Chapter 161

"Third brother, let's go to the town tomorrow, and first ask how much the certificate including shop decoration is. If you can get back two certificates for 2000 taels, you can get them back first, and if you can't, just take the 500 taels." of."

"Okay, pay back as much as you can. If you pay off the debt earlier, all the money you earn in the future will be yours." Fang Zizhan knew what she was thinking, and said distressedly.

"Well, I negotiated with Mr. Wen yesterday, and I will get [-]% of the album directly, so I don't need to calculate the manuscript fee. The handbag matter has stabilized, and I can concentrate on painting."

"By the way, Xiao Qier, I talked to Mr. Wen last night, and I also want to write a manuscript for him in exchange for some money." Fang Zizhan coughed suddenly, blushing a little.

"Really? That's great. What kind of story do you want to write? Do you have an idea for the story?" Fang Xiaofu regained his energy when he heard it.There are many scholars in their family, and it is very common for educated people to write a book.

"I didn't expect it to be written about you, but it shouldn't be as tragic as "The Dream of Heroes at Sunset". I want to write something lighter and more positive."

Fang Zizhan was shy for a long time, but he still said: "Mr. Wen said, write inspirational, it will make people look hopeful, life will become more positive, and word of mouth will be very good."

"Mr. Wen is saying that his books are not inspirational enough, there is no hope, life is very decadent, and word of mouth is not good?" Fang Xiaofu immediately pouted, almost turning into a duckbill.

"Mr. Wen said that your book looks very tragic, very touching, and captivating. It makes people want to break into the book to draw swords to help and fight for justice. Your book is very good, and the story is very attractive, which makes people unbearable. roll."

Fang Zizhan said quickly.

"Hmph, anyway, Mr. Wen is the best at talking." Fang Xiaofu originally wanted to be arrogant, but the smile on his face really diluted her decision.

Then the two discussed the book that Fang Zizhan wanted to write, and basically finalized the outline.

Then Fang Xiaofu told him again and again that his main task was to study, and he had to take the college examination in autumn, so he couldn't stop his fame in his childhood just to write a book.

Although he passed No. 1 in the Tongsheng examination this time, if he fell behind Ziwei's younger brother in the college examination, he would be ashamed.

"Don't worry, my husband promised you that I want to shorten the distance between my second brother." Fang Zizhan chuckled, "From now on, like you, arrange your time well. Set aside an hour every day to write, and the rest to read , how are you?"

"That's how you behave." Fang Xiaofu smiled and wanted to pinch his face again, but Fang Zizhan avoided it.The two quarreled again before Fang Zizhan left.

Fang Zizhan went back to his room triumphantly, not noticing a melancholy figure standing in the window of the south chamber.Fang Ziyuan saw that the lights in Xiao Qi'er's room were turned off, and then he sighed and lowered the window.

After breakfast the next day, Fang Xiaofu and Fang Zizhan went out, they were going to the third uncle's house, Fang Ziyuan naturally went with him, Fang Zijian and Fang Ziwei also went together.

Now that they are all children, they don't need to go to the village school anymore, they can study at home, and they can take the exam for talent with peace of mind.Only Zihong and Zisheng are the two poor little ones, who can only watch helplessly as their brothers go out.

Zisheng asked more than once: "Can I wait for two days? It will be a holiday in two days." In this way, they can go to the town together.

They couldn't go to the county seat a few times ago, but they couldn't go to the town this time, so pitiful.

"Go to school obediently, and wait until we come back from the town with cakes." Fang Xiaofu had 20 taels of silver in her cloth bag, and she planned to buy more cakes when she came back, and there were still many days before returning to the county seat.

In the end, she and the four brothers got into Uncle Wang Sheng's donkey cart under the reluctance of the two little ones behind, and walked away.

After the rain stopped, the temperature has picked up a lot, and now it is the season when the wind is facing the wind, the clothes are thin, and the youth is full of energy.However, Fang Xiaofu still wore a scarf to prevent the wind from blowing him into facial paralysis.

Of course, she was overthinking.This ancient donkey cart is not a modern sports car, how fast can it be?

Half an hour later, when the car arrived in the town, Uncle Wang Sheng refused to accept the money, saying that now he made a lot of money running the county town for their family.But Fang Zizhan still insisted on giving it, and the two were at a stalemate.

In the end, Fang Ziyuan stuffed a sling of money into the hands of Uncle Wang Sheng, and said, "Uncle, I even paid the fare for the return journey. You can pack it up and go, we will wait for your car here in the afternoon."

Before Uncle Wang Sheng could respond, everyone ran away in a hurry.Fang Xiaofu giggled, he was still the second brother's domineering.

In the third uncle's house in the town, the original three large shops were renovated and looked brand new, and now they are divided into three shops to operate three businesses, but at present, only the middle one is open normally.

The people in the nearby shop have been paying attention for a long time, and they are all discussing what the Fang family's shop is going to do?Could it be that there is really no money to buy goods, and the three shops have shrunk into one, right?
Some people even ran to ask them if they would rent the empty shop, but they were all stared at by the shopkeeper.

According to Fang Xiaofu's request, Fang Ziyuan did not lead them through the side door, but directly passed by the shop.Fang Xiaofu saw that the doors on both sides of the shops were closed, so he went in to have a look.

The shop seemed to have been redecorated. According to her request, the wooden side was basically empty, only a few wooden slats were nailed to the wall, and some small objects could be hung for decoration in the future.

The empty shop doesn't even have any goods, only a small round table and a few stools. The goods are naturally locked in the back warehouse, and only samples will be displayed in the shop in the future.Tables and stools are naturally for guests to sit, drink tea, and discuss business.

On the other side of the empty storefront, there is a container with long partitions on both sides, and there are also containers on the wall, mainly for pastries, and they all have muslin doors and covers.

Larger cakes are available for sample and order only.There are not many samples, and you can eat them by yourself after two or three days, and there will be no waste.And if you cut it up and distribute it to neighbors and friends, it can also serve as a promotional effect for tasting.

Fang Xiaofu looked at the shop, and then followed Fang Ziyuan into the yard.

The front of his house faces the street with a pavement, and the front yard has a living room, a side hall, a warehouse, the shopkeeper and the side rooms where the waiters and servants live, and the back yard is where their family and maidservants live. Although the area is not large in the town, it is Much better than the old Fang's house.

Fang Xiaofu also wanted to have a house like this, but she didn't dare to say it out. I'm afraid she couldn't buy it for a few thousand taels.

Mr. Wen's Tianyi Bookstore has a larger area, more shops, and more expensive land, and it is located in a prosperous county town.

If it is a small courtyard house without a shop, it is much cheaper. It may only cost a few dozen taels for a family of three, and it may cost more than a hundred taels or less than a thousand taels for a large family.
