Since "Top Three Chronicles", the bookstore's business has been getting better day by day.
Song Wan handed over the manuscript and did not continue to write a new book. Instead, he entrusted Uncle Qin to find a painter in the city.
That day she told Shao Yixuan that she would keep compiling the "Rookie Directory" and she was not lying to him. She needed a group of painters who could paint for the bookstore for a long time. In addition to the Rookie Directory, Song Wan also wanted to make some illustrated books in the future.
"However, many painters are more arrogant than literati. They generally will not do anything they are unwilling to do for money. Song Wan can only choose from those painters who draw fire avoidance pictures.
But there is also a problem. Drawing fire avoidance pictures is not a glorious thing. Many painters will find ways to conceal their identities. The person responsible for publishing the book will also help keep it secret according to the rules, so it took nearly half a month. Only one painter expressed his willingness to give it a try, but the prerequisite was to meet the real owner of the bookstore first.
This requirement is actually not too much. Although you are paid to do things, you must always know who you are doing things for.
Song Wan readily agreed and set the meeting place at Liuyan Lake in the north of the city. For convenience, he still wore men's clothes and traveled with Qing E.
There was another spring rain, and the weather became warmer and warmer. The weather was very good that day when they went out. They saw many cars and horses on the road, all taking advantage of the good weather to go out for an outing.
Song Wan arrived at the agreed place first, brewed a pot of tea and waited. Not long after, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Seeing Song Wan, the other party was also surprised. He was stunned for a while, turned around and was about to run away. Qing'e had already noticed it and rushed out of the pavilion to stop him and said, "Sir, my master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhao Xiyue had no choice but to return to the pavilion with a blushing face, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Wan, why is it you?"
Song Wan was also surprised.
As a princess, Zhao Xiyue is actually making money by painting pictures to avoid fire.
Song Wan asked in a low voice: "Is the princess short of money?"
Although the Cao family was in decline, it was not so short of money. Zhao Xiyue came back under orders. Song Wan did not expect that they would dare to mistreat Zhao Xiyue, so he did not pay too much attention.
Knowing that Song Wan was thinking wrongly, Zhao Xiyue shook her head repeatedly and said: "Ah Wan, don't get me wrong. I'm not short of money. They withheld my dowry before. I really needed money so I asked someone to take over this job. Now, although I don't I¡¯m short of money, but I¡¯m also used to finding something to do, otherwise it would be too boring at home.¡±
There are so many fire-avoiding pictures. To Zhao Xiyue, this is an ordinary human body, and he has no other ideas.
After saying this, Zhao Xiyue¡¯s face turned even redder.
It is one thing for her to accept this matter herself, but it is another thing for others to know, not to mention that this person is still an acquaintance.
Song Wan has seen the pictures drawn by Zhao Xiyue. Regardless of the content, the painting skills are absolutely fine.
Song Wan has accepted this matter now, and his expression is normal. He said calmly: "I was originally worried that I would return without success today, but I feel relieved when I see you."
Zhao Xiyue then realized that Song Wan came to her today to talk about business. She asked doubtfully: "A-Wan, when did you open a bookstore?"
Song Wan said: "I bought the store a few days ago. I want to slowly gather people to run the bookstore."
Zhao Xiyue also knew that Song Wan had a lot of betrothal gifts and dowry, so she hesitated and said, "Ah Wan, if you buy some shops and fields in the city, you should have enough money to spend, so why bother like this?"
Song Wan said: "I'm also afraid of being bored. I always stay at home and have nothing to do. This way time can pass faster."
Zhao Xiyue thought about it and thought so, and asked: "Then what do you want me to draw?"
Song Wan asked: "Have you read the book "Rookie Directory"?"
Zhao Xiyue also likes to buy books and read them on weekdays. When she heard this title, she opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked in disbelief: "A-Wan, you wrote this book?"
Song Wan gave a very official answer: "I didn't write it, but it was sold in our store."
Zhao Xiyue: ""
It turns out that the book that everyone in Hanjing has been discussing recently was written by Ah Wan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
