Section 33 The Library and Xiao Duxue
After that, Xiao Shenhe asked many things in the casual conversation with Shi Yi, and Shi Yi calmly coped with them.
Near noon, Xiao Shenhe prepared a banquet for Shi Yi, and on the banquet, all the characters who could be on the stage were present, the most eye-catching of which were Xiao Shenhe's three sons, Xiao Gong, Xiao Liang and Xiao Ren, Shi Yi smiled, Gong Liangren, the name of Xiao Shen is also neat, the eldest and the third Shi Yi have already met, I saw the second Xiao Liang at this banquet, and his person gave Shi Yi only one point, that is, low-key, different from Xiao Gong and Xiao Ren, Xiao Liang gave Shi Yi the feeling that it was low-key, if it wasn't for Xiao Shen Hehe's introduction, Shi Yi didn't expect that this person would be Xiao Guoshi's son.
During the banquet, the main thing is that Xiao Gong is enlivening the atmosphere, leading Shi Yi to get to know everyone, but the atmosphere is not warm, Shi Yi can roughly guess that the bandits he killed all the way south are full of blood, and Rong Liu's family has suffered heavy losses, which must have touched the interests of Rong Liu's upper class.
However, Shi Yi was also overly concerned, after all, the purpose of this trip to the Xiao family had almost been achieved, and his desperate hope now was to be able to enter the Xiao family's library to have a glimpse.
............
The unbearable banquet was finally over, Shi Yi couldn't wait to express to Xiao Shenhe that he wanted to go to the library to find Danfang now, Xiao Shenhe only thought that Shi Yi cared about the interests of the Zhao family, but he did not doubt him, so he ordered someone to take Shi Yi to the Xiao family library.
When Shi Yi arrived at the library, although he had expected it in his heart, he was still shocked by the capacity in it, taking the library building on Shicheng Mountain as an example, the capacity of the Xiao family's library was more than ten times that of him, and the collection of books was afraid that there were hundreds of thousands of volumes.
Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh when he looked at such a huge library building, it was worthy of being the only Xiuzhen family in Rong Liu, even if it was hit hard seventy years ago, but the heritage was still there.
But the next moment, Shi Yi began to have a headache, so many books, where should I start, I was originally scheduled for a month, but now it seems that even if Shi Yi is given a year, he will not want to go through it.
Fortunately, the servants were very considerate, and they brought the general catalogue of the books in the library building. However, Shi Yi looked at the catalogs that were piled up like a small mountain, and his scalp was still a little numb.
Shi Yi calmed down and tried to comfort himself, which was better than looking for a fly without a clue.
Immediately, Shi Yi picked up the catalog and prepared to start rummaging, his time was too tight, just in case he still planned to find it as soon as possible, and then withdraw as soon as possible.
At this moment, Shi Yi keenly noticed that someone was snooping, at first he thought that Xiao Shen was suspicious and sent someone to keep an eye on him, but he soon found out that it was not.
Although the person who came sneakily tried to cover up his whereabouts, he was very unprofessional, and Shi Yi soon discovered that this person was Xiao Duxue, who had met before.
Shi Yi recalled her before, glared at herself inexplicably, and couldn't help frowning. He flipped through the catalog in his hand and decided not to care about Xiao Duxue who was hiding on the side, he was short of time and could not afford to delay for a moment, since she wanted to hide, let her hide there.
Shi Yi immediately carefully flipped through the Xiao family's book catalog, and soon immersed himself in it, which lasted for an hour, until he was awakened by the movements of Miss Xiao family.
Maybe it was because she had been hiding for too long and lost her patience, or maybe she was tired from standing for too long, Xiao Duxue gave up her clumsy disguise and walked towards Shi Yi.
Seeing this, Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh, although this Rong Liu and Chu are next to each other, but the customs and customs are really completely different, and it is impossible for unmarried men and women who are not familiar with each other to meet, this kind of thing cannot happen in Chu State.
Shi Yi put down the book, turned his head to stare at Xiao Duxue who was walking towards him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Miss Xiao, what are you looking for?" ”
"Hmph, you wicked man, do you think I want to see you? When Xiao Duxue heard this, she said viciously.
"Oh, in that case, you can continue to hide by the flowerbed, I don't mind much. Shi Yi felt that this person was a little inexplicable, and he was also a little annoyed that he was suddenly disturbed.
"You, you are really the same as Sister Miao said, you are a complete villain. Xiao Duxue saw that Xingzang was punctured, and said to Shi Yi with a red face and some shame.
"Miss Xiao, we don't seem to know each other, what can I say clearly, I have limited time and don't want to play dumb riddles with you. Shi Yi said helplessly to Xiao Duxue.
"Then I'll say it straight, I hate you very much, although I don't know why my grandfather and uncle are courteous to you, but I know that you have killed countless Rong Liu nationals along the way from Chu State to Rong Liu, and there is even one of my sister's fiancés, they are just going out hunting, you wicked person who kills innocents indiscriminately. Hearing this, Xiao Duxue took a deep breath and said to Shi Yi.
"Oh, then what do you mean by coming this time, wanting to avenge your brother-in-law?" Shi Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
"I'm just a weak woman, so naturally I'm not your opponent, but today at the banquet, I saw that everyone didn't dare to tell the truth under the pressure of grandpa and uncle. I don't have so many concerns, and I want you to know that not everyone welcomes you. Xiao Duxue took a deep breath and said with the courage to die as if she was generous.
"Of course, I know that for most of the people in the upper echelons of Rong Liu, my arrival does not make them happy, and some even want to kill me, after all, I have delayed their fortune. The border between Rong Liu and Chu is a flat Gobi country, and there are more people than wild beasts. Shi Yi sneered when he heard this.
"What? You mean Sister Miao is lying to me? No way, you must be quibbling. Xiao Duxue said with some wavering.
"I, Zhao Lingzhou, have always adhered to the principle that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, this time I came to your Xiao family to have a mission, and I will only make enemies when I am full. As for what Rong Liu's upper echelons are hunting on the border, you should be able to find out easily, and it is better not to follow the crowd. Shi Yi found out that Xiao Duxue should have been fooled, so she would inevitably find trouble for herself in the future, Shi Yi explained rarely.
Xiao Duxue was a little unacceptable when she heard this, and she didn't argue with Shi Yi anymore, turned around and ran out of the library.
Shi Yi shook his head a little helplessly, and immersed himself in the mountains of catalogs again.
For the next three weeks, Shi Yi has been spent in the library, during which Xiao Duxue appeared again, but this time she came to apologize, and her attitude seemed very sincere, but it made Shi Yi a little embarrassed, in short, she was a good girl who was sensible.
These were all episodes, and the most gratifying thing for Shi Yi was that he finally found the pill of the Tyrannical Pill he had dreamed of in the mountains of books, and of course, there were other unexpected gains.
