"Little master, I didn't see the face of the virtuous concubine when I went to say hello to the virtuous concubine today." Yue'er poured a glass of water for Ouyang Tong and said seriously. Ouyang Tong nodded: "Concubine Xian has just given birth, so naturally she won't see people easily." Yue'er looked at Ouyang Tong as if she was waiting for someone: "Who is the little master waiting for?" Ouyang Tong nodded: "I'm waiting for Concubine De." Yue'er was curious: "Concubine De was at Concubine Xian just now, but she didn't even look at the little master, why does the little master think that Concubine De will come?" Ouyang Tong smiled: "Concubine De doesn't want to appear too close to me, because she is afraid that other people in the palace will target me." She is a concubine, and those who hate her naturally don't dare to do anything to her, but I'm just a nobleman, and those people will spill their anger on me. Yue'er nodded: "Yes, Concubine De thought carefully." ”

After a while, a sedan chair stopped at the door. "Concubine De is here, you accompany me out to greet her." Ouyang Tong said happily. Yue'er helped Ouyang Tong to the door, and Concubine De got down from the sedan chair and looked at Ouyang Tong with a rare smile. "Sister, you're pregnant, so don't make such a big gift." Concubine De helped Ouyang Tong and walked inside. Ouyang Tong said with a smile: "The ceremony cannot be wasted. "Today, I have to bother my sister to accompany me in that study for half a day." Ouyang Tong said with a smile. Concubine De smiled: "What you said, even if you don't invite me to go, I have a cheeky face to go, but I didn't sleep all night last night, just thinking about the ancient books that I haven't finished reading." Ouyang Tong covered his mouth and snickered: "I don't know, I think I have some rare treasures hidden here, which makes my sister worry about it day and night." ”

Concubine De nodded: "Aren't those ancient books rare treasures to me?" In this way, Ouyang Tong and Concubine De walked into the study with a smile and began to read seriously. During this time, both of them were quietly reading books, and they could even hear each other's breathing. When it was time for lunch, Yue'er came to call the two of them. "Little master, Concubine De, lunch has been prepared." Yue'er whispered. "Sister, let's go eat first, and come back in the afternoon." Ouyang Tong reminded Concubine De in a low voice. Concubine De put down the book and pen and nodded: "Good books have to be read slowly, let's go to dinner first." Concubine De helped Ouyang Tong to the dinner table, Ouyang Tong ate a few bites, and then put down the chopsticks. What, are your meals not to your taste? Concubine De rarely eats such a dish, and she thinks it is very novel and delicious, but seeing Ouyang Tong, she doesn't seem to have any appetite.

Ouyang Tong shook his head and sighed: "There is something I want to discuss with my sister." Concubine De's expression paused, put down her chopsticks, and asked with interest, "I don't know if my sister has anything to discuss with me?" Concubine De snorted coldly in her heart at this moment, it has only been two days, has her true face been revealed? Ouyang Tong hesitated for a while: "Sister, I was thinking about this before, but I didn't dare to talk nonsense, I saw that you couldn't put down that ancient book yesterday, and I want to boldly bring it up today." Concubine De was a little confused about Ouyang Tong's intentions: "Oh? What is it? Ouyang Tong walked to the desk, found a drawing, and brought it to Concubine De. Look, sister, that's what I want to do. Ouyang Tong pointed to the drawings and said. Concubine De picked up the drawings and looked at them seriously. "This is? A bookstore? Concubine De couldn't believe it.

Ouyang Tong nodded: "Yes, this is the bookstore I thought." There are many sisters in the harem, and there are many who like to read, but there is no place and no books. You see, I have a lot of ancient books, and after a long time, they are also dusty. If something happens to me one day, these ancient books will be ignored. Ouyang Tong said this, a little sad. Concubine De frowned: "Sister Hugh is going to talk nonsense, you will live a long time." Ouyang Tong smiled and shook his head: "Sister, the world is impermanent, I just said just in case." "I plan to ask the queen to set up a academy in this harem, and I will donate all my ancient books for the sisters in the harem to enjoy." Ouyang Tong said seriously. Concubine De nodded thoughtfully: "You can think of this, you really have exhausted your thoughts." Ouyang Tong sighed: "It's a pity that the queen has misunderstood me, if I ask, the queen may not agree." ”

Concubine De sighed: "The queen is not a person who likes to read, and she won't know how much effort you put into it. Ouyang Tong sighed: "I don't know if it can be done, I just hope that my sister can help me say a few words when necessary." Concubine De nodded seriously: "Since my sister has spoken, I will definitely do my best." It's just..." Ouyang Tong was curious: "How?" Concubine De pointed to the drawings: "Your academy, the management needs to be increased." These ancient books of yours are all rare and unique books in the world, if some people are not right, the tanuki for the prince, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? Concubine De looked around, and then walked towards the desk, and Ouyang Tong also followed Concubine De to the desk. Concubine De picked up the pen and circled a place on the paper: "Here, it is the area dedicated to your ancient books, isolated separately, guarded by special personnel, we compile a catalog, write all the ancient books on it, it is best to set a price, if you want to borrow it, you need to spend some silver." ”

Ouyang Tong shook his head: "I didn't set up a academy to earn money. Concubine De shook her head: "It's not for you to earn money, it's for the academy, if this academy wants to spend palace expenses to maintain, the queen will not agree, if we can be self-sufficient, the queen will not stop it." Ouyang Tong nodded: "It's still my sister's thoughtfulness." Concubine De smiled: "Since you want to open this academy, I will definitely help you think about it in all aspects." Ouyang Tong nodded seriously: "If my sister is willing, can I ask my sister to manage this academy with me?" Concubine De was a little surprised: "This is my sister's academy, how can I touch my hands." Ouyang Tong smiled: "This is the academy of the harem, it is everyone's academy, not my academy alone." Concubine De nodded: "Since my sister is sincerely invited, I will definitely do my best for this academy." ”

Ouyang Tong said with a smile: "It seems that this afternoon, we can't read books." Concubine De nodded: "Since you want to do it, you naturally have to hurry up." Concubine De took out a blank piece of paper and thought about it carefully: "First of all, if you want to enter the academy to read, you must pass the exam questions we set. I also have a collection of books there, but they are not the only ones, and everyone can look through them and borrow them at will. Your ancient books, as I said earlier, are taken care of, borrowed at a cost, and returned on time, and if they are not returned, they must be counted with more silver. Ouyang Tong nodded: "My sister thinks much more carefully than me." "What do you think of some well-written concubines, who have copied ancient books and can sell them to us, and we can take them back and put them outside for everyone to borrow for free?" Concubine De asked seriously. Ouyang Tong nodded: "That's fine." ”

"We can set up some reading places in the academy, and it also costs money to book, quiet and elegant, just like the appearance of the Han Dynasty in your study, make a few private rooms, what do you think?" Concubine De rearranged the layout of the academy on another blank piece of paper. Ouyang Tong nodded: "This is very good, why don't we add a rule that those who enter the academy are not allowed to make loud noises." Concubine De smiled: "If you really come to read the book, you will be happy and quiet, and there will be no loud noise." However, just in case, I still have to write a clause. "In this way, I'll calculate how many people I need to manage the academy." Concubine De was calculating carefully.

"It's better to set up a few positions in this way, and the palace people in the palace can come to the academy to do chores according to their own time, and they can also earn some silver." Ouyang Tong suggested. Concubine De nodded: "It doesn't matter if anything else, even this person who takes care of ancient books must be a responsible person." Concubine De said seriously. If you are in charge of ancient books, you might as well take the exam and screen it. Ouyang Tong proposed. Concubine De nodded: "This is very good, the person who takes care of the ancient books must be the one who understands the value of these ancient books." Ouyang Tong nodded: "There is no shortage of talented people in the palace." ”
