"Master Le, what do you think? Do you want to write it?"
Although the Minister of Works asked this question, he had already reached a conclusion in his mind.
"Write." Le Yezhou nodded. "This is a lot of money."
"What interests me is her commission method. If I write a book, I will be paid according to the word count. If the book sells well, I will also receive corresponding payment for each copy sold."
"This is simply giving me money."
Le Yezhou sighed, "It seems that there was no such bookstore in the capital before. This bookstore must have just opened."
This is probably the first time the boss is doing this kind of business, so the treatment is so good.
If they were some old employers, they would definitely not offer such generous conditions.
However, this is convenient for him.
He wouldn't feel embarrassed, as he felt his talent was worth that much money.
Le Yezhou started writing the book that night. After several days, he finally finished the first part and asked someone to send it to the capital as quickly as possible.
Yuchi Xi's bookstore also opened, and she named it: Kou Shi Bookstore.
Named after mother's surname.
Yuchi Xi herself did not go to cut the ribbon. She asked Yuchi Yanchen to go instead. Yuchi Yanchen was afraid that his face would scare away the little princess's customers. He was wearing a veil, which covered his face, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed.
Yuchi Xi watched from afar and thought to himself.
[Good boy, the second male lead is watching over me. The plot is so broken that I don’t know what the next direction will be.]
Yuchi Xi asked Jing Huaian, "Brother Jing, have those officials replied to my letter?"
Jing Huaian shook his head, "No one replied."
"But there was an interesting letter delivered."
Jing Huaian handed the letter to Yuchi Xi. He checked every letter he gave to Yuchi Xi because he was worried that there might be poison needles or something hidden in the letter.
Naturally, I saw the content inside.
Interesting letter?
Yuchi Xi unfolded it curiously and chuckled, "It's really interesting!"
This was a letter of self-recommendation from the daughter of the president of the Hanlin Academy. Her daughter said that she was willing to come to the library to write a book and hoped that she would agree. There was also a piece of paper in the envelope, which contained a short story she had written, and it happened to hit the key point.
You know what, it’s really well written.
Yuchi Xi, "That's her! I'll ask Brother Yan Chen to contact her for me later."
"Call her over."
Jing Huaian pursed his lips when he heard this and said, "Actually, I can also contact her."
"What does the little princess want to say to her? I can convey it."
For some reason, he just wanted to compete with Yuchi Yanchen for the job.
Yuchi Xi thought about it and felt that it was okay. After all, Brother Yan Chen was still very busy and couldn't spare the time in a short time, and she didn't want to make the young lady wait too long.
"Then please ask Brother Jing to tell her for me, just say..."
Yuchi Xi told him about the welfare benefits and other things, and asked him to inform the young lady.
"good."
Jing Huaian took note of it, turned around and left to do his business.
He knew that the secret guard was right next to Yuchi Xi, so he was not worried about her safety.
Jing Huaian went to the Meng Mansion and met Meng Qiaoqing. He did not report to anyone, but went directly to her yard.
Meng Qiaoqing was cutting flowers in the yard. When she saw him, she was surprised for a moment and quickly saluted, "Master Jing."
This person is the personal guard of Her Royal Highness the Little Princess, so she naturally has to salute when she sees him.
Jing Huaian was stunned for a moment. He had never met Meng Qiaoqing before, and he didn't expect that she would recognize him.
Meng Qiaoqing seemed to know what he was thinking. "I'm honored to have met the little princess from afar. Naturally, I've also met you."
Jing Huaian nodded and signaled her to send the maidservant away first.
She quickly asked the maids to leave first, and then she spoke, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Jing Huaian, "I came here to tell you that Kou Shi Shu Wu wants you to be a writer. You can come up with a pen name of your own and then continue writing your unfinished story. Start by serializing this one."
"As for how your wages will be settled, it's like this..."
Jing Huaian said everything Yuchi Xi asked him to say. Meng Qiaoqing was shocked after hearing it. "Wait, what you mean is... Kou Shi Bookstore is opened by Her Royal Highness the Little Princess?"
"Yes." Since she recognized him, there was no need for him to hide it.
Meng Qiaoqing covered her mouth, feeling unbelievable, but after thinking about it, she felt it was quite normal. "Well, thank you, Master Jing. Who should I give the content I've written to?"
"The little princess said that on the 20th of every month, someone will come to pick up the manuscripts and settle your wages. As for the commission, it will be paid to you on the last day of each year. What do you think?"
"Of course I have no objection." Meng Qiaoqing felt that as long as she could be given this one chance, it would be fine.
She saw the letter when she went to her father's study. Her father didn't take it seriously, but she felt that this was an opportunity.
She is sixteen now and has no plans to get married.
Her mother is a good person, and her father is a good person too, but she doesn't want to live the kind of life her mother is living now.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to ask her mother and father to prepare a lot of money for her, enough to ensure that she will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
She knew very well that if she wanted to control her own destiny, she first needed to be financially independent.
"My little princess is willing to give me this opportunity. I am very grateful!"
Jing Huaian hummed, "Since you feel grateful in your heart, don't let the little princess down!"
