This was good news for Zhao Jing.
The sooner he printed it, the sooner he could plan his next step.
With that thought in mind, he decided not to take out his second manuscript for the time being.
The shopkeeper of that book said excitedly,"Young Master Zhao, my old master said that starting tomorrow, he will let our storyteller speak a few times at Chaoyang Restaurant.”
"I'll also promote this book."
"The book will be officially released in three days.”
Chaoyang Restaurant was the largest restaurant in the city and also the property of Minister Liu's family.
Zhao Jing didn't expect there to be so many marketing methods in ancient times.
If he had spoken a few times in such a popular place, his book would definitely sell even better.
However, his manuscripts were bought out directly, so how much he sold for had nothing to do with him.
At most, he would be able to sell the second volume at a higher price.
The shopkeeper gave Zhao Jing an invitation.
As long as he showed this invitation, he would be able to read books in Chaoyang Restaurant for free for the next three days.
Zhao Jing gladly accepted.
This was just right. He would bring the little girl out of town in two days and bring her to listen to a storytelling.
"Young Master Zhao, would you mind leaving your address?"”
"If there are any problems with the manuscript, I can send someone to find you.”
"Of course, our Zhuo Ying Pavilion will definitely keep your identity a secret!”
People who sold manuscripts would hide their identities because they were afraid of being ridiculed by other scholars.
However, when the shopkeeper thought that Zhao Jing still had the second and third scrolls, he had no choice but to pay more attention to them.
Leaving behind an address also gave them an additional guarantee.
Zhao Jing thought for a moment. This Zhuo Ying Pavilion was indeed kind.
He also intended to do business with him a few more times.
There was no harm in leaving behind some information.
Zhao Jing bowed according to his memory and said,"That's easy. I'm from the Zhao Family Village. My name is Zhao Jing.”
"Zhao Jing!"
The shopkeeper felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
However, he didn't think of it for a moment. He only nodded and returned the bow.
"Young Master Zhao is a great talent. This old man's surname is Zhang, and the people in the city call me Shopkeeper Zhang.”
After exchanging their names, Zhao Jing prepared to leave.
He still had to go to the street to buy meat and bring back some cloth.
When they arrived at the meat stall, the butcher saw that it was a good-looking young man who came to buy meat. His attitude was very good.
"Young man, what do you want to buy?"
Zhao Jing thought for a moment and bought a piece of streaky pork and a piece of pure fat meat.
He took the fatty meat back to fry it with pork fat, and cooked the pork belly directly.
"It's a total of 78 wen."
This was probably only enough for two or three meals of pork, but it cost Zhao Jing 78 wen.
"Ancient meat is still expensive!"
Zhao Jing paid while feeling the pain.
After buying the meat, he went to the cloth shop and pulled out some cloth.
After buying everything, Zhao Jing once again carried a basket full of things home.
......
"An 'an?"
Zhao Jing called out, but there was no girl who came out to welcome him as usual.
"Could it be that he went to the river to wash clothes again?”
Zhao Jing looked at the sky. There was probably no one by the river now.
Zhao Jing remembered that the little girl had been getting along well with his aunt these past few days, so he went to look for his uncle.
He put down his things in the house and took out a bag of brown sugar from his basket. Then, he went straight to Zhao Youtian's house.
Zhao Wengao had already set off for the Academy. Zhao Youtian was the only one in the house.
"Jing 'er, why are you here?"
Zhao Youtian welcomed Zhao Jing into the house and personally poured him some tea.
Zhao Jing smiled and handed the brown sugar over.
"I just bought this in the city to satisfy my brothers and sisters.”
Other than Zhao Wengao, Zhao Youtian had three other children.
One of the older ones was a shopkeeper in the city and had settled down in the city.
There were also two younger ones who were only about ten years old.
Zhao Youtian looked at the bag of brown sugar and sighed.""When did you become so polite at First Uncle's house?”
"This isn't etiquette," Zhao Jing quickly said.”
"This is for my younger brothers and sisters.”
Zhao Youtian smiled when he saw Zhao Jing's anxious expression and accepted the bag of candies.
"Alright, I'll accept this candy. Next time I bring something over, I won't accept anything.”
Zhao Jing agreed. He looked around and realized that his aunt was not at home.
"Did First Aunt go out?"
"Yes, the geography crops will be harvested in the next few days.”
"Your auntie will bring some workers over to take a look.”
Zhao Youtian's family had nearly 20 Mu of land.
It was definitely impossible for him and the Li Consortium to collect all of them.
Therefore, every year, they would hire two short-term workers to help them harvest the crops.
"By the way, your husband also followed her there. He said that he wanted to see where your family's fields are.”
"It's good to go and take a look.”
"But Jing 'er, don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to help you reclaim your land.”
Zhao Jing didn't refuse and thanked Zhao Youtian with a smile.
Although he knew a lot of things, he was not very proficient in farming.
Hearing that the little girl had gone to the fields, Zhao Jing was no longer worried.
After the two of them talked for a while, Zhao Jing finally revealed his true purpose for coming here.
"Uncle, did you see Lin Anan's mother when you went to Lin Family Village last time?”
"But what happened?" Zhao Youtian asked, stunned.”
Zhao Jing told her about Lin Anan's mother's illness.
Then, he vaguely mentioned what happened today.
Zhao Youtian frowned when he heard this.
"That day when we went there, we didn't see Lin Anan's mother, Lu Shi, whom you mentioned.”
"He's probably still sick in bed, so he can't get up.”
"This Lin Qingshan is really unreasonable!”
"This matter was originally his fault as the head of the family, but he actually pushed the responsibility to others.”
"There's a scholar in his family who doesn't care about his reputation at all!”
Although they were angry, they could not do anything about it.
After all, this was someone else's family matter.
"Jing 'er," said Zhao Youtian.
"Others can't care about these things. It's best not to think too much about it.”
"Moreover, Lin Qingshan is already so old. If he really divorces his wife, it's still unknown what kind of woman he will marry in the future.”
"He will have his own considerations."
Zhao Jing was silent for a while before saying,"Uncle, can you get someone to help you find out about the Lu Corporation?"”
"If she really gets seriously ill and is chased out, we can help her, right?”
Zhao Youtian didn't really want to care about the Lin Family Village.
However, since Zhao Jing had asked, he reluctantly agreed.
"Alright, leave this matter to uncle.”
"You should quickly revise your homework these two days, in case you can't answer a single question when you visit the Headmaster.”
"Don't worry, Uncle. We won't embarrass the Zhao family." Zhao Jing smiled.”
"Brat, it's not a good thing to be overconfident." Zhao Youtian laughed.”
Zhao Jing smiled at him and didn't explain much.
Sitting down, Zhao Jing's ears were sharp. He heard Consort Li's voice coming from outside the door.
There seemed to be a little girl's voice mixed in.
Zhao Jing stood up and bid farewell to Zhao Youtian.
Zhao Youtian walked him out of the door and saw Consort Li carrying a hoe, asking Lin Anan to go back quickly.
"Eldest Aunt."
Zhao Jing called out, attracting their attention.
"Jing 'er is here?" Consort Li replied.
"It's getting late. Both of you should go back.”
Zhao Youtian immediately made the decision, and the Li Consortium did not keep the two of them.
Lin Anan, who was standing next to Madame Lee, looked at Zhao Jing with bright eyes.
When Zhao Jing walked to her side, she looked up and called out softly,""Husband."
"Yes."
Zhao Jing saw that her little face was flushed red from the sun, and her forehead and sideburns were drenched in sweat.
"Aren't we going to see where the fields are? Why is it so hot?"
Lin Anan smiled and said,""We haven't started harvesting the crops in our fields yet.”
"However, the third granny in the neighboring field was harvesting crops, so I helped her for a while.”
She raised her left hand, and Zhao Jing saw that her small hand was holding two crisp cucumbers.
"This is from Third Aunt. You can mix it with cucumbers for husband to eat tonight.”
"Then our Anan's cucumber salad must be delicious," Zhao Jing said with a smile.”
"I think so too," Lin Anan whispered.
Zhao Jing smiled and couldn't help but rub her face.
Little kid, did you grow up eating cupid?
