After giving orders to Jingren, An Miaoyi asked the maid to take her health tea, and while drinking tea and eating cakes, she read today's Yijing Daily... ····
Yijing Daily is a newspaper that has just been published for three months. Although the opening date is very short, Yijing Daily has a very strong background. It is affiliated to Hongyun Newspaper Company, a subsidiary of Dadongsheng Company.
Precisely because of the strong backing of Dadongsheng Trading Company, Yijing Daily has strong financial resources. Each newspaper sells for only three cents after the cost, which is about half of the price of most newspapers on the Yijing market.
Because of adopting such a low-price competition strategy, Yijing Daily has developed very quickly. In just three months, its sales volume has ranked among the top three in Yijing newspaper sales!
According to incomplete statistics, at least thousands of copies of Yijing Daily are currently sold every day, and among every ten newspapers sold in Yijing every day, one belongs to Yijing Daily, and the current sales of Yijing Daily are still at With rapid growth, more newspapers are being sold every day!
Therefore, some people believe that if Yijing Daily can maintain its current development speed, then when Yijing Daily is released for one year, their market share is likely to exceed 30%, becoming the second largest market in Yijing market. The second largest newspaper in Yijing Morning News!
Although many people are amazed at the development speed of Yijing Daily, most people do not understand why Dadongsheng Company established Hongyuan Newspaper and opened Yijing Daily... ···········
In order to promote the development of science and technology in Dazhou, Ye Mingsheng also hopes to open up people's wisdom, popularize culture and reduce illiteracy in Dazhou!
In order to achieve this goal, despite financial constraints, Ye Mingsheng still gritted his teeth and asked the finance department to spend money to allow school-age children in Liaoyang, Youyan, Qilu, and Henan to receive free education.
In addition, Ye Mingsheng founded a newspaper, hoping to arouse people's interest in learning culture and form a good trend among the people!
Therefore, under Ye Mingsheng's series of encouragement policies, newspapers all over the country sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. In order to arouse people's interest in buying newspapers and make money, these newspapers also started serializing them one after another. For a time, the cultural industry of the Great Zhou Dynasty It is also booming!
People will naturally have some curiosity about new things, so at the beginning of the newspaper, An Miaoyi ordered a monthly magazine for Ye Mansion.
Although An Miaoyi's original intention at first was just to support Ye Mingsheng's policies, she was soon attracted by the news in the newspaper.
An Miaoyi's favorite book is called "The Shirt Full of Tears", which is serialized in Qianzhen magazine. It mainly tells the story of a scholar and a wealthy daughter who fall in love but cannot get it, because this story is quite sad, and in addition The serialization and update speed is relatively slow, only 2,000 words are written every seven days, and the writing style is obscure and difficult to understand, so the response is not good...
The purpose of newspapers to create magazines is to make money, so this book was cut off halfway through writing. When seeing what she liked was cut off, An Miaoyi was also very sorry, and then she wanted to publish it herself. Yinzi asked the author to continue writing.
After Ye Baode, the general manager of Dadongsheng Company, learned of the news by chance, in order to please the future "Queen", he went along with her and opened the Yijing Daily. The book "Tears Full of Shirt" was published in the Yijing Morning News. serialized.
And after learning that An Miaoyi likes to read such sad stories, Ye Baode specially found a few down-and-out scholars to write them in this way. In short, the big lady will definitely be happy!
Under Ye Baode's deliberate efforts to please, An Miaoyi also became a loyal reader of Yijing Daily. She would take time to read this newspaper that was created because of her every day.
And looking at the latest chapter of Tears for a Man, watching the heroine and the hero parting on a rainy night, An Miaoyi couldn't help but shook her head slightly. The reason why she liked Tears for a Shan was not that it was well written. , but this book just fits her longing as a girl.
After all, at that age when love begins, any girl will fantasize about a vigorous love, and then
Then live a happy life with the person you love!
However, nine out of ten people will not be satisfied in life. No matter how beautiful the visions and wishes are, they will become fragile and pale in the face of the cold and cruel reality... ·
An Miaoyi put down the newspaper and took a sip of her health and beauty tea. She wanted to take a nap, but at this moment Qiqige came over and said:
"Madam, Mr. Tian Yu is here!"
An Miaoyi was pleasantly surprised when she heard that her younger brother had come to see her.
Because of what happened to Ruolan a few years ago, Yasuda Yu felt ashamed to meet Ye Mingsheng, so even though Ye Mingsheng personally came out to comfort him, Yasuda Yu also deliberately did not come to Ye Mansion, even during the holidays. Send someone to deliver a letter to celebrate.
The last time the two siblings met, the An family and their entire family moved to Yi Jing two months ago, and the two siblings were reunited with their families.
Although she was a little curious about why her younger brother Yasuda Yu came to see her at this time, An Miaoyi said calmly:
"Take Tian Yu to the Zhengde Hall in the front yard!"
"yes!"
Although Yasuda Yu was his younger brother, in order to avoid some people gossiping behind his back, An Miaoyi also abided by the rules and did not let Yasuda Yu enter the backyard where the female family members of the Ye family lived.
After finishing the instructions, An Miaoyi also asked Qiqige to change her clothes and apply some powder to make herself look better.
These days are a special period for her and she is not feeling very well. In addition, knowing that Ye Mingsheng has been at Pei Zhixiu these days, An Miaoyi is also a little tired... ·············
After doing this, An Miaoyi was accompanied by several maids and women to the Zhengde Hall in the front yard of Ye Mansion. Looking at her brother's familiar face, An Miaoyi could not help but have a smile on her face and asked:
"Tian Yu, how are you doing lately?"
Facing her sister's inquiry, Yasuda Yu hesitated slightly, but still managed to squeeze out a smile and said:
"I'm doing pretty well lately. How are you doing, sister?"
Although Yasuda Yu deliberately concealed it, his hesitation could not escape An Miaoyi's gaze. Just after hearing Qiqige say that Yasuda Yu came to find her, An Miaoyi realized that her brother might come to see her for something. But now that she saw her brother's hesitation, An Miaoyi was undoubtedly more convinced of her thoughts.
Although she was a little concerned about what happened to her brother, An Miaoyi still smiled calmly and said:
"What can my sister do if she eats well and sleeps well in Ye Mansion? The only thing that worries me is that if Jingren, the evildoer, doesn't study hard, he always knows how to make me angry!"
Hearing what An Miaoyi said, Yasuda Yu also smiled and said with relief:
"It's not a big deal for children to be playful. Everyone knows that Jingren is a kid with a lot of talent. Just like King Chuzhuang, he became famous even without making a sound!"
"You may not be better when you are young. In my opinion, Jingren is like an object in a pond. He can transform into a dragon when the storm comes... "
Although her brother comforted herself with good words, as a mother, An Miaoyi was very happy when she heard these words and said with a smile:
"Tian Yu, but the child Xiren is what you said!"
"Sister, don't worry, the child you and your brother-in-law will have is absolutely infallible!"
After chatting with her sister An Miaoyi again, Yasuda Yu also changed her tone and said:
"Sister, I know that you are in need of everything in Ye Mansion, so I didn't bring anything for you when I came here this time. However, a few days ago I happened to get three pieces of Cheng Xuanqing's Xuanbao ink, which Jingren used when he was studying. It can be considered as my uncle’s thoughtfulness!”
After saying that, An Tianyu took out a beautifully packaged wooden box and handed it to Qiqige who was standing aside. An Miaoyi was a little surprised when she heard this. Cheng Xuanqing was the Huimo master decades ago, and he made it with his own hands. Xuanbao ink is even known as the finest in Hui ink, and was highly praised by many literati in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
exist
There is a good saying among the people that there is one ounce of gold and one ounce of ink. As Cheng Xuanqing passed away a few decades ago, the Xuanbao ink he made used one piece less. Therefore, Xuanbao ink has been rising in the market. Price but no market!
So now that he heard that his younger brother An Tianyu had given three pieces of Xuanbao ink to Jingren, An Miaoyi couldn't help but frowned slightly and said:
"Tian Yu, this Xuanbao ink is not cheap. These three pieces of Xuanbao ink must have cost you a lot of money. Jingren's current academic performance is not worthy of using such a good ink. The same goes for other inks... ······················》
Yasuda Yu said with some self-deprecation:
"Sister, although I, as an uncle, am a bit down and out and can't give Jingren other expensive gifts, I naturally have to pick the best ones from the few pieces of ink!"
Seeing An Tianyu say this, An Miaoyi didn't know what to say. As soon as her voice changed, she began to ask about the situation of her mother Yang. After Yang came to Yijing with the An family two months ago, she lived in The house of his son Yasuda Yu
An Miaoyi could not leave the house at will due to status restrictions, so she only stayed with the Yang family for a few days when the Yang family entered Yijing.
Facing her sister’s inquiry, Yasuda Yu also introduced with a smile:
"Everything is fine for my mother at my place. As for her old problems, the doctors from the medical school will come to check on her every seven days. My uncle and my fifth aunt also came to visit my mother before, and she was also very happy! "
An Miaoyi also smiled and raised her head slightly when she heard this. The uncle An Tianyu mentioned was Cui Shao, and his wife Yang and their mother Yang were sisters.
After asking some more questions about her mother's current situation, An Miaoyi also took out a banknote and handed it to Yasuda Yu and said:
"Tian Yu, you take this banknote back. Sister, I can't fulfill my filial piety in front of my mother. You go back and I will take good care of my mother in the future!"
Looking at the words "Qian Liang" on the bank note, Yasuda Yu looked a little ashamed, and at the same time he was hesitant to speak.
An Miaoyi, who was a little confused after seeing this, also asked directly:
"Tian Yu, what happened? If you have anything, just tell me sister..."
Under An Miaoyi's concerned gaze, Yasudayu's face turned a little blushing, and he hesitated and said to An Miaoyi:
"Sister, can you lend me three thousand taels of silver?"
An Miaoyi was even more surprised when these words came out. You must know that Ye Mingsheng is still very generous to his brother-in-law. When An Tianyu first came to Yijing, Ye Mingsheng gave him a very good three-story building in Yijing. The house was also given three shops along the street, as well as a certain amount of money and goods.
According to the current booming economic development in Yijing, even if Yasuda Yu does nothing and relies on the rent of those three shops every year, he will earn at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver every year. You must know that the purchasing power of silver in Dazhou is still very strong. , the annual salary of an official at the deputy chief envoy level is only this amount.
In addition to the rent of the shop, An Miaoyi has also provided a lot of support to her younger brother in recent years. During the New Year and holidays, she has earned at least a thousand taels of silver.
Although her younger brother, Yasuda Yu, has been sick since childhood and has no ability, he is better at being honest and law-abiding. In addition, he does not have any bad habits, so he does not spend much on weekdays.
Yasuda Yu also told An Miaoyi before that he had saved the money together without spending it randomly except for daily expenses. Now he has saved about five thousand taels of silver, so An Miaoyi can come to him at any time if he needs it. He said that he would send the money at any time...
For this reason, An Miaoyi also taught him that money is for spending, and asked An Tianyu to be kind to himself, and there was no need to dig and collect money!
Therefore, An Miaoyi was really curious about where her younger brother spent his money!
An Miaoyi looked at Yasuda Yu with a serious expression and asked:
"Tian Yu, tell your sister honestly, where did all your money go?"
Feeling her sister's serious gaze, Yasuda Yu hesitated and said:
"Some time ago, Uncle Shanhe
He came to me and said that although the Marshal had arranged a house and property for our An family, our An family had a large population and was very strapped for money when we first came to Yijing, so he wanted my sister and I to ask for money so that our An family could live a better life. ! "
"I thought that I shouldn't bother you, sister, with this matter. I am also from the An family, and I should contribute to the An family's affairs. Besides, sister, you don't need the money now, so I just used the more than five thousand I have on hand. I gave the two pieces of silver to Uncle Shanhe, hoping to make the family live a better life!"
"After giving all the more than 5,000 taels of silver to Uncle Shanhe, I only have more than 300 taels of silver left in my hand. Originally, this silver was enough for my mother and I, but I have encountered some things recently and need three thousand taels. I have two extra taels of silver for relief, so I have no choice but to come to your sister’s place..."
