After the first assistant's wife is reborn

Chapter 87 Huiyuan Bookstore
Xia Sichan was quickly attracted by the storyline in the storybook, and the writer also added the jealousy of the wives and concubines in the backyard of a wealthy family, and resorted to endless tricks with each other.
It makes the story more ups and downs and fascinating.

A few notches up from what she roughly wrote.

Time slipped by inadvertently, Shi Ju who was sleeping in the outer room thought that the young lady was going back to her mother's house today.Thinking that the lady was still awake, she quietly opened the door, but unexpectedly, the lady had already woken up and was reading a book.

"Well, miss, you're awake, why didn't you call your maidservant to help you wash up?" Shi Ju asked softly, yawning.

"I just woke up too," Xia Sichan told a white lie, and asked, "Ask someone to ask Ye An if the carriage is ready? Then take out the presents you brought, and we'll leave the house."

"Okay!"

Xia Sichan casually packed up the manuscripts of the storybook and took them with her. Later, she turned to the bookstore, handed the manuscripts to the shopkeeper Liu, and took a look at how her shop was doing.

Ma Guichun and Ye An, the two servants that Xia Siwei hired for his sister, have been in the Wei Mansion for more than a month, eating and drinking for free every day, doing nothing, and since this time they have not been with their master to protect them, they feel a lot of guilt in their hearts .

Today was the first time that Ye An went out with his master, so Ye An didn't take a nap, and when he received a message from Nanny Sun, he immediately led the horse out and tidied up the carriage.

Although the two veterans did not have a contract in Xia Sichan's hands, Nanny Sun still asked them to sign a short-term contract.

It's not that I don't worry about the loyalty of the two of them, and I always have a little worry in my heart if I don't sign anything with them.

When Xia Sichan led Shiju and Lu Tao out of the corner gate of Wei Mansion, Ye An, who was dressed up, stepped forward quickly and bowed to salute: "Young lady, I have seen you."

"Well, please trouble Uncle Ye today." Seeing the sweat beads on Ye An's honey-colored face, Xia Sichan said guiltily.

"Hey, what did Miss say? Don't bother, don't bother."

Ye An took out the sweat towel around his waist to wipe off the sweat, and strode towards the shaft with his lips grinning.

Xia Sichan didn't forget to say to Ye An before getting into the carriage: "Uncle Ye, turn around and stop at the Huiyuan Bookstore on Changning Street."

"Okay, miss, please sit still."

Ye An agreed loudly, sat on the shaft of the chariot, raised his whip lightly in the air, and slapped it loudly.

With his sonorous voice: "Drive!" The carriage rumbled forward.

The capital city is a capital city after all, even if the sun is shining outside, the streets are bustling with people walking, especially many carriages with official identities passing through it.

The carriage drove for about half the time, and with a squeak, it stopped in front of a shop with two carved nanmu doors.

Xia Sichan got out of the carriage, raised her head and saw her shop, which was not bad compared to other shops on this street.

The facade of the bookstore is quite large, and under the high eaves hangs a plaque with red characters on a black background, with four strong characters written on it: Huiyuan Bookstore.

Open the door and go in, although it is noon, there are two or three customers in the shop.

The little guy in the shop saw the visitor, and immediately came forward enthusiastically: "Madam, what do you need?"

Xia Sichan has never been to her shop in two lifetimes, how did the little guy inside know that she is the owner of the shop?

"I'm looking for shopkeeper Liu." Xia Sichan said while looking at the arrangement in the bookstore.

"I'm sorry Ma'am, please wait a moment, please go upstairs and call the shopkeeper to come down." The young man saw a young and well-known lady, bowed and said.

When the winking store clerk saw Xia Sichan's clothes and accessories, he knew that the lady in front of him was either rich or expensive.

When Xia Sichan heard this, she guessed that shopkeeper Liu might be taking a nap, so she quickly stopped him: "No need, Shiju, just give him the manuscript and ask him to hand it over to shopkeeper Liu." Xia Sichan murmured to Shiju.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked at his shop carefully.

The bookstore is divided into two areas, one is for books and the other is for storybooks.

Books are also divided into two parts, old and new. Regardless of whether new books or ancient books, they are all neatly stacked.

At first glance, the management is good, which makes people have the desire to buy.

There is also a row of willow armchairs in front of the window, which should be reserved for the book-buying customers to sit and rest, and read books by the way.

I don't know if other bookstores provide such friendly services.

The reason, of course, is that Xia Sichan never went to a book store to buy books, even in her previous life, when she fell in love with reading books to pass the boring and desolate days, it was because Siju asked Cheng Jun to buy them.

Just when Xia Sichan was distracted, "Hey! It's the lady who is here!" Following the words, shopkeeper Liu came down from upstairs.

Shopkeeper Liu, who was wearing a dark blue thin cotton gown, turned sideways to Xia Sichan and said politely: "Miss, please have a cup of tea."

"Shopkeeper Liu, no need, I have something else to do, come here next time." Xia Sichan waved her hands and said, she saw everything she wanted to see, very satisfied.

Shi Ju took a step forward and handed the manuscript to shopkeeper Liu.

"Miss, what do you think of this book?" Shopkeeper Liu asked after taking the manuscript from Siju's hand.

When Xia Sichan saw him asking, she praised: "It's well written."

"That's fine, I'll send someone to print it if I'm young." Shopkeeper Liu said with a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

"Okay, shopkeeper Liu, you can figure it out."

After Xia Sichan finished speaking, she wanted to leave.

"Miss, it's rare for you to come here, so let's take a look at the account." Shopkeeper Liu suggested.

"No, you can reconcile the accounts in the shop with Butler Cheng when he comes." Xia Sichan urged.

Shopkeeper Liu asked suspiciously, "Butler Cheng?"

"Well, it's Nanny Sun's son Cheng Jun." Xia Sichan explained.

"Oh, oh, I got it." Shopkeeper Liu squinted his eyes, thought for a while, knew who it was, and nodded while stroking his gray beard.

Xia Sichan thought, since he entrusted Cheng Jun with all the business, he had to trust him.

It is estimated that Cheng Jun went to Jiangnan to buy a house for himself and has not come back. Otherwise, how could shopkeeper Liu not know about it?
However, now it seems that the house may be idle after buying it.

However, it is not a bad idea to keep it for Shiju as her dowry.

Shopkeeper Liu saw that Xia Sichan had no intention of staying for a long time, so he clasped his hands and personally sent Xia Sichan out.

······
Xia's mother Ding sent someone to send tonics to Xia Mansion ten days after Xia Sichan left Beijing, only then did she know that her daughter followed her son-in-law to handle the case.

I am both happy and worried.

The happy thing is that the daughter is with the son-in-law, and the newlyweds must be sweetened to deepen their relationship.

Of course, the worry is that the son-in-law is going to handle the case, and the danger must always exist.

Her Bao'er is a delicate and frail little girl, who can't stand that kind of bloody scene.

Therefore, ever since Ding knew that her daughter was traveling with her son-in-law, she was always in fear every day.

　Xia Sichan has never been to her bookstore in two lifetimes, so today she took the opportunity to deliver the manuscript of the storybook to take a look at the business situation of the bookstore.
