Chapter 860 Kicked away
When the waiter saw the big business, his eyes narrowed with joy, and he said in a high voice, "Okay, madam, please wait a moment, the waiter will go get it now."
Although they sold these books and the shop did not make a penny, they all sympathized with the Xu family and were willing to help the Xu family.
In the beginning, when the Xu family was not in poverty, they helped them a lot. Every time they came to buy things, they would give them a few pennies to spend.
Now that the Xu family is in trouble, they sympathize with them and want to help them more.
The waiter quickly brought over a dozen books.
The waiter put down the book and said, "Master, madam, all the books copied by Mr. Xu are here. There are still them in the house, but they are all the same. The younger one only brought one set for madam."

Xia Zihan turned over the biographies one by one and found that they were all biographies of famous people, and they were all unique. Although they were handwritten copies, not original copies, they were still very precious. At that time, she felt like she had found a treasure.
Seeing that she liked it, Chu Jingqi decided to buy all these books.
"Take out whatever you have left in the house. We'll take them all," he said to the waiter.
The waiter responded with sparkling eyes, his voice trembling with excitement, "Master, wait a moment, there are quite a few more in there, a total of twelve sets, please take them out."
There are more than ten sets, which is more than a hundred copies, and more than a thousand taels of silver.
This little money is nothing but a drop in the bucket for both Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan.
But for the Xu family, who were already sunset and were waiting for money to make a living, this was a great thing to provide help in times of need.
There were one hundred and sixty-eight books in total. After the waiter carefully put all the books into the wooden box, he said diligently, "Which house do you belong to? I will send the books to your house before evening."
"No need." Chu Jingqi waved her hand, and three secret guards who were still empty-handed outside the door walked in. They had exactly three boxes, each of them carried one, turned around and walked out.
Chu Jingqi took out a thick stack of silver notes from her arms, counted them, a total of one thousand six hundred and eighty taels, and handed them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was holding more than a thousand taels of silver, looking a little dazed in disbelief. He counted it twice before sending Chu Jingqi and the others out of the study door with a smile.
When Xia Zihan stepped out of the gate, he suddenly turned around and asked the waiter, "Where does the Xu family live in the east of the city?"
"It's the fifth house in the third alley in the east of the city. Madam, do you know the Xu family?" You should know them. If you don't know them, how could you secretly help the Xu family?
You know, these books in the Xu family have been in the study room for a long time, almost a year ago, and not many copies have been sold.
Although these books are not expensive, there are not many people studying in Ningfengcheng, and there are not many scholars who have spare money to buy these handwritten biographies.
At first, the Xu family bought about ten units and sold them all. However, it took them a year and a half to sell eight of the twenty units.
In the past few months, not a single copy has been sold.
Xia Zihan and his group had just walked out of the study. The secret guard who had gone to deliver things back to the inn had already returned. The secret guard reported Qian Hongyan's story.
"Chuan Qiong is watching from the inn. The Qian girl doesn't dare to break in. She is waiting in the lobby for the princess to return." The secret guard reported.
Xia Zihan frowned, "Which piece of clothing?"
"Master, is this the purple dress you are wearing?" Chu Lin asked.
After buying this purple dress, Xia Zihan wanted to wear it for Chu Lin. Chu Lin refused to wear it, but asked Xia Zihan to wear it to lunch.
Several maids helped her change it. Xia Zihan had no choice but to let it go and it didn't matter.
However, on the way to the restaurant, he met Chu Jingqi who was coming back. After seeing a flash of surprise in Chu Jingqi's eyes, Xia Zihan felt that being forced to wear this dress by Chu Lin was too much. It’s worth it.
Chu Lin sneered and said with a bad face, "Let me just say, that woman is not a good bird at first glance, and she even chased her into the inn. Humph, the clothes we bought with money were not stolen or robbed. She Why do you say it’s hers?”
When a group of people returned to the inn, Qian Hongyan was almost impatient with the wait.
If she hadn't known that Chu Yuexi was a handsome guy upstairs, she would have demolished the inn regardless of its image.
Therefore, when she saw Xia Zihan and a group of people walking into the inn, and Xia Zihan was still wearing her clothes, the anger she had been holding in suddenly burst out.
She rushed to Xia Zihan angrily, pointed at her dress and said, "Who asked you to wear my clothes? This is my favorite dress, how can you wear it?"
Especially after seeing Xia Zihan wearing that dress, her pretty face looked even more charming and graceful. The jealousy in her eyes surged out like a flood, "Take it off quickly, this dress is yours too." A bitch can wear something worthy of you...ah..."
Just as she was about to reach out to grab Qian Hongyan's clothes, she was kicked out by Chu Jingqi with a sinister look on her face.
Chu Jingqi's face was as cold as ice, and she kicked Qian Hongyan away. Without even looking at Qian Hongyan, she said, "Fox, I'll leave this matter to you." Then she led Xia Zihan upstairs. .
Xia Zihan squeezed his palm and said, "Don't be angry. If you get angry because of an irrelevant woman, I will feel bad for you."
"Hmph, a bitch is worthy of shouting in front of you." Chu Jingqi snorted angrily.
He just couldn't bear to hear someone scolding his Ayu. When he heard someone scolding Ayu, he couldn't help but want to hit them.
He still beats women.
Xia Zihan felt sweet being cared for by her husband like this. However, when she thought about what happened today, it was all because of the clothes she was wearing, and she didn't like it a little bit.
When she returned to the guest room, she took off her purple dress and put on another light green dress.
He called Chu Cong in and threw the purple dress to her, "Send this dress to that girl and treat it as compensation for her medical expenses."
Just now, she saw that the woman's head hit the table leg after being kicked away by Chu Jingqi, and she seemed to have lost a lot of blood.
Chu Cong took the clothes and said yes.
Xia Zihan took Chu Jingqi in the house to sort out a lot of things she bought today.
"I bought you half a pound of fine Longjing. Let's soak it and see how it tastes." Xia Zihan said happily.
There was hot water in the room. Xia Zihan used the newly bought tea set to make a pot of tea with his own hands, and brought out two plates of dried fruits and snacks. The couple sat in the room drinking tea and chatting.
I don’t know how Fox dealt with Qian Hongyan’s matter. In short, the Qian family didn’t come to trouble them, and they even sent someone to deliver a thousand taels of silver for the clothes in question.
Xia Zihan said, "I don't need the money, but this is the first time someone dares to grab my clothes and say they belong to her. I admire Miss Qian's courage."
