446, daughter presents flowers
In the past six months, various newspapers and magazines in the Yuanlong Dynasty have blossomed like mushrooms after a rain. The prosperity of the newspaper industry will inevitably promote the prosperity of a series of related industries, and the printing industry is the first to bear the brunt of it.
Although artificial wood movable type printing is used, after the continuous improvement of the smart craftsmen, the people of Kyoto can see all kinds of printed newspapers as they wish in almost three days after the news occurs.
After repeated defeats and battles, the merchants who run newspapers finally realized that the most important thing in the media industry is not pomp, nor price, nor celebrity effect. For a newspaper, the most important thing is information.
The information itself has its own characteristics that cannot be ignored, that is, it is timely and accurate. As long as you grasp these two points, you will not worry about not having an audience.
Therefore, every slightly larger newspaper will set up a large publicity column in front of the door, and manually copy the latest news, and then post it as soon as possible to ensure that anxious audiences can take a look.
Whether it is Yuanlong Business Daily or Kyoto Shorthand, or the official Dibao, Kyoto people can afford it, but it costs a few cents per serving, it is just a small amount of cake. But once you have a report, you can see the world. It is the real "you can know the world without leaving your home." Besides, when you get together with your friends, you will always have some topics of conversation.
At this time, those newspapers secretly admired the founding work of Kyoto newspapers, "Joyful" - the newspaper promised that the price would never rise when the market was stable, which also caused some old business people to laugh. Now, all newspapers that frequently raised prices have gone bankrupt, and "Joyful" has always firmly sat on the first place in the Yuanlongchao Women's Newspaper, collecting the most expensive advertising fees, and launching a dazzling and exciting supplement.
If you find another enlightened move to "Pleasing Yourself", it will be the newspaper and magazine publicity column. Although printing can solve the problem of copying a large number of newspapers and magazines, it cannot be absolutely fast. If you want people to have a sneak peek, you still have to rely on the pen in your hand.
Such visionary behavior was done by "Pleasant Self-Person". Moreover, this magazine did not involve other types of newspaper information share, but only focused on doing its own female magazines: food, beauty clothing, beauty makeup, beauty, and beautiful articles.
In addition to the war version that is freely distributed as a charitable act, the remaining content is inseparable from the business of three sentences. All the written, recorded and drawn are the content that women are most happy to see.
Other female magazines in Kyoto can only gossip on the odds, either mainly commenting, banquet gossip, or boudoir poetry. Compared with the powerful "Sounding Self", they are all small-scale fights.
For example, although the tabloid "Suo Chuang" is particularly elegantly named, the content is full of bloody gossip news from various circles.
Such a newspaper that is "afraid of the world will not be in chaos" sells very well because of its strong timeliness.
There is a newspaper shelf in Xiaoxiao's study, and newspapers and magazines in Kyoto are here. Now he is flipping through the book "Suo Window": "This tabloid is not easy, and he actually sent reporters to count the number of people in front of each Xianglu shop! He has been watching for a full ten days!"
Xiao Dier looked sneer: "Last time I said that the girl looked dark with a garland, which was written by their family!"
Xiaoxiao disagreed: "Ha, they dare to write anything." As he said that, he carefully studied the number of people above, "I believe they have also conducted a serious investigation. The number of people who bought scented lotus is similar to the ones recorded in the shop."
Xiaoxiao looked at the data of these Xianglu shops carefully. In the past ten days, the Wen family has only narrowly surpassed the Zhu family, while the Wen and Zhu families are far better than other Xianglu shops.
Xiaoxiao opened the commentary magazine "The Thrush Bridge" again. This magazine specially invited a few experts who know how to smell the fragrance, and the articles he wrote were quite insightful.
As he flipped through, he frowned slightly: "The Zhu family is in Xianglu itself, the Wen family is in its original fame and the business operation this time? The Wen family is just doing a good advertisement?" After reading a few articles, he was a little annoyed and threw the booklet aside.
While Xiaoxiao doubted whether these incense smellers had collected the money from the Zhu family, she wrote randomly; while comforting herself, Xizi Xianglu is the gentlest of the four incense sweets, and the several incense heavy objects at the back have not yet been unsheathed!
Xiao Dier picked up the booklet and opened it to look: "Mr. Zu Pu, the girl admired the most, said a fair word: Xizi is like a girl, with a cute and silly spirit; the green pearl is like a bride, with a charming fragrance. Mr. Yu is afraid that he will do his best, and warm and simple roads will accumulate strength."
"This is almost the same." Xiaoxiao slapped the veil in his hand.
Xiao Di'er held a fan and fanned the girl gently, and smiled and asked, "Did you pack up all the fans?"
"Now it's almost the Xiaoman solar term, so I naturally have to take out the fans." Xiao Dier was holding a round fan with a pair of cute Siamese cats on it.
As the master and servant were talking, they saw Eli bringing in a big flower basket: "These are the flowers the girl wants."
Xiaoxiao then remembered that she planned to help Shanniang arrange flowers today.
Shan Niang is in labor, but there is no sign of giving birth. Now her belly is so big that she is even struggling to arrange flowers. Today, Xiaoxiao rests, so she takes the initiative to ask for a few bottles of flowers to her mother's room.
Xiaoxiao looked at the basket and picked all the flowers he ordered, some of which were bought from the flower shop. He was very satisfied: "These iris are very beautiful, and it is rare that you even picked green wheat strips."
Eli smiled pursed her lips and said, "I asked the little girls to pick them in Xiaotang Village. I was afraid of being abrupt, so I asked someone to go to the old lady's place to report first. The old lady heard that our wife wanted to arrange flowers, so she said that even if she picked them, she would pick acre of land!"
Everyone who said it laughed.
Xiaoxiao chose green wheat ears, blue-purple iris, and thinly gathered into a bunch, and inserted it into a thin sweet white porcelain bottle; he also chose snow-white single-petal wild roses, two slender spotted bamboos, and inserted it into a black glaze celestial ball bottle; he also picked a few roses with pink flower hearts in jade, and put them into a large bunch of snow-white stars, and put them into a crystal flower bag with good water.
"Forget it, I only have this skill. Flower arrangement is a science, and I can't catch up with my mother no matter how much I learn." After Xiaoxiao put the flowers in, she picked up the round fan and fanned it again. Somehow she felt sweaty in her forehead, but she just inserted three bottles of flowers.
Several girls followed the girl in a vase and walked all the way to the front yard.
Shan Niang was standing in the corridor, holding the vermilion pillar in her hand, looking at the scenery in the garden with a quiet face. When she saw her daughter walking over with a vase in her hand, a deep smile appeared on her face.
"I heard last night that my mother could not even put flowers in, so my daughter gave it a few bottles of flowers to bring it to her." Xiaoxiao handed the vase to the maid beside her, and went up to help Shanniang, "Have you stood there for a long time? Do you want to sit down and rest?"
Shan Niang smiled slightly: "It's better to go back to the house and bend on the kang for a while. Her feet have been swollen these two days, but she can't always lie down, so she forced herself to walk around the yard."
Xiaoxiao felt sorry for her mother: "What the doctor said was not accurate. She said she was going to have a child a few days ago, but it was still not moving today."
"These two children are calm, not as naughty as you were back then. They ran out half a month early." Shanniang was supported by her daughter and sat on the kang, looking at the vase of flowers placed on the table, "They look good."
Xiaoxiao saw that there were still flowers here, and each bottle was much better than himself - only a piece of snowflake was inserted in a small garlic bottle of blue and white porcelain; a few very stunning half-dried bamboos were placed at a very clever angle, which only made people appreciate the shadow of the bamboo hitting the pink wall, hazy and graceful; the old monk's clothes, glaze bowls and cups were covered with green moss, and long and short grass was inserted into it, which was a posture of trying to grow upward, and the tip was as elegant as long beards of chewing hair.
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise: "I like the grass in this bowl. If you have two lines of poetry, it would be: Once you have a good eyebrow, you can break your freedom!"
"The poem is good, and these grasses are not that good." Shan Niang smiled and looked carefully at the bottles of flowers her daughter had inserted for herself. As a mother, she naturally liked any bottle. In comparison, what she liked the most was the bottle of green wheat strips and iris in front of her: "This bottle is the most rare. It is so simple and sparse, but it is full of infinite mountains and wildness, and the color is refreshing and pleasant."
"It's the best thing that I can like!" Xiaoxiao happily placed the white porcelain bottle on the kang table closest to Shanniang.
"Did these wheat ears be picked from the old man's field?" Shanniang asked.
Xiaoxiao nodded: "My grandfather planted a lot of fields this year, and it is said that Zhuangzi, his hometown of Yanzhou, has also reclaimed a lot of wasteland."
"The emperor finally agreed to the old man's request, and from then on, our Tang family will no longer be the imperial court's gold harvest." Shan Niang said calmly, "The old man can naturally rest assured and farm steadily."
Xiaoxiao has also heard of this important news. Although she is extremely grateful, she is also a little regretful: "From now on, our Tang family will no longer be the Golden Tang family."
I always thought this name was famous.
"For a family, a name outside is not important, the most important thing is the inheritance of family tradition."
Xiaoxiao felt that his mother was right, and asked again, "Who is the one who took over the Tang family as the gold inheritance?"
"It's the Mi family."
Xiaoxiao didn't know much about these royal merchants, and he didn't know who the Mi family was: "Now my fifth uncle is so at ease."
Remembering that a while ago, Mr. Tang Wu insisted on recommending himself to the court, intending to replace his father to continue the Tang family's golden inheritance. His grandfather and grandmother tried their best to stop him, and then gave up.
Uncle Wu was not in a hurry. He finally fell on the Korean ginseng. Since he tasted the sweetness last time, he went to North Korea to stock up on a large number of Korean ginseng despite the opposition. Unexpectedly, the Kyoto market was saturated and the price of Korean ginseng plummeted. This is not the large number of goods that were delayed on the road due to the war in the north. The processing of those goods is still unresolved.
Tang Qifan has been urging his fifth brother to urge him: the business is definitely not a casino.
But any advice is pale and powerless in front of a gambler who is red-eyed.
This time, Mr. Tang Wu lost the most. Now, when he heard that his father was going to quit his wealthy man from the Golden Chengcai, he naturally refused to give up. Then he had the matter of yelling to recommend himself.
I heard that the old lady secretly gave her younger son two shops, and she was a child from her hometown, so she could not stand by her death and never let her save her.
The other house leaders just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. Besides, it was originally an old lady's shop, so they would give it to anyone they wanted.
"By the way, Aruan came to see me just now and brought many new books from their printing club." Shan Niang changed the topic.
"This year, their four-bedroom business is good. Due to the rise of the newspaper industry, my fourth aunt's seal club is almost overwhelmed. It is said that she will open another large seal club in the suburbs of Beijing."
Shan Niang nodded: "Since our exhibition hall held a silk fabric exhibition last month, it has led your fourth uncle's big inn to make money. This month, the medicinal materials exhibition will be held. Most of the medicinal materials businessmen from all over the world have come to Kyoto. It is said that your fourth uncle's inn is full."
"I have seen it all in Yuanlong Business Daily. The coverage of the exhibition is very long. It is said that those foreign merchants envious of our Kyoto newspapers. It would be great if the newspapers could be sold all over the country."
"I'm afraid that the horse will be sent to another place, and even the new news will become old news."
"There will always be a solution." Xiaoxiao has no time to think about these things. It will be April 15th in a few days - the day for the Zhu family and the Wen family to launch the second bottle of beautiful women's fragrance.
The author has something to say: Everyone will have a stage of confusion, and all they can do can only be achieved by relying on their own strength.
Once my eyebrows are formed, I can be free and free. That's what I'm talking about.
In addition, health is the most important thing, and it is the capital of everything!
