The first feeling after Dianhua entered the door was that it was not like a library but a teahouse, and there were no bookshelves in the hall at all, but more than ten sets of tables and chairs with teapots and bowls.

Isn't this a library of books?

A guard at the door of the hall saw Dian Hua standing at the door with a golden token in his hand and looked puzzled, and he had seen many people who came to the library for the first time wondering what they were talking about, and he didn't need Dian Hua to speak, so he respectfully stepped forward and reminded: "Sir, the books are in the inner room and upstairs. This hall is a place for borrowers to read and drink tea. ”

He also thought that in the ancient library pavilion, there were books everywhere when you entered, and the borrowers needed to stand in front of the bookshelf to read or register and take them out! In Dianhua's impression, this is what is written in novels, and it is also played in film and television dramas.

Qi Yu, who walked down from upstairs with a bamboo slip in his hand, happened to hear the conversation between Dianhua and the guards, and stepped forward and said, "Dao Chief, we meet again." If the Taoist is coming to the library for the first time, I will make a guide for you, so that it will be easier to find the books you are looking for. ”

Thinking of the precautions that the guards at the gate of the compound told Dianhua when they inspected it, it was mentioned that in addition to the borrowers and guardians, other people such as attendants, maids, relatives and friends, etc., outsiders were not allowed to enter the library, and at most they could only wait outside the door of the library. So this guide is really the most suitable for Qi Yu.

Glancing at the bamboo slips in Qi Yu's hand, Dian Hua suddenly thought: By the way, this world is similar to the pre-Qin period of the earth, and there were no brushes and papers, only knives and pens and bamboo slips.

The books here are made up of volumes of bamboo slips.

Thinking that I was about to read the bamboo slips, Dianhua had an inexplicable sense of freshness and expectation. It seems that I have traveled through time and entered history, and a sense of the heaviness of history comes to my face.

"Then there is Lao Yu's son. ”

This Grand Prince of Qi is really a warm-hearted and good person.

Qi Yu led Dianhua as he walked and asked, "What type of books does the Taoist want to read?"

Dian Hua already had a draft in his heart, and replied without thinking: "Geography, history, feng shui, fortune telling, and martial arts cheats." ”

Qi Yu stopped, glanced at the golden token in Dian Hua's hand, and asked, "Dao Chief, you have a golden token, and you can borrow any book in the Library Pavilion." Are you borrowing professional books, not poetry travelogues or stories?"

Dian Hua nodded: "That's nature." ”

For the current Dianhua, the most important thing is detailed information, which can allow him to understand the world in more detail, rather than entertainment works that adjust life.

No matter how powerful the entertainment works here are, is there any entertainment before Dianhua crosses?

It was the era of "entertainment to death"!

After hearing the answer, Qi Yu regretfully changed direction, shook his head and said, "Then you don't have to go upstairs, the books that the Taoist chief is looking for are all in the room, and the Taoist chief will come with me." ”

It seems that Qi Yu thought that he liked those literary works as much as he did, but the result was different from what he imagined, so he felt regretful.

However, Qi Yu's etiquette is really good, although there are some regrets, it is still gentle and polite.

While leading the way in front, Qi Yu continued to explain in a gentle voice as before: "The upstairs of the Library Pavilion is preserved by the literary works that are widely circulated on the market, and the secret books and precious materials are preserved inside. ”

Dian Hua followed Qi Yu to the door of the inner room, where there were two guardians, motionless like a statue.

After Qi Yu saluted the guardian, he pointed to the two golden tokens on his waist and Dian Hua's hand and said, "We are going to go inside to borrow books, please let the elders go." ”

These guardians are not young, and calling an elder is worthy of the name.

Dianhua followed Qi Yu to salute the Guardian, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, just nodded. Then the Guardians on both sides pressed a trap behind them, opening the bronze door behind them.

Upon entering the bronze door, there was a completely sealed space, where two other Guardians stood guard at the doorway, with rolls of bamboo slips on the lattice on the bookshelves inside, and two Guardians sitting behind a table on the other side, on which were several bamboo slips scattered around.

Dian Hua looked at the room in front of him, which covered an area of only about 400 square meters, more than a dozen bookshelves, and a roll of bamboo slips stored on the shelves, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"This is the Qi Mansion with the richest collection of books in Jishui County? How much content can be written in a volume of bamboo slips, and how many volumes of bamboo slips can be written in it? The total number of words is definitely not a million, and it can't catch up with the number of words in a novel I used to read at the starting point!"

Qi Yu seemed to see the meaning in Dian Hua's eyes: "These are not the original books, just the introduction of the books. Each profile occupies only one bamboo slip, and several profiles with similar content are edited into one volume. There aren't many books in it.,It's actually just a table of contents.,There's a lot more text than this.,It's just that it's placed elsewhere.。 ”

It turned out that he had a preconceived misunderstanding and looked down on Qi Mansion. Dian Hua said slightly apologetically to Qi Yu, the eldest prince of Qi Mansion: "Thank you Yu Gongzi for solving the puzzle of the poor road." ”

Qi Yu smiled gently: "It's just a gesture." Then he continued: "Books with similar contents are stored together to form a single book, and articles with similar contents are stored on a shelf, and there are only a dozen bookshelves in it, and you should be able to find them quickly." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Yu picked up a bamboo slip from the bookshelf nearby, opened it and said, "Dao Chief, please take a look." ”

Dian Hua took this bamboo slip and opened it, and at first glance, it was about the history of Jishui County.

The first bamboo slip on the right is engraved: "Jishui County Chronicles", compiled by the government, recorded by the historians of the Jishui County government in the past dynasties. ”

The second bamboo slip is inscribed: "Jishui Summary", compiled by Qi Fu, excerpts from the records of Jishui County in other local county chronicles. ”

This volume is followed by similar bamboo slips, which include a brief introduction to the history of Jishui County.

If they are all catalogs, then this library is really worthy of being the family with the largest collection of books in Jishui County!

What a collection!

"If the Taoist wants to read a book, go to the desk and report the name and author of the book, and the guardian will bring you the text after registering it. You can only borrow one book at a time, and you can only borrow the next book if you return the borrowed one. ”

After explaining the precautions in a concerned and gentle tone, Qi Yu said embarrassedly: "I just got a good work in Xinyi, my heart is itching, I can't accompany him for a long time, and I still hope for Haihan." ”

Dian Hua hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted back: "I have been bothering Prince Yu for a long time, thank you." ”

"It's a gesture. Qi Yu said this and simply turned around and left.

Looking at Qi Yu's disappearing back, Dian Hua couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really everyone's son! ’
