Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi
Chapter 479 Monkey Brother Liang Han [Thank you! Goodbye! 37k more to go]
"Good work!"
Mrs. Qin Yanwen sat on the chair and bowed.
"What are you talking about, madam!"
As he spoke, Chai Zhengzheng gestured to Ziteng who was standing at the top of the stairs.
Ziteng understood and bowed before going downstairs.
After a while,
The store steward was led upstairs again.
"Master!"
Looking at the steward who bowed and bowed, Chai Zhengzheng smiled and said, "Have we received the only copy of "Nan Yue Guang Ji" in our store?"
The steward stood up straight, thought for a moment with a look full of memories, his eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said: "Go back to my boss! I have received this book! I remember that this unique copy also has the monogram of the former Ruyang Marquis Bao family. !”
Mrs. Qin looked at her mother at the side calmly.
The store manager continued: "This book describes the appearance and habits of some South Vietnamese animals, and there are also pictures. It is a good idea to understand the scenery of South Vietnam."
Chai Zhengzheng nodded and said, "Where is this book now?"
"When I returned to my employer, like the other orphan copies, they were sent to the engraving workshop of my home's bookshop to be engraved and ready for printing and sale! Yes."
The steward pondered for a moment: "It has been three months since I sent it to the bookstore. At this time, the formalization should have ended and printing has started."
"Send someone to get it." Chai Zhengzheng said.
"yes."
"Ms. Qin, you have to wait a little longer. Why don't we listen to music together."
"It's really troublesome, girl." Qin Yanwen stood up and said in a sincere tone, while bowing to her mother and Chai Zhengzheng.
"Madam, you're welcome, please sit down!"
After Chai Zhengzheng finished speaking with a smile, he gestured.
The sound of pipa sitting behind the screen on the second floor rang again.
Fuyi, who was standing next to Chai Zhengzheng, lowered his body to his girl's side, listened to a few instructions and walked off.
After a while, Fuyi came over with a pile of books sold in Sibaozhai, and put them on the table beside Mrs. Qin with a smile.
For more than half an hour,
The little girl next to Qin Yanwen gradually relaxed. Accompanied by Zi Teng and Xiang's mother, she sometimes read a book on the second floor and sometimes watched Wei Fang play the pipa.
"Xu~"
The sound of Chai Zhengzheng's guard reining in his horse came from downstairs.
soon,
The healthy woman of the Chai family walked up holding a stack of books that smelled of ink.
Chai Zhengzheng, who was sitting behind the table, stretched out his hand to signal, and the female servant Ziteng who took the book first placed a new book on Qin Yanwen's table.
Qin Yanwen touched the cover of the new book, looked at the four words "Nan Yue Guang Ji" on it, exhaled, and stood up: "Miss Zhengzheng, that little woman is leaving!"
"Madam, walk slowly!"
"Wan'er, let's go."
Qin Yanwen said to her daughter.
Chai Zhengzheng sent people downstairs. Qin Yanwen left the shop and got on the carriage, nodding towards Chai Zhengzheng again.
Chai Zhengzheng also nodded, and the female envoys beside her returned the favor.
The Tan family's carriage drove away,
Yunmu followed Chai Zhengzheng upstairs.
Ziteng on the side whispered: "Sister Yunmu, this lady also took two collections of poems by Empress Li and a chess book, but she didn't even give it to her."
Yunmu glared at Ziteng.
Wisteria quickly shut her mouth.
"My lord, I won't be short of so much money! Madam Qin is doing this today out of love and knows that she can pay it back without giving her money. When you say this, doesn't it seem like we have to spend every penny?"
Ziteng nodded repeatedly: "Sister, I understand, and I won't talk nonsense anymore."
evening,
Chai family,
Autumn Sound Garden.
in the hall,
Fuyi and Ziteng held up a piece of clothing together, looked at Chai Zhengzheng who was sitting opposite, and said, "Girl, we are going to the polo club tomorrow, do you want to take this piece of clothing with you?"
Chai Zhengzheng hesitated and said: "It looks a bit too gorgeous."
Ziteng said: "Girl, this autumn is already a bit lonely. If you wear something too plain, it won't show your complexion."
Fuyi nodded repeatedly.
"Then take it with you!" Chai Zhengzheng nodded.
The two female servants folded their clothes carefully, and Yun Mu came in holding a wooden box:
"Girl, it was sent from Madam's courtyard. It was said to be a thank-you gift from the Tan family of Duke Anguo. It has been checked and there is nothing wrong with it."
"Open it and take a look!" Chai Zhengzheng smiled.
Hearing this,
Zi Teng paused in folding her clothes, and after winking at Fu Yi, she moved towards Chai Zhengzheng and Yun Mu.
After seeing Wisteria coming over, Yun Mu opened the wooden box on the table next to Chai Zhengzheng and took out a few shabby books.
"Old books?" Ziteng asked doubtfully.
Yunmu shook his head and replied: "A rare and unique copy."
Chai Zhengzheng looked at the lone copy in his hand and nodded with emotion.
Yunmu looked at Chai Zhengzheng's fond look and said, "Girl, I have heard before that the older generation of Dongchang Hou was fond of elegance and loved to collect antiques and original books. In addition, the eldest daughter of the Qin family was married in a glamorous manner. Empty, just a shiny shell.”
"In recent years, the contemporary Marquis of Dongchang has secretly sold a lot of things. I didn't expect that Mrs. Qin would still have some in stock."
Chai Zhengzheng looked at the lone copy in his hand, nodded and said: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Dongchang Marquis Mansion is even more impressive."
Putting down the original copy and closing the wooden box, Chai Zhengzheng said: "After letting the bookstore finalize the book, send back the original copy and the complete set of new editions to Mrs. Qin, along with 30% of the profit from the sale of the first edition."
"Yes, girl."
Looking at Yunmu who was about to go out, Chai Zhengzheng said again:
"That's right! After His Majesty's birthday, the Northern Liao envoys will leave. They want to buy nine sets of Tripitaka, so the bookstore should be more urgent and don't delay."
Yun Mu finally walked out.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty,
The profit from selling books is very high. Generally, a printed book that costs a lot can be sold for five yuan; a book that costs two yuan can be sold for about eight yuan.
The Tripitaka mentioned by Chai Zhengzheng is a Buddhist book that took more than ten years to be carved in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The book has thousands of volumes and about 48 million words. A set of it would cost nearly ten thousand words. It is up to you to think how close to ten thousand it is.
What the Chai family owned was the second edition of the engravings, a complete set of engravings. Only the Imperial College and the Chai family had them in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Bei Liao worshiped Buddhism very much, and all Buddhist temples regarded the enshrinement of the Tripitaka as their great honor. How much these nine sets of scriptures could be sold for in Bei Liao depended on each temple in Bei Liao. The strength of the temple is gone.
On the second day,
The hour is right (nine o'clock in the morning)
The sun is shining,
West of the city,
Lady Wu Polo Ground
Because the Queen is here to watch the game,
So today, the tall Wu Tower on the side has been closed by the imperial army, and no one can go upstairs.
The curtains on the stadium tent were replaced, the decorations were cleaned, and there were many bright flowers placed around it.
Outside the wall in the direction of each tent, there was no one in the trees.
Because the place was already full of guards with guns and knives, you couldn't get close easily.
There were no Imperial Guards standing guard outside the wall in the other direction, but there were cavalry on guard, and there were many people sitting on the trees "watching the game."
Looking at the shiny silk and satin clothing from a distance, I imagined that the trees were filled with members of the wealthy family who used to watch the games in Wu Tower.
There was a row of forbidden troops standing inside the wall.
In the huge tent that opens up the middle and both sides,
The floor is covered with exquisite carpets,
Surrounded by guards, chamberlains and female officials,
The current queen is sitting on an exquisite Arhat chair, and the young Zhao Fang is sitting next to her. There are several plates of fruit on the table next to her. There were chairs on both sides of the queen facing the polo field. Some of the chairs were empty, and some were occupied. The people sitting there were all the first and second-rank lords of the court and the eldest ladies of high officials' families.
The people on both sides and in the tent further away were also arranged from high to low according to their rank.
However, what is slightly different from previous polo matches is that
Regardless of the official position or lordship, most ladies today attended with young girls under the age of fifteen.
"Mother, Mrs. Shen's wife is here with her daughter and Zhen."
The chief internal officer on the side held the fly whisk and bowed and said.
"Quick announcement."
The queen said with a smile, and glanced at Zhao Fang who was standing aside.
Following the call from the chief minister, a noble lady came over soon with a girl.
"See you, Your Highness."
The mother and daughter gave a blessing ceremony together.
"Madam, please sit down."
The queen said with a smile.
"Thank you, empress."
After the two of them bowed again, Mrs. Shen sat down on the chair under the guidance of the female officer, while Shen and Zhen sat on the embroidered pier behind them.
After sitting down, Mrs. Shen smiled at the eldest lady of Huangfu Shangshu's family beside her: "Sister, has it been a smooth journey along the way?"
Talking
Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded at the several duchess, ladies and marquises who looked across.
Following the call from the chief minister, the tent was soon filled with people.
There are also ladies who come to the tent to greet the queen and then go directly to other tents.
"Mother, all the polo-playing boys from the Bei Liao Mission are here."
After hearing the words of the chief minister,
Zhao Fang's eyes lit up, he raised his chin slightly and looked outside.
"Xuan."
In the call of the chief minister,
The Lulong Zhao family, Changping Liu family and other Northern Liao family members came over together.
After standing still, several people bowed and said in unison: "I have met the Queen of Zhou and His Royal Highness."
"A few of them are flat!"
The Beiliao people straightened up, and the queen smiled and said: "You guys are really young heroes! I look forward to watching a wonderful polo match today."
"We will definitely try our best to live up to the Queen's expectations."
"good!"
Hearing this, the chief minister on the side shook his fly whisk and said, "Guys, please recharge your batteries here."
When the Northern Liao people left,
The chief minister shouted again: "Xuan, the Jin envoy is approaching."
soon,
A group of young men with strong temperament walked up to the big tent.
Zhao Fang looked at the Jin countryman with quite curious eyes.
After the Jin envoys saluted,
The queen's smile became even more amiable, and she said: "Dazhou and Jin are allies. I heard that you and Beiliao each had a few injuries when you played with each other two days ago! You must be careful today and don't injure yourself."
The Jin envoys bowed and responded in unison.
After Zhao Fang followed the Jin people and left, he turned his head and glanced at the senior internal official standing aside. The senior internal official smiled, shook his head at Zhao Fang, and whispered: "Your Highness, the next ones are the Han Gong family and Ling Guo Gong's family. "
Zhao Fang nodded.
soon,
In the call of the chief minister,
Han Chengyun came over with Lu Sanlang, who was wearing a hairpin with flowers, a forehead wipe, a waistband, a hair guard, and others like him.
Looking from a distance, Han Chengyun and others had fair faces, red lips and white teeth.
As we got closer, we could see clearly that the brothers in the duke's mansion seemed to have lightly applied powder and slightly traced their lips.
"I have met the empress, Your Highness, ladies and gentlemen."
Several people bowed.
Not only in the queen's tent, but also in other tents nearby, there were ladies and ladies looking at a few people.
Among the girls from various families who followed, some shook their heads in disgust, some whispered in admiration, and some asked about which family one of them belonged to.
Looking at the people outside the tent,
The Queen smiled and said: "You children, be careful on the field, there are so many people watching!"
"Yes, concubine!"
After speaking, the queen looked at Zhao Fang who was standing aside.
Zhao Fang stood up from the Arhat chair and said with a smile: "I heard that you guys are good at polo when I was in the palace. I want to show you today."
Han Chengyun smiled at the corners of his mouth and hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Thank you for your attention, Your Highness. We will definitely work hard to win."
"Okay! Go!"
Zhao Fang smiled and nodded.
Waiting to leave from the queen's tent,
Han Chengyun and the others looked at each other happily. After walking for more than ten steps, they just turned around and were about to walk into the tent prepared for them when they heard a call from the chief minister coming from near the queen's tent.
What followed was a burst of discussion in the surrounding tents.
Han Chengyun and others looked sideways,
I happened to see Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and Liang Han walking towards the big tent.
"Hmph! Bad luck!"
As he spoke, Han Chengyun walked into the tent.
The curtains around the queen's tent were originally hung.
Mrs. Gaoming, the eldest lady and the girls in the tent could see several people walking over from a distance.
As a marquis, Madam Marquis Fuchang also sat in the queen's tent.
She turned her head and looked at Xu Zaijing and others who were walking in the sunshine outside the big tent. Madam Xuanmen Hou, who was at the same side in confusion, said: "Sister, I looked at the children who came over. They are stronger than the ones just now!"
Mrs. Xuanmenhou smiled politely and nodded.
Mrs. Chai, who was sitting not far from the Queen, also smiled and turned her head, looking at Xu Zaijing and other visitors with great satisfaction. While looking, she also glanced at the tent where her daughter was sitting.
While looking at her tent, Mrs. Chai also saw the owner of the polo ground sitting next to her, Madam Wu. Madam Wu was looking anxiously at her son Liang Han, who was among Xu Zaijing's group.
Bai turned her head and saw Mrs. Wu's expression. Then Bai looked proudly and happily at Sun, who was also smiling.
I don’t blame Mrs. Wu for worrying about her son Liang Han.
In fact, Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye were seventeen or eighteen years old. For more than ten years since they were young, they had practiced martial arts diligently every morning regardless of rain or snow, and the nutrition of the Hou family could keep up.
Therefore, Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye are not only tall but also well-proportioned and strong.
However, the two of them studied at Sheng's house every day and were often indoors without sunlight. This also made their skin complexion very fair, and they were full of elegance after winning the election.
The two of them have the nobility cultivated by the sons of the Marquis family who grew up in a wealthy family.
Coupled with the youthful vigor under the sun,
Although there are no hairpin flowers,
However, their hair was neatly combed, their foreheads were tied in bright colors, and their luxurious clothes tied at the waist showed off their figures.
You can tell at a glance that he is a good boy from Bianjing!
The temperament is not a bit better than that of Han Chengyun and others who just wore hairpins and applied powder.
Compared to his appearance and skin color, Gu Tingye is only slightly different.
But because he and Xu Zaijing had different growth experiences and had never seen battles, life and death, the difference in temperament between Gu Tingye and Xu Zaijing was a bit big.
This also makes Xu Zaijing stand out among the others, with an outstanding appearance and temperament that can be noticed at a glance.
And Liang Han,
younger,
I don’t exercise much,
Standing next to Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye, they are not only a little short but also a little thin, jumping around happily like a monkey.
Today there are many noble girls from various families who are about the same age as Liang Han.
How will Liang Han find a wife from now on?
How could Mrs. Wu not be anxious?
After finishing worrying, Mrs. Wu turned around and sighed resignedly. Seeing Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Sun smiling proudly, Mrs. Wu bitterly tapped the two of them with her fingers.
The queen naturally looked at Xu Zaijing and the others with admiration and emotion,
Zhao Fang, who was beside the queen, couldn't hold back his lips at all, and his eyes were filled with the look of 'He is worthy of being the Hao Jing brother who saved the orphan and brought him out of the palace'.
While thinking about this, Zhao Fang glanced a few times in the direction of the Rong family and the Chai family, and the smile on his face became even wider.
