Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 26 Bookstore on Tianhe Street

"It's been windy from the south lately and the humidity is too heavy. No need to explain, I understand." Lin Ruo quickly responded to his question.

Wang Qinian was shocked and sighed, "Hey, isn't this the line I was going to say?"

Wang Qinian laughed without blushing or beating his heart: "Mr. Lin and I really have a tacit understanding. He can even guess what I am thinking. I admire you."

Lin Ruo smiled and said, "But I have only known Lord Shadow for ten days, and Mr. Fei for only three months. I don't know how Brother Wang has admired me for so many years."

"Really? These were all said word for word by Lord Shadow. It seems that Lord Shadow had already secretly told you, Mr. Lin, before we even met. Oh, I really don't want to say more, sir. Don't worry, sir. I will go back and explain to Lord Shadow how could he treat you like this." Wang Qinian showed a look of disgust and spoke righteously word for word without any shame at all.

Lin Ruo stared blankly at this astonishing scene that he directed and acted out himself. After confirming that Wang Qinian was not a funny guy sent by God, he was completely shocked. If he could play like this now, after twelve years, his skills would be improved and he would be able to fool Fan Xian.

After coughing twice, Lin Ruo finally couldn't bear to listen any longer and said, "Master Wang, just tell me what you are here for. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Wang Qinian smiled and finally revealed his true colors: "Actually, there is a vacancy in my Supervisory Commission and I would like to invite you..."

"see a visitor out."

"Wait a minute, sir." Wang Qinian quickly hugged the leg, his round eyes misting with tears. "Actually, this is just an insignificant matter. I have admired you for a long time. My real purpose is to invite you to eat noodles at the stall tomorrow so that I can see you."

"Are you sure?" Lin Ruo couldn't believe it and wondered if he had heard it wrong. Inviting people to get together to eat noodles at a stall...what a move.

"If you don't want to, we can have noodles in the restaurant." Wang Qinian gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, eating noodles in a restaurant, it's okay if it's a bit expensive.

Lin Ruo's eyes darkened, as if he was holding back a breath: "If you don't want to invite me, you don't have to."

"Please, of course. I can afford to treat you to noodles in the restaurant." Wang Qinian said with certainty.

Lin Ruo thought of the scenic spots in Kyoto and smiled slightly: "Although I have just arrived in Kyoto, I have heard of the charm of Zuixianju. If Lord Wang is really sincere, why not..."

"What?" Wang Qinian rolled his eyes and stood up, pretending he hadn't heard. "It's getting dark so quickly. I have to go back quickly to avoid worrying my wife. Goodbye, sir. We'll meet again if we're lucky.

Just as he finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, he was already submerged in the night, leaving Lin Ruo speechless for a long time.

Teng Zijing appeared beside him at some point and asked, "Are these people from the Supervisory Council? Are all the people in the Supervisory Council like this?"

This was completely different from the cold-blooded and ruthless people in the Supervisory Council that he had imagined would kill people without blinking an eye. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

"There are always exceptions. It's normal." Lin Ruo said calmly. God knows what his expression was just now.

"By the way, what's up?"

"It's nothing. The master just asked me to come and see. It's rude to leave people outside. If there are guests, they should be invited into the mansion for a chat. The master also wants to see which capable person from the Overwatch Council dares to come to his house."

Lin Ruo said "Oh", luckily he ran fast.

Then he turned around and said, "I'm going to Tianhe Street again tomorrow. You come with me."

Hearing the words "Tianhe Street", Teng Zijing became inexplicably nervous, and recalled the blaming expression on the master's face when he looked at him coldly outside the Supervisory Office today: "You still want to go to the Supervisory Office? The master will really be angry." "Tianhe Street is not only the Supervisory Office."

……

Tianhe Street is indeed not only home to the Censorate, but also to restaurants and inns scattered all over the place, bustling with talented and talented people, and a small river flowing through it, with people coming and going, attracting many couples.

Whether male or female, there are many people here and the transportation is convenient.

Lin Ruo took Teng Zijing and walked around Tianhe Street for a long time, and finally set their sights on a small bookstore.

"You want to buy books? The Fan family has quite a collection of books. You can just ask the master for permission. Why go through all the trouble?" Teng Zijing complained. It turned out that he had gone through so much trouble just for this insignificant matter.

Lin Ruo shook his head: "I don't buy books, and I don't read books. I just think this store is good."

Teng Zijing raised his head in surprise: "You want to do business?"

Lin Ruo was holding a manuscript in his hand. It was the first chapter of the Dream of the Red Chamber that Fan Xian had copied from memory. Before going to Beijing, Fan Xian had provided him with many ideas for running a bookstore, but now was not the time to think about these things.

When passing by Tianhe Street yesterday, Lin Ruo cleverly discovered this inconspicuous small bookstore. It is located in the most prosperous red-light district of Tianhe Street, Liu Neiwei, and the daily flow of people is quite active.

At the same time, the outer area is close to the river that runs through the entire street. The noble and proud celebrities and ordinary Kyoto people, even if they do not go to the brothels, will never miss the free Tianhe view when they come to Tianhe Street.

Whether inside or outside, this location is very attractive. If people are not careful, they will notice the existence of this bookstore. The only thing left is to attract more attention.

The natural thing to attract attention is the bookstore sign, and how could the Dream of the Red Chamber fail to attract the affectionate attention of so many talented and passionate people?

It is located not far from the Supervisory Yuan, so it will be convenient to go to the Eighth Office to handle document publishing work in the future.

Lin Ruo thought for a long time and finally walked into the store.

Fujiko Kyo did not follow in. After running around with Lin Ruo for the whole morning, he needed to find a place to fill his stomach. Besides, he did not think he could be of any help in the business of merchants who relied on talking. It was not like they needed thugs to force a purchase or demolition.

There were very few customers in the store, and most of them were just there to look around, which showed that the business was extremely bad. One could roughly guess the situation by looking at the waiter who looked bored and listless.
"Hey, what book do you want to buy?"

The waiter was dozing off with his eyes squinting. He heard the sound of footsteps. He looked up and saw a young man with elegant manners walking into the store. His eyes lit up and he immediately determined that this was one of his potential consumers.

Lin Ruo glanced around casually, and after confirming that there was nothing interesting to read, he said, "You don't have the book I want to read."

When the shop assistant heard this, he immediately frowned, thinking that this was a scoundrel, but he was kind enough not to get angry and drive him away. He just put on a fake smile and reminded him: "Since you don't like it, please go to another bookstore to look for it."

"The books are not good, but your store is good."

　There are a lot of comments between the paragraphs in today's message reminder, but I don't know why I can't see them. I can't see them when I log in with a different account and open the book. I don't know if you can see them.
