Warm spring enters Hou's door

Chapter 42 Deception

Moreover, if my book collection can impress my son-in-law, and I can recommend it to relatives and friends later, then my reputation in the upper circles of Chang'an City may be able to climb a level higher!

Gu Chengyuan thought happily, and quickly pulled his precious son again. "Master Hou, this way please."

It's just that Gu Chengyuan, a small book collection pavilion, must not be able to enter the eyes of Du Juanqing, a century-old family.

However, he followed Gu Chengyuan patiently and walked around, listening to this person babbling to introduce all these books, and then he found a chance to speak: "These books are not bad, but all of them have already been read by me. I have read it. I wonder if there are any other books here, father-in-law, that this Marquis has not read?"

"This..." Gu Chengyuan shook his head, "I'm afraid it's gone."

"However, this Marquis heard from my wife that her grandfather collected many rare and rare books. Before he died, he left all those books to your father-in-law who knows and loves books?"

"Ah, Lord Hou, you are talking about this!" Gu Chengyuan suddenly realized, "Indeed, my father-in-law did spend a lot of money to collect a lot of strange books. It's just that Xiaguan once read a few books. These books are not very useful, so I asked someone to put them away."

"Really? That Hou just likes to read some miscellaneous books, how about father-in-law take me there to see and see!" Du Juanqing said.

Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan's expression became a little subtle.

"Master Hou, do you really want to see it?"

"Is it not possible?" Du Juanqing asked back.

"No!" Gu Chengyuan quickly shook his head, "It's just a pile of broken books. If you want to read it, Lord Hou, I will take you there!"

Then, the two of them left the study room, walked around behind Gu's mansion for a long time, and finally arrived at the door of a small dusty house that hadn't been visited for a long time.

There was only one old servant at the door.Seeing someone approaching, he quickly stood up and saluted, and Gu Chengyuan waved his hand. "Stop talking so much nonsense, open the door quickly, Master Hou wants to read the book left by the old man!"

"Okay!" The old servant hurriedly responded, took out the key and opened the door.

Du Juanqing stepped in, and found that there was something strange in this room: as far as he could see, there were more than a dozen bookshelves here, all of which were full of books.This was not enough, there were dozens of wooden boxes piled up on the ground, and when they were opened, they were all filled with books.It's just that these books have various titles and are arranged in a mess.

"What this Marquis is looking for is a book called "The World's Strange Disease"." Du Juanqing said.

"Yes, I know!" Gu Chengyuan hurriedly nodded, and turned to call the old servant and his son to search together.

After a short meeting, the book was found, and Gu Chengyuan hurriedly took the book from the servant and handed it to Du Junqing.

Sure enough, the book is here.Du Juanqing's eyes darkened when he saw the four characters of "A Strange Disease in the World" clearly written on the pages of the book with yellowed hair.

He took it, opened it and looked at it, and his expression changed immediately.Hurry up and turn back... His face became even uglier.

Gu Chengfeng watched from the sidelines, his heart was already in his throat.

"Master Hou, please calm down. Xiaguan's father-in-law is a farmer who doesn't know a few big characters, but he always likes to be arty, so he spent money to buy a bunch of things that can't be seen. Xiaguan once advised him not to be deceived by others. But he was not happy, so the Xiaguan had no choice but to let him go. Who knew that after his death, he left these books to the Xiaguan, and the Xiaguan's wife wanted to keep them, so the Xiaguan could only keep them. Yes. Now, these things have stained your eyes, Lord Marquis. Is it your fault? This official will destroy all these books!"

"No, Ben Hou didn't mean to blame you." Du Juanqing shook his head lightly, but his eyes were covered with a layer of coldness.

If he wanted to blame, he only blamed Gu Caiqin.

That woman, she definitely did it on purpose!
