Chapter 39:
Xingshan County, the boss behind the scenes, is only so big. If there is such a powerful person, it is impossible for them not to know about it.
"It shouldn't be from Xingshan County, but I can't figure out who it is at the moment." Wei Mingting was also observing the young man with a young face just now, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Yun guessed: "It can't be the nobleman who lives in the Zen room of Fahua Temple, right?" There are
very few big shots in Xingshan County, so it is impossible for two of them to come at once by such a coincidence.
"It's possible." Wei Mingting agreed.
"Husband, will you be angry with our family because of what happened that day and Yichen's victory in the competition today?" Yun's worry became even more intense.
"Don't think so much. If you really get angry over these trivial things, I have nothing to say. Besides, looking at the young master's behavior just now, he doesn't look like a narrow-minded person." Wei Mingting said.
He acted upright and sat upright, and the court wanted to punish him for the crime of resisting the Japanese. But if he was punished for such a trivial matter, it would be really unfair.
After exploring the identity of Mr. Jinyi to no avail, Wei Yichen handed over the calligraphy treasure he won from the Canglin layman to Wei Mingting.
Wei Mingting refused: "You can keep it yourself. My father knows that you like this Tibetan monk very much, and you have always wanted to become his disciple."
Wei Ruo, who was about to get in the car, turned his head when he heard this. She glanced at Wei Yichen, but quickly turned back, got on the carriage, hugged the preserved fruit and started to chew on it.
Wei Qingwanruo, who was sitting opposite Wei Ruo, looked thoughtfully outside through the gap in the car window, and the appearance of the young master just now kept popping up in her mind.
I also thought about what my parents had just said, that the young master was probably a nobleman who was at Fahua Temple that day, and I was worried whether he had left a bad impression on him that day.
If he is really a nobleman in Fahua Temple, he is a member of the royal family. Why on earth would a member of the royal family come to a small place like Xingshan County?

Chu Lan did not leave immediately after the competition. He also asked his entourage to queue up and buy paper.
Holding the paper in his hand, Chu Lan became more and more sure that these papers were much better than those sold in the capital.
Lu Yuhong also saw that the paper Chu Lan bought was different from the ones they usually used. It was thicker, whiter, and more delicate and smooth.
"I really can't tell. This shop is really famous. Not only does it have all kinds of tricks to attract customers, but the things it sells are also better than those sold in other places. It's a bit unfair to open this shop in this place. It should be opened in the capital. Go! That business must be a hundred times better than this!" Lu Yuhong commented.
"Brother Yu, it's not that easy to open a store in the capital." Chu Lan said.
"Oh, that's right. It's not a small place like this in the capital." Lu Yuhong nodded.
It is said that Lu Yuhong jokingly said to Chu Lan: "Your Highness, since their paper is so good and so popular among literati, tell me, if I go talk to their boss to see if they can provide me with supplies, I Help him open a shop in the capital, so that I can make some money!"
No one would think that he has a lot of money, even a young man from a noble family like Lu Yuhong.
"You can give it a try, but you just don't want to be thought of as someone who robs and plunders." "
That must not be the case. Am I like that kind of bastard? I want to oppress the people. My grandfather was the first to take it. Whip me to death!"

The competition is over, and today's paper is sold out.
Shopkeeper Jia closed the shop and then entered the small courtyard behind the shop. In the courtyard stood a tall, honest-looking farmer.
When shopkeeper Jia came in, the farmer was chopping firewood.
Shopkeeper Jia walked up to him and reported to him the results of today's competition and the store's sales. Overall, very successful. With just a piece of calligraphy by a Tibetan layman and a small competition, Sibaozhai was able to promote it in Xingshan County and successfully sold 7,200 pieces of paper.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Zhushan agreed with a naive smile.
Looking at Xu Zhushan's honest and honest appearance, Shopkeeper Jia didn't know how many times he felt incredible. He looked like a dull person, but he had so many ideas.
For example, today's method of attracting business was taught to him by Xu Zhushan, and he, the shopkeeper, just followed it.
Shopkeeper Jia was also not sure whether their boss was just pretending or was just too wise.
After a brief moment of inner emotion, the shopkeeper continued to say to Xu Zhushan: "In addition, a young man came to the store just now and asked me about you, boss. I answered according to what you told me before, saying that our boss does not see customers. "
Oh, okay."
"The young master also said that he came to cooperate with you, boss. He wants to get goods from you, boss, and open a store in the capital. I remember you mentioned it too, because every time Japan's goods are limited, and I will never cooperate with others, nor provide paper supplies to others, so I repeated the boss's intention to that person." "Yes, that's right." Xu Zhushan nodded
.
"Boss, forgive me for being curious. We only sell so much paper every day. Is the supply really tight?" Shopkeeper Jia couldn't help but be curious.
"Yes." Xu Zhushan replied.
Then Xu Zhushan thought of an important thing: "By the way, starting from tomorrow, we can no longer sell paper alone. We have to... we have to..."
Halfway through, Xu Zhushan got stuck. He thought seriously for a while before continuing, "I bought it together with the pens, inks and inkstones in the store. There is a specific piece of paper. I will give it to you!"
Xu Zhushan ran back to the house. When he ran back a while later, he had a piece of paper in his hand with dense writing on it. There was a page of handwriting, and the handwriting was not very good-looking, it was green and looked like the handwriting of a seven or eight-year-old child.
Shopkeeper Jia took the paper and looked at it. He was so surprised that he shouted "Wise!"
Of the Four Treasures of the Study sold in their shop, only paper is special, and the other three are common items that other stores also sell.
This also led to the fact that only paper was the best seller in the shop, and other items were rarely sold.
For example, today they sold out all the paper, and sold four pieces of pens, inks, and inkstones in total.
However, the paper Xu Zhushan gave him clearly stated the store's purchasing rules in the future. A "distribution system" would be implemented. If you buy paper directly, you can only buy twenty sheets at most. But if you buy it with other items in the store, you can Buy fifty or even eighty sheets of paper.
After reading it, Shopkeeper Jia still had doubts in his mind: "Boss, if we sell it like this, will those people refuse to buy it?" "It's okay, just
sell it like this. We won't force it. If you don't want to, you can still buy two. Ten pieces." Xu Zhushan said.
Shopkeeper Jia nodded, "Then I will sell according to this tomorrow. I will say goodbye today and come back tomorrow." Shopkeeper Jia said goodbye to Xu Zhushan.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Zhushan nodded.
After Xu Zhushan collected the account books, he was going to pick up his mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law had been busy doing things on the mountain every day for the past few days, and she had lost weight. She had to kill a chicken to make up for her at night.
Xu Zhushan smiled innocently while carrying the bamboo basket in the yard. The bamboo basket can help his wife carry things. If there is pigweed on the roadside, she can also cut some pigweed back.
