Prince Consort Xun said, "Save a room for Dad and rearrange it. Dad will come here to drink tea and read a book if he has nothing to do."
I am alone in the study room of the mansion, and I am also alone in the private room of the study room.
But the former is lonely, surrounded by silence and he is the only one. The latter was alone, surrounded by all kinds of things, and he was the only one... the feeling was completely different.
Xunxiang nodded in agreement. Xun Consort likes that his room must not only be decorated according to his aesthetics, but others cannot enter at will without his permission.
Xun Yibo smiled and said, "Sister, you are so good. There are still books like this, and the newly printed poetry books are also unique. Different thinking on the same thing will lead to different results. Everything has many sides, so we must brainstorm and be good at exploring. ..."
Xunxiang laughed.
The two father and son's thoughts are not on the same channel. Even if the father-in-law is not a consort-in-law, the most suitable profession for him is still that of a great scholar. And this brother is good at leading a team and tapping the potential of others, so he is suitable to be a leader.
Xun Yibo added, "Liren was so proud that when he saw an acquaintance, he said it was driven by his sister. He simply treated me as a decoration. I am my sister's brother, okay?"
It was rare for the young boy to be so childish, so Xunxiang squeezed his hand to express comfort.
This was Ding Lilai's absence. If he had been here, he would have started an argument with Ding Liren immediately instead of complaining afterwards.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Dongyang stood at the door with a smile like a flower to greet him.
"Congratulations to Princess Xiangxiang, congratulations to Princess Xiangxiang. The study you have opened is unique, and I am very proud of it."
After Dongyang ate the food that Xun Xiang had sent to him, he felt that it was more delicious than the food in the imperial kitchen. I also asked people to go to Yuqingyuan to order something different. They had snacks and matcha for lunch.
The covers of several new books were different and she liked them, so she spent most of the day playing with them.
The Prince Consort said it was culture, but it really was culture.
In the afternoon, the servant of Kunning Palace came to the Dongyang Princess Mansion again and asked to bring some different snacks to the palace tomorrow. The emperor and queen liked it.
Princess Dongyang was so proud that she wanted to send some snacks and matcha to Princess Xiyang's mansion.
Aunt Chai advised, "What if they come again after eating delicious food? What if other princesses, princesses, and princesses hear about it and send people to come too?"
"Before leaving, the princess made a special statement that if you want to eat, you must go to the study to eat. It is filial piety to send it to the emperor and the queen."
Dongyang thought about it, it would be difficult to deal with it once it started, so he gave up the idea.
Dongyang's words made Xunxiang unable to react. This was not in line with her personality. Isn't she being sarcastic?
Prince Consort Xun was also confused as to which part of Dongyang's song he was singing.
Only Xun Yibo reacted quickly. He was busy working and said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations to my parents, congratulations to my sister, and congratulations to me too. Haha..."
The servants all laughed.
Eunuch Li joked, "Oh my, your highness the princess is enjoying herself all day. She said that the princess is promising and is the first among the young ladies in the clan."
Only then did Xunxiang realize that Dongyang was really congratulating her, rather than ridiculing her.
Dongyang was happy and rewarded Xunxiang with a set of red gold jewelry.
In ancient times, information was not developed, but the people's gossip ability was super strong. In just one day, the "Sipin Study", where you can enjoy books, tea and life, spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
The next day, more people wanted to see the fourth-grade study. Those who come first get a seat first, and when all the seats on the first, second and outdoor floors are occupied, they pay a high price to go to the private rooms on the third floor.
Private rooms are expensive, and most people only stay for an hour or two, and not many people stay in there all day.
Those who came later had to wait outside, and many stools were humanely prepared in the study. Ding Liren, Xun Yibo and others who wanted to stay all day saw too many people and had to leave after staying for an hour.
More people don't have money to spend on the food in the study, so they only come in to buy a book, take a look and smell it, and then leave.
Gao Shanzhu and Shen Ying met in the study, and the private room on the third floor was full.
Jiang Xi and Shopkeeper Tang came over to coordinate. When the young masters heard that it was Princess Mingshan and County Princess Yingying, they voluntarily gave way.
Shopkeeper Tang promised to give it to them in two hours
Reserve a private room and get 20% off today's purchase.
Gao Shanzhu and Shen Ying ordered a table of food and drink, which was so delicious that they almost swallowed it with their tongues.
After playing for two hours and buying several books, the two little girls spent a total of nearly two hundred taels of silver.
Shen Ying smiled and said, "Let's read a book every few days. After all, having a patron card can save a lot of money."
Gao Shanzhu was not as confident as Shen Ying, so he was still happy after hearing this. He smiled and said, "I often come to the study to read, and my grandfather, grandmother, and father must be very happy.
"It's strange. I used to get sleepy when I read a book, but today I didn't feel sleepy after reading here for two hours... Oops, the matcha milkshake and rose jelly are so delicious."
She liked these two best.
Shen Ying smiled and said, "I like strawberry jam ice cream. It tastes better in summer. I really want to eat it every day, but unfortunately my mother and father won't allow it."
Gao Shanzhu thought the same way. He pouted and said, "Xiangxiang is really good, why can't we pack it up? That way we can have people come to buy it every day."
In addition to them, many noble ladies came together. They all go to private rooms. If they are not available at the moment, they go to a nearby teahouse to wait, and then come back if they are available.
In just two days, the book exclusively launched by the study was almost sold out, and the printing workshop has been working overtime to print.
On February 20th, Xun Xiang, Xun Consort, and Xun Yibo went to the study again.
Prince Consort Xun went directly to the third floor, while Xun Yibo stayed on the first floor to greet the princes.
Ding Chi and Ding Zhao have already arrived and are sitting in the backyard.
Xunxiang went over and asked, "How did my eldest brother do in the exam?"
Ding Lichun took the exam yesterday
The last one.
Ding Zhao smiled and said, "He thinks it's good, and your eldest cousin also thinks it's good. You should be able to pass the county exam." The volume was lowered, "He still wants to come to the study. I said I have something to do today and asked him to come back tomorrow."
Xunxiang doesn't want Ding Lichun to come today.
She whispered to Ding Chi, "Prince Duan, Prince Qi, Prince Kang, Prince Ji, and the Seventh Prince are coming soon. My second uncle will help me see if any of them are extremely prosperous."
When Ding Chi heard that he wanted to see so many princes, his calf muscles began to tighten again. He trembled his lips and said, "Xiangxiang, second uncle will be put in jail if he stares at the princes, right?"
Ding Chi has been traveling around for many years, and he often encounters ruffians who are desperate for his life. He is not afraid of those people, but he is afraid of high officials, and even more afraid of the royal family - except for Xiangxiang.
Xun Xiang said, "Don't be afraid. I found a good place for my second uncle. You can see them, but they can't see you. If we know who the prince is, let's build a good relationship first. Maybe my second uncle will be like my father in the future. Not only can I be an imperial merchant, but I can also become an official."
If it were somewhere else and so many princes were coming, there would definitely be guards checking in first. But this is the territory of Princess Xiangxiang. General Jiang has people checking it every day. There are people patrolling outside and inside, so there is no need for others to check.
Because the study is small, no matter how big the official is, he is not allowed to bring more than three servants in. Most of the guards and servants are waiting outside the study.
