The best county magistrate

I wonder, why is this little girl so smart?

The author of The Story of the Stone can be determined just by looking at a book with wet ink!

A few months ago, in order to tidy up the bookstall at the entrance of the Confucian Temple, I racked my brains and wrote some of the Stone Notes silently.

The original intention was to use the Four Great Classics to cultivate the sentiments of the folks.

Unexpectedly, the book became very popular within a few days, and the paper in Qingshui County became more expensive because of the book.

After discovering the business opportunity, he immediately decided to ask Ma Fugui for help, printing and selling it in a bookshop in Shangjing City.

Fortunately, I used the pen name Shiye when writing the book, which saved me a lot of trouble.

Now that Zhao Xue had spoken out, Yang Xuanchen felt a little restless.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for libel!"

Zhao Xue narrowed her peach blossom eyes, staring at Yang Xuanchen with a hint of confusion.

To her, the word "Ten Nights" is full of infinite fantasy and beauty.

In the past few months, every time she closed her eyes, she would imagine the scene of her encounter with Touya in her mind.

He would be a handsome scholar, a bohemian scholar, or a chic and suave poet.

The two of them held a candle and talked at night, talking about all the absurdities of Baoyu and the twelve beauties of Jinling.

I even met him in my dreams several times, which was a shameful thing.

The Yang Xuanchen in front of him was handsome and fair, and his face was even prettier than that of a girl.

Moreover, I heard that his poems were engraved on the stone tablet at the gate of the Imperial College, and he had a vague status as a leader in the literary world of Dayan.

His appearance and literary talent were exactly the same as Toya's in my mind.

At this moment, Zhao Xue's heart trembled, and the confusion in her beautiful eyes dissipated, turning into a dazzling brilliance.

"Touye, you are Touye, I'm sure of that!" Her tone was full of surprise.

Zhinan exclaimed: "What? Is he Touye?"

"That's right! He is Shiye, the Shiye who writes in stone!" Zhao Xue said again.

Zhi Nan covered her mouth and looked at Yang Xuanchen, eyes twitching.

Zhao Xue glanced at Zhinan, and she didn't expect that even her maid was so obsessed with Touye.

It seems that among the ladies who come to the capital, there are probably more people who are addicted to him.

Although Zhao Xue is said to be unruly, willful and unreasonable, she has read poetry and books since she was a child and is extremely interested in the elegance of literature.

She doesn't like heroes like her mother-in-law, but she likes scholars, to be precise, talented and handsome scholars.

And Yang Xuanchen met all her requirements for choosing a mate.

At this moment, she felt that she must not let others know that Yang Xuanchen was Touye.

Otherwise, there will be countless enemies like Zhi Nan.

Zhao Xue pulled Zhinan, who was still looking infatuated, and whispered: "Don't tell anyone about this matter!"

"Since he doesn't dare to write a book using his real name, he must have some scruples."

"We can use this as a threat to get him to let us out earlier."

Zhinan, who had come back to his senses, nodded heavily when he heard this.

So, Zhao Xue looked at Yang Xuanchen again and said with a smile: "Master Yang, oh no, maybe it is more appropriate to call you Shiye."

"All the men of letters in this world hope that their names will be remembered forever, but you chose to remain anonymous."

"Master Yang, you don't have anything to hide, right?"

Her words touched Yang Xuanchen's heart, and he really had something to hide.

He didn't write the book "The Story of the Stone". He was just a copywriter. He didn't expect the book to be so popular.

He doesn't know any poetry or songs either, so he relies entirely on Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

The cultural gathering in Qingzhou has already shown off to Nantianmen. If he makes the matter of his writing public again, it will definitely draw the attention of the world to him.

This is something he doesn't want to see. If he can't keep a low profile in the future, many unexpected things will happen.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuanchen decided to fool Zhao Xue to see if he could get through.

"Young Master Zhao is joking. How can I be a Touye? This book was copied by someone from the Yamen just now..."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xue ignored his words at all. She interrupted Yang Xuanchen, "Haha, do you think this young master is a three-year-old child?"

"You must have some ulterior motive!"

Yang Xuanchen suddenly became angry and cursed secretly. This girl is really hard to deceive. It seems that she has to change her method.

"In this way, the Japanese official will let the three of them out tomorrow!"

"But I have a condition. You can't talk nonsense about what happened today."

"otherwise……"

Zhao Xue's eyes sharpened and her tone was cold, "You have no conditions to negotiate with me. You must let me go, but whether I say it or not is not your decision."

Hey! Yang Xuanchen was so angry that he used chicken feathers as arrows, right?

He slapped his palm on the pillar of the cell, and the heavy sound made Zhinan tremble.

Zhao Xue, on the other hand, looked at him thoughtfully and was not afraid, but the evil smile at the corner of his mouth made Yang Xuanchen feel uncomfortable.

When he was about to speak, Zhao Xue spoke again, "My uncle is a nobleman from a noble family in Linjiang City, Qingzhou. I had agreed to visit him during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"It's already August 17th. I think my uncle is already looking around for my whereabouts."

"If he finds out that I am imprisoned by Mr. Yang..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xue snorted a few times, and her attitude seemed to become arrogant again.

Yang Xuanchen pointed at her and laughed and scolded: "You are such a bitch, you used your identity as a mother to scare me earlier, now you are using your identity as an uncle to suppress me!"

"It's endless, right?"

Hearing his anxious and slightly annoyed tone, Zhao Xue smiled, and smiled very happily.

She knew that Yang Xuanchen was already showing signs of surrendering, and now he was just fighting for his words.

"Whatever you think, my identity is not simple. If I tell you, I might scare you to death, so don't tell me."

Zhao Xue paused after saying that, and then said: "And I haven't committed any serious crimes. You have detained us for five days. If my uncle finds out..."

Yang Xuanchen waved his hand.

Isn’t it the identity of the eldest princess? You think I don’t know.

Now no one has pointed it out. If you want to act, I will act with you. If you want to play, I will play with you.

But you can’t tell anyone that I am Touya.

"Okay, okay, you agree to the conditions, but you really can't mention what happened tonight to anyone outside the cell."

Zhao Xue felt secretly happy, hehe, you are still a little too young to fight with me.

"Let's do this. From now on, I will take care of the publishing of the Stone Book!"

"The money you earn will be split 50-50 between you and me!"

"If you agree, I will keep it a secret for you. If you don't agree... hum!"

She didn't finish what she said, but Yang Xuanchen understood the meaning clearly.

Damn it, originally the three taels and one book of money went into my own pocket.

This was great. Half of it was taken out in one go. Yang Xuanchen's heart was stabbed in pain.

Speaking of which, it seems that I can’t accept it even if I don’t agree.

He gave Zhao Xue a firm look and said, "Okay! I'll do as you say!"

"I'll let you out tomorrow. Leave me your address later, and I'll send someone to deliver books to you. Someone will come to collect the bill every month."

"I hope Mr. Zhao is a man of his word."

Zhao Xue was also unambiguous. She walked to the cell door and stretched out her palms, smiling and saying: "High-five as an alliance, no regrets."

There was a soft snap, and Yang Xuanchen touched her palm lightly, "It's a deal."

Zhao Xue: "A horse is hard to catch."
