There are four library buildings in the Taishi Book Garden, which are located in four places in the garden, the east garden is the Xianzhe Building, which mainly collects the handwritings of the Yi masters of the past dynasties, and the rare books of famous masters; The West Garden is the Dianhan Building, which mainly collects the annals of a hundred schools; The north courtyard is the Tenghuang Building, which mainly collects picture scrolls and picture books; The Zaidao Building in the South Courtyard is the place where the century-old lecture titles, the easy-to-understand chapters, and the old volumes of the Great Yan are placed.

Of the four library buildings, Yu Shu only went to the Overload Road Building, but the most interesting thing was undoubtedly the Xianzhe Building in the East Garden.

There are Xin Liu to lead the way, and the two soon came to the foot of the Xianzhe Building, which is a three-storey attic, the building is a hexagonal shape, built on a high stone platform, and there are more than a dozen pots of orchid grass on both sides of the gate, with small pink or yellow flowers, and the branches and leaves grow very well.

Entering the study building, there is an eight-fan windshield painting screen in front of it, and when you go by, you will see rows of bookcases neatly placed on both sides of the road covered with oily yellow felt carpets, and there are several figures walking through it.

Xin Liu introduced Yu Shu: "All the books and notes in the Xianzhe Building are only allowed to be read in the library, or bring your own paper and pen to extract here, and it is strictly forbidden to take the original out of the building." ”

Yu Shu nodded, remembering that Feng Zhaomiao had told her before that stealing books in the Taishi Book Garden would be expelled from the school.

The two walked to the nearest row of bookshelves to look through, some of the books were set aside, and some were spread out on the side, most of them were regular line drafts, and there were also simply bound manuals, and the cover was wrapped with a layer of oiled paper, which was clearly marked by the people who sorted it out later, or had a famous name, such as "Xu Yi's Notes", "Chu Yi's Manuscript", or according to the year name, such as "The Seventh Year of Baotai", "The Thirteenth Year of Zhenming" and so on.

However, the bibliography is a little messy, and there is no specific classification, Yu Shu is on the same shelf, and he turns to talk about feng shui experience, as well as physiognomy solutions, easy to demonstrate, several kinds of books, and the content involved is also very different.

She visually measured the number of tens of thousands of books in this library, so she had no clue to find it. It was very inconvenient, so Yu Shu asked Xin Liu: "Why don't you place these books separately according to the six branches of Dayan, it's much easier to find." ”

Xin Liuzheng looked at a codex with relish. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled at her: "Only the books of Xianzhelou are so miscellaneous, I have long heard my fifth brother complain, this is also an old custom of Taishi Shuyuan, pay attention to a fateful and lucky, you can find the predecessor to leave a precious chapter on the first day." I was unlucky, and I found nothing after three months of scrolling in the library. ”

After she said that, she put down the notebook in her hand, and said to Yu Shu eagerly: "Let's look at it separately, I'll go over there, you're here, maybe I can find out some thaumaturgical secrets!" ”

"It's fine." Yu Shu agreed quickly, but he didn't take her words seriously. It's really so easy to find any "broken chapters", and the book building is already overcrowded at this time, and it won't be just a few people sporadically.

So he waited until Xin Liu was out of sight. She honestly checked the books on the shelves one by one, and chose the ones that were useful to her, and when it was almost noon, she really found several books.

On the other hand, Xin Liuyi found nothing, and came down from the upstairs in disgrace, Yu Shu closed a notebook that she was flipping through, and teased her:

"Did you find anything?"

"Hmph, what my fifth brother said is not wrong at all, those rumors are all fooling, but I am too lazy to sort it out so messy. Walk around. Let's eat first, and we won't spend it here. ”

"Look at your dirty, go back to the women's house to freshen up first, I'll finish these two pages, and then I'll go back to you." Yu Shu was reluctant to hold this notebook explaining yin and yang, and he couldn't take it away and borrow it. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it next time.

Sent Xin Liu away, Yu Shu stayed alone in the Xianzhe Building for a long time, and after reading the thin notebook, he left unsatisfied, and made a calculation in his heart, if she went to see the academician again tomorrow and continued to touch the nails, she would not go to provoke that suspicion, and it would be good to soak in this study building for a while.

***

Yu Shu had lunch with Xin Liu, but because the preparation was incomplete, he couldn't go to the library to copy the book, so he left the Taishi Library in the middle of the afternoon. When I returned to the west of the city, I saw three or four sedan chairs parked across the street from her house as soon as I got off the carriage.

The little guy guarding the door moved a horse and sat in the door, and when he saw Yu Shu coming down, he quickly stood up and ran forward: "The girl is back, there are guests at home." ”

Yu Shu didn't rush in, he asked who came first, and the little guy couldn't tell clearly, pointing to a large pile of gifts behind the door, saying that they were sent by someone, because Yu Shu had told him not to accept gifts from strangers before, so he left it like this.

Door-to-door gifts, most of them have requests, Yu Shu entered the door suspiciously, and as soon as he walked to the door of the living room, several well-dressed figures came out, and they all said:

"The female operator is polite."

Yu Shu glanced at the past, no one he knew, raised his hand in return, and asked hesitantly: "How many are you?" ”

Someone preemptively replied, "Below is the big shopkeeper of the Fengxin Chamber of Commerce, surnamed Chen." ”

"Shopkeeper Chen." Yu Shu put down his hand and vaguely guessed the intention of these people.

The rest of the people were not far behind, and reported their names one by one: "Below is the big shopkeeper of the Jiangfu Chamber of Commerce, Hu Donglai." ”

The four people in front of Yu Shu were from several different chambers of commerce, and they were all big shopkeepers who were in charge of their own affairs, as for the intention, she guessed that eighty percent of the owners behind them were interested in recruiting her, so they were sent to inquire about the situation.

"Let's sit inside."

Yu Shu led the person into the living room and sat down, called the person to change the tea, and had a brief conversation, sure enough, these people were just talking-

"Female operator, our big proprietor of the Jiangfu Chamber of Commerce has heard of your prestige and admires it very much, and intends to invite you to be a distinguished guest in our Chamber of Commerce, and I am willing to send five hundred taels of offerings every month, so I would like you to take care of you on weekdays." The shopkeeper was the first to speak.

Yu Shu heard what it meant, what kind of distinguished guest, to put it bluntly, is a senior consultant, just like she used to be a door-to-door guest in the Fu'an Dart Bureau, but now she is an operator, and her worth has increased more than tenfold.

Yu Shu smiled at the people, did not agree, turned to the remaining three people, and listened to them explain their intentions one after another, which was similar to the statement of the shopkeeper, and some of the conditions offered were even better.

Five hundred taels a month, six thousand taels a year, and no need to pay taxes, Yu Shu once again sighed that there are many rich people in Anling City.

I think that at the beginning, she used the Liuyao technique to blackmail the Ji family for 2,000 taels of silver, and she was still complacent, but now her name is worth 6,000 taels a year, which is really a person's name. The shadow of the tree, here and there.

The four people present waited for Yu Shu's reply, and when they saw her, they sighed for a while and laughed for a while. 's heart also followed, afraid that she would choose another family, but no one urged her. Don't look at this is a young girl in front of you, if you say it, you dare to argue with Han Wenguang, such characters who haven't been out for ten years, they all have to be careful.

Yu Shu came back to her senses and saw four pairs of eyes staring at her. He smiled, got up and arched his hand:

"A few people went back on my behalf to thank your host, Yu Shu thanked them for their love, but it's a pity that I promised to help others take care of the business, and I don't have the energy to take care of others, so please go back."

She wants to study in the Taishi Academy, and in her spare time, she also has to help Xue Rui with the business of the Forgotten Machine Building. I don't want to be tied up in other affairs anymore, she can't earn these six thousand taels of silver.

The mind has been decided. Yu Shu didn't care how sorry the person came, a few polite words sent the person away, and then went back to the room.

As soon as she changed her coat and washed her face with water, she heard a report from someone outside:

"Girl, Xue Gongzi is here, please come to the front to talk."

Yu Shu raised his head from the basin with a watery face, and it flowed down in a hurry, and the kidney beans hurriedly picked up the towel and was grabbed by Yu Shu. Covering his face for a moment, he took it down, and said helplessly:

"Put on a pot of tea, just say I'll come later."

It's been three days, and I can't hide from him all the time, like a mouse hiding from a cat. That's not going to work.

***

Xue Rui sat in the living room, watching his subordinates go to the backyard to report, he didn't expect to see Yu Shu today, and he didn't want his subordinates to come back to talk after a while, but it was good news.

For three days, he pondered Yu Shu's temper, and he couldn't hide from him for five or six days, no matter how long the time was, even if he wasn't in a hurry, she would not be able to hold her breath, so he went out of the yamen every afternoon, and went to the west of the city, not necessarily to see her, but a statement, so that she knew that he had patience.

Xue Rui picked up the teacup, drank the tea slowly, looked at the direction of the door, Shaoqing, his eyes flashed, and he saw Yu Shu wearing a girdle robe, no hairpin pearl jade, a young man who can be seen everywhere, with his hands on his sleeves, walked in expressionlessly, and sat down opposite him.

"Big brother is so idle, he has time to run to me every day, is my family's tea delicious or whatever, it's better to wait for the next time, I'll wrap you in a tube, you take it back and brew, save the back and forth errands."

As soon as he heard her speak, Xue Rui wanted to laugh, he hadn't been ridiculed by her for a while, but now he felt comfortable listening to her say a few sour words.

"Even if I don't have this tea, I'm still coming," Xue Rui covered the teacup, put it on the coffee table on the side, and suddenly sat up straight, clasped his hands on his knees, leaned forward slightly, looked at her with straight eyes, and said:

"You know I'm not here for a sip of tea."

Xue Rui actually has a pair of peach blossom eyes, because his eyebrows are thick and straight, so he usually doesn't show his beautiful eyes, but if he really stares at a person seriously, it is difficult not to be hooked by his eyes.

Yu Shu was stared at by him like this, he felt that his back was hairy, his face was stiff, and even his breathing was a little difficult, and after enduring it for a while, he finally couldn't hold back, glared at him vigorously, then turned his head, avoided his gaze, and said in annoyance:

"Just let you say one thing and do another to fool me, and don't you want me to be unhappy, I'm not a face-to-face. Earlier, we talked about it well, didn't you already rest your heart on me, and you kept calling me brother and sister, but it turned out to be a lie, and now you have changed your words to say what you like me, what do you tell me to do with you? How are you telling me to take you? If I pretend to be black and reject you, you can't swallow this breath, it seems that I have no heart, and I can't refuse you, do you want me to pretend to be white, and I can't meet you? ”

People's hearts are flesh and blood, Xue Rui treats her well and she saves, but the love between men and women, how can he be good to her, she should promise each other, so that she will not lose her heart and become a deal.

She doesn't want to deal with someone who treats her sincerely, so she can't stand it, and she can't refuse it.

Xue Rui listened to Yu Shu's questioning, and from her heartfelt words, it was not difficult to perceive that she was reluctant to give up the love between them, and secretly said that the subtle transformation of these days was not in vain, looking at her eyes couldn't help but soften, and said softly:

"Who wants you to bend to meet me, I have never persecuted you, and I can't help myself that day, and I don't want to hide it anymore, so I will tell you the truth. Ah Shu, since you can't refuse me, why don't you think about it slowly, treat me as an ordinary man, and see if I am a person worthy of trust. ”

Hearing this, Yu Shu slowly turned his head, looked at him with a positive face, serious, touched a corner of his heart, lowered his eyes, and said lightly:

"Big brother is confused, whether you are a person worth entrusting or not has much to do with me. Men and women go on a blind date, especially royal relatives like you, the most important thing is not to be a household, right, my life experience is just a father who can't live and a mother can't be angry, but I'm a good and strong person, you want me to fall in love with you, how to treat me in the future, which day your family arranges a good family affair for you, you can't refuse, is it difficult for me to succumb to others? ”

After listening to her last sentence, Xue Rui was slightly stunned, looking at the self-deprecation raised at the corners of her mouth, he suddenly realized something, narrowed his eyes, exerted force in his hand, and pinched his bones with a bang, he stood up, walked in front of her in a few steps, lowered his head, and said clearly word by word:

"It seems that I didn't explain it before, and I don't know where to misunderstand you. Listen carefully—if I am with you, I will marry you, and even if you are willing to submit to others, it will depend on whether I will obey you. ”

Such a woman who is more backbone than a man, more affectionate and righteous, he respects and likes her, if she promised him a lifetime, how would he be willing to practice her!

Yu Shu looked at the hem of Xue Rui's clothes in front of him, clenched the armrest, and listened to his cold and hard declarations, suddenly a panic struck, and he was short of breath, and somehow he sat like pins and needles, not daring to raise his head, nor daring to answer, for fear that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would provoke him to say something amazing.

Xue Rui saw her shrinking back again, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that he was anxious just now, and he didn't grasp the right sense of proportion when he spoke, depending on the situation, if he stayed any longer, he might want to provoke her to rebel, hesitated, and he had to soften his voice:

"What I said, think about it, I'll go back first."

After speaking, without waiting for her to reply, he turned around and walked out, and when he was about to reach the door, he paused, turned to look at her, but happened to meet her peeking gaze.

Yu Shu twisted his face in embarrassment, feeling half dead in his heart.

"Ha Lu Ha"

Xue Rui smiled loudly and strode away with his hands behind his back.

Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Yu Shucai turned his head again, looking at Xue Rui's back with a stinky face, his mind turned a thousand times, and he was very entangled.
