Xu Jiang smiled and said, "Gifts are gifts, and business is business." After saying that, she still twisted off the extra silver and handed it to him.
Wu Qingye had no choice but to accept it.
After paying the money, Xu Jiang wrote a sales contract for him.
This handwriting is good.
Wu Qingye's gaze moved calmly from Xu Jiang's pen to her face.
People are born beautifully and naturally pure.
"Okay." Xu Jiang handed him the deed and found some oil paper to wrap it for him.
Her movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation, and she looked very pleasing to the eye.
The women Wu Qingye usually saw at the Jiaofang were all brightly dressed and charming. He believed he had seen more beautiful women than the average person, but the moment he saw Xu Jiang at Xiaozhuxi, he felt that all the women he had seen had lost their color.
At that time, she seemed to have emerged from the mountains, rivers and bamboos, with a pure and elegant beauty that made people forget the world. However, the fierceness she displayed at the elegant gathering made him look at her with new eyes, not seeing her as crude, but rather finding her more interesting.
After several conversations, I realized that she was avoiding me, but I also felt that she was smart.
He didn't want to get involved, but he happened to be in Yonghefang today, so he couldn't help but ask along the streets, as if there was a ghost following him.
Wu Qingye took the book handed to him by Xu Jiang and said with a smile, "When you finish reading it, come back to buy it from Shopkeeper Xu." After that, he bowed and said goodbye to her.
Be polite and courteous when coming and going.
Xu Jiang scratched his head. Is he really here to buy books?
After sending the person away, Liang Mo came out from the backyard and asked, "Were there any guests just now?"
"Yeah." Xu Jiang nodded, "I bought more than a dozen books."
"Who is so generous?"
Liang Mo walked to the door and took a look, but he saw a car turning in from the alley and heading straight towards the bookstore.
"Boss, a guest has arrived."
"Could it be that they have turned back again?" Xu Jiang went out to take a look, and saw that it was the carriage of the Mu Mansion, driven by a servant, and accompanied by two maids, who were the female relatives.
The carriage stopped in front of the shop. When the curtain opened, two little girls came out. Liang Mo quickly put down his sleeves and went to the backyard to avoid them.
Xu Jiang went up to them with a smile and helped them down. "Why did you two decide to come here today?"
After seeing her, Mulan He looked fine, but Mulan Jing looked ashamed and didn't dare to look up at her.
Seeing her like this, Xu Jiang knew what the two of them came to do today. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and then gently invited them into the bookstore.
As soon as Mulan Jing entered the bookstore, she bowed deeply to Xu Jiang, frightening her so much that she quickly helped her up. "Miss, what are you doing?"
Mulan He also bowed to Xu Jiang and said, "Sister Xu, I brought my younger sister here to apologize to you. I'm truly sorry."
"How have you done anything wrong to me? It's not your fault." Xu Jiang quickly pulled the two of them to sit at the table, then patted their hands and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Mulan Jing couldn't speak, she just kept crying.
Xu Jiang couldn't bear to see him, so she advised, "If you've come here about the calligraphy sheet, then listen to me. You simply bought the calligraphy sheet from me. It was a consensual transaction, and you didn't do anything wrong. Besides, it wasn't you who gave the calligraphy sheet to Zhou Shancai for copying, so you can't blame anyone, heaven or earth. Besides, even if Ji Sheng hadn't been here, my calligraphy sheet would inevitably be copied if it became known. With the market conditions, it's unavoidable. So don't blame yourself, and don't cry anymore. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
Mulan Jing was still crying and shaking her head.
Mulanhe wiped her tears and said to Xu Jiang, "Sister Xu, we're here today not only for the paper and music, but also for Zhao Xiu's cheating. We know you came to the mansion to look for Lan Jing and Auntie, but..." Mulanhe's round face also showed a trace of guilt, "It's not that Lan Jing doesn't want to see you, it's that he can't."
"How did you know?" Xu Jiang was slightly surprised. Then he glanced at the carriage outside the door and asked, "Did you tell your family that you came out today?"
The two shook their heads, and Mulan He said, "Lan Jing only knew you'd been here after she overheard the conversation between Uncle and Aunt. She originally wanted to come and see you secretly, but she couldn't leave the mansion. It wasn't until recently when the guards were lax that she begged me to take her home to relax while I was there."
"You are too bold." He had been lost once before, and he was still so careless. Although the imperial examination cheating incident was over, there was no saying that another disturbance would not arise. If the two girls were involved, wouldn't Mu Cong's forbearance be in vain?
Xu Jiang sighed, "What would you two do if I had bad intentions?"
Mulan Jing gestured a few times with her hands, and Mulan He said, "We know that my sister is not a bad person."
Xu Jiang didn't know what to say for a moment. After a pause, she said, "You should go back quickly and don't let your family worry."
Mulan He said, "We came here today, first, to apologize to your sister, and second, to give you something." Mulan He winked at her sister.
Mulan Jing then took out a stack of papers from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Jiang.
Mulanhe said, "This is an article written by Zhao Xiu, and also some things Lan Jing wrote about Zhao Xiu." She lowered her head and said, "It's too late to send it to you now, but Lan Jing still wanted to give it to you personally to ease his worries."
Xu Jiang took it but didn't open it immediately. Instead, she told the two of them, "I'll accept the gift, but from now on, don't get involved in these matters anymore. And don't tell anyone that you came to see me today, so as to avoid any trouble. Understand?"
Mulan Jing timidly held Xu Jiang's hand, her pair of black and white eyes filled with apology and emotion.
Mulanhe asked hopefully, "Can we come here again in the future?"
Xu Jiang shook her head and said, "It's best not to come." Fearing they might misunderstand, she added, "If you want to come, wait until the storm calms down."
