King’s House Kindergarten

It was almost noon when they arrived in the city of Xucheng.

Xucheng is far less prosperous than Beijing. Xiaowu, Xiaoqi and Taotao are all lying at the window and watching carefully, feeling that Xucheng is not the same as imagined...

Suisui is talking to Zhuoxin about border issues.

Ah Si had to look at Zhuo Yuan and Shen Yue without a single glance—they both deliberately didn't speak much, but they both paid attention to what the other said when they were talking to others, and if they noticed each other's eyes and looked over, Sometimes they look at each other, and sometimes they avoid them intentionally or unintentionally.

In short, on the way, the two of them are the ones who talk the least to each other.

Asi didn't make a sound.

Soon, Zhuo Ye found the dessert shop mentioned by the clerk in the inn.

It was noon and there were many people. After waiting for a while, the babies asked for a bowl of black sesame paste to drink.

Tao Tao liked it very much, and while drinking it, she said happily, "It's as good as the black sesame paste I drank last time in Beijing!"

Xiao Qi replied, "Tao Tao is talking about Aunt Chen's shop."

Earlier, when Hui's mother left Beijing, butler Tao asked Shen Yue to take care of Xiao Qi more. At that time, Shen Yue took Xiao Qi to visit Aunt Chen alone.

Aunt Chen gave Xiao Qi a lot of delicious food and encouraged him to be a brave man.

So Xiao Qi was deeply impressed by Aunt Chen's shop, and when Tao Tao said it, Xiao Qi could call out the name accurately.

Shen Yue smiled, "Yes, it's Aunt Chen's shop."

In the extracurricular activities of the trumpet last time, Shen Yue took them to Aunt Chen's shop to drink Laba porridge.

The children not only drank Laba porridge, but also tasted Aunt Chen's black sesame paste, and were impressed.

On the way from Beijing to Xucheng, Xiaowu and Suisui both mentioned that they missed the taste of black sesame paste. The practice of black sesame paste is a test of craftsmanship. It should be fragrant but not greasy, not fragrant and greasy, or greasy but not fragrant. , these are not the essence of black sesame paste. Aunt Chen's black sesame paste made the essence, so when they arrived in Xucheng, when they heard that the black sesame paste here was delicious, Xiao Wu and a few people couldn't help shouting. There is a reason for coming.

Speaking of Aunt Chen's black sesame paste, the babies miss them very much, and they talk about other foods in Aunt Chen's shop.

Shen Yue drank the children, talking and laughing, only Zhuo Yuan was alone with a gloomy face, drinking black sesame paste without speaking...

He was impressed by Aunt Chen, not because of her black sesame paste.

It's because this Aunt Chen has not only been matching her nephew and Shen Yue, she even said that he is... old! Lots of kids! Outdoor breeding! She also told Shen Yue not to covet his good looks, covet his figure, covet his status...

Zhuoyuan thinks more and more.

Just after the fire, I remembered that Aunt Chen asked Shen Yue if she had a sweetheart, and Shen Yue perfunctory said, yes, young talent...

Zhuo Yuan was stunned.

Young talent... Anyway, this word is definitely not used to describe him!

Although he knew that Shen Yue was perfunctory Aunt Chen, Zhuo Yuan had some inexplicable taste in his heart. Which young talent would bring him out to take a look?

While Zhuo Yuan was thinking wildly, Shen Yue happened to see that Ah Si hadn't had two sips, so she probably didn't like it very much, but she looked at the bookstore not far from the dessert shop.

"Do you want to go to the bookstore over there?" Shen Yue asked.

Ah Si was surprised, she didn't expect her to notice it too.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "I just want to go see it too, do you want to join us?"

Asi nodded.

"I'll take Ah Si to the bookstore over there." Shen Yue talked to Zhuo Yuan.

Zhuo Yuan was thinking about the "young talent", when Shen Yue suddenly spoke, he seemed guilty of being caught, and suddenly he took a mouthful of black sesame paste, and only had time to make a light hum.

Shen Yue got up and took Ah Si's hand to the bookstore on the side.

Behind him, guards and dark guards followed immediately.

The bookstore is just across the street from the next door. Shen Yue took Ah Si and quickly arrived in front of the bookstore. The shopkeeper of the bookstore looked at the two of them, paused slightly, and asked in a warm voice, "You two are here... "

Shen Yue is a girl, and A is in the fourth grade... They don't seem to be able to buy books here, so the shopkeeper will ask.

Shen Yue smiled, "Let's take a look."

The shopkeeper hesitated, "Girl, to be honest, our bookstore has just opened for business, and we only sell books for the time being, but don't lend them out. If the girl comes to borrow books, I'm afraid you'll have to wait..."

Just as Shen Yue was about to speak, there were footsteps coming downstairs from the second floor, and she gently said to the shopkeeper, "She can come."

The shopkeeper was surprised, "Master?"

Shen Yue's eyes were slightly stagnant, and then she was pleasantly surprised, Xu Li?

Xu Li smiled.

"When I went to the bookstore to return the book, I heard Uncle Liu talk about you in Xucheng, but I didn't expect to meet you in Xucheng..."

Ah Si was picking out books on the bookshelf on the second floor, while Shen Yue and Xu Li were talking together.

Being able to meet in Xucheng is a coincidence, but Xu Li said, "Xucheng is not big."

Shen Yue didn't get into it.

Shen Yueben also likes to read books, so the two of them paced and watched flowers.

"The bookstore here is also yours?" Shen Yue envied.

Xu Li gave a light "um".

Shen Yue was curious, "Why are you thinking of opening a bookstore in Xucheng?"

There are more than ten or twenty days' journey between Xucheng and Beijing.

Xu Li smiled and replied in a warm voice, "Xucheng is close to Yanhan, and after Yanhan annexed Beiyu, there will be a separate trade route leading to Qiangya and the Western Regions, and there will be a lot of books from there, so Open a bookstore in Xucheng to communicate with each other."

Shen Yue's impression of the surrounding countries is still only in the book. Like Xu Li, she can clearly understand the trade routes and nearby cities, and then choose the location to open the bookstore according to local conditions. She can't imagine that the world here is all in her eyes. It's not three-dimensional, and there are no tools to travel thousands of miles a day. All explorations depend on time and footwork...

Shen Yue smiled.

"Didn't you ask Liu Bo about the annotated version of "The Record of Qiangya" by Feng Yazi?" Xu Li led her forward, "I asked someone to find it."

Xu Li took the book from the shelf and handed it to her.

Shen Yue took it, turned two pages, and was overjoyed, "I can really find it! I thought it was gone..."

Xu Li said warmly, "Shen Yue, this is the only one."

Shen Yue raised her eyes to look at him, the meaning of the lone book is that you can find it, but it is more difficult than not being able to find it...

***

Shen Yue had gone with Ah Si for some time, and before returning, Zhuo Yuan looked at the time.

On one side, Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi, Tao Tao and Suisui wanted to go to the market, Zhuo Xin and the guards followed, and Zhuo Yuan got up and went to the bookstore.

The guard was at the bookstore, and when he saw Zhuo Yuan, he stepped forward and said, "Fourth Young Master and Miss Shen are still here."

Zhuo Yuan entered and heard Ah Si's voice coming from the second floor.

Zhuo Yuan searched for the wooden ladder to go up to the second floor. The scene that caught his eye was Ah Si and Shen Yue sitting on the side of the desk. Xu Li was originally standing beside Shen Yue, because he wanted to lean over to talk to Ah Si. He put his hands together and told Ah Si that the word should be understood in this way.

Ah Si suddenly froze, with a rare excitement on his face, "No wonder I can't understand this paragraph, so that's what it means, you are really amazing."

Xu Li smiled.

Just as Shen Yue turned her eyes, Xu Li looked at Shen Yue again and continued, "In the future, you can ask her, she reads a lot of books."

Shen Yue was surprised, "Me?"

She seemed shy and slandered, "I'm a three-legged cat, and my skills are almost the same!"

Xu Li said warmly, "I don't know if you are a three-legged cat kung fu?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at her, and the corner of his mouth tickled slightly.

In his eyes, there seems to be a tacit understanding.

"Uncle Six?" Ah Si was the first to spot him and called out.

young talent...

Zhuo Yuan is sourly coming back to his senses, "Teacher."
