99, Thinking Bookstore
After Xiaoxiao decided on her day, Ruan came to Zhuli Pavilion to find her.
Shanniang set up a tea mat in the yard, and Ruan sat down and ate a few cups of tea.
The drink of Biluochun, the light glass tea set used in the same color, clearly visible the tender green tea leaves stretching, wandering and changing in the water. Ruan Shi drank it lightly: "Drink tea leaves from Sansao, the taste will be different."
Shan Niang smiled: "Drinking tea depends on your mood."
Ruan saw a bunch of deep green leaves inserted into the small tea-colored glass bottle, and a few yellow Suxins came out like the oriole's mouth: "Sister-in-law can insert the bottle at will, and it is full of lush greenery. People sit here and feel that every scene and everything is particularly cool and quiet."
"That's the hearts of my younger brothers and sisters are cool and quiet." Shan Niang added tea to her and gave her the matcha biscuits in the glass plate.
Ruan Shi smiled slightly: "I have never been quiet in my heart," she took a bite of the biscuit and frowned: "But this biscuit is not very delicious."
Shan Niang smiled and asked her to eat rose candy.
Ruan Shi said: "Don't sister-in-law go shopping together?"
Shan Niang said, "After a while, the kiln worker will come over. I'm going to give her a few porcelains. Don't worry if you go together."
For a moment, Xiaoxiao changed her clothes and came out. Shanniang looked at her daughter's light green peony armor: "This dress looks good, it must not be your choice."
Xiaoxiao turned around and showed it to her mother: "Aunt Four is the best at dressing, so she naturally chose it."
Farewell to Shan Niang, Xiaoxiao and Ruan went out of the Zhuli Pavilion together, and neither of them brought the girl.
Ruan was walking in the shaded bamboo forest, wearing purple clothes. Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the purple-robed Dragon King in the novel.
"Your mother's silence is very rare."
Xiaoxiao felt closer to Ruan’s appreciation for his mother.
When the two arrived at the gate, there were already carriages waiting outside. Ruan said, "It's not useable that our mansion car is hired by ourselves."
Xiaoxiao was grateful and got on the car with Aunt Four. Seeing that the car was covered with soft cushions with broken branches and small basswood tables, they put on refreshments. The curtains with the same broken branches were hanging from the window. After a sniff, there was a faint fragrance of gardenia in the car: "This car is so cute that my aunt has troubled."
Ruan leaned against the window and sat down: "I booked this car. If the car in the mansion doesn't fit in, just use this one."
The Tang family is so big that there will be times when the carriage is not enough to be tied up? It must be because the Ruan family is unwilling to be detained, so they use their carriage. The carriage in the mansion has to be registered every time they go out, so it is really troublesome to use it back and forth.
"Where are you going first?" Ruan Shi poured a cup of stevia tea for Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao has already inquired. Today is Yun Yi meeting guests at Haiyi Pavilion. After a while, he will see the long-lost face. Xiaoxiao's heart is confused: "Go to my aunt's bookstore first?"
"That's fine. When the curfew is removed, the bookstore is open," Ruan smiled. "They have printed a new set of "Yuanlong Mountain and Water Chronicles". It is said that there are pictures and words that look very good, so let's take a look."
"Where is my aunt's bookstore still in charge of engraving?"
"With good books, I will naturally print them. All the books I print here are from new people. Those famous artists have printed their own works and printed them again. There is no shortage of my family."
After hearing Ruan's words, Xiaoxiao admired her: "Aunt gives young people enough opportunities, and there are immeasurable merits."
Ruan shook her head and smiled, "It's just that the name is unknown, and the printed books are limited. You only dare to print hundreds of books. The author has to take the commission. After all, the printing is maintained by the bookstore."
Xiaoxiao lowered his head and thought about the way to promote it. It is naturally difficult for an author without fame to make a big splash, and he must go through the media.
Ruan seemed to see Xiaoxiao's thoughts: "It is good for famous artists to recommend books. For example, Shu Yan's collection of poems was jointly recommended by Mr. Tong and Mr. Chongqing. The first one printed 1,000 copies were sold out in a few days. Now it has been printed for more than ten times."
"The third sister published a collection of poems?" Xiaoxiao never thought of this again.
Ruan nodded: "She is indeed talented, otherwise the old man and the old lady would not value her so much."
No wonder she is a little cold and arrogant. This is probably the subtle temperament of a poet.
"Mr. Tong is Chief Tong Shanshan?"
Ruan nodded: "It is said that the third girl has gained an excellent position in the girls' school. Mr. Chongqing is a famous poet in this dynasty, and very few people can win his eyes."
Xiaoxiao nodded, thinking that if it weren't for the conservative people of ancient times, Shu Yan's signature and book sale could greatly boost purchasing power. But this cannot be said. If everyone can get a girl's name and handwriting, how can she get married?
While he was secretly brewing various strategies to promote books, he heard Ruan's voice: "It's here."
Xiaoxiao got out of the car and looked at the bookstore in front of him. It was far from the small bookstore in his heart: three large two-story pavilions, the largest one was the bookstore, and the other two were the painting workshop and the sealing club. The plaque read: Sicun Bookstore, Sicun Painting Club, and Sicun Seal Club.
"I, Sicun, just leaving Sicun as the name of the bookstore, has a unique taste, and makes everyone think of the calligraphy and paintings here in their hearts."
Ruan Shi smiled when she heard this: "Sicun is my word."
Wow, the woman uses her own name to do business signs, and Aunt Fourth is also a strange woman. However, Sicun Bookstore is really nice.
Xiaoxiao followed Ruan into the bookstore and saw the ground covered with snow-white stone bricks, and the pine bookshelf that could not be seen at first sight were filled with books. There were more than a dozen guests picking books, some of which were fascinated by reading, which reminded Xiaoxiao of her past self, and often sat on the steps while visiting the bookstore.
Ruan Shi La Xiaoxiao came to a bookshelves at the door: "There are printed copies engraved by Sicunfang."
Xiaoxiao saw a book called "The Moon Yi Kai" at a glance, and he took it in his hand and read it. He saw it as a book introducing various cloaks and cloaks in ancient and modern times: "This book is interesting, why is it called Moon Yi? It is obviously all Taoist robes and cloaks."
Ruan Shi said: "The moon clothes spread out on the ground, as if it were full moon, so it was named."
Xiaoxiao flipped through it again. This kind of idle book is best suited to his own taste: "I'm afraid that only Aunt Four of the Quanyuan Longchao is willing to print such books."
As he was speaking, a guest who looked like a scholar came over and bowed to Ruan: "Mr. Sicun, I heard that Guifang has printed the "Yuanlong Landscape Records" and the young student has searched for a long time but has not found it."
Ruan called a guy: "Go and see if the mountain and water signs have been printed."
The guy said, "I just booked the line and am moving to the bookstore."
