For nearly half an hour, no more than twenty customers entered the paper shop, and no more than five came out carrying paper.

Yan Ruyu got out of the car knowing what she was doing.

The abbot walked in front, and as soon as he climbed the steps, the drama queen began to get up.

"Master and Madam, please go slowly," he smiled and raised the curtain.

Yan Ruyu walked into the store with a smile on her face.

This small shop is not big, but it is well decorated. As the abbot said before, although there are many types of paper sold here, they are all high-end. Each type is placed on a specially built small display cabinet with different displays. The shape comes.

There is no other incense in this room, these paper incense alone are enough to make people intoxicated.

Yan Ruyu thought that it would be a good idea to let Huo Changxu's store have another counter like this.

His mind wandered a little, and the boy who was cleaning with a feather duster hurried forward.

"Sir, what kind of paper do you want?"

The abbot said: "This is my husband and wife. They are both literati who love calligraphy and painting. I heard that the paper you have here is good, so I came here to have a look. What kinds of paper are there? Please introduce them."

The young boy saw Yan Ruyu's dress, luxurious clothes and outstanding manners. Although she couldn't see her face because of the curtain hat, it was enough to show that she was a noble person.

Next to her, Huo Changhe was as tall and tall as a pine tree, wearing a brocade robe and a large cloak, both of which were worth a hundred gold.

The little boy didn't dare to neglect, secretly happy that a big customer came today, and quickly started to introduce him.

"Guest, look at this one. It smells like osmanthus. It's the golden osmanthus picked during the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

Yan Ruyu shook Huo Changhe's hand: "Husband, listen first, I'll take a stroll at my leisure."

"it is good."

Yan Ruyu was strolling around in other places. If she stopped to look or sniff, the young man would introduce her to Huo Changhe and he would not be able to take her into consideration.

As soon as Yan Ruyu walked around casually, she could basically conclude that the customers faced by this store were not ordinary people.

Not to mention an ordinary scholar, even the former Huo Changxu, the young master of the Sima family, I am afraid that the paper in this shop cannot be bought in unlimited quantities.

It's not that I can't afford it, but it's not necessary.

Unless there is something important that needs to be written on special paper, or some invitations, it is possible to make some expensive signatures, or it is a wedding, a betrothal, a wedding letter, a betrothal gift, etc.

Ordinarily, these papers should be stored in ordinary paper shops, and people would come to sell them, rather than doing business alone.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

No matter what kind of monster Yan Ruyu is, she must catch the monster today.

While I was watching, someone from behind opened the curtain, and a young boy and a middle-aged man came out together.

Yan Ruyu glanced at the abbot, who came over, nodded slightly, and whispered: "These are the shopkeeper and another boy."

There are only three people in this shop, and the abbot has listened.

When the new boy saw that there was no one in front of Yan Ruyu, he quickly came over to say hello with a smile.

"Madam, are you satisfied?"

Yan Ruyu glanced down. The boy was wearing cotton boots. There was still snow at the bottom of the toes of the boots, and there was slightly brown mud on the edges.

Are you going out of town?

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "These papers are all good, but I want a special one. I wonder if you can make it?"

"Yes, yes," the little guy nodded, "We can do anything, as long as you tell us the conditions, it's okay."

Yan Ruyu pondered for a moment: "I'm not just talking casually. I want to see if the paper can be made well. I have to see what tools you use to make paper. I have my own way of making paper, but it's just because it's too troublesome and I don't want to do it, so I want to find someone to do it." Do."

The little guy didn't doubt anything else and said with a smile: "Okay, our tools are in the backyard. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Yan Ruyu glanced at the abbot, who immediately said: "I will accompany my wife."

Huo Changhe glanced here, Yan Ruyu nodded and followed the boy to the backyard.

The backyard is clean and spacious, with bluestone floor tiles and swept clean. There is no residual snow or mud.

The abbot walked beside Yan Ruyu, and the boy led the way.

The boy pointed to the west wing and said, "This is it. Madam, please take a look."

The door of the side room was opened, and there were some tools in the room. The boy didn't go in anymore. Yan Ruyu didn't understand this at all.

"Who makes the paper? Where is the paper maker?"

The boy stood at the door and said, "Madam, don't worry, the paper makers are all old masters. Today, a family also wants to make paper and make something special for the young master's wedding. They invited the master to come and have a look."

Yan Ruyu stepped into the house. The boy didn't expect that she would enter the house again. He was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.

The abbot also came in and closed the door behind his back.

There's something wrong with this.

Yan Ruyu raised her hand and wiped it on one of the tools. There was a light dust on her fingertips.

"How long has it been since your master made paper?"

Her voice was teasing, and the boy turned around to walk out, but the abbot blocked the door.

"Isn't Madam here to make paper?"

Yan Ruyu sneered: "You are not paper makers either. Who are you?"

The boy gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean, madam? This shop is for making and selling paper. If madam doesn't believe us, you can leave."

The abbot raised his eyebrows: "Speak politely to me!"

The boy laughed angrily: "I'm not polite? You two, since you came in, how can I be rude? You are here to find fault, and you still don't trust the store. Who can do anything? If you don't really buy paper, please go out. Bar."

"A guy has a tough tone," Yan Ruyu said calmly, "Since you think we're rude, fine, then you won't be rude to the end."

In the store, Huo Changhe counted the time.

After about a quarter of an hour, he frowned and said, "Why doesn't my wife come out yet?"

The shopkeeper also felt that the time was a little long, so he motioned to the boy: "Go and have a look."

Huo Changhe said: "No need, I will look for it myself."

"Sir, just wait here and let the guy go..."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Huo Changhe interrupted displeasedly: "My wife has been gone for so long, can I wait with peace of mind? Who knows if you are a black shop? In this case, you can go with me."

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly: "What did you say, guest? The shop is a serious businessman, how could it be a black shop?"

Huo Changhe ignored him and strode towards the backyard. The shopkeeper quickly followed.

The yard was deserted.

Huo Changhe said angrily: "Where are the people?"

The shopkeeper didn't know why, why was the person missing?

At this time, there was movement in the side room, and the shopkeeper hurried over, while Huo Changhe deliberately stayed one step behind.

As soon as the shopkeeper opened the door, Huo Changhe kicked him in from behind, then followed and closed the door.

The shopkeeper was kicked so hard that he almost fell down. Before he could even scream, he looked up and saw the scene in front of him, with a look of shock on his face.

The young man was tied to a chair and his mouth was gagged. Yan Ruyu was standing aside. The abbot held a dagger in his hand and pressed it against the side of the young man's neck.

The shopkeeper stood up reluctantly, barely able to squeeze out a smile: "What...what does this mean? If you have something to say, I don't know what you want. Money or things, everything is easy to talk about."

The abbot snorted coldly: "Do you think we are being robbed?"

Huo Changhe said from behind him: "We have plenty of money and materials. We don't need you. I just want to ask you one thing."

"You say."
