  Chapter 92 Get out

   Soon after watching "Painted Skin", the rumor spread that the dishonest husband could be corrected.

  Reading a story from a storybook can still have this effect?

   Some female customers who heard that "Painted Skin" was too scary, either didn't believe it, or were curious, still couldn't help but bought it.

  A well-to-do family, the maid brought the "Painted Skin" she just bought to the hostess, a little worried: "Do you really want to see it? I heard it's scary."

  The hostess took it, hesitated and opened the book: "It's just a book."

  In fact, she is very timid, especially when her husband is often not at home, and she is the only one who goes to bed at night, and the shadows of the trees outside the window will make her think wildly, so she wants to ask her maid to sleep with her.

   But I heard that this book can make men more honest. Thinking about the speculation these days, she still wants to read it.

  The woman bit her lip and mustered up her courage to look.

  She saw Wang Sheng looking in through the window, and the green-faced, long-toothed ghost was carefully drawing on the human skin with a pen.

  Mr. Song Ling's writing is full of power, as if people can see the picture directly.

  The chill climbed up her spine, making her shiver unknowingly, but the plot attracted her to watch it again. When she saw Wang Sheng being torn apart by the evil spirit, the woman was terrified and at the same time felt subtly refreshed.

  Seeing the end, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the maidservant: "This story is good, let me read it for you to listen to."

  The woman read "Painted Skin" once, and asked the maid with a smile, "How do you feel after hearing this story?"

  The maidservant knew that the mistress had a good temper, so she told the truth: "The maidservant thinks that Wang Sheng's wife is really worth it. Wang Sheng was obsessed with **** and was killed by an evil spirit. She endured the insult of a beggar in order to save Wang Sheng..."

  The woman listened in a daze, and finally smiled like a cover-up, and reached out and tapped the maidservant's forehead: "You are so young, you always have so many weird ideas. Go to work."

   Waiting until night, the host rarely came back.

  The woman chatted like a normal person: "I bought the second part of "Painted Skin", do you want to see it, sir?"

  Different from women who love to read story books, the male protagonist's hobbies are not here, but it is still possible to pass the time when there is nothing to do.

  So he reached out to take it, and looked slowly.

   Shopkeeper Hu saw more and more female customers who came to buy "Painted Skin", smiled from ear to ear, and said with emotion: "The boss is still capable."

  Liu Zhou nodded in agreement: "No, even the original owner said that the bookstore should be sold to the owner early, and urged me to ask the owner when Mr. Song Ling will publish new books."

   Shopkeeper Hu's mouth twitched.

  Don’t mention the prodigal son of the original boss who sells his father’s land, otherwise he will feel sorry for the old boss.

  Suddenly a voice came: "Is your boss here?"

  As soon as shopkeeper Hu looked up, he saw a young woman wearing a woman's bun standing in the hall, followed by a little maid.

   "Our boss has gone out. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. When the boss comes back, the little old man will tell her."

   "I'm here to thank your boss." The young woman hesitated for a moment, and glanced at the maidservant.

  The maid hurriedly put the gifts she brought on the counter next to Shopkeeper Hu.

   "This is—" Shopkeeper Hu was a little confused.

"My husband has not been home for the past six months. He watched "Painted Skin" two days ago, and suddenly came back to apologize to me. It turned out that he had a relationship with a woman six months ago and often stayed with her. He watched "Painted Skin" After that, I became suspicious, and I paid more attention to find out that the woman was conspiring with someone to take over my shop..."

  After the young woman finished speaking, she congratulated shopkeeper Hu: "Fortunately, your boss bought such a good story as "Painted Skin" and put it on sale, which saved our family from this catastrophe."

   Shopkeeper Hu: "..." I never expected that the rumors they made in order to fight back against Yaxin Bookstore would actually have an effect!

   It was not only shopkeeper Hu who heard these words, but also other guests who walked into the bookstore.

   For the gossip-loving people in Beijing, this incident undoubtedly gathered all the characteristics worth spreading, so it spread in a short time.

   Few people know who the hostess and hostess of the event is. The key is that this event is so interesting. For a moment, not to mention the swarms of female customers, even those who didn't read the scriptures would join in the fun and come to buy a copy.

  No way, people now talk about "Painted Skin" when they meet, and they can't talk about it without reading this book.

  Qingsong Bookstore was so busy that their feet never touched the ground, and one person wished he could have eight hands.

  Shitou plucked up the courage to ask shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper, my mother is almost in good health, can she come back to work?"

  Shitou Niang was working at Qingsong Bookstore when she was not sick, and shopkeeper Hu nodded when she heard this: "No problem, but I have to tell the boss."

  Xin You didn't expect to promote "Painted Skin" in a different direction to have such an effect. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to investigate Gu Changbo.

  When shopkeeper Hu mentioned Shitou Niang, she nodded without hesitation: "The shopkeeper looks at the arrangement. If there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, hire some. Don't tire people out."

  Although shopkeeper Hu was moved by his boss's thoughtfulness, he had no plans to recruit people immediately.

  Qingsong Bookstore is now a big tree that attracts people's envy, and rushing to hire people is likely to attract some uneasy and kind people. The bookstore is in such a good situation, I would rather be a little tired during this period of time than make mistakes.

   Soon Shitou Niang was led by Shitou to Xin You, and she kowtowed to Xin You firmly. Qingsong Bookstore has since added a woman who is good at sewing.

  Qingsong Bookstore is booming, but Yaxin Bookstore is becoming more and more deserted.

  The shopkeeper Gu was scolded by his boss, and followed the instructions of his boss to kick Mr. Pingan out of the house.

   "I'm sorry, sir, the store is not doing well, please find another job."

  Mr. Ping An is a man in his forties, tall, with a goatee and a literati face. Hearing these words, he felt greatly insulted.

   "Shopkeeper, that's not what you said when you invited me to Yaxin Bookstore."

   "At this time, at that time, I never thought that my husband's new book would be completely defeated by an unknown book writer, causing great losses to our bookstore."

   "You guys don't keep promises!" Mr. Ping An angrily pointed at Shopkeeper Gu.

   Shopkeeper Gu's face sank: "I advise you, sir, to get together so that we don't look bad on each other."

  Mr. Pingan knew that the owner behind shopkeeper Gu was not a good person, so he snorted coldly, picked up his bag and walked out of Yaxin Bookstore.

  The shopkeeper Gu deliberately chose to rush people early in the morning, and the opposite Qingsong Bookstore hadn't opened yet.

  Mr. Ping An stood with a bag on the street in the bleak autumn wind, blowing the cool breeze for a while, and strode towards Qingsong Bookstore.

  Liu Zhou heard the knock on the door and opened the door: "Who is it, early in the morning—"

  Seeing the people outside the store, the young man was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a strange tone: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Pingan, what's the matter early in the morning?"

  Looking at the way he is carrying the burden, he must not be kicked out by Yaxin Bookstore, right?

Hey!
