Chapter 005: Su Yu and Feng Juan
Chang Gung Bookstore is located in the southeast corner of Evian Town, and has a long-term cooperative relationship with Baiyu Academy. The pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books, and miscellaneous items of Baiyu Academy were all purchased from Chang Gung Bookstore.
Lu Xiang'an, the owner of Chang Gung Bookstore, is honest and honest, and has not blushed once in the past ten years of cooperation with the academy.
Chang Gung Bookstore is also an old store for many years, and it used to print, publish, and sell books. Over the years, the store has doubled in size and started other grocery businesses.
Su Yu often goes to Chang Gung Bookstore to order for the academy, and he is also familiar with Boss Lu. He didn't know why his mother had to accompany him to the bookstore this time.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Chang Gung Bookstore. As soon as Su Zixuan and Su Yu got out of the car, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came out of the bookstore. Dressed in a blue cloth robe, with two long braids hanging down on his shoulders, a round face, thick lips, and a plump body.
"Dean Su is here." The girl greeted with a smile, and her voice was like a silver bell, "Su Gongzi is also here." ”
"Feng Juan, is your father here?" Su Zixuan was very familiar with the girl in front of her.
The wife of the bookstore owner Lu Xiang'an died early, and he ran the bookstore single-handedly while pulling his daughter Fengjuan, and neither of them was delayed. The bookstore business has always been very good, and my daughter is also very educated.
In addition to their father and daughter, there are also men employed in the three shops. Boss Lu had to go out with his buddies to buy from time to time, and only Feng Juan was left to take care of it at that time.
The little girl has a lively personality, hard-working, able to both inside and out, intelligent, diligent and knowledgeable. After all, I grew up in a bookstore, and I know a lot of words. Compared with ordinary girls, they naturally have a little more aura.
"My dad is in there. Please come in, come, have a cup of tea first. Lu Fengjuan welcomed the two into the reception room of the bookstore, sat down in front of Luohan's bed, and poured two cups of tea with her hands and feet, "Dean, you sit down for a while, I'll call my father." ”
Feng Juan turned around and entered the courtyard.
"Xiaoyu, you see how capable Miss Fengjuan is. If you want to have half of her, your mother can also worry less about snacks. Su Zixuan took a sip of tea, picked up a book on the table and flipped it up.
"Parents think their children are smart, but our family always looks at their children unpleasantly." Su Yu was unhappy, didn't drink tea, and paced in the house with his hands behind his back.
"You're not unintelligent, but why aren't you ignorant?" Su Zixuan sighed, "What do you think of this girl Feng Juan?" ”
"She is very good, if someone marries Feng Juan, she will definitely be able to give birth to a big fat boy, and there is no problem in passing on the ancestry."
"What are you talking about?" Su Zixuan put down the book and wanted to teach a few lessons, when Boss Lu's voice came from outside the house.
"Dean Su is here, I'm slow." As soon as he finished speaking, a tall middle-aged man with a slender figure ran in small steps.
"Oh, Dean Su, what is the important thing for you to come. If you need to send someone to respond, I'll prepare the goods and send them to you. Boss Lu smiled, and his words made people feel comfortable.
"Boss Lu, the academy needs to order another batch of pen, ink and paper, and there are a few books I want you to purchase from Wuchang." Su Zixuan said.
"No problem, you just need to make a list and I promise to complete the task." Boss Lu picked up the teapot and prepared to add tea.
Lu Fengjuan took the teapot from her father's hand and added some tea to Su Zixuan: "Dean Su, you talk, I'll go to the store over there to take care of it." ”
"Go ahead, you can get busy, I'll talk to your father about something." Su Zixuan looked at his son again, "Xiaoyu, you go over there to see if Feng Juan needs help, go and help." ”
"Oh, good." Su Yu walked out of the living room and followed Feng Juan to the store. He flipped through the shelves, some of which were old and some of which were new.
The Wuchang Uprising overthrew the Qing Dynasty, the people's minds were emancipated, and the land of Jingchu, which was in the forefront of the revolution, was imbued with many revolutionary breaths.
Inadvertently, Su Yu glanced at Lu Fengjuan, who was sorting out the bookshelves. The slim female figure instantly reminded him of Leng Xueni, the girl who sang opera.
Although Lu Fengjuan is generous, she still seems a little restrained when she is alone with a teenager.
"What book is Su Gongzi reading?" Feng Juan asked.
"The Peony Pavilion."
"Why do you read that kind of book?"
"Have you read the book?"
"I don't read those books."
Lu Fengjuan blushed a little, she walked through the side door of the bookstore and walked to the grocery store. Looking back from afar, he could still see Su Yu holding a book and flipping through it.
Su Yu already knew the content of the book, he just thought this version of the illustrations was interesting, so he took a few more looks.
After a while, Su Zixuan came out of the reception room: "Xiaoyu, let's go." ”
Su Yu took the unfinished book and said to Lu Fengjuan: "I took this book and read it, you can record it in the account." ”
"Dean Su walks slowly, Master Su often comes." Boss Lu followed behind Su Zixuan, and he always had a smile on his face.
Su Zixuan and his son got into the car.
"Mom, what's wrong, the business hasn't been negotiated?" Su Yu said.
"This Boss Lu doesn't even know how to lift." Su Zixuan was a little angry, and the conversation with Boss Lu must have failed to achieve her goal.
"Does my mother want to merge Chang Gung Bookstore?" Su Yu asked.
"Alright, it's none of your business."
Su Zixuan didn't want to say any more, and Su Yu didn't bother to ask, but he vaguely guessed the purpose of his mother's visit.
……
Just when Su Zixuan's mother and son were going home in the carriage, in Chang Gung Bookstore, Boss Lu was also chatting with his daughter Fengjuan about the events of the day.
"Feng Juan, what do you think of Master Su?"
"How's that?"
"How's the character?"
"Brother son of a big family, what else can you do? However, he was quite honest. Lu Fengjuan said.
"If you are asked to marry into the Su family, are you willing?"
"What? Let me marry Su Yu? Lu Fengjuan couldn't believe her ears, "No, no, I don't like that oily young master." ”
"Oh, that's just right." Lu Xiang'an finally put away the smiling face of the shopkeeper in front of his family, "Dean Su personally came to propose to her son, so straightforward, only she can do it." If you put it in someone else's house, you must find a matchmaker to mention it first, just do it, and if you don't do it, it won't hurt your face. As soon as Dean Su opened his mouth to talk about this, he really confused me. ”
"Dad, you didn't promise, did you?"
"How dare I say yes?" Lu Xiang'an said, "Let's do some business, make a small fuss, ordinary people, how can we compare with the Baiyu Academy, which has been inherited for a hundred years?" The door is not right, the door is not right. I'm worried that if you really marry her, you won't be treated as a maid yet. Forget it, let's not climb the high branches, and find someone who suits us. ”
"Dad, you're such a smart person, no wonder business is doing so well." Feng Juan laughed out loud. She didn't want to marry Su Yu, she had her own ideas.
Of course, Boss Lu also has his own ideas.
