Even though Ms. Liu cried heartbrokenly, Zhao Surui still forced her to send someone back to Beijing as Shen Shiqing to retrieve the books Shen Shiqing lent before letting her go.

After coming and going, it was already night when Mrs. Liu left. Tunan sent the people out. When he came back, he saw that his girl had directed Achi and several maids to open all the boxes and cages in the house.

Zhao Surui stretched his head and looked at it, very surprised.

He originally thought that Shen Shiqing's boxes were filled with her soft clothes, but he didn't expect that they were all packed with books.

Each of the six large mahogany boxes is half a foot long, three feet wide and more than three feet high. Together they contain thousands of books. Three or four little maids must work together to drag each box.

Staring at these boxes as if staring at his own treasury, Zhao Surui said leisurely: "You were exhausted when you pulled these things out of the house, right? Did the Xie family just let you move them out?"

He glanced at it briefly, and among other things, there were several books that looked older than his grandfather. I'm afraid they were worth some money to thank his family for their kindness. If Shen Shiqing could be brought home safely, With these valuables leaving Ning'an Bo's Mansion, Zhao Surui could go without eating meat for three days.

Hearing the girl's question, Achi smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that Princess Yueqing invited the ladies of the Xie family to go on the day we moved out. You asked me to ask about the move-in ceremony early in the morning, and we happened to meet up with the princess's house. Chang Shi was also there, and the Crown Prince’s wife was afraid that others would find out, so she quickly sent some servants to move things for us, but no one stopped us from coming out."

Zhao Surui nodded, feeling that Shen Sanfei was a little lucky.

He picked up a book "Huainan Ten Thousand Bishu" and flipped through it. There were a few paper signatures in it and almost fell out. Zhao Surui took a look at the paper signatures and saw that the words on it were clear and elegant, and he wrote a pill that he couldn't understand. It was a square object with the words "Shen Lizhen" written on it. He thought it was left by the brother and uncle of Shen Sanfai. He closed the book and threw it back, and asked Achi: "Do you know these books?" Which books are the most expensive?"

Achi turned to another box and said, "Most of the books in this box are single copies, which are probably more expensive. But after you have copied them by hand, miss, you will rarely touch these originals. As long as we keep them carefully."

Seeing that his girl was very interested, Achi smiled and said:

"These books are just part of your collection, miss. If you want to read them, Chuiyun will also collect several boxes of books for you. You said that these books are all left to you by the master, even if they are other books Yes, these books must be kept well. Two years ago, you also said that if you have money in the future, you will revise and print some of the excellent books in it and let everyone in the world read them."

Shen Sanfei is a bit pedantic and incompetent...after all, she is also Shen Shao's daughter.

Remembering that these were Shen Shao's relics, the idea of ​​selling them for money faded a little. Zhao Surui sat back on the chair angrily, and turned to Tunan beside him and said:

"Tunan, I'm a little hungry, please get me something to eat." He didn't forget to give another instruction, "Put in more meat."

Tunan responded and went out. Zhao Surui sat under the lamp and saw a group of maids carefully arranging books.

A Chi carefully arranged a manuscript of "Elixir of the Alchemy", turned around and said with a smile: "Girl, if tomorrow is a good day, let's dry the book."

No more money was exchanged, and Zhao Surui immediately lost interest.

If these were not thousands of books but thousands of horses, let alone sunbathing, Zhao Surui would not feel tired even if he took them to the Kunlun Mountains.

"Whatever you want, don't disturb my peace."

"Yeah." Achi smiled and nodded.

Zhao Surui turned his eyes away in disgust. Shen Sanwasi's mind was filled with books. The maid he taught also beamed when he saw the books. Seeing that there was not even a place to sit in the study, he walked out and happened to meet Tunan. He entered the yard holding a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other.

Shen Shiqing usually eats in the study, and Zhao Surui did the same before. After taking a look at the people coming and going in the study, Zhao Surui pointed to the side room without a light and said, "Go there and use it."

A bowl of wontons cooked in soup, a plate of cold bean sprouts, and a plate of finely shredded pig ears. Zhao Surui ate a wonton, and the filling of solid meat and egg rolled into his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction.

Eat another mouthful of shredded ears, a mouthful of bean sprouts, two more wontons and a mouthful of hot soup. Just two words - comfort.

Tunan was afraid that his girl would catch cold, so she took a brazier and placed it nearby for him to keep warm. After Zhao Surui finished eating the wontons, he pushed the bowl and chopsticks and saw that she was still busy busying in silence.

"Tunan."

"girl."

"I drove away the Liu family today and got back those few orphan books. What do you think of what I said?"

Yes, we, Emperor Zhaode, have enough to eat and drink, and we need to praise you again.

Tunan put down the incense burner that was used to smoke the room and said slowly: "Of course everything the girl said makes sense."

After saying that, she stood aside without moving.

Zhao Surui curled his lips: "Is this the end?"

Even if you don’t praise your brilliance and prowess, you should still say, “I have a clear sense of reason and a smooth decision-making”, right?

Tunan put away the bowls and chopsticks and held them in his hands, with a smile on his face. His tone was still slow, as if he had carefully considered every word: "In the past, the girl felt that although Mrs. Liu was old-fashioned, she was kind-hearted and often He said that using the Liu family as a mirror, we can see that women can never be trapped in one world. Tunan felt that the girl was right. Although Mrs. Liu's ideas for the girl today were well-intentioned, none of them were useful. The girl was angry with her for being stubborn and ignorant. It was also right to cut off contact with her. The girl is always right."

"Hmph! Using people as mirrors?" Zhao Surui sneered, "Using people as mirrors, but ended up having to rely on blood letters to seek help in the Buddhist hall. What can be reflected from Mrs. Liu? It's only five words - 'This must not be the case'."

Tunan was silent again.

At night, what Tunan prepared for his girl was no longer tea to wake her up, but a candied date drink made with processed red dates and honey. Zhao Surui took a sip and found it very sweet, so he drank it all in one gulp.

If Shen Sanchi was in front of him at this moment, I'm afraid his scolding would be a hundred times worse.

Guarding a pile of books left behind by ancestors without the slightest ability to protect oneself, the family fortune was wiped out in just a moment.

"When a person walks in this world, every ounce of stability and every ounce of tranquility is exchanged for it. Some people exchange it with flesh and blood, and some people exchange it with dogs, dogs, and flies. Your girl used to exchange it with her own wealth. Life in exchange."

If Zhao Surui hadn't fallen into this shell, God would have taken Shen Shiqing's life as the price for her inaction in the past seven years.

Tunan said nothing.

Only Zhao Surui drank a full pot of candied dates.

"Since the Xie family is very busy right now, we can't be idle. Tunan, do you know what fun things there are around here?"

There happened to be a little maid in the yard. Tunan called her over and handed the bowl over, and then said:

"There are many acres nearby. There are a few persimmon trees and a maple forest on the mountain not far away. The scenery is nice. If you like it, girl, you can go for a walk."

When he heard that there was a forest, Zhao Surui was immediately tempted:

"Do we have bows and arrows?"

Tunan said: "I have a small bow weighing fifteen pounds and more than thirty arrows."

Emperor Zhaode, who could gallop on the battlefield with a sixty-pound war bow, suddenly lost interest.

Fifteen pounds is just a woman's thing.

Looking down and seeing Shen Sanfei's slender wrists, he felt suffocated again.

With such a small body, I'm afraid I can't even draw a fifteen-pound bow.

At this moment, Zhao Surui wanted to change back very much. He wanted to ride his bloody horses, shoot his sixty-pound black-horned birch bark bow, ride a horse and shoot deer, and also wanted to throw the deer into the In the elephant garden, he watched his tigers fight and bite.

The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.

Zhao Surui sighed: "Forget it, do we have horses?"

If you can’t hunt, you can always ride a horse, right?

Tunan said: "There are several horses and a dozen mules, which are used to pull carts. They were brought by the women before. This village originally only had a few donkeys and three cows for pulling mills."

It turns out that this extremely thin family background is still the meager foundation he built after he came here?!

Zhao Surui slumped in his chair and was speechless. Even if Dayong's treasury was emptied, he would not be so poor!

At this moment, he couldn't help but think about the books in Shen Sanfai's study. He could sell the books first, and when he bought the horse and had the knife, he could snatch the books back. Anyway, it was just a transfer. It's a matter of two hands.

Just when Emperor Zhaode was planning to challenge the Dayong Code as a woman for a few taels of money to buy a horse, there was a sudden noise outside.

Then, she heard someone running in hurriedly.

"Young madam! Peifeng asked me to send a message back. The second young master has come to our village on horseback!"

Second young master? As soon as she heard these three words, Tunan quickly tightened the sword at her waist. She was about to protect her girl and go to a safe place, but she saw the girl leaping out.

horse!

That man came on horseback!

Zhao Surui was so happy that he ran all the way holding his robe.

After selling Shen Sanfai's book, you still have to snatch it back. Now you have a horse to snatch it back. Isn't it much easier?

"Tunan, gather the men! Tie the people up for me! The horses must be protected!"

"Ah Chi, take the people to guard the backyard, but if you act rashly, shoot and kill!"

Ah Chi hurriedly chased him out, only to see his frail girl who was always reading, drawing, mixing incense and paints rushing out so quickly that no one could catch up.

At the second gate of Zhuangzi, a man was pointing his riding whip at the maid standing in front of him.

"This Zhuangzi belongs to my Xie family. You dare to stop me?"

Peifeng said nothing and stood in front of the door holding a spear in his hand.

Suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and a woman wearing a moon-white satin robe walked out quickly.

Xie Fengan recognized this woman at a glance as his nominal wife Shen Shiqing.

Seeing Shen Shiqing walking in a hurry, Xie Fengan felt proud in his heart. Shen Shiqing had been extremely indifferent to him for many years, and after being imprisoned in this Zhuangzi for some days, she finally knew how to bow to him.

Unfortunately, the Wan Niang became pregnant with his flesh and blood. Now the Xie family is in dire straits. He has to marry the Wan Niang immediately in order for his uncle to step in and save his father.

The cool moon was like water, shining on Shen Shiqing's plain white face, giving off a somewhat ethereal aura. Xie Feng'an prided himself on being romantic and sentimental, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.

If Shen Shiqing is willing to be obedient from now on, he can keep her as a concubine, and after two years when the wife has given birth to a child and has settled down, he can take Shen Shiqing into his house.

Looking at all his concubines, some are romantic and charming, some are demure and amiable, some are charming and charming, some are fierce and willful. Feng Wanniang is gentle and affectionate, but not very literate. There is really one missing like Shen Shiqing. In such a leisurely way, he would take his concubine to the Qinhuai River to let his peers see how beautiful the daughter raised by a bachelor was.

As soon as they met, Xie Fengan thought a lot.

He looked at "Shen Shiqing", and "Shen Shiqing" also looked at him - the horse behind him.

The legs are long and even, the fur is smooth, and the eyes are lively... Although it is not a "famous horse", it is definitely a good horse.

Xie Fengan saw "Shen Shiqing" approaching him and was about to speak when he heard an angry rebuke:

"Who are you? How can you pretend to be the husband of the Xie family? Come on, catch this gangster pretending to be my husband!"
