Chapter 138 The Little Backer of Wanshu Pavilion

The second day of Wanshuge’s opening.

There were people waiting at the door early in the morning.

Unlike other bookstores, Wanshu Pavilion opens relatively late. All the shops on the entire street are open except Wanshu Pavilion, which causes the entire road to be blocked again.

Chengcheng had no choice but to ask someone to open the door in advance.

By the afternoon, there were no more people waiting outside the Wanshu Pavilion to buy books.

Although there are no more people buying books, there are more people reading books in the store.

These people came to test the Wanshu Pavilion after hearing the rumors about it.

They were all poor and could not afford to buy books. They came here to try it out, but they did not expect that they could enter the Wanshu Pavilion to read books by paying only 20 coins. Although they could not copy, they could understand and even took it for granted.

Among these poor scholars reading books, there was one whose clothes were full of patches, who attracted special attention.

The scholar came to Wanshu Pavilion early in the morning, paid twenty coins, and then sat in his seat without moving, reading books non-stop. He even didn't go out for lunch until the waiter reminded him to go out for lunch.

"Sir, our store provides safekeeping services. If you plan to continue reading in the store this afternoon, you can leave your things in the store. We will give you a badge, and you can use it to prove your identity when you come in this afternoon. Of course, the money you pay today, and the badge can only be used today."

After hearing such considerate rules, the scholars who had originally refused to leave went to the counter to change their brands.

In the afternoon, the group of scholars went back to the store to continue reading.

However, at dusk, a special guest arrived at the Wanshu Pavilion.

An old man with gray hair but bright eyes walked in. He was dressed in gray, but the fabric was very good, and it was obvious that he was a man of status.

Just by looking at the old man's face, you can tell that he is of noble status without even looking at the fabric of his clothes.

Anyone who is educated will recognize that face.

Mr. Zhang, also known as Mr. Zhang, was a famous literary figure in Dayan.

However, the noise of someone coming at the door was completely inaudible to the scholars who were already engrossed in reading in the store.

These scholars are immersed in the ocean of knowledge, completely blocking out the sounds from the outside world.

The old man stood at the sign at the door for a long time, his eyes full of interest.

This bookstore is quite interesting.

After entering the Wanshu Pavilion, Zhang Lao's eyes changed. What caught his eye were many large bookshelves. After a rough estimate, he knew that there were about several hundred books. There were twenty or thirty large bookshelves, and the bookshelves became emptier as they went further back. There was a large open space behind the bookshelves, which was probably reserved for adding books in the future.

After reading the general idea, Mr. Zhang began to read the book seriously.

I just picked up a book that interested me, but before I could even start reading it, someone came up to me.

"Dear guest, our store is currently only open to the public for the books on the first five bookshelves on the right. The books on the other bookshelves will be open after the Spring Examination. If you are interested, you can come after the Spring Examination."

After hearing the waiter's reminder, Mr. Zhang put the books back on the shelf, and then asked, "So many books? Can I ask where they came from?"

Before the waiter could answer, a pleasant male voice came from behind again, "These books were purchased by me from all over the country at a high price. If you are interested, you can come back after the Spring Examination when the bookshelves are open."

?

Hearing the voice, Zhang Lao turned around and saw a man in a green shirt who looked like a scholar. The man had a delicate appearance and was playing with a jade ring in his hand.

"Is this Wanshu Pavilion yours?" Old Zhang looked the visitor up and down.

He has a very scholarly air, and his figure and temperament are like a bamboo. No matter how you look at him, you would think he is a talented scholar rather than the owner of a bookstore.

"That's right." Cheng Cheng knew the purpose of Mr. Zhang's visit.

After all, Young Master Zhang bought a book from him yesterday, and now that Boss Zhang has come to visit, his purpose is clear as day.

just,

He is just an ordinary bookstore owner, how could he know so much?

After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhang suddenly took out a book from his sleeve. It still looked brand new, but the pages had obvious signs of having been turned over, and more than once, otherwise it would not be so obvious.

"What about the second volume of this book? Is it for sale?"

After taking a look at the book and confirming that it was his, Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, the second volume of this book will not be available until after the Spring Examination."

"In order to avoid affecting the many scholars who are taking the imperial examinations, all books not related to the imperial examinations will not be sold until the end of the Spring Examination."

"After the Spring Examination, you can come to our store again. At that time, all the books on the shelves will be opened step by step. You can buy them at will."

After hearing Chengcheng's words, Mr. Zhang looked at Chengcheng meaningfully. These five bookshelves are not all filled with books for imperial examinations, but they are also somewhat related to imperial examinations.

"I don't know what to call it?"

Being asked his name surprised Cheng Cheng a little. In the aristocratic families of Yanjing, especially the elders of this age and high moral character, they would usually never ask the names of the younger generations. It was always the younger generations who would take the initiative to introduce themselves.

He had never thought about this matter at first, but since he was asked, Chengcheng didn't intend to hide it. After all, he was going to make it in Yanjing, so how could he not have a title?

"I'm in White City, the city of the city."

Chengcheng had a high fever when he was a child but it was not treated in time, resulting in him forgetting everything about his childhood and also forgetting his own name early on.

Even the word "Cheng" was chosen after I met Linglong.

Originally, he wanted to use the name "Gu Cheng", but the surname "Gu" was too conspicuous in Yanjing. In order to prevent people from easily suspecting his relationship with Gu Jue, Cheng Cheng finally decided to use Cha Cha's surname.

Cha Cha's surname is Bai. Since she grew up with an old Taoist priest, the old Taoist priest named her after his own surname.

But later, when Cha Cha followed them down the mountain, she no longer often mentioned her surname and simply said her name was Cha Cha when introducing herself.

According to Cha Cha, one reason was to be the same as them, but the most important reason was that she was afraid of offending people outside. Others could not do anything to her, but Cha Cha was afraid of bringing disaster to the old Taoist priest, so when she was out there, Cha Cha generally would not tell her last name.

After knowing the news he wanted to know, Mr. Zhang left Wanshu Pavilion.

Cheng Cheng also returned upstairs and looked at Gu Jue who was leisurely reading a book. He asked curiously, "How did you know that Mr. Zhang would come today? Even if Zhang Yulin bought a book and took it home, it wouldn't alarm Mr. Zhang, right?"
