In the afternoon, people came and went from Dongshi to Gouji Ridge, and several students from the scripture writing workshop, including Wu Cailuan, followed Gao Yue and came to the front of the business mansion in Fangshengchi, "Wow, tsk, this mansion is really big!" Wu Cailuan was dumbfounded, stood at the foot of the steps of the mansion, looked at the wide roof trusses and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is three points bigger than the scripture writing workshop of Shengye Temple?" The other students also echoed and admired.

"From now on, this place will be called 'Retreat'." Gao Yue said to you with great confidence.

Zhi Hui walked out of the business mansion, saluted everyone, and then took out a silk handkerchief and wiped Gao Yue's sweat, "Third brother, everything is ready inside." ”

Gao Yue said yes, and then stepped in, Wu Cailuan and others followed, only to see that the main hall is full of bricks and stones, mixed with flowers and plants, rows of vacant bookshelves, in the middle of an ebony counter, there is a plaque hanging on the back wall, written "Retreat Zhai" three big characters, next to each of them there is a pair of poems, "travel in the clouds and water without business", "expensive to buy piano books have money": because the surrounding squares around the East City are mostly official eunuchs and wealthy families, so the poetry couplet of this bookstore has to reveal the atmosphere of wealth and leisure.

Then Zhi Hui led everyone and looked at the east and west wings behind the mansion, "The east chamber is a place for you to rest and bring engraved books, and the west chamber is a place for cooks to eat." Then Zhihui pointed to the row of rooms behind her, and said that there was a small mansion where books and engravings were stored.

Gao Yue stood in the courtyard and said his plan to the students: "You know, every year since September, the whole Chang'an City is the scene of Mai Yi like snow full of Jiuqu, what do you need to take the exam, of course, it is the scriptures, the questions, the judgments, these brackets, of course, the most urgent is the rhyme that the Cailuan refiner can copy, so the retreat must be engraved these things as the priority." ”

"How about a replica of this if it was bought by other bookstores?"

"It's okay, the tiger-shaped seal and handwriting of the Cailuan refiner are unique, and the logo can be changed every time to prevent counterfeiting." Gao Yue said, and then added, "In addition, the new giant compilation I wrote under the pseudonym of Shaoling Xiaoxiaosheng will also ask the refiner and you to publish it as soon as possible, and in the future, one-third of the books for the exam-taking exam, one-third for my legendary masterpiece, and the other one-third - I will let the Cailuan refiner be the head ......."

Shop, I'm the shop! Wu Cailuan almost couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly asked how much the shop's maid fee was a month, "Seven times the money, as well as the kitchen material money and the foot power money, in addition, the Cailuan refiner can still copy the handwritten book for others to cut the rhyme to earn external benefits when he is free." When Gao Yue reported the commission fee, Cailuan was very excited, and then Gao Yue Zhengse said to her, "Lianshi, as the head of the shop, you have to run around the mansions of various scribes in Chang'an City on weekdays, collect their proud poems and songs, and contact people extensively. ”

As they spoke, they went out.

Gao Yue also told you some knowledge about the books placed on the shelves immediately, after all, it was not for nothing that he was a "librarian" in Jixian Academy.

"Yi Song, Yi Song, what are you doing with building a wall outside here?" Wu Cailuan glared and asked questions around a wall in front of the entrance of the mansion.

"The refiner will soon know." Gao Yue smiled and sold a pass.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yue suddenly heard a fierce commotion coming from the East Market, so he followed the prestige, and saw two Sogdian merchants with curly hair and beards arguing with a woman with a little girl who seemed to be a slave in the palace of an official eunuch, the little girl was barefoot, her clothes were in tatters, and she had a bamboo basket on her head, which was supposed to be the woman's daughter.

Gao Yue took a few steps forward, and it seemed that the woman had come to the Sogdian shop to buy cheese for the mansion, but the Sogdian merchant had made a false quotation for money, and when it was time to pay the bill, the woman realized that she had been deceived, and if she bought the cheese, she would have to pay three times the price, so she said that she would not buy it, but the Sogdian merchant became angry and said that since she had just talked about it, she had to give money, and the woman cried, "The house has given me so much money, what can I do with the extra money?" The Sogdian merchant waved his hand and shouted at the woman's daughter, telling her to go back to her house and get the money, or not let her mother go.

The little girl was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying, and the people around her became more and more crowded, and the Sogdians in the shops next to her also looked at each other, leaned over fiercely, and kept patting the sabers on their belts, shouting nonsense, and continuing to intimidate the mother and daughter.

The city officials of the East City seemed to see that they were making a lot of noise, so they also came over to prepare for the disposal. At the gate of the East Market, Guo Tuo, the thief arrester of Wannian County, who heard the sound of the alarm cymbal, and his son Guo Xiaofeng, who happened to be Xiu Mu today, learned that there was a commotion in the East Market, so he also walked in with a knife and prepared to press it.

As soon as the crowd was cleared, I saw that several Sogdian Hu merchants actually began to beat and push the little girl, the little girl fell to the ground, crying even more miserably, the woman roared, scratched Hu Shang's face with her hands, scratched several people one after another, and the whole scene was instantly chaotic. "It's really unreasonable!" Gao Yue became angry, and he wanted to step forward and reason with this group of lawless Hu Shang.

Hu Shang loved his face the most, and he also liked to apply sesame oil to his braids, and now he was scratched by this woman and bloodied, and his hair was scattered, and he couldn't help but be furious, and evil was born from the side of his guts, so he shouted a few times: At this time, a drunken Hui, hearing Hu Shang's shout, staggered out of the shop, pulled out the blade with a thud, and stabbed the woman in the abdomen.

Suddenly, the people around the entire shop were stunned.

Even Gao Yue was stunned.

"Hu Shang hurt people's lives!" I don't know how long it took, but this terrible cry exploded, and people ran and shouted everywhere.

The woman convulsed in pain, knelt on the ground, bleeding from her mouth and nose, and fell on the sand with a bang, Gao Yue saw with her own eyes, her intestines flowed out, and the man still raised the bloodstained knife, gestured loudly, shouted and kept shouting, and then lifted the knife and walked towards the little girl who was sitting on the ground so frightened that she couldn't cry.

He's going to kill!

With the last of her strength, the woman let her intestines continue to flow, grabbed the leg of the man's trousers to prevent him from hurting her daughter, gasped for breath, and then cried out for help in a weak voice.

"Stop!" Gao Yue's blood and anger surged, he rushed up, helped the frightened and paralyzed little girl, and gritted his teeth to drag her to safety.

Then the drunkard continued to scream, and with another knife slashed the woman's neck, and in the horror of the crowd, blood splattered several feet high, and the woman fell with her eyes wide open, and she stiffened her hand and fell.

Then the drunken man waved his knife and rushed up, aiming at Gao Yue and the little girl with a blow.

Gao Yue tried his best, hugged the little girl back to avoid the knife light, and then felt a sharp pain in his arm: Oops, it was scratched.

"Third brother! Yi Song! Zhi Hui and Wu Cailuan, as well as several scholars, shouted and pounced.

"There's no royal law?" Guo Xiaofeng, who arrived, also shouted angrily, and was just about to step forward, but was stopped by his father, "Don't move." ”
