Chapter 56: Guests

He Qingxiao was just busy with individual cases, and when he made time to go to Qingsong Bookstore, he found that the bookstore had changed greatly.

It was originally a good place for him to read quietly, but it was crowded with people, so it was not lively.

He Qingxiao thought that he had made a mistake for a while, turned his head to look at the opposite side, and saw the ancient shopkeeper standing alone at the door of Yaxin Bookstore.

That's right, it's true that the business of Qingsong Bookstore has improved.

He Qingxiao didn't want to join in the excitement, but when he turned around and wanted to leave, he heard the discussion of people entering and leaving the bookstore, and only then did he know that the new book "Painted Skin" of Qingsong Bookstore was on sale.

He Qingxiao didn't like to read the story, but thinking of the girl who was indifferent to whatever she faced, she decided to buy a copy and be a good one.

He Qingxiao was at the end of the queue to buy the book, and when it was his turn to check out, his buddy Liu Zhou thought he was dazzled.

"Lord He, do you want to buy this book?" Liu Zhou was worried that he had taken it wrong, so he couldn't help but confirm.

"Hmm."

"Oh, oh, take it."

Waiting for He Qingxiao to walk out of the bookstore, Liu Zhou jumped in front of the shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper, it's really strange today, Lord He bought "Painted Skin"!" ”

Shopkeeper Hu glanced at the young man, and his face was calm: "Steady point, what's wrong with Lord He buying a copy of "Painted Skin". ”

Liu Zhou looked at the sky silently.

It's not much, it's the first time I've seen Lord He pay for books.

If it weren't for the fact that someone was so big as a Jinlin Wei Zhen envoy and still a marquis, he couldn't help but suspect that Lord He was too poor to open the pot.

At this time, the shopkeeper Hu suddenly shouted to the young owner.

A young man walked in at the door, it was Shen Ning, the original owner of Qingsong Bookstore.

Shen Ning shook the folding fan lightly and corrected the words of the shopkeeper Hu: "I'm not a young owner. The shopkeeper, call me Shen Gongzi in the future. ”

Well, in the future, he will be a pure word book person.

What kind of position, what kind of backbone, it has nothing to do with him, which bookstore has a good book, he can buy which one generously.

Shen ...... Son. Shopkeeper Hu adapted to the new title, "Are you here to buy "Painted Skin"?" ”

"I sent someone to buy it. Shopkeeper, I came here today to quietly ask, is there the lower part of "Painted Skin"? ”

"It's already stereotypical."

Shen Ning's eyes lit up suddenly: "Shopkeeper, then you must have read the content behind, right?" Tell me about it—"

Shopkeeper Hu refused without hesitation: "This should be kept secret." ”

"Shopkeeper, you can't be so ruthless!"

At this moment, Shen Ning regretted selling the bookstore for the first time.

If he is still the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, he can't read it as much as he wants, even if Mr. Songling doesn't finish writing, he is not afraid, put Mr. Songling into the house, and he won't eat if he can't finish writing!

After listening to the fragmented thoughts of the former owner, Shopkeeper Hu gave a ruthless blow with facts: "Mr. Songling was excavated by the owner. ”

There is no owner's daughter to buy horse bones, where is there a thousand miles like Mr. Songling.

"Indeed, your new owner is not ordinary." Shen Ning put down this sentence and left the bookstore with regret.

Shopkeeper Hu was at a loss.

Could it be that Shen Gongzi also knows that the owner understands physiognomy?

However, Liu Zhou also echoed Shen Ning, and the shopkeeper Hu finally became suspicious: "Tell me, what's unusual about the owner?" ”

"The shopkeeper doesn't also say that the proprietor is not ordinary."

The shopkeeper and the guy looked at each other.

"Why don't you tell us all?"

What can't be said about the shopkeeper and the buddy?

Liu Zhou said first: "Actually, the owner only spent 10,000 taels to buy our bookstore......

What? The partnership flickered, mutual benefit and reciprocity, and earned a difference of 10,000 taels?

Shopkeeper Hu's eyes straightened when he heard this, and finally thought of one thing: no wonder the owner said that he should rest assured that he would boldly engrave the seal, and he would not be short of money.

When Shopkeeper Hu also told the secret, Liu Zhou also straightened his eyes.

The owner actually understands physiognomy!

He also thought of a point: "Shopkeeper, did you say that Mr. Songling was discovered by the owner's physiognomy?" When the owner looks at Mr. Songling's face, he is destined to become a storyteller? ”

Hiss – makes sense!

The shopkeeper and the guy who exchanged secrets saw Xin Yu again, and their eyes became even more enthusiastic.

Follow in the footsteps of the owner, the future of the bookstore is limitless!

Xin Yu's face was incomprehensible.

Why do you think that Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou's eyes look at her are occasionally a little similar to Xiaolian?

Unlike the jubilant atmosphere of Qingsong Bookstore, the atmosphere of Yaxin Bookstore opposite is not very good.

"The person who bought "Painted Skin" on the other side has never stopped, and even the Lord He came out with a copy of "Painted Skin" in his hand."

After listening to the guy's report, the ancient shopkeeper's face was gloomy.

He's not blind, can he not see anything on the other side?

It won't go on like this.

"Go and put out the printed "Butterfly Fairy"."

With the orders of the ancient shopkeeper, the "Butterfly Fairy", which should have been resold for a while, was put out in advance, and even like Qingsong Bookstore, a notice was posted on the wall outside.

""Butterfly Fairy" is on sale? It's a pity, I originally kept the money to buy "Butterfly Fairy", and I heard them all say how good "Painted Skin" is, so I couldn't help but buy "Painted Skin" ......"

"Me too."

"Ah, me too."

"Don't be a pity, I heard from a friend who bought two books, "Painted Skin" is much better than "Butterfly Fairy", ......"

"Really?"

"Can we people who often buy scripts talk nonsense on this?"

"Then I'm going to buy "Painted Skin", I almost couldn't hold back before, and I want to keep the money to buy "Butterfly Fairy" ......"

The ancient shopkeeper was secretly happy when he saw the notice, but soon saw that the people who read the notice not only did not enter their bookstore, but went to the Qingsong bookstore, and when they came out, what they held in their hands was "Painted Skin".

"Why is that?" The ancient shopkeeper who had suffered a huge blow muttered.

He doesn't understand, doesn't understand, doesn't understand!

But one thing is clear to the ancient shopkeeper, if Yaxin Bookstore doesn't come up with a countermeasure, it will be over.

After thinking about it, the ancient shopkeeper still couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask the owner.

The owner of Yaxin Bookstore is a young man about the same age as Shen Ning, and he seems to be much more reliable than Shen Ning.

After listening to the report of the ancient shopkeeper, the man smiled coldly: "Don't mess up the shopkeeper." Qingsong Bookstore has made so many famous halls, and taking advantage of the fact that our bookstore has just released a new book to sell, people will inevitably want to be fresh, and the lower part of "Painted Skin" is not sure how it will be. Let's give some more money and ask Mr. Ping An to hurry up and write a new book, with Mr. Ping'an's momentum, can he be compared to a nameless book writer? ”

"The proprietor is right." The shopkeeper immediately invited Mr. Ping An and urged him to write a new book.

Not long after Mr. Ping An wrote "Butterfly Fairy", it was when his mind was empty, and he wanted to rest for a few months, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of Yaxin Books' high price, and racked his brains to write.

Yaxin Bookstore's new actions were silent, and for a while, all the discussions in the capital were the new scripts of Qingsong Bookstore, and even many storytellers in teahouses began to talk about "Painted Skin".

There was an endless stream of people who went to Qingsong Bookstore to buy "Painted Skin", and the dusty "Peony Story" on the shelf finally waited for the patrons on this day.
