Chapter 168

When Zhou Ran returned home, Ye Ximing had also returned home and was sitting leisurely in the room reading a book.

Zhou Ran was a little surprised, "Aren't you busy today?"

Ye Ximing nodded, "I'm done with my work, I can rest for a while."

Ye Ximing's words were of course a lie. Reconstructing the history of the previous dynasty was not something that could be completed in a short time. The Hanlin Academy would have to be busy for a while longer, but he would not be as busy as before.

Today the emperor sent him to give a lecture, and also named him to continue giving lectures tomorrow.

Master He might be afraid of what he would say in front of the emperor. When he came back from the palace, Master He changed his attitude towards him, and the tasks assigned to him were no longer several times that of others.

Although I still had no time to spare when I was in Hanlin Academy, I finally didn’t have to stay up late to deal with it after I got home.

Zhou Ran looked at the black and blue eyes of Ye Ximing and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch it. "That's good. You can also take a good rest. I'm really afraid that you will die suddenly if you continue to stay like that."

Ye Ximing grabbed Zhou Ran's hand, put it to his mouth, kissed it, and said, "Don't worry, I won't die that easily."

Zhou Ran glared at Ye Ximing speechlessly and asked him, "Have you had dinner?"

Ye Ximing shook his head.

Zhou Ran knew this and called Ye Ximing, and the two of them went to the hall to have dinner with Da Niu, A Hua and the others.

After returning to the house after dinner, Zhou Ran urged Ye Ximing to wash up and rest.

Ye Ximing was indeed tired during this period. After washing, he lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after.

Zhou Ran was not sleepy at this time, so she simply opened the system to check the progress of her mission.

When all the previous books were printed, the system task progress bar with an unknown reward suddenly increased a lot, and the progress bar that had been crawling like a turtle suddenly passed halfway.

Today, the Liuyun Pavilion in Beijing was opened, and so many books were distributed. The system's progress bar has moved forward a lot, almost 60%.

Zhou Ran felt that if the Liuyun Pavilion in a dozen other places were opened and the books were sent out, the progress bar should be almost 100%. Even if it's not 100%, it should be about 90%.

If it can only reach more than 90%, then she should open a few more Liuguang Pavilions and print some books and distribute them.

Zhou Ran let out a deep breath, finally seeing hope of completing the mission.

But if she continues to print books, the money she has on hand will become tight again. After all, the cost of books in this era is still quite high.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ran sighed again.

I have no choice but to make a few more embroidery pieces starting tomorrow and sell them to Qian’s boss to earn money.

But what to embroider? At this time, you must choose the most profitable embroidery, and the most profitable one is undoubtedly double-sided and three-different embroidery.

But if the embroidery is double-sided and triple embroidered, and the eldest daughter is not willing to collect money, she will have to take advantage of the eldest daughter again.

But after thinking about it, it didn't matter. She could just make it up for Da Niu later, and the embroidery in Da Niu's hand just happened to be completed.

Zhou Ran thought about it and fell asleep in a daze.

After getting up the next day, she told Da Niu about the matter, and Da Niu naturally had no objection.

Last time Zhou Ran and Da Niu embroidered the double-sided and three-different embroidery, Ahua had seen it, but Su Qingqing had not seen it. When Su Qingqing heard that Zhou Ran and Da Niu were going to embroider double-sided and triple-differentiated embroidery, Su Qingqing was very interested. She kept surrounding the two of them, watching them fly the stitches, showing wonder in her eyes from time to time.

The more she looked at Su Qingqing, the more she felt that her embroidery skills were still far behind, so she ran to work hard.

On this day, Zhou Ran was busy with embroidery with Da Niu when Gou Sheng came.

Zhou Ran put down her needlework and went to the hall.

"Why are you here? But what happened to Liuguang Pavilion?" Zhou Ran asked.

Gou Sheng put down the teacup in his hand, shook his head, and said, "It has nothing to do with Liuguang Pavilion. It was the shopkeeper of the bookshop who came to me and said he wanted to discuss the three embroidery books with you, madam."

Zhou Ran raised her eyebrows, "What do they want?"

Gou Sheng said: "They themselves also want to engrave the three books on embroidery techniques."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Did they say when they would meet?"

Gou Sheng shook his head and said: "They said it depends on your time, madam. If you decide to see them, just set a time and I will inform them."

Zhou Ran thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make an appointment at Guangtai Building at noon tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go talk to them right now."

After getting the answer, Gou Sheng didn't wait any longer, stood up and left.

At noon the next day, Zhou Ran went to Guangtai Building to meet the bookshop shopkeeper who wanted to see her.

There are two bookstore shopkeepers here, both of which are famous bookstores in Beijing.

After meeting Zhou Ran, the two of them first complimented Zhou Ran, saying that Zhou Ran had great righteousness in her heart and was even willing to share such exquisite books with the world. Her heart was beyond their comparison.

Zhou Ran smiled and spoke modestly to them, and then said straight to the point: "You came to me to engrave those three books, right?"

The two shopkeepers opposite nodded and said: "That's right, yes, we have seen the three books that Mrs. Ye took out. The contents in the books are very exquisite. We want to engrave some and put them in the bookstore for sale. ”

Zhou Ran looked at the two of them and said: "Since you two have read those books, you should also know that I distribute those books for free. If you want to sell these books in the bookstore, I am afraid not many people will buy them."

One of the shopkeepers said with a smile: "Mrs. Ye, don't worry about us. The books we print are not sold to ordinary people, but to those rich and powerful families."

Zhou Ran thought for a moment and understood what the shopkeeper meant.

In order to control costs, the books she printed were actually a bit rough. Although the content would not be affected, they would certainly not be eye-catching to the ladies and ladies.

If more beautifully engraved books appeared, these people would definitely be willing to spend a little more money to buy such books worthy of their status.

The two people in front of them took a fancy to this and wanted to engrave those books themselves.

However, she engraved these books to let more people see these embroidery skills and learn embroidery.

The person in front of her was willing to engrave books not only without harming her interests, but also helping her. Naturally, she could not refuse.

When the two shopkeepers heard Zhou Ran's straightforward agreement, they both praised: "Mrs. Ye is so refreshing, but you just don't know about the money?"

Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment, then realized, were the two shopkeepers planning to pay her copyright fees?
She smiled and shook her head, "These three books were not written by me. If the two shopkeepers are interested, they can give me some engraved books, and there is no need to give me any money."
