Back to Ancient Times to Make Pen Pals

Going back to Zhuozhuo Bookstore in a happy mood, Zhu Yuan first avoided the serious situation and talked to Zhang Jingshu. After calming her, he returned to his office and started thinking.

With the names of Emperor Chengjia and Xie Zheng on the front, Concubine Shu seems to be really unable to do anything except beep on her lips...

No wonder Xie Zheng said she was not a problem.

Although he has a high status, he is trapped in the palace, but he is not free at all. Other than being respected by others, there is nothing else...

This is the day of the imperial concubine.

Both pathetic and pathetic.

Seeing Concubine Shu is like seeing her own future.

As soon as I entered the court, it was as deep as the sea...Look at her mother. After coming to Zhuzhuo Study to go to work, she was very motivated every day. Compared with the leisure of only teasing her baby and reading a book, the whole person is different.

Thinking about this, Zhu Yuan now hopes that Xie Zheng, who is doing practical work, can rise to a high position, but is also worried that she will not be free after the matter is done. After ten or eight years, will she become no different from Concubine Shu?

Hey, it's still too free.

But Concubine Fan Shu has a job, and she doesn't want to think about things like this, and she is still struggling with her son-

Well?

Zhu Yuan touched her chin. It seems that it is not impossible?

Acting as she thought of it, she got up immediately, went out to the outside office to find the editor, and asked her to write a simple and clear draft selection criteria.

...

Concubine Shu was still depressed. When she turned her head, she received a message from Xie Zheng's person saying that she would like to see you.

I saw you yesterday, so please see you today?

Thinking of Zhu Yuan's unintelligible words, she has a headache: "No see or see." That girl sincerely blocked her, and she disappeared!

Yuping hurriedly persuaded her: "Manny, maybe there is something wrong with the three girls, why don't you just check it out?"

Yurong, who came in with tea, happened to see Concubine Shu frowning. He looked at her expression carefully, and said worriedly: "Manny, where are you uncomfortable?"

Concubine Shu paused and waved her hand: "Nothing." She sighed, "All right, then let her come in and see what she wants to do."

"Yes!"

So, one day later, Zhu Yuan, holding a wooden board, came to Zhaochun Palace again.

After the salute, Zhu Yuan first cared a bit: "Is your mother better today?" After all, she said she had a headache yesterday.

Concubine Shu smiled: "Xu Ye didn't take a break two days ago. I took a rest early last night. Today is much better."

"That's good." Zhu Yuan seemed to heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, the empress is in good health, otherwise the folk girls would not dare to speak today."

Concubine Shu subconsciously glanced at the wooden plank she had placed beside her, and asked, "What's the matter?" After asking, she immediately regretted the pile of vocabulary that she didn't understand.

Naturally, Zhu Yuan didn't know what she was thinking, and turned over the wooden board at hand, revealing a stack of paper attached to it. She put the paper facing up, holding it in her hands and handing it forward.

Yuping looked at Concubine Shu, and only came to pick it up after she had given her permission. After a quick glance, she was a little surprised, then put her expression away in a moment, and presented it to Concubine Shu respectfully.

Zhu Yuan had been staring at her, naturally watching the change in that moment.

She always felt that something was wrong with this person. But they didn’t say anything and did nothing...

Is it a woman's sixth sense? She secretly thought.

Concubine Shu didn't notice, she lowered her head and began to look around.

She looked at the plank first.

It is square and polished to be bright and smooth, except for that, there is no half-cut engraving. Only a little iron sheet was buckled on the upper end, and a wad of paper was pressed on top of the sheet, and it turned out to be steady.

There is a template pad, and the paper is flat.

It is light.

Concubine Shu nodded secretly, and then focused on the paper——

Liu eyebrows wrinkled as she watched.

After roughly turning two pages, she put it down and asked, "What does this mean?"

Zhu Yuan explained: "This is the solicitation requirement for "Zhuzhuo". The solicitation requirements for each column have detailed rules, including requirements for wording and sentence formation, number of characters, content direction, etc., and some columns have specific formats."

Concubine Shu frowned: "I know this is a request for papers, what do you do to me?"

Zhu Yuan scratched her cheeks embarrassedly, and said with a shy face: "Last time I read the manuscript of the empress, I feel that the empress has only known people and learned a lot... Talents must be outstanding—"

Concubine Shu was uncomfortable, and hummed softly, "That's not necessarily true."

If Zhu Yuan hadn’t heard of it, he went on to say: "Scorching" has just started now, and its reputation has not yet been hit. There is no way to find a large number of manuscripts that are needed every month...The girl thought of you."

Concubine Shu's heart moved: "What do you mean?"

"Eh," Zhu Yuan smiled shyly, "Minnyu wants to ask the lady to help collect some manuscripts, no matter who it is, from concubines to concubine ladies, as long as they have ideas and content, they can submit articles. On the 10th of each month Send it to "Shining" for final screening."

Concubine Shu: ...Is this to instruct her to work?

Seeing her look a little weird, Zhu Yuan hurriedly added: "Don't dare to let the empress be busy, the Minnv will pay you five or two months' salary on a monthly basis according to the management example of the Zhuozhuo Bookstore!"

She also added an accent on the word "five liang" to indicate that it is not fifty liang, nor five hundred liang, but five liang, not more than one point.

Concubine Shu: ...... Is she short of the fifty taels of silver?

But somehow, she turned out to be... quite emotional.

Seeing that she did not say anything, Zhu Yuan was secretly happy, and then pointed her: "When you look back, you can put a small opened box outside Zhaochun Palace and lock it. Contributors only need to put the manuscript in and take it without the key. If it doesn’t come out, then no one knows who submitted it. Adding that the manuscript only uses a pen name or font size, it will be much fairer to review."

It is so. Concubine Shu was surprised: "Does the outside also receive articles like this?"

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Liao Zhai has been receiving manuscripts like this. There are now two large boxes outside the door of Zhuozhuo Bookstore."

Concubine Shu was in a daze for a moment, and then sighed: "I haven't been out of the palace for many years... I really want to see the beautiful and elegant Liao Zhai and flat concrete avenues in others' mouths..."

Zhu Yuan was stunned, and couldn't help but soften a bit.

"Okay, I will take care of it. I will give you a draft on the tenth of every month, right?"

Zhu Yuan was overjoyed and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes."

Concubine Shu frowned: "Then there are not a few days left...Okay, you can go back and work on it, there is nothing wrong with you. The manuscript from this palace is handed to me.

"Yes!" Zhu Yuan hurriedly got up and resigned.

Concubine Shu waved her hand and was about to look down at the rules. Thinking of something, she immediately raised her head and asked, "What day of the month is the monthly payment?"

Zhu Yuan who had just retreated to the door: "...The last day of the month."

"Oh, I'll let someone get it then."

"……Yes."

***

After finding something for Concubine Shu, I wish Yuan returned to the Burning Bookstore in comfort.

Everyone else was busy, she stretched her waist, slowly spreading paper and ink, planning to write the rules of the kindergarten.

Xie Zheng came out in due course: [Yuanyuan]

Zhu Yuan stopped and watched the ink characters emerge one by one, and couldn't help saying: [Don't you think there are too many strokes in the word "Yuan"? 】

Xie Zheng:...

[What's the problem? 】

Zhuyuan Tucao: [Writing and chatting are slow enough, you still have to spend a long time writing a name, you are not tired~]

[The gift cannot be abandoned]

Zhu Yuan tusk: [I didn’t say whether to write a name, I just want to say, you can draw two circles in the future, the representative calls me]

Xie Zheng's epiphany: [OO? 】

I wish round points like: [Yes, smart! ] After that, I asked him, [Is something wrong with me? 】

【nothing】

Zhu Yuan understands. This is to chat? She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: [Just to report a news to you today]

【? 】

[Zuozhuoshuwu added a new manager today, with a monthly salary of five taels, responsible for receiving and reviewing manuscripts]

Xie Zheng didn’t care, and wrote casually: [Congratulations]

[The monthly salary is not low, right? 】

[Not low] The steward in Liao Zhai is also a monthly salary of 50 taels, but there are other bonuses and benefits.

Having chatted with Zhu Yuan for many years, Xie Zheng will occasionally follow her topic and take the initiative to answer, [How is this person's knowledge? 】Since it is a reviewer, it must be good.

[Then I have to ask you]

【? 】

[Your mother’s knowledge, you know better than me]

Xie Zheng frowned: [Mention her work -] Before "Zhen" was finished, he reacted. He was shocked, [This steward, is the mother concubine? 】

[Congratulations, you got it right]

Xie Zheng:...

Zhu Yuan is triumphant: [Thank me quickly! I will solve employment for your mother, and she will be able to make money on her own in the future! 】

Xie Zheng:...

Zhu Yuan added another sentence: [Say it first, I have no favor here. If she does not do well, I will deduct her performance! Deduct her monthly salary! 】Hey Maya, I feel refreshed when I think of the KPI that can be deducted from Consort Shu!

Xie Zheng:...

The wife is the boss, and the mother-in-law is the manager of the salary? ? Or the mother-in-law in the harem? ?

He must have not slept well yesterday.

He has to lie down first.
