Although Li Yanqing was extremely big, he could not leave this little lady alone. After all, she was only seven years old. If she fell into the hands of someone with bad intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable. How could he explain to the Cao family?

Li Yanqing couldn't help but complain that the Cao family was not strict in their control and actually let a seven-year-old girl slip out of the mansion casually. He had to remind the Cao family that this kind of thing could not happen again.

No matter how much he complained, he still had to properly solve the problem in front of him. If he wanted to make his mother come home happily, he had to meet her requirements. Li Yanqing had to call a ox cart and take Cao Jiaojiao to Daxiangguo Temple.

Next to Daxiangguo Temple is Shuyuan Street, a famous bookstore street in the capital. Nearly a hundred bookstores of large and small are concentrated on both sides of this street, which is more than one mile long.

Although it was noon at this time, it was not a holiday. There were not many customers on Shuyuan Street, and Shuyuan Street was relatively quiet, without the noisy and bustle in the tiled store. This is also the book shop that most scholars have their own habits, and the book shops do not deliberately compete for customers on the street.

"Jiaojiao, which bookstore do you usually go to?" Li Yanqing asked the little girl with a smile.

"This is my first time here, Brother Li will take me there! It's OK."

"Okay! Let's go to Shilinyuan."

Li Yanqing pointed to a large book shop in front of him. He had always had a special relationship with Shilinyuan Bookstore. When he visited bookstores in Beijing, he usually went to Shilinyuan, but he hadn't been here for almost half a year.

Shilinyuan ranks fifth in the capital. After years of development, it has its own branches in every important city in the world.

The bookstore was very quiet. They seemed to have just entered a large number of new books. Two friends were busy sorting out and sorting them out. At this time, the shopkeeper quickly came out from behind the seat.

"Welcome! Welcome!"

Li Yanqing was slightly stunned. This was not the shopkeeper before, and the voice sounded a little familiar. He looked at the old man with white hair carefully and suddenly said, "Are you... shopkeeper Luo?"

"Officials know me?"

"You used to be the shopkeeper of Shi Linyuan, Tangyin County!"

"Yes! The official is also from Tangyin County."

Li Yanqing laughed, but unexpectedly met an old friend here many years ago, "Does Manager Luo still know me?"

"I also think the officials look familiar. I should have seen them, but I can't remember them."

Li Yanqing suddenly saw a thick stack of "The Great Sage's Monster Hunting" next to him, so he picked up a book and smiled: "Do you still remember this book?"

Storekeeper Luo suddenly had memories, and he said excitedly: "I remember, you are Li Shaolang!"

"That's right! Manager Luo finally remembered me."

"How could I forget it? I've been entrusting Li Shaolang's blessing in my life. We haven't seen each other for nearly ten years!"

"It's been a long time since Manager Luo's hair has turned white."

"Yes! Li Shaolang's appearance has changed a lot, and I can't recognize it anymore. Li Shaolang quickly asks you to sit here!"

Li Yanqing saw that Cao Jiaojiao was already sitting on the stool beside her reading a book. The book in her hand was her own "The Great Sage's Monster Hunt: Red Boy", and she was enjoying it.

Li Yanqing did not disturb her, sat down aside, and asked with a smile: "Is this book still sold?"

"This book has been selling the most popular for so many years. Other novels of monsters are far inferior to it. Our Shilinyuan can become the fifth largest bookstore in the world today because of it."

"This is a bit exaggerated!"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. I know best that if it weren't for this book, I could have been promoted to the great shopkeeper of the capital?"

"Where was the shopkeeper Luo before? It seems that Shilinyuan in Tangyin County has been replaced long ago."

"I worked in Daming Mansion for a few years before, and then transferred to Taiyuan for a few years. Before coming to the capital, I was in Yingtian Mansion and was transferred to the capital last month. What is Li Shaolang doing now? Are he still writing a book?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I passed the Jinshi exam in the first exam last year!"

"Oh my!"

Manager Luo stood up in shock, "It turns out that Young Guan Li has become an official, so I should call you Li Guan Li talent!"

Li Yanqing pulled him down and said, "Shopkeeper Luo is my old friend. My father has always been obsessed with you. He said that the most difficult time he was thanks to you who gave him a way to copy books, otherwise we would really not be able to survive."

"Hey! Life is like this. There are ups and downs. Who can be glorious for the rest of your life? Who will be unlucky for the rest of your life? Back then, I told your father, you can write books at a young age and will definitely be extraordinary in the future. I am right, is your father still in his hometown now?"

"My father started business ten years ago. Now he has opened a store in Beijing and the business is pretty good."

Manager Luo laughed, "Your father must have been forced out of the store."

"Shopkeeper Luo is right. He used to be cowardly, but now he is forced by life. He has always missed Store Manager Luo. When will you meet him when you have time?"

"What store is your dad opening now?"

"He does the rouge business and opens a small shop selling rouge called Baoyanzhai..."

Manager Luo opened his mouth wide suddenly, and after a while, he was extremely shocked: "My God! It turns out that Baoyanzhai is your father..."

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "The store belongs to the store, but others are still the same as before. He must be willing to see Manager Luo."

Manager Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he felt very emotional. Thirty years after Hedong and thirty years after Hexi, the cowardly and timid Li Daqi actually became the owner of Baoyanzhai. It was unimaginable!

"Brother Li..." Cao Jiaojiao gently pulled Li Yanqing's hem.

"Is this your sister?" Manager Luo looked at Cao Jiaojiao and asked with a smile.

"It's my friend's sister, and I'll accompany her to buy books today."

Li Yanqing asked Xiaoniang with a smile again, "Have Jiaojiao selected a good book?"

"I took a set of books myself." Cao Jiaojiao pointed to the thick stack of books next to her, which was the complete set of "The Great Sage Monster Hunt"

"But I don't know what books should I buy for Dashu Niang?"

Manager Luo read the book and smiled and said, "This book was written by your elder brother Li, you don't know!"

"Really?" Cao Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Li Yanqing with great admiration.

Li Yanqing patted her little head and smiled, "When I wrote this book, I was about the same age as you."

"Then can I write it?"

"Yes! You can write books at home in the future and don't run around."

"Then I can't write it out, can I come to see Brother Li?"

Li Yanqing suddenly felt that he was surrounded, "This...you should study hard and write in a few years!"

Manager Luo was interesting to see, so he laughed and said, "Little sister, your elder brother Li was a child prodigy back then. He only started writing books after he knew 10,000 words. When you know 10,000 words, you can write books."

Cao Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay! I'll go back and try my best to recognize words."

At this time, Li Yanqing looked at the bookstore and saw that there were many new books in it. He smiled at the shopkeeper Luo and said, "All new books are available, even if they were bought by the little sister."

"I have money!" Cao Jiaojiao quickly took out a tael of silver, which was what Li Yanqing gave her last time.

Li Yanqing knew last time he bought cat food. This little girl had no idea about money. She always thought that she could buy a lot of things with one tael of silver, and she was a wealthy family’s daughter! No wonder.

He gave Manager Luo a wink, and Manager Luo understood and smiled and said, "I have enough money, I'll tie it up and send it to you."

Li Yanqing did not expect that there would be so many new books. These books were relatively expensive, and each book cost several hundred cents. He spent nearly 150 taels of silver to buy more than 600 books and packed four large boxes. He asked Manager Luo to send them to Cao's mansion. Of course, all these accounts were recorded on Cao Jiaojiao, but she paid a tael of silver.

Cao Jiaojiao no longer cared about the follow-up matters. After getting on the bus from the bookstore, she was completely lost in the golden cudgel of the Monkey King.

...........

"Da Shuniang!" Cao Jiaojiao shouted when she returned to the yard.

"Jiaojiao, where have you been? My mother and I are looking for you everywhere."

Cao Yun walked out of the embroidery building with a calm face, "Today I have to teach you a good lesson!"

"Mom won't beat me, I'll buy you a gift."

"Gift?"

Cao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that there were several large wooden boxes behind her sister.

"You sneaked out of the mansion again, right?" Cao Yun said angrily.

"No! I went out with Xiaosanlang, and I didn't sneak out. If you don't believe me, please ask Xiaosanlang."

Cao Jiaojiao was so anxious that tears were almost coming out, "In a few days it's Dashu Niang's birthday, Jiaojiao is going to buy you a gift."

"ah!"

Cao Yun hugged his sister with heartache, "So that's the case. Sister is wrongly blamed you."

"Look at the gift I bought for you!"

Cao Jiaojiao grabbed the eldest sister's hand and went to the wooden box, "You must like it!"

"What's this?"

"Book!" Cao Jiaojiao said proudly: "Do you like it?"

Cao Yun was stunned. There were at least five or six hundred books in these large boxes. How much does it cost?

"Where did you get the money?"

"My own! I saved a tael of silver and bought a book for Dashu Niang."

Cao Yun suddenly felt something was wrong. Cao Xing was a famous stingy person in the Cao family and would never spend money to buy books for her. This little girl must have something to hide from her. When she remembered the last time when she had a cat food, she always thought it was bought by her grandfather. Now it wasn't right when she recalled it, there was something wrong with it.

"Jiaojiao, come with me, sister has something to ask you!"
