Chapter 510: Maxima and Bole
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Concubine Yu didn't think at all that if she was fighting her heart, Princess Yongping would not be able to defeat the Hong family. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really can't win, Princess Yongping still has her behind her, and the emperor, if such a background can't beat the lack of a Hong family behind her daughter's father, then Princess Yongping simply don't worry so much, and Mrs. Pingping will marry her.
She also knew that even if Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping couldn't get along since she was a child, Zhu Ying had always been the one who won by brute force and never disdained intrigues. Therefore, Zhu Ying didn't realize what a big opportunity it was for Princess Yongping, who was unwilling to be an ordinary housewife.
Concubine Yu actually agreed to this on behalf of Princess Yongping, Zhang Shou didn't feel strange, and even smiled and echoed two sentences at the moment. After a while, he saw Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping come in one after another, Zhu Ying was smug with a smug smile, and Princess Yongping still had such a tranquil expression, but there was a certain extreme joy in her eyes.
"Thanks to my affection and reason, Yongping reluctantly agreed!" Zhu Ying tilted her head slightly, looking like she was very credited, she didn't see the other person step forward to sit down next to Concubine Yu, and then smiled, "Concubine Yu, when Yongping becomes the female school chief, you can also help her!" That Hong lady is quite capable, Yongping has no face to be compared to her......"
Princess Yongping saw that Zhang Shou smiled at Zhu Ying's words, and she immediately knew that people must have seen her desire to refuse and welcome. However, since Zhang Shou didn't break it, of course she was happy to let Zhu Ying show her merits, even if Zhu Ying was there to say how the Hong family was capable, she didn't take it too seriously.
Not to mention that she has poetry and books in her belly, even if she, a dignified princess, is illiterate, and she can't control a folk girl?
When Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying said goodbye from Yonghe Palace, they were not empty-handed, Concubine Yu gave Zhu Ying a pair of pearl hairpins - Zhu Ying often enters the palace, and her relationship with her is like that of mother and daughter, so naturally there is no reward. Even Zhang Shou also received two books from Concubine Yu, but they were not ancient books, but the ...... "Ge's Arithmetic New Lecture Notes" printed by the Celebrant Supervision Factory!
To tell the truth, when he took the two thick books before, Zhang Shou was a little confused, and Concubine Yu, who personally sent him and Zhu Ying out, said with a smile: "This is the note that Lu Sanlang made when you gave a lecture to those students in Jiuzhangtang in the past. β
"If it weren't for the fact that the scriptures you taught to those students in Banshan Hall in the past were too superficial, the emperor originally planned to ask the master of ceremonies to print two handouts of Ji Jiulang, so that those children in the folk could read it. Thinking about it later, people who can afford it are either not interested or disdain this kind of superficiality, but the children who really should learn these things can't afford it at home. β
They printed handouts without my permission...... What about the manuscript fee? What about royalties? This is blatant piracy, okay!
Zhang Shou had an extremely strong urge to complain in his heart. Although the environment for publishing books in this year is better than that of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the bookstore will state the copyright on the title page before printing the book, and even there are things like piracy, but in general, unless it is really a sought-after celebrity, ordinary people not only have no manuscript fee when they publish a book, but they have to paste the money for printing the book upside down, and they don't care about any piracy or not.
Because most people print it out and give it to relatives and friends, if the bookstore really prints hundreds of more copies of the book you want to print 100 copies, or even sells it in the end, then the person who publishes the book will feel ecstatic to meet the appreciative Bole. Of course, even if the bookstore makes money from the sale of those overprinted books, it will not share your consistent ......
The problem is that Zhang Shou cares, because there is a student like Lu Sanlang who runs one of the few big bookstores in the capital, he doesn't worry about his books being printed, or he can't sell them and lose money, not to mention that he has marketing methods, Lu Sanlang's mind is even better. As a result, in a blink of an eye, the emperor became Bole and asked the celebrant to rush to the front to print his handouts.
Then Concubine Yu gave it to him as a gift...... As long as Zhang Shou thought about it, he felt that he was at a loss.
Before, Mrs. Tai specially instructed that in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Zhu Ying called Zhang Shou to enter the palace in a pannier chair, but when she left the palace, since she had even been to Concubine Yu's Yonghe Palace, and was even watched by a group of palace people, she completely left that concern behind, and when she left the East Sixth Palace, she casually called a purely passing chamberlain and asked him to order someone to prepare two horses.
Zhang Shou was a little dizzy, and of course he didn't want to ride a horse, although he saw that the poor chamberlain was stunned at first, and then had to agree with a bitter face, so he didn't see it. When he got out of the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the palace, he couldn't help but be amazed when he saw that in addition to Zhu Hong's guards from the Zhao State Mansion, there were two horses that looked like divine horses waiting there.
But before he could tease Zhu Ying's face in the palace, he saw Zhu Ying suddenly speed up her pace and rush to the two horses like a gust of wind. After going around and around, the eldest lady showed an ecstatic expression: "It's actually Feibai and Xiaohong!" Last time, I asked the emperor for it, but he never let go of me, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so generous this time! β
Behind the two horses stood a rich round face with small eyes, at first glance he looked like a middle-aged man from a rich family, but in this acre and three points of land in the imperial city outside the north of the palace, the largest yamen was the Six Palace Bureau and the bureaus under the jurisdiction of the celebrant supervisor, so unless he had never entered the palace, he would never recognize his identity.
Of course, Zhang Shou also knew the other party, because he thought that when he first went to the outer office of the celebrant to look for someone, he had met this person. This middle-aged man who seems to be a rich man is Lu Chan, the master of ceremonies, and he only learned later that Lu Chan, who is always smiling, is called a smiling tiger, which is quite difficult. However, he clearly remembered that he had gone to Cangzhou before, but he didn't know when he came back quietly.
When he walked in front of Lu Chan, the celebrant and supervisor were already smiling and his eyes narrowed: "Dr. Zhang, the emperor said that you left the group of students who had just been admitted in, and entered the palace with the eldest lady for two days in a row to help, and there is merit and hard work, and these two thousands of horses carefully selected and presented by the chief priest of Shaanxi Le Yuan will be rewarded to you and the eldest lady." β
When Lu Chan said this, he saw that Zhu Ying was already rubbing two horses there, looking like he couldn't put it down, so he said meaningfully: "This time, the total number of tribute horses sent by Changle Yuan is eight, and the emperor just rewarded Zhao Guogong and Chu Guogong with two horses a few days ago, and kept two for himself, and the remaining two have been left in the stable, and today there is finally a master." β
Zhang Shou couldn't help but move in his heart. In this way, there are two horses each for the emperor and the Duke of Chu, and two for the Duke of Zhao and Zhang Yuan - there is no problem in this way, after all, Zhu Ying is going to marry him, and Zhu Ying's horse is also his horse. And thinking about this very simple arithmetic problem, he suddenly laughed.
"If it weren't for the fact that I knew that Gonggong Lu was still in Cangzhou before, I would have thought that you were the one who was in charge of these tributes, so you knew so well."
Lu Chan's face suddenly froze. At this moment, could he say that he was indeed the one who was in charge of the tributes of all parties in the celebrant eunuch, so he was so familiar with the situation of these eight imperial horses, and even the time when the emperor rewarded the four horses of Zhao Guogong and Chu Guogong was still imprinted in his mind? Unable to figure it out, he couldn't help but cough and awkwardly avoided the question.
And Zhu Ying was finally happy enough at this time, and floated back with light steps, glanced at Lu Chan, and she said indifferently: "Ah Shou, I have already seen it just now, that Feibai horse has a docile personality, so I will give it to you." That little red horse is obviously a bad temper, I'll tame it for a while before I send it to you. These two horses will be given to you and Ah Liu to ride when they turn around. β
The things given by the emperor, it is too late for others to hold them for offering, and they will directly give the ownership to others in this nonchalant tone, Zhang Shou is very sure that there is probably only Miss Zhu in front of him. He was about to refuse, but Zhu Ying took the lead.
"Don't be polite to me, I have a lot of all kinds of horses at home, I asked the emperor before, and I want to give it to you! I know that Ah Liu's skills, taming horses must be no problem, but he is anxious, and he follows you all day long, he may not have this time, I have nothing to do, just sharpen my temperament with Xiaohong! β
This time, Lu Chan finally seized the opportunity, because he said with a smile: "Dr. Zhang and the eldest lady will soon be a family, the emperor rewarded these two horses, and he didn't say how to use them, Dr. Zhang, please don't live up to the kindness of the eldest lady." β
Zhu Ying glanced at Lu Chan with satisfaction, and then saw Zhang Shou smiling at her helplessly, without saying yes or no, but asked as if curious: "Are the names of these two horses Feibai and Xiaohong?" β
Thinking of these two names, Lu Chan suddenly had a headache, who thought that Zhu Ying would say generously: "That's right, it is the name I changed in front of the emperor, this Feibai has a pure white coat, and its four hooves are like flying when I am happy, so I call it Feibai." As for Xiaohong, it has a bad temper and makes a sound that seems to be always booming, booming, and it is the youngest, so I casually call her Xiaohong. β
"It's just a name for the horse, it's easy to understand, I hate it the most like the crepe of the scriptures and the awkward name, I forgot what their names were. Why, Ah Shou, do you think my name is not good? β
Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He shouldn't have thought about whether the eldest lady happened to be interested in the celebrity Fa Ti of Fei Bai Ti, so he gave it such a name - although Zhu Ying's handwriting is indeed better than his, but that is only relative, it is difficult for him to imagine that this eldest lady who jumped out of the way would go to make a special brush in order to write Fei Bai Ti, and then go to learn the Fei Bai Ti, which is no longer a trend.
So, after he shook his head, he saw Zhu Ying glaring at him with some anger, so he said with a smile: "I just thought that the girls around you are all called Zhan Jin and Liuyin, but when they named the horses, they were so simple. β
"Isn't gold and silver rich? Besides, when they were with me, I was young, so I named them Xiaojin and Xiaoyin, as for Zhanjin and Liuyin, they were changed by my mother, and they liked it very much, so I called it that. Zhu Ying said confidently, "Anyway, I have been very vulgar since I was a child, and I can't be elegant!" β
Zhu Ying, who can calmly admit that she is vulgar, Zhang Shou has long been used to it. If his fiancΓ©e is a woman who is as elegant as a chrysanthemum on the surface, but chases fame and fortune in private, he will have a headache.
is like the Hong family with lofty ambitions, like Princess Yongping who is unwilling to be lonely...... He can only say that he admires them and wishes them that their wishes will be fulfilled, and the rest will ...... Hehe, he's not ambitious enough to associate with them!
"I'm just curious to ask, Feibai and Xiaohong, that's a pretty good name. It's up to you, Feibai belongs to me, Xiaohong returns to Ah Liu, and I said to Ah Liu when I turned around, he owes you a big favor, let him think about how to pay it back! β
Zhang Shou shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Fortunately, Yingying gave you a name, you are always much stronger than Ah Liu." He is not a family member of the sixth, and he has nothing to do with the sixth, but he said that when he changed his name in the first place, it was because he saw six wild horses passing by...... When he sees six wild horses, he is called Ah Liu, if there are countless horses, does he want to call Duoduo? β
"I think it's scary to ask him to name his mount."
Originally, I was worried that Zhang Shou would have any opinions on the aesthetics of his name, but as soon as she heard this, Zhu Ying was suddenly misguided by Zhang Shou, and she laughed wildly: "When you say that, it's really possible!" However, anyway, he has to give it to Ah Liu, he wants to like it, and he can change it to anything! β
Lu Chan watched dumbfounded as Zhu Ying pulled Zhang Shou to test the horse, beckoned a few Zhu family guards who were waiting here to meet, and then walked away, without asking him half a sentence during the whole process, he didn't know whether he should feel neglected, so depressed, or felt that people didn't pay attention to his trip to Cangzhou, and how Zhu Tingfang was, so he was depressed.
But all in all, he's just two words, depressed. Thinking about how long he had been away from the capital, such a series of events had happened in the capital, and then thinking about his previous hope that he would go out to Cangzhou to do a career, he only felt that he was too naΓ―ve.
And when Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou rode side by side and finally left the Bei'anmen Gate of the imperial city, Zhu Hongfang, who had been silent just now and did not disturb the children at all, finally spoke: "The eldest prince is back, do you want to go to the mansion with the eldest lady to see the eldest prince?" β
"Huh?" Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying burst out with a startle almost at the same time. And immediately after, Zhu Ying immediately said angrily: "It's such an important matter, why didn't you say it earlier, Zhu Hong!" β
Seeing Zhang Shou's puzzled expression, Zhu Hong said embarrassedly: "When we were waiting in Xuanwumen before, Gonggong Lu specially informed us, I saw that the eldest lady and Dr. Zhang didn't seem surprised when they saw Gonggong Lu who had just returned from Cangzhou, and thought you all knew." β
I found out that the two of you have been talking about horses all along, and you have even been discussing horse breeding with great interest along the way, so I asked, but I really didn't expect you to just find out!
Zhang Shou couldn't cry or laugh at this time. He was very curious about how Lu Chan would come back at this time, but given that he had been in the palace for two consecutive days, he didn't expect that Zhu Tingfang, who had said that he was going back, would return to the capital like a divine soldier!
Although now even if he sees Brother Zhu again, he feels that he will not be questioned again, after all, he and others have worked together in Cangzhou, but thinking about the students who were still released by himself in Jiuzhang Hall for two mornings, he still said bluntly: "I still have to go back to Jiuzhang Hall, Yingying, you see Brother Zhu to speak for me, and I will go over to see him when I am free in the evening." β
So, when Zhu Ying, who readily agreed, returned to Zhao Guogong's Mansion and learned that the eldest brother rushed over after Qing'an Hall, as soon as she saw someone, she saw Zhu Tingfang's face stretched: "Zhang Shou left Zhang Chen and they ignored them for several days, and now even I have avoided it, what does he want to do?" β
