Chapter 260: The Guest (2)
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, and I look at you as if you're a lot thinner than before." It was Yan Ruifan who opened his mouth to break the silence.
Liu Man'er smiled slightly and said, "There are more things to do with children all day long, and it is normal to lose a little weight." ”
"You've worked so hard." Yan Ruifan changed the topic and said: "Now I really admire you, one person not only supports the whole family, but also does the business so well, in the past, he was only famous in the county, but now he is almost a household name." ”
"What's the matter, it's just a little better development in this county." Liu Man'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Besides, it's not my credit, it's all thanks to my friends." ”
"Modest." Yan Ruifan stood up, flicked his robe, and said, "I also came here this time, I want to print a batch of books, but someone else recommended your printing workshop to me, do you say it's fate?" ”
"What books are you going to print?" Liu Man'er was not surprised when she heard him say this, but said: "Although it is said that it is a business, if that person is you, I can give you a twenty-percent discount." ”
"Thank you so much." Young Master Yan smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "I plan to print a batch of Spring Palace ......"
Before he could finish his words, Liu Man'er slapped her soft hand and stopped in mid-air, and she was so surprised that she almost squirted out the tea in her mouth.
"Someone." Liu Man'er shouted, and soon a servant woman came over, Liu Man'er handed her the rourou in her hand, and said, "Take the little lady to rest." ”
"Yes." The servant bowed and left, and Liu Man'er coughed and said to Young Master Yan: "This topic is not suitable for children, so I sent my daughter away first." ”
She really didn't expect that someone with such a serious appearance would print such a thing, which was simply too unexpected for her, and it felt like the fairy in her heart who was not stained with dust suddenly became a prostitute.
Seeing Liu Man'er's big reaction, Yan Ruifan sneered lightly, "What's this?" I thought you would be different, but I didn't expect it to be the same. ”
"You're right, I'm an ordinary person." Liu Man'er waved her hand to show her admit, and she said: "If someone else said that this thing would be printed, I would definitely not have any big reaction, but if it was you, I really couldn't believe it." ”
"What's this, I'm a businessman, why don't I do business if I have a business?" Yan Ruifan glanced at Liu Man'er, but he was calm.
Well, she is a businessman, and maybe she is the one who thinks dirty from beginning to end. Liu Man'er forced herself to talk about this as an ordinary business, but, in her previous life, it was illegal to print and disseminate such obscene books, and if you think about it, it is not illegal, this is the only X education in ancient times, and printing these by yourself is a matter for the benefit of the whole country.
The question is, if she really did this business, would the people in her printing shop have needle eyes one by one? What do those people think of themselves? That's it, anyway, in the eyes of some people, she has already become such a degrading woman, so why care about other people's opinions.
"Printing this kind of thing is to be engraved, do you bring your own drawings, or do you bring your own plates?" Liu Man'er swallowed and forced herself to return to normal.
"I've drawn dozens of pictures, I heard that Shopkeeper Ye is a master of writing drawing books, why don't you give me some more words?" Yan Ruifan said again.
If someone else said this, Liu Man'er would definitely fan it with a big mouth, what is this saying, is he this kind of person? But Yan Ruifan looked serious, he really didn't think there was anything about it, what he thought was really just ordinary business.
"I won't." Liu Man'er shook her head, calmly rejected him, and said, "If there is no bottom plate, I don't have a powerful engraving master here, and I can't print this." ”
"Is that so?" Yan Ruifan stared at her seriously.
"That's right." Liu Man'er nodded, she was right, the masters she hired were busy carving movable type every day, where did they have time to carve these, besides, if they didn't carve for a long time, their craftsmanship must be rusty.
"It seems that Man'er doesn't want to do business with me anymore." Yan Ruifan gently picked up the teacup, and that unfathomable indifferent expression appeared again.
"Young Master Yan should not call me by my name in the future, it's inappropriate." Liu Man'er said calmly, now she only has Ye Yuan in her heart, and refuses to have an affair with anyone.
"Okay, I was joking with you just now, you can print me some books." Young Master Yan put down the teacup and said, "As for the ones you wrote, print 10,000 copies of each for me." ”
"That's a lot, I'm afraid you won't be able to pull away without dozens of cars." Liu Man'er sneered, although she was disgusted that his tone suddenly became cold, but after all, she still regarded him as a friend in her heart, and she had to remind him:
"This book has already been sold by many people, and if you buy so much, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell it for a while, and besides, if you print so much at once, even if I give you the best price, I am afraid you will have to pay a lot of money."
"Thank you Shopkeeper Ye for reminding me, but you don't have to worry about this, you still have to think about the matter of the god of war Ye Yuan, I heard that he looks very similar to your husband." Yan Ruifan threw down such a sentence ambiguously.
Liu Man'er's heart chuckled suddenly, but she said quietly: "There are too many people in the world who look alike, but Young Master Yan, you say this, I have to go and see him when I have time to see how similar he looks to my husband." ”
"I advise you not to go, he's in trouble right now." Young Master Yan sneered and said, "To tell you the truth, I heard that he is suspected of rebelling with that King of Dingbei, and now he is the target of the imperial court's key supervision, if you go over, you may be affected by him." ”
"In that case, Young Master Yan, why do you mention it in front of my eyes, it makes me feel uneasy in vain." Liu Man'er was also indifferent, pretending to know nothing and not care.
"I'm kind enough to tell you, since you don't appreciate it, then it's fine." Yan Ruifan drank tea leisurely again.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, and Liu Man'er was also a little puzzled, why did she suddenly get involved with him, wasn't she talking about business? Could it be that he refused to print this spring palace map for him, and he was angry? So to scare yourself with these?
However, she still knows what Young Master Yan is like, although she doesn't know much about him, but Liu Man'er just has a kind of self-confidence, she believes that Yan Ruifan will not say this, and at the same time, she is also vigilant, she really didn't expect that the power of this Yan Ruifan family would reach such a point, and even know this kind of thing.
Neither of the two paid attention to anyone, just sat there drinking their own tea, Liu Man'er felt sorry for his good tea, but he was cup after cup, until the whole aunt came to call the two to eat, he stopped, got up and walked to the hall.
Seeing the two of them coming, Fang was very eager, stretched out his hand to fill the two with soup, and beckoned the two to sit down with a smile.
Now that Yan Ruifan is a guest, the Fang family doesn't pay attention to so many rules, and does not open another table, Ye He and Cao'er are also on the table for Yan Ruifan to eat together, Liu Man'er is sitting on his left hand, and Ye Tianchen is sitting next to her.
After being taught for such a period of time, Ye Tianchen now looks a lot stronger, and there are more rules, Liu Man'er asked him to call Yan Ruifan Uncle Yan, and he called it obediently, Ye He and Cao'er called Yan Ruifan the eldest brother.
Maybe handsome people are born with advantages, this meal, not only Fang's incomparable enthusiasm for him, even Ye He was extremely attentive to him, the eyes of the two collided in the air from time to time, Ye He blushed, which made Liu Man'er secretly a little misguided.
Although Ye He is still young, but in a few months she will be thirteen years old, she is a big girl, at this time, people are mature early, put these aside, thirteen or fourteen years old, this is the cardamom years, when she is just ignorant of love, under the rippling spring heart, this Yan Ruifan looks so good-looking, Liu Man'er is really afraid that Ye He will have any illusions about him.
But fortunately, this meal ended quickly, Ye He and the others were girls who had not left the cabinet after all, and it was not good to stay for a long time, after a while, they got up and left, Fang also went to busy his own affairs, and Liu Man'er asked people to invite Han Shixin to come back, so as to discuss the unfinished business in the morning with Yan Ruifan.
Now that the printing shop is in charge of everything in the new Korean style, it is only fitting for him to come over.
Before Han Shixin came, Liu Man'er talked to him about some other things, such as Wu Steward, he used to be a servant of the Yan family, but now he has become the shopkeeper of the restaurant, but Yan Ruifan has no interest in these, and Liu Man'er didn't say much.
The power of the Yan family is unfathomable, and compared to them, Steward Wu is just a small trader, and he really has no interest in knowing.
But after all, it is a short mouth, and the atmosphere between the two is not as bad as in the morning, and they talked about some topics that are not light or heavy, and after a while, Han Shixin came back, Liu Man'er introduced Yan Ruifan to Han Shixin, and then, she quietly played the role of an auditor and listened to the two talk about business.
Although Yan Ruifan doesn't talk much, he is indeed a good hand at doing business, he either doesn't speak, and when he speaks, he hits the nail on the head, almost letting Han Shixin confide in the secret of his printing shop, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Han Shixin kept his mouth.
But Rao is like this, when he faces Yan Ruifan again, he no longer dares to treat him as a little white face, but has to work hard to deal with Yan Ruifan's sudden question.
After answering a few questions, he couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe the sweat on his forehead, and glanced at Liu Man'er, and said in his heart, where did the owner pull back the demon, how could he be so powerful.
