Mu Qing didn't seem to hear the words of the Jade Princess, and asked stubbornly, "What's the matter?" ”

The air was quiet again, and the Jade Princess was crying and didn't speak, and Bai Lihong didn't know what he was thinking.

Mu Qing wanted to go forward and ask for clarification, but as soon as he took two steps, he felt that the whole person was a little empty, and he shook after taking two steps, so he could only go back and stand against the door again.

"Why are you standing here?"

Bai Lichen didn't know when he came over, gave the food box in his hand to Xia Sheng, and looked at Bai Lihong and Princess Jade,

"Let's go eat, and keep a wake for the imperial grandmother."

The jade princess saluted happily and left, and Bailihong was stunned for a while and left.

"Shall you go get something to eat?" Bai Lichen's eyes were red.

Mu Qing opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "I don't have any strength in my body." ”

Probably because I knelt for a long time, fell asleep again, and didn't eat for a long time.

Bai Lichen picked her up horizontally and went into the house and put her on the soft couch.

Xia Sheng put the things in order, Mu Qing stirred it twice with a spoon, and mentioned it as if unintentionally: "The Queen Mother ...... Mother"

Before Mu Qing could ask, Bai Lichen replied first: "The imperial grandmother committed suicide." ”

"Smack!" The spoon in Mu Qing's hand fell into the bowl and made a crisp sound, "How could it be ......?"

Bai Lichen refused to say more, and rubbed the top of his head: "Let's eat first." ”

Mu Qing couldn't eat at this time, so he didn't eat two bites casually, and followed Bai Lichen to continue to guard the spirit.

Mu Qing glanced at it and saw Bai Lihong kneeling quietly, and the Jade Princess was also kneeling with tears in her eyes

"I'll go see the Jade Princess." Mu Qing dropped these words and ran to kneel next to the Jade Princess, comforting her softly.

Bai Lichen won't tell her for a while, and the Jade Princess still has some hope here.

The jade princess cried for a while and stopped crying, kneeling in a daze, not knowing what to think, Mu Qing was also in a daze, thinking about why the queen mother committed suicide.

"Third sister-in-law......" Princess Yu finished in a daze, and began to cry again against Mu Qing.

Mu Qing patted her on the back, afraid that she would say something, so he hurriedly whispered to her: "There are a lot of people here, don't talk." ”

At present, it seems that there are not many people who know that the Queen Mother committed suicide, and if Princess Jade says something that she shouldn't say later, the two of them probably don't know how she died.

The jade princess swallowed the words in her mouth, and then she realized that this was a mourning hall, and there were many people.

When it was time to eat in the evening, I specially asked the Jade Princess what was going on, but the Jade Princess asked Mu Qing instead:

"Didn't the third brother tell you?"

Mu Qing shook his head honestly, Bai Lichen told her, and she didn't have to run to ask Princess Jade.

The jade princess took a bite of green vegetables and said in a low voice: "Then you go and ask the third brother, I don't want to say." ”

Mu Qing: "......"

When did this little girl learn to keep her mouth shut?

Mu Qing didn't plan to ask, and kept the spirit quietly.

Of course, the funeral of the queen mother was grand and complicated, and after the forty-nine years of the funeral, the emperor personally supported the coffin and buried it, and then they went back to keep filial piety.

Mu Qing was tired for so long, returned to the palace and lay down to rest for two days, and got busy non-stop.

It's already winter at this time, and her paper has been made, and it takes more than a month to make a lot.

Lao Chen was overjoyed and wanted to sell it, but the masters were all in the palace and didn't speak, so they were all piled up.

Mu Qing took Bai Lichen to take a look, and the straw paper was not as good as the worst kind on the market at the beginning, and it couldn't be used at all.

But then they improved it themselves, and it was much better than the fifteen-penny paper on the market.

Compared to it, it is thicker and has fewer impurities, according to Lao Chen's estimate, it is no problem to pay 20 yuan a knife.

What makes Mu Qing happy is that the quality of rice paper is not as good as Shenhe paper, but it is better than the paper from the Wen family.

The fineness is better, the paper is thicker, and there are very few impurities.

Lao Chen's face turned into a smile at this moment: "...... This rice paper sells for six taels of silver, and it is not a problem to cut it down! ”

Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and she watched the paper in the room instantly turn into gold and rush towards her.

"Really?" Mu Qing was a little surprised, she hadn't thought she could sell it at such a good price when she was making paper.

Lao Chen hurriedly nodded.

Bai Lichen also thinks that Lao Chen's price is very good:

"This paper is really good, but it is slightly inferior to Shenhe paper, but the output of Shenhe paper is not much in a year.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be just for the royal family, but your rice paper is different, and this yield is considerable. ”

The Shenhe paper is the best for the royal family to use, and the unqualified ones will not flow out, and most of them are destroyed.

It can't be said that they can't produce enough, it can only be said that ...... Rich and capricious!

Mu Qing touched his chin and didn't speak, according to Lao Chen, these workers can make about 300 to 500 pieces of straw paper a day, and there is more straw paper, which is a lot of money......

Bai Lichen looked at the rice paper in his hand, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her head, his little princess really gave him a big surprise.

Mu Qing put down the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "How has the No. 1 bookstore been lately?" ”

Speaking of this, Lao Chen sighed: "Our bookstore has been losing money now, there is no paper, but their No. 1 bookstore has been doing good business recently, and I am afraid it has made a lot of money." ”

"Dare to bully us!" Mu Qing slapped the table and said angrily, "They must regret it!" ”

Lao Chen thought so: "Yes! That's right! ”

Bai Lichen coughed twice and reminded Mu Qing: "Calm down and take your time." ”

Mu Qing nodded, and instructed Lao Chen: "Put these papers in a few gift boxes and send them to the Dong family, and then send one to the Jade Princess's mansion, as well as the ...... of the evening family."

When Mu Qing finished his order, he was about to pull Bai Lichen away, and Lao Chen hurriedly chased after him: "Niangniang, this paper is not for sale?" ”

"Sell!" Mu Qing patted his head, almost forgot about it, and hurriedly said a few words in Lao Chen's ear.

"No way!" Lao Chen was the first to object, "It's too cheap!" ”

"And how much do you say?" Mu Qing looked at Lao Chen innocently.

Lao Chen gritted his teeth: "At least fifteen wen!" ”

"It's too expensive!" Mu Qing turned his head and pulled Bai Lichen to discuss, "How much do you say is appropriate?" ”

"Shiwen?" Bai Lichen's voice lowered and he smiled, "If it's too cheap, you'll lose money." ”

"But when I first made straw paper, I wanted to make paper so that those poor students could use it, so that they would not have to save money just to buy some paper."

Mu Qing still remembered his original intention, and frowned in confusion at this moment,

"If it's too expensive, it's definitely not good, and I plan to let the people who were hit by the flood last time also make paper, which can be regarded as giving them a way to live."

Mu Qing can donate something to get them through this winter, but what can they do next spring?

The house collapsed, the field was destroyed by the flood, and if they wanted to farm, they had to raise the land for a few years, and they were farmers, and they didn't know how to do anything.

The smile in Bai Lichen's eyes flashed, and his voice was a lot softer: "You're right, then drop a little more?" Bawen? ”

"It's about the same price!" Mu Qing turned his head and said to Lao Chen, "Eight texts on straw paper, rice paper...... Four taels of silver and a knife! ”

Xuan paper Muqing is reluctant to sell cheaply, but it can't be sold too expensive, how can it make the No. 1 bookstore deserted if it is too expensive?

Lao Chen almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't believe it: "Bawen? Four taels? ”

I used to think that their little master was a loser, but now it seems that they are really losers, not ordinary losers, so cheap!

"Yes, that's it! Go ahead! Mu Qing waved his hand and walked away hand in hand with Bai Lichen.

Lao Chen shook for a moment and helped the subordinate next to him: "Hurry up and help me sit down!" ”

He's afraid he'll faint here later! With such a cheap price, he really wants to hit the wall!

No matter how Lao Chen objected, the next day, the Wise Bookstore and the bookstore under Mu Qing's name hung up signs, with a knife for eight pieces of straw paper and a knife for four taels of silver on rice paper.

Not many people pay attention to the bookstore under Mu Qing's name, a piece of papyrus with eight words and a knife? Sorry, they don't believe it!

It was the Wise Bookstore that was the first to "catch fire", Lu An is usually gentle, and he always looks like a smile.

He seems to be approachable, so there are many people talking to him, and after seeing the sign, some scholars come to him and ask him if it is true.

Lu An pointed to the straw paper next to him: "The paper is here, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, I can't run away with the money!" ”

The scholar counted out the suspicious eight cents to Lu An, and Lu An took a knife of paper to the scholar.

The scholar looked at the paper in his hand and stared at it directly, the color of this paper is so good?

Only eight words? Did he actually buy it?

"Huh?" The scholar screamed, attracting many onlookers.

"Is the paper real?" The scholar hugged the paper, a little excited, "I'm going back to get a sack to buy!" ”

Lu An: "......" as for it?

"Really? Is it true? I saw it today and thought it was written wrong! Hurry up and give me a knife, no, no, no, ten dollars! ”

"I just saw that the color of that paper is very good, it's better than the color of the paper in No. 1 Bookstore, it's only eight words, my God, I'm going back to call my cousin to buy them too!"

"Such cheap paper, give me ten dollars!"

Lu An was squeezed dizzy, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "Line up!" All in line! No queue, no sale! ”

Mu Qing specially instructed this time that there should be no chaos like last time, and they must be allowed to line up.

As soon as Lu An's words came out, everyone hurriedly lined up, they still wanted to buy paper, of course they had to listen to others.

In more than a month, a lot of paper was made and there was a lot of inventory, but it was sold out in one day.

Mu Qing thought that it would definitely be a big hit, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.

Looking at the number on the ledger, Mu Qingzhen was in a good mood.

Lu An was busy for a day and hung up the sold-out sign.

"Come back tomorrow, I'm out today!"

Dropping these words, Lu An hurriedly ran to the opposite restaurant to find Mu Qing, just in time to see Mu Qing holding the account book and smiling, Bai Lichen laughed helplessly next to him.

"Mother, this paper is sold out today." Lu An also didn't expect the business to be so good, and he was still stunned at this time.

"I know." Mu Qing was in a good mood at this time, and said directly, "By the way, you can sell as much as you can during this time." ”

Lu Angang wanted to say if he wanted to limit it, but Mu Qing made a preemptive strike.

"Why mother?" Lu An humbly asked.

Mu Qing flipped through the account book and said with a smile: "I'm going to announce the recipe for this straw paper after a while, and everyone can do it then!" It's not so profitable! ”
