"A new book? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I haven't thought about it recently. I've been a bit busy at home, so I put the storybook thing aside.
I just didn’t expect that the elders in Mr.’s family also like to read storybooks.”
The expression on Qu Xiangbai's face seemed to be one of nostalgia and also of discomfort.
He said: "I love reading it, I love reading it very much. Sister Li is very good at telling stories, it is very attractive, and the writing style is also novel, very suitable for the elders to read."
Li Yu sighed: "Recently, my family moved, I opened a shop, and Ah He was taking the exam to become my apprentice, so I didn't have time to pay attention.
But now everything has been sorted out, and I will probably think about it carefully when I have time."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Li. To be honest, Sister Li, your storytelling books have helped our bookstore make a lot of money. We are all waiting for a great relative of ours to publish a new work soon." Qu Xiangbai said.
Li Yu smiled a little embarrassedly. So this is what it felt like to be praised for one's business ability by a big boss.
It made her feel like she was in her previous life when she wrote online articles and was praised by readers, so she wrote ten thousand words a day.
"Don't worry, I'll show you Mr. Qu the first time I have a new work."
Qu Xiangbai nodded and said to Lin He, "By the way, when you were in Mingde Academy, did Jiang Yueyin give you a name?"
"No, the master mentioned it before, but he said that when I become his disciple in the future, I can let my master choose it. He is just responsible for enlightenment."
Lin He answered him.
"Do you want me to help you get it? Or your mother can help you get it? After all, your mother is quite knowledgeable."
…
Li Yu seriously suspected that he was making fun of himself. His own vernacular novels were probably a piece of shit in the eyes of these ancient scholars.
What Li Yu didn't expect was that Lin He also turned to look at her, obviously asking her to help him get it, and had no intention of letting Qu Xiangbai get it for him.
No way?
But Li Yu still didn't want to interfere. Most students' calligraphy was chosen by their mentors or elders. How many people let their mothers choose it?
"Sir, please stop teasing me. What knowledge do I have? Please help me pick one."
She then said to Lin He, "Why are you fooling around too?"
Lin He saw that she really wanted the gentleman to help her get it.
Then he turned and bowed to Qu Xiangbai: "Master, please help me with the calligraphy."
Qu Xiangbai thought for a moment and said to them: "Jian Cheng. Just call me Jian Cheng. Although I won't interfere with what you do, I still hope you can keep things simple and not be so tired.
If you are too tense, you will have no friends, understand?"
Lin He...
He thought the name was good, but he didn't think he was too nervous.
Li Yu also thought it was a good name. It sounded nice. It suited Lin He very well.
Now that everything was resolved, Li Yu prepared to say goodbye to Qu Xiangbai.
"Well, it's getting late, so we'll leave first. Mr. Qu, you can come to the store and have a seat when you have time. They all say the food is delicious."
Qu Xiangbai nodded: "I will definitely go when I have time. You guys go back and start classes tomorrow."
When the two came out, it was already past lunch time.
On the way home, Li Yu asked Lin He, "Although Qu Xiangbai is powerful, I always feel that his family's affairs are not over yet. Aren't you afraid that it will implicate you?"
Lin He smiled and said to Li Yu:
"Don't worry, mother. No one knows the whole story of this matter. What we know now is just what others want us to know.
Do you think His Majesty is truly a fool? Prime Minister Yin holds immense power, his disciples spread across the land, and he even has a favored daughter in the palace. Mother, do you think His Majesty is at ease?
Don't forget, our Majesty is the one who overthrew a dynasty.
Prime Minister Yin has such great power, what do you think His Majesty will think?
He dismissed all officials from the Qu family and allowed them to return home. Isn't this a form of protection for them? "
Hearing this, Li Yu suddenly understood.
Good guy, good guy!
Is this the brain of a smart person? Is this what the ancients thought about?
She is just an ordinary passerby, right?
Li Yu, who has read many novels and watched many TV shows, completely agrees with Lin He's statement.
But she still had questions: "If you can think of this, then the Qu family should be able to think of it too, right? If the Qu family can think of it, then Prime Minister Yin should be able to think of it too, right? Why doesn't he deal with the Qu family?"
Lin He glanced at his mother and then looked away, but Li Yu felt that Lin He's look was saying that he was a fool.
“Of course they know, otherwise how could Qu Xiangbai open such a large library in all the prefectures?
It was because he knew that Prime Minister Yin would not deal with them, or rather, he dared not to, because they were already civilians.
Mother, although Prime Minister Yin’s youngest son will never be able to stand up on his own feet again in his lifetime, all members of the Qu family have been dismissed from office. Isn’t this punishment enough?
If Prime Minister Yin continues to pester me, he will be committing a crime. This is the judgment made by His Majesty himself."
I see.
"Son, do you think Qu Xiangbai opened so many bookstores just to sell books and storybooks?"
Li Yu suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Lin He raised his eyebrows where Li Yu couldn't see, but didn't say anything.
I thought, what do you think?
