Chapter 68 Interesting Books Worth a Pound
Chaolu turned over for a while, and his hands were covered with thick dust, but he didn't get anything.
She is very sorry, but there is no way, fortunately she will not be airborne twice, and getting this Zhailin Food Book is already a big receipt.
Chaolu picked up the book on the side and was about to leave, but she slammed into the bookshelf sideways, making her grin in pain.
A few books placed higher on top of the shelves were mixed with dust, which caused her a second damage.
Morning dew:......
She picked up the book on the ground angrily, she really didn't know that the handman put the book so high!
Chaolu picked up the book and shook it, and found that it was a few books of strange words, remembering that she was inexplicably reborn in someone else, she immediately became curious about these books, and with the book of Zhailin Food, she put the book in order and walked to the counter.
Li Yan had already selected the book and waited for her on the edge of the counter with a knife of paper, and when he saw her come out in embarrassment, he teased: "Eat ashes." ”
Chaolu didn't bother to bother with him, "Have you chosen all the books?" ”
He nodded, gesturing behind him.
The shopkeeper twisted his mustache and looked at her with a smile, "This book was taken on the east shelf?" ”
Chaolu looked in the direction of his finger and saw that he was indeed taking it here and there, so he nodded.
The shopkeeper flicked the abacus in his hand, "Go and weigh it." ”
Chaolu: "Huh? ”
Chao Lu said that she didn't understand, Li Yan took the book in her hand over, and she realized that there was a ...... next to Li Yan Steelyard?
"Those books are special commodities, and they are sold by the pound, and they are sold for a pound."
Morning dew said that he had grown knowledge.
The shopkeeper continued to broadcast the abacus in his hand, and said meaninglessly: "The girl is really a warm-hearted person." ”
Chaolu was puzzled, "Why did the shopkeeper say this?" Let's not meet each other. ”
"Didn't the girl keep looking at me as soon as she entered the store, didn't she notice it?" The shopkeeper stopped the abacus in his hand, "Standing on this counter, you can see the situation of the entire bookstore." ”
She had long felt that this counter was not simple, and it was erected on a high place, which she had never seen before. But now that I really stand on this and look at it, I find that it is not only erected on a high place, but also at a tricky angle, which is really as the shopkeeper said and looks at the entire bookstore. I really don't know whose mind is so ingenious.
It seems that her every move just now did not escape the eyes of the shopkeeper, including the little episode with Lu Wan.
"The shop has been in business for many years, and I have seen countless customers, but the most memorable thing for me is that the landlord Lu and his wife, husband and wife, are holding hands and raising their eyebrows. Although the landlord Lu does not love literature and ink, he often comes here because his wife likes poetry and books. "The shopkeeper fell into a good memory," out of the pair, envious of others. ”
"What the hell is the shopkeeper trying to say?" Chaolu was a little impatient, most annoyed by others talking and procrastinating, his eyes glanced at Li Yan's side, and found that he was still queuing up to weigh the book.
"Mrs. Lu came to Landlord Lu alone but didn't accompany her, so I began to wonder in my heart, until she handed me this when she checked out."
Chaolu took the note in his hand, on which was a line of small characters, this was a letter asking for help, asking the shopkeeper to transfer the landlord to Lu not to sign and leave the book, and she could only stay in Tianxiang Town for three more days. The words are like their people, Chaolu can already imagine how gentle and virtuous the woman named Lu Wan is.
Chaolu's expression became more and more solemn the more she looked at it, thinking of the few words she had just heard, and she also had a big outline of this matter in her heart.
Not to mention how Landlord Lu treated her, with this relationship with Su Sanniang, after knowing that they were cousins, she also had to help with this favor.
"They often take care of my business, and they are generous, if I know her intentions but don't help, I'm afraid that I will not be at ease in my life."
Chaolu clenched the note in his hand, "Why don't the shopkeepers go by themselves, what if I can't be trusted?" ”
The shopkeeper slowly moved out of the counter, and Chaolu found him sitting in a chair that could be rotated, and it was actually empty under the robe.
"I can't move, so I can only leave it to others." The shopkeeper was a little helpless, "Since you told the girl, you won't suspect the girl." ”
"I hid behind the counter for many years, and went in and out by the small door behind me, so that for many years no one found out that I was just a wreck."
The shopkeeper looked at Li Yan, more precisely, at the book in Li Yan's hand, "The girl is discerning, and she must not be a person of shallow virtue." ”
As soon as Chaolu heard it, he knew that the shopkeeper's heart was bright, and he was not a person who regarded the jewel as a fish, and he also knew it when he thought about it.
"Since the shopkeeper's words are all about this, I'll help you with this favor!" Chao Lu put away the note and put the money bag in front of the shopkeeper, "When the price comes out, take the money from it, and give the rest to my friend, tell him to go back first, and I will go to Lu Mansion." ”
"Thank you, girl!"
Chaolu's movements were fast, and he ran all the way with the memory of going to Lu Mansion with Su Sanniang last time. The carriage of the Su family has been sent back by her, and there is no place to hire carriages and horses here, so she can only rely on two legs.
By the time she arrived at the Lu Mansion, she was already out of breath, and she could only hold on to the pillar by the gate.
She asked people to go in and spread the word, but it was Su Sanniang who came out, and she was very surprised to see Chaolu.
In the restaurant, she and Su Yiyan directly sent the landlord Lu back to the Lu Mansion, because he had been drunk and unconscious, and there was no one in the mansion who could take charge, so they stayed first.
"Give, give to the landlord Lu." Chaolu handed the crumpled note in his hand to Su Sanniang.
Su Sanniang unfolded the note, saw the words on it, her pupils shrank, and then silently put the note away and helped Chaolu in.
After pouring a few mouthfuls of water into Chaolu, he recovered, blinked his eyes and looked at Su Sanniang who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Where is Landlord Lu?" Give him the note! ”
"He's not awake yet." Su Sanniang handed the note in her hand to Su Yiyan beside her, and then said, "It's too late." ”
"What?" She's not slow, she's very physical, and she's pretty fast.
"Half an hour ago, my cousin just woke up once, but the wine has not yet woken up, the Lu family just sent someone to send and leave the book, he saw that Wan Niang had already signed, so angry that he was dizzy, and went to the study on the spot to find a pen to sign, and threw the book on the man's face."
Half an hour ago, it was not long before they left the restaurant, but she only saw Lu Wan before a pillar of incense. Chaolu thought of Lu Wan's scathing sister-in-law, thinking that she had played a trick, coaxing Lu Wan to let her relax her vigilance on the surface, but behind her back, she got Lu Wan's signature and sent someone to send and leave the book.
Su Yiyan hugged Su Sanniang on the side and patted her on the shoulder, "It's a foregone conclusion, it's useless to think too much." ”
For now, I still want to think about what to do when Lu Yixian wakes up and finds out what stupid things he did. Another headache.
Su Sanniang held his hand back, so it gradually became a crying voice, "I was the one who facilitated this marriage at the beginning, thinking that my cousin's temperament was too rough, Wan Niang was a gentle and delicate person, and the two were interested in each other, but the result was ......"
"Can you blame the matchmaker for a bad marriage?" Su Yiyan saw that Su Sanniang was so sad and felt distressed, "They did it themselves!" ”
"Didn't she leave three days later? As long as people haven't left, isn't there still a chance? ”
Su Sanniang said: "My cousin drank to death this time, and he poured three jars of drunken wine in Tianxiang Restaurant, how can he relieve his hangover in three days." ”
"The Lu family is an official family, we are a business trip, Yixian and Lishu have been signed, and there is no reason to stop each other."
The matter is deadlocked.
