As if he had seen through Mr. Gu's thoughts, Gu Jue took a sip of water and then said nonchalantly,

"Since there are different types of books, why can't vernacular novels be used? Moreover, who stipulates that vernacular novels can only write about infatuated men and women, and can only write about love? Since no one stipulates this, why can't we write long novels? Why can't we write stories without love?"

"I don't care whether you write about love or not. I just want to make money. You can write about anything else. I have no objection even if you write about the grudges and hatreds in the harem."

Although there are vernacular novels in the current dynasty, they are very rare.

Few people would write storybooks, and even if they did, they would write about love, hate, and sorrow. She was actually not interested in this kind of storybook at all.

Moreover, the scale of these storybooks is very large. Basically, all the storybooks nowadays are boudoir storybooks, which cannot be sold openly, let alone told openly.

Therefore, she needed a book that could be sold openly, not only to bookstores, but also to her teahouse.

She originally just planned to open a teahouse to make things easier for her in the future.

There are already several famous restaurants in Yanjing. If we open another one, we won’t make any money and won’t achieve our goal.

The teahouse is the most suitable place. The largest restaurant in Yanjing, Fushilou, can also be considered a teahouse. The talented men and young masters of Yanjing also go to Fushilou to drink tea and chat.

After much thought, she decided to open a formal teahouse, and it was because of Chengcheng that she thought of the bookstore.

Chengcheng loves to write storybooks, which is a perfect opportunity. He can make money by selling them, and they can also be used as a major selling point for the teahouse, so both goals are easily achieved.

However, Chengcheng alone is not enough. Besides, Chengcheng has to manage the bookstore and cannot devote himself to writing books.

So, she thought of her second uncle.

In his previous life, since my second uncle was able to make money to support his family by writing storybooks, it proved that he had the ability to write books that would be applauded by others.

Moreover, other people didn't know about Second Uncle's talent, but she knew it clearly. If Second Uncle's leg was fine, he would have been an official in the imperial court. At the very least, his talent should be known to everyone in Yanjing.

However, what my second uncle needs now is a change in his mindset.

After thinking for a while, Gu Jue asked a question to Gu Erye who was thinking.

"Uncle, I have a question for you. Which one would you choose? Abandon the character of a scholar and write novels to earn money to support the family so that Aunt and the others can live well. Or stick to the character of a scholar and let your wife and daughter live a hard life? "

Seeing that Mr. Gu's pupils constricted and his mouth moved, but he couldn't say anything.

Gu Jue knew that her goal was about to be achieved.

He stood up, patted his clothes, and looking at Mr. Gu Er who was frowning, Gu Jue helped him make a decision.

"Second Aunt will be happy."

Looking at Master Gu who looked up at her blankly because of her words, Gu Jue said something in a light tone and then left.

"If Second Uncle has made up his mind, someone will come to take you away in the evening."

Master Gu looked at Gu Jue who had already walked away, thought about Gu Jue's last words, and made a decision.

It's just the character of a scholar, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have it! His wife and daughter are the most important!

Isn't it just a storybook? He wrote as much as he wanted, and it would be a long story.

All he wanted was for his wife and daughter to live well. His dignity and character were unimportant. Nothing was more important than Lian'er and his daughters.

After what the old Marquis Gu had done during this period, Second Master Gu had become completely disappointed with the Marquisate, and had also become completely hopeless about the old Marquis and the old lady.

In their eyes, their family could be sacrificed at any time. However, that was his wife and daughter, his future, his life, and he could not go on like this.

So, when someone came to take him away from the Marquis' Mansion in the evening, Master Gu followed them without saying a word, and did not even take anything with him, not even the jade pendant he wore all year round.

When Master Gu finally saw his wife and daughter, he finally settled down and firmly affirmed his choice.

His wife and daughter are doing well without any hardship.

Seeing his wife starting to cry as soon as she saw him, Gu Qi couldn't hold back any longer and went forward to hug Song Lian.

The two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time talked all night and didn't go to bed until dawn.

Gu Jue was indeed right. When Gu Qi told Song Lian the conditions he agreed to Gu Jue, Song Lian was indeed very happy.

Seeing his wife who hadn't smiled like this for a long time, Gu Qi felt very sad. Only then did he realize how wrong he had been. His wife would not look down on Gu Qi who had lost his literary integrity.
