After crossing, I spoil my husband

Chapter 124 [124] Please shopkeeper

Fu Mingyou has designed the design drawings of the suburbs of Beijing in the study. Since it is going to be developed, of course it has to be developed.Now His Majesty also agreed with Mu Shangshu and their ink pricing, so when he went to the palace to take up his duties the next day, he was directly called by Mu Shangshu and Cen Shangshu.

"Xiao Fu, come here." Mu Shangshu smiled at the other party, and then said: "We have discussed with His Majesty before, and we will follow the price you set before."

Cen Shangshu also smiled.Said: "But this place for sale, do you have any plans?"

After all, if you have paper and books, you must have a shop.

When Fu Mingyou heard this, he couldn't help smiling: "You two adults don't have to worry, there is just another shop that His Majesty gave me before, and it happens to be in a place with a lot of traffic in the capital, and it's empty anyway. It’s better to just use it to open a shop.”

Only now did Mu Shangshu remember that His Majesty had rewarded Fu Mingyou with some shops before, but the other party didn't use them much. It was indeed a good thing to bring them to the shops, but it was considered that they took advantage of Fu Mingyou.

But Fu Mingyou doesn't care about these, anyway, he doesn't have anything to do recently to open a shop.

"Doesn't using your shop take advantage of you?" Cen Shangshu objected a little, he also knew that the other party had a shop, and the location was very good.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, my shop is empty, and it is empty to sell these things, which can be regarded as benefiting the people."

He didn't care about the little money, anyway, he wasn't short of money, so instead of leaving the shop empty, he might as well sell things to increase his popularity.

Now that Fu Mingyou said so, the two adults did not refuse any more.

The time to do now is to wait for the workshop to produce paper and books, and then wait until the quantity is exhausted before they can start selling.

Therefore, the shopkeeper of this bookstore must be selected well, one must be upright and not afraid of power and authority.

After Fu Mingyou finished talking with the two adults, he went to find Craftsman Zhou and the others directly. He had to tell the craftsmen and others that the workshop could hurry up and produce those papers and books. These books can now not only print children's books, Some bibliographies of imperial examinations can also be printed, so these things can be sold.Without Fu Mingyou, everyone would not know that this thing needs to be printed.Because the printed things can be taken out and bought, everyone is very happy when they know about it.One after another stepped up printing.

There is a certain period from printing to selling. After all, things cannot come out all at once, so Fu Mingyou has to plan for a while, and then directly ask someone to clean and tidy up the interior of the store.

Since it was going to be the structure of a bookstore, there had to be bookshelves inside, and the bookshelves had to be built by a carpenter, so Fu Mingyou also went to a carpenter to help build the bookshelves.

Fu Mingyou planned to build a bookstore in the modern way of a bookstore, because the bookstore like that is not only very beautiful, but also gives people a noble, elegant and quiet feeling, so he handed over the design drawing directly to Mr. Li, Mr. Li and the others have also done manual work before, so there is no problem at all in this regard.

As the saying goes, fat and water don’t flow into outsiders’ fields. Although this store is for selling things to the public, he can still make decisions about this small matter, so he asked Uncle Li and the others to help sell the goods in the bookstore. Get something done.

Now that the cement road has not started to be paved, Uncle Li and the others have nothing to do. The glass workshop is too tiring, so he doesn't let everyone pass, so he occasionally finds some odd jobs for the other party, which can be regarded as a lot of income, anyway. It is much stronger than in Lijia Village.

In addition, my cousins ​​are all in the workshop, and after the beginning of spring, Uncle Li and the others can go to see the cement, which is also a good income.

After handing over the layout of the bookstore to the people of the Li family, what Fu Mingyou has to consider now is the shopkeeper and the staff.

The buddy can let people from the Li family come, but the shopkeeper can't. After all, the people from the Li family have never been brought in the capital before, and they will still be a little afraid of facing the powerful. The person he is looking for now must be able to fear the power , not afraid of the powerful, of course, he will not let the other party be tough, he will definitely tell the other party about his background.

After all, just throwing a brick at the emperor's feet might hit a seventh-rank official.

However, Fu Mingyou really didn't have any clue about this. He was not an expert in this field, so he simply went to find Mu Xingzhou. The other party has been in the capital for so many years, and he definitely has some connections. Find a dispenser that meets his requirements.

Fu Mingyou didn't think much about it, so he went directly to Mu Xingzhou. He has been really busy these days. After this matter is over, he must spend time with his family and children.

Mu Xingzhou was a little surprised when he found out about Fu Mingyou's visit, but he soon understood.

He thought for a while, and said directly: "There is one candidate, but he has a bad temper."

That person had also been a shopkeeper before, but because of one thing, he hated the rich and powerful very much, so he might not be willing to be the shopkeeper for Fu Mingyou.

"Why not?" Fu Mingyou was a little surprised, looking at the other party and asked.

Sometimes, there are many kinds of bad things that are not good.

Mu Xingzhou smiled, and then explained to the other party that because of his daughter, that person hated the powerful people very much. Although the powerful person who killed his daughter was beheaded back then, there was still nothing he could do about it. Let the other person relax.

Hearing Mu Xingzhou's words, Fu Mingyou knew it in his heart. He could understand that this man, as a father, would be very painful if he couldn't even protect his own children.

Mu Xingzhou looked at the other party, smiled, and said, "Mingyou, what are your plans?"

I don't know if the other party continues to want to invite that person as the shopkeeper of the other party, or will they find someone else?

Fu Mingyou smiled, he understood what the other party meant, on the contrary, he thought the other party was quite nice: "I think it's ok, Xing Zhou, do you know where the other party is? I'll go invite him personally."

Since you want to invite the other party to be the shopkeeper, of course you have to be sincere, and Fu Mingyou also has an idea in mind.

After Mu Xingzhou learned of Fu Mingyou's decision, not only was he not surprised, but he expected it to be in line with Fu Mingyou's character.

After Mu Xingzhou told the other party the address, Fu Mingyou did not go directly there, but made some preparations.

He first went to check about the future steward, and he didn't pay a visit until he had a chance to convince the other party.

The uncle, surnamed Qian, has been living in a house in the suburbs of Beijing, and rarely interacts with others on weekdays. Since his daughter passed away, he has lived with his wife and son in the suburbs of Beijing, and rarely interacts with others on weekdays. dealing with others.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you looking for?"

When Fu Mingyou knocked on the door, it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who opened the door.

Fu Mingyou smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Hello, I want to find Uncle Qian Weicai."

The boy paused for a moment, then said, "Father, someone is looking for you."

Qian Weicai came out from inside, glanced at Fu Mingyou, and said, "I am Qian Weicai, I wonder what's up with this young master?"

In his impression, he didn't know such a noble son.

Fu Mingyou cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Qian, my surname is Fu, I need to ask Uncle Qian for something, can I go in and talk to you?"

After all, there are many people outside the door, so it's hard to talk about it.

Qian Weicai glanced at Fu Mingyou and said, "Come in."

Fu Mingyou smiled at the young man beside him, and walked in directly.

Madam Qian poured a glass of water for Fu Mingyou, and then sat down obediently. Although the young master came to find her husband, she also wanted to know what it was.

Fu Mingyou drank two sips of tea, smiled, and said, "Uncle Qian, I came to see you today mainly because I have a request that I hope you can agree to."

"Since it's a request, there's no need to say it."

Qian Weicai looked at the other party and said directly.

After hearing this, Fu Mingyou was not angry, but smiled: "Uncle, you might as well listen to my request before making a decision."

Qian Weicai had a slightly sullen face, and Mrs. Qian at the side smiled gently, and said, "I don't know what's the matter with this young master?"

She was a little curious, where did this young master know about his family, and where did he know about Qian Weicai.

Fu Mingyou smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, auntie. I am here today mainly because I want to invite uncle to be the shopkeeper. I am going to open a shop next to sell cheap pens, inks, papers and inkstones for poor children all over the world. So I need a person who is not afraid of the powerful, of course, there is confidence in not being afraid of the powerful, the people behind me are definitely more noble than all the nobles."

"I'm sorry, my son, this matter can't be done."

Mrs. Qian knew her husband's character. Since the previous incident, their family didn't like powerful people, and they stayed as far away as they could.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and said, "Auntie, don't rush to refuse, just listen to me."

Next, Fu Mingyou talked about the bookstore. Of course, what he said had his own focus. On the one hand, he was inclined to the poor children of the whole world, and on the other hand, he would also be inclined to the only son of Uncle Qian.

People need to look forward. Although the daughter is dead, the son is still there, and the son is already fifteen or sixteen years old. Then it is time to start a family and start a business. Making friends can be very difficult.

After hearing Fu Mingyou's words, the couple fell silent.

Uncle Qian's son Qian Tiannian walked over directly and said, "Since my parents don't want to, you can go."

He knows about his sister, and he doesn't like those powerful people. Although he has grown up now, he doesn't want his parents to face things that they don't want to face because of him.

Looking at my son, he is thin, but very filial and has a good personality.

Uncle Qian was silent for a while. In fact, the one I'm most sorry for these years is his son.

"How much is the monthly money?" Qian Weicai asked after taking a sip of tea, looking at Fu Mingyou.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "Uncle Qian, you don't have to worry about this, five taels of silver per month, and a knife of paper every month for free. If your son needs to go to a private school, I can also help of."

Although the members of the Qian family have not come out for so many years, they still have a lot of money on them. Otherwise, they would not have used various connections to bring the person who killed his daughter to justice.

Uncle Qian was silent for a while, and said: "If you go to be the shopkeeper and meet those powerful people, can you really ignore them?"

He couldn't believe that there were really too many dignitaries in the capital, even their former enemies were just a small family, not as good as the top dignitaries in the capital.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said: "Of course you don't have to worry about this. If anyone asks or comes to harass you, you can just tell them my name. My name is Fu Mingyou."

He has been relatively prosperous in the capital recently. Everyone knows that the person behind him is the emperor, and the bookstore he is opening now is in the hands of His Majesty.

After hearing Fu Mingyou's words, everyone's eyes widened. Although they went in and out, they knew Fu Mingyou's name.

"It turned out to be Master Fu." Qian Weicai really admired Fu Mingyou, and then he glanced at his wife, then at his son, and said, "Okay, I am willing to be the shopkeeper, what? When do you need me to go?"

Fu Mingyou smiled and said: "In three or five days, I'm not sure about the exact time. The bookstore is currently being remodeled. When it's done, I'll send someone to pick you up."

Once this matter is done, then there is nothing to worry about.

But just in case, he would still tell His Majesty in advance, and ask the other party to remind many aristocratic families. After all, if something really happens, His Majesty will find it difficult to do so.

After Fu Mingyou left, he went home directly.

"Daddy, you're back."

When Xiao Tangyuan saw Fu Mingyou, she was very happy and ran directly into his arms.

Fu Mingyou picked up Xiao Tangyuan and kissed her on the cheek: "Does Xiao Tangyuan miss Daddy?"

The little glutinous rice balls kissed each other on the face, and rubbed each other affectionately: "I miss Daddy."

"It's Daddy's fault. Daddy is too busy these days."

Fu Mingyou felt a little apologetic, he was too busy these two days, and after finishing the bookstore business, he must take a break and spend time with his son and husband.

After Xia Yanxi heard the voice, she also came over, smiled, and said, "Master, you are back."

Fu Mingyou smiled, and stepped forward to put his arms around the other party: "It's been a hard time."

Xia Yanxi shook her head with a smile, and then said: "By the way, my grandfather came over before and said he had something to look for you."

Xia Yanxi also knew that Fu Mingyou asked people from the Li family to renovate the bookstore. It is estimated that the other party asked Fu Mingyou for this matter.

"Really? Then I'll go find grandpa."

Fu Mingyou probably also knew about the bookstore, and then he looked at the little Tangyuan in his arms and said, "Do you want to go there with Daddy?"

"Going." Xiao Tangyuan nodded. Has there been a baby in Li's family recently? The little girl is very cute. Xiao Tangyuan has met her before and likes her very much. The younger sister cried out.

Fu Mingyou talked to Xia Yanxi for a while, and then took Xiaotangyuan to Li's house.

The Li family is about a cup of tea away from the Fu family. When the two of them walked there, the Li family was doing something.

"Grandma." Xiao Tangyuan ran over immediately after seeing the people in the yard, and said in a childish voice.

After seeing the other party, Mrs. Li immediately put down the buddy in her hand, and smiled: "Oh, grandma's little boy, why are you here? Are you here alone?"

"Daddy is here too." Xiao Tangyuan smiled, then pointed to Fu Mingyou outside and said.

After Fu Mingyou walked in, he said, "Grandma, I'm here to find grandpa."

"Xiao Fu, your grandpa is in the back yard." Mrs. Li smiled, and then looked at Xiaotangyuan: "Grandma also eats Xiaotangyuan as a snack."

Because of Fu Mingyou, the Li family is not only not struggling in the capital, but is becoming more and more prosperous, so sometimes Mrs. Li will make some snacks for the family members to taste.

"Okay, okay, I want to eat red bean cake."

The little glutinous rice balls nodded immediately, Mrs. Li is also very good at making pastries, no worse than Aunt Li.

Mrs. Li immediately agreed, and Fu Mingyou smiled helplessly, pinched his son's face, and went straight to find Mr. Li.

Mr. Li was making wooden tools there, and now there are only a few cabinets left, and the things in the bookstore are almost complete.

The blueprints that Fu Mingyou gave him before were all very good. Mr. Li really thinks that Fu Mingyou is a very powerful task. You can know the blueprints given by the other party before. The blueprints given by the other party before are very unique. The pattern that has never been seen before is also very delicate and beautiful, even he, an old man, likes it, let alone those young ladies.

After Fu Mingyou walked over, he called out, "Grandpa, I'm here."

After seeing the other party, Mr. Li put down the things in his hand, smiled, and said, "I'm back, come, take a look at what I made before."

Fu Mingyou walked over and found that Mr. Li's carpentry is really good, everything is very delicate, the wood surface is also polished very well, and it doesn't feel rough at all.

"Little Fu is here."

Carrying wood from outside, Uncle Li and the others immediately smiled when they saw Fu Mingyou.

Fu Mingyou nodded, then looked at the bookcase and other things beside him, smiled, and said, "Grandpa, uncle, your craftsmanship is really good, better than what I imagined."

Due to the limited technology here, they are all done by hand, and it takes a lot of effort and time to polish those, so it is very good to be able to make such a look.

"Fortunately, the main reason is that your design is better."

Uncle Li smiled, then looked at Fu Mingyou, and said, "By the way, the people I knew before Xiao Fu asked me, when will we resume the cement road?"
