Chapter 150 Bookstore
"Master Wei, I will go back first."
After Ma Gu bowed to Wei Xinghe, he walked towards the gate of Wei Mansion.
Behind him, Chief Steward Wei followed with a group of servants, carrying many thank-you gifts prepared by the Wei family.
Originally, Ma Gu refused these gifts of thanks, but he had no choice but to accept them due to the Wei family's insistence.
When the gate of Wei Mansion opened, it immediately attracted the attention of spies from various forces outside.
"They're out! The Wei family's people are out!"
"Who is that? His cultivation aura doesn't seem very strong, but he can even have that Chief Steward Wei accompany him?"
"It's the man who followed the mysterious Xiantian realm yesterday!"
"I recognize him, he's Ma Gu from the Ma family!"
"Why did Ma Gu come out of the Wei Mansion, and was he personally accompanied by Wei's chief steward?"
"Why is he the only one who came out? Where are the Xiantian Realm master and the mysterious boy that the Patriarch and the others mentioned?"
"There are so many things. Where are Chief Steward Wei going with so many servants?"
"Look, they're heading towards the south of the city. Isn't that where the Ma family is?"
…
All the spies were surprised to see Ma Gu walking out of the Wei Mansion accompanied by Wei's chief steward.
Those who recognized Ma Gu's identity were even more surprised.
These spies were not able to witness the battle at the city gate yesterday. At that time, only the strongest people from each force dared to get close and watch the battle.
Therefore, most of the spies were unaware that Magu was also present at the time.
Now, seeing Ma Gu coming out of the Wei Mansion so openly, not only accompanied by Wei's chief steward, but also followed by a string of Wei Mansion servants carrying loads on their shoulders, everyone was extremely surprised.
Seeing that Magu and his group were heading towards the south of the city, the spies followed them.
At the same time, they also passed the news of this scene to their respective forces.
Just as the various forces were undercurrents, Lu Qing had already appeared in front of the most prosperous area of the county with Xiaoyan and Xiaoli.
I saw that the street in front of me was wide and clean, with shops and stalls lined up on both sides.
In the busy streets and alleys, vendors are shouting their wares.
There is a dazzling array of goods and the aroma of food wafting through the air, creating a bustling scene.
"Wow!!"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Xiaoyan couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
This was a scene she had never dreamed of, and the little girl was completely shocked.
Xiao Li, who was standing on Lu Qing's shoulder, also had his eyes wide open at this moment.
It has been living in the mountains since it became conscious, and has never seen such a prosperous scene.
Only Lu Qing remained calm, but there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.
I didn't expect that a commercial street in a county town could be so lively.
How magnificent and majestic would a larger provincial capital or even a royal capital be?
"Okay, stop being in a daze and let's go in."
Seeing Xiaoyan and Xiaoli still having round eyes, Lu Qing found it a little funny.
He patted the two little guys on the head and walked inside.
Lu Qing did not let Xiao Li enter invisible mode.
Now, he no longer needs to be too wary of anyone except those in the Innate Realm.
Naturally, there is no need to keep Xiao Li invisible at all times as before.
Today, let it and Xiaoyan feel the prosperous atmosphere of human beings.
Walking into the commercial street, Lu Qing first bought some snacks for the two little ones.
Xiaoyan got a string of candied haws, and Xiaoli got a bag of fried fish.
The two little guys got the food and started eating it happily.
After taking Xiaoyan and Xiaoli for a walk and satisfying their curiosity, Lu Qing finally stopped in front of a bookstore.
This was one of the reasons why he came out for this trip.
He still knows too little about this world.
As his strength continues to grow, the circles he will come into contact with in the future will surely become more and more high-end.
If you don't prepare in advance, you may suffer a great loss one day.
Books are one of the best ways to understand the world.
I just don't know if this bookstore has the information he wants.
"Brother, do you want to buy a book?"
Xiaoyan asked when she saw Lu Qing standing motionless in front of the bookstore.
"Well, didn't my brother tell you before that there are many interesting storybooks in the city? You can pick a few that you like later."
"Really?" Xiaoyan suddenly became excited.
She can now recognize many words and can barely read some simple articles.
When Xiao Li heard this, his eyes also lit up and he pulled Lu Qing's collar with his claws.
Lu Qing turned around and saw the expectation in its eyes, and immediately said, "Xiao Li, choose too, pick the one you like!"
I almost forgot that the motivation for this little thing to learn to read was that he wanted to read stories by himself.
After getting the promise, Xiao Li's eyes narrowed and he looked satisfied.
"Brother, there are so many books here!"
Xiaoyan exclaimed as she walked into the bookstore.
"Young man, young lady, do you want to buy books?"
The owner of the bookstore had already noticed Lu Qing and the other person.
When he saw them come in, he immediately ran over, nodding and bowing.
There was no other way. The clothes Lu Qing and Xiaoyan were wearing at that moment were specially prepared for them by Madam Wei. The materials used were exquisite and it was obvious that they were clothes that only wealthy people could afford.
Plus Lu Qing and Xiao Yan, one is cute and elf-like, the other has an extraordinary temperament, and they also bring a strange little beast.
So even though he didn't recognize which family they belonged to, the bookshelf owner still didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"Boss, do you have any vernacular novels?" Lu Qing asked.
"Yes, yes!" the bookstore owner said hurriedly, taking Lu Qing to an area and pointing, "These are all storybooks. What kind do you want, young master?"
"It should be simple and easy to understand, with a simple and clear story and educational and inspiring meaning. I bought it for my sister to help her learn to read."
Lu Qing stated his request.
The bookstore owner scratched his head, obviously a little stumped by these requests.
But after all, he was able to run such a big bookstore. After thinking for a while, the boss took out a large stack of books.
"These words should have met the young master's requirements."
Lu Qing picked up two of the books and flipped through them. He found that they were all short stories. The sentences were simple and easy to understand, and the stories were quite interesting. He didn't know which scholar wrote them in his spare time.
"That's right." Lu Qing nodded, "Xiaoyan and Xiaoli, you can pick your own, and the ones you like can stay."
The two little guys had been impatient for a long time. After hearing Lu Qing's words, they stepped forward and carefully looked through the books.
The bookstore owner was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
Xiaoyan is not a problem. Although she is young, there are many young men and women in wealthy families who can learn to read and write at this age.
But the sight of a little animal flipping through a book in a very serious manner was something he had never heard of or seen before.
Lu Qing didn't care about the boss's expression. Seeing that the two little guys were fascinated by choosing storybooks and it seemed that they couldn't finish for a while, he walked to the other side to look for the books he wanted.
However, this time, he activated his special powers before slowly searching on the bookshelf.
