He Qingxiao was just busy with a case, and when he spared time to go to Qingsong Bookstore, he found that the bookstore had changed drastically.

It was a good place where he could read a book in peace, but it was crowded with people and it was so lively.

For a moment, He Qingxiao thought that he had made a mistake, so he turned his head and looked opposite, and what he saw was Gu shopkeeper standing alone at the door of Yaxin Bookstore.

That's right, the business of Qingsong Bookstore has indeed improved.

He Qingxiao didn't want to join in the fun at first, but when he turned to leave, he heard the people going in and out of the bookstore discussing it, and only then did he know that Qingsong Bookstore's new storybook "Painted Skin" had started selling.

He Qingxiao doesn't like to read stories in the storybooks, but thinking of that girl who is indifferent no matter what she faces, she decides to buy a book as a compliment.

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

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

"Ah."

"Oh, oh, you take it."

When He Qingxiao walked out of the bookstore, Liu Zhou jumped up to shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper, this is really strange today, Mr. He bought "Painted Skin"!"

Shopkeeper Hu glanced at the young man, with a calm expression on his face: "Be careful, what's wrong with Mr. He buying a copy of "Painted Skin"?"

Liu Zhou looked at the sky silently.

It's okay, it's the first time I saw Mr. He pay for a book.

If it weren't for the Fushi of Jinlinwei Township who was so big, and he was still a Marquis, he couldn't help but suspect that Mr. He was too poor to let go of the pot.

At this time, shopkeeper Hu suddenly called out to the young master.

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

Shen Ning shook the folding fan lightly, and corrected Shopkeeper Hu's words: "I'm not a young master anymore. Shopkeeper, call me Mr. Shen from now on."

Well, from now on he will be a pure talker.

It doesn't matter what his standpoint or integrity is, he can buy whichever bookstore has a good reputation.

"Master Shen..." Shopkeeper Hu adjusted to the new address, "Are you here to buy "Painted Skin"?"

"I sent someone to buy it earlier. Shopkeeper, I came here today to ask quietly, do you have the lower part of "Painted Skin"?"

"It's already getting rigid."

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

Shopkeeper Hu refused without hesitation: "This must 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 read it however he wants, even if Mr. Song Ling has not finished writing, he is not afraid, he will shut Mr. Song Ling in the room, and he will not be given food if he can't finish writing!
After hearing the thoughts of the former owner, shopkeeper Hu gave a ruthless blow with the facts: "Mr. Songling was excavated by the owner."

Without a rich owner to buy horse bones, how can there be such a great horse as Mr. Song Ling?

"Indeed, your new owner is unusual." Shen Ning left the bookstore with regret after saying this.

Shopkeeper Hu was at a loss.

Could it be that Mr. Shen also knows that his master knows physiognomy?

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

"The shopkeeper also said that the owner is not ordinary."

The shopkeeper and the buddy looked at each other.

"Why don't you tell me all about it?"

What can't be said about the shopkeeper and the buddies.

Liu Zhou said it first: "Actually, the boss bought our bookstore for only 1 taels..."

What?Partnership fooling around, mutual benefit and reciprocity, earning 1 taels of difference?

Shopkeeper Hu's eyes became straight when he heard it, and finally thought of one thing: No wonder the owner said that he should rest assured and boldly engrave, and he is not short of money.

When shopkeeper Hu also revealed the secret, Liu Zhou also rolled his eyes.

My boss knows physiognomy!
He also thought of something: "Shopkeeper, do you think Mr. Pine Ling was discovered by the boss using physiognomy? The boss saw Mr. Pine Ling's face and figured that he was destined to become a story master?"

Hiss - makes sense!

After exchanging secrets, the shopkeeper and the buddy saw Xin You again, and their eyes became even more enthusiastic.

Following in the footsteps of the owner, the future of the bookstore is boundless!

Xinyou's face was puzzled.

Why do you feel that shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou looked at her a little like Xiao Lian occasionally?
Different from the joyous atmosphere in Qingsong Bookstore, the atmosphere in Yaxin Bookstore opposite is not so good.

"The people who bought "Painted Skin" on the opposite side have never stopped. Even Mr. He came out with a copy of "Painted Skin" in his hand."

After hearing the man's report, shopkeeper Gu's expression was gloomy.

He is not blind, so what can he not see on the other side?

It can't go on like this.

"Go and display the reprinted "Butterfly Fairy"."

With the orders of shopkeeper Gu, "Butterfly Immortal", which was supposed to go on sale some time later, was displayed in advance, and even like Qingsong Bookstore, a notice was pasted on the outside wall.

"The "Butterfly Fairy" is on sale? It's a pity, I saved the money to buy "Butterfly Fairy", but I heard them say how beautiful "Painted Skin" is, so I couldn't resist buying "Painted Skin"..."

"Me too."

"Ah, me too."

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

"Really?"

"Those of us who often buy scriptures, can we talk nonsense on this?"

"Then I'm going to buy "Painted Skin" right now. I almost couldn't hold back before, and wanted to save my money to buy "Butterfly Fairy"..."

Shopkeeper Gu saw the notice surrounded by many people who were secretly happy, but soon saw that the people who had read the notice not only did not enter their bookstore, but rushed to Qingsong Bookstore, and when they came out, they were holding "Painted Skin" in their hands.

"Why is this?" The ancient shopkeeper who suffered a huge blow murmured.

He doesn't understand, doesn't understand, doesn't understand!
But shopkeeper Gu is clear about one thing, if Yaxin Bookstore doesn't come up with a countermeasure, it will be over.

After much deliberation, shopkeeper Gu still couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask his boss for instructions.

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

After listening to shopkeeper Gu's report, the man smiled coldly: "Don't get confused, shopkeeper. Qingsong Bookstore has developed so many famous books, and it's taking advantage of our bookstore's new book to be released, people will inevitably come up with something new, "Painted Skin" The next part is still uncertain. Let’s give Mr. Ping’an a little more money to write a new book as soon as possible. With Mr. Ping’an’s momentum, can he be compared with an unknown book writer?”

"My boss is right." Shopkeeper Gu immediately invited Mr. Ping An and urged him to write a new book.

Mr. Pingan just wrote "Butterfly Immortal" not long ago, when his mind was empty, he wanted to take a good rest for a few months, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of Yaxin Bookstore's high price, so he racked his brains to write.

Yaxin Bookstore's new action was silent, all the talk in the capital was Qingsong Bookstore's new storybook, and even many storytellers from 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" finally waited for patrons on this day.
