A few days later, the Bai family's blue and white porcelain began to pour into the Bai family's shops. The jade-colored porcelain of various shapes attracted many people's attention. The price was slightly higher than that of celadon and white porcelain, but it was acceptable. Many

All the wealthy families placed orders one after another.

In addition, soaps, soaps, mosquito repellent water are also selling well. Rich gentry and powerful families have begun to compete for purchases, which has led to the Bai family's turnover continue to rise and its momentum is huge.

At the same time, the Lu family, Pan family, Yu family, Han family and other big families also helped promote and sell Bai family products, making the business of green and white porcelain and soap better and immediately covered the Runzhou market.

The family that had been close to the Ding family was depressed at this time. They offended the Bai family and turned around to reconcile. However, the order of the Qingbai porcelain had to wait for a long time before it was their turn, and the discount was also higher than that of other families.

, For example, the Lu family, the Pan family is less.

"It's all the Ding family that hurts people a lot. I've said that I can crush the Bai family this time, but I didn't expect that the Bai family will become more prosperous. There are several new products, and they are all sold in the city."

"The Ding family's business has shrunk by more than half. Let's see how they survive this level!"

"Hmph, it's all the Ding family who has nothing to do to find trouble. In the past, Ding Bai and his family did not interfere and were in peace. Now, the Ding family is going to stab the hornet's nest by themselves, and they deserve to be stung."

Some merchants were talking behind their backs, damaging the Ding family's actions and dragging them all into the water, causing some losses and complaining.

In short, the rise of the Bai family is unstoppable.

In addition to this incident, Xiangyun Pavilion's West Chamber has been growing popularity since its performance. Now the drama is about to end, and the audience is full of midnight and night scenes.

The first and second floors of Xiangyun Pavilion are all overcrowded, watching the wonderful scenes of the opera approaching the ending.

There are more scholars, scholars and young masters who go to Xiangyun Pavilion every day, and they choose Xiangyun Pavilion to treat guests to dinner, which has led to a sharp drop in guests from the other three flower buildings of the same level, which has become much depressed.

It is said that the shopkeepers and behind-the-scenes financial owners of Cuiwei Pavilion, Tongque Tower, and Hongxiufang are also looking for talented people in Runzhou to write such opera stories, but temporary copycat imitation does not have the essence or the key points, and they are dull and weak, and they are still as follows: the West Chamber.

No comparison!

Hongxiufang, in a loft in the side courtyard.

The three major actresses Fu Chan'er, Qiu Zhilan and Su Xiaowan gathered again to discuss how to fight against Liu Mo Nong.

Su Xiaowan was seventeen years old, and her voice was as crisp as an oriole: "Two sisters, if this continues, Liu Moonang's popularity will be high. Maybe she will have earned enough reputation and reputation until the Mid-Autumn Festival Courtesan Competition. We will be here this year.

But there is no need to compare anything, I will just be at a disadvantage."

Fu Chan'er snorted coldly: "Liu Mo Nong is lucky. She got the West Chamber script from Su Yixuan, the number one talented man in Jiangzuo. If it is in our hands, it will also become popular. However, she only has this one.

After the West Chamber is performed, the popularity will gradually decline. In two or three months, perhaps the people of Runzhou and scholars will gradually forget it.”

Qiu Zhilan sighed softly: "As long as Su Yixuan no longer appears and does not write a new opera essay book for Liu Mo Nong, we will not be afraid!"

Su Xiaowan sighed and said, "I don't know where Mr. Su lives? Why is there no movement? If you can see him, buy a book from him at a high price. We can also perform at the same time.

The limelight will be suppressed."

"I don't know if Liu Mo Nong would use other means to persuade Mr. Su Yixuan?" Qiu Zhilan murmured to herself.

Fu Chan'er laughed and said, "Like that young man who is talented is not sure he is a romantic talent. Liu Mo Nong has probably been with him or promised to return the popularity after he turned over, and recommended himself to repay the pillow mat."

Su Xiaowan looked obsessed, holding her cheeks with both hands, and sighed: "We have never had the chance to see this Su Caizi. It's a pity! I don't know if there is any rumor that is romantic and beautiful, just like Pan An.

Even the noble girl Xu Cainu has been obsessed with it. A few days ago, she sent people everywhere to inquire about the whereabouts of Su Yixuan's talented man, and even surrendered to the noble family several times to visit the merchant Bai Mansion and ask Bai Susu."

The actresses in the Tongque Tower have always been little fairies who fascinated those men. At this time, they looked like a little fan, which made Fu Chan'er and Qiu Zhilan laugh and cry.

Fu Chan'er shook her head and teased, "Don't be crazy about being a flower-in-law. Even if Su Yixuan is talented, he has never heard that he should be a minor talent in the imperial examination school. Moreover, I don't believe that he can create opera scripts like the West Chamber.

One of the same quality!”

"That's right, after Liu Mo Nong's performance, we can still find a way to suppress her."

At this moment, the maid Yu'er ran into the room, panting, and said to Fu Chan'er: "Miss, it's not good. Today, the maid went to Xiangyun Pavilion to watch the scene of the West Chamber. Before the end, the Liuhuadan

He actually released a message saying that in May, Xiangyun Pavilion will launch a new drama "Peony Pavilion", which is not as exciting as the West Chamber, and it is also a drama book written by Su Yixuan himself!”

"Ah?" The three actresses were all stunned.

………

Runzhou Han Mansion.

Han Xizai set up a private banquet in the mansion and served as the capital's transportation commander. Gao Yuan, the Ministry of Revenue, practiced it. No one was with him, and only the two of them drank and chatted.

"Old Han, Mr. Gao will return to Jinling tomorrow to report. I wonder what Mr. Han said or wrote a letter to us to convey it to our housekeeper?"

Gao Yuan did not forget the explanation given to him by the Tang monarch Li Yu before leaving, asking him to visit Han Xizai and convey the official's intention to ask Han Xizai to return to Beijing to reinstate his post. He could choose the position of the six ministers.

Most of the six ministers have empty positions, and generally do not care about specific matters. Those with high moral character and respectable positions are assigned to the position. The left and right ministers are in charge of the work in daily specific matters, among which the left minister is the chief minister and the right minister is the second.

Before dismissal, Han Xizai was the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He can be said to be a real power department and is in charge of the finances of the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan. It is precisely because of this that he witnessed the increasingly empty treasury, the burden on the people increased, the gradually decreasing taxes, and the decline of national strength, which made Han Xizai discouraged.

, he was not calm enough in the court, and because of the change of minting coins, he argued with Yan Xu, the prime minister of the new party, in front of the imperial court.

At that time, Han Xizai got angry and became more extreme. He was ruthless and said harshly, and was impeached by the censor. He also lost his face in his words. Then he was dismissed from his official position and came to his home in Runzhou to recuperate.

However, Li Yu knew that Han Xizai's three dynasties were a rare and important minister in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, after a few months, Li Yu felt regretful and sent officials from the Sun Party to Runzhou to explore the situation and conveyed his holy wishes, intending to invite Han Xizai back to Beijing.

The official was restored to his post and continued to share political affairs for the court.

At this moment, Han Xizai hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to return to Beijing and re-officials, but the Ministry of Revenue is too tired. Han is old and plans to go to a leisurely department. Just choose the Ministry of Personnel. By the way,

Be responsible for the autumn examination and spring examination. After you return to Jinling, you can enter the palace to meet the official family. If you agree to be the Minister of Personnel and be responsible for this year's tribute imperial examination, I can return to Beijing."

In fact, during the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was always presided over by the Ministry of Personnel. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, a famous "two Li dispute" in the history of the imperial examination occurred. After this incident, the imperial examination reformed the imperial examination, and then the imperial examination was

The presiding task was handed over to the Ministry of Rites.

However, in the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there were several examples of the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Rites taking turns to preside over the imperial examinations. In a few years, it was just about to be the Minister of Personnel.
