Great Ming Dynasty Wen Chao Gong

Chapter 14 Who can understand my daughter’s worries?
  In front of Ding's bookstore, Zhang Xiao slipped in from the side door in casual clothes.

"Shopkeeper Ding?"

"Who is he? He's busy right now. Hey, it's Mr. Hanlin." Shopkeeper Ding quickly stopped what he was doing.

"It's okay, Shopkeeper Ding, please continue your work. I just heard that the "Song of Xide" has started to be sold in the past few days, and I wanted to ask how the sales are."

"The sales are quite good. Thanks to the name Xiaoyaozi, there is no problem with sales. There are also several large customers who have ordered hundreds of units, which should be marketed to other places." Shopkeeper Ding said happily.

"Shopkeeper Ding, then you can print more. If there are really some that can't be sold later, as long as the quantity is too large, I will buy it back at the original price." Zhang Xiao said grandly.

"How dare you? Your book will definitely sell easily." Shopkeeper Ding complimented.

"In Shangyanshang, Shopkeeper Ding, you are operating normally. As long as it does not involve books that the imperial court is not satisfied with, you can safely sell the safe seals. You can print as many of my books as you think you can sell, and you can't spend all your money on printing them. But if you reserve a hundred copies of my book for me, if the printing is slightly better, I will buy it at a 50% increase." Zhang Xiao said.

"It's up to you to buy it, and it will be given directly to you."

"No, no, this will mess up the accounts. Shopkeeper Ding, whether my accounting method is good or not, it depends on whether you should use the abacus here."

"It's easy to use, but I usually use it when calculating totals. I'm usually used to an abacus."

"It's easy to talk, shopkeeper Ding. I'll go to the front of the store and have a look." Zhang Xiao said goodbye to the shopkeeper and looked at the bustling crowd of book buyers.

However, what Zhang Xiao didn't notice was that at this time, a boy bought several sets of "The Song of Cid" and hurried to a princess mansion.

In Princess Yongning, a master and a servant were chatting. Princess Yongning was reading a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". "Princess, is this book so good? I see you flipping through it again and again. It's better to listen to music and watch a play, or work as a female worker. If not, how about reading the Instructions for Women's Virtues?" Xiao Qing, the princess's maid, said.

"Does the training of women's virtues mean that they should support their husbands and raise their children? There is no need for it now. Life is as ordinary as water, so you might as well read these books." Princess Yongning said lightly.

"I'm just afraid that the grandma in charge of the house will blame you for reading some inappropriate articles, princess." Xiao Qing said still worriedly.

"I'm not afraid. I have the ability to sue my brother the emperor!" Princess Yongning's face turned cold.

"Princess, forgive me." Xiao Qing hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up. Although you and I are servants of the Lord, we are trapped in this house now. We are also sisters in need. Why should we be so restrained? Haven't you also read these books? Do you know what I am thinking? I really envy Huang Rong, the desert grassland , the water town and the sea, I have visited them all, and there is also a brother Jing who has always been with me. Unlike Princess Huazheng, who is used as a tool by her father, who will send her away." The princess said, while gently Caressing Xiaoqing's face. Xiaoqing also leaned her head on the princess's arms.

At this time, the book-buying boy had already appeared in the house, changed into eunuch's clothes, and hurried over with a few books in his arms.

"Your Highness, at your request, I have bought the latest book written by Xiaoyaozi." The little eunuch came in with the book and reported. He looked at the two masters and servants leaning together, not surprised.

"Little Plum, put down the book." The princess said calmly.

The little eunuch resigned.

The princess picked up the book: "Xiao Qing, this name is very strange, "Song of Cide"?"
