269 Blowing Xiao Cairen (Three Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
No need to cut paper, no engraving, no proofreading, no printing, binding, etc., only need to put it on the bookshelf for sale, and the profit of each book is as high as 50 yuan?
This is a good thing that is difficult to find a lantern, although the profit is one to five, but after deducting the loss of lamp oil and wax, there is an achievement almost, now there is no need to be so troublesome, Liu Yuan can ensure that Jinghua Study has such a big profit, isn't this obviously giving himself silver?
Li Lizhi couldn't help but wonder: "Captain Li, you can't be joking, right?" ”
"It's not a joke" Liu Yuan lowered his voice and said: "Even if you coax it, you don't dare to deceive the three highnesses, although there is a reason for a good fate, in fact, Moyun Study has just come to Chang'an, many roads have not been opened, and a lot of markets have been grabbed at low prices, but also a lot of enemies, not every opponent is as good as a few princesses, and now there are many officials who want to make trouble, and they are too disturbed, if they cooperate with Jinghua Study, then no one dares to disturb it." ”
Liu Yuan said half-truths and half-truths, the books in Moyun Study are cheap and high-quality, and there are few mistakes and omissions, and the market is opened all of a sudden, and the peers in Chang'an are naturally dissatisfied, and there are a lot of stumbling blocks in the open and in secret, fortunately, the origin is not big, and the old master hints at the backstage, they all know the difficulties and retreat, but if they have a good relationship with these princesses, the benefits will naturally not be less.
Princess Li Jing of Qinghe said a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Of course, no one in our Jinghua Study has ever dared to come to the door to make trouble." ”
Liu Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, the study is just a very low-profit business, not much money, several princesses want to earn some money for pocket money, everyone will give a little face, if it is replaced by Qinglou, Goolan, restaurant and other places where the gold is made every day, even the emperor's relatives have to break their heads, how can they easily give in?
Haven't you heard. Like Pingkangfang, where the Qinglou is more concentrated, there were several fights in the first half of the year alone, and the Qinglou was closed and opened many times, and it is said that several princes are fighting for it.
When the prince goes out of the palace and sets up his own mansion when he becomes an adult, he wants to fight for power and get a position, so he naturally has to win over ministers, adopt doormen, and support the dead, all of which require huge expenses, and there are so many monthly silvers, and the fief is not scraped if he wants to. And the grange is harvested once a year, if you want silver, it is best to send someone to do business, and protect yourself in secret, so you can naturally make money. None of this is a secret in high society.
"Since Captain Liu said so, then it would be disrespectful for me to wait." Someone brought money to the door. It's a partnership again. Within her own ability, Li Lizhi naturally would not be stupid enough to push out, and responded happily.
Liu Yuan told them that he would send someone to the shopkeeper of Jinghua Study, that is, the agents of several princesses, to discuss cooperation.
Sure enough, there are no permanent friends. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, just now they were still hostile to Li Jing and Li Shu, and they suddenly became better to Liu Yuan. Even Li Liqian's tone was softer, even when Liu Yuan left, the three princesses also gave each other gifts.
This business has been done, although a few princesses don't know how to join forces, but those princesses are married, they are all married to those princes and nobles, famous families and other high society, this good fate maybe, it will play an unexpected effect, I don't know how many people want to show favor and have no chance.
Liu Yuan felt that he had picked up a big bargain.
The palace is too big, although this is the second time to revisit, but Liu Yuan still doesn't know the way, only the little palace maid who followed the lead in front of her, slowly walked forward, seeing the high red palace wall, when she was about to leave the palace, a little eunuch suddenly walked out from the side of the pillar and blocked Liu Yuan's way.
"Dare to ask this adult, but is it Liu Yuan, the captain of Zhaowu?" The little eunuch asked respectfully.
Liu Yuan paused for a moment, but nodded quickly: "It's Liu Yuan down there, I don't know what to do with me?" ”
Hearing Liu Yuan's confession, the little eunuch was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Captain Liu, please stay, Cui Cairen is invited." ”
Cui Cairen?
Liu Yuan knew that Cui Mengyao came to Chang'an this time, under the guise of visiting the talented aunt, I heard that before the wedding, this Cui Cairen also asked someone to send a very high-quality jade pendant as a gift, but Liu Yuan really never saw her dignity, and said that once he entered the waiting door, it was as deep as the sea, and since then Xiao Lang is a passerby, and marrying into the royal family is full of rules, and he can't easily leave the palace, but he didn't expect that she actually sent a little eunuch to wait for her here.
It's interesting now, Empress Changsun summoned herself, and then Li Er wanted to see herself, Princess Qinghe and Princess Lanling wanted to see herself, that is, when she was about to leave the palace, Cui Cairen wanted to see herself again, which was really a coincidence.
"But Cui Cairen from the Qinghe Cui clan?" Liu Yuan confirmed in a low voice.
The little eunuch said with a smile: "Lord Captain is really like a fine hair, that's right, my family is from the Qinghe Cui family, and I accidentally learned that Captain Liu was summoned to the palace, so I let our family wait here, Captain Liu, let's go." ”
Cui Cairen is from the Cui family in Qinghe, it is the Cui family, Liu Yuan and Cui Mengyao are engaged, and they are also half of the Cui family, she came to invite herself to meet, and it is reasonable to pour out, it is said that Cui Mengyao has a good relationship with this talented person, and it is estimated that she wants to see how her talent looks, so she sent a little eunuch to wait here.
"Father-in-law Lao will lead the way."
"Captain, please come here."
Liu Yuan learned from Gonggong Huang that although the palace is big, it is very important to pay attention to status, and what kind of status is to live in what kind of place, like the place where the emperor lives is called Ganlu Palace, and the place where Empress Changsun lives is called Lizheng Palace, and the concubines are hospitalized, and the only people live in Jiaofang Palace, usually the more noble, the bigger the place to live, and the closer the location is to the center, while the concubines who are not valued are a little biased, just like Cui Cairen, who lives almost close to the palace wall.
It's no wonder that now the royal family and the family are fighting openly and secretly, Cui Cairen from the Qinghe Cui family is no matter how good he is, but he is afraid that he will be left out in the cold, like in this era of royal supremacy, women are often used as political bargaining chips, if the two forces are in the honeymoon period, this "bargaining chip" is naturally favored, and if it is in the midst of contradictions, it is often regarded as a tool for venting.
Hey, who's blowing the whistle?
Walking and walking, Liu Yuan suddenly heard a very melodious Xiao sound, the Xiao sound, gracefully turning, between the transfer of tones, as smooth as flowing clouds and water, and as natural as mountains and flowing water, making people feel a light and pleasant feeling when they heard it, showing the extremely high attainments of the person who blows Xiao.
I didn't expect that in the palace, there were such musical instrument masters.
"That's nice, is it a court musician playing?" Liu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
The little eunuch smiled and said: "Lord Captain, this is Cui Cairen blowing Xiao, her Xiao skills, that is a musician, and she is ashamed." ”
Is Cui Mengyao's aunt playing? No wonder Cui Mengyao inadvertently said that among all the musical instruments, what she is best at is playing Xiao, at that time, Liu Yuan was badly imagining her little face, and now it seems that she is estimated to have inherited this first-class talent from Xiao Yi.
It can be heard that the song is brisk and skillful, but Liu Yuan keenly feels that there is a trace of unspeakable resentment in the song.
"Captain Liu, wait a minute, let's go and report to the talented people." The little eunuch took Liu Yuan to the door of a courtyard and said to Liu Yuan with a smile.
"Slow" Liu Yuan said in a low voice: "Don't bother the talent, Liu is not in a hurry, wait until she finishes blowing this song, I can wait slowly." ”
The little eunuch froze for a moment, but quickly nodded, accompanied Liu Yuan outside the door, listening quietly, Liu Yuan saw that the little eunuch also looked intoxicated, as if his mood was also flying with the melodious and moving Xiao sound, which made people feel relieved, and life seemed to be full of hope.
Good music can cultivate people's sentiments and temperament.
Eunuchs are no exception.
I don't know how long it took, when the song ended, Liu Yuan was still immersed in the sound of Xiao, and the little eunuch went straight in to report it.
Soon, the little eunuch walked out and made a gesture of invitation to Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan hurriedly followed behind, and it could be seen that the palace where Cui Cairen lived was far inferior to the Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun lived in terms of scale, decoration, number of maids and frequency of soldiers' inspections, this is the difference in status.
"Zhaowu Captain Liu Yuan, see Cui Cairen." After Liu Yuan entered, he made a routine salute.
Liu Yuan wanted to see what this Cui Cairen who Xiao skills were like, but as soon as he came in, he was immediately disappointed, not disappointed in Cui Cairen's appearance, but that Cui Cairen was sitting behind a bead curtain, Liu Yuan just glanced at it, and hurriedly glanced at it from the gap, and faintly saw that there was a dignified beauty sitting inside, very beautiful and temperamental, just half a glance, and was attracted to her.
It's not a clan in-law, so you have to avoid it, so as not to attract criticism, it's a big crime to kill your head, just like those concubines are not feeling well, those imperial doctors can't see it up close, can't touch it directly with their hands, they can only put a golden thread on her vein, and judge her condition according to the frequency of the golden thread's vibration a few meters away, and force out a stunt that shocked the world.
There was no sound inside, and it was obvious that Cui Cairen inside was also observing Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's gaze is very calm, and his expression is also very calm, Li Er and Empress Changsun have all seen it, a small talent, Liu Yuan didn't feel anything terrible, besides, she is a member of the Cui family, that is, her own person, naturally she will not be unfavorable to herself.
"Well, a talented and young man, it is rare that there is no arrogance on his face, and Xiao Yao's vision is not bad." In the bead curtain, a very soft and pleasant sound suddenly came out.
The sound seems to be a hot summer, lying on a bamboo chair, quietly listening to the sound of the breeze blowing the bamboo forest, it is very good.
"Talented people have won awards." Hearing Cui Cairen's appreciation, Liu Yuan was secretly proud in his heart, after all, everyone likes good words, not to mention that these words still came out of the mouth of a concubine, and the credibility was naturally greatly increased.
Cui Cairen smiled: "What, if you marry my Cui Meng, do you have to be stingy even with an aunt?" ”
"Aunt" Liu Yuan was not embarrassed, and screamed obediently.
"Good!" Cui Cairen said eloquently: "I called you here this time, firstly, to see your talent appearance, and secondly, to ask for something. (To be continued.) )
