Chapter 441: Shang Ruonan entered Beijing again
Shang Ruonan followed Shang Xianglan into this courtyard, and as soon as he came in, he smelled the thick fragrance of ink. Look at some books everywhere, because they are printed, some of the ink has not dried yet, so you can only dry it slowly, but even so. It's also much faster than copying a book.
Shang Xianglan took Shang Ruonan to the side house in this courtyard. Opening the door, Shang Ruonan was stunned. made the first book, Shang Ruonan participated, but the second sister has always been in charge, and now when I see this room full of books. Shang Xianglan said proudly:
"There are more than 38,000 books in total, and if you count the ones that are drying outside and those that are still being bound in the room over there, there are almost 40,000 books. You see, this is according to what you said, these two layers are enlightenment books, and here are some good texts by those students, which were copied by Murong's brother-in-law for me. Here's some good articles written by everyone in previous years, and I've sorted them out. Here's some of the stories you told, and I sorted them out and printed them. β
Shang Ruonan opened them one by one, and finally saw the appearance of the book. In the past, it was all copied, and the words were not written well, and they were crooked, which completely affected the interest of readers, and most people in order to practice calligraphy, that is, to copy books, how much paper, ink and time were wasted, and it was better to learn more books if there was time.
Shang Ruonan nodded and said excitedly:
"Second sister, it's really good. When I turn around, I will go to the capital, and we will find a storefront and open a bookstore. In the future, whatever book the second sister wants to write, we will print it. β
But Shang Xianglan shook her head and said:
"Little Si'er, my sister doesn't dare to tell her father and mother about something, but she wants to talk to you."
"What's the matter, second sister, please tell me."
"I want to go to school, and the more I do these things, the more I realize that I don't know too much, and I think you know more than I know every day!"
"Reading? How to read? β
"Mingyuan! I want to go to Mingyuan to study. That's where the most people read in our dynasty. β
Go to the Ming Yuan? It's a bit impossible to think about it, there are some old masters who talk about etiquette. How could it be possible to let the second sister go to school?
Shang Ruonan thought for a while and said:
"Okay, I'll go and see first, I'm going to the capital in two days, I'll go and ask to see the head of the Ming Courtyard."
The mountain chief of the Ming Yuan is the mother of Mrs. Kou's Xu. I asked to see the mountain chief, I am afraid that I will have to go through Murong Qing.
I don't want to deal with Xu.
Shang Ruonan made a decision in his heart. Let Shang Xianglan pick out a copy of each type of book on this shelf. Then it was brought back to the merchant. That night, Shang Ruonan read these books carefully, discussed with the second sister, and made some annotations on these books.
The next day, I asked Mo Xiang to get another set of books. Then Shang Ruonan set off for the capital on the third day.
With vegetables and custom-made clothes, Shang Ruonan's reputation in the capital is very loud.
Therefore, as soon as Shang Ruonan arrived in the capital, he received several posts in less than two hours. The first to arrive was a post sent by the county lord. Please go to the Three Princes' Mansion when you are free, because of pregnancy, the county lord does not dare to go out at will.
The second post was sent by Mrs. Su Yuan, and she also asked Shang Ruonan to arrange a time to meet Shang Ruonan.
The third one was sent by Lei Shangshu's long entourage, using Lei Shangshu's post. This shows that Lei Shangshu looks up to her very much.
The fourth one was sent by Feng Xianghui, saying that she was asking her to participate in a few poetry club activities held by her girlfriends tomorrow afternoon.
Of course, the first to receive Shang Ruonan was Murong Qing, and when Shang Ruonan had not yet entered the city, Murong Qing got the news, and came to the merchant's courtyard early to wait.
Therefore, Murong Qing was also a little jealous when he saw these posts:
"Miss Shang Si is very powerful now, it seems that so many people are paying attention to your whereabouts."
Shang Ruonan said with a smile while holding hot tea and drinking: Bibi e-book
"How? Am I very capable? Does Murong Hou Ye feel that he is very discerning? β
Murong Qing grabbed this little naughty fiancΓ©e and said with a smile:
"That's why I'm going to strike first, otherwise, I don't know how much I regret it now!"
Shang Ruonan's face blushed slightly, and he struggled to stand down on the ground and said:
"I came to Beijing to do a big thing, I told you about it last time, but at that time you said that it was not time, and now I think I can do it."
"You mean?"
Shang Ruonan pointed to the box on the side and said:
"You open it and take a look. This is a book that my second sister and I made. β
I always knew that Shang Ruonan was going to get a book, but I didn't understand how he did it. Opening the box, Murong Qing opened a copy and said in surprise:
"Good! Such a book, clear and straightforward! Neat and breakable. Good! β
Shang Ruonan smiled:
"I really don't take credit for this. It's my second sister's credit. I just mentioned that the second sister has been doing this for nearly a year. I really let her do it. β
"I've printed tens of thousands of copies of this book now. So, I'm ready to open a bookstore. β
"Originally, I wanted to hand it over to the second sister, but the second sister said that she had a wish that was not fulfilled, and she wanted to go to Mingyuan to study."
Speaking of going to the Ming Academy to study, Murong Qing frowned a little and said:
"How is this possible? It was full of men. And the mountain chief is originally a person who keeps manners, so..."
Shang Ruonan said:
"Can you introduce me to the mountain chief, I want to meet the mountain chief. By the way, I'm going to meet Su Yuan's wife tonight. β
"Wait a minute, I'm going to Lei's house, I don't know what Shangshu is looking for me. I'll take a look. β
"You've become a busy man, and your mother doesn't know you've arrived, and if she does, she won't ask you to go to dinner."
Murong Qing looked at Shang Ruonan dotingly, and seeing Shang Ruonan's appearance was what fascinated him the most, this girl was full of fighting spirit. When you do it, it's the most beautiful.
Murong Qing accompanied Shang Ruonan to dinner. Then he also followed Shang Ruonan out of the door. It's just that Shang Ruonan went directly to the Lei family.
When Shang Ruonan arrived at the Lei family, he was directly led to the Lei family's study. Lord Lei Shangshu was sitting in the study, and there was an old man who was also there, but Shang Ruonan didn't recognize it.
stepped forward to give Lord Lei a very good salute. Lei Shangshu stood up and said:
"Fourth Miss, this is Lord Hubu Shangshuyu."
Shang Ruonan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this gray-haired old man was the Shangshu of the household department. Hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:
"The people's female businessman Ruonan has seen Master Yu."
Lord Yu didn't get up, but he also stretched out his hand and said:
"Miss Shang doesn't need to be polite, I'm here today to thank Miss Shang with Master Lei."
