Chapter 27 The Study(1/2)
Buying a storybook is a trivial matter that cannot be simple for the secret guards.
But this matter is a bit complicated today.
Qi Moyuan's scattered silver was exchanged for Jin'er by the secret guards, and he even spent ten taels of money in it.
Now--
He was going to buy a silver note of 5,000 taels to buy a storybook.
Xizizhai.
It is the largest study in Kyoto.
The secret guard stopped in front of the study, jumped off the horse's back, and stepped into the study.
The shopkeeper was greeting the young man to put the book in. When he saw the secret guard coming in, he stepped forward to greet him, smiling attentively, "What books do the guest officer want to buy?"
"Buy some books," said the secret guard.
"What kind of painting book do you want?" the shopkeeper asked in a low voice.
Which one to buy is a stumping secret guard.
How could he know what kind of script the princess likes to read?
"Just just those you like, get a few more books," said the secret guard.
The shopkeeper understood and looked at the young man, "Go and get twenty books to pack."
Twenty books, the shopkeeper said it when he looked at the secret guard.
No rejection means that you will have twenty books.
The secret guard took out the silver notes from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper, “….”
Is this here to buy a painting book or exchange for a free silver?
Twenty paintings cost only ten taels of silver.
But it will take five taels of silver to be replaced by five thousand taels of silver.
This business doesn't make money.
The shopkeeper looked at the secret guard and said, "Do you have no scattered silver on the guest?"
"No," the secret guard.
Needless to say.
It's definitely here to exchange for money.
Those who can take out 5,000 taels of silver bills at will must not be messed with.
But if the business doesn’t make money, what else does he do?
The shopkeeper greeted a young man and said, "Go to the backyard to pick up some of the most expensive paintings."
The secret guard had a quick ear and heard this, "They are the most expensive."
How could the book the prince gave to the prince's concubine be bad?
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely choose the best one for you."
"The book of our collector's edition is worth the price. You still want to read it after you read it."
The secret guard did not answer the conversation.
What is the book of a killer who says love is a long way to go?
Before the shopkeeper returned to the counter and took it apart, the secret guard stood there waiting.
A maid came in outside, and the guy greeted her. The maid said, "I'll buy two books on "Hydrangea".
"You wait, I'll get it for you," the guy smiled.
The young man went to the bookshelf to pick it up, but after searching for a long time, he didn't see it. He asked another young man, "Where is the "Hydrangea"? Why is it gone?"
"It was sold out half an hour ago," another guy replied with a smile.
"Why is it sold out? My girl is still waiting to see it," the maid said anxiously.
The guy said, "I remember there are two books under the shopkeeper's counter."
The other guy didn't move, and the maid urged, "Go and get it."
The young man shook his head, "I dare not take it. It was left for Miss Jiang Qi, that is, Prince Jing'an's Concubine."
The maid was shocked, "You still dare to sell "Hydrangea" to her? Are you not afraid that she will get angry if she sees it. Did you burn your shop with a torch?"
"I'm afraid, so I left it for her. As long as the shop has a new storybook, I must leave one for her. She will pay double the money," said the young man.
"But isn't the story of "Hydrangea" about her and Prince Jing'an?" the maid said in confusion.
The young man denied it, "Why is it the story of Prince Jing'an and Prince Jing'an? There are many people who throw balls and choose son-in-law in this world."
"Those two books are not sold. You want to leave one for you and you will pick it up tomorrow."
The last two books left were left for Prince Jing'an. Even if the maid borrowed courage from Xiang Tian, she would not dare to steal Prince Jing'an's words. This is all she could do.
"You must leave two copies for my girl," the maid reminded her inconveniently.
The secret guard stood aside, his mouth twitching a little.
He was not interested in reading, but when he heard the three words "Hydrangea" just now, he really wanted to read it.
When the maid heard the story of Prince Jing'an and Princess Princess again, although the young man denied it, the secret guard's curiosity was aroused and he wanted to read it very much.
The young man brought a bag of books from the backyard and placed them on the counter.
Secretly defending the way, "Add two more books of "Hydrangea"."
The shopkeeper was right, "The shop has no need to sell it."
"I want to leave the share for Prince Jing'an," said the secret guard.
The shopkeeper's refusal.
The secret guard didn't talk nonsense to him and put the sword on the counter.
The shopkeeper was timid in an instant and trembled and picked up the book.
Although the secret guard was tough, he was justified. Originally, this book was for the princess, and he did not let the shopkeeper suffer any losses.
He touched two taels of silver and threw it on the counter, took the book and picked up the bag and left.
The shopkeeper behind him urged the young man, "Hurry up, let's copy two more copies to send. I may not be sure that when will the Prince Jing'an send someone to pick it up."
In the study room.
Qi Moyuan is reading a book.
Jin'er carefully pushed open the door with her book in her arms and moved to the bookshelf sideways.
That cautious look was so cautious that he even tried his best to suppress his breathing, for fear of disturbing people.
Jin'er was scared.
This is her third time.
Jiang Wan took the book casually and went back, but couldn't read it. She asked Jin'er to return the book and change it to her.
This maid is really good, she really got one, but it turned out to be even more boring than the last time.
Jiang Wan asked the maid to come back and change it again.
After a while, Jin'er felt that she was annoying.
Next time, she will not come to change the book for the girl if she is beaten to death.
But the more careful I was, the more trouble I was. When I took the book, I took it out and fell to the ground.
Jin'er picked it up, turned around and ran away.
Qi Moyuan frowned tightly, "Put down the book."
Jin'er stopped in frightened, hugging Shu and looking at him, "Miss..."
"I have sent someone to buy a storybook," Qi Moyuan said coldly.
When Jin'er heard this, she smiled.
Put down the book and quickly ran to tell Jiang Wan.
The maid walked forward, and the secret guard at the back jumped into the window with his bags, "Master, I bought the script."
Qi Moyuan looked up and saw the secret guard putting his bag on the desk.
"Open."
He wanted to see what scripts she usually read.
The bag is tied tightly and is not easy to open.
