"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Mr. Xiaohua, when have you ever been to Yichun Courtyard and not shared it with everyone?"
With a bad smile on his face, Bai Song held up a piece of paper and passed it in front of everyone.
This was truly shocking. There were screams of shock in the small shop, and the girls around them swarmed in, curiously staring at the unexpected name card.
Dongfang Bai's face was flushed, and he was a little confused when he went there: "This Yichun Courtyard...could it be the Yichun Courtyard on Weihe Flower Street? Then this Qing'er...could it be the girl from the Flower House?"
"Oh!" a little maid shouted, "Haven't you heard, madam? I jumped into the river in Huajie a few days ago and I can't be in love!"
"Why can't I love Qing?"
"This girl Qing'er is a well-known Qinghuan in Ji County. She is particularly good at singing. I tasted a song called "Bu Luo Qing" and heard that it has the reputation of having a heavenly sound. There was a young man from other places who fell in love with Yichun Courtyard.
I spent all my money on Miss Qing'er, just to see her true face. The result was just unrequited love. I dated Miss Qing'er for half a month, and I didn't even meet her face. With all hope, in Wei
He shouted "No love, no sunshine" by the river, and then he jumped into the river and died without even fishing out the bones. The first part of "No love, no sunshine" refers to the song sung by Miss Qing'er, and the second one
It refers to the word 'Qing' in Miss Qing'er, which means that I will never know who the girl Qing'er is thinking about until her death."
Bai Song was shocked: "This girl Qing'er actually has such a great reputation."
"No!" the little maid continued, "Even now, no one has seen Miss Qing'er's true face. She just sings songs every day in Yichun Courtyard, and there are countless young masters who listen to Miss Qing'er singing every day.
, I heard that someone offered me a thousand taels of silver just to meet Miss Qing'er, but they ignored me! Mr. Bai, this post can't be fake, right? Miss Qing'er is quite famous in Jixian County, how could it be possible?
Personally write a name note to...to Wang Xiaohua?"
Wang Xiaohua's face turned red. She grabbed the name card and looked at it anxiously: "What nonsense are you talking about? The name card didn't even mention that you wanted to see me."
Wang Xiaohua pretended to watch, but she didn't know that she couldn't read at all.
Bai Song smiled and recited: "Changsi Huajun meets Huayin. If this Huajun doesn't refer to you, Mr. Xiaohua, who else can he refer to?"
Bai Rou squeezed forward, stared at Wang Xiaohua, and said unkindly: "Wang Xiaohua, when did you go to Hualou?! Why didn't I know?"
"I...Sister Xiaobai, I...I've never been there. I don't even know who this Qing'er girl is."
"You haven't been there?" Bai Rou flashed her eyes suspiciously, "Now that everyone's invitations have come, I think your heart has flown to Miss Qing'er's arms, right?"
"I...I..."
"What are you talking about? Just give me an accurate answer. If this post comes, will it go or not?"
"I...I won't go..." Wang Xiaohua felt terribly wronged, like a little daughter-in-law.
The two little brats talked for a long time.
Just as Bai Rou's expression softened, Bai Song interjected: "Who can say not to go? I've already accepted this call, so why not? With Miss Qing'er being so famous, she naturally wants to go and see her.
"
Hearing Bai Song's words, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.
There were girls all around, and they all frowned upon hearing this.
Bai Rou gently tugged on her brother's clothes, not as fiercely as before towards Wang Xiaohua, but with a blushing face and a little shy: "Brother, don't go to a place like that..."
Sangsang was also quite surprised. She lowered her head and pouted her little mouth. Although she didn't say anything, her face was full of displeasure.
Even Dongfang Bai looked a little angry at Bai Song, with a bit of disappointment in his eyes.
There were only a few little maids who didn't mind the trouble, covering their mouths and snickering in the background.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Xiaohua quickly handed the name card to Bai Song: "Brother Bai, I won't go. I leave it to you."
"You are invited, not me. Even if I want to go, I will go with you."
"If we open a restaurant properly, what does it have to do with those girls from the romantic market?" Dongfang Bai complained.
"You don't understand, this matter can make Xiaohua's reputation in Jixian County even higher. Today, I just didn't have to give a lecture to the King of Shu, but there was a girl from Hualou holding a name card to invite me. It can be seen that Xiaohua is now in the limelight.
. But you have to think about it, after this period of time has passed and Xiaohua has become famous, how will we make money in the future? Miss Dongfang, you also said it, charging some tea fees for teaching books is simply not enough. Rewards like today are not enough.
There are meetings every day. Telling books is just one of them. If you can make your jokes popular, that's the real way to make money."
"Young master Bai, do you mean to let Xiaohua take advantage of the Hualou girl's fame?"
Bai Song nodded: "This is called group CP, speculation about scandals. I went to Miss Qing'er's room tonight, and tomorrow there will be countless gossip news circulating in the market, and Xiaohua's reputation will rise. This is a win-win situation, of course.
Gotta go."
Hearing what Bai Song said, the girls around him probably understood Bai Song's intentions.
It's all about making money, which makes sense.
It's just that the girls in this room felt strange in their hearts when they saw two men going to visit the flower house.
Wang Xiaohua was young and didn't know what she was thinking. She was still very shy and kept asking if she must go.
However, before the few people could reach an agreement in the store, several little girls came one after another, all of whom came to deliver famous cards.
Almost all the famous girls in the flower houses on Flower Street sent Wang Xiaohua famous invitations, all of them asking Wang Xiaohua to go to the date tonight.
Looking at the pile of famous invitations on the table, Bai Song felt a little regretful. He had known better than to talk about the Three Kingdoms by himself. Looking at the pile of famous invitations, wouldn't it feel like choosing a concubine for the harem?
Time passed little by little.
The shop has been tidied up.
There were two full boxes of copper coins, and I didn’t even count how many there were.
It's just a hundred and twenty taels of broken silver.
A wave of rewards at noon today finally gave people a taste of the sweetness of making money.
There was another lecture in the evening. After Wang Xiaohua finished the second lecture, she and Bai Song hurriedly dressed up and prepared to go to Yichun Hospital for their appointment.
Now that Wang Xiaohua has become a celebrity, Bai Song calls himself his agent, so naturally he will not lose his style.
First they found a carriage and waited for Wang Xiaohua to change clothes inside, while an Oriental girl dressed him up in person.
The sky is getting darker and it seems to be raining.
Bai Song quickly went to the garden and took out two umbrellas in case of emergency.
After getting ready, I went to the alley in the backyard and saw another carriage approaching at the entrance of the alley.
From a distance, the driver looked like he was from Lin Mansion in Mang County.
Bai Song hurriedly greeted him.
As soon as the carriage came to a stop, the dark clouds overhead had already broken through, and the heavy rain was about to begin.
But in this season when the spring rains are as soft as crisps, the rainy days are far milder than those in the middle of winter.
Bai Song knew that the carriage contained the books he had been waiting for for a long time, so he hurriedly called Bai Rou and Sang Sang to come out and move the goods.
Drizzle is gentle to people, but not so friendly to books.
These books are very expensive. The cost of printing books with Lin Xuan is quite high. Bai Song is not cruel, so the price is not too expensive.
The volume increased from 100 to 300 copies. Sales exploded and demand exceeded supply.
If it gets wet in the rain, the damage will be great.
The two girls ran outside holding umbrellas and were about to move books from the carriage. The curtain was opened by someone inside, and Xiang'er walked out of the carriage without any warning.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Xiang'er..."
Bai Song was a little overwhelmed by the sudden meeting.
Xiang'er stood in front of Bai Song, with the tips of her hair wet from the drizzle, but holding a stack of books in her arms, and said softly: "When I came out of Mang County, I felt that the weather was not good. I was afraid it would rain on the road, and I was afraid that my husband would be rash, so
I'll give you a warning when you come with the car, be careful against rain."
"Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've become thinner."
Bai Rou has a lot of affection for her sister-in-law. This sister-in-law is the only one in the Lin family who does not hold a grudge against her.
I hadn't seen him for half a year, but when I suddenly saw him, the little girl's eyes turned red.
Xiang'er smiled, holding the book in her arms, not moving easily, and took another look at the dumbfounded man in front of her.
"Brother Bai, why are you standing there stunned?" Sangsang gently pulled Bai Song's corner.
As soon as Bai Song came to his senses, he hurried up to greet Xiang'er, gave the umbrella to Xiang'er, and took the book in Xiang'er's arms with his own hands.
"Be careful. This manuscript was rushed. The ink has not dried completely and cannot contain any moisture."
Bai Song nodded in agreement, changed his high-spirited look before, and somewhat stupidly blocked the rain with his body, and ran into the yard with the book in his arms.
It took a while for several people to move books back and forth. Everyone was careful, and the new batch of nearly two thousand books was not damaged at all.
Bai Song finished moving the last few books and when he went to the backyard, he found that Xiang'er had returned to the carriage.
Outside the car, the Oriental girl talked enthusiastically to the Xiang'er girl inside.
"I didn't expect Mrs. Bai to be such a beautiful and refined woman. No wonder Mr. Bai misses her day and night. After seeing her today, even women will fall in love with her."
"Sister Bai laughed at her, and my husband also mentioned it many times, saying that Sister Bai is a rare businessman."
"Sister-in-law, do you really want to leave? My brother is very busy here and there is no one to take care of him at home. How about sister-in-law, please stay and don't go back."
Bai Rou squeezed in between the two of them and looked at her sister-in-law in the car with some reluctance.
Xiang'er hesitated to speak, her eyes were a little lonely, she glanced at Bai Song not far away, and squeezed out a smile: "Sister, my sister-in-law is helping your brother to print books in Mang County. After this busy period,
Let’s talk about it later.”
"Xiang'er, it's enough for your family to guard the printing of books at the paper factory. Otherwise, just stay..."
Bai Song shouted from a distance and looked away with some reluctance.
Xiang'er's eyes flashed in the car, and no one could guess her thoughts.
Asking herself if she had forgiven this man, she actually already had the answer.
Already forgiven.
But if she were to accept her husband willingly, she would still be longing for another woman day and night.
This heart is always unwilling.
As for whether to stay?
In fact, it doesn't matter anymore. It just depends on my husband's wishes. If my husband wants to stay, he can stay. If he doesn't, he can leave.
Hearing this shout, Xiang'er's heart moved a little. She knew that her husband still wanted her to stay.
Xiang'er hesitated to nod, but Wang Xiaohua called from the car behind: "Brother Bai, it's getting late. I'm afraid Miss Qing'er from Yichun Court can't wait any longer."
