Chapter 351 Ji's Bookstore Is Too Shameless
The quality of Ji's Bookstore is not only very important to Xie Yu, but also very important to the entire Ji Mansion.

After all, although the population of the Ji Mansion is not prosperous, there are no concubines in the backyard, and there are no sons and daughters, but the various expenses in the mansion are also extremely high.

Although the Ji family has also established some properties over the years, the Ji family is from a poor family after all. Before Ji Li High School, there was only a small bookstore in the family.

Now that Ji Li has become the elder of the pavilion, the family's property still cannot be compared with that of a real powerful family. The income of Ji's bookstore is very important to the entire Ji mansion.

Xie Yu, as the mistress of the house, is even more interested in this.

When she looked at last month's accounts, she found that the profit was less than a thousand taels, which made her feel uneasy, so she called Xie Yu into the mansion to discuss the matter of the bookstore.

"You should know how much effort I have used in front of your brother-in-law to keep your position as the big shopkeeper. You can't embarrass me?" In front of his relatives, Xie Yu restrained Mrs. Ge's aura, Just a soft reminder.

"Sister, don't worry, you can't use the side door, then we will fight with Shuxiangju openly. Isn't it just a script? They have Nanke Yimeng, and we have Shen Lang. As early as two months ago, "Xianxia Xiaoyao" appeared At the time of "Biography", I had already invited Shen Lang."

At this time Xie Yu was full of confidence, not as restless as when he was alone.

"Is that Shen Lang who wrote a lot of dramas? I remember that in "The Legend of Huangmei", the theater lasted for three months, and it was full every day, and the applause continued for a long time."

Xie Yu exclaimed.

"That's right, it's that Shen Lang. I've read his script, and it's as good as his drama. The engraving workshop is already engraving it. This time, I also found a storyteller to talk about it for a few days in our Ji's teahouse. , At present, the response from customers is very good, I believe that when the script is sold, the effect will be very good."

Xie Yu had a slight smile on his face, and he had a plan in mind.

"That depends on your performance." Xie Yu also smiled back.

"Sister, don't worry, our Ji's Bookstore is the largest bookstore in the capital, what is that Shuxiangju, what can such a small shop do?"

Xie Yu laughed lightly.

The siblings chatted for a long time before Xie Yu left. However, when he was leaving, he met Ji Jie who was passing by the garden.

"Uncle, I heard that Chu Chu was lucky enough to escape. Is there any way you can help A Jie get justice?" Ji Jie walked over quickly, even ignoring the flowers she just picked.

"Don't keep your eyes on one person. You are in the mansion these days, and you probably don't know that Ye Yixiao has broken off the engagement with the Seventh Princess of Xiliang. Xiliang and I, Daming, don't need to get married anymore. Your chance has come."

Xie Yu said.

"Really?" Ji Jie couldn't believe it. She had secretly liked the person for so many years in her heart, and she thought it was impossible to be together anymore. Who would have thought that it would turn around.

"Of course it's true. Now that the whole capital has spread the news, Xiliang is going to send a prince over to be a proton, so let's call it a day." Xie Yu said with a smile.

Ji Jie's face suddenly burst into ecstasy, "God treats me well! God treats me well!" After a short ecstasy, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.

"What's the matter? Now you have the opportunity to ask your father to ask a matchmaker for a kiss, why are you not happy?" Xie Yu was puzzled.

"But father said that the emperor would not want to see the Ji family marry the Ye family, and my father would definitely not agree to it." Ji Jie felt depressed.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yu laughed out loud, "You don't have to worry about this. When the tenth prince of Xiliang arrives in the capital safely, Ye Yixiao will be a commoner and no longer a university scholar. The Ji family has a son-in-law of a commoner. The emperor will not Afraid."

Ji Jie's dim eyes instantly regained their brilliance, "Great! Great! This is simply the fate bestowed by God! We are destined to be together!"

"Thank you uncle, I'll go find my mother first." Ji Jie left in a hurry after performing a junior salute. Although she still had the demeanor of a lady from an aristocratic family in her steps, the slightly hurried steps still revealed her excitement at this time. Mood.

With Xiang Tian, ​​a buddy who hangs out all day, Chu Chu naturally knew the news of Ji's Bookstore at the first time.

"Ma'am, Shen Lang is a young man who went to investigate. He was also a student who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but he failed every time, and his name fell to Sun Shan. His family is very poor, so he can make a living by writing dramas."

"This person has written no less than [-] dramas, most of which are extremely popular. Every mansion in the capital likes Shen Lang's dramas whenever there is a happy event. The last one that welcomes is "The Legend of Huangmei". It is said that At that time, the theater lasted for three consecutive months, and the venues were full, with no empty seats."

Chu Chu was sitting in front of the desk, holding her weird quill in her hand, writing and drawing, and didn't respond to the news reported by Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian, ​​who was young, was very sad, "Not only that, that Ji's Bookstore is really shameless, and even followed Madam's method, and went to the teahouse to find a lot of storytellers to tell stories."

"I went to listen to it on purpose. Although it's not as interesting as our script, but now everyone doesn't have a new script to read. This new one is written by Shen Lang. Everyone seems to like it."

"Oh." Chu Chu's tone was not salty, and she just responded without stopping the pen in her hand.

"Ma'am, aren't you worried? What if Ji's Bookstore robs our customers?" Xiang Tian was very impatient.

"Competition is inevitable in business, so there is nothing to worry about." Chu Chu finally spoke.

"But..." Xiang Tian still felt annoyed in his heart, "The madam obviously thought of that idea, Ji's Bookstore is really shameless, and learned our method."

Chu Chu put down the quill, and seeing his aggrieved look, she couldn't help but smile slightly, "My wife's method is useful, so these people have learned it. This shows that my wife is very smart, and such a good method can be used. Imagine."

Xiang Tian: "..."

Ma'am, don't you think this sentence would be more appropriate for me to say?

"Ji's Bookstore has three floors, which is much larger than ours. If they attract all the customers away, then our business will not be good." Xiang Tian said in a low voice.

Chu Chu stood up and stretched her waist, "Hey, don't you be so pessimistic, young man? How do you know that Ji's Bookstore will snatch away our customers with its multi-functionality?"

"It's not that I'm pessimistic, it's that Shen Lang wrote some kind of fairy tale, oh, it seems to be called "The Romance of the Martial God", and those tea drinkers think it's good, anyway, there's nothing else to read right now, When Ji's Bookstore sells it, they will definitely buy a copy and have a look."

Xiang Tian argued.

"You also said that there is nothing to read right now." Chu Chu smiled mysteriously.

Xiang Tian is very clever, he can understand everything, and a smile can't help but appear on his face, "Ma'am, you mean, we are going to publish a new storybook too?"

"Don't you know that the second volume of "The Legend of Xiuxian" has been engraved as early as ten days ago?" Chu Chu asked in surprise.

Xiang Tian was troubled, "I don't know! No one told me, how would I know? The engraving workshop has moved to the yard next to the bookstore. Since the shopkeeper invited new craftsmen, there is no shortage of people there. , I never went there again.”

"Then go around when you're free, and the engraving workshop will be your site in the future." Chu Chu said with a smile.

Xiang Tian was shocked, "Madam, did you promote me to be in charge?"

in charge?Chu Chu didn't care about the title, "Yes, from now on, the engraving workshop will be under your control, and the craftsmen inside will be your buddies. The engraving workshop is the most important thing in our bookstore, so there must be no mistakes."

Chu Chu's attitude is extremely serious.

"Don't worry, madam, leave it to me, there will be no problems." Xiang Tian swore.

Chu Chu smiled slightly, a little envious of the passion and vitality in Xiang Tian's eyes, "Since I decided to entrust Kefang to you, I naturally believe in you."

Hearing a plop, Xiang Tian immediately knelt down, "Thank you Madam for the promotion, Xiang Tian is very grateful, and I will position Madam to share my worries from now on."

"Get up, there is gold under the man's knees, kneel down and kneel down to his parents. Don't kneel casually." A gentle voice sounded in the study, and it went straight into Xiang Tian's heart.

He still knelt, "The moment Madam bought me and my father, they were Xiang Tian's reborn parents. If Madam didn't dislike her, she bought us back and hired a doctor for my father. Perhaps, Xiang Tian is now an orphan." Ma'am, Xiang Tian will never forget the great kindness of your wife."

Chu Chu smiled helplessly, "Since that's the case, take care of the engraving workshop and the family members in the garden."

After Xiang Tian agreed, he got up and left.

Ye Yixiao, who was outside the study, walked in with a wooden box in his arms. With his profound skills, he heard everything that happened in the study clearly.

His eyes were only dim, and at the moment he entered the study, he concealed everything again, "Don't be too busy, I brought you something good."

Chu Chu put down her pen and looked at the handsome man who was walking towards her. Although the ecstasy Gu had been released and the cinnabar between the eyebrows had disappeared, she still had the same demeanor and was still the handsome man.

"What good stuff?" Ye Yixiao had already opened the lid when Chu Chu asked.

Looking at the building blocks of different shapes inside, Chu Chu was surprised, "It was made so quickly, your craftsman is very good."

"It's just made according to the size of the drawing you gave, just like a gourd painting. If you can't even make this kind of thing, why should I raise such a craftsman?" Ye Yixiao said.

When Ye Si, who was secretly protecting Chuchu, heard it, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "Young master, young master, you are a craftsman who designs an organization, not a craftsman who is a carpenter, okay?"In the whole world, you are the only one who can make these people make a few small wooden blocks!
Chu Chu took out the building blocks. She was a little unskilled at the beginning, maybe she hadn’t touched them for a long time, and she was a little unfamiliar. will be stabbed.

After passing the first unfamiliar words, Chu Chu moved faster and faster, and soon, a small wooden house appeared in front of her eyes. After putting together the small wooden house, there were still many building blocks left, so Chu Chu continued to assemble.

"The little girl is just at the age where she loves to play. If you give this to her, even if she can't make her forgive you immediately, most of the anger in her heart will definitely disappear."

"I hope so." Ye Yixiao sighed, "The other gift is also going well, I hope that girl will really forgive me by then."

"By the way, besides the little girl, there are also Chu Hong and Chu Xuan." Chu Chu reminded suddenly.

"How could I forget these two. They are easier to talk to than little girls. After all, I have never broken my promise to them." Actually, Yinye Yixiao felt very guilty about Chu Qianyue.

She is already five years old this year, but he has not caught up with her four birthdays.

Therefore, even if she is angry now and doesn't call him father or let him live at home, he is still willing to follow her temperament and solve the problems between the two of them in the way she likes.

Chu Chu patted him on the shoulder, "There is a long way to go, I am optimistic about you."

Ye Yixiao held her slightly cold fingers, wiped the gap between them, interlocked his fingers, and directly wrapped her in his arms, "Don't worry, our wedding banquet will definitely be blessed by relatives."

"Including the Ye family?" Chu Chu raised her eyebrows and asked.

"A Ming likes you very much."

"You know I'm not talking about him."

"In the Ye family, you don't have to care about anyone except grandma." Ye Yixiao's voice was very gentle.

"Then the old lady will agree with you to marry me?"

"You are so kind, grandma will definitely agree."

Chu Chu heard the overtones.

"Actually, I don't like Ye Mansion. There are too many people there." Chu Chu said suddenly.

"I know, so, after we get married, we will live next door. It has been repaired almost, and you will definitely like it." Ye Yixiao and Xiong Zhe said.

Surprised, Chu Chu turned her head away, "You want to move out of Ye Mansion? Will the old lady agree?"

"I'll let my grandmother agree. Leave these things to me and I'll take care of them. Don't worry about it. If you have time, rest more." Ye Yixiao said.

Chu Chu didn't say anything more.

The study suddenly fell silent, and a warm atmosphere lingered between the two of them.

"Little girl has a gift, what about me?" Soon after, Chu Chu deliberately asked.
