He stood up and told the middle-aged man as he walked: "Wang Kun, if she wants to print it, give her a receipt."

"I know, dad." Wang Kun agreed, glanced at Mrs. Cui, and stood there without saying a word.

The lady gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's seal it."

One hundred pennies is really nothing to her. She usually gives more than this to little beggars. As for the newspaper, she still has two templates in hand. Even if she is cheated, she will not lose much.

The woman behind her stepped forward, counted a hundred coins, and got a note written by Wang Kun indicating how much money was charged, how much money was left, and the printing quantity. It was also stamped with the words "Wang Ji Yinfang"

” seal.

"Get the goods in ten days," Wang Kun said.

"Ten days?" Mrs. Cui was surprised.

The speed is also incredible.

In an ordinary printing shop, whether it is engraving or movable type, it takes a lot of effort before printing because it requires engraving or typesetting. Her newspaper cannot be printed for less than 20 days. This is when there is no queue of customers in front of it.

.

If there are people waiting in line, it will take longer.

Wang Kun saw off the guest with an expressionless expression: "It's a good idea to leave."

Mrs. Cui went out in a daze.

Seeing the courtyard door closing behind them, the mother-in-law asked worriedly, "Madam, is this reliable?"

Mrs. Cui looked at the rather formal note, and then thought about the place Zhao Ruxi introduced her to. She calmed down and said, "It should be no problem."

One hundred pennies is not worth cheating, right? If it is really a liar, you must trick her first to see if she has a background and background.

Mrs. Cui is a daughter of an aristocratic family, and her husband's family is also an aristocratic family. Although she lives a simple life, the jewelry on her head is extraordinary, and her dress reflects the heritage of the aristocratic family. Even the carriage has the symbol of her husband's family.

There are many powerful people in the capital, and their relationships are complicated. Unless you are a stupid young man who doesn't understand anything, you don't dare to offend anyone easily. Even those princes are afraid of doing things.

So it is impossible for this family to lie to her for a hundred coins.

Back at the academy, Mrs. Cui wanted to tell Zhao Ruxi about this matter. But when she did, it seemed that she didn't trust the seal shop she was introduced to. She could only hold back and wait until ten days later.

Let’s see when the results come out.

Ten days later, Mrs. Cui went to the door again to get the newspaper. The middle-aged man named Wang Kun opened the door again. He pointed to a stack of newspapers on a table against the wall and said: "Everyone is here."

Here, you can ask someone to come in and move it."

Mrs. Cui walked over, picked up one of them and looked at it. It was indeed the same as the template she handed over. It was just that the paper was larger and the handwriting was larger. The paper was slightly harder and the handwriting on it was standardized and stereotyped. It was indeed printed.

. When you get closer, you can smell the smell of ink.

She was so shocked that she looked up at Wang Kun, but the man had already walked to the table and sat down, continuing to write his own words, as if he didn't care about them at all.

However, he spoke: "There are still 2,900 yuan left, please pay it."

Only then did Mrs. Cui come back to her senses. She immediately signaled her mother-in-law to pay, then turned around and ordered her servants to move the newspapers out.

Paper in this era was easily torn and wrinkled, and books were extremely valuable, so be careful when handling them.

Mrs. Cui's servants often move books and examination papers for the academy and are very experienced.

They rolled the newspapers into rolls, tied them with ropes, and put them into the wooden boxes they brought. When one box was full, they loaded another box.

Mrs. Cui watched them roll the newspaper and found that no matter which one the servant rolled, the newspaper shown underneath was the same as the one she was holding, and the same was true on the rolled back. She was relieved then.

She turned around and said to Wang Kun: "If I want to print another three hundred copies after a while, is there any problem?"

Wang Kun was writing something in an account book. When he heard this, he didn't stop and said casually: "No problem, the price is the same as now."

Mrs. Cui specially brought two more male servants and a mule cart today. Because of the large number of people, the three hundred newspapers were moved at once.

She saw that Wang Kun had no intention of entertaining her, not even asking him to sit down or pour him a cup of tea. Now that the newspapers had been moved, she had no choice but to leave.

"It's good to see you off." Wang Kun stood up and cupped his hands casually. As soon as they left, he closed the door.

"Let's go." Mrs. Cui got on the carriage and ordered, "Go directly to the eldest princess."

Ten days ago, she was afraid that this matter was unreliable, so she didn't want to tell the eldest princess. But the eldest princess remembered the newspaper and sent someone to ask her if she had asked Zhao Ruxi for advice, so she told her about it.

.

Maybe the eldest princess is also thinking about this at home now.

Sure enough, her carriage stopped at the door of the eldest princess's house, and the eldest princess personally greeted her and asked her, "How is it?"

"It's done." Mrs. Cui said, "The man printed the newspaper as expected. The printing was better than that of ordinary printing shops, and he didn't charge more. I asked him if he could print another three hundred copies, and he said yes.

.”

When she said this, there was no joy in her expression, and her expression was a little solemn. After hearing this, the eldest princess's face did not look happy, but her brows furrowed.

Mrs. Cui got out of the car and asked her servants to bring a box from the mule cart, and opened it to show Princess Shangde.

Princess Shangde did not give any orders to her servants. She stepped forward and pulled the rope, unwrapped a roll of newspapers herself, picked up one and looked at it, then looked at the back, and asked Mrs. Cui: "Are they all the same?"

"It's all the same." Mrs. Cui nodded.

"Let's go. Go in and talk." Princess Shangde took the newspaper and walked in, and went straight to the hall.

The two sat down separately as the guest of honor.

Princess Shangde asked Mrs. Cui: "What do you think?"

"I always feel that Zhiwei advanced the money to us," Mrs. Cui said.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain this matter.

Princess Shangde nodded: "I think so too."

Zhao Ruxi either felt embarrassed for taking over her village and wanted to give something back; or she wanted to contribute to what they were doing, so she secretly advanced the printing money. When Mrs. Cui came to find her,

The printing shop charged a small amount of money as a token fee.

"Go and make it clear to her that this is not a child's play." Princess Shangde's expression was not very good. "She can be a comfort for a while, but not for a lifetime. We can't explain it to the emperor if she acts like this."

"Yes." Mrs. Cui said goodbye and hurried back to the academy.

She sent someone to find Zhao Ruxi, and told her the importance of whether the newspaper would be successful, and said: "The eldest princess and I are very grateful for the advance, but we can't do things like this."

Zhao Ruxi opened her mouth several times but was interrupted by Mrs. Cui's tirade. It was only then that she had the chance to speak.

She shook her head: "I swear to God, I really didn't advance money for you. I proposed the idea of ​​running a newspaper, and I couldn't be clearer about the meaning and importance of its existence. Even if I had the intention, I would only donate money to you.

, you won’t do such stupid things secretly.”
