Ci Jinzhi - Chapter 215

  Beizhen Fusi’s room, even if it’s used to entertain guests, is hard to relax.

  He Qingxiao persuaded Xin You, and said, “I’ll send Miss Kou back.”

   “Master He brought me here suddenly, do you want to explain later?”

   “Miss Kou is the only person known to have dealt with Mr. Songling so far. It is not surprising that Miss Kou came to inquire.”

  If possible, He Qingxiao would not want to bring Miss Kou and Mr. Songling together, but at that time the situation was urgent, and he wanted to prevent Miss Kou from assassinating King Qing and King Qing had nothing to say, so that was all he could do.

   “I see.” Xinyou said good words, and walked out of Beizhen Fusi yamen alone without anyone to see her off.

  At that time, the sun was shining brightly, and there were cries of hawking and laughter from afar, and there was a lot of noise and fireworks in the world.

  The words of He Qingxiao’s persuasion suddenly sounded in Xin You’s ears.

   “Master!”

   “Girl—”

  Xiao Lian, shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou ran over.

   “Why are you here?” Xin You asked looking at the familiar faces.

  Business Manager Hu and Liu Zhou were nothing more than watching her being taken away by Jin Linwei. And Xiao Lian was left in the East Courtyard by her for the past two days, because she was afraid that she would assassinate Queen Qing, and if she was present as a personal servant girl, she would be killed immediately.

  Killing Queen Qing, she and the people in the bookstore will definitely be interrogated by the government, so she revealed her identity and let that person know that she pretended to be Kou Qingqing and deceived everyone.

   “I’m worried about you!” Liu Zhou hurriedly said, “Why did Mr. He suddenly bring you to such a place…”

  Xiao Lian saw the muslin wrapped around Xin You’s hand at a glance, and her expression changed suddenly: “Girl, are you injured?”

   Liu Zhou had a look of disbelief: “Master He tortured you?”

   Shopkeeper Hu also frowned, a little angry.

   Sure enough, we still have to do business well, and stay away from these young people.

   “Let’s talk about it when we go back.”

  Only Shi Shi was guarding the lobby of the bookstore. Seeing Xin You and the others coming back, they also ran over: “Boss, are you alright?”

“fine.”

  Shitou showed a relaxed smile.

  This night, Xin You slept very restlessly, dreaming intermittently, dreaming of the tragic death of her mother for a while, and dreaming of He Qingxiao holding her hand, asking her to live.

  On the second day, shopkeeper Hu came to ask about the release date of the third volume of Journey to the West.

   “Wait a little longer, there is no rush.”

  Xin You never opened a bookstore to make money. Right now, when they are confronting King Qing, the bookstore is not moving at all.

  Xin You’s calm appearance fell into Shopkeeper Hu’s eyes, it was unfathomable, and she agreed without even asking a question.

  Without the stimulation of new story books, the business of the bookstore has entered a stable period, and the number of customers who come here is scattered, and Liu Zhou and Shitou also have leisure time.

  The sun was just right outside, and with the chatter of the two guys, Xin You felt a little sleepy.

   “It’s better for the owner to go back to the East Courtyard and rest.” Shopkeeper Hu advised.

   “It’s okay to go back, I’ll observe the usual passenger flow.”

   Shopkeeper Hu was immediately moved by the entrepreneurial spirit of the owner, and carefully turned over the accounts.

   Waiting until noon, Duan Yunlang rushed in.

   “Cousin, are you okay?”

  Seeing Duan Yunlang’s agitated appearance, Xin You showed doubts.

  Duan Yunlang looked around the study hall and saw no outsiders were there, lowered his voice and said: “I heard that you were taken away by Jin Linwei yesterday!”

  Xin You laughed: “Who did my cousin listen to?”

   “A classmate. What’s going on? Don’t you have a good relationship with Mr. He?”

   “I just asked something, cousin don’t have to worry.”

   “As long as it’s okay.” Duan Yunlang breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Duan Yunchen, “The rankings are about to be released, so I won’t tell my brother how he did in the exam.”

  This year coincides with the three-year spring festival. I took the exam in February, and it is not certain which day the ranking will be released in March.

  Duan Yunchen’s participation in Chunwei is considered the most important thing for the Shaoqing Mansion. But because of Gu Changbo’s death, the Shaoqing Mansion has another worry.

  Duan Yunlang’s voice was lower: “Fortunately, that happened after the elder brother finished the exam, otherwise the elder brother will definitely be affected…”

   Duan Yunlang talked about the impact of Gu Changbo’s accident on everyone in the Shaoqing Mansion. Xin You listened silently, but in fact he didn’t care.

   “Cousin, take care of yourself, I should go back.”

   Duan Yunlang was relieved after seeing his cousin, and went back to the Imperial College.

  Xin You regained his drowsy look.

  Yesterday’s assassination with the will to die was interrupted, but it consumed a lot of her energy.

  She was persuaded by Mr. He, but the feeling that the plan failed was not good.

  The only certainty is—King Qing will come again.

   King Qing came again on the third day.

   Just in time for the release of the test results, all the young and old in the capital ran to watch the excitement, and the street of Qingsong Bookstore was a little deserted for a while.

   King Qing still travels in a low-key way, with only two attendants on the surface, and of course there are many guards hidden in the dark.

   “I’m here to disturb Miss Kou again.” King Qing looked at the girl in the green skirt with a half-smile, “Chang Lehou won’t come to you for anything today, will he?”

   King Qing was annoyed that He Qingxiao interrupted his cross-examination that day.

  But thinking of Jin Linwei’s actions these days, Miss Kou said that his uncle’s death was related to him, King Qing didn’t doubt He Qingxiao’s move of bringing Xinyou to Jin Linwei, but became more disturbed.

  What does this girl know?

  In the reception room, the fragrance of tea was wafting, and the sunlight poured in from the small window, illuminating the girl’s face brightly.

   “Miss Kou, you don’t want Xiao Wang to bother you from time to time, do you? We smart people don’t talk dark words, what do you know?” King Qing leaned forward, with an attitude that could not be refused.

  Xin You showed helplessness, and sighed: “I knew His Royal Highness King Qing didn’t believe this, so I strongly urge Mr. Dai not to say it.”

   King Qing smiled coolly: “I always have a reason to believe.”

  Xin You used Dai Ze to lure King Qing into the bait at that time, so he didn’t consider the follow-up. But I didn’t expect that He Qingxiao would come. After letting her have it, she would have to face the trouble of attracting the fish.

  Looking at the aggressive King Qing, Xin You secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

   Fortunately, she was lucky enough to “see” something.

   “His Royal Highness Prince Qing must pay attention to the water, as he may be injured by water in the near future.”

  King Qing sneered: “Is this what Miss Kou convinced me?”

“yes.”

   “Let’s wait and see.” King Qing got up and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

  Xin You sent it out of the bookstore silently.

  Across the street, a tall girl walked this way, she seemed to be here to buy books.

  The girl is just pretty, nothing special. I don’t know how many guests like this have come to bookstores.

  Xin You glanced casually, then froze suddenly, then ran over with her skirt up.

  Her sudden movement made the two attendants who were following King Qing vigilant, and put their hands on the scabbard together, and the dark guards also surrounded them instantly.

  The reaction of these people may sound like a long time, but in fact it only took a moment.

  Xin You looked like she didn’t notice, and waved at the girl: “My sister, I finally waited for you to come!”

  When the girl was stunned, Xin You had already approached and held her hand firmly.
