  Chapter 42 Look Down

   "Okay." Xin You nodded without hesitation, and simply called Jiang Shuang over.

   Seeing Hanxue kneeling on the ground, Jiangshuang was a little surprised: "What orders does the girl have?"

   "I didn't ask you what you meant before, I was negligent. Hanxue wanted to stay, I agreed, and I want to ask your thoughts. Don't worry about me getting angry, just do whatever you want."

   Xin You really wanted to choose, the only one she wanted to take away was Xiao Lian, it would be more convenient without the others.

  Jiangshuang glanced at Hanxue, who was silent, in surprise, and said: "The servant girl wants to follow the girl."

  Xin You's tone was gentle, so as not to put pressure on the little maid: "Think about it."

   "The maid has made up her mind, the maid will follow you to the bookstore."

  Xin You nodded and went into the house.

  Hanxue was puzzled by Jiang Shuang's choice, pulled her and asked in a low voice: "Why did you go out with the girl? It's not easy for a girl to go outside, especially a girl who hasn't left the cabinet like this. The girl didn't blame her, why don't you stay?"

  Jiangshuang also didn't understand Hanxue's choice: "The girl has a shop and servants, why is it not easy? Isn't it better to run the bookstore with the girl than to stay here? Besides, it's not enough for the girl to have sister Xiaolian and a maid by her side."

  Hanxue also understood that what she did was not kind, so she didn't say anything at the moment, but she scolded a fool in her heart.

  Once the girl loses her good reputation, it will be difficult for them to marry in the future if they serve her closely. Jiang Shuang is not being stupid or anything.

   When saying goodbye to the old lady the next day, Xin You proposed to keep Hanxue on the grounds that she wanted to keep more people at Wanqingju.

  The old lady didn't care about the departure of a little maid, she agreed without asking.

  Xin You came in front of Duan Wenbai and Zhu Shi, and blessed her body: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your constant care."

  Zhu sighed inwardly, and said softly: "If you are not used to being outside, come home."

   Now that she is in charge of the house, although she can't do too much for the poor child, it's okay to let her eat and live comfortably.

  Xin You could hear the sincerity in Zhu's words, thank you again.

  Duan Yunling didn't dare to be too eager in front of the old lady, and looked at Xin You with bright eyes: "Cousin Qing, you should come back often."

   "Yes. If Ling Cousin goes to the street, you can go to the bookstore to find me at any time."

   After a scene of farewell, Xin You finally boarded the carriage to Qingsong Bookstore.

  Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief in the carriage: "Finally, I've left the den of tigers and wolves. Girl, you are really amazing."

  Xin You bent her lips: "It's not too late to praise me after you get back half of Miss Kou's family wealth."

   "Girl, do you have a solution?"

   "Take your time, the time is not up now, and it's useless to say more."

   Arriving at Qingsong Bookstore, the carriage went directly through the door of the house behind. People in the house who had heard the news gathered over and saluted Xin You.

   There are eight people in total, one janitor, two sweepers, two laundry menders, one cooker, and two patrolling nurses.

  Xin You handed these people over to Nanny Fang to take care of them, Xiao Lian took Jiang Shuang to sort out the things she brought, and went to the front bookstore by herself.

  The bookstore was deserted, and shopkeeper Hu and his staff were still staring at each other.

   "Boss, you're here." Seeing Xin You, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly greeted him, holding a written notice in his hand, "See if this works, if it's okay, the villain will post it."

  Xin You glanced at it, and found no objection, and clicked on the amount: "Change fifty taels of silver to five hundred taels."

   Shopkeeper Hu was shocked: "Five hundred taels?"

"Um."

   "Boss, is this a bit high?" Shopkeeper Hu euphemistically reminded, but it didn't feel that it was a bit high, but it was too high.

   "If you can buy a good story, it's not expensive at all. The shopkeeper should post the notice."

   Shopkeeper Hu had no choice but to listen. When posting the notice, he sighed to the clerk in a complicated mood: "The owner is really generous. No wonder he spent 20,000 taels to buy a bookstore."

  If these were his children, he would call him a prodigal.

  The buddy’s mood is more complicated than Shopkeeper Hu’s, but you, Shopkeeper Xindao, are really pure and ignorant.

  After the notice was posted, many people gathered soon.

   "If the story is liked, can I get five hundred taels of silver?"

   "Really, isn't this too high?"

   "That's right, could it be that the story was written with gold powder?"

   Shocked, people rushed to ask shopkeeper Hu.

   Shopkeeper Hu made a circle and bowed: "Can the posted notice be fake? There is a really good story, and there will be no less than five hundred taels of silver."

  Even if he thinks the price is inappropriate, he can't show his timidity to the new owner.

   "Shopkeeper Hu, your new owner has courage."

   Shopkeeper Hu smiled: "I also ask everyone to help spread the word."

  Everyone hurriedly said: "No problem."

  Five hundred taels to buy a story, such a rare thing, even if the shopkeeper doesn't ask, I can't help but talk about it everywhere.

  There were more and more people gathered in front of Qingsong Bookstore, the storekeeper of Yaxin Bookstore opposite could not help but come out, and sent his staff to inquire about the situation.

"Five hundred taels for a story?" The shopkeeper of Yaxin Bookstore sneered after hearing the information from the staff, "It's an idea to buy a horse bone with a lot of money, but it's a pity that writing a storybook is no better than others, and you can't buy it if you are willing to spend money A well-received story."

  Although he said so, the shopkeeper of Yaxin Bookstore was still worried, and sent his staff to order a table of good noodles for Mr. Ping An.

Shopkeeper Hu walked into the bookstore, and excitedly handed over to Xin You: "Boss, I understand your good intentions. Although five hundred taels of silver is a lot to buy a story, people will know it all at once. When our bookstore releases new books, Many people will buy it out of curiosity.”

   This is what shopkeeper Hu reacted to when he saw more and more people surrounding him and the deadly enemy on the opposite side.

   He misunderstood the boss!

  Xin You did not deny the shopkeeper's words: "There is part of the reason."

   Shopkeeper Hu was startled: "Is there any other benefits?"

  Xin You didn't answer, but said with a smile, "The shopkeeper will accompany me to the printing shop."

   Another reason is that the fat and water don’t need to flow to outsiders’ fields, and she plans to earn the five hundred taels of silver herself.

  Of course I can’t say this, Xin You doesn’t intend to let the whole capital know that the cousin girl in Shaoqing Mansion can write books.

  The outside of Qingsong Bookstore was very lively, but the inside of the printing workshop was dead, and the complaints of several craftsmen could clearly be heard in Xinyou's ears.

   "If it was published last year, the book will have to be printed again. Is the new owner burning too much money?"

   "Yeah, I don't think this bookstore will be open for long..."

   "A little girl, if she doesn't stay at home well, she runs out to open a bookstore, isn't she fooling around!"

   "Ahem!" Shopkeeper Hu coughed heavily.

   "The owner, the shopkeeper." Several craftsmen saluted awkwardly.

  Seeing Xin You's expressionless face, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly said, "They are all rough people, boss, please don't take it to heart."

  Xin You glanced at a few people, and smiled: "No, everyone just works hard, and the bookstore will definitely last for a long time."

   Thanks to Xixi for having clouds and willow leaves in winter, and Ai AMY for being the helmsman of "The Golden Branch".
