The steward's surname was Qi, and he turned out to be the son of the old owner of the bookstore. Unfortunately, his father was not good at running the business and passed away before he could continue.

Qi Guanshi didn’t have any business talent. At most, he was interested in book printing skills. After inheriting his father’s bookshop, he was barely making a living. He kept meeting Zhu Wu, who said: “There is no need to change the name, Qijia Bookshop is

Qijia Bookstore, you just need to help me print books."

Is there such a good thing in the world?!

Manager Qi was surprised. He had his wife and young son who was seriously ill in bed, and his father's hard work on the other. Finally, he gritted his teeth and sold the bookstore to Zhu Wu.

After selling it to Zhu Wu, I found out that Zhu Wu really didn't lie to him. Zhu Wu didn't care much about the normal operations. He only occasionally asked him to take over a few internal affairs, and the rest was "as usual".

The slightly different thing is that you have to "reimburse" every month, so don't get it.

This time Ye Yuran came over, he was still a little nervous.

Just because the fifth master was easy to talk to, it didn't mean that the old lady was also easy to talk to. He followed Ye Yuran, fearing that Ye Yuran would let them close down because they thought their bookshop was "unprofitable".

As a result, Ye Yuran read it and was dissatisfied. She didn't say anything about closing the book. She just asked him if she could help find a few book editors. She had something to introduce to them.

"Does the old lady have any other instructions?"

"No, that's it. If you find someone here, send someone a letter, and I'll come over and select someone."

"Okay, old lady."

…

After sending Ye Yuran away, Qi's nephew Liu Dongsheng came over.

"Uncle, this old lady looks quite kind, not as scary as they say."

Manager Qi glared at him: "Are you free to talk about the master's affairs?"

Nephew Liu Dongsheng touched his nose sarcastically: "I didn't say anything... When someone comes to the master's house, my junior will show his face. It would be better for you to ask me to hide as soon as they come, for fear of being discovered by others."

"When you came in, I didn't say hello to the owner, you idiot. This is my bookshop. I didn't even say hello to let your nephew come in to work. If someone bumped into me, they would misunderstand me as a workshop."

What should I do for my own use?”

"Originally, this bookshop belongs to my uncle, if not..."

"Don't say this kind of thing again." Manager Qi quickly interrupted the fussy nephew, "Didn't your mother make it clear when she sent you here? This is the Zhu family, the Zhu family's workshop... Your mother asked

The reason you entered the bookstore is to have the opportunity to enter the Zhu family's craftsmanship workshop in the future. Please be more honest and avoid getting into trouble, do you understand?"

"I know!" My nephew Liu Dongsheng looked unhappy, but he also knew that his uncle and mother were doing it for their own good, so they could only be honest and obedient.

He didn't have any other hobbies, he just liked tinkering with small things. He was particularly envious of the craftsmen in Zhujiaqiao's workshop, who could easily make many things that he could never imagine.

But it's a pity that he is too young, and the Qiao Workshop is not recruiting outsiders, so he can't get in even if he wants to.

Seeing him like this, his mother had no choice but to find an elder brother who had connections with the Zhu family, and it was his uncle who could take charge of the matter.

To save the country through curves, first make some achievements in the bookstore and become a familiar face. Maybe you can get into the Qiao Workshop later.

"The old lady just said something. Don't you like to mess with things? Go back and study it carefully." Manager Qi said.

"What words?"

"Haven't you ever thought about breaking these words into pieces one by one? Use whichever word you want, and just take it off if you don't want it, right?"

"Isn't that two sentences?"

"Is this the point?" Manager Liu hit his nephew Liu Dongsheng on the head with a finger, "The point is what the old lady said. The old lady looked at the engraving of the printed book and felt that the current engraving was too inconvenient. I thought

We need to break the words into pieces one by one..."

"Can it be dismantled?"

"Yes, but after taking them apart, I don't know how to put them back together again."

…

Ju Letian was a poor and down-to-earth scholar. He failed several imperial examinations and was very disappointed when he found that he was not the material for studying.

Bai Wuyi is a scholar. He knows nothing but reading.

In order to support him, his mother made a living by washing other people's clothes all day long. Even in her twenties, she didn't even have a suitable marriage.

Helpless, he had to pick up the pen and ink and embark on the shameful road of writing novels.

His vest was tightly covered, and except for a few people, no one knew that he wrote novels. Among them, Qi Guanshi was one of the insiders.

Manager Qi ran a bookshop, and although he did not deal directly with the scholars who wrote novels, as a printer, he knew many bookstore owners. Therefore, it was logical for him to get to know Ju Letian.

Ye Yuran came to see Manager Qi this time, and the first person Qi thought of was Ju Letian.

When Manager Qi came to see him, he was afraid that Ju Letian would not agree, so he prepared a bag of good words. Unexpectedly, he agreed as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ju Letian seemed to realize that he agreed too quickly, and said with embarrassment: "My mother is ill, and the money I spent to write the book... doesn't have much left. And the book was written too slowly, and I couldn't write it for a while."

A novel story…”

"Then the job I introduced to you is just right. I, Xindong, am a kind-hearted person. You also know the situation of my bookstore," Qi Guangshi did not poke Ju Letian's pain points, but comforted him, "Business is not good.

, could no longer hold on, and it was Master Zhu Wu who couldn’t stand it, so he paid for it. It was said to be the Zhu family’s bookstore, but it still had the brand name of our Qi family. On weekdays, except for a few introductions, everything was as usual.

It's rare to find such a kind family. So don't worry, as long as you are chosen by the employer, you will have no problem with food and clothing, not to mention becoming rich and powerful."

"Thank you, Uncle Qi."

"Hey, thank you. We are all neighbors, so we should take care of each other. My boy, you helped him get enlightenment."

"I was restrained."

"Hahahaha... Okay, let's not talk anymore. Just remember to come to the bookstore that day and don't forget the time."

"Why."

…

After leaving home in Juletian, Butler Qi visited another scholar named Su.

He was older than Ju Letian, and his situation was better. He was married and had children, and his parents were still alive. However, Su Youren failed to pass the exam for several years and spent all his family's savings in vain. Later, he discussed it with his family,

I didn’t want to fall into this bottomless pit anymore, so I gave up on the imperial examination.

Since you are no longer taking the imperial examination, you have to find a way to support yourself, right?

Su Youren went to work as a bookkeeper, but found that he couldn't do it, so he had to set up a street stall and write letters to people for two cents per letter.

People didn't write letters every day, so Su Youren took a job writing novels for himself. In addition, his wife was good at embroidery, so she could barely make ends meet.

When Manager Qi told him, Su Youren only asked one question: "Do you want to sign someone?"

"If you don't sign people, you're just working," said Manager Qi. "If you sign people, my boss won't let me introduce them. They'll find the person themselves."

"Okay, I'll go there then."

"Okay, remember the time and place. Don't make a mistake. It's a rare opportunity. We are also old acquaintances, so I introduced you to you. If you have any scholars you know, I can ask you to come over and listen to what Dongchen means.

There are a lot of people who want it.”
