What's going on?
Didn't you ask sister Ying'er to call us?
The grievances the two of them feel in their hearts——
I dare not say it, but I ran away in dejection with my head hanging down. I was so excited when I came, but so depressed when I left. I thought I had another chance for everyone to make a contribution, but ended up getting kicked in the head.
This is a dad!
Seeing that Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang were beaten, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai looked at each other and ran away without saying a word.
After Wang Zi'an sent away Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others, Yun Xuzi and Qing Xuanzi also stood up to say goodbye and returned to the small courtyard where they lived.
Although their master and apprentice live in Wang Zi'an's mansion, they are really low-key and quiet. They rarely even go out to the yard unless there are any special circumstances.
Mrs. Liu wanted to help with the housework, but Wang Zi'an sent her back to rest.
Xue Rengui's wife always rushes to clean up the housework when there is nothing to do, and it's not like there are no servants at home to do the work.
However, the disciples did not leave. They gathered around the master and talked with Wang Zi'an.
Wang Zi'an stood on the steps, looking at the courtyard that he could not see beyond, and looking at the furnishings that he had intentionally or unintentionally remodeled in the style of later generations, and felt a little dazed.
Everything in front of him was like a living dream, which always made him feel a little unreal.
"Master——"
Feeling someone tugging at his cuffs, Wang Zi'an looked down and saw Wu Zetian looking up at him with concern. Not far away, Su Su was wearing a beige palace dress with a dark red belt around her waist. Wearing a wide waistband with hollow patterns, she was standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at herself lively, as beautiful as a painting of a beautiful lady in ancient costume.
Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai were gathered together, gesticulating and discussing something heatedly. Ma Zhou, who was thin and had just put on a brand new fur coat, was not far away helping Gu Zhong prepare for the upcoming New Year's Eve dinner.
All the maids and servants put on new clothes, with smiles on their brows.
"It's Chinese New Year——"
Although Wu Zetian didn't know why her good-looking master suddenly said this, she still blinked her big bright eyes and nodded seriously.
"It's the New Year! After this New Year, Xu'er will be eleven -"
When it came to the eleventh day, he subconsciously stood on tiptoes to make himself look taller.
Looking at Wu Zetian who was trying hard to hold up her small chest, Wang Zi'an suddenly turned around, stretched out his big hand, rubbed Wu Zetian's small head, and let out a long sigh of relief.
I cursed secretly in my heart, you bitch is just hypocritical!
I would never dare to think about the kind of life I have today in my previous life.
Huayu Guangsha, rich clothes and fine food.
Surrounded by epic disciples, after the beginning of spring, he also has to marry two incredible wives. What else is there to be pretentious about?
He couldn't help but smile, took Wu Zetian's little hand, turned around and greeted several apprentices.
"Let's go and play mahjong -"
Upon hearing this, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai immediately gathered around.
Some time ago, a brand new mahjong was just polished, using the finest Hetian jade.
It's not luxury, it's mainly for the feel.
It's just like that if it's left in a warehouse and gathers dust. Why not take it out and make a toy.
After Ma Zhou finished his work, he also came over. He came late and didn't understand, but he was very smart and figured out the rules after just a few turns. Taking advantage of Xi Jun's break to go to the toilet, he started directly and even got confused several times in a row.
Seeing that the copper coins in front of her master were getting less and less, Wu Zetian couldn't help it anymore and began to give orders.
Wang Zi'an was still a little unconvinced at first, but since he had already lost like this, no matter how hard he fought, he could still lose, so he just wanted to be amused, Wu Zetian said to fight this one and that one. As a result, after one round, Lian Hu Three handfuls.
Wang Zi’an:……
So, it turns out that the rookie is me?
"As a teacher, I just want to find an opportunity to give you some lucky money, and then you can have fun -"
Having said this, Wang Zian stood up.
"Xu'er, come -"
After saying that, he didn't walk away, just stood behind Wu Zetian with his arms folded and watched the fun.
A few idiots who didn't know how to look at me didn't even know how to secretly give me cards as my teacher!
Do you really think I can't cure you?
Sure enough, after Wu Zetian came to the table, she began to show off her power and beat the three big men to pieces. The copper coins in front of her were reduced at a glance.
Seeing these three dogs scratching their heads and scratching their heads like bears, Prince An was in a good mood and began to give advice from the side.
"This thing I developed for my teacher may not look too small, but if you have a college degree, do you know..."
"It implies the numbers of heaven and earth in the five directions of Tiangang, Earth, and Evil. Know yourself and your enemy, and be vertical and horizontal. Between the dimensions, there is a big world, great knowledge, and great mysteries. It is not for you to play stupidly, nor is it for you to try your luck like a silly roe deer. You have to study slowly and experience it..."
Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, who had been playing very relaxedly and comfortably at first, heard this and immediately said yes in awe.
When I looked at the mahjong table, my eyes were a little pious.
"Master is indeed a scholar. He is clearly taking the opportunity to enlighten us——"
Wu Zetian looked at the master who was standing with his hands behind his back and his expression was indifferent, and couldn't help but blinked.
Ah, is that so?
I don’t think so——
I was thinking in my heart, but my hands were not slow in my movements. I touched one and then pushed it forward suddenly.
"Hang Dongfeng alone, what a fool -"
Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai:...
This little junior sister is quite awesome!
Night is gradually falling, the lanterns in the yard are lit one after another, and the sound of crackling firecrackers is heard outside. New Year's Eve is finally here.
"Let's go, let's go, let's set off firecrackers -"
Wang Zi'an waved his hand, and Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Xi Junbu, who had been beaten by Wu Zetian for most of the afternoon, could not help but secretly wipe the sweat from their foreheads and were finally relieved.
I have decided that I will never play mahjong with this junior sister in the future.
This is not playing cards, this is torture.
This experience is really terrible——
The firecrackers Wang Zi'an mentioned are real firecrackers.
After finally traveling through the Tang Dynasty, wouldn’t it be a mistake to not experience the authentic Tang Dynasty New Year and engage in fireworks?
Even if it were to be done, it would have to be the next New Year.
The sound of firecrackers crackled. Looking at the sparkling fireworks in front of him and smelling the smell of firecrackers in the air, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.
It’s Chinese New Year!
One bundle of firecrackers had just been set off and when he was about to light the second bundle, Li Yifu, who had finally finished his work at the newspaper office and was preparing to publish the newspaper the next day, hurried over.
He had no relatives and no place to live in Chang'an. If he didn't want to spend the New Year alone in a newspaper office, of course he would come here and join his husband.
"Student Li Yifu, I have met Mr., and I would like to say hello to Mr.——"
Looking at this sinister apprentice with a simple and honest smile as always, Wang Zi'an smiled and nodded.
"It's a coincidence that you're here. I was just thinking about asking someone to bring you some dumplings..."
Li Yifu's face suddenly showed a touch of emotion at the right time.
"Student, thank you sir for your concern. Things over there have been taken care of, and the newspapers for tomorrow and tomorrow have been printed in advance. The students took it upon themselves to give the editors and craftsmen a day off and let them go home early tomorrow afternoon. Then return to the society and work..."
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but secretly pouted after hearing this.
This piece of shit will be considered a black-hearted capitalist in future generations.
It's already New Year's Eve, and you just gave someone a holiday, and it's only for one day, and you actually feel like you're doing me a favor. How dark is your heart...
Although they had just had dinner together at noon, Wang Zi'an still asked Miss Susu to personally invite Yun Xuzi and Qingxuanzi over to have the New Year's Eve dinner together.
In a group of people, those who are willing to drink can drink some wine, and those who are not willing to drink can drink some tea and chat for a while.
Li Yifu is a lively person with a sweet mouth, and he probably owes a lot to his appearance.
The iconic thick lips, the somewhat honest smile, and the toast, also belong to the senior brother. As soon as he got through, he quickly became mingled with several people.
But he himself drank a lot.
At this time, his face was red, his eyes were a little bright, and his whole person seemed a little excited. He put down the chopsticks in his hands and looked at Wang Zi'an with confusion.
"Sir, the student has something unclear and would like to ask for your advice——"
Wang Zi'an chewed the food in his mouth slowly and nodded with a smile.
Speaking of which, among the several apprentices he had accepted, this one was the most regrettable. After he was accepted, he was sent out to work without being taught anything.
That's just like using it as a coolie.
More than 996, simply 007.
This guy works in the Datang Evening News office around the clock. He is a conscientious and diligent person. He can be called a model in the industry and a pacesetter in work.
Not only did he make the Datang Evening News a success, he also had to organize people at every possible opportunity, and even did it himself, working hard to help him write the book.
"Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is about to reach its finale.
Li Yuan has founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, and the Tang Dynasty has entered the formal stage. If I write about it again, I have to write about the Xuanwu Gate changes. Although he has a tough head, he also knows that his head is really not strong. If he dares to write this, he will have to move if his head is not in trouble.
Therefore, "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", which has been serialized for more than two months, will have a grand finale tomorrow.
With wise kings and wise ministers, the people of the Tang Dynasty lived a happy new life from then on...
The newly-started "Journey to the West" also successfully wrote the drama of Sun Wukong being suppressed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. The writing style was straightforward and simple, which made him quite enjoyable to read.
The most important thing is that even so, he has no complaints and is even grateful. Where can I find such a good apprentice? So, if nothing else, let’s have a better attitude.
After all, we have to count on others to produce more horsepower next year.
"Students don't understand why sir suddenly wants to make this printing technology public?"
Li Yifu really doesn't understand.
With this printing technology in hand, Datang Evening News can not only easily defeat Shilin News, but also easily crush all the popular book publishers. The latter alone is enough to bring the newspaper publisher a huge and enviable return. .
As soon as Li Yifu said these words, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai couldn't help but stop the chopsticks in their hands and looked over with doubts.
After all, for this confidential job, they worked hard to defend outside the Datang News Agency for most of the winter.
This means withdrawing the troops, which is almost equivalent to making all their previous hard work go to waste. It is unrealistic to say that they are not worried at all.
However, with the emperor's orders on one side and their master on the other, they didn't dare to complain even if they couldn't figure it out.
Others, including Master and Disciple Yun Xuzi, were also loyal fans of Datang Evening News. When the editor-in-chief Li Yifu asked about this topic, they couldn't help but pricked up their ears curiously.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zi'an glanced at Li Yifu and motioned for him to sit down and talk. After Li Yifu sat back obediently and acted as if he was all ears, Wang Zi'an glanced at everyone and coughed lightly.
"Why do you think our Datang Evening News kept the printing technology secret in the first place?"
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Wang Zi'an said slowly.
"Of course, it is to occupy the market first. This human heart is actually very interesting. No matter what it is, everyone likes to be the first to have the first impression. At the beginning, we blocked the printing technology, just to create a blank period in the market and occupy the market first. Now you see, this big Who are our opponents among the several new newspapers in the Tang Dynasty, including the Shilin News, which has many great scholars?"
Li Yifu's thick lips wriggled, and finally he spoke.
"Isn't it because our newspapers are of high quality and Mr. Serial is popular among the people of Chang'an?"
Wang Zi'an glanced at him with admiration.
Otherwise, if you want to accept a disciple, you have to accept a few such treacherous ministers. How nice to say it.
When asking questions, never forget to praise yourself in a roundabout way.
"What you said is true and false -"
Wang Zi'an waved his hand modestly.
"My ones are just the icing on the cake. There are actually two main reasons. One is that the market was blank at that time and we had no competitors for a period of time. The other is that our newspaper section is down-to-earth and captures the readers' attention. Like——"
"Sir, you are being humble. In fact, your talents should be the most important thing..."
Li Yifu retorted unconvinced.
It actually received unanimous approval from Ma Zhou, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai, Wu Zetian, and even Miss Liu and Miss Su Su.
Wang Zi’an:……
Ah, this——
I obviously wanted to keep a low profile.
I can't laugh, I must maintain my superior demeanor and dignity as a teacher.
Wang Zi'an coughed dryly, waved his hand gently, and continued to point out this hard-working and good tool - ahem, good student.
"Today, our Datang Evening News has firmly occupied the public opinion position of Datang and has become the most trusted and favorite newspaper of the people of Tang Dynasty. So what else can't be disclosed about printing technology?"
Ma Zhou pondered for a moment and couldn't help but speak.
"Students feel that this printing technology can not only help Datang Evening News gain an advantage, but can also print books, greatly reducing costs. If it is not made public, it is definitely a tool for making money. What students can't understand is that nowadays Our Tang Dynasty treasury is empty and it is time to use money. Why would Sir and Your Majesty suddenly give up this precious technology and let it run wild..."
Wang Zi'an glanced at Ma Zhou with some emotion. This man was indeed a talent that Li Shimin valued. Although he had not yet entered politics, he already had a condescending perspective.
When Li Yifu heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head.
Although it was a holiday for the craftsmen, it was also the instruction of Wang Zi'an and Li Shimin, and he couldn't understand it.
My husband is as rich as the country, so it’s okay if he doesn’t take this little money into consideration. His Majesty is so poor that he almost loses his pants, why are you willing to give up such a good opportunity to make money?
