Chapter 66 Yuelai

Compared to the little boy's disbelief, Xin You was much calmer. After all, she had never experienced Mr. He's long-term reading.

"Then put some new ones on the table." Xin You said and walked out.

Liu Zhou blinked and couldn't help but run to shopkeeper Hu and murmured: "Shopkeeper, why are you so calm about my boss's troubles? Master He bought so many books in one go, and she's not surprised at all."

Shopkeeper Hu said happily: "I think you are free, go to work!"

As expected, the owner brings wealth. As soon as he took over the bookstore, he discovered that not only Mr. Songling, but also Mr. He had spent a lot of money buying books. With the owner here, why worry about the business of the bookstore not being prosperous?

Everything was going well at the bookstore, but not so smoothly for Xin You. She ran to two Yuelai restaurants but couldn't find that one, so she had to ask passers-by again.

The fourth Yuelai Restaurant is coincidentally located near Taipu Temple.

Standing on the roadside outside the restaurant, Xin You turned around and looked up and saw a teahouse.

The teahouse is divided into two floors. The upper floor is arranged as elegant rooms, and several elegant rooms have windows facing the street.

Xin You compared it carefully and deduced that the elegant room in the picture was the second or third room.

It doesn't really matter which restaurant it is. For her, it's enough to find the teahouse where He Qingxiao's accident happened.

Judging from the position of the sun in the picture, it should be noon.

Will it be today?

Xinyou raised her head slightly and looked at the sun hanging in the sky.

The scorching sun in early autumn was still powerful, so she quickly looked away and closed her eyes.

A voice came from behind: "Qingqing?"

Xin You turned around and saw three or four middle-aged men in robes walking towards her. One of them was Kou Qingqing's uncle Duan Shaoqing.

Duan Shaoqing was very impatient to talk to this increasingly eccentric niece, but when they met in this place at this time, it was impossible to pretend not to see her.

Seeing Xin You's face, Duan Shaoqing confirmed that he had recognized the right person, frowned and asked: "Why are you here?"

Xin You actually met Duan Shaoqing unexpectedly, but she suppressed the surprise in her heart and blinked with an expression of surprise and grievance.

"Uncle, I was going to the Yamen to look for you, but unexpectedly I met you!"

Duan Shaoqing frowned even more: "What do you want to do with uncle?"

The three people with Duan Shaoqing already showed curious eyes.

Xin You pursed her lips: "I have no money."

Duan Shaoqing:!

How could this girl say so bluntly that she had no money!

Xin You didn't care how much impact these words had on Duan Shaoqing, and continued: "I didn't expect that running a bookstore would cost so much, and the money would be like water -"

Duan Shaoqing's face heated up with embarrassment, and he quickly stopped Xin You from continuing: "Let's talk about family matters during dinner."

Xin You cooperated and kept her mouth shut.

Duan Shaoqing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hands to his three colleagues: "My niece came to see me. I will take her to have a casual meal, so I won't be with you."

The three of them smiled and returned the greeting: "Brother Duan, take care of yourself."

Duan Shaoqing saw the flames of gossip in the eyes of his three colleagues, so he had no intention of eating at Yuelai Restaurant and walked towards the teahouse opposite.

He actually took her to this teahouse...

Xin You's heart moved, and she suddenly had an intuition: He Qingxiao might be in trouble today.

Different from the hustle and bustle of wine shops, the teahouse is quiet and elegant, with the sound of silk and bamboo constantly heard.

The private room upstairs was fully booked, so Duan Shaoqing had no choice but to take Xin You to sit in a corner of the lobby, trying not to attract attention.

The waiter brought tea and snacks. When the waiter left, Duan Shaoqing lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you short of money again? Didn't your grandmother just give you two thousand taels?"

"My uncle didn't know that Qingsong Bookstore had been in deficit for so long that it owed the craftsmen a lot of unpaid wages. Part of the money received from my grandmother was used to pay wages, and part of it was used for the operation of the bookstore. It was all spent in one fell swoop...

"

Duan Shaoqing frowned and said: "Uncle, I heard that the "Painted Skin" published by Qingsong Bookstore is very popular, and it should make a lot of progress."

Xin You did not deny: "It's quite a lot, but I also bought the lower part of "Painted Skin" from Mr. Song Ling. I also need to invest a lot in stereotype printing. There are also some books that have sold well that I want to reprint, and I have to look for suitable new books.

Seal...this will make money difficult to come by."

Looking at his niece's pitiful appearance, Duan Shaoqing took a deep breath.

He suspected that this girl just wanted to ask for money, but there was no flaw in her words.

"Even if money is tight, go back and tell your grandmother that you, a little girl, came to the Yamen to ask for money from your uncle. It will make people laugh if you see her." Duan Shaoqing decided to kick the ball to his old mother.

He is a face-saving person, and if his niece comes to him to ask for money, what will it look like if word spreads about it?

Now that we have met by fate, Xin You is not ready to let Duan Shaoqing kick the ball away: "Uncle also said that I just paid two thousand taels from my grandmother. Qingqing is also a face-saving person, so she has the nerve to ask her grandmother for money.

I thought that my uncle really loved me, so I came to see you."

Speaking of this, she took a sip of tea.

The tea tastes sweet and is worthy of the elegance of the tea house.

"Qingqing is thinking about it, and he doesn't need two thousand taels. One thousand taels should be enough."

Duan Shaoqing's temples twitched, but fortunately there was no one else around, allowing him to say what he was prevaricating: "Qingqing, the salary of our officials in Daxia is not high. One thousand taels is my uncle's salary for several years. You come to see my uncle, but he has no salary."

Find a way."

Xin You smiled: "Uncle misunderstood. I wanted to ask my uncle to help me talk to my grandma, and the payment was the money my grandma kept for me. Oh, there is no rush today, I will come to my uncle to get it tomorrow."

When Duan Shaoqing heard that he would come back tomorrow, his face suddenly darkened. He looked into those smiling eyes and said, holding back his anger: "You are a girl, don't run around. When I go back to the office today, my uncle will tell your grandmother to send someone to you."

Just send it over."

"Thank you uncle."

Duan Shaoqing was afraid that this hole would never end in the future, and his tone was warning: "Only this time. Qingqing, it's true that your parents left you that money, but you are still young. If you mess it up now, you will be in trouble in the future."

What should I do? That’s why your mother had to entrust your grandmother to take care of her..."

Xin You listened to Duan Shaoqing's long speech without changing her expression. When he finished, she nodded obediently: "Qingqing understands."

Suddenly the tea room fell silent, and Xin You's voice was obviously low-pitched, but suddenly it seemed abrupt.

Then, the waiter called out: "Sir, please come in."

He Qingxiao turned his eyes to where the familiar voice came from and caught Xin You's gaze.

He was a little surprised when he saw that the person sitting opposite Xin You was Duan Shaoqing. He put aside his surprise and nodded gently to her.

Xin You nodded in response and watched as He Qingxiao led two of his men up the stairs under the guidance of the waiter.

It looks like today is the day.

Duan Shaoqing's heart sank when he saw his niece staring at the stairs.

Could this girl be interested in Changle Hou?
