Chapter 104: The Waiter Buys Books
Xin Yu hesitated slightly, raised his feet and walked over.
I have already met King Qing and the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, and I don't know another prince.
"The folk girl has seen His Royal Highness King Xiu."
In Great Xia, python robes would be given to some courtiers, but only the royal family could embroider python patterns on the upper.
King Xiu's eyes were surprised: "Have you seen Xiao Wang?" ”
"It's the first time that the folk girl has seen His Royal Highness King Xiu."
King Xiu followed Xin Yu's gaze and saw the tips of his shoes exposed under the hem of his clothes, and couldn't help laughing: "You are the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, Miss Kou?" ”
"The folk girl is exactly."
King Xiu looked at this face, which was somewhat similar to the eldest princess, and his eyes were as heavy as a deep pool: "I heard that the "Painted Skin" of your bookstore is very good-looking, Xiao Wang came to buy a set." ”
Xin Yu immediately instructed Liu Zhou: "Go and get a set of painted skins." ”
As "Painted Skin" has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in the capital, many people who didn't read the script also joined in the fun to buy it back and watch it, and the upper part of "Painted Skin" sold well again. The shopkeeper simply asked people to wrap part of the upper volume and the lower volume with a waist seal, which was convenient for guests who bought the whole volume at the same time.
Liu Zhou took "Painted Skin" and handed it to King Xiu with both hands.
Xin Yu noticed that compared to King Qing's strict protection when he traveled, King Xiu was much more casual, and he didn't know that he thought he was just the son of an ordinary rich family.
King Xiu took the book, and the entourage who followed him took out the money.
"His Royal Highness King Xiu can come to the shop, the shop is full of brilliance, how can he collect His Highness's money." Xin Yu politely.
King Xiu's expression was correct: "It is natural to buy things and give money." If Miss Kou doesn't collect the money, Xiao Wang will be embarrassed to come in the future. ”
Xin Yu heard King Xiu say this, and didn't pull again.
King Xiu wandered around the study hall, stopped in front of a bookshelf, and picked up a travelogue.
Xin Yu's eyes shone slightly.
It was a travelogue that Lord He had read halfway.
Xiuwang looked through it quietly, and had no intention of leaving for a while, Xin Yu didn't want to keep staring at it like this, so he silently walked to the counter and sat down.
There is the big Buddha of King Xiu, and it is inconvenient for the shopkeeper Hu to crackle and plan to plate, and he stared at Xin Yu with big eyes.
There were footsteps at the door again, and a vermilion figure walked in.
The moment he saw the person coming, Liu Zhou's first reaction was to jump violently, blocking the direction of the row of bookshelves.
"Lord He, you're here." The young man's voice lowered unconsciously.
He Qingxiao bowed slightly, looked past Liu Zhou, and saw King Xiu.
King Xiu also looked over.
The eyes of the two collided, and the atmosphere was strange for a moment.
King Xiu put down the book and walked outside.
"His Royal Highness King Xiu." He Qingxiao greeted first.
Different from King Qing's arrogance, King Xiu was much more polite to He Qingxiao: "I didn't expect Lord He to come to buy books." ”
On the side, the corners of Liu Zhou's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, you have misunderstood.
Xin Yu could see that neither of them expected to meet each other, and the scene was embarrassing to maintain.
Just as she was about to say something, there was movement at the door again.
Several eyes looked at the door in unison.
This time there were three men, all of whom were not very old, and the one at the head was thin and not tall, with a white and clean face and a reserved look in his eyes.
This reserve turned into surprise when he saw Xiuwang.
King Xiu was equally taken aback.
Among the three people who came in, the one who walked in front turned out to be the chamberlain in the palace of the concubine.
Originally, there were so many people in the palace, even if they had lived in the palace, they wouldn't know too much. But the palace in the concubine is different, but all the palace people who can serve in front of the concubine, it is difficult for others not to remember, this Xiao Mingzi is one of them.
Xiao Mingzi was entangled in whether to say hello, and when he saw King Xiu look away, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The mother didn't let him go out to buy books with great fanfare.
"Where's the shopkeeper?" Xiao Mingzi looked around and was stunned again when he saw He Qingxiao wearing Jinlinwei's costume.
What's going on with this bookstore?
Fortunately, at this time, the shopkeeper Hu greeted him: "Do you want to buy books?" ”
"Nonsense, why don't you buy books and come to the bookstore?" Xiao Mingzi said casually, realizing that Xiuwang and the others were still there, and slightly restrained, "Ahem, is there "Painted Skin?" ”
"Yes, do you want to buy the lower part or the whole book?"
"The whole book."
The shopkeeper Hu made a look, and the stone quickly took a set of "Painted Skin".
Xiao Mingzi motioned to the person who came with him to take it, and said with a smile: "One set is not enough, let's take two more sets." ”
The books that Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Qing both want to read, he has to read them, and after reading them, he can sell them to other palace people to earn a few pocket money.
The stone brought two more books.
Xiao Mingzi's gaze fell on Xin Yu's face, he originally wanted to say a few words, but thinking about the people present, he still forgot it.
"Gone." Xiao Mingzi raised his chin and turned to leave with the attendant holding the book.
King Xiu has no intention of staying.
"Lord He picks slowly."
After greeting He Qingxiao, King Xiu looked at Xin Yu: "Miss Kou, Xiao Wang has said goodbye." ”
"His Royal Highness King Xiu, walk slowly."
Xin Yu sent Xiu Wang out of the door, and when he turned back, he saw that the shopkeeper Hu had made a calculation again, Liu Zhou looked relaxed and sorted out the bookshelf, and the stone gave He Qingxiao a cup of tea, and he was also busy with his own business.
As for He Qingxiao, he was drinking slowly with a teacup.
Xin Yu was silent.
These people really don't treat Lord He as an outsider.
Seeing Xin Yu coming in, He Qingxiao walked over.
"The story of Miss Kou's rescue spread, and there were more and more guests."
Because of the identity of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, this guest specifically refers to people like King Xiu.
Xin Yu heard He Qingxiao's reminder and asked directly: "The three people who came just now, are they from the palace?" ”
In addition to judging from the other party's appearance, Xin Yu saw Xiao Mingzi The moment he saw it, a picture appeared in front of him.
It was obviously in the temple, the brocade tent was heavy, the dome was gorgeous, and the white young man who came to buy "Painted Skin" respectfully held the book in front of a palace beauty.
I don't know what the young man said, the palace beauty with a smile on the corner of her mouth was furious, raised the book and smashed it in his face.
The young man threw himself to his knees, blood oozing from between his fingers covering his face.
The picture ends here, and the anger on the face of the palace beauty left a deep impression on Xin Yu.
He Qingxiao glanced at Xin Yu deeply.
Miss Kou is really sharp.
"Yes, they are from Hanlian Palace, and Hanlian Palace is the bedroom of King Qing's biological mother, Concubine Shu."
Xin Yu curled her lips, and her smile was not warm: "I didn't expect that the lady in the palace would also read folk stories." ”
The chamberlain returned to the palace with "Painted Skin", what did he say that would make Concubine Shu so angry?
Seeing that Xin Yu was deep in thought, He Qingxiao didn't bother anymore, silently walked to the familiar bookshelf, stretched out his hand to the familiar position, but found that the travelogue that he hadn't finished reading had changed places.
He Qingxiao was silent for a while, picked up the travelogue and walked to the counter, and put the book on the counter.
Liu Zhou has greeted countless guests recently, checking out, collecting money, and making change, not to mention how neat he is, and he didn't even react to what Lord He was doing for a while.
He Qingxiao: ?
