In order to commemorate his father and pass it on, Xiao Ran still named the bookstore Qingfengzhai.Bai Ye asked Xiao Ran to write an inscription, and specially made a large plaque to hang on the gate, which looks a bit imposing.

The shop was already quite big, and it was too empty with just a few bookcases.Mr. Liu came up with an idea, saying that half of it should be a bookstore, and the other half should be equipped with tables and chairs so that those who come to buy books can sit down and read them.Xiao Ran thought it was good, so he used half of the store area to set up a few tables and chairs, and put the Four Treasures of the Study on them in a decent manner. He didn't forget to put a set of tea sets on each table, and put a few books on the desk that he thought were good. Miscellaneous.

On the opening day, it was very lively, not to mention how many firecrackers were set at the door, Bai Ye originally wanted to invite the lion dance team over, but luckily Xiao Ran stopped it.

Xuantianmen specially called several smart guys over to entertain the guests who came to see the fun that day.When Xiao Ran was in Wuzhou City, he had some friendship with the literati in this city, so he had prepared a post for them early on.The face of Xuantianmen is also great, even the magistrate came to close the ceremony.

But the most unexpected thing is that Leng Fengyin, the owner of Deyilou, will come here in person.

He was still dressed in purple and was wearing a white robe, Canxing. Behind Canxing was Empty Words in Tsing Yi, followed by two servants carrying a huge flower basket.Swaggering to the door, Leng Fengyin, who was already laughing so confoundingly, saw the smile that hurried out of the store to salute him, and smiled so hard that he couldn't even see him, stepped forward to support Xiao, and then took his hand hold on.

"How can you come out to greet customers on such a hot day? For those small customers, let the guys do it. The big and respectable people are all in the house. Naturally, you, the boss, should stay in the house to take care of them."

Leng Feng smiled kindly, Xiao Ran didn't sense any malice from this man, and heard him reasoning for himself, so he let him hold his hand and walk inside. "Master Leng, what you said is, please come inside, there is iced ebony soup ready, can you sit down for a while?"

Leng Fengyin pulled Xiao Ran aside. "I don't want to go in. I just took a look. They are all the bosses who are always running around. Canxing is also here. If there is a disturbance at that time, I'm afraid your bookstore will be tarnished."

Xiao Ran understood Leng Fengyin's thoughts, and hurriedly bowed deeply again as a thank you. "Master Leng, you are very thoughtful, Xiao Ran needs more advice from you in the future."

"What advice? You've dealt with this kind of thing a lot, so you'll understand it naturally." Leng Fengyin covered his lips with a smile on his sleeve, but muttered softly behind his sleeve.

It's really a bad thing if you become refined, but you, Xiao Ran, should maintain your simplicity now!

Bai Ye sees Xiao Ran almost all the time now, he finished his work in the store, he looked around, where is Xiao Ran?

Looking again, wasn't it Canxing and Kong Yan who walked in the door?Then he greeted him and asked directly, where is Xiao Ran?Did you see him when you came in?

Canxing snorted coldly, and said with a sneer, "Bai Ye, you are the one who entertains guests like this? Why don't people ask me for Xiao Ran without saying hello first?"

"Why don't you just come here and join in the fun?" Bai Ye folded his arms and snorted coldly, scanning the bookshelves with his chin. "Here, go buy a book, go buy a book, although you won't be like Xiao Ran's if you read more, but it's better than a country kid."

Canxing got angry when he heard that, if it wasn't for the empty words to pull him, he would have rushed up and scratched Hua Baiye's face with his claws - regardless of whether it would be successful or not.

"Mr. Bai, stop making trouble with our son. Mr. Xiao is at the door, talking to our landlord." Although Kong Yan is a few years younger than Canxing, once Bai Ye and Canxing get into a fight, he is often the only one who acts calmly. role of persuasion.

As soon as Bai Ye knew where Xiao Ran was, he ignored the angry Canxing and walked out the door. When he got to the door, he suddenly turned back, came to Canxing and said with a smile, "I thought about it, Canxing. It's true that I was a little rude. Come on, let me take a look around with you, Xiao Ran spent all his time in this store, and I'm sorry for Xiao Ran's intentions if no one explains it to you. "

"Hmph, even if you still know how to be a man for Xiao Ran!" Canxing turned her face and hummed again, but still followed behind Bai Ye.

In the place where the tables and chairs are placed in the shop, there are already many people sitting there, like those literati, like the magistrate, etc.

According to Leng Fengyin's words, which ones here are not regular customers of Deyilou?There are also a few who have never seen or heard of Canxing's name. Even if they have no interest in Xiaowan, there are not a few people who are arty.But Canxing was always the number one picky customer, and since he was redeemed, he didn't see anyone anymore. When everyone saw Canxing coming behind Bai Ye, their eyes were straightened.

Canxing is also a shrewd person. When he saw so many people with weird eyes and even familiar faces, he understood Bai Ye's evil intentions with a quick mind, and Bai Ye stopped him when he turned around and wanted to leave. "Is it hot? Go over there and sit down? There's also iced sour plum soup, Canxing, you're welcome."

Canxing, who was forced to sit down by Bai Ye, only had time to give Bai Ye a vicious look, but at this moment Bai Ye had already secretly happily ran away.

I didn't see Xiao Ran when I left the store, but there seemed to be someone standing at the entrance of the alley next to it, a purple sleeve flickered.

I remember that Leng Fengyin likes to wear purple clothes, but if it is really him, why are they hiding in the alley?

Bai Ye walked over quickly, turned to the alley, and saw Li Ran and Leng Fengyin standing inside, Leng Fengyin was still holding Xiao Ran's hand?

Bai Ye frowned fiercely, stepped forward a few steps and shouted: "Xiao Ran...Lengzhuzhu, you are here too, why don't you come and sit in the shop?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and put his hand on Li Ran's hand which was being held by Leng Fengyin casually. "Xiao Ran, you are too. It's so hot, how can you let Master Leng stand under the sun?"

The landlord Leng let go of his hand immediately, as fast as he didn't like to be in contact with others.He straightened his sleeves with a calm expression and said with a smile: "Don't blame Xiao Ran, I said I didn't like the crowds inside, so I specially asked Xiao Ran to talk here. Mr. Bai, it seems that you are more enthusiastic than Master Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran is really lucky to have a brother-in-law like you."

Intentionally or not, the word brother-in-law was accentuated, as if to remind Bai Ye of his identity.

Bai Ye pulled up Li Ran's sleeve, and said with a smile: "The landlord Leng was joking, but it's just that my status as brother-in-law allows me to get in touch with Li Ran and know his good things. Bai Ye also thank you for Li Ran, thanks for your patronage, Qingfeng Zhai made a good start."

Yesterday afternoon, a boy came from Deyilou, and said that Louzhu Leng ordered some calligraphy, painting, ink and paper, and popular books from Qingfengzhai. The pure profit of ten grain silver.

To Xiao Ran, twenty grains of silver was a huge sum.In the past, he was a teacher, and the whole year of his work might be nothing more than a few taels of silver. If he encountered a bad year, he might be even poorer.Therefore, with such a huge harvest all at once like now, Xiao Ran was speechless for a while.

Even Mr. Liu, who is used to seeing big deals, clicked his tongue. The landlord Leng is really generous, but only the ostentation of the Deyilou can be so generous, so I told Xiao Ran a few times that he must maintain the relationship with the landlord Leng. relationship, so that we can do long-term business in the future.

Bai Ye murmured in his heart at the time, this boss Leng is really surprising, everyone said that although this person is in charge of Deyilou, he doesn't like to get in touch with people too much, and they say behind his back that he is quite aloof, how can he treat Xiao Ran with such enthusiasm Woolen cloth?

This person actually came here in person today?

A person like Bai Ye is unlikely to tolerate someone who is more arrogant than him, so he was already a little curious and disdainful about this legendary Leng Fengyin, but now he is pulling Xiao Ran into secret talks and gossiping Seeing Xiao Ran not letting go of his hand and saying words to run on him, the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately became heavier.

"It's easy to say, but Boss Xiao actually solved a big problem for me!" Leng Fengyin giggled, and took Xiao Ran's hand again, smiling sincerely. "Don't think that Deyilou is a brothel, but those literati or officials can also recite poems and paint paintings when they are having a good time. Where is our Deyilou? Can we entertain them with some low-end things? I have always had a headache without a stable place. The channel to buy this kind of goods, either the quality will deteriorate after a while, or the place where the original supply is not stable, hey, in short, I have been worrying about this for a long time!"

You talk as soon as you speak, why do you keep holding us, Xiao Ran?Bai Ye stared coldly at the eyes-obscuring green hands for a while, then raised his head and said, "Boss Leng and Canxing came here together, right?"

"Canxing and Xiao Ran are on good terms, but I followed Canxing. Xiao Ran, won't it cause any inconvenience to you?"

Xiao Ran was in a hurry to be polite, but Bai Ye said first: "Of course, we welcome Mr. Leng's visit, but when I came out just now, I saw that Canxing seemed to be surrounded by the magistrate and those scholars."

The corner of Leng Fengyin's eyes twitched, cursing inwardly.Can Canxing not know, how could the people he taught by himself be so confused that he went to join in the fun among those people by himself?

Although Canxing was redeemed by Bai Ye, Bai Ye has often come to Deyilou to look for Canxing in the past two years, but there is no relationship between Canxing and Bai Ye. Zhai is still a small bookstore, and the people who come here often are scholars. What kind of world can you see? Not to mention you are such a peerless person, just Canxing is enough to attract these nerds. If there is a need in the future, It's just to send a servant, why do you come here in person?" Bai Ye didn't feel that he was rude, it's better to get rid of hidden dangers as soon as possible, although Deyilou is a big customer, but Xiao Ran didn't plan to make a fortune in the first place, a small business Leisure life is suitable for this person.

Leng Fengyin sneered in his heart, how do you think your appearance, Bai Ye, is any worse than mine?You don’t even look in the mirror by yourself, how dare you talk about me?But I don't want to get too entangled with Bai Ye on this issue. What Bai Ye said is right, it is really inconvenient for him to come to Qingfengzhai with his current status.

Then he laughed and said: "Young Master Bai is really considerate for Xiao Ran, that's right, I just came here today to congratulate Xiao Ran, and I'm leaving here. By the way, Xiao Ran, if you have time tonight, come to Deyilou, Canxing is busy today I haven't said a few words to you, I must be getting angry, if you feel inconvenient, just come in through the back door, and I will order the gatekeeper to open the door for you."

In fact, Xiao Ran already had a good impression of Leng Fengyin, who is always gentle and elegant, not to mention Leng Louzhu is still his current big customer, he was secretly worried that Bai Ye's words were so rude just now, but fortunately Leng Fengyin did not change his face, now hearing his invitation, he bowed his head in a hurry Said: "Okay, Xiao Ran will definitely come to visit at night, please trouble the landlord Leng."
