Putting aside the headache of Duanwang, Shen Yu is still very happy.

At this time, she had only been around for a long time, not to mention the color overlay, and Shen Yan's attempt was also the first to occur. Although she was limited by her technology, this time she could only use vermilion and blue to print the columns and annotations in addition to the black characters, which was very inferior to the exquisite binding of later generations, but it was rare to do so in this environment.

At least in the eyes of Qin Yu and Dong Shujin, Shen Yu's method can be regarded as a precedent.

The reason why the Shen family's carved books can be famous in Luling is that in addition to the good foundation of Shen Pingxuan's books and the high quality of the books collated, it is also because the Shen family's books are beautifully carved, the font is dignified, and the paper used is also very elegant.

Qin Yu and Uncle Dong watched it for a long time, and they couldn't put it down, although Xue Ning didn't say anything, but between looking at it, there was envy on their faces.

Uncle Dong has always loved to make trouble with Shen Fei, and after reading it, he hugged him in his arms, looking like a bully, "Auntie, this book belongs to me!" ”

"This book is hard to engrave, Master Shen hasn't even read it, you should snatch it first!" Qin Yu was dissatisfied.

"Auntie, you can't just print this one, right? Otherwise, it will be a waste of engraving. ”

After all, Dong Shujin was born in a salt merchant's family, and he was particularly sensitive to the profit and loss of business costs, and knew that this book cost a lot, and Shen Yu could not print only one copy and discard the engraving, so he hugged the book tightly.

Shen Yu was helpless, so she had to smile and said: "Uncle Jin's brain is really clear when he calculates things, I don't print too little of this book, and it's nothing to give you a copy." Brother Yizhi also has a copy here," and turned his head and asked Xue Ning in a low voice, "If Miss Xue likes it, how about I give one too?" ”

- Different from Xue Ning's title of "son" for men, Shen Yu has been taken around by Shen Ping since she was a child, and she has been in the academy for a long time, so it is naturally not good to call everyone her son, so like other students in the academy, those who are close to her are commensurate with their names. Because Qin Yu was two years older than her, the word "brother" was added.

As for Xue Ning, although he was very interested in this exquisite book, he was not so confused.

She and Shen Yan have always had a discordant temperament, and they sneered at each other, usually if it wasn't for more contact with Qin Yue, she wouldn't be happy to come to Shen Yan's house. Seeing Shen Yu in the limelight in front of Qin Yu at this moment, Xue Ning was even more reluctant to cheer, so she only turned her head and said, "No." ”

Shen Yuyuan didn't plan to give it to her, so it was just right.

When Qin Yu and the others said goodbye, Shen Yu arranged for someone to pack the set of books that the Dong family was scheduled to engrave, and sent someone to follow Uncle Dong to send it over.

Two sets of books have already been sent, and the remaining ones naturally can't be delayed for too long. That night, Shen Yu took the brocade box that had been prepared long ago and packed the books, and sent some of them to Shen Ping, who gave them to his friends.

Early the next morning, Shen Yu freshened up and prepared to go to Jiang's house.

Under the half sleeves of the soft white pear blossom collar brocade is a water-colored pleated skirt, and a delicate jade pendant is tied on the bean-green palace silk, she only picked a pearl hairpin, and picked a freshly blooming begonia pinned in her hair, smiling skillfully.

When Mrs. Shen came to the Linglong Mountain Pavilion, she was really happy to see her outfit.

The delicate baby daughter has a delicate figure, and she usually doesn't feel anything when she wears the crown dress of the academy students, and when she changes into her daughter's outfit, she is embellished with Naluo gauze and Zhu Hai, and her face is covered with a thin layer of fine powder, and her lips are beautiful, and the fourteen-year-old girl already has some coquettish taste.

Glancing at the empty earlobes, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "Where is the pomegranate, why did you forget to wear earrings for you?" And the jasper bracelet on your hand? ”

"It was my daughter who picked it deliberately because she thought it was cumbersome, mother, don't blame the pomegranate." Shen Yu was afraid that Mrs. Shen would blame the pomegranate, so she couldn't help but lean over and stick it on her chest to be coquettish.

Mrs. Shen hugged her in her arms and said warmly: "I usually wear the clothes of the academy to run around, it is rare to be so leisurely, how can I not dress up well?" Come here. ”

She took out a pair of pearl earrings from the dresser, and put a transparent jade bracelet on Shen Yan, "This is specially made by your aunt and asked a craftsman, but you are not allowed to live up to it." ”

"My daughter knows that my aunt treats me well. When my aunt's birthday came, I would give her a gift. ”

"It's good if you have this heart." Mrs. Shen took Shen Yan's hand and looked left and right for a while, the more she looked at it, the more she loved it, and she even faintly felt in her heart that if she married such a delicate and lovely heart, I am afraid she would die of distress.

It's better to recruit a son-in-law, and her daughter is always by her side, so you don't have to worry that she will be wronged when she goes to her in-law's house.

Thinking of this, a trace of mist suddenly appeared in Mrs. Shen's eyes.

When the child was young, he was spoiled by everyone in the family, he was afraid of melting in his mouth, he was afraid of falling in the palm of his hand, and he was the most squeamish, since her brother disappeared eight years ago, although she still loved her father, her squeamishness gradually decreased.

This kind of change makes Mrs. Shen very sad - it is better to find a lovely uncle as soon as possible, so that she can be hurt and spoiled by her, and raise that little squeamishness back.

Otherwise, it's really distressing.

Out of the Linglong Mountain Pavilion, a small carriage had been prepared outside, and the mother and daughter sat inside, followed by the two people who were waiting beside Mrs. Shen and Shi Nan, who often followed Shen Yu out.

It is not too far from the Shen family to the house of the political envoy Jiang Wenying, and when she passed the alley close to the Lingering Garden, Shen Yu lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and sure enough, she saw a big sedan chair parked there, I am afraid that she wanted to visit King Duan.

The entrance of the Lingering Garden has been deserted and barren for many years, but now it is lively again, and even the roses are particularly dazzling.

Who knew that the mother and daughter were halfway through, the carriage suddenly stopped, Shen Fei was surprised to lift the curtain, and saw her father Shen Ping in front, and said, "Ah Fei, His Royal Highness King Duan has summoned you to the academy, come with me." ”

"Oh." Shen Yu was still sighing, and answered casually, and when she got off the car and rode on horseback, she suddenly had a spirit-

My father just said...... His Royal Highness King Duan summoned her?

Shen Yan was very bottomless in her heart.

She and Duanwang are not familiar with each other, even if they met during a nap in the academy that day, she never blew up her home, and His Royal Highness Duanwang may not know who she is, but now Duanwang called her by name? Shen Yu tilted her head and asked Shen Ping, "Dad, do you know why King Duan summoned me?" ”

"King Duan came to Jingzhao Pavilion just now, and when I went, he was talking to your uncle, and he only told me to call you, but he didn't say why." Shen Ping comforted: "I see that he is in a good mood, it shouldn't be a bad thing." ”

"Did Uncle say anything?" Shen Yu did not give up.

"In front of King Duan, your uncle doesn't dare to talk at will. But I asked people outside, and they talked about our bookstore. ”

"The Shen family's bookstore is famous, and it is not surprising to mention this when soliciting books." Shen Yu thought about it carefully, it was not strange that His Royal Highness King Duan would pay attention to the Shen family, but he specially summoned her over...... It's really incomprehensible.

Fortunately, Shen Yan had a wide heart, and since she couldn't figure it out, she simply didn't want to, so she rode to the academy and followed Shen Ping into Jingzhao Pavilion.

Jiang Wenying in the cabinet was sitting with King Duan, and there was Xue Wanrong, a scholar and politician, next to him.

The father and daughter entered the house to salute, and when King Duan said "no courtesy", although Jiang Wenying did not speak, he motioned to the father and daughter to sit at the bottom of the head, and asked someone to serve tea.

Duanwang Xu Yan's gaze fell on Shen Yan, stayed for a moment, and asked abruptly, "Miss Shen didn't wear the academy crown dress today?" ”

Shen Ping's protector was anxious, although she knew that King Duan should have no malicious intent, she still had to stand up, got up and arched her hand: "Back to Your Highness, the little girl has something to go out today, and she was summoned on an emergency just now, and she will have time to change into the academy crown dress in the future, if she surprises His Highness, I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Mr. Shen is polite." Xu Yan stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit back, and then said to Shen Yan: "The overprint book is the idea you came up with?" ”

It turned out to be an overprint book! Shen Yan's slightly hanging heart relaxed, got up and said, "Your Royal Highness, it is the people's daughter." ”

"The printing is very delicate, and some people in the court have tried it before, but the printing effect is not good. Miss Shen has a trick? ”

"Your Highness has a good reputation." Shen Yan smiled slightly, and didn't plan to tell him about the exclusive secret technique, but saved a little to arouse his curiosity, and only smiled modestly: "There is no magic trick, but the Shen family has always been excellent in carving books, and the selection of paper, ink, and engraving are all very careful, but if these are done well, they can be made according to the ordinary printing technique." ”

This is easy to say, but it can't be done overnight.

Xu Yan couldn't help but smile, and said, "Miss Shen has such talent, and it is not in vain that Mr. Shen has cultivated it painstakingly. ”

He is used to fighting on the battlefield, and he has a kind of cold and hard temperament, so people are unconsciously in awe and dare not be contemptuous. This smile gave insight into Shen Yan's thoughts, her expression was relaxed and frank, with a somewhat intimate tone, just like the gentleness that appeared when a tiger sniffed the rose, coupled with the handsome eyebrows, Shen Yan's gaze couldn't help but stick for a moment, and then hurriedly retracted.

"Your Highness has praised it." Father and daughter sang in unison.

Xu Yan said: "If Mr. Shen doesn't mind, can you take this king to the bookstore on a certain day?" The king was curious. ”

"If Your Highness can come, it will be full of brilliance." Shen Ping raised his head with a smile, and his attitude was polite, "The Lingering Garden is not far from the bookstore, if Your Highness is free, send someone to say it at any time, and the Shen family should wait for you." He said it respectfully and politely, and the difference in identity was crossed, and he felt alienated.

Xu Yan also pressed the conversation, nodded, and still talked to Jiang Wenying.

The rest of Shen Yu was standing there, a little confused.

Tete ordered Shen Ping to call her over, just to ask such a sentence or two? His Royal Highness King Duan, this is too tormenting!

When she looked down, she saw that the little white fox came running at some point, lying at her feet, pulling the corners of her skirt and playing. Shen Yan's heart was soft, and she didn't dare to blatantly tease it, so she only moved her feet lightly to tease the little fox.

Suddenly, she heard Shen Ping next to her cough, she hurriedly raised her head with a respectful attitude, and with a sweep of her eyes, she saw that Duan Wang was staring at her...... The fox at your feet.

Shen Yan felt weak for a while, and didn't dare to desert anymore, so she listened respectfully to their discussions.

However, what the first few said was not gossip, and Shen Yan was a little excited after listening to a few words.
