"Father, this is called paper. It can be used for writing and drawing. It can replace letters and silk." Ke Hanxue happily brought the paper to his father and said, "Dad, look at it."

Ke Shuisheng took the paper, looked it over and over again, and asked in surprise, "Is this what you made out of those mulberry barks?"

"That's right!" Ke Hanxue said proudly: "Father, the cost of this thing is much lower than that of silk?"

"The cost is low, but I think you are exhausted getting these few things!" Ke Shuisheng said distressedly.

"Father, it's just that I haven't made this thing for a long time, so it's not easy to do it, and it will be much faster if I do it a few times." Ke Hanxue smiled.

In her previous life, she helped make paper in the few years when she was first adopted by her adoptive parents. Later, after she went to study in the county, she was rarely able to help.

"Have you made this before?" Ke Shuishenghu asked, why didn't he see his daughter do it?

Forehead!
Ke Hanxue touched his nose, and said with a dry smile: "Father, didn't you succeed in doing it before? That's why I didn't dare to tell you and mother."

After finishing speaking, Ke Hanxue stuck out her tongue secretly, almost revealing herself again.

"So it is!" Ke Shuisheng was relieved.

"Father, don't tell outsiders about this beforehand." Ke Hanxue thought about it and confessed.

"I know."

The next day, Ke Hanxue came to the restaurant with a few pieces of paper, because Ge Yunzhang had confessed before leaving that she had to find the shopkeeper for something, so the first thing she looked for was the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper studied the paper for a while, and was both surprised and delighted: "Girl, if this thing can really replace the slips and silk, then you have to give it away!"

"Shopkeeper, if you don't believe me, try writing a few words!" Ke Hanxue smiled sweetly.

"Are you willing to try writing for me?" The shopkeeper looked eager to try.

"Of course, I made five! And I will continue to do it in the future." Ke Hanxue took out the remaining four from her arms and showed them to the shopkeeper. She wanted to keep these few for Qiu Xin .

"Okay, then I'll give it a try!" The shopkeeper said, picked up a brush and wrote a few words on the paper - Fulin Restaurant

After the handwriting was dry, the shopkeeper picked up the paper, nodded while looking at it, and said with emotion: "It's easy to use, easy to use! Compared with the letter slips, it's not as good as it!"

"Shopkeeper, this paper is better than silk because it's cheaper!" Ke Hanxue added.

"Is this thing very cheap?" The shopkeeper asked in surprise, he thought it would be expensive.

"I haven't mass-produced it yet, so I can't tell you the exact price, but I promise this paper is cheaper than silk."

I saw the shopkeeper think for a while, and said cautiously: "Girl, this thing is different from fruit wine and bacon. This thing is amazing. If it really goes to the market, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Anyuan Kingdom. I think it's better to wait for my son to buy it." When you come back, you can discuss it with him again."

Hearing Ge Yunzhang's name, Ke Hanxue drooped his head, pursed his lips and said, "I don't even know if he will come back!"

"Who said my son won't come back?" the shopkeeper said angrily.

Ke Hanxue's eyes lit up: "Shopkeeper, are you sure Ge Yunzhang will come back?"

"My son's home is here, where can he go if he doesn't come back?"

"I thought..." In the middle of speaking, Ke Hanxue suddenly laughed: "Shopkeeper, if there is nothing else, I will go to the study."

After Ke Hanxue finished speaking, she left the restaurant in a good mood, because the shopkeeper's words reassured her, and the shopkeeper didn't seem to be coaxing herself. Since the shopkeeper said that Ge Yunzhang would come back, he would definitely come back.

When Ke Hanxue came to the study, every room in the study was full of guests, and there were several students who were learning from each other under the flower trees in the outer courtyard.

Ke Hanxue smiled and walked directly to the inner courtyard.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he saw Xiang Qiuxin painting on the stone table in the courtyard.

"Qiu Xin, it hurts the eyes to paint with such a big sun here." Ke Hanxue walked over happily.

"Xue'er, you came just in time, come and help me look at this painting, and mention a poem for me by the way!" Xiang Qiuxin just finished a painting, and Ke Hanxue came.

"Qiu Xin, I won't mention poetry today, I'll show you something good!" Ke Hanxue said, and handed over a few pieces of paper.

"Hey, what is this?" Xiang Qiuxin took it curiously, and looked at it again and again.

"This is paper, something that can be used to replace silk and slips."

"Paper?" Can it replace slips and silk?Xiang Qiuxin looked up at her in surprise.

"Qiu Xin, these sheets of paper are relatively small. I will use them for writing first, and I will get some larger ones for you to paint later." Ke Hanxue smiled.

Hearing this, Xiang Qiuxin put the paper on the stone table and tried to write a few words.

Looking at this silk-like thing, Xiang Qiu became excited: "Xue'er, you made this thing again?"

Xiang Qiuxin no longer knows how to describe her admiration for Ke Hanxue.

"That's right, but it's good that you alone know about it!" The shopkeeper's words made Ke Hanxue cautious, and she didn't want to cause trouble. She just hoped that Ge Yunzhang would come back earlier to help her out.

"I understand." Xiang Qiuxin happily held the few pieces of paper.

Seeing that Xiang Qiuxin was so happy, Ke Hanxue also giggled, imagining in her mind the scene when this paper will come out one day, and she will definitely be able to make a lot of money by then, right?
In the blink of an eye, it was time to harvest rice again. The Zhong family harvested their own rice, and then came to the Ke family to help them harvest the rice.

After harvesting the rice, Ke Hanxue picked up some mulberry branches and leaves, and made some paper for Xiang Qiuxin's use.

With paper, Xiang Qiuxin is like a demon. She is either writing poems or painting all day long. Unfortunately, the poems and paintings she made cannot be put up for sale because they are worried that others will find out the source of the paper.

On this day, as soon as Ke Hanxue entered the restaurant, she saw a group of officers and soldiers in armor running past the restaurant door very quickly.

Ke Hanxue's heart tightened. In this small town, you don't even see a yamen servant. How could there be so many officers and soldiers suddenly?
The shopkeeper in the restaurant also saw the officers and soldiers, hurriedly walked out of the restaurant, stood at the door of the restaurant and looked around nervously.

"Shopkeeper, did something happen in the town?" Ke Hanxue asked.

"I haven't heard of it." The shopkeeper frowned thoughtfully.

"Girl, I'll ask Xiaoer to take you to the street corner, and go back as soon as your father and brother-in-law are together. Don't come to town for a few days." The shopkeeper warned solemnly.

Officers and soldiers appeared in this town for no reason, something must have happened, he didn't want Ke Hanxue to take risks.

"I see, shopkeeper." Ke Hanxue was also infected by the shopkeeper's nervousness, and confessed uneasy: "Shopkeeper, if something really happens, you should close the restaurant and the pharmacy."

"I know, you can go now." The shopkeeper said and called a waiter to send Ke Hanxue to the street.
