Chapter 219 Bookstore, Twenty Students
Chen Fan smiled all over his face: "Okay. Are you free tomorrow?"

Zhongshuling nodded with a smile: "I'm free. How are you getting ready?"

"I have prepared some commonly used books. Please come to the study to take a look." Chen Fan led Zhong Shuling to the children's study.

Zhongshuling picked up a stack of papers and flipped through them, surprised: "They are all the same?"

A group of dolls nodded vigorously, and said loudly in unison: "We printed it!"

"How did you print it?"

The children looked at Chen Fan in a daze, is it fair to say?
Chen Fan smiled: "We have carved many seals."

The corner of Zhongshu Ling's mouth slightly raised, he didn't say anything, and flipped through the books at hand.

"Your store doesn't need to hire people to copy books?"

"Yes." The children answered in unison.

Zhang Ci walked in, and everyone talked about the preparations and business ideas of the bookstore.

Early the next morning, everyone went into the city in a carriage, and Zhong Shuling and Tang Chaoying also went into the city with them.

The location of the bookstore is on Changxin Street, which is relatively lively.Everyone entered the backyard through the side door. The butler Feng An led three waiters in the courtyard, and the Liu family's helpers were also present.

"Congratulations to Mr. Feng, Mr. Tang, I have met you, young lady." The guys saluted and greeted in unison.

Tang Chaoying smiled: "Feng Steward has worked hard these days."

Feng An bowed again: "Thank you for your compassion, sir, it is my duty to share the Lord's worries."

"Shall we go to the shop?" Tang Chaoying looked at Zhang Ci with a smile.

Everyone entered the shop and opened the door.Seeing that the store was open, the people on the street looked over curiously, and some people had already run to the door of the store.

"What is this house?"

"Why isn't there even a plaque?"

"Is there paper? Is there a book? The Four Treasures of the Study."

"I saw people coming in and out a while ago, and I couldn't figure out what kind of business they were going for. Now the door is finally open."

Someone with sharp eyes recognized Zhongshuling and Tang Chaoying, and saluted and greeted, and people from afar rushed over after hearing the sound.

The voice of the buddy Wen Xiao is quite crisp: "Welcome everyone to come and have a look at the store, we will have an event in the store later."

"What activity?" Someone immediately asked.

Wen Xiao said with a smile: "After watching for a while, everyone is familiar with the store, and then we will start activities."

The people listened, but poured into the store, or stopped or walked, looking at the items and furnishings in the store.

The Tian family is very wealthy. The store is very large, three rooms wide, nine meters deep, and the backyard is also spacious.The main entrance of the store faces east, and the south is the book area; half of the middle part is the lobby, half of which displays pens, inks, papers and inkstones; the north is the reading area and tea area, with tables, chairs and sofas.

In addition to the main entrance, Chen Fan made large glass windows facing the street on the north and south sides to enhance the lighting in the store. Through the glass windows, passers-by can vaguely see the bookshelves and the books on the shelves; scene.Perhaps, they will yearn for it and arouse their desire to read.

Some people have already sat down, adjusting various sitting postures, looking at the pens, inks, papers and inkstones, or the scene outside the window.

Some people like the partitions in the store. Looking at the calligraphy and paintings, those who can read some characters read aloud, which arouses envious eyes from others, and they become more proud and read aloud.

For those who got stuck while reading, the children read it next to it. After those people thanked them, they read it again, and then continued to read the new content.

The two adults watched the scene with smiles on their faces.

After half an hour, the store was almost full of people, and many people surrounded the street in front of the door.Many scholars also came, and all the schools seemed to have adopted loose policies, acquiescing to students to participate in the activities.

The guys brought the two tables to the door, and put a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.Zhongshuling and Tang Chaoying walked to the door.

Wen Xiao opened his voice to warm up the scene: "Neighbors, today is the first day of trial operation of our study. We are very honored. Two adults came to inspect the study. This is Mr. Feng, the secretary of the court, this is Mr. Tang, the head of the warehouse department of the household department."

The people saluted neatly and said hello, and the two adults sent warm blessings to the people.

The children walked into the store from the backyard with paper rolls in their hands. People stepped aside and watched them walk out of the store in amazement, placing the paper rolls one by one on the table at the door.

"What's written on these scrolls?" People asked eagerly, guessing.

"This is "Thousand-Character Essay", exactly one thousand characters. It tells various aspects of knowledge and is suitable for children's enlightenment. Let me introduce a few sentences to you first."

Several children of the Chen family took turns to explain the meaning of the poem line by line, and everyone listened with great interest.

"Hey, why didn't you talk about it?"

"I'm listening hard." People urged anxiously.

Wen Xiao said with a smile: "Today, I will introduce a hundred characters to everyone. If you are interested, you can buy a copy of "Thousand Characters" and go home and read it."

Many people immediately said they wanted to buy a copy, and some people found the scroll on the table and continued to ask what was on the scroll.

"On each piece of paper is a part of "Thousand Characters", one hundred characters. Anyone who can recite a chapter of "The Analects" on the spot will get a copy, and the two adults will give you gifts on the spot."

The eyes of the common people turned to those scholars. Some of the students were excited, some hesitated, and some beat their chests and feet, annoyed that they didn't memorize them well.

A student was the first to shout out: "I will recite it, I will recite it."

He walked up to the two adults, bowed respectfully, and said in a trembling voice, "Student Min Chengli, I have met the two adults."

Zhongshuling smiled, and gently encouraged: "Student Min, don't panic, let's get started."

Min Chengli took a deep breath and began to recite "Xue Er" in "The Analects of Confucius": "The master said: 'Learning while practicing it from time to time, isn't it also a matter of saying? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? People don't know but are not stunned. Isn't he a gentleman?'... Don't worry about people's ignorance, but worry about people who don't know."

The more he recited, the smoother he became, and the more emotional he recited. When he finished reciting and saluted, the audience burst into warm applause.

Zhongshuling nodded with a smile, picked up a scroll, and handed it to him with both hands, Min Chengli quickly took it with both hands: "Thank you, sir!"

The other students were encouraged to memorize one by one, "Wei Zheng", "Ba Yi", "Li Ren"... A total of [-] students participated in the stage, and they recited [-] chapters of Analects.The people were so patient that they all listened intently there.

Don't talk about whether they can understand or not, these students recite with cadence and emotion, and listening is also a kind of enjoyment.

Tang Chaoying took a step back, and Zhong Shuling handed over twenty gifts.Those twenty students were flushed with excitement, and the other students were envious.

A group of guys appeared on the stage holding a cardboard box, and everyone looked at it curiously again.
