"She's upstairs?"

It was just a short sentence, but the tone was affirmative.

In an instant, Cheng Cheng raised his head and looked at Shen Zhuo suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

How does he know?

wrong!

How does he know that Wanshu Pavilion is Linglong?

"Is she sleeping upstairs?" Shen Zhuo continued to ask, ignoring Cheng Cheng's out-of-control expression.

Cheng Cheng was stunned by the question and could only answer subconsciously, "No."

However, Shen Zhuo ignored Cheng Cheng's answer.

He frowned, and said in a heavy tone, full of deep suspicion, "She can't sleep?"

The scent he smelled when he entered the room was very strange, and considering that she was such a vigilant person, she didn't wake up even when someone entered her territory.

At that time, he realized that this should be used to treat sleep, and there was a faint smell of medicine in the fragrance.

When Cheng Cheng heard Shen Zhuo's question, he almost fell to his knees.

No way, you can guess that?

How on earth did he know that?

Are you really guessing?

Could he be the legendary wise man who is almost a demon?

"No."

As for Shen Zhuo, Cheng Cheng still doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend.

Although Linglong’s attitude is there, what about Shen Zhuo’s attitude?

If he had been imprisoned for so long, he would have considered it lucky if he hadn't chopped the person to pieces and left the body intact.

He didn't believe that Shen Zhuo had no complaints.

However, just when Cheng Cheng thought Shen Zhuo would ask something again, or use threats or bribes to force him to tell the truth.

Shen Zhuo,

gone.

Um? ?

He is gone? ! !

Looking at the person who went upstairs without looking back, Chengcheng was confused and his face was full of disbelief.

he,

Just left like that? ?

Didn't ask anything and just left like that?

Was it because his attitude hurt him that he just left without asking any more questions?

Or, did he really believe what he said?

So easy to cheat? ?

Is this really Shen Zhuo?

Is Shen Zhuo so easy to deal with?

That’s not right. If Shen Zhuo is so easy to deal with, why hasn’t Linglong been able to deal with him?

Linglong is much smarter than him, how come he can handle Shen Zhuo but Linglong can't?

wrong!

It must be wrong!

It must not be that simple!

Don't try to fool me!

He must have done it on purpose. He was trying to trick me and make me anxious. When I caught up with him and asked him about it, I really fell into his trap.

right! That must be it!

Ha, I figured it out, didn't I?

Hahahaha

I won't chase after him.

Don't think I don't know. Once I catch up with him and ask him, the initiative will be in his hands.

Oh, he is not that stupid!

If he doesn't catch up now, the initiative will always be in his hands.

snort!

Small sample.

I figured it out!

You dare to use such a bad trick on me? You really underestimate me!

However, Cheng Cheng never thought that Shen Zhuo had already got the answer he wanted.

Shen Zhuo, who had already gotten the answer, returned to the box with a heavy heart.

Is there any way to cure sleep? What should I do if I can't sleep well? What should I do if I can't sleep?

Shen Zhuo had a little trouble.

Gu Jue slept for a long time and woke up in the afternoon.

When I woke up, there were quite a lot of people in the store.

On the second floor alone, not including where I am, there should be six people?

Is Old Prince An here?

Just as Gu Jue sat up, drank a cup of tea and was about to go out for a look, Ying Ye appeared.

"Master, the young master is in the 'No' box."

Hearing Ying Ye's words, Gu Jue frowned uncontrollably. "Who did he come with?"

"The young master came with Xu Zilin. He arrived in the morning."

"Ok?"

"What time is it now?" Gu Jue had been so sleepy that he had lost track of time.

"It's almost 3 p.m., Master, you're coming in the afternoon."

As if knowing what Gu Jue was thinking, Ying Ye took the initiative to tell the time before Gu Jue asked.

"Ah."

"Master, Old Prince An has arrived and is discussing with Brother Cheng in the 'Zhi' box."

Hearing this, Gu Jue frowned slightly, but said nothing. He just walked aside and started washing and eating.

An hour later.

Originally, only one person came into Gu Jue's room.

As soon as the visitor entered the room, he collapsed on the couch without any image.

Seeing that the person had no manners at all and lay down as soon as he came in, Gu Jue sighed helplessly and kicked someone who was half lying on the bed.

"So tired?"

"Tired?" Chengcheng was speechless.

"What do you mean by tired? I'm going to die!"

"Then old Prince An is indeed worthy of being called the God of War. He was so calm and composed during the negotiations, as if he had everything under control."

"Fortunately, I had rehearsed with Ah Jiu and the others several times before, so I was familiar with the possible topics to discuss. Even so, I was almost tricked, but fortunately I reacted in time."

"Is it really as you said? Old Prince An asked for 30% profit right away, and asked us to discuss any papers with him in advance. Is that all I can accept?"

"But in the end, I managed to keep things under control within the scope you gave me."

"The word cunning and sly is really the most appropriate to describe such a smart old man. He is worthy of being called the God of War."

"You are right. Old Prince An will approve of the existence of Wanshu Pavilion, but he will never allow Wanshu Pavilion to be out of the control of the royal family."

"The emperor probably means the same thing."

After listening to what Cheng Cheng said, Gu Jue didn't have much reaction.

She didn’t know whether Prince An would agree to her request, but she could still predict whether the Emperor would agree.

"The imperial examination is held every three years. We at Wanhu Pavilion don't rely on the imperial examination papers to make a living. It's already very good to be able to discuss the level I mentioned before."

"If they want to participate in the imperial examination, let them participate. It's held every three years anyway."

Hearing this, Cheng Cheng nodded in approval.

"Indeed. But if our Wanshu Pavilion doesn't sell books, but only sells scrolls, that would also be quite amazing. We open every three years and make a profit for three years. How exciting and arrogant that would be."

Seeing that they had started arguing again, Gu Jue simply didn't bother to pay attention to Cheng Cheng.

"By the way, Old Prince An said that the plaque will be delivered in three days."

"Ah."

Knowing that things were as she expected and were moving in the direction she predicted, Gu Jue was completely relieved and no longer paid attention to this matter.

plaque?

That's even less important.

In the past few days, all businesses and shops in Yanjing have suffered shocks of varying degrees.

Because of the opening of the bookshelves on the first floor of Wanshu Pavilion, the whole of Yanjing was swept by a reading craze overnight.

No matter whether it is a candidate, a young scholar, a scholar, a teacher, a middle-aged talent, etc., as long as one is literate, he must spend some time reading and reading every day.

In the whole Yanjing, no matter whether it is a big family, a small family, or a poor family.

There are always a few people in the family who read a book every day.

Even the various aristocratic families have quieted down.

Although they still looked down on Wanshu Pavilion as always, because of these books, they no longer had the mood to cause trouble for Wanhu Pavilion.

As the craze for reading swept across Yanjing, many shops, teahouses, etc. in Yanjing were affected.

Except Wanshu Pavilion.

There are more people coming to Wanshu Pavilion to read books every day than before. It is no longer just scholars, but those who love books have also started to come to Wanshu Pavilion to read.

The first floor is always full every day, with some people even standing and reading. The entire first floor is filled with people reading quietly.

As a result, the private rooms on the second floor were also completely open.
