Chapter 168 Little Inventor Month

Xiao Suqin didn't stay for long, and chatted with Liu Mingqi for a while before leaving.

Waiting for a few days will be the first performance of "Battle of Liang". She is so busy that she wishes she can be used by one person as two.

Not only are I busy rehearsing, but I also have great interference outside the play.

Any bookmark on the title page of the book is sold in the Prince Yu Mansion Bookstore, which says that on the night of the first day of October, the "Liang Zhu" will be staged for the first time in the Fairy Tower, one of the most famous theaters in the capital.

Therefore, in the past few days, people are eagerly pursuing the seat tickets for fairy building.

Anyone who thinks he has some tricks will directly find the owner of the fairy building to get a ticket.

But I didn’t have any tickets to pass Xianlou, and all the tickets were controlled by Xiao Suqin. They just signed ten consecutive performance agreements, which were the nature of Xiao Suqin’s booking.

There was such a way of cooperation before. Another way was to directly hire these opera troupes to perform, give them a fixed reward, and then the opera stakes will bear the profits and losses.

Usually, those who are capable and famous are to take charge of performances by themselves, or cooperate with theaters to get the initiative.

Those who are worse have to rely on the fame of the theater to make a living, and naturally the biggest advantage is that the theater gets it.

The ticket prices of theaters are also of particular concern.

It’s cheaper, a chair and a cup of tea, and a seat from a distance, the price is only two or three cents of silver.

A little more expensive is to book a VIP seat close to the stage. In modern terms, it is VIP box nature, plus dried fruits, tea, etc., which is no problem.

If it is a opera by the Nine Immortals, it is not uncommon for a VIP seat to be fifty taels. The one with the best position is also a sky-high price of 100 taels.

Xiao Suqin didn't hide it, so she took out the ticket early and could buy it if she had money.

The first show of "Battle of Liang" now seems crazy and sought after. The cheapest and most remote locations are five taels per person, and the most expensive ten tables in the front are still a hundred taels, but it is still hard to get a ticket.

Only by passing through the fairy building can you sit for more than 300 people. How can those officials, noble ladies, and rich friends snatch?

So Xiao Suqin had to take the opera troupe to hide in another place for the final rehearsal, for fear that they would be found, so she blocked the door and asked for tickets, which would affect her rehearsal.

...

When she left, Liu Mingqi remembered what had happened just now and shook her head and smiled unconsciously.

Regarding Liu Mingqi was just thinking about a storybook that didn’t even have a photo of the heroine, which was really not good enough.

In addition, Boss Su is already very beautiful. Although she is not as charming as Miss Qiu Xiang, she is definitely the one who can choose from.

Such a portrait of a beautiful woman is placed on the last page, so that people who see the tragic love story and the beautiful and moving Zhu Yingtai will naturally inevitably have a lot of thoughts in their hearts, which will have a deeper impact on the story.

More importantly, before the drama "Brother Zhu" began to perform on stage, people already had the impression of Zhu Yingtai in their hearts. No one else was authentic, so they would not have the natural feeling of being substituted.

This is another form of anti-counterfeiting.

In order to carve the wooden boards of Su Boss Su, Liu Mingqi sat down and started drawing sketches while Xiao Suqin and Qian Ying were rehearsing the show.

He is not a student in the art category, but he has a strong observation ability since childhood. He has also learned sketching because of the need to draw a lot of artwork in physics. It is not difficult to draw her avatar.

Like the ancient times of another time and space, the Dakang Dynasty did not develop the direction of oil paintings and sketches, but developed into abstraction, landscapes, and gods, so naturally it was not realistic.

So the first sketch in the world appeared.

When Xiao Suqin got the sample and saw the last page of his avatar of Yichen and Yixi, the thousands of emotions that had emerged from reading the book suddenly turned into deep affection for Liu Mingqi, and she couldn't even get rid of it.

She thought that this was Liu Mingqi borrowing this book and this picture to express her love for herself.

This is why Boss Su dared to sue Miao Yan in the territory of Miao Yan.

In fact, the boy didn't think so much, he was just doing business planning and publicity.

The reason why the authentic version of "Liang Zhu" sells so well is that the fine portrait of Boss Su on the last page is also part of the factors - other counterfeit and shoddy books are not portrayed so seriously. The rough prints can only make the portrait blurred and lose its beauty.

However, it is also a coincidence of misunderstandings, at least the thoughts of this couple have made the couple public, and they are not as hard to open their love in their hearts as before.

Speaking of which, Liu Mingqi is also a verbal prince. When she first came to this era, she swears to open a harem and marry ten or eight immortal wives, but it has been almost half a year, but she has not taken any action.

Even if she met Miss Qiu Xiang who looked very much like Ah, Liu Mingqi never thought of chasing her with various means.

From this, it is definitely not without reason that Liu Mingqi became a senior single dog in her previous life.

...

The senior single dog just shook Xiao Suqin's incident and threw it behind his mind in a blink of an eye.

He stubbornly believed that he should have married his wife until he was eighteen years old, and he had consumed his yang energy before, which was not conducive to his happy life in the future.

Besides, I still have a lot of things to do now. The first thing is to get rid of the dead end, and the various businesses at home are not on the right track.

Only after finishing all this can you have time to think about something else.

Liu Mingqi then rode out of the imperial city on her horse and arrived at the Prince Yu Mansion Workshop next to the Xiuyiwei Yamen.

Chi San was busy at this time. When he heard that Liu Mingqi was coming, he quickly came out.

"Do you know who made the paper for our "Liang Zhu" essay book?" Liu Mingqi asked as she walked.

"It was a young man named Tang Erhu in the papermaking workshop. He figured it out by himself." Chi San said, "After he made this kind of paper, I saw it, I thought it was okay, so I started to print it... Didn't you be in a lawsuit in those days? I didn't tell you for the time being, and then I forgot about it again after getting busy."

"This shouldn't be." Liu Mingqi criticized, "Any invention is not a trivial matter. If I lose a genius of invention because of your negligence, it is the loss of our Prince Yu's Mansion."

"Yes, I was wrong." Chi San quickly lowered his head.

"Just knowing that you are wrong, you'll deduct 1,000 taels of silver this month!" Liu Mingqi said.

Chi San opened his eyes wide: "Oh my God, Your Highness, one thousand taels? You might as well kill me!"

"It's good to kill it." Liu Mingqi nodded, "I originally planned to let you marry Xiaoxuan in two years. Now it seems that she can find a better beloved person."

Xiaoxuan is also a maid in the mansion. She grew up with Chi San and is a childhood sweetheart. She is also a girl that Chi San likes very much.

Hearing this, Chi San couldn't help but beg for mercy: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, what you say is counted."

He said so, but his face still showed a look of flesh pain.

One thousand taels of silver, if you go back and talk to your parents, you will definitely be beaten to death!

Fortunately, I saved my private money every month, and I wouldn’t be suspicious if I made up for the missing part.

Liu Mingqi doesn't care about this guy's pain.

As the workshop manager of the same level as Hotan Rong, Chi San should be able to get 3,000 taels of silver this month. Deducting 1,000 taels will not have much impact on him, which is to let him have a memory.

The boy waved, "Now call Tang Erhu."

"yes!"

Chi San nodded and soon brought back a young man who was even thinner than him.

Liu Mingqi was stunned for a moment and looked at Chi San: "Is he ours?"

Chi San gave a positive answer, "His father followed the second housekeeper and his mother cleaned the house, and they were all his own people."

I think so.

Although the staff in each workshop are very tight now, and even many guards and middle-aged women in the family are stuffed in, there is still no outsider to help.

Not only the three of King Yu's family, everyone was worried that if they recruit outsiders and leaked these secrets, others would copy them on a large scale, and the good days of King Yu's mansion would disappear in a blink of an eye.

After tasting the days when I was a big bun, no one wanted to live the kind of well-off life he used to be.

"Erhu, how old are you?" Liu Mingqi couldn't help asking, "Is it past the fourteenth?"

Tang Erhu scratched his head, "Your Highness, I am thirteen this year."

"Why did you come here at the age of thirteen?" The boy was a little dissatisfied. Isn't this hiring child labor?

"The mansion is short of staff, and I come here to help with some chores and don't do heavy work." Tang Erhu is very smart and will change the topic. "Your Highness, are you here to ask me about the printing paper I made?"

"right."

Liu Mingqi was indeed distracted, "Tell me, how did it do it?"

Tang Erhu said: "I know that several types of wood pulp are matched in a certain proportion, so I thought that since mixed pulp can be matched with soft ones, it will definitely be matched with hard ones.

So when I was free, I took the pulp and started to match it. After doing hundreds of experiments, I got this kind of printing paper.

It just so happened that Uncle Sun Si wanted to do woodblock printing? I wanted to see if my paper was qualified, so I took it over and asked him to try it out, and the result was unexpectedly good."

As the saying goes, experiments lead to true knowledge.

Physics and chemistry are not like mathematics. Mathematics can start calculating by sitting at a table and holding a pen and paper.

When doing physics and chemistry, you have to do something by hand to make the finished product.

Tang Erhu was good at observation and had the conditions for experimentation. With such bold practice, he got the results he wanted.

It is amazing to have ideas, be able to do things, and be able to persevere until the results come out.

Liu Mingqi pondered and said, "You have experimented so much, and you only made such a new paper?"

Tang Erhu replied embarrassedly, "This one is the most successful, and the other ones are a bit unsatisfactory, as if they are not very useful."

"No, no, no, there's never something to be done in vain." Liu Mingqi was interested, "Take those kinds of papers over and I'll take a look!"
