MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 120 deja vu

  Chapter 120 Deja vu

  Duan Yunlang returned to the Imperial College, and he said what Xin You had said.

  Meng Fei, like Duan Yunlang, was amazed by this remark, and turned around to tell Meng Jijiu.

  A strange color flashed in Meng Jijiu's eyes: "Is this said by Miss Kou, the owner of Qingsong Bookstore?"

   "Yes. That's why I didn't ask what Mr. Matsurei is like."

  Meng Jijiu waved his hand to signal his grandson to leave, and strolled to Qingsong Bookstore early the next morning.

  Meng Jijiu, shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou both know each other. After all, the Imperial College is nearby, and you can often see this old man passing by.

  But Meng Jijiu seldom visits bookstores. You must know that Guozijian also prints books. The quality of books is higher than that of private printing.

   Shopkeeper Hu squeezed Liu Zhou away, and went up to meet him respectfully.

  Liu Zhou could understand the old shopkeeper's excitement when he saw the Guozijian offering wine. When he saw Meng Jijiu walking into the bookstore yesterday, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.

   "Is your boss here?"

   Shopkeeper Hu wondered: Meng Jijiu came to find Mr. Song Ling yesterday morning, and today he came to find the boss again. Is there something important?

   "Our boss is here, please wait a moment." Shopkeeper Hu immediately sent Shi Shi to report.

  Xin You stayed behind closed doors today, and continued to write the manuscript. After receiving the report from Shi Shi, she went to the front.

   "I have seen Master Jijiu."

  Meng Jijiu, who was invited by shopkeeper Hu to the reception room, has white beard and hair, but not many wrinkles on his face. He has a pair of phoenix eyes similar to Meng Fei, and looks energetic.

  While Xinyou was looking at Meng Jijiu, Meng Jijiu was also looking at her.

  I came to visit Mr. Song Ling yesterday, and he left after hearing from the shopkeeper of the bookstore that he could not be contacted. This was the first time I saw the rumored Miss Kou.

  There are so many curious young people in Guozijian, and Meng Jijiu can hear a lot of gossip when he walks around, including Qingsong Bookstore, so he has heard of Miss Kou.

  The girl in front of her eyes had clear eyes and a calm demeanor, and she didn't seem timid when facing him, the Guozijian's sacrificial wine, which was rare.

   "Miss Kou, you don't need to be too polite. This is not an imperial government office, so just treat me as an ordinary guest."

  Xin You smiled to show that she understood, and asked about Meng Jijiu's intentions.

Meng Jijiu stroked his beard without beating around the bush: "Yesterday, I accidentally heard something from a student. I asked Miss Kou who said it. I am really curious that Miss Kou can explain such a profound truth clearly at such a young age. So obvious, so deafening, I couldn't resist coming to see it."

  Xin You took a sip of tea in embarrassment.

  What she just said to Duan Yunlang has now reached the ears of Guozijian Jijiu. What kind of big mouth is Duan Yunlang.

   What is embarrassing is nothing else, but that she didn't say this.

  Xin You showed an embarrassed smile: "I'm going to disappoint Lord Jijiu, that's not what I said."

   "Oh, I don't know who said it?" Disappointment flashed in Meng Jijiu's eyes.

  He was disappointed not because of the girl in front of him, but because of another reason.

  Eggs are delicious, there is no need to see the hen laying eggs. These words are indeed refreshing, but what makes him unable to resist to find out is not the words themselves, but the familiarity of these words.

   A strange woman once said something similar, that is, Empress Xin who had been missing for many years.

  At that time, he was already working for the current king. In order to attack a city, several counselors argued endlessly, because the most suitable executor had a bad reputation.

  Queen Xin said: "It doesn't matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. Why are you arguing?"

  Words that are so straightforward that an illiterate person can understand them have the effect of enlightenment.

  Meng Jijiu suddenly thought of Empress Xin after hearing the report from his grandson. Even though he knew it was impossible, he followed his heart and came to have a look.

   "It's...Mr. Song Ling said." Xin You didn't have such a thick skin and attributed it to herself, and she was afraid that her mother had said such things to others, so it is most appropriate to blame Mr. Song Ling.

   Upon hearing that it was Mr. Songling, Meng Jijiu's eyes moved slightly: "I came to visit Mr. Songling yesterday, but I didn't have the chance to meet him. I wonder if Ms. Kou can introduce you conveniently?"

  Xin You blinked and said with a smile, "Master Jijiu, think about Mr. Songling's words."

  Mr. Matsurei’s words—

  Meng Jijiu froze for a moment, then smiled heartily: "It's the old man's hard work."

  Xin You immediately became more fond of this old man.

  Many people in power pretend to be approachable, just to show their demeanor. In fact, if they are rejected by the inferiors, don't mention how annoyed they are.

  As for this Master Jijiu, she can feel that her mind is magnanimous.

  Before Meng Jijiu left, he still reminded: "Mr. Song Ling is a great talent, I am afraid he cannot hide his brilliance."

  Xin You watched Meng Jijiu leave, and returned to the east courtyard to continue writing the story silently.

  She understood what Meng Jijiu meant, but what she wanted was to use Mr. Song Ling's identity to pass on to him what she wanted that person to know.

   This is a bit risky, but if her enemy is indeed Guchangbo’s mansion, or even Queen Qing’s mother and son, she can only rely on her strength to face such a huge monster.

   Some risks must be taken, and the worst result is her life. What she can do is to do her best and have no regrets in success or failure.

  A drop of ink fell on the rice paper, and it quickly faded away.

  Xin You stared at the ball of ink, a little lost in thought.

   She really wanted to reach that point. Although she had no regrets, she still had unfinished business. One is the promise to Xiaolian to take back Miss Kou's family wealth, and the other is that Mr. He has helped a lot, but he has not returned it.

  It seems that it is time to seize the time to get Kou Qingqing back home. As for Master He—

  As for Mr. He, he is the majestic Jinlinwei Zhen Fushi, the hereditary Marquis of Changle. And she just opened a bookstore, and was coveted by the Shaoqing government as a "Miss Kou".

  Maybe I will be in debt all the time.

  She grew up to sixteen years old, because a pair of different pupils has always been the side that helps others. There are many people in this world who owe her favors, but this one is the only one she owes.

  For a while, Xin You couldn't tell what was in her heart, so she pursed her lips lightly, picked up her pen and continued writing.

  At night, Xinyou soaked his hands in hot water for a long time to relieve his fatigue.

  Xiao Lian felt sorry for Xin You's hard work, and gently pressed her shoulders for her.

   "Girl, our bookstore has made a lot of money. Don't work too hard. It doesn't matter if you release new books later."

"There is no need to rush, but I don't like procrastinating. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently." Xin You closed her eyes and enjoyed Xiaolian's massage, and asked softly, "Xiaolian, what are your plans when you get Miss Kou's property back?" Woolen cloth?"

  Xiao Lian pressed her hand for a while, and turned to Xin You.

   "Girl, do you have a way to get home money?"

   "Tell me." Xin You smiled.

   There was a solution long ago, and what she had been waiting for was the opportunity.

  Xiaolian was stopped by the question: "I...don't know, I can't imagine now..."

   Obviously did not get the answer from Xiao Lian, but Xin You's heart suddenly relaxed.

   "Then don't think about it, we'll talk about it later." Xin You said to Xiaolian, and also said to herself.
