Chapter Twenty-Eight: Wisdom Retires from Scholars and Talents
In fact, Shen Xi was still quite worried about Lu Qingyi, after all, he was not lightly injured, although he was a doctor himself, but Shen Xi always felt that Lu Qingyi would not take care of himself.
But if she takes the initiative to see Lu Qingyi, it is obviously impossible, she will feel too shameless.
Shen Xi didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
When she got up the next morning, it was already noon, thinking that her store had not yet been installed, so she got up quickly, and blamed Shen Fang for not calling her to get up, which made her delay her business.
When she went downstairs, she saw that Wen Ruzheng was painting the murals there by herself, and she had already painted more than half of them, and there were already customers in the store who were choosing books.
When Shen Xi saw it, his heart was very warm.
She and Wen Wen just take what they need, but Wen Ru seems to have made the bookstore a part of her life.
Shen Xi cleaned up and went to help.
When they painted the characters in the book with dye on the wall, the door of the shop was open, and they painted and decorated the shop in this way, attracting a large number of people to watch. They kept talking, and because it was the first time they had seen this kind of novelty, they were all curious.
This has also attracted a lot of popularity to this shop.
Shen Xi and Wen Ruhua were finally finished by lunchtime, Shen Xi was covered in dye, she looked at this new storefront, no matter how tired she was, it was worth it.
Shen Fang also asked Shen Xi to wash their hands and eat, and she came to clean up what should be cleaned up.
Because the paint had just been painted, the paint had not yet dried and the smell had not yet dispersed, so Shen Xi opened the window.
At this time, the store was full of people, all of whom were full of curiosity about this Shen bookstore.
When they came in, they all paid for books, and Shen Xi was happy when he was settling accounts at night. If she follows this flow of customers every day, she will be able to buy a house early next year at the latest.
That's what she's trying towards.
The people arranged by Lu Qingyi also reported the situation on Shen Xi's side to Lu Qingyi on time every day, and every time Lu Qingyi would ask about the progress of the relationship between Wen Ru and Shen Xi.
At noon that day, it was a rare leisure time, Shen Xi wanted to be lazy and go to sleep, who knew that five or six people came in the store at once, dressed as scholars, but it seemed that he was quite rich.
Shen Xi wanted to persuade them to buy a few books with her three-inch incorruptible tongue, but when they came in, they first flipped around the paintings on her wall, and then flipped through her new books casually, and talked about it to themselves, without even looking at Shen Xi.
This arrogant appearance made Shen Xi really a little angry.
She simply stood in front of them and stopped them, "Are you here to buy books or what are you doing?" Isn't it interesting that you've been criticizing my store and my books since you entered the store? ”
The scholar who took the lead looked Shen Xi up and down, and chuckled, "It seems that you are the owner of this bookstore?" ”
"I'm the boss, what's wrong?" Shen Xi can't get used to their dog-eyed look, and she has never been a bully!
"Since you are the boss, you should not sell such books in your store, mainly paintings, and pretend to be like this in your shop, which is simply ruining the national style of our country." The scholar fanned a fan in winter, and Shen Xi wanted to tell him that it was winter, and it was not hot, so he had to take a fan as if he knew it very well.
Shen Xi stared at the scholars and disagreed, "Why did I corrupt the national style?" According to you, I still violated the law of the country by selling a book? If you really violate the law of the country, you can report to the official and arrest me, why bother to come here to find a sense of existence? ”
Shen Xi thought that except for Lu Qingyi, he hadn't lost the fight, so he wanted to come to her with these hairy boys, but there was no way.
"Whether it is the Book of Poetry or the Seven Words Quatrain, including the broad and profound words, all of which have been passed down to the ancestors, these are all things that have been passed down by the ancestors, how can they be lost?" The leading scholar spoke impassionedly, expressed his patriotic feelings, and then belittled others as worthless, thinking that he would be superior to others if he could read a few words.
Shen Xi does not deny the long history of writing and its profundity, but there has never been more than one way to spread culture, and it is also worth advocating to spread culture in a more understandable way.
"Then according to what you say, we can simply speak in classical Chinese, why are there dialects and official dialects?"
The scholar was stunned for a moment, and Shen Xi continued, "Also, in this country, people who want to read are not only those of you who think you know the world after reading a few books, but also people who have no opportunity to read and write, they don't know any ancient poems in seven words, they don't know any classical Chinese, they don't even know their own names. ”
Shen Xi suddenly paused and stared at the scholars, "So in your world, they don't deserve to read, right?" ”
She pressed step by step, and said a bunch of remarks, leaving the scholars speechless.
"You...... You're clever in your words. ”
"You don't care if I'm clever or not, but if you say it, it means that you can't find anything to refute me, and since you can't refute it, it means that you agree with it, right? Although it was forced to agree. Shen Xi's controversy today can be said to have brought over all the grievances she suffered from Lu Qingyi, and her heart is much more comfortable.
Those scholars originally wanted to come to hit Shen Xi, but they never wanted to be said by Shen Xi alone that they couldn't refute it, so they had to leave in disgrace.
Shen Xi looked back at Wen Ru with an incredible face, and smiled, "What, do you think they are right?" ”
Wen Ru hurriedly shook his head, "There are many forms of culture, and we can't just stick to one, society will progress, and we will also progress." ”
Wen Ru has been watching, where does he dare to refute Shen Xi's words, for fear that there will be a lot of words waiting for him, and he can't bear it.
"You're still an acquaintance, unlike them, stubborn." Shen Xi also knew that the tree was a big move, and since she chose to open such a store, she would naturally have to bear more than ordinary ones.
During the meal, Shen Fang mentioned that he hadn't seen Lu Qingyi recently, and Shen Xi said that he had missed his mouth for a while.
Shen Fang glanced at Shen Xi, "Why didn't you say it earlier when he was injured?" You should have gone to see him. ”
Shen Xi knew that every time Lu Qingyi was mentioned, Shen Fang would have a great reaction.
"You know I've been busy lately, so I don't have time to see him." Shen Xi made an excuse.
"That's not good, people are kind to you, you can buy something to see him after you eat, and Wen Ru and I will just look at this store." Shen Fang always thinks about Lu Qingyi.
With Shen Xi's extreme reluctance, she specially spent money to buy supplements and embarked on the road to visit Lu Qingyi.
She thought about what she should say to Lu Qingyi when she saw him, and she even thought about how Lu Qingyi saw her expression.
The only thing she didn't expect was that when she went to the old mansion, it was an empty house, and there was no one.
Shen Xi always felt that something was wrong, could it be that he went out to play?
