Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Chapter 85 Benefiting the Country and the People
  "Ah ha ha ha..." Shen Hao pointed at their faces and laughed unkindly.

Xiao Yichen clenched his fist to the corner of his lips and suppressed a smile.

"Wow..." Shen Yun and Shen An cried at the same time.

Shen Jia glanced at Shen Hao, who was gloating about his misfortune, and rolled his eyes silently. Her eldest brother liked the jokes of his two twin brothers the most, and she didn't know what kind of bad taste it was.

Shen Jia knelt down and hugged Shen Yun and Shen An, took away their daggers, and coaxed softly, "Good boy, don't cry. You are so young and don't have the strength to control this. Give these two daggers to my mother first." Put it away and wait until you become familiar enough with the wooden knife that you won't hurt yourself, then let me return it to you, okay?"

The wooden knife was a dagger made by Shen Jia from the miscellaneous wood on the mountain, and several scarecrows were tied to them for daily training.

Shen Yun and Shen An raised their tearful eyes and responded: "Okay!"

Shen Zhuoyun and Gu Shi heard their cries and ran out of the kitchen. Seeing that Shen Jia had coaxed them, they picked up the old hens and returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Shen Jia took out "Journey to the West" from the study and handed it to Xiao Yichen, "This is the storybook I talked about. Take a look."

Xiao Yichen took the script and read it carefully.

Shen Yun and Shen An also came to join in the fun.

"Brother Xiao, let me tell you that Sun Wukong is very powerful. His golden cudgel can beat goblins back to their original form!"

"It's Tang Seng, Sun Wukong's master. He is too stupid and is always fooled by Zhu Bajie..."

Shen Yun and Shen An started talking nonstop.

Xiao Yichen was multitasking, flipping through books and chatting with them at the same time.

By the time Shen Zhuoyun called for dinner, he had already finished reading.

Mrs. Gu always abided by the rules and etiquette and refused to eat at the same table with Xiao Yichen, a foreigner. Shen Jia had no choice but to move out a small table and sit with her on the small table to eat.

When they built the terraces last time, Mrs. Gu never appeared in front of them again except for boiling a pot of water and bringing it to the living room.

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything. She was born as a noble daughter of the Gu family, and the rules and etiquette were engraved in her bones. He was already grateful to her for allowing Shen Jia to go to Bozhou with him.

After the meal, Xiao Yichen asked, "Miss Shen, this is a good book of stories. How much do you plan to sell it for?"

"I don't know either, what do you think?"

"Xiao Ping, how much is the average price of a book for ladies in the capital?"

"Usually they cost two taels of silver each. Miss Shen's story books are much more exciting than those. I suggest you sell them for at least five taels of silver each."

Shen Jia touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll sell each copy for five taels of silver, and I'll give you one tael of silver for each copy."

"You have taught us papermaking and printing for free, so we don't have to pay for the hard work."

"That won't work. I will publish other story books in the future! If you don't charge me a hard-earned fee, I won't dare to trouble you. Just accept the hard-earned fee of one or two cents per book! We all benefit from each other and win-win cooperation! "

"That would be disrespectful to me."

Shen Jia smiled and said, "That's pretty much it."

The bookstore where the whole Shen family went together with Xiao Yichen's master and servant.

The three brothers Liu Erhu and Xiaobao did not come out when they heard the noise. Instead, they continued to study and practice calligraphy in the room.

Shen Jia only gave Liu Erhu and Liu Sanlin three months to read, memorize passwords, and learn martial arts. Now that they were halfway through, he had to work harder to study.

During the more than a month when Shen Jia and Shen Hao went to Bozhou, Shen Zhuoyun often went to the bookstore, and Liu Erhu asked him for help when he encountered words he didn't understand. Li Damei runs from Beili Village to Shusi every morning to practice martial arts with them, and often goes to the mountains with them for special training.

It was an improved version of Shen Jia's training as an agent in his previous life.

After this period of training, their physical fitness has made a qualitative leap.

In the next few days, Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, Shen Zhuoyun, and Shen Hao personally peeled, boiled, and bleached the raw materials, then pulped, screened, processed, made paper, and dried.

Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand and stroked the newly made paper. It was finer, smoother and thicker than the paper he usually used. A smile appeared on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and he said: "I want to write a text message to Grandpa Huang immediately, let's Xiaobai gave it to him."

After tests by Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen, it was proved that Xiaobai is a spiritual pigeon that can travel thousands of miles a day.

"Don't worry, you write a letter and print a letter for Xiaobai to take back with you. It's best to ask the emperor for a shop." Shen Jia said with a smile.

Shen Zhuoyun was frightened when he heard this, fearing that Xiao Yichen would be angry because Shen Jia had no respect for the imperial power.

He was about to take the blame on himself, but before he could speak, he heard Xiao Yichen say: "Well! That's a good idea!"

There was a trace of worry in Shen Zhuoyun's eyes. It seemed that he had to have a good talk with Jia'er when he went back. This is the era of imperial power. You must have awe of the imperial power. People's hearts are unpredictable. When others think you are useful, you can do anything. You have to worry about it. When others think you are useless, you will find faults. When the time comes, you will be in trouble if someone charges you with lese majeste.

Xiao Yichen did as he said, cut a piece of paper and wrote a letter to Emperor Jingwen.

Shen Jiaze found the typeface and prepared it for printing.

Shen Zhuoyun has asked people to carve all the commonly used calligraphy patterns out of rosewood. These Yangwen characters are all beautifully carved, trimmed neatly, and have the same size and height.

Shen Jia picked up his letter, typed it, separated the lines with bamboo slices, filled the frame, used small bamboo slices to flatten and stuff it tightly, spread ink and spread paper for printing.

This is an imitation of the muhuozi printing invented by Mr. Wang in his previous life.

Xiao Yichen picked up the letter printed by Shen Jia, with eyes filled with wonder, and then bowed deeply to Shen Jia: "Miss Shen, thank you for doing another good thing for the court that benefits the country and the people. Your contribution is greatly appreciated, Grandpa Emperor." Will forget."

Shen Jia smiled and said: "Don't worry, if the emperor forgets, I will remind him, I will remember it!"

Shen Jia took the bamboo whistle from his purse and blew it gently. Xiaobai flew down from nowhere and landed on Shen Jia's shoulder.

"Cuckoo"

Shen Jia touched its feathers and poured a sugar pill from a small porcelain bottle for it to eat.

Xiaobai likes to eat candy pills, especially all kinds of candy pills with flower flavor.

"Gugu" Xiaobai rubbed Shen Jia's palm.

Shen Zhuoyun looked at it with great curiosity, "Jia'er, where did this little white pigeon come from? It looks very spiritual."

"Xiao Yichen and I rescued it from the mountains. Don't underestimate it. It can travel thousands of miles in a day?"

Shen Zhuoyun smiled and said, "Jia'er is so awesome, I found a treasure this time."

Shen Jia smiled proudly and said, "That's right."

Xiao Yichen rolled up the small note and tied it to Xiaobai's leg, then touched its feathers and said, "Go!"

Xiaobai flew up into the sky with two "coo" sounds, and soon became a small black dot.
