14-year-old Wei Yi outside the episode

At the beginning of May, the weather has gradually become hotter.

Rong Jian was sent by the emperor as an imperial envoy to the northwest border to inspect the repair of the frontier defense city. When he left, he took Rong Wenying with him, saying that he wanted him to see the style of the border and gain insight and a heart.

Rong Wenying was going, and Xiao Ru'er wanted to go too. Rong Jian thought that there would be no danger along the way. Although it was inevitable to suffer, it was also good for the child to suffer, so he finally took Xiao Ru'er with him. around.

Because the schedule was not in a hurry, they set off in April and did not come back to the capital until September or October. Min Xiang was the only one left in the palace.

Rong Jian originally wanted to bring Min Xiang with him, but Min Xiang didn't want to go. He wanted to open a fur shop and was preparing for it.

Moreover, he had been on and off before, so he didn't like the bumps on the road in his heart, so he didn't want to go.

Rong Jian thought of his poor health, and although the journey was not in a hurry, it was inevitable that the journey would be exhausting, so she refused to let him follow.

When Rong Jian was not in the palace, and the two children were not there, Min Xiang was more free and cared more about the shop, and even went to sit in the shop often.

His Zemu Bookstore is already well-known in the capital because of its large opening and the sale of some rare books.

It was the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the owner of the shop had to give money and gifts to the shopkeepers for the festival, which was also the rule of the business.

The red envelopes were prepared early in the morning, and he brought his servants to deliver them in person, along with the zongzi and salted eggs made in the palace.

The shopkeeper and the guys all came to thank him. Everyone gathered together and just listened to Min Xiang's instructions. Min Xiang said a few words of encouragement, but he didn't say much.

Compared with a pure businessman, he still has a heavy bookish spirit, so he is not harsh on those who work below him. Although he follows the rules, he doesn't like to lecture others.

After Min Xiang dealt with the matter, he didn't want to go back to the palace for a while, so he started reading in the bookstore.

The clerk brought him a chair, and he sat in the back of the bookstore and flipped through the newly published geography and scenery chronicles. The sun was getting stronger outside, but the bookstore was still very cool.

Min Xiang was fascinated by it, and only when he was kicked in the foot did he recover from the world of books.

Raising his head, he saw a young man with a face as white as jade and peach blossom eyes, so handsome that the sunshine outside the door paled.

Seeing this young man, Min Xiang was taken aback for a moment, he knew who he was almost instantly.

Because he looks so much like his sister.

Wei Yi likes to read books. Besides, at home, there is no other entertainment besides reading, so there is a huge demand for books. The Zemu Bookstore is a place he likes to visit because there are more books here. And there are quite a few rare books, although the price is a little higher compared to the small book stalls, but the environment here is good, and when he has money, he doesn't care about the higher price.

When he entered the bookstore, he went straight to the shelves of books such as geography, scenery and miscellaneous notes, paying no attention to anything else.

Because he saw the book he liked, he happily took the book in his hand, and saw another book he had always wanted, and without paying attention for a moment, he kicked the foot of the person sitting on the chair beside him.

Wei Yi quickly took a step back, and also looked at this person.

The man also raised his head to look at him.

When Wei Yi saw this person, he praised him in his heart, thinking that this person is really good-looking, with a fair face, beardless, handsome and handsome, and his eyes are like ink like smoke.

Wei Yi nodded and smiled at him, and said, "My lord, I'm sorry just now, I accidentally kicked you."

Min Xiang smiled and shook his head, and said, "It's okay. The books here have always been read by very few people. I didn't expect you to like them so much. It's because of my destiny. I also like to read this kind of books."

Wei Yidao, "It's a short story book, and many people read it, but I think Fengwu Zhi is more interesting. Like me, I can know the customs of other places without leaving the capital. I think it's very good."

Min Xiangdao, "It's similar to me. I like to know the scenery of various places, but I don't like traveling so much. It's just right to read these books."

Wei Yi said, "Don't you like traveling? I really want to go out for a walk, but I'm still young, and my family won't allow me to go out."

Min Xiangdao, "When I was your age, I also thought about traveling all over the world. After I really went out and walked around, I don't want to go out anymore."

Wei Yi was very surprised, "Why?"

Min Xiang smiled and said, "Probably because I can't bear hardships. It's unbearable to eat and sleep in the open air. Even if you don't eat and sleep in the open air, you will be tired even if you ride a horse, and the bumps in a carriage will be uncomfortable. It's better to take a boat, but you need a boat. Small boats are enough."

Wei Yi said, "That's how it is. I haven't traveled far, so I don't know that there are such sufferings. Only those who have experienced these sufferings will understand. Brother, where have you been?"

Hearing that he changed from the son he originally called himself to the eldest brother, Min Xiang was a little dazed, thinking that according to blood seniority, I am your uncle.

However, even though his nephew was right in front of him, Min Xiang couldn't recognize him.

He asked a clerk to bring a scorpion, let Wei Yi sit down, and told him what he had seen and heard in the places he had been to, and Wei Yi listened very attentively.

In this way, it was noon.

Min Xiang was hungry, so he asked Wei Yi, "Young master, if you don't mind, come and have lunch with me."

Wei Yi just came back to his senses, looked outside the book shop, and saw that the shadow of the sun had indeed moved outside the eaves, it was already noon.

He hesitated a little, and said, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. I didn't tell my family that I couldn't go back for lunch. It seems that I have to go home. I'm sorry."

Min Xiang said, "It's nothing, it's just that you and I are very congenial, so I really want to get to know you."

Wei Yidao, "I don't dare to get acquainted. My elder brother is a literary and talented person. It is my blessing to know you today."

Min Xiang smiled and said, "What kind of talent is talented? I'm just a businessman who runs a shop."

Wei Yidao, "It's not that businessmen are incapable of talent. Even scholars, most of them are just pedantic people. It's rare to see such wonderful people as eldest brother."

Min Xiang was delighted by what he said, thinking that the second sister used to be a rigid character who was not very talkative, but she didn't expect her son to be very interesting.

Min Xiang said, "You are flattering me."

Wei Yi smiled and said, "Brother is very happy. When I come to this shop to buy books in the future, I just want to give it cheaper."

Min Xiang froze for a moment, then smiled again, "You are such an interesting person. As long as you come in the future, I will ask the shopkeeper to give you a discount. But I think the young man's clothes are not ordinary, do you still care about the little money? .”

Although Min Xiang said this, he actually knew that Wei Yi, as the son of Mr. Wei who had always been a quiet man, probably didn't have much spare money.

Wei Yi was not embarrassed by what he said. He was still very calm and said, "This summer dress is a new one just made at home, and it's just the first day I wear it. It's usually not so bright."

Min Xiang didn't keep Wei Yi to have dinner with him, but asked his servants to make red envelopes and red-dyed salted duck eggs for him.

Wei Yi had no choice but to accept it, thanked him again, and took the few Fengwuzhi that Min Xiang had given him back.

If it were an ordinary person, Wei Yi would naturally not accept things from others, but after chatting with Min Xiang, he really liked him, and in the end it was hard to refuse, so he had to accept it.

Wei Yi missed the owner of the Zemu Bookstore for a long time, so that he came here often, but he never met him again after that.

After asking the shopkeeper, he learned that their boss seldom came. Wei Yi felt very sorry, and then gradually forgot what happened that day.
