The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 61

The autumn wind is already cold, the Academy of Academy.

After returning to his study, Murong Bo threw all the teacups on the table in a rage.

He was holding back his anger along the way, but at this moment, he finally couldn't help it anymore, and he didn't have to. The study room was his little world, where he could do whatever he wanted.

But Murong Bo didn't get angry for a long time, after all he is a person with a deep sense of security, even if he gets angry, he will not forget his hatred and what he should do.

"Dong Yu, follow Liu Wei, I want to know everything about him, and I must make him look good."

Dong Yu didn't open his mouth until he heard Murong Bo's order.

"Don't worry, sir."

Dong Yu only said a word, and then left the study, but at the moment she left the study, she suddenly remembered the competition today, calligraphy and essays are what Murong Bo is good at, and the essays were written by Murong Bo early in the morning It was absolutely impossible for Liu Wei to win, but he actually won, and it was so easy.

Mount Tai collapses in the front but its color does not change, and the elk rises in the left without blinking.When Dong Yu thought of these words, for some reason, she thought of Liu Wei who was standing on the stage calm and breezy. She had never seen a man as calm as him.

It's a pity that such a calm man became Murong Bo's enemy, and Dong Yu has followed Murong Bo for many years, she knows very well what will happen to those who are considered enemies by Murong Bo, he will use every opportunity to destroy his enemies.

It was already noon when Liu Wei returned to the princess' mansion, the autumn afternoon sun was quiet, and it was very comfortable to shine on people.

Princess Ruyi was sitting idle in the pavilion in the mansion, and after Liu Wei sat next to her, Princess Ruyi smiled and said: "Today the son-in-law is the one who stole the limelight."

Liu Wei nodded: "The princess doesn't want my son-in-law to show off?"

"That's not true, it's just that I was surprised. I didn't expect the concubine's essay to be so good. No wonder he was so loud a few days ago, saying that if he takes the imperial examination, he must be the top scholar."

Princess Ruyi is naturally happy that Liu Wei won Murong Bo, and what the two of them said just now was just a joke.

When "Inner Art" was passed on to Kaifeng Mansion, King Jin was really taken aback. He never thought that an article like "Inner Art" was actually written by Liu Wei, but he really couldn't doubt it.

It's just that although he couldn't doubt it, there was a trace of guard in his heart.

Because of the exclusive power of military generals in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the emperors of the Song Dynasty have always been very jealous of generals, and the King of Jin is no exception. He thinks that Liu Wei can write such articles. He can become a pillar of talent in the Song Dynasty, but this pillar of talent can only be a civil servant, and a military officer must never let him do it.

King Jin felt that the emperor in the palace now thought the same way.
-
What others think doesn't matter much to Liu Wei. He has great ambitions and wants to turn the clouds and rains in the Song Dynasty, but he knows better that a person must learn to endure before he succeeds.

Before the time came, he had to endure it.

Therefore, after Liu Wei won the victory, he still lived a normal life. Every day, he went to the Liu Family Winery to make wine, or went to Kaifeng Mansion to check, and then accompanied the princess in the princess mansion. The two are already in love with each other. It's really consummated, but sometimes when we are together, it's okay to hold the little hand and be frivolous.

Besides, Liu Wei goes to one place every day, Guan's Bun Shop.

Every day, Liu Wei would go to Guan's Baozi Shop to buy two buns to eat, and gradually, he also got to know the father and daughter of Guan's Baozi Shop. The father's name was Guan Hong, and he was also a scholar many years ago. At that time, the army was in turmoil, and there was no future for studying. In order to make a living, I started selling steamed stuffed buns.

The daughter is called Guan Tsing Yi, and it’s not that she can’t speak since she was a child, but because she accidentally ate a poisonous mushroom when she was eight years old, so she became dumb. Guan Hong’s wife died early. He has never dared to spend the money from selling buns for medical treatment. He used to like drinking, but since his daughter became dumb, he has not drank alcohol for many years.

After Liu Wei learned about this, she often got close to their father and daughter, but they didn't seem to feel it, and only regarded Liu Wei as a good customer.For this, Liu Wei didn't care, and still went to buy their buns every day.

This morning, as soon as Liu Wei arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, the King of Jin said to him: "Master Liu, according to the formula you provided, we have already been able to refine refined salt on a large scale, and news has also come from Nantang and Wuyue. He said that he has sent people to the capital, and he will arrive in the capital in about half a month, Master Liu must be prepared."

When Liu Wei heard King Jin's words, he was overjoyed and said: "My lord, don't worry, I will try my best, but before selling refined salt to Southern Tang and Wuyue, shouldn't our people also taste the deliciousness of refined salt?" ?”

King Jin nodded, then looked at Su Tong, who smiled slightly: "Of course it is possible, but it is more troublesome to obtain refined salt, and it is much more expensive than coarse salt. I am afraid that the people in the capital will not buy it."

"Salt is used by almost every household, but the inns use the most. If they all think that refined salt is too expensive and don't sell it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to promote refined salt."

After Su Tongkan and King Jin finished talking, he cast his eyes on Liu Wei. In the entire Kaifeng Mansion, Su Tong understood strategy and was King Jin's think tank, but he thought he was not as good as Liu Wei when doing business. .

Liu Wei shrugged, then smiled slightly: "Actually, what's so difficult about it? It's very easy for those inns to buy refined salt, as long as they know that the meals made with refined salt are delicious, and the use of refined salt can attract customers. okay."

"Master Liu's words are not bad, but how should we let them know? Did the court send people to compel them to understand, or use some milder methods?"

"Refined salt must be controlled by the imperial court, and the sale must also go through the imperial court. If you want to buy it from other places, you must also have salt. We want to let the people in the inn know the benefits of refined salt, and we can have a folk food competition. As long as we let them know that the meals made with refined salt are better than useless ones, I believe that the benefits of refined salt will soon spread across the country. of."

After Liu Wei said this, King Jin and Su felt that this method was wonderful, and since the founding of the Song Dynasty ten years ago, business and trade were prosperous, so the folks should have a lot of fun.

And when Su felt that it was wonderful, he suddenly thought of the dumb girl selling buns, and when he thought of the dumb girl selling buns, he instantly understood Liu Wei's intentions.

Liu Wei wanted to help others, so he naturally had his own way.

"Okay, this king will order people to post a notice. Three days later, a food competition will be held at the Cuiming Building in the capital. Whoever wins the first prize will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."
-
After Liu Wei left Kaifeng Mansion, he planned to go to Guan Qingyi's place. Apart from eating steamed buns, he had to tell Guan Qingyi to participate in the food competition. As long as Guan Qingyi participated, Liu Wei would have a way for her to win the first place. As for King Jin He and Su looked at them separately, so they had to be busy posting notices and finding a few judges, because this competition meant to promote refined salt, so the judges should have famous chefs or gourmets in the capital, as well as people from the imperial court , and this matter is not difficult for King Jin at all.

Liu Wei walked through the already desolate street, and when he was about to arrive at Guan's Baozi Shop, he suddenly found that there was a lot of shouting and even crying in front of him, Liu Wei frowned, thinking badly, so he walked quickly .

At Guan's Bun Shop, a man held Guan Tsing Yi's wrist, and said with a wretched smile, "Little lady, let me have a good night with you, and I will make as many buns as you have here from now on, how about it?"

Guan Qingyi kept shaking his head, tears streaming down his face, Guan Hong lay on the ground with blood on the corner of his mouth, and begged for mercy: "Mr. Chen, please let me go. Please let me go. As long as you let me go ..."

"Old man, get out of here. Why do I want you to be a cow or a horse? I want your daughter to be a cow or a horse and let me ride it. What a beautiful little lady..." The man's words became more and more obscene, and the other hand even Can't help but touch Tsing Yi's face.

At this moment, a cold shout came from the crowd: "Stop!"

After the voice fell, Liu Wei had already walked out from the crowd. Guan Qingyi saw Liu Wei with gratitude in his eyes, but also a little bit of horror.

The man looked Liu Wei up and down, and then said coldly: "Oh, here comes a meddler, it seems that he thinks his life is too long."

Liu Wei smiled coldly, and said: "You guys are so bold, it's really lawless for the emperor to dare to rob people's daughters."

"Hmph? So what about lawlessness? Do you know who Lao Tzu is? No matter how powerful the law is, he can't control Lao Tzu."

In the capital city, there are many people with status and status. Liu Wei generally doesn't like to provoke these people, but today this man has provoked Guan Qingyi, so he can't ignore Liu Wei.

"It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you bully Goodness, I, Liu Wei, will never forgive you."

"Willow flavor?"

When Liu Wei reported his name, everyone was shocked. Liu Wei, is it Liu Wei who made Huanxisha, Shuidiaogetou, Queqiaoxian and "Xinshu"?Was it Liu Wei who won all three trial trials with Shen Tan?

"He is Liu Wei..." Someone in the crowd shouted, and then the surrounding people gathered around.But instead of surrounding Liuwei, he surrounded the man who bullied Guan Qingyi.They worship Liu Wei, and since Liu Wei wants to take care of this, they can no longer stand idly by.

Seeing this situation, Liu Wei suddenly said coldly to the man: "Let Miss Guan go."
