Chapter 458: The idea of making bamboo and paper is shattered
Mu Chenyu sent her back here and said goodbye, Shangguan Juan wanted to invite him in for a cup of tea, but seeing that he had made up his mind, he had to give up.
Quietly returned to the room from the back door, changed into the men's clothes on her body and put them away, she walked to the study with a lot of concern, but as soon as she walked into the garden in front of the study, she saw Shangguan Rong squatting on the steps and didn't know what he was doing.
Shangguan Juan walked over suspiciously, only then did he see that he was helping him cut bamboo chips, and hurriedly ran over and hugged his arm, "Dad, why are you so free today to cut bamboo chips for your daughter." ”
"Daddy, didn't he see that the bamboo slips in your room were almost gone, so he simply had nothing to do today, so he came to prepare more for you."
Hearing this, Shangguan Juan's heart was full of emotion, and he watched Shangguan Rong familiarly get the bamboo slices right, and sweetly coquettish, "Dad, you are really good." ”
When Shangguan Rong heard this, he just smirked, the movements in his hands became faster and faster, and Shangguan Juan also picked up the tools from the side and began to cut the bamboo chips.
She didn't get a few pieces, and then she remembered that she could use bamboo chips to make paper at home, and she didn't necessarily need to rely on others.
As soon as this idea came up, Shangguan Juan couldn't wait for a moment, she put aside the bamboo chips that had not been cut in her hand, ran to the firewood room and took a slightly smaller machete, and began to chop all the bamboo.
Shangguan Rong was confused by her actions, but he had always respected his daughter's opinion, so he had to step aside and look at her quietly, trying to understand what she wanted to do.
It wasn't until she chopped all the bamboos and went to the kitchen to get some alkaline water that Shangguan Rong understood what her daughter wanted to do.
He hurriedly stopped, "Wanwan, don't you want to make paper?" If so, stop and don't do it again. ”
When Shangguan Juan heard this, he paused, stopped the work in his hand, frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Dad, do you know that I am making paper?" Why do you want your daughter to stop? ”
Shangguan Rong put all the chopped sons in place, with a trace of solemnity on his face, and said, "Not to mention how troublesome it is to use this bamboo to make paper, just take the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to make paper privately." ”
Seeing that his father's face was so serious, Shangguan Juan didn't make any more moves, helped him to sit on the stone chair in the garden, and then asked, "Isn't it possible for the people of Lingguo to make paper privately now?" ”
Shangguan Rong sighed slightly, "Although the Holy Lord has not stipulated that it is forbidden for the people to make paper privately, but the place where paper is made in every county is tacit, and it is all controlled by some local powerful families or a certain prince, and they will also monopolize all the paper supplies of the entire city's large and small academies. Take the capital as an example, Li's Book Store is the largest paper maker here, although he is just a boss, in fact, the people standing behind him are many powerful people in the capital, so he can be so powerful. ”
Listening to Shangguan Rong break through these darkness little by little, Shangguan Juan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if she really made paper at home privately, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble, and even became the bird who was frightened, no wonder Mu Chenyu reacted like that today.
Shangguan Juan figured this out, and she no longer bothered about making her own paper, she deeply believed that now as long as there is paper available, it is enough.
On the second day, she couldn't wait to change into men's clothes, and was ready to go to Mu Chenyu and ask him to speed up the solution to the problem of Li's bookstore. Reading nests
Obviously, she often walks the road on weekdays, but she feels weirdly that something is wrong today, and she can't help but speed up her pace, but when she walks to an empty alley, a few gangsters with sticks come out, and Shangguan's head is about to explode, should the sixth sense be so accurate?
Several people forced Shangguan Juan into the alley, and Zhao Licai walked out of them, with a perverted smile on his face, and said in a very poor tone, "This girl, I'm afraid I can't go to a private meeting with Mu Chenyu today, since he cares about you so much, then I will destroy you and give him a big gift." ”
Shangguan Wanxin only said that it was false not to panic, she couldn't beat them at all, so she could only pretend to be calm and said, "I hope you don't mess around, my entourage is behind, if they catch up later, they will definitely not be able to spare you." ”
Zhao Li laughed when he heard this, his face was full of disdain, and he said arrogantly, "There is no one in this capital who I Zhao Li is not moved, don't listen to her nonsense, go!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the few people with sticks were ready to step forward, Shangguan Wan closed his eyes tightly, and scolded in his heart: If you can't kill me today, I will definitely seek revenge from you.
"What are you doing?" A suave voice rang out from outside the alley.
When Shangguan Juan heard the voice, he hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see a man in white pushing those murderous thugs away, walking in front of her, and gently helping her up, "Little boy, are you okay?" ”
The thugs just thought it was really her entourage who had arrived, and they stopped moving, but the situation in front of them told them that the two did not know each other, and one of them threatened loudly, "It's none of your business here, get out of here, or I'll clean up with you later." ”
The white-clothed man's face turned cold when he heard this, and his tone was slightly cold, "I didn't know that there were such bullies in the capital city now, and this son is still in charge of this matter today." ”
When a few gangsters saw that he didn't leave, they had some difficulties on their faces, judging from their clothes, this must be the son of a rich and noble family, but if he was let go, he would not be able to get today's reward.
Zhao Li also saw their hesitation, a trace of fierceness flashed on his face, and he said decisively, "Call me both, and give me double wages." ”
Hearing this, the gangster who only recognized money but not people picked up the stick and began to move, seeing that the stick was about to fall on his body, Shangguan Juan's heart tightened, pushed the person in front of him away, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up." ”
Unexpectedly, the man grabbed her hand, took a stick stiffly, pushed away a gangster, pulled her up and ran, Shangguan Juan had to run with him.
But I didn't expect this person to really have a hand, and he ran away with himself, and he worked hard to get rid of those people, and the two leaned on a corner and gasped for breath, and waited for about half an hour, seeing that no one had caught up, Shangguan Juan breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
Then seeing that the boy in white was also embarrassed, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
The boy in white laughed heartily twice, and then he spoke, "This son, I don't know what to call it?" ”
Shangguan Juan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he didn't see through his identity, and he was happy in his heart, so he deliberately lowered his voice, "In Xia Yue Lian...... Liancheng, dare to ask the son's surname? ”
"Sheng Zijing."
