Autumn is getting stronger, and the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the streets are at the right time, filling the wind with their delicate fragrance.

Qing Machi opened the curtain, a pair of jade-like hands rested on her sleeves, and as the hem of her skirt floated away, You Tingrong slowly stood in front of the steps of Qianyi's study.

In the morning, when the bookstore was busy with business, Aomachi led the coachman to drive the carriage to a side alley and stopped, and You Tingrong entered Le Study alone.

There were many scholars and girls coming and going in the study, each making their own choices and discussing. The shopkeeper who collected the money was very busy.

The people of Dashuo Dynasty were cheerful, and there were many women studying, and women were allowed to start their own businesses and enjoy assets, which also made private commerce prosperous and the national treasury abundant.

The You family only regarded their daughter as a tool to build relationships and gain power, and did not care about educating their daughter in poetry and books. You Tingrong was already considered obedient, and he only read enlightenment books briefly, and learned more about female workers.

Piano music.

You Tingrong also entered the palace, suffered this hardship, and worked hard on learning in order to educate his son.

The clerk at the bookstore stepped forward with a discerning eye and asked, "What book is Miss looking for?"

You Tingrong whispered: "Looking for a game score, it's called "Shishi Xianji"." This is a collective chess book that collects the secrets of Go from various dynasties, the overall score, various openings, and life and death chess positions.

More importantly, there are many endgame collections with mixed flaws, which can be considered a book that only intermediate experts will read. Ordinary people will not know about such an unconventional book.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the clerk thought about it, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "It's unlucky for you to come here. Someone happened to buy our last copy."

"Originally, I didn't know about this book at all. It happened that a young man was looking for this book, and our young master personally dug it out from the high shelf!" the waiter said, his eyes wandering around the store.

Pointing to a man in dark blue clothes not far away, "This young man bought it. Why don't you discuss it with him and make a copy?"

Hearing the voice, the man turned around, and it turned out to be Chi Qinglang.

Chi Qinglang was also obviously surprised. You Tingrong looked very different today. Her makeup added a bit of charm to her, and her pair of sleeping phoenix eyes with fluttering long eyelashes were like hooks.

Chi Qinglang quickly realized his gaffe and quickly moved his eyes away, but the person came closer.

"Miss You."

You Tingrong naturally couldn't avoid it anymore, so he bowed slightly and saluted, "Good morning, Mr. Chi."

Chi Qinglang's joy was slightly stagnant and his expression was gentle, "This is not an official office. Miss, you don't need to be strict with etiquette."

"What's more, the lady and I are also chess friends."

Chi Qinglang smiled and raised the book in his hand. Unexpectedly, the book had been kept in a high cabinet for a long time, and a lot of dust accumulated in the gaps between the bound pages, which was scattered with his movements.

You Tingrong choked and coughed twice.

"I'm offended!" Chi Qinglang raised his sleeves and waved twice gently to sweep away the talisman dust in the air, with a hint of apology on his face.

You Tingrong was amused. She covered her mouth and chuckled twice, "Now that we have found the book, let's go away first."

Chi Qinglang nodded in agreement, and the elegant gentleman with tall and long legs followed You Tingrong and separated her from the noisy crowd with great grace.

You Tingrong stood still in front of the counter and casually looked at Xue Shanli who was standing at the counter. He had a fair and delicate appearance, a pair of slightly upward phoenix eyes showing thin eyelid folds at the end of the eyes, and a grin revealing pointed tiger teeth.

He looks smart and cunning.

At this time, Xue Shanli was calculating his calculations quickly, so fast that he almost turned into an afterimage. He seemed to be familiar with Chi Qinglang, and casually greeted him: "Take it if you like it. Why are you so dumb today?"

To pay the bill?"

Chi Qinglang glanced at You Tingrong without leaving any trace, and explained: "In the past, I didn't get it for nothing. The housekeeper always settled the bill with you on a monthly basis. What you said seems like I took advantage."

Xue Shanli was quick-thinking. He looked at You Tingrong with a smile and said, "Yes! Mr. Chi has a rich family and is knowledgeable. He is a rare and handsome man in the world!"

Chi Qinglang narrowed his eyes and slapped the book money on the counter with a warning.

"There are many people here, let's go out and talk." After You Tingrong nodded, Chi Qinglang walked in front to leave a path for her to lead people out, and the discomfort he felt just now was well covered up.

When she crossed the threshold, You Tingrong lowered her head slightly and paid attention to her feet. When she picked up the hem of her skirt, she accidentally dropped the veil, and then she was about to bend down to pick it up. A pair of hands with sharp joints picked it up first, shaking gently.

Falling dust.

You Tingrong raised her eyes and looked over. Chi Qinglang neatly folded the handkerchief and handed it to her, "Miss Chi."

You Tingrong reached out and was about to take it when a familiar female voice sounded from the roadside.

"Miss!"

You Tingrong looked around and saw that it was Liu'er, the maid of the third concubine.

Liu Er ran over in two or two steps, with an anxious look on her face and a loud voice, "Miss, how could you sneak out and have a private meeting with someone?!"

The sudden sound caused everyone around to look over.

A dark light flashed in Chi Qinglang's eyes. He glanced at the handkerchief in his hand and took a step forward to explain: "The girl misunderstood. I just picked up this lady's handkerchief."

Liu'er couldn't allow him to tell the difference, and shouted loudly: "I can see clearly that you and the eldest lady are hooking up..."

Chi Qinglang's eyes were stern, and his tone became stern, "Ms. You and my sister have a long history of friendship. They happened to meet each other and exchanged a few words. Don't talk nonsense, girl!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Liu Er said arrogantly, "Our young lady never leaves the house and never steps forward. How have we ever had any friendship with your family?"

There was frost in You Tingrong's eyes. Since Third Yiniang ran into it by herself, she couldn't be blamed.

Taking advantage of the victory, Liu Er opened her voice and said, "In front of the public, you unmarried men and unmarried women came to the study for a private meeting? If you have a sweetheart, you should have communicated with your family in advance. How can you be so willful? I'm looking for you, aunt."

I can’t see you are so anxious!”

"Bold! How can the universe allow you, a lowly servant, to stir up trouble!" Chi Qinglang shouted sternly: "Do you know what it is to slander the master!?"

Seeing Chi Qinglang speaking so urgently and harshly, Liu'er was a little frightened for a moment.

You Tingrong also walked out from behind Chi Qinglang, "Liu'er, if you enter the Yamen, I'm afraid Third Yiniang won't be able to protect you."

Liu Er's eyes dodge, and she insists on saying: "I'm not the one who messed up the etiquette and rules, what should I be afraid of?!"

While several people were in a stalemate, two more people got off the carriage across the street, and the third aunt's voice could be heard faintly.

"Master, it was my fault that the young lady disappeared without a trace. If you want to blame me, blame me..."

"What's the use of blaming you? It's important to find someone first."

…

Liu'er listened to the sound and found the backbone, and quickly shouted: "Master! Third aunt! I have found the eldest lady!"

Third Yi Niang supported You Guitai and hurried over. Liu Er quickly ran to Third Yi Niang and shouted in front of You Guitai: "Third Yi Niang, the eldest lady is actually having a private meeting with someone without telling the family!"
