Nongmen Shuxiangzhi returns to ancient writing books

Chapter 362
"Hahaha! Not bad, great! Progressive! As expected of my Qi Feng's son! You don't have to be polite to the Ji family!" King Qi burst into a hearty laugh. He just showed off his son and nephew to his colleagues today. Both of them got first-class results in their recent exams, which made King Qi let out a sigh of relief in front of his colleagues.

Who made Qiqi and Jiang Yang have no interest in going to the academy before, although Qiqi is first-class, but not at the top, Jiang Yang is just a dawdler, and always takes the bottom position every time, which makes King Qi the best among his colleagues. Very shameless in front of him.

At that time, Qiqi and Jiang Yang were still in the Imperial College, and every time everyone talked about the test results, King Qi almost left with excuses. There was no way, who let him, who was really in a high position, let the child not live up to expectations!

Every time at this time, those ministers are in a very good mood, and finally it is another chance to make a face, and King Qi is always the one who is compared, especially his son is not as good as Ji Li's son, This made him very embarrassed.

The last few times, he called an absolute counterattack, and once he dropped the top ten rankings, he almost blinded the eyes of all his colleagues, and the anger in King Qi's heart finally went smoothly.

This is not today, he has just finished showing off the results of his two children. The day he least liked before has now become his favorite activity.

Pretend to be modest, but the feeling of showing off is not so good.Looking at the envious and jealous expressions of his colleagues, he felt physically and mentally at ease.

No, as soon as he left the palace gate, a few old princes who usually looked down on him stopped him and asked him for advice on a good way to teach children, which can improve their grades so much!
These few are clan elders, King Qi is a king with a different surname, and these few people don't like him very much on weekdays.Now, for the sake of the younger generation in the family, it is really rare to put down face.

King Qi asked three questions and didn't know. As soon as they heard that he didn't do anything, the two children liked to study, and their grades improved naturally, and the old faces changed.

It was obvious that he didn't believe his words, and King Qi was also very helpless. In these days, the truth is always not so easy to believe.

Before King Qi left, he saw that the old general Lian was also surrounded by these people. The problem probably was at that moment, who made the second son of the Lian family improve by leaps and bounds. He sang all the way from the end to the top ten of the first class.

But he knew that these people would definitely not get any useful information from even the old general. He believed that even the old general, like him, did nothing. Going to Chu's house can't get rid of the relationship.

After all, there are still building blocks sent by the Chu family at home, and it is said that this is the first time even a stinky boy is close to a first-class prize.

Thinking of how these two troublesome guys at home have made such great progress, thanks to Chu Chu, King Qi appreciated the two's actions today even more, "You guys did a good job today."

"My lord——" Princess Qi frowned disapprovingly, "They have been fighting every day these days, and they have been injured every day. If this continues, there may be something wrong. The two of them have been talking about Sister Chu and Sister Chu all day long, and now they are fighting again. Fighting for her is not a problem! The prince needs to teach more."

The smile on King Qi's face immediately disappeared, but before he could speak, the little fat man Jiang Yang said immediately, "Uncle, don't worry, auntie, brother and I don't only know how to fight, we all reason with each other first, Only fight when it doesn't make sense."

"That's right, father, mother, when those people stop spreading rumors that are unfavorable to sister Chu, Jiang Yang and I will stop fighting." Quan Quan added.

Princess Qi frowned, slightly jealous, "You two, sister Chu, you are so close, people who don't know think she is your own sister? Is she really that good? Why do I think that you treat her so well? Is it better than my mother?"

"Auntie, you are different from Sister Chu. Of course we respect and love you, but Sister Chu is also very good to us. We go to eat and drink every day. Sister Chu also asked Mr. Ye to teach us calligraphy. Ye Young Master has no time, so Sister Chu asked us to do math, and Sister Chu will never forget us if there are any good things."

The little fat man explained, "Young Master Ye gave Xiaoyueyue a playground. The prices there are novel and interesting. Sister Chu let us go in and play that day. It's the same treatment as Xiaoyueyue."

"The last time you had to go home and stay at Chu's house?" Princess Qi asked.

"That's right, all of us stayed there that day. That day was the first time I took a bath by myself. If there wasn't a time, I don't know. It turned out that I couldn't even do such a small thing as a bath without my servants." ?”

Jiang Yang said.

"So you do all the dressing and bathing yourself during this time?" Princess Qi became interested.

Jiang Yang nodded, "Sister Chu said that you should do your own things. Even if you have a prominent family background and a noble status, you can have a lot of servants, but you can't let them become a waste that cannot survive without servants!"

"That's right, Sister Chu said that you can let others do some things, but you must be able to do them yourself, so that if an accident happens, you won't be in a hurry."

Said completely.

King Qi is also interested. The two brothers basically just go home and sleep. Most of the time is either in the academy or at the Chu family. They haven't talked like this for a long time.

"Come, come, tell us again, what else has Mrs. Chu taught you?" King Qi and Princess Qi were sitting, listening to the two of you and me talking about all kinds of "great achievements".

At the beginning, there were some principles of life, or methods of learning. Basically, they were all learning content. I don’t know why. Later, it turned into how amazing Chu Chu is, how interesting the scriptures are, and how delicious the snacks are. , how special the dishes are, how well Xiao Yueyue was taught by her, King Qi and Princess Qi were dumbfounded.

"Father, mother, do you know? Sister Chu can even make paper, and those people in the capital don't know how good Sister Chu is! They think they don't know how to make paper, but Sister Chu can't! I don't know who didn't know how to make paper." What's your strength!"

Quan Quan's face was full of pride and pride, those who didn't know thought he was so powerful.

King Qi and Princess Qi finally couldn't listen any more. Seeing his son Dayou continue to show off Chuchu's various strengths, King Qi couldn't help but interrupt him, "Don't tell me Mrs. Chu has no shortcomings or is not doing well?" Good place?"

Before Qi Qi could speak at this meeting, the little fat man Jiang Yang said immediately, "Of course not, Sister Chu is amazing everywhere! Sister Chu is getting married on July [-]th, uncle, aunt, what kind of gift do you think I want to give to compare?" Okay? Usually, Sister Chu gave me a lot of good things!"

King Qi and Princess Qi looked at each other helplessly. It seemed that this little fat man hadn't been so concerned about their birthdays.King Qi also felt a strange sense of jealousy.

"The last time I was taking a bath, Chu Hong insisted that Sister Chu also had a jade pendant like mine. Compared to Sister Chu, she is a jade-loving person. Father, I wonder if grandfather's whole jade can still take off a piece of square jade. Make it into a jade pendant? Sister Chu will definitely like this gift."

Completely thought about it.

"That's right, that's right, Chu Xuan also looked at my jade pendant specifically, and said that Sister Chu has a similar one. Sister Chu should really like jade. Brother, you must give this as a gift."

Jiang Yang said.

The two were happy because they thought of what gift to give, they didn't notice the shocked expressions of King Qi and Princess Qi.

"Grandpa's things should be with grandma. Brother, you should ask grandma about this matter, not uncle. Uncle definitely doesn't know." Jiang Yang added.

Hearing this, Qi Quan immediately stood up, his eyes sparkled, and he was so excited that he wanted to run to the eldest princess's yard, but who knew that when he moved, King Qi grabbed him by the collar and directly lifted him up, just as he got off the chair His ass was pushed back onto the chair again.

"Father?" asked completely puzzled.

Quan Quan unconsciously increased the strength in his hand, and asked eagerly, "You said, Mrs. Chu also has a jade pendant like yours? Have you seen it? Is it really the same?"

Qiqi shook his head, "No, Sister Chu didn't show it to us, and we didn't ask. After all, it's impossible. Our jade pendants are all taken from grandfather's whole jade, so how could they be exactly the same? ?”

"Uncle, let go quickly, the elder brother is strangled so hard." Jiang Yang walked up to King Qi and said, grabbing his wrist.

Only then did King Qi realize that he was too nervous and excited, so he immediately let go.

"Father, is there something hidden here?" Quan Quan asked tentatively.

King Qi's face was tense, "I'm not sure yet, I need Dad to confirm it himself."

Princess Qi got up and held King Qi's palm, and said softly, "You are in the capital, don't worry, if you are right or not, you will know by asking yourself."

King Qi's tense back finally relaxed, "Don't tell mother about this, I'll go to the Chu family first to find out the truth."

Princess Qi nodded, and then looked at the two younger ones, "Listen, you two, don't mention Yuzhui'er to your grandmother, your grandmother is getting old, let her save herself, you have all grown up Yes, you need to know the severity."

"Yes." The two put away the laughter on their faces.

*
Chu family.

Chuchu finally succeeded in making the toilet paper she wanted. Although it was not as soft as modern ones, it was barely usable.

Xiang Tian has been reminded so many times, the paper in the engraving workshop is about to run out, if there is no new paper, the engraving workshop will shut down, and this shutdown will not allow delivery as expected.

This has a great impact on the reputation of Shuxiangju, Xiang Tian has been in a hurry for several days and nights and has not slept well.

"Chuchu, the books in the bookstore are almost sold out. The paper is almost gone. If you don't make some paper, our bookstore will run out of stock."

Ye Yi reminded.

Chu Chu was beating oars in the yard, and when she heard Ye Yi's report, her hands stopped, "Why are you getting closer and closer to Xiang Tian? Every day is like urging your life. Are you urging ghosts to give birth?"

Xiang Tian, ​​the urging ghost who just entered the yard: "..."

"Ma'am, the carving workshop is really running out of food and grass. If there is no more paper tomorrow, the carving workshop will stop working." Xiang Tian's mouth was already blistering.

"It seems that the craftsmen are working very hard! The speed of engraving is so fast! Since there is not much paper left, let's print it as a gentleman's note, and don't print the storybook."

Chu Chu said.

Ye Yiyi was delighted, "You finally remembered Gentleman's Notes! Thank God, thank God, those rich sons, those who like arty scholars, and those world-renowned Confucian scholars will all rush to buy such a good thing!"

Chu Chu looked at him in surprise, "Why do I feel that you are more and more like Ye Jiang? Work hard towards Ye Jiang, I am optimistic about you!"

Ye Yi: "..."

Think about how he, the number one hidden guard, became a treasurer step by step?Now he still has to work hard towards that Ye Jiang. Shouldn't it be said that a hidden guard who doesn't want to trade is a good housekeeper?
"Gentlemen's paper is a complicated process. If it is printed on gentleman's paper, the remaining paper can indeed be printed for two or three days." Xiang Tian muttered, then looked up at Chuchu, and tentatively said, "Ma'am, don't you just I want to slow down the consumption of paper in the engraving workshop, so I thought of Junzijian, right?"

"Of course not. How could you miss me, your wife? Am I the kind of pushover?" Chu Chu looked innocent.

"You are."

Ye Yi and Xiang Tian spoke in unison.

neat:"……"

"Actually, the first issue of "Guowen" founded by Mr. Zhou and his friends came out. The four old gentlemen are going to entertain the literati and scholars in Beijing. They don't have many gentleman's notes in their hands. Let someone come over in the morning and ask us to print more. Some, they will use it at the banquet."

Xiang Tian: "..."

Or he didn't think deeply enough!Underestimated the thickness of the madam's skin.

People never thought that the paper in the engraving workshop would be easy to use.

"Xiang Tian, ​​then you should print more gentlemen's papers. These four old gentlemen obviously want to show off at the banquet. Such a good thing, whether it is a literati or a rich man, anyone who likes to be arty , I’m sure you all like it, and the business of our Shuxiangju will definitely be better.”

Ye Yi said excitedly, "Gentlemen's notes are so cumbersome, so the price must be higher. How about a tael of silver? Such a high price, there must not be many people who can afford it. Based on the paper we have left now, It should last for a while."

"So dark?" Xiang Tian, ​​who came from a poor background, was astonished. This gentleman note can buy three scripts, and there is still 100 taels left.

Chu Chu glanced at him, reprimanded angrily, "What black? We earn money from rich people. People with rich family backgrounds are naturally not bad. Those from poor families certainly won't. Buy such an expensive gentleman paper!"

Xiang Tian nodded, and returned to the carving workshop to stare.

Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left, reminding her every day, every day, there is no such way to remind her.

"I don't understand. Didn't you already make several batches of paper yesterday? Why didn't you take it to the engraving workshop? Instead, you sent it outside. I really sympathize with Xiang Tian. Why did he meet you? Unreliable, a boss with an elbow turned outward!"

Ye Yi complained helplessly.

"Ah Xuan's house is out of paper. It's full of wounded and sick veterans in the army. It's just some paper. Send it to them first. We can't let them stop. Let's suspend work for a day or two, but it's just It’s just a loss of money, nothing serious.”

Chu Chu explained with a smile.

"Madam Gao Yi." A rough voice came, and Ye Yi almost reflexively stood in front of Chu Chu, and felt relieved when he saw Ye Yixiao walking over with King Qi.

"I've seen the prince." Chu Chu and Ye Yixing saluted.

King Qi waved his hands in a good manner, looked at the utensils in the yard, and asked, "Are you making paper?"

Chu Chu nodded, and then heard people in the hall.

"Those two brats are really right. Madam is really well-educated, and you can't even make things difficult for you." Qi Wang stared at Chu Chu and said with a light smile.

"My lord is too famous, children just like to exaggerate." Chu Chu frowned slightly, looking at Ye Yixiao from the corner of her eyes: what's going on?

Ye Yixiao shook his head lightly, he was also King Qi whom he met on the way back.

The three of them drank tea and chatted. King Qi made indirect remarks and asked a lot about Chu Chu's youth. Thinking of Ye Yixiao's investigation before, Chu Chu had basically determined the purpose of King Qi's trip.

"I heard from Gouzi that Madam has a jade pendant similar to Gouzi. I wonder if I can take a look at it?" King Qi asked.

Chu Chu smiled slightly, "Why did the prince come here today? Isn't it just to take a look at my jade pendant?"

"Madam is really smart." King Qi smiled, "I came here today to see your jade pendant. I want to confirm whether the jade pendant on your neck is related to my eldest sister."

"My lord is refreshing." As she said that, Chu Chu directly took the jade pendant off her neck and let the girl send it over.

King Qi's hand holding the jade pendant trembled uncontrollably, and his fingers brushed over every complicated pattern on the jade pendant, his eyes couldn't help being hazy.

"Where did Madam get this jade pendant?" The upright voice just now was a little hoarse, and her eyes were tightly locked on Chu Chu, not letting go of any expression on her face.
