Chapter 31 Longnan Street

Because she is visiting the Imperial Master, her outfit tomorrow will be very formal.

The luxurious and exquisite carriage is also unique to Princess Wuxuan. A small flag hangs in front of the carriage, with the word "Xuan" in flying colors on it.

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 outside, and the outer edges are wrapped in tough animal skins.

Compared with the wooden wheels that were commonly used in the past, the durability of this kind of wheel is not only improved, but the smaller bumps are the biggest advantage.

But that car was too conspicuous.

Although the road at the entrance of Shengxian Hall is wide, the famous Longnan Street there is so bustling with people coming and going that it is difficult for such a large carriage to handle it.

Three tall horses can easily scare passers-by.

Wan Yanjing undressed her complicated hair in the car and changed into ordinary clothes. She asked Lao Xu to park the car at Yuxing Street, which was some distance away from Longnan Street, and planned to walk there with Gantang.

It was noon at this time, and Longnan Street was not crowded with people, but there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

Wan Yanjing wore a veil, and was accompanied by Gan Tang, who had a demure temperament and a delicate face. Behind her were two bodyguards, Huo Shan and Huo Feng. She was favored by merchants everywhere.

"The new Pear Yun Spring Tea Soap is specially added with the essence of pear flowers and oolong red leaves. It is moisturizing and refreshing. Take a look~"

"The newly made glazed lamp is made by the master's legs. It's the first one of this month. This opportunity must not be missed before it comes back..."

"Madam, the store's newly released Tingfengxiang, calm down, you can come and try it."

Wanyanjing walked and looked around, feeling that since she hadn't come to visit in the past ten months, there were many new and novel things.

Longnan Street has different costumes. There are not only black-haired and black-eyed Han Chinese, but also many blond and blue-eyed foreigners.

Some of those foreigners speak Chinese very well, and at first glance their faces have some Han characteristics, but most of them have ancestors who have lived here for a long time.

Are they native-born and mixed-race children with household registration in Beijing?

There are also outsiders who have just arrived in recent years, and their characteristics of foreigners are more obvious. They speak Chinese in a strange way with an accent.

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

Most of them are not scholars, but there are also school-age children, maids and boys sent by ladies from high-ranking boudoirs to purchase goods.

"Wennan Bookstore."

Wanyan stood still and decided to go in and take a look.

The bookstore looks very small from the outside, but when you go inside, you will find that it is a completely different place.

The book staircase spirals directly from the first floor to the top of the third floor. The places nearby are the most popular ones and the less popular ones can be found there.

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

There was a waiter and a cashier, and he was an idle shopkeeper.

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

The waiter could tell at a glance that Wan Yanjing and others were of extraordinary status, and came to greet them enthusiastically.

"Ma'am, what do you want to read? There are new story books and famous articles compiled by Xun Tea House."

Wanyanjing raised her head, taking in the unique decoration of Wennan Bookstore with a little novelty, and asked casually: "Is there a third part of "The Story of the Stone"? It's been almost a year, is Master Cao very well?"

"Oh, why don't you wait a minute? Master Cao has traveled far away, and his return date is uncertain, and they have not been in contact."

Although a little disappointed, it was not unexpected.

The waiter saw Wan Yanjing's disappointment that there was no Dongluo of "The Story of the Stone", so he asked to leave. He couldn't help but have an idea: "Madam, can you be a fan of Master Cao? You might as well tell me the address. If there is any news about the new chapter, we can

I'll deliver it to your house."

Wan Yanjing's eyes lit up. Now there is a door-to-door delivery service?

"A new Shunfeng Escort Agency has been opened in Nanfang. In addition to large items, it also helps deliver small orders to the bosses. So, if they have this season's book list in their bookstore, Madam, you might as well take it back and read it slowly. If you feel interested, please make a check and send it to someone.

Just send it to Shunfeng Escort Agency. Shunfeng Escort Agency has small branches on every street."

That's not surprising.

Wan Yanjing flipped through the beautifully crafted book list, including the title, introduction, and highlights.

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

Although there is no Dongluo in the third volume of "The Story of the Stone", this book list seems to be a good harvest.

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

Wan Yanjing curiously walked inside, and was surprised to find that there was an enlightenment hall specifically for young girls.

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

Entering the small alley, there is a small courtyard several feet long. There are several simple houses in the small courtyard.

The teacher was a female teacher in her thirties, and the one who was cleaning the room was also a woman.

"Madam, is there a young girl at home who needs enlightenment? One denarius a year for those over ten years old, and two denarii a year for those above ten years old."

The mother-in-law introduced the situation of the school in detail to Wan Yanjing. She was a little confused. Wan Yanjing and others seemed to be rich or noble. It was not like they had no money to pay for private schools for their children. I wonder why their little

School.

Bu Nao didn't panic. The forces behind Longnan Street were so strong that no one would dare to cause trouble.

One penny a year is really cheap in Beijing.

Wanyanjing murmured and walked out of the school seemingly calmly, but in fact her mood was ups and downs.

Standing on the bluestone pavement of Longnan Street again, something seemed to be boiling in her heart.

The school was opened carelessly in the alley of the bustling city. It looked simple, but it was well-equipped.

There was no mother-in-law and young daughter in the alley, but Wan Yanjing, as an "outsider", could come and go freely, and the mother-in-law had no fear of being ruined.

That school seemed ordinary, but in fact it was extremely extraordinary.

In a place where women are required to stay at home, it is surprising that there is such a girls' school for ordinary people.

"Now those stores are getting more and more powerful, and you can think of all kinds of ways." Gan Tang held the book list and received samples, event announcements, etc. from countless other stores along the way.

No.

Wanyan Jing also sighed.

She was married from the shogunate and came to Beijing. The prosperous and interesting Beijing opened her eyes.

There are soaps and glass cups that have never been seen before, mirrors that can reveal people's details, powerful muskets and artillery.

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

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

"Hey, is that the place? Princess, I'm talking about Shengxian Hall."

Huo Shan's voice broke Wanyanjing out of her thoughts. She rubbed her brows and squinted her eyes.

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

Just as he was about to continue eating, someone suddenly shouted and chased him from behind.

Wan Yanjing looked back and found Huo Qiu in Fu's house.

"Master, I've found you. Please return home quickly. Your Majesty is awake!"
