The Royal’s Little Lady Chapter 170: You are so brave

Chu Yingying’s words won everyone’s praise.

And she was smart enough not to take everything on herself. In the name of the court, when the matter was resolved, it would be the court that everyone would be grateful to.

This little girl is downplaying her contribution to movable type printing and letting students all over the world thank the court instead of her!

A very smart little girl.

This is Wei Congti’s most intuitive feeling.

Chu Yingying said to him: "If you are not in a hurry, please stop waiting and I will think of a solution."

To be so concerned about price, I guess my family is not very wealthy.

Wei Zongti bowed her hands and said, "Thank you, girl. If there is any girl who needs me, I'd like to help."

How could he, a grown man, be willing to watch a little girl busy with her business?

After all, this kind of thing is related to the interests of every student, so he naturally has to work hard to fight for it.

Chu Yingying nodded, not to mention that there was really one, she asked: "Do you know what the prices are at other bookstores in Xinhe Town?"

"Either these books are not available, and some are priced at this price. I heard that several other towns are like this."

Chu Yingying raised her eyebrows.

Oh, it looks like someone above has set a unified price for them?

How interesting.

You are so brave.

"Okay, I'll go find Mr. Si to report the situation." Chu Yingying still knew her own weight.

She is not qualified to investigate this kind of thing, so it is the safest thing to go to Mr. Si.

Wei Congti nodded and watched Chu Yingying leave.

That boss Wang left quickly, in a good mood.

After arriving at the Si Mansion, Chu Yingying went directly to see Mr. Si without any communication.

It just so happened that Mr. Si was free and chatting with his wife and concubine. It seemed that they were talking about the children?

Chu Yingying calculated that this child must be five or six months old. No wonder Master Si is so concerned about it.

"Is Yingying here?" Mrs. Si stood up with a smile and called to your maid, "Go and get Yingying a cup of hot milk tea with more red beans. She likes to eat it. Let the kitchen make two plates of date paste and yam pastries. Come."

"Yes, ma'am."

Seeing Mrs. Si like this, Chu Yingying felt sweet in her heart. She felt really happy that her preferences could be remembered by others.

Xintian also said jokingly: "Look how happy Madam is to see Miss Chu Er, just like seeing her own daughter."

"I wish I had such a well-behaved, sensible and capable daughter!"

Mrs. Si smiled from ear to ear when she saw Chu Yingying. She pulled Chu Yingying to sit down and asked a few questions about home affairs with concern.

Chu Yingying responded one by one, and then Mrs. Si asked her: "Are you busy today? By the way, don't leave later, stay for dinner. Then I will give you this quarter's money by the way. It’s over, you take it.”

The store business that Chu Yingying and Mrs. Si cooperated with has always been settled every three months. This was proposed by Chu Yingying to save trouble.

"Well, I have something to do with the adults."

"Look at you kid, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Mrs. Si stood up and said to Mr. Si: "Yingying likes the eight-treasure glutinous rice chicken I made. I'll go to the kitchen to see if it's available and prepare it early."

"Well, go ahead."

This was because she knew that Chu Yingying had something to discuss with Mr. Si, so she immediately found a reason to hide out. She was very knowledgeable.

But Xintian was different, she was still peeling melon seeds for Master Si with a sweet smile.

She left after Master Si spoke.

Before leaving, Xintian actually stood up and saluted Chu Yingying.

"Miss Chu Er, I am a slave and I am not smart enough, so... I am laughing."

Then he left lonely.

Chu Yingying:? ? ?

What's wrong?

Would it be uncomfortable if the woman in the back house was not always scheming?

"I, this, sir?"

Chu Yingying looked at Master Si with a confused look on her face, expressing that she really didn’t understand Xintian’s tricks.

Master Si waved his hand: "Don't worry about her timidity. Why are you here today?"

Chu Yingying:......

Hehe! She is timid, so that means she is fierce, right? What the hell!

It's a mess.

But Chu Yingying finally remembered the purpose of her visit, so she bypassed the topic and talked directly about what she had just seen and heard.

After she left the bookstore, she went to several other bookstores in Xinhe Town to inquire about the situation, and the results were the same as what Wei Congti said.

"...Sir, when Mr. Yan was here, we carefully calculated that the cost of a book was only eighteen yuan, but the bookstore sold it for eighty yuan! Isn't the price too high? This Wouldn’t it run counter to our original purpose?”

It is normal for businessmen to pursue profits and make money.

But if you sell a book of eighteen cents for thirty or forty cents, isn’t that enough?

Master Si didn’t expect it to be so expensive, so he was surprised: “Is it true?”

"I have checked, and all the bookstores in Xinhe Town sell books at this price if they can get books from the printing factory." Chu Yingying frowned tightly and asked another question, "And some The bookstore wants to publish books like travel notes~IndoMTL.com~The printing factory doesn’t care at all.”

Master Si stood up and said, "Come with me, and we'll go find Master Lu to find out."

"Sir, I am just an ordinary citizen. It is inconvenient to participate in this. It will also lead to questioning. It is better for you to go by yourself."

"...Okay."

Although Master Si is a little confused in family matters, he is really a good official.

Since arriving in Xinhe Town, he has managed the farmland and mulberry trees, doing everything by himself, and is very popular among the people.

It wasn't until dinner time that Mr. Si came back with an angry look on his face.

Mrs. Si stepped forward, took his coat, put it aside, and hurriedly handed him a cup of tea: "Drink some tea first to calm down the fire."

Master Si drank it all in one gulp, and then threw the tea cup **** the table. It was obvious that he was very angry.

Si Chen was startled and hid in Chu Yingying's arms.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Si felt a little distressed and couldn't help but scolded: "Suppress your anger and don't scare the child."

It was not that Mr. Si did not listen to the advice and sat down with a long sigh.

Said: "Lu Cheng said that the documents issued by the imperial court are based on local conditions, and it is normal for the cost prices of books and periodicals to fluctuate."

"Then the imperial court didn't give a range?" Chu Yingying asked.

Because the prices of raw materials and labor are different, the cost price will indeed be different, but the court should also give a range.

Master Si nodded: "Yes, it is clearly marked that it cannot exceed twenty-five cents! And Lu Cheng set the price at twenty-five cents, saying that this can still fill the treasury!"

The more he talked, the more angry he became. Mr. Si slapped his fist hard, "The imperial court is here to benefit the students all over the world. How could it think of making profits from it? It's a shame that he stepped on the line set by the imperial court. We can't say anything!"
