Chapter 395: Mid-Autumn Festival
The car gradually moved away, and the streets of Chang'an City were once again hidden in the night.
This is a small episode, no matter who wants Prince Jieli to die, it has nothing to do with Bai Song at all.
But this is also a reflection, and it seems to be telling all kinds of cruelty in the White Song Dynasty.
Bai Song didn't know how much leisure time he still had, and he didn't know when he would change from an outsider to an insider.
When I looked at the bright moon overhead, I suddenly realized how luxurious and comfortable the tranquility was at this time.
……
In the early morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Song exchanged a few boxes of mooncakes from the space to satisfy his hunger first.
Then he began to teach Sangsang to make.
The street was lively early in the morning, and Bai Song had been in the capital for so long, and it was the first time that he heard the sound of noise and fighting at the door of his house.
Qing'er came early, and saw that Bai Song was hiding at home on such an important day to teach Sang Sang how to make dim sum, and ridiculed Bai Song again, and then forcefully pulled Bai Song to Qianzhuang.
Although the performance starts in the evening, there are many tourists in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even if there are never any visitors, there will be curious people coming in from time to time to ask.
The store needs some decoration, and there are not many guys, so you need one person to guard the store.
In the early morning, the East Market is very lively, and the traffic is impassable, so you can only enter it on foot.
As Qing'er said, today the money village has an unprecedented guest in, the guys are busy arranging the shop, Bai Song temporarily took the position of reception, and seriously introduced to the few people what is a silver ticket, why to save money, and some financial products with a high rate of return under the name of the money bank.
The people of the capital were more cautious, and let Bai Song talk wildly, but they knew a thing or two, and after hearing it, they left.
Bai Song talked for a long time, his mouth was dry, and he begged for a glass of water from Mozhu to drink.
At this time, a familiar figure arrived.
Yu Qingqing wore a green shirt and a small hat, strode into the bank, went to the counter and skillfully turned out a charcoal pen, and then looked at Bai Song with wide eyes, feeling that it was a little strange that this person came so early today.
It happened that there were guests outside, and Bai Song hurriedly greeted him.
Yu Qingqing looked at it, knowing that it couldn't affect people's business, so she didn't say hello to Bai Song, took out the small drawing board she usually used from under the coffee table on the windowsill, sat in the corner, and continued to stare at the eggs that could never be finished in a daze.
Not to mention, Yu Qingqing painted eggs for a few days, and gradually mastered the skills of using charcoal pens, and the eggs on the drawing paper became more and more formed, and gradually took on a shape. It's just that no one appreciates her progress, so it's getting more and more boring.
She only came to look forward to the lantern festival at night, and she has stayed in Qianzhuang for a long time, and she also has feelings, and she hopes that tonight's performance in Mobai Qianzhuang can win full applause.
It's more important than anything else!
Today's money village is indeed lively, Bai Songgang sent a group of guests, and the book club next door sent a visit gift, which is a set of ink treasures from Suzhou, which is extremely precious.
Bai Song didn't know if this was a custom, and after receiving a gift from others, he had to return the gift.
It just so happened that after learning that Chen Xirong had entered Beijing, Bai Song didn't say a word to anyone seriously, taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Song brought a box of moon cakes that he exchanged from the space, and prepared to go to the bookstore next door to return the gift.
Yu Qingqing was absent-minded in painting, and when she saw the gift box in Bai Song's hand, she immediately kicked the charcoal pen into her sleeve, followed her, and asked, "What is this?" ”
"You draw your go."
"Oh, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let the family take a break, paint every day, I close my eyes and dream of eggs. Tell me, what the hell is in here? ”
"Mooncakes."
"Mooncakes?" Yu Qingqing thought about it seriously, and felt as if she had heard this name somewhere, and suddenly said, "Ah, I have eaten, it seems to be some kind of envoy's tribute, entered the palace and gave it to the emperor, and then the emperor rewarded it to grandpa!" It's delicious, I heard that there is no land outside, where did you come from? ”
"Can you still go to the palace and steal it? That's a lot of questions for you! I wanted to eat and get it later, so I brought some to the shop. ”
Yu Qingqing turned around and saw the guys in the shop eating a piece of moon cake, each of them praised, they all said it was delicious, and their faces were full of happiness.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me! Where is it? I want to taste it! ”
"Next!" The ink bamboo inside smiled and threw a piece at Yu Qingqing.
Yu Qingqing didn't catch it, and the mooncake fell to the ground and fell apart.
Fortunately, there was a layer of oiled paper wrapped in it, Xiao Nizi quickly picked it up, blowing the dust on her face like a baby, and then carefully opened the oiled paper, licking the broken dough inside little by little, and suddenly laughed a lot and two small crescents.
Looking at Yu Qingqing's crooked eyebrows, Bai Song took a breath of cool air, made a swing, took two steps back, and said in his heart How can this little fart child become more and more like a girl!
"Delicious! It's delicious! It's even more delicious than the emperor's reward! Do you still have it, give me a box, and I'll take it back to grandpa to taste. ”
Bai Song didn't want to give it to her, but this guy moved out of his grandfather Yu Shinan, and Bai Song could only agree, saying that when you left, you would ask Mozhu for a box to take away.
Anyway, Bai Song is now desireless, there is no urgent goal, the aura in the space is abundant, and I don't know what to change.
Yu Qingqing ate the moon cakes delicately in small bites, forgetting about painting for a long time, and followed Bai Song out of the money village, but she didn't feel it.
"What are you doing with me?" Bai Song looked at the follower behind him and stood at the door of the Chen Book Club and asked.
Yu Qingqing snorted: "I'm here, let's take a look with you." ”
As she spoke, Yu Qingqing looked up at the plaque at the door: "Book Club? A full set of Three Kingdoms? What's that? ”
Babbling, the little girl pushed Bai Song away and walked in first.
This book club is much more lively than the money village.
Chen's Books not only sells the current popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, as well as a lot of mythical novels, including mountains and seas, and romance books.
As long as it's a book, no matter where it comes from, whatever it can be sold, everything that can be sold is sold. The complexity of his books has become the first under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
The ability to make a living today is thanks to the movable type printing technology of the White Song Dynasty.
Relying on the relationship between the old lady of the Chen family in the official bookstore of Jixian County, she used the machine of the imperial court to print books for her own bookstore, with more advanced printing technology, and relied on easing the relationship with the Bai Song Dynasty, and set up an online line with the bamboo paper store and used bamboo paper printing.
The cost of books became lower, allowing the Chen Book Society to kill all sides in the territory of Datang, and the speed of diffusion was so fast that it swept Youzhou in one month. At the same time as opening a branch in the capital, the major cities in the Bashu area and the south of the Yangtze River were rolled out at the same time, and it is rumored that the Chen Book Society has more than 100 shops.
In the past, Chen Xirong was suppressed by Bai Song, but now the eldest lady of the Chen family is different, she said that Bai Song looked down on the small business, in fact, the scale is already bigger than Bai Song's money bank, I don't know how many times.
However, the combination of traditional anthologies and secular texts by Chen's Books has also caused a lot of controversy, and many people think that sage books cannot be put together with some inferior books.
But these are all small episodes, in the face of absolute price and quality advantages, the customers of Chen's Books are endless.
Chen's Book Club is the only one in the capital for the time being, Yu Qingqing is in Qianzhuang on weekdays, and rarely comes out to hang out, but it is the first time I have seen such a book club.
There are all kinds of books in the book club, and there are few guests in the place where the books of the sages are placed, but the place where all kinds of books and novels are placed is congested, and some people even squat in a small corner, with a pot of wine and a stack of beans on the ground, just look like this.
Yu Qingqing held a moon cake in one hand and a book of words that I don't know what to call in the other, blending into the crowd.
However, after looking at the book twice, she would raise her head to find out where Bai Song was, and after confirming Bai Song's location, she showed a stable expression, and continued to nibble on moon cakes and read the book, and so on.
"Bai Gongzi, why are you here in person?!"
Chen guy from Jixian County recognized Bai Song, they had just sent someone to give a gift before, but they didn't expect Bai Gongzi to come in person, which made the guy a little panicked.
As he spoke, the guy squeezed in front of Bai Song and took Bai Song to the back hall of the bookstore.
"The young lady is settling accounts in the back hall, and she can't pull away."
While speaking, the person had already arrived in the small room in the back hall to stock up.
The light in the room is not good, even during the day.
Chen Xirong sat at the small desk in the middle, and the ledgers were stacked together to block her face.
The guy knocked on the door: "Miss, Bai Gongzi is here." ”
"Bai Song?" A pair of slightly sleepy eyes revealed the stacked account books, Chen Xirong put down the pen, got up and walked out, and saw Bai Song a little surprised, "What are you doing here?" ”
Bai Song pointed to the gift box in his hand: "Oh, come and don't be rude, I'll give you a gift." ”
Chen Xirong was stunned, then covered his mouth and smiled: "Hey, you have become vulgar when you come to the capital." ”
While talking, the guy outside was shouting: "Hey, little boy, you can't go inside." ”
Yu Qingqing stuffed the last bite of moon cake into her mouth and said vaguely: "I'm with him!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Yu Qingqing had already arrived in the back hall with a book in his hand, and there was only Bai Song in his eyes, and he continued to read after finding Bai Song.
"This is ......" Chen Xirong asked tentatively, looking at Bai Song.
Bai Song frowned: "Hey, just treat him as if he doesn't exist." ”
"I'm his classmate!" Yu Qingqing said casually.
"Classmates? This...... Isn't this a little girl? Chen Xirong saw through Yu Qingqing's ingredients at a glance.
Yu Qingqing suddenly became nervous, swallowed the moon cake in one gulp, and looked at Bai Song with a blushing face.
Bai Song's IQ was cleared in this matter, and he didn't take Chen Xirong's words seriously at all, but glanced at Yu Qingqing, slapped her on the head, and said angrily: "Look at you, when did you become a little masculinous?" When will I be independent? Everyone treats you like a girl! ”
"Ouch! What are you doing! Yu Qingqing covered her head and complained subconsciously, but she didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, so she hurriedly pointed to the moon cakes, "This is a moon cake, it's a tribute, the emperor can't eat a few bites, and I don't know where he got it, you can taste it, it's delicious!" That one...... Can I eat another piece? ”
