However, he still took the time to go to the small printing shop he opened when he first arrived in the capital, and printed hundreds of copies of the Chinese poetry collection that had been given to various Confucian scholars to watch.

After the scientific expedition, the dog emperor who found her conscience finally gave her a vacation.

Shen Chen slept at home all day.

Those people in the court didn't even let her rest enough.

Even if the Dog Emperor rewarded her with a thousand gold, Shen Chen was still very poor.

That's all the dead pay.

To eat, to have the expenses of the subordinates, and to raise a printing house like a gold-swallowing beast, there is no money at all.

Daxuan officials were not allowed to do business on their own.

Therefore, Shen Chen's printing shop was opened secretly, and he didn't dare to attract too much attention.

Shen Chen drank the porridge in small sips, the window was still open, the cool breeze was blowing, Shen Chen tightened the clothes on his body, and he was about to start making winter clothes, all of which cost money.

No wonder even though Xuan Gaozong set up a lot of torture, he still couldn't stop the officials from taking bribes one after another.

It's not that Shen Chen empathizes with corrupt officials.

It's just that the salary is too small.

Shen Chen doesn't have to socialize with other officials on weekdays, and there are only a dozen subordinates in the house, and the money is spent on himself.

The money issued by the imperial court was also not enough.

Not to mention the upper and lower points of officialdom.

Although the state does not prohibit officials' wives from taking care of the property in their dowries, there are a few "gentlemen" who will take their wives' money openly.

Isn't that just laughing out of your big teeth in front of your political enemies?

Shen Chen sighed, picked up the pen and began to write excerpts.

After writing for a while, she brought a cup of tea from the little maid she bought from Renyazi and put it next to her.

The little maid is a mute.

Can't speak and can't read.

But he looks good, and he was going to be sold to the Qinglou by his teeth.

Shen Chen looked at her pleasing to the eye, so he bought her halfway.

The little maid is only about ten years old, although she can't speak, but her hands and feet are very nimble, and she is also very diligent.

Originally, when he was first bought by Shen Chen, he was still a little confused.

After following Shen Chen's side for a long time, he also settled down.

Adults are the best people in the world, they will not sell her, they will not hurt her, and they will give her food.

Adults love to laugh and are gentle to their subordinates.

Never hit or curse.

The little maid smiled innocently at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen took the tea in her hand and thanked her.

The little girl's face was a little red, and she waved her hand again and again, she was still not used to adults thanking her.

Shen Chen chuckled lightly and motioned for the little maid to go down.

If you look closely, the little girl's face is somewhat similar to the face under Shen Chen's mask.

Especially between the eyebrows.

Shen Chen gave her a pulse, she was not born dumb, but she seemed to have experienced some major trauma, and then she couldn't speak.

She grabbed medicine for her and recuperated it.

Today is the Autumn Harvest Festival of Daxuan, Shen Chen finished handling official business, changed into thicker clothes, and went out with two entourages.

Outside, lanterns hang high on wooden stakes, and under each lantern, there are crossed golden ears of wheat for decoration.

It's been a good year, and the people are all smiles on their faces.

For them, as long as they can eat, it is a prosperous world.

Some people pin an ear of wheat, some people hold an ear of wheat in their hands, even if they are literati, they also pin the ears of wheat to their buns with the elegance of the vassals, celebrating the prosperity of the Great Xuan.

It was just getting dark, and the streets were already full of people.

Shen Chen also spent a penny to buy an ear of wheat for a small stall, forked it on his head, and integrated into the people of Xuanguo, walking aimlessly with the flow of people.

Although, Qin Xuan is a dog emperor who exploits his courtiers.

But it is undeniable that he is also a good emperor for the people of this Xuan Kingdom.

The words of praise raised by the great Confucians were hung high next to the god of food enshrined in the capital, and countless literati and writers used their pen and ink to drink and talk happily, and the bustling capital was brightly lit.

Hawkers shouting on the side of the streets, jugglers, and people doing business.

The children were holding sugar gourds in their hands, held in the arms of their parents, and squeezed towards the middle of the circle.

In the middle of the crowd circle, a sturdy man with nothing on his upper body was playing iron trees and silver flowers, as bright as stars.

The people around him let out a burst of amazement.

The juggler swallowed the sword into his belly, spit it out intact, took another sip of wine, and began to breathe fire.

Shen Chen took out two copper plates, put them into the copper bowl in front of them, stretched out his hand and applauded.

She smiled shallowly.

Everyone is trying to stay alive.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, do your best.

Available in the plot.

This prosperity came to an abrupt end this year.

After Qin Xuan's death, the family pushed Qin Zhen to the throne, Qin Xuan's henchmen and loyal ministers in the court were massacred, and the hands of the family spread to all corners of the Xuan Kingdom.

The clan, which had been suppressed for decades, completely fought back.

Qin Zhen also only cared about his own fun, fooled the ministers, entertained the people, built palaces on a large scale, and abandoned the government.

So that Daxuan died in just a dozen years after he ascended the throne.

was picked up by Li Yanshu for a leak.

After he succeeded to the throne, he still reused the family and could not balance the government, and later after he was almost set aside, he also wanted to suppress the family like Qin Xuan and Xuan Gaozong and reuse the cold family.

But many times it has failed.

The officials of the family wantonly plundered the land, forced the people into slavery, and brutalized the people.

And because his name on the throne was not right, he was entangled with the family for many years, and in the end he could only turn a blind eye.

Later, he only cared about falling in love with the heroine, pulling with the second daughter, the third daughter, and the fourth woman, and was proud of the harem women in the intrigue for him.

Prosperous, never again.

The people are starving for thousands of miles.

Shen Chen was bumped and retracted his thoughts.

The woman's face was veiled, and Yingying's eyes were full of impatience and anger, when she suddenly saw Shen Chen's face.

There was a pause.

The little maid beside her had already started to scold first: "Where did you come from, who gave you the courage to collide with the nobles." ”

"Little peach, don't be rude." The woman reprimanded the little maid in a low voice.

Then he said to Shen Chen very understandingly: "It was the little woman who didn't notice it for a while and accidentally bumped into the son." ”

Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled like a spring breeze: "It's nothing." ”

Acquaintances.

Aren't this woman and the little maid next to her the same two women dressed as men last time I saw them at the poetry club?

Shen Chen had probably guessed the identities of the two.

The woman's gaze at Shen Chen was very bold and shy.

There is an unwritten rule for the Autumn Harvest Festival in Xuanguo.

On this day, both men and women can travel on this day, and if there is a person who sees the right eye, you can hand the ear of wheat to the other person, and if the other person takes it, pin the ear of wheat in the bun to agree to the other person's affection.

The two will talk to each other, and then the man will come to the door on a specific day to propose.

It is said that at that time, Xuan Taizu and Queen Chongming met by wheat ears, and then fell in love for life and achieved a good story.

She held the ears of wheat in her hand, and Yingying Qiu's pupils looked at Shen Chen affectionately.

Shen Chen tilted his head slightly, allowing the woman to see the ears of wheat on her head.

The woman's eyes were filled with reluctance and disbelief.

He actually has a sweetheart?

The flow of people surged, and Shen Chen was soon taken away.

The veiled woman angrily threw the ears of wheat to the ground.

"Xiao Tao, go and find out, whose son he is."

Xiao Tao said with some fear: "Yes, princess." ”
