Chapter 1691 seeking wealth
Time passed quickly, Zhulan got a new newspaper. The new version of the newspaper was not all serialized stories, but also short stories. There were not many stories on it in total. There were no new stories selected from the author's popularity.
The story of Chen Taifei is on the home page. How can I say it? Even if Zhulan was used to reading articles in ancient times, she still felt that it was better to speak plainly. At the same time, she lamented that Chen Taifei was a talented woman.
Li didn't like story books, she was shocked by her mother-in-law to buy so many, "Mom, how many copies have you ordered?"
“Not many, twenty.”
Li, “…”
Not much? My mother-in-law ordered twenty copies separately, including those ordered by each hospital, so she ordered almost thirty copies at home, and a newspaper was not cheap.
Li thought of the price, "Why is the storytelling newspaper so expensive? One copy costs 150 words."
“Paper is expensive.”
Even if papermaking is constantly improved, the price of paper has not dropped. The paper used for newspapers is not the best. If good paper is used, it will be even more expensive.
Mrs. Li, “If you don’t have any financial resources, you can’t afford to order newspapers.”
“The future will be good.”
"I guess my daughter-in-law can't see it."
Zhulan thought that was not necessarily true. Now she couldn't read the story, so she put the newspaper down and read it when she was free, thinking about writing a post to send it to the Qi Palace, and signing is a must.
There are many comments in the story, and all the copies printed out were sold out. The subscription volume is still good. The main purchasing power, powerful and merchants, and no one in the people subscribes.
Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren held the new newspaper in his hand, and Qiu Yan was stunned, "Sir, still read the storybook?"
Zhou Shuren, “Look at it too.”
Qiu Yan shook his head, "The official doesn't like the storybook."
He rarely goes to theaters, mainly not likes it.
Zhou Shuren’s copy was not a subscriber, and it was given to him by the Propaganda Department. He took it and saw it. Not to mention that the ending is quite good, and he can learn it without a teacher.
Qiu Yan sighed, "I am really old and I can't keep up with the changes."
He never thought that the court would have so many more troops. It seemed that the court had accelerated its changes since he met Zhou Hou. He was a little helpless in the face of new things.
Zhou Shuren thought to himself that the future should be handed over to young people, "The morning court will be lively tomorrow."
Not everyone can accept changes. There are many stubborn people. Every time there is any change, they have to argue, as if they are showing their presence. He is too lazy to listen carefully.
Since the news spread, it has been a mess. Now that the newspaper has come out, I have to make trouble again, hey!
Qiu Yan smiled, "I don't have to go to the morning court tomorrow."
He doesn't want to watch this kind of excitement.
When he went to the yamen, Zhou Shuren and his fourth son came to the house. When he got off the carriage, he saw Changzhi holding the box, "What did you buy?"
Changzhi, "Dad, this is a painting that Gu Sheng gave to his son."
Zhou Shuren stretched out his hand and didn't say anything, and the meaning was very obvious.
Changzhi, “!!”
In the end, Zhou Shuren left with the box. Changzhi stood there for a long time and didn't move. He disappeared before he could see it!
Back at the main courtyard, Zhou Shuren smiled and handed the box to his wife, "I gave it to you."
"You bought it for me?"
Zhou Shuren, "I robbed."
Zhulan had already opened the box and saw that it was Hua laughing, "Who did you steal?"
"Snatch your son's."
Zhulan has seen Gu Sheng's paintings and knows Gu Sheng's words, "Gu Sheng painted them, this is for Changzhi."
"He said Gu Sheng gave him, why don't I believe it? He must have hinted."
Zhulan smiled, "It's mine now."
The next day, Gu Sheng arrived early in the Hanlin Academy. When he saw Lord Zhou hurried forward, "What do you think of Xia Guan's painting?"
Changzhi, “…”
He had never opened the box, and his father was going to go to the morning court, but he hadn't seen his father yet!
Gu Sheng felt a little sad. Don’t you like this? He spent several days painting the painting. "Sir?"
Changzhi coughed, "I haven't seen it yet."
Gu Sheng was stunned and took it home and didn't look at it? Lord Zhou had already left.
With a sneer, Zhuo Guyu came over, "You really disappointed me. I thought you wouldn't give gifts, but I didn't expect it."
Gu Sheng, “…”
He drew it clearly after getting hints!
Zhuo Guyu was in a good mood and entered the house. Gu Sheng was just like this, and the stone in his heart instantly relaxed a lot.
Changzhi didn't know his actions, which made Gu Sheng's reputation even worse. He was thinking about watching paintings at night.
In the Qi Prince's Mansion, Concubine Chen used breakfast early to wait. The first time someone asked her to sign. She answered Yang's post yesterday and knew the purpose of her visit. She didn't sleep much all night. Who is Yang? She is a strange woman who can edit books and write articles. Yang asked her to sign. This is her recognition of her!
Princess Qi sat aside. She didn't believe her mother-in-law's words. When she saw Mrs. Zhou holding the newspaper, she was silent!
Zhulan put down the newspaper and said embarrassedly: "I ordered twenty copies."
Concubine Chen smiled and narrowed her eyes, "It's okay, let alone twenty or hundreds of them."
Zhulan, “Then I order more next time.”
Concubine Chen, "Okay, I will sign as much as you order."
Zhulan thought to herself that she must order more. Now a newspaper has 150 words, and it will be many times more than before. How can the newspaper be clearly gold?
Princess Qi was very confused. She didn't believe that Mrs. Zhou held her mother-in-law in order to please her. "Why do you subscribe so much to me?"
Zhulan knew that she could not fool the two women in front of her and said bluntly: "I will keep it for my descendants."
Princess Qi felt that Mrs. Zhou Hou had a very unique idea, and then she thought that Mrs. Hou could edit and write articles, and some strange ideas could be understood.
Zhulan said to the concubine again: "Your manuscript must be sealed. I don't know that you are Mr. Yan now, what about the future? The manuscript in your hand is evidence."
Concubine Chen, "Yes, you're right."
Concubine Chen was reminded to send someone to buy the first issue of the newspaper, and she also wanted to save more, which were all evidence.
When Zhulan returned home from the Qi Palace, Li came back at the banquet. Today, he took Yuyi and Yujiao. The two girls returned to the yard to rest. Li was waiting for her in the main yard.
Zhulan, "You haven't gone back to rest, but what news did you hear?"
Li helped her mother-in-law change her clothes, "Well, news about the Duke of Yong'an."
"What surprised you?"
Li hung up the clothes that his mother-in-law changed and replied, "Duke Yong'an wants to send his granddaughter to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion. You know, I was surprised that the lady of the Duke's Mansion was engaged."
Zhulan was surprised, "That Zhuoya?"
"It's her, so my daughter-in-law was surprised."
"It's really surprising, who's the one who decided?"
Li's expression was a little hard to describe, "I decided to the Luo family."
Bamboo orchid, “…”
What the Luo family asks for is not people but wealth. The granddaughter of the Duke of Yong'an Kingdom's Mansion must have a generous dowry, and the Duke of Yong'an Kingdom's Mansion asks for support.
Li said: "The marriages of the Duke of Yong'an are all marriages."
She doesn't like the marriage of her children as a bargaining chip for trading, doesn't like the Duke of Yong'an, and doesn't have much affection for the Luo family.
Zhulan said, "interest is supreme."
