A piece of paper

Chapter 58 Give the key
That night.

On a spring night, the rain comes in the dark, and as the night gets deeper, the raindrops dance on the gray tiles and gray walls more cheerfully.

In the innermost courtyard of the Chen family's old house, a long-standing cherry tree is planted. The dark green curled leaves are wrapped with white and weak flower buds.

An oil lamp was lit on the square table in the yard, the flame tip of the lamp danced, Chen Jianfang shook his hand, and the ink splashed on his favorite mica-clean rice paper, the moist ink fell on the mud like raindrops, and the ink was stained layer by layer. Layer upon layer.

Chen Jianfang stared at the drop of ink, dazed, and closed his eyes lightly, but in the darkness, the cold and clear eyebrows of the girl in the Qingshi alley tonight, and the slender and thin hand lightly spread under the oiled paper umbrella appeared in the darkness.

Chen Jianfang gently rolled up the unfinished homework, remained silent for a while, and finally dipped his pen in the ink, and put the indelible picture in front of him on the paper.

Paper lasts for thousands of years, but human memory is short and changeable.

Jing County in March is Chen Ji's Jing County.

Tracing red books are all the rage for a while, and it is basically done. Anyone who has an enlightened child at home must have a tracing red book jointly signed by Chen Ji and Qingcheng Mountain Academy;

Chen Ji described the popular fire, such as the Zibo barbecue that suddenly became popular in later generations, and Xiaocao Village worked overtime. Boss Shang even bought an extra printing machine and hired four more odd jobs, but he couldn't keep up with the order that Chen Ji placed ——Most of them are wholesale. Some private schools have a list of one hundred copies. I don’t know if they want to kill someone.

Therefore, Xianjin adopts a single-entry method to arrange orders, first accepting large orders and then taking care of loose orders, and urgently conducts intensive training on sales skills for Suoer and the directors of the capital.

"If someone comes to buy fifty tracing red notebooks, but at this time the store is full and cannot get them out, what shall we say?"

Suo'er actively raised her hand, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have one right now, why don't you wait a little longer?"

Director Dong thought about it, and felt that Suo'er had everything covered, so he stroked the three hairs on the top of his head to express his approval.

Xian Jin shook his index finger and shook his head again and again, "No, no, you have to say——I'm sorry dear, the warehouse will deliver the goods according to the order of the order, and the order will be shipped out early."

Steward Dong moved the hair on the top of his head to the other side, and diligently wrote down in a small notebook: He talked about him from left to right, but he didn't give a clear time anyway.

Xian Jin asked again, "Then what if the customer ordered [-] copies of tracing red ten days ago, but we haven't delivered yet?"

Manager Dong quickly answered this question, "The old man suggests a sincere apology first, and then urges the warehouse to deliver the goods as soon as possible—we are a century-old store, we must not lie, otherwise we will smash our own signs."

Xian Jin swung his index finger like a pendulum, "No, no, no. We should immediately suggest to the customer to return the full amount and offer compensation. Compensation, usually twenty or fifty cash is enough."

Dong Guanshi suddenly realized.

They have no shortage of business!
There is no need to seize every single business!

Besides, when most people hear the full refund and corresponding compensation, the anger of waiting for the goods has long since subsided, and they may still want to buy paper at Chen Kee next time-the list is lost, but the repeat customers are not lost!

But with [-] and [-] Wen, one customer can be retained, which is the most cost-effective business!
Dong Guanshi was enlightened when he heard this, and wrote down in his small notebook with deep confidence: Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao, even those who do great things don't hesitate to tip.

Xian Jin also taught some things, "Well, my child understands your needs, and I will definitely urge you immediately", "I understand your anxiety, and after you pay the full amount, my child will give you priority in making notes." "Yes, yes, we are in advance. The pre-sale system and the pre-sale system means that you place an order and pay first, we issue a certificate, and wait for ten days to ship"...etc. unethical words.

For the pre-sale, Xian Jin finally sinfully started the pre-sale system that she hated so much in her previous life!
Before buying a piece of clothing on a certain treasure, she waited for a month, and she couldn't help but wonder if the store was going to Xinjiang to pick cotton; now, she is very proud to tell the group of wholesalers, yes, that's right, At present, it is indeed starting to bubble from the bark.
It is hard to find a red copy of Chen Ji, and many people come to Chen Ji through their acquaintances.

Chen Zuoniang came here once, her face was flushed, and she stammered, "... I just want to ask if we still have red books in our store? The county government has recruited a new batch of subordinates, and the documents are clear, and the characters are clear. But I have to practice again..."

County government business!
Xian Jin straightened his back, not daring to relax, "The county government wants to buy tracing red books?"

Chen Zuoniang lowered her head gently, and gently pinned a few strands of hair that fell on the side of her ears behind her ears, her voice was soft and soft, "It's not a purchase. I just want to ask if there are any defective products that are discarded in our house." .These poorly made goods can’t be sold, and they take up space, so it’s better to send them all to the county government, which is always a way.”

How could it be a defective product that was sent to the county magistrate.

This shows that the county government wants to confiscate Chen Ji's red book for free.

A copy of the tracing red book is fifty cash, and the monthly salary of the sixth-rank yamen is only seven and a half shi. If converted into silver, the monthly income is only seven taels of silver. Silver.

This money is not much, but it is also a lot. A county government has so much input inside and outside, and adding one item of output is to magnify costs and reduce self-interest.

How convenient it is to reach out and ask for it from the merchant.

There is no need to sell anything, and it will be delivered to your door.

Xian Jin accepted this "hidden rule", but was just curious about how Chen Zuoniang said it, so he first ordered the dog on Tuesday night to pick two picks and send them to the county government in the dark, and then asked Chen Zuoniang with a smile, "...is it seven?" Did your uncle entrust you to bring this word?"

Chen Zuoniang buried her head in her collar, blushed like a flying cloud, and muttered, "Not really."

The maid beside her spoke quickly and revealed the secret with a smile, "Did you forget that our eldest uncle is Lord Cheng Zhou of Jing County?"

Oh!
When watching the lanterns on the Lantern Festival, Chen Youniang said something, and Xian Jin remembered it, and asked with a smile, "When will our Zhou County Prime Minister come to propose a marriage? Why didn't the seventh uncle invite us to drink and watch the ceremony?" Go?—this wine can’t be spared!”

Chen Zuoniang's face turned pale, and she scolded the maid beside her, "Lu Zhi, you are too unruly, you can't speak up!" Then she explained to Xian Jin, "...he hasn't come to propose marriage yet. He just said, I heard it and kept it in my heart, if there are invalid notebooks, we will give them away, if there are none, don’t force it, the left and right government will belong to the government, and the Chen family will belong to the Chen family, they can’t just eat for free.”

Haven't proposed marriage yet?

Xian Jin was a little surprised.

The last time I heard from Chen Youniang that this marriage was decided when Hope Star's father took office as the prefect of Chengdu.

How many years have passed since this flash?
She remembered that Chen Zuoniang was two years older than her when they were sorted.

After the new year, He Xianjin is 16 years old, so isn't Chen Zuoniang?
In the previous life, it was the age to take the college entrance examination, but it is different now. If a few years later, the style of Neo-Confucianism prevails, this will be the age of "unmarriage should be punished as a crime"
It's a girl. If you don't get married at this age, it's a crime and you'll go to jail!
Xian Jin's daze made Chen Zuoniang inexplicably embarrassed.

Chen Zuoniang took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the corners of her mouth as a cover-up, did not look at Jin Jin's eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Sister Jin, please worry about tracing the red book, I will go first and bring you some Some mung bean cakes, if you are busy, eat one at least to fill your stomach."

It is equivalent to Chen Zuoniang using her own face and the efforts of the Chen family to please "Master Zhou" who has never come to propose marriage.

Xian Jin looked at the mung bean cake on the table, and then at Zuo Niang's extremely soft back, and felt like cursing.

Just as Chen Zuoniang left, Zhang Wenbo came again.

He was here to help his father's tea house steward through the back door, and he pulled out five tracing books under Xianjin's counter, with a very proud expression on his face, "Now I have a face in front of my father, something he can't even get , I was able to get it, there is Liuzhang Xuan in the front, and the tracing red book in the back. When the results of the end-of-season assessment come out, my father's ruler will definitely be merciful!"

What a humble wish.
Can't we work hard and try not to suffer this beating?
Xian Jin poured him a cup of tea with a smile, and served two plates of white jade hibiscus cake made by Zhang Ma——Since the reception area in the store was tidied up, Zhang Wenbo liked to sit here the most. Read (make up) books (sleep) on the rocking chair; when the store is not busy, chat and fart with Xian Jin, Dong Guanshi or Suoer.

Zhang Wenbo said, "The paper incense in the store soothes the nerves, sleeps well, oh no, reading books is better than other places."

Xian Jin's eyeballs moved, and a long series of thoughts ran through his mind.

Now that the red tracing books can be used as hard currency, Xian Jin thought for a while, stayed vigil to guard Boss Shang, and took out [-] red tracing books to send to Qingcheng Mountain Courtyard on Tuesday.

Qiao Shan has more relationships than Bo'er!
The next day, a small booklet folded into three folds was sent from the Qingcheng Mountain Courtyard, which looked a bit like a memorial or a dossier in a TV drama. Xian Jin opened it and read it. Eloquently composed nearly [-] characters, vertical version from the right, and traditional characters, without punctuation marks, and I can't understand it even if I have a big head.

At the bottom of the article folder, there was a single line written, "There are more than [-] volumes in the Zhuji Building of the Shanyuan, all of which are expected to be discussed by Mr. He when he is free."

Inside the article folder is a book cover of "Qingcheng Mountain Yard B".

It means to invite her to go to the library in the mountain courtyard to read books!
book!
Of course, the Chen family also has books.

The Zangshu Pavilion is in the courtyard, and next to it is the clan ancestral hall of the Chen family. There are not many books in the Chen family’s Zangshu Pavilion. They are all popular goods such as paper scores, Tiangong Kaiwu, Kaimeng Six Schools, etc. They are not professional and diverse. The nature is not very big, there are no more than fifty or sixty books at the top, which is considered a very rich collection of books among the people.

Boss Shang has a lot of books.

But the nutritional content is still a bit single...

Xian Jin held this note, feeling a little excited - some things have to be found in contemporary books, and there are many other aspects, such as the geographical distribution of this era, such as local customs, such as some basic systems, Such as transportation, such as silver system, such as official system, such as imperial examination system...

Xian Jin doesn't think there are these contents in the spiritual food "The Scholar Is Really Handsome".

These contents, whether through daily communication with Chen Fu, or with the people in the store, it is impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture.

And Qiao Fangzhi gave her the key to the new world.

　Slightly...slightly 6 minutes late...
