Chapter 7, Release of Zhu Xian

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

At that moment, a simple-minded young man ran out from the backyard, looked at Old Wu, and grinned, saying: "Boss! What’s the matter?"

Gao Shan replied with a smile: "Alright!"

Li Qingya thought for a moment and placed Yaya in Zhang Mingxuan's arms. Zhang Mingxuan held Yaya, his body twisting and turning, humming a little tune, as he approached a beautiful little bird. Yaya giggled, reaching out to grab the birdcage and shaking it non-stop, which frightened the little bird inside, causing it to chirp in terror and flap its wings wildly. After a while, Old Wu entered the room carrying a pot of tea, and was startled by the sharp, frightened cries of the birds as soon as he came in. Upon seeing Old Wu, Zhang Mingxuan immediately released the poor little bird while still holding Yaya, and casually wandered around.

Upon seeing Old Wu, Zhang Mingxuan immediately released the poor little bird while still holding Yaya, and casually wandered around. Li Qingya smiled apologetically at Old Wu, who smiled back and walked to the tea table, pouring a cup of clear tea for Li Qingya.

Boss Wu could not understand why this name was not good; even if Gao Shan did not say it was excellent, it was still just average! However, seeing Zhang Mingxuan's serious demeanor, he decided to take note of it; perhaps changing the name would indeed be better!

Boss Wu also returned the gesture with a chuckle. Zhang Mingxuan stepped on the stool and leaped up, lifting the curtain to enter the carriage. Just as his head was about to go in, it was stopped by a finger as delicate as jade pressing against his forehead. Li Qingya looked at him calmly and said: "Outside!"

Li Qingya fixed her gaze on Boss Wu and said淡淡道: "How much?"

Li Qingya asked Wu Laodao: "How much is it in total?"

Old Wu said to Gaoshan: "You go and bring my cart over to send Miss Li and the others back."

After a while, Mr. Wu pushed the door open and walked in, saying to Miss Li Qingya: "Miss Li, the books have been printed."

Zhang Mingxuan said with a苦脸: "Please don't! There is still a lot of space inside!"

Li Qingya elegantly lifted the teacup and took a sip, saying: "Tea should be savored slowly"

Li Qingya exerted a slight force, and Zhang Mingxuan was pushed out

Boss Wu repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Forget it, forget it, Miss Li's visit to my humble abode is a favor to me, how could I possibly accept payment!"

Boss Wu choked for a moment, hesitated, and said: "Five hundred wen!"

Embarrassed!

Li Qingya replied: "He is my younger brother, a bit mischievous, and I hope Boss Wu will be understanding."

Boss Wu gestured, "Please come in"

Zhang Mingxuan stepped forward and said: "Sister, let me hold you for a while!"

Zhang Mingxuan replied, "My surname is Zhang, and I am the god younger brother of Sister Qingya."

Li Qingya took a sip of tea, set down her teacup, and also looked at Zhang Mingxuan, who was admiring the flowers with Yaya. Of course, it would be even better if he didn't pick the flowers.

Li Qingya shook her head and no longer spoke about tea culture with Zhang Mingxuan, as she could sense his lack of interest in the topic

Li Qingya stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Boss Wu said: "Miss Li, do you need help getting back to the bookstore?"

Anyway, I don't understand, I just think it smells quite good

Boss Wu said with a smile: "Good to see you, good to see you! You all enjoy your tea, I will go and attend to my work now"

Mr. Wu guided Miss Li Qingya to sit down and said, "Miss Li, I will go brew some tea, please make yourself comfortable."

Zhang Mingxuan, holding Ya Ya obediently, followed along. After the three of them went downstairs, they saw two neatly bound stacks of exquisite books placed in the lobby. On top of the books was a watercolor painting, with majestic mountains hidden in thick fog, appearing faintly. The two large characters "Zhu Xian" were printed on the cover.

Li Qingya helplessly said: "Yaya, be good! Don't make a fuss!"

Li Qingya, holding Yaya, lightly stepped onto the carriage by using the boarding stool beside it, lifted the door curtain, and entered inside

Boss Wu's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the falling petals and praised, "Young Master Li, you truly have a heart of innocence! Your childlike spirit remains untainted!"

Zhang Mingxuan quietly took two steps back, seriously lowering his head to tease Yaya. This is a skill learned at the dining table; at this moment, one should not speak too much, for a poor person has limited aspirations

It is unclear whether it is due to an inability to bear seeing Zhang Mingxuan harm his possessions, but Boss Wu hurriedly left

Boss Wu shouted: "High Mountain!"

Boss Wu, with a knowing expression, said: "Then I will trouble Young Master Zhang, Gaoshan, take it slow"

Zhang Mingxuan smiled and cupped his fists towards Boss Wu, saying: "We shall meet again!"

Zhang Mingxuan said earnestly: "Then let him change his name, this name is not good."

Zhang Mingxuan looked at the ever-smiling Boss Wu and Gao Shan, and immediately smiled as well, saying: "I will go ahead and guide Gao Shan."

Boss Wu lamented: "Indeed! His mother is seriously ill, his father has passed away, and he has two young children to care for. The entire family relies on him for support"

Zhang Mingxuan sat beside the tea table with Yaya in his arms, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and exclaimed, "The tea is quite good!"

Zhang Mingxuan let out a chuckle. Boss Wu, puzzled, asked: "Young Master Zhang, what is there to laugh about?"

Li Qingya took out the pouch hanging at her waist, retrieved a silver note from inside, and handed it to Boss Wu, saying: "Here you go!"

Li Qingya nodded slightly, and Mr. Wu slowly retreated. Yaya began to squirm restlessly in Li Qingya's arms, reaching out with both hands towards a beautiful little bird nearby, exclaiming indistinct words of "ah~ ah~".

Zhang Mingxuan took a look and exclaimed! The silver notes have all come out, this Tang Dynasty is truly prosperous! Li Qingya took Yaya from Zhang Mingxuan's arms, and Yaya was still giggling and reaching out her hands towards Zhang Mingxuan

Before long, Gao Shan arrived at the store entrance with a beautiful carriage, taking the initiative to load two bundles of books onto the carriage

The whip in the hand of the high mountain cracked in the air, as two tall horses slowly began to pull the carriage.

Li Qingya nodded and said, "Then I will trouble Boss Wu."

After Boss Zhou left with the manuscript, Boss Wu smiled and gestured to Li Qingya, saying: "Miss Li, please step into the tea room to rest for a moment"

Zhang Mingxuan waved his hand and smiled, saying: "No, it's nothing! I was just thinking of a joke from home. Life must be quite exhausting for those in their third year of high school!"

Looking at Zhang Mingxuan, he asked: "Who is this young brother?"

Zhang Mingxuan followed behind the two and went directly to the second floor, arriving at a small room. Upon opening the door, one was immediately struck by the sight: the four walls were covered with dense, lush green vines, interspersed with scattered small yellow flowers. A tea table was placed towards the inner part of the room, while the rest of the space was either adorned with various fresh flowers or hung with bamboo birdcages. The chirping of the birds was crisp, and the fragrance of the flowers and plants wafted through the air.

Li Qingya nodded and said, "You may do as you wish"

Li Qingya said to Zhang Mingxuan: "Alright, Mingxuan! Come here and behave for a while!"

Li Qingya entered while holding Yaya, with Zhang Mingxuan closely following behind. Yaya, with her curious big eyes, gazed at the flowers and birds, reaching out her hands to grasp at them, giggling incessantly. Not only Yaya, but even Zhang Mingxuan wore a face full of curiosity, looking around continuously

Li Qingya nodded and said, "Alright!"

The mountain smiled foolishly and said: "I know, boss! It's not the first time, I am always steady every time."
