Chapter 22 Copybook

Your noble son came down from the second floor. He was wearing a sapphire blue moire floral brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. He had an extraordinary temperament and a graceful demeanor.

Zhao Shuqing's voice attracted his attention, but when he looked at Zhao Shuqing, his eyes were full of strangeness, and he did not recognize who she was.

Your young master turned his eyes and saw Zhao Wangshu standing by the bookshelf, holding a book. The corners of his lips raised slightly. He looked at Zhao Shuqing again and nodded slightly, "Miss Zhao."

Zhao Shuqing asked delicately: "Young master, are you here to buy books too?"

"I bought a few collections of poems. What books did the girl buy?" the noble master asked with a smile.

"I'm here to buy copybooks. I want to practice calligraphy." Zhao Shuqing smiled shyly and lowered his head, looking very docile.

"I won't disturb the girl to choose her copybook." The noble man raised his legs to leave.

"Young master, please wait a moment." Zhao Shuqing finally met him again, and ignored the girl's reserve and asked to stay.

"What else can you do, girl?" Your young master asked gently.

"Young master is a scholar. I am new to calligraphy and I don't know which font to pick and practice well, so I just want to ask you to help me make an idea." Zhao Shuqing's reason for retaining people is very reasonable.

Your young master pondered for a moment and said: "Hairpin small regular script, fly-headed small regular script and plum blossom seal script are all suitable for women to write."

"Thank you for informing me, sir." Zhao Shuqing bowed solemnly and thanked her. .

"You're welcome, miss." The noble master smiled, "Miss, is there anything else?"

"It's okay." Zhao Shuqing wanted to talk to the noble master more. words, but she couldn't find a suitable topic to talk about and left the noble master behind, so she could only watch him leave.

"The person has gone far, don't look anymore." Zhao Jiahua walked up to Zhao Shuqing, who was looking at the door crazily, and gave her a gentle push, "Who is he?"
< br />　"My savior." Zhao Shuqing smiled tenderly with eyes full of love.

"When did it happen? How did he save you?" Zhao Jiahua asked curiously.

Zhao Shuqing smiled and said nothing, walked to the bookshelf where the copybooks were placed, and picked out the copybooks in the three fonts that the noble master mentioned.

"Come and tell me." Zhao Jiahua followed behind her and asked.

Zhao Shuqing was shy and coquettish, but refused to say it clearly, as if she really had something to do with that noble young master. This made Zhao Wangshu, who knew about it, shake his head in amusement.

Zhao Wangshu did not expose her. He took the selected storybook and went to the clerk to buy paper, "Take a knife of mulberry tissue paper."

"Girl, a new batch of plum pattern jade buckle paper has arrived in the store. Would you like to take some with you?" the clerk said.

“It’s a waste of money to practice calligraphy with jade paper. Mulberry cotton paper is good.” Zhao Wangshu is not short of money, but there is no need to be so extravagant. “How much does it cost together?”

"It's a total of sixty-six cents. The girl can just give her sixty-five cents." The boy tied up the script and paper, handed it to Hong Chang, and took the copper plate from her hand.

“I’ve bought it, where are you two?” Zhao Wangshu turned around and asked.

Zhao Jiahua picked up a few story books and walked over, "I have picked them too."

She also bought a knife of mulberry tissue paper, but Zhao Shuqing did not buy a story book. , in addition to copybooks, she also bought two poetry collections, both of which were recently compiled and printed by talented people of this dynasty.

"Give me a knife of mulberry tissue paper, too." The copybook Zhao Shuqing bought was more expensive, and she didn't have enough money to bring with her. She hesitated for a moment, "I'll buy these two collections of poems when I get back next time."

When Zhao Wangshu saw this, he said: "You don't have to wait until I buy it next time. I'll pay you in advance, and you can pay me back the money when you get back."

"Really?" Zhao Shuqing is a A sensitive person, she noticed that Zhao Wangshu had become much colder to her since the Winter Solstice Festival. She did not expect that Zhao Wangshu would still be willing to lend her money.

"Of course." Zhao Wangshu took out the copper plate and paid the bill for her.

Coming out of the bookstore, Zhao Jiahua said: "I'm hungry, how about you?"

"Let's find a restaurant for lunch." Zhao Wangshu was also hungry.

"There is a restaurant in front, let's go there to eat." Zhao Shuqing saw the sign of Sanyuan Building.

“The food at Sanyuanlou is very expensive and I can’t afford it.” Zhao Jiahua quickly informed.

"A large restaurant with five bays and three floors will lose money if the vegetables are sold cheaply." Zhao Wangshu said jokingly.

"Let's go to a small restaurant to eat. I know there is a small restaurant with delicious dishes." Zhao Jiahua took them through the streets and alleys to a small restaurant called Fan Ji.

As soon as you enter the alley, you can smell the strong aroma of meat.

“It’s the smell of braised pork.” Zhao Wangshu smelled it accurately.

"Fan Ji's braised pork tastes great. You can try it later." Zhao Jiahua said with a smile.

"We must try what you recommend." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Fan Ji’s store is not big. It is located deep in the alley. It only deals with neighborhood business. There are no private rooms. It only serves dine-in. There are seven Eight Immortals tables in the fairly spacious hall.

"We are not familiar with it, you order."Zhao Wangshu said.

"Okay, I want a portion of stir-fried vegetables, braised pork, glutinous rice ribs, minced meat fungus, pickled fish, and three bowls of rice. Okay, that's all for now." Zhao Jiahua ordered it as he was familiar with it. vegetable.

The braised pork was served first. It was bright in color. When you bite into it, it was tender and soft, with a rich and juicy taste. It was so delicious that your tongue almost swallowed it.

Several people were having a big meal, and a duck voice came from outside the door, "Here we are, right here."

Fan Ji had another guest, and the wind curtain was lifted Opening, the person who walked in was a young man wearing a bright red brocade robe embroidered with mountains and rivers. He looked a little childish but had a burly figure.

"Brother Wanjun, Brother Yueting, come in quickly." The young man shouted towards the door, eagerly urging those who were traveling with him.

Then, Zhao Wangshu saw Yao Zhen and the noble young man he had just met in the bookstore.

We already know from Yao Shanzhi that Yueting is the name of Yao Zhen, and this Wanjun must be the name of that noble young master.

The two stood at the door, glanced at Zhao Wangshu and the others.

When your young master saw Yao Zhen smiling and nodding at them, and Zhao Wangshu returning the polite smile and nodding, he asked, "Do you know him?"

"Gardenia's Friends." Yao Zhen paused, "The people of the Empress Zhao."

The noble master's eyebrows moved slightly, "You can prepare for a rainy day."

"I want to sit tight. Position cannot be achieved without some means, after all, she is not the only childless concubine." The young man in brocade said bluntly.

"Xiao Zhi, be careful what you say." Yao Zhen said in a deep voice.

"I won't say it any more. The boss is here to take orders. I want to eat your braised pork elbow." The boy in brocade clothes said with a smile.

Fan Ji’s business was good, but the speed of serving food was not slow. Not long after, all the dishes they ordered were served. Just as they were feasting, Zhao Wangshu and the others finished the meal and were about to leave after paying the bill. .

When they passed by a table, one of the guests at that table suddenly fell down. His eyes were wide open, foaming at the mouth, and his limbs were twitching continuously.

Zhao Shuqing was so frightened that she screamed, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

She panicked and backed away, causing Zhao Jiahua pain, which made her also scream, " Ouch!"

"It will kill you! The food is poisonous." The man at the same table as the fallen guest shouted loudly.

The store suddenly became chaotic. Some people ran towards the door, trying to escape the order. Yao Zhen promptly ordered: "Wu Jue, guard the door and don't let anyone out."

Your noble son also said: "An unexpected situation happened in the store., before the official arrival, no one is allowed to leave, otherwise, they will be regarded as murderers. ”

As soon as these words came out, no one in the store dared to move.
