Nongmen Shuxiangzhi returns to ancient writing books

Chapter 27 027 How dare you fool me?
Ye Jiang stood straight, "It's normal, Chuchu was born and raised here, her ancestors have been in Fuguang Village for generations, there is nothing suspicious about it."

Ye Yixiao pinched the wine glass with his slender fingers, groped lightly, frowned and thought deeply, "This is the most suspicious thing, a village woman, what does she care about the frontier general? The stories she told, and her wit in Gaojibuzhuang , are not something that a village woman can have. In addition, Ah Ming is extremely obsessed with her, I don't believe this is a coincidence."

Ye Jiang frowned, "Young master is suspicious. Maybe Mrs. Chu already knows our identities and our purpose in Yunshui Town?"

Ye Yixiao shook his head, "Not necessarily, we can't be sure yet."

"By the way, young master, there is one more thing. This Chuchu was tied to the Black Wind Village for three days four years ago. He was rescued only after the Black Wind Village was destroyed. However, one month after returning, she became pregnant. She was dismissed because of her father's begging, so the Chu family left Chu Chu and her child behind. However, I heard that the Chu family expelled Chu Chu from the house a few days ago."

Ye Jiang added.

Ye Yixiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low tone, "Four years ago, Heifengzhai, are you sure?"

Ye Jiang: "Sure! This matter is not difficult to investigate." He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master, do you think it is possible that Mrs. Chu is that woman? If so, then girl Chu..."

Ye Yixiao put down his wine glass, a cold light flashed across his deep eyes, "Continue to investigate, don't miss any details."

"Yes." Ye Jiang turned around and left the tea room.

Ye Yixiao got up, walked to the window, leaned against the window, holding a glass of wine, looking at the bustling streets, vendors hawking, and pedestrians passing by.

Four years ago, he didn't have many memories, only the biting cold wind, bone-piercing pain, scorching body temperature, and the woman whose appearance was not clear.

On the bustling street, the woman with a bright smile like the sun came into his sight. Ye Yixiao's tight jaw was slightly loosened, and the folding fan lightly beat the palm of his hand, making a rattling sound, and the silent tea room suddenly became more lively.

On the street, after Chu Chu finalized the agreement with the shopkeeper, she came to Ye Fangzhai with today's reward.

Chu Dazhuang was working in Ye Fangzhai's engraving workshop. However, Chu Chu didn't come to find Chu Dazhuang this time. Chu Hong had been studying with Chu Sanchuan, and he was able to take the government examination at a young age. That's Tongsheng.

The seven-year-old Tongsheng has an unlimited future.

Chu Chu wanted to come over to see if he could buy some needed things for Chu Hong, thinking that he would not have any good things in the Chu family, so he tried to buy some Four Books and Five Classics for Chu Hong, but Chu Chu turned around. After one lap, the idea had to be dismissed.

At this time, she finally realized what it means to be worth a thousand dollars.

The cheapest one among the Four Books and Five Classics costs three taels of silver, and the quality of the paper is particularly poor. The thin one can transmit light in the sun. cracked, expensive and fragile.

Chu Chu touched the ten taels of silver in her purse, and felt a little headache. No wonder the life of the Chu family was so hard. It was extremely difficult for a farmer to provide for a scholar even with the strength of the family.

They had just moved out, and there were many places where they needed money, but Chuchu had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, aiming at the square inkstone on the shelf, with vine patterns carved around it, and a bronze bell in the center, smooth and flat , profound charm, simple atmosphere.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this square inkstone?" Chu Chu pointed to the one in the farthest corner, which was covered with a layer of dust.

The shopkeeper raised his head, and the crackling sound of the abacus under his hand disappeared immediately. He turned around and took off the inkstone, and said with a smile, "Madam has really good eyesight. This inkstone is of high quality and exquisite workmanship, and is very popular among the students. There is only one piece left in the shop, and I think Madam really likes it, so I’ll give it to you as a bargain, how about eight taels of silver?”

Chu Chu's hand holding the purse tightened tightly, but her expression remained unchanged, and the smile on her face was even brighter, "I'm talking about the shopkeeper, Ye Fangzhai's business is so good. Not long after the shop opened, it has become the largest shop in Yunshui Town. The bookstore, the shopkeeper really contributed a lot!"

The shopkeeper who was praised laughed hehehe, looking like a Maitreya Buddha, "Madam is too good."

"The skill of fooling guests is really bottomless." Chu Chu showed two dimples, and smiled.

The shopkeeper's expression froze in an instant, and his round face that looked like a big pancake turned cold, "What's the meaning of Ma'am's words? We, Ye Fangzhai, have always done business without deception. Don't spread rumors here and affect our business. "

"Spreading rumors?" Chu Chu raised her brows lightly, "I'm just telling the truth, the highest price of this square inkstone is only three taels of silver, but you want eight taels of silver, isn't that called being able to fool you?"

The shopkeeper's face remained unchanged, and he said mockingly, "I think you are just a country woman who can't read big characters. Do you know inkstone?"

"I don't understand." Chu Chu was very honest.

Shopkeeper: "..."

I don't understand that you are so righteous!Is this something to be very proud of?
"However, this does not prevent me from knowing that you are fooling me." Chuchu added, she picked up the inkstone on the table, and the corners of her lips slightly curled up, "Excellent quality, exquisite workmanship?"

Shopkeeper: "That's right."

Chu Chu: "Then the high-quality standard of your store is too low, right? This is just the most common stone inkstone with simple patterns and only a few vines. Is this called exquisite?"

The shopkeeper's mouth was stiff, "What do you know, students like this kind of clean and simple stone inkstone now, no, this is the only one left?"

Chu Chu caressed the vines carved around the stone inkstone with her index finger, stretched out her backhand, and asked with a smile, "I like this stone inkstone so much that it can be dusted on the shelf?" She shook her head and sighed, "This reader's ideas are really extraordinary. Refreshing."

Shopkeeper: "..."

Chu Chu put down the inkstone, supported the tabletop with one hand, and leaned forward, her eyebrows and eyes slightly bent, "For such a thing, the shopkeeper's heart is too dark, isn't it? Could it be that Ye Fangzhai is relying on this kind of stuff?" How to become the number one bookstore in Yunshui Town?"

"The shopkeeper does a lot of things like this, right?" Chu Chu slender eyebrows slightly curved, looked around sideways, and asked with a smile, "Tell me, if everyone knows about this..."

Even though she spoke softly, the shopkeeper felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and his whole body was icy cold.

He pursed his lips tightly, stared at Chuchu, and lowered his voice, "What do you want?"
