Chapter 43 Movable Type Printing
"No problem," Xue Shu smiled, "Qingyu, do you believe that immortals entrust dreams?"

"I don't have a fairy fate, and I have never been entrusted by an immortal, so I don't believe it." Qingyu held her girl's wrist and gently massaged her, "But the girl is different. There should be an immortal entrusting you with dreams. Slaves believe it!"

Xue Shu shook her head helplessly.

She was worried that what the immortal Tuomeng said would be outrageous, and that Qingyu would think she was crazy, but this girl was so open-minded, but she would never believe anything she said.

Forget it, that's good too, and it saves her from having to think about how to make things right.

"If you have free time these days, you can bind these things up and put them in the study." Xue Shu instructed, "It's getting late, let them pass on dinner."

"Yes," Qingyu collected all the papers, hugged them in her arms, thought for a while, and then asked, "Does the girl not want people to know that these lines are written by the girl?"

Xue Shu nodded slightly, and said: "I don't have such literary talents, I just transcribe. If others find out, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

She couldn't bear the sight of Chuchu in her previous life using these poems to deceive the world and steal her name, so she would never do such a thing herself.

Qingyu also nodded, and said: "Then why don't you borrow some blocks and print them with blocks! In this way, even if this book is accidentally read by others, others will not know that it was written by you, Miss. At that time, the girl can just say that she picked it up outside, and no one else will be suspicious."

She has always been careful, the more subtle things that are easy to overlook, the more she will take them to heart.

Even Xue Shu was a little surprised: "Your method is good, but firstly, the characters are not easy to find, and secondly, you have never done such a thing before, so I'm afraid it will be very troublesome, so let's forget it. Just be careful."

Word blocks are rare items, a whole set of words can be worth a thousand gold, if it is made by Jiamu, the price can be multiplied several times, how can it be so easy to find.

Qingyu patted her chest, as if she was in control: "Girl, don't worry! I just need to ask someone to go to the bookstore. There are so many bookstores in the capital, and there will always be one that will lend us the blocks!
As for printing books... the servants can learn, the servants are not afraid of being tired, as long as they can share the worries of the girls, that's fine! "

She knew in her heart that once these verses came out, they might shake the entire literary world in Daliang. If her girl is willing, that's all. All accidents.

Instead of worrying about these things every day, always fearing that these things will be discovered by others, it is better to cut off the root of the disaster from the beginning, so that you can sleep peacefully in the future.

This was the first truth that Zhang's mother taught her when she was just bought and was learning the rules under Zhang's mother.

So, that night, after Qingyu waited on Xue Shu to wash and rest, she called a group of guards that had been brought out from the Hou Mansion earlier.

"Big brothers, now that you have entered Tangli Residence, do you still maintain contact with the Hou's Mansion?" Qingyu cut to the chase, her eyes scrutinizing, sizing up the strong men below.

These days, Qingyu is very polite to everyone, the older brother is older and the younger brother is short, and he is not stingy with the money in his hands, absolutely nothing bad.

It was the first time for her to be so straightforward and blunt.

The leader of this group of guards was named Hu Si, a tall and tall man with a muscular body and a fierce face, and others would shy away when they saw him.

When Qingyu saw him for the first time, she was too frightened to approach him, but later she had to bite the bullet and deal with him. After coming down a few times, she found that he didn't even eat people.

Hu Si knew in his heart that this was a serious matter to be entrusted to them, and now he was testing their loyalty.

So Hu Si came out, cupped his hands and said: "Before we left the Marquis Mansion, Lord Marquis ordered that everything be obeyed by the girl's orders, and that there is no need to report to the Marquis Mansion for everything. If you make your own decisions, you will be dealt with according to military regulations!"

What he meant was that the Marquis of Zhenbei had really handed them all over to Xue Shu, recognized her as the master, and relied on her to send orders at will. If anyone dared to speak too much, they would betray the master and die.

After receiving this sentence, Qingyu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Since that's the case, there is one thing that needs you big brothers to run errands.

The girl had nothing to do, and heard that movable type printing was very interesting, so she wanted to get some blocks from outside and try it herself.Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I have been walking more in the capital recently to see if I can borrow a complete set of characters. The price is not a problem. As long as it is not asking for a price, we can afford it. "

After she finished speaking, the guards all looked at each other in blank dismay.

My master is quite good at playing.

"Yes!" Hu Si took the lead, and everyone took the lead. The team was divided into teams that night, and the route was drawn up. They only waited for the dawn before they dispersed and searched one by one.

The efficiency of their movements was astonishingly fast. The next day, just as Xue Shu finished her lunch and went back to the house to rest, they carried a wooden box into the yard.

Hu Si also demonstrated the technique to Qingyu. Although it was rough and clumsy, Qingyu understood it abruptly and tried it a few times. Hu Si's eyes lit up immediately: "Miss Qingyu is really smart! Your technique, Exactly the same as the man who taught me!"

Only then did Qingyu feel relieved, and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm afraid I'm clumsy and won't be able to teach girls. With Brother Hu's words, I feel at ease."

As she said that, Qingyu took out another ingot of silver from her sleeve: "For this silver, I invite you all to drink."

Hu Si quickly waved his hand, and said: "Young lady, you must absolutely not force it. It is my duty to do things for the young lady, so how can I collect more money?"

Hearing this, Qingyu didn't insist anymore, took the money back, and directed them to move the box into the study.

When Xue Shu took a nap, Qingyu had already been busy in the study all afternoon.

She has always been clever, even if there is no professional person to teach her by hand, after printing a pile of waste paper, she has found some tricks, I dare not say that she can compare with those experienced hands, at least she can print words into sentences, see It's kind of like a thing.

When Xue Shu arrived in the study, Qing Yu had just printed two pages.

"I can't tell, my Qingyu is quite capable." Xue Shu picked up the paper and glanced at it, and then carefully laid it flat. Looking at the Qingyu with the letters on the other side, there was a smile in her phoenix eyes. "Not only did I find the word blocks so quickly, but I only need to take a nap, and you're already getting started."

Qingyu shook her head triumphantly, and said: "Of course, I've already said it, I'm a fast learner! I'll stay up all night tonight, and I'll be able to print it all tomorrow!"

This moveable type printing is very interesting. Arrange and combine the blocks in order, put them on the type tray, apply ink and print, and finally remove the blocks.

The process is simple and interesting, and Qingyu is a bit addictive to play.

"Tomorrow I have to go to Furong Garden. If you stay up late tonight, who will accompany me tomorrow?" Xue Shu leaned aside and watched her arrange the blocks, and became interested, "You have nothing to do in the afternoon, come and play with me. "

Qingyu had no choice but to step aside and carefully taught Xue Shu how to operate.

After printing a sheet, Xue Shu also became addicted. The master and servant simply worked together and printed all the poems before dark. After the ink dries, they can be bound into a book.
