The three shook their heads.
Liang Mo handed the medicine to Yin Yin, "Doctor Chen said that this medicine should be taken once a day. Use three bowls of water to boil one bowl. Make sure it is boiled thickly. It will be cured in three days."
"I'll go boil it right away." Yin Yin took the medicine and went into the kitchen to boil it with a guilty conscience.
Xu Jiang and Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help laughing.
Liang Mo said to Xu Jiang, "Doctor Chen also said that the master should rest more. Why don't you go back to your room and rest? I'll be watching over the shop."
Xu Jiang coughed, and Shopkeeper Wang understood and stood up, saying, "I have something else to do in the shop, so I'll be leaving now. Sister, you should have a good rest. I'll bring you some mung bean soup later to cool you down."
"Okay, thank you very much, brother." Xu Jiang bowed and said goodbye.
Liang Mo escorted Shopkeeper Wang out the door, then turned back to continue carving the board. However, Xu Jiang stopped him and said, "Liang Mo, bring me the board you carved."
"Okay." Liang Mo brought several carved blocks to show Xu Jiang.
Xu Jiang took it and looked at it carefully. Although there were still some dull marks and broken knife marks, they were very minor and would not affect the completion of the book.
She pointed out the shortcomings, and Liang Mo wrote them down one by one, saying, "I'll pay attention to them later."
He will definitely carve the next board better than this one.
Xu Jiang pointed to a stool beside him and said to him, "Sit down. I have something to tell you."
Liang Mo felt a little nervous when he heard this. Could it be that he thought his carving was not good and wanted to give him a lecture?
He pulled over a stool and sat upright.
Xu Jiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't be so reserved. I just have something I want to entrust to you."
Liang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Just tell me what the boss wants if I need anything."
"I have to leave the capital in two days to go out on business. I won't be back for some time."
"Where is the boss going? How long will he be gone?"
"I don't know yet, but I estimate it will take a long time, at least one or two months."
"So long?" Liang Mo was a little nervous. If it was a few days or ten days, he would still be confident in himself. But if it was a month or two, he didn't know if he could run the bookstore well.
Seeing his concerns, Xu Jiang encouraged him, "You're diligent and prudent. I believe you can do it. And you can take this opportunity to gain some experience. If you ever want to open a carving shop or bookstore like this, you'll have experience. Consider this a practice session."
“I’m afraid I won’t do well.”
“No one does it right the first time. If you don’t do it right this time, you can fix the gaps and improve next time.”
Encouraged by Xu Jiang, Liang Mo felt more confident and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will definitely take good care of the bookstore."
"Well, you don't have to be afraid if anything happens. I'll have Guards Zhu and Xue continue to guard the bookstore. Yinyin will also be here. If anyone causes trouble, have her report it to the Lou residence. Besides, there's my brother. He's a warm-hearted man with experience and knowledge. You can discuss anything with him."
"Yeah, I understand."
"I estimate that in about a month, your brother Lou should be back from his work. With him guarding the house, you won't have to worry about it anymore."
Xu Jiang was secretly melancholy, not knowing how disappointed Lou Yunchun would be if he didn't see her when he came back.
She continued to discuss with Liang Mo, "Once I'm gone, I won't be able to take care of the book publishing work in the store. Mr. Wen's orchid book is not urgent, but your brother Hu's collection of essays needs to be published before the resumption of classes after the field holiday. You think about whether you can take on this set of work. If you can, I will give it to you. If you find it too much, I will ask Shopkeepers Wu and Dan to help share the burden."
"I can take it. Even if I'm too busy, I can still ask the master for help." The money in this shop can't always be earned by others.
"Boss, just go about your business. Leave Brother Hu's collection of essays to me. We've already decided on the paper and the style, and it's a job I'm used to, so I can handle it."
Xu Jiang said with relief: "I didn't make a mistake in hiring you. You will work hard for the next two months. When I come back, I will give you a raise."
Liang Mo waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, the boss pays me a very high salary." Then he said a little uncomfortably, "I don't want to be called six thousand coins, seven thousand coins or something like that by Brother Wang anymore."
Xu Jiang laughed out loud when she heard this.
"He's always been mischievous. You don't have to take his jokes to heart. You might not know that he often praises you privately, saying that you're hardworking and capable, and he really admires you."
Liang Mo was a little embarrassed by the praise and said hurriedly: "Boss, do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I will go to work."
"Go ahead. I'll list the details in a set of rules, and you'll just follow them."
Liang Mo continued to carve the pattern. Guests came to the shop from time to time. Xu Jiang felt uncomfortable lying on the wooden couch, so she got up and went to the bedroom in the backyard.
When she turned the corner outside the small door, the fragrance of summer herb made her stop. She sniffed the orchid fragrance, and the depression in her chest was cleansed by the air of the quiet valley.
Don’t dwell on the past, today’s new fragrance is growing towards the sun.
She cannot be depressed, she must move forward, which is also her master's expectation.
Xu Jiang asked Yin Yin to keep the fact of her heatstroke a secret for her. The Lou couple had been worried about her a lot in the past two days.
Madam Lou is someone who needs rest. If she knew that she fainted today, she would probably not be able to rest in peace again. And if Lou Jing knew about it, he would probably intervene in Xu Twelve's affairs personally.
Although Xu Jiang was not involved in court affairs, she was able to get some clues from the Dali Temple's quick trial of the Zhou family.
I'm afraid that the Zhou family is just a guest, and the good show led by the saint has just begun.
To neutralize Lou Yunchun's sharp edge, Lou Jing always kept a low profile. Although he had many friends, he never used them to gain power. She couldn't let her own affairs make him make an exception.
