  Chapter 87 Past events

   "Thinking of me?" Xin You lowered the corners of her raised lips, "What did they say?"

   "Just say—" Duan Yunlang glanced at He Qingxiao, "Cousin, why don't we go talk in the room."

  Xin You nodded slightly, and said to He Qingxiao: Master He, do as you please. "

  He Qingxiao: "..."

  He watched the two walk into the reception room, silently went to the depths of the bookshelf and picked up the travel notes.

  In the reception room, Xin You unhurriedly poured Duan Yunlang a cup of tea: "Cousin, speak slowly."

  Duan Yunlang drank a few sips of tea, and said exactly what he heard when he met Queen Qing.

   "Cousin, I'm worried that King Qing is plotting something wrong."

  Xin You held up the teacup, calmly said, "Cousin, don't think too much, I hear they are mainly curious, after all, the owner of such a big bookstore is rarely a girl my age."

   "It's okay if they're just curious, but I'm afraid they'll work hard when they're curious. It's going to be hard to tell after a long time."

  Originally, Duan Yunlang was clueless about this aspect, but after reading too many books, the elm bump also developed a bit of insight.

  In his opinion, Dai Ze's virtue when he was inquiring about his cousin just now is exactly like the bully in the book who is obsessed with **** and wants to beat a mandarin duck with a stick.

  As for the other mandarin duck that is paired with the cousin—

  Duan Yunlang really couldn't think of anyone, so he thought of himself.

   Ah bah, they are brother and sister!

  He thought of He Qingxiao again.

  Bah, bah, Jin Linwei and Dai Ze are in the same category!

  I don't want to think about it, after all, my cousin will have a good relationship in the future, so these people can't let these people think about it.

   "Cousin, don't worry, I am a relative of the imperial court official after all, and there will be no such thing as robbing civilian girls."

  For her, the visit of King Qing and the son of Gu Changbo is not only a trouble, but also a surprise.

  Zheng worried that he had no excuse to ask Mr. He about them, and even more worried that he didn't have the opportunity to contact them. It would be great if those two people come here often in the future.

   "Cousin, are you really not worried at all?" Duan Yunlang saw that Xin You's calmness was not a lie.

   "It will be fine, as long as my cousin doesn't talk nonsense when he gets home."

  Duan Yunlang couldn't figure out the relationship for a while.

  Xin You bluntly pointed out: "If my uncle misunderstood what my cousin said, what if I am happy to have something to do with the royal family or the Guchangbo Mansion?"

   "Don't worry, cousin, I promise not to tell." Duan Yunlang said immediately.

   "Guozijian can't be out for too long, cousin, go back quickly."

  Duan Yunlang walked to the door, belatedly realizing that his cousin didn't think much of his uncle. He opened his mouth to persuade, but finally gave up.

   As for the things that happened at the uncle's house, I don't blame my cousin for being vigilant.

  Send Duan Yunlang out of the bookstore, and Xin You returns.

   "Has Mr. He left?"

  Seeing Shopkeeper Hu's gaze towards the bookshelf, Xin You understood.

   Before she could go to the bookshelf, He Qingxiao came out.

   "Master He, do you have time to chat?"

  He Qingxiao didn't leave because he had something to say to Xin You, so he wouldn't refuse.

  Xin You invited him to the reception room, where there was still a cup of tea on the table.

   "Liu Zhou, come clean up."

   Soon Liu Zhou came in to clean up the table and brought new tea.

  Xin You held the teacup and lowered her eyes slightly: "I just heard what my cousin said, and I was a little worried. Would Mr. He tell you about the two guests who came to the door today?"

  He Qingxiao was silent.

  To be honest, not only did he not see Miss Kou's worry, he even saw that she was in a good mood...

  Though he thought so, he still asked, "What does Miss Kou want to know?"

   "I heard from my cousin that the young man in blue is surnamed Dai, and he is the son of Gu Changbo. I don't know what his temperament is. Has he ever bullied others?"

"His name is Dai Ze, and he is Gu Changbo's youngest son. Gu Changbo had two sons, and the eldest son died unexpectedly a few years ago. Gu Changbo's mansion is very indulgent to the only remaining son. Dai Ze has the dignity that a dude should have. All the qualities, I have done things to moles the girls..."

  Xin You listened carefully, feeling a little delicate.

   I don't know if it's superfluous, but I always feel that Mr. He's explanation is too detailed.

  Well, maybe this is also the quality of Jin Linwei.

   "Daize's situation is almost the same. Is there anything else Miss Kou wants to ask?"

  Xin You really wanted to ask Uncle Gu Chang more, after all, if she had to inquire about the seemingly casual information from He Qingxiao's mouth, it would take a lot of work.

   Reason stopped her.

  She asked Dai Ze, and she could still say that the other party came to the bookstore to buy the script forcibly today, worried that there would be troubles in the future, and asking around Uncle Gu Chang might arouse He Qingxiao's suspicion.

   "What about King Qing? What kind of person is he?"

  He Qingxiao looked at Xin You with gentle eyes, but his words carried a warning: "Miss Kou, try to stay away from King Qing as much as possible, and if you really can't avoid it, don't conflict with him."

  Xin You was silent for a moment, and met those gentle eyes: "Is King Qing so scary?"

Xu was worried that Xin You didn't take it seriously, so He Qingxiao talked about King Qing in more detail: "There are six princes in total today, the eldest prince Xiu Wang, who is eighteen years old this year, the second prince Qing Wang, who is seventeen years old this year, and the next few princes The oldest third prince is only ten years old, so King Qing is highly valued by the emperor."

   "What about King Xiu? King Xiu is the eldest son, so he is valued more by today's emperor?"

  He Qingxiao's answer was beyond Xin You's expectation: "That's not the case, today I'm relatively indifferent to King Xiu."

  Xin You showed doubts on his face, and He Qingxiao suddenly smiled: "I said this, it's a bit outrageous."

   "I won't disclose it to the third party, Mr. He, please rest assured." Xin You hurriedly added tea.

  He Qingxiao lowered his eyes, avoiding the girl's anxious eyes, the tea in front of him was turbulent due to the addition of water.

   "Actually, it's not a secret, but as time goes on, no one mentions it."

  At his age, he knows all this because of Aunt Gui.

   "Miss Kou should know that the status of women in today's dynasty has improved greatly compared to the previous dynasty, thanks to the empress, right?"

  Xin You nodded slightly and lowered her eyes.

  She dared not let him see the emotion in her eyes.

"The Empress is a strange woman. She married Jinshang at the end of his life and helped Jinshang achieve great things. In those years, the Empress Empress never gave birth to children. Finally, I advise you to fill the harem today."

   "Then I will accept the harem today, three thousand beauties?"

  He Qingxiao could hear the strong displeasure in the girl's cool tone, and couldn't help but think of Aunt Gui's angry tone when she mentioned this to him.

  He couldn't help but bend the corner of his lips.

  Xin You's pupils trembled.

   Speaking of Jiali Sanqian, she couldn't help laughing. Did this person forget that he is not the emperor?

Sensing that Xinyou's expression was wrong, He Qingxiao suppressed his smile and continued: "I refused, and there is only the empress in the harem. But as time went by, more and more people advised me, and the queen mother also spoke. Ascension to the throne In the second year, unable to withstand the pressure of having no successors, he recruited a few women and placed them in Yiyuan..."

  Xin You listened and smiled mockingly.
