Ci Jinzhi

  Chapter 90

  Although Zhang Xu is ignorant, he is not so foolish as to think that he and the prince should not be treated differently. After all, he just doesn't like to study, not stupid.

  Especially—King Qing is here!

  He quickly turned his eyes away, pretending not to see King Qing: "How can we be compared with His Highness King Qing? We didn't figure it out, and there was a misunderstanding. Girl Kou, don't take it to heart."

   Those who came to make trouble were all Zhang Xu's little followers. Hearing what he said, naturally he didn't say anything.

   "It's also my boss who is wrong. I underestimated everyone's love for "Painted Skin". How about it, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Today, the lower part of "Painted Skin" will be on sale, so as to save the distinguished guests from running out."

  Hearing what Xin You said, Zhang Xu felt a little embarrassed: "The sale will start today? Well, this won't affect your arrangement, will it?"

Xin You smiled sweetly: "Actually, everything is ready. It's just a good omen for doing business. I want to pick an auspicious day to release a new book. With so many distinguished guests today, I think it's a good auspicious day. Shopkeeper, write a Post up the announcement of the new book release, get ready."

  The superintendents who came here were all teenagers. Most of them were soft rather than hard at this age, especially the one who said this was a beautiful girl of the same age, and the anger disappeared immediately.

   Zhang Xu felt that Xin You was showing face. He not only put away the thorns all over his body, but also showed a bright smile: "Then I will buy eight copies, and each of the friends who come together today will have one copy."

   "Thank you for your support."

  Zhang Xu glanced in the direction where King Qing was, and was about to bite the bullet and say hello, but found that King Qing was no longer there.

  He boasted to himself in his heart.

   Sure enough, he was right in pretending that he hadn’t seen King Qing just now, and now he’s skipping the salute!

  For people like Zhang Xu, the most frightening thing is dealing with people who are far more noble than themselves, especially people who are about the same age.

  Liu Zhou and Shitou quickly brought a stack of books from the printing shop.

   Zhang Xu happily bought eight copies and distributed them to friends who came with him. When he was walking out with the books, he saw Duan Yunlang.

  He vaguely felt that the young man looked familiar, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

  Duan Yunlang cupped his hands: "Young Master Zhang."

  Zhang Xu raised his eyebrows: "You know me?"

  Duan Yunlang smiled: "I am also a student of the Imperial College."

   "I remembered!" Zhang Xu stroked his forehead, "You are often with Meng Fei."

  In Guozijian, where the children of officials and eunuchs gather, the nephew of Shaoqing of Taipusi is inconspicuous, but the grandson of Guozijian Jijiu is very eye-catching.

   Especially Meng Fei was often beaten by Meng Jijiu because he didn't study hard. Although Zhang Xu didn't have a close relationship with the other party, he had a very good impression. After all, when Zhang Shou was training him, he could say that although he was the last one in the exam, the grandson of Guozijian Jijiu took the second last one.

   "Why are you here? Isn't the Imperial College on holiday today?" When talking to Duan Yunlang, Zhang Xu was much more casual.

   Could it be that he heard that he came to seek justice and came here to cheer?

  Thinking about it this way, Zhang Xu finds Duan Yunlang pleasing to the eye.

"The owner of the bookstore is a sister." The relationship between the owner of Qingsong Bookstore and the Shaoqing Mansion is not only known to everyone, but at least it is not a secret to people who are keen on buying books. Now that Zhang Xu has seen it, Duan Yunlang will naturally not hide.

   "Yo, I'm sorry." Zhang Xu glanced at Xin You, apologized to Duan Yunlang for his flirtatiousness, called his friend and walked out.

   "Cousin, you are amazing!" Duan Yunlang watched Xin You dismiss the famous and difficult people in the Imperial College with a few words, full of admiration.

   Shopkeeper Hu, who had just finished writing the notice, looked at Duan Yunlang, thinking that it is up to you to say.

   Seeing Xin You looking over, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly asked: "Boss, the notice has been written, please see if it is all right."

  Xin You looked at it, and nodded with regret: "Yes, let's post it."

  If it is mentioned at the beginning of the notice that it will be released in advance because it is loved by His Royal Highness King Qing, it will definitely greatly increase people's enthusiasm for buying.

  But considering Mr. He's reminder, forget it.

  Making money is not her real purpose of opening a bookstore. If unnecessary troubles are incurred for this, the loss outweighs the gain.

  Because he admired his new owner more and more, shopkeeper Hu's reaction to Xin You was particularly attentive.

  Why do you feel that the boss looks a little regretful? Is there something lacking in the writing? Shopkeeper Hu walked out muttering in his heart.

   "Cousin, go to the reception room to talk."

  Xin You took Duan Yunlang into the reception room and poured him a cup of tea: "The person who came to make trouble today, does cousin know anything else?"

   "You mean Zhang Xu?"

  Xin You nodded: "For a person with Zhang Xu's temper, since Qingsong Bookstore has caught his eye, I'm afraid he will have to deal with it in the future. I can deal with it better if I know more about it."

   "He just came from a good background. His grandfather was the chief minister of the court, and his father was long gone. Zhang Shoufu is just such a grandson. Not many people in the Imperial College dare to provoke him. Even if the exams are counting down every time, the gentlemen can't control it."

   "Is he familiar with Dai Ze?" Xin You calmly asked the key point.

   "Dai Ze from Guchangbo Mansion? They are quite familiar, but Dai Ze is not in the Imperial College."

   Originally, Duan Yunlang's circle had no connection with Dai Ze, but the deeds of Mr. Dai are too famous in the Imperial College, and passed down from generation to generation.

   "It is said that Dai Ze felt dizzy as soon as he entered the Imperial College. At first Gu Changbo didn't believe him and beat him a few times. As a result, he vomited as soon as he entered the Imperial College. Then Meng Jijiu drove the father and son out together."

  Xin You was speechless for a moment.

   "Cousin, don't think that Meng Jijiu is like this, and look down on Dai Ze. Don't think that Dai Ze is just from the uncle's mansion, but the Guchang uncle's mansion is the ancestral home of King Qing..."

Xin You listened carefully, and came up with a few pieces of information. One was that Zhang Xu, who was studying in the Imperial College, had a lot of dealings with Dai Ze, the other was that the two of them didn't like to study, but liked to read casual books like story books, and that Meng Jijiu dared to Sweeping Gu Changbo's face, he is a clean character.

  Xin You also discovered another thing. With the convenience of studying in the Imperial College, Duan Yunlang, who has a cheerful personality, knows a lot.

  When sending Duan Yunlang out, Xin You picked up a copy of "Painted Skin" that had just been placed on the bookshelf: "Cousin, take it home and read it."

  Duan Yunlang's eyes lit up, and he accepted it unceremoniously: "Thank you cousin. Will you go back to eat with me?"

   "No, suddenly changed to sell new books today, I'm still here to watch, my cousin help me tell my grandmother."

  Duan Yunlang agreed without hesitation, and was surprised when he walked out of the bookstore: "Cousin, there are many people in front of the announcement!"

  Xin You curved her lips and smiled.

   It is not empty talk to say that choosing a day is worse than bumping into it. There is a group of prison students making trouble, how could it not arouse people's curiosity.

  Curiosity is the best publicity.

  In the opposite Yaxin Bookstore, shopkeeper Gu looked at the people flocking to Qingsong Bookstore with a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

  This Qingsong Bookstore is so shameless, why is it releasing a new book all of a sudden!

   "Shopkeeper, what shall we do?" the clerk asked with a bitter face.

   "What else can I do, tell the book printing house to send the book over quickly, and we will also release new books!"
