42 The popular prince was chased away
On the day of the June 6th Summer Festival, in the name of Gu Ci being impatient with the heat and going to escape the heat, Gu Yao escorted Xiao Lu and the whole family to the annex next to the Tiemei Temple. When they arrived at the other courtyard, Gu Yao and Gu Chong did not dismount, and directly led a team of people to the north.
No one will notice their movements, and the people of the entire capital will be paying attention to Danqing Pavilion.
The steward of Jiang was still immersed in finding suitable bamboo to make paper, Xie Qing handed over the matter of copying books to the shopkeeper Jiang, and opened a large main room in the pavilion, in the name of praying for the county lord, he took out ten books from the Xiao Xie family every day, and if he was willing to copy more than three, he could take away one of his own writings.
The so-called family book collection, in fact, is not only the book itself has historical value or literary value, but more importantly, the interpretation and annotation of many sages and predecessors, carrying the heritage and records of a thousand generations, how can readers not rush to it?
Hearing that the day was unprecedented, the students who rushed to the scene after hearing the news flocked to the store, leaving a lot of shoes, hats and scarves outside the store, and the clothes of the shopkeeper Jiang were almost stripped off.
Mingjin took the people from the Wurate Mansion to help maintain order, and Xie Qing rushed to preside, and asked the students to leave a word first, in order of good or bad handwriting, ten people a day. And promised not only to bring a copy on the spot, but with the post of Danqing Pavilion, these books will be engraved a month later, and you can choose one for free.
During this period, some people recognized Xie Qing as Xie Yi's companion Xie Bonian's youngest son, and Xie Bonian was the eldest of Xie Banian's relatives who escorted Xie Chi to flee for thousands of miles, which attracted many people to talk to him.
The first person to hand in the manuscript was a student surnamed Gu from Langya City, the ancestral home of the Xie family, who said that he had studied in the school built by the Xie family, and bowed respectfully to the three words "Danqing Pavilion" inscribed by Xie Yi before leaving. The hustle and bustle of the crowd around quieted down for a moment, and after that, every student and scholar dressed properly and followed suit.
Xie Qing and others witnessed this scene, and burned incense on the three pillars of "Danqing Pavilion Preface" in the house, and they all burst into tears.
***********************
Yuan Yi had already reported to the emperor that the Xie family had researched typesetting and printing technology based on the notes of his predecessors, and explained how Gu Ci came up with ideas to make Danqing Pavilion make money, and he also wanted to use the test papers and Jinshi articles for next year's spring to sell, all of which were explained cleanly. The emperor happily agreed, and turned around to the queen mother to sigh, the little girl's heart and eyes are estimated to grow in this area, and other bookstores will only have red eyes in the future.
The Queen Mother was so distressed that she said that she was a little girl, suffering from a small life, which would make her body uncomfortable, and she would help the master run a shop, could it be that some people couldn't see it? ! immediately wanted to go out of the palace to Wangshan to comfort Gu Ci and support her.
Yuan Yi and the emperor hurriedly persuaded him, and the emperor issued a special decree the next day, not only allowing the Danqing Pavilion to publish and print the palace school collection, but also the annual legal calendar was designated to be engraved by him.
As soon as this order came out, several other companies vaguely knew that Danqing Pavilion had a new printing technique, and they had been staring at the bookstore and the people behind it, so they could only dispel this idea and press it down for the time being.
***********************
When Gu resigned and returned home for the Qixi Festival, it had passed the most lively stage, the style of study in the capital was greatly revitalized, and the Xie family's status in the literary world was already lofty, but at the beginning of the new dynasty, no successor was silent, and the reputation was revived, and there was an endless stream of scholars who came to worship the "Danqing Pavilion Preface" every day.
These have nothing to do with her, since the Dragon Boat Banquet, not only have the guests who came that day invite their mother and daughter, but also some girls ask Gu Ci alone, or invite Gu Ci to go to another acquaintance's banquet together. Gu Yue, Gu Yi and others also got a lot of invitations, but Gu Ci would not go in and out with them, they all went their own way. Otherwise, everyone else will give her a big salute, and the sisters around her will have to give these people a big salute, which is too abusive.
Yuyi generously allowed them all, and only required that the honor guard was indispensable.
Gu Ci is happy to associate with any big sisters who may become her future second sister-in-law, and she no longer worries that she doesn't have full teeth. It's just that the small citizens feel that they are a little disturbing to the people, so every time they go out, they will ask the guards to bring some loose money copper plates, and if they encounter cleaning the streets or driving away street vendors and beggars, they will go to make up for others.
As soon as the number of times was too much, the well-informed Mingxiu handed over that the small traders had already appeared to follow the county lord's guard of honor, not to mention the roadside beggars formed a group to brush.
Gu Ci was very helpless, I really couldn't figure it out, with such time to follow, wouldn't he make more money than taking it for nothing? But it didn't stop there, it should be made up or made up, but from time to time it will take a detour.
So there is also a scene in the capital, where the gorgeous and majestic princess is often adorned with a hawker and beggar who does not sell or beg, but moves with the procession.
***********************
Seeing that it was the gold festival on 10 October, many generals who had entered Beijing from Beiguan could not return, and they were dismissed, transferred, or idle. Gu Yao's father and son showed no signs of returning, and Yuyi's mother and daughter began to put some winter clothes for them to send over.
Knowing that after Gu Yao arrived in Beiguan, Xie Qing sent someone to Beiguan to raise pearls and dig ginseng. Stimulated by the re-rise of Danqing Pavilion, the Grand Steward of Bright Pavilion Qi left the matter of purchasing goods from Anton to his younger brother, and he personally led the team to Beiguan, unlike Gu Yao and them who rode horses and marched quickly, but chose a large town with convenient terrain to go.
Gu Ci also asked Xiao Lu to say hello to the medical monks in the temple, and Xiao Xiao, the steward of Jiukangtang, also sent someone to follow all the way to collect herbs, and even try to get a point where there is a medical hall pharmacy where there are conditions, whether it is to train local military doctors and doctors, buy herbs or go north and south goods for transit.
I will hear that they have settled down, and many of the medical monks who were adopted by the temple and ordained have returned to the world and have begun to practice medicine in the local area.
Gu Ci prepared things for his father and brother with confidence and boldness, and complained about why Taizong wanted to make a gold festival as the name of the National Day, could it be that he came through the head of the moon?
It just so happened that the Su steward of Liuying Pavilion came to send a batch of small pieces of glass that were very pure, but they were all sizes as if they were broken.
Gu Ci strongly praised the fruits of the craftsmen's labor, put forward further requirements, and gave a small bonus to everyone in the workshop. Then he handed the glass block to Old Man Tian and asked him to find a way to grind the large piece into a convex or concave disc, and inlay it in a retractable copper cylinder with two ends that were not sealed. The small glass block is pasted with tin foil on one side and pasted in a triangular cylinder, one end is glued to the glass with tulle to form a frosted shape, and the other end is left with holes to be seen, and various colored paper rags are poured into it, which is a simple kaleidoscope.
She took the telescope to Xiao Lu first, and only after his approval did she pack five or six for Gu Yao, and then send one to Yuan Yi, so that he could decide whether to present it to the emperor or not, and wait for the emperor to speak, and then consider the matter of mass production.
Kaleidoscope, Gu Ci first took more than 20 fine materials, divided them one by one, and prepared to give them to his girlfriends, and the others that were generally done were given to the maids to play. The rest is similar to glass blocks, so that Su Guan can directly pull them to Gongqiao Pavilion to make a kaleidoscope, and then start to sell them out in the month of Layue.
was writing a post, Yuan Yi asked Mingxiu to ask her to go to Zhishuang Zhai early tomorrow morning, and deliberately emphasized that she could only go by herself and was not allowed to bring any outsiders.
Gu Ci curiously grabbed Mingxiu and asked what was wrong, Mingxiu couldn't help but smile and said, inspired by the county lord's follower team, the prince's brainless fan Cheng Wenmei paper gave full play to her father's advantages as Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and fully mobilized the beggars and hawkers in the city to keep an eye on the prince's whereabouts at all times, but whenever the prince went out of Donghua Gate, whether it was to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing or her own Zhuangzi, she would chase after her horse to create a chance encounter, which was annoying. Some people who like to watch the prince's bad luck even add fuel to the fire, trying to help Cheng Wen squeeze into the occasion attended by the prince. For example, when Chongyang ascended, the prince accompanied the queen mother to Tiemei Temple to offer incense, and the princess's maiden sister took Cheng Wen with her. Cheng Wen is also really good, although she can't get close to the prince, she has insisted on waiting at the door of the side hall where the queen mother is resting to ask for peace. The prince was able to get out from the back mountain and went around the courtyard of Gu Ci's house.
Gu Ci was very embarrassed, they had already returned to the city, and if they were still in the other courtyard, they might be able to witness the scene. However, when she and Yuyi went to greet the Queen Mother the next day of Chongyang, she didn't hear the Queen Mother talk about it, she just felt that the Queen Mother was in a very good mood.
Mingxiu said implicitly, "The prince doesn't want to interfere with Miss Cheng's marriage, and no one is allowed to mention this matter." Mrs. Fu Yin has already given her a good family affair, if there is no accident, she will get married before the moon. ”
"So fast! Which one? ”
Thinking of the 'mosquito sister' who is so proactive that she can make people run away, Gu Ci is funny.
"It's a Meng Juzi from Xiangyuan City, who lives next to Heming Academy, and is preparing for next year's spring. Although his parents died, he had good learning, and he was the first three who could enter Danqing Pavilion to copy books. Miss Cheng once passed by the house where he lived and dropped an embroidered handkerchief, which was picked up by Meng Langjun. It happened that Miss Cheng frightened the horse again, and he had to come to the rescue, so a good thing was accomplished. ”
Thanks to Taizong's sentence back then, 'useless is a scholar', almost all of the candidates in Dayu are both civil and military, even if the force value is not high, at least the body is very good, and it is no problem to ride a horse and shoot an arrow. Brother Meng, who can save people in the case of a startled horse, is quite good, and he is still renting a house in the Beijing School District, which shows that Bo has a family property, not to mention the death of his parents! It's just a good son-in-law who can't be found anywhere with a lantern! Mrs. Fu Yin's eyes are vicious! Give a thumbs up.
Gu Ci, who was boiling with blood, asked, "Have you already made a marriage?" ”
"The eight characters have been combined, and the day after tomorrow will be decided."
“…… Not dead yet? ”
"I heard that the prince has been in and out of Danqing Pavilion recently, so he went there early this morning to guard it. The prince is afraid that the honor guard of the county lord tomorrow will alarm her......"
"Then I won't take so many people with me."
"Never! The prince's meaning was just to let the county lord ignore Miss Cheng even if he saw him. ”
"Okay. I'll be there on time tomorrow. Gu Ci readily agreed, but then criticized, "Mingxiu, your intelligence work has not been good recently, and such important information has not been written on the cheat sheet!" ”
Mingxiu smiled and apologized, and presented the cheat sheet for this period of time. Why he didn't write it, it was obvious that the prince didn't want the county lord to know about such a mess.
