"I heard Shang Fangyan say it, I haven't been there." Actually, she really wanted to check it out.

"There are many, many books in it, and the distant books have been collected for almost 300 years, and when I was a child, I would often follow my eldest brother to the library to read books. And it's a long time to stay. The eldest brother reads books very quickly, and can read several books in a morning or afternoon, and the books he is interested in will leave his lead notes. He Yashi noticed Chu Qiao's eagerness, so she said with a look of reminiscing about the good past, and the happiness and satisfaction on her face and eyes were self-evident.

Hearing He Yashi say this, Chu Qiao became more and more interested in the Shang family's library, which not only contained nearly three hundred years of ancient books, but also made her more interested in the library building carrying Shang Fangyan's childhood and past.

She. It's really hard to know what Shang Fangyan's past is like.

After all, it seems unfair that Shang Fangyan knows everything about her, and she knows too little and too little about him.

"Now that everyone is celebrating the New Year, there should be no one in the library." Just as Chu Qiao was thinking about it, He Yashi slowly walked away and asked Chu Qiao with a smile, "Shall we go to the library to have a look, I miss that place so much." ”

Chu Qiao looked at He Yashi. Unsurely, he asked, "Can you go to the library now?" ”

He Yashi nodded and said with a smile, "The library building is two hundred meters away from Zuoji behind the courtyard, I am not so weak, and I am completely fine." ”

……

Along the way, there were servants respectfully calling Chu Qiao "young lady", every time she met a maid, Xiao Yue and Xiao Min who followed behind Chu Qiao would send red envelopes to the maids, and although He Yashi's status as a monk had been decided, she was not qualified to send red envelopes to the people in the Shang family's old house, but only she knew how much she wanted those servants to treat her as respectfully as Chu Qiao, and then she also gave red envelopes to the maids.

Although he walked very slowly, because the distance was indeed not far, Chu Qiao came to the gate of the library building from He Yashi in less than ten minutes.

From the outside of the library building, this library building is just the most ordinary three-story ancient building in the Shang family's old mansion, and there is nothing special about it. It's just that the three big characters of "Library Building" are vigorous and powerful, and the pen is sharp, which is very awe-inspiring.

Chu Qiao pushed open the door of the library building and walked in, the library building was very quiet and quiet at this time, there were no servants guarding it, and no one else was there.

Inside, though, it's clean and spotless, with rows and rows of wooden bookshelves neatly filled with books. It was like the library of the ancient court seen on the TV screen, and it was magnificent, which shocked Chu Qiao.

She had only seen such a collection of books in the library of Columbia University.

"Isn't there anyone here?" Chu Qiao asked.

"Nowadays, most of the children of the Shang family have grown up overseas, and the adults are busy with the Shang family's family business, and they will only return to the old house to live in the old house for a few days on important days, so few people come to this library again, but someone will clean and tidy up every day, which looks popular." He explained.

Chu Qiao nodded, attracted by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but step in.

He Yashi's eyes shone slightly, and a narrow smile flashed in her eyes.

Seeing Chu Qiao enter the library building, Xiao Yue and Xiao Min behind her naturally followed.

"You two just wait outside, you don't have to follow up." Seeing that Xiao Yue and Xiao Min were going to follow up, He Yashi hurriedly stopped it.

"Young lady." Xiao Yue stopped and called Chu Qiao, Shang Fangyan had instructed Chu Qiao to follow if he left the courtyard, and Chu Qiao's figure must be within the sight of the two of them.

Chu Qiao heard the voice answer, looked at Xiao Yue and Xiao Min, and then looked at He Yashi, and she was about to open her mouth when she heard He Yashi explain again, "This is the rule of the Shang family, except for the cleaning maid, no other servant is allowed to enter the library building." ”

"Why?" Chu Qiao was puzzled.

He Yashi smiled, "There are a lot of authentic works of the ancients in the library, there are many treasures of the ancestors of the Shang family, and there are also records of genealogies and important events of the Shang family, and the ancestors of the Shang family are afraid that the servants will no longer know how to work hard after entering the library to steal things, so they have set up a rule that servants are not allowed to enter the library at will." ”

Chu Qiao nodded, in a place like the Shang family's old mansion that has been inherited for a hundred years, what He Yashi said is indeed very reasonable, since it is the rules of the Shang family, then Chu Qiao is naturally powerless to challenge, although Shang Fangyan is worried about her safety in the old mansion so that Xiao Yue and Xiao Min follow her, but now she and He Yashi are in this library, even if Shang Fangyan told her that He Yashi's mind is not pure, but now He Yashi is Shang Yu's fiancée, and she is pregnant with a child, is she still worried that He Yashi will do something to her at this time?

Slightly right, Chu Qiao looked at Xiao Yue and Xiao Min outside the gate and said, "Since there are rules, then you two can wait for me outside, I'll go in and take a look and come out, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Xiao Yue and Xiao Min glanced at each other, Chu Qiao's words were Shang Fangyan's words, and it was impossible for them not to listen.

"Okay, the young lady has something to call us, and we will wait for you at the door."

"Okay."

The corners of He Yashi's mouth twitched slightly, the essence of her eyes flashed, and then followed Chu Qiao into the library building.

......

Chu Qiao came to the large row of bookshelves, looking at the dazzling array of books in front of her and was full of shock, just as she wanted to reach out for the books, He Yashi's voice sounded again.

"Most of the books on the first floor are the genealogy and family records of the Shang family, and there are many treasures of those interesting books, most of which are on the third floor, when I was a child, my eldest brother and I also liked to go to the third floor the most, and the eldest brother on the third floor read almost every book."

Chu Qiao's hand stretched out in mid-air was withdrawn, and he naturally wanted to go to the third floor to have a look.

"Can we go to the third floor, then?"

He Yashi smiled elegantly, "Of course you can, let's go." ”

Along the stairs Chu Qiao and He Yashi came to the second floor together, Chu Qiao glanced at it, the second floor was the same as the first floor, there were rows of large wooden bookshelves, and the bookshelves were also full of bookcases.

Without stopping, they continued up to the third floor.

The third floor was really different, there were rows of large wooden bookshelves with many scrolls of calligraphy and paintings in addition to books, and Chu Qiao also saw several ink landscape paintings hanging on the wall at a glance.

Chu Qiao approached a landscape painting to watch, in fact, she didn't know how to appreciate ink landscape paintings, but just looking at the paper and ink color of this painting, Chu Qiao also knew that the painting in front of her had a history of hundreds of years, and then carefully looked at the payment on the side, it was actually a painting by the Ming Dynasty painter Sun Kehong.

Chu Qiao couldn't help but sigh again, like the works of the Ming Dynasty painters, the Shang family can hang them in this library building at will, and whether it is genuine or not, if a painting like this is put on the market for auction, it will definitely be worth a lot of money and will be robbed.

After looking at a few landscape paintings on one wall, Chu Qiao walked to the other side, and on the other side of the wall hung a picture of the four gentlemen, in addition to the paintings of ladies, ten thousand horses galloping, and lotus flowers.

Just seeing these albums, Chu Qiao had to sigh that the Shang family is indeed a rare family with a century-old inheritance, no wonder in this 21st century, a family with strict family rules like the Shang family can still be proud**, and it is intolerable to the world, but it controls the wealth that very few people can control.

He Yashi on the side looked at Chu Qiao's undisguised look of surprise and couldn't help but laugh secretly, even if she married Shang Fangyan Chu Qiao was just a vulgar woman who had never seen the world, she was really not suitable or worthy of living in a place like the Shang family's old mansion, and she was even less worthy of being Shang Fangyan's wife and the head of the entire Shang family.

After reading a few calligraphy and paintings, Chu Qiao came to the bookshelf and took down a book that had been slightly yellowed and bound with thread, it was a collection of poems by the Ming Dynasty poet Yang Shen, Yang Shen was not very famous in history, so Chu Qiao knew that there was only one poem about Yang Shen "Bright Moon Chapter", and when he opened it, there was indeed a note left by the lead characters, but the handwriting was already very faint, because the light was relatively dark, so Chu Qiao couldn't see clearly what the annotation on it was, But she could probably tell that the above annotation was left by Shang Fangyan.

I couldn't help but smile and began to look through it seriously. Estimated to be carried on the island.

He Yashi, who was standing at the window, pulled the corners of her mouth coldly, her eyes crossed the coldness that could make people Lingchi, but her eyes turned to the window and suddenly found two familiar figures, He Yashi frowned, and immediately looked at Chu Qiao and said, "Big brother and Ayu are coming to us, there should be something, let's go down first, let's come back another day." ”

"Is Shang Fangyan here?" Chu Qiao suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Yes, someone should have gone to greet you and your eldest brother again, let's hurry down." He Yashi said with a concerned smile.

Yes, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, she has to stay in their courtyard to receive the people who came to pay New Year's greetings to Shang Fangyan and her, she has been out for a while, and it seems that she has to go back in a hurry.

Chu Qiao smiled, put the poetry collection in his hand back on the bookshelf and replied, "Okay, let's go down." ”
