Chapter 38 Zhou Pei Takes the Bait
After resigning from Yan Qi, Zhao Huayin began to take action.
"Dianxue, the people assigned to Zhou Pei should take action."
"Yes."
Dianxue went out from the side door of Pinyaju.
Ever since Yu Ying'er entered Prince Xuan's Palace, Zhou Pei has felt a lump in his heart.
Especially when he went to the bookstore to buy books several times later and met students from Hanzhang Academy, they mocked Zhou Pei.
Zhou Pei was so angry that he secretly investigated and found out the reason.
It turned out that there was a servant who claimed to be Yu Ying'er's former servant. He came to the bookstore to get something for his master and mentioned it in casual conversation with the people here.
Aunt Yu, who has now entered Prince Xuan's palace, had been engaged to a scholar since childhood. However, the scholar's face was disfigured and his legs were crippled.
Aunt Yu disliked the scholar and cursed him behind his back. In the end, she used all means to get him into the prince's palace as a concubine.
However, the students of Hanzhang Academy all came from distinguished families and could not be easily offended, so Zhou Pei could only swallow his anger for the time being.
Because he didn't want to see these people, Zhou Pei hadn't been to the bookstore for some time.
When Zhou Pei came out of the palace that day, his long-time servant advised him to
"Sir, it's still early today, why don't we go to the bookstore and take a look? I heard that the new calligraphy in the bookstore is very good."
Seeing Zhou Pei was a little hesitant, the servant knew that Zhou Pei was afraid of meeting those people from Hanzhang Academy, so he hurriedly advised: "It's a good time to go there. The academy hasn't finished classes yet, so we won't be too crowded and noisy."
Hearing this, Zhou Pei nodded.
"Okay, we haven't been to the bookstore for a while. We are free today, so let's go take a look."
"Okay! Sir, please get in the car. We'll be there soon."
The servant helped Zhou Pei into the car with a smile on his face, gestured towards the alley entrance, and then followed Zhou Pei to the bookstore.
"Miss, Zhou Pei went to the bookstore."
Dianxue came in and said to Zhao Huayin.
"You should go there too."
"Yes."
Dianxue responded and took the order.
Zhou Pei often came to this bookstore, and after gaining face in front of King Xuan, he was quite generous in his spending.
When the owner of the bookstore saw Zhou Pei limping in, he hurried over to greet him.
"Mr. Zhou, you haven't been here for a while. Please come in! We have a new copybook today. It is really rare. Let me show it to you!"
Zhou Pei was very pleased with the bookstore owner's flattery and nodded.
"Then take it out and have a look. What kind of calligraphy can earn such praise from the shopkeeper?"
"Awen, go get the calligraphy and show it to Master Zhou!"
After the shopkeeper gave instructions to the waiter, he led Zhou Pei to the private room.
"Mr. Zhou, please come this way!"
Zhou Pei sat down and drank a cup of tea, and the waiter had already brought the copybook.
This calligraphy copy turned out to be a rare copy that Zhou Pei wanted to see very much. Zhou Pei was attracted to it as soon as he saw it. He held it in his hand, looked at it from left to right, and couldn't let it go.
"Shopkeeper, I want your calligraphy."
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhou, this is a guest who left it here, saying that he is willing to exchange ideas with people who love calligraphy, but the calligraphy cannot be sold."
Zhou Pei didn't look very good.
"If you're not selling it, why take it out?"
"Mr. Zhou also knows that talented young men often deposit their works in my bookshop. It can be regarded as making friends through literature. If you meet a kindred spirit, it is common to exchange calligraphy with each other."
The shopkeeper was right. There were many scholars and writers who came to the bookstore. Some of them would consign their own works, while others just wanted to find people with similar interests.
Zhou Pei was a frequent visitor here, so he naturally knew the rules. Although he liked the calligraphy, he couldn't break other people's rules.
"If Mr. Zhou likes this calligraphy, next time the gentleman who deposited the calligraphy comes over, Mr. Zhou can take a look at it. Maybe he can find a soulmate!"
"Please bring some refreshments over. I want to take a closer look at this calligraphy."
The shopkeeper respectfully withdrew to prepare tea and snacks.
Zhou Pei didn't know that this copybook was sent by Zhao Huayin a few days ago.
Knowing that Zhou Pei liked it in her previous life, Zhao Huayin spent a lot of effort to find this calligraphy.
If you want Zhou Pei to stay in the bookstore for a longer time, this copy of calligraphy is naturally the best.
Zhou Pei sat in the private room and carefully appreciated the work of this great calligrapher. After a while he heard sobbing coming from outside.
At first the sobbing sound did not attract Zhou Pei's attention until he heard another voice.
"Haven't you found it yet? Did you know that the jade pendant was Miss Yu's engagement gift? Miss Yu only asked you to take it for a moment, so how did you lose it? If you can't find it, Miss Yu will punish you!"
Zhou Pei originally thought the voice was familiar, but when he suddenly heard the words "Miss Yu, engagement", he quickly put down the calligraphy in his hand and listened carefully.
"Stop crying, there's no use crying, hurry up and look for her, the girl is still waiting for us to go back!"
Zhou Pei heard it!
This was the voice of the maidservant beside Zhao Huayin.
Wait, was the thing they just talked about the jade pendant that Yu Ying'er and I wore for engagement?
Zhou Pei's eyes moved slightly. He was just worrying about how to take revenge on Yu Ying'er. If this jade pendant fell into his hands, he wouldn't have to worry about it...
Thinking of this, Zhou Pei paid more attention to the movements outside.
The little maid cried for a while again.
“Sister Dianxue, I really can’t find it. Maybe it’s not lost here.”
"Where else have you been?"
"I also went to Caidiexuan to pick up the rouge that the girl ordered a few days ago. Will it be possible..."
"Stop talking and go take a look. If it's lost, watch out for your skin!"
The sound of the two people talking gradually faded away.
Zhou Pei became excited, it seemed that the little maid had lost Yu Ying'er's jade pendant.
Without waiting for the servant beside him to react, Zhou Pei stood up and left the private room.
Looking around the bookstore, Zhou Pei was very familiar with the place. If the jade pendant was really here, he would have to look for it carefully.
"quick!"
Zhou Pei touched his sleeves and instructed the servant beside him,
"Look under every bookshelf. I left a jade pendant here. Look carefully!"
Upon hearing this, the servant lay on the ground and looked at each row of bookshelves.
Zhou Pei was not idle either. He went to the corners behind each bookshelf and searched carefully.
The two searched for a while but found nothing. The bookstore owner came over to ask,
"What are you looking for, Master Zhou? Do you need my help?"
Zhou Pei waved his hand.
"No need! Go do your thing, I'll find it myself."
After saying this, he stopped looking at the shopkeeper and walked towards the innermost corner of the bookstore.
Behind the innermost bookshelf, Zhou Pei vaguely saw a piece of silk.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhou Pei reached out to reach it himself.
Finally, Zhou Pei lay on the ground, held the necklace in his hand, and pulled it out, and a jade pendant was pulled out.
Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Zhou Pei's brows were filled with joy.
Now he has the handle on the bitch Yu Ying'er in his hand, and he won't have to worry about not being able to take revenge!
Zhou Pei's eyes flashed with resentment and he smiled sinisterly.
"Shopkeeper, I don't want to read this calligraphy anymore. Please put it away!"
Zhou Pei put the jade pendant in his arms and left with the servant, leaving the shopkeeper and the clerk looking at each other in bewilderment.
Dianxue and the little maid were standing at the alley opposite the bookstore, and saw Zhou Pei coming out of the bookstore with a happy look on his face.
"Okay, let's go back and tell the girl."
"Sister Dianxue, I performed well just now, didn't I?"
The little maid looked at Dianxue expectantly.
The little maid was poked on the forehead with a little snow.
"Let's go! Go back and wait for the girl to reward you."
