Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 968 Invite Ma Liu to Dinner

Zhao Tiansheng's book theft was settled, but Jiang Zitao was terrified.After finding Liu Ya, he repeatedly admitted his mistakes, saying that he must do it himself in the future, I am afraid that Liu Ya would not want to use him anymore because of this.

You know, the price Liu Ya gave him is not low, and now that Feihong Fang sells a lot, even though he is a ghostwriter for Liu Ya, he is already well-known and a half-literati.

For a scholar who doesn't even have a reputation, not only can he support himself by selling calligraphy, but also has such a coveted thing as fame, he must stick to it.

Liu Ya didn't have any good words to comfort her this time, she said bluntly: "You are to blame for what happened to Zhao Tiansheng. I want to distinguish between rewards and punishments, so I must punish you."

Jiang Zitao naturally had no complaints, as long as Liu Ya was willing to use him, he would be willing to fine some money.

On the one hand, Jiang Zitao was punished, and on the other hand, Liu Ya praised Zhou Dongsheng, who printed the book.This time, if he hadn't discovered it in time and reminded Liu Ya, when Feihong Fang came to the door with a pirated book, Liu Ya would have been passive.

Therefore, Liu Ya directly increased Zhou Dongsheng's wages and let him act as an agent of the printing workshop.Although on the surface the workshop was still borrowed from Nanling, in fact, most of the things were left to Zhou Dongsheng to decide.

And this whole thing, from Feihongfang's appearance, to Zhao Tiansheng being arrested and fined by the government, to the news of the closure of many small bookstores, it was only three or four days.

It can be seen that as long as it is something that the officials want to investigate thoroughly, if the people above turn their mouths, the bottom will be turned upside down.

Stepping up to the formal stage, the current treasurer Fang of Feihongfang is still negotiating with Liu Ya to increase the share of printed books and ask Liu Ya to find more ghostwriters and write more books. Feihongfang will also develop greatly in his hands. field.

Liu Ya is naturally willing to discuss business with ambitious people, and she can also flex her muscles.What's more, Feihongfang's backing is big and stable, and it's good to enjoy the shade under this big tree, so she wants to hold it firmly.

Liu Ya has never pretended to be lofty, so she naturally understands the principle of relying on whoever has a backer and whoever has connections.

It is said that people cannot be poor and short-sighted, but poor people can't even talk about ambition, so what is the difference?Whether it is ambition or backbone, it all depends on where you are.

If you were an emperor, the world would kneel down and kowtow when seeing you; if you were a beggar, wild dogs on the street might bark at you; this is a real class issue, and there is no reason at all.

In this way, Liu Ya's business can be regarded as a new level.In just a few days, the bookstore's sales more than doubled.

"Xiu Ning, prepare some good dishes, buy two jars of good wine, and call Ma Liu and his wife over tonight, let's celebrate." Liu Ya also deliberately took advantage of this matter to give away the house she bought earlier. For Ma Liu and Xiaoying.

When they bought that house, the family just packed their bags and prepared to go back to their hometown.When the contract was handed over, he discussed with Liu Ya, saying that the house would be vacated within three to five days at the most.It's almost time to calculate.

It happened to take this opportunity to get together with Ma Liu, and then discuss with him about assigning a few assistants to other official roads to find suitable positions for semicolons.

From the time when "Quanqing Zhuxiang" was still a small water shop, Liu Ya planned to open the semicolon to the pipelines all over the country, and she had to rely on the road to get her way.

The rare thing is that Ma Liu can be regarded as a talent. She not only wants Ma Liu to help her cultivate a few people who have business acumen and can shoulder the burden alone; It must be opened.

In this way, there are her semicolons in all parts of the country and on all major roads, no matter the speed of news exchange or the coverage area is the widest.

In the evening, both Ma Liu and Xiaoying came.As soon as she entered this small courtyard, Xiaoying was amazed at the beauty and fragrance of jasmine.

Liu Ya smiled and said: "Come in and sit down, I'll check your pulse first to see when the baby in your stomach will come out. Then talk while eating, I have something good to tell you."

Xiaoying followed Liu Ya into the house, and Ma Liu sighed from behind: "I didn't expect the master to diagnose the pulse in person, what an honor it is."

Liu Ya smiled and said: "It's good that you know. I will arrange more important tasks for you later, and you have to do your best for me."

Ma Liu repeatedly agreed, and then went to help Xiuning arrange the dishes.Here, Liu Ya told him not to be cautious, he treated it like his own home, he didn't feel like a guest, so he didn't just sit and wait for dinner.

After Liu Ya showed Xiaoying, the two came to the dinner table talking and laughing together.

Ma Liu was naturally impatient and asked about Xiaoying's child.

Liu Ya smiled and said, "With me, a disciple of a genius doctor, seeing your wife, why are you nervous? It's fine, everything is fine, and the child is growing strong. I think he will be a big fat boy at birth."

Ma Liu was relieved when he heard that Xiaoying was fine and the child was fine.

Four people sat around a table and started to move.After drinking for three rounds, Liu Ya asked Xiuning to take out a brocade box, pushed it in front of Ma Liu and Xiaoying, and said, "I didn't get the wedding wine for your marriage, but I have to give you a gift. It just so happens that your eldest son is about to If they were born, I would combine them together and give them a big gift."

Xiaoying heard that it was a "big gift", and quickly pushed the brocade box back, saying: "Master, it is your teaching and guidance that our husband and wife can have what they are today. I dare not accept this gift, we don’t even need to look at it, we just can’t accept it.”

Ma Liu also nodded and said: "Xiaoying's words are right. She knows what I was like before, and I know what I am like myself. If it wasn't for you, the master, to teach me a lesson, I'm afraid I'd die in the gambling house now. Or , or it may be like that Li Dahammer, who was designed to owe debts, and he didn't know how he was calculated, and he would spend a lifetime in prison. So we can't want this."

Liu Ya shook her head and said: "One yard is worth one yard. I did help you at the beginning, but it is enough for you to repay me with sincerity. Now you are my friends and people who help me take care of business. Gifts are based on emotion and reason, and should be given from top to bottom. If you don't accept it, you are too cautious, you don't regard me as a friend, or are you unwilling to help me with all your heart?"

When Ma Liu and Xiaoying heard this, they quickly said "no". Xiaoying showed some difficulty and said, "Then I'll open the box and have a look. If it's too expensive, I can't accept it."

Liu Ya said: "It's not a box of Ye Mingzhu, what are you afraid of? It's only a few dozen taels of silver, our friendship is actually more than this price."
