Li Sanlang had been given instructions before.
Their boss said that academic officials from the imperial court would probably come to their study room.
No matter what he says then, he must agree first.
Although their boss was not in the bookstore now, Li Sanlang still bowed and said politely: "Master Xuezheng, please go into the inner room and sit for a while. I will go and tell my boss what Xuezheng wants."
Zhang Xuezheng did not hesitate and followed Li Sanlang directly into the bookstore.
From what the guy said, their owner shouldn't be at Sanwei Bookstore.
Zhang Xuezheng himself came here on a whim, and others didn't know.
If he stays outside, those present will definitely ask him for advice.
If Zhang Xuezheng could confront him, he would naturally not be stingy in giving him advice.
But the problem is...
He can't be sorry!
It's better to follow this guy into the inner room and hide for a while.
Jacky Cheung followed Li Sanlang into the study room and was placed in the inner room.
Li Sanlang asked someone to serve him tea, and also brought him a new storybook to relieve his boredom.
"Master Xuezheng, this is a new storybook published by our bookstore."
"Master Academician, please take a look at it to pass the time."
Zhang Xuezheng took it and turned it over.
He had also read the book about the previous conversation.
It is a story about a female ghost and a scholar.
The story is really good, the content is confusing and exciting.
Coupled with the extremely realistic and artistic pictures of beauties, it really makes readers fascinated.
What he got in his hands now was the book of words that everyone outside was vying to see in advance.
Zhang Xuezheng was not polite and looked down.
"The Legend of White Snake..."
"A snake demon who has been cultivating for a thousand years turned into a human form named Bai Suzhen. He and the green snake spirit Xiaoqing arrived at the West Lake by chance. It was cloudy and a sudden rain came, and the two were unable to be trapped in the pavilion. The scholar Xu Xian..."
Jacky Cheung was attracted by the story unknowingly and turned several pages in one breath.
He didn't suddenly come back to his senses until he saw Fahai appear later.
"Paint lotus and monk paintings..."
"It turns out that this couplet is actually key to this story."
"Second line... Xu Xian is a scholar..."
"Scholar..."
"No, it's still a little difficult."
Zhang Xuezheng murmured.
Since the first couplet could correspond to the scenes in the book, he always felt that the second couplet of this pair should also be hidden in the book.
Zhang Xuezheng was in the inner room, studying a script that had not yet been officially released.
But after researching for a long time, I always feel like I have some clues, but I can’t grasp them.
He was a little tired.
Put down the notebook and pick up the warm tea that had just been replaced.
"Huh? Is it the same as the tea that Su Yu gave me?"
Could it be that the tea leaves given to him by Su Yu were also given by the owner of Sanwei Bookstore?
Zhang Xuezheng put down his tea cup and became more and more curious about this owner.
But no one came.
He couldn't help but stand up and wanted to call the shopkeeper who was outside.
Opening the door to the inner room, I heard that for some reason, it was much quieter than before.
Are all the guests gone?
Moreover, the waiter and shopkeeper waiting at the door of the inner room suddenly disappeared.
The people he brought with him were also looking curiously at the bookstore.
Zhang Xuezheng's intuition told him what happened here.
…
And not long ago.
Several servants suddenly appeared outside the bookstore.
These servants were quickly recognized by people present.
"Isn't this a servant of Fang Mansion?"
"The last time I came to Sanwei Bookstore to cause trouble, shopkeeper Xiao Li led his men and kicked him out."
"Want to cause trouble again this time?"
After popular science, other people soon learned about it.
The servants still had bruises on one side of their faces, and some of them were not even swollen.
Judging from their expressions, they didn't look like they were here to cause trouble.
But many people still looked at the servants with dissatisfaction.
But when he thought that the academic master had just been invited in, his dissatisfaction quickly turned into gloating.
No matter how domineering the Fang family is, they are still in this city.
They are not even serious relatives of the emperor.
Master Xuezheng will return to the capital soon.
By then, it doesn't matter who you are, whether you are a noble or a concubine, the impeachment from the civil servants will be enough for them.
These servants felt a little numb when they saw them, with awkward smiles on their faces.
Bite the bullet and walked into the bookstore.
The waiter Ah Wu was greeting the guests. When he saw them coming in, he felt like he was facing an enemy.
Are these people trying to cause trouble again?
Li Sanlang raised his head from the counter and looked at these people somewhat unhappily.
Didn't Erlang say that Sister Hongying took people to Fang Mansion to deal with it?
Moreover, my uncle also thought of a way, and now Master Xuezheng is in the inner room.
Do these people still dare to come?
In fact, the servants of Fang Mansion didn't know that Master Xuezheng was here.
When they entered the door, Master Xuezheng had already been invited in.
The people outside were busy discussing the pair's affairs.
When they saw them appearing, they all stared angrily. How could they tell them that Master Xuezheng was here?
The head servant's cheeks were red and swollen and turned blue.
As soon as he smiled, his face ached.
He showed a rather ugly smile.
As soon as the smiling face appeared, the atmosphere in the study room became even more tense.
The bookstore was divided into three groups of people at some point.
One group was the people who originally worked in the bookstore.
One group is the guests.
There is another group...
Wearing servants' clothes, all of them had bruises on their faces.
Li Sanlang put the old abacus in a convenient position and walked out from the counter.
Be polite before fighting.
Courtesy before a fight is still essential.
He was about to speak and give his usual polite remonstrance.
The servants all clasped their fists, lowered their heads and said, "I, I came here today to apologize."
"Earlier, I came here behind the master's back to cause trouble."
"When the master learned the news yesterday, he severely punished us and asked us to come and apologize."
"I'm so sorry for my previous recklessness!"
The leading servant obviously memorized the manuscript and finished it all in one breath.
Li Sanlang, who originally wanted to get started after persuading him, was stunned.
Others in the bookstore stood dumbfounded by their change of attitude.
Come to apologize?
Wasn't he very arrogant the day before yesterday?
And they clearly said that they came here to ask their bookstore to stop producing the painting paper because of their master’s orders.
Now he is talking about why he is going behind his back.
Can you believe these lies?
But Li Sanlang quickly reacted.
I can’t believe it, but it doesn’t matter.
Obviously, the current situation is the result of Sister Hongying taking people to Fang Mansion yesterday.
Everyone was still stunned, but Li Sanlang had already put on a smiling face.
"Easy to say."
"I just said that our study room and temple are small and we can't disturb Fang Mansion."
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Big brothers, please don't come over to cause trouble again."
"Haha, I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore."
The servants quickly agreed.
After apologizing, Li Sanlang didn't want to tangle with them anymore and asked people to send them all away.
With so many guests in the house, business is still important.
After seeing off the group of servants, Zhang Xuezheng watched the whole process from behind and listened to the low voices of the people next to him.
"Are those people really from Fang Mansion?"
"Yes, that's them."
This guest happened to have seen people from Tianfang Mansion come to cause trouble.
He whispered to the companion next to him: "The day before yesterday, a group of people came over in a ferocious manner and told Sanwei Bookstore to stop producing one of the painting notebooks according to their owner's wishes."
"I didn't expect that today, everyone would come to apologize."
"I don't know what those people in Fang Mansion are going to do."
"Could it be that the people in Fang Mansion realized that they had made a mistake?"
"I don't think so. It seems like the people from the Fang Mansion have offended someone they shouldn't have, and they are here to make amends."
"That makes sense..."
After hearing these words, Zhang Xuezheng nodded secretly in agreement.
These unscrupulous slaves only listen to their master's wishes.
I came here to cause trouble the day before yesterday and came here to apologize today. It was obviously under the instructions of my master.
It's just that there was only one day between them, so why did Fang Mansion's attitude change so much?
So after the owner of Sanwei Bookstore found out that Fang Mansion was sending people to cause trouble, he found someone to help coordinate?
Neither does coordination.
Once the coordination is done, there is no need to apologize in such a big way.
This is obviously a sign of weakness from Fang Mansion.
It made Fang Fu, who never had a good reputation, take the initiative to show weakness. It was obvious that the other party had a greater identity than them.
"so……"
"The owner of Sanwei Bookstore is definitely not an ordinary person!"
"Could it be..."
He has a high status, and his literary talents are not even comparable to his academic and political skills.
Only the one in the provincial capital!
——Mr. Zhao, Zhao Chengshu!
The Minister of Hubu is recuperating in his hometown.
Could it be that Mr. Zhao is behind this bookstore?
Zhang Xuezheng's eyes widened, feeling that he had discovered something extraordinary.
