"Is it settled?"
"Um."
Wu Qingchuang and Dan Si didn't dare to ask about Lou Yunchun's whereabouts. They just looked at him a few more times and then concentrated on their journey.
Only after leading his mount out of the willow garden did Wu Qingchuang sigh, "Just as the Zhou family left, the Liu family arrived. There's really no peace."
Lou Yunchun asked Xu Jiang, "What's going on?"
Xu Jiang then told him everything that had happened at the water pavilion. At the end, she patted the stubborn donkey's head and sighed, "When I get angry, I'm just as stubborn as this stupid donkey. I refuse to give in."
Lou Yunchun said, "You did the right thing."
If she really compromised, she would no longer be Xu Jiang.
Seeing that he understood her, Xu Jiang felt relieved.
Lou Yunchun added, "I saw Zhao Xiu on the balcony. If you really sell the stereotype, you'll probably be making wedding clothes for others."
"It's indeed him." When Xu Jiang heard the manager say that he wanted to buy out the printing plates, he became suspicious. They must be buying these books in preparation for reopening the bookstore.
At this Book Fair, all the bookstores came with new books. If all the new books were sold out, when they reopened, they would be able to use the new books to pave the way and quickly gain a foothold and take the lead.
Wu Qingchuang and Dan Si were confused by what they heard. Unlike Xu Jiang who was alert, the reason why they were unwilling to sell stereotypes was very simple.
Firstly, these new books were the result of their painstaking efforts in selecting materials and finding engravers to carve the plates. They were reluctant to sell them to others right after they were put on the shelves.
Secondly, he believed in Xu Jiang. Xu Jiang was no ordinary person. Wu Qingchuang glanced at Lou Yunchun. A simple person would not dare to let a court official serve as his assistant.
So since Xu Jiang was not afraid, they naturally were not afraid either.
Dan Si thought of the flood Xu Jiang had just mentioned, and he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Leyou River and asked, "Is what Manager Xu just said about the flood true?"
Xu Jiang sighed, "I wish I was just worrying for nothing."
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. She was scared badly that time in Wu Gorge.
Lou Yunchun said in a deep voice, "The doctor from the Ministry of Water Resources has not returned to Liuyuan. I believe his inspection of the river has confirmed your words. Now it all depends on what the Ministry of Works will do."
Xu Jiang clasped her hands together and said hopefully, "I hope it's still in time."
Several people, some riding horses and some driving donkey carts, quickly left Leyou Township along the main road.
When they were almost at Qixia Gate, they encountered several teams of soldiers carrying some ironware and heading towards Leyou Township.
It should be used to dredge the river.
Wu Qingchuang and Dan Si went their separate ways from the other two men after entering the city, and went back to their respective bookstores.
Lou Yunchun exchanged horses with Xu Jiang, and told her to return to the bookstore as soon as possible, then rode to the Dali Temple.
Xu Jiang drove the donkey cart around to Taikangfang and stopped at Jisheng Bookstore for a while. The sound of chiseling came from inside the bookstore. It should be the craftsmen working hard. I wonder if Li Caoshu is inside.
Although the three of them did not agree to sell the stereotypes today, others might not agree. Not everyone is willing to offend these powerful people.
He had just started, and he was already using his power to pressure others. I think he was no less powerful than Zhou Shancai. I wonder what the scene will be like after this bookstore is reborn and reopened.
"Let's go." She raised her hand and patted the stubborn donkey, "Let's go home."
As soon as he heard that he was going home, the stubborn donkey started running.
That day, Lou Yunchun did not return to the bookstore.
In the middle of the night, a heavy rain came down with a devastating force.
