My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Of course, the one who came was the old scholar from the Taohua Division in the department!

Bai Shaoqiu hurriedly walked out of the study to greet him.

"Haha, brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look more energetic!"

"Well, he's just so-so in terms of spirit, but he's old now, I can't deny it!"

"Brother, I heard that you were assassinated. I was planning to go to the Princess's Mansion to see you, but after thinking it over, I gave up the idea."

"As you said, a scholar is good for nothing."

"Brother, I don't know any medical skills, so I'd be lost if I went. But I figured I had to do something for you, so I went to the three major academies in Xiling City..."

"The deans of the three academies were able to give me some face, so I asked them and the students of the three academies to provide some manuscripts for your bookstore..."

Bai Shaoqiu was stunned when he heard this.

If Mr. Si did this, wouldn't the whole city know that the Sanwei Bookstore was opened by him?

"When the teachers and students heard you were going to open a bookstore, they were very enthusiastic. I heard from Jiuye that some of them had written some manuscripts recently. But you were recovering from your injuries, and I didn't know where your bookstore would be or when it would open, so it was delayed again."

"Now that I've recovered, I finally know where your bookstore is. Okay, okay... After I get back, I'll write another letter to all my former students and friends. In the future, if they have good manuscripts, please send them directly to this place..."

"What's the name of your bookstore?"

Uncle Fu and Manager Wen also came out at this time.

When they heard this, their old faces suddenly broke into smiles.

The young master indeed has a close relationship with Mr. Si!

With the help of Mr. Si, this bookstore will never be short of manuscripts in the future.

After all, there is an old scholar named Fang in Kyoto, and he will probably care about the young master's matter.

Bai Shaoqiu and the other two welcomed Mr. Si into the study and sat down again. Bai Shaoqiu also brewed another pot of tea and casually drove Dongfang Meng out.

It’s not that he was afraid that Dongfang Meng would find out that he opened a bookstore.

It was obviously impossible to hide this matter from the palace.

But this is a different time now. Even if the palace knew about it now, it wouldn't matter. The prince and princess probably wouldn't look down on the few taels of silver earned by this bookstore.

"Originally, I should have gone to Zhuxi to visit you, brother. I really have too much to do, so I had to trouble you to go."

"This bookstore is called Sanwei Bookstore. I invited you here because, besides wanting your preface to The Story of the Stone, I have another little thought!"

Mr. Si grinned and said, "Of course I brought the preface to The Story of the Stone. Tell me what you think."

"Hehe, brother is the calligraphy master of Xingguo. I just want to ask you to write a name for my bookstore and this courtyard as well."

The old scholar Si waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter. Are you going to ask about it now?"

"No rush, the food from Qianweilou will be delivered soon. Let's have a nice drink and talk about it this afternoon!"

"Row!"

……

……

A bookstore has opened in Liujiaojing Alley!

The name of the bookstore is Sanwei Bookstore!

I heard that the four big characters "Sanwei Shuwu" on the plaque were written by Mr. Si, a great scholar from Zhuxi!

I also heard that the real owner behind Sanwei Bookstore is Bai Shaoqiu, the son-in-law of the royal palace...

When this news suddenly spread in Xiling City five days later, it was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, which immediately made Xiling City boil again.

The neighbors of Xiling City were once again stunned—

This son-in-law is a little too proud!

Although he won the championship of this year's Zhuxi Literary Association, opening a bookstore is not an easy task!

Of course, his poetry is extremely good.

But it’s impossible for a bookstore to only sell his own poems!

Ever since Bai's Bookstore was sold to Chang's, there is only Chang's Bookstore in Xiling City.

I heard that there is the shadow of Kyoto Longxing Bookstore behind Chang's Bookstore. Will Chang Fugui, the owner of Chang's Bookstore, let his Sanwei Bookstore grow bigger under his nose?

It’s hard to say!

I heard from the teachers and students in the academy that Mr. Si, the great scholar, has been working hard for Bai Shaoqiu's bookstore.

The teachers and students of the three major colleges in Xiling City have all received invitations from Mr. Si, hoping that they can contribute articles to Sanwei Bookstore.

Mr. Fang has returned to Kyoto, and I believe he will also help Bai Shaoqiu cheer in Kyoto.

But don’t underestimate the appeal of these great scholars, they have students all over the world!

In this era, inheritance is particularly important.

The teachers have issued a call, and their disciples must respond no matter what.

Therefore, Sanwei Bookstore probably will not have any major problems with the source of the manuscripts.

On the other hand, this son-in-law seems to be even more favored by the prince and princess since he was assassinated last time.

He actually lived in the Princess's Mansion. From the servants who came out to do shopping, they said... his status in the Princess's Mansion was extremely high!

He is not a son-in-law at all!

Princess Changying hasn't returned yet, but he is already the master of the Princess's Mansion!

This is naturally because he has the support of the prince and princess behind him.

Look, it was said that Zhou Quan, the once arrogant butler of the princess's mansion, was also driven out by the son-in-law.

Being able to become the chief steward of the Princess's Mansion must mean he has some ability, but all the wealthy families in Xiling City dare not employ him——

The son-in-law changed his cowardly nature and even dared to beat the young master of the City Guard's Mansion. After that beating, the young master of the City Guard's Mansion never showed up again!

I heard that he has left Xiling City.

This is because she is afraid of being beaten by the son-in-law again.

That son-in-law is a vengeful person, like a mad dog. Who dares to provoke him?

Who would dare to use Zhou Quan, who was driven out of the house by him?

So does Chang Fugui dare to touch Sanwei Bookstore?

The neighbors in Xiling City discussed this matter a lot, and came to the conclusion that... they definitely wouldn't dare!

Then, this Sanwei Bookstore may become bigger.

Then, Chang's Bookstore might be ruined by this son-in-law!

Changfu.

study.

Chang Fugui frowned and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back for an unknown number of steps.

Chang Huan stood aside with a gloomy expression, watching his father walking around, and finally couldn't help but say:

"Dad, are we just going to let Bai Shaoqiu build Sanwei Book House?"

Chang Fugui stopped and looked out the window at the flowers blooming in the yard in early summer. He pondered for three breaths:

"Looks like I have to go to Kyoto."

"In Xiling City... no one can afford to offend the Zhenxi Palace."

"Then you can't afford to offend Bai Shaoqiu!"

"Don't forget that two people died in the mansion that night... Especially Chen Qian's death, which had a huge impact on our Chang's Bookstore."

"Half of the people who contributed manuscripts to Chang's Bookstore were brought in by Chen Qian from the former Bai's Bookstore. Now that he's dead... Although those literary figures are now recognized, over half of the manuscripts they provided to Chang's have been lost in the past month or so!"

"It seems the influence of those two old fellas, Sili Taohua and Fang Tingzhao, has taken effect... Of course, those scholars are probably just waiting and watching."

"But there's no need to worry too much. Chang's Bookstore has Master Du's long chapter novels provided by Longxing Bookstore. Even if his Sanwei Bookstore is successful, it will only be a collection of poems, short essays, and so on."

"Huan'er,"

"The child is here!"

"Get ready and go to Kyoto to visit Aunt Rong San..."

"Sit down, Dad will tell you in detail,"

Before the father and son had time to sit down, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler hurried into the study.

"Master, something terrible is happening!"
