She smiled, and Lou Yunchun also smiled.
Lou Yunchun pulled her to sit down, then kissed her and whispered, "The pear blossoms in Ziranxuan are blooming, and the vegetable garden has been cultivated."
Xu Jiang smiled and asked, "When will you take a rest?"
"tomorrow."
"How about we enjoy the flowers and plant some vegetables tomorrow?"
"I couldn't ask for more."
The next day, the rain stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. Xu Jiang got up early and saw that it was not yet the time she had agreed with Lou Yunchun, so she opened the door and tidied up the bookstore inside and out.
The continuous rain made the store feel slightly damp, and spider webs were everywhere, with spider dust falling everywhere, which was very unsightly.
She was busy lighting incense to fumigate the house, brooming and sweeping the eaves, when a guest came to visit.
"Is Manager Xu busy?" The person who came was Ji Shan, and with him was an old man of the same age as him.
"Mr. Ji, long time no see." Then he bowed to another gentleman and said, "Xu Jiang greets you, sir."
Ji Shan introduced her, "This is Deng Yuechuan." Then he said, "I brought him here to look for books."
Deng Yuechuan was very amiable and said with a smile, "Sorry to bother you, Shopkeeper Xu."
Xu Jiang hurriedly invited the two into the shop and asked, "What book are you looking for, sir?"
Deng Yuechuan looked around for a few moments and said, "I heard from Brother Guannan that you have quite a few private engravings and annotations here, so I came to take a look."
Ji Shan said, "I originally said I would wait until your book appreciation banquet to bring him here, but I waited for more than half a month and there was no movement. Seeing that it didn't rain today, I brought him here in person."
Xu Jiang quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I was so busy the past few days that I missed the opportunity."
Ji Shan waved his hand, "Being busy is a good thing. Besides, we are all free now and can afford to wait."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir." Xu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly led the two of them to sit down, and poured them more tea.
Halfway through the tea, Ji Shan said, "Your collection has spread everywhere now, and the response has been quite good. Do you have any more on hand?"
"How many sets would you like, sir?"
"Sixty sets."
"What do you need so much for, sir?"
"Donate it to the village school."
Xu Jiang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, even if there isn't one, you can print it now."
"Okay, then it's settled." Ji Shan nodded and asked, "How do you calculate the price?"
"Just give me half the price, sir."
"How can that be?" Ji Shan was shocked. He had originally intended to buy more and get a discount, but he hadn't expected Xu Jiang to cut the price in half. "This is my decision. How can I let you add to it?"
"Doing good deeds isn't called making up for one's loss; it's called accumulating virtue. Besides, I'm in this business, so I should do my part." Seeing that he still looked disapproving, Xu Jiang added, "Sir, half the price is enough for the paper and ink. You can do the rest for printing and binding yourself. It won't be a loss."
Ji Shan wanted to refuse again, "No..."
Deng Yuechuan, who was standing by, saw the two people arguing and pushing each other, so he slammed the table, interrupting them, and then said, "Stop arguing, both of you. Count me in as one of the good deeds, and it will be easier for everyone."
Xu Jiang and Ji Shan looked at each other in surprise.
