After chatting with the fellow villagers for a while, Li Yu and his friends said goodbye.
Li Yu planned to go to Yunshang Bookstore to see if the middle part of her storybook was on the shelves. She hadn't seen Chen Zongwen for a long time.
"Boss Chen, what are you busy with?"
Li Yu's voice arrived before he arrived.
When Chen Zongwen saw his God of Wealth coming, he quickly came out to greet him: "Sister Li, why are you here? You haven't been to the library for a long time."
"I'm free, so I came to see if the middle section of Cooking Peak is available."
Before Chen Zongwen could answer, a girl dressed as a maid ran in from the door, followed by a man who looked like a servant.
The maid came in and said to Chen Zongwen, "Boss, the middle volume of The Peak of Cooking is already on the shelves. Why didn't you send a letter to our young lady? She only heard the news from Miss Shan today. Hurry and give me two copies. My young lady is waiting to read it."
Before Chen Zongwen could reply, the servant objected: "Hey, Miss Juxiang, you tripped me up on purpose and got ahead of me, but why did you buy two books at once? Are you going to let others buy them?"
"You fell down accidentally and you blame others. Besides, my young lady has plenty of money. She can buy as many books as she wants. What's it got to do with you?" the maid said quickly.
The servant probably understood that he couldn't win the argument, and he rolled his eyes in anger, but he couldn't think of anything to say to the girl.
Chen Zongwen then stepped forward and said, "Calm down, both of you. We've already sold out all four copies of the middle volume today. Come back tomorrow."
This stirred up a hornet's nest. The maid, with her hands on her hips, began to scold Chen Zongwen: "Boss Chen, our young lady is a loyal customer of your bookstore. Not only did you not inform us when your new book was put on the shelves, but how could you not even leave a copy for her? I say you can't do business like this."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Well, I'll leave two for you tomorrow. You can just come over and get them. You don't have to wait in line."
Li Yu watched Chen Zongwen apologize and make amends with a very humble attitude, and was very curious about the lady that the maid was talking about.
At this time, the servant next to him couldn't stand it anymore. He interrupted and said, "I say, come on, you know that the boss can't do anything about it, why are you making things difficult for him? Our son is not as powerful as your daughter."
"What do you care about me? Humph, can our young lady compare to your young master?"
After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about Chen Zongwen and the others beside him.
The young man was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he had no place to vent his anger.
After a while, when his anger had subsided, he turned to Chen Zongwen and said politely, "Boss Chen, since there are no more, then please leave a copy for my son tomorrow. I, the sword book, would like to thank you, Boss Chen, on behalf of my son."
After saying this, he bowed to Chen Zongwen.
"What's the big deal? It's for sale anyway, so stop being so generous."
After the servant left, Chen Zongwen turned around and saw Li Yuniangsan's expression and laughed: "Sister Li, you didn't expect your storybook to be so popular."
Li Yu really didn't expect it. She guessed it would sell well, but she never expected it to be sold out every day.
But Li Yu asked about something else.
"Boss Chen, whose family are those two? Why are you so polite to them?"
"This girl is the maid of our county magistrate's daughter. Our Qingyan Town county magistrate is good in every way except that he is a bit greedy when it comes to women. He has many concubines in his mansion. The master of this maid is Miss Yang, the illegitimate daughter of our county magistrate Yang Guangfeng.
Logically, this illegitimate daughter wouldn't dare act so arrogantly, but her biological mother is the county magistrate's favorite concubine—Concubine Huang. "Chen Zongwen explained to them.
So that's how it is. No wonder he's so arrogant. He has the capital to be so arrogant.
"Then why does she seem to be on bad terms with this servant's master? But this servant doesn't seem to be afraid of her either. Who is this servant's family?"
Lin Jiang was curious.
"Your observation is correct, this servant is indeed not afraid of her. His master is the eldest son of our Qingyan Town County Magistrate, Lu Siwei. Lu Siwei is a handsome man, and the most important thing is that he is also a scholar.
He is a talented young man who studies at the famous Mingyue Academy in Qingyang Prefecture.
The county magistrate wanted to marry his beloved fourth daughter to him, but the fourth daughter despised him because he was just the son of a small county magistrate and refused to marry him. She went around saying that Master Lu was a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Finally, the county magistrate was so annoyed by his daughter that he gave up the idea of having Mr. Lu as his son-in-law.
Chen Zongwen whispered, "I feel like the County Magistrate's family doesn't want to marry this young lady either, so they're letting Fourth Miss Yang go around ruining their young master's reputation. We're all smart people, so how could we not know that?"
Li Yu also felt that the county magistrate's family was really smart.
It seems that Miss Yang is the fourth daughter that the county magistrate loves the most, but no matter how much she is loved, she is still a concubine's daughter.
Mr. Lu has a bright future. If he passes the imperial examination, he will have a better marriage.
Of course, this is just someone else's business and has little to do with Li Yu.
She is gossipy at best.
