Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 93 Invitation

Mr. Pingan endured the embarrassment and said, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper."

Liu Zhou looked subtle, but did not refuse: "Then come in."

As the boy turned sideways, Mr. Pingan walked in.

He looked around unconsciously, the layout of the study hall was still the same as in his impression, only the details were a little more elegant, other than that, the books had changed.When he switched to Yaxin Bookstore, Qingsong Bookstore was already on the decline. Although the bookshelves were full of books, they were far from being filled up like this. Even the corners are full of "Painted Skin".

Liu Zhou noticed Mr. Ping'an's absence, and his face showed complacency.

Who would have thought that the bookstore's business would be so good!Now not only the lower part of "Painted Skin" is in short supply, but the upper part also has many new customers coming to buy it, and the printing workshop behind it has never stopped from morning till night.

According to the shopkeeper, it was because the story of the female customer spread, and many people who had never read the stories in the scriptures came to buy it out of curiosity.And these people are much more than those who love to read the stories of the story. Now the popular trend in Beijing is to talk about "Painted Skin" from top to bottom.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by the shopkeeper, he can tell from the owner's purchase of the bookstore that their owner is a golden master!

"Shitou, please tell the shopkeeper that Mr. Ping'an is here."

Stone responded and went to the west courtyard.

Not long after, shopkeeper Hu walked in, glanced at Mr. Pingan, and smiled: "Mr. Pingan came here early in the morning, what is your business?"

Mr. Ping'an's departure was not very pleasant at the beginning. In Hu's opinion, it was a stab at Qingsong Bookstore, and it was still a vital point.

Mr. Ping'an cupped his hands: "Shopkeeper, I want to see Mr. Song Ling."

He wanted to see what kind of person was the one who made him suffer such a crushing defeat.

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned.

He thought that Mr. Ping'an was kicked out by the other side and wanted to turn around, but it turned out that he wanted to see Mr. Songling.

"That's really sorry, Mr. Song Ling is not in our bookstore."

"Can the shopkeeper tell you where Mr. Pine Ling lives?"

Shopkeeper Hu said don't say you don't know, even if you know, you can't tell you, otherwise, what should I do if I go to trouble Mr. Songling.

"The little old man doesn't know where Mr. Songling lives."

There was anger in Mr. Ping'an's eyes: "I just want to see Mr. Song Ling, why should the shopkeeper shirk it in every possible way!"

Shopkeeper Hu was also annoyed, and said lightly: "Mr. Song Ling's situation, the little old man doesn't know anything. If you have nothing else to do, don't waste your time here."

"you!"

Liu Zhou spread his hands: "Sir, please."

Mr. Ping'an's face turned pale, he gave the two of them a hard look, and walked away.

"Tch, who is it?" Liu Zhou rolled his eyes at the empty door.

"I'm going to sweep the door." Shito ran out with the broom.

For Shitou, the gloomy days of Qingsong Bookstore were also his gloomy days. Thanks to the kindness of the shopkeeper, he got a new owner later.Those who have anything to do with the bookstore opposite are all bad guys!
When Xinyou came from behind, shopkeeper Hu told about Mr. Ping'an's visit.

"The shopkeeper did the right thing. Mr. Songling said at the beginning that he didn't want people to know his identity and appearance. Now that Mr. Songling is famous, more and more people want to inquire about him. We are here You must pay attention to this.”

"Master, don't worry, no one can find a word about Mr. Song Ling from our bookstore."

After all, I really don't know anything.

As more and more customers came to buy books, Mr. Ping'an's visit was quickly forgotten by everyone.Xin You was busy for a while and returned to the East Courtyard. Not long after, the disciples reported that the third girl from the Shaoqing Mansion had arrived.

Xinyou ordered Xiaolian to invite Duan Yunling in.

"Cousin Qing, I can't even squeeze in the bookstore, so I came here directly."

Xiao Lian brings tea and snacks.

"Ling cousin drinking tea."

Duan Yunling picked up the chrysanthemum tea and explained the purpose of coming: "Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival. Grandma will take us to go for an autumn outing. Let me ask my cousin to go home and prepare."

"Treading autumn?" Xinyou has been so busy these days that she forgot that the Double Ninth Festival is here.

"That's right. Grandma happened to be unwell last year in Chongyang Festival. We were the only ones who went there. Grandma said that everyone who is free will go together this year."

Xinyou has no interest in going on autumn walks with people from Shaoqing's mansion, but if there is a custom of family walks on autumn walks in Chongyang in the capital, it might be worth a visit.

"Did grandma tell you where to go for an autumn walk?"

"It's the Bailu Mountain we visited last year."

Xin You sighed: "I don't even remember what happened last year."

Only then did Duan Yunling remember the memory loss of his cousin, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's just climbing high and looking far, and eating chrysanthemum cakes, drinking chrysanthemum wine, and giving each other dogwood. It's interesting, cousin, let's go."

Seeing the booming business of the bookstore with her own eyes, she was really afraid that her cousin would reject her.

Duan Yunling didn't want to be with Duan Yunhua, and there was a huge age difference with Duan Yunyan, so she really wanted to have Xinyou as company.

"Who usually go to Bailu Mountain?" Xin You boldly asked with the help of "amnesia".

"It's mainly the home of hundreds of officials and nobles."

Xin You nodded: "Cousin Ling, go back first, I'll go there after I'm done with the bookstore."

Duan Yunling successfully invited someone and left happily.

"Little Lian, don't rush to clean up." Xin You waved her hand, "During Chongyang last year, Miss Kou and some girls from Shaoqing's Mansion went to Bailu Mountain?"

"Well, at that time, the girl was just out of filial piety, and it was the first time she officially went out to play."

"That day, Mr. Dai who came to the bookstore to forcefully buy "Painted Skin", did he also go?"

Xiao Lian tried her best to recall it, and shook her head: "I don't have much impression. There are too many people going to Bailu Mountain. The girl is not used to not going out for a long time, and she didn't go to the lively place. But I heard that Princess Zhaoyang has gone. Many mistresses brought their juniors to greet the eldest princess."

Xin You's heart skipped a beat when she heard Princess Zhaoyang.

My mother once mentioned that she also has an aunt, and the aunt and sister-in-law have a very good relationship.Could Princess Zhaoyang be the aunt mentioned by the mother?

At this time, Xin You also planned to visit it, not for Guchangbo Mansion.

In Shaoqing's mansion, the old lady heard Duan Yunling's reply, smiled and said to the second wife, Zhu Shi: "I never thought that Qingqing would be so capable and manage a bookstore so well."

The old lady had listened to Qingsong Bookstore recently, so she took a look from a distance when she went out, and found that people who bought books had lined up from the store to the street.

It is no exaggeration to say that the business is so good.

Zhu Shi responded with a smile: "Yes."

"You are taking care of the house now, wait for Qingqing to come back and make up for her, so that the girl won't lose her health." Speaking of this, the old lady smiled meaningfully, "Qingqing is caring, and you are right as an aunt." She is good, she will remember it in her heart."

"Don't worry, old lady, it's the daughter-in-law's duty to take good care of Qingqing." Mrs. Zhu responded with a sneer in her heart.

The old lady still wanted to keep the golden Buddha of Cousin at home, but she didn't see how she was willing to go back to the cage if she didn't see how the sky was so high that birds could fly.
