Lin Qingwan was noncommittal, fifty young jinshi, how can the jinshi be so easy to test?

Shang Mingjie naturally knew this, but he wanted to work hard, he glanced at Lin Qingwan, and still couldn't help asking: "Aunt Lin, cousin next year, do you want to kiss her?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled gently: "It's just to look at each other first, she's still young, so I'm not in a hurry to decide." ”

Shang Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also think my cousin can wait for two years before deciding." ”

If he can't convince the Lin family by then, and he can't get the family to agree, and he can't give his cousin happiness, he will die.

Lin Qingwan glanced at him, looking at the sky outside through the window, she remembered Lin Jiang's appreciation of Shang Mingjie at the beginning, she couldn't help but bent her fingers and knocked on the table, and said meaningfully: "There is only one girl in Yubin in our family, so naturally we want to keep her older, this is not something else, and it will not be settled in a year or two." ”

Therefore, the Lin family will give him two years at most, and then it will be up to him to see if he can satisfy Lin Qingwan.

Shang Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief, got up and bowed to Lin Qingwan and stepped back.

Lin Qingwan clicked the table and didn't speak, but just asked the bookstore to speed up and engrave Shang Mingjie's "Four Seasons Agricultural Book".

It takes a lot of time to carve a carving, and it takes two or three months to engrave it.

However, it is easier to print and frame after engraving.

Lin Qingwan personally went to the bookstore to see their engravings, and finally clicked on the engravings without speaking.

Steward Liu stood beside her, paying attention to her expression, and couldn't help asking, "Does Grandma have any opinions?" ”

"Have you ever thought of not making a whole engraving, but cutting all these characters and picking them out for printing when you are ready to use them?" Lin Qingwan said: "In this way, if you want to print a new book in the future, you don't need to reproduce the lettering, you just need to pick out the words you need and place them according to the content." ”

Steward Liu pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "It is indeed a good way." ”

He frowned again, "It's a pity that there are very few new books in the bookstore, most of them are old books, and most of the old book engravings are collected by our bookstore." ”

The engraving collection of Lin's Book Company is not only the first in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the number one in the entire Liang.

With these engravings, there will be countless books in the Lin Bookstore.

In this way, the effect of movable type printing on Lin's Book Company is not great, after all, there are many commonly used words, if they are engraved a few, how much work is there?

Moreover, it is not difficult for the craftsmen of their bookstore to engrave the lettering, but it is difficult to place it according to the content of the book.

You have to be literate, and you have to have a vocabulary.

Do you think that craftsmen can be literate if they know how to engraving?

You think too much, they just follow it, and they recognize a few words.

If they knew so many words, what would they do better than being craftsmen?

Lin Qingwan obviously knew this, so she was not in a hurry to get movable type printing out. It's just to mention an ear here at Steward Liu.

Anyway, now the Lin family doesn't do anything with movable type printing.

"Engrave this agricultural book as soon as possible, and I will ask for it before the beginning of spring." Since Shang Mingjie has this heart, she doesn't mind helping him.

"How much to print?"

Lin Qingwan thought for a while and smiled: "Print more, anyway, the book is ours, and we are responsible for our profits and losses, if it sells well, maybe we can take the opportunity to make a profit." ”

This book is a farming book written by Lin Qingwan hired by Shang Mingjie for Uncle Chen, and the writer written on it is Shang Mingjie, but there are a lot of narrators, and Uncle Chen ranks first.

But no matter how many people's names are on the book, the copyright of the book is actually in Lin Qingwan's hands.

Well, now that the book has been written, she can settle the account with Shang Mingjie.

For the first time in his life, Shang Mingjie got his hard-earned money, and he pinched the money bag and counted it for a while, but he was very generous and used all the money to buy gifts.

Not only grandmother and mother, but also brothers and sisters in the family, that is, Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin both received a copy.

Even his father, who was far away in the capital, received one, and of course, Shang Ping received a proposal in addition to receiving his son's "gift for manuscript fees".

Yes, that is Shang Mingjie, an upright boy who cares about the people, wrote to his father, and he hopes that his father can write to His Majesty to restrain all officials in the world and prevent the people from being disturbed by the long live.

When his father received this handwritten letter, his cheeks twitched with anger, and he didn't look at the gift he gave, and threw it aside.

How did the Zhao family raise his son, he actually developed a nerd look, at this time, the court inside and outside the court is happy to expand the territory, and His Majesty is also happy to prepare for next year's birthday, isn't it looking for scolding at this time?

Shang Ping threw his son's letter aside and picked up the letter sent by Zhao Sheng to read.

In the end, they were one step slower, and even if the Lin clan was without Lin Jiang, they still had a firm foothold in Jiangnan.

It's a pity, Shang Ping burned Zhao Sheng's letter in disappointment, and the expression on his face was a little uncertain under the firelight.

The relationship between the Shang and Lin families was close, and when Lin Jiang just died, he did not do it well, so as not to be said to fall into the ground, but he didn't expect Lin Qingwan and Lin Run to be so powerful.

For more than two years, not only blocked the menacing Zhao family, but also allowed the Lin family to regain a foothold in Jiangnan.

Shang Ping sighed, regretting in his heart, if only it were a little slower, the Shang family still had time to make a move.

Lin Qingwan didn't know that Shang Ping still had the idea of replacing the Lin family's position in Jiangnan, otherwise he would not have been so polite to him.

She once again received a newspaper from Zhou Tingshi, which contained a letter of exhortation from the history of the Luzhou Assassin, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but chuckle, nodded to the newspaper and smiled: "Our Lin family's uncle is too smart. ”

Isn't that self-inflicted?

Bai Mei and Bai Feng glanced at each other, pondered for a long time before remembering that the uncle Lin Qingwan said was not the second master of the Shang family?

The two of them stood on tiptoe to look at the newspaper in her hand, but they didn't see the name of the second uncle on it.

Lin Qingwan folded the newspaper and handed it to Bai Feng, and said with a smile: "Send it to Jiang Nan, bring it with you when Ming'er goes to the academy in the morning, and give it to him if you meet Mingjie." ”

Bai Feng took it in confusion and handed it to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan couldn't understand it, so he showed it to Lin Yubin first.

Lin Yubin also saw the exhortation in the history of the Luzhou Thorn, and when he looked at the date again, he couldn't help but sigh: "The second uncle has too many concerns. ”

She frowned and said, "But why did my aunt ask you to report the mansion to the second cousin?" Doesn't that make him sad? ”

Lin Qingwan made Shang Mingjie sad, she wanted him to know that in the Shang family, he was the master, and the resistance was not only his mother, but also his father.

And compared to Shang Ping, what is Mrs. Shang Er?

For Lin Qingwan, whether the two families get married or not depends not on the attitude of the second wife Shang at all, but on the attitude of Shang Ping.

Lin Yubin was close to the academy, much earlier than the students on the male school, so she went in for a while before Shang Mingjie and several classmates came up from the mountain.

Jiang Nan turned directly to the gate and handed him the mansion report, "Second cousin, this is a gift from my aunt and grandmother." ”

Shang Mingjie was confused, "Why did my aunt remember to send me a newspaper?" ”

Jiang Nan grinned, "The little one is just responsible for delivering things, but I see that my aunt and grandmother were in a good mood yesterday, maybe it's a good thing." ”

Shang Mingjie unfolded the newspaper, and the first thing he saw was the "Luzhou Thorn History Exhortation" that took up a large space.

Zhou Tong happened to hear it, and they all gathered around and asked, "What did the Di newspaper say, isn't it your father who has been promoted?" ”

"It must be, otherwise why did Lord Lin send you a special report instead of Lin You?"

Lin You smiled and said, "It's the same when I go back and see it." ”

But the man still came up, because he was also curious about what was said in the newspaper sent by his aunt.

Shang Mingjie had already quickly swept the exhortation letter of the Luzhou Thorn History at a glance and ten lines, and was a little stunned for a while.

The words and sentences of that exhortation are completely different from his, but the meaning is the same, they are all to persuade the emperor to restrain the hundred officials and not disturb the people because of His Majesty's thousand years.

Judging by the date of the letter, it was two days after his letter arrived in the capital.

What does Aunt Lin mean by this?

Shang Mingjie stuffed the newspaper into Lin You's arms in frustration and entered the academy in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Lin You hugged the newspaper and hurriedly unfolded it.

Other classmates also crowded up to watch, "Isn't something happened to Master Shang?" ”

"No, didn't the Lin family's chauffeur just now say that Lord Lin was very happy this morning, if something happened to Lord Shang, would she still be happy?"

Even if you're happy, you have to hold back your heart, they're all in-laws, isn't it bad to express it so obviously?

Lin You quickly swept through the newspaper, flipped through it and said, "There is no content about the Shang family on it." ”

Zhou Tong pointed to the exhortation book that took up a large space and said, "Mingjie has been staring at this article just now. ”

"It's an excerpt to exhort Your Majesty," Lu Li touched his chin and said: "This exhortation is very pertinent, Zhou Tingshi loves the people, so we don't have those messy things in Suzhou, but I heard that in some places, there are already local officials who let the people contribute money in order to make up for His Majesty's birthday." ”

"In this way, Luzhou's assassin should ask for the people's life, so how can Brother Shang be so happy, as if he is not very happy."

Lin You immediately folded his head and reported: "Let's not guess, I don't think Brother Shang is necessarily unhappy about this." ”

"Why don't you want to ask him?" Zhou Tong took the lead in rushing into the academy.

The others ran in one after another, grabbed Shang Mingjie, who was hanging his head in front of him, and tortured him.

Lin You shook his head and followed in, everyone was not worried that Shang Mingjie would be angry, because he had always had a good temper.

Even if you are in a bad mood, you rarely make fire on others.

Shang Mingjie was really not angry, but he was a little lost, he sat on the steps and said: "I also gave my father a seal of the exhortation book in the history of the Luzhou Thorn, but my father didn't write it. ”

"I thought it was a big deal, Uncle Shang may be afraid that you will be young and vigorous, and cause trouble," Lu Li patted him on the shoulder and persuaded: "Don't go to your heart, you are still young, and you will have the opportunity to write to Your Majesty after entering the office." ”
