"What is a half-time fast?"

"This is the study room. My father said that this study room will only be used by you in the future, and it will be discussed after you get married. I have asked the shopkeeper Qiye to go to Laohengju to order a horizontal plaque. The name is Banxianzhai."

Fan Xian sensed something was wrong, and forced to ask, "What is that Banxianzhai poetry anthology?"

"Huh? It's the poems you read in the hall that day, which have been collected by the Grand Scholars. Your Majesty is going to have them printed in the name of Wenyuan Pavilion. I begged my father to ask for this errand."

After Xishan Zhifang was stolen, those imperial merchants were dismissed from their duties and investigated, but they did not recover for a long time. In addition, the inner treasury received a warning from the palace and dared not target Danbo Bookstore again. Danbo Bookstore has finally regained its strength, so it is natural to prepare to make a big splash. The treasurer Qiye and the little treasurer Sizhe first set their sights on this imperial poetry collection. The money allocated by the palace is part of it, and the palace allows After it is printed, it is sold privately, which is a lot of money.

Who wrote this poem? Fan Xian. Who is Fan Xian? Fan Xian is the behind-the-scenes owner of Danbo Bookstore. This lucrative business, whether it is the Qiye shopkeeper of Qingyutang, or Fan Sizhe who is standing behind the shopkeeper and laughing, is impossible to benefit the court. Fan Sizhe hated his brother for refusing to hand over the last ten chapters of Shi Shi Ji, now that he has a collection of poems, how can he let it go.

Fan Xian wrote down the five words Banxianzhai Poetry Collection on the paper, and wrote down his own name, but he smiled wryly in his heart. That night, in order to cover up his whereabouts in the middle of the night, he pretended to be drunk in the hall, but he became mad and didn't stop talking for a while. In these poems, there are many allusions that cannot be explained clearly. If you want to explain these allusions clearly, you must not write How many stories in history books do you know.

You have to keep the four great classics in order, right? Do you need a copy of the world to talk about the new language? Analects? The Book of Songs? Hey, don't think too little, an overhead version of Zizhi Tongjian? Time travel version of Sima Shiji? Write it all out and no one will comment.

Thinking of this kind of workload, Fan Xian shuddered in fright. If it really expands like this, I am afraid that Danbo Bookstore will really become a disseminator of advanced culture in the previous life, fulfilling the ambition he made in Danzhou back then. . Said: "Wenyuan Pavilion failed. You have to take it back, and I will re-check it myself. I drank too much that day, who knows what nonsense I was talking about."

He made up his mind, if he could fool it, he would fool it. If it really didn't work, he had to cut the meat and delete it all under the pretext of getting drunk. Anyway, people who drink too much are prone to amnesia the next day.

"This is an out-of-print." Fan Sizhe shook his head, "I think in five years' time, you won't be able to write poetry anymore, and if you come back to the poetry world again, you'll probably earn a lot of money."

Fan Xian shook his head with a smile, his eyes suddenly fell on the pink paper in the corner of the study, and he asked curiously, "What is that?"

Fan Sizhe said, "The gift list."

Fan Xian was slightly taken aback, and then remembered that his wedding day was approaching, but so many things had happened recently, there was no denying that his mood was slightly different from when he was celebrating the temple. After all, she and her mother can't get along with each other, the current emperor can still control everything, once His Majesty doesn't want to control, then the Eldest Princess will definitely kill herself.

Or to say: I will definitely kill the eldest princess.

The long-awaited wedding is coming. However, some uneasiness and sadness arose in Fan Xian's heart.

※※※

In the next few days, Tanbo Bookstore's flagship collection of Banxianzhai poems finally came out. This time Danbo Bookstore got the right to print, and Fan Xian personally deleted many of them. He thought he was relieved, but unexpectedly the bookstore held a ceremony, and in Fan Xian's name, Prince Jing's son, Honglu Temple Shaoqing Xin Qiwu and others were all invited.

Fan Xian was taken aback, and only let his talented younger sister Fan Ruoruo go out to the public as an image spokesperson, and started to sell it lively, but he himself hid in the royal courtyard under the pretext of maintaining the mystery of a generation of poets, and talked with Lin Wan'er. love to go.

Bapin Xielulang sprayed hundreds of poems on the spot, shocking Zhuang Mohan, a generation of masters, to vomit blood and run away. This story has already been spread in the Qing Dynasty. Although some poems have already spread to the people, this collection of poems is called the author’s own version. Nature is very unusual. Sure enough, as soon as the collection of poems came out, Fan Xian's reputation suddenly rose to a new level.

The small building was windy again last night.

Fan Xian looked at his fiancée tenderly, smiled and said, "The method you said won't work."

Lin Wan'er frowned, her lips pouted cutely: "I haven't gone out for a few days."

In fact, this little girl also knows about the recent events in the capital. Even though she grew up in the palace, those women held her in the palm of her hand. On the one hand, she is weak and gentle, so it is impossible to cause harm to those women On the other hand, it was because His Majesty the Emperor seemed to love him very much.

Of course, she didn't see the "words" about the eldest princess, but she gradually heard some rumors. Later, before the Eldest Princess left Kyoto for Xinyang, she had been to another courtyard. The mother and daughter sat opposite each other for a while, and the Eldest Princess got into the car and left the capital.

Although Lin Wan'er didn't know the relationship between Fan Xian and her mother's departure, she still felt that Fan Xian's mood was not as relaxed and happy as before, so she suggested finding another day to go out to enjoy the autumn scenery. very famous.

But when he heard the word Xishan, Fan Xian thought of the paper shop that had a monopoly on the paper used in Kyoto, and thought of the Eldest Princess who seemed to be watching him timidly behind the paper shop.

Fan Xian knew that the most fundamental force for the eldest princess to leave the capital was His Majesty the Emperor, and his "words" were just to give the Emperor a reason to convince himself and the Empress Dowager.

Let me explain here. Today, the government and the public of the Qing Dynasty call the leaflets that fell like snowflakes that day "word paper", because they think that this is a paper path for people to speak after their appeals have nowhere to go.

During this period of time, Jingdu actually repeated this kind of "speech paper" throwing action several times, which made the Overwatch Council nervous for a while. One of them didn't know until it was caught. , but couldn't get into Dengwen Academy at all, so I learned such a method.

The Overwatch Council chased after Gen'er, and finally found out that it was Xishan Zhifang who provided paper to these bitter people!

But the person who wrote the grievances for these hard laborers could not be dug out. He only knew that the extremely soft handwriting was written by a fortune teller next to the Qing Temple. But when the Overwatch Council went to Qing Temple to search, they found that there was no fortune teller in this place—except for the great priest who seemed to have never been out of the temple in his entire life.

Naturally, the matter of the copper mine was handed over to one office. Soon a bunch of officials from Taiyuan Road were arrested and returned to Beijing, only to be executed one month later. It's just that the imperial court couldn't bear this kind of verbal behavior anymore, and strengthened the management of paper, but Mr. Chen, the director of the Overwatch Council, didn't punish those Tongshan hard laborers. In the eyes of the officials, Master Chen seemed to have softened a lot.

He came back to his senses, looked at Wan'er who was slightly sad, walked forward with a smile, gently stroked her round jaw, and said gently: "What are you thinking? The eldest princess has returned to Xinyang, we have a chance after marriage, Of course I want to visit."

This is of course a lie. Fan Xian hoped that he would never go to Xinyang in his life, and hoped that the eldest princess would die in Xinyang from now on. Of course, he also knew that before the power of the eldest princess and that mysterious partner was really shaken, His Majesty the emperor liked to play tricks of luring snakes out of the hole, and the eldest princess would come back one day.

Lin Wan'er forced a smile and said: "Look, I entered the palace yesterday, and you also know about the recent events in Beijing. The ladies are fine, but the Queen Mother seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable, and Your Majesty has not treated me as kindly as before."

Fan Xian sighed in his heart, wondering who is the prince who the emperor is having a headache colluding with your mother, how could it be like before.

The two chatted a little more, when suddenly they heard the sound of a nanny going upstairs. Like a reflex, Fan Xian jumped up very coolly, and climbed on the window sill, ready to turn out from the window. Lin Wan'er chuckled and said, "Are you really used to it?"

Fan Xian laughed in embarrassment. Looking at Wan'er's slightly pale face, he felt pity in his heart. He stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Don't be tired before the big wedding. As for the illness, don't worry about it." Don’t be afraid, I have everything, and I will be there in the future.”

The green branches outside the window stubbornly maintain their vivid colors in the autumn wind, trying to prove that no matter how bleak the external environment is, it still has a yearning for beauty.

At the corner of the stairs, Si Qi, the eldest maid, looked at the uncle and the young lady hugging each other, and she couldn't help sticking out her tongue playfully, thinking that the uncle of the Fan family has been a genius all his life, so he is still so shameless.

The wedding was imminent, and the entire Fan Manor took action. The eldest princess was not in the capital, so the arrangement work over there was unexpectedly directed secretly by Concubine Shu. In addition to feeling honored, the entire Fan Mansion was more cautious, for fear that what was done was not detailed enough and did not conform to the rules.

But the rules themselves are extremely difficult. Lin Wan'er's status as princess only works in the palace, and in the world outside the palace, her status is still Prime Minister Lin's illegitimate daughter, and she was forced to recognize her by His Majesty at the beginning of the year. Therefore, it has not been confirmed whether this big wedding will be done according to Princess Shang's ceremonies, or whether it is a normal marriage between ministers and children.

The Liu family entered the palace again, and finally got a clear instruction from the queen mother. Although the queen mother disliked the Lin family's involvement in her precious granddaughter's marriage, she still had to bow her head to the world and acquiesced to the Lin family's joining , At the same time, it was announced that the wedding would no longer be carried out according to the ceremony of the princess's marriage.

Although the senior aunts of the Fan family who knew the inside story were a little disappointed, they thought that marrying the prime minister's family would be a matter of great dignity, so they got ready again and again.

It's just that no one expected that the spectacle of Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er's wedding was more worth remembering for several years than the scene of the wedding of the princess' son-in-law.
