Jiaohua

Chapter 202 The Xia Family's Book
The capital is prosperous and wealthy, with a total of inner and outer cities, twelve avenues in the inner city, and 64 avenues in the outer city. There are many high-rise buildings, restaurants, teahouses and shops everywhere.

The Guo family's mansion in the capital is located on Huaizhou Street, very close to Dongping Academy, which is the place where Shen Lie came to Beijing to study.

Shen Yan gave a few instructions in the car, Shen Lie listened silently, when they were almost at Huaizhou Street, Shen Wen got out of the car and left, taking Rou Gu away.

Stone wished that they would leave quickly, he finally took a breath, turned his head to Shen Lie in the carriage and said, "Master."

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, just, the weather at dusk is so nice!" Shitou said.

Shen Lie didn't make another sound.

Shi He chuckled, raised his whip and twitched the horse's buttocks lightly.

The mansion is cleaned every day, and now that Shen Lie is coming, he made it even more clean and comfortable.

Shen Lie lived under Wen Dao, Dai Yu and the others went to tidy up their things, Shen Lie also took the stone away, and after tidying up his things, he went to the study.

The study room is very large, with a huge collection of books. After Shen Lie entered, he found that many books seemed to have just been moved, and many bookshelves were newly added, because the appearance of the furnishings was too disruptive.

He randomly picked up a few books to read, either military books, or collections of Taoism, ancient and profound, he had never touched them, so it was a bit confusing to read.

Shen Lie closed the book, turned around and walked outside, just when the housekeeper came over, Shen Lie asked, "What's the matter with the books in the study?"

The housekeeper smiled: "The master said that the young master wants to study here, so I collected all the books in this house."

"This book is wrong," Shen Lie raised the book in his hand and said, "Where did this book come from?"

The butler looked at it, his expression changed, and then he smiled and said, "My lord, the history of this book is not small."

"What's the history?"

The housekeeper lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "This book was sent to us before Dingguo's residence was confiscated."

Shen Lie was taken aback: "What?"

"The old man knows about this," the housekeeper said with a smile, "There are still a lot of things that have been sent. There are very few people living in our house, so it is best to stay here for safekeeping."

Shen Lie never knew that his grandfather had such a relationship, looking down at the book in his hand, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"There's no harm in reading these books, my lord," said the butler. "Many books here are still Miss Xia's treasures, but the other part was taken away by Zheng Guogong."

"Zhao Gong?"

"Yes." The butler nodded.

Shen Lie still felt a little strange, frowned and said: "Why do you tell me everything, such a big thing, tell me directly, you at least, at least..."

At the very least, he had to be secretive, hesitating, and he only revealed it after he kept questioning, and now he said it so openly, it's as common as drinking water and eating, but Shen Lie didn't know what kind of expression to make. .

"My lord is not an outsider," the butler laughed again, "and many people in the house know about these things. This matter is very important, and everyone knows that they will not say it. Under the nest, there are eggs, and we all know about it." They are from the Guo family, and if the Guo family is good, we will be good."

Shen Lie had no choice but to nod, paused, and asked, "How many people are there in the house now?"

"Not many, there are only sixteen. We have nothing to do every day, and we are very leisurely. It's just right that the young master is here, so he can set up rules for us."

"No need," Shen Lie said, "whatever you do normally, you can do it now, just take care of our meals every day."

"Okay, sir." The butler replied.

Shen Lie said "um" and went back to the study.

Entering the study again, the feeling is completely different.

Standing by the door, he looked at the collection of books in the room, and suddenly there was a trace of sadness in his heart.

He bowed his head and opened the book in his hand, it was really profound, this book of Taoism should be left by Miss Xia.

Such a light book, but Shen Lie felt as if it weighed a thousand catties in his hand.

........................

Xia Zhaoyi came back from outside with a load of things.

The inn was very deserted, and the shopkeeper was thinking about it, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.

The guys are all around a table of eight immortals, some are sleeping on their stomachs, some are napping with their cheeks propped up, and their heads are biting.

Xia Zhaoyi went up to them, gently took the chopstick holder from the Eight Immortals table, and put it on another table.

The shopkeeper looked up, and the boy turned around to meet his gaze and smiled at him.

Smiling cleanly and beautifully, he even gave two small pear dimples, the shopkeeper couldn't help laughing, and shook his head again.

Xia Zhaoyi walked over and said, "Shopkeeper, you're not happy."

"I lost a lot of money, how can I be happy." The shopkeeper said.

Xia Zhaoyi said: "I heard on the street that taxes seem to have increased?"

"Today I made a total of two coins, but I was taken away from one and thirty coins, and I had to pay the remaining seventy coins." The shopkeeper sighed.

"The food is going to be gone too," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Has it been confiscated today?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "Yeah, I took some away, but I left some food for us."

However, they had already heard about it, so they secretly hid most of it yesterday.

But I don't know what life will be like in the future. The era of war and chaos is really uneasy.

At this time, a resident upstairs came down and asked for hot water.

The shopkeeper yelled at those sleeping guys to hurry up.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, turned around and went back upstairs.

The baggage contained all brand new tools, nails, hammers, drivers, pliers, crowbars... and a lot of needles and threads.

Xia Zhaoyi spread out the blueprints on the side, then took out six copper plates, and set up an array of grand immortals and lonely cranes on the blueprints.

In the eyes of outsiders, what seems to be a battle of gods and gods is actually an auxiliary tool used by arithmetic for positioning.

Xia Zhaoyi compared the distance, felt that it was almost suitable, and withdrew the copper plate.

But she didn't start in a hurry, but rested her cheek with one hand, thinking about something.

The candle on the table flickered for a while before Xia Zhaoyi looked back, his eyes were still a little dazed, and he stretched out his hand to light the candle lightly, feeling the heat from his fingertips.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Xia Zhaoyi got up and went to open the door.

The clerk stood outside, holding a basin of hot water in his hand, and said, "My shopkeeper asked me to bring it to you for washing your feet."

Xia Zhaoyi bent his lips and smiled, and stepped aside: "I'm sorry."

The man brought the hot water, saw the things on the table, and was stunned: "Ah, you are going to learn carpentry."

"That's right," Xia Zhaoyi said, "No craftsman can starve to death anywhere."

"Promising, promising." The man said, and then turned to leave.

Xia Zhaoyi called him to stop: "Brother, wait."

"Ok?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "I have something to ask you."

　Moving bricks makes me happy, moving bricks makes me happy, moving bricks makes me happy! ! QAQ!
