"Have they seen us too?" Li Xiaonan stretched her head to look.
"I think I saw it, don't look over there, let's just pretend we didn't see it!" Wan Qing lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes.
"If they see you seeing them, do you have to go over and ask for comfort or something?" Li Xiaonan also twisted her head and stopped looking over there.
"I'm on an errand, what kind of greeting can I ask for? Even if there is no errand, just avoid it with lowered eyebrows and eyes. It's called flattery to come over to greet me."
"In this case, why do you pretend you didn't see it?" Li Xiaonan immediately asked.
"Look over and make eye contact. What if she beckons? Should I go or not?" Wan Qing couldn't help but glance at Li Xiaonan.
"Yes, she is so thin and pitiful." Li Xiaonan couldn't help but glance at her again.
"Stop looking and walk quickly!" Wan Qing urged, quickening her pace.
Wan Qing followed the boy in the library, and Li Xiaonan followed Wan Qing into a library.
The waiter motioned to the long desk by the window, lowered his hand and retreated to the door.
"By the way, Shi Gun confessed that the prince said that there are not books in this building, but files. You can only read them but not copy them away." Wan Qing confessed and went to the tea table next to him to boil water and make tea.
.
There were dozens of books of different sizes and thickness piled on the long desk. Li Xiaonan found a place to sit comfortably and buried her head in reading.
It was not until I saw the sun setting in the west that I read only 12 out of 10 of the many brochures.
Li Xiaonan put down the booklet in her hand, stood up, turned her neck, swung her arms and twisted her waist.
"Tired?" Gu Yan's voice came from the door.
Li Xiaonan was shocked.
"Tomorrow I will ask you to learn Wu Qin Xi or Baduan Jin. Look at you like this." Gu Yan looked disgusted.
Li Xiaonan opened her mouth and was about to retort when she glanced at the booklet on the long desk from the corner of her eye and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Forget it, seeing that he was so considerate of her, I had to endure it.
Seeing that Li Xiaonan obviously took a breath, Gu Yan was a little surprised and looked at Li Xiaonan, "What? Not convinced?"
"You're right, thank you." Li Xiaonan pointed to the file on the long case and glanced at Shi Gun, who was standing at the door with his hands down.
Xie Shi was so quiet that the prince couldn't know, otherwise he would blame Wan Qing for talking too much, and he might even deduct Wan Qing's monthly payment.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, took a step closer, and looked at Li Xiaonan carefully, "Are you angry? Or did your eldest sister teach you a lesson?"
"None of them. You helped me pick out so many useful things. I didn't expect or know that you have these things at home." Li Xiaonan pointed to the long case.
"It turns out you are sensible." Gu Yan exaggerated, "It's really rare!"
Li Xiaonan glanced sideways at Gu Yan.
"How was your lunch? I'll give you another dinner? What do you want to eat?" Gu Yan sat on the large chair under the window.
Li Xiaonan hesitated.
"The prawns in this lake are excellent." Gu Yan followed closely.
"Let's make fried shrimps and add a spoonful of fermented bean curd." Li Xiaonan continued.
"It's quiet here, let's eat here." Gu Yan waved to Li Xiaonan to sit next to him, and pointed to a hill across the lake. Several houses on the hill matched the mountain and lake scenery very well.
"That's where my great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother died. Great-grandmother walked in front, fell asleep and never woke up, and died without any illness. A year later, great-great-grandmother passed away." Gu Yan's voice was full of indescribable emotion and emotion.
.
Li Xiaonan looked at the houses and the hill carefully, "Can a person really sit down and recede?"
"Well, my great-great-grandmother was not an ordinary person. My great-great-grandmother left a treasure for Prince Rui's palace." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Do you want to see it?"
"Can I see it?" Li Xiaonan was surprised, "Hidden in this building?"
"This treasure has been carried by Prince Rui of all generations." Gu Yan lowered his head, took off the narrow sword hanging in his gown, and handed it to Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan stood two steps forward and did not answer. She only stretched her head and looked carefully.
Gu Yan laughed, waited for her to see it, turned it over and let her see it again, and then looked again, Gu Yan gently pulled out half an inch, the narrow sword gleaming with cold light.
Li Xiaonan took two steps back and hissed subconsciously, "Put it away, it looks so painful."
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"This sword is so sharp that it hurts just by looking at it." Li Xiaonan stepped back again.
She was afraid of overly sharp blades and always subconsciously felt that the blade was going to pass through her chest, which was extremely painful just thinking about it.
Gu Yan sheathed his sword, held it in his hand, and looked at Li Xiaonan with an indescribable expression on his face, which seemed both joyful and sad.
She was a green sleeve who drank Meng Po Soup. She didn’t finish the bowl of Meng Po Soup, or the pain was too deep. Even after drinking a bowl of Meng Po Soup, she couldn’t completely wipe away the pain.
Green sleeves held the sword and stabbed it straight into the chest, and only murmured: It hurts a little.
It must have been extremely painful, she kept remembering it.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiaonan waved her hand in front of Gu Yan.
"Nothing. How is your business?" Gu Yan suddenly changed the topic.
"It's good. Everything that should come has come, just as expected." Li Xiaonan said vaguely, "Where is your Customs and Excise Department? You said you wanted them to fight last time, did they start a fight?"
Li Xiaonan didn't want him to know about the struggles she was facing. She felt that if he knew about it, he would probably refuse to stand up, but she didn't want him to get involved in these struggles. This was her business and she could handle it herself.<
/p>
"It was very ferocious, but fortunately I stopped it." Gu Yan said a few words about the sneak attack and capture that night, "...one person beat a few thorns, broke the skin and bled a little, and put them back." "Do you want the entire pier to be counted as one trip?" Li Xiaonan asked.
Gu Yan laughed and nodded.
Compared with Lu Xiu, she is smarter than anyone else.
"Then what's the next step? I always feel that the twists and turns in the middle must be more than just things like the dock. Are the people above the porters anxious?" Li Xiaonan thought for a while and asked.
"Well, let's see how they deal with the agencies one by one before we talk about the next step." Gu Yan said with a smile.
"Last time you said that the prince was coming?" Li Xiaonan leaned forward.
"Yeah."
"If he comes, will it be good or bad for you to investigate the Customs and Excise Department?" Li Xiaonan lowered her voice.
"Okay, but you have to make them feel that something is wrong." Gu Yan also leaned forward and lowered his voice.
"Then you want to act? Prince acting?" Li Xiaonan stretched her head further forward.
"Yeah! Smart." Gu Yan raised his hand and tapped Li Xiaonan's nose.
Shi Gun brought a few boys in, carried a round table, and quickly set up the array. It was already dark, so the boys lit candles, and the food was quickly served.
In the water pavilion in the distance, in the darkness, Mrs. Shi was half sitting and half lying on the couch, looking at the silhouette-like figures on the windows of the library. The figures kept shaking, just like when she was a child.
