Chapter 19 Give the future father-in-law a face
In fact, Nie Xiaoqian is not interested in business at all.
Even, in the bones is repulsive.
This was also created by the general environment at that time, everything was inferior, only reading was high.
In the eyes of many readers, businessmen are profit-seeking, covered with copper stench, and their status is not as good as that of an authentic peasant.
The imperial court has always been the same, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.
However, Gu Ming runs a study, and he is a showman, and he writes poems or something, which can be called a Confucian businessman.
Coupled with the psychology of loving the house and Wu, Nie Xiaoqian will naturally support it vigorously.
"Childe, it's a little interesting to hear you say that. Have you ever calculated how much money you will have to invest in the early stage? ”
This is also the purpose of Gu Ming's here.
used to sell novels, calligraphy and paintings, plus the silver given by Nie Xiaoqian, a total of about nine taels.
Today the two ladies gave one or two each.
After the expenses of buying piano, chess, drinking, eating chicken, etc., there are only about six taels left.
With such a small amount of money, not to mention the purchase of goods, it is estimated that even the rent is not enough.
Therefore, I thought of Ranie Xiaoqian going into the water...... Partnership.
The important thing is that once you become a partner, you can see each other often, sharpen your ears and temples, and develop a relationship over time.
As a result, he never expected that he improvised a "beauty song", which made a qualitative leap in the relationship between the two.
An unattainable dream in his previous life has finally become a reality.
"Xiaoqian, I have a general plan for the business plan of the study.
In terms of books, it is mainly sold on consignment, and it can also be exchanged for books.
Including calligraphy and paintings, it can be sold on consignment.
Because some scholars have a thin face and lack money, they are reluctant to pull down their faces to sell calligraphy and paintings.
So, we provide them with such a convenient platform.
At the same time, I also have a place to sell my own books, calligraphy and paintings.
In this way, the upfront investment will not be very large, and there will not be too much backlog......"
After gushing and explaining, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were full of brilliance.
When it comes to consignment, it's not a novel concept, but there are really few stores that specialize in consignment.
At least not in Guobei County.
The important thing is that Nie Xiaoqian also thinks deeply about some of the content explained by Gu Ming.
For example, she has a lot of idle books in her hands.
If there was such a shop, she would definitely go and exchange some books and come back.
Either way, it's better than buying a new book.
"So, according to your current thinking, how much silver do you need to invest?"
Nie Xiaoqian repeated her previous question.
Gu Ming pondered for a while and said, "At present, it is only a preliminary plan, and it is not clear how much the rent will need."
However, I estimate that if you save some money in the early stage, it may cost a hundred taels of silver. ”
"One hundred taels...... Nie Xiaoqian nodded: "I have also accumulated some over the years, or I will get it for you now." ”
In fact, the amount of silver she has accumulated is not very much, only more than two hundred taels.
At this moment, almost half of it was taken.
She would not have been allowed to do anything else, because the money was her dowry.
But, who made her have a heart that is already tied to this man?
Don't say a hundred taels, even if you take out all the money you have accumulated, you are willing.
"No, no, Xiaoqian, don't rush first, wait until you find a store."
"Oh......"
Then, there was another silence.
No one mentioned the past.
Nie Xiaoqian was shy and embarrassed to speak.
Gu Ming was not pretending to be reserved, but wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity.
If you really want to bring it up now, I'm afraid that the first one who doesn't agree is Nie Hongshu.
is also a dignified court official, how can he agree to let his daughter follow a man who lives in a straw hut, and is also someone else's straw hut?
Well, he is also the future father-in-law, give him a face, and he will not have a conflict first.
"By the way, Xiaoqian, I opened it again recently...... Ahem, wrote a new book. ”
"Oh?"
Nie Xiaoqian's eyes lit up.
"This time, it won't be another tragic ending, right?"
Obviously, she is also a little dissatisfied with the ending of "Du Shi Niang".
It's just that he has more knowledge than Mrs. Su and others, and he won't ask Gu Ming to revise the ending or anything.
"No, no, no, this time a reunion is guaranteed."
"Great, can you tell me about it first?"
"Hmm...... Speaking, there was a scholar named Zhang Junrui, who was disheartened because he had failed to be on the list many times, so he simply floated his sword and swam in all directions......"
"On this day, Zhang Sheng came to a temple, but he happened to meet Cui Yingying, the daughter of the current dynasty......"
As soon as she heard this, Nie Xiaoqian fell into a trance.
After all, she is also the daughter of an official family, and Gu Ming's identity and experience are also similar to Zhang Sheng, so she quickly immersed herself in this story.
When he was fascinated by listening, Gu Ming stopped and said with a smile: "I'll write here for the time being, it may take a few days to finish writing." At that time, it will be printed as a book and sold as a study when it opens. ”
"Great, when it's printed, you must give me a sneak peek."
"That's a must, after all, you are also the master of the study......"
Gu Ming deliberately used the word master of the study obscurely, partner, and he can be regarded as the master, right?
In fact, the implication is: the boss lady!
Nie Xiaoqian didn't think deeply, maybe she was still reading the story just now.
After chatting for a while, Gu Ming looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but get up and said, "Okay, Xiaoqian, I'll leave first." ”
If you don't leave, how embarrassing will it be for Lord Nie to come back and ask about the previous incident?
"Well, then you go to the store as soon as possible."
Nie Xiaoqian seemed to have guessed Gu Ming's thoughts, so she didn't keep it.
"Good!"
Fortunately, he slipped away quickly, and not long after leaving, Nie Hongshu hurriedly walked back.
"Huh? The kid is gone? ”
Hearing that the tone was wrong, Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly stepped forward and responded, "Well, Gu Gongzi has been gone for a long time. ”
"What did he come to you for?"
"Also...... Nothing, say it's a new book. ”
Nie Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything about opening the study.
"New books? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? Nie Hongshu had a calm face: "What happened to the two of you before?" ”
"Huh? Not...... Not much? ”
"Are you blind when you're a daddy? You two......
That's it, you're not young anymore, most of the daughters of ordinary people are married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and you are nineteen, so you should know what you're doing. ”
At this point, Nie Xiaoqian simply gritted her teeth: "Daddy, daughter...... The daughter likes Gu Gongzi. ”
Nie Hongshu couldn't help but cover his forehead.
"Luring the wolf into the room, really luring the wolf into the room......"
Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian was speechless: "Daddy, how can you describe Gu Gongzi like this, he ...... He's a righteous man. ”
"How long have you known him? As the saying goes, it's hard to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, do you know him? ”
"Even if my daughter doesn't understand it, it can be seen from his poems and novels that he is a talented person."
On weekdays, Nie Xiaoqian almost never collides with her father.
But in this matter, she is iron-hearted and refuses to give an inch.
