"Hua Niang, my father-in-law loves to read, and I want to buy him a few books, do you know any good bookstores in this Youlan Town?"

"Yes, there is a big bookstore in Youlan Town, called Xinglong Bookstore, just on the same street as me, the store is big, and there are a lot of books in it, what books you want to find, there must be all there!"

"That'...... What kind of person is the shopkeeper? ”

Hua Niang felt strange: why did she have to ask the shopkeeper so clearly when she bought books.

But she didn't ask anything, "People are not very serious people, at least there should be some ink in the stomach to open a bookstore, he is good, he doesn't know a few words, and besides, this businessman, who can have no means, this person's character is not good, otherwise how can there be only this big bookstore in the town!" If he eats meat in this bookstore, the other bookstores can only drink soup! One after another, they were all closed. ”

Xie Yuluo was a little deflated and asked, "Are there any other bookstores?" ”

Hua Niang thought for a while, "I remember opening a new one, but the store is too small, what is it called Sanwei Study, just in a small alley behind here, how many books can be placed in the storefront, and the books in it must not be complete." If you want to buy books, go to Xinglong Bookstore to buy them, there are many books there, and you will definitely find what you want! ”

Xie Yuluo thanked Hua Niang and went back with her two children.

Before leaving, she went to look at the two bookstores.

Xinglong Bookstore, because it has been open for a long time, and the owner is a local, and the business is very good.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Xinglong Bookstore, I saw a person lying on a rocking chair, with a big belly, still holding a wine jug in his hand, and sipping one sip.

How could this man lie in front of the bookstore and drink in broad daylight?

When the people who came in and out saw the people on the recliner, they nodded their heads one after another: "Mr. Ye......"

"The ...... of the Ye Shopkeeper"

Mr. Ye, the shopkeeper of Ye, I heard that the shopkeeper of Xinglong Bookstore is called Ye Xinglong.

Before the person approached, he smelled the pungent smell of wine emanating from the person's body, and the owner of a bookstore was actually holding a wine jug to drink outside in broad daylight, this is a restaurant or a bookstore!

This is too disrespectful to the literati, isn't it?

Xie Yuluo did not step forward, but looked twice not far away, and saw a poorly dressed man walking out of the bookstore.

The man looked quite old, his hair was gray, and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled.

I saw Ye Xinglong standing up with a wine jug: "Hey, poor scholar, what book did you buy today?" ”

The scholar said with some embarrassment: "Ye ...... Mr. Ye, I, I didn't buy any books! ”

"Didn't buy it?" Ye Xinglong didn't seem to believe it: "It's because I can't read the books here if they are not good?" ”

The scholar hurriedly said: "No, no, Mr. Ye, you misunderstood, it's ...... There just isn't...... Nothing I wanted! ”

Ye Xinglong said with a look of disdain: "You have picked for more than an hour and still haven't found what you want?" Do you treat my bookstore as a good place where you can read books for free? Or do you want to make me your home, and come and go as you want? ”

Because of Ye Xinglong's ridicule, the guests in the bookstore and the pedestrians outside all gathered around to watch the excitement.

The scholar was already embarrassed, not to mention being watched by so many people, and his face turned even redder: "Ye, Mr. Ye, I'm ...... I still have things to do at home, you have a lot of books here, I'll ...... tomorrow Come buy it tomorrow! ”

Ye Xinglong sneered: "Come buy it tomorrow?" You poor scholar, do you have any money? What do you buy it for? The trouser pocket is cleaner than the face, and you have to hit the west to buy the sun! ”

The scholar's cheeks were red from ridicule, and he bit his lip with great embarrassment, and heard Ye Xinglong pointing at the scholar and saying to the guy in the store: "If this poor scholar dares to enter the bookstore in the future, show me once and call once!" ”

The guy in the store was busy: "Yes, yes!" ”

Ye Xinglong continued: "Everyone take a look, this poor scholar, he has come to me several times, and he stays for more than an hour, and he doesn't buy a book every time, this is for nothing to see here." If this is placed in a restaurant, isn't it just a bully meal? Everyone must remember this face, don't let this poor scholar take advantage of it! ”

The onlookers burst into laughter.

The scholar was embarrassed and didn't dare to look up, he was wearing shabby clothes, patched up and down, and looked like his family was in dire straits.

Now that he was caught by Ye Xinglong and displayed in front of everyone, for a scholar, it was tantamount to being stripped naked and standing in front of everyone for ridicule, and that person broke free from the shackles of his buddy and fled in embarrassment.

ran away, and heard Ye Xinglong's mocking voice: "Dead scholars, poor scholars, don't study if you don't have money, you haven't even been admitted to the show at the age of thirty, and you're still reading a fart!" Hurry up and dig in the field early, come to me to take advantage, and you won't see who Lao Tzu is! ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

The ridicule was too strong, Xie Yuluo couldn't help frowning: Reading is everyone's right, who said that everyone can't study if they are poor at an age?

This Ye Xinglong is clearly a person who pretends to be a scholar in a straight suit, and while earning the money of the reader, he is doing the act of slandering the reader.

It's just hateful!

When the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Ye Xinglong once again took the wine jug and lay on the recliner and sipped a small wine, humming a song in his mouth!

Xiao Zimeng felt strange: "Sister-in-law, what is he singing?" ”

After Xie Yuluo heard two sentences, her face suddenly coaxed.

She hurriedly covered Xiao Zimeng's ears and took her away: "I didn't sing anything, I just sang some ordinary songs!" ”

His grandmother's, this Ye Xinglong has everything in his mind, and the beautiful songs are one after another, how did such a messy person open such a big bookstore?

If you want long-term cooperation, then the character of the partner must also pass, Xie Yuluo doesn't want to have nothing to do with herself.

Ye Xinglong is not a person with good character, Xie Yuluo will not cooperate with him, she went to find the three-flavor study.

Compared with Xinglong Bookstore, which is on the bustling street in the town, surrounded by people and lively, this three-flavor study is a little deserted.

First of all, the location, here is sparsely populated, except for the occasional passer-by, there are no other people, and then the scale of this three-flavor study is not as good as one-third of Xinglong Bookstore.

The scale of the passenger flow in the area cannot keep up.

Occasionally, when a guest enters, a bell at the door makes a pleasant sound in the wind, Xie Yuluo looked outside for a while, and saw one or two scholar-like people go in to buy books, and then leave.
