Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The name of the bookstore is Hanwenzhai. It is in a good location, has an elegant name, and the shop is noble. It has two floors and a wide front. It looks tall and classy at first glance, except that the business is slightly deserted, which is not proportional to the size of the bookstore.

They stood outside for a while. There were only a few customers coming in and out, and they didn't know how they kept the business open in the past.

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Gu Huanxi thought for a while, "Let's go in and take a look. We have to know where the business is lacking so we can improve it."

"Okay, I just have some ideas in my mind. Let's take a look at the structure inside so that we can rearrange it later."

"What do you want to do?"

"I'll discuss this with you later."

The couple walked in with their children in their arms. The decoration inside was also very high-end. There were rows of bookshelves, exuding a strong fragrance of ink, but it was just a little less popular. Even the shopkeeper and the waiter looked listless and couldn't lift their spirits. When I saw them, I didn’t go up to greet them. I glanced at them casually and continued to do whatever I was supposed to do.

Xu Huaiyi did not disclose his identity to find a reason. He walked around the rows of bookshelves with his wife and children, and found that the types of books were relatively simple, and they were all related to the imperial examination, such as travel notes, story books, etc. No.

As for the second floor, they are all filled with calligraphy, paintings, and the Four Treasures of the Study. The prices are also quite expensive, and they are not within the reach of ordinary students.

To sum up, ordinary people here cannot reach high places, and they only serve the children of rich families or the rich and powerful.

With such a arrogant posture, it’s no wonder that there are so few people around.

The only thing that makes people happy is the attitude of the shopkeeper and the waiter. Although they are a little cold and negative, fortunately they don't sneer at them and look at the dishes. Even if they don't buy anything in the end, they don't roll their eyes.

After leaving the door, Xu Huaiyi asked, "What do you think?"

Gu Huan said happily, "It's a pity that it's such a good place."

Xu Huaiyi felt the same way, "I just glanced at the back, and there's a big yard. It's really ruining the shop."

"Do you want to change your business?"

"That's not true. I still want to leave it to you to open a bookstore."

Gu Huanxi was surprised, "Don't you see how deserted the business here is? If you don't pay enough, you can't even make rent."

Xu Huaiyi said with a smile, "The shop is owned by the family. It has no costs. If it doesn't make money, it won't make money."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi glared at him angrily, "Then what's the purpose of opening a shop? It's a waste of time?"

Xu Huaiyi pointedly said, "To express feelings, that's not a waste of time, that's called enjoying the time."

Gu Huanxi was stunned for a while. After a while, he came back to his senses and asked what he wanted to ask. There were children around and it was inconvenient to say those words, so he could only hold back for the time being.

When we reached Beicheng, it was already noon.

Looking at the quiet and clean streets and the elegant yet tasteful door lintel, Gu Huanxi fell in love with this place immediately. When she walked in and saw the layout of the courtyard, she deeply understood why Xu Huaiyi could swear that she would be satisfied. .

It really touched her heart, and it was in line with her aesthetics. Even if the scenery was not good at the moment, she felt that the 45,000 taels of silver were well spent just based on her imagination.

No wonder Xu Huaiyi dared to kill first and then play.

If it were her, she wouldn't hesitate. After all, such a good house is rare.

Their luck is indeed good.

After visiting the main courtyard, due to time constraints, he did not go to other courtyards and went directly to Meilin. The moment he saw the beautiful scenery, Gu Huanxi couldn't help but stop and hold his breath.

I was just dreaming in my previous life, and I never imagined that one day I would be able to live in such a wonderful place.

This kind of place is for tourists to enjoy, and you have to pay for the entrance fee. You can only check in and take pictures, and you can't move around casually. But now, she can climb and fold as she pleases.

Xu Huaiyi said in a tone of asking for credit and reward, "How do you like it? Do you like it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Gu Huanxi nodded and couldn't help but praise, "We did a good job this time."

Xu Huaiyi smiled brighter than the plum blossoms, "Is there any reward?"

Gu Huanxi saw smoke coming from somewhere in the distance, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'll reward you with a few more skewers of mutton later."

In such a poetic and beautiful place, with the smoke curling up and blowing skewers, it always feels like a cow chewing peonies, burning a harp and boiling a crane.

I don’t know if Mr. Jiang can bear it.

Jiang Yong has been here for a while. After enjoying the plum blossoms, he became very excited and wrote a poem. At this moment, he was sitting in front of the greenhouse, drinking tea and reading a book. There was a small table next to him, with a stove and the wind at his back. , not cold at all.

Not far away, Wei Liang has already burned charcoal, waiting to be grilled on the iron rack. The meat skewers are also ready. They were cut last night and skewered with shaved branches. In addition to mutton, there are also pork and chicken wings. , I took some tofu and green vegetable leaves in the morning. The seasoning was prepared by Xu Huaiyi himself and ground into powder. No one knew what was in it. The servants of the Gu family only knew that as soon as the seasoning was sprinkled on it, it would be ready. Have a nice somersault.

After the family of four arrived, after a few words of greeting, Xu Huaiyi took off his cloak, rolled up his sleeves, and started grilling meat himself. His skilled posture showed that he was used to it.

Wei Liang is helping from the side.

Ah Li couldn't sit still, so she pushed herself up and let Lancao push her, walking in the plum forest. Gu Huanxi was worried and asked Wei Ci to follow.

Gu Xiaoyu was left behind by Jiang Yong, so he had to guide him in reading and studying even during the small time before meals.

Gu Xiaoyu didn't have the slightest bit of rejection and impatience, and was able to immerse himself in it in a matter of minutes.

When Gu Huanxi saw her, she couldn't help but admire her. Back then, she was barely considered a top student, but compared to a god like Gu Xiaoyu, the gap was still obvious. For example, she was not so positive in her attitude towards learning. .

Although she worked hard, she was still passive. Deep down, she didn't like to immerse herself in studying. But Gu Xiaoyu really liked it. At such a young age, she could ignore the beautiful scenery and delicious food around her and read these boring books with peace of mind. If you read books and have such a mind, why worry about failing in your studies?

But then he thought of his true identity, and a flash of confusion flashed in Gu Huanxi's eyes. Princes seem to have read more than the Four Books and Five Classics since elementary school, right? Princes do not need to take the imperial examination to serve as officials. They receive more royal business education and are trained as future emperors, rather than rushing to be the number one scholar.

So, who will teach those things?

She and Xu Huaiyi could teach some smart people about how to behave, but they didn't understand how to rule the world from the top. Jiang Yong should know, but now, he couldn't tell Xiaoyu's identity.

Then the question comes again. If the identity is exposed in the future, where will the master-disciple relationship go?

Jiang Yong resigned from office just to avoid the disputes in the court and not to become a pawn for the princes to win over, but now, he is passively involved...

After thinking about it like this, Gu Huanxi no longer felt the aroma when eating the barbecue, it tasted like chewing wax. He was thinking about how to solve this problem so that everyone can be happy.
