Chapter 41 Yao Jiang Lin Qingyuan
My mother finally left Donghu Town and settled in Yuezhou.
It took Lin Zhao a few days to finally clean the house, he originally wanted to find a maid to take care of his mother, but Lin Erniang refused.
After settling down with his mother, Lin Zhao still went to work in the Sanyuan Bookstore as usual, and occasionally went to the new workshop to see the progress of lead movable type.
This kind of lead movable type needs to be made with copper molds, and it is more difficult to make copper molds themselves, but fortunately, Xie Sanyuan is rich now, and he hired two coppersmiths in their forties to hide in the workshop every day to study this together.
In addition to the lead typetype, the printing ink also has to be specially made, but these are all afterwords, as long as the wording is made, other things are trivial, you can get it slowly.
Of course, in this process, Lin Zhao was more like a designer than a technician, so he spent most of his time at Sanyuan Bookstore, helping to sell the 1,000 copies of the Blue Mountains that the new workshop had printed with movable wooden type.
This book was already relatively easy to sell in Yuezhou, and the price of the book in Sanyuan Bookstore was almost half of that of other bookstores, so after Lin Zhao put out the promotional billboard, it only took seven days to sell out, and some people would buy seven or eight copies at once, and then resell them.
Of course, there are some peers from the three-yuan bookstore who come to buy this extremely cheap book, and want to figure out how the three-yuan bookstore has pushed the price so low.
Lin Zhao was not interested in asking about these things, he just watched the store and sold books in the bookstore every day, and was occasionally teased and teased by some Huaichun girls, and his life was leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
A maid who looked to be about sixteen years old, her appearance was also quite delicate, she held two hand-copied scripts in her hands, and while paying, she looked at Lin Zhao intently, and her voice was soft.
"San Lang, when are you going to rest, the lotus flowers in the Big Buddha Temple are blooming, let's go see the lotus together."
In the face of this level of harassment, Lin Zhao was already at ease, and a smile appeared on his face: "Sister, I am the only one watching in this store, the boss has been absent, and I can't rest." ”
"When you take a break one day, you must inform my sister."
"Saburo is really a hardworking teenager."
The maid had a smile on her face, and then snorted softly: "It's a pity that the owner of this bookstore has a black heart." ”
She originally came out to buy books for the young lady in the family to go back for recreation, since she first met Lin Zhao, she often went to the Sanyuan bookstore to patronize, and today she has come six or seven times.
She looked at Lin Zhao's handsome face, and even stood at the counter and chatted and refused to leave, and when it was almost noon, this young girl with a spring took one last glance at Lin Zhao and reluctantly left.
It was noon at this time, and after she left, there were basically no customers in the bookstore, Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to clean up the books in the shop that were messed up by the guests, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"One sister in one mouth, it's so nice."
Lin Zhao raised his eyes and saw that a girl in Tsing Yi, who was only fifteen years old, walked in with a rice basket in her hand.
Although there was no expression on his face, Lin Zhao could still clearly feel Xie Yanran's emotions.
Bulging ......
Lin Saburo walked over with a smile, reached out to take the rice basket from her hand, and said with a smile: "It's just a guest who often comes to buy books, always have to say a few good words, that girl just now has come to buy books six or seven times, but she has made a lot of money in the shop." ”
Xie Yuran didn't leave after delivering the meal this time, but followed Lin Zhao into the shop, she looked up at Lin Zhao's face, and muttered in a low voice: "I listened outside for a long time just now, and you and that girl had a good chat." ”
"She also asked you to go with her to the Big Buddha Temple to burn incense!"
Speaking of this, she pouted and said, "I'll tell Daddy when I go back today, I don't want you to be a buddy here, and I will recruit another shop!" ”
Lin Zhao had already opened the rice basket at this time, and looked up at Xie Yuran with a smile when he heard this.
"Sister Xie, spare me, I still count on Uncle Xie to pay me."
Xie Yuran also sat down opposite Lin Zhao, pouted and said: "You don't have to coax me, a few days ago, someone suddenly sent a lot of money to Daddy, and then I asked him, he said that you are half of him, and now you are also a rich man, where do you still use it to work in my house?" ”
Regarding this topic, Lin Zhao did not answer.
Speaking of which, his 5,000 guan is still in Lin Jian's place, and the money on his body now is still the dividends from the sale of Blue Mountain Collection, a total of more than 100 yuan.
"Every day when I look at the shop, I know that I chat with some women, and you can't see the books lost in the shop."
Xie Yuran looked at Lin Zhao angrily.
"Why don't you go with her to the Big Buddha Temple tomorrow to see the lotus flowers."
"Isn't that not lost?"
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Besides, I will pay if I lose the book, as for the Big Buddha Temple, I can't go if I want to, Uncle Xie hasn't come to the bookstore for seven or eight days, as soon as I leave, who will watch this shop?" ”
Xie Yuran snorted lightly: "My father will never come to the bookstore again, so I will let you watch it alone, saving you from your young age and going out to mess with flowers." ”
Lin Zhao was originally eating with his head down, but when he heard this, he looked up at Xie Yuran, who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile: "I just heard that girl say that the lotus flowers in the Big Buddha Temple are blooming, and they are very beautiful, and I am going to take a leave with Uncle Xie tomorrow and go to see it with Sister Xie, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to go." ”
Xie Yuran's face was slightly red, he stood up directly, reached out and picked up the rice basket in Lin Zhao's hand, and bit his teeth lightly.
"You're a person with a mouth full of flowers, ignoring you."
With that, she turned and walked away.
Lin Zhao didn't get up to send him off, but sat on the chair and looked at Xie Yanran's back, and then lowered his head to pick up the rice.
This spring girl is very cute.
……………………
Just when Boss Lin was leisurely wandering every day and looking at the store comfortably, an ordinary carriage stopped at the gate of Donghu Town, and it didn't take long for a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties to come down from the carriage.
Not long after he entered, Lin Xian, the eldest son of the Lin family, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him, "My son has seen my father." ”
Obviously, this middle-aged man is Lin Qingyuan, who is the master in Yaojiang County next door.
Lin Qingyuan nodded, stretched out his hand to help his eldest son up, and asked, "What about your mother?" ”
"My mother is injured and is still recuperating in bed?"
Lin Qingyuan frowned slightly. continued to ask: "Why don't you see Erlang Sanlang, and Erniang?" ”
The matter in Donghu Town actually did not alarm Lin Qingyuan, he received Lin Sizheng's letter, so he went back to Donghu Town, wanting to deal with the affairs of the family.
Therefore, he didn't know that Lin Zhao and Lin Erniang were no longer in Donghu Town.
Lin Xian smiled bitterly, bowed his head and said: "The second brother entered the family school a few days ago, in order not to delay his study, his mother did not tell him about the injury, he is still studying in Yuezhou, as for the third brother, ......"
Lin Xian gritted his teeth and said, "The third brother and the second mother have already lived in the house of the seventh uncle in Yuezhou City, and they haven't come back for a long time......
