At the beginning, Qingzhu wanted to investigate because he didn't want his master to live alone. But after the investigation, Qingzhu couldn't just stop it if he wanted to.
Because Li Wenchong drew a portrait of the girl based on his own memory and showed it to those who had seen Mrs. Yao. People said it was Mrs. Yao. What else could he do?
If they were just similar, he would have checked all the people from the Gu family in Beijing.
Even if they are concubine sisters, they may not look like Mrs. Yao. So how much coincidence does it take for the girl to have the same face as Mrs. Yao?
If Li Wenchong had not given up on seeing Mrs. Yao in person, Li Wenchong would not be able to sleep peacefully now - because as soon as he fell asleep, he would remember that he had slept with an old woman who could be his mother.
Ah ah ah ah ah……
He must be crazy!
He is actually the same age as that woman's eldest son?!
How hard does it take for him to sleep with such an old woman?!
…
"It doesn't have to be the Gu family or the Yao family. It could be an unrelated woman. They just happen to look alike." Qingzhu didn't know whether he should hope that the woman died or that the woman was still alive.
.
If he is dead, then Mrs. Yao is not the same; if he is still alive, this Mrs. Yao...
After checking again and again, no matter which situation we look at, Mrs. Yao is the most suitable person, except for her age.
Although Mrs. Yao is a little older, judging from everyone's feedback, Mrs. Yao looks extremely young and is in her prime. It is also because of this that the Baixiang Pavilion in the capital has a very good business, because there are many
Everyone hopes to be like Mrs. Yao, who can still have youthful beauty even at an old age.
"Ha!" Li Wenchong sneered, "Do you believe this?"
Qingzhu: "..."
I just don’t know how Gu Qingling would react if she knew that she had finally found a peaceful place in Jinling, but was being targeted by an old debt.
Probably because I want to cry.
After all, she felt that her current status as an "old lady" was quite good. She had food, clothing, and people to take care of her, and she didn't want any changes at all.
Anyone who can get wind and rain on their own territory and live comfortably does not want to go to other people's territory and be inferior to others, and has to "manage" other people's families, and then...
Being a mother-in-law is much more enjoyable than being a daughter-in-law.
The more valuable your status is, the more things you need to pay attention to. With Gu Qingling's temperament, it's surprising that she is happy with it.
This day, the sky is clear and sunny.
Seeing the bright sunshine outside, Gu Qingling asked a servant to push a stroller over, put Yao Jiuye on the stroller, and took him to the yard to bask in the sun.
Yao Jiuye held a rattle in one hand and a finger biscuit in the other. Yiyi was barking, not knowing what he was saying.
While Gu Qingling was teasing, a servant came to report that Mo Gui, who was with Mr. Yao, was here.
Mo Gui, the young man, ran so hard that there was a slight sweat on his forehead. As soon as he saw Gu Qingling, he paid his respects and said: "I will pay my respects to the old lady."
"Why are you here, but Erlang has something to do?" Gu Qingling asked Mo Gui while coaxing Yao Jiuye.
The young man, Mo Gui, said respectfully: "There is a big business coming to the bookstore. The second master can't take charge, so I asked the servant to come over and invite the old lady to come over."
"Big business?"
The young man Mo Gui briefly explained the situation.
When Gu Qingling heard that this business was indeed quite big, with the production capacity of Yao's Bookstore, it would be possible to keep up with movable type printing, but it would be a bit difficult to use traditional printing methods.
I just don’t know, does that person really want to have so many books, or is someone eyeing the Yao family and wanting to investigate the Yao family’s bookstore?
Gu Qingling recalled a little bit. In the past, she printed books in her own bookstore and bought books from other bookstores. Although the bookstore now has a lot of books on the public display, it should not attract others' attention.
What's more, her bookstore has just opened, and the people who come to the bookstore are basically scholars from nearby, and they are all selling at a loss. It doesn't look like it will alert her peers, right?
After thinking about it, Gu Qingling felt that she really needed to go there in person.
He called the eldest maid Xia Tian to come over and told her a few words, asking her to play with Yao Jiuye for a while and then take him back to the house when he felt sleepy.
Then he took the eldest maid Chun Chun and others and left the yard with the young man Mo Gui.
Baishan Academy has started school. Except for those who have passed the county examination and are preparing for the government examination at home, most of the students come to Hui Yao's Bookstore to take a look when they have no classes.
Gu Qingling had asked people to collect test papers for county and government examinations from various places before. After the Jinling County examination, there was no need for her to give instructions at all. The person in charge of the bookstore, Mo Shu, had already taken the initiative to report to Yao Erye and Yao Sanye (because
Uncle Yao is preparing for the government examination, so please don’t disturb me). He collected all the test questions and papers with good answers from the Jinling County Examination, compiled them into volumes, and made them into special papers.
No, not long after the county examination ended, the news spread that Yao's Bookstore had printed special papers for the Jinling County examination, and many qualified scholars bought a copy.
Even if I didn't have the conditions, I still managed to copy a copy at Yao's Bookstore.
Yao's Bookstore has become very famous thanks to the county examination, and its business has been much better recently.
Those readers who came to the bookstore found that Yao's Bookstore not only had a wide variety of books, but also had a variety of exam books, such as Jinling County Examination Papers, Jinling County Examination Papers, and Five Year Simulation County Examination Papers.
…
Although it was published only after the county examination, it still attracted many scholars.
There is no way, some of them have not passed the exam this year, and some are preparing to take the exam next year. No one has ever thought about getting any special papers or the like, there are only the Four Books, Five Classics, and various textbooks. This time, someone suddenly did it.
I won't be happy about the exam papers.
"Why is it published now?" Someone else said to the waiter at Yao's Bookstore, "You should publish it earlier, maybe I will pass the county exam this year."
The waiter looked innocent: "We have no experience, this is not our first year."
"What about the prefectural examination? Do you have any prefectural examination?" Someone from the county who had taken the examination hurriedly asked.
Yes, our eldest son and young master Hong are doing it, but if I sell it to you, wouldn’t it mean that my master will have more competitors? The waiter in the store thought to himself, without showing any trace of his face, and said pitifully: "We also
I didn’t expect that so many people would want the questions for the county exam. No, my boss has just issued an order for them to be collected. Don’t even think about this year’s prefectural exam. Even if our bookstore gets it, it will take a few months.
Now, if you want to buy the special papers for the government examination, you should wait until next year."
"Isn't it? Don't your boss know how to get it done earlier? This... the government examination is coming soon. It would be nice to take a look at the previous years' government examination papers in advance."
"Our boss wants to do it too, but no matter how fast we collect, we still need to engrave and print...it's just a matter of getting the same thing, and it's useless no matter how anxious we are."
