Chapter 7 Little Six!

In the early morning, in the palace of King Bin, the servants were busy loading wooden boxes to the carriages outside the door. King Bin was about to take office in Bozhou. His family members were traveling with him and there were a lot of luggage. Several convoys had already been carried, and they arrived in Bozhou Prefecture to settle in advance.

The Bin Prince Mansion is a "family relocation" this time, but in fact, the royal mansion does not have much luggage to move. They are all small utensils or clothes that families are used to on weekdays, and those large furniture do not need to be moved.

Because the Bin Mansion in Bozhou will buy various items locally, although it will cost a lot of money and food, it will save a lot of trouble.

Now the convoy in front of the palace is the luggage of the assistants, and the families of the assistants travel far away. After all, everyone is not as rich as King Bin, and they take their families to take office thousands of miles with the palace master, and the expenses are too high.

So this is considered a "benefit" given to the assistants by the royal palace, and the number of guards in the royal palace is limited, so in order to transport a large amount of luggage, the royal palace contacted the escort shop and hired the other party to send the luggage and passengers to Xiaohuang, Bozhou.

The butler Li Sanjiu took the list handed over by his subordinates and confirmed that the items and people who had "departed" today were matched. He nodded and bowed to the respectful heads in front of him: "Everyone, I'm working hard."

Several escort leaders repeatedly said "I dare not", and then led the escorts to take the convoy to set off. Seeing the carriage slowly leaving, Li Sanjiu couldn't help but sigh:

When the man in the work, he really likes to "dividend equally" and moves a house, he wants to make business for the escort business.

Looking back at the royal palace, Li Sanjiu felt a little reluctant. He lived here with the husband's family for almost ten years, and now he is about to move out, so of course he is a little nostalgic.

However, Li Sanjiu knew that the Langzhu's foundation was in Huangzhou, so this move to Bozhou does not mean that the royal palace in Xiyang City will change its owner. This place is still the Prince's Mansion, and y just becomes a "retro courtyard".

As a royal vassal king, Langzhu could not have private leave in the capital. If today, his son issued an edict to grant King Bi a mansion, Li Sanjiu had to arrange people to go to the capital to handle the "stay behind" so that King Bi could move in at any time when he arrived in the capital in the future.

Nowadays, the Bin Mansion has a big family and a large family, and there are more and more servants in the villa and the steward. Li Sanjiu, as a steward, definitely can't take care of so many, so it's natural to have more "second housekeepers" and "third housekeepers".

But for Li Sanjiu, it is enough to be able to accompany the mistress of the man's wife.

He was a eunuch. He entered the palace as a eunuch since he was a child. He had no relatives or reasons. The man's family was his relative in a sense.

Li Sanjiu looked at the pocket watch and turned around and walked towards the backyard. At this time, the man should have already gotten up.

......

In Fanglan Courtyard and in the dormitory, Yuwen Wen was having breakfast with the side room, "Fanglan Courtyard" Xiao Jiuniang. Yuwen Wen held a banquet yesterday afternoon to entertain Duke Tang Guo who visited him, Li Yuan, the new governor of Ezhou. The host and the guest had a great chat.

At night, he and Xiao Jiuniang had a very happy conversation. The beauty was moistened by rain and dew. At this time, her eyes were filled with affection and became more and more charming.

Yuwen Wen was watched affectionately by Xiao Jiuniang, and his heart was irritated: If he couldn't help it, he wouldn't want to go out this morning.

Because Xiao Jiuniang doesn't have to deliberately flatter her, she can still make Yuwen Wen unable to stop.

He had something to do today, so he didn't dare to think too much. He frowned and thought about it. He picked up the newspaper sent by the butler Li Sanjiugang and pretended to look.

Yes, I'm reading the newspaper.

Huangzhou's printing and papermaking industries are developed, so the emergence of newspapers is normal.

The question is, in an era when literacy rates are outrageously low, can newspapers be sold?

Except for super cities like Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yecheng, newspapers are basically impossible to have sales in other places. Even in Chang'an and other places, even if newspapers appear, sales may not be good.

But Xiyang is an exception. There are many merchants in the city, many residences, and many scholars studying in the state. People from all walks of life have a high demand for information. Therefore, this newspaper that publishes news in Huangzhou and surrounding areas has a good sales after it appears.

After several years of development, this newspaper has gradually become more famous, and some businesses are willing to spend money, publish "advertising" in newspapers, or there are weddings and weddings, and they are also advertised through newspapers.

But even so, the newspapers that publish newspapers are still losing money. If it weren't for the big boss of Prince Bin's Mansion who insisted on investing money to "spend life", the newspapers that lost money every year would have gone bankrupt long ago.

The problem is very simple. People's literacy rate is still low. They walk around illiterately and have a shortage of money. They can't even write their names. They will not spend a few cents to buy newspapers and come back to make people read them.

For many people, this is both a waste of money and is useless. Major wineries, restaurants, teahouses and fun places buy newspapers, but they are all for storytellers to read for diners, saving money and cost-effectiveness.

It is still early for newspapers to integrate into the lives of ordinary people.

Even so, Yuwen Wen still had to invest money. The useless clock back then has begun to be widely accepted by people because large-scale handicraft workshops require punctuality, people who talk about business need to be punctual, and rail transportation that undertakes important transportation tasks requires punctuality.

Demand determines the market. If there is no demand, find ways to create demand.

Yuwen Wen firmly believes that one day, newspapers will become popular in big cities such as Chang'an, and in Xiyang, the same will be true, and will contribute to the change of the times.

And now, I have to save him once.

Xiao Jiuniang, who was all focused on Yuwen Wen, just glanced at the newspaper accidentally and was immediately attracted by a terrifying title: Shocked, the exam was released the day before yesterday, and the candidates were actually done by several women!

Xiao Jiuniang really wanted to know what the candidate had "doed" by several women, and her attention was instantly diverted. Yuwen Wen said when he saw this:

"Then you see first? I'm going to do something for my husband."

"Um."

Yuwen Wen used the "newspaper escape" to escape successfully. Xiao Jiuniang took the newspaper and took a closer look. It turned out that after the results were released the day before yesterday, many matchmakers rushed to the election. The unmarried candidates made a matchmaking call, which attracted everyone's discussion and envy.

Xiao Jiuniang was so amused and scolded in her heart: What, who thought of this title? It's too exaggerated!

......

In the dormitory, Yuchi Chifan, who was bellies, was chatting with his sister. Soon, they would move to Xiaohuang, Bozhou, and often stay with Yuwen Wen. They were very happy to think that they could spend time with Yuwen Wen.

Yuwen Wen had been fighting outside before and left home for two years. Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang were like widows in Xiyang. Yuchi Chifan was placed under house arrest in Yecheng, and he was also like widows in Yecheng.

Yuchi Mingyue, who was taken over by her brother-in-law in Woyang, parted with Yuwen Wen within a few days after her "new marriage". The days that followed were like a widow.

Now that the war has subsided, Yuwen Wen is in charge of Henan to handle government affairs. He does not need to fight everywhere, and everyone can be together and talk about family matters.

Yuchi Chifan is about to give birth for several months. It is said that he should not travel a long distance to avoid problems. However, Yuwen Wen did not want the princess to stay alone in Xiyang. He was "lonely and helpless" during childbirth, so he still had to take the princess with him.

It’s just to be careful on the road and don’t be too anxious to rush. Yuchi Chifan is not worried about this, but is worried about another problem.

This problem is a bit tricky to deal with. Seeing his sister's longing expression, Yuchi Chifan's words still didn't say it.

As footsteps started, Yuwen Wen turned into the room. When Yuchi Mingyue saw her brother-in-law/husband coming, her face suddenly turned red, and then lowered her head. Seeing that Yuwen Wen had nothing to do, she went out as if she was running away.

Yuchi Chifan was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and Yuwen Wen found it funny.

Previously, Yuwen Wen rushed from Bozhou to Chang'an to report his work, and left the ecliptic and into the south of the mountain. It was difficult to turn a corner to Huangzhou, but he would stay for several days while passing through Anlu, so his family rushed to Anlu to reunite with him and gathered for a few days.

The enemy was coming in full force, and the commander Yuchi was placing a high-level battle card, so the generals who came to Anlu were the deputy commander Yang, the vanguard Xiao, and of course, the commander of the army supervisor, Xiaoyuchi.

Xiao Yuchi took the "top" position of the coach and took the lead in attacking. He dared to fight alone and practice alone for several months. Yuwen Wen, whose cultivation level had reached the "half-step peak", ended up miserably. His whole body almost fell apart, and his throat became hoarse. He could not get off the bed for a few days.

Yuchi Mingyue felt embarrassed about this, so that she would blush when she saw her husband/brother-in-law.

Yuwen Wen didn't say anything, and helped the princess sit down, touched her bulging belly, and said gently: "In a few months, there will be one more member in the family."

"Um."

Yuchi Chifan responded, and when he saw Yuwen Wen seemed to have something to say, he wanted to say something, but he stopped. He quickly guessed what the other party wanted to say, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Anyway, there is also a sister who is helping...

She thought so, and then said, "Erlang."

"Um?"

"Take them with you too."

"Ah... OK."

Yuwen Wen revealed to the princess about the "two of them" that now he has to agree with the official family and is not too surprised. He holds Yuchi Chifan's hand and feels a little embarrassed.

However, he is always happy because in this way, he will have a "Little Five".
