Di'er came back from the paper workshop in the suburbs, saw Zu'er sullenly taking a stack of paper to the small bamboo forest, and asked, only then did she know that the first batch of new paper made by her uncle had come out.

She reported the matter to the county lord, and complained a little: "The county lord, the paper workshop has invested a few thousand taels of silver, not a small amount of money." The paper made, my uncle actually piled them up in the thatched house. ”

Li Yu was a little surprised, papermaking was so fast, "What is the quality of the paper made by my uncle?" ”

"I brought you one, this is the first batch of new paper, my uncle called it faint paper."

Di'er said immediately.

Li Yu took it, his beautiful eyes lit up, and he looked at the faint paper.

Good paper!

The texture is fine and uniform, the quality is high, and the fiber is much finer than hemp paper.

She couldn't help but marvel.

The jade hand stroked it, the silky luster was pink, and it smelled faintly fragrant.

It's the new paper made by the husband, which is much better than the hemp paper of ten copper coins... It was even better than she expected.

Alas, how can the husband's fetish be different?

Li Yu thought for a moment, and his phoenix eyebrows frowned slightly.

If she tries to persuade her, I'm afraid that she will annoy her husband again and make him unhappy. Spending a few thousand taels of silver to get him to do his business would be in vain.

"This paper is excellent, but it's a bit inappropriate to use it in a thatched house.

But the little dusk marquis is such a nature, and he loves to use extravagant things. If he has to do this, let him go.

Anyway, the paper is placed in the thatched house, and others dare not use it. He used it himself, and he didn't need much copper money in a day, and it was only one or two taels of silver in a month, which was nothing.

Why blush because of such a trivial matter. ”

Li Yu didn't want to care.

In her opinion, it is a trivial matter of a few taels of silver after all.

When there is more paper produced in the future, it is the right thing to take some paper and sell it, and try to lose as little money as possible.

...

Pingwangfu.

In a remote corner of the bamboo forest, the three servants of the palace honestly guarded outside the thatched house, their faces full of redness, embarrassment and helplessness.

They were arrested by Zu'er and brought here, and they didn't do anything else, they specially guarded the faint paper in the thatched house.

"Don't steal!"

This is the rule set by my uncle.

My uncle is the master, and they must listen to the master's words.

But they guarded for a long time, and no one dared to go up to the thatched house in the small bamboo forest, and no one dared to learn from Xiao Duhou to wipe the filth with paper.

Uncle dares to use it, but other people use hemp paper to try it? Dare to learn from your uncle's delicateness, and you are not afraid of being beaten to death by the general manager of Qian? !

No one dares to steal it.

Under the rule of the Ping Palace, it was strictly forbidden to ensure that the guards were almost all the prince's personal soldiers, and the servants were slaves for generations, and there were no short-term or temporary workers.

There really isn't a servant who will steal paper, once he finds out that he is blamed and doesn't say anything, he will lose the iron rice bowl in the palace.

The three servants stood guard outside the hut, doing nothing, and secretly complaining.

"You say, what does my uncle think? He took a few thousand taels of silver from the county lord to make paper, and made the best precious and good paper, but it was all piled up in thatched houses? ~！ ”

"Hemp paper costs ten copper coins, how many times is this new paper better, and he is willing to use it to wipe dirt?"

"Alas, the faint marquis doesn't know how expensive paper is! How can he understand that we subordinates offer paper like treasures, and even writing feels too luxurious... He turned out to be.... ”

"In the past, I only heard the scholars of Jinling City say that Xiao Duhou is more gentlemanly than other gate valve families, and he is the first of the four great gentlemen in Jinling. When I first met my uncle a few days ago, I always felt that this was an exaggeration.

This time I have seen it, Jinling's first gentleman is still light, and the world's first gentleman is worthy of its name! ”

"I've also heard that Xiao Duhou once squandered a thousand taels of silver a day, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were lost in less than a year. Where does he care, paper gold is not expensive! ”

They whispered bitterly with bitter faces.

The small bamboo forest in this remote corner has also become lively.

This matter has spread rapidly in the Pingwang Mansion, and many guards and servants are talking about it in surprise in private, and they don't even believe it.

In order to verify, many people came to the small bamboo forest to look, and found that there were indeed three servants guarding the thatched house, so they believed that there was really such a thing.

When the chief manager of the palace heard about this outrageous thing, he was heartbroken that the paper was wasted, and he specially came to the small bamboo forest to take a turn to see if it was true.

Unexpectedly, there were really three servants guarding the outside of the hut, and there was a very beautiful stack of paper inside, which had never been seen before.

"What are you guys doing guarding this hut!"

Mr. Qian had a straight face.

"The chief manager, Miss Zu'er said that it was ordered by my uncle to order me and the other three to guard the faint paper in this thatched house... Don't steal it! ”

A servant hurriedly said.

Manager Qian thought about it for a long time, but he didn't hold back anything.

The money was given by the county lord.

The paper was made by my uncle.

He, the second lady's cronies, really can't control how the master of Xiao Duhou uses paper.

Manager Qian walked around a few times in annoyance outside the thatched house, and he had no choice but to go back to the second lady to report the matter.

...

The next day, Jia Sheng came to the private school of the palace, but he heard that the servants in the palace were all mysterious and excited, and they were secretly discussing and discussing

said that my uncle's paper mill made a new kind of paper called "Duhou Paper".

The quality is exceptionally excellent, far better than the previous hemp paper many times.

It's a pity that such a good thing was thrown into the thatched house by my uncle.

Jia Sheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.

Isn't this the destruction of Baoyu Zhu?

The private school of the royal palace has always lacked paper for writing, and these papers are not good for him.

He hurriedly came to Yu Garden, and excitedly asked to see the little marquis, and he was much more respectful than before, "Little marquis! I heard that the workshop of the little marquis made a batch of new paper, which is of high quality, far better than hemp paper?! ”

"Well, yes!"

Chu Tianxiu was indifferent.

"Since it's home-made. I also hope that the little marquis can supply a batch of books for the private school of the palace and the children of the Li family to copy books, so as to replace the cumbersome and inconvenient bamboo slips.

The children of the Li family have always suffered from the fact that there are not many books in the house, and the literary atmosphere is not prosperous. If you have enough books, you can prosper the royal palace, and it will be very beneficial to your uncle... The prince will definitely praise the talent of the little marquis! ”

Jia Sheng hurriedly said something nice.

"Don't pat Ben Hou on the back, how many copper coins is worth the commendation?!"

Chu Tianxiu didn't even think about it, and refused, "Ben Hou's batch of papers has just come out, and the thatched houses are not enough." If you want paper, you can buy it, but you can buy it.

Mr. Jia, you go to the second lady and ask her to allocate a sum of money to buy faint paper for the private school of the palace. Tell her that twenty wen a piece, not a penny less, I will sell her as much as she wants! ”

Private schools require paper, which is the official business of the royal government. Of course, you have to pay for the official account of the royal palace, and let him advance money to provide paper to the private school, ha, don't dream.

Jia Sheng was stunned.

I didn't expect Xiao Duhou to refuse so categorically.

Saying that the thatched house is not enough, this is clearly an excuse, and I don't want to give it.

Twenty yuan a piece is worth a day's meal for an ordinary family. The rich people dislike it too expensive to copy books, who is willing to throw them all in the toilet?

The Marquis would rather put the paper in the thatched house than give it to the private school of the palace. This is obviously angry with him Jia Sheng, angry with the second lady, who doesn't want to give it to private schools for free, and wants the palace to pay a lot of money to buy it.

But the second lady is so stingy, she is willing to pay a lot of money to buy paper for the private school, it's strange!

Jia Sheng couldn't get the paper, so he said goodbye angrily, and walked around the palace indignantly.

He hadn't seen new paper yet.

Is this paper so good, it actually opens its mouth for twenty copper coins?!

Just go and see for yourself.

Jia Sheng came to the thatched house in the small bamboo forest of the palace.

"Oops, I ate the wrong thing, I have a cramping pain in my abdomen, hurry up to the thatched house."

He hugged his stomach and shouted in his mouth, and when the three servants were stunned and had no time to stop him, he became the first person in the Pingwang Mansion to rush into the small bamboo forest thatched house.

Jia Sheng took a look.

There was a small stack of freshly made paper in the hut.

I took it and rubbed it.

He often used hemp paper, and of course it was clear at a glance that the quality of this new paper was surprisingly good, far better than hemp paper many times higher.

The hemp paper is too coarse.

And this new paper, the fiber is very delicate, the texture is dense, it will not seep water like hemp paper, and the ink writing on it must be very comfortable.

It is evident that the process has improved dramatically, and it is finally suitable for writing with pen and ink and copying books.

At a glance.

White as powder snow.

Silky and flexible.

It's never been a good paper!

Jia Sheng squatted in the thatched house, holding a faint piece of paper with a faint plum fragrance in both hands.

This is the fragrance of plum, this is the fragrance of paper, this is the fragrance of Wenyun Dasheng!

He squatted and wept at the same time!

What a piece of paper!

These papers allow students to transcribe books, which can reduce the heavy burden of dozens or hundreds of pounds on their backs!

With just this small roll of 100 pieces of new paper, no more than a pound, you can transcribe a full 100 rolls of bamboo slips weighing hundreds of pounds.

From then on, the children of the Li family in the Wangfu private school could easily take a paper book, and they no longer had to carry dozens of pounds of bamboo slips to school every day.

How can such a treasure of the study be used to fill the thatched house?

Little Dusk Hou!

Violent destruction of heavenly things, you are going to be punished by heaven, the sky thunders!

No wonder when Emperor Taizu established the dynasty, he gave them the title of "faint marquis" of the Chu family, which is not false at all, and his eyes are like torches!

Jia Sheng became more and more angry, and scolded without scruples in his heart.

Looking left and right, there was no one in the thatched house.

Under his strong indignation, he suddenly had "evil thoughts" in his heart, and secretly hid two pieces of paper in his arms, wanting to take them home to write a beautiful essay and taste the freshness.

Anyway, these papers are used in thatched houses, and there are a few pieces of paper missing, which is not very normal! Who is going to count them carefully?

After Jia Sheng went to the toilet, he then pulled a clean toilet chip on the wall and poked his buttocks.

"Hiss~!"

It hurts!

Hemorrhoids are committed again.

Jia Sheng was grinning.

Suddenly I saw the stack of papers next to it, and I couldn't help but be stunned... An even more terrifying and shameful thought could not be suppressed from being born in his mind.

Silly, I'm so stupid!

It's true!

The thatched house in this small bamboo forest obviously has a lot of new paper, all of which are from Xiao Duhou.

Why save paper for the little dusk?

Didn't Xiao Duhou say that these papers were used to go to the thatched house?

Then I, Jia Sheng, will use it to go to the thatched house to meet your requirements!

A new piece of paper is twenty copper coins, hum, I'll use one... No, two! Let your little faint be distressed to death!

Refreshing!

It's so comfortable!

Wipe it with paper, and sure enough, it doesn't hurt at all, and it's very comfortable. No wonder the imperial court issued an order to ban the wiping of old paper... Someone must have tried it a long time ago, and they are afraid that people will become addicted.

I, Jia Sheng, have never been so happy in my life.

Xiao Duhou really knows how to enjoy, no wonder he insists on putting the paper in the thatched house, and he is really the little Hou who will enjoy the most in the world.

Yes!

Sin, sin!

Twenty yuan a piece of paper, just like this, two sheets were squandered with a light wipe, and three or four days' food money was spent.

Confucius forgave his sins, and those who were close to ink were black, and Jia was actually polluted by the extravagance of the little dusk marquis.

When you return home, you must immediately write the sages on a piece of paper to atone for this sin.

Mr. Jia was using the paper, and he had a headache and was happy.

When he goes back, he has to talk to the students of the Li family, the neighbors of Changle Street, and the Confucian students in Jinling City to severely criticize Xiao Duhou's corrupt style, and he must stop the spread of this unhealthy trend.

He lifted his pants and walked out of the hut, he had already lost his previous indignation, and his heart was full of joy and pride after the fierce revenge, and he was extremely comfortable.

Jia Sheng hummed a country song and swaggered away with his hands behind his back.

The three servants outside the thatched hut widened their eyes and hurried to investigate whether there was any missing paper, and found that there were four missing, but there were only two discarded papers on the ground.

Two cards missing!

It must have been stolen by Jia Sheng!

The three servants couldn't help but look at each other.

Is it considered stealing paper by literati?

They want to chase it, but they hesitate to chase it.

Jia Sheng is not a servant, he is a private school gentleman in the Pingwang Mansion, and he is a guest and is extremely respected by the prince.

In front of Jia Sheng, Mr. Qian was also polite and never slack. Even if you tell the second lady, you won't ask Mr. Jia for these two pieces of paper.

Go ahead and ask for a ticket!
