The carriage entered the gate of the capital, and the hour was still early, so Qin Yu directly let the carriage go to the East Market, where the bookstores gathered.

Due to the proximity to Guozijian, there is a special alley where there are paper, ink, pen, inkstone shops and shops specializing in selling all kinds of books.

After entering the palace, she couldn't go out, Gu Qingwan also wanted to buy more books to read, in addition to medical books, she also had to change her mind occasionally, she wanted to choose some more travelogues, miscellaneous conversations, biographies, and books such as words and architecture.

When they arrived at the place, the carriage stopped, and Qin Yu brought a hat to Gu Qingwan, in view of his eyes being too different, he also brought a hat, and after packing up, the two got off the carriage one after another.

In the past, Gu Qingwan was a talented female bookworm, and she had also been to this street, so she didn't need to guide her, so she first went to a bookstore called Zhimo on the most street, and turned around and said to Qin Yu: "There are often new books for sale in this bookstore, and many of them are stories that have just come out in the south. ”

In ancient times, there were many scholars who wrote novels, but the general goal of scholars was to rely on the imperial examination, and writing a book was always not a proper job. Therefore, it is quite difficult to find a well-written book.

Gu Qing entered the bookstore late, and he didn't need guidance, and walked directly to the rows of bookshelves at the back.

It's a leisurely time in the afternoon, and there are really a lot of guests here who choose books, most of them are readers, but they don't care if they see a woman coming in.

Seeing that Gu Qingwan had already walked around on his own, Qin Yu leaned on the stone pillar on the side and casually looked at the pedestrians on the street, he didn't have much interest in choosing books.

Song Ning was guarding the side, his eyes fell on a bookstore called Yan Ruyu opposite, and suddenly thought of something, he stepped forward and whispered to Qin Yu: "Master, didn't you tell your subordinates to check which bookstore was selling the portraits of the ladies in the capital in private, do you remember this?" ”

Song Ning said that, Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, and naturally remembered this matter.

However, it was still Gu Qingwan's men's dress, and he ordered her on the Jiuqu Corridor of Hanmo Courtyard before taking her to Prince Yi's mansion.

At that time, Song Ning failed to follow Prince Yi to the mansion because of this. However, because of the twists and turns in Prince Yi's Mansion later, Qin Yu also forgot to ask about this matter again.

Unexpectedly, Song Ning actually remembered it now.

Qin Yu stared at Song Ning, and Song Ning raised his finger and pointed at Yan Ruyu opposite.

Qin Yu looked over, and immediately laughed shamefully, and said: "Look at the name of this bookstore, it's not a good place, go over and take a look." ”

He motioned to Song Ning to take care of Gu Qingwan, walked out of the store, and walked diagonally to the opposite side.

This Yan Ruyu is obviously not the same as the bookstore next to it, and there is a scent of ink after the bookstore next to it, and there is a fragrance of fat powder in it, and most of the pictures of ladies are hung on the wall.

Most of the guests in it are sons and brothers in brocade clothes, and there are many people who are dressed as flamboyant little men, and they are here to run errands for their masters.

However, the business is obviously very good, and there are three times as many customers in it as there are Zhimo in Fangcai.

Qin Yu entered the shop, and as soon as he stood still, the person who looked like the shopkeeper on the counter noticed him. After sweeping up and down, the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed over, walked out of the counter, and beckoned: "What does this master want to buy?" You are the first to come back, the small shop has a good reputation in the capital, please take a look inside, there are many good things. ”

Qin Yu took two steps inside and said casually: "Is there a book on martial arts moves?" ”

The shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and said: "This master is really funny, there are martial arts moves!" There are all kinds of moves, the picture is guaranteed to be lifelike, it depends on which style you want to like, whether it is subtle or explicit, strange tricks, everything...... We Yan Ruyu still have real people, in short, we have the most complete books in this area in the capital. If you can't find what you like here, there will be no one in this capital. ”

The shopkeeper said but brought Qin Yu to a row of bookshelves, Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "What is a real person?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled heartily and said enthusiastically: "This real person's is that the woman in the painting is a real woman, her appearance is lifelike, and she is definitely exactly the same as the real person, such as this one, this painting is the red flower of the Drunken Immortal Building!" This is the painter of our bookstore who went to Zuixian Building to observe Bai Jiaojiao's meticulous painting for dozens of days, and it has just been put on the shelves, and I don't take it out when ordinary people come. ”

The shopkeeper said, blocked it with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Ye Xu doesn't know, this Bai Jiaojiao has now been combed by the prince of Jinxiang, and now it is hot, I am afraid that it will take a long time not to pick up the guests next to me, with this book in hand, what kind of drunken immortal building, it is equivalent to taking Bai Jiaojiao home, you see, this painting, this expression, this action, this delicate, it is simply Bai Jiaojiao standing in front of her, this martial arts move, ordinary women can't fiddle with it......"

"Who is Bai Jiaojiao?"

The shopkeeper's mouth was foaming, and suddenly a beautiful and delicate female voice came from behind him.

Woman? How can there be a woman here?!

The shopkeeper turned his head and saw a fair girl in a bright purple gown and a lilac hat standing one step away from him, as if she was looking through the hat to the picture of the spring palace in his hand.

The shopkeeper couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, stunned.

They have never entered a woman in this bookstore, so how can a woman be embarrassed to come to such a place?

Gu Qingwan's eyes were indeed attracted by the spring palace map, and the ancient spring palace map was really the first time to see it. There is a beautiful woman with slightly messy sideburns and a big red peony flower painted on it, with a gorgeous appearance and a lustful expression, and she is intertwined with a man in brocade clothes and a smooth chest on the Luohan bed, with a distorted posture.

Gu Qingwan glanced twice, glanced at Qin Yu, and said, "This is Bai Jiaojiao?" It's really beautiful, is it very interesting? ”

Qin Yu was also a little unable to come back to his senses, seeing that Gu Qingwan's eyes were still sweeping to the album, and he glimpsed that the man in the album was also meticulously drawn, and the delicate male physical signs were drawn somewhere, thinking that the women in the album were all real people, who knew if the man was painted according to the real person, Qin Yu's face suddenly sank, and his big palm covered the album, covering the man tightly.

I heard Gu Qing's cool voice sound again, "It seems that the master is really interested in this Bai Jiaojiao, and this is all touched." ”

Qin Yu followed Gu Qingwan's line of sight, and sure enough, because his palm was pressed on the man in the album, his thumb was covering Bai Jiaojiao's bare chest in the painting.

A wave of nausea came up, Qin Yu hurriedly withdrew his hand, pulled Gu Qingwan into his arms, covered her eyes with his big palm, and said, "Don't look around!" ”

Gu Qingwan, "......"

This is really only allowed by the state officials to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was still stunned, Qin Yu glanced at him with sharp eyes, and said angrily: "Who wants to see this filthy thing, don't put it away quickly!" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly collected things, but he thought again, this must be the son who came out with a fan, he looked like a powerful person, and his temperament was outstanding, but he didn't expect to be a person who was afraid of women.

"Why are you here too?" Seeing that the shopkeeper put away the messy Spring Palace map, Qin Yucai asked Gu Qing in his arms in a low voice.

Gu Qingwan pursed her lips and said, "The books in the Zhimo bookstore are more interesting, and there is nothing to read about the books next to them, I have already selected them, but I am really interested." ”

She was teasing, clearly thinking that he was here to buy the real spring palace map, Qin Yu couldn't let Gu Qing have this misunderstanding in the evening, so he hurriedly asked the shopkeeper, and said, "Is there a lady in this kind of real spring palace?" ”

Seeing that Qin Yu didn't say that he would let Gu Qing go out first, he still held the woman in his arms, and he was very protective of it, and the shopkeeper really couldn't understand it.

After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper's talent smiled and said, "Don't hide it from this master, don't dare to do this...... A small shop is just to make a living of money, and you want to do business for a long time. ”

Qin Yu understood it, this bookstore was a bit measured, and he didn't dare to take the appearance of a lady in the boudoir to paint the Spring Palace, for fear of getting into a lawsuit. A woman like this Oiran didn't have much reputation, so she dared to paint the Spring Palace like this.

Qin Yu sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you dare to do this?" What does the shopkeeper mean by this, does the lady really have a portrait next to it? ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand hurriedly when he heard this, and said: "Then how dare you, our Yan Ruyu has also been in business for some years, and what we do is a legitimate business, how can we do things that ruin the innocence of other girls, no, no." ”

Seeing the shopkeeper's denial, Qin Yu smiled slightly, and his voice was slightly deep, "Oh? No? How did I hear that there are pictures of ladies who sell well-known nobles in the capital in private. ”

When the shopkeeper heard Qin Yu say this, he hesitated again, and said with a smile: "But I don't know who recommended this master?" ”

Gu Qingwan listened to the shopkeeper's tone, and it was clear that he couldn't trust Qin Yu, and he had to introduce people to shake the private goods out.

How dare this bookstore sell portraits of noble ladies in private? How bold it is!

Qin Yu pursed his lips, his mind turned slightly, and he thought that Chen Yongyan and Li Dongzhe both liked to mingle with Fengyue occasions, so he said casually: "It was Li San of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion and Wang Shizi of Chen Jun who introduced it to the master." ”

The shopkeeper was immediately enthusiastic, and his face was like a chrysanthemum with a smile on his face, and said: "Master, you said it earlier, it turned out to be a distinguished guest recommended by a nobleman, and there is a private room above. ”

Gu Qingwan, "......"

She raised her hand and poked Qin Yu's waist, and said in a low voice: "I can't see that Chen Shizi and Li Sanye are okay." Your Highness, your subordinates are truly Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

Qin Yu also said casually, he didn't think that the two of them were really frequent visitors to this place, and he couldn't help but say after being ridiculed by Gu Qingwan's mockery: "These two embarrassing things!" ”

After speaking, he said in a deep voice to the shopkeeper who led the way in front of him: "You don't need to go to any private room, hurry up and take out the painting, the master has chosen and there are other things." ”

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said, "This ...... This master also knows that this kind of portrait is not easy to get outside, if it is not recommended by someone, this kind of thing will not be put out for sale, if you want to buy, or come to the private room, it will not delay you for long. ”

Qin Yu pressed his temperament and took Gu Qing into the private room at the back. The shopkeeper saw that Qin Yu didn't mean to let Gu Qing go out late, so he didn't say anything, and only after serving the tea did he ask, "I don't know which noblewoman's portrait this master wants to see?" ”

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Heh, so there are all the portraits of the nobles in this study?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile: "How come, what kind of identity are the nobles, they are all raised in the deep house and ordinary people can't see it, and again, this ordinary lady, it's not interesting to paint a portrait, the small shop is just a few portraits of well-known nobles in Beijing, but also to satisfy the curiosity of customers, usually not to sell, just some feedback to the old guests." ”

Qin Yu pursed his lips, but Gu Qingwan interjected: "Whose portrait is there?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't want to say much, after all, Qin Yu came back for the first time, and he brought a woman with him, which was too weird, and he was afraid of causing trouble, so he only smiled and said, "Which noble girl's painting does this master want to buy?" See if there are any small ones. ”

Qin Yu sneered again when he saw him like this, but it was a pity that he was wearing a hat on his head, and he never took it off, covering his cold complexion, and the shopkeeper couldn't see it, otherwise he would have been paralyzed with fright.

"Take a look at the portrait of the girl from the former Shoufu Gu family."

The shopkeeper clapped his hands when he heard this, and said: "This is the first beauty in the capital in the past, and the portrait of Miss Gu is the best. Wait, the little one told the boy to fetch it. ”

Gu Qingwan was dumbfounded, it turned out that Qin Yu came to this bookstore because of this.

Qin Yuye's eyes narrowed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and said in a cool voice: "Heh, it turns out that Chen Yongyan and Li Dongzhe also bought the portrait of this Gu girl?" But I don't know who else is in the same way? ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I have bought, I have bought, but the two masters have not been here for a while." The status of the two masters is noble, and it is natural to remember clearly what small ones they bought, as for the others, I really can't remember this small one, and Miss Gu's portrait sells well......"

Before the shopkeeper's words were finished, Qin Yu was already clucking his fists, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura, the shopkeeper's frightened face changed slightly, and his voice gradually weakened unconsciously, and finally disappeared.

But at this time, the scholar came over with a few scrolls, and saw the shopkeeper standing stiffly in the room, the scholar was a little at a loss, but Gu Qingwan smiled and said: "Come, come, quickly bring the painting over and I'll take a look." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Yu again with some apprehension, and then waved his hand at the scholar, who carried the portrait in front of Gu Qingwan and put it on the table.

Gu Qingwan casually picked a pair of red ropes tied to the top and opened them.

Sure enough, there is a beautiful woman painted on the picture scroll, holding a fan, standing among the flowers and fluttering butterflies, a very ordinary picture of a lady, wearing a long gown that is also a beautiful lady, but the expression on her face is a little disobedient, her eyes are blurred, and she is a little charming and silky.

Not to mention, the woman in this portrait is really five or six points like Gu Qingwan herself, and the remaining four or five points are not like it, that's because the ancients painted freehand, and the images of the government are not very similar, not to mention this.

Qin Yu also unfolded a pair, which was also Gu Qingwan, which should have been painted by a person, but this time she was lazily lying on the beauty couch, with a pomegranate tree in the background, and the beauty star's eyes were half-narrowed, as if she was sleeping but not sleeping, although she didn't show anywhere, but only the lying posture led people to reverie.

Qin Yu saw the fire so loudly that he swept all the portraits on the table to the ground, suddenly stood up, and shouted, "Song Ning!" ”

Song Ning knew that something would happen, but when he heard this, he rushed up, knelt down and responded: "Master, you command!" ”

Qin Yu said angrily: "Burn down this bookstore for the master!" Be sure to burn it clean! ”

Song Ning had already caught a glimpse of the portrait on the ground, and knew that Qin Yu was not light, where did he dare to be lazy, so he responded: "Yes, if you leave a painting, your subordinates will raise their heads to see it." ”

Qin Yu's face was gloomy, he looked at the shopkeeper who was completely stunned, and said: "Give this king a good trial, whoever has bought this painting will remember it for this king!" ”

Song Ning responded again, and Qin Yu pulled Gu Qing up and hugged her and walked out.

The shopkeeper came back to his senses, his face changed greatly, and he stepped forward to pull, Song Ning reacted very quickly, and lifted it up with the collar of the shopkeeper, and threw it away, and the shopkeeper flew out directly, hitting a bookshelf, and the bookshelf fell, and the shopkeeper was pressed down, and he couldn't climb out for a long time.

Qin Yu escorted Gu Qing out of Yan Ruyu at night, took her to the carriage, and said, "Why don't you go to the bookstore today, and come over with you another day, your good mood will be ruined!" ”

Gu Qingwan smiled when she heard this, and said: "I didn't expect you to have such an interesting place here, the real version of the Spring Palace Picture is actually quite creative, I think this shopkeeper is a talent." ”

She smiled and said: "It's just a painter who paints the Spring Palace map, although the painting skills are good, but it's probably a scholar who hasn't married or something, and the posture on the Spring Palace map obviously can't be fiddled, according to his painting method, that Bai Jiaojiao has to practice cartilage skills to be tossed like that." This kind of thing is also harmful, and whoever wants to buy it back has to fiddle with his wife according to the top, and he has to break people's bones. I'll be honest, the picture of the Spring Palace I drew is a hundred times better than this, no, a thousand times! ”

Gu Qing was relishing in the evening, talking eloquently about the picture of the Spring Palace that he had just seen, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Your Highness, why don't you let Song Ning collect a box of books first and then burn the building." ”

Qin Yu, "......"

There was a commotion outside, Gu Qingwan opened the curtain, and saw that Yan Ruyu was there, Song Ning had already driven out all the guests in the store, and the shopkeeper and the scholar were also tied up and thrown out.

A few brocade boys who chose books were making trouble, and they didn't know what Song Ning said when he stood at the door of the study, and those brocade boys suddenly changed their faces and took a few steps back.

Although it is easy to burn the study, but this area is full of study shops, and the shops are next to the shops, but it is difficult not to be implicated, so Song Ning is directing people to tear down the eaves of the study connected to the shop pù on the other side.

There was a commotion outside, and the movement here alarmed a lot of people, and it was indeed not suitable to go on any longer, Gu Qingwan put down the curtain and said, "So let's go to the restaurant, I brought a lot of medical books back from the Great Power Temple, and I can read them for a while." ”

The carriage slowly drove out of the East Market, and it was a coincidence that when Gu Qingwan and Qin Yu went to the restaurant construction site, Shen Xue was also there.

A few sons and brothers were obviously idle today, and came to inspect the progress of the construction of the restaurant.

Because of the abundant silver, Mr. Chen San was also familiar with the construction of the Ministry of Industry, so the special Shun Lì built by the restaurant has now been built with a rough outline.

Unlike the Fuyun Hall in the palace, which is surrounded by walls and does not allow people to peep in advance, there is no special fence here.

The construction of the four-story building, the shape has been built, even if it has not yet shown the effect that Gu Qingwan wanted, but because it is the tallest building in this area, it also seems to stand out from the crowd, and it attracts the attention of passers-by, many people will stop to look at it and point out a few words.

As soon as Gu Qingwan and Qin Yuwan got out of the carriage, Shen Xue on the fourth floor saw them and shouted hello.

Gu Qingwan looked up and saw half of Chen Yongyan's body leaning out of the window and waving at them, "Second brother, here and here!" ”

Thinking of the matter of Yan Ruyu's bookstore, Gu Qingwan couldn't help but glance at Qin Yu, and sure enough, he saw Qin Yu squinting slightly, staring at Chen Yongyan above with a smile on his head.

Seeing this kung fu, Li Dongzhe also poked his head out, and both of them smiled and showed their white teeth, completely unaware of the sinister nature of this world, Gu Qingwan pinched a handful of sweat for the two of them.
