In a short while.
Young Master Liu, Master Liu Song and his servant walked out of the harem talking and laughing.
Young Master Liu spread his arms and stretched his body before walking straight towards the Ten Kings Palace.
"Master, why don't we leave the palace?"
"Before leaving the palace, let's go to the Ten Kings Palace to see if Yiyi, Feifei, Chengzhi, Yue'er and the rest of the brothers and sisters are slacking off."
"Okay."
Young Master Liu came all the way outside the Ten Kings Palace, hid his body behind the palace door, and looked into the main hall.
Seeing Liu Feifei, Liu Chengfeng, Xiao Kaitai, Li Tao and their brothers and sisters in the hall, each holding a cup of steaming tea and chatting and laughing, Young Master Liu chuckled and shook his head.
"These little brats are living a pretty comfortable life."
"Hehehe, it should be that the documents from the cabinet haven't been sent over yet."
"Nine times out of ten that's the case."
"Master, shall we go in?"
"No need, just leave the palace directly.
Master, I still have a few trivial matters to deal with today, I'm afraid I'm too busy."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Liu Mingzhi tightened his cloak and waved to Liu Song.
"Let's go."
"coming."
Outside the palace gate.
When a group of Forbidden Army officers saw Young Master Liu coming out of the palace, they immediately saluted.
"We see your Majesty."
"All officers and men are exempt from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Continue to be on duty, I will go back first."
"We send you your Majesty's greetings. Long live our Emperor."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly, waved his hand, and walked forward slowly.
After Liu Song put the baggage and documents in his hands into the carriage of the carriage, he took the horse's rein and walked straight towards Young Master Liu.
"Master, should we go back home directly, or go to other places?"
Liu Mingzhi rubbed his hands vigorously, smiled and breathed hot air into his palms.
"If you don't want to go home, let's go to the prince's old residence first."
Hearing this, Liu Song nodded slightly and reached out to lift the curtain on the carriage.
"Yes, I understand, young master, please get in the car."
Liu Mingzhi waved his hands casually, put his hands in his cuffs, and took the lead in walking towards the long street.
"I won't take the car anymore. The weather is so cold. Master, I will walk by myself to stretch my body."
Liu Song looked at his young master's retreating figure and immediately followed him holding the horse's reins.
"Okay, little one understands."
Although it had just dawned, the streets in the city were already full of people coming and going.
Rushing to the long street of the Prince's old mansion, Mr. Liu walked slowly among the crowd, his eyes scanning the shops on both sides of the street from time to time.
Suddenly, Young Master Liu stopped and fixed his gaze on a shop on the left side of the long street.
"Sifang Study."
Mr. Liu whispered softly to the four characters on the store's plaque, and walked directly towards the store.
Seeing this, Liu Song immediately led the carriage to the hitching post outside the shop.
Liu Mingzhi just stepped into the study. An old man about fifty years old, full of elegant temperament, was sitting on a chair and reading a book.
As if hearing the footsteps of Young Master Liu, the old man subconsciously looked up.
When the old man saw Young Master Liu walking into the store, he immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up happily and bowed.
"I've seen you sir, I'm so polite."
Although the old man could tell at a glance that Mr. Liu was younger than him, he still called him sir politely.
Young Master Liu smiled lightly, nodded, and returned the salute directly.
"Brother, you are polite, little brother, you are polite."
"I wonder what books sir are you looking for?"
"Brother, I plan to take a look around at will."
"I understand, I will not disturb you sir anymore, please."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, raised his head and casually looked at the antique furnishings around him, then slowly walked towards the bookshelves on the left.
Upon seeing this, the study owner smiled lightly and returned to his seat to sit down. He picked up his book again and began to read silently.
Liu Mingzhi walked lightly in front of the bookshelf, picking up a book from time to time and browsing briefly.
As long as he saw a book that interested him, Mr. Liu would talk about it.
It took about two sticks of incense.
Young Master Liu moved a large pile of books and walked towards the study manager with a faint smile.
"Brother, let me do the math for you."
The shopkeeper immediately raised his head and looked towards Young Master Liu.
However, when he saw the large pile of thick books in Young Master Liu's hand, his face couldn't help but froze.
Based on his eyesight, he estimated that the pile of books in this guest's hand must be around fifty or sixty at least.
The study owner put down the books in his hands and looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly.
"Sir, I'm going to take the liberty to say that if you buy so many books at once, you won't be able to finish them all in a short time, right?
In my opinion, sir, you might as well buy less today, and then come to my Sifang Study Studio after you finish reading."
After hearing the study owner's suggestion, Young Master Liu put a pile of books on the table with a smile.
"Brother, you don't know something. I have a lot of children in my family. After taking these books back home, each of them won't be able to share many copies."
After hearing Mr. Liu's explanation, the study owner nodded eagerly.
"I see, I'm taking the liberty."
"It's just human nature, so Brother Lao can count the money for me."
"No problem, please wait a moment, sir."
The owner of the study picked up the books and walked to the desk, picked up the books selected by Mr. Liu and started to count them.
"Sir, there are sixty-two books in total. All the books add up to a total of fifteen taels of silver.
You are my first guest today, just give me fifteen taels of silver."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and immediately took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve and placed two broken pieces of silver on the table.
"Okay, thank you very much, brother."
"Sir, walk slowly. We will not send you far."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and returned the gift, then reached out and lifted a large pile of books on the desk.
"Brother, you're welcome. See you soon."
When Liu Song saw Young Master Liu walking out of the study carrying a thick stack of books, he quickly trotted over to greet him.
