However, on the second day, there were more book patrons in these three libraries.

At the same time, some gossip also began to spread throughout the various official residences in Chang'an City.

"Wang Shilang, you have heard that some time ago, some libraries have started to buy the number and arithmetic books I was studying!"

"Well, how is this possible? Could it be that Zheng Zhongcheng was deceived by thieves?"

"Wang Shilang was joking. Who dares to deceive me, Mr. Zheng, about books. Yesterday, the housekeeper of my family bought a few books and brought them back, each of which was only a hundred pennies. Moreover, even the rumors that His Royal Highness learned that The Enlightenment Alphabet, my housekeeper also bought several copies!"

"really?"

"Wang Shilang just take a look!"

"Thank you Zheng Zhongcheng for letting me know!"

……

"Dr. Wu, I heard that a new Tianxia Library has opened in Dongshi!"

"Huh, what a bold tone, how dare you name it after Tianxia! Tomorrow, Dr. Ben will go to see it for himself. Who dares to open a library with this name?"

……

"Mr. Qian, I heard the news that there is a library selling numbers and arithmetic books?"

"Oh? Which library?"

"Hui Qian Langzhong, in the Tianxia Library in Dongshi!"

……

at the same time.

In Dongshi, opposite Tianxia Library.

There are several other libraries lined up.

They are Zheng's Bookstore, Cui's Bookstore, Lu's Bookstore...etc.

Anyway, all the powerful families in the Tang Dynasty will open a bookstore here.

As for the newly opened Tianxia Library on the opposite side, the shopkeepers of these bookstores were also taken aback at first.

Not only does this unknown bookstore not know the rules, it is also very arrogant.

Therefore, on the first day of opening, these shopkeepers only reported the situation to the managers of the major families in Chang'an City, and then they all leaned at the door, waiting to see the jokes in the opposite library.

A new library in the district wants to be special in front of such a big family bookstore, so as not to let you get out of Dongshi in disgrace. These shopkeepers feel sorry for their bookstore name.

Sure enough, on the first day, the bookstore was extremely deserted, with only a few customers.

On the second day, these shopkeepers were all taken aback.

The business of this Tianxia Library seems to be doing well unexpectedly.

At the end of the day, there were more bookstores than all of them.

Moreover, many book readers are familiar with what they read.

After inquiring, this library mainly sells two books, but it dares to sell one hundred articles.

Now, these shopkeepers couldn't help being full of anger.

"This newly opened library is simply blatantly slapping me in the face!"

"Brother Zheng is right. If you don't teach this library a lesson, the family behind me will definitely be ridiculed!"

"In a moment, shall I go to that library to find out?"

"Hey, shopkeeper Wang is right. Although we rely on the family, we can't bully others. It's better to be courteous before fighting!"

"Oh, don't worry, don't worry!"

"Well, what's the best trick for Shopkeeper Cui?"

"As a foreign library, I should let him come to see me, how can I condescend to see him?"

"Huh? Exactly!"

Saying that, all the shopkeepers couldn't help but smile reservedly.

Immediately, a shopkeeper called a shop clerk, and went to the opposite side to call for someone.

A mere foreign force dares to put eye drops on the books of five surnames and seven sects, it is simply reckless.

However, after drinking a cup of hot tea, a hint of impatience flashed across the faces of these shopkeepers.I've been waiting for so long, why hasn't the shopkeeper of the opposite library come over yet?

The shelf is so big?

thinking.

Sudden.

A shopkeeper found his buddy running over anxiously.

"Shopkeeper, something serious happened!"

"Why so panic?"

The shopkeeper, who looked over 40 years old, couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Boss, the library opposite has a lot of bookstores here!"

Seeing this, a trace of panic flashed in the shop assistant's eyes, but he still bit the bullet and replied.

"Ok?"

After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

"Where is the treasurer of the library opposite?"

asked the shopkeeper.

"Go back to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper of the Tianxia Library said that he has to receive guests, so he has no time to come!"

said the man in a low voice.

"what?"

"No reason!"

"I just don't know how to live or die!"

Immediately, all the shopkeepers couldn't help but grinned.

"That library has a lot of customers?"

As he said that, the shopkeeper saw his buddy with a hesitant expression on his face. Obviously, he still had something to say, so he couldn't help frowning and asked.

"There are a lot of people returning to the shopkeeper!"

The guy quickly replied.

"What else is there, let's talk about it together, what does it look like hesitantly?"

asked the shopkeeper.

"Go back to the shopkeeper, in that library, the current library is full of officials in Chang'an City!"

The guy quickly replied.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, all the shopkeepers stopped and looked at the guy in disbelief.

"Have you seen everything clearly?"

"Returning to the shopkeepers, the villain can see clearly, many officials, even the little ones have seen it!"

The guy quickly replied.

"how can that be?"

These, all the shopkeepers, frowned.

"Could it be that there is a certain powerful force behind this library?"

"No!"

……

Chapter 61 The Shopkeeper, No Books!

"So many officials went to that library, why didn't I get any news?"

An older shopkeeper muttered to himself with a puzzled face.

Although they are just small shopkeepers of a bookstore, they have close ties with officials in Chang'an City, no matter how big or small they are.

Moreover, among other things, at least half of the officials in Chang'an City are members of the family behind them.

"No, the old man has to go and have a look!"

Suddenly, the old shopkeeper slammed the table and stood up.

"Treasurer Cui?"

On the side, everyone looked at the shopkeeper Cui in surprise.

"Treasurer Cui, why is this? In Chang'an City, I wait for the status of a few bookstores, and still use it to be afraid of a small library that doesn't know the height of the sky?"

"Exactly, no matter how hot the library opposite is, it's only because of those two books that sell for [-] coins. After those officials have bought these books, they will definitely not go to this library again."

"At that time, I just need to wait for the shopkeeper of the library on the opposite side to come over and make tea for me in person to apologize!"

"Hey, none of you are wondering what those two books are? Who wrote them?"

Shopkeeper Cui asked slowly.

"This?"

Suddenly, all the shopkeepers were stunned.

Although they are proud, they are still bookstore shopkeepers, and they are still very curious about the new books.

"Treasurer Cui, then I can't go in person, call a buddy, just go over and buy a few copies!"

"Exactly!"

"That's fine too!"

After thinking for a moment, Shopkeeper Cui slowly sat down.

soon.

A few books that were brand new and smelled of ink were placed in front of everyone.

"So bound!"

Everyone was the shopkeeper of the bookstore for many years, and their faces were gloomy just by taking a look.

"Everyone, the book with such a beautiful binding is really not produced by your home bookstore?"

"How is this possible? How could our family sell such books at a low price and open another library?"

"Could it be the ones in Jiangnan?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, everyone was surprised, and then full of doubts.

"Do you think this book is familiar?"

Suddenly, a shopkeeper muttered something to himself in a low voice with some hesitation, took a copy of "Number Arithmetic" and read it.

At the same time, upon hearing this, some shopkeepers couldn't help but think of something.

Hastily bowed his head and looked up.

"Number arithmetic..."

"Everyone, my Wang family bookstore still has some things to deal with, so Wang will leave first!"

"My Zheng Family Bookstore seems to have something to deal with, let's go first!"

"My Lu family..."
