Chapter 87 Huiyuan Book Store

Xia Sichan was quickly attracted by the storyline in the novel. The writer also included wives and concubines in the backyards of wealthy families who were jealous and resorted to endless tricks.

It makes the story more ups and downs and fascinating.

It's several notches higher than what she roughly wrote.

Time passed by inadvertently. Shi Ju, who was sleeping in the outer room, thought that the young lady would go back to her parents' home today. Thinking that the young lady was not awake yet, she quietly opened the door. Unexpectedly, the young lady had already woken up and was reading a book.

"Well, miss, you're awake, why didn't you call the slave to help you wash up?" Shi Ju asked softly, yawning.

"I just woke up too," Xia Sichan told a white lie and asked, "Send someone to ask Ye An if he has set up the carriage? Then take out the gifts he brought over and we will leave the house."

"Okay!"

Xia Sichan packed up the manuscript of the storybook and took it with her. Later, she turned to the bookstore and handed the manuscript to shopkeeper Liu. She also took a look at how her store was doing.

The two servants Xia Siwei found for his sister, Ma Guichun and Ye An, stayed in the Wei Mansion for more than a month. They ate and drank every day and had nothing to do. They had not been with their master to protect them for the first time, and they felt a lot of guilt in their hearts.

.

Today was the first time that he went out with his master, so Ye An didn't even take a nap. After receiving the message from Grandma Sun, he immediately took the horse out and tidied the carriage.

Although the two veterans did not have a physical contract in Xia Sichan's hands, Grandma Sun still asked them to sign a short-term living contract.

It's not that I don't worry about their loyalty, but I don't want to sign anything with them. I'm always a little worried in my heart.

When Xia Sichan, Shi Ju and Lu Tao walked out of the corner gate of Wei Mansion, Ye An, dressed in smart clothes, stepped forward quickly and bowed to greet her: "Young lady, I have met you."

"Well, I'll trouble you, Uncle Ye, today." Xia Sichan said guiltily when she saw the sweat beads on Ye An's honey-colored face.

"Ahem, what did Miss say? No trouble, no trouble."

Ye An took out the sweat towel from his waist and wiped the sweat, then strode towards the car's shaft with his lips curled up.

Before Xia Sichan got on the carriage, she did not forget to say to Ye An: "Uncle Ye, we will turn around and stop at Huiyuan Bookstore on Changning Street later."

"Okay, miss, please sit still."

Ye An agreed loudly, sat on the shaft of the carriage, raised his riding whip and flicked it in the air, making a crack.

Following his loud voice: "Drive!" the carriage rumbled forward.

After all, the capital is the capital. Even if the sun is shining outside, the streets are bustling with people, especially the many carriages carrying official status.

The carriage drove for about half an hour before it squeaked and stopped in front of a shop with a carved nanmu door with two facades.

Xia Sichan got off the carriage and raised her head to see her shop. Compared with other shops on this street, it was pretty good.

The bookstore's facade is quite large. Under the high eaves hangs a plaque with red characters on a black background and four powerful characters: Huiyuan Book Store.

I pushed the door open and walked in. Even though it was noon, there were actually three or two customers in the shop.

When the boy in the shop saw the guest, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "What does this lady need?"

Xia Sichan had never been to her shop in her entire life. How could the young man know that she was the owner of the shop?

"I'm looking for shopkeeper Liu." Xia Sichan said while looking at the furnishings in the bookstore.

"I'm sorry, madam, please wait a moment while I go upstairs and ask the shopkeeper to come down." When the boy saw a young and distinguished lady, he bowed and said.

When the discerning store clerk saw Xia Sichan's clothes and accessories, he knew that the lady in front of him was either rich or noble.

When Xia Sichan heard this, she thought that shopkeeper Liu was taking a nap, so she hurriedly stopped him: "No, Shi Ju, just give him the manuscript and ask him to pass it on to shopkeeper Liu." Xia Sichan said to Shi Ju.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked at his shop carefully.

The bookstore is divided into two areas, one is for books and the other is for storybooks.

The books are also divided into two parts: new and old. Regardless of whether they are new or ancient, they are all neatly stacked.

At first glance, it seems that the management is good, which makes people want to buy.

There is also a row of willow armchairs in front of the window, which should be reserved for book-buying customers to sit down and read a book.

I don’t know if other bookstores provide such friendly services.

The reason, of course, is that Xia Sichan has never gone to a bookstore to buy books. Even in her previous life, she fell in love with reading storybooks to pass the boring and desolate days. It was all because Shi Ju asked Cheng Jun to buy them.

Just when Xia Sichan was distracted, "Hey! It's the lady here!" Following the words, shopkeeper Liu walked down from upstairs.

Shopkeeper Liu, who was wearing a dark blue thin cotton gown, turned to Xia Sichan and said courteously: "Miss, please invite me to the inner room for tea."

"Shopkeeper Liu, no need, I have something else to do, I'll wait until next time." Xia Sichan waved her hand and said, she was very satisfied that she could see everything she wanted to see.

Shi Ju stepped forward and handed the manuscript to Shopkeeper Liu.

"How did Miss read this book?" Shopkeeper Liu took the manuscript from Shi Ju's hand and asked.

When Xia Sichan saw him asking about it, she praised him: "It's well written."

"Okay, I'll get someone to publish it." Shopkeeper Liu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Liu, you can take care of it."

After Xia Sichan finished speaking, she was about to leave.

"Miss, it's rare for you to come over and take a look at the account." Shopkeeper Liu suggested.

"No, you can reconcile the accounts in the shop with Butler Cheng when he comes." Xia Sichan warned.

Shopkeeper Liu asked doubtfully: "Steward Cheng?"

"Well, it's Grandma Sun's son Cheng Jun." Xia Sichan explained.

"Oh, oh, I got it, little one." Shopkeeper Liu squinted his eyes, thought for a while, figured out who it was, and nodded while stroking his gray beard.

Xia Sichan thought that since she had left everything to Cheng Jun, she had to trust him.

It is estimated that Cheng Jun went to Jiangnan to buy a house for himself and has not returned yet. Otherwise, how could Shopkeeper Liu not know about it?

However, now it seems that after buying the house, I am afraid that it will be idle.

However, it would not be a bad idea to keep it and give it to Shi Ju as her dowry.

Shopkeeper Liu saw that Xia Sichan didn't want to stay long, so he cupped his hands and personally sent Xia Sichan out.

······

Ten days after Xia Sichan left Beijing, Xia's mother Ding sent someone to deliver tonics to the Xia Mansion, and then she learned that her daughter had followed her son-in-law to handle a case.

I feel happy and worried at the same time.

The happy thing is that my daughter is with her son-in-law, and the newlyweds will definitely be able to make love and deepen their relationship.

Of course, what worries me is that the son-in-law is going to handle a case, and the danger is definitely there at any time.

Her baby was a delicate and frail little girl, who could not withstand such a bloody scene.

Therefore, ever since Mrs. Ding found out that her daughter was traveling far away with her son-in-law, she was always on tenterhooks every day.

Xia Sichan has never been to her own bookstore in her entire life. Today, she took the opportunity to send her manuscripts to take a look at the business conditions of the bookstore.
