After the hangover, Lu Xiuyuan woke up the next day and was alive and kicking like a normal person, but his brother couldn't do it anymore, he was getting older, and he would wake up with a headache the next day after drinking too much.

The two drank another bowl of hangover tea, and Lu Xiuyuan pressed the acupuncture points for the other party, and the other party's complexion recovered a bit.

I don't know if Senior Brother Wu drank some tea yesterday, and I don't know if I remember what I said last night, but since the other party didn't mention it anymore, he pretended not to say it, and the two tacitly ate breakfast together and went to work .

Originally, Lu Xiuyuan didn't plan to go to work so early. He still had three days of vacation, but his senior brother was short of manpower to compile books, so he was directly dragged to register and take up the post to help.

"You actually asked me to help. Could it be that there is no one among the auspicious scholars who is in line with your brother's wishes this year?"

In addition to the top three in the palace examination, who were awarded editors and editors, the other two and three tops went through an assessment, and then selected young, promising and outstanding people from among them to enter the Hanlin as Shujishi.

Senior Brother Wu shook his head when he heard this: "I still have to get along with them, how can you follow them so easily?"

"It's a pity that I chose to go abroad to become a county magistrate to accumulate experience, otherwise I would have two more days of rest." Lu Xiuyuan sighed.

He still felt that it was a pity that Shen was released from outside. It was not easy to come back after this release, and it was even more impossible to enter the Imperial Academy.

You must know that non-jinshi do not enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet.

In the future, if he wants to go up and become the chief assistant, then Hanlin must stay for a while.

During the chat, they had already arrived at the Hanlin Academy. Brother Wu first took him to register his name information, indicating that he had officially started working.

Then he took Lu Xiuyuan to his room to help sort out the materials while everyone looked at him curiously.

The job of Hanlin is to help the emperor draft imperial edicts, where he lectures on scriptures and knowledge, and usually sorts out and compiles history books and revises literary works.

His senior brother's job now is to bind up all the volumes of the poems of the four seasons from easy to difficult, which the old emperor prepared for his youngest emperor.

This job looks not difficult, but it is extremely trivial, and it is very troublesome to copy by hand.

Lu Xiuyuan's task is to find all the poems and arrange them in order, and then Senior Brother Wu will copy them into the book.

Seeing his senior brother writing non-stop, he couldn't bear it.

"Brother, don't worry, when I go back, I will put calligraphy practice on the agenda, and I will help you share the heavy responsibility as soon as possible."

The font of the copied script was stipulated to be Xiaoli. At that time, he had only practiced the style of the pavilion for the imperial examination, and the rest were only in shape, so he couldn't help him for the time being.

After sorting out part of the order, Lu Xiuyuan took the teapot to the outside yard to fetch water while his senior brother was copying the meeting, and then met No.3 of the same period.

It seems to be called Zheng Yanjie, right?

I remember that they were all on horseback at that time, and the little girls said that Tanhua was not as good-looking as the number one scholar. After arriving at the club, his face was always stinky, although his face is not good now.

He nodded politely to say hello, but the other party snorted coldly, and turned his head to the other side very shamelessly.

The other party didn't even bother to pretend to be peaceful on the surface, and he had nothing to say to this kind of person. After pouring the water, he was ready to leave.

Who would have thought that Zheng Yanjie whispered behind his back: "I reported it a month late, and I worked behind the head of the hospital on the day I arrived. The relationship is so strong. I don't know if this number one scholar is worthy of the name."

It turned out to be sour, Lu Xiuyuan smiled and replied bluntly.

"This is the ranking determined by His Majesty himself, why? Are you envious? Since you think that I am not worthy of the title, then go and tell Your Majesty, don't delay, go now, if not, I can call a carriage for you .”

"You!" The other party saw that Lu Xiuyuan spoke in a soft voice several times, but he didn't expect to speak so harshly and straightforwardly now, so he was stunned.

After finishing off, Lu Xiuyuan continued to leave the yard with the teapot in his hand.

He is relatively kind, but he has to divide people. People say that he is the number one scholar who is worthwhile, so is there any need to communicate with the other party in a friendly manner?

Back in the room, he opened the cup and poured two glasses of water on the table.

"Brother, the tea is getting cold, come and drink it when you're thirsty."

Fang Zheng was copying the book with a concentrated expression, as if he didn't hear it.

Afraid of disturbing the other party, Lu Xiuyuan didn't speak any more, and wrote down the names of the poems to be sorted out on the paper in order, and he began to look for books beside him.

Skipping many famous ancient books, he found a thick historical record in the bookshelf.

Let him take a look at the stories of the various dynasties and generations who emptied the Qing Dynasty.

Although he has the idea of ​​changing jobs now, when he is not sure whether King Ming is a suitable candidate, it is best to hold back for the time being.

Turning to the first page of the history book, he began to read it intently.

Lu Xiuyuan saw that his eyes were sore at noon, so he put down the book and looked into the distance to relax.

After doing eye exercises, I turned around and found that my brother was still copying over there, so I hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, stop writing, we should go home for lunch."

"I won't go home for lunch today, junior brother can go back by himself."

The Hanlin Academy had an hour and a half for lunch at noon, which left enough time for the officials to go home for dinner.

But it doesn't matter if you really don't want to go home, there is also a special canteen inside, and you can eat two steamed buns, two vegetarian dishes and a bowl of soup for only ten Wen.

Judging by his brother's appearance, it is obvious that he ate in the cafeteria here at noon today.

"Then I won't go back either." Lu Xiuyuan took back his steps, returned to the table and poured two cups of tea.

"Brother, don't write, drink some tea and take a rest, and then write after dinner."

After hearing this, the other party finally put down the pen in his hand, took a cup of tea next to him, blew on it, and took a sip.

"When you eat here, you must bring your own tableware. The cook will find you a pair of tableware and chopsticks for you to use first."

Hearing what his senior brother said, Lu Xiuyuan changed his mind again.

"Forget it, brother, I'd better go home and eat, and I'll accompany you with the tableware in the afternoon."

He didn't really want to use the shared bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen, so he could only postpone this lunch.

Senior Brother Wu saw that he was going back to eat, so he pointed to the table next to him: "Just tidy up for a while, and remember the names of the things I'm going to copy this afternoon, so you don't have to come over this afternoon."

It seems to be okay, anyway, he's fine staying here, so it's better to catch the fish while he can catch the fish, and he won't be able to do this in two days.

While arranging the collection of poems, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly realized: "This job is not difficult, it's just a little trivial. Why is it that you, the senior brother, are doing it? What about the servants and lecturers below? There are also some old people. Custard?"

Senior Brother Wu's face flashed with embarrassment: "Because the work is trivial, no one is pushing and pushing, and the sages below are afraid that he will make mistakes, so I have to come."

The bachelor's degree of the attendant is only one level lower than his own, and the other party thinks it is troublesome to push each other, and the manuscript is about to be handed in this day, and he hasn't sorted it out at all. In the end, if he is to blame, he, the head of the school, will be the one who is too difficult.

Looking at his senior brother's expression, Lu Xiuyuan also probably understood the cause of the incident, which is to bully the good old man because of his similar official position.

He sighed inwardly, saying that the first-rank official had crushed 7 people to death, but seeing his senior brother like this, he let others take advantage of it.

It's just some low-level tricks, but his senior brother just can't bear it. If it were him, he would assign someone casually, and if the other party didn't do it, he would go directly to the old emperor himself, saying that the person had objections to the task, and put the responsibility on the other party. With a push on the body, he is clean.

It seems that I have to pay more attention to work in the future.

After sorting out the poems to be copied in the afternoon, Lu Xiuyuan went home without staying any longer.

When he got home, Yun Chen was not there. He asked the servants and found out that Yan Ruyu had gone to the West Market.

The east market of Chang'an is close to the imperial palace, quiet and mostly residents, while the west market is full of troubles, and the stalls inside are all the most distinctive specialties of the capital.

Their Yan Ruyu shop is on the westernmost side of the busy city, that is, the farthest alley to enter. Although it is not as good as other shops in the West City, it is not bad compared to the ones on the city road outside.

When he entered, there were only a few people in the bookstore watching and buying books. After all, the newly opened store had not yet started to advertise, so how could anyone come to see it.

Passed through the front counter and came to the back room, and sure enough, I saw that the other party was holding a brush as if he was memorizing something.

"Achen."

He called out tentatively.

The other party glanced at him with a brush in his hand: "Speak quickly if you have something to do, don't think about my thoughts."

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan stopped talking, and stood beside Shi Yunchen to read what the other party had just written.

It's all about how the store promotes and the planning of advertising.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then pointed to the part about asking the little beggar to promote it.

"We don't allow beggars to enter the West Market. The propaganda here needs to be changed."

"Hey, what should we do?" The other party forgot that the capital is strictly controlled, especially Dongxi City, while other places are fine.

"The store is in the West Market, so why not go to the official road next door to find someone to promote it?"

"No, no, no." Lu Xiuyuan held his chin for a while and said, "We can invite actors."

"Actor?" The young master's expression flashed with a hint of bewilderment. "What do you mean by actor?"

Cough cough cough, he cleared his throat: "Although there is no way to find beggars to publicize, we can find actors to perform."

He began to give examples to the other party: "For example, on this long street in Xishi, ten actors are arranged according to the average position, and they come to discuss in pairs. Our story is a fairy tale, super beautiful! You must blow it more! You can blow it !"

"Then let other people listen to it and come and buy it out of curiosity?"

"Yes! In addition to this, we also need to hire more people to dress up in different ways to line up to buy scripts, and make it look like the supply is in short supply for those people to read."

"But we don't have a lot of stories, right? After buying these actors, there is not much left, and they can't make much money?" The other party was puzzled.

"Actors can take a detour to return the book after buying it through the back door, so as not to delay our sale."

Hearing this, Shi Yunchen's eyes lit up: "If people are really attracted, all the books will be sold out in less than a day! At that time, we will have to print more."

"Wait a minute, we can't sell out all of them in one go and saturate the market."

Lu Xiuyuan explained the principle of hunger marketing to the other party. He only sells a fixed book every day. After the end, regardless of whether there are any books behind, he will always say that they are sold out. The new one will arrive tomorrow, and then continue to line up the next day...

As he continued to explain, Shi Yunchen's eyes became brighter and brighter, this method is good!Even his elder brother may not be able to figure it out.

"Erlang! It's a pity that you don't want to be a businessman!"
