Although Zhang Xu was uneducated, he was not so stupid as to think that he and the prince should not be treated differently. After all, he just doesn't like studying, he's not stupid.
Especially——Prince Qing is here!
He quickly looked away and pretended not to see Prince Qing: "How can we be compared with His Highness Prince Qing? It's because we didn't understand clearly and there was a misunderstanding. Miss Kou, don't take it to heart."
The people who came to make trouble were all Zhang Xu's followers. After hearing what he said, they naturally said nothing.
"It's my fault as the owner. I underestimated everyone's love for "Painted Skin". Let's do this. It's better to choose the right time than to hit the sun. We will put the lower part of "Painted Skin" on sale today to save our distinguished customers from running out of money."
Hearing what Xin You said, Zhang Xu felt a little embarrassed: "On sale today? Well, does this not affect your arrangements?"
Xin You smiled brightly: "Actually, everything is ready. I just want a good omen for doing business and want to choose an auspicious day to release the new book. There are so many distinguished guests today, which in my opinion is a good auspicious day. Shopkeeper, write this Put up the notice for the release of the new book and get ready.”
The prison students who came were all teenagers. At this age, most of them were soft-spoken rather than tough-minded. Especially when the person who said this was a beautiful girl of similar age, his anger immediately dissipated.
Zhang Xu felt that Xin You had given him face, so he not only put away his thorns, but also showed a bright smile: "Then I will buy eight copies, and each of the friends who came together today will have one copy."
"Thank you for your visit."
Zhang Xu glanced in the direction of Prince Qing, ready to go and say hello, but found that Prince Qing was no longer there.
He praised himself in his mind.
Sure enough, I was right to pretend not to see King Qing just now, now I don’t have to salute!
For people like Zhang Xu, the most daunting thing is dealing with people who are far more noble than themselves, especially people of similar age.
Liu Zhou and Shitou quickly brought a stack of books from the printing shop.
Zhang Xu happily bought eight books and distributed them to his friends who came with him. When he walked out with the books, he saw Duan Yunlang.
He vaguely felt that this young man looked familiar, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
Duan Yunlang cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Xu raised his eyebrows: "Do you know me?"
Duan Yunlang smiled: "I am also a student of the Imperial College."
"I remembered!" Zhang Xu stroked his forehead, "You were often with Meng Fei."
In the Imperial College, where the descendants of officials gathered, the nephew of the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple was inconspicuous, but the grandson of the Imperial College's wine sacrifice was very eye-catching.
In particular, Meng Fei was often beaten by Meng Jiji because he didn't study well. Although Zhang Xu didn't have a close relationship with him, he had a very good impression. After all, when Zhang Shou was training him, he could say that although he was the last in the exam, the grandson of the Imperial College Jijiu was the second to last in the exam.
"Why are you here too? Isn't the Imperial College on holiday today?" Zhang Xu was much more casual when speaking to Duan Yunlang.
Could it be that he heard that he was here to seek injustice and came here specifically to support him?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu found Duan Yunlang very pleasing to his eye.
"The owner of the bookstore is my sister-in-law." The relationship between the owner of Qingsong Bookstore and Shaoqing's Mansion is not only known to everyone, but at least it is not a secret to people who are keen on buying story books. Since Zhang Xu has seen it, Duan Yunlang will naturally not hide.
"Hey, I'm sorry about that." Zhang Xu glanced at Xin You, apologized to Duan Yunlang lightly, greeted his friend and walked out.
"Cousin, you are so awesome!" Duan Yunlang watched with his own eyes as Xin You dismissed a notoriously difficult person from the Imperial College with just a few words, and was filled with admiration.
Shopkeeper Hu, who had just finished writing the notice, looked at Duan Yunlang and thought to himself, you don't need to say this.
Seeing Xin You looking over, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly asked: "Master, the notice has been written. Please check if it is appropriate."
Xin You looked at it and nodded with regret: "Okay, just post it."
If it were mentioned at the beginning of the notice that it will be released in advance because it is loved by His Highness Prince Qing, it will definitely increase people's enthusiasm for buying.
But after thinking about Master He’s reminder, I decided to forget it.
Making money is not her real purpose of opening a bookstore. If it causes unnecessary trouble, it will be more than worth the gain.
Because he admires the new owner more and more, shopkeeper Hu is particularly concerned about Xin You's reaction.
Why do you feel that the host seems a little regretful? Is there something missing in the writing? Shopkeeper Hu muttered in his heart and walked out.
"Cousin, go to the guest room to talk."
Xin You led Duan Yunlang into the reception room and poured him a cup of tea: "Does my cousin know anything else about the people who came to make trouble today?"
"You mean Zhang Xu?"
Xin You nodded: "Since Qingsong Bookstore has caught the eye of a person with Zhang Xu's temperament, I'm afraid he will have to deal with him in the future. It would be easier if I knew more about him."
"He just comes from a good background. His grandfather was the chief minister of the dynasty, and his father has been gone for a long time. Zhang, the chief minister, is just a grandson. Not many people in the Imperial College dare to provoke him. Even if he is last in the exams every time, the gentlemen can't control him."
"Is he familiar with Dai Ze?" Xin You asked the key question calmly.
"Dai Ze from Guchangbo Mansion? They are quite familiar with each other, but Dai Ze is not in the Imperial College."
Originally, in Duan Yunlang's circle, he had little contact with Dai Ze. However, the deeds of Mr. Dai became famous in the Imperial Academy and were passed down from generation to generation.
"It is said that Dai Ze felt dizzy as soon as he entered the Imperial Academy. Gu Changbo didn't believe it at first and beat him several times. However, he vomited as soon as he entered the Imperial Academy. Then Meng Jijiu kicked them out together."
Xin You was speechless for a moment.
"Cousin, don't think that Meng Jijiu is looking down on Dai Ze because he is like this. Although Dai Ze is just from the uncle's house, the Guchang uncle's house is the ancestral home of Prince Qing..."
Xin You listened carefully and got a few pieces of information. First, Zhang Xu, who was studying in the Imperial College, interacted with Dai Zechang. Second, neither of them liked to study, but they loved reading casual books such as stories and novels. Third, Meng Jijiu dared to He is a clean figure who keeps Chang Bo's face.
Xin You also made another discovery. With the convenience of studying in the Imperial College, the cheerful Duan Yunlang knew 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 very much, cousin. Will cousin come back with me for dinner?"
"No, the sale of new books is suddenly changed to today. I will still stay here to guard it. My cousin will tell my grandmother for me."
Duan Yunlang agreed immediately and was surprised when he walked out of the bookstore: "Cousin, there are many people in front of the notice!"
Xin You curled her lips and smiled.
The saying that it is better to choose a day than to hit it is not an empty talk. There is a group of supervisors making trouble, how could it not arouse people's curiosity.
Curiosity is the best publicity.
At Yaxin Bookstore opposite, shopkeeper Gu looked at the people rushing to Qingsong Bookstore, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
This Qingsong Bookstore is so shameless, why did it suddenly release a new book!
"Shopkeeper, what should we do?" the clerk asked with a grimace.
"What else can we do? Ask the book printing house to send the book over quickly. We will also sell new books!"
