Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

"Since you are so generous, I can't be stingy. I have something to ask you, Shopkeeper Liu, to come out and give me some advice. We'll split the money 50-50!"

How could Liu Yunqing agree to it out of hand? Zhao Chengyan's business was worth tens of thousands of taels, and if he split the money 50-50 with her, she would not feel at ease taking the money.

"Ayan, don't scare me. 50-50 is too scary. With our relationship, why should I charge you for giving me advice? Just ask."

"Since we are friends, I can't let you work in vain. I don't know if you are free this afternoon. If you can, I will take you to have a look first, and then we can talk about other things."

Liu Yunqing agreed immediately and called Yuping, who was having dinner with Maoer, and asked her to go back to the bookshop after dinner. She asked Xiaoman to take care of the sales of incense paper, and she would not go to the bookshop in the afternoon.

Thinking that he could spend more time with Liu Yunqing, Mr. Zhao felt very happy. He frequently picked up food for Liu Yunqing and even made hawthorn tea for her after the meal.

Liu Yunqing ate so much today that she felt sleepy. The bamboo house was not big, and there was only one room upstairs for rest. Zhao Chengyan asked her to go upstairs to rest, while he just sat downstairs to digest the food.

Liu Yunqing didn't bother to be polite with him. She was used to sleeping in Zhao Chengyan's bed. Smelling the faint fragrance on the quilt, Liu Yunqing fell asleep with her clothes on. After a while, she fell asleep without noticing when there was someone beside her.

Zhao Chengyan smiled at the person sleeping sprawled on the bed and gently pulled the quilt to cover her. The bamboo building was cool and ventilated, where he would occasionally come to cool off and drink tea in the summer. It was still cold now, and it would be bad if she caught a cold.

Thinking back to the time when the drunk little girl tormented him, he knew that she would not be quiet once she lay down, which made him worry and unable to let go.

Zhao Chengyan stood by silently, and when he saw that it was almost time, he quietly went downstairs to peel a fresh pear and cut it into small pieces for the people to eat when they got up.

Liu Yunqing woke up after sleeping for an hour and a half. She borrowed the jade comb from Mr. Zhao and combed her hair again. Mao'er also considerately brought her warm water for her to wash.

After going downstairs, he immediately ate the pears cut by Mr. Zhao. The master and servant kept circling around Liu Yunqing.

But Liu Yunqing didn't think there was anything wrong at the moment. After all, when she was the wife of the family, the master and servant treated her even better than they do now.

The talented scholars outside had already dispersed, and went out in groups of three or four to go boating and enjoy the flowers. Only Zhang Youzheng and a tall and heroic man were sitting in the stone pavilion, sipping tea.

Several people greeted each other. Liu Yunqing had seen Zhong Gu at Mr. Zhao's house, but now he accidentally called him General Zhong, which was surprising.

"This is the first time I've met Madam Liu. How did Madam Liu recognize me?"

Liu Yunqing's hair tensed up, not knowing that she was on the verge of being exposed again. Fortunately, she reacted very quickly and smiled.

"I have indeed never met General Zhong. I just heard a while ago that General Zhong came to Bianjing and the first thing he did was to avenge his sister in the street. Now that I see General Zhong, I can see that he is a martial artist and is familiar with you and Mr. Zhang. It is not difficult to guess your identity."

Zhong Gu laughed out loud: "Madam Liu is amazing! No wonder she is able to do such good business!"

"Just now, Youzheng showed me the scented paper from your bookstore. Not to mention scholars like them, even someone as rough as me can't help but want to buy some to use when writing posts!"

I didn't expect that I could do business with someone like the general, so Liu Yunqing went with the flow.

"I am under the care of the master, and you two are his friends. How can I ask you to spend money?"

"We just had someone transport the incense paper out of the paper mill this afternoon, and it will be officially on sale tomorrow. When the time comes, our store will have a dedicated clerk to deliver the incense paper to your homes. If you are not satisfied with either, our bookshop can also make private orders."

"This unique incense paper is worthy of you, my lord, and the two gentlemen."

"In this case, I am taking advantage of Ah Yan!"

Zhang Youzheng smiled and said to Liu Yunqing, "We appreciate Madam Liu's kindness, but please don't be polite with us. Just give us the right amount. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to bring my classmates to your bookstore to buy things in the future."

"I don't think that bookshop makes much money. People are allowed to sit anywhere in the main hall and copy books at will. They only charge about ten cents for each book, and they even hire two young ladies to clean and serve tea."

"Even I like to go over with my classmates after school to read for an hour. I know that Madam Liu has good intentions, but business also needs to make money."

If Zhang Youzheng didn't consider Liu Yunqing as his own, he really wouldn't have said this.

How could Liu Yunqing not know that Mr. Zhang was kind-hearted? He smiled at him and blinked his eyes cunningly.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhang, but you don't do business, so you don't know how much money you can make here!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that you are so generous, Mr. Zhang. You always order a cup of divine tea from Chunhe Tea House in the book bar. I will make 200 coins from you for just one cup!"

"Not to mention that my dear husband often writes articles and poems when he is in high spirits. I can earn a lot from his writing, ink, paper and inkstone. You always bring your classmates with you. My steward Xiaoman likes you as much as he likes you when he sees a gold ingot!"

Upon hearing what Liu Yunqing said, the three of them couldn't help laughing.

In fact, the little money Zhang Youzheng spent at the book bar was really not worth mentioning.

But Liu Yunqing counted with him on his fingers, earning two hundred coins here and three or five coins there. Although he looked like a little money-grubber, he was very frank and cute, and did not make people dislike him at all.

"Okay, okay! I'm relieved now! Next time I go to Madam Liu's bookstore, I'll bring someone with me. Madam Liu should give me some money so that I can make some money!"

Yaqian means commission. Zhang Youzheng was joking with her, and Liu Yunqing also responded with a smile.

Zhao Chengyan fanned the flames: "Next time we go, Yunqing, don't ask him to sit in the main hall for free, and give him a side room. If you don't want to earn money, three or five cents is nothing!"

Zhang Youzheng refused to give in: "Then I'll have to take you with me every time. We have to eat at the rich restaurants!"

After chatting and playing for a while, Zhang Youzheng and Zhong Gu knew that the two had something else to do in a while, so they said goodbye without disturbing them and went boating together.

Sitting on the small boat and watching Zhao Chengyan and Liu Yunqing gradually go away, Zhong Gu couldn't help but sigh with Zhang Youzheng.

"No wonder Ah Yanxin stayed outside. If I had a young lady like this by my side, I wouldn't want to go home and face a bunch of young boys!"

"No."

Zhang Youzheng echoed: "Mrs. Liu is sincere and kind-hearted. She treats people well without any ulterior motives. Ah Yan is very happy to be with her."

"But they still have a long way to go, and there will probably be many setbacks. All we can do is support them."
