Why marry someone when you are reborn?

The next day, as soon as Xu Yun started work, he saw Gao Yu.

Gao Yu looked like he was about to smile: "Xiao Zheyue came to see me last night."

Xu Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat: Could it be that Gao Yu had confirmed her relationship with Xiao Zheyue? And then Xiao Zheyue denied it...

In a trance, Xu Yun seemed to have heard a saw on his neck, the sound of "crunching".

She bit her back teeth and felt a little sour.

But could Xu Yun show it? She smiled gently: "Really? Did you say anything?"

"She really protects you." Gao Yu gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "She came to warn me."

Xu Yun: ??? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

She said without changing her expression: "I will thank Zheyue in person later. However, she means well, so Miss Gao won't be angry, right?"

The name "Zheyue" made Gao Yu and Xu Yun feel a little sad.

But Xu Yun held back.

Gao Yu couldn't help herself, she even got angry: "You are too powerful!"

Xu Yun smiled lightly and said something very truthful: "Zhe Yue treats me well, so I naturally get close to her. As a person, I will treat well whoever treats me well."

Gao Yu was immediately led away: "What if I treat you better?"

Xu Yun smiled gently, and spoke in a gentle tone: "Of course I am closer to Miss Gao."

Gao Yu rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you want?"

Before she even finished her words, she added, "Except Luo Zhan!"

Xu Yun really had no idea about Luo Zhan, so he chose something else without hesitation: "I want it."

"Earth?" Gao Yu was stunned, his expression looked a little silly.

Xu Yun nodded: "Yes, the land. People live for food and shelter. Zheyue helped me get the house, and now this land——"

As she spoke, she sighed.

Gao Yu was so full of confidence that he slammed the table and said, "I'll take care of the situation!"

Xu Yun was surprised, and his voice rose several degrees: "Really?!"

Gao Yu didn't have time to calm down. He was aroused by Xu Yun's emotions and agreed without hesitation: "Seriously! There will be good news tomorrow!"

Xu Yun's expression was even more surprised and moved, and he even mentioned Luo Zhan: "If Luo Zhan knew that Miss Gao was so powerful, he would definitely be surprised!"

"Will he be surprised?" Gao Yu was even more surprised: "Will he think I'm very virtuous? What about his family's land? If I do it together..."

Xu Yun quickly stopped talking: "Luo Zhan is a capable man, he definitely doesn't like to rely on women."

How dare Gao Yu do this? Xu Yun felt that Luo Zhan would stab her to death with a single sword when he came back.

Gao Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and even the maid beside him started to think about it.

Xu Yun smiled: "Helping a friend is to meet his needs, but for Luo Zhan, the relationship is different. However, when Luo Zhan sees that Miss Gao cares about her friends like this, he will definitely think that Miss Gao is a good person."

The maid looked up at Xu Yun in confusion: Really? We have known each other for more than a year, does General Luo really not understand my young lady?

Xu Yun pretended not to see it.

Anyway, as long as Gao Yu believes it, it's fine.

Finally, Gao Yu was in a hurry to find a piece of land. Before leaving, he asked Xu Yun: "How much do you want to buy?"

Xu Yun thought for a moment, stretched out two fingers, thought again, and retracted one finger: "Ten acres."

Gao Yu's expression froze: "Ten acres?"

Xu Yun sighed deeply: "My family is poor..."

Gao Yu looked at Xu Yun sympathetically, said nothing, and left. After leaving, he turned his head and said to the maid: "You go and do it. I'm too embarrassed to ask for ten acres of land--"

The maid looked around in bewilderment: "Ah? Me? What should I do?"

However, after Gao Yu and his servant left, Xu Yun was finally able to do his own thing in peace and quiet.

But not long after, the old shopkeeper came over with his hands behind his back and asked vaguely: "Was that Miss Gao just now?"

Xu Yun nodded and admitted: "Yes. I will tell Miss Gao later and ask her not to come here to find me. After all, it's working hours."

The old shopkeeper instantly lowered his voice and put his hands behind his back: "Ms. Gao, you'd better stay away."

Xu Yun understood immediately, nodded repeatedly, and promised: "I will never let Miss Gao affect our bookstore!"

The old shopkeeper said nothing more.

However, Xu Yun understood that Gao Yu's reputation in the city of Beiping was so bad that it was appalling.

But she still found some ways to deal with Gao Yu.

Gao Yu is... still a very simple person.

There was nothing happening in the morning. In the afternoon, a young man came with two ancient books.

As soon as the man came in, he placed the book wrapped in cloth on the table: "Name a price."

Xu Yun carefully unpacked the package, took a look at it, and almost jumped for joy.

One of them turned out to be a note from a great scholar of the previous dynasty!

It was badly damaged, almost half of the book was missing, and even the remaining half had various damages.

If this book were put out there, it would at least sell for several gold coins.

Xu Yun asked with a smile: "What is this gentleman's name? Do you have a price in mind?"

The young man stared at Xu Yun for several times before he smiled and said, "My last name is Zhao, Zhao Mu. I don't know the price either, so you can decide for yourself, young lady."

Xu Yun took this opportunity to take a good look at the young man.

I also have an assessment in my mind.

It is estimated that this Mr. Zhao is a member of a declining aristocratic family. Although he does not wear the wide robes and big sleeves that aristocrats like to wear, he still has a scholarly air and speaks in the style of literati.

Xu Yun had already calculated the price by clacking away at the abacus in his mind for several times.

So she made an offer: "One gold cake. Two books."

Zhao Mu frowned, "So cheap?"

This was not satisfactory. However, Xu Yun had been prepared and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, if this book was intact, it would definitely sell for a high price, but now... after all, half of it is missing and it is badly damaged, so naturally it can only be sold at this price."

Xu Yun smiled very gently: "Don't underestimate our high prices, but this book will take us at least several months to repair - it takes a lot of meticulous work. Several of our masters are working together. It will take them a month, not to mention the materials, just the labor..."

Zhao Mu listened with a frown, and finally shook his head: "But this price is too cheap."

Xu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I'll give you another ten silver cakes, but if you have a book like this in the future, or if your friends have one, please come to us, okay?"

After a pause, Xu Yun whispered, "This price is the highest I can offer. I'm only offering it because I want to have a long-term relationship with you."

Xu Yun smiled embarrassedly.

Her expression really looked sincere. And because she was young, she looked even more inexperienced.

Zhao Mu was fooled in the end and nodded with pain.

Then, while waiting to hand over the silver, Xu Yun asked, "Mr. Zhao, you know a lot of writers, right? Are there any gatherings of writers in Beiping?"
