Chapter 313 An instant hit
Chu Chu felt that she was so stupid. In the eyes of these people, Ye Yicai was the shopkeeper. She was just a coworker, just like their craftsmen, and there was no distinction between who was superior and who was inferior.

"Ahem!" Chu Chu deliberately coughed a few times to hide the embarrassment in her heart, "This is what the shopkeeper told me. He is busy collecting money at the front, so I will leave these small things to me. The shopkeeper said, wait until you are busy." This wave, everyone can rest for a day."

The four craftsmen came back to their senses, and they were not polite, and immediately called the two of them to come forward to help. In the current situation, with one more person, their printing speed will be faster.

Seeing that neither Xiang Tian nor Gong Yu showed any disgust, Chu Chu felt relieved, and immediately moved the stack of books on the table to the front.

The guests who were noisy at first, saw that the words that were about to come to an end, and finally added some more, so they felt relieved and stopped arguing about this issue.

When Ye Yi saw Chuchu appear, he really wanted to ask her how she was progressing in finding someone. Of course, it would be best to come over right now, just like yesterday, and save him from the nightmare of collecting money and looking for it.

However, his hopes were shattered. After Chu Chu arranged the stack of books, she immediately turned around and left the same way.

Ye Yi felt so aggrieved that he could only keep his head down and continue his work.

Then seeing Chu Chu come out with a stack of books again, Ye Yi's eyes kept drifting to Chu Chu's body, he really wanted to say, all the hard work can be left to him to do!

He is not afraid of hard work, tiredness, really not at all!
Now in Ye Yi's eyes, there is nothing in this world that is more terrifying than counting money and changing money.

As if she didn't receive the signal from Ye Yi, Chu Chu went back the same way, and then repeated this. After she refilled the notebook on the desk, she left from the back again.

But this time, she didn't come out with the book.

Ye Yi could only accept money in exchange for money, who told him to be a closet!

Chu Chu didn't even have time to ask a few questions from her own daughter, but went back to the yard directly. There are still two sick patients at home. If she doesn't come back, she will be at a loss!
However, Chu Chu ignored Chu Huanchen's work efficiency. After she went back, the doctor had already finished seeing a doctor and prescribed all the medicines, which surprised Chu Chu a little.

She has only been in contact with Chu Huanchen three times, but this person gives her the feeling that he is reckless, doing nothing all day long, walking around and playing with birds, a person who only knows how to enjoy himself, and the people in the capital treat him respectfully. In view of the fact that he was born in the Duke of the Protectorate.

But now it seems that Chu Huanchen is not as incompetent as rumored by the outside world. Although it is a trivial matter to find a doctor to see a doctor, but in such a short period of time, the two people have been settled, and the diagnosis and treatment are completed. The house I live in has been cleaned and some necessary clothes have been bought, and the things are not very good.At first glance, he is a person who has put his mind to it.

"So capable?" Chu Chu looked at him with a smile.

Chu Huanchen was not blushing, breathless, still fanning the folding fan in his hand gently, pretending to be suave, "That's natural, after all, Ye Yixiao and I are brothers, since we said to help, we will naturally send the Buddha to the West, Do things properly, otherwise, wouldn't it be an insult to my dignified son?"

Chu Chu didn't have the habit of exposing people's background, she just asked, "How are these two people doing?"

"Don't worry, there's nothing serious about it. The old man suffered from a cold all the way, and he didn't get medical treatment in time. He went back and forth all the way, so he was in poor health. The woman had a miscarriage, and her body was tossing so badly that she couldn't get enough to eat all the way. Let’s not talk about self-cultivation, so the body suffers a lot.”

Chu Huanchen said.

Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine."

Chu Huanchen glanced at her sideways, "Don't be too happy, the man will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine, every three to five days, but the woman is not necessarily so, why does it take a month? You don't even have a cook in your yard, you bought such a person, do you want to cook for these people by yourself?"

"Of course not," Chu Chu said, "I've already said it, I didn't want to treat them as domestic slaves, I just lacked manpower in the shop, and I will pay them wages. It's not like they don't have a kitchen in their yard, I provide food, They figured it out on their own."

Chu Huanchen looked at her like he was looking at some monster, "So you mean, the people you bought with money, you live in them, feed them, and hire a doctor to take medicine for them. The only thing they have to do What you want is to go to the shop in front of you to help, but you pay them wages?"

He couldn't help cupping his fists and bowing his hands, "I really didn't know that Madam is so kind-hearted, so rich, and doing such kind deeds!"

neat:"……"

It seems that something is really wrong, why does it sound like she is at a disadvantage?
After thinking about it for a long time, she still felt that there was a huge difference in her thinking. She really couldn't come up with a reasonable solution according to the thinking here.

"I don't know what is the best strategy for the son?" Chu Chu also imitated his previous appearance and saluted.

Seeing that Chu Chu was subdued, Chu Huanchen seemed to have won some great victory, and his whole body was full of energy and radiant.

"I've already bought two other wives, let them wash and cook, take care of the sick, and clean the room on weekdays, so it won't delay your business."

"No matter for what purpose you bought these two families, they are your slaves now, and you are their master. Whatever you can let them do, they will say whatever they want, just pay a monthly fee That's fine, don't be taller than the craftsmen in the shop!"

Chu Chu listened quietly without making a sound.

Seeing her like this, Chu Huanchen continued, "If you really don't like to buy and sell people, and don't want to treat these people as domestic slaves, you can let them redeem themselves with money. What you spent today is really worth it. Gold, silver, no matter how kind they are, they can't be set free so easily, right?"

"If they don't want to become domestic slaves, they have to work hard on their own. Didn't you not give them monthly money? If they want to be free, then save it slowly. You are not the kind of unscrupulous profiteers who raise their money. As long as they work hard, they will always save enough money for redemption."

When Chu Huanchen said these words, he didn't even blink his eyes, it just came out of his mouth.

Clearly organized, logical, and highly operable, he is simply a capable person!

Chu Chu sized him up seriously, "You don't have an official position, do you?"

"So what? Our Duke Protector's Mansion has an excellent reputation both in the court and among the people. If I were to enter the court, with my ability, the emperor wouldn't have trouble sleeping and eating?"

Chu Huanchen said a little angrily, with unspeakable emotions in his words.

Chu Chu's pupils shrank, and she was slightly taken aback, "What did you just say? Why didn't I hear anything?"

"I mean..." Chu Huanchen just wanted to repeat it when he met Chu Chu's deep and serious eyes, and he immediately came back to his senses.

If the words he said just now were heard by someone with a heart and reached the ears of the emperor, it would be a fatal disaster, not only that, but it would also bring disaster to the Duke Protector's Mansion!

"I mean, I've helped you so much, shouldn't you thank me well? For example, give me a jar of wine or something?" Chu Huanchen turned into that cynical look again.

"There is no more wine, but I think that since you have not been an official in the court, you can try to do business. I think you should be very suitable for this."

Chu Chu suggested.

Chu Huanchen groped for the fan bone with one hand, and looked at Chu Chu with a more serious expression.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chuchu looked unpredictable, and suddenly realized something, "I forgot that you are the son of the world, a dignified son, if you are a businessman, you will definitely be said to be scattered by others. Your status is really inappropriate. You Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Chu Huanchen laughed suddenly, "Young Master, I can do whatever I want, what do other people's opinions matter to me? I was thinking just now, maybe I can understand a little bit, why did Ye Yixiao fall in love with you?"

Chu Chu raised her eyebrows, and glanced at him, "You don't need to say that? Naturally, it's because of my stunning appearance and unparalleled intelligence."

Chu Huanchen's entire face froze, even though he had seen countless people, he had never seen such a thick-skinned person!

Chu Chu was very satisfied with his troubled and shocked expression, and he dealt with other things happily physically and mentally.

*
Xiang Tian and Gong Yu were busy all afternoon in the carving workshop, and even ate dinner outside the carving workshop. They were busy with the four craftsmen while eating. They didn't have time to think until they returned to the yard from the carving workshop.

First of all, slaves who are bought and sold by others are picked and picked by others like goods. I thought that people like them who dragged their families with them would definitely not be welcomed by others, and they might not be sold.

However, some things are so wonderful that someone actually bought them, helped their relatives to treat their illnesses, and even promised to return the contract of sale to them in the future.

This is a great thing!

As soon as they arrived at the new home, they started to work, and it was not the usual rough work like sweeping. Printing books in the engraving workshop, everything changed so fast that the two of them were in a trance, and they couldn't believe it was real.

Looking down at the black ink stains on the palms of their hands, the two of them could be sure that they were finally free from the days of not having enough to eat, not being warm enough to wear, and beating and scolding every day.

After Chu Chu checked today's accounts, she went to the side courtyard again. This time Shan Di and Hua Fei took the medicine, and their spirits have improved a lot. The little girl Gong Hua also obediently stood beside her parents.

"There are a lot of things going on in the mansion, and I just explained a few words in a hurry this morning. Now there are some things and rules that you need to understand." Chu Chu looked serious, and the five of them were shocked.

"Shang Di and Hua Fei's bodies have been diagnosed and treated by the doctor. There is no major problem. They will be fine after a period of recuperation. During this time, you two need to work in the carving workshop every day. When you are approved by the four craftsmen, you Just like them, get paid every month!"

This was what Chu Chu said to Xiang Tian and Gong Yu.

Both of them were happy. They didn't just do things today. They learned from the mouths of the four craftsmen that they could receive five taels of silver every month!

"When Shandy's health recovers, you will also go to the engraving workshop ahead. Similarly, as long as the four craftsmen approve, you can also receive wages!" Chu Chu said.

"What about me? I can do a lot." Hua Fei asked impatiently.

"Since I bought you back, I need you to do things. After you recover, you have to do some things in the mansion. There is always someone to clean such a big yard, three meals a day, washing and brushing. There are many things. Naturally , wages are also available.”

After Chu Chu finished speaking, she turned to look at Gong Hua, "You are a few years older than my daughter, from tomorrow onwards, you will play with her, stay by his side, and take care of her."

"Ma'am, do I have any wages? I want to earn money to help my mother get medicine so that she can get well soon." Gong Hua asked in a low voice.

Chu Chu showed her first smile tonight, "Of course there are."

"However, you still need to pay for your medical treatment and medicine yourself! You don't have any money now, so I can help you pay in advance, but when you want to redeem yourself in the future, the money will also be returned to me!"

Chu Chu emphasized.

"So, we really have a chance to get back our own contract and not be slaves?" Xiang Tian asked excitedly.

Chu Chu smiled and nodded, "It's natural, in my eyes, you are the ones I hired to work for me."

"Thank you Madam for your kindness! Thank you Madam for your kindness!" Shandy's excited arms began to tremble, and when he looked carefully, his eyes were already shining brightly, "You bastard, don't thank Madam!"

Xiang Tian immediately knelt down, "Thank you Ma'am!"

Chuchu subconsciously took a few steps back, she had no choice, she was still not very able to accept these etiquettes, "There is no need to perform such a great ceremony, there are only a few people in the mansion, so there is no need to be so particular about it."

"Since our family has been sold to my wife, it is God's will. My wife and I will not redeem our bodies. We are willing to stay here for the rest of our lives. If possible, we only hope that our daughter can recover her freedom and marry a good family in the future. The happiness is perfect, I take my daughter to thank Madam."

A rare expression of gratitude appeared on Gong Yu's face.

"That's right, I'm old, it doesn't matter if I'm a house slave or not, I'll stay in the mansion forever." Shan Di said hastily.

"To redeem or not to redeem is your freedom, I will not force you," Chu Chu glanced at the five people, her tone could not help but increase.

"However, since you have entered the Chu family, you have to abide by the rules of our Chu family. I hate cheating on others the most! Unless you have the ability to hide it, otherwise, once I find out, I will never be soft-hearted!"

The crisp voice was cold and majestic, and a powerful aura radiated from her body, which surprised everyone. Gong Hua, who was the least timid, had already hid behind Gong Yu in fright. Apart from nodding, what kind of action was she really doing? Can't do it.

Only then did they realize that although the woman in front of them was young, she was by no means an ordinary person.

How many women can exude such a fierce aura?

How many women can have such a decisive momentum?

How many women can have such a powerful majesty?
Originally, the few people were only grateful to Chuchu, but now, in addition to being grateful, they also had a bit of awe.

After Chu Chu left, the two families looked at each other, and finally went back to their respective houses.

*
The family suddenly had more staff, and Chu Chu felt relieved in an instant.

Aunt Wan and Aunt Wang who were bought later were busy in the yard, and Chu Qianyue also had Gong Hua as a playmate, and there were two more people helping in the carving workshop, so Chu Chu had a lot of time to do other things.

She can write scripts every day, or go to the bookstore to help Ye Yi share the calculation tasks, or go to the carving workshop to help out, and discuss with the artisans about Ye Fangzhai who used to be in Yunshui Town when they are free. Among them, the new printing method researched.

All in all, life was very fulfilling.

And during this period of time, there has been a wave of fairy tales in the capital. From the ladies and ladies of the high gates to the common people, almost everyone knows Shuxiangju's "Xianxia Xiaoyao Biography".

Not to mention a copy of each person's hand, but it is almost the same.

It can be said that by virtue of the reputation of "Xianxia Xiaoyao Zhuan", the reputation of Shuxiangju has also been established in the capital, and many colleagues realized that the original Chenji Bookstore has changed owners, and even the name of the shop has changed. changed.

Shuxiangju can be said to have become famous in one fell swoop, and now in the entire capital, almost everyone who likes story books does not know that there is a bookstore called Shuxiangju on the streets of Shushi.

And those who are not interested in dialogue, or even those who are not interested in dialogue, just listen to the people around them, and passively know the name of Shuxiangju.

It can be said that the reputation of Shuxiangju has already been established.

Chu Chu's first step was a huge success!

From the day she started selling books, within ten days, she had earned no less than a thousand taels!If this is known by other colleagues, I don't know what envy, jealousy and hatred are!
