The first daughter of the first daughter

Chapter 377 Countermeasures
Boss Wan took the paper and looked at it, only to feel his scalp go numb.

"Recruit copywriters, male or female, ten taels per thousand characters."

What is Miss Lou trying to do?
"Boss Wan, please help me find someone, thank you." Lou Xuanying clasped her hands together and looked at him beggingly with a smiling face.

Seeing Manager Wan's expression of embarrassment, Lou Xuanying reassured him again and again: "I will pay the money myself, and you don't need to be given by Prince Jing's Palace."

"Miss, I don't mean that, but what book do you want them to copy?"

"I will tell them when people are here, please, Mr. Wan, can you help me find more people quickly?"

Boss Wan saw her anxious face, so he couldn't procrastinate any longer, so he nodded in response: "Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away, but miss, is the price of ten taels a thousand characters too high?"

You must know that the servants of the palace do not have so much silver per month, and ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for several months.

"No, I can afford it. Also, let people set up more than [-] tables and chairs in the yard, and each table and chair is equipped with pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

Manager Wan had no choice but to leave with the paper.

Half an hour later, the servant girl knocked on the courtyard door of Yingyueju, telling her that the person she was looking for was already waiting in front of the courtyard.

Lou Xuanying stretched, got up from the soft chair, and asked two guards to move the two boxes of books brought by Eunuch Wu to the courtyard.

There were about twenty people gathered in the compound, including men and women, but there were not many women. Many of them seemed to have a strong scholarly atmosphere, and they were discussing and speculating about the notice they had seen.

"Copy the book, do you know what book to copy?"

"I don't know, but it's only ten taels of a thousand characters, and it can be copied in less than an hour. Isn't this money very easy to earn?"

"Who knows, Prince Jing's mansion will naturally not be short of money, hasn't Prince Jing been canonized as a prince?"

Lou Xuanying stood up amidst their excitement, clapped her hands, and the guard put the two big boxes in the middle of the courtyard with a "bang".

The crowd fell silent immediately, and all their attention was focused on Lou Xuanying.

"Everyone, sit down when you choose your seats, and don't guess what books. The books you are asked to copy are in this box. Whoever is faster will earn more money. The writing does not need to be beautiful and neat, but the last At least you can see it clearly, well, no more requirements, you can start."

Everyone sat down as promised, but still gathered together to discuss in a low voice.

"This is the eldest lady of Xiangfu, right? She was famous for being a fool before, but her reputation is getting worse and worse, but she is very righteous, and the people have different opinions on her."

"It seems to be. She still shows up frequently in the imperial city. I have seen her several times. Isn't it rumored that she has an affair with a man again these days?"

"Hush! She seems to be looking towards us, but don't let her hear it, such a good opportunity to make money..." The people in the discussion saw her turning their heads and hurriedly gestured to the people around them to silence, and the crowd fell silent instantly. .

Lou Xuanying's ears are very good, so she naturally listened to their whispers, she was really unhappy, but she didn't say anything.

"Open the box and give them the books inside."

As soon as she gave an order, the guards immediately opened the box, and there were several thick classics lying in it. When they saw the "Female Virtue" on the top, some people couldn't help laughing.

"Miss, there are only six copies of this book, and there are more than twenty of them, how to divide them?"

"Tear it up, one part per person." Without thinking about it, Lou Xuanying directly ordered the guards to do so.

The guard hesitated, and finally a brave man stood up and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, this is... a book from the palace, tear it up just in case..."

"There is no chance, tear it up, do it, I will bear the consequences, what are you afraid of?"

If the emperor wants to let her have these six thick books, he should be aware of it. It is a dream to keep the books in her hands intact!

After Lou Xuanying finished speaking, she yawned and walked into the hall. As she walked, she said to the people sitting upright behind her: "After copying a thousand words, bring them to the hall for me to see, and the money will be paid in person."

Afterwards, Lou Xuanying sat comfortably in the living room with her legs crossed. There were all kinds of fruit and snacks on the round table beside her. She supported her head with one hand, and randomly grabbed the snacks and put them in her mouth with the other. Cozy.

Manager Wan looked at the powerful scribe lineup in the compound, shook his head helplessly, and silently retreated to the accounting room.

Miss Lou, this is simply too nonsense, but before he asked someone to post the notice for Miss Lou, he had already sent someone to inform the prince of this matter, but after so long, there is still no news from the palace, and the prince is acquiescing. Is this the behavior of the lady?

Since the prince has agreed, as the housekeeper of the palace, he naturally cannot have any objections.

An hour passed, and people in twos and threes had already brought the written papers into the hall and handed them to her.

Lou Xuanying casually flipped through the pages. The writing on the first page was very neat, and it became more and more scribbled as it went, but compared to her own writing, it was still quite beautiful, so she naturally had no objections.

She took their papers and handed over the silver from a large bag of scrap silver on the table.

Ten taels of silver was heavy in the palm of the hand, and the coke spoiled those people. It turned out that Miss Lou's silver was really so easy to earn.

"Miss Lou, can we copy again?"

"Okay, you can call it a day when you have finished copying everything. Before that, you can count as much as you can copy."

So, seeing that they didn't delay any longer, she immediately ran out to continue copying.

Lou Xuanying sat bored and looked around the yard from time to time, but most of the time she was staring at the snacks on the table in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, the gatekeeper of the palace rushed through the crowd and squeezed into the hall, and anxiously told her in the hall: "Miss, I saw the sedan chair in the palace coming towards our palace from a distance. What about people?"

"The sedan chair in the palace?" Lou Xuanying raised her eyebrows, and she quickly realized that she threw a piece of silver at the guard who informed her, "Go out first and see who it is."

"Yes, miss." The guard collected the money and immediately ran out again.

Miss Lou is really generous, she earns money just by writing a letter.

Soon, the doorman squeezed into the hall again.

"Miss, it's the fifth princess. She's just outside the palace. Do you want to open the door and let her in?"

The guard looked at her in embarrassment. After all, the visitor was a princess, and it was not easy for them to stop her.

"No, let her in."

"Ok."

The guard retreated, and at the same time asked someone to open the gate of the palace. Mo Xiaoqi walked in, but when she saw the situation in the courtyard, she was dumbfounded and lost her response for a moment.

"This... what's the situation?"

There are so many tables and chairs in the yard, and there are people sitting on every seat. These people's faces are still very unfamiliar, and they are all writing hard. The imperial examination is nothing more than that, right?
