Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 42
"Okay." Xin You nodded without hesitation, and simply called Jiang Shuang over.

Seeing Hanxue kneeling on the ground, Jiang Shuang was a little surprised: "What orders does Miss have?"

"I didn't ask you what you meant before. I was negligent. Hanxue wanted to stay, and I agreed. I want to ask your thoughts. Don't worry about me getting angry, just do whatever you want."

If Xin You really wanted to choose, the only one she wanted to take away was Xiao Lian, it would be more convenient without the others.

Jiang Shuang glanced at Hanxue, who was silent, in surprise, and said: "My servant wants to follow the girl."

Xinyou's tone was gentle, so as not to put pressure on the little maid: "You have to think about it."

"The servant girl has made up his mind, the servant girl will go to the bookstore with you."

Xin You nodded and went into the house.

Hanxue was puzzled by Jiang Shuang's choice, pulled her and asked in a low voice: "Why did you go out with the girl? It's not easy for a girl to go outside, especially for a girl who hasn't left the cabinet like this. The girl didn't blame her, why don't you stay?"

Jiang Shuang also didn't understand Hanxue's choice: "The girl has a shop and servants, why is it not easy? Isn't it better to run the bookstore with the girl than to stay here? Besides, it's not enough for the girl to have sister Xiaolian and a maid by her side."

Hanxue also understood that what she did was not kind, so she kept silent, but scolded a fool in her heart.

Once the girl loses her good reputation, it will be difficult for them to marry in the future if they are in close service. Jiang Shuang is not being stupid or something.

When saying goodbye to the old lady the next day, Xinyou proposed to keep Hanxue on the grounds that she wanted to keep more people at Wanqingju.

The old lady didn't care about the departure of a little maid, she agreed without asking any further questions.

Xin You came in front of Duan Wenbai and Zhu Shi, and blessed her body: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your constant care."

Zhu sighed inwardly, and said warmly: "If you are not used to being outside, come home."

Now that she is in charge of the house, although she can't do much for the poor child, it is still possible to make her eat and live more comfortably.

Xin You could hear the sincerity in Zhu's words, and thanked her again.

Duan Yunling didn't dare to show too much enthusiasm in front of the old lady, she looked at Xin You with bright eyes, "Cousin Qing, you should come back often."

"Yes. If Ling Cousin goes to the street, you can find me at the bookstore anytime."

After a scene of farewell, Xin You finally boarded the carriage to Qingsong Bookstore.

Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief in the carriage: "Finally, I have left the tiger's den. Girl, you are really amazing."

Xin You bent her lips: "It won't be too late to praise me after you get back half of Miss Kou's family wealth."

"Girl, do you have a solution?"

"Take your time, the time is not up now, and it's useless to say more."

When they arrived at Qingsong Bookstore, the carriage entered directly through the door of the house behind. People in the house who had heard the news gathered over and saluted Xin You.

There were eight people in total, one janitor, two sweepers, two laundry menders, one cooker, and two patrolling nurses.

Xin You handed these people over to Nanny Fang, Xiao Lian took Jiang Shuang to sort out the things she brought, and went to the front bookstore by herself.

The bookstore was deserted, and shopkeeper Hu and the staff were still staring at each other.

"Boss, you're here." Seeing Xin You, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly greeted him, holding a written notice in his hand, "See if this works, and if it's all right, the villain will post it."

Xin You glanced at it and found no other objections. She clicked on the amount and said, "Change 50 taels of silver to 500 taels."

Shopkeeper Hu was shocked: "500 taels?"

"Ah."

"Boss, isn't this a bit high?" Shopkeeper Hu reminded euphemistically, but it didn't feel that it was a bit high, but it was too high.

"If you can buy a good story, it's not expensive at all. The shopkeeper should post the notice."

Shopkeeper Hu had no choice but to listen, and when he posted the notice, he sighed to the clerk with mixed emotions: "The owner is really generous, no wonder he spent 2 taels to buy a bookstore."

If these were his children, he would call them a prodigal son.

The buddy's mood is more complicated than shopkeeper Hu's, but you, shopkeeper Xindao, are really innocent and ignorant.

After the notice was posted, many people gathered soon.

"If the story is liked, can you get 500 taels of silver?"

"Really, isn't this too high?"

"That's right, could it be that the story was written with gold dust?"

Shocked, people rushed to ask shopkeeper Hu.

Shopkeeper Hu made a circle and bowed: "Can the posted notice be fake? There is a good story, and there will be no less than 500 taels of silver."

Even if he thinks the price is inappropriate, he can't show his cowardice to the new owner.

"Shopkeeper Hu, your new owner has courage."

Shopkeeper Hu smiled: "I would like to ask everyone to help spread the word."

Everyone hurriedly said, "No problem."

500 taels to buy a story, such a rare thing, even if the shopkeeper doesn't ask, I can't help but talk about it everywhere.

More and more people gathered in front of Qingsong Bookstore, the shopkeeper of Yaxin Bookstore opposite could not help but come out, and sent his staff to inquire about the situation.

"500 taels for a story?" The shopkeeper of Yaxin Bookstore sneered after hearing the information from the staff, "It's an idea to buy a horse bone with a lot of money, but it's a pity that writing a storybook is no better than others. A good story that people follow."

Having said that, the shopkeeper of Yaxin Bookstore was still worried, and sent his staff to order a table of good noodles for Mr. Ping An.

Shopkeeper Hu walked into the bookstore, and excitedly cupped Xin You: "Boss, I understand your good intentions. It's a lot to buy a story for 500 taels of silver, but people will know it all at once. When our bookstore releases new books, it's no wonder Few people will buy it out of curiosity.”

This is the reaction of shopkeeper Hu after seeing more and more people around and the deadly enemy on the opposite side.

He misunderstood the owner!
Xin You did not deny the shopkeeper's words: "There is part of the reason."

Shopkeeper Hu was startled: "Is there any other benefits?"

Xin You didn't answer, but said with a smile, "The shopkeeper will accompany me to the printing shop."

Another reason is that the fat and water don't need to flow to outsiders' fields, and she plans to earn the 500 taels of silver herself.

Of course, this can't be said, Xinyou doesn't intend to let the whole capital know that the cousin girl in Shaoqing's mansion can write books.

The outside of Qingsong Bookstore was extremely lively, but the book printing workshop was lifeless, and the complaints of several craftsmen could clearly be heard in Xin You's ears.

"If it was published last year, the book will be printed again in a rigid manner. Is the new owner burning too much money?"

"Yeah, I don't think this bookstore will be open for long..."

"A little girl, if she doesn't stay at home well, she runs out to open a bookstore, isn't she fooling around!"

"Ahem!" Shopkeeper Hu coughed heavily.

"Master, shopkeeper." Several craftsmen saluted awkwardly.

Seeing Xinyou's expressionless face, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly said, "They are all rough people, don't take it to heart, Master."

Xin You glanced at a few people, and smiled: "No, everyone just works hard, and the bookstore will be open for a long time."

　Thanks to Xixi for having clouds and willow leaves in winter, and Ai AMY for being the helmsman of "The Golden Branch", thanks to Moyu Moyi, Qingque Baihufang for their rewards of ten thousand coins, and thanks to the book friends who plan to vote.
