"Miss Kou?" Seeing Xin You's silence, the palace attendant urged.
Xin You calmed down and said apologetically: "The last time I saw Mr. Song Ling, Mr. Song Ling said he was leaving Beijing."
When the palace attendant heard that Mr. Song Ling was not in the capital, he looked at Xin You with a look in his eyes: "The words Mr. Song Ling wrote are sought after by thousands of people and he has gained both fame and wealth. How could he leave the capital?"
Xin You's tone was dull: "I don't know about that. Our bookstore has a cooperative relationship with Mr. Song Ling and we will not interfere with Mr. Song Ling's personal affairs."
The palace attendant had no choice but to go back and report this.
Not seeing Mr. Songling, Prince Qing's mood suddenly dropped a lot.
I still haven't met Mr. Xiaoxiaoshu, so why does everything go wrong when he comes into contact with Miss Kou?
King Qing suppressed his irritation for the time being, and spent the next few days rushing between banquets. Finally, after finishing this busy schedule, he went to Qingsong Bookstore.
At this time, Qingsong Bookstore had just opened. Liu Zhou and Shitou were sorting out the bookshelves. Shopkeeper Hu was sitting leisurely flipping through the books. When he saw Prince Qing coming in, he jumped up.
"Xiaomin——"
Prince Qing waved his hand to stop Shopkeeper Hu from saluting: "Is Miss Kou here?"
Today he was wearing a brocade robe that did not reveal his identity, looking careless.
Shopkeeper Hu didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent Shi Shi to the back to invite Xin You.
"The daughter of the people has met His Highness Prince Qing."
At this time, no guests came to the door. Prince Qing looked at the library filled with books and asked, "Miss Kou, can you take Xiao Wang to the printing shop?"
"There are so many people in the printing shop. If His Highness Prince Qing is frightened, the daughter of the people will die."
Prince Qing's face turned cold: "Xiao Wang is not from Zhihu. It's okay to go to the Dingbei disaster area. What else can I do if I go to a book printing shop?"
Xin You's eyebrows moved slightly.
There was nothing wrong with taking Prince Qing to see the printing house. She just declined, which was also a test.
As expected, King Qing came with bad intentions.
"Then, His Highness Prince Qing, come with the daughter of the people." Xin You bowed and led the way.
King Qing followed with two guards.
The printing shop of Qingsong Bookstore is much bigger than King Qing expected, and there are many people working there even in the early morning.
These craftsmen greeted Xinyou one after another and looked at King Qing curiously.
Prince Qing frowned.
He came here for Mr. Songling and was not really interested in printing books.
After walking around, Prince Qing stopped and said, "Xiao Wang wanted to meet Mr. Songling a few days ago, but unfortunately it happened. I came here today to ask Miss Kou where Mr. Songling has been and when he will return to Beijing."
"Folk women don't know..." Xin You said the same thing.
Prince Qing sneered: "Miss Kou, don't you think this king is a three-year-old child?"
Xinyou looked puzzled.
Prince Qing pointed out: "Your bookstore is so prosperous because of the books written by Mr. Song Ling. Then "Journey to the West" clearly has ten or eight volumes left to be published. How can you easily let Mr. Song Ling go?"
Faced with the question from King Qing, Xin You was very calm: "The shop is indeed indispensable for Mr. Songling's new book. Fortunately, Mr. Songling was considerate and gave all the follow-up manuscripts of "Journey to the West" to Minnu before leaving."
Prince Qing was stunned: "You mean, the entire manuscript of "Journey to the West"?"
"Yes, there are eight more volumes to follow. The store plans to release one volume every one or two months, so you don't have to worry about new books within two years."
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
After hesitating for a moment, he bent his knees and lowered his head: "Yes."
Prince Qing watched the maid named Xiaolian walk away quickly, his eyes darkened.
This manuscript would be very important to a bookstore if it had not yet been sold. When he made this request, he was already prepared to be rejected.
Only when you are rejected can you use the topic to your advantage.
But Miss Kou actually agreed without even hesitating, preventing him from having an attack.
Thinking about the same situation when he came to Qingsong Bookstore for the first time, Prince Qing took a deep look at Xin You.
This girl is really flexible, smooth and shrewd, and she doesn't look like a teenage girl at all.
"Girl, the manuscript is here." Not long after, Xiaolian returned holding a box.
Xin You took it and said, "Your Highness Prince Qing, this is the manuscript of Journey to the West."
A guard stepped forward to take the box and opened it, only to see a stack of manuscripts stacked inside. Another guard picked up the manuscript and checked it before bringing it to King Qing.
Xin You watched calmly, reminding herself again not to be impatient when dealing with Prince Shang Qing.
This Prince Qing seemed to be simple and obedient, but in fact he cherished his life very much.
Prince Qing did not answer it. He glanced at the manuscript and smiled: "Mr. Songling's calligraphy is good and he must be a free and easy-going person. It's a pity that we didn't get to meet him."
Xin You smiled: "Mr. Songling said he would come back, and His Highness Prince Qing will definitely be able to see him."
"I'm bothering Miss Kou today." Unable to find fault, Prince Qing was too lazy to stay any longer and left with Shi Shiran's manuscript.
When the carriages and horses of Prince Qing and his entourage were completely missing, Xiaolian was worried: "Girl, those manuscripts fall into Prince Qing's hands, what if they are exposed?"
Let other bookstores get it, but it will be a wedding dress for others, and Qingsong Bookstore will suffer heavy losses.
Xinyou lowered his eyes and stared at the ground.
Grass sprouted from the gaps between the green bricks. It was soft and slender, the color of early spring.
"If you really want to show it, just show it. It doesn't matter."
Xiaolian was very unwilling: "But——"
"We are not short of money, there is no need to offend the prince for this." After Xin You finished speaking, she turned around and walked inside.
Xiaolian bit her lip and followed silently.
The girl was right, but when she thought about the hard work she put into writing books and running the bookstore, she was really unconvinced.
Your majestic prince, why are you like this!
When Xinyou returned to the east courtyard, she entered the study and came out after a long time.
After King Qing returned, he read the manuscript and became obsessed with it.
He doesn't like Miss Kou, but "Journey to the West" is really good.
King Qing stayed up for two nights and finally finished reading it.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Dai Ze, who came to play with Prince Qing, asked in shock.
"I——" Prince Qing paused, looked at his curious cousin, and got an idea.
If the unpublished manuscript of "Journey to the West" is leaked, it will be a devastating blow to Qingsong Bookstore, and it will also bring out the bad breath he had at his aunt's birthday party.
However, if the manuscript is leaked from Prince Qing's Mansion, it will not be good for anyone to mention it in the future. But Dai Ze was different. His cousin was lawless and it was not unusual for him to do anything.
Dai Ze knew that he would definitely ask for the manuscript of "Journey to the West" here, and since this guy couldn't keep a secret, it was only natural that it would be spread out after he left.
Prince Qing yawned and looked troubled: "I watched "Journey to the West"."
"That's not enough for a "Journey to the West", it doesn't have many pages."
Prince Qing glanced at Dai Ze: "One book is not many, what if there are ten?"
