Chapter 71: Youzhou (27)
Cui Zhi didn't raise her eyes, and that day her sister-in-law said: "If it weren't for the family's money to study for the fourth child, we would have lived so poorly?" When it snowed, most of the house collapsed, and now seeing that the people in the village are buying looms, our old Zhan family can't even afford a deposit of three taels of silver! ”
Last night, after she told Zhan Xing all these things, Zhan Xing immediately handed over fifty taels of silver to her and asked her to take care of the house.
Zhan Xing has lived a good life and has become a big celebrity, if he doesn't care about the life or death of his wife and brothers, he can't say it.
Zhan Xing took out the silver ticket in his arms: "This is fifteen taels of silver, buy a cow for the family." The rest of the silver, everyone eats a few good meals, and it has worked hard for my brother and sister-in-law over the years. ”
Wow, the fourth child is really generous, not only gave the loom, but also bought cattle for the family. When they catch a calf in the spring, it will only cost six or seven taels of silver, and the rest of the silver will be theirs.
Zhan Xing sighed: "I don't know how long I can do this business. That's it for now! You buy some good things to eat first, don't let your body lose too much, and live a long time to have a good life! In the future, if I have a good life here, I will naturally miss my brother. ”
Last night, the shopkeeper of the restaurant came to the door in person, hoping to buy the book he wrote. What he knows is that people are looking at the fame of "Mr. Weiguo". So he plans to take advantage of this limelight to write more scripts. The shopkeeper left a deposit of fifty taels, for fear that he would not agree to write a notebook for them.
Lord Rong was generous, and immediately rewarded him with fifty taels of silver. He brought half of the New Year's gift from Lord Song and didn't spend any more money to buy it.
Although the momentum is getting better and better, it is better to save more money for your small family first. He shifted his gaze to Cuizhi at the other table, where his youngest son was eating rice cereal.
He wants to save money for his son's education in the future.
After eating, several nephews gathered around to hear the story.
Zhan Xing told the fourth edition of the second issue, because it was for children, just like it was told to the rough men in the barracks, and he tried his best to describe the story in simple language.
The opera Wang Zhi and other actors went to their deaths and burned many officers and soldiers. Wang Zhi's younger brother Wang Sheng generously joined the army and went to the battlefield with many men in Xiangzhu County.
Because the Zhou army was victorious and had already occupied half of their country, it was not easy to regain their homeland.
On this day, the Zhou army suddenly attacked Minxian, and Wang Sheng's army was resisting, in order to cover the people leaving the city. They automatically asked to stay and deal with the enemy,
Wang Sheng's face was embroidered with scales because of sweat and dust because he hadn't washed his face for a long time. The schoolbag next to him asked him: "Go wash your face and be refreshed." Wang Sheng replied: "Even the Zhou devil can't get out, where is the face!"
Later, the enemy broke through the barriers they had set up and attacked them directly. They were killed, wounded, and finally five people were left to lead the enemy to a mountain, and the enemy wanted to recruit them and let them lead the way to find the people hiding in the mountain. "The few remaining soldiers committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. The world calls them "the five heroes of Minxian County".
After the story was finished, several children began to cry.
Zhan Xing touched his little nephew's head: "Don't cry, your face is spent." ”
"Even the Zhou devil can't get out, where is the face!" The little nephew responded with the story he had just told while crying.
Zhan Xing couldn't cry or laugh, this baby was too deep in the play.
In the court, Zeng Ge Lao had something to play, and Youzhou's "Gewu Monthly" was pragmatic, hoping that the capital could also open similar publications.
However, it was vetoed by the emperor: "Gewu Monthly" has just been launched, and I think it is quite good. Let's let them do it first! If you want to contribute, Li Shangshu will ask people to put a few submission boxes at the door! ”
Your Majesty, this is a monthly magazine that supports the Lan family!
"I and the queen will read the manuscript, if you are interested, you can ask your family to contribute. I will send someone to Youzhou. However, there are too many manuscripts, and even if there is a suitable manuscript, it may have to be postponed for a few issues! The emperor's words shocked everyone's spirits!
Both the emperor and the queen will read the script? This is a great opportunity for the children and grandchildren of the family to show up!
In Fengxi Palace, the queen looked at the emperor in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, you asked everyone to contribute, there are too many manuscripts, how can you read it?" ”
The emperor didn't think so: "It's okay, I'll find someone to classify it, and send all of them over when the time comes." Let the Lan family worry! ”
The queen pursed her lips and smiled, no one dared to touch the Lan family this time. The Lan family wrote the queen dignified and virtuous in the color magazine "Reborn Revenge" in the color magazine, and repeatedly supported the heroine. She knew it, which made many palace maids in the palace look at her with admiration in their eyes. Especially Concubine Duan and Shu Guiren are courting themselves, don't think she doesn't know, they originally followed Concubine Yun to curry favor.
"The amount of tax paid shall be determined according to the number of acres of land. Those who have more land will receive more, those who have less land will receive less, and those who have no land will not accept it. "The emperor knocked on the table while carrying the contents of the monthly magazine.
He was originally not interested in the content of the color magazine, but the wind direction in the palace has changed, whether it is a eunuch or a palace maid, it seems that the relationship is much more harmonious, and even the concubines don't make trouble, oh, it's not a "palace fight". In the original words of the book "Revenge of Rebirth": "Be good to others, be good to yourself". And this method of "spreading into the acre" was written by the heroine to her brother and asked him to hand it to the nobles as a stepping stone. Zeng Ge Lao also told him if he wanted to try it.
This is a big deal, and it needs to be considered.
The heroine of "Reborn Revenge" has a good family background and can have the opportunity to meet the queen. She ran into Concubine Min and helped Concubine Min cough up the jujube pit in her throat, and became Concubine Min's life-saving benefactor.
Concubine Min saw that she was delicate and cute, but there was always a sense of anger between her eyebrows, so she told her experience in the palace for 50 years.
At that time, Concubine Min was not top-notch in appearance, her family background was average, and there were no other nobles who wanted to help, so she was not as happy in the palace. She herself is also very cheerful, so she tinkered with some facial fat and lipstick in the palace and played with other concubines. Later, the queen used these skin care products and thought it was very good, so she wanted to recommend her to sleep. As a result, the emperor still didn't care about her, and the queen couldn't do anything when she saw this.
When the emperor was in the sky and the queen collapsed, she became a concubine in peace.
"Look ugly and live a long time!" Concubine Min is a hearty person, smiling with folds on her face.
The queen saw that the emperor looked at the contents of the color magazine, and her face did not sink, and she was relieved.
"Your Majesty, do you want to give the Lan family some rewards?" The queen asked softly.
The emperor raised his eyes: "But the Lan family begged you?" ”
The queen lowered her head and smiled: "The emperor might as well give him a painting of ink treasure!" In this way, the Lan family can do a good job of the monthly magazine. ”
At present, the concubines of this harem are not competing for favor! He felt a lot quieter, and he didn't seem to be happy. All this is the trouble of the Lan family's monthly magazine.
The emperor changed the topic: "The lipstick and face fat above, have you found someone to try the recipe?" ”
After the words of this color magazine are written, the recipe for making lipstick and face grease is specially attached next to it, and it is written in great detail, for fear that others will not be able to learn it. This is a good thing with great profits, and the Lan family didn't use it to make money, nor did they use it to make offerings.
"Some recipes take some time to come to fruition." The queen felt sorry for these recipes in her heart, but the script wrote the queen so beautifully, and she didn't care about the Lan family anymore.
The emperor nodded: "Then give a plaque!" ”
The second issue of the monthly magazine also slowly spread in the capital. According to the information given by the secret agents, the people made tofu, sold dumplings, pickled radish, and made looms to weave cloth...... Maybe it's because I feel that life is rushing, and the people have more smiles.
Yayu walked up to Aunt Ma and asked, "Auntie, how much fat is there?" ”
Aunt Ma and Aunt Bai are very free except for weaving. The two of them made lipstick and face fat together, and Lu Yingfang bought it from them at a price lower than the market price, and then distributed it to the workers as a benefit.
She repeatedly ordered that these things should not be sold, nor could they be given to people outside. There's no way, I've read too many novels, and these things are the easiest to be used for. In case a noble lady has a rotten face and says that she wiped your things, how can you compensate? If you can't be suppressed, the emperor and the queen are too far away, and the far water will not be close to the fire.
Aunt Bai walked over and said earnestly: "Big girl, the old lady said that these can't be sent outside. "Yayu has taken away two sets of lipstick and face grease in the past few days, and now she is here to get it again, isn't it a gift? I heard that she got close to the little lady next door.
Yayu stretched her face: "Last time, Menglian embroidered a purse!" I'd like to take some in return. ”
Aunt Bai was also not polite: "Then you can sign and draw a pledge, and we will present it to the old lady when the time comes." ”
Yayu hesitated: "I'll just take a set, no need to sign!" ”
Aunt Ma also spoke: "Big girl, these wooden boxes and porcelain boxes containing lipstick and facial grease are all customized, and if there is one set missing, the old lady will investigate it." ”
Yayu's face darkened, and she left unwillingly.
"Don't get used to her, don't have a long memory." Aunt Bai said unceremoniously.
Aunt Ma breathed a sigh of relief and admired Aunt Bai's courage in her heart.
Lan Rongzhuan has always been in the store, and only Lan Rongzhuan can go around to busy business. On this day, a little lady who was about fourteen or fifteen years old was dressed very shabby, she was very delicate, and she looked at him with a pair of smart eyes: "Shopkeeper, are you still recruiting?" ”
Lan Rongzhuan has long been ordered to repeat it, and beautiful women are the most deceitful. Besides, he has seen a lot of beauties in the Hou Mansion, and he is not interested in such a little girl: "You go to the workshop opposite and ask!" It seems that we are not recruiting people lately. ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper, you're such a nice person." The little lady smiled sweetly.
Lan Rong was stunned, this little lady actually had four dimples when she laughed, which seemed particularly tempting.
The little lady asked worriedly, "I want to buy some paper and pens for my brother, can the shopkeeper introduce them to me?" ”
Lan Rong was just about to respond, and suddenly remembered one of the family mottos: the more beautiful the girl, the more she will deceive people.
But the other party is here to buy something, and it's not that the carriage is broken and needs help repairing it.
