Chapter 275: Xuan'er rests
Li Xuan'er is resting today.
It's been a hard time, and my mind has been spinning countless times every day. He felt a little tired, so today, she decided not to think about anything and take a good rest.
I didn't wake up until I slept a little later than usual.
Then, accompanied by the guards, he came to a bookshop selling books in the West Market of Bazhong City.
Li Xuan'er pouted and thought, women are just not as happy as men, this world is unfair.
If a man wants to relax, he can go to the Qinglou Goolan to see all kinds of beauties, listen to music and plays, how beautiful.
But what about women, where can they go? They can't go anywhere, they can't dress up as men and go to the Qinglou to see beautiful women.
Li Xuan'er thought about it and came to the bookstore on a whim. The bookstore in Bazhong City is not as good as Bianjing, there are many bookstores in the capital, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, chess, calligraphy and painting, there is everything, as long as you have money, you can buy any style.
But in Bazhong City, there is only one bookstore, and the total area is only more than half an acre.
Very small bookstore.
The guards could only stand outside the door, and if they all went in, they couldn't stand inside.
Li Xuan'er walked into the bookstore and casually flipped through the books on the counter.
The shopkeeper was shaking his head there and carrying something, he didn't look very old, he was probably still working hard to prepare for the scientific examination, and when he saw a guest coming, he didn't greet him warmly, and continued to shake his head there.
Li Xuan'er saw that there were few guests, and thought to herself that there were not many scholars in Shu, but it was no wonder that when he was in the capital, he had heard that the share of Shu in the annual scientific examination was very small, less than 12 out of 12.
Lotte's brother also mentioned it to him. Shu is rich, but he doesn't pay much attention to reading. The people of Shu seem to like pleasure since ancient times, never tired if they can enjoy, can eat, drink and have fun, and never worry about the country and the people.
Therefore, since ancient times, this land has been so seen through the red dust, or, to put it mildly, it is called not enterprising.
There are very few big people who come out of here for the country and the people, whether it is a peaceful and prosperous era or a chaotic world, out of the mountains and forests, save the people from fire and water, turn the tide in the fall, very few from Shu.
These are all told to her by Brother Lotte, and she doesn't dare to comment and is not qualified to judge like Brother Lotte.
She just watched quietly.
At this time, in this bookstore, Li Xuan'er still saw the four words of hard work from the shopkeeper.
Maybe there are not many people who read in Shudi, but it's not nothing, didn't the great poet Li Bai of the previous dynasty come out of Shudi?
Although Brother Lotte often says, so Li Bai is very chic and free, no matter if your country is in a predicament, you make me unhappy, I will quit the official and travel the world. We can't say that Li Taibai is not a figure who serves the country and the people, but in fact, Taibai Shixian is always classified as a character who seeks the country and does not seek his life.
Brother Lotte may be right, but Xuan'er doesn't dare to agree, and she really doesn't dare to agree, maybe Mr. Taibai has his unknown hardships.
Li Xuan'er chose the rare book Xunzi, Brother Lotte said, what Confucius Mengxun sage said, it is very worth seeing, even if there are many anachronistic things in it, but we learn it, it can also be used for self-cultivation and family. 33 Listen to the book
Then I bought a few more pens and a stack of familiar Xuan. Recently, I have been working on paper, so it has been very paper-consuming.
I chose another side with a low price, but it was expensive in a strangely shaped inkstone. Li Xuan'er held the inkstone in her hand, looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and when she asked, she only needed three coins of silver.
The shopkeeper raised his eyes and saw that such a big beauty couldn't help but take a few more looks, and then read again, and he was a little absent-minded. I shook my head hard, but I still couldn't read as deeply as before.
Li Xuan'er is used to being looked at, in the words of Brother Lotte, you are too beautiful, but any normal man, if you don't look at you a few times, he is abnormal.
So Li Xuan'er didn't pay attention to it, and walked to the shelves with small screens to watch.
The small screen is very exquisite, although the workmanship is not very good, but it is rare.
Li Xuan'er asked, "How did you sell this screen?"
The shopkeeper finally had a legitimate reason to look at the beauty, so he hurriedly put down the book and raised his eyes and said: "That two coins of silver for one, if the girl likes it, I will sell you for one dollar of silver." ”
"Well, thank you, shopkeeper. Li Xuan'er picked up the two screens that she had been optimistic about a long time ago, and asked the Feng leader next to her to put them away.
Seeing that the young shopkeeper was always peeking at his wife, the head of Feng couldn't help but turn sideways to block the shopkeeper's sight, and glared at the shopkeeper.
The young shopkeeper was a scholar, how to eat the old Jianghu glaring of the leader of the Feng, and hurriedly raised the book to cover his face, pretending to read the book seriously.
Li Xuan'er bought a lot of things, closed the mountain and paid for it, and Li Xuan'er left satisfied.
The shopkeeper waited for everyone to go away before he dared to look at Li Xuan'er's back, which was no longer clear.
Feng Leader said: "Dongjia, it's not me who said, this scholar, it's just restless, you didn't see the eyes of that person." ”
Li Xuan'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Do you dare to say this to Brother Lotte?"
Feng Shan was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said: "The owner is not a pure scholar, the owner is a civil and military person." ”
Li Xuan'er shook her head with a smile, and suddenly missed Brother Lotte a little, and her happiness in buying things was suddenly diluted by her thoughts, and she walked forward a little unhappily.
Feng Shan is a rough old man, and he doesn't know why his wife is suddenly a little unhappy, and he thinks that his words that look down on scholars make his wife unhappy.
Everyone came to the suburbs again, where the Marquis of Shu had come to have a beautiful place.
At this time, there is no one here, and I don't know if everyone is busy today so they don't have time to come, or if there are few people here in normal times.
Li Xuan'er sat down on the stone bench, looked around, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that the government here has repaired this place where the Marquis of Shu once settled is still very good, but it seems that no one wants to come and see it." ”
Feng Leader said: "The local people are not interested in this place, unless they want to find a quiet place to fall in love with couples here, usually even if they want to go outing, they will not come here, it is too bland." ”
Li Xuan'er was noncommittal, thinking to herself, isn't it good to be plain? Plain scenery is also scenery.
Brother Lotte and I like this kind of scenery, but we don't like crowded places. But he didn't want to say these words to Leader Feng, not to mention that even if he did, Leader Feng wouldn't understand, Leader Feng was meticulous and smart when doing things, but he was really a rough man in ordinary life. Therefore, Li Xuan'er really didn't want to talk about any other topics with Leader Feng except for official business.
