Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 21 Book Market Insights
Wang Ying felt that the palace was not as warm as her own home, so she remembered that after coming so many times, she didn't know how many stoves she had brought over to make Kunning Palace warmer.

"What's wrong?" Wang Meilin looked at his father in confusion.

"In a few days, I will ask my wife to bring you some stoves. The stoves are made by Cunde. They are very easy to use. Now they are all installed at home. They are very warm. They are burning wood. There is no need to worry about carbon poisoning. Smoke!" Wang Ying said to Wang Meilin with a smile,

After Wang Meilin heard this, he was also very curious, and he was also very curious about Lin Cunde. Why did he know so much?So he asked: "Father, how come Cunde knows so much?"

"This is the difference between scholars and us. I guess it comes from ancient books. This child has read a lot of books and is a good material for studying!" Wang Ying answered without thinking,

Wang Meilin also smiled a little after hearing this. There are more scholars than ever before. Nowadays, all the ministers in the court are not scholars, but they may not know these things.

"Do you want to retire first?" Wang Ying looked at Wang Meilin and said.

"Okay, just be careful on the road!" Wang Meilin said with a smile and nodded.

After Wang Ying left the palace, snow began to fall in the sky, and it looked very heavy, but Wang Ying was very happy and excited.

When he returned home, before he could sit down, Qin took him to the study.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ying looked at Qin in confusion.

"What's wrong? Don't you tell me about the soap and soap? When did you have such good things at home? How did you get them?" Mrs. Qin asked, staring at Wang Ying. She knew that Wang Ying But for someone who is not good at management, it is impossible for Wang Ying to make such a good thing by herself.

"Hey, can you please tell me first?" Wang Ying said proudly at this moment.

"Of course it's easy to use. I just used one over Chun'er. In addition, I also let the maids use it. They all said it was easy to use and washed clean!" Ms. Qin rolled her eyes and said helplessly, knowing that this would happen. Wang Ying wants to play tricks again, but Mrs. Qin also likes Wang Ying's behavior after being married for so many years.

"Of course, you don't want to see who made it. It was our future second son-in-law who made it. Madam, you don't know. Cunde has a great talent. During this period, if it weren't for Cunde, I don’t know how Lin’er will be bullied. I’m afraid you’ll be worried, so I didn’t tell you. It’s because I asked Cunde for advice that allowed Lin’er to gain a firm foothold in the palace. The two of us , but you have to thank Cunde!" Wang Ying was proud at first, and then said with emotion.

"Ah?" Mrs. Qin was surprised. She didn't know these things.

"Listen to me and tell you in detail. I feel like I'm in a dream now. These things were solved by Cunde like this!" Wang Ying took Qin's hand and sat down, and began to talk to Qin. Something that happened over a period of time.

As Mrs. Qin listened, she couldn't help wiping away tears, worried about her eldest daughter. After hearing what happened, Mrs. Qin became happy after knowing that all those things had been resolved.

"So, from now on, be kinder to Cunde. This kid is good!" Wang Ying said to Qin.

Mrs. Qin was unhappy, glared at Wang Ying and said, "I still need you to teach me? I have been optimistic about this child from the beginning!"

After Wang Ying heard this, she immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, Madam said yes!"

"Same for you. There are only a few people in this child's family, so I don't know how many more to add to him, even two maids to warm the bed!" Ms. Qin complained to Wang Ying.

"Ah?" Wang Ying looked at Mrs. Qin in surprise at this moment, adding a maid to warm the bed. That would not work, as her daughter was not married yet.

"You!" Ms. Qin tapped Wang Ying's head with her finger, and then said: "It's been three years, Master, don't even think about it. Cunde is already sixteen this year, and there is no maid around to serve him. No one knows." Can Nuan Zhire do it? What should I do if I don’t take good care of him and I get sick? You just said that Lin’er rewarded this child with hundreds of acres of land, five shops and two houses. Tell me, how can such a person not take a concubine? This concubine must also be divided. Do you want this concubine to be sent to us from our house, or to buy it himself? "

"What do you mean, madam?" Wang Ying was confused by Mrs. Qin. How could the mother-in-law's family send a concubine to her son-in-law's family?
"Wouldn't it be enough to send one of the two maids beside Chun'er over? Anyway, these two maids are also the maids in the same room as the dowry. It's not the same if they go early and go late. Then I can buy another one for Chun'er. Really, you can't do anything at all!" Mrs. Qin continued to complain to Wang Ying.

"Yes, yes, madam is right. Oh, look at my brain, why can't I turn around?" Upon hearing this, Wang Ying finally understood what madam meant.

"I went to talk to Chun'er tonight. This girl Chun'er also likes Cunde. I heard that Cunde gave me a hairpin and a purse. This girl wears it every day!" Qin said with a smile.

"Well, anyway, relatively speaking, I like Cunde more. This kid is really honest. Although he looks a little unenthusiastic, he is enthusiastic at heart!" Wang Ying sat there, nodded and said with satisfaction.

"It's okay if you like it. I've only met this child once. In a few days, I will take some time to go and see this child. Hey, a child without a father and a mother, no one knows whether he is warm or cold! What did God create? What a sin!" Mrs. Qin also sighed.

"Hey!" Wang Ying also sighed.Lin Cunde was fine. At the moment, he was reading in the study. He had to take part in the imperial examination. He couldn't do it without reading and practicing calligraphy.

Early the next morning, after Lin Cunde paid homage, he went to practice martial arts. After practicing martial arts, he went to wash up and then have breakfast.

After breakfast, Lin Cunde just sat in the study and read. However, after reading all the books at home, Lin Cunde also wanted to go to the book market and pick up a few books.

So I took Da Jia and headed to the book market. The so-called book market is not only a place where books are sold, but also the Four Treasures of the Study, as well as many calligraphy and paintings.

Lin Cunde liked to visit bookstores in his previous life. When he saw a book he liked, he would buy it.

Now at the book market, Lin Cunde was looking everywhere. People dressed like scholars could be seen here at any time. After Lin Cunde entered a bookstore, he began to look for the books he wanted, picked them up and browsed for a while to see if they were helpful. , if it helps, Lin Cunde will let Dajia hold it and settle the bill together later.

While Lin Cunde was reading quietly, he heard noises coming from outside and a woman crying.

Lin Cunde turned his head and looked outside, not caring, and continued to read the books, but the crying became louder and louder. Lin Cunde also handed the books in his hand to Dajia next to him to check out.

He walked towards the door. Standing in the direction of the door, he found that several Jin Yiwei were dragging a man, and there were two other women holding the man, trying to stop the Jin Yiwei from taking the man away.

Lin Cunde didn't know what was going on, so he asked a middle-aged man watching the fun next to him: "What's wrong?"

"Shh~" The middle-aged man immediately raised his index finger at Lin Cunde warily, signaling Lin Cunde not to ask.

"This?" Lin Cunde didn't understand either. Why don't you let him talk?
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Cunde as if he really didn't know, so he could only sigh and said: "Did you see that young woman on the ground? She looks okay, right? She was spotted by a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu family and wanted to take her as a concubine! How good is this woman? Agree? This family has a pretty good family background. They have opened a bookstore here for decades, but the woman’s brother refused to agree. No, Jin Yiwei found a pretext to arrest her and forced her to agree! Hey, this The way of the world!"

"Ah, no one cares about it?" Lin Cunde asked in shock. This was a robbery of a civilian girl, even though the name was changed.

"Who cares? The court is in chaos these days. The officials below are acting arrogant and domineering. Let's not talk about it anymore. Look, has God ever been fair?" the middle-aged man said with a sigh.

In the distance, the imperial guards continued to drag the man, and the man was also struggling.

At this moment, Lin Cunde saw another group of uniformed guards coming from a distance. The leader was the one he knew, Zhu Ji from before.

Lin Cunde then stepped back a little to avoid Zhu Ji's gaze.

Soon Zhu Ji led his people to the group of Jin Yiwei who seemed to be asking something. Finally, Lin Cunde saw Zhu Ji wave his hand, and the Jin Yiwei took the man away and left. So many Jin Yiwei came this time, and the man There is no point in struggling.

Lin Cunde couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.

However, I didn’t think too much about it. Maybe there was something I didn’t know about.

After the man was taken away, Lin Cunde saw the two women sitting on the ground crying and shouting that they were wronged.

Lin Cunde originally thought that Zhu Ji would stop and ask, but he didn't.

"What kind of world is this, eh!" The bookstore manager also sighed from the side.

"Why was that man arrested?" Lin Cunde asked curiously, mainly because he wanted to know if there was really something wrong with this man.

"It is said that he has contacts with a father-in-law in the palace. I don't know the details. I just said that the father-in-law bought a lot of books and the four treasures of the study from him, and gave him money and so on. Hey, you said we are doing business, who will do it? You can buy books, but you can’t ask the customer’s identity before buying a book, right?” the shopkeeper said with a sigh.

"This makes no sense!" When Lin Cunde heard this, he realized that it was impossible for a businessman not to do business. He opened a shop to welcome customers from all over the world. Besides, selling books and the four treasures of the study were not selling forbidden items in the court. Who is going to ask the other party about his identity?
However, I can't help with such a thing. I can wait until I see Wang Zhi and ask him. If I can help, that's okay. It's also a good deed. If I can't help, I can't either. How can there be so much fairness in the world?

Lin Cunde bought the books and was about to go back. It was still snowing in the sky. It had been snowing for almost a whole day. It was still gloomy and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Not long after Lin Cunde left the book market, he turned the corner and came face to face. Then he met Zhu Ji. Lin Cunde looked around and realized that he couldn't avoid it. He hoped Zhu Ji wouldn't remember him.
