The time of three days was really too fast, Xia Hongsheng sent a newspaper to the East Palace every day, and then Li Chengqian presented it to the emperor. Because he knew that the emperor had already started to read the newspaper, Xia Hongsheng intended to pay more attention to the content of the newspaper. From comments on the policies of the imperial court to anecdotes of Chang'an such as the opening of the East Market; From telling the history of Turkic "aggression" to calling on the people to fight the Turks together; From the new liquor factory launched a new liquor, named Wuliangchun, to a gang of scoundrels in Anxingfang who fought and was arrested and ate the board...... All kinds of content are included in it. Especially in political discussions, Xia Hongsheng also deliberately made two different articles, arguing and refuting each other's policies on the policies of the imperial court in the newspapers, and expressing their own opinions. Naturally, as in the previous newspapers, all the articles published on it were signed under different pseudonyms.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the East Market to open.

It was also the day when Xia Hongsheng's bookstore opened.

Early in the morning, there were already a lot of people at home, all of whom went to support Xia Hongsheng's façade. Of course, several shareholders of the printing house were the first to arrive, and when they arrived in Xiafu, the congratulatory gifts had already arrived directly in Dongshi.

Soon, the group of gentlemen who often played together, as well as people from several families who had good friends at home, also came.

Naturally, no matter who comes from the family, they are all young people of Xia Hongsheng's generation. In the end, it is to save face, and the elders in charge of the family cannot come, otherwise they will be said to have a connection with the businessman. If you don't come, it is contrary to the friendship between them, so it is most suitable for the family to be the same generation as Xia Hongsheng, and the juniors who are treated as friends come in the name of individuals.

After congratulating for a while, Xia Hongsheng went to Dongshi with everyone.

The East Market opened today, and specially invited people from the pear orchard to come to help the fun, and there are many side programs to watch, which is very lively. And this group of young people. Most of them are the most hilarious.

By the time everyone arrived in the East Market, it was already crowded with people, one after another.

Breaking through the crowd and walking to the door of the bookstore, what immediately caught my eye was a few big characters that looked like a breeze - Sanwei Bookstore.

Xia Hongsheng has always liked this name, and now that he has traveled to Datang, he finally has the opportunity to use it himself.

"Three Flavors Study...... Three flavors! "Not all the people who are good friends with Xia Hongsheng are gentlemen. There is also a young scribe like Wei Shuyu, who has a very strict family education, and now he can see the plaque of Xia Hongsheng's bookhouse, so he muttered: "But I don't know why Jingshi is three flavors? ”

"Yes, yes, why is it called 'Three Flavors Study', why is it not 'Four Flavors' and 'Five Flavors'? I wonder what this says? Hearing Wei Shuyu ask, someone immediately echoed and asked.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "This can be tasted by the gentlemen themselves, originally." Different people have different tastes, and when I say it, I only say that I understand, but it is not the taste of the kings, so it is not interesting. ”

Everyone flocked to Xia Hongsheng into the study room, and saw that there were neat rows of bookshelves placed on one side of the main hall, while the other side was empty, not bookshelves. Instead, some tables and chairs are still neatly arranged. The book house is elegant and quiet. The decoration inside looks quite quaint, but it does not look dull and old, but as soon as you enter, it makes people feel simple and relaxed.

"Brother Sheng, are you going to teach?" The eldest grandson Chong pointed to the table and chairs. Asked.

"Where, there's for people to sit down and read." Xia Hongsheng shook his head and explained with a smile: "This bookstore is a place to sell books. While selling books, if someone comes to look through them. Yes, too. ”

Wei Shuyu was a little taken aback and asked, "Jingshi, aren't you afraid of breaking the book?" ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "Don't be afraid, but if you want to buy any books on the shelves, this business will naturally have to be done." If you don't have the money to buy it, it's okay to just look through the store. There are many of these books on the shelves. I guess you don't know yet, Master Li, Master Yan, and Master Kong have been reprinting many unique and rare books together with the printing house since a long time, and seeing the things in those unique books reprinted, you can take a look, there are many extremely rare unique books in my Sanwei Book House - however, it will not be rare in the future. ”

"Oh?!" As soon as he heard Xia Hongsheng say this, the eyes of several people who came with him immediately lit up, and they immediately threw themselves into the bookshelves and looked back and forth.

"Brother Sheng, the same is true above the second floor?" Someone else asked.

Xia Hongsheng then led everyone up to the second floor, but saw that the second floor was divided into small partitions one by one, with desks, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and all the compartments were all sitting near the window, and what was even more amazing was that the window was almost the front wall. The tall floor-to-ceiling windows allow people sitting in the private room to see the streets and passers-by outside, and sit in the private room and look down, as if the hustle and bustle of the world are reflected in the eyes, so that people can observe the world. Looking up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, leaving a trace of a white bird flying in the sky, gentle and quiet, distant and profound.

For these floor-to-ceiling windows, Xia Hongsheng liked them very much, and hesitated for a long time, because the hardness of the glass made in the glass workshop today cannot reach the hardness of the whole floor-to-ceiling windows, so Xia Hongsheng took a step back and did not make the effect of a whole piece of glass. It looks better, but it's not safe, so it's still framed floor-to-ceiling windows. But even so, it is enough to shock the people of this era.

Sure enough, everyone was shocked, hurriedly crowded to the floor-to-ceiling window to look outside, and scrambled to sit in the private room.

"Jingshi, how can there be a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, what is this rattle for?" Everyone was curious, and someone asked.

Xia Hongsheng continued to explain: "The first floor is a place to read and sell books. This second floor, in fact, is the same, but quieter, more private, sit down and look out the window, write down a few thoughts, or call a pot of tea, and taste and think, isn't it also a very interesting thing? As for the bell, as long as the person sitting in the private room rings the bell, the waiter outside will follow the sound and wait for him. After all, it is a place to read books, shouting loudly is unacceptable, and the bell is crisp and beautiful, which can not only call the waiter, but also not disturb other people who read the book. ”

"Not bad! Not bad! Well, what a place! Wei Shuyu looked around excitedly, the environment here was very attractive for a scribe like him.

Xia Hongsheng looked at a group of people, these are all people who have seen big scenes, and they are picky, and they can like it so much, it can be seen that the layout of the book house is very successful.

"I would like to take this opportunity to help publicize it, if you know some people with good literary talents, please also persuade them to submit their manuscripts to the printing house, whether it is poetry or miscellaneous articles, or legendary scripts, as long as they are well written, the printing house will give them money, and print their works and sell them in the bookstore, and the proceeds from the sale will also be shared with the author." Xia Hongsheng took the opportunity to say to everyone: "Anything that can be favored and printed by the printing house will be an excellent work, and it will also be beneficial to the spread of its reputation, please pay attention." ”

Who doesn't know some literati and artists? So naturally, they all agreed. (To be continued.) )
