Chapter 180: Witchcraft
Hu Xiner rubbed her eyes, which were sore and swollen from overuse.
The plaque on the door of this shop was exactly the same as the previous one in the town. Thinking of the things that happened back then, she couldn't help but be lost in thought.
Erdong patted her shoulder and said, "Go in and take a look!"
She walked in in a daze and saw a woman wearing a narrow-sleeved, waist-length skirt, with her face bare, standing inside and calculating accounts.
If she wasn't too familiar with it, she wouldn't have believed that it was the eldest princess herself who was busy in there!
Seeing Hu Xin'er coming, the princess smiled smugly and said, "Woman, don't think that being able to do business is anything special. This princess has a first-rate talent for business, but I just didn't want to do it before because I thought it was too low-class!"
The myriad emotions that had just risen in Hu Xiner's mind were suddenly choked in her throat.
As expected of the eldest princess, she always ruins the atmosphere by using the sentences of a domineering president.
"Look at you, how can you look like a princess?" She could only say this dryly in the end.
The eldest princess thought she was bragging: "Don't worry, business has been really good recently! However, I can be merciful and use all the money to find you a husband!"
After saying this, she raised her head and put her hands on her hips, waiting for everyone's flattery.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xin'er sniffed hard, her eyes reddened with emotion, and she couldn't stop crying: "Why are you so nice to me?"
"Hey, don't cry!" The eldest princess walked over helplessly and looked at Erdong for help.
Then Hu Xin'er hugged him tightly: "Thank you, thank you so much!"
The eldest princess patted her back and comforted her, "Don't cry, silly girl. We will definitely find Mu Qing. If we don't find him, my father will no longer have the face to be emperor!"
Hu Xiner is not a pretentious person, but she has been under too much pressure recently. After crying for a while, she showed the comic strip she had drawn to the princess.
Although she had read the draft, the princess was still deeply moved. Wiping away her tears, she said, "Don't worry, with your book, we will definitely find Mu Qing!"
With the accelerated printing, the day for the book to be released soon arrived.
"Take a look, take a look! Muxin Comics Shop is having a big sale!"
"What? The comic book shop has new products?"
People rushed over.
In terms of power, Mu Xin Comics Shop has the support of the eldest princess, and in terms of the front, it has the military force of Erdong.
When it comes to sales experience, there is also the case of Hu Xiner.
Therefore, no one ever dared to cause trouble for them and could only curry favor with them.
In recent days, Mu Xin Comics Shop has gained a good reputation in Beijing and even has a fixed stall location. Even bookstores purchase hardcover picture books from them.
When the new book was released, the stall was immediately packed with people.
Hu Xiner also followed them out and stood next to the stall, looking at the hot sales scene with hope in her eyes.
Every time this book is sold, the chances of finding Mu Qing increase.
A girl dressed in pink and wearing a double bun, dressed like a maid, actually squeezed past the middle-aged woman buying vegetables and the frail scholar and grabbed the first comic!
She didn't even bother to pick up the hairpins and rings that had fallen to the ground. She ran to the side and couldn't wait to open the picture book and start reading.
The name is a bit bland and ordinary, called "The Lu Family Couple's Daily Love."
When I saw the beginning, I was like, eh? Such a handsome male protagonist actually fell into the water and lost his memory!
Her attention was immediately drawn to the comic, and she flipped through the pages one by one, sometimes feeling anxious about the misunderstanding between the two, and sometimes feeling fascinated by the sweet married life of the people in the story.
When I saw the male protagonist's awkward confession, I couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing what happened in the boudoir after marriage, her face turned red again.
Before she knew it, she had finished reading the whole book, and tears were streaming down her face: "Wow...my Lu Lang..."
Next to her was a group of people who were reading books eagerly, and a long line had formed in front of the bookshelf.
Some people, seeing that the queue was hopeless, sat beside her in frustration. Seeing her deeply moved by the plot of the book, they were even more eager to learn more and gathered around her, asking, "What happened? What is this book about?"
The little maid shook her head and cried, "Lu Lang! Please don't let anything happen to you!"
"Oh, what happened to Lu Lang?" the onlookers said in unison.
The little maid took out her handkerchief and put it under her eyes, crying out loud: "He's missing!"
"Ah?" Everyone widened their eyes and thought of someone at the same time.
Could it be that Lu Lang, who disappeared recently, is...
At this time, crying sounds were heard one after another nearby, and everyone immediately scattered. They would rather pay others to rent picture books than not want to take a look!
There are already many cases in modern times that prove that since ancient times, deep affection is unreliable and only routines can win people's hearts.
The imperfections in those stories will make readers think about them and feel uneasy all the time.
Many classic works are also tragedies, the more tragic the works are, the more loyal the readers will be!
The most important thing is that the picture books of Muxin Comic Shop are ahead of their peers and ahead of the times in terms of creativity, quality and packaging!
This is bound to set off a wave of public opinion.
Nowadays, if you don’t read the picture books from Mu Xin Comics Store, you will be laughed at for being ignorant!
Today, there are stalls selling books in all directions of Beijing, and in less than half a day, all the books are shipped in from the factories.
Even the scalpers who saw a business opportunity sat down next to a pile of sketchbooks they had bought, hugging the books and crying.
"Oh, what has God done wrong! Why did he let me see this book?"
Wailing sounds like this could be heard from time to time.
An old scholar with a flowing beard passed by and saw the scene, which looked like a large-scale pyramid scheme, and snorted disdainfully: "This is simply outrageous. I want to see what kind of evil book this is..."
A quarter of an hour later, he covered his chest with his hands, tears streaming down his face: "I don't know where the love comes from, it's so deep..."
The eldest princess even brought in her most handsome face to help sell books, and the business was booming. The story of Mu Qing and Hu Xin'er became a household name, and people from other places even came just to buy a comic book.
Bookstores that saw the business opportunity were scrambling to buy books, but Muxin Comics Store insisted on selling books at cost price just to maximize its influence.
Seeing the books being sold, Hu Xiner felt that he had a purpose and his mental state improved. He went back to his old job of selling books.
One day, she was selling books, and in the crowded crowd, she saw the woman in the portrait standing across the street.
Without caring about anything else, she hurried to chase after her, but the woman disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Hu Xin'er was anxiously searching for him, while the princess, who had stayed at the stall, caught up with him and asked, "Xin'er, what's wrong?"
Hu Xin'er was so anxious that tears fell from her eyes: "I saw it!"
The princess thought she saw Mu Qing, but when she asked, she found out it was the woman in the small statue.
The eldest princess was also puzzled: "Who is that woman?"
