Kangxi looked at the Imperial Study Room. The windows carefully pasted out with Mingwa and Goryeo paper were bright and delicate, and they were suddenly replaced with colored glaze... Whether it is worth it or not, the style is not very good.
He is a person with aesthetic pursuits, so he is not very happy.
Kangxi is not happy, Yinzuo is happy!
Pointing to Kangxi, I don’t know when it will be changed, so hurry up if you can seize the opportunity. The glass window has not been used for many years, and Yinzuo misses it very much.
He immediately stepped forward: "My son is willing to try for Khan Ama."
Kangxi: "..."
As long as you don't be so excited, I can believe that you really want to relieve your worries.
Kangxi finally agreed to change the glazed window for Yinzuo first, and Yinzuo walked out of Qianqing Palace very happily, and said to Lin Ruhai who was with him: "This glazed window must be easy to use, Master Lin also left some glazed windows for himself to replace."
Lin Ruhai said: "The status of a lowly official is low, so I don't need such a good thing."
This Yinzuo disagreed: "You have contributed a lot to this matter, why can't you use the things you made yourself? Besides, you are the minister of Khan Ama, so don't say anything about being humble. gone."
Lin Ruhai said calmly: "Lord Belle praised you, if the colored glazes are really so useful, then they should all be given to the palace."
"How many windows are there in the palace, and how much glass can be used? The output is not too much now, but if glass is good for windows, Khan Ama will definitely build a few more glass factories, so you don't have to be too careful."
Use it as it should, and put it on for Sister Lin, lest she hurt her eyes when she draws.
Lin Ruhai: "Yes."
Yinzuo took a look at Lin Ruhai, feeling that he was different today.It looks respectful, but it's just...too respectful, isn't it?
Lin Ruhai was not like this before, even though he stopped her from seeing Daiyu at the beginning, they still made sense and got along quite happily.
Yinzuo asked: "What's on your mind, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Ruhai still said calmly: "Nothing, please worry about it."
Yin Zuo frowned: "Master Lin!"
He frowns at Lin Ruhai with the power of the prince Baylor. Lin Ruhai is silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I have heard some rumors that you and Ms. Sloanton..."
Yinzuo: "..."
Yinzuo looked at Lin Ruhai speechlessly.
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.He knew that Yinzuo, as the prince, could have side Fujin besides Di Fujin, and Shu Fujin wanted as much as he wanted.
So what if you act ambiguously and intimately with a woman?If he likes it, it doesn't matter if he takes it to the palace!Even if his daughter is the future Liu Fujin, he has no position to be angry - even Liu Fujin himself has no position, let alone he is only Yuezhang.
It's just that Lin Ruhai loves his daughter dearly and can't help but get angry.He also thought about Yinzuo's friendship with Daiyu before he said it, but he didn't expect Yinzuo to react like this.
Lin Ruhai sighed: "The humble minister collides..."
Yinzuo: "Why do you even believe such words?"
Lin Ruhai: "...?"
Yinzuo came up with his most powerful argument: "Ms. Sloanton is ten years older than me, how could we?"
Lin Ruhai: ... It is really impossible for ordinary people, but this person is Yin Zuo, he has always done whatever he wants, and Lin Ruhai doesn't think it strange to do anything.
But he also understood Yin Zuo's meaning: "You didn't mean that?"
"Of course not!" Yin Zuo was a little helpless, what kind of image he is in everyone's mind, "I regard Ms. Sloanton as a good teacher and helpful friend, and there is no distinction between men and women."
He sighed: "I only found out about this rumor today. I only thought it was bad, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. At least I found a way to make it clear."
Lin Ruhai nodded again and again, but said embarrassedly: "My humble minister is stupid, please forgive me, Lord Belle."
Yin Zuo waved his hand: "Master Lin is just a fatherly heart. Is it strange to say anything. But...Miss Lin is not angry, is she?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head: "I didn't dare to let Yu'er know about it, so I kept it a secret."
Only then did Yin Zuo heaved a sigh of relief: "Let's keep it a secret for now. I'll just deal with this matter in the past few days."
Lin Ruhai naturally believed in Yinzuo, cupped his hands and said, "Just speak up if it's useful."
Yinzuo agreed.
After returning, Yin Zuo thought about how to refute the rumors. In fact, with his status, even if there were rumors, it would have no effect.He didn't care about many people, so a private explanation would be enough.It's just that rumors are raging, if Daiyu is wronged by that villain who loves to tell tales, or who sees people as inferior because of this, it will not be good.
Yin Zuo thought for a while, but still felt that the noise was bigger, and it was only by suppressing the rumors at once.
With an idea in his mind, Yin Zuo started to do other things, and when the Mao Fashion Study Room was over, he wandered to the third elder brother: "Third elder brother, how is your newspaper recently?"
"Shang Ke." The third elder brother shook his folding fan lightly, and smiled reservedly.
In fact, it is far more than passable, it should be said to be very good.Nalan Xingde’s collection of poems and travel notes became very popular after they were published. The people were eager to know everything related to navigation and the West. Because of the establishment of a separate Western section in the "Beijing Daily", it became more and more popular because of the establishment of a separate Western section. Now the daily printing volume is more than before. Twice as much as that, this is still in short supply.
Because of the popularity, the price of advertisements has also soared, so that the third elder brother doesn't feel anything when looking at the numbers on the ledger, as if it is just a number.
After hearing this situation, Yinzuo silently swallowed the original words, and then said: "I see that the people still have a great demand for newspapers, do you want to consider doing more?"
Third Elder Brother: "...?"
"No need, I have limited energy, so I can't manage so much." The third elder brother frantically refused.
"This is your fault. What you are doing now can be entrusted to others, and you can take care of it yourself." Yin Zuo patted the third elder brother's shoulder meaningfully, "There is a saying that is very good..."
Third Elder Brother: "What?"
Yinzuo said loudly: "If you don't know how to lead a team, you can only work until you die!"
Third Elder Brother: "..."
The third elder brother moved his shoulders uncomfortably, and said hesitantly: "But I never thought about starting a new newspaper, and I don't know what to do."
"A lot can be done," Yinzuo thought for a while and said, "For example, do character interviews... that is, interview a certain person, introduce his deeds, thoughts, etc., this person can be a court official, or a merchant, or It is a great benevolent person, or even just a craftsman who does a certain kind of work well, so that it can convey the concept of the court, inspire the people's thoughts, increase national cohesion and sense of belonging, and there are many benefits."
"Another example... Don't you think that the short things of the East and the West are ruining the style of the newspaper? At that time, this part had to be added for the sake of newspaper sales. Now that the "Jingcheng Daily" has established a firm foothold, these are really out of place and can be completely independent. Make a separate newspaper. In this way, the style of "Jingcheng Daily" has improved, and the common people can watch the excitement! It is human nature to love excitement, and the sales of this newspaper must not be bad!"
Yinzuo had a crazy brainstorm and spoke very happily. When he stopped, he found that the third elder brother looked at him very strangely.
Yinzuo: "...Did I say something wrong?"
"No," Brother San shook his head, "I just want to know what's your plan again?"
Yinzuo: "..."
"Third brother is keen, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but I didn't give up and wanted to try," Yinzuo gave a thumbs up and pretended to sigh.
Brother San couldn't help but twitched his mouth, and said leisurely, waving his folding fan, "I know that you kid is hiding something, beating around the bush and doing something, just say what you have to say."
"Third brother is bright, he loves younger brother!" Yin Zuo complimented again, and then said coyly, "It's just... those rumors outside, I don't know if third brother has heard of them?"
The third elder brother is a newspaper, and he is still sensitive to the voices of the outside world. After thinking for a while, he said, "The ones about you and Sloonton?"
Yin Zuo nodded, and said with a long sigh: "My brother really didn't expect that it was just for medical skills to have more contact with Ms. Sloonton, but it was said that this is the case. Now I have become a romantic brother in the mouth of others. I If you really did it, it’s fine, but you didn’t do anything, and you were given such a hat for nothing, and you feel really wronged.”
San Age's folding fan couldn't move anymore.
He didn't think it was a big deal at first, man, what's the point of spreading rumors about sex?But when Yin Zuo said this, he felt that Yin Zuo was pitiful.She didn't even have a woman by her side, so she got a reputation for being a romantic, thanks to that!
He put away the folding fan: "Do you want to clarify something in the newspaper?"
Yin Zuo nodded.
The third elder brother thought for a while, then made a decision: "Okay! I'll leave you a blank page, how do you think about it?"
……
The next day Yinzuo found Sloonton and asked her if she would like to be interviewed with him and go to the newspaper to refute the rumors.
Sloanton didn't care whether to refute the rumors or not, but he was very interested in being published in the newspaper, and gladly accepted Yinzuo's invitation.
A reporter came to interview that afternoon, and the next day, the interview article titled "Liu Baylor and Ms. Sloanton: Our Medical Dream" appeared in the latest issue of "Jingcheng Daily".
The people who bought the newspaper took a look: Hey!An entire section is an article?
Look again: Whoa!It's Six Baylor and that Western female scholar!
The gossip factor engraved in the DNA was ready to move, so I immediately immersed myself in reading it.
In the interview, Yinzuo and Sloonton talked about their expectations for future medicine. Yinzuo called Sloonton a good teacher and helpful friend, but she didn't want to be strongly opposed by Sloonton. Her Chinese is not good, and she heard the word "teacher" Thinking that Yin Zuo called her a teacher, he immediately expressed his objection.
"Ni's medical skills are better than that of Wo, and Ni is the old Si of Wo!"
This reporter was a bit skinny, and he vividly wrote Sloonton's accent.People who watched her once and heard her speak Chinese only felt that the words had their own sound effects, and couldn't help laughing.
A person next to him poked him: "Dude, do you know why you wrote it like that? I can probably understand the meaning of these two sentences, but writing it like this...is it a typo?"
"No, no, listen to me..." The man said the matter again, imitating Sloanton's accent.The facial expression and tone must be serious, and the accent must be crappy, so the smile is simply amazing!
People everywhere popularized the meaning of these two sentences, and Sloanton's accent was quickly played into a meme. While making fun of her accent, they also felt that she was much more friendly.
Although she is a foreigner, a knowledgeable scholar, and a woman, she seems to be high and unapproachable, but she is really cute with her accent.
After laughing, everyone remembered the content of the article: Oh!It turns out that Six Baylor and Sloanton are just partners. They study medicine together and regard each other as teachers, and there is no other messy relationship.
Relying on Sloanton's accent, this article successfully got out of the circle and spread word of mouth among the people, which was smoother than expected.
While the people love Sloonton, they also know how Yinzuo and Sloonton get along.The interest has always been because of the mystery, but when Yin Zuo revealed everything and put it in front of their eyes, they lost interest instead.
The matter of the rumors was settled, and Yinzuo went to see Daiyu with the newspaper.
Daiyu asked suspiciously, "Why do you show me this? I read this article, and it seems that there is nothing special about it."
Yinzuo cautiously: "I told you, don't be angry."
Daiyu tilted her head and glanced at him: "Tell me first, and I'll decide whether to be angry after listening."
Yinzuo: "..."
Don't do that!
Daiyu snorted and said, "Since you are afraid that I will be angry, it must be something that will make me angry. I don't know what it is, how can I be sure that I won't be angry after hearing it? If I can't control it, I won't be angry." I can only feel wronged brother."
Yinzuo: "..." All right.
Anyway, he would not hide it from Daiyu. He always believed that honesty and sincerity are the way to get along with each other for a long time. The so-called white lies are certainly reasonable, but if they cannot be kept secret for a lifetime, once the lie is exposed, the trust between people will be destroyed. It will collapse instantly, which is a more serious consequence than a moment of anger.So he has long decided to tell Daiyu no matter what in the future, and this time it is of course the same.
Yinzuo told Daiyu the cause and effect.After Daiyu listened quietly, Qinglingling's eyes fixed on Yinzuo.
Yinzuo didn't know she was happy or angry, so he couldn't help but raised his heart, and emphasized: "I really have nothing to do with Sloanton. It's all guessed by others. I have clarified it. Read this newspaper! There are no people outside now. Say something like that, really!"
Daiyu: "Yes."
Yinzuo: ...just hum, what do you mean?
He cautiously tried: "Don't be angry..."
Daiyu: "I'm not angry."
She is so calm, it stands to reason that Yin Zuo should breathe a sigh of relief, but he was even more scared, feeling like a volcano ready to move in front of him, he felt like sitting on pins and needles, coughed lightly: "If you are really angry, just, just scold me Sentence is also done."
"I'm really not angry. You are not wrong for scolding you for what you did." Daiyu looked at him in surprise.
Yin Zuo: "...Eh?"
Daiyu laughed and said, "I was just wondering, why do you think I'm going to be angry? Didn't you tell me about Sloanton? I know that she took classes with you and translated medical books. Not to mention that it didn't reach my ears, even if I heard it, I wouldn't believe it, and naturally I wouldn't be angry."
Yin Zuo was even more surprised.
Based on his shallow knowledge of girls, if an ordinary woman knows that her lover is close to other women, or even rumored to be rumored, even if she knew that the two were working together, she would definitely feel suspicious. Others are more sensitive, but this reaction is beyond Yinzuo's expectation.
Daiyu is so smart, she can tell what Yinzuo is thinking just by looking at Yinzuo's expression, she snorted softly and said, "Then tell yourself, are you someone you can't trust?"
Yin Zuo immediately said, "Of course I can trust it!"
Daiyu continued: "Even if I don't believe you, isn't there still the Fourth Princess? If there is anything wrong with you, she will tell me."
Yinzuo: "..."
Yinzuo couldn't help feeling sour again: "Could it be that you trust fourth sister more than me?"
Daiyu glanced at him: "I don't know who is spreading rumors with others, but the fourth princess is not there."
Yin Zuo was not convinced: "...that's just because the fourth sister is a woman, so no one gossips about them. The relationship between the fourth sister and Sloonton is very good!"
"I know," Daiyu covered half of her face with a round fan, and said with a chuckle, "The fourth princess told me in the letter."
Yinzuo: "..."
The two laughed and made a fuss. To be precise, it was Daiyu who was laughing and Yinzuo was making a fuss.This matter just passed, without the wind and rain as imagined, Yinzuo's mood was not as relaxed as expected, but rather heavy.
Sister Lin likes so many people, woo woo.
……
On the other hand, the third elder brother began to consider running another newspaper. Although Yin Zuo was talking nonsense, he also referred to the mature system of later generations. It is not surprising that the third elder brother would be persuaded.
The "Beijing Daily" has been running for so long, and there are many literati like the third elder brother who dislike the low style of the east and the west, and ordinary people feel that the poems, songs, and state affairs are incomprehensible, and there are always disputes.
It's okay to separate, and you can still earn two copies of silver!
The third elder brother doesn't think it's vulgar to earn money by accepting advertisements now. Because of running the "Beijing Daily" and earning a lot of money, Kangxi has already intentionally named him Baylor at the end of the year. The third elder brother only feels that he is full of energy. I wish I could earn more money.
Besides, running another newspaper is not only good for earning money, if there are rumors like Yin Zuo again, they will be able to talk, right?As soon as the anonymous article is written and published in the newspaper, it is over. It does not have to be like the "Beijing Daily", because it has to be responsible for the authenticity and formality, and it has to draw up a high-level topic, and then toss about interviews.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was appropriate. The third elder brother roughly drafted the regulations, then went to discuss revisions with Yinzuo, and handed over the revised documents to Kangxi within a few days.
Kangxi hesitated for a few days after reading the booklet, but agreed.
If Kangxi agreed, it would be easy. Brother San already had a mature team, allocated some people, and selected some from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The sub-newsletter named "Beijing Entertainment News" by Yin Zuo was on the right track. .
As Yin Zuo and San Age thought, "Beijing Entertainment News" was extremely popular once it was launched, even if scholars and bureaucrats regarded it as vulgar, it was not enough for the common people to like it.
Gossip is human nature!
"Jingcheng Entertainment News" is even more popular than "Jingcheng Daily". After ten days of publication, the daily sales volume has reached [-] copies. At the same time, advertising costs have also soared.
The third elder brother held the account book and sighed: "You earn a lot of money, but it is really criticized."
Because the style of the new newspaper is not high, the scholars who have a good impression of San Age because of the "Jingcheng Daily" are now showing a tendency to lose their fans and turn back.
Yinzuo said: "If you gain something, you will lose it. Just earn money and get promoted to the title, no matter what others say."
Brother San nodded: "That's the truth. Even if they scold me, they just pretend they can't hear them. Anyway, I have already let people spread the word that Jalu must run the entertainment newspaper, and it has nothing to do with me."
Jalu is now the general manager of "Beijing Entertainment News".
Yinzuo: "..."
Good chicken thief alone!
But his chicken thief is a chicken thief, readers may not believe it!
Yinzuo didn't remind the third elder brother, but just changed the subject and said: "My study window has been replaced, do you want to go and have a look?"
"Replaced?" Third elder brother became curious, "Let's go, take a look! I haven't seen what kind of glass window looks like, if it is good, I will replace it."
Speaking of the two going to Yinzuo Palace, they met the fifth elder brother on the way, and the two became three people.
The amount of glass is limited, and the craftsmanship needs to be perfected. Not all of the five Gandong Institutes have been replaced with glass windows, only the study room that consumes the most eyes.It's nice to have a quick glance, but it doesn't match the overall style of the palace, and it's unavoidably abrupt when it collides with it.
The third elder brother curled his lips first. He also has excellent aesthetics. He was not sensitive to this kind of decoration with conflicting styles, so he deducted five points in his heart.
Yinzuo didn't know what the third elder brother was thinking, so he opened the door and asked them to come in, and said with a smile, "You feel it."
It's amazing to feel it, this room is too bright!
Today’s windows are all made of tiles or paper. No matter how thin the ground is polished, the light transmittance is limited. When the windows are not open, they are always dark and gloomy. It's a dilemma no matter what.
But this glass is different, everyone can only see the sunlight falling on the desk through the transparent glass window, the whole room is brightly lit, the third elder brother tried it with a book, it was very clear, and it didn't bother the eyes at all.
Even better, you can still see the outside through this window.Brother San has already fantasized about planting a garden of flowers outside the window. Wouldn’t it be a great thing to look at the flowers through the glass window when tired of reading?
"In the past, I only knew that the colored glaze ornaments were crystal clear, but I didn't know that the flat colored glaze is the real treasure!" Third elder brother said happily, "Is there any more, I want to change it too!"
As for the aesthetics... the whole palace has been changed, wouldn't it be nice to have the same style!
He said: "I must do a report, readers will definitely be interested!"
Yinzuo's heart moved, and when he was about to speak, there was a light knock on the window. As soon as the third elder brother turned his head, he saw the prince standing outside, and took two steps back in fright: "Second elder brother is here too?"
"Gu heard that the glass window has been replaced, so I came here to take a look." The prince glanced at him, "What are you afraid of?"
The third elder brother was very well-behaved in front of the prince, and explained with a smile: "I have never seen a transparent window, and suddenly saw someone outside, so I was shocked, my brother is fine."
The prince nodded and came in from the outside, and he couldn't help nodding when he saw the room was bright: "It's really good."
Yin Zuo chuckled: "Actually, I think the common people will like it too."
As soon as he said the prince, he knew what it meant: "You want to sell it to the people?"
Yin Zuo nodded, isn't the treasury short of money? River affairs and the military are the masters of eating money. The money goes out every month, but there is not much money in. In order to build a factory ahead, the Minister of the Household Department almost hanged himself at the Dachaohui!
Naturally, the factory was built, and Yin Zuo met the Minister of the Household Department once again, and he felt that his forehead became more and more radiant.
However, the treasury is empty, and Kangxi is under great pressure.It's always a good thing to get blood back.
Yinzuo said: "People may not need to read for a long time, but mending clothes or doing some delicate work requires good light. I heard that people can't do work on cloudy and rainy days. If there are glass windows, they should like it." .”
The crown prince shook his head: "If the common people are to use it, the production must be sufficient, but it is not yet possible."
"Of course we don't want to sell it to the common people right now," Yinzuo smiled mysteriously, "everything is passed down from top to bottom, and it takes a while. Now the common people can't afford glazed windows, but some people can afford them!"
He is a person with aesthetic pursuits, so he is not very happy.
Kangxi is not happy, Yinzuo is happy!
Pointing to Kangxi, I don’t know when it will be changed, so hurry up if you can seize the opportunity. The glass window has not been used for many years, and Yinzuo misses it very much.
He immediately stepped forward: "My son is willing to try for Khan Ama."
Kangxi: "..."
As long as you don't be so excited, I can believe that you really want to relieve your worries.
Kangxi finally agreed to change the glazed window for Yinzuo first, and Yinzuo walked out of Qianqing Palace very happily, and said to Lin Ruhai who was with him: "This glazed window must be easy to use, Master Lin also left some glazed windows for himself to replace."
Lin Ruhai said: "The status of a lowly official is low, so I don't need such a good thing."
This Yinzuo disagreed: "You have contributed a lot to this matter, why can't you use the things you made yourself? Besides, you are the minister of Khan Ama, so don't say anything about being humble. gone."
Lin Ruhai said calmly: "Lord Belle praised you, if the colored glazes are really so useful, then they should all be given to the palace."
"How many windows are there in the palace, and how much glass can be used? The output is not too much now, but if glass is good for windows, Khan Ama will definitely build a few more glass factories, so you don't have to be too careful."
Use it as it should, and put it on for Sister Lin, lest she hurt her eyes when she draws.
Lin Ruhai: "Yes."
Yinzuo took a look at Lin Ruhai, feeling that he was different today.It looks respectful, but it's just...too respectful, isn't it?
Lin Ruhai was not like this before, even though he stopped her from seeing Daiyu at the beginning, they still made sense and got along quite happily.
Yinzuo asked: "What's on your mind, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Ruhai still said calmly: "Nothing, please worry about it."
Yin Zuo frowned: "Master Lin!"
He frowns at Lin Ruhai with the power of the prince Baylor. Lin Ruhai is silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I have heard some rumors that you and Ms. Sloanton..."

The third elder brother is a newspaper, and he is still sensitive to the voices of the outside world. After thinking for a while, he said, "The ones about you and Sloonton?"
Yin Zuo nodded, and said with a long sigh: "My brother really didn't expect that it was just for medical skills to have more contact with Ms. Sloonton, but it was said that this is the case. Now I have become a romantic brother in the mouth of others. I If you really did it, it’s fine, but you didn’t do anything, and you were given such a hat for nothing, and you feel really wronged.”
San Age's folding fan couldn't move anymore.
He didn't think it was a big deal at first, man, what's the point of spreading rumors about sex?But when Yin Zuo said this, he felt that Yin Zuo was pitiful.She didn't even have a woman by her side, so she got a reputation for being a romantic, thanks to that!
He put away the folding fan: "Do you want to clarify something in the newspaper?"
Yin Zuo nodded.
The third elder brother thought for a while, then made a decision: "Okay! I'll leave you a blank page, how do you think about it?"
……
The next day Yinzuo found Sloonton and asked her if she would like to be interviewed with him and go to the newspaper to refute the rumors.
Sloanton didn't care whether to refute the rumors or not, but he was very interested in being published in the newspaper, and gladly accepted Yinzuo's invitation.
A reporter came to interview that afternoon, and the next day, the interview article titled "Liu Baylor and Ms. Sloanton: Our Medical Dream" appeared in the latest issue of "Jingcheng Daily".
The people who bought the newspaper took a look: Hey!An entire section is an article?
Look again: Whoa!It's Six Baylor and that Western female scholar!
The gossip factor engraved in the DNA was ready to move, so I immediately immersed myself in reading it.
In the interview, Yinzuo and Sloonton talked about their expectations for future medicine. Yinzuo called Sloonton a good teacher and helpful friend, but she didn't want to be strongly opposed by Sloonton. Her Chinese is not good, and she heard the word "teacher" Thinking that Yin Zuo called her a teacher, he immediately expressed his objection.
"Ni's medical skills are better than that of Wo, and Ni is the old Si of Wo!"
This reporter was a bit skinny, and he vividly wrote Sloonton's accent.People who watched her once and heard her speak Chinese only felt that the words had their own sound effects, and couldn't help laughing.
A person next to him poked him: "Dude, do you know why you wrote it like that? I can probably understand the meaning of these two sentences, but writing it like this...is it a typo?"
"No, no, listen to me..." The man said the matter again, imitating Sloanton's accent.The facial expression and tone must be serious, and the accent must be crappy, so the smile is simply amazing!
People everywhere popularized the meaning of these two sentences, and Sloanton's accent was quickly played into a meme. While making fun of her accent, they also felt that she was much more friendly.
Although she is a foreigner, a knowledgeable scholar, and a woman, she seems to be high and unapproachable, but she is really cute with her accent.
After laughing, everyone remembered the content of the article: Oh!It turns out that Six Baylor and Sloanton are just partners. They study medicine together and regard each other as teachers, and there is no other messy relationship.
Relying on Sloanton's accent, this article successfully got out of the circle and spread word of mouth among the people, which was smoother than expected.
While the people love Sloonton, they also know how Yinzuo and Sloonton get along.The interest has always been because of the mystery, but when Yin Zuo revealed everything and put it in front of their eyes, they lost interest instead.
The matter of the rumors was settled, and Yinzuo went to see Daiyu with the newspaper.
Daiyu asked suspiciously, "Why do you show me this? I read this article, and it seems that there is nothing special about it."
Yinzuo cautiously: "I told you, don't be angry."
Daiyu tilted her head and glanced at him: "Tell me first, and I'll decide whether to be angry after listening."
Yinzuo: "..."
Don't do that!
Daiyu snorted and said, "Since you are afraid that I will be angry, it must be something that will make me angry. I don't know what it is, how can I be sure that I won't be angry after hearing it? If I can't control it, I won't be angry." I can only feel wronged brother."
Yinzuo: "..." All right.
Anyway, he would not hide it from Daiyu. He always believed that honesty and sincerity are the way to get along with each other for a long time. The so-called white lies are certainly reasonable, but if they cannot be kept secret for a lifetime, once the lie is exposed, the trust between people will be destroyed. It will collapse instantly, which is a more serious consequence than a moment of anger.So he has long decided to tell Daiyu no matter what in the future, and this time it is of course the same.
Yinzuo told Daiyu the cause and effect.After Daiyu listened quietly, Qinglingling's eyes fixed on Yinzuo.
Yinzuo didn't know she was happy or angry, so he couldn't help but raised his heart, and emphasized: "I really have nothing to do with Sloanton. It's all guessed by others. I have clarified it. Read this newspaper! There are no people outside now. Say something like that, really!"
Daiyu: "Yes."
Yinzuo: ...just hum, what do you mean?
He cautiously tried: "Don't be angry..."
Daiyu: "I'm not angry."
She is so calm, it stands to reason that Yin Zuo should breathe a sigh of relief, but he was even more scared, feeling like a volcano ready to move in front of him, he felt like sitting on pins and needles, coughed lightly: "If you are really angry, just, just scold me Sentence is also done."
"I'm really not angry. You are not wrong for scolding you for what you did." Daiyu looked at him in surprise.
Yin Zuo: "...Eh?"
Daiyu laughed and said, "I was just wondering, why do you think I'm going to be angry? Didn't you tell me about Sloanton? I know that she took classes with you and translated medical books. Not to mention that it didn't reach my ears, even if I heard it, I wouldn't believe it, and naturally I wouldn't be angry."
Yin Zuo was even more surprised.
Based on his shallow knowledge of girls, if an ordinary woman knows that her lover is close to other women, or even rumored to be rumored, even if she knew that the two were working together, she would definitely feel suspicious. Others are more sensitive, but this reaction is beyond Yinzuo's expectation.
Daiyu is so smart, she can tell what Yinzuo is thinking just by looking at Yinzuo's expression, she snorted softly and said, "Then tell yourself, are you someone you can't trust?"
Yin Zuo immediately said, "Of course I can trust it!"
Daiyu continued: "Even if I don't believe you, isn't there still the Fourth Princess? If there is anything wrong with you, she will tell me."
Yinzuo: "..."
Yinzuo couldn't help feeling sour again: "Could it be that you trust fourth sister more than me?"
Daiyu glanced at him: "I don't know who is spreading rumors with others, but the fourth princess is not there."
Yin Zuo was not convinced: "...that's just because the fourth sister is a woman, so no one gossips about them. The relationship between the fourth sister and Sloonton is very good!"
"I know," Daiyu covered half of her face with a round fan, and said with a chuckle, "The fourth princess told me in the letter."
Yinzuo: "..."
The two laughed and made a fuss. To be precise, it was Daiyu who was laughing and Yinzuo was making a fuss.This matter just passed, without the wind and rain as imagined, Yinzuo's mood was not as relaxed as expected, but rather heavy.
Sister Lin likes so many people, woo woo.
……
On the other hand, the third elder brother began to consider running another newspaper. Although Yin Zuo was talking nonsense, he also referred to the mature system of later generations. It is not surprising that the third elder brother would be persuaded.
The "Beijing Daily" has been running for so long, and there are many literati like the third elder brother who dislike the low style of the east and the west, and ordinary people feel that the poems, songs, and state affairs are incomprehensible, and there are always disputes.
It's okay to separate, and you can still earn two copies of silver!
The third elder brother doesn't think it's vulgar to earn money by accepting advertisements now. Because of running the "Beijing Daily" and earning a lot of money, Kangxi has already intentionally named him Baylor at the end of the year. The third elder brother only feels that he is full of energy. I wish I could earn more money.
Besides, running another newspaper is not only good for earning money, if there are rumors like Yin Zuo again, they will be able to talk, right?As soon as the anonymous article is written and published in the newspaper, it is over. It does not have to be like the "Beijing Daily", because it has to be responsible for the authenticity and formality, and it has to draw up a high-level topic, and then toss about interviews.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was appropriate. The third elder brother roughly drafted the regulations, then went to discuss revisions with Yinzuo, and handed over the revised documents to Kangxi within a few days.
Kangxi hesitated for a few days after reading the booklet, but agreed.
If Kangxi agreed, it would be easy. Brother San already had a mature team, allocated some people, and selected some from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The sub-newsletter named "Beijing Entertainment News" by Yin Zuo was on the right track. .
As Yin Zuo and San Age thought, "Beijing Entertainment News" was extremely popular once it was launched, even if scholars and bureaucrats regarded it as vulgar, it was not enough for the common people to like it.
Gossip is human nature!
"Jingcheng Entertainment News" is even more popular than "Jingcheng Daily". After ten days of publication, the daily sales volume has reached [-] copies. At the same time, advertising costs have also soared.
The third elder brother held the account book and sighed: "You earn a lot of money, but it is really criticized."
Because the style of the new newspaper is not high, the scholars who have a good impression of San Age because of the "Jingcheng Daily" are now showing a tendency to lose their fans and turn back.
Yinzuo said: "If you gain something, you will lose it. Just earn money and get promoted to the title, no matter what others say."
Brother San nodded: "That's the truth. Even if they scold me, they just pretend they can't hear them. Anyway, I have already let people spread the word that Jalu must run the entertainment newspaper, and it has nothing to do with me."
Jalu is now the general manager of "Beijing Entertainment News".
Yinzuo: "..."
Good chicken thief alone!
But his chicken thief is a chicken thief, readers may not believe it!
Yinzuo didn't remind the third elder brother, but just changed the subject and said: "My study window has been replaced, do you want to go and have a look?"
"Replaced?" Third elder brother became curious, "Let's go, take a look! I haven't seen what kind of glass window looks like, if it is good, I will replace it."
Speaking of the two going to Yinzuo Palace, they met the fifth elder brother on the way, and the two became three people.
The amount of glass is limited, and the craftsmanship needs to be perfected. Not all of the five Gandong Institutes have been replaced with glass windows, only the study room that consumes the most eyes.It's nice to have a quick glance, but it doesn't match the overall style of the palace, and it's unavoidably abrupt when it collides with it.
The third elder brother curled his lips first. He also has excellent aesthetics. He was not sensitive to this kind of decoration with conflicting styles, so he deducted five points in his heart.
Yinzuo didn't know what the third elder brother was thinking, so he opened the door and asked them to come in, and said with a smile, "You feel it."
It's amazing to feel it, this room is too bright!
Today’s windows are all made of tiles or paper. No matter how thin the ground is polished, the light transmittance is limited. When the windows are not open, they are always dark and gloomy. It's a dilemma no matter what.
But this glass is different, everyone can only see the sunlight falling on the desk through the transparent glass window, the whole room is brightly lit, the third elder brother tried it with a book, it was very clear, and it didn't bother the eyes at all.
Even better, you can still see the outside through this window.Brother San has already fantasized about planting a garden of flowers outside the window. Wouldn’t it be a great thing to look at the flowers through the glass window when tired of reading?
"In the past, I only knew that the colored glaze ornaments were crystal clear, but I didn't know that the flat colored glaze is the real treasure!" Third elder brother said happily, "Is there any more, I want to change it too!"
As for the aesthetics... the whole palace has been changed, wouldn't it be nice to have the same style!
He said: "I must do a report, readers will definitely be interested!"
Yinzuo's heart moved, and when he was about to speak, there was a light knock on the window. As soon as the third elder brother turned his head, he saw the prince standing outside, and took two steps back in fright: "Second elder brother is here too?"
"Gu heard that the glass window has been replaced, so I came here to take a look." The prince glanced at him, "What are you afraid of?"
The third elder brother was very well-behaved in front of the prince, and explained with a smile: "I have never seen a transparent window, and suddenly saw someone outside, so I was shocked, my brother is fine."
The prince nodded and came in from the outside, and he couldn't help nodding when he saw the room was bright: "It's really good."
Yin Zuo chuckled: "Actually, I think the common people will like it too."
As soon as he said the prince, he knew what it meant: "You want to sell it to the people?"
Yin Zuo nodded, isn't the treasury short of money? River affairs and the military are the masters of eating money. The money goes out every month, but there is not much money in. In order to build a factory ahead, the Minister of the Household Department almost hanged himself at the Dachaohui!
Naturally, the factory was built, and Yin Zuo met the Minister of the Household Department once again, and he felt that his forehead became more and more radiant.
However, the treasury is empty, and Kangxi is under great pressure.It's always a good thing to get blood back.
Yinzuo said: "People may not need to read for a long time, but mending clothes or doing some delicate work requires good light. I heard that people can't do work on cloudy and rainy days. If there are glass windows, they should like it." .”
The crown prince shook his head: "If the common people are to use it, the production must be sufficient, but it is not yet possible."
"Of course we don't want to sell it to the common people right now," Yinzuo smiled mysteriously, "everything is passed down from top to bottom, and it takes a while. Now the common people can't afford glazed windows, but some people can afford them!"
