[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Mr. Darcy, who was locked out of the door, was really dazed standing at the door.

"Sir, the owner of this bookstore is a weird person. If you must buy books, you can go to a bookstore in London. There are all kinds of books there." The shop next to Sky Bookstore is also about to close.The owner saw another unlucky customer kicked out from the Sky Bookstore next door, so he kindly reminded him.

But some books are really hard to find.

Mr. Darcy turned away, without answering the innkeeper's words, making up his mind to leave a day late, and get the books he needed.

Of course, he will never visit this unbelievable shop again in his life, and he doesn't want to see this self-willed and depraved shop owner again!

The rest of the voices in the bookstore gradually died down.

When the shopkeeper locked the door, he was shaking almost all over his body.

There is a not-so-big single room at the back of the store. The floor height is very low, but it allows people to stretch out and sleep well.

Skye has not been in charge of this bookstore for a long time. She also lived in that small room at the beginning, but after the light from the skylight made her already poor sleep more shallow, she used to provide books for customers in the bookstore. Fell asleep on sofas and cushions.

That night's dream is still the fire that arrived as scheduled.

The fierce sunset and sunset glow, depicting the sunset in Phnom Penh, and the water surface reflected like broken gold.She doesn't remember how she ended up in this place, but on the third day after she regained consciousness, she took over this bookstore full of stories.

People around her preconceived that she was Mr. Skye.It never occurred to anyone that Skye was a girl's name.

She's slowly settling down, and aside from hazy memories and a migraine that visits almost daily, the days have passed for a long time.

The bookstore welcomes a few customers every day, but just like all the previous customers, they will not be willing to continue to patronize once, even if they come again, they will not move and make noise, and they will choose their favorite books quietly .

Skye had thought about it recently, when all the books here are sold out...

When all the books here are sold out...

It was raining that night, and Skye curled up in a pile of pillows that smelled of oil, and the hard outlines of the bookshelves could barely be seen in the dark.A voice told her - that's all right.

So be it.

Even daily migraines can be quite severe.But the owner of the sky bookstore is a good man after he wakes up every day.

When Skye is not feeling unwell, he will still tidy up the scattered books on the ground.

If you observe carefully, you can still find that these books on the ground are popular novels with no gold content. If someone buys them, they will be reserved for some ladies who yearn for love to read.

Skye had recently read several of them seriously, and the gorgeous and graceful writing was like a layer of sweet icing, but this could not change the content of the books, which was empty and full of drama.If some ladies believe in the content of the book and want to be a person who gives up everything for love, then the end may not be as beautiful as in the book.

Shakespeare's works are also plays, but there is a big difference between the two.For example, Shakespeare's books are still properly preserved on the upper shelves, and occasionally enjoy the treatment of cleaning dust.But these love stories are just stacked on the ground to decorate the appearance of "the shopkeeper is not easy to mess with".

Skye found the half-read "Giant" in the pile of pillows yesterday.She can understand most of the books in the store, which leads her to speculate that she was once well educated.

Maybe, maybe not.

Skye tries not to think about the past, if her past is really like those written in those love novels, what kind of lady eloped with someone... So this kind of speculation is usually not Very pleasant.Nor did Skye recall past learning unless necessary, which would make her headache worse.

There is a default rule that no polite person will buy a book early in the morning.

One morning passed, and the shop owner almost finished reading the "Biography of Giants" in his hand.

After reading a book, the owner got up from the ground, stretched his legs shaking his legs, and flipped the unopened sign from one side to the other willfully.Then she stepped out of her storefront to bask in the midday sun.

Sky Bookstore has a unique geographical location. ——When you go out from the bookstore, turn left and three stores are the bakery.The owner's daughter is sunny and generous, very sympathetic.Every time I see Skye, I can also maintain the same enthusiasm for other guests.Pick the freshly baked bread for Skye to take away.

"Good morning. Mr. Skye."

However, it was also Anna who was called Mr. Skye in the first place.The girl's sweet smile is far better than the warm sun in the morning.Skemo silently handed over the money he got from selling books yesterday to Anna, and waited impatiently for her to wrap the bread for him.

"Hey... why is it such a big face value again? Mr. Skye will give some change next time. This is the change, and this is the raisin bread that Dad just made today."

The red-haired Anna babbled to cut the bread for Skye, and the freshly baked bread smelled of wheat.Anna swiftly wrapped the bread in oiled paper and handed it to Skye.

Skye nodded obediently, and said seriously: "Okay. I will definitely ask them to give me change next time."

And in fact?The price of each book is set randomly. Maybe the next time I ask for change, those books will suddenly be discounted.

——The mood of the shopkeeper determines the price of the book.

It is really a healing thing to be able to smell such fragrant bread at noon.

Satisfied, Skye tore off a piece of bread and put it in his mouth.The fluffy taste makes tears come to my eyes.Before Skye left, she suddenly thought of something, took out a small story book from her pocket, put it on the counter of the bakery, and said to Anna: "Didn't you ask me last time if there was any book to recommend you?" ? That’s all, the story is quite simple, so I’ll give it to you.”

"Hey? How much is this? I'll give it to you..." Although Anna's family opened such a bakery.But this does not mean that Anna's parents are enlightened enough to send her to a girls' school.But she likes this aspect very much. Before Skye came here, she would work hard to save money and wanted to have a few books of her own.

But this was before Ana met Skye.

Skye is the owner of the bookstore, and she has the right to choose who she will show the books to.

"This book is not too big or too small, it would be annoying to read it in my place, and this kind of book is not worth much, so just treat it as a gift from me."

Books in this era were expensive, sometimes in pounds sterling.As far as a little bakery girl is concerned, she can never come across any books in her life.

But what does it matter?

Now this bookstore is called Sky Bookstore, and the original owner gave her both the books and the storefront, which are all her belongings.

Skye waved his hand and walked out of the shop very easily.

Mr. Darcy turned again into the street shortly after Skye's departure.He saw the bakery smoking from the chimney, perhaps because the weather here was too good, and he didn't bring any entourage with him.

Finally, as a matter of course, Darcy walked into the store.

Anna has done all the work.The number of inhabitants in a small town is limited.The people who come to buy bread every day are basically regular customers.In just a short while, the bread was basically sold out.Some of the rest, if nothing else happens, will become their dinner, or more of the rest, it can only become a product sold at a low price.

Anna sat on a small stool, concentrating on the book Skye left behind.

This is a collection of Shakespeare, and the charm of the sonnets easily captures the little educated Anna.Although she has doubts about some words, she is still addicted to the beautiful scenes of the poem.

Darcy did not expect to see such a scene here.

He coughed dryly, reminding himself of his existence.

"Ah! Sir, may I help you?"

Anna looked up and saw Darcy standing in front of her, jumping up from the small stool as if waking up from a dream, ran to the back of the counter like a frightened little rabbit, and swiftly opened the basket where the bread was placed.

Of course, in this series of smooth movements, she did not forget to close the book on her lap and put it on the cabinet by the door that is farthest from the fireworks, and even placed a cushion between the book and the greasy cabinet. own handkerchief.

"One pound of bread." Darcy didn't feel much hunger, and he wasn't very particular about these things when he was away from home.

The best plan is to successfully buy the books he needs from that weird shopkeeper today, or he can only change another place.He really can't see anyone treating the crystallization of wisdom like this.Even savages know how to appreciate music and dance, but people who have evolved for so many years have not yet learned to cherish the books in their hands.

That shopkeeper is really abominable!

This man is really terrible!

——Anna's hands were shaking when she packed the bread under the fierce gaze of Mr. Darcy.Although the man in front of her was very handsome, and he did attract her attention when he pushed the door in at first, but no matter how handsome he was, he couldn't change his eyes that were about to eat people, it was scary dead.

Anna wrapped the bread tremblingly.She was going to give Darcy a bread basket, but almost immediately she realized that the gentleman in front of her did not look like a person who would walk out of the shop with a basket on his arm.

In this way, Anna hesitated with her outstretched hand, and finally just handed the wrapped bread to Mr. Darcy.

"Are you here...to visit a friend?"

Anna received the change that Darcy handed over.She swears that she just picked up a random question, trying not to be too rude to the guests.

The man in front of her did not speak.The other party cherishes words like gold but looks at her with a little disdain, as if looking at something unworthy of attention.

Anna's eyes were red from being stared at.But she didn't dare to cry in front of this gentleman, she just tried her best to restrain herself, trembling like a sieve.

Seeing this situation, Darcy frowned even tighter.

Fortunately, he didn't have any more things that required him to stay in this store, so he almost strode towards the door of the store, almost walking out of the store.

"Did you buy this book at the nearby bookstore?" His eyes stayed on the cover of the book of Shakespeare's sonnets.Almost every educated Briton will indulge in Shakespeare's stories and literary grace, but this obviously does not include a woman selling bread in a bakery.

If books fall into the hands of people who don't understand them, it is far more regrettable than being shelved.Without waiting for an answer, Darcy thought that this must be something that eccentric shopkeeper would do.

"Yes... Skye gave it to me. He thinks this book is very suitable for me to read." Anna said timidly.

But she wasn't sure the eccentric but wealthy guest had actually heard her answer.Because when she was talking, the gentleman had already taken her book and strode out of the bakery.
