I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 937 Good News and Bad News

But she knew in her heart that this was a sign that Chen Shanchang cared too much about herself, so Xia Ying obediently took the bowl and drank it down.

This apricot wine was brewed together by her and Fujieer Xiaoqi, the raw material is ripe apricots.The wine brewed in this way is not high in alcohol content, but the taste is extremely mellow, and it also has a strong and pleasant apricot aroma. Drinking it in the mouth makes people feel as if they are in an apricot forest, very refreshing and pleasant.

After Xia Ying finished drinking, she really felt that her heart was much clearer.

Chen Shanchang handed over a small portion of dried apricots. "Eat something more."

Xia Ying also picked up a few dried apricots and put them into her mouth.

She said earlier that before making dried apricots, they cut open the apricot flesh, dug out the apricot core inside, knocked out the almonds and filled them back into the meat, and then pickled and dried them in the sun.So now there is no need to spit out the core of dried apricots, just bite it down, first the sweet and soft apricot flesh, and then the crisp but slightly astringent almonds.These two kinds of taste are superimposed together, which makes the sweetness of the apricot flesh much lower, and Xia Ying only feels the sweetness from the tip of her tongue to her heart.

After eating a few more, she felt that she was soothed by success.

"I'm really well now! Thank you!" She said happily to Chen Shan.

Seeing that her eyes became much brighter, Chen Shanchang also nodded. "That's good."

The old man turned his face hard again, and he sat back and continued to be his uncle.

Seeing this, Xia Ying only smiled and discussed with Mao Linglong: "Anyway, we have reached this point, we don't need to think about other things, just follow the plan at the beginning and let everyone watch the album! No matter how many people there are in the end People place orders, but this process must be completed.”

Mao Linglong nodded. "I know, I've already talked to Lu Meiren, and she's also going to make arrangements."

It seems that she really intends to entrust all the affairs of the bookstore to Lu Meiren to handle!

Xia Ying also smiled. "That's good."

However, not long after he finished speaking, he saw Lu Meiren rushing upstairs.

"Princess, concubine, it's too bad, our albums have been ordered!"

what?
Both Xia Ying and Mao Linglong were taken aback.

"So fast?" Xia Ying was surprised.

She thought that when this happened, many people would feel bad luck, and she didn't want to have anything to do with the bookstore anymore!
Mao Linglong's focus is on another point——

"It's a good thing that the album is fully booked, why do you say it's not good?"

"That's because it's not enough to book all of them. There are still a lot of people clamoring to buy them, and the number of books that have been booked will be queued for half a year!"

What the hell is this?

Xia Ying sensed something was wrong.She didn't think that people in this world have such a high demand for entertainment.

"How could this be?" she asked hastily.

"Because in addition to the dignitaries and dignitaries who came to support, many ordinary people who had just watched the excitement outside also paid for the paintings. Their original words were like this: 'The proprietress of Renjia Bookstore is a conscientious person. The inferior people in her eyes are also human beings! Just because of her heart, we have to support her business!', so..."

Uh……

Xia Ying wanted to laugh and cry in an instant.

She just blurted out a few words, and she forgot after finishing them.As a result, these ordinary people all remembered it clearly, and even supported her out of their own pockets!
Their heart really touched her heart.

But Xia Ying still shook her head. "This time, the albums are all hardcover, and one copy costs 16 taels of silver! This is enough for ordinary people to live for a year. After they paid this money, how hard will the next life be? No, we can't earn them hard-earned money!"

"My aunt, please don't worry, these ordinary people are not all hot-headed people. They have also settled the account, so now five or six families pool together to buy a picture album. In this way, the expenditure is only within their ability to bear. It's within the range." Lu Meiren hurriedly said.

After Xia Ying heard this, she was relieved.

"That's okay. However, you still have to ask someone to write down the names and addresses of the people who ordered these books. If they regret it later and want to return it, we will definitely return it unconditionally. Now that they are willing to come and give me a face, I will accept it." Already satisfied."

Lu Meiren nodded. "I know, I will arrange it now."

When she was replying, her eyes kept sweeping towards Fu Jie'er.

Seeing this, Mao Linglong asked, "But is there someone from Langya Wang's family?"

"That's not true. It's just that someone from the Wei family, the princess's mother's family, came and said from the beginning that they would order a thousand picture books."

"That's the reason why you said something was wrong, right?" Mao Linglong said.

Lu Meiren nodded. "Let's not talk about the value of a thousand picture books, but let's talk about the relationship between the princess and the concubine... I dare not make decisions on this matter. Now I have to ask the concubine and the concubine to show me."

Sister Fu is the daughter of the Crown Prince and the former Crown Princess, and this matter has already spread throughout the capital.

During Xia Ying's recuperation period, many people came to see her under the pretext of wanting to see Fu, but Gu Tuo directly turned them away.Even the greeting card from Langya Wang's family, the mother's family of Fu Jieer's mother, was directly thrown away by Gu Tuo!
So it was so easy to wait until today, when Xia Ying led sister Fu to attend the opening ceremony of the Qianjin Bookstore, these people naturally rushed to meet the daughter of the prince who was said to be very similar to the former concubine.

But everyone looked at it, but actually they didn't dare to do anything, because no matter Gu Tuo or Xia Ying, they both protected sister Fu very well!It's been almost three months, and they don't have any intention of letting their children recognize their ancestors. On the contrary, the family is enjoying themselves as always, and they don't like the prince who tears his face every day in the East Palace because he misses his daughter.

As a result, now, the current princess's natal family couldn't hold back, and then did such a thing?

They clearly wanted to use this incident to get close to Xia Ying's family!
It was about royal privacy and Xia Ying's family was implicated, Meiren Lu dared not hide it at all, so she hurriedly reported the situation to Xia Ying.

Xia Ying was also unambiguous, she directly refused. "Such a big business, it sounds very attractive! It's a pity that they bought back a thousand sets at once. Are they planning to tear them up and use them as firewood? Besides, there are only so few people in our bookstore. When will I go? I still plan to devote myself to the drawing of the next picture book! We are destined to not be able to accept this big order."

Lu Meiren understood, she nodded quickly. "Yes, I will reject them now."

She hurried downstairs.

But after a while, she came up again. "Auntie, the Wei family said they understand your difficulties, so now they only need [-] sets, and they will buy the rest when our bookstore reprints them."
