Nongmen's Herbal Fragrance: The Space of Buddhist Doctors is Busy with Farming

Chapter 56
"Since we're done eating, let's go." Qin Shuyu said.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei nodded in response.

"Grandma, pay the bill." Mu Han raised his voice and shouted, "You will definitely be interested in the bookstore you are going to go to next."

"I believe in Brother Mu." Qin Lan said in a low voice.

"Come on, just give me two taels of silver." Grandma Zhang said with a smile.

"Please keep it safe." Qin Shuyu took out the broken silver and handed it to Grandma Zhang.

"Just right." Grandma Zhang said after taking the silver.

"Grandma, let's go first." Mu Han said with a smile.

"Remember to come back when you have time, Grandma will cook something delicious for you." Grandma Zhang said with a kind smile.

"Grandma, goodbye." Mu Xuefei got up and said goodbye with a smile.

"Okay, you go slowly." Grandma Zhang agreed with a smile.

The four walked out of the restaurant while Grandma Zhang gave them off warmly.

"I'll trouble my cousin to show us the way." Mu Xuefei joked with a smile.

"It's on me, you can rest assured to follow me." Mu Han replied with a smile.

Starting from the restaurant, it took about half an hour to arrive at the door of 'Youjian Bookstore'.

"The names of the places my cousin brought us to are also very interesting." Mu Xuefei said.

"Really? That means I have good eyesight." Mu Han happily scratched his head.

"Let's go in!" Qin Shuyu interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei replied with a smile.

The four of them walked into 'Youjian Bookstore'. Although it didn't have as many books as Suiyuan Bookstore, it still had a lot of books compared to ordinary bookstores. There were three rows and four floors of bookshelves in the east-west direction of the store.

"It's all a world of story books." Mu Han said happily, looking at the bookshelves full of books.

"Isn't it a guest looking for some books?" A young boy came out of the counter in a gentle manner and asked with a smile, "So it's Brother Mu! I don't know when he came back?"

"Long time no see, Brother Ouyang." Mu Hanying stepped forward and patted the boy on the shoulder and said happily.

"I don't know who these are?" the boy whom Mu Han called Ouyang brother asked curiously.

"This is my sister-in-law Qin Shuyu, this is my cousin, this is my sister-in-law's younger sister and the younger sister I just met." Mu Han introduced one by one.

"Brother Qin, hello girls." Ouyang saluted.

"Hi brother Ouyang." Qin Shuyu saluted.

"Hi, Mr. Ouyang." Mu Xuefei saluted.

"...Mr. Ouyang, hello." Qin Lan followed Mu Xuefei's example and saluted and said hello.

"Meeting is fate, how about we go to the Lantern Festival at night?" Ouyang warmly invited.

"Lantern Festival... I haven't been back for a long time, I have forgotten, sister-in-law, cousin, sister Lan'er, are you going to the Lantern Festival? At night, there will be river lanterns, riddles, and many other interesting places." Mu Han said excitedly.

"Shu Yu?" Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Shuyu expectantly.

"Brother." Qin Lan looked at her brother expectantly.

"Sister-in-law." Mu Han also joined in the fun and said.

"Then let's go." Qin Shuyu ignored Mu Han, looked at Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan and said gently.

"Brother Ouyang, let's go together later." Mu Han replied.

"Okay, what books are you looking for at the bookstore? I'll help you find them." Ouyang agreed.

"I was so busy reminiscing with you, I forgot." Mu Han said with some embarrassment.

"There are all kinds of scripts here, you can find what you want to read." Mu Han said to the three of them.

"Okay." After Mu Xuefei finished speaking, she led Qin Lan to look slowly along the bookshelf. Qin Shuyu nodded to the two of them and followed behind them.

"Brother Ouyang, please recommend some good-looking scripts for me. Since I left Yangcheng, I can only rely on old scripts to relieve my boredom." Mu Han said with a smile.

"I don't know you yet, come with me." Ouyang said with a smile.

"Okay." Mu Han happily followed.

"There are so many story books." Mu Xuefei looked at the bookshelves about officialdom, tragedy, and martial arts, and felt that the pastimes of ancient people were quite rich!
"I must learn to read well." Qin Lan looked at various scripts dazzledly.

"Lan'er, I'll give you some more homework from today on." Qin Shuyu listened to what Qin Lan said with relief.

"Ah?" Qin Lan looked at Qin Shuyu wanting to cry but without tears.

Mu Xuefei listened to the conversation between the two, and gave Qin Lan a sympathetic look.

Walking through the bookshelves all the way, Mu Xuefei also picked up a few interesting books, Qin Lan was a little bit greedy but could only read them after she could read.

"Cousin, sister-in-law, and sister Lan'er, have you chosen yet?" Mu Han said with a smile while holding a stack of scriptures in his arms.

"Cousin, why did you choose so many?" Mu Xuefei asked, staring at the thick stack of scriptures, dumbfounded.

"A lot? Not much! When I leave Yangcheng, I still have to rely on these pastimes!" Mu Han slapped the script with satisfaction.

"Cousin, as long as you're happy." Mu Xuefei shrugged and said.

"Huh? Why didn't Sister Lan'er pick out a few books?" Mu Han asked Qin Lan curiously.

"I'll read it after I can read." Qin Lan lowered her head and blushed embarrassedly.

"Sister Lan'er, you can use the script to learn how to read! This way you can learn quickly." Mu Han suggested.

"...Sister-in-law" Qin Lan tugged at Mu Xuefei's sleeve and whispered.

"Lan'er, how many books should I pick with you?" Mu Xuefei said looking at Qin Lan's heartbeat.

"Then please trouble sister-in-law." Qin Lan looked at Mu Xuefei gratefully.

"Shu Yu, why don't you wait here for a while? I'll accompany Lan'er to pick out some books." Mu Xuefei asked Qin Shuyu's opinion with a smile.

"Okay." Qin Shuyu nodded and said, "Lan'er, don't choose more, just choose two books."

"Understood, brother." Qin Lan replied with a smile.

"Cousin, then we will excuse you first." Mu Xuefei said.

"You guys go." Mu Han waved his hand and said.

"Brother Ouyang, can't you really choose a few more for me?" Mu Han put the books on the counter and looked at Ouyang in the counter pitifully and asked.

"How about you choose it yourself? I feel that you may not be interested in the others." Ouyang looked at Mu Han helplessly.

Watching the conversation between the two, Qin Shuyu strengthened his previous thoughts, such a childish person must not be with Lan'er.

"Not yet, you know my taste best." Mu Han shook his head and replied.

"When you come back next time, I'll help you pay attention to a few more books." Ouyang said, he understood Mu Han very well because he also had the same hobby.

"What a good brother!" Mu Han went to the counter and patted Ouyang on the shoulder.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to sit here too?" Mu Han sat at the counter and looked at Qin Shuyu and asked.

"No, thank you." Qin Shuyu shook his head and said.

"Brother Ouyang, why don't you also transfer to the academy where I study? My sister-in-law and I study in the same academy." Mu Han looked at Ouyang and asked.

"How about that academy? It shouldn't be as lively as Yangcheng, right?" Ouyang asked curiously.

"The academy's environment and teaching conditions are very good. Although the county is not as lively as Yangcheng, the local customs are also unique." Mu Han strongly recommended it.

"Tell me about it in detail." Ouyang asked with interest.

"Okay, listen to me... what do you think?" Mu Han stopped talking dryly.

"I'll think about it. By the way, when will you go back?" Ouyang asked. After all, the transfer cannot be decided in a day or two.

"I can stay for another ten days, you must give me an answer as soon as possible." Mu Han said.

Qin Shuyu listened to the conversation between the two without interest, thinking that it would be better to go to Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan, and said, "Let's talk first, I'll go and see why they haven't come yet?"

"Sister-in-law, you can go." Mu Han replied.

"Why didn't I hear you mention your cousin before?" Ouyang asked with interest.

"We played very well when we were young. When I grew up, I also went to other places to study, so I didn't get in touch with each other very much. This time, we met unexpectedly on the way back to Yangcheng." Mu Han said eloquently.

"Oh, tell me in detail." Ouyang asked curiously.

"Then listen to me and tell you carefully. On the car back to Yangcheng, because we got along very well all the way, I accidentally asked them the destination of Yangcheng. I didn't expect that it was my cousin who married far away. Do you think it's a coincidence?" Mu Han said happily.

"It's quite a coincidence, but didn't you meet your sister-in-law in the academy?" Ouyang asked curiously.

"I should have met him once or twice before, but we didn't talk to each other. Besides, I didn't know he married my cousin." Mu Han thought carefully and said.

"So that's the case, then what's the matter with your new sister?" Ouyang gave Mu Han an ambiguous look.

"I said it before! She is my cousin's sister-in-law." Mu Han looked at Ouyang with some doubts.

"Forget it, I don't know where you read all your words?" Ouyang said helplessly.

"What does it have to do with the script?" Mu Han became even more puzzled.

"I didn't say anything." Ouyang reluctantly denied.

"Forget it, I'll go see why they haven't come yet." Mu Han stood up and said.

"I'll go too." Ouyang got up and said.

"No need, we are here." Mu Xuefei said.

The three of them also came to the counter, and Ouyang and Mu Han sat back when they saw the three coming.

"How about I invite you to dinner later? Just treat it as a welcome." Ouyang said.

"Cousin, sister-in-law, what do you think?" Mu Han looked at the three of them and asked.

"Cousin, haven't we just had dinner?" Mu Xuefei replied.

"Yes, but I can still eat it." Mu Han scratched his head and said.

"Since you have already had dinner, how about I invite you to dinner later, and then we go to the Lantern Festival together?" Ouyang asked with a smile.

"Cousin, what do you think?" Mu Han looked directly at Mu Xuefei and asked, anyway, Qin Shuyu and Qin Lan listened to her.

"Shuyu, Lan'er, what do you think?" Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Shuyu and asked.

"I can do it." Qin Shuyu looked at Mu Xuefei gently and replied.

"I'll listen to my sister-in-law." Qin Lan said bluntly.

"Then cousin, you can decide for yourself." Mu Xuefei said, looking at Qin Lan with a smile.

"Then do what you said, brother Ouyang." Mu Han said briskly.

"That's good." Ouyang replied with a smile.

"It's still early for dinner, what should I do to pass the time?" Mu Han said somewhat.

"Are you going anywhere else?" Ouyang asked.

"I have no plans at the moment." Mu Han replied.

"Then just stay in the bookstore until dinner time. Anyway, there are so many books here for entertainment, and you can chat with me by the way." Ouyang said indifferently.

"Cousin, sister-in-law, sister Lan'er, what do you think?" Mu Han asked.

"Alright." Mu Xuefei replied.

"Anything is fine." Qin Shuyu said.

"Okay." Qin Lan said.

"Brother Ouyang, please help us settle the bill first." Mu Han patted the script and said.

"It's just a meeting gift for you." Ouyang shook his head and said with a smile.

"That's no good, one yard is worth one yard, and I'll just look at it for nothing in your store later." Mu Han declined in disapproval.

"Okay then, I'll make it cheaper for you." Ouyang said.

"You can have this." Mu Han said with a smile.

"Brother Mu, five liang of silver is fine for yours, and one liang of silver for Brother Qin." Ouyang glanced roughly and said.

"Okay." Mu Han took out a silver ingot and a broken silver and said to Ouyang.

"Just right." Ouyang said with a smile after collecting the money.

"Then let's continue the chat. Cousin, sister-in-law, and sister Lan'er, you are welcome. You can read the scriptures in the store as you like." Mu Han waved his hand generously and said.

"You can do whatever you want." Ouyang also said with a smile.

"Thank you." Qin Shuyu nodded.

"Lan'er, let's take a closer look at the bookshelves to see if there are any scripts we like?" Mu Xuefei suggested.

"Okay." Qin Lan said happily.

"Shuyu, what about you?" Mu Xuefei asked.

"I'll just wait for you here." Qin Shuyu said, he was really not interested in the conversation.

"Then let's go first." After Mu Xuefei finished speaking, she pulled Qin Lan to the bookshelf.

"Sister-in-law, since you won't go, let's sit and chat together." Mu Han invited by setting up an empty chair at the counter.

"Yes!" Ouyang also strongly invited.

"Alright." Qin Shuyu said as he walked into the counter and sat down on the chair.

Time slowly passed away in the world of the storybook and chatting, and it was Youshi in a blink of an eye.

"I didn't expect time to pass so fast, we should go to dinner." Ouyang said looking at the somewhat dim bookstore.

"Is it coming so soon?" Mu Han said with some unsatisfactory expression.

"I'll call them both." Qin Shuyu got up and said.

"It's already you hour." Ouyang said as he walked out of the bookstore and looked at the sky.

"It's been a long time since we chatted so happily. Brother Ouyang, you must transfer to another school." Mu Han walked to Ouyang and said.

"I want to think about it." Ouyang said with a smile, "Okay, let's go in."

"Okay." Mu Han replied.

The two walked into the bookstore, Qin Shuyu and the other three were already beside the counter.

"Let's go to dinner." Ouyang said.

"Okay, but where shall we eat?" Mu Han asked.

"It's better to go to the one we often go to." Ouyang suggested.

"It's okay, the food at my cousin, sister-in-law, and Lan'er's sister is also delicious." Mu Han looked at the three of them and said.

"Then let's go!" Qin Shuyu saw that Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan had no objections, and replied.

"Okay then, brother Ouyang, close the store quickly, and we'll leave right away." Mu Han urged.

"Okay." Ouyang said as he found the lock from the counter.

"Then hurry up, we have to go to the Lantern Festival after dinner." Mu Han urged again.

"What do you urge, it will be ready soon." Ouyang cleaned up the sundries on the counter.
