Just like yesterday, Xu Xian continued to immerse himself in the joy of copying books. He even had a preliminary grasp of the literary style that suddenly appeared.
Xu Xian was familiar with the day's work. At the same time, he was slowly consolidating his state. This mysterious feeling made him unable to stop.
As for what had happened this morning, he had already forgotten about it when he picked up the brush and ink. It was as if the book in front of him was his life.
While Xu Xian was busy writing, Sun Cheng was like an ant on a hot pan. His slightly fat body paced back and forth in front of the bookstore, looking at the street in the distance from time to time.
Sun Cheng's uneasy appearance seemed to be waiting for someone, and he seemed quite anxious.
When it was close to noon, the crowd on the street finally dispersed a little. Although the ancients did not have the habit of eating lunch, they still could not resist the sleepiness brought by the sun.
The streets were filled with pedestrians. Sun Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had seen something surprising.
Following Sun Cheng's gaze, a luxuriously decorated carriage slowly approached. The snow-white horse raised its proud head and knocked its iron hooves on the bluestone floor, making a tapping sound.
All of this seemed to indicate that the owner of the carriage was unusual. At least, such a formation was rarely seen in Qiantang County.
The coachman gently pulled the reins in his hand, and the white horse stopped. It kept snorting, as if it was enjoying the afternoon sun, and even a little sleepy.
The golden beaded curtain and the light blue gauze contrasted against each other, shining in the golden light. Even the passersby could not help but rub their sleepy eyes.
With the crisp sound of wind chimes and beaded curtains colliding, a woman in a red pleated skirt appeared. With the help of a servant girl, she slowly leaned out.
The person was wearing a golden hairpin on his head, and his hair was gently tied up. His eyebrows were like the willows in spring, and there was a faint sadness that no one knew about. Under the red long dress, his skin was even more smooth, gentle, and luxurious.
The pedestrians on the road stopped in their tracks for a moment. Such a graceful beauty should be a fairy from heaven.
Sun Cheng immediately put away his anxious expression and hurriedly went forward to bow."Aunt, you're finally here. I've been waiting for a long time and thought that since the end of the year was coming, you wouldn't be able to leave.”
Although the newcomer was only in his twenties, the middle-aged Sun Cheng was extremely respectful, as if he was trying to curry favor with his elders.
The woman in front of him was called Wan Qing, and she was Sun Cheng's real aunt. As for why there was such a big age difference, this was naturally a common phenomenon in feudal society.
After seeing how extraordinary Xu Xian was yesterday, Sun Cheng immediately had an idea. The Sun family had been businessmen for several generations. Naturally, they would remember the principle of rare goods.
After pondering for a long time, Sun Cheng sent someone to inform his aunt, Sun Wanqing, overnight. As for his thoughts, Sun Cheng did not dare to say it out loud because his aunt was the head of the Sun family.
"Oh? I heard that your bookstore received a handwriting weighing eight pounds. Do you know which gentleman left it?”Sun Wanqing stood there, allowing the servant girl behind her to help her tie her cloak.
Sun Cheng was naturally prepared. He hurriedly bent down and made an inviting gesture."It's cold outside, please come inside.”
Sun Wanqing's eyebrows curved as she entered the bookstore. She had really encountered trouble recently. Otherwise, she would not have rushed from Lin 'an Prefecture to Qiantang County overnight. She was really hoping that she would be lucky.
"Don't be long-winded. Tell me the whole story. If you really helped aunt this time, I'll make the decision to let you return to the family!”Sun Wanqing went straight to the point.
When Sun Cheng heard that he could return to the residence of Lin An, his trembling body almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared in advance, so he did not make a fool of himself.
Sun Cheng took out the package that he had treasured and untied the brocade on it with trembling hands. Inside was the book that Xu Xian had copied yesterday.
"Aunt, please take a look. These are all ordinary papers, but they weigh a total of eight catties. It's really unbelievable.”Sun Cheng held the book with both hands and said slowly.
Sun Wanqing couldn't wait any longer and snatched the seemingly ordinary book in front of her. Although she had prepared beforehand, she was still shocked by the book in her hand.
Sun Wanqing's breathing quickened as she weighed the weight in her hand. Her usually calm voice trembled as she said,""Where did you get this?"
Sun Cheng naturally knew how powerful his aunt was, but when he saw her reaction, he felt lucky. He quickly straightened his body and said mysteriously,"Aunt, don't be anxious. Please follow me.”
Under everyone's strange gazes, Sun Cheng led the way with a smug expression. However, his gentle manner also affected Sun Wanqing and the others.
Sun Wanqing seemed to have guessed something and said doubtfully,""Except for Cai 'Er, the rest of you will guard outside. Even if the sky falls, you are not allowed to move!”
The guards didn't show any expression as they respectfully retreated to the outside of the bookshop. They only brought their servant Cai into the back room.
The three of them walked along the corridor in silence. In the quiet space, Sun Wanqing could even hear her own heartbeat speeding up, and her footsteps could not help but become lighter.
After turning into a corridor, the anxious Sun Wanqing finally saw the target of her trip. However, as she looked at the ordinary figure, her expression became gloomier and gloomier.
The huge sense of loss in her heart made Sun Wanqing almost faint. She did not care that there were outsiders in the room and pointed at Sun Cheng's nose and scolded,"You, a run-down family, found such a person to stall me?”
The temperature in the room instantly dropped to the freezing point. Sun Cheng wanted to explain, but when he saw the pair of Jade Rakshasa-like eyes, he was so scared that he couldn't speak.
"This kind of trash? May I ask if this lady is really talking about this boy?”A sudden voice broke the awkward atmosphere in the room.
Looking at the source of the voice, he saw Xu Xian standing in front of the desk with a stunned expression. His slender finger was pointing at his nose, as if he was asking Sun Wanqing who had suddenly appeared.
Before Sun Cheng could thank Xu Xian for his help, he heard Sun Wanqing turn around and sneer,""Who else do you think I'm talking about? Is there anyone else in this room?"
Xu Xian was also confused for a moment. He had been copying books, and this girl suddenly barged in and shouted. Although she was pretty, she couldn't be so overbearing, right?
Xu Xian was born with a big heart, and after experiencing such a ridiculous thing as transmigration, he had long practiced the ability to be calm and calm.
Ignoring the shrew who had appeared out of nowhere, Xu Xian pretended not to see her. He picked up his brush and ink again and started writing on the blank book. After all, who could not get along with money?
Such an action fell into Sun Wanqing's eyes and instantly ignited the anger in her heart. She was a famous figure in Lin An House. When had she been ignored like this?
She had thought that the person Sun Cheng had introduced would at least be a great scholar, but she did not expect him to be a hothead. Moreover, judging from his attire, he looked like a poor scholar. Thinking of this, Sun Wanqing wished she could burn this place down.
"Aunt, please calm down, Xu Xian…"
"Shut up!"
Sun Cheng was interrupted before he could finish his sentence. Sun Wanqing dragged her long dress to Xu Xian and sneered,""Are you going to tell me that this little brat has comprehended the art of literature? Do you think all great scholars come out of rocks?”
There were only a few great scholars in the Great Song. Most of the talented scholars had never been able to comprehend the literary spirit in their entire lives. The only great scholars had to go through decades of being nourished by the literary spirit before they had the ability to reach the heavens.
The young scholar in front of her couldn't possibly be the person she was looking for. Sun Wanqing's tone became even colder.
When the atmosphere dropped to the freezing point, Xu Xian still looked calm and did not even look up.
"Please make way!"
In the room, except for Xu Xian, who was still calm and collected, Sun Cheng and Cai widened their eyes. In their memory, no one had ever dared to talk to Jade Rakshasa like this.
Sun Wanqing's brows were tightly furrowed, and her phoenix eyes seemed to pierce through Xu Xian's thin body." Say that again?"”
"What I mean is that you're blocking my vision. It's not good for my eyes!”Xu Xian said without changing his expression.
