Chapter 37

This small two-story wooden bookstore has a banyan tree in front of the door, which is lush and lush.

There are wooden steps in front of the door, and when you step on it, there will be a 'creaking' sound.

There are several pots of flowers on the door and window sills, and the red and green are blooming just right.

There is a large plaque hanging on the lintel of the main entrance of the bookshop, on which the words "Wanjuanlou" are vigorously written.

Tian Ruo hugged the sky and sank in, only to find that this small building is not as small as it looks from the outside, but surprisingly big.

There is a small counter on the left side of the entrance. Next to the counter is a staircase leading to the second floor. The rest of the floor is full of bookshelves. There are about 30 bookshelves. Each bookcase is marked with the category name of the book. The rows of books are neatly arranged, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are tens of thousands of books.

At this time, there were a few scattered people in the book shop. The lady proprietress was leaning on the counter and was fiddling with the small red clay stove on the counter. Tea is being made.

Hearing the footsteps of a guest coming to the door, he hurriedly said: "Welcome." Looking up, he saw that he was an acquaintance, so he greeted: "Miss Tian Ruo, good day!"

Tian Ruo simply put Tian Chen on the counter.

The proprietress looked at Tianchen's tender and tender appearance, and liked it in her heart, took out a small fruit from under the counter and handed it to Tianchen, and asked casually: "Such a cute little girl, how did Miss Tianruo abduct her? "

Tianchen saw that Tianruo nodded to him before taking the fruit, and said softly to the proprietress, "Thank you."

"She is my junior sister." Tian Ruo answered very naturally, "It was my master who abducted her."

The proprietress smiled and said, "So it's your junior sister, I thought it was..."

"What is it?" Tian Ruo asked indifferently.
"I thought it was you who gave birth to me!" The lady boss said surprisingly, and Tian Hui, who had just followed, twitched her eyebrows vigorously when she heard this.

"The last time I came here was more than ten days ago. I can't give birth to such a big child in such a short period of time." Tian Ruo spread his hands, showing an expression of indifference after being teased.

"Tianchen is not Fourth Sister's child." Tianchen also protested, waving his little hand pinching the fruit.

Tianhui sweated slowly in his heart, so it turns out that this is the way to make jokes between girls.

"Miss Jin, what good book do you have recently? Recommend it." Tian Hui quickly returned to the topic.

It turned out that her name was Mrs. Jin, Tianchen silently looked at the proprietress, who was also Mrs. Jin.

Miss Jin is about 25 or [-] years old, she is dressed in fresh green clothes, with graceful eyebrows, her black hair is loosely tied up with a green hairpin, and a few pearls and jade are hanging down, she has the taste of a girl from a Jiangnan water village.

"My place is full of good books, it depends on whether you know the goods or not." Jin Niang smiled lightly, "However, the rules in the book shop have changed."

Isn't the book store a place to buy and sell books?How can this rule be changed?

"Appreciate further details."

"In addition to the ability to buy books in the past, the regulation of renting books has been added.

You can become a member of our store by paying a deposit of ten taels of silver.Members have many preferential policies.For example:
[-]. One tael of silver per month, the books in the book shop can be read casually, but the books cannot be taken out of the book shop, and tea is provided for free in the book shop.

[-]. Three taels of silver per month. In addition to reading the books in the book shop, you can borrow five books at a time.

[-]. Five taels of silver per month. In addition to reading the books in the bookstore, you can borrow up to ten books at a time.

If you want to continue next month, you must pay the rent before NO.30 of the month.If the borrowed book is not returned and the lease is not renewed, the store will deduct it from the deposit.If the book is not damaged during the reading and borrowing period, the book will be damaged and compensated according to the price. "

Mrs. Jin smiled sweetly: "Everyone, do you understand? Do you want to become a member?"

Tianruo thought for a while, and then asked: "If I borrow this book first, and after reading it, I find it's good and want to buy it, is there a discount?"

Mrs. Jin thought to herself: If Miss Tianruo asks this way, she has the intention of becoming a member.With shrewdness in his eyes, he said quickly, "How about a [-]% discount?"

"[-]% off." Tian Ruo quickly countered the price.

"[-]% off." Lady Jin reluctantly said.

"Thirty percent off." Tian Ruo didn't budge.

"Miss Tian Ruo is merciful, I want to support the whole family!" Mrs. Jin screamed miserably, covering her face with her hands as if she was crying.

"Don't lie to me because I don't know, you are actually a lonely family, where is the whole family." Tian Ruo said very coldly: "Besides, the books you have read are old, and you still want to sell them at a [-]% discount. , What a profiteer!"

"Okay then! How many of you want to become a member?" Miss Jin let go of her hands covering her face, smiling like a flower, there was no teardrop on her face, Tianchen was dumbfounded by her superb acting skills, and Tianhui was speechless.

Women are indeed the most fickle animals.

"Three." Tian Ruo said.

Mrs. Jin took out the abacus on the side, and flicked the abacus with a 'slap', and the abacus made a 'squeak' sound, like green fingers fiddled with the date red abacus.

"Then which one should we choose? One tael? Three taels? Five taels?" Mrs. Jin looked at them expectantly.

Tianruo thinks about what he wrote, they can't go down the mountain often, so they should borrow more to take back to read, so...

"Five taels!" Tian Ruo said lightly.

"Then including the deposit, the total is 45 silver." Jin Niangzi smiled lightly, and the shape of silver seemed to appear in her eyes.

"Brother, give me the money." Tian Ruo shouted unexpectedly.

At the same time, Tianhui paid without hesitation, and the series of actions were coordinated with each other in time, quite familiar and naturally as if they had done it countless times.

Mrs. Jin took the 45 taels of silver that Tianhui took over, and she couldn't help but sigh: "There are so few men who are willing to spend money for women these days..."

Is this a compliment to senior brother?Tianchen raised his head and said proudly: "He is our eldest brother."

"Isn't my real brother?" Mrs. Jin's gaze swiveled between Tianhui and Tianruo, with a self-evident feeling.

Tianhui was suddenly embarrassed and turned his head to look away, but Tianruo blushed again, and said slightly angrily: "Hurry up and make your record, what are you talking about?"

“好了好了,我什么都不说了。”晋娘子嘻笑道,点到为止就好,再说下去她怕这姑娘会揍她。

After Mrs. Jin made some records, she gave each of them a small bamboo bookmark with numbers written on it.

"When exchanging and renting books, you must show this bamboo bookmark, and each time you rent a book, you must register with me." After submitting a series of things, Mrs. Jin finally announced: "You can go and choose books. "

Tianruo quickly took Tianchen to the second floor, she remembered that there were some children's books on the second floor.

Tianhui is in the corner of the first floor with a book of miscellaneous travel notes of characters.

After Tianruo picked out a book for Tianchen, such as common knowledge of literacy with pictures and texts, he took the biographies to read.

There is a reading area on the second floor, which is bright by the window, with elegant tables and chairs, and the three of them concentrate on reading with their books.

The dragonfly that Tianchen drew on the research book actually had the same thin transparent wings as hers...

Tianruo's emotions fluctuate because the characters in the book go through various difficulties, dangers and fatal crises...

What Tianhui looked at was the detailed description of various famous mountains and rivers in the wilderness. The beautiful and magnificent scenery inside makes people yearn for it physically and mentally. In a few years, when the juniors can support a piece of sky, then he wants to take a look around. , he thought Master would agree.

Mrs. Jin gently and slowly held the tray with three cups of tea on it, placed them next to the three of them, and then slowly retreated.

The rays of the setting sun shone in obliquely, dyeing the bookstore orange.

Tianchen rubbed his neck, which was sore from bowing his head for a long time, and suddenly raised his head to look at the sun outside...

"It's this hour!" Tian Chen hurriedly called out, "Brother, Fourth Sister."

Tianhui and Tianruo suddenly raised their heads, but they were a little inexplicable.

"Master said that we have to go back before dark." Tian Chen was in a hurry: "Let's go home quickly."

"Before you know it, it's already this time." Tianhui couldn't help patting his forehead, and immediately ordered: "Tianruo, quickly pack up your books, and let's go back right away."

With the help of Tianchen, the three of them packed up the books quickly, but they had to register with Mrs. Jin downstairs. After the registration was completed and the rented books were put into the everything bag, the sun had set and the sky turned dark blue. Faint stars appear.

Mountain rush.

"Come on, come on." Tianruo suddenly slowed down and sighed, "It's too late to hurry back now, and if it's late, what's the difference between being one hour late, two hours late, or three hours late? different?"

Tianhui nodded, and said in a serious manner: "It makes sense."

"Master is slightly angry, master is angry, or master is furious, which one do you choose?" Tian Chen asked back while crawling on Tianhui's back.

It was an hour late to go back, and the master was slightly angry.

It was two hours late to go back, and the master was angry.

When I returned three hours late, Master became very angry.

Which do you choose?
It's rare for Master to be even slightly angry, pitiful, angry and furious, would Master have such an expression?
Tianhui and Tianruo's necks felt cold, the night wind was a bit strong.

"Master won't know that we're going back late..." Tian Ruo said in an uncertain tone.

"If it was in the past, Master wouldn't find out that we went back late, because we live in different places, so it would be nice if someone didn't know who would sneak back. Now..." Tianhui smiled wryly: "Now the sky is sinking, and we Tianchen must be sent back to Chonghua Pavilion first."

"Maybe Master fell asleep when we sent Tianchen back!" Tian Ruo said optimistically.

"Master doesn't need to sleep." Tianchen told the truth flatly, but he didn't think the blow was common sense.

"How about sitting in meditation?" Tian Ruo said again: "When we sent Tianchen back, the master might have meditated early..."

"I hope so!" Tianhui said so, but thought in his heart: How is this possible?Unless the master is impersonated.

Tianhui said again: "If we are caught by Master when we send Tianchen back to Chonghua Pavilion, you will push all your mistakes on me..."

"How can this be done?" Tian Ruo shouted, "Tian Chen and I won't be so disrespectful, right? Tian Chen."

Tianchen nodded fiercely with his small face up: "We are good brothers and sisters, we are like brothers and sisters, we share the blessings, and if we make mistakes, we will be punished by the master."

"Actually, Tianchen and I went out this time. Master doesn't even know that senior brother is among us, why not..." Tianruo suggested: "Why don't you go back to your Qionghua Pavilion first, brother, and I will send Tianchen off Go to Chonghua Pavilion... Master punishes us one by one."

"Tianchen said just now that you have the same blessings and the same difficulties, and you want to leave me now." Tian Hui smiled lightly: "Besides, the law does not punish the public, and the three of us will be punished together. Master may be punished lightly." Son."
