Poor family mother and son

If there is no such thing as Mr. Yong'an, just Xiaobao and Chu Yuan are regarded as equals, then my daughter and Chu Xinghai are considered to be of the same generation, but now with Mr. Yong'an's righteous son, Chu Xinghai and himself are of the same generation. that's it.

You Zhenghang was surprised by the fact that Chu Qing recognized his adopted son, because in his perception, Chu Yuan should be Chu Qing's servant, how could a master recognize a servant's child as his adopted son?

When he didn't know what to think, there was a knock on the door, and Si'er came in and said something in Chu Xinghai's ear. Chu Xinghai looked at You Zhenghang: "Did you see the emperor during your palace examination?"

You Zhenghang: "Naturally."

Chu Xinghai: "You follow me."

The two came out of the private room, hid in the corner of the third floor and looked down. Three people walked through the hall and were about to go upstairs. Chu Xinghai asked, "Which one is it?"

You Zhenghang was shocked: "Ah...the one in the middle!"

Why is the emperor here?Does the emperor come here often?
Chu Xinghai dragged You Zhenghang back to the private room, and took out a stack of promotional coloring pages and a discount card from the cabinet, which were the same as those received by the emperor, and handed them to You Zhenghang: "You take these for you. Colleagues, come and get [-]% off."

Why did his aunt make so many colored papers? Chu Xinghai didn't understand. His little head couldn't think too much about it, but he knew that since his aunt sent people all the way to bring it, it must be distributed. .

Even if it is to attract more business for my aunt, anyway, the surname You is in the Hanlin Academy. I heard that people there will have a chance to enter the cabinet in the future, so they pay special attention to interpersonal communication. They eat and drink a lot on weekdays.

"Okay, let's go!" Chu Xinghai issued the "Exit Order".

"Hey, I'm talking about little things, can you at least treat me to dinner?" You Zhenghang said, "Even if your brother has to treat me to dinner!"

Chu Xinghai thought for a while, at least he sent the test questions, and agreed: "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner, then go down and see if the things packed for you are ready, and pack these colored papers together by the way."

You Zhenghang: "Don't you have a buddy in your family, just ask."

Chu Xinghai: "Did my brother ever tell you that you are lazy?"

You Zhenghang: "...Little thing, you are more annoying than your brother!"

Chu Xinghai: "Thank you!"

Thinking of how Little Treasure once pushed him away from his servants and didn't even know how to wear clothes, You Zhenghang walked out of the private room—he was despised once ten years ago, and now he is despised again!
As soon as he got out of the private room, he saw a group of people coming up the stairs, You Zhenghang wanted to turn back, the emperor came up!

But it was too late, the emperor had already seen him, so he had to kneel where he was, and Si'er, who was leading the way, reacted very quickly, and immediately gave him a wink and said, "My lord, do you want to pay the bill?"

You Zhenghang didn't dare to move. The emperor didn't want to expose his identity, but he didn't want to pay the bill. Besides, should he pay the bill himself? The servant was downstairs.

"Um... yes." You Zhenghang hurriedly replied, bowing to the emperor, "Hello, sir! The student has something to do at home, so I will take my leave first."

The emperor came to invigilate the examination in person, and it would not be impolite to call him sir.

"Well," the emperor responded lightly, but did not stop, but walked to You Zhenghang's side: "The reaction is still very fast."

You Zhenghang couldn't laugh or cry.

He really wanted to have a meal at the Blue House, but now he had to leave.

Just as he didn't know how to reply, he heard the emperor ask again: "Have you eaten?"

Now it's not long before the meal time, and the downstairs is still waiting for the food to be served, You Zhenghang said at this time that he needs to pay the bill, thinking he didn't dare to stay in front of him, that's why the emperor asked this question.

You Zhenghang: "Never... ah, I ate it."

The emperor smiled: "Come and eat some more with your husband."

The emperor still liked this little Tanhualang very much, although to a large extent it was because his grandfather Ge Mozi was a Hanlin scholar, and he often met with him, and he had a good impression.

But during the palace examination, the child was not affected by the presence of the emperor at all, he answered the questions calmly, and also calmly responded to the emperor's examination, coupled with his young age, he left a deep impression on the emperor.

After entering the private room, You Zhenghang immediately knelt down to the emperor, and the promotional coloring pages were placed on the ground. The emperor asked Eunuch Li to help him up and gave him a seat, but he asked about those coloring pages: "Why do you have so many?"

Chu Xinghai next door smiled, and then closed a stopper on the soundproof wall: The goal has been achieved, the coloring pages are handed over to the emperor, and more business can be brought to my aunt.

The emperor looked at the stack of promotional coloring pages, and his heart became clearer: Where is Chu Qing selling oysters to me?She's selling color typography!
You Zhenghang just got up, before he could sit down, the emperor asked again, and hurriedly replied: "The ministers came here to ask them to help bring some things to my father, and they asked the ministers to share these with their colleagues, presumably as a solicitation. some business."

You Zhenghang didn't dare to say that he was very close to the Chu family, fearing that the emperor would have other ideas, but he also didn't dare to say that he didn't know each other. He felt that it was impossible for the emperor not to know that he and Chu Dao were classmates.

Chu Qing has always been controversial, but now You Zhenghang is not sure about the emperor's attitude towards Chu Qing, so he lied when he could.

"I heard that they still have flower notes at home, why didn't you ask for some?" the emperor asked.

"Flower paper? I don't know." You Zhenghang really didn't know: "But I rarely use flower paper."

The emperor nodded and looked at the stack of color pages again. It seemed that Chu Qing had not yet had time to launch the deal.

But it's coming soon, several sheets have already been posted in the restaurant, if You Zhenghang's pile is also distributed, there will be many people who want to come to make up their minds.

The emperor felt that even if he knew that Chu Qing was trying to sell him the idea of ​​using color printing technology, he would still accept it.

Because once these technologies are obtained by businessmen, they will be widely used for commercial purposes, such as clear promotional coloring pages, product packaging, etc., which is a waste of good technology.

But this is light and serious, and it will flood the people with "miscellaneous books", such as erotic albums, romance books, etc., and make the younger generation of Daxuan not want to make progress.

I am even more afraid of being used by evil forces to change the values ​​​​of the people, and even shake the imperial power in the end.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, they don't care whether the printed books are useful books, they value the economic benefits brought by the printed matter.

Books are carriers for recording civilization and disseminating knowledge, but the popularization of books depends on printing, because manual copying alone is too inefficient.

Therefore, the government-run bookstores of the past dynasties are the mainstream places for knowledge dissemination, while the "books" published by private publishers, workshops, engraving workshops, and private publishing institutions are subject to official supervision.

To control printing is to control the mainstream media.

The food is on the table.

Si'er once saw Chu Qing's attitude towards the emperor and Hu Hengqiu on the day of Chu Yuan's wedding, and even Huang Zhong was trembling. not bad,

So as soon as I saw the emperor today, Si'er recognized him, and took him directly to the VIP room on the third floor without pointing it out. (end of this chapter)
