Chapter XVII
Mo Zhu found that he was too excited, and his expression was slightly restrained, and his face was slightly urged: "I haven't asked what the name of this book is?" ”
"What I just said is not the whole book, but one of the volumes of the book, each volume of the book is an independent story, the title of the book is "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", and what I just said is the first volume of "Painted Skin"" Lin Wangshu explained to Mozhu.
Mo Zhu secretly admired and nodded at the two, "This kind of writing is novel, dare to ask the two signatures?" ”
The corners of Li Yuan's mouth hooked up a smile, and the two of them didn't need too many hints, and blurted out at the same time, "Pu Songling." ”
"Pu Songling?" Mo Zhu bowed his head, a little puzzled: "Do you want to share the same name?" ”
Li Yuanyuan shook her head, "The story of this book is the story we heard from our dreams, and the author of this book in the dream is named Pu Songling, and the two of us can only be regarded as paraphrasing." ”
In a dream? It's a novel statement.
The man opened his eyes, the tea on the table was already cold, and he looked at the blue tea in the teacup in front of him, and his eyes were deep and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.
"The two of you had such an adventure." Mo Zhu said so, but he still didn't believe it in his heart, what kind of dream? Can two people dream together?
These two little girls must be trying to keep a low profile when they say that, yes, they must be.
Mozhu's side is light on the surface, but in fact, he has already made up a 10,000-word essay in his heart.
Lin Wangshu and Li Yuanyuan didn't know how to guess in his heart, the time spent in the bookstore today was indeed too long, they had just gone out after noon, and now they saw that the sun was gradually sinking in the west, and it was time to leave.
The two then agreed on a delivery time to Mozhu, and then said goodbye.
Seeing that Lin Wangshu and Li Yuanyuan were drifting apart, Mo Zhu closed the door of the bookstore.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw his master walking down the stairs.
The phoenix's eyes drooped slightly, and there was no excessive emotion on his face, so he couldn't see what the situation was.
Mo Zhu's scalp tightened, and the previous master let himself greet the guests, but he saw the good work and suddenly stopped it, so he made the master wait for so long.
He was prepared for a hundred kinds of scolding, and walked to the man as if he were dead.
"Master, I was wrong..........
"Well done."
The two words sounded together, Mo Zhu was stunned, and looked up at the person in front of him a little incredible.
The master of his family waited on the second floor for an afternoon, and Bai waited for an afternoon without scolding him and praising him?????
What a wonder????
The man raised his eyebrows, and there was a smile in his eyes that had always been calm: "Oh? Tell me, what's wrong with you? ”
Mo Zhu just wanted to find a hole to get into, but the master didn't say anything, he took the initiative to admit what was wrong? Well, now it could have been boasted, but now there is a high probability that it will really die.
"Genus.... Subordinate...."Mo Zhu's throat was sluggish for a moment, and his mind was spinning rapidly, how to pass what he had just said. "The subordinates have made the master wait for a long time."
"For a long time?" Yu Shouxue glanced at Mo Zhu, her narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "I think it won't be long." ”
Mo Zhu heard what he said, and his heart was even more bottomless, at this moment it was like a knife on his neck, and he only needed to pull the rope and fall from the head to the ground.
He didn't dare to come out of his nervous atmosphere, for fear that the next sentence would be wrong and make the master unhappy.
"Today's story, don't wait for it." The voice is cool, with some subtle interest.
Mo Zhu raised his head in surprise, but in the next second, he saw Yu Shouxue directly skipping him, and his slender figure directly bypassed the screen on the side, looking like he was going out.
"Master! My subordinates haven't reported those things to you yet! Mo Zhu hurried to catch up, his master really couldn't guess, couldn't guess.
"It's nothing more than those bits and pieces, let's talk about it next time." Yu Shouxue's figure did not pause at all, Ruyu's fingers opened the door, and the afterglow of the setting sun instantly spread on the dark robe, the golden thread flashed, and he looked back, his voice was low, with a little smile.
"I listened to a good story today, and I don't have to be upset by those things."
Half of her face melted into the afterglow, and the other half was covered with a layer of shadow. The phoenix eyes stared at the people in the room, the brilliance alternated, like bright and extinguished, like a god's mansion.
The figures in front of the door staggered, and the setting sun instantly haloed the entire bookstore with a warm yellow halo.
There was a light that caught off guard against stabbing in the eye, Mo Zhu came back to his senses, hurriedly chased after him, turned around and closed the door in one go, and glanced at a thin wooden sign on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and was shocked to realize that he really brushed shoulders with death more than a hundred times today.
"If you don't come along, I'll really have to think about whether I'm going to change someone."
"Hey, master, you wait for me, I'll come." Mo Zhu leaned the sign against the corner of the wall, turned around and ran towards Yu Shouxue.
---------- Dividing Line--------
Imperial.
Wang Li followed behind the eunuch, bypassing the intricate corridors of the palace walls, and was only half a cup of tea away from his destination at most.
He looked up at the back of the eunuch, and his intuition was a little cold behind him, and his throat tightened unconsciously.
"Gonggong Yang, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me late at night, what's the matter?"
The eunuch known as Yang Gonggong, with gray hair and a mahogany whisk in his hand, heard this, he stopped and turned his head, and glanced at Wang Li behind him strangely, and the wrinkles on his face were a little terrifying in the reflection of the night.
"The old slave thinks that Wang Shangshu should know it."
The eunuch dropped a word of incomprehension, turned around and walked on.
Wang Li's uneasy mood was even stronger, it was obviously a winter night, but he was sweating at such a moment, and his back seemed to be soaked in cold sweat, and it was cool.
"Wang Shangshu, you have to hurry up, it's too late, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be unhappy."
Wang Wei tightened up, gritted his teeth and followed behind Yang Gonggong quickly.
The two walked through a circular arch three people wide. The lights on both sides are bright, and directly in front of it is a red wall, about two meters high, covered with glazed tiles.
The head of the wall is built into the shape of breaking waves with ups and downs, and the red lacquer door of the moon hole in the middle is hidden, and the black plaque on the door is written on the blue background with two big characters of "East Palace".
Gonggong Yang pushed open the heavy red lacquered wooden door and motioned to Wang Li: "Wang Shangshu, go in." ”
Wang Li stepped on the high threshold, and his eyes were open.
The bricks made of white marble reflected a miserable white light in the light of the candles in the courtyard, and Wang Li stepped forward on the not long staircase, trembling slightly.
"Your Highness, Wang Shangshu has arrived."
The hall is brightly lit, the cloud top sandalwood is the beam, the pearl is the curtain, and the fan gold is the pillar base, which is extremely extravagant.
A glass screen was placed in the center of the hall, and Ying Ying saw a person sitting behind the screen, with a strong body, and was silent at this time.
When Wang Li stepped into the hall, he was trembling and almost kneeling when he saw the people behind the screen.
"Temple...... Your Highness ......"
Yu Sui crouched in front of the case, staring at the paper on the case and was silent, his sickly face was gloomy, and when he heard Wang Li's voice, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous dark light flashed under his eyes.
He spoke coldly, his tone bloodthirsty.
"."
Wang Li trembled, his legs were weak, and he could bypass the glass screen, and when he saw Yu Sui in front of the case, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the spot.
"Temple.... Your Highness ....." the king fell to the ground and began to tremble involuntarily, "No... I don't know what His Highness has to call the old minister to come late at night, what is his order? ”
Wang Li's hands lying on the ground were bulging, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead began to condense, sliding from the corners of his forehead to his lower jaw, he didn't dare to move, and the beads of sweat slipped down his jaw and fell into the collar.
Yu Sui stared at Wang Li on the ground, his dark eyes were murderous, he casually picked up the bamboo slips on the table and smashed them towards the people on the ground.
"Bang-" The face was caught off guard, and the bamboo slip wiped his face and threw it directly on the ground behind him.
Wang Li didn't even dare to exclaim, his body trembled even more, and the figure that was already lying on the ground dropped a little lower at this time, and he even said something in anticipation: "Your Highness.. Your Highness... Rest your anger, Your Highness! “
"Wang Li."
Yu Sui held the piece of paper in his hand and slowly stood up from the desk, the snake embroidered on the dark robe was like a giant python at the moment, as if it was about to devour the people on the ground in the next second.
The pale and gloomy face actually looked a little bewitching at this time.
"If you want to die, you can tell Gu directly, for the sake of your contribution to Daxuan, Gu will not make you too painful." The words of indifference and bloodthirsty are extremely indifferent.
Wang Li trembled and grabbed the hem of the person in front of him, and the huge fear made him nervous to the limit: "Your Highness, the old minister really doesn't know what to do to make His Highness so angry!" ”
