Yue Yao treated the two teenagers as nothing, and walked directly towards Ma Chengteng. The scholar in the back was holding a dozen books. The books I had selected were delivered to the checkout counter.

The young man in the royal blue brocade robe saw that Yue Yao didn't speak, and couldn't help muttering: "Cousin, strange things happen every year, especially this year." What does a little girl do when she buys so many books of the Four Books and the Five Classics. And don't take the imperial examination. I get a headache when I see those books. The scholars who followed behind were all scientific research books.

Although the young master in the dark clothes was also surprised in his heart, he said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense. There is no rule that only men can read the Four Books and the Five Classics. ”

Ma Chengteng introduced the two teenagers to Yue Yao: "Yue Yao, this is the prince of Yongding Hou and the ninth prince of Ningguo Mansion. "The Ma family was also a marquis before, and they had dealings with these meritorious families, and they were also married, so they were also relatives. Although there is no title now, the Ma family has not completely declined, and there are still contacts with each other. It's just that the relationship is much more estranged.

The young man in the royal blue brocade robe heard Ma Chengteng's words and said in surprise: "You are the third lady of the Lian family?" "He has heard of this third lady of the Lian family for a long time. It is said that he has a great talent for painting, and he was bluntly said by the first painter in Jiangnan that it is a pity to be a daughter, otherwise there will be a successor. These words have spread to the capital, and everyone knows that there is a talented girl in the family.

When Yue Yao heard the prince of Yongding, she froze. Yongding Hou Shizi Guan Jingxuan, she heard too much in her previous life.

Guan {1}{Ben} read ~ novel yb][du Jingxuan was born in a noble family, his father is Yongding Hou, and his mother is the eldest daughter of Ningguo Mansion, and he was canonized as a son not long after he was born, and he really has a golden key since he was a child. And he did not have a little arrogance from the meritorious family, but was modest and studious, diligent and hardworking, plus excellent qualifications, the first place in the twelve-year-old children's examination examination, the first place in the case, the first place in the thirteen-year-old township examination, and the Xie Yuan of the capital. Many people say that the second son will be in the top three. Unfortunately, when he was fourteen years old, he had an accident and fell off his horse and died.

If Yueyao hadn't heard too much about those dirty things in the nunnery, she would definitely think it was an accident. But in retrospect, it's hard to say whether the accident was unexpected or not. You know, in people like them, the horses are trained. Under normal circumstances, even if the gongs and drums pass by, the horses will not go crazy. So, whether it was an accident or not, only God knows.

Yue Yao thought that such a person died in the conspiracy, and couldn't help but look at the Yongding Hou Shizi in front of her, although she still looked very immature, but her figure was tall and long, her face was like a crown of jade, her eyebrows were like ink, and her eyes were black as if they were about to drip water.

Yue Yao looked at Guan Jingxuan, people said that the prince of Yongding Hou had no arrogance, but Yue Yao felt that he was not without arrogance, but he was just restrained from this arrogance. Just like now, even if you stand there quietly, you are still rich and beautiful, and your charm is unique, giving people a feeling of nobility and Qinghua. Ordinary people standing in front of him would really be ashamed of themselves.

Yue Yao sighed heavily in her heart, what a pity. If there had been no conspiracy. Maybe there will be two demons in the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Ning Shaoming, the son of Ning Jiu, was unhappy when he saw Yueyao's look: "Hmph, although my cousin is famous and handsome, you don't have to look at him like this!" I can tell you, my cousin has a very high eye, and he doesn't look down on ......."

Ma Chengteng's face fell. Although he didn't know why Yue Yao looked at Guan Jingxuan, he believed in his niece's character. This Ning Shaoming's words are slandering the reputation of his niece, which is really immoral. Snorted coldly: "Ning Gongzi is so eloquent?" ”

Ning Shaoming listened to Ma Chengteng's words, and his face was ugly. Isn't he wrong, isn't this woman a nymphomaniac here? Or stare at his cousin for something.

Guan Jingxuan saw that Shaoming was about to refute, and resolutely stopped: "Shaoming, what does it look like to say such things in the bookstore." "Can't this stinky boy see that although this Lianjia girl has been looking at him for a little longer, in addition to amazement, there is also a look of regret in her eyes. Although he didn't know what this girl regretted, he knew that this girl was not going to look at him dumbfounded.

Ning Shaoming reluctantly closed his mouth.

Guan Jingshuo pulled Shaoming to apologize to Yueyao. Ning Shaoming looked reluctant: "You want me to apologize?" Why are you? ”

Yue Yao just remembered those things just now, which was a pity. Seeing that Ning Shaoming spit out words that were not human, he didn't look at it much: "Uncle, let's go!" "Yueyao was taught by Lian Dongbo and Wen Chengxiang, two famous people, and she was full of arrogance in her bones. For Ning Shaoming, I can't look down on it at all. Talking to this kind of person lowers my taste.

Again, although Qingfeng Bookstore does not restrict men and women. But under normal circumstances, large families will not let their girls come to the bookstore. After all, the bookstore is a man's world. I was brought over by my uncle today, and when I return to Lianfu, there will definitely be a right or wrong. This is also thanks to my uncle's open-mindedness, otherwise, I wouldn't have had a chance to come over this time.

It's okay to be scolded or despised if you're scolded, but being ignored is the most unbearable. Ning Shaoming was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Guan Jingxuan apologized to Yueyao: "Girl, please forgive me." My cousin has always been open-mouthed, and asked the girl not to take it to heart. ”

Yue Yao's complexion did not change because of Guan Jingxuan's words: "He is right, I was looking at you just now." I just want to see what the famous prince of Yongding is like. If there is any unreasonable expenditure, please forgive me. "Yueyao's words almost said that I am looking at it in the light, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Ning Shaoming was dumbfounded, even Guan Jingxuan was stunned for a moment. He'd seen a lot of girls show their admiration, but no one was so arrogant, well, so bold. Guan Jingxuan thought this girl was very interesting: "Then can I ask, what is the regret in the girl's eyes just now?" He really didn't understand why this girl looked sorry for him. What do you regret about him? He has nothing to regret. It can be said that he is the real pride of the sky.

Yue Yao shook her head: "The prince is wrong. Uncle, let's go! "What if you are killed by your family? Even if she says it now, others will think she's crazy.

Guan Jingshuo looked at the background of the departing Yueyao, his face full of confusion. With such a strong look of pity, he would never be mistaken. It's a pity, why does it feel a pity to look at him. He was pretty sure that the girl didn't know him before. It was only after listening to Master Ma's introduction that he showed a look of pity. Why?

Ning Shaoming pulled Guan Jingxuan and said, "Let's go, this girl is going to use this method to get your attention." "Although my cousin is only eleven years old, he is the most popular son-in-law candidate in the capital. As for those little girls, which one of them is not a nymphomaniac when he sees his cousin. This famous daughter of the family is no exception, a nymphomaniac.

Mr. Lan led the two of them to a small room. Present two books. Yue Yao opened it and looked at it, as if she had found a treasure: "Mr. Lan, I want these two books." ”

Mr. Lan just learned that Yue Yao was a student of Lian Dongbo. Qingfeng Bookstore is best at digging talents, especially for those who are not yet famous, and the return is unlimited. Qingfeng Bookstore's vision is not limited to men and women, their purpose is to maximize profits.

Mr. Lan is also very curious about this girl who makes the first painter in Jiangnan feel sorry for being a woman, and wants to see how talented this girl is, which deserves such praise. If it's really good, it's also worth cultivating: "If the girl can leave a picture for Qingfeng Bookstore, these two books will be given to the girl for free." ”

Yue Yao shook her head without thinking about it. Books are only a few hundred taels of silver. But if her paintings get out. Painters need to be cultivated overnight, not out of thin air. It will soon be exposed. Those great painters have extremely vicious eyes, and they will definitely be exposed. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't show it, you will be praised as a genius, and you have had enough of the suffering of talented women in your last life, and you don't want those damn reputations in this life: "Now my paintings can't get into the eyes of Mr. When I think it's okay in the future, I will ask Mr. for some advice. ”

Mr. Lan was a little disappointed, but he had been in this business for so long, and he was first-class in terms of his words. If Yueyao hesitated, then he could talk further. But the little girl in front of him refused without thinking about it, he was very willing, even if the three little girls in the family didn't want these two books, they wouldn't paint to show him: "The girl bought a lot of books from the bookstore this time, and I gave the girl a seven-fold discount." "There are more than 100 books, one copybook, and these two are also limited editions, and the prices are not low.

As soon as the account was settled, Yueyao was covered in a cold sweat. After a seven-fold discount, it will also cost 1,896 taels. In addition, he gave a discount and said that he didn't want six taels of silver. That is to say, a total of one thousand eight hundred and ninety taels of silver. The books I bought cost almost two thousand taels of silver. Burn money.

Ma Chengteng didn't think it was very expensive. For them, books are priceless. Like in the past, Ma Chengteng had to buy hundreds of taels of calligraphy and paintings, and even bought thousands of taels of calligraphy and paintings from famous artists. This time, Yueyao bought so many things, more than a thousand taels, Ma Chengteng really didn't pay attention to it.

Yue Yao sighed heavily in her heart again. In the inner courtyard, there is an aunt who spends money like water, and now my uncle also regards money as dung. If the Ma family really remarries Cheng Lizi, it will be sooner or later defeated. It seems that looking for the right opportunity to tactfully remind my uncle.

Ma Chengteng said to Yueyao that he had just gone to the gallery to see: "There will be an art exhibition at the bookstore in a while...... and he stopped talking about it. said that Yueyao was not easy to come out. This time it's a book search, and it's a place where no one is located. There are many people in the art exhibition, and the girl's family is not easy to show up.

Yueyao knew about this exhibition. Qingfeng Bookstore does not hold an art exhibition every quarter. The source of the painting is that all the famous artists hand it in, and then ask someone to comment on it, and then exhibit it. Generally, people who like paintings will visit and copy. After the exhibition, the paintings are usually sold. Those who like it can buy it. This way of doing business is very special, but it has cultivated a lot of talents, and many of these people have become great painters.

Yueyao is a little pity, why should she be a man!

Out of the bookstore, the sun had set.

Mother Deng looked at the stack of books and moved them to the carriage. Mother Deng asked some questions, nothing more than who she met in the bookstore. Of course, Dengzi will not have it in the bookstore. If anyone dares to mess around in the bookstore, they can only dare to commit it, and don't want to enter the bookstore for the rest of their lives. If your reputation is bad, your future will be gone.

Yue Yao remembered that her uncle seemed to be very kind to the Marquis of Yongding, and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what is the relationship between the Ma family and the Marquis of Yongding?" "If it doesn't matter, it is impossible for my uncle to be so concerned about Guan Jingxuan.

Mother Deng heard that Yueyao had met the prince of Yongding Hou, and sighed slightly: "The girl doesn't know, the deceased Mrs. Yongding Hou and our wife are close friends in the boudoir. I just didn't expect ...... "I didn't expect both of them to pass away."

Yueyao was stunned: "Why haven't I heard my mother mention it!" "She didn't remember it at all. Maybe it's not that I'm not impressed, it's just that I've forgotten it for too long.

Mother Deng chuckled: "Mrs. Yongding Hou has passed away, how can Mrs. mention it in front of you." "You can't mention the prince of Yongding Hou to your own girl. In front of the daughter who is married, he always mentions another teenager, what does it look like.

Yue Yao sighed: "Is it really good for my mother to be with Mrs. Yongdinghou?" ”

Mother Deng nodded: "The girl may not know, when Mrs. Yongding Mansion was a girl, she was also a famous talented woman in the capital, and later met Mrs., and the two had the same temperament and cherished each other." It's as good as a sister. It's just, cough ...... "Both of them passed away so early." And they are all stuck in the same level.

Yueyao asked strangely, "Why is Mom sighing?" ”

Mother Deng shook her head: "You don't know, Mrs. Yongding Hou knew that Mrs. Yongding Hou chose her sister-in-law as her steproom, and wrote to Mrs. Yongding Hou to say that it was inappropriate to do so." If there is any dispute in the future, it is not only the stepmother who will be pressed on the head of the prince, but also the age of the aunt, which is very unfavorable to the prince. Later, Mrs. Yongding Hou received a reply from Mrs. Yongdinghou and knew that this matter was not up to Mrs. Yongdinghou. "Mother Deng is very familiar with the ins and outs of this matter. Back then, Mrs. Yongding Hou wanted to regret it, but the Ning family didn't give her this opportunity.

Yue Yao couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" "I felt stupid when I asked. Later, if it wasn't like this, it was a foregone conclusion, and the prince of Yongding Hou was also very good.

Deng's mother said: "Fortunately, the stepfamily has not given birth, so she has always treated the son as her own child." If this stepfamily has an heir, I am afraid that it is now the prince of Yongding Hou...... "If you have your own children, everyone has selfish intentions, and if you have children, you naturally want your children to get the best." The original wife naturally became a roadblock. The current Ning Guogong and Mrs. Yongding Hou are brothers and sisters of the same mother, if it is really a situation, the prince of Yongding Hou must have died a long time ago. Fortunately, Mrs. Yongding Hou did not give birth.

Yue Yao suddenly asked: "Is it that she can't give birth, or is it ......" Yue Yao's meaning is the problem of the steproom itself, or is it designed by someone. If it was designed, this person must be the previous Mrs. Yongdinghou.

Mother Deng's eyes were about to pop out. She was not surprised that this Xiao Ning clan was calculated, but was frightened by Yue Yao's words. When did the girl know about these dirty things: "Girl, this is not a nonsense. ”

Yue Yao smiled lightly: "Just talking to my mother like this, who can I tell you!" "She's not two hundred and five, where would she say such things casually.

Yueyao thought about what happened to Guan Jingxuan, maybe Guan Jingxuan's early death had nothing to do with him, his stepmother. You know, once a woman wants revenge, she won't care so much. Just like she was back then, in order to take revenge, she didn't hesitate to destroy her family.
