History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 17

Because of He Jinyu's incident, there has been a bit of jitteriness in He's residence these two days.Lin Lang originally planned to go to the library to find some books to read, but she dared not go out easily these two days.

The He family passed on the fragrance of books and ink to the family, but in fact there is no shortage of books in the mansion.There are [-] to [-] volumes of books in Mrs. He's library, but because there are still letters from the Mrs. He, as well as rare books and famous objects that he has painstakingly collected over the years, no one is easily allowed to enter.

The Qin family and He Wenzhan are also book lovers. There is a dedicated study room in Lanling Courtyard, in which there are thousands of books, all neatly organized.However, seven or eight hundred of them are classics, and the remaining two or three hundred are serious history books, which is really not to Lin Lang's liking.

She was really bored, so she ran to He Wenzhan's study in the outer courtyard, looked around but didn't find anything desirable, so she pestered him and acted like a baby, "Daddy, can you take me to the study? "Old Master He's collection of books is comprehensive and comprehensive. Lin Lang has been in it once or twice before, and her eyes are very greedy.

He Wenzhan looked at the little one lying on his knees, a little doll around the age, with delicate and white skin, soft and shiny black hair scattered on his shoulders, looking at him with big moist eyes, which made people's hearts soften instantly.He thought about it, and finally couldn't bear to disappoint his daughter's pitiful plea, "I'll ask the old man what he means."

Lin Lang jumped up happily, clapped her hands and praised "good daddy."

After a while, He Wenzhan came back and said: "The old man said that you can only look for books in the outer room on the first floor, and ask Mama Zhang to accompany you in. Don't be naughty inside, and listen to Mama Zhang, especially you are not allowed to touch the lamps and candles. Those books are all It's your grandfather's treasure, so don't touch it."

Lin Lang cheered happily, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Daddy, I'll be out soon!"

The old man's library was a treasure house in Linlang's mind, and Zhang's mother was already waiting outside, so Linlang followed her to the library, and when she saw the forbidden token placed at the door, she felt much better.

The library building is made of pine wood, and the inside is full of bookshelves, and the light is dim.Mother Zhang carefully held the glazed lamp, and advised, "Miss, be careful." The things inside are all things that are easy to catch fire. If sparks are accidentally caused, it's not a joke.

Lin Lang knew this truth, so she followed her inside decently, ran to the front of the bookshelf she was thinking about to pick.The books here are all subsets. To the old man, these books are not as precious as classics and history, so they are placed outside, but to Linlang, these are her favorite things.

For fear of dust and moths on the books, books are placed layer by layer in the cabinet with moxa leaf lime inside.After a cursory look, there is a small wooden sign hanging on the door of the cupboard, with the title of the book hidden inside written on it.

Lin Lang chose several books and asked Zhang's mother to take them out first, and then ran to another aisle.It was near the window, and the light was bright in broad daylight. She excitedly chose the book and just opened a page when she heard someone say: "Sixth Sister."

The voice appeared abruptly, and in a blink of an eye, she saw a figure of Hei Kuikui standing behind her, she was startled, and hurriedly backed away, almost bumping into the bookcase.Raising his eyes, the backlit face is handsome and handsome, who is it not Xu Lang?

Lin Lang stroked her chest in a panic and panted, "Second Brother Xu, you scared me to death! Are you a ghost? There is no movement at all!"

Xu Lang showed a rare smile, "So timid? You're so scared."

"You appear so quietly, anyone will be scared to death!" Lin Lang frowned and complained.The old man's study room is an important place in the mansion, even if she asked for permission to come in, how could she expect that there would be others here?However, it was really surprising that Xu Lang could appear here, so he raised his head and asked, "Why is Second Brother Xu here?"

"Come to say hello to the old man, and borrow a few books to read." Xu Lang said casually, as if this matter was nothing ordinary.

Lin Lang felt that the old man was really eccentric. Her grandchildren were not allowed to enter without permission, yet Xu Lang was allowed to hang out like this.She promised to go out soon, so she pursed her lips and continued to look for books.Behind him Xu Lang said leisurely: "Monk Daoqing's fan is pretty good. I carry it with me for the past two days, and it's convenient for keeping cool."

ah?Lin Lang turned to look at him, and sure enough, he took out a fan and played with it in his hand.What does it mean to take her things with you, Linlang said angrily: "Second brother Xu has already enjoyed it, please return the fan to me."

"Isn't this fan given to me as a thank you gift? When did Sixth Sister become so stingy?"

Lin Lang was dumbfounded after hearing this, and felt that his face was really thick, but it would be ugly to ask it back, after all, Xu Lang had helped her a lot.She bit her lip and said nothing, Xu Lang said: "But this gift is too expensive, I will give my sister an inkstone to make it up later, we will reciprocate, everyone is happy." He put away his fan, and walked to the next bookshelf.

Here Lin Lang is holding the book, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.
