Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 263 Bookstore
Qiu Yun hesitated: "Let me think about it."

Qiu Wen said: "Then the second sister thinks about it carefully, I still need to recuperate, so I can't send the second sister out."

It means seeing off guests.

Qiu Yun was a little confused, and she didn't feel comfortable hearing this, but she didn't lose her temper and went back.

Looking at Qiu Yun's appearance, Qiu Wen knew that she would agree.

She is indeed the little transparent of the Qiu family, but one thing is true, that is, she is the eldest lady of the Qiu family after all, if the Qiu family wants to have a good reputation, they must not say anything from her.

Mrs. Qiu's family probably regretted her marriage, otherwise she wouldn't have ignored her at all.

Sure enough, Qiu Yun came over within two days and agreed to her request. Qiu Wen asked Qiu Yun to transfer the title deed of Zhuangzi's shop, which was done very quickly.

Then Qiu Wen's illness just happened, and the Qiu family let out rumors, saying that the master should figure it out, the young lady of the Qiu family should not marry early, otherwise it would be bad for her husband's family and her mother's family.

To be on the safe side, Mrs. Qiu specially held a banquet. At the banquet, Qiu Wen was indeed not so clear-headed as the ordinary rumors said. In addition, Qiu Wen didn't make trouble. Even if others didn't believe it, they had to believe it.

After the banquet, Qiu Wen moved out of Qiu Mansion and went to Zhuangzi, with a maid named Luoxue by her side.

Qiu Wen looked at the land deed of the village. It is a very remote place, and the land is not very good, but there is one thing, that is, the place is relatively large, there is a fishing village nearby, and it is not far from the sea.

Qiu Wen had an idea in her heart.

After moving out of the Qiu Mansion, she was really much freer, but there were not many people available around her, so she went to Yapo's place and picked out two households of servants.

She doesn't have many people to use for the time being, and the money knocked from Qiu Yun is limited, so she can't be careless.

After tidying up Zhuangzi, Qiu Wen started to run outside. The status of women in the Qing Dynasty has improved slightly in recent years, but it is still not very convenient for unmarried women to go out. It is simply that Qiu Wen is slow in development and small in stature. The key is because she is not taken seriously. A young lady doesn't even have pierced ears.

It just happened to be convenient for her to disguise herself as a man. She is not gentle like the women of this era, she is modern and open, even Luo Xue can't find anything wrong with her disguising temperament.

Qiu Wen finished her disguise and started to inquire about the news.

After inquiring about the news, Qiu Wen was a little confused. This Qing Dynasty was definitely not the Qing Dynasty she knew. Cangzhou belonged to Tianjin Wei, and there was also news about the construction of the railway in Jinghai County.

There are also cement roads, newspapers, Wu's department store, and the imperial examination does not take stereotyped essays. She is not illiterate, nor is she a novice in history. The Qing Dynasty in history is about to close the country at this time. How could those imported products be like this? flood.

Qiu Wen was shocked in her heart. After the shock, she had a guess. No matter who this fellow was, the development of the Qing Dynasty in a good direction would be beneficial to her.

Today, the Qing Dynasty is still a businessman, peasant, businessman, but the status of merchants has improved a lot, and the ranks between the four classes are no longer so clear.

After many inquiries, Qiu Wen had a few suspects. One of them was the current empress. After all, the emperor only had her as a woman, and the other was the current emperor, or both.

No matter how Qiu Wen guessed, she couldn't prove it.

The most important thing now is how to make money. The shop that Qiu Jun gave was a small bookstore. The location is not good and the profit is not much, otherwise it would not be given to her.

Based on what she found out and the shop, Qiu Wen suddenly had an idea.

Qiu Wen checked the shop. The shopkeeper in the shop had read books, he was not young, and looked honest, but she checked the accounts, and the accounts were wrong. Qiu Wen investigated again and decided to resign from the shopkeeper. .

He didn't report to the official, and he didn't ask him to pay compensation, so he showed the evidence, and the shopkeeper was very sensible, so he left the bookstore and returned to his hometown in the countryside.

"Miss, why are you closing the shop all of a sudden?"

Qiu Wen said: "The location of the shop is not too bad. I heard that there used to be an academy here, but it was moved later, and the business gradually declined. It is impossible for a scholar to travel far away to buy a book. First, close the shop for a while. , I have inquired here, the location is not bad, and there are many wealthy families living around, if it is possible, we can open a shop selling miscellaneous books, mainly Chinese and picture albums."

Qiu Wen naturally thinks more than that, but at this stage she has limited funds, if possible, she would like to get a set of printing equipment, and then sign and print the book herself.

"Miss, miscellaneous books are not easy to sell. Rich families think that miscellaneous books are not serious books, and it is easy to spoil people's temperament. Generally, those who are willing to spend money on selling are secretly buying behind the back of the family. These are still a minority, miss. The servants are afraid..." You are out of luck.

Qiu Wen is naturally aware of what Luo Xue said, but what she wants to sell is not only miscellaneous books and scripts, but also analysis of real questions, exam papers, etc. Qiu Wen found out, and no one has noticed this. It is a good market, but For the time being, she is not going to do this, after all, she has no connections.

First open the shop and sell the story books first.

The book Qiu Wen wants to sell is not an ordinary book. She also reads modern online novels with various themes. Class books are indeed addictive.

"You'll know when the time comes. Besides, anyway, the shop is free, and the money is the kindness of the second sister. It's nothing if you lose money, right?"

Luoxue thinks about it, it seems to be the same.

So I don't say anything more.

Qiu Wen was vigorous and resolute, and quickly changed the shop. In places like book shops, especially Qiu Wen intends to sell scripts, most of the customers are women. Of course, Qiu Wen does not intend to let go of the men's market, but it takes a step. One step at a time, the big deal is to open another store at that time.

Qiu Wen intends to use this shop exclusively to receive women.

Then the decoration style is very important. Qiu Wen didn't study design, but she has seen a lot of things since she was a child. In addition, the unique things of this era are very exquisite, so Qiu Wen has more room to play.

The bookstore has a backyard, which was originally used to store books and live in people. Qiu Wen has also used it. There is a small yard between the shop and the backyard. Qiu Wen asked people to build a few glass rooms in it. , It can be used as a private room, and it is also a fun thing to like to read quietly in it.

The backyard was opened up by Qiu Wen into a room with various desks inside. The desks were specially made by Qiu Wen, and even a sofa and a coffee table were made by someone.

It took Qiu Wen more than a month to complete the decoration of the bookstore. Fortunately, no toxic decoration materials were used in ancient times, and they were all natural wood, so it didn't have to be vacant for a period of time before people could enter.

After the decoration here was completed, Qiu Wen took out the scriptures written by others during this period of time and printed them. She privately found a few poor scholars, gave them the outline of the story, and asked them to write some semi-vernacular Chinese. Fairness, plus Qiu Wen promised them not to reveal their names, and if the book sells well, they will give some share.

It was not easy for them to study, so they agreed.

Qiu Wen is very confident about these books. She has already spent a fortune to start printing. She used a government printing agency. This agency is connected to the newspaper. At that time, it was just to make extra money, and its reputation can be guaranteed. .

It just so happened that Qiu Wen finished printing and decoration, and all the books were placed in the book shop. Of course, in addition to these, there are also some travel notes, miscellaneous notes and poems that women prefer. Among them is a book about beauty care written by Qiu Wen. There are some modern verified scientific methods on it, and Qiu Wen also compiled a book.

To be on the safe side, Qiu Wen specially gave a copy to her good sister Qiu Yun. Naturally, Qiu Wen didn't intend to forgive her. Even if the little girl did something wrong unintentionally, she would have to bear the consequences, but the consequences had to be given to her in time.

Qiu Yun's reputation is not bad, and her books are also good, Qiu Yun just wants to use her reputation to advertise. Qiu Wen believes that such books are generally not rejected by daughters, and if they are interested, they will think about Amway everywhere. It was the result Qiu Wen wanted.
