Okay, I'll go back and practice, and strive to succeed as soon as possible!
Fu Hanlai slept all the way back to the Prince Ping's mansion. Upon returning to the mansion, he heard that Jiang Xuelin had gone to the shop. He turned around and wanted to follow her, but then he paused, thought of something, and immediately went to the martial arts training ground.
Yes, he's not like Jiang Xuelin who has nothing to do; he has a lot on his plate!
Jiang Xuelin didn't return until evening.
She had only gone to check on the shop and prepare for the next issue of "The Sun Shines Brightly," but she ended up encountering a wealthy businessman who came to her door.
The other party wanted to discuss business and had their eye on their tabloid, but Jiang Xuelin did not agree.
She knew her own limitations and knew she wasn't cut out for this. Not only did she not have that in mind right now, but even if she did, she wouldn't talk to the other party herself. Instead, she would ask the shopkeeper in her dowry shop who was skilled in this area to come over.
There was another reason why Jiang Xuelin didn't agree: she couldn't be sure whether the other party truly saw the potential of the tabloid or was after the power behind it.
This tabloid is very popular in the capital these days. Every time it comes out, it sells out quickly. Anyone who can read a few words will buy it to read, while those who can't read will go to teahouses and taverns to listen to other people discussing these things.
Although those who made the tabloids had strong opinions about this, the law does not punish the masses, and there were too many onlookers, so they couldn't do anything about it.
Moreover, this kind of thing happens to my family this time, and to your family next time; in the end, no one can escape it.
An imperial censor once impeached that if things continued this way, ordinary people would lose their respect for court officials, and in the long run, it would damage the dignity of the court. How could the trivial matters of officials' families be the topic of conversation for ordinary people?
However, the impeachment memorial was ultimately suppressed by Emperor Xuande and did not cause any significant disturbance.
That makes sense. Wealthy families care about their reputation, and nowadays many believe that family scandals should not be aired in public. But what King Ping said back then was also right. If there is nothing wrong with your conscience, why be so afraid?
Were those officials not ordinary people themselves? Are aristocratic families always aristocratic families? Of course not.
Long ago, the thousand-year-old aristocratic families disappeared.
Many of the nobles and meritorious officials of this dynasty were originally just ordinary people when the dynasty was first established, and the same was true for the scholars.
In short, Emperor Xuande did not feel that it would damage the dignity of the court or affect the transmission of imperial decrees.
He hoped that more talented scholars from humble backgrounds would be discovered by the imperial court, rather than those from wealthy and powerful families.
Moreover, this tabloid has an unseen benefit: it can make people more cautious in their words and actions. After all, no one knows whether their indulgence will result in the entire capital city discussing it.
In short, now that "The Sun Shines Brightly" has stabilized completely, it's normal for someone to take a liking to it and want to sell the tabloid outside of Beijing.
But Jiang Xuelin also understood that the power behind this tabloid was attracting attention. Who knew whether the wealthy businessman really wanted to do business or wanted to get involved with them?
It's not that Jiang Xuelin is overconfident; she just needs to be careful.
Her original intention was to have someone investigate the wealthy businessman's identity after she returned, and she also planned to discuss it with Fu Han and the others. After all, even if the wealthy businessman had problems this time, there would always be someone who would really want to do this business someday.
When he returned, he heard that Fu Hanlai was sweating profusely in the martial arts arena.
From the moment Fu Hanlai got up early in the morning, something seemed off. In the past, Jiang Xuelin would always get up first, and Fu Hanlai would have to slowly get up too, but that was only because he didn't want to lose to Jiang Xuelin and make a fool of himself.
Asking him to get up half an hour earlier than Jiang Xuelin is really putting him in a difficult position.
Seeing Jiang Xuelin return, Fu Hanlai finally stopped and dragged his tired body back to the courtyard.
His gaze kept glancing at Jiang Xuelin, the old monk's words echoing in his mind.
Absolutely impossible.
He could never be like what that old monk said.
Jiang Xuelin was in high spirits, sitting there drinking tea. She waited for Fu Han to finish tidying up before telling him what had happened during the day.
That shop didn't belong to her alone, and Jiang Xuelin never intended to keep those things from Fu Han.
After hearing this, Fu Hanlai clearly had the same thought as Jiang Xuelin.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the tabloid seems to be full of trivial and unimportant things, and it may seem like it doesn't make any money. In fact, it makes quite a lot of money. It only lost some capital the first time, and then it started to make a profit. Now, the profit for each issue is quite considerable.
If these are sold to other places, they can naturally earn even more money.
Although it wasn't originally for making money, it would certainly be a good thing if it could.
After discussing it for a while, the two decided to investigate the wealthy businessman's identity first.
After discussing the important matters, Jiang Xuelin had someone serve the meal. No one mentioned what had happened the night before. Jiang Xuelin simply hadn't thought of it and didn't think it was a big deal, while Fu Hanlai was too embarrassed to bring it up.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Xuelin remembered hearing from the maid that Fu Hanlai had spent the entire afternoon at the martial arts training ground, and couldn't help but ask him if he was tired.
After all, it was common knowledge that Fu Ashou was spoiled, but as soon as she said that, Fu Hanlai obviously misunderstood.
He thought Jiang Xuelin was referring to why he still had the energy to get up today after what happened last night.
Is this a mockery?
"Jiang Xuelin, don't go too far!"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
