On the wedding night, I was read by the cold prince

Chapter 39

The palace was extremely quiet in the early morning, and not many people were seen.

Qiao Lege came to the secret road smoothly all the way.She gently pushed aside the clump of weeds and climbed in skillfully.

After a quarter of an hour,

An old woman holding a dark wooden box appeared at the end of Xiyong Lane. She skillfully knocked on the door in front of her.

Twice slow and twice fast.

After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind the door.

Immediately after that, there was a click, and a middle-aged man in a gray gown poked his head out from inside.

He first looked behind the old man to confirm that there were no extra people, and then opened the door.

"The old man has come, come, come, come in quickly, our shopkeeper's heart can finally be relieved."

The old woman nodded slightly, without opening her mouth, and just walked towards the inner courtyard on her own.

From the side, the middle-aged man picked up the sign that had been prepared a long time ago. There were four huge words on it - closed for business.

He had just placed the sign at the gate when a childish voice sounded behind him: "Is your pawn shop closed today?"

There was a moment of hesitation in the man's movements, and then he changed into the standard expression when welcoming guests, and opened his mouth with a smile,
"That's right, because a master said that we have to suspend business on the fifth day of every month, so as to ensure that the business can continue for a long time, so if children want to come, remember to avoid this day."

"Oh", the child nodded understandingly, licked the candied haws in his hand and walked towards the door.

On this day, a young heart was planted with great doubts: "Closing the door can still guarantee a prosperous business."

On the other side, the old woman walked to the inner courtyard with ease, her figure had just appeared,
Shopkeeper Li seemed to have discovered a rare treasure, his eyes sparkled, and he immediately ran forward, trying to support the old lady.

However, the outstretched hand was dodged by a move from the visitor. Shopkeeper Li didn't care about this, and withdrew his hand angrily, "Look at my brain, I forgot that old people don't like to have physical contact with others. Be careful next time." .”

The old lady just nodded and did not speak, she took out the wooden box from her arms and handed it to shopkeeper Li.

The latter smiled instantly, and punched the wooden box with a trembling right hand, which contained exactly what he wanted.

He took out the long string of small picture scrolls, spread them out lightly, and looked at them carefully.

The old lady, Qiao Lege, just stood beside the waiter quietly, but her eyes were locked on Shopkeeper Li's face, not wanting to make every change in his expression.

Surprised, stunned, puzzled, pondered... finally turned into surprise.

Seeing Shopkeeper Li's almost unconcealable smile, Qiao Lege was truly relieved.

It seems that the money can be secured this time.

Shopkeeper Li sorted out the words in his mind, and then said softly: "The old man added more plot lines to the content this time. Although the prohibited content is less, it is more attractive in my opinion. ,
However, some places can be modified and modified, and it should be able to buy a better price. "

As he spoke, he expressed his analysis on some of the content on the scroll.

Qiao Lege nodded, and put the painting scroll on the table that shopkeeper Li had prepared long ago, which contained the brushes she needed,

Qiao Lege was working hard, while shopkeeper Li stood aside and watched contentedly.

When Qiao Lege put down his pen, he immediately called the people below to start taking action.

"Hurry up, after copying, immediately put this latest Huajian Secret Affair into a porcelain vase, and send it to the nobles in the palace as soon as possible."

When Qiao Lege, who was counting money, heard these two words, his DNA moved.

"In the palace?" She wrote these two words on the blank drawing paper with a brush.

Shopkeeper Li nodded and began to explain patiently.

It turned out that there was a father-in-law in the palace who used the excuse to buy a porcelain vase and took the opportunity to ask for the latest volume of The Secret of Huajian. Only then did he know that there were people in the palace who wanted to read this forbidden book.

Shopkeeper Li originally didn't want to sell it, but that person gave too much, and he was willing to pay twenty times the price for the first draft.

This is what happened just now.

While the two were talking, the middle-aged man who opened the door came forward with a large wooden box,

Shopkeeper Li opened the box, and said sincerely to Qiao Lege, "Come on, old man, take this, and go home to stew chicken."

Qiao Lege: "."

500-year-old ginseng, she was afraid that if she ate it, she would lose half her life.

Seeing her hesitation, shopkeeper Li thought it was embarrassing to accept it, and persuaded again: "It's okay, the old man has cooperated with us for so long, this is a small gift.

Besides, the 500-year-old ginseng is a good thing for prolonging life, you must accept it for the elderly. If you are really embarrassed, please submit two manuscripts next month. "

"..." It's exposed, you just want me to live longer and draw more.

Salted fish don't want to move too much!

Qiao Lege immediately picked up a pen and wrote on the white paper: "I can accept things, one manuscript a month! Unless you want to exhaust me to death!"

Shopkeeper Li laughed heartily, and handed the ginseng to Qiao Lege's hand: "Okay, okay! The old man is willing to accept it!"

Qiao Lege walked outside with the full purse and the ginseng
Shopkeeper Li stood on the steps and watched her leave. He didn't look away until the figure disappeared completely.

"Shopkeeper, this old man who can't speak is unknown, again..."

Shopkeeper Li interrupted what the person behind him was going to say next: "So what, no matter who she is outside, she has only one identity here--the first partner is the person I will protect at all costs.

With her here, you can make money! "

"By the way, remember to send a copied version of The Secret of Huajian to my room."

　Come, come, the hero and the old man are about to make their debut.
