Liu Yunqing carefully rubbed the table to touch A Niang's hand.

"Mother, I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."

"I dare not. You always say you dare not, but you do it every time, don't you?"

Being scolded like this by his mother, how could Liu Yunqing dare to speak again?

However, when she saw her mother holding her hand and seeing the wound on her fingernail from yesterday's fight, and showing a look of heartache, Liu Yunqing knew that the self-torture trick had worked, and hurriedly said a few nice words to coax her.

Qi softened his heart.

She didn't really want her daughters to never leave the house. Knowing that she had met the wrong people, she didn't raise her daughters to be too well-behaved, so as to avoid them suffering the same mistake in the future.

It is not easy for women to make their way in life. Yunqing is a capable person, and there is no reason for her mother to hold her back.

In the past, all the men's clothes that Liu Yunqing wore were made by her herself. She wanted to hide it from Liu Chenggong and let her daughter go out more and gain more experience. But now she can't just scold her. As a mother, she naturally has to think of ways to make plans for her daughter.

"Never mind. I'm just worried that you'll get drunk and no one will take care of you. Try to come back at night next time."

"If it really doesn't work, wait until we have more money and rent a small house near the Little Sweet Water Alley, so you don't have to run back and forth in the middle of the night. Then buy an honest little slave to follow you, so that someone can tell you whether you are coming back or not, and I can rest assured."

This is also a solution, Liu Yunqing nodded repeatedly.

Not to mention anything else, just take Mr. Zhao's place as an example. After all, she is considered a house cat, so there is no reason for her to stay away from him.

"Speaking of hiring people, I'm not in a hurry, but we need to hire some helpers. Our house is much bigger than before, and we can't ask you to do all the work by yourself."

"You need one in the kitchen, an honest one to be the janitor, and a young one who can sweep, iron and wash, to save you the trouble."

According to the calculations, at least three people would be needed. Qi felt sorry for her daughter and refused.

"Let's talk about it later. Just take care of your own business. Mother will take care of the family."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and when it was almost time, Liu Yunqing went back to her room to change clothes and then went to the bookstore again.

The store is still busy today. Some people who didn't buy enough yesterday came to line up early in the morning.

Xiaoman and his men put on their newly bought clothes. They were all in high spirits and enthusiastic in introducing the services.

Liu Yunqing helped to settle the bills. Many customers said that the waiters were efficient and friendly, and praised the Liu's Bookstore for being completely new and different from before.

There will be many more differences in the future. After the plaques are replaced and the books are repaired, everything will be new and new.

While things were busy in the front, Liu Yunqing faintly heard noises of quarreling and playing outside the door. Fearing that someone was impatient waiting in line, Liu Yunqing asked Yunxi to take her place and went out to take a look.

Upon closer look, she found that one of the people pushing and shoving looked familiar. It was the young man who said he wanted to write an article for her yesterday.

Seeing Liu Yunxi coming, the gentlemen immediately stopped playing around and greeted her properly.

"There are many people here today. Please wait in line in front of the door. It will be your turn in about half an hour. I will treat you to some drinks, okay?"

The gentlemen all shook their heads. The man from yesterday stepped forward, handed over the stack of papers in his hand, and explained hesitantly.

"We are the ones who spoke too loudly and disturbed Madam Liu's business. I wanted to write an article, but I sent it to you today. The writing is rough, so please don't mind it, Madam Liu."

Liu Yunqing was flattered. She really didn't expect that the gentlemen would write to her as soon as they said they would, and they even treated it as a joke. This made her feel embarrassed.

"I am just a businessman. How can I tolerate such behavior from you gentlemen? You just refused. Now that I have accepted the article, I will definitely treat you to tea!"

The gentlemen in front of him were all very shy, fearing that they would feel uncomfortable sitting at the same table just for this matter. Liu Yunqing thought about it and told them that the book bar would be open soon.

There will be no need for a minimum consumption at that time. She will invite a few gentlemen to the book bar to discuss academic matters, drink tea and write calligraphy. I think it will be much more comfortable.

Upon hearing this, the gentlemen stopped being polite to Madam Liu and agreed one after another.

After talking for a long time, Liu Yunqing still didn't know how to address them, and the one from yesterday spoke first.

Liu Yunqing remembered Qin Xin's name, and she also remembered the names of the others.

When the store was idle, she found a quiet place to read several articles carefully. Regardless of the content, the handwriting was beautiful in its own way.

Looking at the content more closely, all these free good words were attributed to her, and Liu Yunqing herself felt embarrassed to read it.

He just told Yunxi to put it away and take it home, so that no one would see it in the store and make a fool of themselves.

"Sister, are you so shameless? Let me tell you, all the gentlemen are talented writers, and it would be ugly if they kept their works hidden. If you can publish a piece of writing, you will become famous, and the gentleman who wrote it will also become famous!"

I don’t know what Yunxi said that woke up Liu Yunqing. She clapped her hands suddenly and stood up with a look of surprise on her face.

"Yunxi, you are such a genius!"

Sima Qian's writings achieved three immortalities: virtue, merit, and words.

Simply put, establishing virtue means creating rules and helping the people, establishing merit means saving people from danger and difficulties and making contributions to the times, and establishing words means speaking the truth and spreading it to the world.

Except for a few people who read only for self-improvement, these three immortalities almost encompass the ideals of all the literati in the world.

Who doesn't want to make a name for himself when studying? Who doesn't have the ambition to benefit the world after studying so many years?

Whether for the people or for fame or profit, the passion of the literati is fully reflected in the poems and articles they wrote.

Thanks to Yunxi's words, she suddenly thought of a marketing plan that could not only make the talented people famous, but also benefit the bookstore.

Liu Yunqing was so excited that he wished he could capture Qin Xin and the other men right now to promote him.

Yunxi has long been accustomed to her sister's startled look.

She smiled without saying anything, nor did she ask any questions. She just prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone for her sister so that she could write down what she was thinking.

Liu Yunqing wrote seven or eight pieces of small characters in one breath. Xiaoman passed by and took a look. The tiny characters made him dizzy, so he quickly covered his eyes and walked away.

Liu Yunqing blew the ink dry and looked at it happily.

This is the first Qingxi Bookstore and Imperial College Inspirational Quotes Competition in Bianjing.

If you want to become famous, the scene must be grand, and both the bookstore and the Imperial Academy cannot be tainted by the smell of money, so you have to have a legitimate teacher.

In the past, the imperial examination was held once a year, but there were too many officials and there have been no examinations in the past two years. In the first month of the year, the news came down that the spring examination would be scheduled for the following year. In other words, these students only have a few months to take part in this year's provincial examination.

No wonder the Dong family was so eager to find a good academy for Dong Dalang that they even rented out their ancestral home and moved the whole family there.

The theme of this competition is inspirational. On the one hand, it fits the current situation. On the other hand, she does not charge a penny for the joint Imperial College. She just regards it as a good deed and gives students a chance to become famous.
