Chapter 13
Chapter 13
In the next few days, Rongli deliberately slept late and didn't get up, just to avoid having breakfast with Chu Xingzhou, but it happened that the other party didn't come again, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the two of them.
He didn't know if the other party was embarrassed or not, anyway, he was ashamed to see the other party for the time being, it was too exciting.
However, Chu Xingge should really have a lot of things to do every day. Since the first time Rong Rongli saw him, he has only seen him during breakfast, and he has never seen Chu Xingzhou's shadow during the rest of the time.
And since Rongli warned Yurou that day, no other women from the backyard have come to him, and he is also very happy.
After the liquidation at the end of the month, the shops completely changed hands. Except for the two good businesses Mo You helped him find someone to take over, the remaining one is now closed and ready to be refurbished.
Opening a bookstore is not just talk.
Because Rong Li's status in the palace is not high, no one seems to believe the story of the princess before. Even if he had dinner with Chu Xingzhou a few times, the news is not very special, so no other interested people will come to him he.
He also heard from other people that he was just a wedding object, but before the ceremony, King Rui woke up early, so naturally he would have nothing to do with himself, not to mention that he never had contact with people in the court, A down-and-out concubine from the noble family who was being neglected, who would have the leisure to talk to him.
Coupled with the identity of a man, it is more convenient for him to go out, unlike those women in the backyard, who worry about being gossiped if they go out for too long.
Rong Li had finished taking the anti-fetal medicine, and nothing happened during the period, so he was completely relieved.
-
Mo You placed several blueprints on the table, all of which were the interior layout of the store, "Look at which one you like, and if you choose, let people start work directly."
Rong Li was not satisfied after reading a few pictures, so he thought for a while and picked out one that he liked relatively, "That's it, but you don't need to put all of them on air, I want to separate a small room as a quiet room .”
Mo You felt a little baffled, "What do you want the quiet room for?" Isn't it just selling books?
Rong Li rubbed his chin, thinking of the big box of lonely books in his room, he would not be willing to sell them, but it was a pity to keep them so that they would never see the light of day.
But if it is sold on the market, it would be too unfair to the book writers, and more than half of the books in his collection were not signed. When they were collected, they were just manuscripts, and he bound them himself. spread out.
"I want to use the quiet room as a bill-paying loan." Rong Li explained, "Of course it is limited to some books that I am not willing to sell."
Mo You also read the stories about ghosts and monsters collected by Rongli, and some of them were credited to him, but he lost them after reading them, and he didn't have the habit of collecting them like Rongli.
Rong Li's idea is good, but it's just...
Mo You: "Maybe not many people will go to the quiet room. After all, those young masters and ladies are not willing to stay there for too long, and ordinary people will not waste that little money on such things that are thrown away after seeing it." Things like storybooks are really equivalent to spending money to go out and buy an addiction, and this addiction is very short-lived. After a while, when someone asks about it again, they can’t remember anything.
Compared with the quiet room that Rongli said, everyone may prefer to buy a book and go back. After reading it and forgetting, you can go back and read it again.
Rong Li smiled slightly, "Jingshi didn't do it to make money, I just think it's a pity to leave those books like this." Although it was just something to pass the time, it was written by others with hard work.
As soon as Mo You heard him say that he was not interested in making money, he was really not interested in buying and selling, "I'll keep it for you in the quiet room, you can figure it out yourself." He collected the rest of the blueprints. Get up, "Then on the other side, I will choose this one according to you and let people renovate it?"
Rong Li nodded, "Then I'll go to other bookstores to see if there are any new books recently."
Newly published scripts are usually recorded in the government office. There will be a special person in charge of these, and a certain amount of money is required for the records. The government wants justice.
After Rong Li's finished book is given to Mo You, Mo You will also ask someone to record it for him.
But because there is a lot of money to be paid for the record, many people are unwilling to go, and some don't care about it. They are quite willing to spread the things they wrote.
Rong Li didn't go directly to other bookstores after leaving the South Building, but went back to Liyuan.
He had agreed to take Ayu out today, but the first time he stepped into the pear courtyard, he found that the atmosphere in the courtyard seemed a little wrong.
He frowned and looked around the yard. There was nothing different from usual, except that the little maids who used to chat together after they had free time were all standing solemnly at the entrance of the small hall, and the rest were also cleaning the yard seriously.
After he walked over, the two little maids at the door saluted and looked at him with worried eyes.
Rong Li was a little baffled, and only after stepping in did he hear some whispered conversations inside.
"What does your son do on weekdays?" It was a very clear and gentle female voice.
"Back to Madam, my son likes to read, write and write articles on weekdays, and occasionally goes out for a stroll." Ayu's calm voice came.
"Reading is good, but you still need to go out for a walk, and you can't stay in the yard all the time." The female voice said again, "How long has he been out?"
Before Ayu could answer, the other party directly met the eyes of Rongli who had just entered.
Rong Li was slightly taken aback when he saw the woman sitting in the small hall. Although the woman was sitting upright, she didn't appear to be overbearing at all. There was a faint smile in her charming Danfeng eyes, and the smile seemed to enlarge when she looked at him.
There was a movement in his heart but he couldn't confirm it. He frowned slightly but asked politely, "Who is this lady?"
A Yu gave him the wink as if he had fed the dog, alas, it is too difficult not to have a tacit understanding with the young master.
The woman got up and wanted to pull him to sit down, but Rongli reacted very quickly and took two steps back before the opponent's hand touched her, frowning, "Madam, please respect yourself."
The lady was taken aback by his reaction, then chuckled, "Little raccoon is too out of touch." She sat down again holding the handkerchief, looked at Rong raccoon and smiled, "I can Becoming your mother, are you afraid that I will take advantage of you?"
Rong Li was taken aback, although the woman's demeanor was somewhat dignified and elegant, but she looked about 20 years old, he glanced at A Yu, and the other party couldn't bear to look directly at her.
Ayu didn't want his young master to make any strange moves later, so he introduced, "This is the empress dowager, she just returned to the mansion this morning."
Rong Li froze for a moment before thinking about it. Ayu was talking about going back to the mansion, and the only one who can be called a concubine in Rui Wang's mansion is... Rui Wang's mother.
He was so frightened that his eyes widened. The empress dowager looked too young. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and his next reaction was to kneel and kowtow to salute, "I have seen the empress dowager." Rong Li raised his head and blushed a little. "Just now, I didn't know it was you just now."
"Okay, get up." She stretched out her hand to gently help Rong Li to get him up, "Don't call me the concubine too, I'm not that old." She had an expression that she particularly disliked this title.
"Yes." Rong Li didn't sit or stand after getting up, and he didn't know what to do.
"Sit down." The empress dowager asked him to sit on a chair beside her, and asked the maid behind him to pour him a cup of tea.
Ayu had already stood beside Rongli, he was really scared to death just now.
Rongli will not be much better.
The fingertips curled up in the palms of his hands were trembling slightly. As a serious and unmotivated bastard, he had never come into contact with people in high positions.
But he didn't have that kind of fear towards King Rui, so he guessed that he might have slept through it?
Thinking of this, Rong Li froze, scolding himself in his heart, thinking about sleeping with someone's son in front of his mother, his skin is thick enough.
But the empress dowager didn't know what the other party was thinking, she just realized that the concubine chosen by her son seemed to be shyer than the little girl, her ears were red.
……
Rong Li froze his body and tensed his nerves to talk with the concubine, most of the time the other party was asking, and he was just answering dryly.
In the beginning, the questions were all about King Rui, but he and King Rui had no other time to spend together except for the weird breakfast in those few days, and there was not much to talk about, and then it turned to his daily life.
As a daily monotonous person, Rong Li wanted to get into the ground when he answered.
After finally waiting for the other party to leave, Rongli's back was wet.
Ayu pushed his young master who was lying on the chair, "Young master, are you okay?"
Rong Li lazily leaned on the back of the chair and said blankly, "It's not very good."
Now that the person left, he became sober. He couldn't figure it out. There were so many people in the backyard of the palace, why did they come here? Could it be that he was just curious because he was the only male servant in the backyard?
Can't figure it out. Can't figure it out.
The frightened Rongli didn't want to go to any bookstores, and huddled in his yard like a frightened quail.
In the evening, Chu Xingzhou learned from his servants that his mother who ran away for two years went to the pear courtyard to meet his princess as soon as she came back. Thinking of Rongli's timid temper, he looked at the night It's still early, ready to appease.
Rong Li, who was taking a comfortable bath, was flushed/red by the warm steam. He closed his eyes and leaned on the tub to enjoy it.
The slight creaking sound of the door opening brought him back to his thoughts. Rong Li thought it was Ah Yu who came in to make up the bed, so he didn't say anything. It happened that the water in the bucket was getting warmer, so he closed his eyes and shouted, "Ah Yu, Bring me some hot water."
The footsteps that just came in paused for a while and continued to come this way, and then stopped beside him. Rong Li closed his eyes and leaned his head on the edge of the tub. He yawned and thought about why Ah Yu didn't talk much now. No, it seems like death to not let him talk on weekdays.
As the temperature of the water gradually increased, a deep voice hit Rongli's ears, "Is it enough?"
Rong Li replied casually, "Enough." Then he opened his eyes abruptly, and saw a very handsome face from bottom to top.
