Chapter 687: The Library Pavilion of the Xiao Mansion
The reason why Xiao Ming wanted Sun Yanran to go to the library was to show the portrait to Sun Yanran, and when he heard that Princess Chun immediately said his thoughts, he immediately panicked, "I just painted it casually, and I don't know if the portrait is ......."
Sun Yanran saw that Gu Yue and Princess Chun both said this, so it was difficult to excuse herself, "Okay, I'll go to the library with Young Master Xiao to have a look......"
What she thought in her heart was that it would be better to follow her to the library pavilion, and when the time came, it would be much better to find a chance to slip away than to slip away under the nose of Princess Chun.
Princess Chun looked at the teenagers who were accompanying Xiao Ming, and smiled slightly, "You are all studying with your younger brother, I don't know if you have grown up, so let's go, this concubine is going to the garden to enjoy the flowers, you should also go, when the time comes, take the flowers as a poem, and let the concubine see your homework......"
These young men naturally didn't want to be with so many female dependents, but they also understood Princess Chun's words, that is, to separate them and not follow them to the library pavilion......
How dare they not listen to Princess Chun's words, one by one immediately nodded in agreement.
At the end of the corridor, there is a path paved with bluestone slabs, and the wildflowers of various colors grow on both sides of the path, which looks a little stylish.
Then there is the lotus pond, there is a stone arch bridge on the lotus pond, at this time, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond have just floated on the water, revealing some sharp corners, but also revealing a bit of spring.
Coming down from the stone arch bridge, it is the rockery pavilion, and then walking through a winding path, you will see a two-story attic, and the attic hangs the plaque of "Library Pavilion" with three big characters.
This Xiao Mansion is worthy of being Princess Chun's maiden home, the house is big, the courtyard is big, and such a large library pavilion has been built, even the Chenwang Mansion has no special place to store books, only in the Yangxin Pavilion and Cuizhuju set up a study.
Gu Yue didn't know that the Xiao family was the richest man in Fengcheng before Princess Chun, and there was not much of anything, but the most silver. Later, there was a princess Chun, and she became a famous family, and now she can overlook the entire Fengcheng.
There were two little servants guarding the door of the library pavilion, and when they saw them coming, they quickly opened the door of the library pavilion.
"You go and get some snacks and fruits, come in and entertain the guests......" Xiao Ming commanded.
"Young Master Xiao, this library of your house is really big, there must be a lot of books, right?" Gu Yue walked in and took a look, all the shelves that caught his eye were bookshelves, each one was as thick as a brick, even a rough estimate, there were thousands of volumes.
"There are a lot of books here that have been handed down by the ancestors, our Xiao family has not produced a champion, but it is a scholarly family, each generation of ancestors is very hard to do learning, hoping to embark on a career, I don't know if it is a trick of fate, no ancestor has entered the career, but it is a ...... of generations of business."
Xiao Ming's face turned slightly red, a little ashamed.
Gu Yue understands that in the feudal era, the status of businessmen was much lower than that of officials, and the so-called glory of the ancestors is not how much silver you make, but how big an official your family has......
The Xiao family has always been in business, so naturally there is no shortage of silver, so they want their children and grandchildren to enter the official career and glorify their ancestors......
"Young Master Xiao, isn't it easy for you to enter the career in the future? King Chun's words can be done...... "Gu Yue saw that this Xiao Ming was a good young man, and he couldn't see a trace of exaggeration in him.
"It's easy for my brother-in-law to help, but my father said that I can't let people poke the backbone of our Xiao family, let alone let people say that my brother-in-law is favoritism behind my back, and I have to let me participate in the imperial examination after entering the official career openly, so my father collected some classics all over the country and put them in the library pavilion, and over time, there are more and more books in this library pavilion, however, I also agree with my father's opinion, if I enter the career by nepotism, I will feel that I have a stain on my body even if I am a big official in the future......"
This Xiao family is all clear and has backbone......
"Yan'er, do you think I'm right?"
"Yes, you said it very well...... In fact, Sun Yanran didn't even hear what Xiao Ming and Gu Yue were talking about clearly, and she kept thinking about going to the lobby to find Tuoba Lin.
"Young Master Xiao, where is the portrait that Sister Jing said? I'll take a look......" She hoped that after seeing the portrait quickly, she would find an excuse to slip away......
"The portrait is upstairs, I'll go get it, by the way, Yan'er, I have written a few poems recently, do you want to advise?" Xiao Ming said softly, looking at Sun Yanran with some caution, as if he was afraid of upsetting this beauty.
"Young Master Xiao, to be honest, I don't know anything about poetry and songs, if you have wild history here, it's not bad to borrow two copies for me to see......"
Reading wild history is considered to be not a proper job, so learned people rarely read wild history......
Sun Yanran deliberately said this, fortunately, in front of Xiao Ming, the image was worse, the source of this marriage was because Xiao Ming never forgot it after seeing her, and the background of the two families was similar, so there were elders who worked hard to match them.
Until now, Sun Yanran didn't know where this Xiao Ming had seen her......
Anyway, when she has nothing to do, she likes to wander around the streets, and it is estimated that there are few people in the entire Fengcheng who don't know her as the governor's daughter......
"There are wild histories too, I sometimes read them, and it just so happens that there are a few wild histories upstairs that I think are good, so I gave them to Yan'er." Xiao Ming was not only not disappointed when he heard this, but he looked happy to meet his confidant......
"Miss Sun, this Young Master Xiao is really good, he is handsome, his personality seems to be very gentle, and his character should be good......" Gu Yue couldn't help but joke when he saw Xiao Ming go up to the attic.
"Sister Gu, you know how to make fun of me, no matter how good Young Master Xiao is, what's the matter with me?" Sun Yanran was anxious and dry, and she didn't know how to explain it......
"Yo, I'm still ashamed, Young Master Xiao is sincere to you, if he hears your words, he will definitely be heartbroken......" Gu Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
Sun Yanran's thoughts, she naturally understood, as long as a woman saw a superb man like Tuobalin, no matter how good and perfect a man was, she couldn't tolerate it in her heart.
No matter how good Xiao Ming is, there is still a distance between him and Tuoba Lin, and Xiao Ming is a big gap in terms of experience......
"Sister Gu, if you say it again, I will ignore you......" Sun Yanran had already turned sideways, with a shy face.
The bright sunlight outside the paper window shone in, sprinkled on Sun Yanran's face, the red fluttering face looked more and more coquettish, the eyelashes flickered like wings, and the eyes were full of shyness......
"Okay, I won't talk about it, I know your daughter's thoughts, you already have someone in your heart......"
Seeing Gu Yue say what she was thinking, Sun Yanran's cheeks felt as if they were burned by fire......
