The Beauty in the Peasant Family - C273
“Of course, even at this time, I had no intention of turning Sunset Cloud Villa into another Carefree Island. Honestly speaking, I wasn’t so ambitious in the beginning.” Qin Wuya smiled faintly.
Zhang Shan kissed his hair lightly and said: “I know, what you’re talking about, is ambition comes every step of the way.”
“Right.” Qin Wuya blinked his eyes. His eyes that were as black as ink had a sparkling and translucent luster, which made them look like precious pearls as she said: “So, the reason why I have such thoughts about becoming a Sunset Cloud Villa is because you said that you want to set aside a plot of land in the mountain for your training.
Zhang Shan lowered his eyes, curled his lips, and nodded.
“There is a saying that goes, ‘Do it small and hide in the city.’ I don’t think it’s important where you hide. What’s important is whether or not you have a hidden identity.” Qin Wuya’s voice was slow, with a hint of a smile.
“That is to say, you did not become a Sunset Cloud Villa to earn money, but to find a place for our brothers in the Chao Chung Hall to live in peace and hide your identity, so as to not arouse suspicion?” Zhang Shan raised his eyebrows and slightly increased the volume of his voice.
Qin Wuya giggled. “How is that possible? Making money is my main idea.
However … “As long as there’s a chance, we will need people to watch the show. When I send my men out, you can send troops and support people to earn money.”
“You sure know how to plan things. Are you using the brother in my hands as a lackey? Zhang Shan chuckled.
“Hands? These words were not nice. “I am in the midst of a serious business deal. I have hired a bodyguard, a bodyguard, and a bodyguard to keep the business and the customers safe. How can you say that I am a fighter?” Qin Wuya picked the tail of his eye, and smiled like a cunning fox.
“Are you going to pay my men to start work?” Zhang Shan continued to ask with a smile.
“Don’t worry, favors are favors, while business is business. As long as your people can keep an eye on the scene, the cost of watching the scene will definitely not be low. ” Qin Wuya squinted her eyes, then asked: “Do you still have other brothers under you who are going to do the private salt business?”
The color in Zhang Shan’s eyes slightly changed, but after a while, he still nodded his head.
“Without Qing Gang’s backing, you actually have a way to get your own private salt?” Although he was already prepared, but seeing Zhang Shan nod his head, Qin Wuya was still a little surprised.
“What do you think Xu San is going to the Jiao Province for?” Zhang Shan lowered his voice and said: “To the east of the Jiao Province, there are many places that are dried up. There are government salt and private salt, even if there is no sea freight, it would still be the same.”
“Don’t tell me you have a ship?” Qin Wuya opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
“There are two, but not in my name.” Zhang Shan chuckled, “Why do you want to go out to sea?”
“No, I’m seasick.” Qin Wuya grinned and shook his head.
Zhang Shan frowned slightly, seasickness? That day, the water chestnut lake did not seem to have …
“Let’s stop talking, I’m sleepy.” Qin Wuya shook off Zhang Shan’s arms as he said as he walked, “I have to get up early tomorrow.”
“The first moon hasn’t come out, so the mountain shouldn’t be touched. What are you doing up early?” Zhang Shan shook his head helplessly and covered Qin Wuya’s blanket, then turned and donned the robes.
Qin Wuya was startled: “What, you’re still going out so late?”
“There are some matters I need to take care of at anterior chamber. You should go to sleep early, I might not be coming back tonight.” Zhang Shan nodded.
The door was covered, and a moment later, the room was silent once again. Qin Wuya raised her head, and looked at the candle on the window, which was flickering.
Did I overdo it?
On the second morning, Qin Wuya got up, washed up, and ate some porridge. Seeing that Zhang Shan was still not back, he sent Fu Xi to bring porridge and snacks to anterior chamber.
After approximately an hour, Fu Xi returned from anterior chamber and said: “Madam, the boss has requested that you also deliver some food for lunch.”
“What is it? You’re not done yet? ” Qin Wuya frowned slightly.
Fu Xi nodded his head: “When I went in to send the porridge just now, Military Advisor He, Brother Xu San and the Sixth Brother Fang Da were all there.
“Then you can go to Kitchen and prepare with Aunt Cai.” Qin Wuya thought about it.
Fu Xi nodded his head and asked again, “Then, Madame, are you not going to the Bookshop?”
“Go, how can I not go? I will wait for Fu Zhi to go with me.” After he finished speaking, Qin Wuya took out a pair of kneecaps made of a piece of leather and said to Fu Xi, “Take this to Cai mama. Let her remember to bring it along with her. It’s good for Old Han’s legs.”
“Yes.” Then I will go and call Fu Xi over for Madam. ”
Seeing Fu Xi going out, Qin Wuya changed into a set of clothes in the house that were convenient for him to wear, and took out some silver coins. Just as she closed the door and walked out of the house, she saw Fu Zhi running out excitedly: “Madam, are you bringing me out onto the street?”
Qin Wuya chuckled, she knew that this girl probably thought that she had brought her to slip away.
The Clear Water Town was located in the Zhenxi, it was not very big, but it had been around for a while now, and there were quite a few books here. At least, the students of the Clear Water Town were all happy to show that they had nothing better to do, so even if they did not buy all of them, it would still be very elegant.
The reason why Qin Wuya went to the Bookshop to look for books today was naturally not because she wanted to follow the elegance, but because she wanted to look for information on the Heavy dry grape and Mountain Pear Tree next spring. Although Qin Wuya did not really hope for this kind of book that could be found in the Bookshop and could not be combined with her own needs, it was true that the dry grape was considered a useless wild fruit in the Clear Water Town and could not even be considered as a wild fruit.
However, even if there was no Rosaceae like the dry grape, records of the planting methods of the Semen Scoliae should be able to find some other books on Lirong.
After all, the Grand Dynasty was a dynasty that paid a lot of attention to agriculture. Even if most scholars only studied saint’s poetry before the Imperial Examinations, once they became parents, they would have to make up for some of the local farming books.
There were even corrective officers who would go down to work with local farmers and then write down their problems and solutions as books. It could be considered a form of political achievement.
And today, Gu Qin Wuya was looking for farmers related to the cultivation of Cloud Prefecture’s soil. After all, even if she had reincarnated, Qin Wuya only had a small understanding of agriculture, and not long after the new year, it would be spring, so Qin Wuya had no choice but to make more preparations.
The Bookshop was called Bookshop Chao Yang, the names sounded modern, but Qin Wuya knew that this place definitely did not belong to the people of the Chao Yang District. The owner of Bookshop was a middle-aged man who looked like he started out thirty years ago. He wore a long gown and had a square handkerchief on his head.
Obviously, the other party did not expect that there would be women who would enter the Bookshop to look for books. When they saw Qin Wuya and Fu Xi enter the shop, they were startled for a moment, but they did not say anything.
There were many people in Bookshop now, but since they were all scholars, there was no commotion. There were only the soft sounds of footsteps and the rustling of books.
Qin Wuya saw that there was a gap on the left side of the store, she told Fu Zhi to go there and wait for him, while she walked towards the side of the store.
Bookshop’s door was not big, but the diameter was very deep, it was clear that the shop had been directly opened up, and in the backyard, there was another building connected to it.
The two sides of the bed were made up of wooden shelves that reached to the ceiling. In addition, the books were neatly arranged in a row on each side. There were also bamboo slips and cloth scrolls. Of course, there weren’t that many.
The Grand Dynasty’s library was similar to the one in the Song Dynasty, it was different from the one in Xinhua Bookstore later on, because most of the Bookshop were related to the Shangguan Family, and they not only sold new books, but also recorded old books.
After all, during this period, books and books were a relatively expensive luxury item. Even those families that could afford books and books would carefully maintain them after purchasing them and passing them on to their children.
Therefore, although the Bookshop was not big and the furnishings inside were simple and did not seem to be of much value, in truth, all of the books that were connected to the walls of two houses were all made of silver.
Although the words sounded a little tacky, but it was also true. It was likely that there were a lot of shops on the streets that were jealous of this Bookshop’s boss.
Of course, they were just jealous. No one would be stupid enough to look for trouble, and even more so, no one would want to start a business.
Even the first ordinary merchant could not gather that much money and connections to set up so many books, and as for the second, everyone who had some common sense knew that there was a Shangguan Family behind the Bookshop, without any connections and identity, they might not even be able to make it.
However, all of these things had nothing to do with Qin Wuya right now. Qin Wuya could only follow the markings on the side of the bookshelf and search to the innermost corner of the bookshelf.
It was a pity that even when Qin Wuya walked to the side of Bookshop, she could not find the book she wanted even when she was about to bump into the cotton curtain on the side of the door.
Fortunately, Qin Wuya was not discouraged, as she had just finished putting on her airs, and there were still two more shelves, maybe she would want them.
Seeing that there were no other people around, Qin Wuya moved her neck, which was sore from looking up at the bookshelf for too long, and continued to move forward on the other side of the wall.
But when he saw Qin Wuya, he started to think about something else.
Should he really find two secretaries?
Fu Zhi and were good friends, but they couldn’t read at all, even if they went to look for someone to teach them, they would not be able to do so for the time being.
If he had a literate person by his side, not only would he be able to keep track of trivial accounts, he wouldn’t have to go out for half a day just to look for something like this.
Of course, Qin Wuya knew that it was not easy to find a suitable secretary these days.
It was not because there were very few people who were rich and needed money to read poetry books these days. In fact, even within Clear Water Town, there were many of these people who could read poetry books, but it was also because there were very few women among these people.
