Chapter 21 (1/2)

When he woke up, Fang Yun washed and had breakfast, then walked around the yard for a few times, and then plunged into the room to practice calligraphy and reading.

During the visit, there were no important things. Yang Yuhuan blocked them in the yard. When they heard Fang Yun's reading voice, they also left knowingly. Before leaving, they didn't forget to praise Fang Yun's hard work.

At noon, Liang Yuan brought wine and vegetables. While eating and drinking with Fang Yun, he talked about the bookstore. Finally, he decided to go to Dayuan mansion with Fang Yun to run the bookstore. For example, Yun left five days earlier to help Fang Yun choose his place of residence and the address of the bookstore.

After dinner, Fang Yun went to the library of the Academy.

The library of the county literary academy is huge, with more than 100000 books. The only disadvantage is that it can't be lent out.

Fang Yun entered it and chose a book that he had never read before, called Caolu Mountain Residence collection, which is the collection of works of a great scholar in Jingguo.

Fang Yun took it silently, and there was no response from the strange book world.

A moment later, Fang Yun whispered, ”close!”

Strange book world still has no response.

Fang Yun focused on the five words ”Caolu Mountain Residence collection” on the cover. He had a spirit of ”killing you with his eyes”, but it was useless.

”Can't it be directly included in the world of rare books?”

Fang Yun thought about it and looked at the pages. There was still no response from the world of strange books, so he had to memorize them word by word.

After reading the first page silently, Fang Yun turned the page, and the world of strange books moved.

A blank book appeared in Fang Yun's mind. The five words ”Caolu Mountain Residence collection” gradually appeared on the cover. The first page also had content, but the back was still blank.

”Do you really need to read all the words silently before you can get into the world of strange books? This kind of Scripture can't be read quickly. Two words a second, seven thousand two hundred words an hour. Even if you read it for ten hours a day, it's only seventy-two thousand words, and sixty days in three months is only more than four million words. There are a lot of works of saints, especially the works of new saints in the past two or three hundred years. It's a strange book day There are not many in the field. In addition, those great Confucianism and scholars have to look at the interpretation of the holy classics. Don't expect to make great achievements if you don't read them for more than ten years. ”

Fang Yun made a mistake. It's much more difficult to test talents in the government test than in the county test. The scope of the test is also very wide. It would be a shame if he could get a Ding from the Scriptures or the saints.

”I really can't. I won't take part in the government examination this year. I'll take the scholar examination in a few years.”

Fang Yun thought and left the Academy.

There are many shops related to reading in Wenyuan street, including books, four treasures of study and other sundries. Because Tong Sheng just tried, people in other villages and towns didn't go. This street is very busy, and many shops have discount activities.

Before Fang Yun, he didn't have much money and couldn't buy too many books. Now he is not short of money. He was moved to see that there is a set of Guanhai anthology with a 10% discount.

Chen Guanhai is the only semi saint in Jingguo at present, and his anthology is necessary for many scholars in Jingguo.

The collection of Guanhai essays collects Chen Guanhai's works over the years, including poems, classics, strategies and notes, as well as the comments and explanations of other great Confucianism and scholars. It has a total of 52 books, which are packed in two wooden book boxes, each of which is half a person tall.

Fang Yun walked into the store and a smell of ink came to his face.

”How much is this set of Guanhai anthology?” Fang Yun asked.

”This is a hardcover collection edition. The original price is twenty Liang silver. After a discount of eighteen Liang, there is no counter-offer.” the busy bookstore owner doesn't lift his head and continues to work.

Fang Yun was surprised. He didn't expect that this collection of essays was so expensive. If he was still working in a restaurant, it would take three years to buy it without eating or drinking.

”Do you have a paperback?” Fang Yun asked.

”Yes, one in five, no discount.”

Fang Yun thought about a hundred words a book, which was a sky high price for him in the past, but not much for him now.

”Then give me a set of plain clothes.” Fang Yun just wants to learn rather than collect. There is no need to buy the hardcover, which is too heavy. He needs to collect it until he goes to Dayuan mansion.

Fang Yun was looking for the silver when someone asked in surprise, ”but Fang Yun's plan is the first?”

Fang Yun looked up and saw a young man in brocade standing in front of him. He vaguely remembered that he was a neighbor named Xue Hua a few years ago, but he moved away after he was admitted to Tong Sheng.

”Hello, brother Xue, how are aunt and uncle?” Fang Yun said politely.

”My parents are all right. Yesterday I mentioned your high school case. My parents were very happy and didn't want to see you here.” Xue Zheng said with a smile.

Fang Yun was about to answer. The owner of the white haired Bookstore shouted, ”are you the Fang Shuangjia who went to the examination room in an ox cart?”

”It's Xiaosheng,” Fang Yun replied.

”You want the collection of Guanhai essays, don't you? The hardcover is for you. What else do you want? Make a list of books and I'll send them to your house without money.” the bookstore owner smiled happily and showed his missing teeth.

Fang Yun hurriedly refused: ”thank you for your kindness, but you don't get paid for your reactive power. Just buy it at the normal price.”

”Why are you useless? Our Jixian County has never been famous for Shuangjia and shengqian children. You are famous, and our Jixian county is also famous. This is a great contribution to Jixian County. As a member of Jixian County, it's my duty to send you some books. Don't refuse,” said the bookshop owner.

Fang Yun had to refuse. Xue Hua said with a smile, ”first of all, don't refuse. I've been studying in the Academy of Arts for three years. I've known boss Zhao for a long time. He is a kind-hearted person and especially supports readers. The three people with the best scores in the college entrance examination can come to his bookstore to choose a set of books for free. This practice has lasted for more than ten years.”
