: ☆Chapter 39 Brother and Sister Grief

Xiao Liu is working hard, and Zhu Nannan and others will naturally not lag behind. Although he is a little uncomfortable, um, have you ever seen that poor student suddenly feel comfortable working?

Zhu Xiangxiang expressed her relief. She did not expect that her brother would become diligent because of Xiaoliu's change. It can be seen how important the growth of a circle of friends is.

Zhu Xiangxiang sighed with emotion.

"Sister, sister..." He waved his hand, why did this sister become more and more dumbfounded, I was really worried.

"Okay, let's continue." Seeing that the registration for the beauty pageant was about to end, many of their preparatory work had also been done.

But because there are a lot of bad things recently, she hasn't explained it to his brother in detail. It's hard to catch him, so naturally she has to explain it carefully.

But she was distracted again.

"In fact, the so-called newspapers are basically the same as those books, but there are some subtle differences. The essence is different. The content of the books is single, and students and essays who are not going to take the imperial examination will not buy them, but newspapers It’s not. We want to make it easy to understand, that is, if you can read a little, you will find it interesting and want to buy it.”

"kindness."

Zhu Nannan still listened carefully, mainly because he found this incident more interesting.

Moreover, he listened to Xiao Liu's words.

Zhu Xiangxiang scooped out the materials she prepared in advance. In fact, she doesn't know how to write calligraphy, but she directly wrote modern Chinese characters. This is also not afraid of cheating. The former Zhu Xiangxiang also didn't know how to type. Seeing Zhu Xiangxiang's lack of strokes and strokes, Zhu Xiangxiang sighed, so innocent to help her everywhere. Except for the numbers, Zhu Xiangxiang wrote everything else in a blur, so now she doesn't care about the Chinese characters.

Looking at the paper scooped up by his sister, Zhu Nannan Khan, it's terrible to be uneducated.

It is said that he is ignorant, look at the word sister, alas!

"This word?" He frowned contemptuously.

Seeing Zhu Nannan's ridicule, she stared.

"What's wrong with this word? It's fine if you can understand it. Besides, you haven't been to school, and you go to school every day. You're not that bastard." She put her hips on her hips and stared.

Zhu Nannan ran away with his head in his arms.

"Okay, okay, sister, can't you make a mistake? It's wrong, it's really wrong. Let's continue. Come on." He smiled flatteringly.

He gave him a blank look: "Study carefully, and you can't always teach us. The layout is very important, and you put the name of your newspaper in this position. Running a newspaper requires less investment and less risk. It may be difficult in the early stage, but it will be difficult in the later stage. Shun Liu is very profitable."

"Then sister, isn't the price you set earlier too cheap? Why don't you think it's inappropriate?"

"That's the price. I thought it would be cheaper, but if it's too cheap, the price difference at the beginning will be even bigger. What we have to do is to make a name for the newspaper. Only when the newspaper has made a name, we Only then can we really make money, that is to say, what we earn is not money from selling newspapers, but advertising fees.”

"Advertising fee?" Zhu Nannan didn't understand.

"Yes, the advertising fee is to print the names of some merchants on the newspaper. Those who buy newspapers will see the advertisements of the shops they advertised, and more people will go to their shops." Seeing my brother is still not happy All too well, she explained.

"Look, I often read the newspaper, and every time I see that Yuweizhai's dim sum is delicious, so, will you buy it?"

"meeting."

"Well, that's what it means."

Now Zhu Nannan understood.

"Besides, I didn't read much before. Advertisements are cheaper for us. After a long time, our newspapers have matured. Should we raise the price?" Zhu Xiangxiang tried to persuade.

Hearing this, Zhu Nannan felt that he was really not as good as his sister.

Among other things, in terms of making money, he is definitely not even one-tenth of his sister's.

Zhu Xiangxiang is not proud of seeing the starry eyes that his brother admires. Does it mean that being worshiped by a waste like Zhu Nannan is something to be proud of? really?

"However, this matter of advertising will only get better later. It won't be particularly good for the time being. So, we have to make preparations, but it won't be much better at the beginning. Since they insist on getting involved, then Just go and tell them, let them pull an advertisement back." She didn't care about that, and the family took away three-quarters of a good piece of meat.

She will not be polite.

"Ah, that's it, sister, can, can it work?"

"Why not, just tell them like this, it's the same, isn't it fair?"

She had already thought about it.

"What..." He jumped up in surprise, who is he going to pull!

Woohoo.

"I've thought about all of this, and invite my cousin to our house." We must make the best use of everything that can be used.

She smiled smugly.

"Cousin, cousin? Sister, be careful about hitting cousin?" Isn't this seeking skin from a tiger? Moreover, remembering that his cousin had turned into his prospective sister-in-law, Zhu Nannan felt very uncomfortable!

"Don't worry, let's convince him, but you have to be a companion, see how you talked to him, and then go and tell the gang."

"good."

This newspaper was run by Xiao Zhu, Xiao Liu, Xiao Song and Xiao Lin.

There's no reason we only scoop commissions, right?

And the other three also knew that they forced their way in, otherwise the Zhu family didn't intend to take them to play. And the Laozi of several families will also accept the love of the Zhu family.

Since you are sympathetic, you should help at the beginning, right?

In fact, Zhu Xiangxiang thought about their involvement for a long time when he was recovering from his injuries. In fact, it was not without benefits! It's really not good for them to get involved in the short term, which affects their income, but in the long run, it's definitely good.

After all, the veins of these companies are very large. What they can get is far beyond their imagination.

Zhu Nannan studied it seriously, but he really understood it. I went back and talked to a few little brothers.

Everyone feels that this Miss Xiangxiang of the Zhu family is really not simple. Look at Jia's money-making brain, it's so easy to use.

But I am also deeply ashamed of the matter of sponsorship, depressed, where can I get it! Xiao Lin was fine, his family was already in business, so he started directly from his own family. But what about the other three!

But what to do!

Zhu Nannan glanced at Xiaoliu: "Well, I should get sponsorship from my cousin." His voice was a little low.

Xiao Song glanced at Xiao Liu's expression, and found that he didn't have any superfluous expressions. Since Zhu Xiangxiang got engaged, Xiao Liu has become very powerful and calm, and he is not with them all the time like before, especially in his studies. A lot of hard work.

Just like now, they can no longer see what he means.

He was unbelievably calm.

So did Zhu Nannan, he was relieved to see that Xiao Liu didn't have any special expression.

Zhu Nannan and Xiao Lin are innocent, but Xiao Song feels that Xiao Liu has become like this. I really can't say whether it's good or not, they used to be carefree and very happy, but now they are not.

Xiao Liu now has a sullen face every day, even Yan Yicheng's expression is much prettier than his.

Xiao Song sighed, Zhu Xiangxiang, is it really so important?

No matter what happens to Xiao Liu, Zhu Xiangxiang still lives as usual, she lives her life.

Looking at Zhu Xiangxiang in men's clothes, Bai said: "There are a lot of women going out today, so it doesn't matter if they don't change into men's clothes. Look at this nondescript look."

"It's more convenient to wear this. There must be a lot of them today, and skirts are inconvenient. And it can also help them or something."

"A girl, don't make do with selling newspapers, what does she look like?"

The newspaper went out smoothly, Zhu Xiangxiang approached Bai Pingyou before, and explained the truth. Bai Pingyou is more calculating than Zhu Xiangxiang. But he didn't agree directly, so he stretched.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiangxiang has a recruit, heh! Her mother, Mrs. Bai, is one of the two. There is no need to do anything, staying where is the best support for her. This bad guy can't bear to refute his aunt's wishes.

Thus, Bai Pingyou became the newspaper's first advertiser.

Now that he agreed, Bai Pingyou is not a good person, he kept the advertising fee very low, and the two signed a one-year contract.

In the end, Bai Pingyou sighed, this fiancée is still facing her natal family.

Zhu Xiangxiang was provoked for a while.

"Even if you don't want to help, you still have to read it. Today is the first issue of the newspaper. How much effort has been spent, of course we have to see the results."

"I didn't say that I wouldn't let you go, I always have something to say. When my brother and the others get used to each other and get to know each other well, then don't join me, girl."

Of course Zhu Xiangxiang knew about this problem, and she didn't think about following him from beginning to end. Since her brother was interested, she wouldn't get involved too much.

But in the early stage, she will still stare more. If my brother can not neglect his job because of this, it is actually very good.

"Don't delay going out today for too long, you should come back earlier, you know?" Bai Shi reminded, Bai Shi didn't go out today, Zhu Xiangxiang went out with his second aunt and cousin.

"En, I see." This evening, the two aunts are going to come over as guests. Xiangxiang's second aunt married a wealthy family and had been a wife for a long time. She was extremely displeased that her eldest sister had to marry an old and poor poor scholar. It's less, although Zhu County magistrate was later promoted to county magistrate, but the estrangement is over, Bai's temperament is carefree, and he doesn't care.

The second aunt, on the other hand, held onto her status, and felt that although Mrs. Bai was an official wife now, she was not as good as her back then.

Moreover, the magistrate of Zhu County loves money, and the second aunt's husband's family is a business in the county. Since they want to do business, they must respect their parents and officials. And County Magistrate Zhu never asked for much, which made Lin Bai even more objectionable, thinking that this brother-in-law, even if he had some knowledge, was very stingy.

Therefore, the friendship between the two is also faint.

And the third aunt, Zhang Baishi, has always followed the second sister.

Although the conditions of the Zhang family were much better than the previous Zhu family, they were not a wealthy family. Later, the Zhu family became stronger and his family became weaker and weaker. Naturally, the Zhang Bai family wanted to gain some advantage from the sisters.

But if you want to say that you are poor, there is absolutely no such thing.

The third aunt has the habit of taking advantage, and Zhu County Magistrate is good for every penny, and Zhu Xiangxiang is a master who will not let the family take advantage. Therefore, the third aunt also became displeased with the elder sister's family just like the second aunt.

Generally speaking, among the four children of the Bai family, Uncle Bai and Mrs. Bai are closer, while Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zhang are closer.

"I didn't see them for my uncle's birthday a few days ago." Xiangxiang muttered.

Seeing her daughter muttering, Mrs. Bai explained: "A few days ago, the second aunt took Xiuyun to visit her aunt's house in Zhucheng, and the third aunt knew about it, so she insisted on bringing Qianyu with her. She is always so disrespectful. No, it was cloudy and rainy in Pearl City a few days ago, which delayed their return trip, not only missed uncle's banquet, but also Xiao Ding."

Mentioning this, Bai Shi was also somewhat displeased.

My daughter Xiaoding!

Zhu Xiangxiang stuck out her tongue. Although Bai knew that this engagement was just a stopgap measure, she still hoped that the two families could really get married, and she showed it positively.

Zhu Xiangxiang didn't tell Bai's what he had or didn't because of this matter, he already got a bargain, so why bother to talk to his mother!

"Then it's Hexi Xiaoding they are here tonight?" She asked.

The third aunt is so picky, maybe she can't give anything.

In fact, Xiangxiang was wrong about this point. His third aunt is really different from Uncle Bai. She is not picky, but she is willing to take advantage of others. According to Bai, in fact, Zhang Bai already had signs of this when she was not married. Later, when the family conditions became more tense, it became more obvious. I don't know who praised her, so she evolved step by step. Become what it is today.

"Second aunt's Xiuyun and third aunt's Qianyu both came back to participate in this oiran contest. When they came here at night, it was He Xiaoding on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was probably to inquire about news from dad, right? It's not that they don't know, they Came here last year too."

"I also know that my brain is hard to use!" She smiled and grabbed Bai's arm.

"The Oiran Contest is the highlight of our Shonan Daily. We also analyzed a few popular girls who participated in the election. Hehe, they are not really popular."

Xiangxiang looked at Bai Shi while speaking.

Bai nodded, of course they are not popular. The most popular this year are all the girls who participated in the election for the first time. Many girls were rejected last year, and they will run again this year. The chances of winning are really slim. It should be explained that there are indeed such things as Zhu Mengchen, but how many people are there in the world?

Their beauty pageant has been around for more than ten years. It is a mature competition. The possibility of this kind of situation happening is not high.

"If you want to talk about these cousins, I think Xiuyun from the second aunt's family is the best in terms of appearance and talent, but I also know that this woman is more beautiful and talented than her. , but there are too many. It is difficult to get a good ranking. She chose to go to the state capital last year, but she still lost and returned. The second aunt usually has a very strong temper, but Xiuyun followed her. "

Zhu Xiangxiang didn't have much contact with this cousin of his family, so he naturally didn't know what kind of temperament Xiuyun was, but now it seems that she is probably a strong girl. It's not that it's bad to be strong, but it probably doesn't fit her temperament well, hehe.

Zhu Xiangxiang went out with his second aunt Yu Meili and cousin Yinglian. Zhu Yinglian also complained when she saw her in men's clothing.

Originally, he wanted Xiangxiang to stay with her all the time, but now that she was dressed in men's clothes, he knew that this was really not going to work. In any case, "men and women" are always different.

Zhu Xiangxiang bowed with a smile, dressed like a young prince, from a distance, he is not familiar with Zhu Nannan, so he might admit his mistake.

Without any delay, they came directly to the venue. Zhu Yinglian is the woman who is going to run for the election, so naturally she has to arrive early, but judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that everyone came very early, also, there are no good entertainment activities in this ancient time, this year's beauty pageant is naturally attractive All eyes.

For the time being, she didn't pay attention to the girls in the beauty pageant, anyway, she had to prepare for a while, and Cousin Yinglian also promised herself that she would provide first-hand information. She looked around and saw a newsstand not far away.

It was the first time the newspaper went out on the street, and they were not hired, but the young masters of several families couldn't sell newspapers in the street.

So Zhu Xiangxiang suggested that a family should have three servants.

Of course, his family didn't have so many servants available, and her brother only had one servant available.

Nitrogen, there is always a way.

That is, her cousin Bai Pingyou.

Originally, she had the idea of ​​the yamen servants, but on such a day, the yamen servants are so busy that they all need to maintain order on the spot, so how can they help her. She had no choice but to ask Bai Pingyou for help.

But she didn't come to beg, she just came up with an idea, Zhu Nannan went to beg Bai Shi, Bai Shi told his nephew, it was really useful.

In fact, she was very surprised why Bai Pingyou treated Bai Shi so well. Later, after listening to my brother, I realized that when Bai Shi was not married before, she treated Bai Pingyou the best and was the most kind. , always arrogant and domineering, and even though Bai Pingyou grew up, he still remembered how his aunt used to protect him.

Zhu Nannan gave Zhu Xiangxiang a thumbs up, saying that she had caught her cousin's pulse door, Zhu Xiangxiang smiled and said nothing, but what kind of pulse door is this actually? It can only be said that Bai Pingyou is emotional.

However, he is also a businessman, and businessmen pay more attention to profit than parting, and now it's just because they have no interests involved.

Zhu Xiangxiang's temperament is actually very strange, she is very kind to many people, especially her own relatives, but if there are other men who may have a relationship with her, she will maliciously speculate and leave.

She is such a smart woman, she can't fail to see what Xiao Liu did after she was injured, but she still told herself not to think about it. As for her presumed cousin, she also speculates with the greatest malice.

Unexpectedly, she thought of Yan Yicheng's face, she couldn't tell, in her heart, was he Xiao Yan or his former big brother. However, thinking of the past, that lonely big brother actually left traces in her heart.

She will always remember her joy of waiting for him, but unfortunately, life is always like this, whether he has changed after all, power is still more important.

Shaking his head, Zhu Xiangxiang cheered up, but met a smiling face.

"Miss Zhu also came to see the Oiran Competition?" It was Yan Yicheng who she had just thought about.

Xu Shi had thought of him just now, and seeing him so suddenly, she blushed a little, a little unnaturally.

But Yan Yicheng was stunned by her behavior.

The two just looked at each other.

"Sister." Zhu Nannan saw Zhu Xiangxiang from a distance. Now that his sister is engaged, he naturally wouldn't want to send her and Xiao Liu to make a pile. After greeting Xiao Liu and others, he rushed over to Zhu Xiangxiang.

But he saw Yan Yicheng walking towards his sister, looking at him from a distance, he felt that Yan Yicheng and his sister were quite compatible, and the two seemed to have affectionate eyebrows.

Feeling a little uneasy, he hurried over, pulled Zhu Xiangxiang behind him, and stared at Yan Yicheng who was opposite him.

Yan Yicheng regained his energy, "It's so complicated, Mr. Zhu should stay with Ms. Zhu. After all, Ms. Zhu is still a woman." After signaling to Zhu Xiangxiang, Yan Yicheng turned and left.

"Sister is a woman and is engaged, how can she talk to a strange man? Could it be that he, Yan Yicheng, wants to covet wealth and seduce his sister." Zhu Nannan didn't like Yan Yicheng, so he spoke fiercely.

Originally, Zhu Xiangxiang was fine, but after hearing what he said, Zhu Xiangxiang also turned cold.

She values ​​relatives, but she doesn't condone them.

At this time, Zhu Nannan didn't see anything wrong with Zhu Xiangxiang.

"You should call your cousin to go out with you. It's so inconvenient to go out with Second Aunt and the others and wear men's clothing."

In fact, Zhu Nannan should also know that what he said about women does not apply to Zhu Xiangxiang. If it was a normal one, maybe he wouldn't take it seriously, it's just that he felt uncomfortable after seeing Yan Yicheng and his younger sister.

Zhu Xiangxiang is also a temperamental person. When he saw Zhu Nannan, he still said that there are some things that are not. He turned around and left, but Zhu Nannan didn't expect Xiangxiang to leave, and grabbed her wrist from behind.

"Sister..." He originally wanted to educate his sister, but he was surprised to see Zhu Xiangxiang's cold face.

"What's the matter?" She was very cold.

Rumbly letting go of his hand, he could see that Zhu Xiangxiang was unhappy, and he was always belatedly aware of this.

"Sister, just now, just now..."

Zhu Xiangxiang just looked at him like this, and found that he couldn't tell why.

He just flicked his sleeves and left.

The two brothers and sisters in this room were having an awkward fight, while Xiao Liu was staring at Xiang Xiang intently over there, he had seen the scene just now. look away,

Looking at Yan Yicheng who was walking to the other side, he clenched his fists.

At this moment, I don't know what he is thinking.
