The soles of the shopkeeper's feet were windy, but his hands were holding his chest.

You can't just drop the manuscript!

"Shopkeeper, why are you in such a hurry?" Steward Zhao saw the appearance of Shopkeeper Hu and asked in wonder.

Shopkeeper Hu stopped and said slowly: "No, it's okay." ”

Steward Zhao's eyes fell on the hand of the shopkeeper Hu covering his chest, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Shopkeeper, you have a heartache?" ”

"Who's heartache." Shopkeeper Hu glanced left and right, and lowered his voice, "Brother Zhao, come, I'll show you something." ”

There is a room where Steward Zhao rests in the printing workshop, and after the two of them entered, Shopkeeper Hu carefully took out the manuscript: "Take a look." ”

"It's mysterious—"

Steward Zhao stretched out his hand, and was suddenly slapped by the shopkeeper Hu: "Be careful." ”

"What a baby, so concerned." Steward Zhao didn't think so, and his eyes changed when he looked inside.

After a long time, the shopkeeper Hu waited anxiously, and the whole person was stuffed with excitement, and finally couldn't help urging: "Have you finished reading?" Have you finished reading it? ”

"Don't talk." Steward Zhao's eyes did not leave the manuscript, and he reached out to cover the mouth of the shopkeeper Hu accurately.

This is going to change the usual, and the shopkeeper Hu started scolding, thinking about his mood when he read the manuscript, and endured it.

Finally waited for Steward Zhao to finish reading, and Shopkeeper Hu looked forward to it: "How is it?" ”

Steward Zhao took the case: "What about the back?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu smiled: "It's gone." ”

Seeing that Zhao is like this, he knows that there is no problem. Lao Zhao is not so fond of reading books, even Mr. Ping'an's book, he loves to read "The Story of Peony".

"Gone? How can it be gone? Is it a human or a ghost that Wang Sheng saw from the window? Steward Zhao couldn't accept the cruel fact that the story was not only unfinished, but also stopped at the key point.

"Whether it's a human or a ghost can only be known when the next book comes out. How about the manuscript that the owner bought? ”

"This was bought by the owner?" Steward Zhao was shocked.

Shopkeeper Hu sighed: "Yes." Brother Zhao, why do you say that a little girl in the owner is so powerful, brother, I am guarding the bookstore every day, and I have read hundreds of bullshit stories, and I have not found a decent one. ”

"How can people be the same, you don't have 20,000 taels to buy a bookstore." Steward Zhao was still thinking about the unfinished story, "This story is worth buying, you have to print the book quickly." ”

"I asked Brother Zhao to discuss this. Li Li's matter has sounded the alarm for us, this time the new book can not be careless, the craftsman only looks for the deed in the hands of the owner, and the manuscript must be strictly prevented from leaking......"

Shopkeeper Hu discussed the arrangements for engraving with Steward Zhao.

Xin Yu was in the bookstore in front of him, sitting in the position of the shopkeeper and taking a book at random.

Xiaolian whispered to the guy: "Liu Zhou, I think there should be a few chairs here to facilitate sitting and reading." ”

"That's not possible, the more chairs there are, the more people will read books."

Xiaolian pouted: "I don't see a few people come in for a day, who reads books." ”

As he spoke, a man walked in.

Xiaolian looked over, her expression subtle.

The guy has long been accustomed to He Qingxiao appearing from time to time. When he is not busy, he likes to come to the bookstore to pass the time.

"Lord He is here." The guy greeted him warmly.

He Qingxiao bowed slightly, found that the shopkeeper Hu had been replaced by Xin Yu, and stopped at his feet.

Xin Yu put the book down and got up to greet him: "Lord He." ”

He Qingxiao nodded in response and walked towards the familiar row of bookshelves.

The hall of Qingsong Bookstore was very large, and the rows of bookshelves were blocked, and soon the vermilion figure disappeared.

Xiaolian poked the guy and said in a low voice: "It's really a book." ”

The guy looked serious: "Don't talk nonsense, is that called rubbing books for Lord He?" It's a face-appreciating visit, full of brilliance. ”

Xin Yu held his cheek with one hand and looked in the direction where He Qingxiao was.

This Lord He seems to like travelogue books very much.

Then she withdrew her gaze and fell back to the book in front of her.

The time to read the book is slow and fast, and Xin Yu is immersed in the book and finds that there is a shadow falling from above.

She looked up.

"Lord He is leaving?"

He Qingxiao's words surprised Xin Yu: "Is there a convenient place for Miss Kou to speak?" ”

Xin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Lord He comes with me." ”

She directly led He Qingxiao to the temporary rest and hospitality place of the shopkeeper Hu, poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Lord He drinks tea." ”

He Qingxiao thanked him and put one hand on the teacup.

The man's bony fingers were as white as jade, and his eyebrows and eyes looked more and more distorted under the fragrance of tea.

Xin Yu was very curious, what this Lord He was going to say to himself.

Last time, I reminded her that the bookstore was expensive.

He Qingxiao is not a verbose person, and said straight to the point: "I heard that someone deliberately set fire to the bookstore a few days ago. ”

"Yes." Xin Yu replied quietly, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Lord He wouldn't be out of curiosity to ask her owner to inquire about gossip, right?

"Do you need help to check the person who instructed you?"

At this moment, Xin Yu was really stunned, and even couldn't help but have a guess: Didn't Lord He have thoughts about her?

This speculation was only for a moment, and when it touched those clear and open eyes, it disappeared, but the doubt was deeper.

Is Lord He too kind?

"Of course, I want to find out who instructed the craftsman, but I just think it's too troublesome for Lord He." Xin Yu said politely.

Knowing that his words were easy to misunderstand, He Qingxiao explained calmly: "I often come to the bookstore to read books, and I am very disgusted by the act of setting fire to books. ”

He hopes that Qingsong Bookstore will continue to open for a long time.

"In this way, it will be troublesome Lord He." Xin Yu got up and bowed generously to He Qingxiao.

Li Li was beaten after being sent to the government, because the arson did not cause substantial damage, and it was only closed for a few months before it was released, and nothing has been found so far.

Xin Yu is not a reckless person, what he can't do for a while, someone is willing to help without a bad purpose, of course he won't be stupid enough to refuse.

Xin Yu's reaction made He Qingxiao relax.

It is undoubtedly comfortable to deal with people who are cheerful and generous.

Xin Yu sent He Qingxiao out, and was meeting the shopkeeper Hu who came over in a hurry.

"The owner-" Seeing He Qingxiao and Xin Yu coming out of the room where he was temporarily resting, Shopkeeper Hu's eyes were round, "Lord He? ”

He Qingxiao nodded slightly, raised his feet and walked out of the bookstore.

"Why is the shopkeeper in such a hurry?" Xin Yu asked.

Her calm appearance made the shopkeeper feel that he was making too much fuss, and he was busy carefully reporting the arrangements for the engraving of the new book.

"Come according to the treasurer's arrangement. By the way, do we have a lot of travelogue books in the bookstore? ”

"The old club liked to collect travelogues, but our bookstore saved some, because they didn't sell well, and they were all put away, and only a few copies were placed outside."

Xin Yu smiled: "The shopkeeper will put a few more books out." ”

She can't repay anything for Lord He's help for the time being, so let's use a book to express her gratitude first.
