284. The Nineteenth of the Imperial City
Why is the He family so busy that they don’t even have time to return home in glory?
It is because A Nian, the Tanhua No. 1 Middle School, the He family, and the Shen family, who have body, have all devoted themselves to the glorious career of selling books.
As soon as the Spring Examination List was posted, He Zijin put her books on the market together with her uncle's books. Yes, under He Zijin's encouragement, Uncle Chen also wrote a book introducing the experience of the Spring Examination. He Zijin also agreed with the book shop that he would buy three books at a 10% discount.
At the same time, she taught many tips for selling books by shopkeeper Ge. Nowadays, bookshops generally sell four treasures of the study. Therefore, book shops are usually elegant and do not shout loudly. He Zijin looked at the gentle appearance of Storekeeper Ge's long gown, probably not a person who could shout, but he did not let him shout, but he did not let him shout, not to say that he would not let him advertise. He Zijin sighed, "The wine is also afraid that the alley is deep." Then, she made a lot of oil cloth and wrote large banners, such as "Tanhua in the world passed on his reading experience!" There are also "How to cultivate your child into Tanhua!" There are also "The secret of not passing on the Jinshi Hall!" There are five or six large-textured advertisements of oil cloth that are tall and high in one room were hung out, and it is difficult to take advantage of the spring wind.
In particular, He Zijin also cleverly divided the books into two types, one is an ordinary reading book and the other is a hardcover reading book. You can choose from it, and you can have any styles.
If an ordinary literati sells books like this, they will definitely feel ashamed. A Nian is worthy of being Chen Su's adopted son and doesn't care about this at all. Chen Su is called "death for money" in the imperial capital. A Nian has a very demeanor and does not feel embarrassed to sell books like this. A Nian has planned that he and Zijin's sister will get married. After they get the money for selling books, they will buy some land outside the suburbs of the imperial capital, and they will have their own property. Otherwise, although he lives in the Yue family, he cannot eat the Yue family for nothing. A man and a real man must be able to support himself and his wife and children to succeed!
A Nian was an ambitious child since childhood. However, the Mei family looked down on the behavior of the He family very much. Mei Yuanwailang also came to persuade A Nian, "Who are you? This is the Tanhualang of the day! How can you use this copper-stenched breath to disturb your innocence?"
A Nianxin said, I know how your life is getting clearer and clearer.
A Nian said patiently, "I have to count my experience in studying. From my hometown to the imperial capital, someone asked me about the key points of studying. Therefore, if I want to write it out, wouldn't it be good if it can be beneficial to one or two students? I don't know how to pickle it up?" A Nian claimed that she was very polite. This Mei Yuanwailang is not young anymore, and her hair is gray, so she looks a little older than Mrs. He. It's just a little bit lighter. It's indeed earlier than A Nian's career, but Mei Yuanwailang has no fame. Such an official will be dismissed if he is a high-ranking official. For example, the sixth-rank official of Mei Yuanwailang is only two levels higher than A Nian. However, in terms of origin, it's ridiculous to be a senior in front of A Nian's current dynasty. A Nian thought about living in neighbors, and Mei Yuanwailang's age, so he left enough face for Mei Yuanwailang.
Mei Yuanwailang was not a person who knew how to advance and retreat. He continued to advise, "Since he wanted to benefit students, how could he go to a shop outside to make a big deal and do business with merchants?"
A Nian didn't understand. If you don't sell it, would you give it for free?
A Nian said, "I was born that my parents died early and were alone. Now I live in Yue's house, so I just want to support myself. What's more, the books are just printed and sold to the book shop."
"Even if you support yourself, you can't lose the moral integrity of others like you and me." Mei Yuanwailang said earnestly and thought that I would be good for you.
A Nian had to patiently listen to his nagging words, thinking that this imperial capital was really a rare crowd. In the past, in his hometown, he was ashamed of not having enough food. He didn't care about any merchants or merchants. Even Awen's brother-in-law's family had several transactions. Why did he feel ashamed of making money in the imperial capital?
A Nian and Chen Su talked about this matter, and Chen Su smiled and said, "Why should you pay attention to him when you wait for a sour life? The family has to spend the betrothal gifts of their daughters, and you should talk about the ethics here? The saints say that the granaries are full and the etiquette is known. What's the use of saying empty words when you are hungry? One day, the little one of the family starves to death!"
The books of He Chen and the other families were not only sold well in Shen Su's book shops in the suburbs, but also in the imperial capital city, and the promotion was even smoother. The merchants were so smart and the spring entrance examination was still there. You can imagine how easy it is to sell the books of Tanhua, Tanhua Grandma and the most famous Chen Hanlin, Chen, were sold.
When Mrs. He saw that her girl was playing the abacus beads when she saw the sky, she smacked her lips and leaned over and asked with concern, "Girl, how? How much did she earn?"
"Just be able to do it." He Zijin waved his goose brush and wrote a number on the account book, and asked, "Grandma, is it time to hold wine at home tomorrow?" A Nian Tianjie praised the official position, and Tanhua's name was confirmed. He Gong, He Luo, the He family, had these three people, so they naturally had to hold wine to celebrate.
Mrs. He waved her hand, "There's no hurry, I've arranged everything. Tell me quickly, how much money did I earn!"
"I printed 5,000 books in total, but I didn't expect it to be big enough to sell them. I printed 5,000 more copies. The money was all over, and the cash was only 200 taels." He Zijin said.
Old lady He widened her eyes, "You have earned 200 taels in just a few days!" I'm a god, my girl movies are really lucky. Don't think that 200 taels are less. In Bishui County, you can buy two yards like the He family's old house in 200 taels. Of course, everything is expensive in the imperial capital, so there are also some books that are more expensive.
"Not much," said He Zijin, "You don't know that the land of the imperial capital is expensive. I thought I thought that if I could make 500 taels, I would find a tooth, and I might buy a shop. At that time, I could also let my third sister, Brother Awen, come with me. How much business can our roast duck shop have in our hometown? However, there is no shop specializing in roast duck business in this capital. If we open this shop, we can make some money. Otherwise, A Nian and my father will be officials in the imperial capital in the future, and the Hanlin salary is limited, so we can't all point to our hometown to bring money. That's how much."
Mrs. He was very moved and said, "Girls can live a life." After thinking, "You said you would give me a share of dividends first. Hey, it's your money tight. You should give me 40 taels. So, you can give you ten taels. When you sell out your books, just give me 30 taels."
He Zijin was so moved that he was so moved ~
In fact, although Mrs. He is a little stingy and a little greedy for money, Mrs. He is actually very principled. At least, she doesn't reach out to He Zijin's money for selling flowers. Of course, half of it was bought for her, but the land deeds were all He Zijin's name. Moreover, over the years, Mrs. He has never reached out to Shen's pickle shop. Mrs. He has the temperament of saying anything. When others hear the grandparents and grandchildren of the He family discussing money in the house, they can be scared to death. But the He family is used to this, and they are clear that they will never ruin their relationship because of money.
Mrs. He found out how much money her girl made in selling books and knew that she would have thirty taels of silver to enter her private house, and she was very happy.
He Zijin actually had some savings in her hands. She sold flowers first, half of the money she bought for He’s hometown, and the other half was collected for her mother. He Zijin also rented a shop in her hometown and gave it to the shop run by Jiang Ren. The income was not much every year, and it was also a silver. She also had A Nian’s private house, and she finally calculated it, not a person without money.
But since you are living in the imperial capital, you can only make a living and live a life of nothing, and live a good life is different.
A Nian's books were sold in full swing. For a moment, Jiang Tanhua's name was a little louder than Duan Zhuangyuan who was smashed by an apple.
The second day was the day when the family was celebrating. After three Jinshis at home, everyone was so happy that the banquet was already scheduled. The He family chose a day of rest. The neighbors and neighbors came, and General Ji and his wife, He Han, Uncle Chen's friend Hao Yushi, and the wife of Xiao Tang. However, the neighbor Mei Yuanwailang did not come. Mei Yuanwailang felt that he had persuaded A Nian to persuade A Nian, but A Nian still wanted to sell books through business and business, and was full of money. He was not a person who could be divorced. So he refused to come over to have a drink. He only made Mrs. Mei Er so angry that Mrs. Mei Er had to come with her children. When she came over to see Mrs. Ji Jiang and Mrs. Tang Tie, she frightened Mrs. Mei Er. These two people, Mrs. Ji Jiang is a serious third-rank gentleman, and Mrs. Xiao Tang is not an imperial decree, but Tie's father is the left censor and a second-rank high-ranking official. Tie and Lord Tie were the matchmakers of the current crown princess... And Lord Tang's father is the current Minister of Revenue.
When she saw the person coming today, Mrs. Mei Er wished she could go back and strangle her husband to death immediately! Something that was inexpensive!
Lord Xiao Tang also followed his wife to meet Mrs. He. As soon as he saw Mrs. He, he bowed and smiled, "Old lady, I have read the book you wrote! Oh my! It's very well written! After reading it, I immediately ordered someone to book fifty sets for my brothers and nephews from other places. From now on, I will teach my son according to the book you wrote! Old lady, you have a great knowledge!"
When Mrs. He heard this, she almost laughed like a peppercorn, and she was pretending to be modest, "You little Tang, be polite! That is, you say whatever you want, and you don't hide any personal feelings!" She thought to herself, Lord Tang is really a great person with both vision and money! Buy her fifty sets of books at once! Oh! Big customers! You need a few more cute people like Lord Tang in the world!
Xiao Tang said, "Study! Really knowledgeable! You are worthy of cultivating the old lady of Tanhualang! You are a role model among the old lady in the Qingliu Realm of our imperial capital!"
"I dare not be the one, I dare not be the one! Compared to the top scorer's grandmother, the second scorer's grandmother, I am far inferior to the second scorer." said He, "I have only cultivated a Tanhua and a Shujishi over the years!"
"Don't say that. If I can cultivate a flower like you, it will be worth it for my life!"
"This matter is not easy for others, but for you, Lord Tang, you are already half-finished!" said Mrs. He, "Looking at how handsome you and your wife are, the child must be good-looking. I heard that this is not only good at writing but also outstanding in appearance. Otherwise, if you look like Zhong Kui, you will have to be the top scorer!"
Lord Xiao Tang laughed.
He Zijin: Our family will be offended by the top scorer, okay?
Lord Xiao Tang and Mrs. He felt a bit like meeting a soulmate in the mountains and rivers, but there are many customers right now, so it is difficult to talk in depth. So Lord Xiao Tang said a few words and went outside to talk to the men. Later, He Zijin realized why Lord Xiao Tang was so good to talk to Mrs. He turned out to be published. Moreover, his literary talent, hey, you will know after reading it.
After her husband went outside, Mrs. Tang finally could say something that normal people should say. She smiled and greeted the wives here, especially said a few more words to He Zijin. Seeing that Mrs. Ji and the He family were quite familiar with each other, Mrs. Tang realized that Mrs. Ji and the He family had met each other in Shu, and it was a fellow villager.
Because Mrs. Little Tang Ji was present, the whole banquet was much higher. Fortunately, the He family was not particular, but they were very particular about food. In addition, there was a secret of the He family - crispy roast duck... Therefore, although Mrs. Little Tang felt that the He family was just a small family, the whole family was real, and even if they were dietary, it was OK.
Not to mention how enthusiastic Mrs. Chen, who is the head of the Ministry of Revenue, and Mrs. Qi, who is from the military official family, are towards Mrs. Xiao Tang and Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Xiao Tang is mainly because her father-in-law, Shangshu Tang, is in charge of Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen naturally flatters her. Mrs. Qi's husband, Deputy General Qi, works in the Imperial Guards, and it has nothing to do with General Ji, but General Ji is already the General of Beijing and is both military generals. Mrs. Qi is naturally willing to make friends with Mrs. Ji.
Therefore, the meal was extremely lively.
Not to mention the men outside, Xiao Tang is a very lively, and Sun Jingshi is also a happy person. Although Song Hanlin is a Hanlin, he is not a pedantic person like Mei Yuanwailang. So everyone even ate a drink for a while. When they were about to say goodbye, the men were a little drunk. Fortunately, the neighbors were all close to each other, so Xiao Tang came by a car, General Ji was drunk and didn't feel anything.
After the guests were all gone, when talking about drinking today, Mrs. He praised Mrs. Xiao Tang and kept saying, "A person like Mrs. Xiao Tang is really worthy of friendship! If you have vision, you will be a good person!"
He Zijin couldn't help but say, "Isn't it just a praising you for your good writing? When can you change your problem of listening to good words?"
"Tsk, who doesn't like to listen to good things?" said Mr. He as a matter of course, "Besides, Lord Xiao Tang is the master's disciple. Can he tell lies?"
Mrs. He was very upset, "I know if that master is so famous, a master who is as famous as Master Xue!" As he said that, Mrs. He suddenly had a big idea and asked his own girl about the movie, "You said, have you read that book for the master?"
He Zijin said:...
In fact, Mrs. He’s words make some sense. Although Mr. Tang’s words are unrestrained, he is a disciple of Jiangbeiling, and he is a Jinshi from the second-ranked list.
Although He Zijin later read the first book "Fu of Love and Friendship" published by Lord Xiao Tang, it was very irritating, but the travel notes and geography books published by Lord Xiao Tang were all very good.
After being reminded by Master Xiao Tang, He Zijin discovered that this time, the famous books were not only the famous Jinke Tanhua A Nian Children's Shoes, who has been very famous in the imperial capital, but also the Niu Er Shen Su and Shen Hanlin in the imperial capital tutoring world. At the same time, the one who made the name of this book sale is not inferior to the two of them.
He Zijin discovered that her grandmother was famous!
Then, even Mrs. Mei, the most sour alley in the alley, would come to ask Mrs. He for his mentality during the imperial examinations. Not to mention that Mrs. He was barely semi-illiterate, she was really experienced in keeping her children and grandchildren exams for so many years. She spoke one by one, and Mrs. He said, "The most important thing is not to let children be afraid of exams. Many people write good articles on weekdays, but they can't do it once they go to the tribute school. The articles are very bad. Why? They are very thoughtful! Actually, think about it, what's there to be afraid of? I often say, you have to keep your eyes open.
If you put your eyes on the scholar, you will definitely be afraid when you see the county magistrate. If you put your eyes on the juren, you will definitely be timid when you see the prefect. If you put your eyes on the spring examination, you will definitely be paralyzed when you see the emperor. This is because your vision is not long-term. You have to let your children think like this. In the future, we will be the high-ranking officials in the court. If you are the high-ranking officials in the court, you will meet the emperor every day. If you think like this, are you still afraid of taking the scholar? Are you still afraid of taking the imperial examination? Are you still afraid of taking the imperial examination? So, whether you are studying or studying for the imperial examination, be devoted to your heart first..."
When He Zijin heard this set of words from Mrs. He, she first felt that her grandmother had learned to use parallelism to express incredible words. Then she analyzed it carefully. Although Mrs. He said it was simple, she also mentioned this "realizing ambition" and "setting ambition".
Even Mrs. Mei Er, who has always claimed to be a scholarly family, loves to visit the He family.
As a true scholarly family, Mrs. Song from the same alley, the same alley, also likes to come over and talk. Because each family has children studying, everyone will discuss how to cultivate the future of children. Mei and Song are both good at raising children, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and are particular and meticulous. But when it comes to experience in the science exam, they really don’t think that my mother has done her own work and has experienced countless setbacks.
Because Mei and Song gave He a lot of inspiration, He discussed with his own girl's film, "I have a lot of things in my heart that I want to write. Girl, do you think I can write another book?"
He Zijin looked at his grandmother in amazement. He said something about it first, "This time we publish a book, we will all share the money, you can't buy it out anymore."
He Zijin:...
Chapter completed!
