He stood up and instructed the middle-aged man as he walked: "Wang Kun, if she wants to print, give her a receipt." ”

"I know, Dad." Wang Kun agreed, glanced at Mrs. Cui, and stood there without speaking.

Madame gritted her teeth: "Cheng, print." ”

A hundred pennies is really nothing to her. Usually there are more than these alms to the little beggars. As for the newspaper, she still has two templates in her hand. Even if she cheats, she doesn't have much to lose.

The mother-in-law behind her stepped forward, counted a hundred yuan, and got a note written by Wang Kun about how much money was received, how much money was left, and how much was printed, and it was also stamped with the seal of "Wang Ji Seal Workshop".

"I'll get the goods in ten days." Wang Kun said.

"Ten days?" Mrs. Cui was surprised.

It's also incredible.

In general, whether it is engraving or movable type, because it takes a lot of effort to engrave or typeset, it takes a lot of effort before printing. Her newspaper can't be printed in 20 days. This is still when there are no guests in line in front.

If there is a queue, it will take longer.

Wang Kun sent off the guest expressionlessly: "It's good to go, don't send it." ”

Mrs. Choi went out in a trance.

Seeing the courtyard door closing behind them, the mother-in-law asked worriedly. "Ma'am, is this reliable?"

Mrs. Cui looked at the rather formal note, and then thought that this was the place introduced by Zhao Ruxi, and calmed down, "It should be no problem." ”

A hundred dollars is not worth cheating, is it? If she is really a liar, you must first trick her to see if she has a background and background.

Mrs. Cui is a daughter of a family, and her husband's family is also a family, although she lives a simple life, but the jewelry on her head is not ordinary, and the dress reveals the heritage of the family, that is, on the carriage, there are also the symbols of the husband's family.

There are many powerful people in the capital, and the relationship is intricate. Unless you are stunned and don't know anything, you don't dare to offend anyone easily. It is those kings who act with fear.

So it's impossible for the family to cheat her for a hundred dollars.

Back at the academy, Mrs. Cui wanted to tell Zhao Ruxi about it. But it seems that she doesn't trust the printing workshop she introduced. She could only hold back and say nothing, and only wait for the results to come out in ten days.

Ten days later, Mrs. Cui went to the door to get the newspaper again, and the middle-aged man named Wang Kun opened the door, he pointed to a stack of newspapers on a table against the wall and said, "It's all here, you can ask someone to come in and move it." ”

Mrs. Cui walked over, picked up one of them and looked at it, and it was really the same as the template she handed over. It's just that the paper is bigger, the handwriting is also larger, the paper is slightly harder, and the handwriting on it is standardized and stereotyped, and it is indeed printed. When you get closer, you can smell the ink.

She was shocked and raised her eyes to look at Wang Kun, but the man had already walked to the table and sat down, continuing to write his own words, as if he didn't care about them at all.

However, he opened his mouth: "There are still two thousand nine hundred Wen left, please pay it." ”

Mrs. Cui came back to her senses at this time, and immediately motioned to her mother-in-law to pay, and then turned her head and instructed her subordinates to move these newspapers out.

In this era, the paper is easy to break and wrinkle, and the books are extremely valuable, so you should be especially careful when carrying them.

Mrs. Cui's subordinates are often carrying books and test papers for the academy, and they are very experienced.

They rolled the newspapers into rolls, tied them with rope, and packed them into wooden boxes that they had brought with them. Wait until one box is full, then another.

Mrs. Cui stared at them rolling the newspaper, and found that no matter which one she rolled up, the newspaper that appeared below was the same as the one she was holding in her hand, and so was the back of the rolled-up. Only then did she feel relieved.

She turned around and said to Wang Kun: "If I want to print another three hundred copies after a while, is there a problem?" ”

Wang Kun was writing something in an account book, and when he heard this, he didn't stop his hand, and said casually: "No problem, the price is the same as now." ”

Mrs. Cui specially brought two more manservants and a mule cart today, because there were so many people, and the three hundred newspapers were moved at once.

She saw that Wang Kun didn't mean to entertain her, she didn't even mean to sit down and pour a cup of tea, and now that the newspaper was finished, she had to leave.

"It's good to go, don't send it." Only then did Wang Kun stand up and arch his hand casually. As soon as the group left, he closed the door.

"Let's go." Mrs. Cui got into the carriage and ordered, "Go directly to the eldest princess." ”

Ten days ago, she was afraid that this matter would be unreliable, and she didn't want to tell the eldest princess. But the eldest princess remembered the newspaper and sent someone to ask her if she had asked Zhao Ruxi for an idea, so she told her about it.

Now maybe the eldest princess is also thinking about this at home.

Sure enough, her carriage stopped at the door of the eldest princess's house, and the eldest princess personally greeted her and asked her, "How is the matter?" ”

"It's finished." Mrs. Cui said, "That person really printed the newspaper, and it was better than that of ordinary printing shops, and he didn't charge more." I asked him if he could print another 300 copies, and he said yes. ”

When she said it, she didn't mean to be happy, and her expression was still a little dignified; When the eldest princess heard this, her face was not happy, but her brows furrowed.

Madame Cui got out of the car and asked her servants to carry a box from the mule cart and open it to show the eldest princess of Shangde.

The eldest princess of Shangde did not instruct her subordinates, she stepped forward and pulled the rope, personally untied a roll of newspaper, picked up one and looked at it, then looked at the back, and asked Mrs. Cui, "Are they all the same?" ”

"It's all the same." Mrs. Choi nodded.

"Let's go. Go in and say. The eldest princess took the newspaper and went straight to the hall.

The two of them sat down as the guest of honor.

The eldest princess asked Mrs. Cui, "What do you think?" ”

"I always feel that Zhiwei gave us money." Mrs. Cui said.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain this.

Eldest Princess Shangde nodded: "I think so too. ”

Zhao Ruxi may feel embarrassed because she accepted her Zhuangzi and wanted to give back; Or they want to contribute to what they do, so they quietly put the money in print. When Mrs. Cui came to the door, the printing workshop symbolically collected a little money.

"You go and make it clear to her, it's not child's play." The eldest princess Shangde's face was not very good-looking, "She can cushion for a while, but she can't cushion for a lifetime." We can't explain to the emperor like this. ”

"Yes." Mrs. Cui said goodbye and hurried back to the academy.

She sent someone to find Zhao Ruxi, and told her the importance of whether the newspaper could be successful, and said: "I am very grateful to the eldest princess for your advance, but things can't be done like this." ”

Zhao Ruxi opened his mouth several times and was interrupted by Mrs. Cui's tirade, and only then did he have a chance to speak.

She shook her head: "I swear to God, I really didn't advance money for you." I proposed to start a newspaper, and I couldn't have clearer about the significance and importance of its existence. Even if I had the heart, I would only donate money to you, and I would not secretly do such stupid things. ”

Mrs. Cui was stunned: "Then what's going on?" ”
