Chapter 256: The Yellowed Flowers
Lao Luo is still roasting fire in the gatehouse of Dongyang Courtyard. Therefore, Shen Yun finished the errand and returned to Dongyang Courtyard with Fu Lei.
"Don't forget to come over early at noon. When he arrived at the door, Fu Lei gave another word of advice and went to work.
Lao Luo saw Shen Yun and hurriedly came out of the gatehouse: "Oh, Shen Ye, where did you change your cotton robe?"
The old stupid cotton robe is far inferior to the one on his body.
In the past, he often saw the stewards of Tiger Leap Hall outside. Which of them was not dressed in a beautiful wool dress, and how could they have ever dressed like this?
Could it be that this Tiger Leaping Hall is bullying and wants to give Shen Ye a dismount?
Thinking of this, a wave of anger rose in his heart - only five taels of silver a month is a living, and our Shen Ye is not uncommon!
Shen Yun said with a smile: "When the stewards here are on errands, they are all dressed like this. ”
Lao Luo thought about it carefully, and came in from the gate, but until now, he really didn't see anyone wearing a mink fur.
And so, the rising anger swished and dispersed. He scratched his head: "Master Shen, have you received an errand?"
Shen Yun nodded: "Lao Luo, for the past three days, I will live in the library as an errand boy." You go back first. ”
"Living in the Library?" Lao Luo was very surprised, and his first reaction was, "Where is your residence?" I'll go home right away and bring you a bed. ”
"No, I don't. Shen Yun waved his hand, "It's all arranged in the library." The covers and pads are all new and thick. I don't know if I'll be able to go back in three days, and you don't have to come and pick me up that day. ”
"Yes. Lao Luo listened to the order and drove the carriage away.
And Shen Yun returned to the library to do things.
At this moment, he watched below, and the doors of the first and second floors were open. In the corridors outside, a handyman wearing a green cotton jacket and cotton trousers was wiping a carved wooden railing.
In the corridor on the third floor, two handymen leaned on the railing with their hands in their hands and spoke. Seeing him, the two of them suddenly shrank in.
Shen Yun retracted his gaze and went straight up to the third floor from the wooden ladder on the left.
"I've seen Steward Shen. The two handymen heard the footsteps and ran to the top of the stairs to meet them.
Shen Yun nodded, walked to the green paint gate, took out the brass key from the treasure bag, and unlocked it.
Seeing the closed doors and windows, as well as the corridors, they are all bright. He thought it was the same. No, as soon as the door was pushed open, a puff of dust fell on the door frame.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, held his breath for the first time, and took a step back.
After the dust passed, he looked at it, couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: How many years has this not been cleaned!
Good fellow, it's really a big room in the dust!
The dust on those bookcases was about a fraction thick.
The two handymen saw it behind him, and they couldn't help it. The one on the left said: "Steward Shen, the third floor has always only cleaned the doors and windows, the corridors outside, and the floor. The nod on the right echoed: "The books in here are all old, and no one reads them." ”
When Shen Yun heard this, he looked around the house. Sure enough, there were only the six large wooden lattice windows, and the gate in front of them. and maroon wood floors with minimal ash accumulation.
According to his temperament, where can a room full of books be dusted? However, he still understands the principle of following the customs of the locals when he first arrives.
Yes, he turned around and assigned work to the two handymen. Point to the one on the left and let him take care of all the doors and windows. The floor and the outer corridor were assigned to the handyman on the right.
"Yes. The two of them responded happily.
Shen Yun finished his work and walked to a row of bookcases. He wondered what kind of "old" books were collected here that were so discarded and dusted here.
Carefully blowing the dust off a book, he saw the shabby blackened cover. When I took it out, only half of the cover was left with the words "Jade Sword Technique". This book should have been read over and over again. The corners of the book were not only rolled up, but also hairy. Look inside, there are mold spots, and several pages are incomplete.
Look at the moves above, it's an introductory sword book. Shen Yun suddenly understood: this layer was probably filled with some broken books.
He had learned basic swordsmanship in the Hongyun Martial Arts Pavilion, so he had no interest in this sword technique remnant at all, so he put it back in its place.
Take a closer look at the books around you. Sure enough, his guess was right.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation of "ouch" in the corner on the left. Immediately afterwards, there was a chaotic sound of "bang-la-la".
Shen Yun heard the sound and rushed over quickly.
Uh, two bookcases are down. The handyman who was in charge of cleaning the doors and windows sat in the pile of old books in a mess, sneezing vigorously from the dust raised.
Seeing Shen Yun, he hurriedly got up: "Right...... Ahh......h I'm sorry!"A handful of tears, a handful of snot, and dust, a face better than the big flower face on the stage.
Shen Yun waved the dust and said, "You go wash up first, and then do things." ”
"Yes. The handyman was released, and he covered his nose and ran out gratefully.
Shen Yun first lifted the two bookcases, and then, squatting down, moved the books scattered on the ground back into the bookcases.
Another handyman also rushed over when he heard the sound, and when he saw this, he hurriedly squatted down and quickly sorted out another bookcase.
The two worked together, and soon, the two bookcases were almost restored.
It's just that these books are so shabby. As a result of this fall, some of the books fell apart completely, spilling fragments all over the floor.
"The little one went to the hallway to get a broom. "The handyman flew out.
It was originally a scrap of books, so these scraps of pages could indeed only be thrown away as waste paper. It's just that Shen Yun has always cherished books, and looking at the scattered fragments, it hurts strangely. He couldn't help but squat down again, picking up and reading page by page.
It can only be said that the disciples of Tiger Leap Hall do not cherish books too much. The contents of these fragments are varied, some are illustrated boxing, some are travelogues, and some introduce weapons...... However, many pages are littered with graffiti. For example, in one boxing illustration, the villain is painted beyond recognition, and he can't bear to look at it directly, and in another travelogue, the blank space is full of foul words such as "bragging, grandpa doesn't believe it" and "if you don't blow, you'll die".
Shen Yun frowned in disgust. Suddenly, a yellowed piece of paper caught his eye.
It is not a fragment, it should be a disciple who borrowed a book and forgot to take it out.
And the reason why it caught Shen Yun's attention was because it said a line of silk hairpins: Shilipo, the first day of August, Yugoufang City.
Is Fang City the same existence as Shiqiaofang City? Shen Yun felt that his heart was pounding. He hurriedly put the flower note into the treasure bag, and then continued to pick up the scraps on the ground as if nothing had happened.
