It must be Xiao Zhouhou's will not to let Zhou Xuan be the wedding envoy, Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle have a quarrel like this, and it is very inappropriate for Zhou Xuan to be the wedding envoy, otherwise who knows what will happen to this pair of cousins on the road!

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "If you don't go, don't go, buddy is at home with his wife, teasing his daughter, playing kickball, playing chess, fighting insects, singing songs and tasting tea, being my happy county prince, that obedient princess let her go to the dire Southern Han to suffer, this big wave of princesses actually said to Xiao Zhou in front of her that either marry me or kill me, it's too much, she doesn't want to go to the Southern Han Dynasty to drag me into the water!" ”

Sending off the white eunuch, Zhou Xuan returned to the main hall to continue to talk with Wang Shizhang, Wang Shizhang was very much looking forward to his interview being published in the Di Bao, and said: "The county duke, there is also a engraving and printing workshop below, just on the side of the Wuwei Bridge in Jubaomen, printing some children's books and famous thorn invitations on weekdays, and it is also a well-known printing society in Jinling. ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be a bookseller, that's just right, I'm trying to find a printing agency to cooperate, I should be able to make a little money, haha." ”

Wang Shizhang was overjoyed, he knew that Hu Shang Abu and Zhou Xuan cooperated in the sale of Xuanjing, Abu borrowed Zhou Xuan's power to quickly gain a foothold in Jinling, in just half a year, he actually opened 26 stores, 18 in Jinling, 6 in Guangling, "Xuanjing", "Five-color glazed ware", "Fanghua Forever Frost", "Big Food Carpet", that is one after another, it is really a day to make money, and now I heard that Zhou Xuan intends to cooperate with him, I am really overjoyed, no matter whether the cooperation can make money. At least the friendship with Zhou Xuan is a big step forward, his silver is enough, what he cares about is to find an official position in his lifetime, for the sake of future generations, otherwise, what is the meaning of guarding Wanguan's family wealth and being a pariah for generations, offending an official can make you bankrupt, he Lao Wang has been a low-voiced man with his tail between his legs for so many years.

"The county magistrate, please say, if you want money to pay, if you want people to pay, as long as the county prince says a word." Wang Shizhang said excitedly.

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly. took out the book that Xiao Zhouhou had written, and asked Xiao Zhouhou for it in the Calyx Xianghui Building, saying that he would go back and copy a copy. Zhou Xuanxian told Wang Shizhang about the method of movable type printing, Wang Shizhang deserved to be a shrewd businessman, and said in surprise: "The more movable type printing technology that the county prince said, the lower the cost, I don't know how many copies of the county prince's book will be printed?" ”

Zhou Xuanxin said: "This is the first book I published in the Tang Kingdom, and the first printing must have 5,000 copies." He said, "Print 5,000 copies first, don't worry, you will never lose money by printing this book, this book is my game." Compiled by the Empress herself, this is the first volume, and it is expected to be twenty volumes. ”

Wang Shizhang's eyes widened, wow, the queen mother compiled it herself, this book has to be printed even if it is a loss, and I respectfully held that book. Turned two pages, only to see the pen is beautiful, elegant, the queen's mother Mobao is genuine. Zhou Xuan said: "You quickly find a master who is good at copying handwriting, copy this book twice, one as a model, and one for me to keep." Then according to this font to make cement movable type, the font production must be exquisite. ”

Wang Shizhang said yes again and again, and asked: "County Prince, this book does not have a title yet, and the author uses the name of the County Prince?" ”

Zhou Xuandao: "The title of the book is "Strange Tales of Calyx Tower". ^Author of a book. Let's use the name of the Seven Forks Son, and make the word mold first. Don't rush to print it after the layout is arranged, I have to ask the queen for a preface. ”

Wang Shizhang carefully wrapped the book in silk and brought it back, saying that he would return the original work early in the morning, so please rest assured.

Zhou Xuan asked the steward to invite Master Pan of Jixian Palace, and told Master Pan that after that, all the newspapers were printed in Wang's Printing Society, and there was no need to pay a penny, and the silver saved was used as a pen polish.

This interview is about 2,000 words, Zhou Xuan looked at it, the text was clear, everything that should have been written was written, and there was quite sensational at the end of the article, and he said with a smile: "Yes, the reward is ten taels of silver." ”

Zhou Xuan returned to the "Furong Garden", Qin Que and Suzhen learned that their husbands didn't have to go far to the Southern Han Dynasty, and they were so happy that they seemed to be celebrating the festival, Xiaodi was also happy these days, and there were Da, Xiaoluo, Tang Xiaosan, and Hu Tong to play with him, and the huge county mansion alone was enough for him to run.

After dinner, Zhou Xuan said: "Judge Fan from Jiangzhou is here, and he will go back in half a month, if there is anything to bring back to Jiangzhou, let's prepare it, write one letter each, and I will find Yang Xiaofeng to write a few letters on my behalf." ”

Qin Que knew that Yang Xiaofeng's literary talent was above her and the sewing needle, and the husband wanted to write several letters to Yang Xiaofeng, the Zhou Mansion and the Duhu Mansion had to write, and said with a smile: "The female disciple of the husband is also very good, and if she can write a prose, once she enters the Zhou Mansion, she must come in handy." ”

"Rui Chu?" Zhou Xuanxi said: "I only know that she likes to write words, but I don't know that she can also write." Immediately ordered the little girl to go to the "Decoration Brocade Building" to call Rui Chu and meet him in the sheep room.

Zhou Xuan shook the folding fan to the upstairs Yang Xiaoyun room, this pure beautiful girl was stringing a nine-stringed piano, Yang Xiaofeng is definitely a genius in terms of musical instruments, even if it is an instrument she has never learned, such as the last time Zhou Xuan gave her the blues harmonica to try to play, only one night, and the next day she played better than Lin Hanyun, who had studied for several months.

Seeing Zhou Xuan, Yang Xiaofeng didn't immediately get up to greet him, and said with a sweet smile: "Son, wait a minute." He focused on the stringing of the piano.

Zhou Xuan walked to Yang Xiaofeng's side, watched her tune the strings, and fanned her, Yang Xiaofeng was silent and not very gregarious, Zhou Xuan arranged a maid to serve her, she didn't want it, only in front of Zhou Xuan, she seemed full of joy and talked more.

Yang Xiaofeng saw Zhou Xuan fanning her, her eyelashes flickered, she suddenly turned her head and tiptoed to kiss Zhou Xuan on the lips, her pretty face was flying, and she played with the strings seriously. "Feng'er is not well-behaved, and he is distracted." Zhou Xuan smiled and scraped the tip of her nose with his index finger.

Yang Xiaofeng gently rubbed his cheeks on the back of Zhou Xuan's hand, and his eyes were full of water, compared to Yang Xiaofeng's delicate cheeks, the back of Zhou Xuan's hand was coarse and rough, and they were numb when rubbed.

Yang Xiaofeng couldn't concentrate on tuning the strings, so she got up and cleaned her hands. \\\.***\ Let Zhou Xuan sit, she walked quickly to the next room, came over with a cup of tea in her hand, looked at Zhou Xuan with beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Childe, this is the purple bamboo shoot tea that Feng'er cooked for Childe----"

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Xiao Feng also learned the tea ceremony?" Okay, let me, the world's tenth-ranked tea taster, taste the ----" took a sip, closed my eyes and savored it, the water is a thousand Buddha stream water, and it is suitable for purple bamboo shoot tea. It's just that the boiling is old, and it is all boiling, and the taste of water and tea is damaged----

Yang Xiaofeng stood in front of Zhou Xuan. Leaned forward slightly nervously, hoping to hear a compliment from the son, the purple bamboo shoot tea with a thousand Buddha stream water was the last time Jingyi Fairy Land Birthday Music Tea Party She heard Jingyi Fairy say, this is completely devoted to Zhou Xuan's beautiful girl knows that Zhou Xuan loves to drink tea, so she quietly learned the tea ceremony, and finally mustered up the courage to cook tea for Zhou Xuan tonight.

Zhou Xuan opened his eyes and saw Yang Xiaofeng's delicate face like beautiful porcelain and jade, and he couldn't hide his expectant look. Then he smiled and said: "Purple bamboo shoot tea uses the water of Qixia Mountain Thousand Buddha Stream, which is very good, and tea and water are suitable----"

Yang Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly emitted a bright light like stars, and joy rose from the bottom of her heart. Zhou Xuan sat on his lap with her thin waist, praised her, and then elaborated that the third boiling of water should take water to make tea when the spring is boiling. This makes the tea taste more beautiful.

Yang Xiaofeng is a very smart girl, hearing Zhou Xuan say this, she knew that her tea was not brewed well, and the son praised her for taking care of her face, and said with a smile: "The son wants to teach Feng'er more, and the son worships the son as a teacher, right?" ”

The round buttocks of the sheep and the flesh pressed on Zhou Xuan's legs, and it felt wonderful. Zhou Xuandao: "Apprentice, the person who loves apprenticeship the most is coming----

Before the words fell, I heard an "ah" outside the door, and a figure flashed away.

"Rui Chu!" Yang Xiaofeng hurriedly stood up from Zhou Xuan's lap, ran to the door in broken steps, and saw Rui Chu standing on the side of the corridor. I bumped into two of my teachers making love. Rui Chu was very embarrassed.

Yang Xiaofeng took Rui Chu's hand and came in, without Xuanhe makeup, and the clear water hibiscus was bright and moving. Ying Ying saluted Zhou Xuan and Yang Xiaofeng, both of whom were "my teacher".

Zhou Xuan said: "Rui Chu, I asked you to write a letter for me, Xiao Feng also has to write, there is still an errand after writing the letter." ”

The two daughters both sat down at the bookcase and asked in unison, "Who did the son write to?" ”

Zhou Xuandao: "Write letters to my two fathers-in-law respectively, Rui Chu writes to Dr. Qin, and Feng'er writes to Lin Dai Duhu, just be decent, pay attention, the pen is not too soft, rough." Immediately, he said something to be written in the letter.

Yang Xiaofeng and Rui Chu pondered for a while, and then began to write letters, Zhou Xuan sat opposite the two, and also took a piece of Xue Tao note, and wrote a letter to Lin Hanyun, half literate and half white, Lin Hanyun likes this, she was dizzy when she read it, and after writing it, she recorded the "Red Bean Song" of "Dream of Red Mansions" by hand----

"Endless lovesick blood and tears throw red beans, can't finish the spring willows and spring flowers are full of paintings, can't sleep unsteadily, after the wind and rain at dusk, I can't forget the new sorrow and old sorrow, I can't swallow the jade grains and the golden ulva choke my throat, and I can't see the thin in the rhombic glasses. The brows that can't be opened, and the ones that can't be cleared are even more leaky. Yikes! It seems that the green mountains that can't be covered are faint, and the green water that flows constantly is long, and the green water is long-

This lyric Zhou Xuan once sang to the Lin sisters, this time he copied it by himself, and wrote ----" The old work of the book "Red Bean Song" was sent to Sister Daoyun. ”

Yang Xiaofeng and Rui Chu have written, this kind of polite words a lot of letters are relatively easy to write, a lot of sentences, borrowing is, of course, it is difficult to write, I have never heard of anyone who wrote to the old man to write a famous article, no passion, so Zhou Xuan asked two female secretaries to ghostwrite.

Yang Xiaofeng and Rui Chu put down their brushes, and they both stretched their necks to read the lyrics written by Zhou Xuan.

Rui Chu asked: "My teacher, what is the format of this non-poem and non-words?" ”

Yang Xiaofeng said: "Childe, this is a lovesick song." ”

Sending a lovesick song to the female crown, Zhou Xuan's face did not change, and replied to Rui Chu: "This is the lyrics, written for the teacher." ”

Rui Chu asked: "My teacher, how can you sing this if you don't follow the music card?" ”

Zhou Xuan was interested tonight, so he sang a song, metallic baritone, slow and affectionate, listening to the eyes of the two girls, Yang Xiaofeng heard Zhou Xuan sing "The moon comes out bright and bright" in Meiling, Hongzhou, I haven't heard "Red Bean Song", that kind of deep love makes people feel excited.

"I didn't expect my teacher's singing voice to be so good!" Rui Chu sighed.

Zhou Xuan's singing sang Qin Que and the sewing needle, as well as a group of little girls.

Qin Que and the sewing needle said that the letter was written. Please take a look.

Zhou Xuan read both letters, praised the good writing, and then said: "Everyone is in good spirits today, let's go to the Jinlou to have a small family concert, Xiao Zhiruo will hold a large concert after she is born, this time it is a rehearsal." ”

Zhou Xuan held the sewing needle, Qin Que held Xiaodi, Yang Xiaofeng, Rui Chu, and cumin were seven or eight girls, carrying lanterns. Chirping, happily go to the "brocade building".

The "Decoration Brocade Building" is just behind the "Furong Garden", where there is a singing and dancing tower. Now the place of residence is Rui Chu, Nian Nujiao, and the four maiko of the "Cloud Dress Women's Clothing" brought by Zhou Xuan from Jiangzhou this time, seeing Zhou Xuan and others coming, I heard that it was a concert, and they were all very interested.

Zhou Xuan ordered the servant woman to prepare melons and fruits and snacks, and then said to the large pile of warblers and warblers present: "Everyone, be quiet, listen to me---- Zhou Mansion will give birth to a small life in mid to late August." That is my eldest daughter Zhou Zhiruo---- Queer, the needle is a daughter in the belly, but you said, when the daughter becomes a son, I will find you to settle the account, "Decoration Jinlou" suddenly laughed.

Qin Que smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to become a son." ”

Zhou Xuandao: "The eldest is the best daughter, and she will take care of her younger brothers and sisters in the future, and if she is a son, she will bully her younger brothers and sisters." ”

The women laughed again.

Zhou Xuan said: "Don't laugh, listen to me." If Xiao Zhi is born and washes the three dynasties to hold a concert, then see if you can invite Your Majesty and Niangniang to come, now start to register, who knows what musical instrument will tell me, don't sign up for the three-legged cat, like cumin flute. ”

Cumin said, "Uncle." Isn't there almost two months left, cumin asked Sister Yang to teach me well, cumin can practice hard, right? ”

Zhou Xuan said: "That's okay, let Xiaofeng be assessed at that time, whether she can play or not, Xiaofeng has the final say, she is the authority." ”

Nian Nujiao took the lead in signing up: "Childe." I signed up for the pipa. ”

Rui Chu said to Yang Xiaofeng: "Sheep Master." I'll report it, okay? "Rui Chu is the best at playing the kite, but even her strongest is not as good as Yang Xiaofeng.

Yang Xiaofeng nodded. She doesn't care, she can come with any instrument.

The four maiko from Jiangzhou are good at dancing, but they can also play musical instruments, and the four maiko are the fine willow playing the dragon ruan, the Ji Zhi playing the pan flute, the Su Xixi drumming, and the phoenix bell playing the sheng.

Qin Que has always been confident, this will be a little timid, and whispered: "Husband, the finch doesn't know how to play a musical instrument, the finch has been learning art with her father since she was a child, and she has never learned any musical instrument." ”

Zhou Xuan shook her hand: "It doesn't matter, you have to help the sewing needle take care of Xiao Zhiruo then." ”

There were also a few little girls who also shouted that they could play this and that, and Zhou Xuan asked them to find Yang Xiaofeng.

Yang Xiaofeng said: "Then verify it now." "Let the maid go to the "Furong Garden" musical instrument room to move musical instruments and play live.

For a while, the sound of silk and bamboo was boiling, and the "brocade building" was full of singing and laughing.

Zhou Xuan slammed the drum and suppressed all the other music.

This concert was too hasty, not well organized, a bit chaotic, and more lively.

At night, Yang Xiaofeng went to bed, and the two of them talked about the preparations for the concert on the pillow, Zhou Xuan said: "At present, there are more than a dozen people available, it seems that there is a little less, the octagram is incomplete, and then call Abu's two concubines to come together, and the Sun brothers----"

Yang Xiaofeng said: "Childe, you don't need to call outsiders, just us people, I will match well, I just found that there are two maids, one blows bamboo, one blows pipes, both are not bad, a little training, more practice can play---- is one less to play the gonghou, play the gonghou from time to time for a year and a half to practice, at least three years of hard practice to get started." ”

Zhou Xuan remembered Xiahou's tassel gonghou skills, sighed slightly in his heart, and said, "Then you can play the gonghou." ”

Yang Xiaofeng said: "Childe, you play the piano." ”

Zhou Xuan said "um", the guqin is the king of musical instruments, only Yang Xiaofeng can be competent, thought about it, and said: "Princess Qingle can play the gonghou, I don't know if I am fine or not, I didn't pay attention to it at the music tea party last time." ”

Yang Xiaofeng said in his heart: "I said that I don't need outsiders, why does the son still mention Princess Qingle?" Isn't the princess going to marry the Southern Han Dynasty? ”
