After becoming the protagonist of abuse

This time the banquet was held in the courtyard, there were not many guests around, but there were quite a few people nearby.

Before approaching the courtyard, Luo Xi heard one or two complaints, "Girl, it's too messy here, how can I let you come and perform in person?"

"Shut up." The soft female voice said.

Luo Xi glanced casually, and two women walked towards him, one master and one servant.The woman deliberately painted plum blossom makeup, raised her chin slightly, and her expression was a little proud.

But looking at the clothes, they are not as exquisite and appropriate as the girls of the aristocratic family, and they are obviously not the people who came to the banquet.Contact the previous performance again, the identity is self-evident.

Ruiying stepped forward slowly, still holding Qin in her arms, she was a little surprised when she saw Luo Xi, and took the initiative to salute, "I didn't expect Mr. Luo to be here too."

The look in Luo Chang's eyes that looked at Luo Xi was instantly wrong, he simply took a step forward and stopped in front of Luo Xi.

Looking at this posture, it seemed that Rui Ying had some incurable disease, and was deeply afraid that Rui Ying would infect Luo Xi by getting close to him.

Luo Xi Nahan, "...I don't seem to know you."

Yang Yu next to him took a step forward and explained quietly in Luo Xi's ear, "This is the oiran recently promoted by Xingyue Pavilion. He is famous for his piano and chess skills. There are many guests in the show, and he will be listed in the near future."

Luo Chang's hearing is excellent, and he heard what Yang Yu said, and his eyes couldn't help but become sharper.

In the courtyard, the dancers were dancing, some people gathered together to chat and laugh, and some people noticed that Luo Xi was blocked at the entrance of the courtyard.

"I have heard of Mr. Luo's name many times. I always thought that Mr. Luo's family was noble and dignified. I wanted to meet him but I couldn't find him anywhere. Today I met Mr. Luo here." Ruiying's words seemed to reveal There was a little sarcasm.

While speaking, Rui Ying helped the hairpin on her bun, glanced around and lowered her eyes, her noble and elegant appearance was particularly eye-catching.

Is this trying to mock him for being in league with those dudes?

Luo Xi twitched her eyebrows and reminded, "Girl, be careful, I'm about the same age as you, so it's normal for us to meet occasionally."

Someone had already heard the movement in front of the door, and after hearing Ruiying's words, they just waited for the next sentence.

Quite a few people exchanged glances, and their original laughing words were lowered, only whispering occasionally.

Ruiying took her time, hugged the piano, and burst into a smile, "It's rare to see, Ruiying is bold, and wants to compete with you, Mr. Luo, to play the piano!"

The whole audience fell silent, and even the dancers who had been dancing had withdrawn at some point.

The eyes of many people looking at Rui Ying changed. Originally, they were a little sympathetic, but this woman was too courageous. A prostitute dared to ask the son of the Duke's mansion for piano skills Are you still discussing?

With such a disparity in status, if Luo Xi doesn't want to, Rui Ying doesn't even have the qualifications to come forward to meet her, so she should dodge it wisely.

Around the courtyard, someone joked.

"Brother Lu, do you want to discuss with Mr. Luo later?"

"Let's talk about it next time. I don't want to be compared with a whore."

The conversation between the two did not shy away from the people around them at all, and their attitudes had already been expressed in their words.

Ruiying's face turned red, but she still stood stubbornly, "Mr. Luo, do you dare to compete with me?"

Yang Yan was originally entertaining guests inside, but when he heard the movement outside, he happened to hear such a sentence when he came out.

Yang Yan's face turned cold, "Why dare you? It's just that there is a lack of someone. I randomly ordered you to come and perform. If you know your face, you should perform and leave."

"I...", Luo Xi was just about to speak.

Luo Chang laughed angrily, and pressed Luo Xi's shoulder, obviously not wanting him to speak, "Young Master Yang is a good tutor! I must ask for advice in the court someday!"

The servants around immediately stepped forward and stopped Ruiying who wanted to approach, with extremely fierce eyes.

Luo Chang's eyes were a little cold, "It's just a prostitute, it's her turn to lower the Luo family's taste!"

He doesn't care if the children of other families in the capital think that this kind of woman is proud of being jealous, but this kind of unclean thing dares to compete with Luo Xi, because he wants to say that Luo Xi is also on the same level as her?

Luo Xi still wanted to say something, "You..."

Yang Yan came out in time, grabbed Luo Xi, blocked what Luo Xi wanted to say, "I didn't have time to deal with this matter."

Yang Yan looked at Ruiying, his face darkened half, "Send it away! Send it directly to Jing Zhaoyin, and say that she has offended my son!"

It was rare that the luthier he was familiar with before had something to do, he sent someone with good piano skills, but in the end he sent such a person?

Ruiying raised her head in panic, looking around in a daze.

She grabbed the maidservant's hand, her face was a little panicked, and she wanted to say something.

Shouldn't these people praise her elegance and purity?Shouldn't one recognize her talent and praise her beauty, even if she's no worse than those ladies from aristocratic families?

Why didn't one of these people stand up and speak for her.

Her eyes were red, and just as she was about to speak, the people around Yang Yan gagged her and tied her hands and took her away.

Most of the people present are also clear-headed, just joking occasionally, but they will not really deliberately offend some people, especially Luo Xi is about to become an upstart in the capital, and it is too late to please others, so naturally no one will intentionally crash.

Luo Xi quietly said to Yang Yu who was beside him, "Catch up and send him to Luo's house, I'll be useful."

Yang Yu quietly asked Yang Yan's servant about something, then stepped back and reported in Luo Xi's ear.

"Young Master, Young Master Yang's servant told Nu that Miss Ruiying was not sent to Jingzhao Yin. He thought there might be some people who wanted to take pity on her and save her."

Luo Xi was surprised, "What does he want to do?"

"Mr. Yang said, let Miss Ruiying support herself."

Luo Xi rubbed his forehead, feeling that Yang Yan was messing up again, "So?"

Yang Yu said in a low voice, "Mr. Yang said, I handed it over to Ren Yazi, and now I will take it out of the capital and sell it to Zhuangzi to plant land. As for where he went, Mr. Yang didn't want to tell this slave, saying that Mr. Yang has a good temper and is easy Relentless."

Luo Xi: "..."

He felt that there was something wrong with the woman and wanted to interrogate her.

Luo Xi had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being, at least let the banquet in front of him go.

Luo Chang's expression was still not very good, and he walked in with Luo Xi after seeing Yang Yanzheng's apology.

"Long time no see, Luo Chang, I didn't expect you to go to the frontier for so many years." A man saw Luo Chang, quickly got up and came over to say hello, with a very happy smile.

Luo Chang's mood eased a little. Seeing that Luo Xi was talking to Yang Yan, he chatted with people he knew well and entered his circle.

Yang Yan saw that Luo Xi was not in a good mood, so he simply waved his hand, "Don't worry, with me here, I guarantee that the woman won't be able to jump around."

Luo Xi was a little helpless, but the thought just now was just a guess, there was no evidence to prove it, "Did you ask me for something?"

"Help you open the way!" Yang Yan pulled Luo Xi over, took him to a seat in a remote place, and said, "This is the eldest son of Princess Changping, this is the son of Prince Li, and this is Liu Shang Shu's eldest son..."

These people all have one characteristic, they have money and power at home, and they have nothing to do when they are idle.

It is rare for Yang Yan to gather so many people together. There are clans with real power and many officials, plus a group of children from aristocratic families recruited by Luo Xi, what business can't be done?

Princess Changping's eldest son, Guan Ming, leaned back, "Let's say it first, I won't interfere in small business, you have to show some real skills."

These people are also the pride of heaven, if they didn't play well with Yang Yan and Luo Xi's previous reputation, they might not be willing to participate.

"I don't want to make too much of a joke, everyone, have you ever heard of the script?" Luo Xi sat in the middle of the crowd, throwing out topics at will.

"I've read a lot, but now there are fewer and fewer excellent scripts." Liu Guan lost interest, "A lot of script writers just write casually, and they like to write about girls from aristocratic families eloping with poor boys. It's a joke, aristocratic family Can the girl leave us alone and look at a poor boy who has nothing?"

"Don't say that, it's still pretty good."

"Then what do you guys think of the residence report?" Luo Xi asked again.

"Except for my father, basically no one watched it." Someone said honestly.

Above are the emperor's edicts, imperial edicts, and some important official documents of the court, but most of them have not served in official positions, so these have little to do with them, and it is enough to know some important court affairs occasionally.

"This kind of thing, I call it a newspaper. It's a combination of the two, but it's a little different." Luo Xi waved his hand, and Yang Yu automatically brought up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Yang Yan studied the ink, letting Luo Xi get started quickly.

Luo Xi outlined the outline in twos and threes, "Different from the Dibao, it not only broadcasts the major events in the court, but it doesn't have to be too ostentatious, it also needs to include some folklore content, as well as some articles by great Confucians. , it’s easy to understand, everyone can understand it..."

In other words, the biggest difference between them and Dibao lies in their different positioning.Dibao is aimed at officials, and they are aimed at the general public, so there is a big difference in content.

Luo Xi has already divided the pages of the newspaper, and this time I will break it down for everyone at once. In order to ensure that everyone can understand, I also told a few suitable jokes and stories by the way, to show that they are placed in the newspaper. What content is inside.

All the people present were not fools, and their eyes lit up immediately after hearing Luo Xi's words, not only because of the foreseeable business opportunities, but also because of the invisible benefits of this newspaper.

Think about it, this newspaper is spread all over the world, and their names will also be spread everywhere. In the future, those literati can write on it, but they will not be able to accept their favor.Not to mention good friends, at least the impression will definitely not be bad.

After listening to Luo Xi's words, Yang Yan fell into deep thought, "Printing is easy to say, woodblock printing or movable type printing, one of them is more suitable, but manpower is the key point."

"And the price, how do you set the price?"

The reason why many rural children are unable to study is more because the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are consumed too quickly and the price is too high, especially the papermaking is cumbersome, and the price of paper is not much lower.

I am afraid that many people do not have spare money to buy a newspaper.

All the people present began to chatter and discuss.

"Isn't it enough to set the price a little higher? It is mainly sold to merchants or officials."

"All readers must read our newspaper."

"This newspaper must become our only thing, and it cannot be copied by others. Whoever dares to be the next one should be impeached."

"Manuscripts always need people to review them, right? My family can send people out, which takes up three places."

"It's just you, right? Which one of our families has no one?"

There was a slight smile on the corner of Luo Xi's mouth. With so many people participating, the emperor would be tempted by the newspaper in the future. If he wanted to grab it, he had to consider the feelings of so many families and had to give in.

The surrounding area was immediately emptied, and these people found a separate small room, and each negotiated the payment and the division of interests. Hurry up and discuss the important content quickly, fearing that the best opportunity will be missed.

Luo Chang and many friends came to Luo Xi after meeting and chatting one by one, Luo Xi could only ask Yang Yu to bring him a message and wait for him, or Luo Chang went back first, he still had urgent matters.

Luo Chang frowned slightly, glanced at the people discussing fiercely, and his heart tightened.

The rest of the people may only see the benefits brought by the "newspaper", but Luo Chang found that Luo Xi has never let go of the control of the newspaper. Someone may have raised it, but Luo Xi suppressed it.

The distribution of profits does not divide power, and the important content is in Luo Xi's hands. Luo Chang sighed and had to admire his younger brother's mind.
