After the matter of the school was solved, Mu Qing was in a good mood, and took Bai Lichen to the Wise Bookstore to take a look and determine the address of the school.

"Niangniang, the school is expensive, you have to build it yourself, and you have to invite Mr., when the time comes, it will cost a lot of money inside and outside here!"

Lao Chen followed Mu Qing's side, muttering with a bitter face.

Mu Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, I know, don't worry, we will have money soon." ”

Lao Chen sighed, their master was talking in a dream.

After the bookstore opened, not only did their bookstore business not do well, but the business of all the bookstores in Beijing was not very good.

Yes, even if it is, the key is ......

"Niangniang, many bookstores have been looking at us unpleasantly recently." Lao Chen reminded Mu Qing vaguely.

"Yes." It's not normal to look at them to the eye.

Lao Chen was so blocked by her two words that he couldn't say anything behind, so he could only look at Bai Lichen.

Bai Lichen smiled and didn't speak, Lao Chen simply didn't say anything, forget it, anyway, they still have some inventory, let's talk about it in two days.

"When the time comes, plant a peach blossom here!" Mu Qingyi waved his hand and pointed to a large piece of land.

Lao Chen had a headache when he looked at it: "Niangniang, save some flowers." ”

Although there is a lot of dowry left by Wan Lianyu, she can't withstand Mu Qing's defeat, she can't make ends meet!

"Don't worry!" Mu Qing knew what Lao Chen was worried about, and comforted him with a smile,

"I'm measured, and we're going to make money right away, a lot of money!"

Lao Chen: "......" Why are you still dreaming in broad daylight?

As soon as Mu Qing and Bai Lichen left, Lao Chen began to sigh, and Lu An was happy when he saw it:

"Uncle Chen, look at you like this, your hair is gray, do you want to open something!"

"I want to!" Lao Chen put the ledger on the table and rubbed his temples,

"But I have a headache when I see this money flowing out, it took a lot of money to build this bookstore, do you know how expensive this land is?

Now Niangniang still wants to build a school, oops, I'm so worried! ”

"What school?" The student reading next to him came up and asked curiously.

Lao Chen closed his eyes and didn't speak, Lu An knew about this, so he replied:

"Niangniang saw that those who wanted to read but couldn't read were pitiful, so she wanted to build a school behind the bookstore and teach them to read for free."

"Really? Shopkeeper Lu, don't lie to us! ”

"Did I hear me right, free?"

"It's so nice to be a mother, this ...... Is it really free? ”

Everyone was talking, Lao Chen couldn't help but glared at Lu An, Lu An was a little weak-hearted, after all, there was no charter for this matter.

Now it's just Mu Qing's idea, he shouldn't say it at this time......

Mu Qing, who was in the car, didn't know what they were doing, and at this time she was planning the future school with Bai Lichen.

"The academy can't have unlimited enrollment, and there must be a limit on the number of places at that time, otherwise it won't be good if something happens at that time."

Mu Qing tilted his head and thought for a moment, and asked Bai Lichen, "How do you say it's good to restrict?" ”

"This ......" Bai Lichen couldn't say for a while, after all, there should be a lot of people who want to know how to read, and it seems that it is not good to restrict anyone.

Wasn't the original purpose of this school so that everyone who wanted to read could read and write?

Mu Qing also thought of this, so he couldn't help but have a headache.

"I'd love to open two more." Mu Qing muttered casually.

Bai Lichen glanced at Mu Qing complicatedly: "Don't say this in front of Uncle Chen." ”

Lao Chen wanted to hear Mu Qing's words, and he might faint on the spot.

As an old man left by Wan Lianyu's side, Mu Qing respects him very much, and at the same time, he has to admit that Lao Chen's ability is very good.

He has never made a mistake in managing so many shops and Zhuangzi, even if he has a penny, it can be calculated clearly.

It is...... Picking the door a little, but it's not a bad thing, Mu Qing thinks she is quite buttoned herself.

"Qing'er, are you sure you can make your paper?" Bai Lichen asked Mu Qing carefully.

Mu Qing nodded: "It should be possible." ”

She believed in herself, she had done it herself in her previous life, although only once, but that was also experience.

"It's better to be able to, otherwise......" Bai Lichen thought of what had happened recently, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Mu Qing chuckled in his heart: "It can't be that something happened, right?" ”

It shouldn't be a big deal lately, right?

"You have offended a lot of people by opening a bookstore class, and Uncle Chen should have wanted to tell you today, but he didn't say it in the end."

Bai Lichen thought of Lao Chen's aggrieved appearance, and a smile appeared on his face, "Many bookstores and bookstores boycott you, and the paper will not be sold to your bookstore." ”

At present, the most powerful papermaking is the Wen family, and the head of the Wen family is called Wen Lin, this Wen Lin is the owner of No. 1 Bookstore, and Yu Chenglin has a good relationship.

Sixty percent of the rice paper on the market is from his family, a small part is from other families, and there is the Mo family in Cizhou, which is negligible.

The paper they made was the best Shenhe paper at the moment, and this paper generally did not enter the market and could not be bought, because it was for the exclusive use of the royal family.

The rice paper that Huo Huo used to have in Muqing was Shenhe paper, and it was hard for ordinary people to find it.

The paper that Mu Qing's current book shop is from the Wen family, after all, this paper is the best paper outside of the Mo family's Shenhe paper.

"They can't afford to play!" Mu Qing couldn't help but despise it.

Bai Lichen: "......"

"Just boycott and don't give me paper?" Mu Qing asked curiously.

"No other guess can resist you." Bai Lichen saw that she was puzzled, so he explained to her,

"You don't know at all, this ink, paper, inkstone, except for paper, everything else has a late home,

You don't have to worry, they have a good relationship with the Wan family, and there is no big conflict of interest, the Wen family is naturally because of the No. 1 Bookstore and Yu Chenglin under their names. ”

Mu Qing really didn't know, she didn't know about this, but she wasn't in a hurry when she heard Bai Lichen say it.

"I'll be happy when my paper is made." Mu Qing didn't take it to heart, it was nothing.

Seeing that she was so confident, Bai Lichen couldn't bear to hit her, so he simply stopped talking and went back to the house with her.

Mu Qing is going to wait for the paper to be sold, so he is not in a hurry.

During this time, the situation of the Queen Mother took a turn for the worse, and Mu Qing and Bai Lichen were ready to enter the palace to live and serve the sick.

Hearing that they entered the palace to live for a while, the Jade Princess was the happiest, seeing that the day of surrender was getting closer and closer, the Jade Princess was always worried about this and that, and at the same time worried about the Queen Mother's body.

Mu Qing said a few words to the Queen Mother, then left time for Bailichen and went out with Princess Jade.

"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" Mu Qing thought of the emaciated appearance of the Queen Mother, and felt sad in his heart.

The Jade Princess felt uncomfortable at the mention of this:

"It's all hanging by too many medicines, my cousin's marriage is close, no matter how much I should let the imperial grandmother watch us get married."

This is also an unwritten rule, if the elders are really not good, the right age in the family is naturally to get married as soon as possible.

Lest you keep filial piety for another three years, the royal family is also like this, and the imperial doctor is also very familiar with these.

Mu Qing opened his mouth to ask how the emperor and the crown prince were doing, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

She was afraid that Princess Jade would say something unpleasant at that time, and the two of them would forget it, in case the third person heard it, it would be bad.

The two of them waited at the door for a while, and Bailichen came out, and the Queen Mother was short of spirits, so naturally she couldn't say much.

The Jade Princess and Bai Lichen said a few words and left with interest, Mu Qing saw that he was in a bad mood, so he accompanied him beside him.

"Imperial grandmother......" Bai Lichen couldn't continue, his voice was a little choked.

Mu Qing sighed and hugged him and comforted him.

"Isn't this the king of Zhongzhou?" The prince's voice sounded, successfully breaking their warmth.

Mu Qing frowned when he saw the prince, his eyes were blue and black, his steps were vain, and he had gained a lot of weight.

Thinking of the appearance of the prince when he first saw him, he was high-spirited and calculating, which is really ...... It became too much.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The two of them saluted.

"Get up." The prince didn't embarrass them, and said meaningfully,

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I came to visit the imperial grandmother?"

"Yes." Bai Lichen replied coldly.

The prince was not angry with his attitude: "Speaking of which, you will go to Zhongzhou in the future, and I, as an elder brother, also feel sorry for you, so if you need anything, just tell me." ”

Mu Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw his villain's triumphant appearance, and preemptively said to Bailichen:

"The prince's words are serious, we don't need anything, we just lack money, we know that Your Royal Highness the Prince, your brother, is the best."

Prince: "......"

I'll be polite, are you serious?

Bai Lichen held back a smile and lowered his head, he, the princess, is really powerful.

The prince smiled awkwardly, and I didn't regret it at this time: "That's it, then the palace will send you some at that time." ”

Forget it, anyway, he has to go to that poor place in Zhongzhou, so he should be sent to call Huazibei!

Thinking about it this way, the prince's mood is much better.

"Thank you, Prince!" Mu Qing happily thanked him, who can get along with money?

The prince looked at Bai Lichen and raised his eyebrows slightly: "King Zhongzhou, let's go have two drinks, our brother hasn't drunk for a long time, just call the ninth brother, let's go together!" ”

Bai Lichen did not refuse, but looked at Mu Qing, Mu Qing was happy, and he wouldn't mind:

"Go ahead, I'll go back and rest."

Just write her school plan again, and by the way, see if you can get some opinions from the Ministry of Engineering.

"Then I'll go, you be careful on the road." Bai Lichen said two words.

The prince frowned when he looked at it from the side, these two people seemed to have a really good relationship.

Seeing the prince and Bai Lichen leave, Mu Qing walked back, but met an acquaintance halfway.

"King of Anling!" Mu Qing hurriedly greeted him.

She liked this little kid at the beginning, and he was also the only son left by the crown princess.

The king of Anling County didn't expect to meet him, so he saluted and called the imperial aunt obediently.

"Why are you here?" Mu Qing looked at the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Are you going to class?" ”

King Anling glanced at her and lowered his head: "I'm out of school." ”

Mu Qing: "......"

It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, so you get out of school so early?

"Where is the imperial aunt going?" King Anling asked.
