The husband is actually time-traveling!

Chapter 31 Longnan Street

Because she is going to visit the national teacher, her outfit today is very formal.

The luxurious and exquisite carriage is also unique to Princess Wuxuan. There is a small flag hanging in front of the carriage with the word "Xuan" flying around.

The entire carriage is made of high-quality wood, about five meters long and three meters wide. The wheels are made of fine steel, with dozens of thin iron supports on the inside, and the outer edge is wrapped with tough animal skin.

Compared with the previously commonly used wooden wheels, the durability of this kind of wheel is second to none, and the biggest advantage is the smaller bumps.

But this car is also too conspicuous.

Although the road at the entrance of Shengxiantang is wide, it is the famous Longnan Street, bustling with people coming and going, such a big carriage is enough to pass.

The three tall horses are also easy to startle passers-by.

In the car, Wan Yanjing took off her complicated hair and put on ordinary dresses, and asked Lao Xu to park the car on Yuxing Street, which was some distance away from Longnan Street, and planned to walk there with Gan Tang.

It was still morning at this time, Longnan Street was not busy, but there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

Wan Yanjing was wearing a veil, and beside her was the demure and handsome Gan Tang, and behind her were two guards, Huo Shan and Huo Feng, who were favored by merchants everywhere.

"The new Liyunchun Tea Soap is specially added with the essence of pear blossom and oolong white leaf, which is moisturizing and refreshing, take a look~"

"New glazed lanterns, handmade by masters, the first order of this month, don't come here again..."

"Ma'am, there is a new Ting Feng Xiang from the shop, calm down, you can come and smell it."

Wan Yanjing looked while walking, feeling that she hadn't visited for ten days, and a lot of novel things appeared.

There are different costumes on Longnan Street, not only black-haired and black-eyed Han people, but also many blond-haired and blue-eyed foreign people.

Some of these foreign people speak Chinese very well, and at first glance, they also have some characteristics of Han people on their faces. Most of them are ancestors who have lived here for a long time.

They were born and bred mixed-race children who also had household registration in Shanghai.

There are also foreigners who have only come here in recent years. The characteristics of foreigners are more obvious. They speak Chinese in a strange way with an accent.

There is an unremarkable store in the middle of Longnan Street, but there are many people going in and out.

Most of them are scholars and students, and there are also school-age children and maids and servants sent by the lady of the noble boudoir to purchase.

"Wennan Bookstore."

Wan Yanjing stopped and decided to go in and have a look.

From the outside, the bookstore looks very small, but when you go inside, you find it has a hidden hole.

The corridor of book ladders circles directly from the first floor to the top of the third floor. The ones that are near you are the most popular ones, while the ones that are less popular are placed upwards.

The store manager is a slovenly old man, wearing a pair of glasses and sitting behind the desk, holding an ancient book, reading while eating melon seeds.

There's a clerk and a cashier busy, a hands-off shopkeeper with nothing to do.

Wan Yanjing has read many storybooks produced by Wennan Bookstore, but this is the first time she has come here in person.

The clerk could tell at a glance that Wan Yanjing and the others were of extraordinary status, and greeted them warmly.

"What would Madam want to read, there are new booklets, and there are also famous articles compiled by the teahouse in the past ten days."

Wan Yanjing raised her head, took a panoramic view of Wennan Bookstore's unique decoration with a little novelty, and asked casually, "Is there a third volume of "Story of the Stone"? It's been almost a year, is Master Cao still okay?"

"Hey, maybe we have to wait. Master Cao has traveled far away, and the return date is uncertain, so we can't get in touch."

Although a little lost, it was not unexpected.

The clerk saw Wan Yanjing's disappointment and was about to leave without the whereabouts of "Story of the Stone", so he couldn't help but had an idea: "Madam is Master Cao's book fan? You might as well tell the address, if there is news about the new chapter, we can give you Send it to the house."

Wan Yanjing's eyes lit up, there is actually a door-to-door delivery service now?

"Nanfang has newly opened a Shunfeng Escort Bureau. In addition to large items, it also helps the bosses to send some small orders. This is the book list of our bookstore this season. Madam may as well take it back and read it slowly. If you are interested, you can send someone a tick. Just send it to Shunfeng Escort. Shunfeng Escort has small strongholds in every street."

This is strange.

Wan Yanjing looked through the beautifully made book list, the title, introduction, and highlight of the book were all there.

Gan Tang took the book list from her, and the group walked out of Wennan Bookstore.

Although there is no whereabouts of the third part of "The Story of the Stone", it seems to be a good harvest to have this book list.

Next to Wennan Bookstore is a deep alley, and the sound of children reading can be heard from the alley.

Wan Yanjing walked inside curiously, and was surprised to find that it was actually an Enlightenment Hall specially for young girls.

The gatekeeper was very accommodating, Wan Yanjing and Gan Tang went in easily, while Huo Shan and Huo Feng waited outside.

Entering the small alley, there is a small courtyard only a few feet long, and there are a few simple houses in the small courtyard.

The teacher is a 30-year-old female gentleman, and the receptionist is also a female woman.

"Ma'am, do you have a young girl who needs to be enlightened? One coin a year for those under ten years old, and two coins a year for those over ten years old."

The mother-in-law gave Wanyanjing a detailed introduction to the situation of the school. She was a little puzzled. Wanyanjing and the others seemed to be either rich or expensive. They didn't seem to have the money to hire private schools for their children. I don't know why they came to their small school. .

But she didn't panic, there was a powerful force behind Longnan Street, no one would dare to make trouble after all.

One dollar a year, which is really not expensive in Shanghai.

Wan Yanjing muttered, and walked out of the school seemingly calmly, but actually her mood was very ups and downs.

Standing on the Qingshiban Road of Longnan Street again, something seemed to boil in her heart.

The school opened without any scruples in the alleys of the bustling city. It looks simple, but it has all internal organs.

The alley is full of women and young girls, but Wan Yanjing, as an "outsider", can come in and out freely, and the woman is not worried about being smashed.

This school looks ordinary, but in fact it is extremely extraordinary.

In a place where girls are required to stay out of the gate, it is surprising that there is such an ordinary girls' school.

"These stores are getting more and more powerful now, and they can come up with such a method." Holding the book list, Gan Tang also received samples, event announcements, etc. from countless other stores along the way.

Yes.

Wan Yanjing also sighed.

When she married from the shogunate and came to Shangjing, the bustling and interesting Shangjing opened her eyes.

Never-before-seen soaps, glass cups, mirrors that can illuminate people's fine details, and powerful guns and cannons.

She lamented the wonder of Qin, but at the same time was deeply afraid.

The convenient and diverse life makes her addicted and full of hope for the future.

"Hey, is that the house? Princess, you said Shengxiantang."

Huo Shan's voice broke Wanyanjing out of her contemplation, she rubbed between her brows and squinted her eyes.

The big signboard of Shengxian Hall is waving a few hundred steps away.

Just as he was about to continue walking, someone suddenly chased after him while shouting.

Wan Yanjing looked back and found that it was Huo Qiu from the mansion.

"Master, I found you, please return to the mansion quickly, the prince is awake!"
