Chapter 476 Qingzhou
Hu Xiner swallowed unconsciously. She felt like a scumbag.
Mu Qing grumbled softly, "My lady, it's not possible during the day, not in the carriage, not in a deserted place... When will it be possible?"
Speaking of this, Hu Xiner became furious.
She felt that it was a mistake for her to ride in the same carriage with Mu Qing.
"Can't you just focus on your journey?" she said angrily. "It would be so embarrassing if you made some strange noises while traveling."
Mu Qing pressed her: "But my lady, wouldn't the Taoist priests be embarrassed?"
Hu Xin'er's eyes wandered: "They are elders, different from us youngsters."
"I'm not a child." Mu Qing kissed her secretly, "I'm almost going to be a father."
Hu Xiner wanted to retreat, only to find that she had been forced into a corner.
She said with some annoyance: "You are a father, but you are still so frivolous! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your children?"
Mu Qing chuckled softly, "When the time comes, I'll tell you, baby, if daddy were serious, you wouldn't be here."
"Ahhh, you filthy rascal!" Hu Xin'er's face turned red and her heart beat fast because of him. She cursed herself for being useless and looked at him fiercely.
Little did she know that she looked like a little peach when she pretended to be fierce, which made Mu Qing feel even more itchy.
But he also knew that his wife was shy, and he couldn't help feeling helpless, and began to reflect on whether he had spoiled his wife too much.
Otherwise, why is my wife still so reluctant to let go after being married for so long?
Even if he occasionally uttered a lewd word, he would be the one who suffered in the end...
"Okay, stop making trouble." He said gently, "Let's get some sleep first, and then go out and play."
Hu Xiner felt as if she had been pardoned, but at the same time she secretly complained in her heart, thinking, after such an incident, who could still sleep?
Mu Qing made the bed and untied his belt before he asked doubtfully, "Madam, aren't you coming over?"
Hu Xin'er was still huddled in the corner, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Mu Qing thought that he had frightened her just now, so he said apologetically: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Alas, he is obviously the legitimate husband, but he has to apologize even for being intimate with her. His eyebrows drooped slightly, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
Hu Xiner looked at her husband's little appearance, wanting to cry but unable to: "No, it's not because of this, it's because my legs are weak..."
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, picked her up and put her into the bed.
Hu Xin'er covered her face silently, ah, she was too embarrassed to see anyone...
After taking a nap, they went out shopping.
What was unexpected was that as soon as Hu Xiner went out, she heard news about the comic book store.
And the name of that comic book shop suddenly became Mu Xin Comic Book Shop?
But isn't the comic book shop only in the capital? The princess has so much going on lately, so she shouldn't be expanding her business, right?
Not to mention Hu Xiner herself, she hasn't been taking care of the things in the shop recently.
She pricked up her ears and listened to the conversations of the people next to her.
They were two scholars in blue clothes. Although they spoke Mandarin, they had the accent of Qingzhou and were obviously locals.
But what they said were not good things.
"Have you heard? Mu Xin Comics Shop has new comics. This time it's a book called The Love of a Mermaid. Tsk tsk, it's totally immoral!" said the scholar with slanted eyes.
"Oh? Brother Li? Are you still reading this kind of thing?" The other scholar moved away from him silently.
The scholar surnamed Li said with disgust, "Brother Zhou, what are you talking about? Why would I read such a disrespectful thing? I just want to condemn this unscrupulous businessman."
"Great minds think alike!" The scholar surnamed Zhou finally smiled and said proudly, "To be honest, I've already written a manifesto and am about to post it on the door of Mu Xin's comic shop. I will eradicate this immoral material!"
"Oh? Brother Zhou, you are so talented, could you please show me that manifesto?"
The two scholars smiled at each other and walked further away.
Hu Xin'er was completely confused. "Mu Qing, did I hear correctly? Are they talking about our comic book shop?"
Mu Qing nodded: "Not bad."
"What do you mean by 'indecent and disrespectful'?" Hu Xin'er's brows furrowed ever deeper. "I told the Princess before that if we want to expand our business, we must pay attention to word of mouth. After all, our comics are very new, and if we don't pay attention to the means and methods of promotion, it will easily collapse!"
However, the comic book shop in this place obviously did not meet her requirements.
You know, although her comics are not something that can be put on the table from the perspective of this era, in terms of painting skills and design alone, they are absolutely better than most picture books on the market today.
When he was in the capital, many scholars secretly lined up to buy comics.
But now, he has been belittled like this by these two scholars from Qingzhou, so why should he write a manifesto?
A manifesto is equivalent to a modern big-character poster or letter of condemnation, and is used to denounce others!
When Hu Xiner thought about how someone had openly posted insulting words about her at the door of her store, she became furious and wanted to pull those two scholars back and give them a good beating!
Mu Qing pondered, "From what those two scholars said, I can't tell whether this comic book store is good or bad. Maybe they're just being self-righteous?"
"I hope so." Hu Xiner said this, but she was not very optimistic in her heart.
If only these two scholars thought so, why would they write the manifesto?
Mu Qing rubbed her head and said, "Instead of thinking about it, why don't we just go to the comic book store and take a look?"
This is indeed the best solution.
But there is still a problem now, that is, they don’t know where the comic book store is.
Hu Xin'er looked around for a moment, then stopped a woman passing by and said, "Miss, do you know where Mu Xin Comics Shop is?"
The woman initially looked gentle as she was a pregnant woman, but when she heard the words "Mu Xin Comic Shop", her expression immediately changed, and she quickly walked out with a flick of her sleeves.
Hu Xiner called her several times but failed to call her back.
There was no other way, so she had to look for another target, but she and Mu Qing found several people in a row and they all ended up in the same situation.
There were both men and women among those people. Originally, women should be the target audience of Mu Xin Comics Shop, but in Qingzhou, those women showed an expression of avoiding the comics shop when they heard its name.
It was as if it was a taboo name, and that anyone who mentioned it would bring bad luck.
Hu Xin'er looked around in a daze. She vaguely knew that something must have gone wrong.
At this moment, a young man sneaked out and said, "Madam, do you want to buy some comics? Please follow me!"
After he finished speaking, he ran directly to the nearest alley...
