Chapter 335 Go to Qingfeng Bookstore

Gu Qingqing stopped the donkey cart and pulled the bamboo basket to her side.

She first took out a box from the bamboo basket, opened it, pointed at the mugwort soap inside that had not yet completely dried, and said, "Manager Shen, these are some of my own soaps. There are fourteen pieces in this box, six of which are for Chen An. It's windy and sandy over there, so using some soap when washing hands and taking a bath can prevent some mosquitoes. The other six are for Madam Shen, and Manager Shen, please don't dislike the remaining two."

When Manager Shen heard that there was also one for him, he was stunned. He laughed and waved his hands, "Mrs. Wen is thoughtful, so I won't use it. Yours looks better than the ones in the store. Each piece costs a lot of money. You can keep it for yourself, or I'll give it to Madam."

"Manager Shen, please don't refuse. These things are only worth a few cents in the shop. I have troubled you a lot when I have things to do. Are you still being polite to us? If so, I won't dare to trouble you again next time I have something to do."

"Mrs. Wen, you are too modest. You are asking less than this price." Manager Shen first raised one finger to her, then spread out five fingers. He said: Fifteen cents.

"They are just little gadgets I made myself, they are nothing." Gu Qingqing continued.

Manager Shen laughed happily, "Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, Madam Wen."

"But this thing hasn't dried completely yet. You can go back and put it in a cool place for ten days or half a month before using it. As for Chen An's, just find a suitable box to put it in and you can transport it on the road."

Then, Gu Qingqing handed all the things for Shen Chenan to Manager Shen, and then left with the donkey.

......

Gu Qingqing parked the donkey in front of the door of the shop that now belonged to her family. The shop was only one-story high, and from the outside it looked like a two-room shop. The shop sign was no longer there, and she had no idea what had been used here.

The shop next to hers sells wine, and the other sells buns and steamed buns.

Gu Qingqing took out the key, opened the door and entered the shop, only to find that the shop was empty and clean, without any traces.

Dahua followed Gu Qingqing, her mouth wide open in surprise. "Mom, is this our shop?"

"Yes. Do you like it?"

Dahua's eyes sparkled brightly, and as he looked around, he said happily, "I like it, so what are we going to use it for?"

Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips, "I haven't thought about it yet."

She said she hadn't thought it through yet, but she already had a general idea in her mind.

There was really nothing to see in the empty shop, but she saw a small door that should lead to the inner courtyard, so she pulled Dahua in to take a look.

It does have an inner courtyard, but it is just a yard surrounded by a wall. The place is not very big. There is a small house on the side. Gu Qingqing went in to take a look. It can be used as a grocery store, or it can be slightly decorated for people to rest.

There was really nothing to see, so she took a quick look and closed the shop with Dahua.

Then he took the paper and went to Qingfeng Bookstore.

The new clerk in the store welcomed them in with a smile on his face. Fearing that they didn't know many words, he kindly approached them and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Gu Qingqing smiled at the other party and said, "I wonder if your boss Jiang is in the store?"

The waiter saw that the woman was looking for the boss and said, "The boss is here, please wait here, I will go and invite the boss."

The bookstore obviously also had a backyard, so without making Gu Qingqing wait any longer, Boss Jiang and Wu Liangzuo entered the store from the backyard. Wu Liangzuo must have found a book he liked, and as he walked along, he reminded Jiang Qingyan, "Boss Jiang, if you find any rare books here in the future, you must leave them to me."

Jiang Qingyan laughed at him, "You are now studying with Mr. Mu from the county. He has all kinds of books. Why are you going to all the trouble to get books from me?"

"I'm really dissatisfied with Boss Jiang. Our teacher loves to collect all kinds of rare books. I just want to get a good reputation with him."

After Wu Liangzuo finished speaking, he saw that there were customers in the store, so he paid the money and left.

He did leave, but what he said was noticed by Gu Qingqing.

"Boss Jiang." Gu Qingqing greeted Jiang Qingyan.

"It's Madam Wen. You haven't been to the store for a long time." Jiang Qingyan said as he invited her to sit down.

"The child's father is not studying in town now, and as a woman I don't need book knowledge, so I didn't come to disturb Boss Jiang's business." Gu Qingqing explained.

"Oh? Brother Wen isn't studying in town?"

"Well, Boss Jiang may not know about this yet." Then Gu Qingqing told him about Wen Wuyan's examination for the status of a scholar and his study in the county.

Finally, Gu Qingqing looked at Jiang Qingyan and asked, "I just overheard you talking to a guest who was leaving. He also studied in the private school opened by Mr. Mu in the county? Which is the only copy?"

Gu Qingqing only asked this, and Jiang Qingyan immediately reacted and was very surprised, "Could it be that Brother Wen is also going to Yunhai Private School?"

Gu Qingqing nodded.

Jiang Qingyan paused, raised his hand and gave Gu Qingqing a thumbs up in admiration, "Brother Wen must be talented and wise to be able to study in Yunhai Private School."

Perhaps because Jiang Qingyan had been a guest at their home once, this time he told Gu Qingqing everything he knew and could say.

No one can tell her who the person just now was.

This time it was Gu Qingqing's turn to be surprised, "His father is the town's teacher, so he can never pass the exam to become a scholar?"

"He was unlucky and was rude again this time. But I heard that one of his classmates passed the exam and became a scholar." Jiang Qingyan said.

At this point, Gu Qingqing knew who the candidate was, but she didn't say it out loud.

As for what he just said about Teacher Wen Wuyan, in her own words, Wen Wuyan's teacher was also a studious person. Although for some reasons he was unable to make further progress in his official career, he personally liked collecting books and some rare copies.

"I see. Thank you, Boss Jiang, for letting me know. I came here today to let Boss Jiang take a look." Gu Qingqing said as she took out a roll of cloth from a bamboo basket. When she opened the roll, she saw the paper she had made inside.

"Is it really made?" Jiang Qingyan was surprised when he saw the paper in the roll of cloth.

"Please give me your comments, Mr. Jiang." After saying this, Gu Qingqing stopped talking and watched Jiang Qingyan read the paper carefully.

“Can I try writing?”

She already knew what Mr. Shen said about paper, so she said confidently, "Boss Jiang, please go ahead."

After a long time, Jiang Qingyan returned to his seat with a sigh.

Gu Qingqing looked at him with great admiration. Although he knew last year that the Wen family wanted to make paper, he thought it would be good enough to get started, but he didn't expect that the paper she brought was no worse than that made by the Chen family in the county.

"How many knives of this kind of paper do you have at home, Madam Wen?"

"I'm not satisfied with Boss Jiang. I can only give Boss Jiang twenty dollars for a product of this quality this time. I kept some of the same quality for my child's father. I also kept some defective ones. My children at home are all in school, so I plan to give them those." Gu Qingqing answered truthfully.

"Since Madam Wen and I are acquaintances, I'll take the twenty dollars you have. As for the price..."

Jiang Qingyan said this and picked up the pen to write a few words on the back of the paper he had just used.
