Chapter 153 Canonization of the county head, little boy
The printing used by people in this era is more inclined to the woodblock printing in Yun Xi's memory.What Yun Xi intends to use is movable type printing. Compared with block printing, movable type printing has too many advantages. After use, it can be disassembled for future use.Moreover, it occupies less space than woodblock printing and is easy to preserve.If movable type printing is used, the cost of printing can be greatly saved.
There are several kinds of seal materials for movable type printing, such as clay, wood, copper, etc. are all feasible.It's just that copper is strictly controlled by the state, and it's really not easy to get a lot of copper to make movable type.Unless she can try it when she becomes the Duke's wife.
From the price point of view, Yun Xi prefers to use wooden movable type.In the previous Qing Dynasty, the technology of wooden movable type was quite mature.
Well, I have worked so hard to build a workshop just to print my sister's novels. If it gets out, I'm afraid it will scare off many people's teeth.
As a sister-in-law, Yun Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking.She just loves to spoil her sister.
And after this printing workshop is established, Yun Xi will not only use it to print her sister's novels, but also print other things to supplement her family's income.The advantage of movable type printing is that the more you print, the less cost you need to amortize.
Well, more books will have to be printed by then!
Yun Xi thought a little further, she is also Yun Shen's fiancée now, and she and Yun Shen can be said to be prosperous together.After printing enough books, she will build a library and open it to students for free, which can be regarded as earning fame for her and Yun Shen.
Although she was canonized as the county monarch, Yun Shen, as the prince's son who was loved by the emperor, in the eyes of many people, they might feel that the two of them are not a good match.Yun Xi doesn't want to be treated like a flower in the backyard, what she wants is to work hand in hand with her sweetheart.
So she has to work hard to strengthen her own strength.Although the original intention was to help her younger sister Yunyao print novels, Yun Xi had already thought up the entire process of the plan in just a blink of an eye.
Yun Yao was a little excited, and nodded vigorously, "I thought sister, you were going to scold me."
Yun Xi smiled, "Youth is capital. Even if you lose money, you can just start over from scratch." She paused and said, "It's too wasteful for this printing house to just print your novels, I have other uses. "
This means investing.
Knowing that her sister had never lost money, Yun Yao felt confident.Hmph, today those people ignore her, but tomorrow she will make them unable to reach her.
Yun Xi trusted her sister very much, and told her plan in a leisurely manner.
Yun Yao's eyes are very bright, and she also knows that her sister is doing a great good deed.After the establishment of the library, my sister's reputation will not even know how loud it will be, especially those literati, I am afraid that her sister will be exaggerated.
No, even if her sister doesn't need their praise, she is still the most beautiful flower.
She tilted her head and said, "As for the printing workshop, sister should build it." It's not that Yunyao is reluctant to part with the little money, but if she pays, with her sister's temperament, she will definitely give her a lot Shares are divided.Well, Yun Yao learned the word "stock" from Yun Xi.
Yunyao is not a fool, she has been doing business for two years, and she can see the business opportunities in it.She only paid a little money in exchange for a steady stream of money in the future, and she deserved it after all.
Yun Xi guessed what her sister was thinking as soon as she thought about it, and she felt a little funny, but also very ironic.After all, Yun Yao did not want to take advantage of her too much.
She thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's good. As my younger sister, you must have more benefits than others. Well, the novels you print and the money you earn belong to you. Every dollar you earn is yours. A novel, that's all."
Yun Yao nodded and immediately became happy.
Yun Xi thought, in this case, Zhuangzi would have to allocate some more people to specialize in making ordinary paper on the market.Even history paper and water pattern paper are so expensive, she will not be so stupid as to use this paper to print novels.Unless she wants to release some special edition in the future, a collector's edition that sells for twelve taels, then it's still possible.
If it was last year, there would definitely not be enough manpower.But this year, a lot of women have been admitted in, and now the number of people on the Zhuangzi has exceeded a hundred.
After discussing with Yun Yao, Yun Xi went to Yun Shen again and asked him to help her see if there were any omissions in her plan.
Yun Shen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your blacksmithing method is more excellent than the royal blacksmith. Have you thought about handing it over to me? If it is movable type printing plus this blacksmithing technology, at least you can directly Become the county head."
He paused, and said with a playful smile: "With the sharp weapons of the three countries in my hand, I was canonized as the county lord because of my merits. At that time, in the eyes of others, I will not be worthy of you. After all, I am just a courtier."
Whether it is a new secret recipe for blacksmithing, the method of laying salt on a flat surface or movable type printing, the appearance of each is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.Yun Shen felt that it was too little to only confer the title of County Lord Yunxi.If Yun Xi belonged to a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, with such credit, it would not be an exaggeration to make her a princess.
But just because she was born as a commoner, those ministers in the imperial court tried their best to obstruct her.Thinking of this, Yun Shen's chest unconsciously felt a surge of hostility.
Yun Xi held his hand and said, "That's good." If she hadn't known Yun Shen and Wu Wei Zi, no matter how many prescriptions she had, she wouldn't be able to make progress.Maybe she will be framed because of the crime of Huai Bi.
But it's different now, who dares to frame her?
Although Daoist Wuweizi didn't say anything, since he recognized Yunyao as his disciple, he has already shown his support for her. This is the real reason why those salt merchants dare not attack her no matter how eyeing it is.
The salt drying method harmed the interests of the world's largest salt merchants, and she did not know how many people she had offended.
It's just that when movable type printing comes out, her reputation among literati will be so good, and a new amulet will be added at that time.
Yun Shen pinched her hand with his backhand, played with his knuckle fingers, and said, "I'll go directly to the capital tomorrow."
Yun Xi smiled and said: "Then you can apply for the right to use it for me by the way. I can't use the prescription I came up with myself, right?"
If a printing workshop is to be opened, a permit is also required.Originally, Yun Xi planned to get it from Yan Ling's father.But if it starts from the emperor's side, then the deterrent effect will be even greater.
Yun Shen smiled, "Naturally. Your Majesty must not treat his niece and daughter-in-law badly."
In the world, only Yun Shen has the confidence to say that he is the emperor's nephew.In fact, the Emperor Chu loved him even more than those princes.
Yun Xi gracefully rolled her eyes at him, "Not yet."
"Soon." Yun Shen said.
The two separated after being tender for a while.
In the morning, Wen Niang and Aunt Xing also packed their luggage and came to Yun Xi's house.Wen Niang held her son in her hand. Her son seemed a little shy, blinking his big eyes and looking at people timidly, not to mention how cute he is.Wen Niang named him Brother Hu, and only hoped that the child would grow up healthy and peaceful.
Wen Niang and Aunt Xing have no other relatives here, so if they go back to Du's house with Yun Xi this time, they will probably settle in Fenghuang County completely.Their luggage is not particularly large, and the house is still kept. Judging from the plan of the two of them, it seems that they want to rent out the house.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "I have a good relationship with the boss of Wanshiwu. If you trust me, just ask Wanshiwu to help you find a rental buyer, and then the rent will be sent to you every month."
Although Lai San recognized her as master and master, but in front of outsiders, the two would not show the relationship between master and servant.Others only thought that Yunxi often dealt with Wanshiwu, so the relationship was very good.Only a very few people knew that the martial arts of those people in Wanshiwu were all taught by Yun Xi.Every year during the Chinese New Year, everyone would go to Du's house with a few catties of meat and some New Year gifts.
After moving Wen Niang and Aunt Xing's luggage into the car, Yun Xi and his party were also preparing to go home.They have been out this trip for several days.
I don't know if it's because seeing Brother Hu reminds me of her son who passed away. Aunt Xing loves Brother Hu very much, and even bought a bunch of candied haws to coax him.
Depart in the morning and arrive home in the evening.
Yun Xi had already considered the rooms of the two embroiderers in advance.Mrs. Du Zhou even prepared the new quilts, and Aunt Xing and Wen Niang just packed their luggage.They each have a separate room.In addition, the two of them will go to Mrs. Wan's side to pick out the servant girls in person in two days.
The work is not too busy, and I only do two or three hours of work every day.Both Wen Niang and Aunt Xing were very satisfied with this.
After Yun Shen sent them back, he went directly to the capital that day, which can be described as vigorous and resolute.
Yun Xi didn't rest, and directly started to set up a printing workshop. At the same time, she had to arrange some people in Zhuangzi to make other papers.
Her roast duck shop and down jacket shop also had to start preparations, but Yun Xi's main work was still in the printing workshop.
This busy, often only sleep three hours a day.She can't wait to double the time to use it.
While she was busy, Yun Shen also entered the city smoothly, and handed over the technology of movable type printing and blacksmithing to Chu Xiyuan.He didn't forget to bring a sword as a sample.He forged the sword himself. Although Yun Shen was not one of those highly skilled blacksmiths, relying on the excellence of Yun Xi's secret recipe for blacksmithing, what he forged was better than the blacksmiths used by the royal family after all.
When the two swords struck each other, the royal blacksmith's sword was directly broken in two, while Yun Shen's sword was not damaged at all.
When Chu Xiyuan saw the sword, he couldn't help holding it in his hand, and couldn't put it down to play with it.He couldn't help thinking about it, if every soldier in Dachu could wear such a weapon, then he would be absolutely invincible on the battlefield.
He seemed to be able to see the high-spirited figure of his great Chu soldier fighting the world.Rao Chu Xiyuan, who was so moody and indifferent, couldn't help but get excited.
In the blood of every emperor, there is an urge to open up territories.
His face was flushed—this was already a very strong emotional leak for him.He walked back and forth, his eyes full of excitement, "Okay! This is really great!"
After regaining his sanity, he also remembered the advantages of movable type printing, which can greatly reduce the cost of books.The lower the cost of books, the more people have the capital to read.
With wild joy in his eyes, he patted Yun Shen on the shoulder, "Those people are always jealous that I spoil you too much, but which one of them can be half as filial as you?" Yun Shen rushed to the capital as soon as he got something good, Move up to him.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiyuan's heart was filled with love.He even regretted why Yun Shen wasn't his son.If Yun Shen was his son, he could pass on the throne to him in a legitimate way.
However, Yun Shen didn't appreciate someone's "loving father" mood at all, and said coldly, "This is my daughter-in-law's filial piety, not me." A daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and he is him.He didn't want to take the credit of Yun Xi.
The corner of Chu Xiyuan's mouth twitched, "Husband and wife are one, isn't hers yours?" His thoughts also represent the thoughts of most people in this era. In their eyes, women are men's accessories.
Seeing that Yun Shen had something to say, Chu Xiyuan hurriedly said, "Your fiancée is also a good one. The position of a county head is not worthy of her credit."
Yun Shen nodded, not humble at all, "I think so too. I think the princess is worthy."
Chu Xiyuan's eyelids twitched.Sure enough, Yun Shen should be raised by his side, and it has become like this after only leaving the palace for the past few years.What he didn't know was that Yun Shen acted like this only because Yun Xi was involved.
Chu Xiyuan said: "Tomorrow, I will propose the title of the princess first. Those ministers will definitely not allow it. If we take a step back and propose the title of the county host, then probably no one will object."
Yun Shen snorted, but didn't say anything after all.
Because of Yun Xi, it was rare for him to attend the morning court in the next few days.Chu Xiyuan had already granted him a position as a military guard, and he was still the son of the Duke's mansion, so he naturally had the qualifications to go to the early court.
In the early court, they really quarreled to death because of the position of this canonization.However, because of the movable type printing technique, the literati never objected, and instead sang praises for Yun Xi.In their view, being able to make more students in the world buy books, such a credit, canonize the princess is fine.
It's just that the powerful and aristocratic families in the capital are very unwilling.A man of civilian background severely overwhelmed the daughter of their family.No matter how many credits Yun Xi had, they were unwilling after all.
They were even more apprehensive in waiting for Yun Xi to set a precedent, would more civilians be conferred titles due to their meritorious service in the future, threatening their status.
It's just that they don't want to think about it. Movable type printing, blacksmithing... Can these be taken out casually?In the previous life, these were also the crystallization of wisdom evolved by ordinary people for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Yun Shen's face was calm, but he silently wrote down those who opposed it.If the members of those families want to be promoted in the future, then don't blame him for taking Yun Xi as the standard.Let's think about it when they have merits beyond movable type printing.Because of Yun Xi's relationship with Wu Weizi, the Su family also supported him.
These people who are trying their best to oppose, don't know that they are blocking the way to promotion in the future.
This is the second time at court that the title of the same girl has been quarreled over.
When Chu Xiyuan and the others reached a stalemate in the discussion, they pretended to compromise and canonized Du Yunxi as county lord.
With the buffer of the previous princess, those who opposed it felt that the county master seemed to be acceptable.
Within one year, from being a commoner's daughter, she became the county head with two rewards, and her contributions are all real, no one can erase her disregard.Yun Xi suddenly became a celebrity, and those famous ladies in the capital, under her light, looked dim and colorless.
Those so-called bright pearls of the capital were naturally very upset, but the other ladies who were suppressed on weekdays did not have much hostility towards Yun Xi.
They even learned a trick, if someone showed off their talents in front of them, they would just say, "You are so good at composing poems, you have the ability to be named the head of the county for composing poems."
"No matter how good you play the piano, how can it benefit the country? Can it make you a county lord?"
"It doesn't matter how good the handwriting is, can you come up with movable type printing?"
Unknowingly, Yun Xi whipped up a wave of hatred in front of several girls like this.But even if she knew, she wouldn't care.As the saying goes, not being envied by others is mediocrity.
Rather than being a mediocre person, she would rather choose to be envied.
……
After Yun Xi was canonized as county lord, Yun Shen didn't go back immediately.Instead, he will take back a small amount of interest for Yunxi in the capital first.
He directly spread the content of the quarrel in the early court, and then led some people to release public opinion. He did not forget to highlight Yun Xi's contribution, saying that such a contribution was not an exaggeration.
The point is to highlight the narrow-mindedness of those who oppose people's jealousy and envy and suppress civilians.
Also as ordinary people, Yunxi's rise is an inspirational story for them, which makes them unconsciously have a little more hope in their hearts...feeling that one day, if they make great contributions, they may also have the possibility of rising.
This made them unconsciously shift their position towards Yun Xi, scolding those powerful people one by one, as if his daughter had been deprived of the position of princess.
The reputation of those families plummeted, and they suddenly became typical villains in the capital who were jealous of the virtuous and capable.They wanted to suppress it, but they couldn't stop those Youyou's mouths.Their behavior fell into people's eyes and became angry again.
Yun Shen's methods are not insignificant. While suppressing those people, he did not forget to make people admire those who supported Yun Xi.
Those literati officials suddenly became representatives of not being afraid of the powerful.
In this incident, because of supporting Yun Xi, the Su family escaped unharmed, and their reputation was even better.Unfortunately, some of them happened to be enemies of the Su family, and the Patriarch of the Su family also took this opportunity to add insult to injury.
As for the slightly smarter people, they smelled something else from this incident.
This rumor can suddenly spread like a spring breeze overnight, and it will be discussed in the streets and alleys. If there is no one to guide it, it is impossible.
Looking at the emperor's tacit or even implicit support for the rumors, everyone knew that the newly released county head should not be treated as a person without foundation.Jane is in the heart of the emperor.
People with more flexible minds have already figured out ways to marry them.Their idea is very simple. Yunxi has been an ordinary peasant girl for more than ten years, and her canonization was only in April this year, so she probably hasn't seen much in the world.As long as they send out those young talents from their own family, they will definitely attract the little girl's heart.
They didn't know the news that Yun Xi was engaged, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care.Isn't it easy to break off a marriage contract?
Being too confident, they never thought of the possibility of Yun Xi's refusal, let alone the fact that their actions have already provoked a jealous and jealous man.
Yun Shen also has his own power in the capital, and after these years of management, the power is really not small.
When he knew that several families were ready to move, coveting his fiancée.Yun Shen's face turned black.If you want to snatch the person in his mouth, don't even think about it!
Yun Shen went straight into the palace and successfully obtained a new order from the emperor Chu Xiyuan.
……
Yun Xi, who was far away in Fenghuang County, didn't know the disturbance caused by her in the capital.In this era without telephones or computers, it would take time for news in the capital to spread.
Yun Xi is still working tirelessly to build her printing workshop there.
The master house over the state capital also came out with the results of the investigation.
At that time, Yun Shen's endless love affairs, the person behind the scenes was not the love rival that Yun Xi had imagined at the beginning, but someone she had never imagined.
"White clothes teacher?"
Lai San nodded, and said: "The lady Zhang from Yingchun Building left Yingchun Building that day, and took away many girls in it, and the deed of prostitution was also taken away. The old lady in Yingchun Building was so angry that she ran away. Go to the yamen to sue them. After investigation, the people in the yamen found that it was related to the Baiyi Sect. It’s just that the Baiyi Sect has always been a dragon, and it can only be regarded as an unsolved case in the end.”
"I started from this aspect and slowly investigated the matter, and found that several of the people you and Mr. Yun encountered that day were all members of the White Clothes Sect."
Puzzled on his face, "It's just that the people in the white robes don't hate men the most? Why did they come here to seduce Mr. Yun?"
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Xi understood their thoughts.
"They just want Yun Shen to be seduced, let me see his ugly side, and then understand that men in the world are ruthless and unworthy of affection, and then I will be logically brainwashed by their teachings, join their team."
Lai San's mouth twitched, "Are they sick?"
Yun Xi said lightly: "Who knows."
Speaking of which, these days, those people taught in white clothes really did not give up the idea of abducting Duo Duo.Fortunately, Yun Xi had already prepared the mechanism, and Duo Duo kept the medicine she gave her at any time, so they never let them succeed.
After Yun Xi told the County Magistrate about this, the County Magistrate put more emphasis on arranging manpower near her home, and successfully arrested two members of the White Clothes Sect—it's a pity that the two were rescued in the end.
However, after suffering a loss, these women calmed down a little, and remained silent for several days.Of course, this is not ruled out because the prefect of Chuzhou made great efforts to rectify them.
Lai San coughed and asked, "Master, do you still have Qianhe Ointment?"
When he asks for help, he always calls Master.
Yun Xi nodded, "What's the matter? Could it be that Xiao Si was injured?"
Lai San shook his head, "No, some time ago, when I went out to guard the darts, I happened to rescue a pair of beggar brothers and sisters who were hunted down. Among them, the younger sister was injured and her face was scratched many times. I just thought about it. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were pitiful, I brought them back."
Yun Xi understood that Lai San wanted the Qianhe ointment for his younger sister.
Lai San continued: "I don't think the brothers and sisters talk like ordinary people. Although the younger sister is young, she can read and write. She seems to be from a good family. I think they may have been kidnapped and sold, and I want to send them back. It’s just that they would rather be beggars than give out their home address.”
Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "Maybe they have a home and can't go back. Since it's their own decision, don't force them."
Lai San nodded, "I know." Seeing that his brother was protecting his sister during the escape, he thought of him and Xiao Si, and his heart softened.
Yun Xi was told by Lai Sanyi that she was also a little curious about the pair of brothers and sisters, so she took advantage of delivering the medicine to meet them.
There are two brothers and sisters, one is Tang Da and the other is Tang Er.This name is just a pseudonym, and the siblings are quite vigilant, and they know to keep their real names secret.
After meeting, Yun Xi had to admit, no wonder Lai San felt that they were not children of ordinary people.That demeanor is obviously a son of a nobleman, okay?Every word and deed is extremely disciplined.Although his elder brother Tang Da is only ten years old, he already has the demeanor of a handsome young man.I just don't know if it was because of being chased and killed along the way, and suffered a lot, the eyes of people are a little wary, like a young leopard that will stretch out its claws to scratch people at any time.
As expected, younger sister Tang Er had two long scars on her face, which were already starting to form.If the scars are only removed, it can be seen from the facial features that it is indeed a beauty embryo.
Yun Xi didn't seem to see the vigilant expressions of the siblings, she shook the Qianhe Ointment in her hand, "Shall I give you the medicine?"
Lai San said beside him: "This Qianhe ointment is a good thing that even money can't buy. If it wasn't made by her, I wouldn't be able to get it."
Yun Xi took Tang Er's hand, went into the inner room, and put ointment on the little girl's face.
She poured out some and spread it evenly on Tang Er's face.
Tang Er blinked, showing a somewhat cute smile, "It's cold, it won't itch anymore, it's so comfortable."
Yun Xi felt sad looking at it.This girl, who was supposed to be a pampered girl at home before, didn't know how she and her brother got down to this point.
She softened her voice, "Do you have any wounds on your body? If so, I'll wipe some for you too." It doesn't make sense that only the face was injured, and the body is probably also left behind.
Tang Er's eyes turned around on the bottle, shook his head, and said with a guilty conscience: "I'm fine, there's no wound."
Yun Xi couldn't tell that she was lying.
Tang Er hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Can you give me this medicine?" Her voice was a little softer, "I want to give it to my brother, he also has many wounds on his body."
Yun Xi immediately understood that she was worried about not having enough medicine, so she wanted to save some for her brother.
Yun Xi's eyes softened, and she patted the little girl's head, but Tang Er didn't move away, "It's okay, you can use it at ease. The cost of this thing is not high, and I will make a few more bottles for you when the time comes." The ingredients are all She planted it herself, and it is not certain whether the cost adds up to ten cents.
After hearing this, Tang Er showed a happy smile. She was a little embarrassed and said, "I, I will return the money to you in the future, when I earn money."
Yun Xi smiled and changed the subject, "I heard that both you and your brother have read books, right?"
Tang Er nodded.
Yun Xi said: "It just so happens that my village has taken in some children and I want to find someone to teach them to read. Can you and your brother help? I will pay you every month."
Tang Er is not older than Tang Er, he is still younger, so he is easier to coax.After hearing Yun Xi's words, her eyes lit up, and she was obviously very interested in teaching and educating people.
Yun Xi remembered that when she was playing house with her friends when she was a child, she also liked being a teacher.Many people have a dream of teaching.
Tang Er was very happy, and said: "You don't need to pay a lot of wages, Uncle Lai saved our lives."
Yun Xi said solemnly: "No, you are teachers, you must have Shuxiu." She paused and said: "Okay, take off your clothes, I have to give you medicine."
Yun Xi has always been very good at dealing with children, Tang Er has established a sense of trust in Yun Xi during the short conversation, obediently took off his clothes, and asked Yun Xi to apply the medicine.Yun Xi saw that she had a long scar from her shoulder to her ribs, and looked at the tenderness of the little girl's skin, it seemed that she hadn't suffered much before.
She applied the medicine to Tang Er, Tang Er put on his clothes again, and they left the house together.
With the black ointment on his face, Tang Er smiled and told his elder brother that Yun Xi wanted to invite the two of them to be teachers.
Tang Tianran knew that Yun Xi was concerned about his self-esteem, so he used this method to help him, with complicated eyes.He and his sister escaped along the way and encountered a lot of pursuit. If it weren't for the few things he carried with him, he would have died a long time ago.
It's just that he has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the betrayal of his trusted relatives, but he also met Lai San who saved them, and Yun Xi who helped them in this considerate way.
His lips twitched, and finally he just spit out two words, "Thank you."
Yun Xi saw that his ears were red.
Tang Er also wanted to take the ointment and apply it to his brother.Tang Da refused.
His eyes were firm and fierce, even though he hadn't grown up yet, Yun Xi still felt that this child would definitely be great when he grew up.
He said softly: "I need to remember all this with scars."
He seemed to be speaking to his sister, but also to himself.
Yun Xi didn't know the hatred tumbling in his heart, but she didn't intend to persuade him to let go of the hatred and live a good life.Sometimes hatred is also the source of strength that supports a person to go on.Besides, she didn't know anything about what happened to the brothers and sisters and their past, so how could she have the right to criticize the decisions they made.
The reason why she asked them to be teachers was to help them on the one hand, and to help herself on the other hand.As more and more people are taken in by Zhuangzi, it is really difficult for Yu Xiucai to teach everyone.
Yun Xi decided to divide the people into two groups, let the younger ones be taught by the siblings, and she didn't ask them to explain the meaning of the scriptures to the children, as long as they were taught to read and recite.The rest can be handed over to Yu Xiucai, which can be regarded as greatly reducing Yu Xiucai's workload.
After placing the pair of brothers and sisters with Zhuangzi, Yun Xi continued to deal with her own affairs.
After a period of hard work, almost all the employees in the printing workshop were found, and every deed of sale was in her hand.Yun Xi also specially dug out a few highly skilled masters. Of course, the reason why those old masters were scooped up by her was because of her status as the county lord (Yun Xi didn't know that she had already been canonized as the county lord), and the other On the one hand, the conditions she gave were indeed very generous.When these old masters get older, they have to think about the rest of their lives.Yunxi's income for ordinary employees is one or two taels of silver a month, including three meals.Veteran technicians pay five taels of silver a month.
Yun Xi didn't forget to ask the carpenter to make a typesetting frame with a rotating wheel, so that the long-term workers could push the wheel to match people with words, and it was convenient to take and return words.
When the personnel are almost complete, the printing workshop is also established.Yun Xi only needs to wait for those movable type wooden seals to be printed before they can officially start printing.
While waiting for the movable wooden seal, Yun Xi opened a roast duck restaurant and a down jacket store in the city by the way.Now it's autumn, and after a while, the peak season for down jackets will be ushered in.
Just opened, these two stores are booming.The roast duck business is very good, and there is a long queue at the door every day.The aroma of roast duck even seduces people who live nearby to drool every day.They also tried roasting it themselves, but the roasted duck was not as good as the one at Du's Roast Duck Restaurant.
As for the down jacket, because of its high price, it still takes the high-end route.
While selling down jackets, Yun Xi selected two women from the manor to teach the common people in Fenghuang County to use wool to make woolen sweaters for themselves, and to knit woolen sweaters for themselves.In this way, in winter, they can also make some warm clothes for themselves, after all, the price of wool is not expensive.
The people in Fenghuang County are very grateful for this, and I don't know how many people set up a long-burning lamp for Yunxi in their homes, and bless Yunxi with a long life and a prosperous and prosperous life.
Even people from other counties heard about this and came to Fenghuang County to study.In this way, wool and woolen sweaters spread slowly from point to surface.
Yun Xi also received an invitation card, inviting her to attend the orchid festival.Although Chuzhou's Orchid Festival is not comparable to Danzhou's Peony Festival in terms of reputation and scale, it is still a grand event.If it was normal, Yun Xi would have gone directly.There are several pots of orchids in her greenhouse.
Each pot looks very good, one of them is a pot of lotus petal orchids, the color is like jasper, and it is as delicate as carved jade.This kind of lotus petal orchid usually blooms in spring, but I don't know if this pot is mutated because of supernatural powers, and it blooms directly in autumn.If you take it to participate in the exhibition, you will definitely get a good ranking.
Yun Xi thought about it, she was really busy recently, she couldn't spare time, this orchid festival lasted for several days, plus the back and forth journey, it took five days to go like this.
She simply handed the orchid to Wanshiwu and asked her to help send it to the exhibition.
Before she had the famous peony, she had a dispensable attitude towards whether the orchid could win the prize.Her reputation is loud enough, there is really no need to use orchids to icing on the cake.
The people in Wanshiwu vowed to protect the orchid and not let it touch it.
Yun Xi was very reassuring about what they did, and directly became the hands-off shopkeeper.
At the beginning of September, when Yun Xi came back from the down jacket store, she brought back a portion of roast duck on the way - roast duck is something that the whole Du family loves to eat, and Yun Xi would occasionally take one away from the store.
But when she got to the door of the house, she saw a red-wheeled canopy cart parked at the door, and it seemed that a guest of extraordinary background had come to the house.
Yun Xi was a little puzzled, the concierge, Uncle Zhang, had already told her, "Girl, there is a guest from the capital today, who is said to be the nephew of the Minister of Rites."
Minister of the Ministry of Rites... This official is quite big.But what did it matter to her.
Yun Xi entered the room with doubts, just in time to hear a young man say with a touch of pride: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. I have admired County Lord Du for a long time, and I want to propose marriage to you."
There was determination and determination in his tone, as if he was certain that the Du family would not reject a talent like him.One must know that his uncle is the Minister of Rites, and his father is also a fourth-rank Beijing official, and their Hong family is one of the best in the capital.
Yun Xi frowned slightly, when she heard the aunt Du Zhou's rejection: "Sorry, my son, my family Yun Xi is already engaged, there is no reason for the Xu family."
The young man was a little unhappy when he was rejected, and said, "Can you represent your niece? I heard that County Lord Du's marriage was decided by her herself. She hasn't even met me yet. How do you know what she means?" .”
Yun Xi walked in, glanced at this person lightly, and said, "Sorry, I refuse, you can go."
Hearing this slightly cold voice, the boy turned his head, and saw a beautiful girl walking in slowly.The skin is fairer than snow, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the temperament is delicate but strong, surpassing most of the famous ladies he has seen in the capital.
A flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, the reluctance to be forced to marry a country girl suddenly flew to the sky, and there was only that charming and delicate face in the center of his eyes.
His voice subconsciously softened, with a bit of tenderness, "Miss Du, with your personality and appearance, why should you settle for a lowly little boy?" , there is only one face to see.
Yun Xi was about to speak when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind, and at the same time, Yun Shen's voice sounded.
"Under Yunshen, he is Yun Xi's fiancé."
His voice was murderous, "It's the little boy you just mentioned."
Yun Shen said indifferently: I heard that some people say that I am a little boy?

(End of this chapter)
The printing used by people in this era is more inclined to the woodblock printing in Yun Xi's memory.What Yun Xi intends to use is movable type printing. Compared with block printing, movable type printing has too many advantages. After use, it can be disassembled for future use.Moreover, it occupies less space than woodblock printing and is easy to preserve.If movable type printing is used, the cost of printing can be greatly saved.
There are several kinds of seal materials for movable type printing, such as clay, wood, copper, etc. are all feasible.It's just that copper is strictly controlled by the state, and it's really not easy to get a lot of copper to make movable type.Unless she can try it when she becomes the Duke's wife.
From the price point of view, Yun Xi prefers to use wooden movable type.In the previous Qing Dynasty, the technology of wooden movable type was quite mature.
Well, I have worked so hard to build a workshop just to print my sister's novels. If it gets out, I'm afraid it will scare off many people's teeth.
As a sister-in-law, Yun Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking.She just loves to spoil her sister.
And after this printing workshop is established, Yun Xi will not only use it to print her sister's novels, but also print other things to supplement her family's income.The advantage of movable type printing is that the more you print, the less cost you need to amortize.
Well, more books will have to be printed by then!
Yun Xi thought a little further, she is also Yun Shen's fiancée now, and she and Yun Shen can be said to be prosperous together.After printing enough books, she will build a library and open it to students for free, which can be regarded as earning fame for her and Yun Shen.
Although she was canonized as the county monarch, Yun Shen, as the prince's son who was loved by the emperor, in the eyes of many people, they might feel that the two of them are not a good match.Yun Xi doesn't want to be treated like a flower in the backyard, what she wants is to work hand in hand with her sweetheart.
So she has to work hard to strengthen her own strength.Although the original intention was to help her younger sister Yunyao print novels, Yun Xi had already thought up the entire process of the plan in just a blink of an eye.
Yun Yao was a little excited, and nodded vigorously, "I thought sister, you were going to scold me."
Yun Xi smiled, "Youth is capital. Even if you lose money, you can just start over from scratch." She paused and said, "It's too wasteful for this printing house to just print your novels, I have other uses. "
This means investing.
Knowing that her sister had never lost money, Yun Yao felt confident.Hmph, today those people ignore her, but tomorrow she will make them unable to reach her.
Yun Xi trusted her sister very much, and told her plan in a leisurely manner.
Yun Yao's eyes are very bright, and she also knows that her sister is doing a great good deed.After the establishment of the library, my sister's reputation will not even know how loud it will be, especially those literati, I am afraid that her sister will be exaggerated.
No, even if her sister doesn't need their praise, she is still the most beautiful flower.
She tilted her head and said, "As for the printing workshop, sister should build it." It's not that Yunyao is reluctant to part with the little money, but if she pays, with her sister's temperament, she will definitely give her a lot Shares are divided.Well, Yun Yao learned the word "stock" from Yun Xi.
Yunyao is not a fool, she has been doing business for two years, and she can see the business opportunities in it.She only paid a little money in exchange for a steady stream of money in the future, and she deserved it after all.
Yun Xi guessed what her sister was thinking as soon as she thought about it, and she felt a little funny, but also very ironic.After all, Yun Yao did not want to take advantage of her too much.
She thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's good. As my younger sister, you must have more benefits than others. Well, the novels you print and the money you earn belong to you. Every dollar you earn is yours. A novel, that's all."
Yun Yao nodded and immediately became happy.
Yun Xi thought, in this case, Zhuangzi would have to allocate some more people to specialize in making ordinary paper on the market.Even history paper and water pattern paper are so expensive, she will not be so stupid as to use this paper to print novels.Unless she wants to release some special edition in the future, a collector's edition that sells for twelve taels, then it's still possible.
If it was last year, there would definitely not be enough manpower.But this year, a lot of women have been admitted in, and now the number of people on the Zhuangzi has exceeded a hundred.
After discussing with Yun Yao, Yun Xi went to Yun Shen again and asked him to help her see if there were any omissions in her plan.
Yun Shen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your blacksmithing method is more excellent than the royal blacksmith. Have you thought about handing it over to me? If it is movable type printing plus this blacksmithing technology, at least you can directly Become the county head."
He paused, and said with a playful smile: "With the sharp weapons of the three countries in my hand, I was canonized as the county lord because of my merits. At that time, in the eyes of others, I will not be worthy of you. After all, I am just a courtier."
Whether it is a new secret recipe for blacksmithing, the method of laying salt on a flat surface or movable type printing, the appearance of each is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.Yun Shen felt that it was too little to only confer the title of County Lord Yunxi.If Yun Xi belonged to a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, with such credit, it would not be an exaggeration to make her a princess.
But just because she was born as a commoner, those ministers in the imperial court tried their best to obstruct her.Thinking of this, Yun Shen's chest unconsciously felt a surge of hostility.
Yun Xi held his hand and said, "That's good." If she hadn't known Yun Shen and Wu Wei Zi, no matter how many prescriptions she had, she wouldn't be able to make progress.Maybe she will be framed because of the crime of Huai Bi.
But it's different now, who dares to frame her?
Although Daoist Wuweizi didn't say anything, since he recognized Yunyao as his disciple, he has already shown his support for her. This is the real reason why those salt merchants dare not attack her no matter how eyeing it is.
The salt drying method harmed the interests of the world's largest salt merchants, and she did not know how many people she had offended.
It's just that when movable type printing comes out, her reputation among literati will be so good, and a new amulet will be added at that time.
Yun Shen pinched her hand with his backhand, played with his knuckle fingers, and said, "I'll go directly to the capital tomorrow."
Yun Xi smiled and said: "Then you can apply for the right to use it for me by the way. I can't use the prescription I came up with myself, right?"
If a printing workshop is to be opened, a permit is also required.Originally, Yun Xi planned to get it from Yan Ling's father.But if it starts from the emperor's side, then the deterrent effect will be even greater.
Yun Shen smiled, "Naturally. Your Majesty must not treat his niece and daughter-in-law badly."
In the world, only Yun Shen has the confidence to say that he is the emperor's nephew.In fact, the Emperor Chu loved him even more than those princes.
Yun Xi gracefully rolled her eyes at him, "Not yet."
"Soon." Yun Shen said.
The two separated after being tender for a while.
In the morning, Wen Niang and Aunt Xing also packed their luggage and came to Yun Xi's house.Wen Niang held her son in her hand. Her son seemed a little shy, blinking his big eyes and looking at people timidly, not to mention how cute he is.Wen Niang named him Brother Hu, and only hoped that the child would grow up healthy and peaceful.
Wen Niang and Aunt Xing have no other relatives here, so if they go back to Du's house with Yun Xi this time, they will probably settle in Fenghuang County completely.Their luggage is not particularly large, and the house is still kept. Judging from the plan of the two of them, it seems that they want to rent out the house.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "I have a good relationship with the boss of Wanshiwu. If you trust me, just ask Wanshiwu to help you find a rental buyer, and then the rent will be sent to you every month."
Although Lai San recognized her as master and master, but in front of outsiders, the two would not show the relationship between master and servant.Others only thought that Yunxi often dealt with Wanshiwu, so the relationship was very good.Only a very few people knew that the martial arts of those people in Wanshiwu were all taught by Yun Xi.Every year during the Chinese New Year, everyone would go to Du's house with a few catties of meat and some New Year gifts.
After moving Wen Niang and Aunt Xing's luggage into the car, Yun Xi and his party were also preparing to go home.They have been out this trip for several days.
I don't know if it's because seeing Brother Hu reminds me of her son who passed away. Aunt Xing loves Brother Hu very much, and even bought a bunch of candied haws to coax him.
Depart in the morning and arrive home in the evening.
Yun Xi had already considered the rooms of the two embroiderers in advance.Mrs. Du Zhou even prepared the new quilts, and Aunt Xing and Wen Niang just packed their luggage.They each have a separate room.In addition, the two of them will go to Mrs. Wan's side to pick out the servant girls in person in two days.
The work is not too busy, and I only do two or three hours of work every day.Both Wen Niang and Aunt Xing were very satisfied with this.
After Yun Shen sent them back, he went directly to the capital that day, which can be described as vigorous and resolute.
Yun Xi didn't rest, and directly started to set up a printing workshop. At the same time, she had to arrange some people in Zhuangzi to make other papers.
Her roast duck shop and down jacket shop also had to start preparations, but Yun Xi's main work was still in the printing workshop.
This busy, often only sleep three hours a day.She can't wait to double the time to use it.
While she was busy, Yun Shen also entered the city smoothly, and handed over the technology of movable type printing and blacksmithing to Chu Xiyuan.He didn't forget to bring a sword as a sample.He forged the sword himself. Although Yun Shen was not one of those highly skilled blacksmiths, relying on the excellence of Yun Xi's secret recipe for blacksmithing, what he forged was better than the blacksmiths used by the royal family after all.
When the two swords struck each other, the royal blacksmith's sword was directly broken in two, while Yun Shen's sword was not damaged at all.
When Chu Xiyuan saw the sword, he couldn't help holding it in his hand, and couldn't put it down to play with it.He couldn't help thinking about it, if every soldier in Dachu could wear such a weapon, then he would be absolutely invincible on the battlefield.
He seemed to be able to see the high-spirited figure of his great Chu soldier fighting the world.Rao Chu Xiyuan, who was so moody and indifferent, couldn't help but get excited.
In the blood of every emperor, there is an urge to open up territories.
His face was flushed—this was already a very strong emotional leak for him.He walked back and forth, his eyes full of excitement, "Okay! This is really great!"
After regaining his sanity, he also remembered the advantages of movable type printing, which can greatly reduce the cost of books.The lower the cost of books, the more people have the capital to read.
With wild joy in his eyes, he patted Yun Shen on the shoulder, "Those people are always jealous that I spoil you too much, but which one of them can be half as filial as you?" Yun Shen rushed to the capital as soon as he got something good, Move up to him.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiyuan's heart was filled with love.He even regretted why Yun Shen wasn't his son.If Yun Shen was his son, he could pass on the throne to him in a legitimate way.
However, Yun Shen didn't appreciate someone's "loving father" mood at all, and said coldly, "This is my daughter-in-law's filial piety, not me." A daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and he is him.He didn't want to take the credit of Yun Xi.
The corner of Chu Xiyuan's mouth twitched, "Husband and wife are one, isn't hers yours?" His thoughts also represent the thoughts of most people in this era. In their eyes, women are men's accessories.
Seeing that Yun Shen had something to say, Chu Xiyuan hurriedly said, "Your fiancée is also a good one. The position of a county head is not worthy of her credit."
Yun Shen nodded, not humble at all, "I think so too. I think the princess is worthy."
Chu Xiyuan's eyelids twitched.Sure enough, Yun Shen should be raised by his side, and it has become like this after only leaving the palace for the past few years.What he didn't know was that Yun Shen acted like this only because Yun Xi was involved.
Chu Xiyuan said: "Tomorrow, I will propose the title of the princess first. Those ministers will definitely not allow it. If we take a step back and propose the title of the county host, then probably no one will object."
Yun Shen snorted, but didn't say anything after all.
Because of Yun Xi, it was rare for him to attend the morning court in the next few days.Chu Xiyuan had already granted him a position as a military guard, and he was still the son of the Duke's mansion, so he naturally had the qualifications to go to the early court.
In the early court, they really quarreled to death because of the position of this canonization.However, because of the movable type printing technique, the literati never objected, and instead sang praises for Yun Xi.In their view, being able to make more students in the world buy books, such a credit, canonize the princess is fine.
It's just that the powerful and aristocratic families in the capital are very unwilling.A man of civilian background severely overwhelmed the daughter of their family.No matter how many credits Yun Xi had, they were unwilling after all.
They were even more apprehensive in waiting for Yun Xi to set a precedent, would more civilians be conferred titles due to their meritorious service in the future, threatening their status.
It's just that they don't want to think about it. Movable type printing, blacksmithing... Can these be taken out casually?In the previous life, these were also the crystallization of wisdom evolved by ordinary people for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Yun Shen's face was calm, but he silently wrote down those who opposed it.If the members of those families want to be promoted in the future, then don't blame him for taking Yun Xi as the standard.Let's think about it when they have merits beyond movable type printing.Because of Yun Xi's relationship with Wu Weizi, the Su family also supported him.
These people who are trying their best to oppose, don't know that they are blocking the way to promotion in the future.
This is the second time at court that the title of the same girl has been quarreled over.
When Chu Xiyuan and the others reached a stalemate in the discussion, they pretended to compromise and canonized Du Yunxi as county lord.
With the buffer of the previous princess, those who opposed it felt that the county master seemed to be acceptable.
Within one year, from being a commoner's daughter, she became the county head with two rewards, and her contributions are all real, no one can erase her disregard.Yun Xi suddenly became a celebrity, and those famous ladies in the capital, under her light, looked dim and colorless.
Those so-called bright pearls of the capital were naturally very upset, but the other ladies who were suppressed on weekdays did not have much hostility towards Yun Xi.
They even learned a trick, if someone showed off their talents in front of them, they would just say, "You are so good at composing poems, you have the ability to be named the head of the county for composing poems."
"No matter how good you play the piano, how can it benefit the country? Can it make you a county lord?"
"It doesn't matter how good the handwriting is, can you come up with movable type printing?"
Unknowingly, Yun Xi whipped up a wave of hatred in front of several girls like this.But even if she knew, she wouldn't care.As the saying goes, not being envied by others is mediocrity.
Rather than being a mediocre person, she would rather choose to be envied.
……
After Yun Xi was canonized as county lord, Yun Shen didn't go back immediately.Instead, he will take back a small amount of interest for Yunxi in the capital first.
He directly spread the content of the quarrel in the early court, and then led some people to release public opinion. He did not forget to highlight Yun Xi's contribution, saying that such a contribution was not an exaggeration.
The point is to highlight the narrow-mindedness of those who oppose people's jealousy and envy and suppress civilians.
Also as ordinary people, Yunxi's rise is an inspirational story for them, which makes them unconsciously have a little more hope in their hearts...feeling that one day, if they make great contributions, they may also have the possibility of rising.
This made them unconsciously shift their position towards Yun Xi, scolding those powerful people one by one, as if his daughter had been deprived of the position of princess.
The reputation of those families plummeted, and they suddenly became typical villains in the capital who were jealous of the virtuous and capable.They wanted to suppress it, but they couldn't stop those Youyou's mouths.Their behavior fell into people's eyes and became angry again.
Yun Shen's methods are not insignificant. While suppressing those people, he did not forget to make people admire those who supported Yun Xi.
Those literati officials suddenly became representatives of not being afraid of the powerful.
In this incident, because of supporting Yun Xi, the Su family escaped unharmed, and their reputation was even better.Unfortunately, some of them happened to be enemies of the Su family, and the Patriarch of the Su family also took this opportunity to add insult to injury.
As for the slightly smarter people, they smelled something else from this incident.
This rumor can suddenly spread like a spring breeze overnight, and it will be discussed in the streets and alleys. If there is no one to guide it, it is impossible.
Looking at the emperor's tacit or even implicit support for the rumors, everyone knew that the newly released county head should not be treated as a person without foundation.Jane is in the heart of the emperor.
People with more flexible minds have already figured out ways to marry them.Their idea is very simple. Yunxi has been an ordinary peasant girl for more than ten years, and her canonization was only in April this year, so she probably hasn't seen much in the world.As long as they send out those young talents from their own family, they will definitely attract the little girl's heart.
They didn't know the news that Yun Xi was engaged, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care.Isn't it easy to break off a marriage contract?
Being too confident, they never thought of the possibility of Yun Xi's refusal, let alone the fact that their actions have already provoked a jealous and jealous man.
Yun Shen also has his own power in the capital, and after these years of management, the power is really not small.
When he knew that several families were ready to move, coveting his fiancée.Yun Shen's face turned black.If you want to snatch the person in his mouth, don't even think about it!
Yun Shen went straight into the palace and successfully obtained a new order from the emperor Chu Xiyuan.
……
Yun Xi, who was far away in Fenghuang County, didn't know the disturbance caused by her in the capital.In this era without telephones or computers, it would take time for news in the capital to spread.
Yun Xi is still working tirelessly to build her printing workshop there.
The master house over the state capital also came out with the results of the investigation.
At that time, Yun Shen's endless love affairs, the person behind the scenes was not the love rival that Yun Xi had imagined at the beginning, but someone she had never imagined.
"White clothes teacher?"
Lai San nodded, and said: "The lady Zhang from Yingchun Building left Yingchun Building that day, and took away many girls in it, and the deed of prostitution was also taken away. The old lady in Yingchun Building was so angry that she ran away. Go to the yamen to sue them. After investigation, the people in the yamen found that it was related to the Baiyi Sect. It’s just that the Baiyi Sect has always been a dragon, and it can only be regarded as an unsolved case in the end.”
"I started from this aspect and slowly investigated the matter, and found that several of the people you and Mr. Yun encountered that day were all members of the White Clothes Sect."
Puzzled on his face, "It's just that the people in the white robes don't hate men the most? Why did they come here to seduce Mr. Yun?"
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Xi understood their thoughts.
"They just want Yun Shen to be seduced, let me see his ugly side, and then understand that men in the world are ruthless and unworthy of affection, and then I will be logically brainwashed by their teachings, join their team."
Lai San's mouth twitched, "Are they sick?"
Yun Xi said lightly: "Who knows."
Speaking of which, these days, those people taught in white clothes really did not give up the idea of abducting Duo Duo.Fortunately, Yun Xi had already prepared the mechanism, and Duo Duo kept the medicine she gave her at any time, so they never let them succeed.
After Yun Xi told the County Magistrate about this, the County Magistrate put more emphasis on arranging manpower near her home, and successfully arrested two members of the White Clothes Sect—it's a pity that the two were rescued in the end.
However, after suffering a loss, these women calmed down a little, and remained silent for several days.Of course, this is not ruled out because the prefect of Chuzhou made great efforts to rectify them.
Lai San coughed and asked, "Master, do you still have Qianhe Ointment?"
When he asks for help, he always calls Master.
Yun Xi nodded, "What's the matter? Could it be that Xiao Si was injured?"
Lai San shook his head, "No, some time ago, when I went out to guard the darts, I happened to rescue a pair of beggar brothers and sisters who were hunted down. Among them, the younger sister was injured and her face was scratched many times. I just thought about it. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were pitiful, I brought them back."
Yun Xi understood that Lai San wanted the Qianhe ointment for his younger sister.
Lai San continued: "I don't think the brothers and sisters talk like ordinary people. Although the younger sister is young, she can read and write. She seems to be from a good family. I think they may have been kidnapped and sold, and I want to send them back. It’s just that they would rather be beggars than give out their home address.”
Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "Maybe they have a home and can't go back. Since it's their own decision, don't force them."
Lai San nodded, "I know." Seeing that his brother was protecting his sister during the escape, he thought of him and Xiao Si, and his heart softened.
Yun Xi was told by Lai Sanyi that she was also a little curious about the pair of brothers and sisters, so she took advantage of delivering the medicine to meet them.
There are two brothers and sisters, one is Tang Da and the other is Tang Er.This name is just a pseudonym, and the siblings are quite vigilant, and they know to keep their real names secret.
After meeting, Yun Xi had to admit, no wonder Lai San felt that they were not children of ordinary people.That demeanor is obviously a son of a nobleman, okay?Every word and deed is extremely disciplined.Although his elder brother Tang Da is only ten years old, he already has the demeanor of a handsome young man.I just don't know if it was because of being chased and killed along the way, and suffered a lot, the eyes of people are a little wary, like a young leopard that will stretch out its claws to scratch people at any time.
As expected, younger sister Tang Er had two long scars on her face, which were already starting to form.If the scars are only removed, it can be seen from the facial features that it is indeed a beauty embryo.
Yun Xi didn't seem to see the vigilant expressions of the siblings, she shook the Qianhe Ointment in her hand, "Shall I give you the medicine?"
Lai San said beside him: "This Qianhe ointment is a good thing that even money can't buy. If it wasn't made by her, I wouldn't be able to get it."
Yun Xi took Tang Er's hand, went into the inner room, and put ointment on the little girl's face.
She poured out some and spread it evenly on Tang Er's face.
Tang Er blinked, showing a somewhat cute smile, "It's cold, it won't itch anymore, it's so comfortable."
Yun Xi felt sad looking at it.This girl, who was supposed to be a pampered girl at home before, didn't know how she and her brother got down to this point.
She softened her voice, "Do you have any wounds on your body? If so, I'll wipe some for you too." It doesn't make sense that only the face was injured, and the body is probably also left behind.
Tang Er's eyes turned around on the bottle, shook his head, and said with a guilty conscience: "I'm fine, there's no wound."
Yun Xi couldn't tell that she was lying.
Tang Er hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Can you give me this medicine?" Her voice was a little softer, "I want to give it to my brother, he also has many wounds on his body."
Yun Xi immediately understood that she was worried about not having enough medicine, so she wanted to save some for her brother.
Yun Xi's eyes softened, and she patted the little girl's head, but Tang Er didn't move away, "It's okay, you can use it at ease. The cost of this thing is not high, and I will make a few more bottles for you when the time comes." The ingredients are all She planted it herself, and it is not certain whether the cost adds up to ten cents.
After hearing this, Tang Er showed a happy smile. She was a little embarrassed and said, "I, I will return the money to you in the future, when I earn money."
Yun Xi smiled and changed the subject, "I heard that both you and your brother have read books, right?"
Tang Er nodded.
Yun Xi said: "It just so happens that my village has taken in some children and I want to find someone to teach them to read. Can you and your brother help? I will pay you every month."
Tang Er is not older than Tang Er, he is still younger, so he is easier to coax.After hearing Yun Xi's words, her eyes lit up, and she was obviously very interested in teaching and educating people.
Yun Xi remembered that when she was playing house with her friends when she was a child, she also liked being a teacher.Many people have a dream of teaching.
Tang Er was very happy, and said: "You don't need to pay a lot of wages, Uncle Lai saved our lives."
Yun Xi said solemnly: "No, you are teachers, you must have Shuxiu." She paused and said: "Okay, take off your clothes, I have to give you medicine."
Yun Xi has always been very good at dealing with children, Tang Er has established a sense of trust in Yun Xi during the short conversation, obediently took off his clothes, and asked Yun Xi to apply the medicine.Yun Xi saw that she had a long scar from her shoulder to her ribs, and looked at the tenderness of the little girl's skin, it seemed that she hadn't suffered much before.
She applied the medicine to Tang Er, Tang Er put on his clothes again, and they left the house together.
With the black ointment on his face, Tang Er smiled and told his elder brother that Yun Xi wanted to invite the two of them to be teachers.
Tang Tianran knew that Yun Xi was concerned about his self-esteem, so he used this method to help him, with complicated eyes.He and his sister escaped along the way and encountered a lot of pursuit. If it weren't for the few things he carried with him, he would have died a long time ago.
It's just that he has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the betrayal of his trusted relatives, but he also met Lai San who saved them, and Yun Xi who helped them in this considerate way.
His lips twitched, and finally he just spit out two words, "Thank you."
Yun Xi saw that his ears were red.
Tang Er also wanted to take the ointment and apply it to his brother.Tang Da refused.
His eyes were firm and fierce, even though he hadn't grown up yet, Yun Xi still felt that this child would definitely be great when he grew up.
He said softly: "I need to remember all this with scars."
He seemed to be speaking to his sister, but also to himself.
Yun Xi didn't know the hatred tumbling in his heart, but she didn't intend to persuade him to let go of the hatred and live a good life.Sometimes hatred is also the source of strength that supports a person to go on.Besides, she didn't know anything about what happened to the brothers and sisters and their past, so how could she have the right to criticize the decisions they made.
The reason why she asked them to be teachers was to help them on the one hand, and to help herself on the other hand.As more and more people are taken in by Zhuangzi, it is really difficult for Yu Xiucai to teach everyone.
Yun Xi decided to divide the people into two groups, let the younger ones be taught by the siblings, and she didn't ask them to explain the meaning of the scriptures to the children, as long as they were taught to read and recite.The rest can be handed over to Yu Xiucai, which can be regarded as greatly reducing Yu Xiucai's workload.
After placing the pair of brothers and sisters with Zhuangzi, Yun Xi continued to deal with her own affairs.
After a period of hard work, almost all the employees in the printing workshop were found, and every deed of sale was in her hand.Yun Xi also specially dug out a few highly skilled masters. Of course, the reason why those old masters were scooped up by her was because of her status as the county lord (Yun Xi didn't know that she had already been canonized as the county lord), and the other On the one hand, the conditions she gave were indeed very generous.When these old masters get older, they have to think about the rest of their lives.Yunxi's income for ordinary employees is one or two taels of silver a month, including three meals.Veteran technicians pay five taels of silver a month.
Yun Xi didn't forget to ask the carpenter to make a typesetting frame with a rotating wheel, so that the long-term workers could push the wheel to match people with words, and it was convenient to take and return words.
When the personnel are almost complete, the printing workshop is also established.Yun Xi only needs to wait for those movable type wooden seals to be printed before they can officially start printing.
While waiting for the movable wooden seal, Yun Xi opened a roast duck restaurant and a down jacket store in the city by the way.Now it's autumn, and after a while, the peak season for down jackets will be ushered in.
Just opened, these two stores are booming.The roast duck business is very good, and there is a long queue at the door every day.The aroma of roast duck even seduces people who live nearby to drool every day.They also tried roasting it themselves, but the roasted duck was not as good as the one at Du's Roast Duck Restaurant.
As for the down jacket, because of its high price, it still takes the high-end route.
While selling down jackets, Yun Xi selected two women from the manor to teach the common people in Fenghuang County to use wool to make woolen sweaters for themselves, and to knit woolen sweaters for themselves.In this way, in winter, they can also make some warm clothes for themselves, after all, the price of wool is not expensive.
The people in Fenghuang County are very grateful for this, and I don't know how many people set up a long-burning lamp for Yunxi in their homes, and bless Yunxi with a long life and a prosperous and prosperous life.
Even people from other counties heard about this and came to Fenghuang County to study.In this way, wool and woolen sweaters spread slowly from point to surface.
Yun Xi also received an invitation card, inviting her to attend the orchid festival.Although Chuzhou's Orchid Festival is not comparable to Danzhou's Peony Festival in terms of reputation and scale, it is still a grand event.If it was normal, Yun Xi would have gone directly.There are several pots of orchids in her greenhouse.
Each pot looks very good, one of them is a pot of lotus petal orchids, the color is like jasper, and it is as delicate as carved jade.This kind of lotus petal orchid usually blooms in spring, but I don't know if this pot is mutated because of supernatural powers, and it blooms directly in autumn.If you take it to participate in the exhibition, you will definitely get a good ranking.
Yun Xi thought about it, she was really busy recently, she couldn't spare time, this orchid festival lasted for several days, plus the back and forth journey, it took five days to go like this.
She simply handed the orchid to Wanshiwu and asked her to help send it to the exhibition.
Before she had the famous peony, she had a dispensable attitude towards whether the orchid could win the prize.Her reputation is loud enough, there is really no need to use orchids to icing on the cake.
The people in Wanshiwu vowed to protect the orchid and not let it touch it.
Yun Xi was very reassuring about what they did, and directly became the hands-off shopkeeper.
At the beginning of September, when Yun Xi came back from the down jacket store, she brought back a portion of roast duck on the way - roast duck is something that the whole Du family loves to eat, and Yun Xi would occasionally take one away from the store.
But when she got to the door of the house, she saw a red-wheeled canopy cart parked at the door, and it seemed that a guest of extraordinary background had come to the house.
Yun Xi was a little puzzled, the concierge, Uncle Zhang, had already told her, "Girl, there is a guest from the capital today, who is said to be the nephew of the Minister of Rites."
Minister of the Ministry of Rites... This official is quite big.But what did it matter to her.
Yun Xi entered the room with doubts, just in time to hear a young man say with a touch of pride: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. I have admired County Lord Du for a long time, and I want to propose marriage to you."
There was determination and determination in his tone, as if he was certain that the Du family would not reject a talent like him.One must know that his uncle is the Minister of Rites, and his father is also a fourth-rank Beijing official, and their Hong family is one of the best in the capital.
Yun Xi frowned slightly, when she heard the aunt Du Zhou's rejection: "Sorry, my son, my family Yun Xi is already engaged, there is no reason for the Xu family."
The young man was a little unhappy when he was rejected, and said, "Can you represent your niece? I heard that County Lord Du's marriage was decided by her herself. She hasn't even met me yet. How do you know what she means?" .”
Yun Xi walked in, glanced at this person lightly, and said, "Sorry, I refuse, you can go."
Hearing this slightly cold voice, the boy turned his head, and saw a beautiful girl walking in slowly.The skin is fairer than snow, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the temperament is delicate but strong, surpassing most of the famous ladies he has seen in the capital.
A flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, the reluctance to be forced to marry a country girl suddenly flew to the sky, and there was only that charming and delicate face in the center of his eyes.
His voice subconsciously softened, with a bit of tenderness, "Miss Du, with your personality and appearance, why should you settle for a lowly little boy?" , there is only one face to see.
Yun Xi was about to speak when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind, and at the same time, Yun Shen's voice sounded.
"Under Yunshen, he is Yun Xi's fiancé."
His voice was murderous, "It's the little boy you just mentioned."
Yun Shen said indifferently: I heard that some people say that I am a little boy?
