Chapter 133
After Pei Xiangyuan enthusiastically reported her name, Jiang Xuehe was actually a little embarrassed, she didn't have the habit of reporting her home to someone the first time she met, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Fortunately, Pei Xiangyuan didn't really plan to meet her once and become close friends with her.
"If my sister finds it inconvenient, you don't need to talk to me more." Pei Xiangyuan said with a smile, "I said a few more words when I saw that my sister felt kind and kind, but my mother also counted me a lot of self-acquaintance." Anyway, I believe that my sister and I are destined, and if we really meet again next time, it will not be too late for my sister to tell me my name. ”
Jiang Xuehe nodded and smiled: "It's nothing to just say my name, my surname is Jiang, my husband's surname is Gu, and now I live in the south of the city, and I rarely come to the north of the city on weekdays, and today is also a coincidence." ”
Pei Xiangyuan said with a smile: "Since my sister rarely comes to the north of the city, she bumped into me once she came, it seems that we are really destined." ”
Jiang Xuehe thought it was funny, although she didn't come to the north of the city often, but listening to Pei Xiangyuan's tone, she had been to Huayufang, since she hadn't met her before, it could be seen that she was not so fateful? Actually, it's just that this girl is familiar, right? But Jiang Xuehe also felt good when she looked at Pei Xiangyuan, especially the naturally ruddy little mouth, which was eight points similar to Jiang Yuxuan's mouth.
"If it's fate, I want to meet again next time. I still have something to do at home today, so I'll go first. Jiang Xuehe originally wanted to see more, but now she couldn't stand Pei Xiangyuan's enthusiasm, so she had to slip away first.
Pei Xiangyuan didn't doubt him, and said goodbye to Jiang Xuehe with a smile.
Only Gu Siyan and Yang Ermiao knew about Jiang Xuehe's writing of the script at home, so when Gu Sixian saw Jiang Xuehe come out with a script, she thought that she just wanted to read it herself, and she didn't think much about it. Gu Sixian also picked two books herself, one is about embroidery, the stitches introduced above are relatively common, and there is no value to learn, Gu Sixian mainly bought it for the patterns on the book. She also bought a book about flowers and plants, although Jiang Xuehe promised her that she could draw patterns for her when she had nothing to do, but Jiang Xuehe didn't have much free time, and Gu Sixian was embarrassed to trouble her from time to time.
After settling the bill, the sister-in-law went back to the south of the city, and went to the bookstore in the south of the city for a while.
Gu Sixian said strangely: "Why is my sister-in-law suddenly interested in the bookstore?" Don't you want to open a bookstore? ”
"That's right, Ah Xian also helped me with the staff officer?"
Gu Sixian actually just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect Jiang Xuehe to really admit it, she turned her head to look at Jiang Xuehe, and saw that the other party's eyes were shining, as if she was thinking about a better future. Gu Sixian actually felt that this matter was not very reliable, but looking at Jiang Xuehe's eyes, she couldn't say anything to disappoint her fun.
"It's good if my sister-in-law can really open it, but why did my sister-in-law suddenly think of opening a bookstore?" Gu Sixian said strangely.
"It's not a traditional bookstore, I only have a few ideas at the moment, and I have to wait for your brother to come back after the exam and work with me." Jiang Xuehe said with a smile, "I just went to the north of the city today, so I will go to Baiwenzhai by the way to have a look, and if you have time in a few days, you can also visit some other bookstores to learn scriptures." ”
Gu Sixian said: "I think the bookstores here are all the same, basically they simply sell books, and there are people playing the piano and incense from time to time in Baiwenzhai, which is different from other bookstores. ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "I think the same way, but it's better to take a look first, maybe I can come up with something different at that time." ”
Gu Sixian said with a smile: "I believe my sister-in-law will definitely be able to figure it out, but I heard that Mr. Xiyue has also read a lot of books, if my sister-in-law is free, why don't you ask her?" ”
"Am I getting dark under the lamp? With Sister Xiyue here, I didn't even think to ask her? Thanks to Ah Xian for reminding me, I'll make two of your favorite dishes when I go back tonight. Jiang Xuehe said.
Jiang Xuehe didn't pay much attention to the homework of a few little girls, and took two days off for five days, and these two days were just the time to rest. She originally wanted to talk to Jiang Xiyue, but now that she was reminded by Gu Sixian, she turned into talking about business, and she didn't know if Jiang Xiyue would think that she was stinking of copper? I don't think so, right? Jiang Xiyue didn't look like such a pedantic person.
Jiang Xiyue was very surprised when she heard Jiang Xuehe's thoughts: "Are you going to be a bookstore that doesn't make money?" ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "It's not unprofitable, right?" How about two pennies per hour? This is based on nothing to offer. Pen, ink, tea, and pastries will be prepared, and a price list will be arranged at that time. The price isn't too high, but it's certainly not unprofitable. ”
Jiang Xiyue said with a smile: "This method is also smart, so that the money that should be earned will not be less, and it can also provide convenience for those poor scholars, it is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone." ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "If it is a rented shop, I naturally don't dare to do this, for fear that the money I earn every year will not be able to pay the rent." But the money to buy the shop has already been spent, so even if this business loses money, it will not be so distressed. In addition to tea and pastries, I thought that I could also hold a literary meeting once a month, and I could give some bounties to those who took the first class, and it was also convenient for those poor but talented students. It's actually a bit selfish to do this, I know that the businessman has a bad reputation, but because of Goro's relationship, I need a good reputation. ”
Jiang Xiyue said with a smile: "Born as a human being, who can be without selfishness?" Selfishness is nothing, and when you are selfish and help others, it's still a righteous act. I have some private money on hand, and I want to throw it into it. If there is any profit in the future, you will give me a share of the money I invested. If there is no income, it should be me to do my best for the students of Songyue County. ”
Jiang Xuehe was embarrassed to accept it: "My sister is now alone with the child, how can I ......?"
"I eat and live in your house now, and I have the remuneration you give me every month, and those private rooms before were nothing, so let me do my part." Jiang Xiyue said and took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels, "Help me vote for these, I still have fifty taels of silver here, how can it be enough." ”
Jiang Xuehe didn't expect that Jiang Xiyue had a lot of private rooms, thinking that Jiang Xiyue really didn't need so much money at the moment, so she accepted it.
"If there is any income in the future, I will give my sister two layers every month. My sister told me again, let's see if there are any other good ideas? Jiang Xuehe said with a smile.
"I can't think of it for a while, anyway, your bookstore isn't in a hurry to open, let's think about it after Gu Wulang's exam?"
"That's right." Jiang Xuehe didn't want to disturb the preparation for the exam before, so Gu Siyan didn't tell him about it right away.
While speaking, Jiang Xiyue caught a glimpse of the script in Jiang Xuehe's hand, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you still like to read scripts?" What kind of story is that? ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "I'm ashamed, this is a script I wrote before to promote flower tea. Unfortunately, I don't have any ink in my stomach, and now I look back and feel embarrassed. ”
"I didn't expect Sister He to be able to write a script, so I have to take a look." Jiang Xiyue was very surprised, she really wondered what Jiang Xuehe wouldn't know now.
According to Jiang Xuehe's own words, she doesn't know how to embroider, but as an ordinary woman, Jiang Xuehe's embroidery skills are actually enough. As for those who don't know medical skills or martial arts, ordinary people can't. Just look at the Jiang Xiyue she will know now, she thinks it is already very remarkable, no wonder others say that it is useless to be a scholar, Jiang Xiyue has always boasted that she reads well, but after she left, she was really confused for a long time, and she didn't know where she should go in the future. If she knew so many things like Jiang Xuehe, she wouldn't have been so confused at that time, right?
"It's not well written, if it was written by Sister Xiyue, it would be better." Speaking of this, Jiang Xuehe's eyes lit up, "That's right, it's better for Sister Xiyue to write a book when she is free, just this book in my hand, and the net profit at the beginning was more than eight hundred taels!" With Sister Xiyue's talent, I will definitely be able to write better. ”
Jiang Xiyue said with a smile: "I have written poems and songs in the past, but I have never written such a story, do you have confidence in me?" ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "I naturally believe in my sister's ability. By the way, I met a little girl today, and she said that she liked my story because there are too many crazy men and women in the script nowadays, but the girl I wrote about supported her with her own skills, which made her feel very interesting. But because of this, some boudoir women like this book, but most men don't like it when they see it. ”
Jiang Xiyue was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Then I have to take a good look." ”
Jiang Xuehe said again: "I was thinking that the boudoir women who can buy books to read should be literate and have learned some things, so they will have such an idea." If my sister has time, she can write more books on this subject and guide the thoughts of those girls, which should also be a very interesting thing. ”
Jiang Xiyue smiled: "No, your statement coincides with my original idea of wanting to run a girls' school." However, there are still many prerequisites for this women's school, and I can't do any of them now, so I'm naturally constrained. So I'm thinking I'll take my time to achieve those prerequisites. ”
Jiang Xuehe was curious: "What are the prerequisites?" ”
"One, I have to be rich." Jiang Xiyue said with a smile, "Although money is not everything, it is really difficult to move an inch without money." I only have less than three hundred taels of silver on hand, so when I say that I want to run a girls' school, I only dare to find people in the village, but how many people in the village will let girls go to school? If I have enough money to support, then I will choose to run a women's school in the county, there are many businessmen in the county, and there are also many foreign daughters, and it is possible for such a family to send their daughters to women's schools. So I've been thinking about it for the past two days, in addition to teaching a few younger sisters, whether I want to learn the Yijing from you. ”
Jiang Xuehe was a little surprised, she knew that Jiang Xiyue was not a pedantic person, but she didn't expect Jiang Xiyue to really have the heart to do business?
