Su Yu won the case this time in the court examination. He will definitely go back to the village to worship his ancestors.
After worshiping their ancestors, they had to start organizing his wedding to Gu Changle.
The relationship between the two has developed to this point and is already very close.
This is the right time to hold a wedding and have a formal ceremony.
After finishing these things, he would return to Fucheng, enroll in a Fucheng school, and have a good source of income.
Now that the bookstore business is as booming as expected, Su Yu finally doesn't have to worry about money anymore.
Su Yu was happy, and Gu Changle was naturally happy too.
She took Su Yu's pressure seriously during this period.
Gu Changle thought it was nothing and gave Su Yu the greatest help possible.
But there are many things that only Su Yu understands.
Even if Gu Changle is omnipotent, there are some areas where he cannot help.
At least for technical things and Su Yu's studies, Gu Changle couldn't replace him.
She smiled and said: "Grandpa is not in a hurry for money."
"The old man has a lot of money hidden away, so he's not in a hurry for a few dozen taels."
"Now that the bookstore business is good, we should save the money to improve the bookstore's management."
What Gu Changle said made sense, but Su Yu seemed a little impatient.
"You're right," he agreed.
"The business of the bookstore is good, and grandpa's money will be repaid sooner or later."
"It doesn't matter if it takes a month or two."
"When we come back from the village, I need to buy a book boy, and the store also needs two more guys to help the printer."
"We also need to increase the number of clerks in the store."
Moreover, the production quantity must be increased, and various costs will increase accordingly.
When he has more money, Su Yu also wants to expand the bookstore.
If it's further away, it's still a long way to open a branch and sell to other places.
But it’s not impossible to think about it.
When you think about it, money is spent everywhere.
Sure enough, the more you earn, the more you have to spend.
Unless his business model is completely mature, the higher the revenue, the higher the costs will be.
But no matter what, Su Yu is already very satisfied with this sales situation.
"By the way, you, as the painter, also take a lot of credit."
"I also have to give you a salary."
In addition to technology and business plans, bookstore matters require thinking.
Gu Changle is basically taking care of the rest.
Not to mention, she is also the royal painter of the bookstore.
It can be said that Gu Changle is the biggest contributor to the bookstore.
Gu Changle smiled lightly and said, "Huh? Give me some wages?"
"Then I wonder how much you want to prescribe for me, Tao Dao-kun?"
"If the salary is too cheap, you can't afford to hire me."
When he said the last sentence, Gu Changle's tone was filled with obvious pride.
Her business acumen and management skills, as well as her painting skills, are really beyond the reach of ordinary wages.
"Well...my lady is right."
Su Yu felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
In the end, he could only decide: "It seems like we can't afford the wages."
"I can only hand over all the revenue from the bookstore to my wife, and let her spend it however I want."
"I just hope that you can give me some pocket money every month, so that I can buy you some desserts when I see them on the way home from school."
Gu Changle was amused by Su Yu's words, and his handsome eyebrows curved up.
"Okay, I'll give you one hundred cents a month."
"I will keep all the remaining money myself."
Business was going on in full swing outside, but the two of them had their own little world inside.
...
By noon, the bookstore was not as crowded as it was in the morning.
But there are still many people who come here.
Those who helped could only go to the back in batches to eat.
Su Yu asked people to buy a lot of good food from a nearby restaurant and bring it back for working meals so that everyone could eat and drink before continuing to work.
Li Sanlang briefly discussed the morning's revenue with Su Yu.
"There are not many scripts left. Although there is still some inventory, the workshop has to continue production in the past two days."
"We still have some beauty notes in stock, but we have to produce another batch in two days."
The two brothers, Lu Fang and Lu Yuan, have been working overtime recently.
Although Su Yu gave them a lot of rewards, no matter how much money they had, their bodies were not made of iron.
These two people have been feeling quite tired when they go to work every day recently.
Su Yu nodded and said, "I asked them to find two apprentices to come and help. You can also help with the search in the past two days."
"If it's good, then stay and pay them some wages."
Li Sanlang said yes.
He, a shopkeeper, had been shouting all morning, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Su Yu added, "Your throat feels uncomfortable. If you need to shout tomorrow, you can give some to others to shout at."
"By the way, let me buy some herbs to soothe the throat tomorrow and come back to cook some."
Li Sanlang said happily: "Thank you for your understanding, boss. I know."
After saying that, he took out his notebook again, licked the tip of the pen, and wrote down what Su Yu said.
Su Yu took a look.
It seemed that although he was holding a small notebook in his hand, he could still read clearly what he wrote.
Although Li Sanlang is young, he looks even smaller.
But after working for a while, Su Yu felt that he was a pretty good person.
He learns things quickly, his senses are quite sharp, and his understanding ability is also top-notch.
Basically, whatever he said, he could understand what he meant in one go.
Some are really complex and only need a brief explanation.
The last time Su Yu was impressed by his ability was Gu Changle himself.
After taking care of the things in the store, Su Yucai and Gu Changle went home, ready to step up their efforts to deal with the matters at hand.
Gu Changle still has two new pictures of beauties to complete, and Su Yu also has two new story books that he has not yet finished.
After returning home, the house was quiet, and Old Man Gu was not there.
However, Old Man Gu always likes to wander around, so it is normal to be away from home.
So Su Yu didn't think anything.
The young couple occupied a table in the study room and began to do their own work.
...
At this time, Old Man Gu was drinking tea served by the servants of Zhang Xuezheng's family.
The servants of the Zhang Mansion were a little curious when they saw this simple old man being received by their master like a distinguished guest.
Zhang Xuezheng was also a little surprised by this sudden visitor.
Previously, they found themselves using the back door, but now in their eyes, they not only opened the back door for them, but even removed the door panels.
Old man Gu came over to ask about the situation, which was normal.
But with Gu Fangxu's status, Zhang Xuezheng was a little surprised that he was so interested in a peasant boy who had nothing to do with Gu Fangxu before.
Old Man Gu took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, old man, I came here specifically to thank you."
Su Yu not only passed the college examination, but even got first place.
Although Old Man Gu has some doubts about this matter, he can't say it directly.
After all, this kind of behind-the-scenes operation is difficult to discuss openly.
If he really did this, I'm afraid Zhang Xuezheng, a civil servant, wouldn't even give him face and would just throw him away.
Zhang Xuezheng's mood was a little complicated.
Thank you for what?
What's there to thank you for?
Can he say that he actually accomplished nothing?
"Your Majesty, there is no need to say thank you. In fact, I have not done anything to help you."
