Chapter 1031: The Opening of the Library (I)
"Library? What kind of place is that, the new subject of Guozijian? Zhou Xing saw Hechu Junxing rushing in, and couldn't help but be very surprised at the moment, it is said that the other party should be in the Guozijian class now, and what is the library he said?
"Don't ask anything, hurry up and follow me, otherwise it's too late and you won't be able to catch up!" He Chujun didn't explain, and after speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xing, and then pulled him and ran out.
Although Zhou Xing didn't know what was going on, and he was very puzzled in his heart, he knew that He Chujun would definitely not pull him out for no reason, so he didn't ask any more questions, and followed the other party to run towards Guozijian at a trot.
Chongyi Fang is not far from Chongren Fang, where Guozijian is located, and there is only one Wubenfang in the middle, and He Chujun and Zhou Xing are also young, and the speed of their legs and feet is fast, so after a while, the two ran to Guozijian, but He Chujun did not take him to Guozijian, but came to a very large building not far from the gate of Guozijian.
What Zhou Xing didn't expect even more was that the prisoners who were supposed to study in Guozi Prison were now all gathered in front of this building, and there was a long queue at the door, and they all had excited expressions on their faces, as if they were looking forward to the things in the building.
"Library? Is this the library? At this moment, Zhou Xing finally saw the plaque on the building in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised, judging from the name of the library, this should be a place to store books, similar to a library building, but the main function of the library building is to preserve books, and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter, why are so many people surrounded now?
"Haha~, this is the library, there are many books in it, but the books in it are not forbidden for others to read them, but allow us, the prisoners of the country, to borrow them at will!" He Chujun pointed to the library very excitedly at this time and introduced that he had just arrived in Guozijian today, and he was informed of the news of the opening of the library, but the prisoners of Guozijian heard that there were a large number of books to read casually, and they all had no intention of reading, and even some of the prisoners in the prison also came.
"Can only the inmates go inside to borrow books?" Zhou Xing was originally very happy, but when he heard He Chujun's words, he felt as if he had been splashed with a basin of ice water, cold from head to toe, and his face showed a look of disappointment.
"Although this library is under the name of our Guozijian, it is not run by our Guozijian, it is said that it is directly responsible for the palace, and it is also the idea of Li Xiu, but now the library has just opened, so it is only open to the inmates of our Guozijian for the time being, but I have inquired, and it will be open to everyone after a while." He Chujun explained with a smile again.
"It was the idea of the colt, but I still can't get in now!" Zhou Xing said that he was still a little disappointed in the end.
"Haha~, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." He Chujun laughed again at this time, and then pulled to the corner in front of the library door and said, "Hongda, there are too many books in the library, although there are special people in it to manage, but there are still not enough people, so they want to recruit some people to go in to do things, and there is not much work, mainly to sort out books, clean and the like, although the monthly salary is not much, but it is only busy in the morning and evening, and you can sit down and read books at other times." ”
"Brother He, do you mean to let me go into the library to do something?" Zhou Xing's eyes lit up when he heard the other party's words, although he was a scholar, he was born in a poor family, and he didn't have the frame of a scholar, and the library was full of books he had dreamed of reading before, so he was willing to do whatever he did.
"Yes, as it happens, there is a person in the library who is an old acquaintance with me, if you want, I will take you to him at once, and let him arrange for you to work inside." He Chujun spoke again at the moment, he knew that such a good opportunity, Zhou Xing would definitely not refuse.
Sure enough, when Zhou Xing heard this, he immediately saluted Hechu Junshen and said: "Thank you for your help, if the younger brother has a bright future in the future, he will definitely repay him!" ”
"Hahahaha~, what did our brother say about repaying or not repaying?" He Chujun patted the other party on the shoulder and laughed, and then pulled him into the door of the library.
After entering the library, I immediately saw a wide hall, the hall was full of long tables, and there were Guozi prisoners sitting everywhere reading books, and behind the hall, there were rows of tall bookshelves, and the books that exuded the fragrance of ink were neatly placed on it, Zhou Xing also saw so many books for the first time, and couldn't help but be excited and his mouth was dry, and he even wanted to immediately pounce on the books and learn all the knowledge in the books.
Although there were many people in the library, it was very quiet, because there were signs everywhere in the library that said "no noise", and behind the counter at the door, there were two middle-aged Confucian scholars with serious faces, and their eyes were constantly looking around, and if someone did not obey the rules of the library, they had the right to kick people out.
He Chujun took Zhou Xing to the front of one of the middle-aged people behind the counter, and then introduced to the other party in a low voice: "Brother Shi, this is what I said before Zhou Xing and Zhou Hongda!" ”
The middle-aged man saw that He Chujun also showed a gentle smile, and then stood up and led them to a small room next to him, and then said with a smile: "Chujun, don't be polite to me, since you brought the person, I will definitely arrange a good errand for him!" ”
This middle-aged man's name is Xu Zhao, his father has a good relationship with He Chujun's father, so he can be called a world friend, He Chujun also introduced Xu Zhao to Zhou Xing at the moment, Xu Zhao is now one of the managers of the library, and it is easy to arrange Zhou Xing to come in, not to mention that Zhou Xing's talent is good, and all aspects also meet the requirements of the library.
At that moment, Xu Zhao took Zhou Xing to register, mainly to record his basic information, such as name, place of origin, age, etc., and then issued him a wooden card, with a big "book" written in front of the wooden card, and a number behind it, if he needs to borrow a book, he doesn't need to write his name at all, just write the number behind the brand, like He Chujun, these prisoners have also made a brand, and the number behind each brand is unique to facilitate the record.
After getting his number, Zhou Xing was even more excited, and then Xu Zhao took him around the library and introduced his work, because the books in the library were placed in different rooms according to different categories, and Xu Zhao arranged for Zhou Xing to be responsible for sorting out the books in the category of law.
However, just when Zhou Xing was familiar with the affairs at hand, the originally quiet library suddenly became a little noisy, which made him turn his head curiously, but his eyes couldn't help but widen in shock.
