10 Chapter 10 [Overhauled and Rewritten]
At the end of the month, there was a mid-month holiday.
Finally, I had a free day, and most of the students in the prison went home.
Zhu Yu left the palace, and he didn't even bring an entourage with him.
On a sunny day after the snow, the sun is particularly dazzling, but in winter, the light stays on the skin and does not sting.
Zhu Yu wore a simple regular dress, a jade crown tied her hair, lined with a small face, the hazy halo reflected the delicate outline of the girl, and a ray of golden light fell on the tip of her nose at the right time, red and transparent.
She is dressed like this, and she looks like a rich boy who is noble and beautiful.
Zhu Yu went out to buy books, and there were all kinds of classics in the library in the palace, but there were no idle books that she usually used for entertainment.
It's not that she's "not doing her job".
It's just that I look at the Four Books and Five Classics all day long, and after a long time, I will feel bored.
When I saw the words in the book, not only did my eyes hurt, but my head hurt even more.
The idle book that Zhu Yu wants to buy is not a Fengyue book written by the sour Confucian book business, but a fairy legend of the Eight Classics, or an interesting folk book.
In a word.
As long as it's not the Analects or the Tao Te Ching, any book can be written.
Zhu Yu is an old customer of the bookstore, she often comes here, and the shopkeeper of the bookstore has long been familiar with her.
When this little boy came back to their bookstore, the shopkeeper looked at him twice, for no other reason, he was really born well.
Looks great.
Temperamental.
A face is impeccable, with red lips and white teeth, stunning at a glance.
At first glance, I thought it was a little fairy who came out of the painting.
The shopkeeper has been opening this bookstore for twenty or thirty years, and he has seen countless people, and there is no shortage of amazing talents, but there is really no one who wants him to look so good.
He's a businessman, very shrewd.
Quietly swept the young man up and down, and suddenly had a number in his heart, this little boy has a lot of background, and he is wearing good things that are difficult to buy even with money, especially the jade pendant that falls around his waist.
The texture is well-proportioned and the color is warm.
This double goose rank lotus jade pendant looks like a treasure that can only be used by royal relatives and nobles.
Sure enough, this little boy is generous and never bargains.
The shopkeeper has only done his business a few times, and he has made a lot of money, and after a month, he saw his big customer again, and the attitude of the shopkeeper is warm.
"Shen Gongzi, you haven't been here for a long time, I specially left you a few unique books, someone offered a high price before, and I was not willing to give it away."
The shopkeeper has a broad face, round ears, and kind eyes.
The shopkeeper dealt with the little boy a few times, and knew a little about his awe-inspiring nature.
The little princess should be well raised by her family, and she is a little naΓ―ve about the world.
When Zhu Yu heard the word lonely, she was faintly moved: "If you take it out, I'll take a look first." β
The shopkeeper really didn't lie to him this time, let alone cheat him.
The lone book that I finally found was really kept for him.
"Shen Gongzi, I know that you have always been interested in ghosts and gods, this book "Ten Thousand Laws Returning to the Sect" was originally a masterpiece of Taoism, and we also got it by chance in an old man's house in Suzhou."
The shopkeeper carefully took out the wrapped book.
Zhu Yu lowered his eyelids, held them in his hand, opened a page, and looked at it quietly for a while, not noticing the gaze outside the door at all.
Lu Sui and the others saw him, it was really accidental.
This bookstore is the property in the name of Lu Sui's mother, and it is also the private land that the Lu family usually uses to transmit messages. Some of the letters sent from outside Beijing cannot be put on the surface, and these secret letters will be sent to the bookstore first, so that they will not attract attention.
Qin Heng saw the familiar back in front of the bookstore counter from a distance, and almost thought that he had seen it wrong, he bumped Lu Sui unceremoniously with his arm, and gave him a look: "Take a closer look, is that Shen Zhuyu?" β
Lu Sui only glanced at it: "It's him who is good." β
Qin Heng's gaze staring at the back gradually became sharper: "Why is he in your mother's shop?" β
Saying that, Qin Heng changed his usual lazy and lazy appearance, "He doesn't know anything, right?" β
The undercurrent in the DPRK is surging, and it is not peaceful.
There are a lot of dirty things in the secret, and if someone catches the handle and goes to the front of the court, it is not easy to explain.
Lu Sui tugged at the corners of his lower lip, his expression was calm and calm, but he was very calm: "I've seen him here a few times before." β
It was also the day of the ten-day holiday.
Shen Zhuyu didn't seem to have anywhere else to go, neither traveling with different people, nor inviting each other to the restaurant to drink.
It's old-fashioned, it's boring.
Last time, Lu Sui saw him in the bookstore, and he carefully selected the books at the bottom of the shopkeeper's box, and the books he picked were all books that few people usually wanted to read.
He was stunned by the shopkeeper's words, and hugged the pile of books tightly, as if he had found some treasure, his face was extremely serious, and his words were especially earnest to tell the shopkeeper to sell it to her, no matter what the price was negotiable.
Lu Sui felt that what he saw was not the prince of the East Palace, but a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for the profiteers in front of him to bleed and cut his flesh.
Lu Sui glanced at Qin Heng and said lightly, "What can his elm head detect?" I just sent money to my mother. β
The young man next to the door, with a thin figure, wearing a moon-white round-necked brocade robe and wide sleeves, lined him with a bit of a clear sense of grace.
The brilliant sunlight was inescapable, penetrating the evergreen trees in front of the door, evenly poured on his delicate face, his skin was white and greasy, and only the tip of his nose was adorned with a touch of cinnabar red.
He stood there quietly, like a cold and dusty painting.
It is no different from the fairy in the painting.
Shen Zhuyu was holding a few books in his arms, probably because he had bought something he liked, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his little face facing the sun was a little red.
The street happened to pass by the small vendors who walked the streets, selling sugar gourds.
The eyes of several men still stopped at the bookstore diagonally opposite.
I saw that Shen Zhuyu subconsciously raised his head after hearing the sound of the sugar gourd, followed the sound, and stared at the fresh sugar gourd on the peddler's shoulder.
The peddler also seemed to notice his gaze, and bent down and asked politely, "Do you want a string of them?" β
He obviously wanted to eat, but he couldn't stop his throat.
Zhu Yu swallowed her saliva, her heart was uneasy, and she also knew that it seemed a little unseemly for a man to eat these.
But if you are lucky, no one will see it.
Her life has been tasteless, and she can finally eat what she likes to eat, so why treat herself badly.
After suffering for a while, Zhu Yu pursed her lips and bought a bunch with the vendor.
Sugar gourds smell fragrant and taste sweet.
Zhu Yu took a bite, the layer of rock sugar wrapped outside neutralized the sour taste of hawthorn meat, and she was about to take a second bite when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder: "Your Highness, it's a coincidence." β
Zhu Yu was still biting half a sugar gourd in her mouth, and she looked back when she heard the sound, and suddenly bumped into their eyes.
Zhu Yu subconsciously hid the string of sugar gourds in her hand behind her back, and swallowed the half of the sugar gourd in her mouth in a panic, she never expected to meet them here.
Qin Heng and Zhou Huai'an both looked at her with a smile, and the cunning in their eyes was not hidden.
Lu Sui still had a cold look with no expression in school, but his words were as vicious as ever: "What is there to hide?" Your Highness likes to eat sugar gourds, can we still grab it from you? β
Zhu Yu choked in her throat, feeling that Lu Sui's words seemed to be laughing at her, how big a person is, and she still loves to eat these.
Zhu Yu looked up at him.
Lu Sui was long, standing in front of her, she looked even taller and more powerful, and the shadow cast almost enveloped her entire figure.
He was dressed in an ink-colored brocade robe, his black hair was tied up, the outline of his facial features in the shadows was extremely cold, and his eyes were like a calm lake, looking at her quietly.
Lu Sui's eyes are very beautiful, and the tails of his eyes are narrow and long, but at this moment, these beautiful eyes are gradually filled with a bit of condescending.
Zhu Yu whispered: "I'm just curious, just buy it and try it." After that, he explained: "It's not that I like to eat." β
Lu Sui said perfunctorily: "Well, you don't like to eat." β
Zhu Yu didn't know what kind of wind Qin Heng smoked today, and he used to deal with her everywhere in school, but at this time, he was in a hurry, and while she was not paying attention, he snatched the sugar gourd she hid behind her, and said: "Your Highness doesn't like to eat, but I like it very much, I'll taste sweet or sour for Your Highness." β
Qin Heng avoided the one she had bitten and ate the few that she had not touched.
Zhu Yu didn't even want to speak.
She was a big disgrace in front of them.
Zhu Yu opened his mouth, and was about to say something polite, so that he could part ways with them.
Qin Heng suddenly opened his mouth: "Since today is so fateful, I invite Your Highness to go to the restaurant for a meal." β
Qin Heng's eyes don't look like he has bad intentions, but he is used to acting, and his long-sleeved ability to dance and reverse black and white is also first-class.
Zhu Yu didn't dare to believe him completely.
She knew they had been to the restaurant before, but had never invited her before.
Zhu Yu thought about it, but still refused ruthlessly: "No, I have other things..."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Lu Sui, and he said, "What is Your Highness anxious about?" The left is only the hour of a meal, and it can't delay your grand cause. β
Zhu Yu was a little annoyed, Lu Sui spoke like this, there was not a single dirty word, but every word put together was really ugly.
It seems ironic but not ironic, and it can make people want to find a hole to get into.
Zhu Yu still wanted to refuse.
Zhou Huai'an also interjected: "We are classmates, not some flood beasts, Your Highness doesn't have to avoid us like this." β
Zhou Huai'an was born in a family of military generals, and he spoke straightforwardly, but his temperament was also a little stubborn.
As soon as he heard it, he could tell that Qin Heng was not at ease, since there was a good show to watch, he should be willing to add fuel to the fire.
"It's not a matter if we don't get along, there are still two years to read in the future, if you keep looking at it like this, you fight with me, you can't escape and be punished, it's better to get along. At the end of the day, we don't have a deep hatred, do we? β
What Qin Heng said also has some truth.
Zhu Yu thought to herself that if they wanted to live in peace with her, it would be a good thing. Save the more trouble in the national prison, she can't calculate these people, no matter how cautious and cautious she is, she will fall into their way and suffer a few secret losses.
After ascending the throne, they may still oppose her to the death.
Otherwise, it is not a loss to have a good relationship now.
It doesn't have to be good, it's enough to meet no longer-for-tat at Mai Mang in school.
Zhu Yu raised his face, and his lips closed one by one: "Brother Qin is reasonable. β
The clear voice is very pleasant.
Lu Sui's gaze stopped on the young man's face, his eyes could be seen through at a glance, and he didn't doubt it at all, he really believed the nonsense that Qin Heng said casually.
