First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 189
Under the banner of preparing a birthday gift for Mrs. Song, Du Rongzhi led the people out of the Duke's Mansion without any hindrance.

Regarding this birthday gift, Du Rongzhi actually already had some concerns in her mind, so the group went straight to Debaoxuan, and took the pattern of Wufu holding longevity noodles that she had carefully drawn long ago to the best craftsmen inside, and discussed it with them in detail After finding out the details, after everything was agreed upon, Du Rongzhi chose a few more hairpins, and then brought people out.

Debaoxuan is located in the busiest part of the capital, next to it are shops, teahouses, gambling houses, taverns... there are all kinds of things, and along the way, there are endless sounds of yelling, hawking, and bargaining.

Du Rongzhi chose a bookstore to kill time.

She and Song Zixun have very different interests, and most of them can't see each other when they read books—he loves those serious and difficult stereotypes, but she likes poetry travel notes, and yearns for a happy, unrestrained and happy life in books...

Du Rongzhi's fingertips slowly slid across the yellowed or brand-new pages of the book - the traffic outside was still heard in his ears, but his heart was rarely peaceful and beautiful, as if even those dirty people at home, All the bad things were slowly left behind in this quiet and serene atmosphere...

While lingering, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the upper shelf of the bookshelf. Among the neatly arranged economic and official career books, there was actually a copy of "Pei Weng's Travel Notes".

Du Rongzhi's eyes could not help but brighten up.

The author of this "Pei Weng's Travels" is no longer available. We only know that Pei Weng has traveled all his life, visited famous mountains and rivers, visited famous temples and ancient temples, and some of his footprints are even desolate and remote, inaccessible and barren places. The ups and downs make this book.It is known all over the world - "What the masters have not reached, and what the explorers have not known."

Du Rongzhi didn't expect to get such a reward from going out this time, so she hurriedly reached out to grab it when she was pleasantly surprised.

It's just that the book was placed a bit high, but she was born so petite, even if she stood on tiptoe, she still couldn't reach it.Du Rongzhi had no choice but to call Yuanyuan, and ordered softly, "Go and tell the shopkeeper that I want the book above, and ask him to call a buddy to help—"

Before she finished speaking, a young man shouted in her ear, "Master, I found it! It's here!" Immediately afterwards, he quickly pulled out the travel book from the bookshelf, and happily pointed it in a certain direction. shake.

The book shop was full of people who read and loved books, seeing him dancing and making loud noises suddenly, they couldn't help raising their heads from their books, looking at him with displeasure and frowning.

The man came to his senses at this time, scratching his head and laughing at everyone embarrassedly.Seeing this, the others didn't bother with him, and lowered their heads to continue reading.

The man was about to leave with the book, but was stopped by a pretty little girl first.

"Hey, you——" Yuan Yuan just started, recalling the situation just now, she hurriedly lowered her voice, "Do you know what comes first and then arrives? We obviously saw the book first, who allowed you to take it away?" ?” After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards him, and said crisply, “Come again.”

The young man dressed as a servant was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, "You are unreasonable... whoever said that you see it first is yours, so to speak, I have seen the whole bookshop , Am I still the boss here?"

"You—" Yuanyuan's temper is reckless, and she has been working beside Du Rongzhi at a young age. Usually, when others meet someone, she is not nice and flatters her "sister", when has she ever been so angry?Seeing that the boy was so unreasonable, his temper suddenly became angry, and he was about to go forward to continue his argument, when Du Rongzhi, who was standing by the bookshelf, shook his head slightly at her.

Yuanyuan curled her lips, although she was very unwilling in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey Du Rongzhi's intentions, so she had to get out of the way, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm still a big man, and I don't feel ashamed to snatch things from a woman... "

The boy was not a master who could swallow his anger, he immediately retorted, "Who do you say is not ashamed, it is clearly you—"

"Wen An, why are you making so much noise?" Suddenly someone asked calmly.

The voice was gentle and pleasant, and the person who was speaking had already walked gracefully from the light and shadow.

The smoky blue robe with a white jade belt, ape arms and wasp waist, is slender and straight, with a posture like pine and bamboo.

The dappled sunlight fell on his clear and handsome face, making his face as white as jade and his eyebrows as picturesque.

Du Rongzhi looked at him coldly, and couldn't help admiring secretly in her heart - she used to think that Song Zixun's appearance was the best among men, but now it seems that she is too ignorant...

Just as she was thinking silently, she saw that the young man who had snatched her book just now had already stepped forward, offering a treasure and said, "Master, the book you want."

The man took it and glanced at the cover, and asked softly, "Why did you argue with someone just now?"

Before Wen An could answer, he heard Yuan Yuan snorted coldly, turned around and walked back to Du Rongzhi's side.

Wen An glared behind her and made a grimace, and said aggrievedly, "They discovered this girl's book first, and the one who thought it was too small got ahead of them, and the one who was too young couldn't get angry for a while, so I just argued a few words..."

The man nodded slightly, followed his gaze, and saw a woman in a goose-yellow dress standing in front of the bookshelf, as if she was softly scolding the maid beside her.

The woman was wearing a veiled hat, but she couldn't see her appearance clearly, only her figure was thin, with a slim waist and a tight grip.

The man stepped forward and said in a gentle manner, "The girl is also looking for this book?"

Du Rongzhi was talking to Yuanyuan, she was slightly startled when she heard the words, nodded and said, "Yes...but this little brother is one step faster."

The man smiled and said, "There are not many women around me who like to read travel notes. If the girl likes it, let's go with the girl." He said generously and handed over the book in his hand.

Originally, it was a little unruly for her to lend Mrs. Song the excuse to choose a birthday gift today, and Pian Yuanyuan had another quarrel with others, making so much noise... If she accepts books from strange men again...

Thinking of the encounter with Zhou Zhonglin in Xiangyuexuan at the beginning of the year, and Song Zixun's uncertain face recently... Du Rongzhi felt that it was better not to cause trouble for herself.

She smiled, "A gentleman doesn't take what others like, and he dare not let the son cut off his love." After saying that, she politely blessed the man, and led Yuan Yuan and others past him.

The man was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was sure that he had been rejected. He couldn't help shaking his head amusedly, then turned around and told Wen An to pay the bill, and walked out by himself.

As soon as he went out, he saw the woman from before was about to get into the carriage surrounded by a group of maids and women.

A gust of wind blew by, and a corner of the tulle on the veiled hat was lifted, exposing the woman's small and delicate chin...

Du Rongzhi stretched out her hand to pull down the tulle, and bowed into the carriage.

Wen An came out of the bookstore, and saw his master standing at the door, staring into the distance thoughtfully, he couldn't help but leaned over curiously to have a look, "Master, what are you looking at?"

The man smiled lightly, "Go and find out, who's family member was that just now."
