The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

That day, Lin Qingjun and Daiyu were admiring "The Painting of Ink and Bamboo". When Bailu said that Uncle Chen asked to see him, Qingyun immediately knew what was going on.Coming over, Uncle Chen brought an account sheet, which listed the list of items purchased by the bookstore and various unit prices.

"Miss, you have to pay a down payment for everything here. The craftsmen have found everything, so you have to pay part of the wages in advance. In addition, all the things in our store will be ready within two months at most, but the books haven't arrived yet." In Beijing, there is nothing else to do except giving gifts to friends of different generations. Uncle Chen and the others are very free, so they are busy with Lin Qingyun's bookstore.Uncle Chen has always been safe in his work, he has made inquiries and said: "If you go to the engraving workshop to buy books now, it will be difficult to buy. The books in the engraving workshop are all sold according to the number. We had no choice but to copy the title of a book and find a carving workshop to reprint it."

Lin Qingjun heard that what he said made sense, so he asked, "What's so special about the engraving workshop? Which one is better?"

Uncle Chen said with a smile: "There are three kinds of engraved books at present, official engraved, family engraved, and workshop engraved. Among them, there are also two kinds of official engraved editions, one is the engraved version issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, commonly known as the Neifu edition, and the other is the engraved edition issued by the government office. , also called the official version, for example, our master in Yangzhou not only supervises the salt affairs, but also manages the Yangzhou Poetry Bureau. Yes. Family engravings are generally engraved by aristocratic families for the children of the clan, such as family sayings and family instructions. Except for gifts to relatives and friends, the rest are not passed on. The quality of square engravings is poor, and occasionally there are some small mistakes, but they are the most widely circulated. There are more than 100 large and medium-sized squares in the capital, and a few are quite good."

Daiyu, who had been listening quietly all this time, said in surprise, "Sister Qingyun, do you want to open a bookstore?"

"Well, I was just about to tell you, but I forgot about it for a while. My sister has a clever mind, and she can help me with the details later." Qingyun's words are by no means polite. She's a half-assed person who knows a lot.

Naturally, Daiyu didn't think she should. Seeing that she was worried about books, she said: "Since we want to open a bookstore, we must use good books, and scholars will like them after reading them. After all, my sister's store will not open for a month or two. Why don't you write a letter to daddy and ask daddy for help, and you can directly use the Yangzhou Poetry Bureau to engrave a batch of books and ship them to the capital without any delay."

Qingyun's heart was moved. If possible, she would naturally want an official copy, but the shipping costs would be quite a lot, and the Yangzhou Poetry Bureau would have to be used...

"Sister thinks it's not good?" Daiyu saw her look hesitant.

"It's good, it's just..." Qingyun expressed her concerns.

But Daiyu frowned and said: "How much money can it cost? Even if it costs more, it's worth it, and it's not like I don't have money."

Qingyun knew that Daiyu had always been extravagant and didn't care about money. It didn't mean that she was extravagant, but that the daughter of an aristocratic family never cared about a little money, and instead lost her status.It's just that their circumstances are different, so naturally they can't be as bold as Daiyu.

Qingyun smiled and said: "It's nothing else, but now I also want to do business. Since I am in business, I have to care about expenditure and income, and I can't do business at a loss. The books of Yangzhou Poetry Bureau are good, but they are only It’s not worth the shipping costs for these books.”

"What my sister said is also reasonable." It's not that Daiyu doesn't understand this truth.

But Uncle Chen suddenly said: "Why should you worry, big girl? There are many bookstores in Beijing. How many of them are full of official editions? When someone comes from Yangzhou in the future, just bring some books from Yangzhou Bookstore. We are far away. In the capital city, it is better to choose a Fangke for long-term business."

"It's still Uncle Chen who is very thoughtful, and he is almost in trouble." Qingyun patted his forehead, and then said: "Then according to Uncle Chen's intention, find the best engraved one, take the book list for a while, and press the books on it Different numbers are imprinted. Be sure to engrave carefully. I would rather engrave slowly and proofread carefully. If there is a mistake, I will not follow it."

"Don't worry, big girl, I will definitely do it properly." Uncle Chen followed Lin Ruhai to the Yangzhou Bookstore before, and knew a thing or two about some of the secrets in it.

"Slow down!" Daiyu called to Uncle Chen who was about to leave, and said, "We brought a lot of books with us when we went to Beijing, and many of them were unique treasures. After all, it's not much fun to cherish them with a broom. Why don't you take them out and engrave a few books on the shelf?" In my sister's bookstore, let people know that there are rare and good books in my sister's bookstore."

Qingyun knew that Daiyu would never be stingy about it. She wished that everyone in the world loved reading and knew the benefits of reading, but she was grateful for her kindness: "Thank you sister. After all, it is a collection of the Lin family. Don't take it to the carving workshop. Don’t worry if it’s broken a little bit. We’ll make a copy when we’re free and put it in the store. If anyone likes it, he can copy it himself.

"That's good, after all, it's my sister who thinks well." Daiyu clapped her palms and smiled, agreeing very much.

After Uncle Chen left, Daiyu took Qingyun back to the room together, counted all the books brought from Yangzhou, and made a book list.Considering the limited manpower and the scarcity of things, it was agreed to make a copy every month.

Daiyu went to the desk again and took out the letter paper, and said while dipping the pen in the ink, "Yangzhou Bookstore's books are not always available when you want them, so write a letter to Daddy and ask Daddy to take care of it for us. Besides, maybe in previous years, there will be more books. There are some leftover books, no matter what they are, I will bring them when my father goes to Beijing."

"My younger sister is too excited, saying that the wind is the rain." Qingyun thought it was funny, and it was extremely rare for Daiyu to look like this.

"I'm happy for my sister." Daiyu knew Qingyun's thoughts and feelings very well, because she also had a similar experience in Jia's family a few years ago. After all, Qingyun was better than her, and unexpectedly came up with the idea of ​​opening a bookstore.Daiyu has no enthusiasm for business. Taking care of the shops left by her mother is a must-learn homework for girls. She also knows what those shops will be used for in the future. In a hurry, but as a girl, it's not easy to talk to her father about such things.

Suddenly thought of something, Daiyu hurriedly asked: "Sister, I'm afraid the money in her hand is not enough? It costs a lot just to engrave the book."

"Sister, is it expensive to buy books? I have a long-term business with the engraving workshop, and I have a discount, and it is mass recording, so the price is naturally lower than the official sale outside. Besides, I don't want to burn too much at one time when I open it for the first time, so the money It's enough, you don't have to worry. If one day I really run out of money, I will definitely open my mouth to you." Saying this, Qingyun had already planned.After the official opening, it only takes two or three months to get on the right track to make a profit, and slowly increase the number of books.The rest of the budget she wants to spend on pastries and tea.

When it comes to tea and pastries, she has made a special list of fresh western pastries that can be made at the moment. Tea is not difficult. At this time, there are many kinds of green tea, black tea and clear tea. Soup and various juices are enough.

Daiyu gave a lot of opinions on this, such as the tea utensils for drinking water, the layout of the private room, etc. After all, it was the influence of the aristocratic family, and Qingyun couldn't catch up with the other party's connotation in just one year.After Daiyu pointed out, the private room was suddenly elegant and elegant, with a strong fragrance of ink.

"Why don't sisters name this store?" Qingyun said abruptly.

"Sister really wants me to take it?" Daiyu didn't decline politely, but was eager to try.It has to be said that in some respects Daiyu likes to be competitive. Instead of being annoying, she looks even more delicate and cute.

"My sister is full of poems and books, and I hope to give her a name." Qingyun bent down like a scholar and made a bow.

Daiyu covered her face with a round fan, smiled and bent over: "Excuse me, excuse me. Since 'Young Master Qingyun' has asked so, I will give you a name." She tilted her head slightly, and opened her mouth for a moment Tao Yuanming said: "Tao Yuanming has a poem: Appreciate strange texts together, and analyze doubts and meanings. This poem is very consistent with the purpose of this bookstore opened by my sister. Why not call it 'Shangwenlou'."

Shangwen Building?

Lin Qingyun read it twice in his mouth, and felt it was very smooth, and both refined and popular, he immediately smiled and said: "Thank you sister, if the business is successful in the future, it will be due to my sister, then I will naturally repay my sister."

Daiyu laughed again, and Bailu Zijuan and others couldn't stop laughing.

But at this moment, the little girl Taoxiang said outside the door: "You two girls, let someone from the Liu Shan family tell you that someone from the Jia family has come to pick up the girl."

Daiyu smiled, and raised her brows lightly: "I've only lived at home for two or three days, so I'm so anxious." Then she ordered Zicuckoo, and said: "Go for me and make amends to grandma. I just said that I want to stay at home for a few more days, sister Qingyun is always alone, and I have to take care of the big and small things at home. I hope my grandmother can understand."

Lin Qingyun didn't persuade her, and she didn't want the Jia family to pick her up like a urging, could Daiyu be wronged if she lived at her own house?It's just Jia's mother's private thoughts, delusional to let Daiyu and Jia Baoyu cultivate a relationship since childhood.I really don't know whether Jia's mother is smart or confused, so what if they are in love?Without formally assigning a title, doing nothing, even if something happens in the future, Daiyu is the only girl who suffers.

When Zijuan went to Jia's mansion to answer, Mrs. Wang and Sanchun Baochai and Baoyu were there.

After hearing Zijuan's words, Du Baoyu quarreled: "Sister Lin is not coming back? I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time, why doesn't Sister Lin come back? Old ancestor, send someone to pick up Lin younger sister."

"Baoyu!" Mrs. Wang yelled lightly, and Baoyu flinched for a moment, not daring to make any more noise. "Your sister Lin has her own home, and her sister is at home, how can she always live here. Tell your father carefully if you mess around."

Jia's mother was not happy: "Tell me what his father is doing. Baoyu is timid. Why bother to frighten him." As she spoke, she stroked Baoyu's hair and comforted her: "Your sister Lin is worried that there is no one at home. That's why it's not easy to come, wait a few days before sending someone to pick you up, your sister Lin will definitely come."

A few days later, Mother Jia sent someone to pick up Daiyu again, and she did.

At the end of the month, Mother Jia received a letter from Yangzhou, and she couldn't help being angry when she saw that Lin Ruhai declined her proposal in her heart.But Jia's mother also knew in her heart that she saw Baoyu as good in every way, and outsiders saw Baoyu as the second son of Wailang, a member of the fifth-rank engineering department. It was really difficult to choose a good marriage with all four corners. It is also normal not to want to.However, the two families are in-laws. Lin Ruhai was also interested in it before, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

After thinking about it, Jia's mother felt that the problem was Wang's body, and Lin Ruhai must have heard something.

The reason Lin Ruhai declined in the letter was that his son and daughter were still young, and he also listed the selection criteria for a son-in-law, and even pretended to ask Jia Mu to help him find the right person in Beijing.Jia's mother was angry, but she felt that things had turned for the better, as long as the matter was put aside, Lin Ruhai's body might not be able to last for a long time.
