Chapter Forty-Nine: Is He Willing to Swim with You?
An hour later.
"What's Childe's reaction?"
"Childe said ......"
The subordinates were a little embarrassed, and their words were stumbling.
Xun Zhiyin said in a deep voice: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, whatever the son says, you can just relay the original words!" β
Only then did the subordinate say: "Childe said, Xun Laogou can't afford to be early, if it wasn't for his own merits, how could he help?" Usually all kinds of stumbling blocks, what kind of good people are putting this on today? β
Xun Zhiyin was not angry: "What about the token?" Did he take it? β
The subordinate nodded: "Take it!" β
"Hoo ......"
Xun Zhiyin breathed a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
However, looking at the appearance of the subordinate who wanted to speak and stopped, he asked again: "What else did Childe say?" β
The subordinate grinned: "Childe also said that Lord Xun is a little psychologically perverted, the more he is scolded by others, the more excited he is, isn't this purely sick?" β
Xun Zhiyin: "......"
He wanted to scold his mother, but he still endured it, thinking that this Ying Wuji was not stupid, although he spoke ill of himself on the surface, he still made the right choice in front of business.
The mood suddenly improved a lot, and even hummed a song.
Go back to your room and go to sleep!
β¦β¦
The night is getting deeper.
The faint but warm lights on the streets went out, and all but the most prosperous city center was still brightly lit, and all other places fell into a peaceful sleep.
Shangmo Bookstore.
Hua Chao wiped his hands and looked at the newly cleaned backyard, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
The maid on the side, Xiao Yanagi, said: "Miss, let me do this kind of thing alone in the future." β
Hua Chao shook his head with a smile: "No, can't I do this kind of thing?" β
Xiao Yanagi couldn't help but say, "But you used to cherish your hands!" β
"This ......"
Hua Chao looked at her hands, except for the cocoons that came out of playing the piano, the rest of the skin was still fair and delicate, and she had been a singer for so long, what she cherished most was her throat and hands.
These days, there will be wine and meat in the bookstore every day, and after everyone leaves, it is she and Xiaoyanagi who are cleaning. It may not be obvious if it is short, but after a while, it will definitely leave marks on the hands. But unexpectedly, she doesn't seem to be so repulsive.
She smiled: "No matter how much you cherish your hands, you can't help but clean your home!" β
Xiaoyanagi didn't speak, but whispered, "Okay......"
Just then, there was a knock on the back door.
It's so late, who could it be?
"Who?"
"Sister! It's me, Luo Ming. β
"Koyanagi go open the door."
With the "creaking" sound of the wooden door, Luo Ming walked in quickly.
Hua Chao looked at him and frowned slightly: "Why are you here again?" β
Luo Ming's nose moved, smelling the residual smell of wine and meat in the air, and he hesitated for a while and said, "Sister! Have you heard about Lan Lingsheng? β
Hua Chao's face suddenly became a little ugly: "Luo Ming, are you here to be a lobbyist for Cheng again?" β
"Sister......
Luo Ming sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Actually, after I went back last time, I didn't want to force you. But that morning, Ji Su suddenly came to the door......"
He recounted everything that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion that morning.
In the end, he sighed softly: "This matter is indeed something my father did wrong, but he is right in one sentence, there is a Lanlingsheng who came out today, who can guarantee that there will not be another Lanlingsheng in the future?"
Now that my father is the prime minister in the middle of the day, I can still take advantage of the shadow, but you also know the situation of the Li Kingdom, His Majesty wants to weaken Wei Han and strengthen the clan, and the Wei family wants to rely on his father to eliminate dissidents in the court, so how is the Han family's mind different from the Wei family?
What's more, Ying Wuji's identity is special, and now it's good that Qianli is close, but when he turns against him, how should he deal with himself?
And Qianguo's side is as flawless as the sky, Ying Wuji and thief's heart is not dead, how do you say let us feel at ease? β
Hua Chao snorted coldly: "So what? I chose the path myself! β
Luo Ming shook his head: "But your path can be easily cut off by anyone!" You know your father's personality, since he became the prime minister, he has cherished his feathers all the time, and he has never done anything that damages his reputation.
Although this time he only asked Lan Lingsheng to come forward, anyone who thought about it could think that he had secretly acted on this matter.
is the prime minister of a country, but he shot at a proton who lost his power. Do you think that Dad's determination is not big enough this time?
In order to make you realize the reality, it is impossible for him to let go of Shangmo Bookstore! β
Hua Chao's heart was cold, don't look over his head and say: "Shangmo Bookstore is not something he wants to defeat, we have a way to deal with it, so I won't bother you!" β
Although she didn't know what Ying Wuji could, she still had some confidence in Ying Wuji.
Luo Ming shook his head: "Sister! Don't be naΓ―ve, now the major bookstores have joined forces and gathered nearly 100 craftsmen to improve printing techniques. And each family has paid tens of thousands of dollars to throw it out, and when the time comes, how much Shangmo Bookstore will offer, they will only be low and not high!
Merchants elsewhere are profit-seeking, and Shangmo Bookstore doesn't have decent shops, and second, it can't get a book like "Tales of Mountains and Seas", so it can't rob them. β
Hua Chao's eyes were a little red: "So what?" The price and quality of our books are here, even if we can't get rich and expensive, it's okay to keep going, and I haven't thought about being rich and expensive. β
Truly!
She never wanted to be rich.
After getting along these days, she has fallen in love with today's life, even if she invests a few thousand taels and can't return to her roots in the end, she can at least support her family, and it is not unacceptable to live like this for the rest of her life.
Luo Ming shook his head: "Sister! I believe what you said, if you love money, you would have returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion a long time ago. But...... What do you want, Ying Wuji wants to either? β
Hua Chao was finally moved: "What ......"
Luo Ming sighed lightly: "Sister! This Shangmo Bookstore was established by you and Ying Wuji, and from the time he decided to win orders from various countries, you should understand that with this person's ambitions, he is definitely not willing to be a proton who has lost power.
You want to go a long time, but is he willing to go a long time with you?
Besides, this incident is also because of you, are you sure that he will not resent you in the future?
Or rather...... Can you bear to let Ying Wuji's hard work be ruined because of yourself? β
Hua Chao couldn't help but take two steps back, these things Luo Ming said were things she had never considered before.
If Ying Wuji really resents himself because of this incident, how should he deal with himself?
Luo Ming took a deep breath: "Although Dad advocates the theory of trouble, as long as it doesn't involve you, he will definitely not lower his value to target a proton." Dad, Dad, he asked me to call you home for dinner, he has always felt that he owes you something, if you go back, maybe the crisis of Shangmo Bookstore can be solved! β
Hua Chao: "......"
A moment later, Luo Ming was kicked out of the courtyard.
Hua Chao sat on the stone bench with his eyes distracted.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
Ying Wuji ate breakfast and put the token in his arms, only feeling in a good mood.
After changing into loose clothes, I came to the study.
Xun Laogou is still as smart as before, and the token is even smoother than expected. However, it is also a good foreshadowing for himself, and in the direct or indirect contact with Xun Zhiyin these days, he has been hinted at no less than a hundred times.
Now, all you have to do is decide which book to copy.
"Hedong and Hexi can certainly mobilize emotions, but it is really a bit nondescript in this era."
"It's still "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", with the same theme, directly beat "Tales of Mountains and Seas", and when the time comes, you can rub its popularity, and directly change its name to "Tales of the Mountains", with the pen name Lan Lingsheng, and then it will be released directly in advance, which will make his scalp numb!"
After deciding on the matter, he went to the desk and wrote a book.
With the blessing of the awakening talisman, the memory of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is extremely clear, just copy it.
But even so, it was late in the evening when the copy was finished.
Ying Wuji took the book in his arms, and rushed to Shangmo Bookstore with Bai Zhi.
After arriving, he was going to call Wu Dan, Zhai Yun and Hua Chao to have a meeting together, but Wu Dan and Zhai Yun both arrived, but they couldn't find Hua Chao for a long time.
"Where's Sister Hua Chao?"
"Boss!"
The ink man on the side ran over: "Just now I saw the flower girl walking through the back door, as if she got into the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" β
Ying Wuji: "??? β
