Chapter 693: Your Second Uncle of the Chai Family
At this time, silence is better than sound, and the two have a heart, looking at each other and laughing.
Xiao Nuan invited, "Is the eldest brother interested in opening a workshop with Xiao Nuan in the mountains and forests?" ”
According to the laws of the Great Zhou, the owner of the fief made a living in his fief and did not need to pay taxes, which saved a lot of expenses. With Xiao Nuan's cleverness and Zhao Shuyan's experience, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.
"The foolish brother can't ask for it." Zhao Shuyan asked with a smile, "What kind of elegant business does my sister want to do?" ”
Sure enough, they are friends on the road, and it is easy to talk about cooperation. Xiao Nuan replied, "I don't know much about this, and I haven't had time to find someone to visit." I wanted to see which one was easy to do first, and it could be done on our hillside. ”
"If you talk about elegance, it must be piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, paper, ink, pen and inkstone. Qinqi, calligraphy and painting aside, the inkstone in the last four treasures can be excluded, Qingzhou red silk stone is the first in the world, it is not easy for us to do, and the remaining three are focused on craftsmen. However, paper production requires wood, and the trees on the southern slopes will not take more than a few years, which is deforestation, which is really not cost-effective. In this way, there are only two things left to do: ink and pen. Zhao Shuyan talked eloquently.
Xiao Nuan is a layman in this regard, but she also understands that Zhao Shuyan is right. Papermaking pollutes the environment and damages forests, and the gains outweigh the losses; The inkstone has to see if the stones in her fiefdom are useless. According to Xiao Nuan's observation in the past two years, the white stone in her fiefdom is not as good as the red silk stone in Qingzhou next door, and the inkstone may not be sold at a price. If so, it's better not to do it.
"Let's first find craftsmen to survey the terrain and build houses according to the mountain, or for study houses, or for houses and workshops. There is a signboard written by the saint himself, and the Wuchang Study House has long been famous, and with Mr. Yunqing in charge, it is not difficult to invite a few more knowledgeable gentlemen. After the study house was built, our workshop immediately followed, and the restaurant inn was opened together, and it was very popular, and it was easy to say anything. Zhao Shuyan said, the plan has gradually taken shape.
Xiao Nuan continued, "You don't need to find a craftsman to build a house, you can use the craftsman who built the sixth village for the third master." But all the books given by the saints, we write 'Imperial Gift' on the title page, and then stamp the special seal of the Fifth Watch Study. After the book house is built, we will pick an auspicious day to hold several book donation meetings, and the donor can write his name on the title page of the book and then stamp our special seal, these books and the holy book are placed in one place, Ya said, 'the world is the same house'. Not surprisingly, this book donation will attract Dengzhou officials, writers and gentry to donate books, we can save a sum of expenses, of course, let's ask celebrities to write a building endowment, and thank the saint and these people together, so that they can follow the saint together with the celebrities through the ages...... Also, my dad has a surplus from selling books, which can also be used to buy books......"
Zhao Shuyan raised his eyebrows, this girl is becoming more and more shrewd, he is really ashamed of himself, ashamed of himself.
"Then, after our ink and pen are made, as long as it is really good, we will send some to the saint, the queen mother, the queen, the king of Yi, the third master and others. Xiao Nuan got a few 'good' from them, and our reputation will be there, and we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Xiao Nuan's little abacus crackled, Emperor Jianlong asked her to pay money to repair the study house to help him make a good name, and he asked him to carry a few plaques and reward a few names.
Zhao Shuyan laughed, "Wonderful, wonderful!" After the foolish brother returned, he immediately sent people to survey the mountains and forests, and visited the craftsmen who made pen and ink, and before the winter of this year, the study house and the house will be built, and the workshop will be opened. Xiao Nuan, if this is done, your mountains and forests will become a vibrant city. ”
"Therefore, we have to plan well from the beginning, and we can't build it randomly. You don't need to find someone else to survey the mountains and forests, my seventh senior brother can. Big brother, if this mountain forest and study house are built, we will definitely have a lot of money. "That's her territory, hers! Xiao Nuan felt passionate when she thought about it.
The two were chatting enthusiastically, but Huang Zihou came, "Girl, Mr. Chen asks to see you." ”
Zhao Shuyan stood up, "This is here in advance, you go to meet your father first, and the foolish brother walks around." ”
Xiao Nuan followed Zhao Shuyan to the outside of the hospital, and saw Xiaocao and Rhubarb surrounding her father Chen Zumo, looking at the little baby he was holding in his arms.
Chen Zumo and Chai Yuyuan's daughter Chen Xiaomian has been more than six months, and time flies so fast. The last time Xiao Nuan saw this little girl, she was just a full moon.
Xiao Nuan also went over to watch. Because her parents are not ugly, Chen Xiaomian is naturally not ugly. With a goose egg face, big black grape-like eyes, and a good-looking little nose and mouth, she is dancing and giggling at the rhubarb at this time, which is really annoying.
However, seeing the silhouette of her mother standing alone in the field pretending to be fine, Xiao Nuan felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Zhao Shuyan knew what Xiao Nuan was thinking, so after he saluted Chen Zumo, he went to find the Qin family and talk to her. Xiaocao took Xiaomian's hand again, and also ran to her mother's side to chatter.
By Chen Zumo's side, only rhubarb and rabbit Ah Bao remained. Rhubarb stared at Chen Zumo solemnly, ready for Xiao Nuan's order, and it would immediately drive Chen Zumo out of its territory.
Chen Zumo saw that Xiaocao was gone, and Xiao Nuan's eyes were not hot when he looked at Xiaomian, so he felt bored, and turned around and handed Xiaomian back to the nurse.
Xiao Nuan asked, "The housekeeper said, are you looking for me?" ”
Chamberlain? Chen Zumo frowned and glanced at Huang Zihou next to him, and persuaded softly, "If you are short of people, there are people around you who are faithful and available, why do you want people from Qin Rizhan's side?" Qin Rizhan is cunning and slavery, how can the people around him be your housekeeper. ”
Huang Zihou bowed his head silently, he was looking forward to what Chen Zumo would be when he knew that Qin Rizhan was his girl.
Xiao Nuan smiled, "It's because the slave follows the master, so Xiao Nuan will use the people around Qin Dong's family." ”
"Click"!
The green tendons on Chen Zumo's forehead popped out, but after the mountain chief tea house was reprimanded by the saint, Chen Zumo had sworn never to provoke this dead girl in the future. So no matter how provocative she is, she has to endure it.
So, he endures!
Chen Zumo forced a smile and went directly to the topic, "For my father, I am here to bring your third sister over and let your sisters get along more, so as not to get separated; The second is to ask what you plan to do on the day your second uncle gets married. ”
Xiao Nuan also said slowly, "My Chen Xiaonuan's second uncle has already married, and he has two sons. ”
Is this mockery that he has no sons? Can he blame him for not having a son! Chen Zumo held back his anger and explained, "Your second uncle of the Chai family. ”
Chai Yuyuan is Xiao Nuan's stepmother, and Xiao Nuan should indeed call Chai Zhisui an uncle in terms of seniority. Xiao Nuan didn't argue, and continued to ask slowly, "What do you want Xiao Nuan to do?" ”
"If you are free the day after tomorrow, you will take Xiaocao to the wedding banquet for your father?" Chen Zumo said lightly, but in fact, his heart was raised. Xiao Nuan didn't speak, and Chen Zumo didn't dare to breathe.
Now that Xiao Nuan has become the county lord, her identity is even more extraordinary. If she is willing to go to Chai's house with her, it will be great. Retreat to the second, if this dead girl doesn't go, he will also find a way to pull the grass away. Let the people in the capital know that the relationship between him Chen Zumo and his two daughters is not as blunt as rumored.
"Okay." Xiao Nuan responded slowly, "On the day of the Chai family's marriage, Xiao Nuan personally came to congratulate her. ”
How could this girl agree so easily? Chen Zumo was shocked and then suspicious, she wouldn't be holding back any ghost ideas, right?
