Chapter 277
"It's okay to talk about this at home. If word spreads, I won't protect you." Mrs. Xu smiled and poked her head.
Originally, Li Qingyou wanted to ask Mrs. Feng to help sell the first volume, but in the end she decided to do it herself. As soon as Mrs. Feng, the eldest daughter with a millionaire, acted like a madam in Cuihonglou for her books, Li Qingyou couldn't help but
Be patient.
Secondly, she didn't plan to make a one-time deal, she still had to lay the foundation for the next cooperation.
"You want to go to the Spring Banquet?" Mrs. Feng looked over in shock.
Li Qingyou nodded and saw Mrs. Feng hesitated a little, "Inconvenient?"
There's nothing inconvenient about it, it's just that I need to bring an extra person with me, so that's the deal.
A few days later, Mrs. Feng took Li Qingyou to the Spring Banquet. When she was in Qingshan County before, Mrs. Xu also held spring and autumn banquets, so she was no stranger to the rules at these banquets.
In addition, Li Qingyou's experience in business over the past few years has also played a big role. He knows best what to say to whom he meets and can turn a deaf ear to some unfriendly words.
Coupled with Mrs. Feng's blessing, Li Qingyou was at ease at the Spring Banquet. She enjoyed herself very much, and within a short time she was getting into a heated relationship with all the ladies. Li Qingyou also took this opportunity to sell her storybook.
"This is written by me. The first volume will be given away for free. If the ladies like it, I will send someone to Zhuangyuan Mansion to let them know. I will give it to a few more at that time." Li Qingyou distributed the books on hand to them.
All the noble ladies.
It was said that it was a free gift, but these noble ladies were used to competing with each other, so how could they take advantage of others in vain? They all asked the maids to give them reward money to buy it.
Li Qingyou didn't explicitly ask for the actual price, and all depended on the other party's reward. These noble ladies competed one by one to be generous. When they came out of the banquet, although they only gave away less than a hundred copies, they spent all their money quickly.
I got less than half of it back. Sure enough, rich people make more money.
Li Qingyou only breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. She had spent all the money she had before, but in fact she didn't know what she was doing. It was just that God had favored her.
With a good start, the next thing will be much easier, and Li Qingyou is busier than before.
Originally she only needed to sit in the house and write and draw every day, but now she has added an additional activity, which is socializing.
Because she entered the world of aristocratic ladies, Li Qingyou's picture albums basically stopped. After all, it would be bad for her to draw something like this once she was writing about women. Fortunately, she drew pictures and wrote such articles about CEOs.
This book does not use a pen name.
In this way, the free time for painting can be used for socializing.
There are five volumes of the President's Wenhua Book. Li Qingyou made a lot of money. When Mrs. Feng came this day, she took the initiative to ask her how much money she had used to pay the fine.
Li Qingyou didn't mention it before because she didn't have much on hand, so asking was in vain. Now she probably should be able to give it to her.
Feng Wenru tried his best to save her life, but it was hard to let others take advantage of her again.
Mrs. Feng's expression was stagnant. Of course she knew what happened to Li Qingyou. What she knew even more clearly was that there was no such thing as a so-called fine to compensate for the crime. It must have been her lieutenant who was the number one scholar.
Husband and wife are one, so she can't discredit her family, so she vaguely said that they are all one family, and it's too unreasonable to talk about money or not. Even when Li Qingyou wanted to say something else, she simply lost her temper and said, "You
If you insist on giving it, do you think you don't regard me as your sister?"
Li Qingyou hurriedly said no, "I just think that a relationship is a relationship and wealth is wealth. I can't let my sister spend money."
"That's a long way to go. Besides, you've done a lot of shopping for Yu'er this year, so it's worth it." Mrs. Feng said.
Yu'er is her and Feng Wenru's only son. From the time he was born until now, Li Qingyou has to give him something almost every few days.
Seeing that Mrs. Feng really didn't want it, Li Qingyou stopped being persistent and thought of other ways to return the money.
So Li Qingyou wanted to propose a partnership to do business. A few days ago, she accidentally heard that there was a strange scene in Yinquan Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing. It was said that hot water could emerge from the ground and there was a pungent smell.
Li Qingyou's first reaction was to hot springs. People in this era probably didn't know this yet, so they regarded it as a wonder. What she had to do was to buy this place before everyone else and open a hot spring resort.
But her strength alone is definitely not enough. She has money, but no power.
Once the hot spring villa is completed, it will definitely make a lot of money, and it will naturally attract countless coveted eyes. She will definitely not be able to keep it open just by relying on a small commoner.
Mrs. Feng is just right. Feng Wenru's official title is not high, but behind Mrs. Feng is Mr. Xiao Ge. He is the number one person in the cabinet. Even relatives of the emperor are not afraid of him.
As a result, just when Li Qingyou wanted to speak, Mrs. Feng also opened her mouth.
"Sister, tell me first." Li Qingyou said with a smile.
Mrs. Feng also laughed, and then sighed, "Sister, I really treat you as a sister. I don't know whether to say something or not."
Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment, looked at Mrs. Feng's solemn look, and nodded, "Sister, please tell me."
"You are not young anymore. It will be difficult to find someone after you turn twenty again. It's time to find someone to settle down with." Mrs. Feng said earnestly.
In fact, it's hard to find a girl now. Women can get married as soon as they are fifteen years old. Li Qingyou is already nineteen years old, so she is considered an older leftover girl.
"I know you have been thinking about your brother in your heart, but life has to pass, right? Are you just going to keep waiting like this?" Mrs. Feng sighed.
Since half a year after Li Qingyou entered the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Mrs. Feng started making arrangements to introduce her to people.
In view of the principle that she would rather be the wife of a poor man than the concubine of a rich man, Mrs. Feng initially found common people for her with average family backgrounds, including shopkeepers from the shops she was married to, and servants from the No. 1 scholar's palace.
There are also students from relatively poor families who have just passed the exam.
Later, as Li Qingyou's monthly income increased, she began to look for people with slightly better conditions, such as those who were promoted to civil servants, Jinshi, etc., as well as those whose father's official position was relatively low, their family background was average, and their family tradition was upright.
However, Li Qingyou never let go.
"Sister knows that you don't want to be a concubine, so all I told you was to marry someone who would become your wife." Mrs. Feng said, "Women always want to marry, don't you? Do you really plan to live alone for the rest of your life?"
No one will care for you until you die?"
Li Qingyou, "..."
When she was only nineteen years old, she thought about retiring in old age. Isn't it too early?
In her previous life, she was nineteen years old and still studying in college.
