Blind Date in Time and Space

Chapter 350 The Little Lady’s Date (Part 2)

Chen Ji found a restaurant with a good atmosphere and ordered rice soup with rice and fish, sweet and sour short ribs, pickled bullfrog, etc. He also ordered two frozen fruit platters and ate the meal for more than half an hour.

After taking a rest, Chen Ji drove them to a nearby park, turned on the air conditioner in the car, and squinted in the car for half an hour.

Refresh yourself enough and go directly to the library.

In other words, this is a large bookstore with a construction area of ​​more than 40,000 square meters. The first to fifth floors are bookstores with various types. There are coffee shops, teahouses, book bars, etc. on the sixth floor, and there is a cinema on the eighth floor.

Entering the bookstore, Chen Ji saw the little lady's black and white eyes, which were wide open. She first looked at the huge number of books on the bookshelf in surprise, then raised her head and looked up at the crystal lamp hanging in the middle.

The layout of the building is similar to that of a shopping mall, except that the shops have been replaced by bookshelves. People who come here to buy books sit on the sofas in the aisles and read leisurely. It is a little less noisy and a little more fragrant than the shopping mall.

"Do you like Shumin here?"

Chen Ji asked with a smile.

When the little lady nodded in reply, she said excitedly: "Husband, there are so many books here! How about we buy some back later?"

She looked over expectantly.

Chen Ji said seriously: "There is a lady at home who loves books. How can I buy some?"

Xia Shumin's cheeks flushed.

"Let me see, how about I pay for my husband to open a better bookstore than this one for my wife so that she can visit it every day?"

"Uh, no, hee hee."

Xia Shumin shook her head and refused with a smile, "Such a big bookstore requires a lot of people to take care of it, and I don't know how to take care of it. Sister Wan is not free, and she is too tired... If you want to browse the bookstore, just come here~"

Then, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Chen Ji: "Husband, I made a big study room in the west garden of my home, where we can read books, watch movies and drink tea together. Well, that's it. The original attic was opened up, and I forgot to mention it before... Sister Wan and Sister Xiaowan both like it very much."

She was a little embarrassed at the end.

"As long as you like it, just do it."

Chen Ji said it didn't matter and asked: "Where's the one in Dongyuan? How do you plan to decorate it?"

"...Leave it to your father-in-law and parents-in-law?"

The little lady thought for a long time before trying to speak. After speaking, her face became even more shy.

She had asked her husband before. Her future parents-in-law are now living in the countryside, and they will definitely come to live with them if they have children in the future.

Chen Ji had a strange look on his face. The little lady had not even gotten married yet, but she was already thinking about her future parents-in-law. She was really... so virtuous.

The two maids following behind covered their lips and smiled, but they also thought it was time to think about this.

"Master~!"

Xia Shumin looked shy and angry when she was looked at like this. Chen Ji looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he lowered his head and kissed her rosy cheek.

Then she answered her: "Your future parents-in-law will buy another apartment in the community or in a nearby community, so Dongyuan will also be decorated according to Shu Minqi's preferences."

After a pause, Chen Ji said: "When the house is decorated and we officially move in, they will come to Shanghai, and you will be able to see them then... But don't worry, my parents are very good people."

"……Um."

Xia Shumin came down feeling a little uneasy, but it was still a step for a woman to go through before she got married, to meet her parents-in-law.

"It will take about two months to renovate, and then we can move into the new home. Well, it's the West Park, and it will take another half a year for the East Park."

Xia Shumin smiled.

"Can!"

Chen Ji took her happily and wandered around in this big bookstore.

On the first floor were books with high ratings on a certain website. Xia Shumin obviously had no interest in these. She just took down various books on success and psychology, flipped through them, and put them back.

On the other hand, Luzhu bought a copy of "Guide to Life in the Tang Dynasty". After reading it twice, he showed it to his young lady. The three masters and servants stood under the bookshelf, chattering and discussing what was written in the book.

Chen Ji heard the three masters and servants laughing secretly, as if they were saying that many contents in the book were false, which was not the case at all.

Well, they are ancient people and they have the right to speak.

——Although they come from the Zhao Kingdom in the martial arts era, most of their lives are similar.

After buying this book, Chen Ji continued shopping with them and soon reached the fifth floor.

This is the Ancient Literature District. After Qianjin, the governor of Yongkang County, came here, she felt like a fish in water.

She was able to read various classical Chinese texts that were troublesome for modern people, without any stagnation.

Chen Ji looked at her slender back and saw how much she couldn't put it down for the ancient documents here. He couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Shu Min still preferred reading the Four Books, Five Classics and Confucian classics.

She learned modern knowledge just to adapt to the life here. Her hobbies are still writing poems and essays, doing embroidery and painting some meticulous paintings in her spare time.

"Bianjing Menghualu?"

Xia Shumin found a book that interested her. Because it was placed relatively high, she turned around and asked her good husband, Chen Ji, to help her get it.

After her husband handed the book to her, he slid it on her smooth and fair face, and brushed it with his fingertips, which made Xia Shumin feel a warm feeling. She raised her head and glanced at her smiling husband, feeling ashamed. Lower your head:

"Husband, please don't...it's not too late yet, go..."

Her voice was soft and pleasant, and her shy look made Chen Ji almost want to hug her right now.

Xia Shumin didn't dare to read the attachment, so she opened the book and looked at it, then nodded slightly: "Hmm, it is indeed a book from the late Song Dynasty. It is really well written."

Later Song Dynasty is what she calls the world of Zhao State.

Chen Ji suddenly remembered the poem "Looking back while leaning against the door, sniffing the green plums", and asked her with a smile: "Weren't you amazed by Li Yian's poems before? Do you want to buy a copy and take it home."

"ah!"

The little lady exclaimed softly, "Shu Min actually forgot." She frowned again, "I originally wanted to hear my husband read Yi An's poems occasionally, but my husband is too busy on weekdays and doesn't like poetry very much. It seems that Shumin still has to come and see for himself."

"Who said I don't like poetry?"

Chen Ji tapped the tip of her straight nose with his fingertips, which made the little lady wrinkle her nose. She opened her mouth to bite it, but then she immediately remembered that she was outside now, so she shyly avoided it.

"Let's go buy a book of Song Dynasty poetry." Chen Ji said with a smile: "Tonight, and when I have free time in the future, Shu Min will read and talk poetry to me, and teach me, an unlearned husband, how to write poetry. How about it?"

"Why is my husband so ignorant and incompetent?" Xia Shumin's face was filled with shame, and she looked at Chen Ji with affectionate eyes.

"Does that mean you don't study the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"Well, my husband doesn't study the Four Books and Five Classics, and I just don't study ABCD~"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Ji took her little hand, brought "Bianjing Menghualu", and went with the little lady to find a collection of poems from the Song Dynasty.

It was not easy to find a specific book in such a large bookstore. Fortunately, the two of them, plus the two maids, were not in a hurry and wandered around the bookstore slowly. After an hour, they finally found a copy of "Song Ci".

There are poems by Li Qingzhao in it, and at the front of this book of Song poetry, there are profiles of several of the most famous poets and lyricists in the Song Dynasty.

Li Qingzhao is among them, alongside Su Shi, Lu You, and Xin Qiji.

"Li Qingzhao, also known as Yi'an Jushi, was a female poet of the Wanyue School in the Northern Song Dynasty."

Xia Shumin read about the life of this talented woman, then opened the book to look at the previous introduction. She couldn't help but admire: "Ji Shi Yi An is really amazing! He is as famous as Su Zizhan and Xin Jiaxuan."

There was no Li Qingzhao in her world, so she had never heard of this talented woman.

However, the first time Chen Ji read to her "Leave shyly, leaning against the door and looking back", she immediately fell in love with Li Qingzhao's poems and thought Li Yian was a fresh and lively female poet.

"..."

After Chen Ji heard her guess, he couldn't help but laugh.

Where does Li Qingzhao have anything to do with freshness and liveliness?

When she was a girl, she "often remembered the sunset in the creek pavilion, and I was so drunk that I didn't know my way back." I drank so much that I fell into the pool, and I even wrote the "Preface to the Picture of Horse Fighting", which is a game similar to chess and flying chess.

Compared with this female poet, his little lady is much fresher. Her hobbies are reading books and writing novels with great imagination. There was once a novel that caused a sensation in the whole county.

congratulations.

"Master~?"

Xia Shumin glanced at him suspiciously, couldn't hold back her curiosity, and opened the page of Li Yian's poem. The moment she saw it, she felt like she was struck by lightning:

"Looking and searching, deserted and miserable."

The fourteen-character refrain was like a sword made of wind and frost, which pierced her heart. She deeply felt the desolate and lonely situation of the female poet.

Chen Ji noticed her appearance.

Standing there in a daze, holding the book, looking at this song slowly, falling into a state of random thoughts?

"Miss, miss!"

Luzhu quickly pushed her and explained to her uncle: "Miss always likes to be sentimental when reading. Whether it's the destruction of the country or the death of the family, or the poet being demoted, the lady will shed tears for it, and she will be happy with her pen when she reads the happy part. Really are!"

Chen Ji looked at the little lady and couldn't help laughing when he saw her shy look.

Her emotions were so rich that she would cry when reading poems and articles. Chen Ji could imagine her in her small study, wiping her tears while reading.

Well, one of them is watching Dream of Red Mansions.

"alright."

Chen Ji put away the Song Ci in her hand, "Let's read it when we get home!"

Xia Shumin lowered his head in embarrassment, and suddenly asked: "Sir, why did the layman Yi An change from "sniffing green plums" to being deserted? Is he a Khitan barbarian?"

"Indeed."

Chen Ji nodded.

In ancient Xia Dynasty, the northern nomads have always been a major threat to every dynasty and every generation. The Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall, the Han Dynasty Huo Qubing, the Tang Dynasty Turks, the Song Dynasty Jin Liao, etc.

"The country is unlucky and the poet is lucky." Chen Ji said with emotion: "It was precisely because the mountains and rivers were broken that Li Qingzhao was homeless for the rest of his life. She was able to write such poems in a difficult and lonely situation."

After a pause, Chen Ji looked at her and said with a smile: "If you put it this way, it's because I missed Shu Min and allowed such a talented woman like Shu Min to come to the earth, and her poems have been reduced a lot."

"No way."

Xia Shumin did not agree with her husband's words and said softly: "Good poems are rare. Shumin has gained knowledge with the young master. After Shumin has achieved academic success, he will write down his experiences in other worlds... Writing poems is naturally possible!" "

Chen Ji laughed, and the talented girl Xia Shumin was very confident.

"Husband." She added: "If Li Qingzhao had a choice, I think she would not choose to write poems like "Leng Leng Qing Qing" and become a great poet in Lao Shizi, alongside Xin Jiaxuan, but would choose An An Wen. Live a stable life and write some works that celebrate spring and autumn."

These words are a response to the misfortune of the country and the poet's fortune.

It also indirectly expresses Xia Shumin’s thoughts:

She is willing to follow her husband to live on earth, but is not willing to stay in Zhao country for her "knowledge and talent".

It is true that she has continued to receive the influence of ancient prose in Zhao Guoguo, and her future achievements will definitely be high.

But she was still willing to come to Earth with Chen Ji.

"Well, as Shu Min's husband." Chen Ji stretched out his hand, hugged her slender waist, and whispered to her: "I will definitely not let Shu Min write 'deserted'!"

Xia Shumin's cheeks turned red, and her heart was indescribably sweet, which made the maid following behind her very happy to see:

The young lady has a good relationship with her uncle, and she is good with them.

Xia Shumin held "Song Ci" in her arms, and Chen Ji carried about ten books, plus the ones held by Green Bamboo and Cuizhu, totaling more than twenty books. The four of them left the bookstore together.

"Where else does Shumin want to go?" Chen Ji asked her.

"How about going home? Have dinner with Sister Xiaowan and the others."

Her face was a little red. Once she got home, she would have to sleep with her husband at night...

Chen Ji denied it, "Sister Wan and the others are working overtime tonight and won't go home for dinner... Let's go and watch a movie and then have dinner afterward."

The younger daughter-in-law Xia Shumin obeyed obediently.

Even looking forward to it.

After returning to the car, more than twenty books were put in the trunk. She picked up a book of Song poetry and read it slowly. There were many books in it that she had read.

Chen Ji asked her to read the poem to him while reading it.

He has always loved listening to the little lady's poems that were melodious, clear, melodious, and full of emotion.

Perhaps it is precisely because Xia Shumin can write poetry and writes very well that her understanding of poetry makes the poems she reads particularly pleasant.

"I think back to Gong Jin's time, when Xiao Qiao got married for the first time and looked majestic and heroic..."

Amid the little lady's poetry and the smiling voices of the two maids in the back row, Chen Ji drove them in a Mercedes-Benz to a shopping mall where an IMAX theater was located, and drove the car into the underground parking lot.

Surprisingly, Chen Ji saw several people holding selfie sticks filming the parking lot.

"Huh?"

Xia Shumin put down Song Ci and asked curiously: "Husband, what are they doing?"

Chen Ji jumped out of the car, and these people were filming him from a distance, and they could vaguely hear them explaining, "I am Cao, such a young man? He is driving a Maybach S680. It seems that this man is the owner of the car. He's not the driver... I kind of want to interview him. Brothers, what should I do? Can't I get there?"

"..."

Chen Ji understood, it turned out to be self-media.

After taking a look around, it was no wonder that the self-media came. There were so many luxury cars in the parking lot of this shopping mall, and sports cars could be seen everywhere.

After thinking about it, Chen Ji ignored those people, helped Xia Shumin out of the passenger seat, and walked to the elevator with the two maids.

A voice came from behind, saying that a handsome man paired with a beautiful woman was enviable.

Chen Ji felt very comfortable. He glanced at the little lady beside him and found that her cheeks were slightly red with embarrassment and she looked quite happy. She held his hand tightly with her little hand.

Chen Ji was moved, lowered his head, kissed her, and pulled her into the elevator.

Behind me came the wailing sound of dog food.

Entered the elevator, went to the fifth floor of the shopping mall, and went straight to the cinema.

"What do you want to watch? This one is about Avengers. It's from overseas. It's like a fight between gods and monsters."

Chen Ji introduced them to the three masters and servants. Xia Shumin shook his head and refused to see anyone from abroad.

In the end, she chose Chang'an Thirty Hours, which was more than two hours long.

Chen Ji bought two cans of popcorn and a bottle of Coke each and took them into the theater.

Yes, very few people.

Before the movie even started, Chen Ji took his little wife into his arms and asked her to hold popcorn in her silky hands and feed it to him.

Green Bamboo sat beside him, smiling secretly and discussing the movie in a low voice, not disturbing the uncle and the young lady.

"Husband..."

Xia Shumin's face turned red with embarrassment and she didn't dare to look up from her embrace. She didn't look up until Chen Ji's movie started.

"Wow, miss, was Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty so prosperous?"

"It seems to be fake. There are too many lights. There was a curfew in the Tang Dynasty. Was there a Lantern Festival?"

"It's a little fake, but it looks good!"

Chen Ji listened to the discussion between the master and the servant, and felt very good. Who can experience such interesting things as holding an ancient rich lady in his arms, watching a movie with her, and comparing ancient scenes?

Xia Shumin secretly took a look inside the theater. In the dim light, she saw many men and women being intimate, with women nestling in the arms of men, similar to her.

I guess this is what the earth is like.

"Husband~"

Xia Shumin took the initiative to come closer, her bright red lips pressed against Chen Ji's lips, and she said softly: "It's great that Shumin can meet her husband."

Chen Ji was a little surprised. Why did she suddenly say this?

"Why did Madam say this?"

"Hehe, watch a movie... Husband, look, there are a lot of lanterns on the river, and our Shangyuan Festival in Yongkang County is similar. How about we go watch it together next year? Well, call Sister Shangwan and the others, and we can all go watch it together~"

The little lady was in high spirits, so Chen Ji naturally agreed.
