Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Same Two Books
Don't ask her why she know......s? Well, the true dragon's breath, and then from the age, appearance, and those rumors, it is not difficult to deduce a thing or two.
What I want to say is that this true dragon qi is not only possessed by emperors, but also by ordinary princes. This is also the reason why it is not possible to determine who will be the successor of the next emperor just by looking at the atmosphere. However, Jiang Xuanjun, the crown prince, has a stronger true dragon aura than an ordinary prince, which is related to his current status as a quasi-successor.
Seeing that Jiang Xuanche's dress today is worth a lot of money, it is just the dress of an ordinary rich child, obviously because he doesn't want to reveal his identity.
Cui Zhiwei and him met for the first time, and if someone recognized each other, it would make people suspicious. However, it seems that she scolded this person as a banquet Jingnian before, so she hurriedly apologized to the other party, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." After thinking about it, it was the other party who grabbed the book she wanted to read first, why did she apologize?
Jiang Xuanche was also a little embarrassed, he was really a little anxious just now, thinking that the book that Bai Shi sold today had the same name as the book here, so he came here to find it. When he saw that Cui Zhiwei was about to take the book, he was afraid that the other party would take the lead, so he subconsciously made an impulsive move.
"I'm sorry. He saluted Cui Zhiwei, "It's reckless." But this book is very important to the next, I wonder if the young lady can cut her love?"
Why does a book, a book with the same name as Bai Shi's new book, attract the attention of a prince? Although he was full of doubts, Cui Zhiwei didn't want to get mixed up, so he said with a smile: "I haven't read any book yet, and I don't plan to buy it. ”
"Thank you, Miss. In order to say thank you, whatever the young lady buys here today will be counted on the bottom head. ”
Cui Zhiwei refused, "Childe said this, it's not good for me to buy anything." "It's like she likes to take advantage of others.
"There is no other meaning in the bottom. ”
"I understand Childe's kindness, and you don't owe me anything, so stop there. "The meaning of alienation is obvious.
"Thank you again. Jiang Xuanche took the book and left.
"What's going on?" After he left, Cui Zhili walked up to the front and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing.,It's just that that boy happened to pick the same book as me.,I hope I can give it to him.。。 Cui Zhiwei was afraid that the wall had ears, so he didn't tell Cui Zhili about his doubts and Jiang Xuanche's identity on the spot. Then changed the subject, "Have you picked the right medical book?"
"I picked a few copies. Not to mention, the books here are quite complete. Cui Zhili answered and asked Cui Zhiwei, "What about you?"
"I've only looked at a few old and broken books here, and I'll have to pick and choose. To be honest, being disturbed by Yan Jingnian and Jiang Xuanche one after another, she had already lost the fun of buying books. However, I still had the patience to choose a few more books here, and in addition, I picked some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone before I went to the first floor with Cui Zhili to settle the bill.
"Two guest officers, a total of ten taels of silver. "It's the shopkeeper of this study who settles the accounts.
"Ten taels?" Cui Zhili was a little surprised.
"What's too much?" the shopkeeper was surprised, "Or, the villain will calculate it for the two of you?" In fact, those old books can be given away for free, but they can't be sold in our store. ”
"No, no," Cui Zhili hurriedly said, "I think the price of pen and ink alone is enough for ten taels." ”
The shopkeeper explained with a smile: "This young master doesn't know, today other houses are selling new books written by the white master, but our family does not have them, so for the sake of promotion, all the items bought in our house today will be half price." ”
"So that's the case!" Cui Zhili was still a little regretful, he knew that it would be better to buy more. If you add a few more things that will lose the face of their Hou Mansion, you will simply give up.
It wasn't until he walked out of the study that Cui Zhiwei talked to Cui Zhili about the reason for this incident.
"Do you think all the items in their house today are really half price?" Cui Zhiwei asked Cui Zhili.
"Isn't it?" Cui Zhili was puzzled, "If not, why would they give us such a bargain?"
"If so, why didn't Xiao Er mention it to us when we entered the door?
Cui Zhili nodded, "That's right." He turned his head to look at Cui Zhiwei again, "Then why?"
"It had something to do with an old book I saw. Then Cui Zhiwei told Cui Zhili what had just happened.
"Zhiwei, do you suspect that the book you just saw is related to the new book sold by the white master today?"
"That's right. Cui Zhiwei nodded, "And I suspect that the third prince thought of something, so he didn't care about his identity and grabbed the book with me." It is also for this reason that he feels that he owes me a favor, so he will settle the account for us. It's just that after she refused, she fulfilled that intention in this way, which is considered a clear two.
Cui Zhiwei's guess was right, at this time, Jiang Xuanche was holding the old book and the new book written by Bai Shi and comparing it. Standing behind him was Cui Zhiwei, the little second they saw as soon as they entered the door.
Jiang Xuanche put down the two books after reading them roughly and rubbed his brows. Xiao Er hurriedly poured him a cup of new tea, and asked cautiously, "Master, is there anything wrong with these two books?"
"Of course there is a problem. Jiang Xuanche smiled, "Except for the differences in individual words, the content of these two books is almost identical. ”
"How can this be?" Xiao Er was really taken aback, "Didn't you say that the "Xuanshu Sutra" was written by Master Bai Bai after four years of painstaking efforts?
Jiang Xuanche took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I'm afraid I have to ask Master Bai." ”
"But the subordinates feel strange that the white master has never been to our study, let alone seen this book. "They had only recently cleaned up the storeroom, picking out useless books from the dusty boxes and putting them on the shelves. According to preliminary estimates, this book has not been dusted for ten years, and it is not much closer. The boxes were never touched.
"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this prince had read the beginning of the new book written by Master Bai and felt that he had seen it somewhere, he would not have thought that these two books would be the same. "Jiang Xuanche has read almost all the books in the study. He has an excellent memory, and he almost never forgets it, so he thought of a book of the same name and asked Xiao Er to find it, and Xiao Er said that those old books were either disposed of or put on the shelves and sold at a low price.
When Jiang Xuanche found the shelf, he happened to see Cui Zhiwei wanting to take the book, so he lost his temper and went over to snatch it.
"What is the master going to do next?"
"Let's wait and see, and then talk to the white master when we have the opportunity. ”
