The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 94 Bookstore

 Chaohua Xiaozhu.

 A young boy ran in from outside the courtyard, his steps hurried.

“Sister Lian Xin, a bookkeeper came outside the house and said he was delivering account books to the second young lady.”

The boy took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Lian Xin.

Lian Xin reached out and took it, lowering her voice and saying: "I understand, I will give it to the second lady."

After saying that, she took out a little bit of silver from her sleeve and put it into the boy's hand, "I'd rather trouble you to run over. There's no need to tell anyone else about this."

 “Sister Xie Lianxin, I know.”

As soon as the boy touched the broken silver in his hand, his eyes narrowed with laughter.

After the boy left, Lian Xin looked at the account book in her hand, feeling a little confused.

 Why are you sending this account book to the lady?

 After taking a short nap, Su Leyun slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the couch.

Cuiliu hurriedly stepped forward to serve and said, "Miss, Lian Xin said before that someone sent this account book."

 “Account books?”

Su Leyun changed his clothes under Cui Liu's service and combed his messy hair.

Just then he left the dormitory and walked to the study on the side.

 The study room is still a bit messy. Previously, there was only a desk, but Su Leyun has been sorting it out in the past few days.

  Purchased something.

The account book was placed on the table. Su Leyun looked through it and saw that it looked like a certain bookstore. It recorded the records of many books entering and exiting the warehouse.

Su Leyun thought of something and took out a land deed from the small cabinet on the side.

“Miss, isn’t this the shop that my uncle gave you?” Cuiliu suddenly realized, “Could this account book belong to this shop?”

 “It should be.”

Su Leyun nodded and handed the account book and land deed to Cuiliu. "Just like the shops my mother gave me before, let's give them to Grandma Zhang for safekeeping."

 “Yes, Miss.”

Cuiliu reached out and took it, only to see a letter dropped in the account book.

 “Miss, there is a letter inside.”

Su Leyun was a little confused when he saw the envelope in Cuiliu's hand.

When I opened it, I saw it was a resignation letter.

The person who wrote the letter is Mr. Accountant.

The letter only said that he was going back to his hometown to retire, so he wanted to resign from his post as accountant, but there was something a little weird about what he said.

Su Leyun put the letter away and said, "Cuiliu, come with me out of the house."

 “I will go and arrange the carriage immediately.”

Cuiliu walked out and was stopped by Su Leyun again, "No need for a carriage, we can just walk there."

 The streets are very lively with people coming and going.

 Because of the Chinese New Year, lanterns were hung at the door of many shops.

The bookstore is located on Chang'an Street. When Su Leyun and Cuiliu approached, a middle-aged man pushed a scholar out.

 “Why are you coming to a bookshop if you don’t have money? Why don’t you leave quickly!”

 The scholar was pushed to the ground, and his already shabby clothes were stained in several places.

He was not annoyed at all, he just stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said with his hands: "Xiaosheng went to Beijing to take the exam. I only have so much money left on hand, but that book is really important to Xiaosheng. I hope the shopkeeper Can you please be accommodating and allow me to write it down?"

“Let’s go and ask around. There is no bookstore in the whole capital that will let you copy without paying me.”

 The middle-aged man waved his hands with an impatient look on his face.

The scholar looked embarrassed, but did not beg again. He put the box on his back and said, "It's the young man who disturbed me. I hope the shopkeeper can forgive me."

 Then, the scholar turned and left.

Su Leyun frowned slightly, "Shopkeeper, I paid for the books that the young master wanted to buy."

When the scholar heard this, he stopped and looked over in surprise.

“Miss, are you serious?”

 The middle-aged man was equally puzzled.

Su Leyun winked at Cuiliu, who took out a few taels of silver from his purse.

Cuiliu handed the silver coins to the middle-aged man, "Is this money enough?"

 “Enough is enough!”

The middle-aged man quickly reached out and took it, went into the library and took out the book the scholar wanted, and even delivered it to the scholar himself.

“Miss, this is your money.”

Su Leyun nodded, and Cuiliu took the change back from the middle-aged man's hand.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man turned around and entered the bookstore.

“I don’t know what to call this young lady? Xiaosheng Xu Chu, can you please leave your address? I will definitely give you some money after my birthday.”

 The scholar stepped forward and handed Su Leyun his hand.

Su Leyun felt that the name was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.

 “It’s just a book, nothing important.”

"Miss, what you said is wrong. It is just a book to you, but it is extremely important to Xiaosheng."

Xu Chu’s voice was loud and clear, and he had the character of a scholar.

Su Leyun had never been in contact with such a literate person in his previous life. Even Li Rui, who was born in a scholarly family, had an official style in his behavior and could not see the bearing of a scholar at all.

Looking at Xu Chu now, she found it very interesting.

“Mr. Xu is right, I’m telling you the truth. If you want to pay back the money one day, just come to this bookstore and see me.”

 After saying that, Su Leyun smiled and took Cuiliu into the bookstore.

Xu Chu was left alone at a loss. He looked at the book in his hand and then at the bookstore in front of him.

　　It seems that I have thought of it, but I don’t seem to understand it.

 Had to leave with confusion.

The middle-aged man was leaning in front of the counter. When he saw someone coming in, he did not raise his head and said casually: "Our store is a small business. If there are books you want to buy, please pay early."

 “Is Mr. Accountant here?”

Su Leyun stood in front of the counter and asked.

But his eyes were looking around. The interior of the bookstore was in a mess. Many books looked tattered, but the account book clearly showed that new books had been put into the library in the past two months.

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man raised his eyes and met Su Leyun's cold gaze, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

"Aren't you the lady just now? What are you doing with the accountant? If you don't want to buy books, please leave quickly."

 “Green willow.”

Su Leyun shouted.

Cuiliu came forward with the land deed and said, "This shop is now in our lady's name. As the owner, our lady wants to see the accountant. Is there no problem?"

"You...are you Miss Su Er who just came back?"

The middle-aged man looked at Su Leyun in surprise. Didn't he say he came back from the countryside? Why does this posture look no different from that of a young lady raised in the capital?

 “It’s just that I was blind and didn’t recognize Miss Su Er.”

 “Is Mr. Cashier in the shop?”

Su Leyun ignored the middle-aged man's flattery and just asked again.

 The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes, it's on the second floor. I'll take you up."

Going up the stairs, the decoration on the second floor is completely different from the one downstairs.

The window is bright and clean, and there is a light fragrance.

 The corridor is also decorated with many expensive vases.

Su Leyun saw it and remained silent.

 “Xiao Lin, Miss Su Er is here.”

　　The middle-aged man knocked on the door, his tone a bit urging.

There was a sudden noise in the house, as if someone knocked something over in a panic.

“Here, it’s a bit messy in there, maybe it needs to be tidied up. Second lady, please sit down for a moment.”

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly at Su Leyun, pointed to the seat by the window sill, and motioned to Su Leyun.
