The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

Lu Yunzhou tried his best to enter the Shen family as an apprentice.

Unfortunately, he was defeated in the first session.

Because his 'life experience' was not up to par, the Shen family only accepted apprentices from Guangzhou County, who knew their roots well.

The Shen family would not accept him as a businessman from out of town.

Lu Yunzhou was surprised and at a loss. He was prepared to shock Father Shen and Yu Dayu with his excellent carpentry work during the interview, and then accept him as their disciple.

Unexpectedly, he was beaten down without even having a chance to touch the tool...

Lu Yunzhou thought that he should have failed to give gifts based on what he learned about human affairs in Chang'an City.

There is a princess in the Shen family, and there must be a lot of people coming to be apprentices. If you want to successfully enter the Shen family, you will naturally have to give heavy gifts.

Then he took out a few ingots of silver and a few gold leaves, but the gold and silver were not given away, and he was carried out of Shen's house.

He said that he had bad intentions, and it seemed that he was not someone who could live happily as an apprentice.

Lu Yunzhou decided to return to Guangzhou County first, and then find a way to sneak into the Shen family. At this moment, he met Yu Dayu who was setting up a water tanker again.

Lu Yunzhou immediately decided to change his mind. The Shen family couldn't get in, but if he could be Yu Dayu's friend, it would be much more advantageous for him to find out the information!

He trotted to keep up with Yu Dayu. After their brief meeting yesterday, Yu Dayu still remembered him.

The two chatted all the way, and when they reached the river, he started to help build the water tanker. Yu Dayu gave this job to others.

He ran towards the fields. Lu Yunzhou reluctantly put down the waterwheel and followed Yu Dayu.

Then he took him to Grandpa Shen's Lotus Pond. Together with a group of villagers, the two of them caught ducks for a day...

When it got dark, Lu Yunzhou's back and legs were so tired that he had never done such a tiring job since he left the Mo family and came to the Chen family!

What's even more annoying is that the ducks are not caught just for eating. Each of them got a duck egg for lunch and didn't even get a piece of duck meat.

The purpose of catching ducks is to pluck their feathers. If you pluck them now, the ducks will grow back before winter comes.

Lu Yunzhou asked Yu Dayu speechlessly: "What are you doing plucking duck feathers for?"

I have never heard of ducks having to be plucked! Aren't duck feathers always plucked out when the duck is killed?

Yu Dayu smiled honestly and said: "It's of great use, making clothes."

When Grandpa Shen's wages were paid, Lu Yunzhou made six cents angrily, and he also became acquainted with Yu Dayu.

The first battle at Shen's house ended in failure.

But he couldn't let the other spies know, so he had to bite the bullet and say that the progress was going very well and that he was already familiar with the Shen family.

The information the empress needs will be found in a short time.

Under the moonlight, Lu Yunzhou looked in the direction of the Shen family and the shadow of the huge waterwheel by the river, feeling like crying but without tears.

I will carry it with you! I still don’t believe it, I can’t enter the Shen family!

Before Aunt Shi went to Dianzhou, she did not forget her professionalism and sent a confidential letter to the queen.

There is only one sentence, she suspects that Shen Dongsu is connected with the hidden high family in Dianzhou.

What a meaningless sentence, that is, it didn’t mention which high-ranking secluded family in Dianzhou? What's your last name? There's no evidence.

It just so happens that such specious rumors are easier for people to believe.

Especially the queen who thought she was very smart, she decided from the beginning that Shen Dongsu was not a peasant girl.

She is a woman from a certain wealthy family, because she does not want to offend the princelings, but she also wants to support Prince Ling to ascend to power.

Then he asked his daughter to pretend to be a peasant girl and marry Ling Moxiao, and secretly helped Shen Dongsu and Ling Moxiao.

But she just couldn't find any clues about this wealthy family. Ever since Shen Dong came to Chang'an City, she had not had close contact with any family.

Just have more contact with the Jiang family, but the Jiang family is just a businesswoman, and the Liu family is a third-class noble.

She could crush the Jiang and Liu families to death with one finger, so it couldn't be them.

The people sent to the Shen family have been investigating for so long, but they haven't found any useful information.

Aunt Shi was asked to look for evidence of the witch doctor, but she found no evidence at all after the witch doctor case had been tried.

But after all, Aunt Shi was different from others. She didn't find any evidence from the witch doctor, but actually found clues about the wealthy family behind Shen Dongsu!

At the same time, this also confirms that my guess all along is correct!

How unhappy this made the Queen!

He sneered and said: "Prince Ling, Princess Ling, wait until I find out the forces behind you."

"Let's see how you still behave in front of me!"

That's what happened. When there were no clues before, the queen saw that Shen Dongsu had no flaws.

But now that she has clues, when the queen looks at Shen Dongsu, it seems that there are flaws everywhere.

In addition to formal clothes, she usually does not like to wear silk, but wears batik cotton and linen clothes.

It has even caused a trend in Chang'an, with many women wearing cotton skirts instead of silk.

This batik cotton and linen is the specialty of Dianzhou!

Well, Shen Dongsu wanted to tell her that she was just advertising the cotton textile workshop in Guangzhou in advance.

But I guess the Queen wouldn't believe what she said. A truly smart person can judge whether what others say is true or false.

And people who are a little smart but still like to pretend to be smart. But he just doesn’t believe what others say.

You must take what you have inquired about, guessed, or heard from hearsay as true.

That's what the Queen is like! In the past, the Chen family was helping her, but now the Chen family is thinking about Chen Xingyao.

The queen's information channels have narrowed, so she naturally takes all the information she finds out as true.

In addition to clothes, there is also food. Prince Ling's Mansion has introduced two new ways of eating. One is to stir-fry in an iron pot.

The second is to eat a kind of food called hot pot, where various ingredients are cooked in one pot and then eaten with the sauce you mix.

And this dipping sauce is also a common way to eat it in Dianzhou.

This person can pretend otherwise, but his clothes and taste are difficult to fake.

What others saw was that Princess Ling was leading a new fashion. What the Queen saw was that Princess Ling liked things from Dianzhou.

She is indeed from Dianzhou! Aunt Shi's information is correct, but I don't know which family she comes from?

Dianzhou was founded before. Although Daxia surrendered soon after the founding of the country, Dianzhou has always been in control of those major clans.

Gao family, Duan family, Mu family, Meng family...which family is it?

How dare you be so bold and want to get involved in the affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty!

By the way, Shen Dong is good at medicine, and Meng's family has the miracle doctor Yun Gu. Could it be that she is from Meng's family?

The queen decided to change her strategy. If Shen Dongsu was really born in the Meng family, she would have to send people to Dianzhou to find out.

Instead of staying in the small Shenjia Village, it was just a cover. She probably killed all the Shen family members, and Shen Dongsu was grateful to her for helping to silence them!

This little village girl really has ulterior motives! No, it should be said that King Ling is very scheming.

Hum, if you want to fight with me, then I will play with you!

I've copied your old skills and pulled out the firepower. Let's see what else you can do to fight me!

Furthermore, Dianzhou was slow to check the news. Before that, she could not let these two people roam freely in Changgong City.

The prince was punished and grounded by the emperor, but Prince Ling was praised by the emperor and admired by all the officials. If this continues.

It is becoming more and more obvious that my son does not have the bearing of a prince. The Crown Princess and Li Linyu are also useless.

One has a reputation for talent, and the other is the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, but they were both outdone by that little girl Shen Dongsu!

Another plan must be implemented quickly. Even if I can't kill you two, I will discredit you two!

The queen looked at her delicate fingernails and asked lightly, "Have the people from Minzhou sent it?"

The personal female officer was shocked, did the queen really want to do this?

"Go back to your Majesty, I sent you here. According to your order, I will be imprisoned in the slums of the North District."

The queen said softly: "Then follow the plan and let him go!"

The female officer's hands were shaking in her sleeves. After struggling with her thoughts for a long time, she finally said:

"Mother, if those people are released, many people will die!"

The queen sneered and said: "Dead people? How can there be no dead people in this world? There is no rooster crow for thousands of miles to the north of Youzhou."

"Across the Western Regions, is there any day when there are no horse thieves slaughtering villages? Along the coast, there are often storms, and people die in boat after boat."

"Those lowly poor people are still suffering while they are alive. If they really die for this palace's plan, it is a meritorious deed. They will be able to have a good pregnancy in the next life."

"Go down! If you dare to comment on my decision next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The female officer withdrew in tears and issued the Queen's order.

That night, a group of people with pale faces, skinny bodies, and abscesses all over their bodies crawled out of the slums.

Crawling toward the chaotic streets of the North District like a spider's web...

The weather was fine the next day. Since King Ling decided not to go to Youzhou, the emperor asked him to go to court to discuss matters.

Only then did Shen Dongsu know that he had to go to court early this year, eight people earlier than later generations, and he had to go to court at five o'clock.

She had to get up at almost three o'clock in the morning to get ready, and Nanny Ji said that when her husband goes to court in the morning, the wife should prepare clothes and refreshments for her husband.

In other words, she had to get up with Ling Moxiao, help him wash and change clothes, prepare tea and snacks, send him out, and then she should also take care of the household affairs...

Just thinking about it makes my head hurt!

Boss, you didn’t write this in the contract!

You don’t have to get up at three in the morning to do farm work in the countryside! The weather is still so cold, it’s life-threatening!

If you ask me to stay up until three o'clock, I have no problem. If you ask me to go to bed at eight o'clock in the evening and wake up at three o'clock in the morning, it's so difficult to be a human being!

Shen Dongsu can endure hardship, but considering the time difference between work, it still feels very difficult.

Fortunately, Ling Moxiao, the contract husband, was very considerate.

She directly said that she was busy with clay printing every night and stayed up late. And when he went to court in the morning, he didn't need her help.

So she just slept peacefully and didn't have to worry about morning affairs.

If it weren't for the fear of gossip, Shen Dongsu would have said that we might as well sleep in separate rooms.

However, Ling Mo Xiao did not wake her up when he went to court every day. Several times, she slept until Ling Mo Xiao came back from court and called her up to have breakfast together.

She didn't have the nerve to bring up sleeping in separate rooms. In order to live up to Ling Moxiao's thoughtfulness, she really didn't take any chances.

She put a lot of effort into experimenting with the clay printing process, and after the seventy-sixth failure, she finally produced smooth, smooth clay that would not crack.

When she arranged and combined dozens of pieces of clay into the first page of a thousand-character text, and printed the first piece of paper.

She wasn't even too excited, as if success was expected and just a matter of time.

When Ling Moxiao saw it, he was extremely excited. Although he showed excitement, his eyes were deep and his teeth were clenched, revealing a well-defined jawline.

The joints of the hand holding the piece of paper turned white. The look in Shen Dongsu's eyes seemed to melt her into those two deep pools.

Others may not be able to see it, but Shen Dongsu can see it. This expression means that our Highness, Prince Ling, is excited, very excited, and can't hide his excitement!

She couldn't help but feel a little stumped. She chuckled and tilted her head and asked, "How's it going? I keep my word, right? I said I'd make it for you, and I made it!"

Ling Mo Xiao stepped forward suddenly and hugged her into his arms.

He hugged her for a long time, and she seemed to be sinking into the water, and her breathing became heavier.

"Dongsu, thank you!"

It's okay that he didn't thank him. The atmosphere changed with this thank you. Shen Dongsu smiled dryly and said:

"Thank you in advance. It hasn't been printed into a book yet. This is just one page."

"Besides, this is what we agreed on, so you're welcome."

Ling Moxiao let her go, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "That's right, there is no need to say thank you between us husband and wife."

After saying this, Shen Dongsu turned red instantly, turned his head and waved his hands:

"Then you'd better thank me!"

Ling Moxiao couldn't help laughing and praised sincerely: "My wife is really a lucky star for her husband!"

Shen Dongsu became even more embarrassed: "Don't say that! We are mutually beneficial."

"My lord, are you busy today? Don't you have to deal with official business in Youzhou?"

As he spoke, he pushed Ling Mo Xiao away: "You go and do your work first! Let's talk again after printing a book."

As long as you are successful at the beginning, the rest will be simple. The main thing is to test the service life of the clay and the issues of ink and paper.

But compared to the first step, these were minor problems. Three days later, Shen Dongsu took a printed volume of a thousand-character text and formally showed it to Ling Moxiao.

He will write the book cover, with a thousand-character text on the front and a seal on the back, published by Prince Ling's Mansion.

She said happily: "The service life of a piece of clay is about a hundred times. Currently, we can only print page by page manually. Once I improve the machine, I will invent an automatic printing machine sooner or later."

Ling Moxiao asked: "How many days does it take to print such a book?"

Shen Dongsu said with an attitude of 'Who are you looking down on?': "It won't take a few days! Assembly line operation, one machine prints one page."

“It’s not a problem to print three or fifty copies a day!”

Ling Moxiao immediately went to the room where she was conducting experiments to watch the printing process and watch her arrange and combine the clay engraved with single characters.

Brush on the ink, cover with paper, press down the plate, take out the paper, and one page is printed. Compared with stone engraving, this printing speed is simply heaven and earth!

Ling Moxiao immediately told Jia Si that the printing workshop was built in the mansion and kept strictly confidential!

Looking at the ink on his hand, Shen Dongsu, who even had a little ink on his face, had frizz on the edges of his hair.

She looks like a little raccoon cat. Ling Moxiao likes it no matter how he looks at it. My wife is pregnant with a huge treasure!

If an ordinary person invented this printing process, he could exchange it with the imperial court for a lower-ranking title!

So he raised his hand, gently wiped away the ink on Shen Dongsu's face with his fingertips, and asked softly:

"My wife wants to exchange this printing technology for what?"

Shen Dongsu's cheeks were red when he was rubbed by his slightly cold fingers, and her heart felt warm. When he heard what he said, she said something psychologically:

"It makes you happy."
