Chapter 40: Two Letters

The evening breeze is light and the lights are dim.

Fu Xiaoguan sat in front of the window, holding two letters in his hands.

One was written by Fu Daguan, and the other was written by Dong Shulan, who opened Dong Shulan's letter.

This little girl's words are really beautiful, every time she looks at the fly-headed small block of this paper, Fu Xiaoguan is very envious, and then makes up his mind to practice calligraphy, and then his heart is haggard.

"Petty official, see the letter!

Recently, there was a rainstorm in Jinling, and the flowers in my yard were knocked to the ground, and it looked quite desolate, so I pulled out all those flowers. ”

Fu Xiaoguan laughed, this girl is getting more and more deviated.

"When the wine is finished, when will I send some more, of course there is still no money, but the book of Red Mansion Yimeng sold very well, and earned a total of 3,700 taels of silver, I was going to send your share to you, but after thinking about it, the shipping fee is quite expensive, and it will not be cost-effective in case there is a mistake along the way, so I tell you, I have stored all the silver in my account, and I will give it to you after you come to Jinling."

"I also want to go to Xishan Villa, but now I have no reason, my father won't let me run around, and I can't say it's unseemly."

"That book hasn't been updated for a long time, and there are people urging the bookstore every day, but the main pressure is still in the palace, I said can you write it quickly? It's all silver, although the previous ones are still selling very well, but if you break it like this, I guess those young ladies and women will really run to Linjiang to find you. ”

"I've been bored lately, so I've thought I'd make you a dress. I went to buy the cloth, thinking about the size you can wear, and cut it, but when I sewed, I sewed the front and back upside down, I didn't mean to, so I had to ask Xiaoqi to buy the cloth again, and send it to you next time. ”

"What have you been up to lately? I wanted to know, oh, by the way, that Zhang Wenhan came to me a few times and invited me to a poetry meeting, but I refused, that person was very annoying, like a fly. ”

"Okay, that's it, I'm all right, and may you be all right too!"

Simple.

Fu Xiaoguan liked it very much.

The two exchanged letters many times, and although they never saw each other again, they seemed more familiar and cordial, and their words became more casual.

That wisp of affection is still buried in the bottom of my heart, and no one takes the initiative to put it forward, as if it is allowed to take root freely. As for whether this seed can thrive and even blossom and bear fruit in the end, neither of them has deliberately thought about it at this moment, but in the dead of night, looking at the stars in the sky, there is some longing.

He thought about it for a while, and also took up the pen and wrote a letter.

"Shulan is good!

I've been really busy lately, the construction of Xishan is in full swing, and everything is going on in an orderly manner. ”

"You're right to pull out the flowers, because I have many, many, many flowers in this kind, all kinds of flowers, and those flowers will bloom in three or two months, and the whole village will become a sea of flowers."

"There is a glimmer of hope for the rice that I talked to you about before, but it will take at least three years to see the results."

"A dream of Red Mansions has only been written twice, I will send it to you first, I will try my best to put it in the back, and it is best to put the silver on you, if you fancy anything worth investing, you can spend it, it is not cost-effective to save money."

"I've grown a little taller, and I don't know if you can wear the clothes you made, but I like it anyway."

"In addition, I have designed a dress for you, if you can make it, I promise it will be comfortable to wear."

"If you have a chance to come to Linjiang, I'll take you to play."

"I almost forgot, the wine will be sent to you, but drink less, okay, that's all."

Fu Xiaoguan picked up a piece of paper, drew a bra and hood on the paper with charcoal, and also noted what material to use and how to measure the size, and then laughed, thinking if the little girl would be embarrassed when she saw this thing.

He believed that Dong Shulan would get this thing out, because she had a strong ability to accept new things.

This is actually a business opportunity, and the market is huge, but Fu Xiaoguan doesn't have time to pay attention to it now, so he understands whether Shulan will operate this thing.

Then he opened the letter from Fu Daguan.

"Son, the mining approval you want is being handled by my father, and the path of Liu Zhidong, who is looking for Liu Sanye, has now reached Liu Zhizhou's hands, and it is estimated that it will come down soon. But the government has to collect three percent of the tax on production, and you have to add it up. ”

"You want to go back to Linjiang, first, the approval document needs to be signed by you, and secondly, the father is a little overwhelmed, many rich and noble women want to marry you, and the father doesn't know if you have a favorite woman, so I don't dare to make decisions for you, and I am in a dilemma."

"I met Zhang Zhice a few days ago, his face was very ugly, did you do something wrong with the girl in his family? Zhang Peier has seen it for her father, which is very good. If you have already won it, marry it back, and don't ruin the reputation of other girls. ”

"Seeing that you spend money so much, I am very happy for my father, don't have any worries, spend boldly, so that my father feels that it is meaningful to make money."

Later, Balabala said some short things in the family, Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose, but he didn't expect that he would become a sought-after commodity now.

It's been a long time since I've written poetry, and I'm already very low-key, how can this still happen?

He thought about it, things are going on in an orderly manner on this side of Xishan, and it can only be like this in a short period of time, so let's go back to Linjiang tomorrow, just to find Yu Ji Liuli Shop to make some test tube bottles, the laboratory has not yet skimmed, and those flowers have just sprouted, Fu Xiaoguan decided to get out the utensils for extracting alcohol in advance.

……

Fu Xiaoguan didn't know that the book A Dream of Red Mansions was not only popular in Jinling, but now it has spread to Linjiang.

Zhang Peier has one in his hand, and it is still the latest issue.

She sat in front of the window and looked at the book stupidly, tearing page by page, tearing to shreds.

On the title page of this book, Fu Xiaoguan wrote four big characters, which was Dong Shulan's intention, she wanted to make a name for Fu Xiaoguan and add a bargaining chip to the problems she might face in the future.

At present, everyone in the palace who has read this book knows that there is a talented man named Fu Xiaoguan in Linjiang, and it has also reached His Majesty's ears, so this is the result that Dong Shulan wants, even if Fu Xiaoguan has no official status, but he is famous all over the world, his parents and elder brother will naturally think about it more.

However, Zhang Peier looked at this name and felt extremely dazzling.

Of course, this book is very well written, and of course this man has great talents, but he ...... But they rejected me!

Hearing that many women from families wanted to marry him, Zhang Peier smiled contemptuously, but she was afraid that these women, like herself, were all intentional and ruthless.

Does he really like Dong Shulan?

There is no possibility for them, how could the daughter of Shangshu Mansion marry the son of a merchant family?

If I can't get him, then no one can think of him!

She set the crumbs on fire, and the firelight reflected her face.

The girl, who was only fourteen years old and was still a little short of turning fifteen, made a bold decision.
