After having lunch in Zhuangzi, Nangong Yue asked with a smile: "Sister Fei, do you have any other plans for this afternoon? Your elder brother plans to take me for a walk in Luoyue City."

Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up and she couldn't wait to ask: "Sister-in-law, is there any place you particularly want to go?" She introduced enthusiastically, "We have a lot to go to in Luoyue City, sister-in-law. You probably haven’t been to Mazu Temple, right? There is also a small street selling various dried flowers and essential oils in the market in the east of the city; there is a bookstore in the west of the city, which has many unique books, some of which the boss does not sell. No borrowing is allowed, only students are allowed to make hand-copied copies; there is also a musical instrument shop near the center of the city, and the pianos and flutes made by the masters there are of excellent sound quality..."

The more Xiao Fei talked, the more excited she became. She felt lucky that she had followed him. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would not have been able to take his sister-in-law to any good place. It would just be a restaurant or Rouge Jewelry Shop or something like that.

She accidentally gave Xiao Yi a look of disgust, which almost made Xiao Yi fall out, but seeing that Nangong Yue listened with interest, she could only endure it.

Xiao Fei finally finished speaking, looked at Nangong Yue eagerly and asked: "How is sister-in-law? Where do you want to go today?"

Seeing that she was even more excited than herself, Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, her eyes were full of smiles, and she said: "We have to go back to the palace before dark. The west of the city is close to here, so why not go there today as you said? How about that bookstore?"

"Sister-in-law is right." Xiao Fei smiled while stroking her hands, her dark eyes shining brightly, "Maybe I haven't been to that bookstore for a long time, and I don't know what new books have been bought there recently. Sister-in-law , I have copied several unique copies in that shop before. When I get back to the palace, I will show them to you..."

The two of them chatted about books, and Xiao Yi on the side could hardly get in the conversation, thinking: This sister is really annoying!

After saying goodbye to the veterans, several veterans enthusiastically sent them out of Zhuangzi.

The carriage clicked into Luoyue City, then turned around a few alleys and stopped steadily.

Xiao Yi personally helped Nangong Yue get out of the carriage, and then Xiao Fei also got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

This bookstore called "Zhuli Zhai" is located deep in the alley and is a bit remote, so there are not many customers in the bookstore.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei entered the bookstore hand in hand, and the strong fragrance of books and ink rushed towards them...

Xiao Fei looked around with burning eyes, and soon picked up a blue book, fascinated by it.

Nangong Yue guessed that Xiao Fei might have forgotten that she and Xiao Yi were here, so she felt a little funny and took Xiao Yi to wander around casually. As Xiao Fei said, this bookstore does have many unique books, some of which are quite precious. There are also poetry collections, music scores, calligraphy manuscripts... It can be said that although it is small, it has all the internal organs. Nangong Yue walked past several bookshelves. , his eyes were suddenly attracted by a book called "Southern Xinjiang Materia Medica", so he picked it up and flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help but look surprised.

This book "Southern Xinjiang Materia Medica" records some unique plants in southern Xinjiang. The author not only drew the appearance of the plants in detail, but also drew their fruits and stamens, and introduced them in detail with text In addition to the appearance and function of the plants, there are some plants that even Nangong Yue, who knows all kinds of herbs, has never heard of.

For Nangong Yue, this was really an unexpected surprise.

If you give it to your grandfather, he will be very happy!

Nangong Yue could almost imagine that her grandfather would not be able to put it down when he got this book. Thinking about it, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but evoke a slight smile.

Xiao Yi knew what Nangong Yue was thinking at the first glance, and immediately ordered Baihui to call the boss.

The boss is over fifty years old. He is wearing a simple green t-shirt and has half-white hair. He looks like a scholar at first glance.

But before Xiao Yi could speak, the boss said apologetically: "Madam, this book is an only copy and is not for sale."

Nangong Yue had long heard from Xiao Fei that the original copies in this bookstore were not for sale, so she was not too disappointed and said with a smile: "Boss, I heard that although the original copies here are not for sale, you can copy them here."

With just one glance, the boss could tell that Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi were either rich or noble. He was still a little nervous at first. A small shop like him was not afraid of meeting customers without money. The most moneyless people would just leave the shop to help him copy. In exchange for books, those high-ranking officials are in trouble. Most of them can't tolerate others saying no to them, and they always use their power to bully others. He is just a small businessman making a living. If the other party insists on buying and selling, he will also Nothing can be done.

Now listening to Nangong Yue’s tone, I knew that the other party was a reasonable person, so the boss felt relieved and said: "Madam, I can indeed copy books for customers here. I only earn a small amount of writing fees, and I also allow customers to Transcribe it here," the boss said with a look of embarrassment, "It's just that this "Southern Xinjiang Materia Medica" not only has text, but also pictures. The text is easy to copy, but the pictures are a bit troublesome. I'm afraid the people here are not good at drawing. No." The question is how can someone with this ability earn a small amount of retouching fees.

Nangong Yue smiled slightly. The paintings in "Southern Xinjiang Materia Medica" were so detailed and vivid, and she knew at a glance that the person who wrote the book had quite good skills. She didn't expect to find anyone to help...

"Sister-in-law!" Xiao Fei came over after hearing the voice at some point, and volunteered, "How about you let me help you draw a picture?" Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue expectantly, thinking: Sister-in-law, for She has done so much, and finally she found an opportunity to do something for her sister-in-law!

Nangong Yue’s eyes lit up and she smiled. Needless to say, Xiao Fei's painting skills are great, and she is very focused in her work. With her helping her paint, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!

"Sister Fei, then I won't be polite to you." Nangong Yue agreed readily.

"Miss Xiao..." The boss looked at Xiao Fei in surprise, cupped his hands, and said warmly, "Long time no see!" Xiao Fei was a regular customer here before. Although the boss didn't know Xiao Fei's identity , but vaguely guessed that her surname "Xiao" should have some relationship with Zhennan Prince's Palace, maybe she was a member of the Xiao clan. And I’m afraid it’s still a close branch...

The boss has seen a lot of people, and he went out to see the world when he was young. Xiao Fei's usual dress looks simple and elegant, but her temperament is not something that ordinary people can cultivate, and the things she uses are even more Noble but not ostentatious, you know that Xiao Fei's family has some foundation.

Xiao Fei nodded slightly to her boss as a courtesy: "Boss, it's been half a year. I went to the capital last year and I just came back..."

The Xiao family who just came back recently... something seemed to flash in the boss's mind, and he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yi. This young man's appearance is really outstanding. I heard that "that one" in the palace is like this...

How is that possible! The boss laughed in his heart, how could such a big shot come to his small bookstore.

"Miss Xiao," the boss asked, holding up his hand, "How about I arrange for you the wing room that you usually use?"

From this tone, Xiao Fei is obviously a frequent visitor of copying books here.

Xiao Yi doesn’t know what expression to make, this sister is really a nerd!

The boss personally led them to an elegant wing and provided them with pens, ink, paper, inkstones, tea and snacks.

So, the three of them got busy inside. Xiao Yi was responsible for transcribing the text, and Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were responsible for drawing the pictures.

The three of them have been busy for nearly two hours, but they have only completed less than a third of it. Nangong Yue is already very satisfied with this progress.

Seeing that the sun had begun to set outside, she said, "Ayi, sister Fei, we'll stop here today. There's no rush to finish the book at this moment. We'll continue copying it when we're free."

Xiao Yi and Xiao Fei naturally had no objections, so the three of them quickly left Zhuli Zhai.

Helping Nangong Yue onto the carriage, Xiao Yi rode with him, heading towards the palace. And just when passing by a busy street, a surprising voice suddenly came from diagonally opposite:

"Brother! You are the eldest brother, right?"

Xiao Yi reined in the reins and followed the sound, and saw a young master in a brocade robe striding out of the Tayun Restaurant opposite. He was in his twenties, obviously older than the one who was seventeen or eighteen years old. Xiao Yi seemed to be a few years older, but he kept calling him brother Xiao Yi.

This strange situation attracted many curious eyes on the street.

Xiao Yi frowned, overlapping the person in front of him with someone in his memory, and said: "Xiao Fanzi?!"

"Xiao Fanzi"'s brows twitched, but he could only nodded with a smile and said: "Brother, it's me!"

Of course Xiao Fanzi has a name. His surname is Yu and his first name is Xiufan. He is the fourth son of General Yu's mansion.

As soon as he finished speaking, several young men in fine clothes walked out of the restaurant, talking in all directions:

"Big brother, really big brother!"

"Brother, I heard you were back yesterday. I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence today!"

"Let's go, brother, we'll treat you to a drink!"

"I still have bright eyes. I recognized my eldest brother at a glance in the lounge on the second floor just now."

"..."

Xiao Yi was in a good mood after meeting old friends after a long absence, as if even their sparrow-like voices were no longer so noisy.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He originally planned to ask them to have a drink together next time, but then he heard Nangong Yue's soft voice coming from the carriage: "Ayi, you go. Sister Fei and I will go back home first."

Now that Nangong Yue said so, Xiao Yi agreed with a smile, gave orders to the driver and the accompanying guards, then grabbed the horse's belly and headed for the restaurant diagonally opposite.

The carriage carried Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei on their way back, with only Zhuzi staying by Xiao Yi's side.

After Xiao Yi got off the horse, the waiter of the restaurant immediately took the horse away for him. A group of young men surrounded Xiao Yi like stars over the moon and entered the Cloud Restaurant. Xiao Yi was about to go up the stairs when he suddenly thought of something and stopped and said: "Xiao Fanzi, I'll ask someone to come over and have a drink with me."

"Okay!" Yu Xiufan also likes to have fun, and since it was Xiao Yi's intention, he naturally responded hurriedly, "Of course the more people there are, the more lively this drinking session will be!"

Several other people also echoed, attracting the inquiring eyes of many drinkers in the restaurant.

Not to mention Xiao Yi, these young masters are all well-known figures in Luoyue City, and they often patronize this Tayun Restaurant. After a while, someone recognized among them the fourth young master from General Yu's house, the fifth young master from Deputy General Liu's family, and the second young master from Huang Changshi's family... Most of them were from famous families in Luoyue City.

Looking at these usually arrogant young masters, they were all surrounding a handsome young master, as attentive and thoughtful as his servants.

Who is this Young Master Zanli? Many people are secretly speculating.

"Zhuzi," Xiao Yi waved to Zhuzi and ordered, "go to General Tian's mansion and call Xiao Hezi to come and drink with us."

"Yes, sir." Zhuzi took the order and left the restaurant.

When all the young masters heard the name "Little Hezi", they suddenly understood the identity of the other party, and they all felt a sense of sadness.

This must be the eldest brother’s new little brother in the royal capital!

That must be the case!

There are also a few young masters who think more. Fu Yunhe, the third young master of Fu from Princess Yongyang's mansion, came to southern Xinjiang with Xiao Yi the year before last. It seems that he should be the "little crane son" in Xiao Yi's mouth. .

They looked at each other, the atmosphere became more lively, and they surrounded Xiao Yi upstairs with laughter.

Yu Xiufan originally reserved a private dining room on the second floor, but there were only leftover dregs of food in it. Of course he couldn't aggrieve Xiao Yi, so he ordered the waiter to prepare a larger dining room, and He generously asked the waiter to serve another table of food and wine, plus ten jars of fine wine.
