Chapter 230: Papermaking

"That's right!" Mu Qing nodded in agreement, "This is indeed a good idea. ”

But soon Mu Qing looked at Bai Lichen with resentment:

"But it's all this time, what to plant? What to plant will have to wait for next year's spring ploughing, right? ”

She was so happy that she almost forgot about it.

Bai Lichen pulled her to sit down on the stone by the roadside, and encouraged him as he looked at the surrounding water washed away:

"You can hire them for spring ploughing next year, but you'll have to figure out what to do now."

Mu Qing fell into sorrow again, and there seemed to be no good way to think about it.

She has a lot of cheap shops and the like, but the shopkeepers of those shops are not something ordinary people can do.

The steward told her that the guys and stewards under the name of the Wan family have been trained since eleven or twelve, and all of them can read and count, which has been cultivated with a lot of money!

The kind that can hold up the faΓ§ade when you take it out!

Of course, Mu Qing wouldn't replace those people with these villagers with a stroke of his brain.

Bai Lichen didn't say anything when he saw Mu Qing's face change back and forth, and he found that as long as he was there, Mu Qing seemed to subconsciously rely on him.

This is a good thing, he is very happy, but who can accompany him forever for a lifetime? She always had to be independent.

This time, he was looking forward to what Mu Qing could come up with.

Mu Qing didn't come up with a way, and they were ready to go back the next day.

Because Mu Qing was too tired in the past two days, she had a problem with back pain, and this time Xia Sheng gave her a needle that was useless, so she could only go back to Qing Ziran.

Qing Ziran heard what Mu Qingyi said, and immediately gave a judgment: "I'm tired, it's fine if it hurts for two days." ”

Mu Qing: "...... "What does it mean to be fine for two days?"

"Pain relief!" Bai Lichen clenched his fists and glared at Qing Ziran.

Qing Ziran was a little helpless: "The needle didn't work before, it means that she is really tired, didn't I tell you that you can't make her too tired?"

If you want to relieve pain, you can't get a needle, so you can prescribe a pair of painkillers, and it's no problem to drink two pairs once in a while. ”

Mu Qing resigned herself to drinking painkillers, and sure enough, she felt better, and she felt good after two days.

But Bai Lichen didn't let her go to the suburbs of Beijing anymore, and Mu Qing complained and didn't say anything anymore.

Mu Qing was bored at home, but Dong Shu'er came to the door at this time, so she didn't feel so bored.

"Let's go to No. 1 Bookstore tomorrow, I heard that No. 1 Bookstore found a pair of authentic works of Mr. Lin'an two days ago, and it will be sold tomorrow, and the one with the highest price will get it then."

Dong Shuer likes Mr. Lin'an's calligraphy and painting very much, so naturally she will not miss it.

Mu Qing's cheap mother-in-law has a bookstore in it, Mu Qing learned a little about it at that time, this No. 1 bookstore opened more than ten years earlier than the bookstore under their name, and it was their sworn enemy!

Oh yes, the owner of this No. 1 bookstore heard that he has a good relationship with Yu Chenglin.

Mu Qing touched her chin, her brain was spinning rapidly, she and the Yu family were now mortal enemies, either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind.

It's not okay to directly face Yu Chenglin, it should be okay to do tricks and feet in other places.

"What are you thinking?"

Dong Shu'er couldn't help but shudder when she saw Mu Qing's smile, how could she feel that the person in front of her was like a little fox.

Mu Qing came back to his senses and happily agreed to Dong Shu'er: "I'll accompany you tomorrow!" ”

Just to see if there's anything you can do to get them out of luck.

Dong Shuer didn't know Mu Qing's thoughts, and left happily.

Mu Qing talked to Bai Lichen, Bai Lichen had no opinion, and going to the bookstore would not affect Mu Qing's back injury.

Dong Shu'er came early the next morning, and took Mu Qing to the No. 1 bookstore.

The No. 1 bookstore is already full of people at this time, those with money and those without money.

Mu Qing was not interested in any calligraphy and painting, she was full of thoughts about how to make the Yu family unlucky.

As far as he knew, the boss of this No. 1 bookstore had a close relationship with Yu Chenglin.

"Qing'er, there are so many people, can I still buy Mr. Lin'an's paintings?" Dong Shuer was a little worried.

Mu Qing was puzzled: "Do you have to buy it?" Why don't you just enjoy it? ”

"You don't understand this, Mr. Lin'an is everyone, his calligraphy and painting are ......"

Dong Shu'er kept blowing Mr. Lin'an's rainbow fart in her mouth at this time.

Mu Qing nodded again and again when he listened, it was similar to a modern star chaser, but now this star chaser is a literati, this is called Ya!

Mu Qing didn't understand it anyway, and he didn't plan to understand, he couldn't help but say that they were asking for 128,000 taels, these people are really rich!

"Are these people so rich?" Mu Qing couldn't help but ask Dong Shu'er.

Dong Shu'er pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Look around, most of them are poor, and those who are rich are a small part!" ”

Mu Qing saw that most of the people were wearing white-washed coarse cloth clothes, and the people who were asking for the price just now were dressed in brocade clothes.

Dong Shuer naturally can't rob those people, her private money is limited, even if her family supports it a little, it is impossible to spend more than 100,000 taels to buy a painting.

"Except for me, no one in my family likes Mr. Lin'an, and they definitely won't give me so much money to squander."

Dong Shu'er glanced at Mu Qing with resentment, "You are still blessed, you are rich now." ”

Before, Mu Qing wanted to return the dowry of Wan Lianyu, and it was carried all the way back to the Zhongzhou Palace.

The dowry is not to mention others, I am afraid that even the dowry of the princess of the heavenly family cannot be compared.

Mu Qing didn't know how to explain that she was really poor, although she looked very rich, but there were many places to spend money!

"Let's go, let's go to the bookstore to have a look, Mr. Lin'an's paintings can't afford it, look at the others!" Dong Shuer pulled Mu Qing into the bookstore.

At this time, the bookstore is lively, and there are many scholars in the hundreds~ten thousand\ small! said that the two of them were a little out of place when they went in.

The two of them went through the bookstore, and Mu Qing was quite emotional.

She misses the big bookstores in her previous life, those bookstores are really big, and you can definitely find the books you want.

"This paper looks good!" Mu Qing fell in love with the flower note placed in a conspicuous place at a glance.

When the shopkeeper next to him saw it, he immediately laughed: "Madame, you have a good eye, this is Cizhou's flower note, five taels of silver and a knife." ”

"How much?" Mu Qing raised his voice and looked at the shopkeeper in disbelief.

Mu Qing's voice attracted a lot of attention, and the shopkeeper's face did not change, and he replied with a smile, "Five taels of silver and a knife." ”

Mu Qing took a deep breath, put down the flower paper in his hand, and picked up the rice paper that looked good next to him: "What about this?" ”

"This one is cheaper, four taels of silver a knife."

Mu Qing silently put it down again, and instead picked up the thin straw paper with impurities next to him: "What about this?" ”

"This twenty dollars a knife." The shopkeeper said that he was afraid that Mu Qing would ask again, so he simply picked up the straw paper next to him.

"This is the cheapest straw paper on the market, fifteen dollars a knife."

Mu Qingyu, she finally knew why it was so difficult for the ancients to read, not to mention anything else, this paper is really expensive!

At the beginning, because of the opening of a hot pot restaurant, Mu Qing also learned that the pork in the market was almost ten dollars a catty.

Ordinary people, every year to save energy and eat meat, it is a very good family!

As a result, the cheapest piece of paper actually costs fifteen yuan, is it fast for a reader to use paper?

Fast of course! Words are like people, and if you don't practice words well, you are embarrassed to say that you are a reader.

Mu Qing thought that she usually used paper, and threw it away if she made a mistake, and wrote a new one, I didn't think it before, but now I think it's really extravagant, the paper used in Zhongzhou Wangfu is the best rice paper!

"Qing'er, what are you thinking? Why can't you give up? Dong Shu'er stretched out her hand and waved in front of Mu Qing.

Mu Qing came back to his senses and found that they were already in the carriage.

"Shu'er, what kind of paper do you usually use?" Mu Qing tilted his head and asked Dong Shu'er.

"If you practice calligraphy on weekdays, you will use rice paper, and if you write letters to your elders, you will use flower paper."

Dong Shuer is obviously a very particular person.

Mu Qing touched his chin and didn't speak, and when he returned to the palace, he rushed to Bailichen's study.

Bai Lichen was writing a letter, and when he saw her rampage, he couldn't cry or laugh: "Why is it so hot?" ”

Mu Qing couldn't care so much, picked up his teacup and drank it all, gasped for two breaths before saying, "I have thought of a way!" ”

"What's the solution?" Bai Lichen listened to Mu Qing while writing a letter, "Speak slowly, I'll listen." ”

"I'm going to make paper!" Mu Qing crossed his waist and announced.

Bai Lichen: "......"

Why is this trip stupid?

Mu Qing couldn't help but pout when he saw him like this: "What's wrong?" Isn't it good? ”

"Papermaking is not about making it." Bai Lichen stopped his pen and wondered whether to tell Mu Qing about the difficulty of papermaking.

Mu Qing nodded: "I know." ”

Bai Lichen sighed, forget it, let's build it, anyway, there is no shortage of this money.

"I can make paper!" Mu Qing wanted to emphasize it, but found that Bai Lichen didn't believe it at all, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, "Okay, I don't know how to." ”

She learned about papermaking from history books, and the history teacher used to talk about it, and then she went to experience it once, yes, just once!

Seriously, Mu Qing is a little empty.

Bai Lichen sighed and hugged her in his arms:

"Why don't you try it first? Who knows if you haven't tried it? What if it does happen? ”

The last sentence is said that Bailichen himself doesn't believe it, papermaking is also a secret, who will take out the ability to make money to tell you?

Mu Qing didn't know Bai Lichen's thoughts, but he agreed with Bai Lichen's proposal:

"That's right! Anyway, didn't my mother marry the bookstore? You can also ask your grandfather for help, and ......"

Bai Lichen listened to Mu Qing's nagging for a long time, and seeing that it was almost dark, he asked people to call Lao Chen.

As soon as Lao Chen heard that Mu Qing wanted to make paper, his face changed several times, and finally persuaded:

"Niangniang, we don't know how to make paper, and there is no one in the evening family, and those paper-making are confidential."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, choose a few smart people to come over, I'll teach them, and they will always learn! Mu Qing didn't take this question to heart at all.

The corners of Lao Chen's mouth twitched, he felt that his master had missed the point at all!

"Do you want to tell my grandfather?"

Mu Qing thought about it for a while, after all, the Wan family has cultivated so many people, it should be much more powerful than her finding two people at random.

"Forget it, don't look for someone, I'll go to the evening house."

"Come back!" Bai Lichen shouted.
