"This ......" Zhao Chang hesitated.

As a prince, although he enjoys the glory and wealth that ordinary people can't reach, he also brings shackles that others don't have. He can't leave the capital at will, and he can't do whatever he wants like everyone else. No matter what he does, he has to think about it, so as not to bring disaster to himself and his relatives in the palace.

"I've got to think about it." He said honestly to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning nodded understandingly: "When everyone disperses, let's talk about this matter." ”

"Lord Du, where can I buy your jasmine tea? I want to buy some. ”

In the crowd, an old gentleman in his sixties and seventies asked Du Jinning.

He is the head of Runzhou City Academy, and he is a lover in this life, only tea, and he is not short of money, so he can't help but come to ask Du Jinning.

Many people in the hall have this question, but seeing that Du Jinning is talking to someone, it is not good to disturb. At this time, listening to Qin Shanchang's inquiry, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen.

Du Jinning smiled, seeing that everyone looked over, as if waiting for her answer.

She raised her voice slightly: "When everyone leaves in a while, I will give everyone a box of tea, which is a gift for everyone prepared at the tea party." ”

She looked at Qin Shanchang: "If Qin Shanchang still wants to buy some more, you can send someone to the Boyue Tea Shop in the city to buy it." However, the taste of tea at all levels is also different, and Qin Shanchang can also go and taste it in person. After all, it's hard to buy a favorite, you have to like it. ”

Her words conveyed a message to everyone, there are different grades of tea in the tea shop, the taste is different, and the price is naturally different. You can buy according to your financial situation.

Not everyone who came to the tea party was not bad for money. Some have status and fame, but their economic situation is average.

And Du Jinning, a jasmine tea, can naturally be tasted by people who know how to drink tea, whether it is the aroma or taste, it is the best product, plus its uniqueness, it is not surprising that it is sold at a sky-high price.

Nowadays, there are some teas, the price is lower, and everyone can afford it.

So people who were worried about the price and didn't dare to ask said they wanted to buy some and try them.

Guan Jiatian, as the governor of Runzhou, the largest local official, and Du Jinning's eldest brother, is obliged to help Du Jinning preside over this tea party.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he proposed: "Just now Master Du asked us to write an article on the tea ceremony, I suggest that we select a dozen or so outstanding articles and form a collection, which is called "Tea Ceremony Collection". I can pay for it. As for the sale......"

He pointed at Du Jinning: "Master Du has a bookstore under his name, and when the time comes, we will give him this task and let him sell this book everywhere." ”

This is naturally something he discussed with Du Jinning. In other words, it was Du Jinning who instructed him to propose this.

It is not an easy task in the twenty-first century to compile one's own articles into a book and then print them for sale according to normal procedures, let alone in ancient times, when both printing technology and sales channels were extremely backward. If it is not a great Confucian in the world, or a literati scholar who is supported by the great family with money and connections, he would not dare to have such a dream at all.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a book number, and rich people could spend some money to have the bookstore print out their books and send them to friends. However, this kind of book has very little influence, not only can not give the book a good reputation, but it is disgraced.

People will say: What is his knowledge? Writing articles is a piece of shit. Such a person still publishes a book? It's just putting gold on the face, shame for being in the company of such people.

Of course, there are really talented scholars, except for literati and scholars who are willing to support them. For example, if Qin Shanchang wanted to publish a book at his own expense, at least the students of the academy did not dare not support it. It's just that such a person is proud of his identity and has the backbone of a scholar, and he is unwilling to spend money to brag about himself. Literati are contemptuous, and they will worry that someone will flatter you to your face and say something nasty behind your back. Qin Shanchang, who has a certain social status, wants to have a face and skin, so naturally he will not do such a thing.

Now that I heard that my article had the opportunity to be placed in the "Tea Ceremony Collection", whether it was an old gentleman like Qin Shanchang who had already looked down on life, or a young talent like Lin Xuan, who had not yet been released, they were all moved.

This kind of book published in a collection is completely different from the nature of spending money to print a book for your own amusement. More importantly, Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui are both people who have been magistrates for many years, and they have certain connections and prestige; Du Jinning is the new champion, and the news that he is the author of "Farming" spreads, and the most famous person may be him; Lu Jiuyuan and the others are all over the world, and they have also created a new theory with Du Jinning, which is expected to become famous scholars...... Not to mention that there are celebrities like Su Heng and Shi Hanshan in the crowd, as well as distinguished figures like Zhao Chang who are hidden in the crowd.

If their own articles can be collected in a book with their articles, they can use their connections to show their face in front of the world. Imagine boldly, if your article is brilliant and eye-catching, and even overshadows those people, then you will not be far from becoming famous and having a family.

Everyone asked about the rules, and learned that there were tables and chairs in the side hall, the open space outside, and the water boat opposite for writing essays, so they couldn't wait to go out of the hall, and each found a secluded place with few people, and considered how to write articles.

Master Du said that the soul of the tea ceremony lies in the "Tao". How to write the "Tao" in "tea", everyone felt it when they watched the tea performance just now. At this time, it seems that it is not difficult to write an article about the feelings in your heart. But it is not easy to write very well and get into the top dozen out of these thirty people.

Seeing this, Zhao Chang became interested, got up and said, "I'm also going to write an article." "Even if you can't sign your real name, it's very meaningful to sign a pen name in the anthology.

"Then I'll wait to appreciate Zhao Gongzi's masterpiece." Du Jinning said with a smile.

After Zhao Chang left, Guan Jiatian came over and asked, "There won't be any problems, right?" ”

Du Jinning shook his head, and his chin raised in one direction: "Didn't you see two people following him?" There are still secret guards in the secret, and it will be fine. ”

She laughed, "And, those people can't be so stupid. If King Jing had an accident as soon as he left the capital, he would definitely shrink into the capital and not come out in the future, and the emperor would not let him come out. So even if those people want to make a fuss about King Jing, they have to wait for King Jing to come out and walk around for a while, and after finding that it is okay, the guards around him are lax, and then they will take action, otherwise they will be caught in the net. ”

It was also because of this that she was so relieved to let Zhao Chang live in her garden, and did not persuade Zhao Chang to return to the capital as soon as possible.
