Chapter 278 Maybe We Can Find It
Although Lord Gu had a handsome and unruly face, that smile still looked somewhat hateful in Qin Yuan's eyes.

"The water is here, go take a bath."

Qin Yuan urged him in a cold voice.

She didn't want to tell him that the Smallpox Lady hadn't been sent yet.

There is still a wait.

Gu Jinghui walked into the clean room proudly.

My little wife, this is just as what Brigadier General Jin said in his precious book, the woman is shy and wants to accept but also refuse.

The precious book says that if a woman is shy, it means she is attracted.

He must have been deeply rooted in Qin Yuan's heart.

Lord Gu finished his bath quickly and easily. When he came out, Cui Ming and Hong Ye were both there. There were clothes and accessories on the tray on the table, so he put them on.

Qin Yuan was talking to two maids on the side.

"I wonder what Madam Gu Liu and Lord Xu said? The Xu family stopped making trouble."

Qin Yuan said, "What else could it be? Madam Gu Liu is also a daughter of the Xu family. We can't hurt another for this. To be honest, it's all thanks to the account book that Hong Ye showed us. Otherwise, it wouldn't have ended so easily."

Gu Jinghui lowered his head to tie his purse, and smiled when he heard it: "Hongye is your capable general, and she has done a great deed. I said she is capable and intelligent. With Hongye and Cuiming helping you, I feel relieved about the affairs of the mansion."

Hongye smiled with her lips pursed.

Cui Ming's lips curled up slightly, obviously enjoying it very much.

Qin Yuan said, "Speaking of this, I remembered something. Today, I heard from my sixth brother's wife that Zhen Jie'er and her maid were lost together. No one has seen them along the way. Maybe they were not abducted by the beggar."

Gu Jinghui nodded and said, “Yes, I have always suspected that they were taken away by someone who has something to do with the Zhao family, but I have no evidence.”

Qin Yuan said: "Maybe we can still find someone."

Gu Jinghui glanced at Qin Yuan and said, “You don’t know, Eighteen has already asked all the vendors, peddlers, and beggars around the gate of the mansion, but no one saw it.”

Qin Yuan said: "There may be some fish that slipped through the net."

Gu Jinghui thought about it and nodded: "Not bad."

Some of them are spies sent by the princes, and they may not be telling the truth.

Sixteen had mentioned before that there seemed to be something wrong with the spies in the Prince of Qi's Palace, and there were also some abnormalities in the Prince of Qi's Palace.

Because of smallpox, it was not investigated in detail.

Gu Shiliu outside kept urging, and the little maid in the corridor said, "Madam, Shen Changle wants to see you."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My Lord, please go quickly. This matter will take a while to finish, and I have to get busy here too."

When Gu Jinghui walked out of the house, he saw the plump and plump Shen Changle standing in the corridor, chatting animatedly with Gu Shiliu.

"Sixteen brothers, I am not bragging about my own achievements, but now that this collection of poems has been brought to Shuhai Pavilion, they will only regret it. If the owner of Shuhai Pavilion had honestly accepted the business from the sixteen brothers, they would have enjoyed the glory."

Gu Shiliu said smugly, "At first they stopped others from printing, and said that the Marquis' Mansion was insulting and that the Sixth Master was being pretentious. Oh, this time we have a deal, we won't put any copies in the Book Sea Pavilion, let them regret it."

Lord Gu suppressed his laughter and said, "Sixteen, let's go."

Shen Changle turned around, his round and amiable face full of joy, and he bowed affectionately and appropriately: "Hello, Lord Marquis." Lord Gu said in a gentle voice: "Get up, Shen Changle, you have done a great job on this task."

Shen Changle smiled even more.

Gu Shiliu couldn't help but interrupt: "Our Lord has always rewarded those who have made contributions. When Sixth Master becomes famous in the capital, the Lord will definitely reward you handsomely."

Shen Changle smiled and said, "As the saying goes, people of the same family are like birds of a feather. Madam also said that if we can make this printing business a success, there will be a generous reward. I thought that I must use all my strength to live up to the master's trust."

Seeing that he was knowledgeable and interesting, Lord Gu took a few glances at him and asked, "Aren't you worried that the master is just talking nonsense?"

Shen Changle said, "How could that be? The Marquis' Mansion treats its servants very well. I heard that a blind woman even got help from the Marquis, and he wanted to cure her eyesight."

Gu Shiliu became even more excited.

"Isn't it? The Marquis is the most magnanimous and kind-hearted. This has been the rule in the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion for many years. Otherwise, why would so many people be willing to risk their lives for him?"

Lord Gu stamped his feet and said something.

"Do your best and I won't treat you unfairly."

After saying that, he ran out of the yard. Gu Shiliu didn't even bother to say hello and hurriedly followed him.

Soon after, Shen Changle was also brought into the outer room by Hongye and answered through the bead curtain.

Qin Yuan also heard their greetings, so she asked, "Why, is this poetry collection selling well?"

Shen Changle smiled and said, "It is indeed good. Isn't this because of the honor of the two adults? The evaluation among scholars is quite good. I sent some to the Imperial College to the two candidates, and asked them to give them to their relatives and friends. I also sent a lot to the two adults. Five hundred copies seem to be not enough. I wonder if we should print more."

Qin Yuan understood that even a scholar would buy a copy just to read the poems of the two adults.

What's more, the poetry books of Qin Siyuan and Lin Ziqi are also worth reading.

Mr. Gu Liu was just a matchmaker, but with the painting it was understandable and not shameful.

"Then print more. Sixth Master has to give away a lot. The old lady said that she will hold a banquet in a few days to get rid of bad luck. Then Sixth Master Gu will give gifts to relatives and friends."

Shen Changle narrowed his eyes and smiled: "This half-sale and half-giveaway is only enough to recover the cost."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you have any ideas? It's the first time, so it's good if we don't lose money."

Shen Changle lowered his voice and said, "I think that printing poetry collections can help Master Qin and Master Liu become famous, and it can also give our shop a way out. Why not take advantage of this favorable situation and invite scholars from the Imperial Academy to hold a poetry gathering, and then print them out. After a few times, the business will grow bigger and bigger, and we will also gain a reputation. All provinces will follow the lead of the capital, and we will not worry about not being able to sell to other provinces."

This plan expanded the business across the country.

Qin Yuan nodded secretly in her heart. She really had not misjudged Shen Changle. But she still said, "This method is not bad, but we have to start with this collection of poems. If we find it interesting, the rest will follow naturally."

The implication is that Shen Changle should proceed steadily and not aim too far ahead.

Shen Changle smiled and said, "Of course."

Then he talked about the business situation of other shops in recent days.

Shen Changle said, "The shop in the West Market is narrow and remote, but it is not a problem to sell some collections of literature. Because of Master Gu Liu's paintings this time, I thought that I could also sell some paintings, pigments, fans, etc. in the shop, and sell some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Although the income is not much, it looks like a business for scholars, and it doesn't take up much space."

Qin Yuan said: "You can make your own decisions on these."

Shen Changle became even more interested, and continued, "I have spread the news about pepper. Some people in the market, who don't know where they came from, also said that pepper will plummet. They also said that now that we have the Kunyu World Map, which records the overseas countries and people, it is much more convenient to go out to sea. In the future, pepper will only become cheaper and cheaper, which makes people panic."
