Chapter 108: Sister

"Can Su Tuiguan write a Shinto monument (epitaph) for someone?"

"Write, so what?"

"I wonder how much someone will pay you for ghostwriting? And isn't it more difficult to write a Shinto monument? This is a problem, Yang Yi commented in the book that Kou Zhun can make big decisions and is not informal, so Song Zhenzong immediately promoted Kou Zhun as a supplement, but gave an extra hundred gold.

The price of gold and silver was very high in the Song Dynasty, at first one tael of silver was only equivalent to 500 Wen, and later because of a large number of losses to foreign countries, including the annual coins of Liaoxia, so it rose to 2,000 Wen, 3,000 Wen, and 4,000 Wen.

The same is true for the price of gold, at first it was one tael of gold equivalent to six or seven thousand Wen, then it rose to ten thousand Wen, and now it is moving towards the 20,000 Wen mark.

Yang Yi's pen fee is nothing more than that, how much can others give Xiao Su pen fee, it would be good if there was a few dozen yuan.

However, it is difficult to write an epitaph to verify the gains and losses of his life, his life and background, and to write his style and make a fair evaluation.

"Those are people I respect, or friends and relatives."

"Even so, those families sent stewards to find you, and I believe they also said something about bamboo paper, and you have also seen that the paper is relatively cheap, and it may reduce the price of paper by half. How many scholars will be able to pick up paper and read books? ”

"It took tens of thousands of dollars to study bamboo paper, but it was one thing to sell it, so I wanted to ask a few people to write some articles and poems to praise it in Yanzhou, so that everyone could know it and benefit the scholars quickly. The five famous ministers of Qingli, Fan Gong and Pang Gong died, Han Gong and Fu Gong were in the two mansions, and it was inconvenient to invite each other, so they invited Wen Gong to run the pen. But it can't be just Wen Gong's article, I thought hard and meditated, and I happened to hear the reputation of you and Zhang Zhixian, so they invited you. ”

"Su Tuiguan, your family used to be a second-class household."

This is Wang Ju's speculation, Lao Su traveled in the mountains and rivers when he was young, and the situation is still good when he wants to come to Su's house. But later, Su's mother took Da Su to Chengzhong County to study and rented a house in the city.

If you don't have the money and don't dare to do it, but you have a lot of money, then it's not renting a house, but buying it.

It is estimated that many old Su traveled in the mountains and rivers when he was young, spent a lot of money, and his family property had a downward trend. Therefore, Wang Ju judged that the Su family was a second-class household, or a third-class household.

"I believe that paper and books are expensive is also a confusion for your former Su family. I won't talk about the fifty gold, at least this kind of important event that is beneficial to the scholars, you can use some snacks. ”

"I don't know if this fifty gold can be considered to be able to buy this little fu, I'll count it, one, two, three...... Three hundred and seventeen words, it's really concise, fifty gold can be exchanged for a thousand yuan on the black market, three times a word, and the pen fee of the kind black is ......"

Before Wang Ju finished speaking, Xiao Su was taken away by him.

"Okay." Zhang Desheng and several people cheered at the same time.

"Good what?" Concubines pushed the door in and asked strangely.

"I've seen the temple...... Zhao Niangzi," Wang Ju saw that Zhao Niannu was in civilian clothes, so he changed his words, which reminded him of a few years ago, when his concubine and the tragic Yun'er talked to the palace several times.

"Mrs. Zhao came just in time," Wang Ju held a large bundle of papers from the corner of the house.

If you want to publicize, the capital can't be missed, and there are so many moves at this time.

Therefore, the steward of the Xi family brought a lot of paper and scattered it everywhere in the capital.

These moves are incomprehensible, but they don't need money anyway, so they accept it.

Wang Ju buckled a bundle and prepared to give it to Zhao Niannu and Zhao Ji as gifts.

"Why did you give me paper?"

"I owe it to me, and it's cheap, so it can cut the price of paper in half."

"Oh," Zhao Niannu opened to see.

Several other people looked at Zhao Niannu suspiciously, maybe not as young and lively as the fiancΓ©e when Wang Ju saw him off, but this young woman had an indescribable temperament.

It doesn't matter, there are many beautiful or temperamental women in the world, but Guan Jian is how Wang Ju met this young woman, it seems that he is still very familiar, it makes no sense, he listens to the accent is from the capital, and his demeanor is atmospheric, not those fireworks women.

So they all looked at him strangely.

"Why do you have such eyes, Zhao Niangzi used to visit relatives in Yanzhou, and she happened to know me, and I was still a child at that time." Wang Ju said in a low voice.

"I see," Mr. Zhang said.

Wang Ju was speechless, thinking to himself, I'm not a guy like you who has a brain like a sperm.

"Why did you drink well just now?"

"That's right," Wang Ju recounted what had happened.

Zhao Niannu had already seen the Fu above, and couldn't help but be happy.

"You little guy who catches tricks," Zhao Niannu stretched out his finger and knocked on the door of Wang Ju's head.

"Okay." Concubine also shouted.

Fifty gold, but a lot of money, Her Royal Highness the princess gave a thousand jiaozi, and the price of gold was only fifty taels. But what kind of kindness is that, a life-saving kindness.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still that sentence, Shinong Industry and Commerce, no matter what paper, even if Wang Ju has the means to go against the sky, increase the output of rice paper dozens of times, and the cost will drop to the cost of bamboo paper (rice paper is very famous in the Song Dynasty, but the cost is high and the output is very small), or paper, or craftsmen.

If it weren't for the fifty gold face, Xiao Su would have been able to sweep away the Yanzhou Qin steward who came to ask for poetry.

"He'll come," Wang said.

Don't say that the laws of the Song Dynasty can't be regarded as one thing now, it is the rule of law, and after receiving fifty gold, Xiao Su can't stop it.

Zhao Niannu nodded, she understood, Xiao Su had only one way to solve it, write a new fu, otherwise this bamboo paper would be full of Da Song Land, and his reputation would be stinky.

She smiled and took out a pair of jade bracelets, the color was warm and white: "Wang Lang, this is your sister." ”

"Yes."

"Little sister, this is a gift from my sister."

The second girl is confused, where is my sister?

"Take it," Wang Jule recognized this sister, but it was a great thing, even if Zhao Shuchao was not thin on Miao Guifei and Zhao Niannu. The other concubines were sad.

But it's just a casual name, how do you recognize this sister.

Zhao Niannu took out another inkstone, which had a turquoise boy carving, a blue and white inkstone pit, crystal clear and oily, and it was a first-class high-grade inkstone.

She looked at the crown prince again and said, "Wang Lang, this is your third brother." ”

"Yes."

"Visible state studies?"

"I'm studying in a private school, and occasionally I teach a lesson, and I plan to arrange it after this imperial examination is over."

"Little brother, this is the inkstone that my sister gave you."

In fact, these two gifts are not trivial, the latter is a tribute from the Duanzhou government to the royal family, and the former is a tribute brought by the Uighur envoys, which are worth hundreds of yuan on the market, but several people are considered to be dirt buns, including Zhang Desheng, although Zhang Desheng and Wang Ju faintly feel that they are extraordinary, or ignore the value of these two gifts.

"Second sister, third brother, thank you Mrs. Zhao."

You can't really call sister.

"Wang Lang, take a walk with me."

Wang Ju hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

But after a walk, Zhang Desheng and they were suspicious again.

Anyway, the further they go, the more painful the egg will be if they have a bad attitude......
