Ning Suling listened to Li Wei's fluttering voice, her whole body trembled, and her back instantly felt cold, crawling all over her body in a cold sweat.

She only felt that every word he said was colder than the winter in this Li country.

She didn't know what was waiting for her in that dungeon, but a woman, what else could be waiting for her besides being humiliated?

She doesn't want it, and she doesn't want to!

Then, she raised her eyes like a plea for help and looked at Zhong Guizi.

Zhong Guizi also knew what would happen to Ning Suling when she entered the cell, and looking at her eyes for help, he didn't want her to suffer that.

But if he agrees, it will never be possible.

He, Zhong Keiko, can be controlled by others, but he must not be persecuted!

"Shizi, is this not negotiable, forcing me to make a choice?"

Li Wei smiled faintly, "It doesn't count." If you are willing to use it for our great palace, how can it be persecution? ”

Zhong Guizi snorted coldly, looked around and came to the dark guards, all of whom were extremely martial arts.

He doesn't know martial arts, let alone with Ning Suling, he can't escape by himself.

But, he didn't believe he wouldn't save himself.

In the Yunwei Palace, the secret guards sent out by Jiuyu to secretly protect Zhong Guizi returned.

"Your Highness, Zhong Guizi was taken to the Great Prince's Mansion, and his subordinates only heard a little, he-"

"Alright, I know without you eavesdropping. Say it and change the flavor again, Jiuyu, you take someone to rescue Zhong Guizi. ”

"Remember to cover your face so that you don't get noticed."

Ye Shuhua drank tea lightly and said, "It's only nine fish, can it work?" ”

"It's no problem to go to the Great Prince's Mansion to rob someone."

Ye Shuhua nodded, not planning to bother with this matter anymore.

It's snowing again today, and it's snowing in the winter in Li.

But not as cold.

Ye Shuhua had nothing to do, so she wanted to go out for a walk in the snow.

Followed by Ji Cui and Zhuying, Ye Shuhua looked at the shops on both sides as she walked.

finally stopped in front of a study and pointed: "Ji Cui, what do you think of this study?" Geographical location, the passenger flow is not small. ”

Only then did Ji Cui understand what the purpose of the young lady came out for a stroll.

"It's the lady who likes it, of course. However, the young lady wants to return to her old business to open a study and become a painter herself, I don't know if the emperor and queen will agree. ”

Ye Shuhua was really stunned when she thought of this, and muttered, "Indeed, you have to say hello to them before you open it." ”

"However, it's good to leave this matter to Liji. Let's settle down the study today. ”

When I entered the study in front of me, it was deserted inside.

Most of the Li people are good at riding and shooting, and they will naturally be able to read and paint, but most of them are necessary to learn.

What is superfluous is a little reluctance to see more.

Therefore, there are not many studies in Liyang City, and some of them are so deserted.

Only a month before the imperial examination, people from the study will come to buy books, and most of them are temporary.

It's winter now, it's freezing cold, and people don't want to come out when they go out to play, let alone make a special trip to buy books.

Ye Shuhua walked to the counter, only the shopkeeper was still dozing.

She raised her hand and gently buckled the counter, and the shopkeeper opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw that there were guests, she hurriedly squeezed her eyes again to sober herself up a little.

Said: "Girl, what book do you want to buy?" ”

The shopkeeper is a handsome young man, who looks like no more than fifteen or sixteen.

Ye Shuhua looked at his handsome appearance and smiled: "Dare to ask if this store is yours?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded, "Exactly." ”

There is a charcoal basin lit in the room, but it is only burning next to the desk, Ye Shuhua sits on the soft cushion on one side of the desk, guarding the charcoal basin, and only one side is warm.

Sitting opposite was the shopkeeper, and when he heard Ye Shuhua's intention, he was obviously surprised, and looked at her with wide eyes.

"You want to buy my study?"

"Yes, you can open the price at will, as long as it is reasonable, I will never bargain."

"But this is the property left to me by my Su family, and my Su Mu will never sell my property!"

Ye Shuhua was not in a hurry, she only took a sip of tea, the tea was bitter and a little sour, she frowned, put down the teacup, and didn't take another sip.

Hou said lightly: "One thousand taels of silver?" ”

"I'm not going to sell my property!"

"Two thousand taels."

"If you give five thousand taels, I won't sell it!"

"Ten thousand taels."

"Well, what does that, it sounds like this, but it can be discussed."

"Fifteen thousand taels."

"Good! Deal! The girl has made a final decision, you are not allowed to regret it! ”

Ye Shuhua smiled calmly, "That's nature." ”

"But I have one more string attached."

As soon as he heard that there were still conditions, Su Mu was not happy.

He had just stood up excitedly, and now he was slumped back on the cushion.

He squinted his eyes at her, put his hands in his sleeves, and craned his neck to roast the fire towards the brazier.

Reluctantly, he said: "There are any additional conditions, I won't agree to it if it's too much." ”

"It's not too much, I bought this store, but if I look for a suitable shopkeeper, I won't find it for a while. Therefore, this ten thousand five includes buying you to be the shopkeeper of this store. ”

"Of course, as long as you work at the same time as you are now the shopkeeper, I am not a stereotypical and pedantic person, and I don't ask for a board and a glance. You are the shopkeeper, but the time is also relatively free, but, with only one request, you must do what I arrange. ”

Su Mu chewed what she said carefully, and secretly calculated in his heart, no matter how he totaled, he took a big advantage.

He pressed his excited heart, sat up straight, picked up the teacup, and drank tea to cover the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but rise.

I met a man who was stupid and had a lot of money!

He Su Mu is rich and rich!

The tea was bitter and sour, but when it came to his mouth, it was surprisingly delicious.

After drinking a cup of tea, he pretended to be calm, and pretended to be embarrassed and struggled for a few moments before reluctantly agreeing.

"Okay, deal."

Ye Shuhua immediately smiled, and a touch of cunning crossed her eyes.

After that, Su Mu found paper and pencils, and these are the most important things in the study.

Ye Shuhua picked up the pen to write the contract, and soon finished writing it in duplicate, she secretly signed with her handprint, and saw Su Mu secretly sign with her handprint.

Only then can I rest assured that the contract will be collected, and at the same time, the title deed will be collected.

Ye Shuhua didn't bring so many silver tickets when he went out, so he asked Ji Cui to go back and get them.

Su Mu no longer hid his joy at this time, and smiled so much that the corners of his mouth reached the root of his ears.

Waiting to get the money back, Su Mu took Ye Shuhua to visit the study.

After a circle, the layout of the study is not without a difference from the usual study.

Ye Shuhua didn't propose too many changes, but just pointed to a prime location at the main entrance, "This place has been changed to sell albums, and there is a study door plaque to be replaced, replaced by a study, and the rest do not need to be changed." ”

Su Mu has no opinion on changing the door plaque, after all, this study is already the owner, so he naturally has the right.

It's just that.

"Owner, this is a study, and there are no books and albums at this entrance, which seems inappropriate, right? Besides, I don't have a channel to enter the album, and I can't find a good one in a short time. ”

Ye Shuhua said casually: "It's okay, I'll send a template album, and you can rub it according to the template when the time comes." I'll give you the number of rubbings, not too much. ”

"Did the owner become a painter himself or did he hire a painter?"

Ye Shuhua glanced at him and didn't speak.

Su Mu understood that the owner didn't want to answer, and he was also very discerning and didn't ask any more questions.

After finishing the shop, she sat back on the cushion, and her eyes fell on Su Mu again.

"You're only fifteen or sixteen, right? How can I surprise my own study, parents? ”

When Su Mu heard this, his eyebrows drooped, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting and was quickly overwhelmed by indifference.

He said calmly: "They all got sick and died, and my life was great, so I didn't die." ”

Ye Shuhua nodded slightly, and saw that the books fiddling at the door were all books that must be read to participate in the scientific examination, including some books that are unpopular but must be read.

Then he asked tentatively: "You didn't go to the imperial examination or anything?" Guarding these free books is a blessing. ”

Su Mu snorted, waved his hand, and only said: "I don't have the life to be an official, and I don't have the brain, what kind of imperial examination can I participate in." ”

Ye Shuhua kept staring at him, and when he said this, his gaze also crossed the thick calluses on the middle and index fingers of his raised right hand.

That's what you can only leave when you write all year round.

Ye Shuhua has already made a decision in her heart, and she will not expose him.

At this time, Ji Cui came back and handed him a silver ticket of 15,000 taels of silver.

The silver ticket is the silver ticket of the Li country, and it can be redeemed at any ticket number.

Bai Huahua's silver ticket was really held in his hand, and Su Mu felt that happiness was so close to him.

The haze on his face because of the good parents mentioned and the imperial examination has long since disappeared.

Only holding the silver ticket, he smiled more flatteringly and courteously, and said: "Thank you to the owner, if the owner has anything to do in the future, I Su Mu will be able to do it well, and ensure that the study is prosperous!" ”

Ye Shuhua secretly hooked the corners of her lips and raised her eyebrows.

Guaranteed to be booming?

He's really just going to talk.
