Chapter Twenty-Six: Maneuvering Through It
Although Xiao Xiao said it cryptically, smart people can understand it at once, and the most special thing is that she pointed out a fact: Auntie.
Shopkeeper Ge was slightly touched in his heart, but he didn't expect that this young lady could sincerely say this to him, a low-grade businessman.
Indeed, this dynasty relied on the emperor to fight the world in the southern and northern wars, emphasizing military force and ignoring literature, and it has only been more than 20 years since the founding of the country.
The so-called good piano, chess, calligraphy and painting masters are nothing more than masters of the previous dynasty, but the emperor is taboo for all of them, and even singing and dancing are strictly forbidden in the palace, so as not to develop arrogant living habits with the ministers.
Although this book is a good thing, it can't be said on the surface.
After a pause, Dawn continued, "This is the filial piety that people should fulfill for their children, so no matter what, I will buy that book today." β
Shopkeeper Ge was still very stubborn, but said: "This book was deposited here by a friend, and I don't sell it." β
"I'm willing to pay a high price."
"Not for sale!" Shopkeeper Ge still just insisted on this sentence.
"Bosom friends are hard to find, although the music composed by the Wusan people is the sound of nature, but the music is high and low, but not all people can play it. Since it is not sold, but your friend wants to store it in the bookstore, is it looking for a soulmate? Deliberately said that he wanted to buy it at a high price, and after saying it several times, the shopkeeper was still unwilling, and Dawn suddenly changed the topic.
Shopkeeper Ge was stunned, looked at the little girl in front of him, and suddenly was a little speechless.
Although her clothes seem to be ordinary, just a small jasper, but those big black and shiny eyes, dark and deep, when staring at you, it seems to be the deep ancient mirror, which makes people fall into it unconsciously.
Looking at such a young lady, Shopkeeper Ge really didn't know what to say.
It's half a ring. He finally popped out a sentence: "It's hard to find a bosom friend, but how can you be sure that your aunt is the bosom friend?" β
The meaning of rejection is much lighter than it was just now.
As soon as the words came out, Shopkeeper Ge suddenly realized that he was abrupt again. Hurriedly added: "Dare to ask the young lady's house?" β
No matter which family it is, the matter of the aunt is not something that a foreign man like him can ask at will.
"My father is Sikong Liang, when he is a general of the court, you don't even know this?" Xizhao deliberately opened a pair of big eyes. He looked surprised.
Shopkeeper Ge was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down: "I don't know if Miss Young Master has missed the welcome when she comes to the cold house, and I hope to forgive my sins!" β
Dawn glared at the sunset, the bad boy who swaggered and deceived thought that he was the son of the general was very remarkable, huh? Sunset playfully sticks out her tongue, and that appearance is a little cute.
"Okay, shopkeeper, don't do this, we're just here to buy something." Smiling, Xizhao helped the shopkeeper Ge's body up. "We bought this book on the orders of the general, the shopkeeper, are you willing to cut your love?"
"Thisβ" Shopkeeper Ge began to groan, his face a little embarrassed.
Dawn is a little dissatisfied, isn't this using power to oppress people? That's what they did before, and the final outcome was that they were killed by Wen Shiwei, but there were not many sympathies, thinking that they were to blame.
In this case, the dawn of the moment is naturally unwilling to do it yourself. I don't want to do such a thing anymore.
Xizhao also saw the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the second sister, but he felt wronged in his heart, didn't he do this because he wanted to help Xiaoxiao?
Considers. After thinking for a while, Shopkeeper Ge still said very firmly: "I'm sorry, please forgive the young master, this book was placed here by a friend, it's not old and not sold, I really don't have this right." β
Now. It was Sikong Xizhao's turn to be dumbfounded, if it wasn't for the dawn to stop him, I was afraid that he would say something threatening and intimidating.
Dawn shook his head lightly at the sunset, and when he turned to face the shopkeeper Ge, he still had a smile on his face: "Shopkeeper, then how can you cut love?" β
Shopkeeper Ge is really a little embarrassed, it is rare to see such an approachable and not domineering aristocratic lady at all, this is not at all like the notorious and unruly daughter of the general, everyone said that it was a birthday gift for his aunt.
There is no blind stammering housewife, and he is also so dedicated to his own mother, and he wants to fulfill this young lady's filial piety.
But that book can't do it, he resolutely refuses to sell it even when the second prince sends someone to it.
I wanted to take out the polite words just now, but Miss Sikong, who had always been kind and pleasant, suddenly changed her face: "Shopkeeper, I advise you not to toast or eat and drink, and sell us this book." β
Shopkeeper Ge's face changed greatly, and he hadn't yet adapted to Miss Sikong's sudden change of attitude, but then he heard her say:
"This book is **, who should your so-called friend be? The shopkeeper, if you let the court go, you are friends with such a person, let alone this store, I am afraid that the shopkeeper will also get into prison. β
The answer to the dawn was these few words: "The poor and the lowly cannot be moved, the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, and the mighty cannot be bent!" β
Dawn smiled, with a kind face, as if her anger just now was just someone else's delusion, and still said with a smile: "I understand that the shopkeeper must be such an elegant person who will keep such a good book." It's just that I want to advise the shopkeeper, don't say that to people like that in the future, you know, now there are villains who like to fall into the well, so it's better to be careful. β
Only then did Shopkeeper Ge know that he did that just now to remind him on purpose.
Of course, if he is really the kind of villain who tends to be inflammatory, I'm afraid that Miss Sikong's attitude is not like this, right?
Even so, then he ...... It's just that I still feel sorry in my heart, and I'm still slightly embarrassed.
"Originally, I didn't want to embarrass the shopkeeper, although the second aunt is only the concubine of the general, she is not the kind of person who is greedy for wealth and power. She has been a vegetarian in the house all these years, and she has lived a dull life of worshipping the Buddha with green lanterns. As a daughter, it was hard to know that she had such a heart, how could she not think of asking for it for her? The dawn just now is just a momentary urgency, if there is any rudeness, please forgive the shopkeeper. β
Envy and power, and reasonable, a filial piety word at the head, Sikong Xiaoxiao's words really moved the shopkeeper Ge. Of course, that's not what he cares about the most.
After listening to Sikong Xiaoxiao's words, Shopkeeper Ge asked anxiously: "The second aunt of the General's Mansion?" Have been vegetarians, green lanterns to worship Buddha? β
Consciously gaffe, these words should not be said casually to outsiders, Xiao Xiao looked remorseful and regretful, just said: "My aunt can't be civil or military, as a woman, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also average." Only the word song and dance, the most loved in her life. I heard that back then, my aunt not only danced and sang well, but also played the piano well, and it was because of this that the general fell in love with her. Shopkeeper, this is a little filial piety as a daughter, you really can't fulfill it? β
While speaking, he was still carefully observing the expression of the shopkeeper Ge, but he saw that his face had changed greatly, and he kept muttering and repeating the sentence: Green Lantern Buddha, Green Lantern Buddha? Could it be that I hurt her?
Dawn's eyes were about to pop out, and sure enough...... However, she looked to the side, and as the shopkeeper had repeatedly refused, she had already paced aside to admire the other treasures in the bookstore.
Only then did he put his mind at ease, looked at the shopkeeper Ge, and suddenly said: "My aunt, whose maiden name is Bai Lan, loves the songs of the five scattered people the most in her life, and the most regrettable thing is that she can't have a copy of his piano score." β
A sentence seemed to hit the death hole of the shopkeeper Ge, he didn't say anything after all, he went to get the book in person, wrapped it in a proper manner, and then bent down to stand in front of Dawn, offering it with both hands.
Even when Dawn wanted to give him the silver, Shopkeeper Ge refused, and just said: "If the little master wants it, just say it, how dare the old man stop it?" β
I don't know if this is aimed at her or the second aunt.
The uneasiness in Dawn's heart was even worse, buying books was secondary, this was the main purpose of her coming today, to test it.
Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, this result was reached. It's just that after the results came out, Dawn didn't feel relaxed, and broke out in a cold sweat, especially on the back, as if the entire placket was already soaked.
The reason why she insisted on going to this bookstore to buy that book was not only to meet someone with pure heart, but also to tempt. I still remember that at the beginning, when she was the third princess, Wen Shiwei once sent someone to contact the owner of this shop.
She didn't know exactly what happened in the middle, but Wen Shiwei asked her to buy books a few times, or in the name of her second aunt. At that time, Xiao Xiao was just strange in her heart, but she really liked Wen Shiwei at that time, and she did not hesitate to do anything for him.
In the end, I learned that this shop was in collusion with the remnants of the prince of the previous dynasty, of course, Wen Shiwei naturally had that ability, obviously framed and framed, and the person behind the scenes who was arrested confessed after being tortured that it was the prince Wen Shida who ordered him to do things.
In the end, relying on the queen's mother's maneuvering, the prince was separated from this matter, but since then, the emperor's trust in the prince has naturally decreased a lot.
And the reason why Dawn cares about this matter, thinking about it at this time, is because this matter is actually indirect, and it also involves her aunt.
At that time, when the officers and soldiers searched the store, they found a copy of the master's masterpiece of the previous dynasty, which was **, and there were some annotations on it, but it was the handwriting of the second aunt.
Even if it was only because she loved this sheet music, under the circumstances of the store being raided and the shopkeeper being arrested at that time, this matter was big or small.
If it weren't for Sikong Liang's maneuvering, I was afraid that the second aunt would also get into trouble. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
