Xu Nian quickly ran over to ask, and soon found out the answer.
"Your Majesty, the bookstore mainly sells books that young women like, so it only serves female customers. When I inquired, the girl in the shop said that there is a difference between men and women, so as to avoid gossip."
Bobo nodded: "I see!"
Xu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Master, when I was inquiring about information, the girl in the bookstore told me that there is a bookstore not far away that only serves male customers."
Bobo became interested: "Okay, let's go see what this bookstore that only serves male customers is like."
The bookstore wasn't far away, and they arrived in no time. Bobo glanced inside and saw that there were indeed quite a few people. He had been to the bookstore before, and it was rare to see so many people at this time of day.
Bobo and the others went inside.
Invited today, I dressed naturally and appropriately, which, in the eyes of the owner of Wensi Bookstore, made me seem like a distinguished guest.
In fact, not only was he dressed smartly, but more importantly, he had an extraordinary aura, looking like someone who had come to deliver money.
The shopkeeper quickly came over to greet them.
"Is this your first time here, gentlemen?"
Bobo didn't speak, but Fuqing said, "Yes, shopkeeper, does this bookstore have any rare or unique books?"
Fuqing also studied, but he read more military books and practiced martial arts. He felt that since there were so many people in the bookstore, it must have something unique about it. The most unique thing about the bookstore was that it had rare books!
For scholars, encountering a rare and unique copy is indeed the most precious thing, and Fuqing's experience can be considered a valuable lesson.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Gentlemen, our shop doesn't have any rare books, but we do have some interesting stories. If you're interested, why don't you take a look?"
Bobo looked around at the crowd. Although Bobo was hardworking, he was still unhappy about the large number of people in public.
Xu Nian could sense it and wanted to refuse: "Shopkeeper, it's too much trouble. Let's talk about it when there are fewer people."
The innkeeper immediately understood their concerns: "If you gentlemen feel that this place is not quiet enough, you can go to the backyard. There is a glass room and a tea room there where you can sit down and rest."
Bobo and the others were even more confused when they heard this. How could a bookstore have so many different kinds of things to offer?
Seeing Bobo's expression, Xu Nian knew he was interested, so he said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, shopkeeper."
"No need to trouble yourself, no need to trouble yourself." You'll have to pay money anyway.
Although glass rooms are nice, not everyone is willing to spend the money. Most young masters from wealthy families would buy the books and take them home to read. The money earned from the special features of glass rooms is just that.
Bobo and the others went to the glass room at the back. This glass room was definitely different from the glass room of Wensi Bookstore, which only received female customers. The style of the oil paintings inside, including the flowers and plants, were different and more in line with the aesthetics of men.
Although Bobo didn't find it particularly refreshing after entering, she still found the decor quite pleasant.
As for the glass room, his mother's palace already had one, so he naturally didn't find it novel. Moreover, the flowers and plants inside were rare varieties.
The focus is on rare and exotic flowers and plants.
Zhang Tingyu and Fuqing had often followed Bobo around the Empress's quarters since they were young, so they had naturally seen Yunrong's glass room and were not surprised.
The shopkeeper was surprised to see that the young men in the glass room showed no surprise or even astonishment. He had been quite impressed when he first saw the glass room, but the young men in front of him were completely at ease, as if they were used to it.
The shopkeeper originally had some ulterior motives. After all, he dealt with rich kids every day and had received many admiring glances from them. Suddenly encountering a group of different "people" made him feel rather uncomfortable.
It's quite complicated anyway.
Naturally, that sense of superiority disappeared.
They saw through the shopkeeper's intentions but didn't point them out, as that's human nature.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any books you could recommend? Our young masters can't just sit around doing nothing."
The shopkeeper quickly came to his senses and said, "It was my fault for being negligent. Gentlemen, please wait a moment while I go and select the books."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he left. Just as he left, a servant came in to bring tea. The group was indeed a bit thirsty, and after taking a few sips, they found the tea to be rather strange.
"What kind of tea is this?"
Bobo has tried many kinds of tea, but this kind of tea is really rare.
Before the servant had even left, he said, "This tea is a Chinese herbal tea specially prepared by the master from a doctor at the clinic. It contains many medicinal herbs. Although it is made from herbs, it is not bitter when brewed and does not have a medicinal taste. It can not only reduce internal heat and clear away heat, but also tastes good. If you like it, you can take some back with you when you leave."
Bobo didn't mention bringing anything back. If he wanted to drink, he could just tell Xu Nian, and Xu Nian would prepare it.
What do you think of this tea?
Fuqing wasn't a connoisseur of tea, but he gave his most direct impression: "It's very thirst-quenching and not bitter at all."
Zhang Tingyu remarked, "The aftertaste is sweet, which is quite rare."
He had drunk a lot of tea, but this was the first time he had tried Chinese herbal tea, and the taste was indeed acceptable.
Xu Nian quietly called the servant who was pouring tea out, but what he said remains unknown.
The shopkeeper returned quickly, carrying a lot of books. He didn't seem inclined to introduce them, but simply put the books down and said, "Gentlemen, please take a look. If you have any questions, please send someone over to let me know."
