When they entered the house, Sister Li Mei first bowed to Li You and wished her long blessings, and then sat behind the guest seat. Then she said to Jin Baoer, "We haven't seen you for a long time, and Miss Bao has become even more outstanding. It seems that she is not with the wrong person. Ah,
Now it’s time to change your mind, it’s the same crime.”
Jin Baoer also smiled and nodded to say hello to Sister Li Mei, and poured tea and water herself, without any unnecessary fluctuations on her face. Li You couldn't help but mutter in his heart, your man's old mistresses have all come to visit, why are there still no responses.
After complimenting Jin Baoer, Sister Li Mei turned back to congratulate Li You and said, "I would also like to congratulate Mr. Li. His reputation has become bigger and bigger these days." Look, this is a confidant. Only Sister Li Mei can tell the truth about Li You's desire for fame and fortune.
Others only care about how many Li Dianshi can defeat in one night.
The host Li You then asked the guest: "What's the purpose of Miss Li's visit?"
This title is really awkward, and Li You has always been used to talking to Sister Li Mei without restraint and teasing. Compared with today's standard guest-host greeting and question-and-answer conversation, he felt even weirder. He originally wanted Sister Li Mei to give Jin Baoer a snack after she came to the door.
After being jealous, I started teasing and teasing, and as a result, I became awkward at first. Why can't I let go at home?
"But there is something troubling. Forgive me for being rude, can you talk to me privately about it?" Sister Li Mei said, glancing at Jin Baoer with the corner of her eye.
Jin Baoer seemed not to hear anything, and stood quietly behind Li You, carefully counting the number of bricks laid on the ground, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth never diminished by half.
Sister Li Mei sighed slightly in her heart. She didn't want to tell her troubles in front of her former colleague Jin Baoer, and then asked Jin Baoer's husband for help. She always felt that she would be looked at as a joke. Although her relationship with this man was once more serious than Jin Baoer's.
close.
Li You waved his hand proudly, "Miss Li has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"
Sister Li Mei turned around as she spoke, thinking to talk about business first, so she changed her words and said: "My family no longer engages in the business of prostitution, but I have to make a living and ask my husband."
Sure enough, you came to ask me for advice after listening to Yuexiang's words, Li You thought proudly, I will casually show you how to make money, and you will share a few percent of my profit for free. It is really a win-win situation. He said: "I have a good business, and I want to do it with you
Total total.”
Sister Li Mei was slightly stunned and said: "I would like to hear the details."
"Isn't Miss Huan addicted to writing lyrics? Her writing is interesting, and her daughter's family likes to read it. You might as well get the books published by the bookstore and sell them, and you should be able to gain something. Well, I can continue to provide some themes for Miss Huan,
So that she can keep writing." Li You pointed out: "Of course, I will share 30% of the profit from selling the book."
Sister Li Mei couldn't help but let out a sigh, covering her mouth and laughing non-stop. To describe it in one word, she was like a trembling flower.
Are Li You's words so ridiculous?
"To tell you the truth, Sir, the Nu family has been doing this for a long time." Sister Li Mei suppressed her smile and said, "The other day, the Master said at my house that women all like to read Huan'er's manuscripts. After hearing this, the Nu family became interested and inquired about the county.
There happened to be one engraving shop that could not make ends meet, so the slave family purchased the plates used to engrave books, and then sold the carved blocks to the bookshop for printing. As for the bookshop mentioned by the gentleman, where could the slave family afford it and how could it operate it? The gentleman was too joking.
Already."
Li You was speechless. This sister Mei did better than what he said, and she even went to teach others...
He could only say angrily: "What's the use of buying a calligraphy shop if you can't make books and sell them? Then you might as well just sell the manuscripts to a bookshop to earn some money to polish your writing." At the same time, I comforted myself in my heart, you are not relying on the classics and history to leak. Make money with trade secrets.
Sister Li Mei said: "After all, the money from selling only manuscripts is a little short, so the Nu family bought an engraving shop specifically to engrave Huan'er's books, and then sold the ready-made plates to bookshops, so that they can make more money. They have been engraving in these ten days I have bought about a hundred copies, and it is estimated that after waiting for more than ten days, the bookstore can print out the first volume and sell it. In less than a month, the slave family can make twenty or thirty taels."
Li Meijie seems to have mastered the four upstream links of writing, engraving, printing, and sales. She has even invented serialization of novels... Li You, who has lost his sense of superiority as a time traveler, feels very bored and uninterested. Lanshan asked: "Then why are you looking for me?"
Sister Li Mei: "I have something to apologize for, sir. I was afraid that the bookseller would not print the book, so I told him that this book was written by you, sir..."
Li You was shocked and shouted: "Who told you to say that!" Such stupid words cannot admit that it has anything to do with him.
Li You is now considered a famous poet who has published collections. In the 21st century, he will be able to join the Writers Association and receive subsidies. If he is related to such a purely female-oriented erotic novel, wouldn't he be laughed at by the literati? Death? Moreover, these words came out of Li Huan himself after being strongly stimulated by life, and they really have nothing to do with his half penny.
Sister Li Mei put on a bitter face and begged: "I'm sorry, the slave family really had no choice at that time. If we didn't pretend to be false, how could the bookstore accept the slave family's book editions? Please forgive me, sir, the slave family is here to apologize." As he spoke, , she twisted her waist and raised her hips and stood up, pretending to kneel down to beg for mercy.
Jin Baoer, who had been listening silently behind Li You, stepped forward in time, stretched out his hand to support Sister Li Mei, and said to Li You: "Master, it's not easy for sisters to make a living, so don't worry about it if you have a lot of them."
Sister Li Mei knew Li You very well, and Li You didn't know Sister Li Mei very well. Li You shook his head and thought, with Sister Mei's temperament, would she kneel down and beg for mercy over such a thing? She knew that Jin Baoer would definitely come up to support her. "Get up, you Just tell me frankly what your purpose is, I know you are definitely not here to apologize."
Sister Li Mei put on another beautiful smile, the kind of fake smile that Li You was very familiar with. "Then we won't have any contact with Mr. Li. The bookstore said that as long as Mr. Li can have a name in the book, You can pay an extra one penny for each plate carved by your family. Please allow me to use your surname when engraving the plate."
This is the ultimate goal of the circle that has been spared for a long time...
"You mean, the author wrote my name?" Li You reacted.
"Oh, I know that your husband is a great talent, but he doesn't want to become famous in this small way. So the author is still Huan'er, and I can just write another one with the guidance of Li You, an elegant official in Xujiang."
"No." Li You refused.
"Sir, don't refuse in a hurry. The extra price after adding your name will be divided into 50% and 50%. Every month, you can go to my house in person and get ten taels of silver for free." Sister Li Mei seduced. The key words are: personally, my house, Take it for free.
A stable income of twelve or three times a month's salary really made Li You a little excited. When he was about to speak, he heard his concubine Jin Baoer behind him suddenly interjected: "With my master's current reputation, he is really not bad at this." For a little money, I have known Sister Li for a long time, so why bother to treat my master like this?"
Li You burst into tears in his heart, "Aunt Jin, your private net worth is in three digits, but I only have this little money for socializing and entertainment... For example, in a few days, the county government clerk's mother will be celebrating her fiftieth birthday."
Sister Li Mei looked at Li You and then at Jin Baoer, then changed her words and said: "Then fifteen taels will be enough."
Jin Baoer stepped back and smiled without saying a word.
Li You burst into tears again. I really am not good at doing business...
After agreeing on the fifteen taels, Sister Li Mei hesitated again and again, but still took her leave, and the host Li You saw the guests off outside the courtyard.
Tonight, Xiaozhu, the maid who was absolutely derelict in her duties, disappeared for a long time without any reason. At this time, she suddenly appeared from nowhere and said to Jin Baoer who stayed in the house: "Sister, why are you still treating that female goblin so harshly?"
?The Master Taijiao looked down upon!"
Jin Baoer pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Xiao Zhu, you don't understand. Our master's temperament is different from the inside to the outside. We are the inside and others are the outside. In the final analysis, they are different. You and I can just do our duty.
, You really don’t have to worry about what outsiders are doing.”
Xiaozhu muttered, "I just don't understand." Then he stood on tiptoes and looked at the courtyard door and said, "It's been a long time, but I haven't finished seeing off the guests yet."
