Same time, different place.

The same thing was happening in more than one inn in Yanjing City. Several inns were filled with exclamations at the same time. For a moment, all the inns in Yanjing were in a frenzy.

Not only the inn, but even Jinbang Road was congested, and the entrance to Wanshu Pavilion was completely blocked.

The people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside were trying desperately to squeeze in.

When they heard about the price of books, not only the scholars going to Beijing for the imperial examinations, but all the people in Yanjing rushed to the Wanshu Pavilion.

No wonder they were so excited.

Nowadays, an ordinary family in the Great Yan Dynasty could earn two to three taels of silver a month. If a family has children who want to go to school, they need to buy books. The Four Books and Five Classics alone would cost an ordinary family two years' income.

These are just books, not including pens, ink, paper and inkstone, especially paper, which is consumed very quickly.

So when they heard that the books in Wanshu Pavilion were much cheaper than those elsewhere, regardless of whether there was anyone in their family who was going to take the imperial examination or not, they all rushed to Jinbang Road and tried their best to squeeze into Wanshu Pavilion, fearing that if they were a little late, the books would be sold out.

Gu Jue, who was originally on the second floor, felt his head throbbing with pain as he listened to the noisy noises downstairs. The things he was holding in his hands were about to burst.

Veins popped up on his forehead, and finally he felt so annoyed that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he left.

Seeing the person who just said that he would stay in the library for the next few days, he turned around and left through the small door without any reluctance. Cheng Cheng's mouth couldn't stop twitching.

Seeing Gu Jue leave, Cheng Cheng originally wanted to endure it a little longer.

As a result, the more he listened, the more annoyed he became. Finally, Cheng Cheng couldn't bear it anymore and left the second floor and went to the backyard.

In the backyard, I didn’t expect that Cha Cha and Lan Xing would come.

"How come you two busy people have time to come here?" Cheng Cheng looked puzzled. He had specifically talked to them yesterday, but they both said they were very busy and might not be able to spare the time. So, how come they are all here now?

"In just half a day, you've become famous in Yanjing. If we don't come over, can you hold on?" Cha Cha pointed at the shop in the front yard, looking joking.

Hearing this, Cheng Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You guys came just in time, I was almost driven crazy by the noise, my head was buzzing, I was about to explode."

"Linglong was here just now, but she couldn't stand the noise and left. She originally planned to stay here for a whole day, but ended up being unable to bear it after staying for just over an hour."

Hearing Chengcheng's complaints, Chacha couldn't help but laugh out loud, "We dropped what we were doing and came to help because we know your personalities."

Seeing this, Lanxing nodded in approval.

In fact, he and Cha Cha were really busy today, as they had to check accounts and transport a batch of jewelry.

But after hearing about what happened here, they both decided to put down what they were doing and come here to help.

Chengcheng and Linglong are both people with extremely strong internal strength, and are extremely afraid of noise. The sound was so loud that it filled the entire street and could even be heard outside the street. It would be strange if these two people were not annoyed.

Moreover, Linglong's injuries have not healed yet, and she has no patience, which might affect her recovery.

However, he was a little confused, "What's the matter with the string of Buddhist beads in Linglong's hand?"

Hearing Lanxing's question, Chengcheng was stunned for a moment. Then, after he realized what it was, there was hesitation on his face. He was also puzzled.

"I'm also curious. I wanted to ask, but it was too noisy outside and I forgot. I've never seen Linglong wear that string of Buddhist beads before. This is the first time I've seen it today."

Lan Xing frowned slightly, thought about it, and then relaxed after a while. "It should have been brought back from Qianyuan. Linglong went to Qianyuan a few days ago, probably for this."

"What? Isn't Linglong still seriously injured? Why is she still going to Qianyuan?"

Cha Cha looked unconvinced.

"I don't know either. Er mentioned it in a letter he sent back from Qianyuan a few days ago, and I just found out about it." Lan Xing was actually a little angry. He was angry that Gu Jue was running around even though he was seriously injured, and he was even more angry that Gu Jue didn't take care of his body.

However, when he thought of Gu Jue, whom he had just met, Lan Xing was not so angry anymore.

Linglong seemed to have changed a little. Although she was weaker, her aura seemed to have changed and become a little gentler. The aura around her body also became better. Although it was still very depressing, it was not as depressing as before.

"How is Linglong's injury? It takes at least three days to get from Yanjing to Qianyuan. Linglong is seriously injured. Even with shadow guards, it will take at least four or five days. It's only been about ten days, and Linglong has been to Qianyuan. Can Linglong's body withstand it?"

Listening to the conversation between Lanxing and Chacha, Chengcheng, who knew a little about the inside story, didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being implicated.

"Well, Linglong should be fine. When I was with Linglong just now, there was no other difference between Linglong's body and her body except that she was a little weaker and had a stronger smell of medicine on her body." Chengcheng explained seriously.

But, I didn’t expect that what I got was two cold eyes.

Seeing the two rolling their eyes at him, Cheng Cheng curled his lips and said, "That string of Buddhist beads should be brought back by Linglong from Lingyuan Temple in Qianyuanzhou. The amulet I gave you before also came from there. That temple is very effective. All my wishes have come true."

Speaking of this, Cheng Cheng couldn't help feeling proud.

"What wish?" Cha Cha asked puzzledly.

Cheng Cheng was full of joy. "My bookstore is packed with people. The books in the bookstore are very popular and sold out. All these have come true. Look how hot it is outside."

Now the two were completely helpless. They said nothing. After looking at Chengcheng speechlessly, they went to the stairs leading to the second floor together.

Cheng Cheng was left with a look of wanting to say something but hesitating.

He hadn't finished speaking yet, why did he leave?
