Chapter 1,706 Shen An Swears

"These beads are best made into a necklace. Guoguo's neck is white and tender, and it looks good against the background."

"How about making it into a bracelet, it's just inconvenient."

Yang Zhuoxue took Guoguo to study how to get those big pearls. Shen An, without any guilt at all, asked someone to spread the news, saying that the Shen family had learned that there were big pearls in the north and planned to buy some.

As for how to buy it, just look for those smugglers.

Don't think that there are no smugglers anymore because the Song Dynasty and Liao Kingdom are at war with each other. There are many.

"When you go out, remember to say that our family bought it ourselves!"

Shen An lay on the recliner and read a book leisurely.

This is a novel.

The means he laid out finally came to fruition.

Yang Zhuoxue smiled and said, "I know."

The Shen family is not short of money, who dares to question it?

Shen An suddenly asked: "Yesterday when I was in court, my husband saw that Mr. Bao was a little listless. What happened?"

"This matter..." Yang Zhuoxue said with some annoyance: "Ouyang Gong was not recuperating at home... he often drank and had fun with others. Once, some people said that Ouyang Gong's literary name should be spread for thousands of years, but someone nearby said that Bao Gong's literary name was not It’s worth mentioning. Later, some people spread the word, and Mr. Bao felt uncomfortable after hearing it.”

A person has self-esteem. If you want to leave a name in this era, literary achievements are essential.

Bao Zheng's literary achievements are not as good as Ouyang Xiu's, but you can't publicize it in such a big way, right?

"Later, when Mr. Ouyang sobered up, he went to see Mr. Bao to apologize. Mr. Bao said he was relieved."

Shen An said oh and continued reading.

This book describes a world of immortals, with various techniques and forces. Everyone practices hard in order to ascend and competes for cultivation resources, resulting in all kinds of grievances and resentments.

The battles in this book are described so well that it makes your blood boil. And it also takes into account emotions. The protagonist in it...

Grass mud horse!

Shen An became angry when he saw the back.

How dare you stall a horse?

The protagonist of this book unexpectedly accepted women from the beginning to the finale. Shen An counted them and found that there were more than fifty people.

Damn it!

There are more than fifty women. Even if the protagonist is a practitioner, his waist can't handle it!

But this person's writing skills are so good that he portrays each woman in an impressive way. From time to time, he shyly and timidly describes how to have sex, which makes people think...

Ahem!

Shen An glanced at Yang Zhuoxue. The couple had a lot of sex last night, but now he was a little ready to make a move.

They were both an old couple. When Yang Zhuoxue saw his eyes, she wrinkled her nose and then looked away.

What...can't do it during the day!

Wait until night!

Shen An felt regretful, stood up and said, "My husband has something to do when I go out."

He went all the way to the bookstore, and the craftsmen gathered around him as if they were seeing their reborn parents.

"Mr. Lang, we haven't had any work for more than a month. We are so worried about receiving this money!"

"Lang Jun, the shop has been printing those collections of classics and histories all day long. We have carved the movable type, and the rest of the work is typesetting. We have nothing to do."

"..."

They are all good people!

In the future, getting paid without working will be everyone's favorite way of working, but at this moment, these craftsmen are reflecting very guiltily.

"How about I deduct some from the villain's salary?"

"Yes, I feel embarrassed holding all this money."

This realization made Shen An very happy, and he said calmly: "Stop the collection of Classics and History first, and get out Bao Gong's reading notes."

A sample book of Bao Gong's reading notes has long been published, but Shen An has been putting it aside.

This is biding your time.

"Print it with all your strength!"

Shen An was in charge of the bookstore, and the craftsmen were immediately full of energy when they had work to do.

In fact, everyone likes to get paid for nothing without working, but such a life will not last long!

Getting paid for work is a matter of course.

So as soon as Shen An came back, the bookstore started working like a chicken.

"Bring the second page of the board!"

"On page three!"

The bookstore was busy, and Shen An sat outside to enjoy the cool breeze and read novels.

That group of people has produced more than ten novels, and the bookstore has left three novels in the preliminary review. Shen An is now in the final review.

No one came on the first day.

The next day he was still the same.

"You are in good spirits."

On the third day, Wang Yu came.

"When will Zuo Zhen give birth?"

Shen An asked.

Speaking of this, Wang Yu's face showed a smile, "About November."

"Congratulations first!" Shen An picked up the book again.

"Ouyang Xiu didn't dare to go out at home, did you know?" Wang Yu opened the folding fan and fanned it a few times, and the cold wind blew.

Shen An frowned and looked at the folding fan and said, "Is this an illness?"

Wang Yu said coldly: "Just pretend to be stupid. There was a poetry party at Ouyang Xiu's house. A group of monsters and ghosts were having a carnival. Someone said something bad about Mr. Bao. The man drank too much, but others took the opportunity to make a fuss. Mr. Bao was so angry at home that he said something bad. After three days of rest... I don’t believe you and you don’t want to do it.”

"The man has already escaped." Shen An looked at the people on the street and said calmly: "The man disappeared the next day. He is extremely cowardly."

The next day when the incident happened, Yang Zhuoxue was furious after hearing the news. He immediately sent people outside the city and found the rural soldiers who were left behind, preparing to deal with the man. But I didn't expect that man to run faster than a rabbit. It is said that his intestines turned green after he sobered up early that morning. He was worried that the Shen family would cause trouble for him, so he ran away that night.

As a result, the reputation of the lady who suffered a broken leg once again resounded over Bianliang City.

"But Ouyang Xiu is a little wary of your methods." Wang Yu closed the folding fan and tapped his palms, "You have made great achievements in going to the north this time. It won't hurt to break Ouyang Xiu's leg, but you might humiliate him in front of him.

He is old and cherishes his feathers, so he hides at home and dare not go out. "

This guy is still so sarcastic!

Shen An couldn't help but laugh at these words, "A certain person has always convinced people with his virtue, so he won't do anything. Besides, Ouyang Xiude is highly respected, so he can just say what he says."

hehe!

Wang Yu sneered: "Others say that it's enough to convince people with virtue, but you?"

"What are you going to do?" Seeing that he ignored him, Wang Yu came up with an idea, "Ouyang Xiu's poems and articles are very good, but I and Zizhan are not bad either. I am going to look for an opportunity to hold a poetry meeting in the academy. When the time comes, I will Everyone who had been to Ouyang Xiu's house that day was invited, and then he wrote poems..."

When those people who wrote poems met Su Shi and Wang Yu, they were afraid they would be humiliated and ashamed.

As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the literary world, seemed increasingly powerless under the impact of younger generations.

"No need." Shen An said: "Ouyang Xiu is unintentional, so let's let this matter go."

Wang Yu frowned and looked at him, "Really?"

"Someone swears!"

Wang Yu stood up and said, "This is what my father asked me to ask. He will tell Ouyang Xiu later."

"good."

Shen An looked really calm and calm.

Bookstores continue to print.

"Only Lang Jun has such skill."

Movable type printing requires flexibility and low cost, but Shen An generously formatted Bao Zheng's reading notes into a sample book and kept all the versions.

After a few days, when there was no movement from Shen An, Ouyang Xiu came out again, and even invited Bao Zheng to have a drink, saying he wanted to apologize.

It's just that Lao Bao's self-esteem was hurt by that attack and he said nothing.

He is not a very cheerful person, and his self-esteem is stronger than others.

So Ouyang Xiu kept singing, dancing, and having fun with girls.

Bao Zheng also went to the Yamen as usual.

There are many things going on in the political hall, and the biggest thing recently is preparing based on the news brought back by Shen An.

The Northern Expedition is about to start.

This is the consensus of the political hall.

The officials have tightened their budget, using the excuse that there was a locust plague on Jingdong Road this year and they needed to be frugal.

But today, the Song Dynasty is no longer the Song Dynasty with empty treasury. Han Jiang from Sansi said that even though Sansi’s annual balance is so large, it is a routine method.

If necessary, the Third Division can spend millions of dollars as military expenditure at any time.

There are also mountains of grain and grass in grain depots in various places. This is the greatest confidence of the Song Dynasty.

"Han Jiang said, don't worry about the food and grass. The Third Division has already sent people to check. As long as the officials give the order, the Third Division can mobilize the money and food needed for the army to ensure that the soldiers will not go hungry."

Han Qi said with high spirits: "We have enough troops and food, everything is ready, we just have to wait for the officials to make a decision."

"This matter remains to be seen." Zeng Gongliang said: "Didn't Wen Yanbo say last time that everything in the army is fine, but the war horses are a little worse."

"War horses!" Han Qi also had a headache about this. "It didn't take long to recover the northwest, but we also collected a lot of war horses. How come it's not enough?"

"The last batch of war horses was intercepted by Wang Shao from the northwest." Zeng Gongliang became angry when he mentioned this, "They said they were going to attack the Fan people."

"That Wang Shao..." Han Qi muttered: "Shen An said this man has the ability to lead an army."

"Could it be bragging?" Zeng Gongliang said vigilantly: "Everything else is fine. This important matter of employing people must not be ignored."

The spirit looked at the somewhat unworthy Bao Zheng who habitually defended Shen An, "How could Shen An brag about such things? Have you forgotten the people he has valued in recent years, Su Yan, Tang Ren... Now he has become a talent."

Zeng Gongliang nodded, "Let's see."

Han Qi sighed: "I have been an official all my life, and what I look forward to most is the Northern Expedition. If it is the Northern Expedition, I am willing to be a pawn."

This old thing!

Fu Bi sneered: "Who dares to let you be a pawn?"

Han Qi's words were a statement that he wanted to lead the army again.

But Zeng Gongliang and others all knew that this matter was probably unreliable.

Old Han led the army too many times, which was a bit dangerous.

Han Qi felt that there was still hope for him. Seeing Bao Zheng's sadness, he said, "Xiren is still thinking about that?"

Bao Zheng shook his head, but everyone knew that this man's pride was hurt.

"Uncle Yong is also unintentional, you don't need to take it to heart."

Han Qi said this in a way that did not hurt his back. UU Reading www.uukａｓhu.net

Fu Bi said calmly: "People want face and trees want bark. Those words will tear off Xiren's face. If it were me, I would definitely not let it go. Xiren is already very magnanimous."

Bao Zheng didn't want to bring up this topic anymore, so he got up and went out.

"Shen An is back." After he went out, Zeng Gongliang said calmly.

Han Qi frowned and said: "If he broke Ouyang Xiu's leg... that's not right. This matter has nothing to do with Ouyang Xiu. It's just that he didn't take action to punish that person. It's just joint and several. If Shen An takes action, it would be too much. And Ouyang Xiu He is the former prime minister, how can he take action?"

"Shen An has been reading in the bookstore these days. It seems he knows this truth."

Everyone sighed, feeling that Bao Zheng was extremely aggrieved this time.

"Depression hurts the liver!"

Han Qi sighed: "We have to find something to make him happy. Otherwise, if he collapses one day, Ouyang Xiu will run out of Beijing as far as he can."

Zeng Gongliang nodded and said, "By then, I'm afraid even His Majesty won't be able to stop Shen An's revenge."

But how can we make Bao Zheng happy?

Everyone thought for a while but had no idea.

I'll go to the office later.

Han Qi insisted on dragging Bao Zheng to drink, and by the way, he also dragged the ministers along with him.

This is what he came up with.

If you feel depressed, then drink.

By the way, looking at the young and beautiful woman makes me feel happy.

After everyone left the imperial city, Bao Zheng remained silent.

"Three articles in one volume!"

"So cheap?"

"Yes, it's three coins per volume. It's said that it was sold at a loss."

Han Qi and others stopped and looked at the flow of people in front of them that suddenly changed.

All went to the left.

"What's going on here?".

Han Qi was a little puzzled.

"Go quickly! The Shen family's bookstore is selling books!"
