Huang Xiaoxian heard what the old man said, and quickly explained: "No, no. There's something wrong with this paper, and I've got a little knowledge about it, you see......"

Huang Xiaoxian didn't care if he let him get up, she stood up and ran to the place where the paper was drying, she picked out the best rice paper, handed it to the master and said, "This is the result of our countless experiments, sir, look?"

Huang Xiaoxian was nervous, and she had long forgotten to call her father.

The old man didn't care about it at all, Huang Xiaoxian thought, if he didn't read it carefully, then he would really be finished, she quickly took a piece of paper on which she had written and said, "Look, sir, the words written on this paper are different, and the paper at home is too rough." ”

The old man really looked at it seriously this time, he touched the paper with his hand in disbelief, and found that the feel was indeed different, better than the special paper they used in the court.

He glanced at the maids who had long since stopped in disbelief and said, "They made it?"

Huang Xiaoxian hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, it's them, but my formula." ”

The old man glared at her fiercely and said, "Do the process you did again, I'll see if it's true." ”

Huang Xiaoxian immediately understood, the master recognized it.

So, she pulled her throat again and began to command.

The old man looked at her, where is there still the proper behavior of a girl, with a rough and loud voice, but with the demeanor of Mama Xu. But at this time, he also had no way at all.

Huang Xiaoxian directly asked people to put the paper from the pulp one by one in a place where the old man could see it, and the paper magically appeared in front of his eyes.

When the old man saw it for a while, the paper became a thick stack, and it felt very good.

The old man looked at her suspiciously, as if he didn't know her person, although it was a little unreliable, but it could be regarded as fanciful.

He carefully asked Huang Xiaoxian about the process of all the processes, and then said solemnly: "You stop work immediately, you are not allowed to do this again." ”

Huang Xiaoxian thought that he was happy and that he had something to do, so she said with a bitter face, "Why?"

The old man glared and said, "This is a home, not a workshop, besides, how many years have these trees been in the Bai family......?" Then ask the family law to serve, and you can listen to what you should do. ”

Although it was very strict, the tone was relaxed, and several subordinates were also relieved, and two little girls looked at Huang Xiaoxian resentfully.

Since they started doing this work, basically several maids have been so tired that they can't straighten their waists, and it is indeed not light work.

Huang Xiaoxian gathered everyone together, and when he was about to go back, his wife was late.

When she saw the old man's happy face, she asked a little puzzled: "Master, what's the matter?" ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "She is really not a woman in the boudoir...... and walked back with his wife on her shoulder.

Huang Xiaoxian was fine again, so she had to listen to the lecture obediently, and if she couldn't listen, she would sleep.

The old gentleman was still bitter about Huang Xiaoxian at the beginning, but he was able to answer Huang Xiaoxian well several times, and the old gentleman found that Huang Xiaoxian was a particularly strange person.

If you ask her to write a few words or read a few passages that she is not familiar with, she is worse than an enlightened child, but if you teach an article like the Analects and you haven't taught it, she will memorize it and explain it properly.

After a long time, the old gentleman didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, he taught him, she could do whatever she wanted, anyway, Jiu Gongzi would definitely not be able to learn.

It took Huang Xiaoxian a month to finally get to know those difficult words, but if she wanted her to write, she didn't have the ability.

Mr.'s tolerance for Huang Xiaoxian also comes from the new paper she brought him.

The paper she gave to her husband made him love it and even reluctant to use it.

Huang Xiaoxian said to him: "Sir, you can use it casually, and if you don't have it, I will make it for you." ”

There is still a lot of pulp left in the backyard, and when it's okay, Huang Xiaoxian does it with a few girls who are close, but now there is basically nothing left.

After a long time, Huang Xiaoxian heard that these papers made the master out of the limelight, and he also took a few to try in front of the emperor.

On this day, the old man handed over the fold, and he said inconsequential trivial things, mainly to arouse the emperor's curiosity about paper.

For two days, there was no movement at all, and the master knew that the so-called excerpts that I read every day might be seen in a few days.

On the third day, there was movement.

The emperor finally found that his paper was better than the tribute, so he asked him where it came from, and the second master hurriedly said that he was thinking about it when he was fine, and he really let him figure it out.

The emperor didn't believe it at first, and the second master said: "If you don't believe it, you can get some more tomorrow, and there are traces of their family on these papers."

It turned out that the old man was holding these papers, and the mark of the Bai family was stamped.

"As a minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, how can you have the heart to ponder these things?

"Your Majesty, I just feel that the paper we pay tribute from Sun Guo is expensive, and we are often deducted by them, and the ministers often talk about the words written behind their backs that always fail to conform to their own wishes, so I have such an idea. ”

"You figured it out by yourself?" the emperor stood up from the dragon chair and circled around him.

The old man's heart was empty, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "Of course it's not me, it's the family thinking together, didn't the emperor say that some people's twists and turns are too vague a few days ago, I think about it, and I don't blame the ministers for everything, our paper really needs to be improved." ”

"Bai Aiqing is really thinking about me, in this way, we need such a paper, if you can really guarantee the court, how much you will collect, and then send it to the ministers. ”

"That ......"

The emperor immediately understood and said, "I'll ask the inner government to give you a budget later." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm a minister, and I didn't think about making money, but the cost of this thing is too high. ”

"Don't worry, isn't it better than coming in from the outside? Sun Guo's gang of grandsons pressure us every day, this time it's good. ”

"Let's show the paper to Sun Guo's grandsons this time, maybe they will come in from us, and then we will decide the price." ”

The emperor nodded again and again, and kept praising him.

The emperor's dragon heart was happy, and the white master was full of joy, and he came back humming a little song all the way.

When he got home, he didn't look for Huang Xiaoxian, but found everyone who worked for Huang Xiaoxian, and after understanding all the processes, he specially deployed some people to open a paper factory somewhere in Baifu.

Huang Xiaoxian didn't expect that her creativity would have such a high return, and what made the old man happy was not only money, but dignity in the court.

What the second master didn't expect was that the price of the paper handed over to the court from himself was reasonable, but when it was distributed to the ministers, the price was increased a lot, and some courtiers complained bitterly.

They tried their best to get close to the old man, hoping to get some cheap paper, but the emperor said that if he dared to leak the paper privately, he would be held accountable.
