Chapter Thirty-Eight: Disaster from Heaven!
"Yu'er, send off!"
Nie Hongshu lazily took care of the two of them again, shouted and walked away.
"Hmph, Nie Hongshu, you are so bold......"
Qin Shou got up and shouted angrily.
Then, he pretended to be angry and comforted Shen Xiuyuan: "Shen Gongzi, this surnamed Nie is so rude that he doesn't even pay attention to his own official, just go back first." ”
In fact, my heart blossomed.
Because the development of things exceeded his expectations, it is no wonder that Shen Xiuyuan is willing to give up.
Sure enough, Shen Xiuyuan slammed the tea bowl, gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for this son, see how long you can be arrogant!" ”
Yu'er stood far away and didn't dare to step forward.
At this time, it is never a good time to go up and see off customers.
Fortunately, Qin Shou and the others didn't make any more trouble, and left angrily.
When the two of them walked away, Yu'er let out a long sigh of relief.
I was relieved in my heart, and at the same time I was worried about the old man and the young lady.
Let's say that Qin Shou and the others had just returned to another inner courtyard of the county government, and Zhou Yuanwai came to the door as if they were pinch on time.
He couldn't wait to know the outcome.
After all, Madame was disgraced, and he was equally disgraced.
I wanted to send someone to secretly clean up Gu Ming to vent his anger for his wife, but I was afraid that I would marry Nie Hongshu because of this.
In a word, as long as Nie Hongshu is brought down, he will be able to do whatever he wants.
After meeting, before he could ask, when he saw Shen Xiuyuan's expression, he knew that the conspiracy had succeeded.
So, his eyes casually glanced at Qin Shou, and they both smiled.
……
"Daddy, when you said that just now, I'm afraid those two will hold a grudge."
Nie Xiaoqian actually didn't go far, but hid in the room and eavesdropped, so she heard what her father said.
"So what? For the Father's sake, if he walks rightly and sits upright, why should he deign to slander? ”
Having said that, Nie Xiaoqian still sighed faintly, and a trace of sorrow welled up in her heart.
She didn't blame her father for what he said.
At that time, she was not the same, she left without giving any face?
It's an innate temperament.
It's just that she knows that Qin Shou is a person, and she can be described as unscrupulous.
Maybe it's going to be today......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "Daddy, do you think it's possible that the surnamed Qin is deliberately like this, wanting you to offend the salt envoy because of this?" ”
"Needless to say? The father had already guessed it. ”
Although Nie Hongshu is not very good at being an official, he is not a person who does not understand human feelings.
"That'...... Daddy must be careful next. ”
"Well, Daddy knows. You don't have to worry, Master Zeng has already contacted a lot of people, and he will meet with his father in the next two days.
Besides, being a father is not without connections......"
Indeed, as a lifter, there must be some classmates and friends in the officialdom.
The next day, Shen Xiuyuan left Guobei County and returned to Jinhua Mansion.
After learning the news, Nie Hongshu did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this, presumably, the other party went back to sue the black.
Then the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it.
Gu Ming didn't know about this, and he was still busy preparing for the opening of the study.
Everything is going well, and the repair and rectification of the yard has begun to take shape.
Of course, Gu Ming is most concerned about the printing of "The Legend of the West Chamber", and he has to go every day to check the progress.
This brings us to a new problem: punctuation.
After all, there is no unified standard at the moment, and some books even have no punctuation, and most of them are just empty sentences.
Therefore, Gu Ming made a special trip to explain the use of punctuation to the owner, and made a letterpress.
After the plate was made, it was carefully proofread and confirmed that it was correct, and the book was finally officially printed.
In the end, the printing was completed a day earlier than expected.
The moment he got the book that exuded the scent of ink, Gu Ming was extremely excited, and his hands trembled slightly.
Because, this book also involves a dream from his previous life.
At that time, he dreamed of publishing a book of his own.
As a result, the dream that was not fulfilled in the previous life came true after the time travel.
And how can you not get excited?
Comparatively speaking, this book looks far more refined than the average book.
In addition to the thick paper and white color, the cover is also quite attractive, not only with character pictures, but also with verses.
There are also more than a dozen illustrations on the pages, and the binding is also very detailed.
Moreover, Gu Ming also imitated the practice of books in his previous life, printing the book number and price on the back cover of the book.
The ISBN doesn't use letters, which is a bit too shocking.
The text plus the year and the number are used, and the price is: 800 words.
This is a decision after careful consideration and consultation with Nie Xiaoqian, He Yongliang, Zeng Dehao and others.
Under normal circumstances, most of the ordinary books of similar length are around 200 to 300 words.
Eight hundred wen, almost three or four times higher.
However, this is only the retail price, and the wholesale price to the bookseller is about 650 yuan.
Recalculation cost: The printing cost plus the remuneration paid to Dong Sheng, as well as some miscellaneous expenses, is about 300 taels of silver, and a single copy is converted into about 150 wen.
This does not include the publicity, transportation, labor, dividends, and Gu Ming's own remuneration for writing.
Of course, no matter how you calculate it, the final profit is just as good.
According to the agreed results, Gu Ming is the biggest beneficiary and will receive sixty percent of the profit.
Nie Xiaoqian is two, and Su Ling is one.
Although Zeng Dehao invested the most, he belonged to the latecomers, and Su Ling also realized that he was not greedy.
To put it bluntly, she is here to play tickets and make friends, and it will be enough to divide it into a meaning.
The remaining 10% of the profit is used as dividends for others or some miscellaneous expenses.
All in all, everyone is happy.
Seeing that everything is ready, the study will be officially opened in two days.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, a big thing suddenly happened......
Several officials caught a smuggler and found more than 1,000 catties of smuggled salt in his home.
That's a big crime.
After Qin Shou's personal interrogation, this person finally confessed, saying that he dared to sell smuggled salt only under the instructions of the county lord, and also said that most of the profits had to be handed over.
Qin Shou immediately ordered someone to summon Nie Hongshu, and the smuggler testified in court, insisting that he was just an errand runner.
Nie Hongshu almost vomited blood.
He didn't even know the name of the smuggler, so where did the instructions come from?
Unfortunately, this in itself is a trap.
He didn't know each other, but the other party knew the roots, and described the environment and furnishings of his home.
At this time, Qin Shou was energetic, and ordered someone to take Nie Hongshu into custody first, saying that he was going to report to the government and wait for the officials of the government to come and deal with it.
After learning the news, Nie Xiaoqian was struck by lightning and fainted on the spot.
Yu'er was so frightened that she cried and cried, stepped forward to shoot and pinch, and finally let the young lady wake up quietly.
"Yu'er, quick, follow me to the prison."
Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the South Prison, the jailer didn't let her see her.
said that although Lord Nie was in prison, he was locked in a single cell, and he was supplied with good food and drink.
In any case, Nie Hongshu is a county magistrate after all, and Qin Shou is not qualified to be convicted as a county order, so he can only be temporarily detained, which is equivalent to house arrest.
As for the result, we have to wait for the people above to say it......
