Jiaochu

Chapter 235 Reading
On this day, Shang Shufang has a holiday.

A carriage drove out of the palace and headed towards Linlang Pavilion.

There were four people sitting in the carriage, and the atmosphere was a bit quiet.

Ye Xingye turned his head and looked out the car window for a while, looked at Ye Lingxi sitting next to him, glanced at Xiao Yun opposite him, and then glanced at Ye Lingjue who was in front of him with his eyes closed and concentrating. He opened his mouth and wanted to chat casually. Before he could say anything, he closed his mouth again, really not knowing what topic to talk about.

No one spoke in the carriage, and Ye Xingye and Xiao Yun weren't very familiar with each other. Fortunately, there was the little royal girl Ye Lingxi here, so the atmosphere wasn't too awkward.

Suddenly, Ye Xingye's eyes lit up, he patted the person next to him, and pointed in a direction, as if he had discovered something strange.When Ye Lingxi turned around and looked over, he saw a familiar figure entering the Zixue Pavilion in front of him.

But it's nothing unusual, after all, the other party often talks about beauties.

When the carriage passed by Zixue Pavilion, she looked at the guests coming in and out of the door, most of them were young men. Then she looked up at the girl who was leaning on the railing upstairs and slowly shaking her fan. Her face was half hidden and her figure was graceful. , all are beauties.

"Lingxi, what kind of girl do you think Brother Shen likes?" Ye Xingye gossiped in a low voice.She thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "She must be as beautiful as a fairy, even more beautiful than the fairies in the sky." Ye Xing ambitiously wanted to be more beautiful than the fairies in the sky, so what would she look like? …

After the carriage stopped outside the door of Linlang Pavilion, the four of them got off the carriage and walked into the building.

The first time he came, Ye Lingxi was attracted by the golden lotus platform in the center of the lobby. There was a pool of clear water around the round platform, and the golden lotuses were shining brilliantly under the interplay of lights and water. There was the sound of gurgling water. Surrounding the round platform, it is very gentle and pleasant.

There are not many guests in the building. They all seem to be literati, sitting alone at a table quietly drinking tea, or having tea and discussing Taoism with friends.

A waiter came over and asked whether the four of them should sit downstairs or upstairs. Ye Lingjue asked Ye Lingxi what kind of books he wanted to read. The waiter cleverly introduced the collection of books in each room on the second floor, ranging from astronomy and geography to astronomy and geography. Flowers and grasses cover a wide range of varieties.

Ye Lingxi saw that some rooms upstairs were open and some were closed. The waiter explained that there were guests reading in the closed rooms. After the guests inside came out, the next guest could go in and read.

Ye Xingye asked the clerk enthusiastically if he had any books about magic weapons. The clerk pointed to the second room on the right, but there was already someone inside. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He asked when the person would come out. The clerk replied that the The customer had arrived in the morning and would not leave until closing time, which made him even more disappointed.

Ye Lingxi pointed to an open room in front, and the waiter led the people upstairs.

Xiao Yun walked to the left. Ye Lingxi glanced over there and saw that the person was walking forward, as if he was going to the room at the end.

The waiter made a sign of invitation, and the three of them went in.Ye Lingxi originally expected to see rows of bookshelves, but there was not a single bookshelf inside. This unexpected contrast made the room appear unusually spacious, and she soon discovered the mystery.

"Where's the book? Why didn't you see it?" Ye Xingye asked curiously.

The clerk walked over and pushed the screen-like door on the left to one side, revealing neatly organized square boxes. He introduced the storytellers to the three of them and placed them in the boxes. He then walked over and pushed open the door on the right. It is also a neatly divided square box. The square boxes on both sides add up to hundreds of books.

There is pen, ink, paper and an inkstone on the desk by the window, and a thin booklet is placed next to the inkstone.

The clerk handed the book to Ye Lingxi, then closed the door and left.

The titles of the books are listed in thousand-character order on the booklet, accompanied by a short and concise annotation, which can be no longer than a cross or only two characters. The corresponding thousand-character text is also written on the square box, making it very convenient to search.

After Ye Xingye studied the square boxes with interest, he leaned over and looked at the titles of the books in the booklet. When he saw that they were all annotations such as piano scores, Xiao scores, and chess scores, his interest dropped by half, and he walked to the window and looked outside. After looking at it, I pushed the window with my hand and found that the window was sealed and could not be pushed.After taking a few steps, he walked over and opened a square box to look at it. After pushing it up, he opened the next square box... After repeating the pushing and pulling action for more than ten times, he sat on the stool boredly and looked at it. The ceiling seemed to be in a daze... When he came back to his senses and looked at the other two people, he found that the little princess was sitting behind the desk and reading a book seriously. His second brother propped his head on one hand and closed his eyes to relax. He seemed to be even more bored.

After a while, he walked softly to the desk and said quietly: "Lingxi, I'm going out for a walk. You and your second brother don't have to wait for me. I'll go back by myself later."

"Third brother, please come back early. Second brother and I will be waiting for you here." Ye Lingxi also warned quietly.

After a few seconds, the door opened quietly and closed quietly.

The cool breeze blew by, and the branches and leaves reflected on the window screen swayed gently, and the rustling of the leaves sounded particularly soft, as if it was a bit lazy.

After a while, the big eyes glanced aside at the man who was resting his head with one hand on one hand and his eyes closed. After a while, voices sounded in the room.

"Second brother, do you know why your father ignored your elder brother?" Ye Lingxi looked at the music score in front of him calmly, as if he was asking a very ordinary question.After waiting for two seconds and seeing no one speaking, she turned her head and glanced to the side again, and happened to meet another pair of eyes. Those peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a hint of teasing. She turned her head back as if nothing had happened. , continue reading the score.

"Why did Lingxi think of asking this?" Ye Lingjue said, holding his head with one hand.After waiting for two seconds, she said, "The eldest brother is the eldest son, and the father should pay more attention to the eldest brother." Ye Lingjue said, "It turns out that Lingxi is fond of the eldest brother." She pinched the corners of the book. , said, "The eldest brother is the eldest son, ranked in front of the second brother." Ye Lingjue said, "The eldest brother is indecisive and may not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility." She had an angry look on her face, and Ye Lingjue asked again, "Lingxi Don't you like my mother-in-law?" She was stunned for a moment. One second she suspected that she heard wrongly, and the next second she almost vomited. After calming down for a moment, she said, "The imperial concubine is very good to me. Brother, why do you ask that?" Ye Lingjue smiled lightly and said, "Just ask." She quietly turned her gaze and glanced at the smiling face, feeling as if that face was wearing a mask.
But why did the topic come to this...

Ye Lingjue picked up the teacup next to him and scratched it twice, then took a sip. After putting down the teacup, he continued to rest his head with one hand and close his eyes.
