22 Hou Hou paper continues to ferment(1/2)
After the lunch, Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu returned to Yuyuan.
Chu Tianxiu was busy figuring out his papers with Zuer, making excellent paper books, ready to write them by himself.
Li Yu and Di'er were in the study.
The papermaking workshop is working hard to start construction, and the subsequent batches of Hunhou paper have been sent to Yuyuan continuously. Except for the earliest small batch of paper that was sent to Xiaozhulin to fill in the thatched cottage. The remaining amount is too much and they are all stocked up in the free wing room of Yuyuan.
Xiao Hunhou gave her dozens of kilograms of paper.
The paper in her hand was so worried that she couldn't use it.
Li Yu was curious and even secretly shyly to try it out to see how useful it was. Whether he was really as enthusiastic as Confucian scholars, he left the small bamboo forest in order to seek a piece of paper.
It's really easy to use and extremely comfortable.
Husband is really a person who knows how to enjoy it!
""poetry""
"The doves are singing in the river island. A graceful gentleman and a lady are good friends!"
Li Yu used a sharp brush and tried it on paper.
A line of beautiful small characters in mosquito and fly script fell on the light pink Huohou paper, and the writing was extremely smooth and comfortable. There was no sign of blurred ink spreading.
Di'er lay down beside him and looked at him, her eyes wide open in disbelief, and was extremely surprised, "So beautiful! The princess's handwriting, coupled with this light pink paper, is like a dream. Di'er never thought that paper books can be written so beautifully!"
Li Yu felt very happy.
Zuer said that in order to make her like it, Xiaohunhou specially added plum blossoms to the pulp and made it into pink paper, which smelled the light fragrance.
With this intention, she did not disappoint her spending the five thousand taels of silver.
"During this period, I copied all the bamboo slips of "Poetry", "Spring and Autumn Annals", "Six Strategies" and "Sun Wu" on the bookshelf in paper books. I guess I can write them until New Year's Eve. I will no longer have to hold those bamboo slips weighing a few pounds to read, and my hands will be sore after reading the volume."
Li Yu rubbed his jade wrist and said with a smile.
"Prince, we have too much paper. Even if we finish writing all the bamboo slips on the bookshelf, we can't use much paper. There are so many that we can't use, but my son-in-law insists on taking them out to sell them in the book slip shop. The workshop produces a lot, and all the papers made are piled in the wing room, almost filling up the wing room."
Di'er was worried.
Li Yu thought for a while, and put a stack of hundreds of pieces of papers in the marquis and said, "Di'er, you send this stack of papers to Princess Xiang Ling.
Last time I asked her to say a few good words to the emperor for his husband so that he could succeed in his official career. I don’t know how things were going.
I haven't thanked me yet, and there is no suitable gift. She will definitely like these new papers that are rare things that cannot be seen on the market."
"That's right, this paper is so beautiful, who doesn't like it! It's snowing these days, and I'm stuck in the mansion and have nothing to do. The princess is just writing with new paper, which is amazing."
Di'er nodded with a smile, immediately went to Princess Xiang Ling's mansion, and sent the newly released stack of husband papers over.
Princess Xiang Ling really liked these husky papers very much.
But Di'er was strangely a little bit complicated.
...
The thatched cottage in the small bamboo forest of the Prince Ping's Mansion was directly detained by King Ping's Li Rong personally ordered it to avoid the reputation of the Prince Ping's Mansion.
When the Confucian scholars and scholars in Jinling City heard the news, they suddenly felt a terrible terror.
Although they scolded Xiao Hunhou's playboy style and regarded such extravagant style as the target of struggle and criticism.
But they can at least get a piece of Huohou paper in the small bamboo forest thatched cottage for free, try out how useful this new paper is.
Now, the thatched cottage was locked up by the prince in anger and could not even get one.
This is miserable.
There is no Huohou paper sold on the entire market, and they can't even get a piece of paper. I don't know how to get Huohou paper again.
Those who scolded Xiao Hunhou disappeared instantly.
Previously, the number of Huohou papers brought out from the small bamboo forest by some Confucian scholars was about one or two hundred pieces, and the price of which was speculated soared, and even thirty or forty cents of copper coins could not be bought.
Many Confucian scholars have seen the Hunhou Paper with their own eyes and know how outstanding this new paper is. Although it is expensive, it is worth the money.
The hard-to-find paper of the Hunhou paper is becoming more and more famous, and it almost spread throughout Jinling City.
Even the ladies in the major families and official residences heard about this and were extremely curious. They didn't write, but... they wanted to use it.
The ladies sent their trusted maids and nannies to the Pingwang Mansion to ask for papers.
There is no need to sell it on the market, but there must be still papers for the Hunhou in Pingwang Mansion.
They have their own ways, not going to the front door, but to the back door. Through the old maid of the Pingwang Mansion, they look for Zuer and Di'er from Yuyuan. Isn't there any paper?
It can be seen that it is not a piece of paper, the key is to find the right person.
The princesses, county lords, and young ladies from the various mansions in Jinling City, who had some friendship with Li Yu, sent people directly to ask for the princess.
As long as you give enough money, there is always a way to get the paper.
Get the Hunhou paper from the Prince Ping's Mansion and come back to try it out. The ladies and ladies all sighed, "Little Hunhou is indeed the top man in the world. It's hard to believe that he actually used such excellent incense paper to wipe away the filth!"
"The best playboy in Jinling, I deserve it!"
"Tsk! Xiao Hunhou, this playboy... is so good at enjoying it, let's enjoy it too."
The surprise talks between the ladies of various families even spread to the palace. Even the noble concubines and concubines in the palace sent palace maids to Pingwang Mansion to buy paper.
They don’t even bargain, they just buy one hundred or one hundred.
...
King Ping Li Rong recently went to the Taiwei Mansion to handle military affairs, which was a little annoying and a little inexplicable.
I don’t know where the bureaucrats of the Taiwei Mansion and the small officials came to inquire about the news that the paper of the Duke of the Prince’s Mansion was very useful.
They found him privately and asked to buy some Hunhou paper to write... not many, only a few dozen or a hundred.
They are all officials in the same dynasty, or colleagues, and they ask for a visit to the door for the sake of paper, so he can't refuse.
oops!
Look at them, they are just a few pieces of papers of hunchbacks, which is not a big deal. They are so eager to be so eager. Tomorrow he will send someone to ask the son-in-law if he wants to come.
This is really a troublesome thing!
The corners of the prince's mouth couldn't help but lift.
...
This day.
Xie Lingyun came to Pingwang Mansion again and came to ask for his aunt Xie Liyuan.
"Nephew, I'm here to find my aunt this time, and I want to ask some unconscious paper to make books... This paper book is really too convenient. I'll go to discuss with other scholars and don't have to take heavy and inconvenient bamboo slips. It's very beneficial for my nephew to study."
Xie Lingyun blushed a little.
He once visited the royal palace and went to the thatched cottage in Xiaozhulin to get one. He took it back and wrote it, which was amazing. But one was not enough.
The bamboo slips in his study were piled up into small hills, and it would take at least a few hundred pieces of dark marquis paper to be enough for it.
The second wife was upset when she heard this and looked embarrassed.
Over the past few days, she has refused many people who have sought various relationships and ways to ask her for help.
It is not difficult to get out of the paper.
The problem is that she had just had a secret battle with Li Yu and Xiaohunhou in the past few days, and she didn't want to be so proud that she went to Xiaohunhou to ask for papers.
But Xie Lingyun is the nephew who has the best relationship with her in the Xie family, and she is also the first talented poet of Jinling who is quite optimistic about.
The second wife pondered for a moment and asked, "I heard from the servant that a new paper in the Shen Mansion has also recently released, called Shen's paper, which is being sold, and it is only five cents of copper coins. Why don't you buy some Shen's paper for use?"
It's all paper, I think it's not much different.
"I have seen that the Shen paper is just the hemp paper from the past. It has been slightly improved. It is too crude and has a very different quality. My nephew... still wants to use the Hunhou paper!"
Xie Lingyun hurriedly complained.
He often had to go out to discuss literature with other family members and officials in Jinling City.
A group of scholars each took beautiful white papers.
Only Xie Lingyun was holding a roll of yellowed, rough Shen's paper in his hand?
Is he still shameless?
Can the Xie family afford to lose this person?
Shen’s paper is five-text copper coins, and Hunhou’s paper is twenty-text copper coins, and there are only a few copper coins. He is thinking about the beauty of Hunhou’s paper, but he is not stingy with these few coppers.
Otherwise, others would think that he was a clan of the Xie family and the grandson of the prime minister, so poor that he had no money to buy paper.
"Forget it, go back, my aunt sends someone to send you some papers."
The second wife thought about it and knew that face was of great importance to the children of the Xie family and must not fall behind. She sighed.
In order to facilitate the study of the nephew of the Xie family, they will not lose face in front of the families and the children of officials.
She could only put down her second wife's face and sent the Qiandao Manager to Yuyuan to find Xiaohunhou, all of which were a little paper for Hunhou.
