10,000 rolls.

A middle-aged man in a fancy costume sat in the back hall, sipped his tea gently, and a guy walked in from the front hall, knocked on the door, and said, "Shopkeeper, the Palace of Eternal Life is about to sell out again." ”

"If it's out of stock, don't let them hurry up and print it!" The middle-aged man put down the teacup heavily and said with a cold snort.

The guy immediately said, "Yes, I'll rush it right away!" ”

The middle-aged man picked up the teacup again, but the expression on his face was not good-looking.

Since the last time Wanjuanlou was seized for selling books banned by the imperial court, he spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to reopen the bookstore.

Those forbidden books were originally a huge entry for the bookstore, but now that the imperial court has strictly investigated, this road has almost been blocked, and the profit of Wanjuanlou in January has immediately fallen by half.

Although the business has been hot in the past two days, the root cause is that it has been stained with other people's light, and they can't start from the source to find Tang Ningning, Tang people eat meat, and they only have to drink soup.

He was planning this matter in his heart, when suddenly a guy ran from the front and said loudly: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good for the shopkeeper!" ”

The middle-aged man slapped the table and said angrily: "Panic, what's going on!" ”

The guy said in a panicked tone: "A few officials came and detained all our "Palace of Eternal Life" that we were selling! ”

"What?" The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this, and immediately got up and walked to the front hall.

In the front hall of Wanjuanlou, an official opened a scroll of "The Palace of Eternal Life" that was sold outside, and asked, "What else do you have to deny if you get the stolen goods?" ”

As soon as the middle-aged man came out of the back hall, Steward Zhang ran over quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This official brother, we don't know that there is such a thing in Wanjuanlou......

"Don't know?" The official raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you don't know, you can do anything wrong, and if you don't know, you can bully the market?" ”

The middle-aged man took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, quietly stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Brother Guancha, please make it convenient, we promise to act according to the law in the future, and we dare not do it again." ”

"Ten taels of silver, you want to buy me?" The official took the silver, put it in his hand, carried it in his arms, and said: "We are also under orders, so naturally it is impossible for you to be bribed, so let's read that you are the first offender, before tomorrow, hand over all the illegally obtained silver, and then pay the same amount of fine, and then you will not close your shop." ”

With that, he walked out of the Wanjuan Building and said, "Go to the next one." ”

The shopkeeper of Wanjuanlou stood in place, the expression on his face was suspicious, he thought for a while, and said, "You guys look at the store first, and I'll go out." ”

Wanjuanlou has been able to open in Beijing for so long, and after the last seizure turmoil, it can still make a comeback, so naturally there is some background.

However, when he walked out of the mansion of a certain high gate in Beijing, his face was gray.

Just now, he gave a huge amount of filial piety every month, and told him bluntly that he had to admit all the punishments of the government in this matter, otherwise, it would not be as simple as the bookstore being seized.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurried back to prepare the fine.

The backer said so, and he naturally didn't dare to make any sense, but this matter came suddenly, but it was a storm, and I am afraid that this line of work is going to change......

……

In one day, the major bookstores in Beijing took down the book "The Palace of Eternal Life", and they all honestly offered fines, if the people of Beijing wanted to buy this "Palace of Eternal Life" that set off a short-term boom, they could only choose to go to Tang Renzhai.

This directly caused the entire section of the street in front of the Tang Renzhai Gate to become extremely congested, and it was difficult for cars and horses to travel.

Tang Ning no longer has the heart to care about these things, today is the first day of the sixth month, and the days before marriage are numbered, who he wants to invite and what kind of wine and food he wants to put on that day, he has to handle it personally.

There is one more thing that needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Before the ninth day of the sixth month, he always had to recruit some maids into the house, and this matter could not be delayed for a day.

People don't have to worry too much, let Liu Lao Er pick a few disciples who are diligent and quick-witted, and they are much better than being beggars on weekdays.

The maid is to serve in the inner house, and character is very important, so Tang Ning decided to choose it himself.

Xiaoyi was called by his mother-in-law again, he just saw the third aunt and Xiao Rushen talking mysteriously, and wanted to find someone to accompany him to see the maid, but he could only find Tang Yaoyao.

Tang Fairy was sitting in the pavilion in a daze, and Tang Ning walked over and sat beside her, looking at her like she had looked at herself yesterday.

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

Tang Ning asked rhetorically, "What did you see me doing yesterday?" ”

Tang Yaoyao thought that she actually looked at Tang Ning yesterday, and after watching it for a long time, she actually had the urge to kiss her, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

Tang Ning was surprised: "What are you blushing for?" ”

Tang Yaoyao glared at him and said, "My face is red if I want to be red, and white when I want to be white, can you manage it?" ”

Fortunately, Tang Ning was used to her inexplicability, and said, "I'm going to recruit a few maids, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Don't go!"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Oh, then I'll go find Miss Su, she is familiar with this Jingshi......"

Tang Xiaoyao finally decided to go with him, because she also needed to buy a few maids for her house.

In fact, she bought a house just a little more, just she was alone, just live with them, she had to buy a house and buy a maid, there was really a lot of money and nowhere to spend.

When he walked out of the door, he met King Run, and he had to go with him, so Tang Ning went with him.

King Run followed him and asked, "Sir, can I come on the day you get married?" ”

Tang Ning said indifferently: "If you can get out of the palace, come here." ”

"Oh, my father won't let me out of the palace at night." King Run thought for a while and said, "Then Mr. leave me a meal, I'll come back the next morning to eat......"

In the country of Chen, people cannot be trafficked, but they can be bought and sold.

If the traffickers are caught, they will definitely not survive, but if you want to buy and sell, you only need a deed of sale, and this kind of transaction can be protected by the government.

Before Tang Ning walked into the tooth shop, he saw a lot of people standing on the adjacent street corner, and King Run pointed to a girl in a coarse cloth shirt and asked, "Sir, why do they all have a straw on their heads?" ”

Tang Ning looked at the girls on the street corner, the eldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old, all with a straw stuck in their heads.

Tang Ning's gaze swept over the faces of the girls one by one, their expressions were dull and confused, with a hint of fear.

He stood there for a moment before explaining, "This straw is called a straw mark, and the grass mark is inserted on the thing to indicate that the thing can be sold. ”

King Run was puzzled: "But they are human beings, how can people buy and sell like things?" ”

Even if King Run called him "sir", Tang Ning couldn't explain the problem to him.

They stood there for a moment, and a woman in coarse cloth came over and said with a smile on her face: "Childe, do you want to buy a girl, it only costs seven taels of silver, which is twice as cheap as the one in the tooth shop!" ”

When I saw this woman approaching, there were many people around the corner.

"Childe, my girl is smart and smart, she can do laundry and cooking, as long as six taels of silver!"

"Childe, look at our family, our family only needs five taels!"

"Four taels, as long as the son gives us four taels, you can take this girl away immediately!"

……

"Go away, go away, go away!" A slightly brighter woman squeezed in from outside, looked at Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "Childe is here to buy a maid, I am a tooth woman here, Childe is invited inside, although these little girls outside are cheap, but they have not been trained, and they have to spend time teaching the rules when they buy back, it is not cost-effective, we have maids here who come out of big families, understand the rules, know the etiquette, and the son can pick ...... at will."

"I bought them all!"

Before Tang Ning could speak, a voice came from his ear.

Tang Yaoyao took out a silver ticket from his arms, shook it in front of those people's eyes, and said, "You go to the county government first, and I'll go over in a while!" ”

"Thank you, girl, thank you!"

There was an uproar from the crowd, and the women threw aside the straw on the girls' heads, pulled them aside, and walked quickly in the direction of the county office, where the deed of sale needed to be issued.

The tooth woman looked at Tang Yaoyao, then at Tang Ning, pursed her lips, and muttered, "Childe......"

"Forget it." Tang Ning waved his hand and walked in the direction Tang Yaoyao had come.

The maids taught by big families are sensible, and they don't need to teach the rules again, but who made the kind-hearted Tang Nuxia feel compassion?

Although she is a little violent, a little impulsive, and a little stupid, her heart is as kind as ever, and she is still the cute little goblin in essence.

King Run followed behind Tang Ning, and since just now, he hadn't said a word, and his chubby round face showed a rare look of thought.
