Only this green, not disappointing the spring

As soon as Shuiyunjian's bookstore opened, it offended all the bookstores in the capital.

Because compared to the money needed to buy books, it is much more economical to pay a certain amount of money to read for free in a bookstore.

What's more, bookstores also provide the benefit of copying books in exchange for reading time, which makes it almost free.

This operation made the business of other bookstores obviously worse than before. The owners behind those bookstores were either ordinary wealthy businessmen or noble families.

Therefore, Shangguan Qingyue's actions undoubtedly offended many people.

Although she was engaged to the Third Prince, a lame prince who was about to be sent to a remote area to be a fiefdom was not really a threat to them.

So, the shop owners of several bookstores called their shop servants to gather in front of the door of Shuiyunjian, shouting for Shangguan Qingyue to come out and give them an explanation.

They were numerous and their voices were getting louder and louder, causing the customers in the store to frown. People left one after another, and in the end only a few curious people were left, constantly looking out.

Those scholars from poor families were so angry that they gathered together and came out of the store to argue with those people.

However, most scholars are introverted by nature, and they quickly lose the upper hand when they meet the shopkeeper who deals with customers all day long.

The tall but frail-looking scholar in the lead blushed and stamped his feet anxiously, repeating:

"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable!"

One of the short and fat stewards sneered sarcastically:

"My dear scholar, have you become stupid because of all the reading? We are all reasonable people, and it is you who are unreasonable.

You poor scholars speak for Shui Yunjian just because you get benefits. It is obvious that you are selfish. Have you read all the books of sages and saints?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate burst of laughter, especially from a tall and strong servant who laughed particularly loudly. If you didn't know, you would have thought these people were watching a circus.

The scholar was insulted in public and didn't know how to refute. In addition, the weather was hot and he was already dizzy under the scorching sun. He fainted without even being able to catch his breath!

The scholar behind him hurriedly carried the person back to the store, and the people from the bookstore took advantage of the chaos to follow him in.

At this time, the store had already replaced the carpet with a thin and soft light green crocheted carpet. The group of people squeezed in and instantly left dirty footprints.

The female shopkeeper has ordered someone to invite Shangguan Qingyue, and also sent someone to the Third Prince's mansion to deliver a letter. Jingzhao Prefecture is not far from the shop, so if the situation is not right, she will report to the authorities.

The reason why she didn't go out and argue with those people right away was because the owner had already explained it to her and everyone in the store before the bookstore opened.

If someone causes trouble, report to the police immediately and protect yourself. Your own safety is the most important.

With such a good boss, the female shopkeeper had long regarded herself as the boss's person. She even had the idea of ​​selling herself.

However, because my family members were not happy about it, I had to give up the idea temporarily.

Seeing the precious carpet being ruined by these people, the female shopkeeper's heart was bleeding. She finally couldn't help but yelled at these people:

"Everyone, stay where you are! You have soiled our carpet. No one is allowed to leave later. You all have to pay me for it!"

The scene was quiet at first, but then it became noisy again. Soon someone retorted:

"A woman has a louder voice than a man, and she is not ashamed! Do you think we are afraid of you just because you have a loud voice? What a joke!

If your husband's family knew about this, they would definitely divorce you. You will have a lot of fun crying in the future, you shrew!"

"Yes, yes! It's true that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. I heard that the owner of Shuiyunjian is a woman. She is really not presentable. She only knows how to use such shady means to steal business!"

"Why, did you all pop out from cracks in the rocks? No wonder you are so uneducated, you are all motherless!"

A cold and chilling voice penetrated the noisy sound and reached everyone's ears. Those people immediately turned around angrily, and one of them shouted:

"How dare you, a yellow-haired girl, speak such foul language? You are truly shameless!"

Seeing that the originally clean and beautiful carpet in the store was now dirty, Shangguan Qingyue became even more angry. She walked up to the person who was speaking and slapped him hard in the face.

"Since you are not happy with my dirty talk, I can just take action, right? If you dare to say another word, I will beat you up, believe it or not?!"

The man didn't expect that such a delicate little girl could be so aggressive and have such strong hands!

He covered his swollen cheek and felt his teeth were loose.

"You, you dare to hurt someone, I'm going to report it to the police!"

"Humph, you can't even take a slap from me, yet you dare to look down on a woman, you're such a loser!

I'll wait here and see who the government arrests!"

At this time, the female shopkeeper walked quickly to Shangguan Qingyue, followed by all the helpers in the store.

They blocked her tightly, their eyes were filled with anger, and they used their working tools as weapons to stare at the troublemakers, as if they were ready to fight to the death with anyone who dared to come forward.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a shrill voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

The scene was quiet at first, and the troublemakers began to panic. They just came to the store to make a few noises, how could they alarm the emperor? !

As a result, several people's knees went weak and they fell to the ground, their bodies shaking like sieves.

Shangguan Qingyue didn't have time to think about it, and walked out quickly, and then saw the eunuch Wang Gonggong holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand with a warm smile on his face.

"Miss Shangguan, please accept the imperial edict."

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

Here is a lady named Shangguan, who is of pure character, virtuous, kind-hearted, benevolent, and righteous, and deserves the emperor's grace. I, in accordance with the emperor's instructions, specially confer the title of Princess of Changning County, and grant her 100 hectares of fertile land, 1,000 taels of gold, and 500 ancient books to honor her virtue.

When this decree arrives, you must fulfill your duties conscientiously to repay the emperor's grace.

Admire this!

Xuanyuan Yan, standing in the crowd, looked at Shangguan Qingyue intently with a slightly raised mouth, feeling proud. Her little girl was naturally the best, and her father's evaluation was rarely so fair.

It was not until the crowd gradually dispersed that he slowly walked to the dazed little girl and gently rubbed her head with his hand.

“Returned to the spirit.

Are you so happy? Are you happier than receiving the imperial decree granting marriage?"

The little girl rolled her eyes at the other person first, then smiled brightly, grabbed the collar of the person next to her, and said in a skipping manner:

"Five hundred books! That's a full five hundred books! This way, we can fill up a lot of the empty bookshelves in the bookstore!

Alas, if Your Majesty could give me a few thousand copies, I don’t need the fertile land and money, and I don’t need the title either.”

Xuanyuan Yan found it funny, and just as he was about to say something, he saw a group of people walking out of the bookstore. These people were all timid, pushing and shoving each other, with guilty looks on their faces.

His face immediately darkened.

"Just now, were you the ones causing trouble? You even dared to bully my future princess. It seems that the master behind you doesn't take me seriously at all!

Good, very good! Go back immediately and tell your master a message, I, Xuanyuan Yan, will return them one by one!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knelt down and begged for mercy.

With the issuance of the imperial edict today, it is clear that the emperor not only has his eyes on the third prince, but also loves his future daughter-in-law very much.

Didn’t their actions today displease the emperor?

When I thought of this, I felt completely hopeless. Their master would definitely deny all responsibility for this matter, and I would undoubtedly become a scapegoat!

Then, for a while, there were sounds of begging and kneeling and kowtowing one after another.

Shangguan Qingyue felt a little bit reluctant. They were just following orders. If they lost their lives because of this, it would be too much.

Then she had an idea and clapped her hands suddenly. The crisp sound immediately made everyone stop.

"Everyone, I have an idea. If each of you can bring out a hundred books that are not available in the bookstore, we can write off today's incident.

If not, then be prepared to bear the prince's wrath."

Xuanyuan Yan took her hand lovingly, ignored these people, and walked into the bookstore.

The matter was eventually settled with each bookstore paying for the books, and the shelves of Shuiyunjian Bookstore were completely filled.

Three days later, the emperor set off for the Summer Resort outside Beijing, accompanied by the empress. The most surprising thing was that the third prince and his fiancée Shangguan Qingyue accompanied him.

People suddenly discovered that the third prince, who had not received much attention from the emperor in the past, had turned out to be a blessing in disguise since he became lame.

Therefore, we have to mention Imperial Concubine Jing. If she knew about this, I wonder if she would regret it.

It is not known whether Concubine Jing regretted her decision later, but the Fifth Prince's wife, now the Princess of the County, regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

Not only that, my life is almost gone.
