Chapter 51: The Chief

When He Qingxiao came back, he found that there were several more travelogues on the shelves.

He is a transparent person, and after a little pondering, he understands that this is Miss Kou borrowing these books to express her gratitude.

He Qingxiao silently received this thank-you gift, and when he turned around, he explained to his subordinates and accelerated the search for the mastermind behind the scenes.

At this time, the reprinted "Peony Story" was finally completed and put on the bookshelf.

When the ancient shopkeeper of Yaxin Bookstore heard this, he laughed a few times and said to the guy: "Don't pay attention to it anymore." ”

I thought that it was possible to come back to life with a new owner, but it turned out to be a blind toss, but there was really no new book and "The Peony" was reprinted, and he still paid attention to it for so many days.

If the ancient shopkeeper didn't pay attention to the previous Qingsong Bookstore, now he disdains it.

Mr. Ping'an's new "Butterfly Fairy" has been sold out, and it is being reprinted later, but it is not planned to be sold immediately after printing. According to the arrangement of the ancient shopkeeper, wait for another two or three months, and it will be a hot purchase.

As for Qingsong Bookstore, it is difficult to say whether it can last until that time in the opinion of the ancient shopkeeper.

At this moment, Qingsong Bookstore posted another notice. Because of the sensation of the previous notice, a group of people who read the notice soon gathered.

"Ah, I've already bought it!"

"What? Got it? Did it really cost five hundred taels? ”

"yes, the notice says I bought Mr. Songling's manuscript."

"Mr. Songling? Haven't heard of it. ”

……

The ancient shopkeeper stood at the door of Yaxin Bookstore and looked at it, sneered, and turned around and entered the bookstore.

Shopkeeper Hu was a little puzzled: "The owner, why don't you wait for the day when the new book is sold before posting a notice, there must be many of these people who are curious to buy and take a look." ”

"From the first time the notice was posted to the sale of the new book, the interval was too long, and being talked about too much would cause the impression that our bookstore was untrustworthy, and it was just right to make such a notice in the middle of the way."

"It's still the owner who is thoughtful."

The news that Qingsong Bookstore spent 500 taels to buy a story about an unknown man who wrote books spread quickly again.

I don't know how many people who want to earn this amount of money sighed, and there was a short-tempered scholar who saw the down-and-out scholar who had been preaching everywhere that the story of Qingsong Bookstore's five hundred taels of buying was a scam, and he raised his fist and gave it a few times.

It's all my fault for making money!

When Liu Zhou heard this, he smiled and told the shopkeeper Hu.

"What a relief!"

The shopkeeper touched his beard indifferently: "I have said it a long time ago, the owner is not an ordinary person." We were not allowed to deal with that poor scholar's livelihood before, but it should be today. ”

After listening to the discussion of his classmates, Duan Yunlang, who was studying in Guozijian, was worried.

My cousin really spent 500 taels to buy a story, and the bookstore's business is not good, so wouldn't the 2,000 taels be spent?

Thinking about it, Duan Yunlang slipped out while it was time for lunch.

"Second cousin isn't studying?" Xin Yu saw Duan Yunlang and asked.

"Lunch break. Cousin Qing, did you really spend five hundred taels to buy a story? ”

"Hmm."

"I know all the gentlemen who write well-written stories in the capital, I haven't heard of Mr. Songling, cousin, don't be deceived."

"Second cousin, don't worry, it's a good story, it's worth the price."

"That's fine. Cousin, are you running out of money? ”

Xin Yu said honestly: "It's still in the beginning stage, and it's really hard to make ends meet." ”

"I knew it. The first day of junior high school is not coming soon, and you will find your grandmother to get some when you go back. ”

Xin Yu couldn't help but smile: "The second cousin said simply, he only took two thousand taels, and my grandmother won't give it again." ”

Duan Yunlang grinned: "I'll help you." My cousin can see it, my grandmother still wants face in front of the juniors, and when the time comes, let's cooperate, not to mention more, a thousand taels should be able to arrive. ”

"Forget it, I always ask for money, and my grandmother will think I'm ignorant." Xin Yu rejected Duan Yunlang's proposal.

One thousand taels or two thousand taels will go down like this, and I am afraid that it will not be finished until I am old. She'd better wait first, and then come a big one at a time.

"It's your money. But cousin, you haven't left the cabinet yet, and it's normal for your grandmother to worry about leaving it to you to take care of. ”

"Second cousin is right." Xin Yu could see that Duan Yunlang was simple-minded, so naturally he wouldn't say anything, "Cousin, go back to study." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back to China." Duan Yunlang was about to go out, when he saw He Qingxiao walking in.

"Lord He is here." Xin Yu greeted.

He Qingxiao nodded in response, walked to the bookshelf, and the clear voice of the young man behind him came: "Cousin Qing, you send me." ”

Xin Yu saw Duan Yunlang's eyes, understood that this was something to say, and silently sent him out of the bookstore.

Duan Yunlang glanced at the door of the bookstore quickly, and whispered, "That Lord He, cousin, don't get close to him." ”

"How?"

"He is Jin Linwei, he can't afford to offend, and his reputation is not good."

Xin Yu could have done it perfunctorily, but he didn't do it: "But I was saved by Lord He." ”

Duan Yunlang was taken aback: "It turned out to be Lord He who saved my cousin?" Why didn't I hear it mentioned at home? ”

Xin Yu curled her lips and seemed to smile: "Probably because Lord He is Jinlinwei, he can't afford to offend, and his reputation is not good." ”

No matter how sluggish Duan Yunlang was, he came back to his senses: "Cousin, are you still angry at home?" ”

"Second cousin thinks too much, go back to study, beware of repeating a grade this year."

When it came to his studies, Duan Yunlang forgot about everything else and left with a bitter face.

Xin Yu returned to the bookstore and was about to go to the East Courtyard, but was stopped by He Qingxiao.

"What I said to Miss Kou a few days ago has eyebrows."

Xin Yu asked He Qingxiao to go to the side room to talk again.

"Have you found out who instructed Li Li?"

He Qingxiao bowed his head, leaving a slight silence to leave time for Xin Yu to prepare mentally, and said a completely unexpected person: "It's Mrs. Qiao's maiden niece, Qiao Ruozhu." ”

The pomelo was taken aback.

This Miss Qiao, who has only heard of from Xiaolian's mouth so far, turned out to be the one who instructed Li Li to set fire, which is also too unexpected.

"It was Qiao Ruozhu's maid who bought Li Li, because the woman dressed as a man caused a lot of difficulty to the investigation."

"I haven't had anything to do with Miss Qiao for a long time, is she doing this to anger her aunt?"

He Qingxiao said bluntly: "Rather than being angry for my aunt, I think the other party's purpose is more likely to make Miss Kou's bookstore unable to open." In fact, without Miss Kou's knowledge, Qiao Ruozhu had come to the vicinity of Qingsong Bookstore many times. ”

It was also in this way that he entered Jin Linwei's sight. Otherwise, Jin Linwei is not an immortal, how can it be so easy to find someone when Li Li can't tell the identity of the other party.

"I was negligent and didn't even notice." Xin Yu's face was calm, "Lord He, does Miss Qiao know that she is being investigated?" ”

Because it was a girl, she was not alarmed after finding out, and only asked the relevant person to put a fingerprint on the confession. After that, it was inconvenient for Jinlinwei to interfere, and Miss Kou decided by herself. ”

He Qingxiao said, handing a confession to Xin Yu.
