However, on this hot day, since they had already walked to the door, Yunyi still decided to go first to see the situation.

"Childe, I'm really sorry, the shop has closed."

As soon as I walked into the store, a gentle voice came from behind the counter.

"Closed?"

Yun Yi looked at the sky outside suspiciously, and found that it was not yet noon.

It's too early to close, right?

"Let Childe see and laugh!"

"Presumably, Childe has also seen the desertion in the neighborhood along the way."

"Even if the shop is always open, there is really no business."

"To tell you the truth, I've already found a good deal, and I'm ready to sell this store as soon as I have a suitable buyer."

When the shopkeeper of the study came out of the counter, Yun Yi realized that it was a young woman who spoke.

There was also a small head poking out from behind the woman, which looked like a little girl of six or seven years old.

The little girl wore two ponytails, and her big eyes were flickering up and down at Yunyi.

"That bothered."

Since this study is about to go out of business, Yunyi didn't say anything about the manuscript.

Putting the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" back in the bookcase, Yun Yi arched his hand towards the female shopkeeper, turned around and prepared to go out.

"Childe is here to sell manuscripts?"

When Yunyi was about to walk out of the store, the female shopkeeper opened her mouth again.

"That's true, but you're not ...... in this shop."

"I wonder if you can let me take a look?"

Yun Yi turned his head suspiciously, and before the words in his mouth were finished, the female shopkeeper asked again.

"Absolutely."

Although there were some doubts in his heart, Yunyi did not refuse.

Since the other party wants to see it, it doesn't hurt to let her take a look, and she can just rest and cool off in this store for a while.

Turning around and putting down the bookcase, Yun Yi took out the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" again and handed it over.

The female shopkeeper just asked casually out of curiosity, but she didn't expect Yunyi to be so easy to speak.

After being slightly stunned, he quickly took the manuscript and thanked him, and then looked down.

"Dream of Red Mansions/...... Cao Xueqin"

The sound of chanting softly reached Yun Yi's ears immediately.

Seeing that the female shopkeeper was so focused, Yun Yi was embarrassed to continue standing in front of her.

He took two steps back, then turned around and looked at the books on sale in the store.

Just didn't take a few steps, Yun Yi found that the books in this plum blossom cottage were obviously different from those of Jian Reading.

The simple reading room is mainly based on books such as imperial examinations, supplemented by miscellaneous books such as discourses.

And the books about the imperial examination here, and even the commonly used pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, are much less than those of the simple reading book.

On the contrary, some miscellaneous books such as books, travelogues, ghost gossip, and secrets of the previous dynasty are almost full of shelves.

Yun Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, finally understanding why this place was so deserted.

Compared with here, the business model of Jian Reading House with clear priorities is naturally more popular with readers.

I'm afraid that's why the original owner didn't come here!

After turning around, and was about to turn back, Yunyi saw the little girl, looking at him nervously.

"Little sister, how old are you this year?"

Seeing the little girl's timid appearance, Yun Yi squatted down and said hello with a smile.

"Duoduo...... Duoduo is six years old this year. ”

The little girl's big eyes flickered and stared at Yun Yi, seeing that he didn't drive herself, she was a lot bolder.

I saw her cautiously take two steps forward, and then she whispered to Chao Yunyi and said:

"Big brother, can you buy something in our store?"

Shopping?

Didn't the female shopkeeper just say that it was closed?

Yun Yi looked at the little girl suspiciously, and then asked softly:

"Yes! But you have to tell the big brother, why do you want me to buy something? ”

"Because...... Because if the big brother buys something, then we don't have to close the door. ”

"Dad died, my grandfather also died, and every time it closed, my mother would hug the flowers and cry."

"Duoduo doesn't want her mother to cry, big brother, can you help Duoduo? I beg you! ”

As the little girl spoke, tears began to fall down, and Yunyi felt distressed for a while.

"Okay, okay, little sister, don't cry, brother will buy things later, okay?"

"Really?"

The little girl looked at Yunyi with teary eyes, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Of course it's true, shall we pull the hook?"

"Uh-huh, retractor."

Looking at the two fingers hooked together, Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The sufferings of this world are really different, and they are not spared just because they are young!

I glanced up at the sky outside and saw that a long time had passed.

Since I still have to go to the market to buy goods, if I delay too long, I am afraid that I may not be able to go home after dark.

In this era when communication is basically based on roaring, it is impossible to notify Shen Youwei in advance.

If she goes back too late, the little girl will probably have to worry again.

After getting up and sorting out his thoughts, Yunyi took the little girl's hand and walked towards the counter.

"Shopkeeper, it's time for me to go back."

"Huh? Oh! I'm so sorry I was so engrossed that I forgot the time. ”

Hearing Yunyi's voice, the female shopkeeper first raised her head blankly.

After she came back to her senses, her face turned red and she quickly got up to apologize to Yunyi.

"It's okay, if you can, ask the shopkeeper to sell me a few pieces of paper."

Now that you've promised the little girl, let's buy some paper and go back!

Although I know that I can't really help the little girl by doing this, I can be regarded as fulfilling my promise within my ability!

"Did Childe buy paper to continue writing this "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

The female shopkeeper did not return the manuscript to Yun Yi, but asked him expectantly.

"Since the Ye Family Bookstore has already rejected this script, I don't plan to continue writing it."

Yunyi did not say his agreement with the little girl, but told the female shopkeeper about the actual situation.

"Rejection...... Refused? ”

"No way, it's absolutely impossible!"

"I've been running a study with my father since I was a child, and I've read most of the books and goblins in the store."

"But there has never been a book that can make me forget the time when I read it."

"Such an engaging and good book, how could the reviewer of the Ye Family Book Company refuse it?"

The female shopkeeper's voice was gentle, but her tone was very resolute, as if her authority had been violated.

"To tell you the truth, the person who rejected this book was not the reviewer of the Ye Family Bookstore, but Ye Liangchen, the son of the Ye family."

Seeing that the female shopkeeper was so excited, Yun Yi had to explain what happened with a wry smile.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

"If my father is still here, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he will try his best to buy the distribution rights of Childe's book."

After listening to Yunyi's narration, the female shopkeeper couldn't help sighing, as if this "Dream of Red Mansions" could not be released, which was a great loss.

"The shopkeeper has won the prize."

Of course, Yun Yi knew that "Dream of Red Mansions" was a good book, but now that Ye Liangchen had spoken, he would definitely not dare to continue to help himself if he wanted to come to Shopkeeper Tong.

"Childe doesn't have to be humble, you may not believe it."

"If this "Dream of Red Mansions" is willing to be handed over to our study for distribution, I can not only guarantee that this book will be a big seller, but also very confident that this plum blossom cottage will come back to life."

"It's a pity that my man and my father left too quickly, and after paying off the foreign debt, I have no money to buy Childe's book."

The female shopkeeper gently stroked the cover of the manuscript with her hand, as if she were caressing some rare treasure.

Hearing the female shopkeeper say this, Yun Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

This plum blossom thatched cottage is ready to be transferred, can it be brought back to life with just a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions"?
