Yu Zhiyan came to the Zhegui Library, but saw carved beams and painted pillars, there were many literati in Beijing, and there were few guests in this academy.

Yu Zhenyan entered the house, but saw several rows of vermilion cabinets placed in the house, and the warm sunlight penetrated through the vermilion carved wooden windows, inlaying each ancient book with a layer of gold frost.

The walls of the house are hung with ancient paintings of plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums, and bursts of cigarettes are rising from the incense burner.

Maybe I haven't seen a customer for a long time, and the owner of the shop is sitting on a chair and sipping tea, very comfortable.

Because he didn't come in to buy books, Yu Zhiyan looked very nervous, and observed the appearance of the boss more carefully.

But I saw that the man was tall and large, with delicate eyes protruding from his eyes, but his cheeks were short and yellow, and he did not look like a businessman, but like a soldier, and there was no such shrewd calculation in his eyes.

looked up at Yu Zhiyan, but saw that she was still carrying a pink-carved child beside her, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"What book is Madame looking for?" He put down the teapot in his hand and hurriedly stood up to greet the guest.

"You have a book called Fengjian here, and I want to copy it by hand." According to Gu Jue's explanation that day, if you come to find him, this book will be a code.

Hearing this, the owner of the shop hurriedly smiled and said, "You really know the goods, and that book is only available in our store in the capital, but it costs twenty taels of silver." ”

Yu Zhiyan saw that the code was right, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Chuxiu, and saw that she was looking at the volume on the bookcase, and then slowly relaxed

tone, "I'll only give fifteen taels, and I won't give one or two more." ”

The boss coughed, "Madame is really a person who knows the goods, so I will order someone to pick it up." ”

After saying that, he said a few words to the guy behind him, and the guy hurriedly went out through the side door.

Arnold had never entered the bookstore, and his agate-like eyes were rolling, but his face was full of joy.

However, because he was afraid of running water, there was nothing to warm in the house, and Arnold's thin white neck was deeply retracted into the fur collar made of rabbit fur.

Yu Zhiyan glanced at Chu Xiu and ordered: "Go and bring Arnold's hand stove, it's so cold, I'm afraid she will freeze." ”

Although Izumi was reluctant, she still lowered her body slightly, "Yes." ”

As soon as Yu Zhiyan finished speaking, Arnold rushed into the bookshelf, and his little hands kept groping in the ancient books.

She was very happy to see Arnold playing by herself, so she also found the book, but looking at the price marked on it, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, it was so expensive.

Yu Zhiyan picked out a few books casually, all of which are difficult to find in the world.

She was looking closely, but a pair of cool hands touched her cheeks.

Yu Zhiyan was looking carefully with his head down, and he was so frightened that the book in his hand almost fell to the ground. Without thinking about it, she reached out and gave the person opposite her a resounding slap.

She glared angrily, "Presumptuous. ”

When I looked up, I saw that the man was tall, but the face was really ugly and ugly, with dark spots dotted on it, and two beards on his cheeks.

And the man was slapped, and he also covered his face blankly, and his dark eyes were full of shock.

Yu Zhiyan saw that he was being despised by such a disgusting person, and he opened his mouth angrily to shout. The guards she brought with her were all outside the house, and they would come in with a single shout and tear the man to pieces.

Before she could shout, the ugly man pressed her against the wall, and then reached out to cover her open mouth.

"It's me." Gu Jue was slapped for no reason, and his voice was full of anger, "What are you crazy about." ”

Yu Zhiyan heard his familiar voice, and then looked at his face with a stunned face, and after a closer look, he realized that the spots on his face could actually be made of dark ink spots, and the beard was also the hair of a ponytail.

"It turned out to be you, I thought it was a disciple." Yu Zhiyan clutched his chest and glared at him fiercely.

Seeing her frightened look, Gu Jue's anger in her stomach also subsided by more than half, "Your temper is getting bigger and bigger, I rushed over as soon as I received the letter, and I came to look for me on the second day after arriving in the capital, I didn't expect you to think of me like this." ”

Seeing that there was playfulness in his voice, Yu Zhiyan blushed with shame, and said busily: "Where do I want to see you, it's Arnold who wants to see you." ”

At the mention of this, Arnold remembered his daughter, and he didn't know where she had gone.

She pushed Gu Jue away angrily, and only looked for it along the shelf, but after taking a few steps, she saw Arnold take out a book scroll from the cabinet and squat on the ground to look carefully.

"Sure enough, it's my daughter, although she can't read, but she still reads it with relish, and she will definitely be a female champion in the future." Yu Zhiyan's voice was full of pride.

Gu Jue stood behind her, lowered his voice and said in her ear, "Our daughter is really discerning, this is the most prestigious picture album in this study, you can go back and take a look." ”

Yu Zhiyan felt strange, and was about to check what her daughter was looking at, but was pulled behind the bookshelf by Gu Jue.

It just so happened that the row of bookshelves was very narrow, and the two people stood opposite each other.

Her hair was fragrant and delicate, and he was much taller than her, and when he looked down, he saw her long eyelashes flickering like butterfly wings.

He felt himself short of breath and looked down to kiss her on the lips.

Seeing his face getting closer and closer, Yu Zhiyan subconsciously reached out and slapped him in the face, with a crisp sound, even Yu Zhiyan was stunned.

After such a while, Gu Jue was slapped twice, and the first time she recognized the wrong person, so it was someone else. However, now that he knows that it is him, he is still so ruthless, which makes Gu Jue not angry.

Yu Zhiyan rubbed his red palms, saw that his face was full of anger, and said busily: "Your face is so ugly, I can't help but want to do it as soon as I get closer." ”

The makeup on his face now is really disgusting, especially the speckled pockmarks, which makes her creepy.

Seeing that she had no intention of repentance, Dong Lang became more and more annoyed, and her black and white eyes glared at her fiercely, "Could it be that when I am old and ugly, you will dislike me when I become like this?" ”

Yu Zhiyan pondered for a moment, and then nodded solemnly, "En." ”

Seeing that she actually admitted it, Gu Jue was furious, and for fear that others would find out that they were here, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "When you are ugly and your face is full of wrinkles, I will also be disgusted with you." ”

Seeing that he was so angry, Yu Zhiyan could only close his eyes, tiptoe and kiss him on the lips.

"That's it." Yu Zhiyan coaxed him in a slow voice, "Don't make trouble." ”

Gu Jue couldn't see what she was doing, and stretched out his calloused fingers to pinch her chin, "Why are your eyes closed?" ”

Yu Zhiyan slowly opened his eyes, and said a little innocently, "When you open your eyes, you want to reach out and hit you, do you still want to be slapped?" ”

Gu Jue smiled angrily again, and the two handfuls of beard on his lips also trembled. His eyes immediately fell on the book that Yu Zhiyan was holding tightly in his arms, and then said: "This basic book is the only one, it seems that the lady can make me a windfall. ”

"It's all a family, and it's too cruel to ask me for silver." Yu Zheyan bargained, "And then your daughter is used to read and write, you have to do your best as a father." ”

Gu Jue smiled cunningly, "The family also has to settle accounts, and besides, you bought it for Arnold, why should I be so wronged." ”

Yu Zhiyan was a little annoyed, and when he was about to speak, he saw Arnold coming over with a book, and saw Yu Zhiyan and said with a smile: "Auntie, it turns out that you are hiding here." ”

Seeing that his daughter was coming, Gu Jue reached out to hug her, but who knew that he had just stretched out his hand, but Arnold cried out in shock.

His hand froze there, but Yu Zhiyan took his daughter in his arms one step ahead of him, "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Zhiyan's voice was distressed, and he slowly patted Arnold's back for the crying and almost out of breath.

"Ugly." Arnold's thin fingers slowly pointed at Gu Jue, who was stunned, and then shrank into Yu Zhiyan's arms in fright.

"Poof." Yu Zhiyan looked at Gu Jue's iron-blue face, and his smiling eyes were crooked, "He's just ugly, Arnold is really right." ”

When Arnold heard Yu Zhiyan say the same, he felt more and more that Gu Jue's dress was very ugly, so he only buried his face on Yu Zhiyan's shoulder and choked up.

"Yo, you're here to find the lady just now, she's picking out a book." The boss's voice came, and the voice was extremely loud, as if warning something.

At this moment, a gentle footstep sounded slowly, and Gu Jue, who was still angry, suddenly changed his face, turned around and walked towards the other side of the bookshelf, until the books blocked his tall body.

Yu Zhiyan turned his head in a panic, but saw Chu Xiu coming over, his eyes looking around, as if he was looking for something.

"You're back?" Yu Zhiyan asked casually, and then reached out and threw the selected book into Ke Xiu's arms, along with the one Arnold was holding.

Seeing that there was no one around, Izuku sorted out the books in his hand and handed the hand stove he had just brought to Yu Zhiyan.

Yu Zhiyan was placed in Arnold's arms, and his eyes inadvertently looked at the place where Gu Jue was hiding, and then said lightly: "Let's go." ”

The owner of the shop seemed to be relieved when he saw Yu Zhiyan come out.

Chuxiu hurriedly handed over the book in his arms, and the boss sat down and pulled the abacus for a while, and then said, "A total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver." ”

"Why is it so expensive, don't you see that we are women, and you deceive us so much." I don't believe that the price of a few books is so expensive.

"You are not as knowledgeable as your wife, these books are all unique, and these silver taels are also cheap." The boss smiled coldly, and seemed to look down on Xiu.

Chuxiu's face suddenly turned pale, and he only said to Yu Zhen in a sneering manner: "Madam, the slave maid only has one hundred and thirty taels of silver on her, after buying this, you will go to buy hairpins in a while, I am afraid that the fabric is not enough." ”

Yu Zhiyan said lightly: "It's okay, Arnold's learning is the most important thing." ”

Hearing this, Xiu had to pay the silver and wait for the boss to wrap the books in oilcloth. saw Arnold with red eyes and said softly: "Auntie, Arnold also followed you to buy hairpins." ”

Yu Zhiyan touched her still wet little face with her fingers, "Okay, Arnold will go and pick it for her mother." ”

When Yu Zhiyan came out of the store with Arnold in his arms, he saw that there were sour pears selling on the road, and Arnold had to shout for food, so Yu Zhiyan had to tell the guards to buy them.

It wasn't until he was delayed for a while that Yu Zhiyan arrived at a nearby jewelry store, and then entered the store, only to see a dazzling array of crowns, mirror combs, and fat powder on the cabinets.

The boss here is completely different from the bookstore just now, with a shrewd philistine appearance, seeing Yu Zhiyan coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

Yu Zhiyan's gaze fell on the hairpin ring that had been dotting the green, a snow lotus bloomed quietly on the hairpin, and there was a pendant like a lotus seed, which was very elegant and dusty.

Yu Zhiyan slowly put the hairpin on his bun, and then asked Arnold beside him, "A-Niang is beautiful with this?" ”

Arnold could see what he could see, but nodded obediently, "Well, A-Niang looks good, and she is beautiful in everything." ”

Hearing her daughter's praise, Yu Zhenyan pursed her lips and chuckled, then looked up and asked the boss, "How many silver taels is this hairpin?" ”

"This hairpin costs twelve taels of silver." The boss smiled and said, "Madame is a person who knows the goods, and the craftsman who makes this hairpin is a person from the palace office, and they are all used by the ladies in the palace." ”

Yu Zhiyan glanced at it, the boss did not lie, and could only take the hairpin off his head with some disappointment.

At this moment, the boss smiled, "Look at the lady's kind face, I have an excellent hairpin to sell you, as long as you have one or two silver." ”

Yu Zhiyan always felt that there was fraud in it, and before she could refuse, she saw the boss take out a jade box from the top and slowly handed it to Yu Zhiyan.

When she opened it, she couldn't help but gasp.

She looked at the hairpin in her hand, not big or small, the thin hairpin was inlaid with a circle of eyeball-sized eastern pearls, but the core was round and transparent, with a delicate texture, like clotted fat, as ruddy as blood.

Yu Zhiyan is also a person from a big family, this hosta is a rare phoenix blood stone in a hundred years, not to mention one or two silver, even a thousand taels of silver is also worth it.

"Is it really a tael of silver?" Yu Zhiyan's face was full of astonishment, "This is a phoenix bloodstone, are you really willing to give it up?" ”

The boss touched the beard on his chin, "Look at the girl is destined, so naturally she is a talker." ”

Yu Zhiyan called out Xiu and took a tael of silver out, and then for fear that the boss would regret it, he hurriedly took Arnold out of the store, knowing that seeing the bustling crowd on the street, Yu Zhiyan knew that he had made a windfall.

However, when Yu Zhiyan came to the cloth shop, Yu Zhiyan called out Xiu and the guards to guard the door, and took Arnold inside.

Arnold looked at the colorful silk very fondly, and his dark eyes glanced left and right.

The boss seemed to know that she was coming, so he only glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Madam, please take a seat, I have already prepared a fine tea, you rest here, and I will bring the fabric." ”

Yu Zhiyan saw that he was very attentive, and hurriedly sat on the chair with Arnold, but after a while, the boss came out with a makeup satin, and said with a smile on his face, "This only costs one or two silver, you can like it." ”

This satin is a fine silk, and a whole horse is a hundred taels of silver, and now it is only a tael of silver, unless the boss is insane.

The first time he encountered this, Yu Zhiyan must have thought that he had made good luck, and if it was the second time, it would be something strange.

At this time, a woman happened to be in this cloth shop, and hurriedly walked over, and hurriedly said, "I want this cloth for a tael of silver." ”

The boss scratched his head with an ugly face, then glanced at Yu Zhiyan and said, "This can only be sold to that lady." ”

When the woman saw that she was not greedy for a bargain, she said angrily, "Why should you only sell it to her?" ”

"yes, why did you sell it to me so cheaply?" Yu Zhiyan had already expected it, "Isn't it that someone has already given you the silver in advance."

Finish? ”

The boss smiled, "Madame is really a smart person." ”

Yu Zhiyan called out Xiu to come in and pay with a smile on his face, and Xiu was stunned when he saw that such a good material only cost one or two silver.

But she is a personal maid at any time, but Yu Zhiyan treats her very kindly, and even warns of her everywhere, so she doesn't dare to say the doubts in her heart.

*************

Yu Zhiyan walked around for a long time, his body was very tired, and after bringing it back to the mansion, he hurriedly asked someone to prepare bath water, and then went to bathe and change clothes.

Feng Huang came from the palace, the injuries on his body had not healed, and his steps were a little vain.

Liu Xuanwu helped him into the house, and when he saw that there was only one charcoal basin in the house, he asked someone to bring one more.

Hearing that Yu Zhiyan had gone to bathe and change clothes, he went to Arnold's house to see her.

Arnold was lying on the table and looking at a few books, when he heard the sound, the playful and cute little face suddenly lifted up, and when he saw Feng Huang coming in, he smiled brightly, "Uncle." ”

Arnold is a heartless child, and he has long thrown away the murder of Feng Huang in the palace that day.

Seeing Arnold's child running towards Fenghuang, Liu Xuanwu was very frightened, for fear that the child would hurt the dragon body.

He just wanted to stop Arnold, but saw Feng Huang hug Arnold tightly, and then walked to the desk.

"Your Majesty, you better put down Miss Arnold, if you hurt the dragon's body, ten heads of the slave will not be enough to cut off." Liu Xuanwu

Faces full of worry.

Feng Huang glanced at him, "I'm fine, don't retreat quickly." ”

Liu Xuanwu saw that Feng Huang's eyes were cold, and he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he had to close the door and retreat.

Feng Huang hugged Arnold to the desk before putting it down, then sat on a chair and looked at the scrolls on it, "These are all bought by your mother?" ”

Arnold nodded obediently, "A-Niang said that Arnold has grown up and is going to read and write." ”

He flipped through the books, but they were just folk tales, living nursery rhymes and poems, but they were also things that were hard to find on the market.

And when I saw the last one, my good-looking eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and when I opened it, my face turned red.

"It's-"

There was a trace of astonishment in his eyes, how could such an unsightly Qinglou album be here.

Arnold said happily: "This is Arnold's personal pick, martial arts cheats." ”
