Chapter Thirty-Nine: Master Bi Returns Home
Bi Zhizhou persuaded Mei Niang hard, since he had just heard what happened to Mei Niang, he was extremely reluctant to suffer Mei Niang himself here.
It turned out that Mei Niang told him that she had come to the capital to join her relatives. There was a famine in her hometown, and everyone in the family died except her. When she arrived in the capital, her relatives were unwilling to take her in and beat her up. Mei Niang couldn't, so she had to be an embroidery girl in the embroidery village, living on a meager income, and this small courtyard was also rented temporarily. If it weren't for the drunken Lord Bi yesterday and falling in love at first sight, he might have left the capital today and planned to find someone to marry casually.
The more Bi Zhizhou thought about it, the more distressed he became, this is the fate of heaven between himself and Mei Niang. Since Mei Niang followed her with her innocence, she must be responsible for Mei Niang. But no matter how much he persuaded her, Mei Niang just refused to agree to go back with her.
"My lord, I was drunk last night, so something happened with Mei Niang that shouldn't have happened. Although Mei Niang likes adults, she also knows that etiquette and honesty are shameful, and Mei Niang will never go back with adults. As he spoke, he directly pushed Bi Zhizhou out of the door, and no matter how Bi Zhizhou beat him, he just didn't open it, and he cried in the house. Bi Zhizhou couldn't, so he had to tell Mei Niang that he would definitely come over tomorrow, let Mei Niang wait for him, don't leave, and he would definitely give her an explanation when the time came. Then he turned back three times and was reluctant to leave.
After Bi Zhizhou left, Mei Niang turned around and came to the backyard to release the carrier pigeon in the cage.
Shen Zhao was snatching the food on the table with Dark Second and Dark Third in the house, when he saw a carrier pigeon fall on the window lattice, and knew that Mei Niang's side had done it.
Shen Zhao put the chopsticks on the table and looked at the two people who were gobbling up next to him, and even the dark three didn't have his usual coldness. It's really a bite of food that stumps the hero.
"You two only know how to eat, so you can help. I didn't eat less, and I didn't do anything. Shen Zhao was so resentful of the two of them that he was busy working before. Now these two people are good, just watching the excitement from the side.
"You're done, what else can we do? But don't talk about the boss, you're getting more and more in the shadows now, and it's not long before you can do it, and your brothers are probably not your opponents. You'll have to be merciful when the time comes. Shen Er quipped, it is really wonderful to be by Miss Shen's side, and this excitement every day is a change of law, as if watching a big drama.
"Cut, don't just know how to eat, talk to the prince, this time you have to teach the Bi family a good lesson. Shen Zhao said that since he followed Shen Man'er, he is now loyal to Miss. Thinking that Miss's enemy is his own enemy, he can't wait for the Bi family to never turn over again.
"Do you still need to say it? I've already told the prince, let's just wait and see a good show. After saying that, the three of them continued to grab food. When all the dishes on the table were clean, the three of them were only half-full. So Shen Zhao could only take the amount of food from the four people again under the frightened eyes of the kitchen aunt.
Bifu. "Madam, the lord is back. Mrs. Bi and Bi Gang fought for a long time, and just after the intermission, they heard a report from the maid outside the door.
"Dead old man, if you don't come back sooner or later, you won't come back sooner, but I'll come back at this time. Mrs. Bi said as she wore her clothes, and there were bruises on her plump body. Bi Gang stretched out his hand and hooked her in his arms, reluctant to steal another kiss.
"Get up, he's all back. As a steward, you have to wait outside. Bi Gang couldn't, so he had to let go of the beauty in his arms and get dressed. "I'll go out through the window first, and then you pretend to be haggard, and then I'll go out. Mrs. Bi replied that she knew, so she asked Bi Gang to go out of the window, and she picked up the powder and smeared it on her face for a while, until her face was pale and her eyes were haggard, and then she walked out of the door satisfied.
Mrs. Bi walked out of the door, and Bi Gang was already standing beside Bi Zhizhou and waiting. bent slightly, and when he saw Mrs. Bi coming out, he secretly threw a flying eye at her, which provoked Mrs. Bi to scold him in her heart.
"The master is back" Mrs. Bi asked tepidly, looking at Bi Zhizhou as if he was sleeping well, it was a heartwarming.
"Well, I'm tired today. Sleep in the den tonight. You don't have to come over if it's okay. After speaking, he ignored Mrs. Bi. A group of people were left to look at the suddenly powerful old man and were dumbfounded.
"Sir, where did you go last night? Mrs. Bi asked, she didn't expect that this old thing would dare to show her face when she came back today.
"I got drunk at the Panda Tavern, and if someone hadn't sent me to the inn, I would have slept on the street last night. After Bi Zhizhou finished speaking, he ignored everyone and walked to the study alone.
"Sir, where have you been? After Mrs. Bi finished speaking, only the breeze blew, and she didn't even respond. Mrs. Bi was angry, and a silk handkerchief was twisted directly into her hand.
The butler quietly stretched out his hand behind him and grabbed Mrs. Bi's clothes, and Mrs. Bi only felt that the clothes suddenly drooped, and she smelled the familiar smell beside her.
"Isn't it just right for an old thing to sleep in a study. Bi Gang whispered, and only the two of them could hear the voice. From a distance, you can only see the butler standing behind Madame, and nothing else can be seen.
This night, several people fell asleep with their own thoughts.
Five days later, the first volume of "Dream of Red Mansions" was officially released, and Shen Man'er sat in the private room of Yipinzhai with her third brother as her daughter, looking at the crowds of people in the ink studio opposite. Long before the start of sales, everyone knew that "Dream of Red Mansions" was compiled by Tang Dacai and personally guided by Luo Lao.
People in the capital who don't admire Tang Yin's literary brilliance, who don't want to be fortunate enough to be guided by Luo Lao, how can such a book that can meet everyone's expectations not sell today.
"Little sister, I didn't expect it to be so popular, how many copies have you printed this time. Shen Yibin looked at the scene downstairs in amazement. Thinking of the opening of the restaurant mentioned by Xiaomei before, he is now very confident. I have found a suitable position recently, and I just need my little sister to have time to take a look at it for herself.
"We printed a thousand copies first. Today, there is a limit of 50 copies, and each book is priced at 10 taels of silver. and tomorrow, fifty taels of silver for each book. Wait until the last ten, one hundred taels each. Shen Man'er replied, the number and price of this volume are set by herself, the first time she is not afraid of plagiarism, now they have limited energy, if they take too much time to promote, the effect is not good. If there is plagiarism, it will only let everyone know the book "Dream of Red Mansions".
Wait until the second volume comes out, and those who have read the first volume will definitely want to buy it urgently, and when the number of copies printed by themselves increases, and when the plagiarized ones come out, everyone has basically finished reading.
"Little sister, I didn't expect you to be so good at business. When will our restaurant start, I can't wait. Shen Yibin couldn't wait to immediately pull his sister to see the place he was optimistic about, seeing that his sister's first step was so successful, he also wanted to get on the right track as soon as possible.
"Third brother, I've already planned it, after this first sale, I won't care about it in the future, and then we'll concentrate on our restaurant. Shen Man'er was also very excited, she had found the first pot of gold in ancient times, and now she couldn't wait to start her entrepreneurial dream. She believes that everyone has an entrepreneurial dream in their hearts, but she is luckier than others to get such a good fortune to cross the sky.
