The elegant surroundings of the Takeyin Pavilion itself, as well as the delicacies that Beijing is famous for, made it perfect for this guest from afar. Chu Yongyi's identity is complicated, and the place to talk about business naturally chooses a place other than the Qin Palace, and the box of the Zhuyin Pavilion has become his first choice for talking with Meng Shen.

The two of them were not talking about a secret, and it was a cooking competition. The second floor was empty and there were no other guests. The door was ajar as we talked, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the lobby drifted into the room.

However, this moving music did not calm the current dream.

The richness of the conditions offered by Yu Yongyi made Mengshen feel afraid. For the people in front of him, Meng Shen doesn't know much. There is no pie in the sky, and he has to guard against possible calculations.

"I take the liberty of asking, why do you want to get rid of Wenjin Bookstore? The reputation of Wenjin Bookstore has been heard as far as Xiajiang, so it will not be beyond its means, so it is urgent to get rid of it. ”

"I just have other things I want to do, and I don't have time to manage the bookstore. Even if Master Meng doesn't take over, he will give it to others. It is better to have reliable people to take over and grow than to let it go in the future. ”

Meng Shen nodded and said, "There is some truth in it...... However, the stakes are high, and it needs to be considered before replying. ”

With Meng Shen's words, Chu Yongyi was a lot relieved, and said with a smile: "This matter is not urgent, Master Meng has made a decision, and he ordered someone to send a letter to Wenjin Bookstore." ”

The two got along happily, and after a brief chat, Chu Yongyi sent Meng Shen away. When the people walked away, Gonggong Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the letter from Wenjin Bookstore to Chu Yongyi.

Chu Yongyi, who was in a good mood, calmly opened the envelope and took out the thin letter paper. There is not much content on the stationery, and you can read it at a glance.

Chu Yongyi glanced at it lightly, and the smile froze on his face. With a snap, he slapped the letter on the table, and hurriedly turned around and rushed out of the box.

Gonggong Zheng picked up the poor abandoned stationery, glanced at the contents on it, and then sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Li Jiangwei sat stiffly, with her hands clenched into fists on her knees. She had been sitting in her room for a long time, and when she thought it was time to leave, she sat back timidly.

Compared with Shengyu, Li Jiangwei actually felt that today's Gao Mao was more terrifying. His words on the street clearly wanted to use his words to force himself to comply. The women of the Gong Dynasty are not as restrained as the previous dynasty, and if there is anything that damages their reputation, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Beijing.

Even if the emperor has the heart to protect herself, there is nothing she can do about this kind of thing.

Li Jiangwei got up again, took a step forward with her right foot and retracted it, and sat down dejectedly.

If only someone could help me see if Gao Mao had left......

The finches outside the house were chirping, so lively. Today, the sky is clear and the sun is just right, and the shadows of the delicate carvings on the window lattices are printed on the ground.

The sound of the door opening breaking the silence of the house. Li Jiangwei stood up sharply and looked in the direction of the door. The bright sunlight shone on Chu Yongyi's body, he opened his mouth slightly and panted, and his tightly knit brows gradually stretched.

Chu Yongyi closed his lips and moved his throat slightly, and after a few breaths calmed down, he asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Li Jiangwei was stunned, she blinked.

Chu Yongyi glanced back, and after making sure that the door was closed, he continued to ask, "Why did you come suddenly?" ”

"I ......"

Li Jiangwei hesitated to say anything about Gao Mao.

"That's not right! How did you end up here! ”

"You said you had something going on, and you wanted to come to the bookstore to hide...... I'm a little worried......"

"What do I have to worry about!"

"That's ......" Chu Yongyi turned his face away and whispered: "Worry about ......"

Li Jiangwei was speechless and choked, and her hands unconsciously curled up her sideburns.

"Also...... Nothing to do either...... Did you meet someone you didn't like on the road? ”

"Huh? Who is it? ”

"It's a cousin who is not related by blood......"

Chu Yongyi's mind flashed the emotional stories of those cousins and cousins in the script, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Oh? You have to talk about it, I want to hear it. ”

Chu Yongyi's face changed very quickly, and Li Jiangwei was stunned.

"Also...... Nothing ......."

"If you don't answer, I'll treat you as what you have."

"It's really nothing!"

In desperation, Li Jiangwei truthfully informed Chu Yongyi of Gao Mao's break-into the Qingxue courtyard several times and the incident of sending Yu to be chased by geese. Before she talked about it today, Li Jiangwei was already dry-mouthed.

This room was specially reserved for Chu Yongyi to entertain guests, and it was much smaller than the study room of the Qin Palace. There is a set of desks and chairs, a set of round tables with eight round stools, a Bogu shelf, and an unfilled bookcase.

The two of them sat next to each other on the round stool, Chu Yongyi listened to Li Jiangwei's narration silently, and picked up the tea set on the round table.

There was tea in the white porcelain teapot on the table, Chu Yongyi poured out the tea, touched the temperature of the cup wall with his fingers, and poured the tea back into the teapot.

"You...... Listening? ”

"Yes." Chu Yongyi lifted the teapot and replied, "Wait for me for a while." ”

I saw him get up neatly, leave the door with the teapot, and after a while, carry another blue and white teapot back to the house.

"You can go on."

Chu Yongyi sat down unhurriedly, poured out the tea in the blue and white teapot, and white water vapor suddenly filled up above the white porcelain teacup. He pushed the full white porcelain teacup to Li Jiangwei and smiled at her casually.

"What? Don't go any further? If you're thirsty, there's warm tea. The taste of this tea is light, and the aftertaste is sweet and not bitter. It's a pity that there is no fruit in the bookstore, and it can't be made as fruit tea. ”

"How do you mention fruit tea?"

"I heard from the cook of the Zhuyin Pavilion, she should have heard it from Miss Wu. Both of them love to talk, and they talk about everything when they get together, and they can't hide things. ”

In Li Jiangwei's memory, there is only one cook in Zhuyin Pavilion. can talk about status, status and friendship, it is impossible for Ju Xia to take the initiative to tell Chu Yongyi this.

But the people in front of her didn't say anything, and Li Jiangwei didn't want to ask more, so she smiled and took the tea cup to moisten her thirsty throat.

"What about my cousin's follow-up?"

"Where did you just go?"

"Speaking of the jade he gave you to the Jade Pavilion."

Li Jiangwei recalled, starting from Zhai Lianzhen's help, until Gao Mao's mother and son left the house.

"I thought they wouldn't see each other again after they moved out. Unexpectedly, when I went to watch the cooking competition today, Gao Mao suddenly appeared and patted me on the shoulder......"

"Later, I didn't run away, and he was full of nonsense and beat him up. I said that he was a liar, and used the second volume of "Overseas Traces" to deceive me for five taels of silver......"

Hearing this, Chu Yongyi burst out laughing.

"You're the author of 'Lost Overseas'! You haven't even made a book, where did others get the next book? ”

Li Jiangwei, who originally thought that she was extremely witty, suddenly blushed when she heard this, "Expedient! Will write! Will write! ”

"Oh? So when to start writing? ”

"Next time, definitely!"
