Fragrance Returned

The emperor of Korea was frightened when it happened that Li colluded with the rebels of Korea and the Japanese pirates to cause trouble in Da Li Palace.

The Kingdom of Koryo not only quickly wiped out the rebels, but also sent ministers to Dali to apologize and brought many tributes. At the same time, it also sent the emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Li Zhenji, to come and marry.

Li Zhenji had just turned fifteen. She was petite and soft, and she just followed a bad old man in his fifties.

Li Zhenji is not like Mrs. Dong. Mrs. Dong has learned Da Li Mandarin and etiquette from her sister since she was a child.

She had been pampered since she was a child, and even she and her father, the emperor, mother and concubines never thought that she would get married. She doesn't speak the Dali dialect and is particularly scared when facing the old emperor and unfamiliar surroundings, making people feel like a rabbit.

I heard that the emperor favored this timid and simple little wife and favored her several times.

Seeing that she was afraid of the heat, the emperor had the idea of ​​going to Liuqing Garden to escape the summer heat.

Both the emperor and the queen wanted Xunxiang to go, but Xunxiang was too busy to go.

Xunxiang didn't live in Xun's Mansion either. Xun's Mansion was too far away from Sipin Study Room and printing workshop.

She lives in Dongyang Princess Mansion, which is close to both places.

Ding Zhen will get married in less than a month, so it's hard to let her live out.

If Xun Yibo is not at home, Tao Jing will stay with her at the princess mansion, and occasionally Xue Tian will come.

Originally, she wanted Mi Honglan to come, but the Queen Mother had given marriage to Xun Yibo and Miss Mi a few days ago, so it was difficult for her to come to live at her fiancé's house.

At first, only the marriage was granted, and many matters had to wait until Princess Dongyang returned home.

Tao Jing was very good at painting, so Xun Xiang took a back door and asked her to draw ten simple illustrations in the book "Havoc in Heaven".

The color cover is still painted by Xun Xiang.

Little girl Tao was very happy. Her grandfather said that this book was not an ordinary fairy tale. It had extremely rich imagination and was only slightly worse than "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". It would definitely be passed down.

Then wouldn’t he also be able to “be famous for eternity”?

The little girl was extremely beautiful and very serious. She would ask Xunxiang and her grandfather for their opinions on every picture. She also gave herself a nickname, layman Wenyuan.

Mrs. Tao was so happy that she even recovered from her illness. She said with a smile, "Our family has another talented woman who will be famous throughout the ages..."

In addition to Sun Yumu, Xun Yibo, and Ding Liren, Xunxiang had another assistant in writing and painting.

At the end of May, a large poster of the new book was hung at the door of the study. The Sun Wukong on the poster was painted by Xun Xiang. It is both a poster and a painting, and it is also stamped with the seal of Dongshe layman.

The poster is based on the image of Sun Wukong from the previous animated film "Havoc in Heaven".

Many royal relatives came to make an agreement with Xun Xiang. As soon as the poster was taken down, he would sell it to them. Some of them offered one thousand taels of silver, some offered two thousand taels of silver, and the highest offered was three thousand taels.

Xunxiang has reached an agreement with Duke Lu and sold the painting to him for the cheapest price of one thousand taels of silver.

Because of Ding Zhuang's bad mouth, although Sun Lao Houye mediated in the middle and Lu Guogong also accepted the mediation, he still had a lot of criticism towards the Ding family.

After getting Xunxiang's promise, the Lu family was not angry at all.

Zhang Shangshu's eldest granddaughter is named Zhang Ziyan, who is fifteen years old and is one of the "Four Beauties" in the capital. Not only is she fair and beautiful, she is also very talented.

I wasn't familiar with Xun Xiang before. After hearing Ding Zhuang's words, I was so angry that I cried for several days.

Xunxiang asked someone to send her a letter. The letter said that Xunxiang would compile another book specifically collecting the works of female poets, called "Feihua Ling", and each poem would be accompanied by a picture of a female painter. .

The form is somewhat similar to the published "Le Poetry and Painting Book".

Except for three famous female poets, the quality of other people's poems is not very high.

Xun Xiang put some new thought into it. Not only was the title of the book unique, but the paper quality was also very good. It used the best cyan paper of this era. The background color was light porcelain blue, shiny, and very luxurious.

This kind of book costs a lot and may not necessarily make money. It can be regarded as Xunxiang's contribution to this historical female poet and painter.

After finishing "Havoc in Heaven", I started working on this book.

Xunxiang admired one of Zhang Ziyan's poems very much and asked her if she would like the poem to be included in "Feihua Ling".

Zhang Ziyan was so willing that she immediately took a car to the Princess Mansion to find Xunxiang.

Zhang Shangshu's family was extremely happy. The old accounts with the Ding family were wiped out, and Xun Xiang had another like-minded friend.

On the second day of June, the new book "Havoc in Heaven" was officially launched in Sipin Study Room.

Xunxiang, Tao Jing, Mi Honglan, Xue Tian, ​​and Zhang Ziyan came to the backyard of the study first, and they all bought four books each.

Xunxiang left ten copies to give to relatives.

Tao Jing's face turned red with excitement, fearing that her poor painting skills would affect the sales of her book.

Several little girls praised her, but she was still nervous.

The book was snapped up as soon as it was released, and it was reprinted again and again.

Then I heard that the book was written by the little girl Princess Xiangxiang, a layman from Dongshe, and that the illustrations in the book were drawn by layman Wenyuan, granddaughter of Tao Weng, and I was even more complimented.

The opera singers moved to the stage, and the storytellers moved to the teahouse.

The makeup of the actor who plays Sun Wukong was designed based on that poster.

There are also many literati who write various stories about the fight between Sun Wukong and the gods in the sky according to their own ideas.

Xun Xiang secretly had fun, and at this time "fan fiction" appeared. Although they have rich imagination, they are still worse than the previous "Journey to the West".

Of course, this is a story for another day.

Many businessmen from other places bought the books back to their hometowns to print and sell them.

Two brothers, Guo Wen and Guo Wu, lived in Luochuan County, southern Hebei Province, and opened an antique shop and a study.

There are very few real antiques in the antique shop, most of them sell porcelain, and the business is not as good as the study.

Guo Wen was particularly optimistic about Xun Xiang's books and left a servant in the capital specifically to buy Xun Xiang's books as soon as possible. He took it to a printing workshop and printed it, then sold it in his study, and the sales were very good.

Luochuan County is very close to the provincial capital Luoyang City, and the small county town is also relatively prosperous.

They live in a three-in house.

Guo Wu, who was not married, lived in the first courtyard, Guo Wen and his wife lived in the second courtyard, and Guo Lan lived in the back room.

On the tenth day of June, Guo Wen's servants handed two volumes of "Havoc in Heaven" to Guo Wen.

After reading it, Guo Wen was very excited and thought it was a great business opportunity.

He said to Guo Wu, "Xun Xiang is a genius. This skill is suitable for all ages and can be appreciated by both refined and popular people. The printing workshop in Luochuan County is too inferior, and the cover painting will definitely not be able to print at this level. Let them print, and it will be a waste of natural resources."

"I will go to Luoyang immediately to print this book. If the Luoyang merchants haven't started printing yet, we will print a lot of them and not only sell them to Luoyang study, but also take them back to our study to sell."

Guo Wu listened to his elder brother's words very much and said happily, "Brother, go ahead. I will take good care of the shop and take good care of my sister-in-law and sister."

Guo Wendao said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. You have to take good care of your sister."

Guo Wu said, "My sister is much more honest now."

Guo Wen snorted, "My sister has a lot of thoughts. Who knows whether she is really honest or pretending to be honest? You can't take it lightly. Also, she is not allowed to discuss piano with men in private. If we really want to discuss it, you must stay aside."
