Chapter 35 Publishing a Book
When I finished writing the second chapter, the moon outside was already hanging on the treetops.

It took a lot of twists and turns today, but things finally moved forward.

Gu Heng was thinking about messy things, and she thought about taking a good rest tomorrow, but she was woken up just after dawn the next morning.

She put on her clothes and walked out of the room, and unexpectedly saw several servants and servants.

Gu Heng frowned, and she said to Chen Shi: "Mother, what do these people do?"

Chen's face was quite happy.

"This is a servant sent by your sister. That's right. We live in such a big house. It's a bit deserted after all."

The servants are Mama Zhang, Nanny Liu, and a maid who looks quite outstanding, looking at Gu Heng with love.

Obviously this is the maid that Gu Rong found for himself.

Mother Zhang brought a few people to salute Mrs. Chen, and she said with a smile on her face: "We are all carefully selected by the eldest lady, and we are all good hands to assist Madam in managing the house."

Nanny Liu obviously didn't want Mama Zhang to seize the opportunity, so she leaned forward and said, "Ma'am, servants are good at cooking, both southern and northern cuisines, servants know how to cook!"

Ms. Zhang didn't give in too much, she said with a smile: "The servants can do needlework well, and from now on, the servants will contract the clothes of Madam and Miss."

The little girl's name is Zijing, and she hurriedly said: "The slaves will wash and dress the masters, the slaves can also sing ditties to make the masters happy, and the slaves can also write!"

Two servants, one tall and one short, looked younger than Gu Heng.

One of them is called Sancai and the other is called Ercai.

Sancai said: "Your servant is strong, just leave the rough work to me."

Ercai said: "Slave, slave..."

This silly guy doesn't seem to remember what he's going to do.

Looking at this group of people, Gu Heng couldn't help laughing, and she said to Chen Shi: "Mother, you should arrange them first, and assign work according to what they said, you two talents who don't know anything, you Just go to the door."

Mrs. Chen coughed twice, as if she wanted to establish her wife's personality, and arranged work for several people in a calm voice.

Gu Heng secretly ran out with his manuscript.

As a result, as soon as he walked to the alley full of hibiscus flowers, Gu Heng found that Bauhinia was following him.

Bauhinia hurried over and saluted Gu Heng.

"Miss, Madam asked the servants to follow the lady."

Gu Heng was helpless.

"Then you can follow."

Zijing happily followed her own lady, Gu Heng couldn't help but said to Zijing, "Where did you come from?"

Zijing said: "The servant's family used to be a peasant household, and there were too many brothers and sisters in the family, so my parents sent me to the capital to be a maid. You are the first lady that the servant serves."

Gu Heng didn't like it when he heard someone calling himself a slave.

"From now on, you can just talk about me in front of me, and get used to it."

Zijing didn't refuse, she smiled and said, "Good miss."

Bauhinia took out the umbrella she had prepared and opened it for Gu Heng.

"Miss, all the ladies in the capital need umbrellas when they go out."

Gu Heng didn't like having an umbrella on her head, so she said, "Do you think I'm tall?"

Zijing looked carefully and said in a low voice, "Miss is very petite."

Gu Heng coughed lightly.

"Short stature is due to the lack of sunlight. You can see that the crops in the field grow taller the more they are exposed to the sun, and people are the same."

Bauhinia seemed to understand but half understood, Gu Heng walked quickly all the way, and finally arrived at the teahouse.

Dr. Cha in the restaurant saw Gu Heng arrived, and hurried to the inner room to call Bao Yun.

Bao Yun ran in with a stack of manuscripts, and when she saw Gu Heng, she hurriedly put the things on the table.

"Aheng, my brother stayed up all night last night and changed it for you. Show me."

Gu Heng took a look and felt satisfied.

Gu Heng said to Bao Yun: "Your brother's literary talents are really good, and he will definitely win the number one prize in the future."

Gu Heng just said something flattering, but this Bao Yun bowed her head in frustration, she looked at Gu Heng, and sighed helplessly: "My brother is talented, but he is too upright, the teachers of the Imperial College say that the examiner I don’t like writing essays that hurt the current situation, but my elder brother just likes to write. After 7 years of exams, he has never passed the exam.”

Gu Heng was a little emotional when he heard this.

Seven years have been wasted on the imperial examinations, and Bao Zheng is not too young anymore.

Gu Heng took out the second chapter he wrote last night from his arms.

"Your brother's literary talent is very good. I will ask him to polish it in the future. This is the second time."

Gu Heng took out the silver and put it on the manuscript.

Seeing this, Bao Yun burst into tears of excitement. She followed her brother to live in the capital, and her monthly salary was just enough to live on. This sum of money really solved their urgent need.

"Aheng, thank you so much, I will tell my brother today to get him out quickly."

Bao Yun wanted to keep them for dinner, so Gu Heng naturally couldn't stay, so she left with Bauhinia on the pretext that she still had something to do.

After Zijing left the teahouse, she couldn't help but said to her own lady: "Miss, what are you going to do? Can this slave help me?"

Gu Heng looked this little girl up and down.

"When the time comes, you can help me grind the ink."

Bauhinia opened her eyes wide.

"Miss, you are a scholar, so amazing."

Gu Heng, who is known as a scholar, stubbornly went to find the book store he had been to for the first time. The old shopkeeper blew his beard and stared at him for a long time. He stroked his beard and said, "This style of writing is like cutting a stone with a knife. , if the follow-up will be so exciting.”

Gu Heng was immediately satisfied when he heard this.

"How about the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper was a happy man, so he hurriedly took out some documents and a letter of silver from the back.

"Girl take it, please be sure to publish it in our bookstore."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Heng's mouth.

"Okay, after seven days, I will deliver the completed book, and the shopkeeper will wait for my good news."

Seeing that her young lady earned so much money so easily, Zijing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Miss is indeed a scholar."

Gu Heng was in a good mood today, so he took Bauhinia to a small restaurant with a rather nice environment for dinner.

Bauhinia did not dare to sit at the same table with Gu Heng, and Gu Heng did not force it.

Although this girl Zijing has a wild temper, she has a sense of propriety, and she sticks to her duties.

Gu Heng originally suspected that she might be someone sent by the palace to monitor her.

Now it seems that eight or nine hundred percent is the person who watched her.

After lunch, Gu Heng asked Zijing to take the silver back, and she went to a place alone.

This time she hailed a car directly and went to the Xingrong Chamber of Commerce in the outer city.

At the gate of the outer city, merchants from all over the world gathered, and the Xingrong Chamber of Commerce was a relatively simple place among them.

In fact, it is mainly a comparison. These merchants wish they could put gold on the door. The buildings are taller than the other, and the gardens are more luxurious than the other.
