When the woman left, Rui Xue didn't really enter her shop to sit, but circled around the shop, and found that the back was also very large, and it was estimated that the shop would occupy more than 300 square meters of ground.

"What did this shop do before?" Rui Xue asked the old shopkeeper next to him.

"It seems that it used to be a bookstore, isn't it an academy over there, and the shops on this street are basically linked to this aspect." The old shopkeeper said.

"Oh, the library, it is said that there is a academy here, so it shouldn't be closed, how can you think about selling it, and such a big place is not cheap, it is estimated that it is difficult to sell." Ruixue Road.

"I don't know very much about that." The old shopkeeper shook his head, the little young master only said that there was a shop for sale here, and it used to be a bookstore, but he didn't say anything else, it is estimated that he should have learned about it by accident, and he himself didn't know about it.

Shen Fengnian had to check the whereabouts of Hongxiu during this time, and he had to be busy arranging those who were brought outside the city to arrange things for them, which was indeed very busy.

He also heard that Rui Xue was looking for a shop and casually asked his subordinates, but someone said that there seemed to be a big shop for sale here, and then he told the old shopkeeper.

Originally, he wanted to tell Rui Xue in person, but this time he was busy, and the second was, cough, since the last time Rui Xue said that he preferred to see beautiful faces, he didn't want her to see a face with a mask now, for fear of being disliked.

When the three of them had walked around, and then stood in front of the shop and talked, the woman who had gone to call for someone came over with an old man who was nearly sixty years old.

"Are you going to buy this shop?" The old man looked at the old shopkeeper and said, obviously thinking that he was the one who was in charge.

"Yes, old man, I don't know your surname, can you open the door and let us take a look inside." Ruixue nodded.

"Huh... Oh, yes. The contemptible surname is Chen, you can call me Chen Lao. The old man didn't expect it to be Rui Xue who answered, he was stunned for a moment, squinted at Rui Xue, and then nodded and said yes.

The door opened, and Ruixue walked in to see that the entire place on the first floor was empty, except for a dozen or so large pillars supporting the floor. I went up the stairs to the second floor, where there were rooms one by one, each with a table, chairs, benches, and a small bed.

"I heard that your place used to be a library, why does this place look like an inn?" Rui Xue asked the old man in surprise.

"Hehe, it's your first time here, this is indeed a bookstore before, the lower floor used to be full of books, occasionally there will be some poetry competitions, and the upper rooms are a place for those students who take the government exam to read books and rest. If it's not time for the exam, the students of the academy sometimes come here to read and rest. The old man explained.

"Oh, that's a good idea, why don't you close the door and don't do it." Rui Xue nodded, this idea is not bad, it should not be impossible to do it and close the door.

"Hey, since the Literati Hall opened, I don't have much business here, and those students from rich families prefer to go there. And the children of poor families who are really willing to read books seriously, where are they willing to spend this money. The old man sighed.

"Oh." Rui Xue nodded, understood, of course, the son of a rich family is to call friends to have fun together, who is willing to stay in one place to read. And it is not easy for those poor children who have no money to study, where is there still that spare money to live outside.
