Liu was immediately attracted by the bookshelf and forgot about the fish tank.
Because there are few books in ancient times, the bookshelves here are layered from the position of one meter two, the bookshelf partition is in the form of herringbone, the style of the reading shelf, the books are tiled against the bookshelf, and the spacing of each book is just right for the borrower to look through.
Scholar Liu casually opened a picture of the grand scene and praised: "It is quite convenient to place the books like this. ”
Mrs. Niu said: "Our family is useless here, this takes, that takes, draws and stuffs, and the book breaks quickly." It's so good, you can open it casually, close it if you don't like it, and don't pull it with other books when you take it away. It's just the cost of wood. ”
Scholar Liu said: "Old lady, spend some wood to avoid damage to books, and you can save a lot of money." ”
Two rows of grand scenery albums, it is the capital can buy all the grand scenery pictures.
Scholar Liu flipped through it, walked to the third row of bookshelves, and glanced at the title of the book with a frown, "This is not a grand picture. ”
Mrs. Niu pointed to the horizontal bar at the top of the bookshelf, "There are stickers on it, you can see what kind of book it is, and there are also signs on the side, so it is much easier to find books." ”
The third row is the travel book, the back row is the romance book, and then the fairy and strange chronicles.
"The first floor is all bought books, the whole city is here, the fourth daughter-in-law also asked people to bring it from the outside, the dart board has not been delivered, come again, the first floor will be filled!" Mrs. Niu is very satisfied with the first floor, there are books! Most of the bookshelves are full, better than the upstairs empty!
Scholar Liu smiled and nodded, there were no books he wanted to read on the first floor. Passing through the atrium, the desks on the west side are neatly arranged.
"You want to invite the Master to teach here?" From the point of view of Scholar Liu, it looks like a school.
Mrs. Niu shook her head and said, "It's the place to read the book." Look at the words on the wall, quiet! It's just that we don't let us talk loudly here. It's not started yet, let's just say it, and we won't be hit in the future! ”
After going upstairs, Scholar Liu's pace slowed down significantly.
The second floor is a hollow structure, with desks for reading books on the upper floors and two rows on the east and west sides of the bookshelves. The sun in the north window is not good, but you can see the flowers and plants in the back garden, and the new paint of the desk under the south window exudes a light smell.
The third floor is the same as the first floor, with only a few pillars in the middle, bookshelves in the atrium, and quiet rooms around it. Each room has a heavy wooden door for sound insulation, there are floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor, and there is a viewing platform outside the north window, so you can stand outside the window and enjoy the scenery and relax when you are tired of reading.
It's really a great place for readers.
Standing on the balcony outside the hanging window, Scholar Liu looked at the flower hall, the scholars were working hard to copy, and in the water pavilion boat hall, Lao Xiucai carefully proofread the copied books.
"You have done a good deed for the benefit of the readers!" Scholar Liu was grateful, he heard that a reading building was going to be built, and in the spirit of what a scholar should do, he donated some books for others to read, which is what he should do as a college student.
Unexpectedly, an old lady, a new Mrs. Hanlin, thought that it was difficult for her children to study, so she funded such a place. Respectable!
At this moment, Scholar Liu Daxue wanted to write an article to praise the simplicity of the peasant woman.
