Shang Wanyan is looking for the person surnamed Tao, a partial disciple of the Xunyang Tao branch, when he was very young, his parents were gone, and he took his sister to Jindu to join his uncle who was a Beijing official, who knew that when he arrived in Jindu, the uncle who was a Beijing official was imprisoned for offending King Jin.

Tao Munan and his sister had already spent all their savings along the way, and they didn't go back to Xunyang, so they had to stay in Jindu, relying on the ability to repair books, and begging for a living in a small bookstore, barely making ends meet.

Shang Xizhou didn't bring anyone with him, and went to the small alley in the west of the city that Shang Wanyan said to find someone alone.

The houses in the small alleys in the west of the city are dilapidated, there are people from all religions and nine streams, and they may be robbed by people when they walk on the road, and it is a place where fish and dragons are mixed. Most of the people who live there are also poor.

Although Shang Xizhou was wearing brocade clothes, he was born tall and big, his eyes were bright, and he was not a good person at first glance. Naturally, no one dared to come forward to embarrass him.

While quietly observing the environment in this area, he asked the person who peeked at him to inquire about the news of the Tao brothers and sisters.

When he really inquired about the fact that the Tao brothers and sisters lived in this area, the expression on Shang Xizhou's face became a little subtle.

Yuan Niang came to Jindu later than him, and she had never even heard of this small alley in the west of the city, how did she know about Tao Munan?

Before he could figure out an answer, he had already arrived at the place where passers-by pointed him out, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old lady with a yellow face and thin muscles, a patched jinghai cloth skirt, and a thin bamboo strip digging something in the gap of the bluestone slab at the door.

Shang Xizhou stopped to watch, but the little lady didn't notice him, ******** deal with the things in the gap of the bluestone slab, took out a stick of incense for a long time, and finally took out a copper plate.

The little lady happily threw away the thin bamboo strips, wiped and wiped the copper plate with her sleeve, and then looked up and saw Shang Xizhou staring at this side, the smile on her face froze suddenly, with some bitterness, and stretched out her hand holding the copper plate: "Is this money dropped by the son?" ”

Shang Xizhou shook his head, and then saw that the little lady breathed a sigh of relief, quickly retracted her hand, put away the copper plate, and then smiled embarrassedly at Shang Xizhou: "Let the son laugh." ”

She was not afraid of life, and when she saw that Shang Xizhou's clothes were incompatible with this dilapidated place, she asked again: "Is Childe lost?" ”

"I'm looking for someone." Shang Xizhou said what he meant, "Are you the little lady of the Tao family?" ”

"Exactly." Tao Zhu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "I don't know if the son is ......"

You've come to the right place! Shang Xizhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I am Shang Xizhou of Wuwei Houfu, I heard that Brother Ling Tao Munan has the ability to repair ancient books, I got a real copy of "Fushenglu" a few days ago, the maid didn't know the severity, and broke a few pages, and the book is my beloved, so I want to find Brother Ling to try." ”

This statement was discussed with Shang Wanyan, and Tao Zhu was really not suspicious when he heard it, so he only said to Shang Xizhou with some apology on his face: "My brother has gone to the bookstore." ”

Shang Xizhou said: "Then I'll wait for him to come back." Then he glanced at Tao Zhu and thought that the other party was a little lady who had not left the cabinet, and it would inevitably ruin the reputation of others to be in the same room with her, so he added, "The little lady has something to do, and I will wait outside here." ”

Tao Zhu did have something to do, she promised to help the tailor on Sanyang Street shop the nail knot, and most of it was still not done. It's still early for the bookstore to start working, and the family is waiting for her to buy rice with the money from the button!

But Shang Xizhou's dress is obviously a noble son, even if he comes to her house, even if he is a guest of her family, how can she let her family stand here alone and wait for a long time, and she can't even take out tea at home.

So she gritted her teeth and said to Shang Xizhou: "Young Master Shang, please wait a moment, the slave will go and call my brother back." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Shang Xizhou to speak, he raised his feet and ran towards the mouth of the alley. Shang Xizhou's apprehension in his heart was two points less, being so hospitable as a sister, and his character as an elder brother should not be much worse. Even if you can't help Yuan Niang in the matter of changing the book, at least it won't cause trouble to Yuan Niang.

After waiting for a while, I saw a man who was as thin as a bamboo pole panting and running this way, followed by Tao Zhu, urging him loudly as he ran: "Brother, run faster, don't make your guests wait for a long time." ”

Tao Mu Nan ran to Shang Xizhou, looked at Shang Xizhou quietly, and then asked, "Do you want the little one to help make up the book?" ”

Obviously, Tao Zhu had already told him the ins and outs of the matter.

Shang Xizhou nodded: "The matter is more urgent, if you want, you can go with me now, over there in the bookstore, if you can take leave from the boss, take half a month's leave, if not, just resign first, after the matter is over, I will give you an explanation." ”

In addition to the remuneration he deserves, it is not difficult to find him another job.

Tao Munan was a little confused, he had never seen such an employer, so he couldn't help asking: "Where did you hear that Xiao Xiao has the ability to repair ancient books?" ”

Shang Xizhou saw people, just thinking about quickly bringing people back to help his sister, but forgot to ask Tao Munan's skills, this time he remembered it, and saw Tao Munan's young appearance, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and asked: "I don't know where you learned from the ability to repair ancient books?" ”

"I don't know what the little one is capable of, so I dare to ask the little one to help repair it, which is surprising." Tao Munan didn't invite Shang Xizhou, so he stood outside and talked to Shang Xizhou, Shang Xizhou was dressed eye-catchingly, so there were many people around to spy on this side.

Tao Mu Nan lowered his voice and said to Shang Xizhou: "Since the master has found this place, I want to come and hear about the little one's ability." The ability of the little one to repair the ancient books depends on the remuneration given by the master. ”

Shang Xizhou frowned: "Remuneration is not a problem. ”

"There's one more request for that little one." Tao Mu Nan said, "Master is so anxious about this, I want to stay in Wuwei Hou Mansion for a while, but my sister is young, and there is no one else in the family, so I don't worry." ”

"Then bring it with you." Shang Xizhou is very refreshing. At the same time, he faintly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this Tao Munan.

It's not that I doubt his ability, but I feel that there is a sense of disobedience in him.

If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, and he promised Shang Wanyan to bring the person back no matter what, he must check this person first.

In the end, Tao Munan and Tao Zhu packed up a small bag and followed Shang Xizhou out of the alley. got into the carriage and quietly arrived at the Wuwei Marquis Mansion.

At this time, it was getting dark, Shang Xizhou took people to Heming Courtyard from the back door, and ordered them to change the clothes of the two brothers and sisters in Heming Courtyard. Then he sent someone to Shuchun Courtyard to invite Shang Wanyan.

Bringing people in so easily? Shang Wanyan was a little surprised. She remembered that Tao Munan in her previous life was very arrogant.

At that time, Lu Zhanshen borrowed a medical book from a colleague in Tai Hospital, which was an ancient book, and accidentally damaged it a little bit, that colleague loved books like life, Lu Zhanshen didn't want to offend him because of this little thing, so he planned to quietly repair the book himself, and as a result, he found Tao Munan. Who knew that although Tao Munan lived in poverty, he disdained the generous remuneration offered by Lu Zhanshen, and refused to accept this job.

Later, Tao Zhu became seriously ill and had to ask Lu Zhanshen to repair the ancient book. Lu Zhanshen is also a person who must be repaid, and seeing that he is indeed a leader in this industry, he took advantage of Tao Zhu's illness to force him to teach this craft to others.

Lu Zhanshen had no interest in this craft, he just wanted revenge, Shang Wanyan was diligent in testing drugs during that time, and he was pleasing to him, so this craft was cheaper than Shang Wanyan.

How could Tao Munan agree to her brother so lightly? Shang Wanyan's heart jumped, and she hurriedly changed her clothes and walked to Heming Courtyard with the brocade book. (To be continued.) )
