Chapter 92 Sweeping Out
Soon after watching "Painted Skin", the rumor spread that the dishonest husband could be corrected.

Can reading a storybook have this effect?

Some female customers who heard that "Painted Skin" was too scary, either did not believe it, or were curious, and still couldn't help but bought it.

From a well-to-do family, the maid gave the hostess the "Painted Skin" she just bought, and was a little worried: "Do you really want to see it? I heard it's scary."

The hostess took it, hesitated and opened the book: "It's just a book."

In fact, she is very timid, especially when her husband is often not at home, she is the only one who goes to bed at night, and the shadows of the trees outside the window will make her think wildly, so she wants to ask her maid to sleep with her.

But I heard that this book can make men more honest. Thinking about the speculation these days, she still wants to read it.

The woman bit her lip and mustered up the courage to look.

She saw Wang Sheng looking in through the window, and the green-faced, fang-toothed ghost was carefully drawing on the human skin with a pen.

Mr. Song Ling's writing is full of power, as if people can see the picture directly.

A chill crept up her spine, making her shiver unknowingly, but the plot attracted her to read on.When she saw Wang Sheng being torn apart by the evil spirit, the woman was terrified and at the same time felt subtly refreshed.

At the end, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the maidservant: "This story is good, let me read it for you to listen to."

The woman read "Painted Skin" once, and asked the maid with a smile, "How do you feel after hearing this story?"

The maid knew that the mistress had a good temper, so she told the truth: "My maid thinks that Wang Sheng's wife is not worth it. Wang Sheng was obsessed with sex and was killed by an evil spirit. To save Wang Sheng, she endured the insult of a beggar..."

The woman listened in a daze, and finally smiled like a cover-up, reached out and tapped the maidservant's forehead: "You are so young, you always have so many weird ideas. Go to work."

In the evening, the host rarely came back.

The woman chatted casually: "I bought the second part of "Painted Skin", do you want to see it, sir?"

Unlike women who love to read story books, the male protagonist's hobbies are not here, but it is still possible to pass the time when there is nothing to do.

So he reached out to take it, and looked slowly.

Shopkeeper Hu saw that more and more female customers came to buy "Painted Skin", he smiled from ear to ear, and said with emotion: "It's still the master who has the ability."

Liu Zhou nodded in agreement: "No, even the original owner said that the bookstore should be sold to the owner early, and urged me to ask the owner when Mr. Song Ling will publish new books."

Shopkeeper Hu's mouth twitched.

Don't mention the prodigal son of the original boss who sells his father's land, otherwise he will feel sorry for the old boss.

Suddenly a voice came: "Excuse me, is your boss here?"

As soon as shopkeeper Hu looked up, he saw a young woman with a woman's bun standing in the hall, followed by a little maid.

"Our boss has gone out. If you have anything to say to me, the honored guest, I will tell her when the boss comes back."

"I'm here to thank your master." The young woman hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the maidservant.

The maid hurriedly put the gifts she brought on the counter next to Shopkeeper Hu.

"This is—" Shopkeeper Hu was a little confused.

"My husband has not been home for the past six months. He watched "Painted Skin" two days ago, and suddenly came back to apologize to me. It turned out that he had a relationship with a woman six months ago and often stayed with her. He watched "Painted Skin" Afterwards, I became suspicious, and I paid more attention to find out that the woman was conspiring with someone to take over my shop..."

After the young woman finished speaking, she blessed Shopkeeper Hu: "Fortunately, your boss bought such a good story as "Painted Skin" and put it on sale, which saved our family from this catastrophe."

Shopkeeper Hu: "..." I never expected that the rumors they made in order to fight back against Yaxin Bookstore would actually have an effect!

Not only shopkeeper Hu heard these words, but also other customers who walked into the bookstore.

For the people in the capital who are keen on gossip, this incident undoubtedly concentrated all the characteristics worth spreading, so it spread in a short time.

Few people know who the hostess and hostess of the incident is. The key is that this incident is so interesting.For a moment, not to mention the swarms of female customers, even those who didn't read the scriptures would join in the fun and come to buy a copy.

No way, people now talk about "Painted Skin" when they meet, and they can't talk about it without reading the book.

Qingsong Bookstore was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and one person wished he could have eight hands.

Shitou plucked up the courage to ask shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper, my mother is almost in good health, can she come back to work?"

Shi Niang was working at Qingsong Bookstore when Shi Niang was not sick, and shopkeeper Hu nodded when she heard this: "No problem, but I have to tell my boss."

Xin You didn't expect to promote "Painted Skin" in a different direction to have such an effect. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to investigate Gu Changbo.

When Shopkeeper Hu talked about Shitou Niang, she nodded without hesitation: "The shopkeeper looks at the arrangement, if there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, hire some, don't tire people out."

Although shopkeeper Hu was moved by his boss's thoughtfulness, he had no plans to recruit people immediately.

Qingsong Bookstore is now a big tree that attracts people's envy, and rushing to hire people is likely to attract some uneasy and kind people.The bookstore is in such a good situation, I would rather be a little tired during this period of time than make mistakes.

Soon Shitou Niang was led by Shitou to Xin You, and kowtowed to Xin You firmly, and Qingsong Bookstore has since added a woman who is good at sewing.

Qingsong Bookstore is booming, but Yaxin Bookstore is becoming more and more deserted.

The shopkeeper Gu was scolded by his boss, and he kicked Mr. Pingan out of the house according to the boss's instructions.

"I'm sorry, sir. The store is not doing well. Please find another job."

Mr. Ping'an is a man in his forties, tall, with a goatee and a literati face. Hearing these words, he felt greatly insulted.

"Shopkeeper, that's not what you said when you invited me to Yaxin Bookstore."

"At this time, at that time, I didn't expect that Mr.'s new book would be completely defeated by an unknown book writer, causing great losses to our bookstore."

"You guys don't keep promises!" Mr. Ping angrily pointed at shopkeeper Gu.

Shopkeeper Gu's face darkened: "I advise you, sir, to get together so that we don't look bad on each other."

Mr. Pingan knew that the owner behind shopkeeper Gu was not a good person, so he snorted coldly, picked up his bag and walked out of Yaxin Bookstore.

Shopkeeper Gu deliberately chose to rush people early in the morning, and the opposite Qingsong Bookstore hadn't opened yet.

Mr. Pingan carried his bundle and stood on the bleak autumn street, blowing the cool breeze for a while, before striding towards Qingsong Bookstore.

Liu Zhou heard the knock on the door and opened it: "Who is it, early in the morning—"

Seeing the people outside the store clearly, the young man was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a strange tone: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Ping An, what's the matter early in the morning?"

Looking at the way he is carrying the burden, he must not be kicked out by Yaxin Bookstore, right?
Hey!
