It's false to say that you don't want to be tempted, but Shen Xi also knows in his heart that it is impossible to achieve it at least for now.

So he waved his hand slightly: "The foreign land is still unstable now, and when your side stabilizes, I will naturally open the bookstore." ”

"But I remember...... The language you use in foreign lands is different from ours. Shen Xi suddenly remembered that the characters of the three countries of Chu, Zhou, and Wu were roughly the same, but the more remote places like the foreign land were different.

Qianluo nodded slowly: "I forgot about this problem, and when we have the opportunity in the future, we can find someone to turn the words in the book into our words." ”

Shen Xi blinked: "You mean to translate?" ”

"What is a translation?" Qianluo was a little puzzled: "The girl is really interesting to talk about. ”

Shen Xi smiled, she didn't expect that she was an ordinary little person, and the works she wrote had the opportunity to be translated. It's really ...... Too psychedelic.

Qianluo seemed to like the culture of Chu very much, and stayed in Shen Xi's bookstore all morning. Shen Xi was happy and relaxed, and stayed upstairs alone to write and draw.

By noon, Qianluo still looked drunk. Shen Xi was not only a little emotional, but he didn't expect that the so-called understanding of culture turned out to be these cartoons that understood himself.

However, Qianluo is also a messenger from a foreign land, and he can't really let people read comics all day, so at noon, Shen Xi deliberately took Qianluo to a Zhuangzi outside the city.

This Zhuangzi was a high-ranking official before, but because the person committed a big crime, the emperor investigated and punished Zhuangzi was taken down by a businessman, in Shen Xi's view, Zhuangzi's business model is somewhat similar to modern farmhouses.

But unlike the farmhouse, this Zhuangzi is usually visited by some literati and artists, who chant poetry and paint here.

The gate of Zhuangzi is not magnificent, the two rows of bamboo at the door add an elegant atmosphere to the decoration, although the weather is cold now, but the bamboo is still green, and it looks a little springy.

Qianluo followed Shen Xi into this Zhuangzi, Shen Xi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Childe, don't you ask where this is?" ”

"Girl, can the place you bring down be an ordinary vulgar place?" Qianluo suddenly laughed, holding a fan in his hand that he didn't know where to feel.

Qianluo's current appearance really looks a bit like the style of a literati of the Chu Kingdom, of course, the premise is to ignore his face full of exotic characteristics.

Shen Xi turned around and pointed to the two rows of bamboo at the door of the Zhuangzi and said, "This Zhuangzi has no plaque, but it is famous because of these two lines of bamboo, and the world calls it 'Bamboo Garden'." ”

"The name does sound good." Qianluo nodded slowly: "I heard that you said that Meilan Zhuju is the fourth gentleman. I wonder if there is a 'plum garden'? ”

Shen Xi smiled and didn't speak, a man came across the face, just looking at his face, Shen Xi's heart unconsciously sprung up with four big words "warm as jade".

"Why is Miss Shen interested in coming to us to take a look?" Before the man approached, the voice had already reached Shen Xi's ears.

The person in front of him is the owner element of the bamboo garden, and he is also a merchant. It's just that looking at his face, no one will associate him with a businessman, he looks like a showman. 2k

The element naturally knows Shen Xi, to be precise, in the territory of Chu State, as long as it is the name of the literati and ink writer Shen Xi, they have all heard of it.

However, Shen Xi knew the elements, not because he was the owner of the bamboo garden, but because of his identity as a businessman. Lu Qingyi's family is the richest man in Chu State, so he naturally has something to do with him.

Shen Xi greeted him with a smile: "How did Mr. come out in person?" ”

"Miss Shen's arrival makes me shine here, how can I not dare to come out to greet me?" The element saluted Shen Xi.

Suddenly noticing Qian Luo who was following Shen Xi, she frowned a little puzzled: "Who is this?" ”

As a gathering place for literati and artists, Zhuyuan naturally has its own uniqueness, and a very important consensus is that those who come to Zhuyuan are literati. If you are not a literati, you will not be welcomed.

Shen Xi smiled a little embarrassedly, and then introduced to the element: "This is an envoy from a foreign land, and he admires our culture very much. I brought him here today just to get to know a little bit about it. ”

"I see, below is the master element of this bamboo garden." The element bowed to Qianluo, and Shen Xi clearly saw that although there was a smile on his face, there was a bit of contempt behind the smile.

Shen Xi knew that literati had always been self-contained, and foreign lands were barbaric in their eyes, and they all looked down on them a little in their hearts. But now Shen Xi is a little uncomfortable in her heart, no matter what Qianluo says, she is also the person she brought.

Besides, no matter how hard Qianluo can't do it, it's also exotic, and the appearance of the elements doesn't seem to be hospitable enough for the Chu State.

"Sir, are you just going to let us stand here and blow the wind?" Although Shen Xi had a smile on his face, the tone in his mouth became sharp.

The elemental's face stiffened, probably realizing that he had just done wrong. He smiled wryly: "Oh, look at my memory, just now I thought that I had some good tea here, and I wanted the two of you to come over and taste it." ”

As he went deeper into the Bamboo Garden, the expression on Qianluo's face became more and more surprised. The elemental had been secretly looking at the expression on Chira's face, and he couldn't help but feel a little more smug on his face.

"This son, although the name of the bamboo garden is Zhuyuan, there is no shortage of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums in it. At the same time, these four gentlemen also created a sense of the four seasons in my bamboo garden. The smile on the elemental's face became more cordial at this time, and people only became more gentle when they talked about what they loved.

Qianluo nodded with surprise on his face: "I see, no wonder I felt a trace of spring when I passed by that courtyard just now." ”

"It's Spring Garden over there, and it's not time for Childe to come. If you can spend some time in the morning, the plum blossoms in the winter garden are in bloom, and the scenery is very ordinary. ”

As he spoke, the element pointed to the garden at hand, where the bare plum tree stood in the middle of the garden, and although there were no famous flowers on it, it looked unique.

Qianluo subconsciously walked over there, and only reacted when he was already under the tree. Scratching his head a little embarrassedly: "We have a hot and humid weather in a foreign land, and we have never seen plum blossoms." Believe in the winter...... The plum blossoms are in full bloom and should be very beautiful. ”

"That's nature. If you have a chance in the coming year, Childe must come and have a look. A smile also appeared on Shen Xi's face, the current Qianluo was much more likable than in the morning.

Qianluo smiled and nodded: "If you have the chance, you must come over." ”

"Today happens to be the day when the literati and artists hold a poetry meeting, and the two of you can go over and have a look after tasting tea."
