"What else do you want to do!" Xiao Chen stared at Song Qinglun coldly, but Song Qinglun smiled disdainfully at him, and then looked at Lin Shuran, who was protected by Xiao Chen, "I was in a hurry to offend Mrs. Xu just now, and I asked Mrs. Xu to accept this apology, otherwise I will always feel guilty." ”

Then, he glanced at Su Wanwan with a displeased expression, and his tone sounded gloomy and slow: "Mrs. Xiao, remember not to talk nonsense next time, Buddhism has a saying, and those who slander others will go to the Infernal Hell!" ”

Su Wanwan was frightened by the ruthlessness in Song Qinglun's eyes, she just said two words to Lin Shuran, this man seemed to be going to kill herself, obviously she was the most wronged person, why did they protect Lin Shuran whether it was her husband Xiao Chen or this man who looked like Gu Jingcheng.

"Song Gongzi, there is no need to apologize!" Lin Shuran also felt that Song Qinglun in front of her was not a good person, and she didn't want to have too much contact with him, so she refused the glutinous rice cake in his hand, turned around and got into the carriage and left.

On the way back, Lin Shuran sat in the carriage and remained silent, Chunxi was worried that she was worried that she was deeply involved in the past with Gu Jingcheng because she saw Song Qinglun, so she tried to change the topic and said, "Miss, there is one thing that the slave maid can't understand?" ”

Chunxi's interruption, Lin Shuran, who was still thinking about Song Qinglun's true identity, came to her senses, she had a slight smile on her face, and asked her, "What do you don't understand?" ”

Seeing that Lin Shuran was attracted by his question, Chunxi immediately said out loud: "In Yaoguang Pavilion just now, why did the shopkeeper take out more than 1,000 taels of jewelry?" Did he deliberately try to cheat your money? This shop is not honest in business! ”

Chunxi really thinks that Yaoguang Pavilion deliberately cheats people, the poor people in this store dare not enter, and the rich people will be pitted if they enter, and no one will come out to take care of it.

After hearing this, Lin Shuran couldn't help but joke with her: "Chunxi, when did you know how to do business, how can you see that people are not honest in doing business and are still cheating?" ”

"The slave and maid look at that head is not worth a thousand taels of silver, when I was in the Lin family before, the eldest young grandmother also had a set of jade head and face dowry, and it looked very good, I heard the sisters in her courtyard say that the set of head noodles was bought for two hundred taels, and the slave and maid looked no different from the one that Miss Gu was leaving!" When Chunxi was in the Lin family, he once went to Ming's yard to do errands, and saw Ming's set of jade heads, and I thought it was very gorgeous and good-looking, similar to the set of heads I saw today.

Naturally, there is a difference, in Lin Shuran's opinion, it is always a penny for a penny, some things look the same, in fact, the inside is very different, Yaoguang Pavilion is one of the best places in the capital to sell high-end jewelry, I heard that even the prince and princess like to buy things here, so the quality of this jewelry is still good.

As for why the shopkeeper took those jewelry with a price of more than 1,000 taels to herself at the beginning, it should be the shopkeeper's instructions, after all, she just spent 1,000 taels to buy jewelry to add makeup to Gu Xiruo, and the county lord of Xiqing is much more noble than Gu Xiruo.

I have to say that the shopkeeper of Yaoguang Pavilion is a personal essence, whether his move is a kind reminder or a deliberate embarrassment, Lin Shuran doesn't want to delve into it, if everything is true and cares about everything, that person should be tired of living, she prefers to be casual.

Today, she is willing to spend 1,000 taels to add makeup to Gu Xiruo, seeing that it is the relationship between Lin Shuran and the Gu family in the past, and the mutual affection that can be cut off with gold and silver, she feels that it is worth it, after all, she is not really Lin Shuran, and she doesn't want to have any emotional over-involvement with the Gu family.

As for the Xiqing County Lord's gift, she doesn't need to please the Qing Dynasty or anyone, the gift is because she received an invitation, out of a blessing to the Xiqing County Lord, she prepared such a gift, as for whether the gift is expensive in the eyes of others, it is someone else's business, she has a clear conscience.

After returning to the mansion, Chunxi didn't say much about what happened in Yaoguang Pavilion, anyway, she knew that according to her young lady's temperament, the 1,200 taels spent must have come from her own silver.

At night, Lin Shuran was sitting in the room and bowing her head to write something seriously, but when she raised her head, she found that Xu Junze had come in at some point, and picked up the papers she had written and looked at them carefully.

He looked like a dusty man, with a straight face, his eyebrows and eyes hidden displeasure and annoyance, but his eyes were powerful, and he stared very seriously at the papers she had written, looking through them one by one.

"What is this?" He looked up at her, and his tone was a little stiff, as if he had just returned from someone's breath.

Lin Shuran noticed that his mood was not very good, but he didn't immediately ask the reason, but explained to him in a soft voice: "This is a storybook I wrote for children, and I think they may like these little stories more than bitter and difficult articles." ”

Xu Junze looked at her suspiciously, and then said in a very affirmative tone: "This is the story of the art of war!" ”

Lin Shuran didn't deny it, nodded and said: "It's a little story that has something to do with the march and the war, I think Brother Chen'er will like it, so I wrote it." ”

These short stories written by Lin Shuran are the "Thirty-six Strategies" that she is familiar with in modern times, but she did not write the original text, because the historical process of this time and space is different from that of modern time and space, and many historical figures are naturally very different, so she wrote them in the vernacular style in the way of storytelling, hoping that Xu Mingchen and them could learn some truths from it.

"Hmm!" Xu Junze responded simply, and then sat down on the side, the paper in his hand did not put down, but began to look again.

Lin Shuran didn't expect him to be interested in these little stories, but he always felt that he was angry, but he didn't know why he was angry and who he was angry about!

Next, Lin Shuran continued to write her short story of "Thirty-six Strategies", Xu Junze sat on the side and said nothing, constantly flipping through the papers she had written, and Chunxi didn't dare to go in and disturb.

One wrote and the other read, neither of them spoke, the candle flame burned for half a day, and the night was already deep.

Actually, Lin Shuran was also a little tired from writing, but she saw that Xu Junze was fascinated by it, and she didn't plan to get up at all, and she noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she thought about writing more, but she thought that this writing would be written until the third watch, and Xu Junze still didn't want to rest.

"It's late, I'll write it tomorrow!" In the end, Lin Shuran decided to stop writing, and she wrote less than half of the thirty-six plans, even if she didn't sleep all night, she couldn't finish it.

Xu Junze also put down the paper he was holding in his hand, turned his head and looked out, unconsciously the time had passed so quickly, and the discomfort in his heart seemed to dissipate a little, and then stood up and walked out, but when he was about to walk to the door, he stopped and turned to stare at Lin Shuran and asked, "You went out today?" ”
