Of those who come for the exam, some come with satisfaction and some leave disappointed.
For those who will take the county exam next year, coming to Yao's Bookstore will be a big gain; but for those who will take the prefectural exam this year, it will be a tragedy.
--well……
——People don’t have what you want, and if you don’t want, they do.
Qingzhu stayed at the door of Yao's Bookstore, looking at the scholars who were either happy or disappointed, and felt a little sympathetic.
His master asked someone to check it out. In fact, the Yao family had already collected these past examination papers last year, but someone in his family ended up this year and they didn't take them out.
At that time, Qingzhu complained that the Yao family was "petty", but his master glared at him: "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? The Yao family collects these things for their own family.
Are they stupid if they give it to outsiders before they can use it? After they have finished the exam, they sell it and make some money along the way. This is what smart people do."
Qingzhu suddenly panicked.
Anyway, the master has disliked him for a long time, so he should be more honest.
Just as I was complaining in my mind, I saw a group of people coming not far away.
Qingzhu saw from a distance that the woman leading the way was wearing a pink and green flat ball pattern intertwined damask and sapphire blue embroidery, wide sleeves, bee entangled flower satin dark clothes, and a light-colored orchid ruffled gold ten-leg cloth.
The floor-length skirt, with the lower garment swinging slightly, turned out to be a brown-green one-piece gold-carved satin flowered skirt.
The bun is slightly slanted, and the temples are unique and decorated with pearl hairpins. It is not very luxurious, but elegant and refined, and extremely beautiful.
There are snow-white crescent moons on her ears, but they can't suppress her skin like snow and her charming appearance. Instead, they make her jade bones and snowy skin look like a mysterious goddess from the Nine Heavens, so beautiful that people can't look directly at her.
Qingzhu was a little frightened. This woman seemed to have become more beautiful?!
Wait, why did he use the words "better-looking"?
He...has seen her?!
Qingzhu turned around and entered a yard next to the bookstore, shouting in surprise: "Master, I saw her, I saw that woman..."
"What?! Did you really see her? Are you sure it's her and you didn't recognize the wrong person?" Li Wenchong's hand holding the tea cup became unsteady, and the tea poured out.
However, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to this. He was more concerned about whether the woman Qingzhu saw was the one he slept with in the first place.
"Well! It's her. Although she has become younger and more beautiful, the servant will definitely not mistake the person. It is her..." Qingzhu's eyes sparkled and he said happily, "She is definitely not the old lady of the Yao family. She
She looks like she is less than thirty years old. No matter how young the old lady of the Yao family is, she cannot be that young if she is already a grandmother."
"It's not just that they look similar, right?" Li Wenchong hesitated again when he heard what he said.
"Impossible! If Master doesn't believe it, Master can go and see for himself. It must be that woman."
"What if...what if it's not?"
"If not, we will look for it again. Didn't the master say that there is nothing in the world that cannot be investigated clearly? One day, we will find out clearly."
Li Wenchong glared at him.
But what they didn't expect was that after they hesitated like this, when Li Wenchong climbed up the wall to confirm whether she was the woman, the woman Qingzhu mentioned had already disappeared in the alley.
Fortunately, Qingzhu was watched by people at that time, and after questioning, he found out that the woman entered Yao's Bookstore with a group of slaves.
"Master, do we want to go to the bookstore?"
"Forget it, wait until she comes out. What if she is recognized in the bookstore..." Li Wenchong did not continue, but Qingzhu understood instantly.
Just like they sent people to contact Mr. Yao and wanted to get close to Mrs. Yao through Mr. Yao, they were also worried that Li Wenchong would go there in person. If he was recognized all of a sudden and treated as a gangster, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Already.
It would be better to secretly find out the other party's identity first, know who they are, and then act accordingly.
In Yao's Bookstore, Gu Qingling went directly to the back room.
When he opened Yao's Bookstore, Gu Qingling had already thought of "meeting customers", so he set up a reception room next to the bookstore specifically for "meeting customers".
Now, Second Master Yao, Third Master Yao and that "Master Qian" are in the reception room.
At first glance, Gu Qingling felt that Mr. Qian was indeed a businessman, with a Confucian and businessman air, and he didn't look like an unusual businessman who smelled of copper.
"Mom, you're here!"
When Second Master Yao saw Gu Qingling coming, he was relieved and quickly stood up to greet them, and also helped introduce the two of them to each other.
Mr. Yao Sanye, the background wall, also consciously stood up and saluted to Gu Qingling.
Gu Qingling first greeted his two sons, then turned to Master Qian and said hello to him.
After smiling and chatting for a while and sitting down, Gu Qingling did not rush to talk about business matters, but instead tested the other party's identity and plans.
Mr. Qian does have ulterior motives. On the surface, he seems to be just an ordinary big businessman. He is lucky and has made money in several businesses. In fact, he is the "Finance Minister" specially selected by Li Wenchong to handle matters for Li Wenchong.
Some business issues.
After all, Li Wenchong is a prince. He is used to enjoying things. He can't do everything by himself, right?
It is also a good thing for Li Wenchong to have someone help him do business and get money every year. For Mr. Qian, with such a big help, he no longer has to worry about being "cheated" when doing business. He is also very special.
Cool.
To do business, you not only need to be able to do business and have good goods and services, but you also need to have a backer. Otherwise, if you have Kingsoft Bank and encounter several powerful people who want to deceive you, you can do it with just a dirty trick.
Let your whole family go to jail and swallow your money.
Example: Ma Family in Yunyang City.
Ma Jicheng, who wanted to plot against the Yao family, but was "trapped" by Gu Qingling and even dragged down his backers, isn't that what their family is like?
He made a fortune by clinging to the Zhennan Mountain lineage and became the dominant tyrant in Yunyang City. In the end, Zhennan Mountain collapsed, and the Ma family in Yunyang City also suffered misfortune. The principal culprit was executed and all the others were sent to the frontier.
"There is no problem with cooperation, but there is one thing I want to make clear in advance." After hearing Mr. Qian's cooperation, Gu Qingling said with a smile, "Our bookstore is just a small bookstore. I'm afraid we won't be able to produce so many books at once. I don't know.
It is not possible to pick up books in batches. That is, you make a plan in advance and book what books you want in the next year or month, and then give us the required quantity, and we will consider it and make sure we can produce it.
, I will give you a production cycle, and you will pick up the goods according to this production cycle..."
After all, he didn't know the details of the other party, so Gu Qingling decided that it was better to be cautious.
They may not produce many books, but the quality is guaranteed and they are creative. She believes that as long as Mr. Qian is a visionary, he will be very happy to cooperate with them.
Before they develop trust and reach long-term cooperation, this early trial and mutual adjustment is very necessary for both the Yao family and Mr. Qian.
