The short stories of the Thirty-Six Strategies in the picture book are very simple. It didn't take Luo Changqing long to read them. Every story is interesting, and the interpretation of the Thirty-Six Strategies is also correct and reasonable. Therefore, Xu Shichu himself This picture book is actually much easier to understand than those books on the market that introduce the Thirty-six Strategies in a straight-forward manner. At least it can be used as an enlightenment book for young children who are just learning to read.
So when Xu Shichu washed up and came in, Luo Changqing took the picture book and said to her excitedly: "Have you ever thought about publishing this picture book? There should be many parents buying it for their children. Children’s story enlightenment.”
Xu Shichu took the picture book and found that he had drawn it casually for Xiao Zhaozhao to see when he was bored, so he said: "This is just a random drawing by me, and I made up the short story according to my own understanding. In case I am as serious as you." The explanations in the books are different, wouldn't it be misleading? Moreover, my painting is also a bit rough."
Luo Changqing said: "I just finished reading this book and found no mistakes. Although these paintings have some flaws, they do not affect understanding. Even because of the bright and excellent color combinations and the consistent expressions of the characters, Clear drawing skills are more likely to be liked by young children."
"Is it really that good?" Xu Shichu even doubted whether Luo Changqing was complimenting him.
"Of course, books are things that convey knowledge after all. I am also a literati and understand how important this is, so you can rest assured that I will not praise you indiscriminately just to please you. So this book you wrote It's really good, and it should sell well when published." Luo Changqing said sincerely.
"That's it, then I will consider it. If it is really published, I will re-check and correct it to try not to waste others." Xu Shichu said, she owns a Houji Bookstore, and she will publish one or two hundred books first and put them in the bookstore. Sell it, and then see how it goes. If it sells well, add more copies. If it doesn't sell well, you won't lose much.
Thinking of this, Xu Shichu felt that publishing this "comic" was indeed a good idea, so she was particularly pleased with Luo Changqing.
Luo Changqing looked at her with an extraordinarily complex look and sighed: "You are really an impressive woman. You have worked hard to acquire talents even when you were treated so harshly. It's a pity that you have to keep a low profile and bide your time. Unable to use your talents... If Uncle Ningyuan's Mansion hadn't delayed you for twenty years, you would have already become famous in the capital."
No, no, Xu Shichu thought to himself, I didn’t learn this talent in Uncle Ning Yuan’s Mansion. You think too highly of me. In a hell on earth like Uncle Ning Yuan’s Mansion, I will only breed cowardly, incompetent, and serial-minded people like the original owner. Poor people who don’t even know how to save themselves.
But there is no need to say these words to Luo Changqing. If she was still like the original owner, who couldn't hold up the wall with mud, Luo Changqing wouldn't even say a word to her. Wasn't that the original owner's life?
Thinking of this, Xu Shichu looked at Luo Changqing with displeasure and said, "Master, it's getting dark, why don't you go back? I just came back from traveling abroad and am a little tired, so I won't leave you to eat."
Luo Changqing opened his mouth, looked at Xu Shichu and Du Zhao who were waiting to see him off, and finally swallowed his unspoken words and left here in silence.
Xu Shichu ignored his complicated thoughts and immediately ordered his servants to prepare the meal.
Although she practices martial arts and is energetic, she is not an iron person after all. After riding in a carriage all day, it would be surprising if she is not tired. She needs to eat well and go to bed early so that she can be energetic tomorrow.
After resting for a few days and completely regaining her energy, Xu Shichu began to take care of the business in several stores. After another busy half month, she finished her business affairs and had free time.
The painting book that Luo Changqing suggested she publish before was the first edition, which was relatively rough. Xu Shichu decided to publish it, so he had to rewrite it, corrected some flaws, and worked harder on the paintings. After all, he had to face the If you publish it for the general public, you have to be responsible, and you can't be as casual as the ones that were only shown to Xiao Zhaozhao before.
This busy work lasted another month. Xu Shichu finally delivered the manuscript to the bookstore for publication. He then learned that Luo Yaqing ran back to her parents' house crying to complain that the maid who had secretly had a secret affair with Zhou Wencun in Chen Cang was several months pregnant. He hid it from everyone and waited until his belly was full before he revealed it.
So Princess Shunyi used the excuse that Luo Yaqing had not been pregnant for several years and decided to keep the maid's child and not allow Luo Yaqing to do anything to the girl.
Luo Yaqing could not bear this blow, so she had no choice but to go back to her parents' home to ask her father for help.
What can Luo Changqing do? He had previously suggested that his daughter find a suitable time to get rid of the maid, but unfortunately, her daughter lost her head after being coaxed by Zhou Wencun's sweet words and actually kept the maid. So now it is too late to regret that she has raised a tiger.
Luo Changqing now has nothing to say to his daughter. As the prime minister of a country, he should be concerned about the people of the world and national affairs. However, he is facing his daughter's tears now and can only endure to deal with her nonsense. The matter in the back house made him irritated.
As the saying goes, if you raise a child for a hundred years, you will have ninety-nine worries. Luo Changqing finally understood the meaning of this saying.
In order to avoid these bad things, he came to Xu Shichu's yard again.
I don't know since when, this place seems to have become his paradise and sheltered alley. It seems that here, those troubles will not follow him - of course, as soon as he goes out, he will naturally have to face bad things again.
"Why are you here again?" Xu Shichu was also a little annoyed. Luo Changqing came more and more frequently. She would not feel honored, only troubled.
She disliked him for disturbing her peace, but she was under the eaves and the land belonged to the prime minister's house, so Xu Shichu could only endure it.
But if Luo Changqing continues like this, she will consider buying a house of her own and moving out.
"Don't you really want to see me?" Luo Changqing asked with an unhappy expression.
Xu Shichu glanced at him: "I thought you knew."
Luo Changqing choked and could only change the subject: "Qing'er and her husband are about to become enemies because of the maid thing. Is there anything you can do?"
Xu Shichu heard this and looked at him in surprise: "Are you asking me?"
Luo Changqing nodded: "You are a woman, maybe you have a solution to this kind of thing?"
Xu Shichu sneered and said: "I can't do anything about my husband getting another woman pregnant. After all, I have never encountered it. You are asking the wrong person."
"Also, have you forgotten? You told me specifically not to interfere with your son or daughter's affairs, but now you come to me?"
Luo Changqing obviously also remembered his warning to Xu Shichu, and his face turned green and white.
