Splendid Peasant Girl: The Reborn Husband Asks for a Hug

Chapter 234
"ink?"

Fang Shengyu held the smooth and moist ink stick, pointed to the gold-painted characters on it, and asked in surprise, "This ink is exquisitely made, but besides its beautiful appearance, is there anything else that makes it different?"

Chu Ning smiled, "You'll know if you try it."

After hearing this, the six sons immediately went forward to prepare ink, Chu Ning said, "I don't need you, let him do it by himself."

Hearing what she said, Fang Shengyu became more interested, and immediately rolled up his sleeves, "I'll do it."

After adding water and grinding it finely, he obviously felt that the texture was different from other ink sticks. "It is light when picked, cleared when rubbed, sweet when smelled, firm as jade, and silent when ground. It is really a good thing."

Chu Ning smiled and said, "The color is black and lustrous, firm and shiny, it won't fade into the paper, and it won't fade after a long time."

Fang Shengyu's eyes were amazingly bright, "You made this?"

Chu Ning nodded, "Yes."

Fang Shengyu laughed, "Haha, you are trying to make a fortune."

Chu Ning also laughed, "Not to mention the complicated production process, it takes a lot of time and effort. It won't take two years to make it, and the profit is not low. After all, poets and painters are not short of money.

However, big profits are not necessarily a good thing, especially for people like us, who have no foundation in the capital where the rich and powerful walk the streets, and it is impossible to keep the recipe. The life of the family is involved, so I didn't plan to do this..."

Fang Shengyu nodded, "This is what you started doing after meeting the little princess?"

Chu Ning's smile deepened, "You guessed it."

Fang Shengyu frowned, "The princess's status is naturally noble, but she is still young..."

Chu Ning understood what he meant, "She is the youngest child of the emperor, and she has no mother, so the emperor takes pity on her, so regardless of her young age, her status is not low."

Fang Shengyu frowned, "That's good, with the princess as your backer, you can let go of your hands and feet."

Chu Ning said that she had been preparing for so long just for this moment, "The imperial court takes examinations for scholars every three years, with 300 people each time, but the number of candidates who come to take the examinations is several times that of each state. He is a leader in the government, so it is really not easy to break out of the siege and get a title on the gold list."

"Yes."

Fang Shengyu nodded, "It's not easy."

Chu Ning smiled and said, "So every year of the imperial examination, the incense in the temple is particularly strong."

Fang Shengyu understood her meaning in seconds, "It is said that the price of incense will increase several times at this time."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Fang Shengyu said, "They are willing to give up such an expensive incense, and even more willing to give up the ink that allows them to write beautiful characters, so how much money do you plan to sell?"

Since this thing is not easy to get, it should be more expensive, otherwise it would be a waste of work for them.

Chu Ning stretched out his index finger and gestured, "How is it?"

Fang Shengyu's eyes widened, "You are worthless, it's a waste of effort to sell it for only ten taels after putting in so much effort."

Chu Ning grinned, "Who said it was ten taels, I said 100 taels."

100 two!

Fang Shengyu frowned wildly, "Well, is it a little taller?"

"Rare things are more expensive."

Fang Shengyu thought so too, the candidates who went to Beijing to rush for the exam were not short of money, if they were sold at a low price, they would make them look down on them.

Besides, Chu Ning has expended so much effort to sell things cheaply.

"It's still more than a month away from Chunwei, when do you plan to open the sale?"

"It will start after the Lantern Festival."

"Okay, then I will go to Wenhui to promote it to you."

Now that Chu Ning has made an appointment with He Lianzhen, Fang Shengyu naturally doesn't want to mix it up. On the day of Shangyuan Festival, he didn't go out. He thought that he would spend the festival with Liuzizhuzi and the others today. He didn't want Wu Xibin and Yan Wenjin to go out early. I just came over and said that I wanted to spend the holiday with him.

Fang Shengyu blinked, "In such a big festival, you don't come to accompany the elders in the Hui clan, but come to accompany me, are you sure you won't be beaten?"

Wu Xibin smiled and said, "I didn't say to stay for a day."

Fang Shengyu turned to look at Yan Wenjin when he heard the words, "What about you?"

Yan Wenjin lowered her eyes, "I am no longer from the Yan family in the capital."

"what?"

Fang Shengyu was a little dumbfounded, "You were kicked out of the house? What did you do?"

No, Yan Wenjin is Xie Yuan, this time Chun Wei is also a top hit, with a talent like him, even if the Yan family is crazy, he can't be pushed out of the door.

"You, you left the clan?"

Yan Wenjin said in a low voice, "Yes."

Fang Shengyu was a little dizzy, he actually left the clan on his own initiative, is he so stubborn.

Subconsciously, he was about to ask why, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

After lunch, Wu Xibin left, and Yan Wenjin left early the next morning. Fang Shengyu was stupid, forgot the lesson from the beginning, and wanted to get Yan Wenjin drunk so that he could catch him, but he was not drunk yet. He had slid under the table.

In order to take care of him, Yan Wenjin didn't go back at night.

Fang Shengyu slept until noon, and when he opened his eyes, he was still a little confused, but when he saw the bright light coming in through the window, he sat up in a jerk, "It's broken, it's broken, I said it's good to cheer, As a result, I slept until now, it's over, it's over!"

The other courtyard he bought was a little far from the main city, and there were so many pedestrians on the road that the carriage couldn't run at all. It was almost noon, and before they turned into Canary Street, he jumped out of the car in a hurry and went on foot. Canary Street.

The entrance of Moxiang Pavilion is not big, and the location is not very good, but it is next to the largest bookstore in the capital, and there are still quite a lot of scholars, but the reputation has not yet been established. I know that there are not many good inks in their house. .

So there are not many people in the store.

Fang Shengyu hurried over, seeing the scattered firecrackers and confetti in front of the store, he knew the opening ceremony was over, "Chu Ning!"

"Chu Ning, I'm sorry, I agreed to come to cheer, but I drank too much yesterday..."

A man in front of the counter suddenly turned around, Fang Shengyu looked at him in disbelief, "Yan Wenjin, why are you here?"

Yan Wenjin couldn't believe it, "What do you mean, this store was opened by Ning Ning?"

Fang Shengyu...

I didn't say it, you said it.

"...Well, you're thinking too much."

Yan Wenjin moved suddenly, he swept past Fang Shengyu like a gust of wind, brushed up to the second floor, and disappeared in an instant.

Fang Shengyu was in a hurry, "You, you come down for me, why are you running around?"

Most of the street-facing shops in Beijing are two-story, and there are also many three-storey and four-story shops, but they are all large-scale shops, which are generally used as restaurants, post houses, and tea houses. Layers are fully utilized.

But in a small shop like Moxiangge, the upstairs is usually a place for the owner to work and rest, because the passenger flow will not be very high, the shop on the first floor can be used, and there is no need to lay out goods on the second floor, saving manpower Material resources increase costs.

In the room, Helian Zhen was acting coquettishly, "Xiao Ningning, why don't you go out with me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a bang, the door was opened, and a blue shadow flew in like a ghost, "Ning Ning, Ning Ning!"
