Chapter 60 The Bookstore
Mrs. Tan's mother and daughter were looking forward to Li's mother's arrival, but Li Zheng sent news that her mother was sick on the way to Beijing and would have to wait some time to come.
After Tan Yin knew the news, she proposed that she wanted to go to meet and take care of her, Li Zheng advised her not to be nervous, this time there was a reliable person to send her to Beijing, and she would naturally come after a few days of recovery, and Mrs. Tan Tan Yin had to wait quietly when she heard this.
……
There is no one in the world who does not know about the bookstore, and for the readers, if they don't come to the bookstore in Beijing, it means that they don't come.
The museum office is located at the foot of the green hill in the northwest of the city, with a lake in front of it. Originally, it was the private residence of a prince in the previous dynasty, but I don't know who bought it in this dynasty and opened this bookstore. The first three houses are bookstores, selling books, reading books, and the four treasures of the study, calligraphy, painting, etiquette and music, and the back garden often holds some elegant gatherings, book clubs, etc., Xu Linhai will talk in this garden today.
In the northwest of Shangjing, there are Hanlin Academy, Guozijian and a number of academies, and the people jokingly call the place with the most ink in Shangjing, and the birds on this tree can also chant a few words.
There are also countless stories of scholars and ladies, talented and beautiful women, ghosts, monsters and foxes that happened in this place, which are circulated wherever there is water drawing, and the women and girls of Jokhang love to watch it, and it has added countless beautiful reverie.
And the museum book office often appears in these books. The most bridge is that Miss Scholar takes a fancy to a book at the same time, both of them go to get it, the scholar is handsome, Miss is beautiful, you push me to let it, and find that it is the same interest, which leads to a series of love and hatred, world entanglements, and writes another beautiful legend......
Lu Qing rushed to the courtyard where everyone lived in the west of the city early in the morning, and several people took a car to the bookstore together, but it was not far away. In the car, Lu Qing told several people these anecdotes.
"Yes, yes, you said that Miss Scholar took the book, I have read no less than ten books, do you say that these authors can't think of fresh bridges? I wondered, I can't put a few more copies! Anyway, I sell books, and the more I sell, the more I earn, and I don't know how to do business. Yan Min felt the same way, and quickly nodded.
Tan Yin hurriedly answered: "Well, I've read no less than dozens of books." Some young ladies deliberately threw away handkerchiefs or pearl hairpins for scholars to pick up, there are so many people, what if this handkerchief or pearl hairpin is picked up by others. ”
Yanya smiled: "You two are too serious!" If you don't write like this, how can you make up this story! ”
Tan Yin said: "It's no coincidence that there is no book, but do you think that someone will read these scripts and learn to do this!" ”
Stories come from life and are higher than life......
"Why not? In the northwest of this city, there have always been many scholars and scholars. Not to mention this bookstore, there is a temple nearby, the temple is not big, the temple has not been built for a long time, and the abbot is not a monk who has attained the Tao, but the incense is vigorous! I don't know how many ladies and girls take the opportunity of incense to have a beautiful encounter. Lu Qing pointed out sharply.
Tan Yin's eyes widened, "This Buddha gate forbidden place has become a Yuelao Temple!" I don't think you should burn incense, just tie the red thread. ”
Several people laughed when they heard this.
Sure enough, all the way past, the traffic was busy, endless, and the fragrance lingered, and I couldn't move two miles away from the Bo Bookstore. The groom said that it would take about half an hour to arrive if it was blocked like this, and if he walked over, the time for half a pillar of incense would come, and a few people thought about it and decided to go on foot.
When I got out of the car, I found that there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, and it was as lively as a market. Whether it is a guy or a girl, they are all dressed neatly and cleanly, as if they are going on a date, and some men and women have even started talking, and the folk customs in Shangjing are still much rougher and more unrestrained than in the south.
When I finally arrived at the bookstore, it was better to see than to hear, and it was indeed worthy of the title of the largest bookstore in the world.
First went to the four treasures area of the study, Tan Yin bought an inkstone for her father, and Yan Ya Yanmin also bought some pen, ink, paper and inkstones for the old and young in the family. I carefully appreciated the famous calligraphy and painting, but although the discount was still high, Tan Yin gritted her teeth and bought another famous calligraphy for her father. Tan Yin used up all the money in her private house last time, Mrs. Tan felt sorry for her daughter, knowing that things in Beijing were expensive, so she had to go out, so she gave some silver taels, and today she is going to be shy again.
After buying the items, a few people went straight to the topic of the day, signed and bought the book.
There are so many people today, and I heard that the garden behind is guarded, so you can't enter without an invitation. Many people patrolled the periphery, refusing to give up, hoping that some opportunity would suddenly come, listening to the cheers from time to time inside, scratching their ears and cheeks, and being anxious.
A few people stayed in the front yard, and they could hear the noise outside from time to time.
Yan Min picked a few books on the cultivation of goods, all of which are the experience of some big businessmen, one of which has just been put on sale today, in which the knowledge of goods storage and trading is very novel, and it is very rewarding to read it.
Tan Yin picked a few medical books, travelogues and novels, while Lu Qing picked some scripts and poems.
Shangjing gathered the best florists in Jokhang, among which Mrs. Xu is famous all over the world, and today there is Mrs. Xu's book signing activity. Yanya came to Beijing this time, and occasionally thought that she could meet her, but her family didn't know that she admired Mrs. Xu, and she didn't want to trouble others, so naturally she wouldn't mention it.
Mrs. Xu queued for a long time to sign and sell books, and Yanya saw that the queue was still very long, so she asked several other people to continue to choose.
A few people were about to go to other areas to sweep up, and Lu Yin's personal attendant Lu Wang came to look for them and asked everyone to go to the back garden together. A few people, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Lu Yin is singing, and I don't want to go over.
Lu Wang said with a sad face: "Girls, how can you let the little one explain to the child!" ”
"What's so hard to explain this, let's just say we're reading a book!" Lu Qing didn't have a good airway.
Lu Wang begged pitifully to his girl: "Girl, even if you don't pity the little one, can't you be considerate of the child?" ”
Tan Yin sighed secretly and said to Lu Qing: "Aqing, I'll go with you!" Let Yanya and Yanmin stay here. ”
Lu Qing thought about it for a while, and it was estimated that it was Zheng Xi who came up with a trick, pushed Lu Yin out, thought about his brother's situation, nodded with Tan Yin, said goodbye to Yanya Yanmin temporarily, and the two went to the back garden with Lu Wang.
