Help!The icy grandpa has moved my heart

Chapter 385 There are some things that he is just guessing, not sure.

"Dream of Red Mansions?"

"Yes, it's "A Dream of Red Mansions."

Isn't the first of the four great classics the Dream of the Red Chamber?

Qu Fulan has already made plans, focusing on Dream of the Red Chamber, talking about it once a week, supplemented by rapping and singing other novels in the rest of the time.

It is easy to find other novels. The most readily available ones are the books in "Wan Juan Shu Si". When the time comes to pick some good books, it will not be a problem to stabilize the flow.

She can even use "Zui Huaben" as storytelling. After all, "Zuihuaben" has become popular, and using it as a storytelling can drive a certain amount of traffic.

Free storytelling does not mean that physical books will have no way to survive. The popularity of books is high, and some people will buy physical books as souvenirs at that time, achieving a win-win effect.

And her department stores make money in a few key ways.

The first is to attract investment, and the leasing of stores is a very important factor for the survival of shopping centers.

The second is the advertising service, which has become one of the means of making money for shopping centers.

The third is the parking fee: as a public place, a certain fee is charged for the guarantee and management of the payment.

At that time, there must be a lot of people who come by horse-drawn carriage to go shopping, and a very spacious place is needed to park the horse-drawn carriage. In the capital city where every inch of land is expensive, a parking lot is a very necessary existence.

Otherwise, if you park randomly outside, it is easy to cause road occupation.

The fourth is theme activities: hold theme activities for the entire shopping mall regularly or according to holidays, etc., to play a role in attracting traffic for settled merchants.

When Qu Fulan was writing the plan for the department store, he didn't notice that Pei Ji'an, who was sitting at the other end, looked back at her from time to time, although she was holding a scroll in her hand, with an inquiring look in her eyes.

When she was tired from writing and stopped to stretch her muscles, Pei Ji'an smiled at her, "Done?"

Qu Fulan shook his head, "There is still a part."

"Let me see."

Qu Fulan handed him the plan. Although there were many modern words in the plan, she was not afraid of being seen by him. Anyway, it would not affect him if he saw it. If she had any doubts, she would explain it casually and cover it up. It's not that I haven't been like this before.

As a result, Pei Ji'an returned the plan to her without any doubts after reading it, and he didn't even ask about the origin of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Qu Fulan had already prepared the draft, but he didn't even have a chance to say it.

He was not used to it without asking her, so he asked instead, "Don't you ask what book "A Dream of Red Mansions" is?"

After all, she claimed to be on par with "Journey to the West", even the emperor was curious, but she made a fool of herself, saying that he would know when the book came out.

But if Pei Ji'an wanted to ask, she would definitely answer.

Pei Ji'an smiled, and said cooperatively, "What book is it?"

"It's a novel about the world. It tells the story of a big family's prosperity, decline, and complete defeat."

Anyway, the introduction is as simple as that, just like Journey to the West, the brief description is the story of Tang Monk and his disciples going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. It sounds simple, but the content of the story is not simple.

"It would be interesting to think about it." Pei Ji'an said.

Qu Fulan rubbed his nose, "It's really interesting. It was written by a gentleman surnamed Cao. I also dreamed about it. You know, "Journey to the West" also came about like this."

Pei Ji'an nodded, seeming to accept the explanation, "Are you tired from writing? Let's go for a walk and relax."

Qu Fulan only felt that he was so tolerant. She could actually fool others with such an excuse. He should have many doubts, but he never delved into it. It was the same in the past, and it is the same now.

"Alright, I'm just about to go out for a walk, relax your eyes, and let me change my clothes."

After all, he went back to the house and changed into a pink outfit, and went shopping with him in the garden.

At this time, it is March in Yangchun, the temperature is warm, and the garden is full of flowers, which is very beautiful.

After walking for a while, the two sat down in the pavilion, surrounded by flowers, and sitting down did not affect the scenery.

As a result, not only the two of them went to the garden today, Pei Yuan and Ren Hua also took their children out to the garden, separated by a river.

Brother Tuan has already gone to school, but he doesn’t need to go to school today. Now the family of four walks around not far away, having fun and enjoying themselves.

Now Ren Hua's main task is to take care of her husband and teach her children. Regarding her career, she basically left it to the manager. She had time to look at the books and it was over.

This is the path that most women in ancient times are taking. Family is the main thing. Career is not something they should worry about. As long as they take care of the back house, they will be done.

It's just that most women don't have Ren Hua's life. Although she sacrificed her career, she also got a rare love.

Except for those two housemates, Pei Yuan never took concubines again. I heard that he dismissed those two housemates a few days ago and gave them a considerable amount of money, which could be regarded as retirement money.

In the ancient times when men had three wives and four concubines, Pei Yuan could be considered a good man, and there were not many men like him.

Not to mention men of Pei Shizi's level, they are so rare that they can be ignored.

And such a man was met by her, Qu Fulan knew that she was lucky.

"Sometimes I feel like you don't belong to this dynasty." Qu Fulan said.

Pei Ji'an, who was pouring tea, paused, "Why do you see that?"

"It's just that your mind is too open-minded. When I was your maidservant, you didn't interfere with what I did. Even if you didn't understand, you let me play freely. This is not like a master should be."

Pei Ji'an smiled, "In your eyes, what should a master look like?"

"Irresponsible, domineering, stick to one thing, don't allow others to disobey, tell people to go east and not go west, as servants, they have to obey, and can't make their own decisions." Qu Fulan can list a lot of high-ranking people in this era by counting them casually. characteristics of the recipient.

"Based on what you're saying, I'm no longer the master."

"Yes, you seem to be a qualified boss."

Pei Ji'an smiled, "A qualified boss? In your eyes, what does a qualified boss look like?"

"A qualified boss is just like you before, speaking based on ability."

Pei Ji'an smiled again, "You said that I don't look like someone from this dynasty, so wouldn't your words and deeds be even more like that?"

Qu Fulan paused while drinking tea, and glanced at him calmly, um, it seems that he was just talking casually.

"In this world, there are always some people who are different from the general public. You and I belong to the minority." While explaining to himself, he was also drawn into it.

Is it possible for her to say that she is really not from this dynasty?Maybe he wouldn't mind if he knew it, but there are some things that can't bet on, and there's no need to bet on them.

Just like human nature, don't test human nature.

"Lanlan, do you like this world?" Pei Ji'an asked casually.

This question was also asked in modern times, how did she answer it back then?
——I like it, and I don’t like it either.

I like it because there are people who care about it, and I don't like it because it's not easy to live alone.but
But everyone has only one life, so it should be cherished.

"Like it or don't like it."

"if……"

"what if?"

Pei Ji'an smiled, "It's nothing."

Some things, he is just guessing, not sure.
