The Favoured Medical Princess
Chapter 377-Surprise
After having lunch in Zhuangzi, Nangong Yue smiled and asked, "Sister Fei, what other plans do you have in the afternoon? Your elder brother plans to take me to stroll around Luoyue City."
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up immediately, and could not wait to ask: "Sister-in-law, what special place do you want to go?" She introduced with great interest, "We have a lot to go in Luoyue City, sister-in-law, you should also return Haven't you been to the Mazu Temple? There is also a small street selling various dried flowers and essential oils in the market in the east of the city; there is a bookstore in the west of the city, there are many solitary books, some solitary books, the boss neither sells nor borrows , Only students can go to hand copy; there is also a musical instrument shop near the city center, the quality of the piano and flute made by the master is excellent..."
Xiao Fei said more and more excited, and felt fortunate that he had followed, otherwise, with his brother's temperament, he could take his sister-in-law to a good place, not just some restaurants, or rouge jewelry shops or something.
When she was not careful, she gave Xiao Yi a disgusted look. She almost didn't turn her face, but she could only bear it when she saw Nangong Yue's relish.
Xiao Fei finally finished, looking at Nangong Yue eagerly and asked, "How is Dasao? Where do you want to go today?"
Seeing her look was even more exciting than herself. Nangong Yue couldn’t help but smile in her eyes and said, “We’re going back to the palace before dark. The west of the city is close to this side, so I won’t go to the bookstore you’re talking about today. how is it?"
"Sister-in-law is right." Xiao Fei smiled, his dark eyes sparkling, "I may not have been to that bookstore for a long time, and I don't know what new books have been added there recently. Sister-in-law, before me I copied several solitary books in that shop and waited for the king's palace. I'll show you..."
The two of you talked about the book in a word, and Xiao Yi on the side could hardly intervene, thinking: This sister is really annoying!
Farewell to the veterans, a few veterans sent them out of Zhuangzi enthusiastically.
The carriage went into Luoyue City "Dada", and then after a few alleys, it stopped steadily.
Xiao Yi personally helped Nangong Yue to get off the carriage, and Xiao Fei also got off the car with her help.
This bookstore named "Zhulizhai" is located in the depths of the alley and is slightly remote, so there are not many guests in the bookstore.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei entered the bookstore hand in hand.
Xiao Fei glanced around scorchingly, and soon picked up a blue book, which was fascinating.
Nangong Yue estimated that Xiao Fei might have forgotten that he and Xiao Yi were here too, and it was a little funny in his heart, and took Xiao Yi to wander around casually.As Xiao Fei said, this bookstore does have a lot of solitary books, some of which are quite precious, but also have poetry collections, music scores, calligraphy posts...It can be said that although the sparrow is small, with all the internal organs, Nangong Yue has walked through several bookshelves Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a book named "Southern Materia Medica", so he picked it up and flipped through a few pages.
This book "Southern Materia Medica" records some unique plants in southern Xinjiang. The author of the book not only painted the plants in detail, but also painted their fruits and stamens, and introduced the plants in detail in text. Appearance and function, some of them are also unheard of Nangongyue even knowing the grass.
For Nangong Yue, this is really a pleasant surprise.
If you give it to your grandfather, the grandfather will be very happy!
Nangong Yue could almost imagine that her grandfather would definitely put it down when she got this book. Thinking, her mouth could not help but evoke a shallow smile.
Xiao Yi knew Nangong Yue's intention at first glance, and immediately ordered Bai Hui to call the boss.
The boss is more than fifty years old, with a simple blue straight hair, half-white hair, at first glance is a scholar.
But before Xiao Yi spoke up, the boss said apologetically: "Madam, this book is an isolated book and is not for sale."
Nangong Yue heard Xiao Fei said earlier that the book's solitary book was not for sale, but was not too disappointed. He said with a smile: "Boss, I heard that although the solitary book here is not for sale, you can copy it here."
The boss only saw at a glance that Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi were either rich or expensive, and they were still a little nervous.He was not afraid of encountering customers who had no money. The most moneyless is to keep the shop to help him copy books in exchange. However, it is because those who are up to noble officials have some troubles. Most of them do not allow others to say no to him, and use their power to deceive others. He is just a small business that makes a living. If the other party insists on buying and selling, he is helpless.
Now listening to Nangong Yue's tone, I know that the other party is a reasonable person, and the boss let go of my heart, saying: "This lady, I can indeed transcribe books for guests here, only earn a little pen fee, and also allow guests to transcribe here. "Say, the boss is embarrassed. "It's just that this "Southern Materia Medica" not only has text, but also pictures, and the text is very transcribed, but those pictures are a bit troublesome. The people here are afraid that they can't draw." The question is how can someone who has the ability to paint earn a little pen fee.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, this book "Nanjiang Materia Medica" is so detailed and vivid, and at a glance, she knows that the person who wrote the book is quite good, and she did not expect to find someone to help...
"Sister-in-law!" Xiao Fei didn't know when she heard the sound, and she volunteered to ask, "How about letting me draw a picture for you?" Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue with a look of expectation, thinking: Big Sister did it for her So much, finally let her find the opportunity to do something for the sister-in-law!
Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and smiled.Xiao Fei's painting skills naturally needless to say, acting and focusing, and she will help herself to paint, and she will do more with less!
"Sister Fei, then I won't be polite with you." Nangong Yue responded comfortably.
"Girl Xiao..." The boss looked at Xiao Fei unexpectedly, arched his hands, and said enthusiastically, "I haven't seen you for a long time!" Xiao Fei was a regular visitor here. Although the boss didn't know Xiao Fei's identity, he was faint. Guess her "Xiao" surname should have something to do with the King's Mansion in Zhennan. Xu is from the Xiao clan.And I'm afraid it's still close...
The boss sees too many people. When he was young, he also went out to meet the world. Xiao Fei's daily dress looked at Su Ya, but to see her temperament, which can be cultivated by ordinary people, the things used are more precious but not Zhang Yang knew that Xiao Fei's family had some foundation.
Xiao Fei nodded slightly at the boss, it was a gift: "Boss, it has been half a year. I went to Wangdu last year, and I just returned..."
The Xiao family who just came back recently... There seems to be something flashing in the boss's mind, and can't help but glance at Xiao Yi.This young man's appearance is really outstanding, I heard that "the one" in Wangfu is like this...
How is it possible! The boss laughed in his heart, how could such a big man come to his little bookstore.
"Miss Xiao," the boss asked, arching his hands, "How about I arrange the room you usually use for you?"
Listening to this tone, Xiao Fei is obviously a frequent visitor to copy books here.
Xiao Yi didn't know what to do with a good expression, this younger sister is really an outright nerd!
The boss personally led them to an elegant compartment and provided pen, ink, paper, ink and tea snacks.
As a result, the three of them were busy inside. Xiao Yi was responsible for transcribing the text, while Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were responsible for drawing pictures.
The three of them have been busy for nearly two hours, but they have only completed a third of their work in less than a third. Nangong Yue is very satisfied with this progress.
She looked outside and the sun had started to go west. She said, "Ai, Sister Fei, come here today. This book is not in a hurry at this time, we will continue to copy when we are free."
Xiao Yi and Xiao Fei naturally had no objections, so the three quickly left Zhulizhai.
Helping Nangong Yue to get in the carriage, Xiao Yi rode with him and went all the way to the direction of the palace.And just after passing a busy street, suddenly a surprise sound came from diagonally opposite:
"Brother! You are the big brother, right?"
Xiao Yile lived on the reins, and after looking at it soundly, he saw a young man in a golden robe striding out from the opposite Tayun Restaurant, and saw him in his twenties, obviously more than Xiao Yi He was a few years old, but he was calling Brother Xiao Yi aloud.
This strange situation attracted many curious eyes on the street.
Xiao Yi frowned, overlapping the person in front of him with someone in his memory, and said, "Xiaofanzi?!"
"Xiaofanzi" frowned, but only nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, it's me!"
Of course, Xiao Fanzi has a name and a surname. His surname Yu and Xiufan are the four sons of the general's palace.
His voice just fell, followed by a few young Chinese children who walked out of the restaurant, and said with a mouthful:
"Big Brother, really Big Brother!"
"Brother, I heard that you came back yesterday, but I didn't expect to meet you here by coincidence today!"
"Go walk, brother, we invite you to drink!"
"I still have bright eyes. I just recognized the elder brother in the seat on the second floor."
"..."
When meeting long-time old friends, Xiao Yi was in a good mood, as if their sparrow-like voices were less noisy.
He had a slight hook in his mouth. He had planned to ask them to drink together next time. He listened to Nangong Yue's soft voice from the carriage: "Ai, you go. Sister Fei and I will return to the house first."
Now that Nangong Yue said so, Xiao Yi responded with a smile, and instructed the coachman and the accompanying guard to go to the restaurant diagonally across from the horse.
The carriage carried Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei and set foot on their return journey, leaving only the bamboo beside Xiao Yi.
After Xiao Yi got off the horse, Xiao Er of the restaurant immediately took the horse for him. A group of elder brothers surrounded Xiao Yi into the Yunyun Restaurant like stars.Xiao Yi was about to go up the stairs, suddenly thought of something, stopped the footsteps: "Xiao Fanzi, I will call someone to drink the bar together."
"Good!" Yu Xiufan is also a hilarious character, plus Xiao Yi means, naturally busy busy, "This is of course the more people, the more lively!"
Several others also echoed, attracting the attention of many wine drinkers in the restaurant.
Not to mention Xiao Yi, these elder brothers are all well-known characters in Luoyue City, and they often patronize this restaurant.Soon, some people recognized that there were four sons in the General's Mansion, five sons in the family of Lieutenant General Liu, and two sons in the family of Huang Changshi... all of them were all famous names of Luoyue City.
Seeing all these arrogant sons in the ordinary weekdays actually surrounded a young son who was described as beautiful, attentive and thoughtful like his little servant.
Who is this young boy? Many people are secretly speculating.
"Bamboo," Xiao Yi waved at the bamboo and commanded, "You go to General Tian's palace and call Xiaohezi to drink with us."
"Yes, son." Zhu Zhu ordered to leave the restaurant.
When all the sons heard the name "Xiaohezi", they suddenly understood the identity of the other party, and they all felt a sense of sympathy.
This must be the younger brother that the new brother has just received in Wangdu!
It must be like this!
There are also a few sons who think more. The son of Fu Sangong Fu Yonghe who was in the palace of Yongchang in Yongyang the previous year had come to South Xinjiang with Xiao Yi.
They looked at each other, and the atmosphere became more active, and Xiao Yi swarmed upstairs with laughter.
Yu Xiufan had originally packed a seat on the second floor, and he had eaten only the leftovers and cold slag. Of course, he could not be wronged. Xiao Yi ordered Xiao Er to prepare a bigger seat and generously. Let Xiaoer serve another table of dishes and add ten bottles of fine wine.
