Father Xue was very leisurely today. He walked around the streets and alleys of Xiu Shanfang with a newspaper in hand, familiarizing himself with all the corners that he had never walked through on weekdays.
I met a slightly familiar person with a newspaper in his hand and asked, "How did you know that my daughter is the editor-in-chief of Shan Poster?"
The person who was asked looked at a loss, "I don't know!"
He reacted quickly and opened the newspaper and took a look. Sure enough, the end of the newspaper was marked "Editor-in-Chief: Xue Zhenrui".
This neighbor didn't know the name of the Xue family's young lady, but the surname was the same, and Xue's father said so, so it must be true.
The young lady of the Xue family is so capable, but she doesn’t see it on ordinary days!
In his impression, this little lady loved to gossip with the old ladies on the streets. Has the change been so big now?
The neighbor was shocked, but it was impossible to ask. He would still say what he said in the scene.
"My dear wife, Zhilan Xin, has such good fortune at such a young age. She has a promising future! If she marries into a wealthy family in the future, Mr. Xue will also enjoy the blessings!"
Xue's father has completely changed his mind. Now he doesn't want to marry off his daughter at all. Even if he becomes a wife, ordinary people will look down upon her. The disciple doesn’t insist on it, at least he must be as talented and famous as his Zhenniang.
Of course, this is just his inner thought. Father Xue cherishes feathers very much now and will never ruin his daughter's reputation by talking nonsense.
He waved his hands and said modestly: "Praise after award, this little girl can't stand the praise for her film. Thanks to everyone's love for Yueming, she is where she is today."
Then there was another false and casual boast, which made the neighbor nod repeatedly.
The neighbor looked at the newspaper and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Xue Langjun, how can the young lady's name be printed in a place like this? It's not good for outsiders to see it."
How can the name of the boudoir's daughter be known to outsiders? !
When Xue's father heard what he said, he suddenly realized this, but how could he admit it? After calming down, he said: "I don't know, Mr. Lang, what is the purpose of writing an article? Of course it is talent." Otherwise, why would those scholars care about your name? If you don’t write your name on it, how will others know who you are?"
The neighbor had a blind spot in knowledge. He really didn't understand the things about talented people and famous people, so he was said to be confused. It made sense when I heard it, and I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Xue's father took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Even if your daughter's family is on someone else's territory, you have to act according to their rules, right?"
He then sighed: "Besides, common people like us are no better than the gentry. Even if we only write down the surname ranking, people will understand it at a glance. We who are just digging in the soil, even if we write down the eighteenth generation of our ancestors, others will not understand. I recognize it!”
These words made the neighbors feel the same. They nodded repeatedly and felt sad.
Xue's father made some random pleasantries and hurried away, fearing that the neighbor would come to his senses and ask some questions that he couldn't answer.
.
Xu Chengyue, who was praised by Jian Hang as not seeking fame and wealth but serving the country and the people, is settling accounts.
After a period of busyness, she finally relaxed as the first newspaper got off to a good start.
Xu Chengyue's busy work was not in vain. She was the one who proposed the newspaper. She personally guided and checked every subsequent link, teaching Xue Zhenrui step by step how to be a qualified newspaper editor. She was the one who wrote the first headline. The fact that the newspaper was so well-purchased was all thanks to her, and she deserved a share of the newspaper's profits.
During this time, money flowed into her pocket like running water. Although the profit of newspapers is not high, the profit is small but quick turnover, and the income during the accumulation period is quite considerable.
It is difficult to say, Xu Chengyue is not a person who likes extravagance. In her previous life, she did not buy expensive cosmetics or luxury goods. The most common clothes in her clothes were pajamas - pajamas are very important for a stay-at-home girl. Her monthly expenses All are maintained at the minimum level to maintain the quality of life, and the rest are deposited in banks to combat the depreciation caused by inflation.
Now that he has come to the Tang Dynasty, he has become what others call a very extravagant person. The last time he accidentally complained to Lu Hongzhuo that he was about to run out of money, he made a shocked inquiry.
After she answered truthfully, the other party showed an expression of disbelief that she must be a noblewoman who escaped from some wealthy family.
Xu Chengyue was angry for some reason, but she really had no choice. The material resources of the Tang Dynasty were low, and she only maintained the minimum quality of life. She did not buy hairpin rings, jewelry, silks and satins, and all kinds of expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation were just a waste. Generally speaking, it would be nice to have some extra money every month.
Fortunately, the cart of silk silk sent by Zheng Guogong last time made her financially relaxed a lot, and she did not have to rack her brains to arrange monthly expenditures.
But it was an unexpected windfall, and I didn’t know when it would be spent. It was more reliable to get the money I earned with my own hands.
The sales of newspapers and novels formed a positive cycle, allowing Xu Chengyue's monthly income to at least double.
Looking at the amount of money she was about to receive, she couldn't help but be happy.
Today I am going to laugh my head off at Shanhai Bookstore.
After she was happy, she calmed down her expression and became the calm and elegant Mrs. Xu again.
Today's matters have been dealt with and she is ready to go back.
When I walked out of the door, I heard the name of the newspaper editor's office - Xu Chengyue. Inside, the shopkeeper was chatting with Xue Zhenrui.
She didn't intend to eavesdrop, but by chance the two people were talking to her.
I heard the shopkeeper's exaggerated tone, "When I raised my eyes, I saw a graceful and graceful young lady standing in front of the counter..."
The shopkeeper narrated the story of her first visit to Shanhai Bookstore in an embellished way, describing Xu Chengyue as a mysterious goddess from heaven and earth. In order to make the story more twists and turns, he also tried to describe himself as a villain-like figure. , and Lu Langjun is a Bole who has a sharp eye and knows pearls.
Xue Zhenrui and his supporters kept shouting out in surprise.
The shopkeeper had rich expressions, sometimes painful, sometimes ashamed. At the end of the sentence, he sighed again, "...that's why Shanhai Bookstore is what it is today!"
Xu Chengyue's eyebrows flew up when she heard this.
"Ahem." When Lu Hongzhuo came over and heard this, he felt embarrassed in front of Xu Chengyue, so he interrupted.
It was quiet for a moment, and then after a burst of noise, the two people came out.
The shopkeeper looked guilty and didn't dare to look at her.
Xue Zhenrui was so excited by what the shopkeeper said, her cheeks were red, her eyes were shining brightly as she looked at Xu Chengyue, and she was about to utter a word of admiration as soon as she opened her mouth.
Xu Chengyue knew what she wanted to say without having to guess. Although she liked to hear compliments from others, it was better not to do it in front of everyone.
He hurriedly interrupted: "Ms. Xue, you are just getting started now, so you may not be very skilled. If you need anything, just ask me."
Xue Zhenrui was beaten when she was about to speak out her words. After a moment of confusion, her eyes showed emotion again. Mrs. Xu was so kind to her. How could she be as good as such a senior?
In her heart, she regards Xu Chengyue as her master, and she will definitely honor her in the future and provide for her until her death.
There happened to be something, Xue Zhenrui said: "Ms. Xu, there is indeed something. Among the submissions received today, there are several related to the book you wrote. I don't know whether it should be published in the newspaper. I can't make up my mind. "
"What's the problem? Let me see for you." Xu Chengyue didn't know that she had a daughter about the same age as her. She just wanted to escape from this embarrassing situation and responded hurriedly.
