Chapter 154: The Enemy's Money Must Be Earned

This time, everyone in the Dibao Mansion is very energetic, and they have their own gains.

Liu Yongxu said first: "After I entered the palace, I chatted with a palace maid, and the palace maid said that there was a concubine Xia in the harem, who was the most kind, and one day, regardless of her own safety, she went to the ice to save a little civet cat. This kind of thing is worth writing about and publicizing widely, so that the people in Beijing can also learn the noble sentiments of the concubine. ”

The Xia clan in his mouth must be Xia Lanyan. swept through Liu Yongxu's article, and used all the rhetoric to praise Xia Lanyan's beauty and kindness...... An Ge guessed that he probably collected the money.

But it's nothing, and Liu Yongxu's face still has to be given, An Ge said with a smile: "Lord Liu is the best at writing characters with this kind of trivial matter, and he writes this concubine Xia vividly." ”

Liu Yongxu is very useful in her heart: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Yuanyuan, you came over early in the morning and smiled from ear to ear, did you listen to something funny? ”

Yu Yuanyuan shook his head and said: "I'm happy because I have found the content of the next few issues, and it will save trouble in the future!" I also had a good conversation with a palace maid, and I learned several palace customs from her, so I wrote this. I'll write one custom in one issue, enough to write several issues! ”

An Ge read it carefully, nodded and smiled: "It's really good, there must be people outside the palace who are willing to watch this." Yuanyuan, did you ask what are the customs of celebrating the New Year in the palace? ”

Yu Yuanyuan nodded: "I asked." ”

"Then would you like to write about the customs of the new year first? The year is coming, and you wrote about the situation. This article about going out of the palace to see the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival is also really well written, and we can put it in the early stage of the Shangyuan Festival to use it again. ”

When Yu Yuanyuan heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "It makes sense!" I'll write it later. ”

Then there was Yi Yinfeng, she was lucky, although she got lost when she entered the palace, she happened to see Princess Mingheng reading poetry, and she also took the opportunity to talk to the palace maid beside her, and asked what the princess listened to on weekdays. She wrote this, so that people outside the palace could follow the princess's example.

An Ge also thought it was good after reading it, so he also praised it, and then went to Zhang Luoer.

Zhang Luo'er reluctantly took the article to An Ge, and smiled reluctantly: "Deputy Director An, look at it, I don't write well." ”

An Ge didn't speak, and read her article from beginning to end, it turned out that she went to the imperial dining room after entering the palace, and wrote an article about what dishes would be prepared in the imperial dining room in the winter palace.

An Ge said to her lightly: "On the whole, it looks good, but you have to remove this paragraph of writing about the goose paw, you write too bloody, and the people who read the harem report are all daughters' families, so it's not good to scare them." And the dish is too extravagant, and the impact is not good. ”

In the article written by Zhang Luoer, it is said that the method of burning goose paws is to put the live goose on the red-hot iron block and tell the goose to run, and when the goose is almost dead, then chop off the goose paw and add condiments to the dish. I don't know if the palace really did this, but when I wrote it like this, I looked at it and felt sorry for those geese.

And it is easy to scare others, so that outsiders can talk about the cruelty of the palace and the reputation of the imperial chef in the palace.

When An Ge first wrote "Beijing Daily", he was also prone to overwriting, and often heard people scolding "Beijing Daily" for being immoral, and then slowly figured out what could be written and what could not be written.

Zhang Luoer was not convinced by An Ge in her heart, and she didn't know what she was planning, so she looked at her coldly, and saw that she picked up Liang Zifeng's article again and planned to look at it.

Zhang Luo'er squeezed out a smile on his face and said:

"You're the deputy director, and you can be whatever you say. But if you give me advice, it's okay, Lord Liang and you are both deputy directors, or our seniors, you won't have to give me some advice, right? ”

"What I said to all of you is advice, if you want to listen to it, you can change it, if you don't want to listen to it, you can't change it, why bother talking sour things here?" An Ge glanced at her coldly, "The official of the court and the central government still has to give the emperor a concert and argue with the emperor, the emperor is the biggest in the world, according to what you say, because of the consideration of position everywhere, no one dares to give advice to the emperor?" Those courtiers were also wrong? ”

"I ......" Zhang Luo'er was so blocked that she couldn't speak, and only said after a while, "I don't mean that, Deputy Director An will always misinterpret the meaning of my words, and will always think of me in the worst......"

"Since you know that I will always think badly, then you shouldn't talk to me in the future except for a serious errand in the Di Bao Mansion, right?" An Ge sneered, only to feel that this person was annoyed to death.

Everyone else knew that they couldn't get along, so they spoke out to persuade each other, and An Ge didn't bother to pay attention to her, and looked at Liang Zifeng's article.

Liang Zifeng had a cold temperament, and did not take the initiative to communicate with the palace people, so he walked around the palace, and later wrote a "Yonggong Plum" to praise the beauty of the plum blossoms in the palace. Although it is not a story, his writing is excellent, and the article seems to be able to smell the fragrance of flowers around him.

These articles are all in line with the characteristics of the harem newspaper.

"I've also written two interesting things that you can take a look at and give me some advice, but I have a surprise in addition to this." As he spoke, An Ge took out the emperor's itinerary he had just gotten, spread it out and showed it to everyone, "This is given to me by a trustworthy palace person, let's attach this to the back of the palace newspaper." ”

The itinerary is written very specifically, not only the itinerary of the emperor's major activities, but also where to go under the usual court, with this, to ensure that the harem wants to please the emperor's concubines, and the emperor's whereabouts can be found.

But Liu Yongxu was worried after reading it: "Will revealing the emperor's whereabouts bring danger to the emperor?" If there is really anything wrong, then we will not have enough to cut off ten heads in the whole mansion. ”

"I've thought about that." An Ge pointed to the piece of paper and smiled, "This is specially prepared for harem concubines, we don't have to take this to the factory." Now there are only fourteen concubines in the harem, and we can copy them ourselves, and we can only copy fourteen copies. Then the batter was directly attached to the last page of the newspaper and sold privately to the harem concubines. It is only sold to concubines, not even palace maids. ”

"Can it still be like this?" Liu Yongxu stroked his chin and said.

An Ge nodded: "Well, the concubines already like to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts, and now that we have inquired about them, it is understandable to collect more silver." The key benefit is not this, but once they find out that our harem newspaper is not only good-looking, but also has such a big effect, what happens in the future, can they still protect us? ”

Everyone looked at each other thoughtfully.

An Ge continued to persuade: "Now that the emperor only has one son and one daughter, the heirs are really thin, if we inquire about the emperor's itinerary for the concubines, and let the concubines see the emperor more often, and then let the harem also add a few more imperial heirs, then we can be regarded as meritorious to Sheji, right, Lord Liu?" ”

Liu Yongxu is also one of these people who is more receptive to new things, otherwise he would not let An Ge do it at the beginning, thinking that what An Ge said makes sense, although it is also risky, but it does have so many benefits.

One of the things that touched him the most was that Di Bao was useful to the concubines, and if it happened again that the queen mother punished them for a month of rest last time, those concubines would definitely have to protect the Di Bao Mansion.

So Liu Yongxu immediately nodded: "Okay, just do it." ”

This issue of "Harem Mansion Newspaper" was put on the market two days later, compared with usual, it is colorful, tasteful, and the key is that all the palace secrets that outsiders don't know, so as soon as I took it, it sold a lot, and sales began to gradually recover.

Yu Yuanyuan and An Ge entered the palace together to deliver the "Hou Concubine Limited Edition Di Bao".

The two of them saw Xia Lanyan first, and there was some dislike between An Ge and Xia Lanyan, and at this moment, Yu Yuanyuan was alone and Xia Lanyan said that An Ge was waiting for her behind a tree not far away.

"Xia Cairen, originally the Di Bao only needed two dollars of silver, but today we brought Xia Cairen a special ......" Yu Yuanyuan is in the Shangjia family, and he is still very good at selling things, so he turned the last page to Xia Lanyan to see, "Xia Cairen, you see, this is the emperor's detailed itinerary for a few days later, and our Di Bao Mansion has spent a lot of effort to get this itinerary, if you want, you only need to add ten taels of silver......"

Xia Lanyan has not slept in the palace for so long, and her rank is also a relatively low "talent", she doesn't have much chance to see the emperor on weekdays, but when she sees it at this moment, her eyes immediately glow: "But really?" ”

Yu Yuanyuan nodded: "It's true!" ”

Xia Lanyan immediately wanted to pay for the silver, but when she touched the silver, she stopped, she kept a heart, and asked, "How many copies of this special mansion newspaper have been issued by your mansion?" ”

Yu Yuanyuan replied honestly: "There are only fourteen copies in total, which are specially sold to the concubines, and others will definitely not be able to buy them!" ”

Xia Lanyan squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Then buy it all, that is, add an extra seventy taels of silver." I'll give you two hundred taels, and you can sell me all the remaining dozen or so. ”

Xia Lanyan was really generous, she more than tripled the price set by the Di Bao Mansion at once, Yu Yuanyuan was a little moved, but she didn't mean An Ge, she didn't dare to make her own decisions, so she straightened her shoulders and looked over Xia Lanyan to see An Ge behind the big tree.

Seeing An Ge shook his head, he had no choice but to say: "I'm sorry, I'm just a petty official of the Dibao Mansion, this rule is set by the supervisor, I really don't dare to do it without permission." You take it, if it's easy to use, next time I'll be the first to get Xia Cairen here. ”

Xia Lanyan wanted to take the lead, but the family was not far away, thought about it, and said, "That...... Then I will give you the two hundred taels, and you only need to give me a copy, but I have a request, in the future, if there is such a 'special' palace report, you will send it to the palace at dawn, and then send it to other concubines at sunset, how about it?" In other words, he can have an extra day than the other concubines.

This time, An Ge nodded to Yu Yuanyuan from behind the tree.

Yu Yuanyuan immediately smiled: "Okay, this one." ”

After Xia Lanyan left, An Ge came out from behind the tree, Yu Yuanyuan weighed the heavy bag of silver in his hand and said to An Ge: "It's really yours, in this way, what kind of Di Bao are we selling, these silver, after careful calculation, can make thousands of Di Bao pure profits!" ”

An Ge held her and said with a smile: "Xia Lanyan is generous, although I have a little trouble with her, but I am really happy to make her money." Let's find a gazebo to sit in, since we promised her to send it to other concubines later, we are not in a hurry. ”
