Chapter 706: This is the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty. It’s very important to grab it openly... (please subscribe and vote)
Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi next to him with a dark look on his face, feeling completely relieved. Brother Chu Bi, please be a human being, okay?
Empress Changsun snorted lightly, quickly raised her hand and coughed twice to cover up her disgrace.
What a headache. I really don’t know when this Cheng Sanlang will say one or two shocking words.
After an unhappy look at Cheng Sanlang, who was serious and talking nonsense, Empress Changsun nodded.
"If that's the case, then just do it, don't let Xiao Sizi suffer..."
"Thank you for your understanding, auntie. Hey... is this auntie's calligraphy work?"
Cheng Chubi was overjoyed and nodded quickly. He glanced sideways and saw the calligraphy works spread out on the table over there. His eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, my mother is teaching me to write. My mother's handwriting is very good, right mother?"
Li Mingda, who had already finished two ice creams, nestled in her mother's arms and said coquettishly.
"You kid, your mouth looks like it's been covered in honey all day long..."
"Brother Chu Bi, we should withdraw... What are you doing?" Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Ke wanted to run away immediately, but he saw Brother Chu Bi actually got up and walked over.
"Your Highness the Princess is indeed right. Auntie, your words are so good and beautiful." Cheng Chubi clicked his tongue, admiring it with gleaming eyes.
Four characters kept flashing in my mind: "Poetry and Calligraphy Heirloom". As the literary and artistic director of the old Cheng family, it was the important task to collect the calligraphy and painting works of famous people in the Tang Dynasty.
But Cheng Sanlang never dared to forget it. Every time he looked at the advantages, he always wanted to take some money home, pass down poems and books to the family, and educate the whole family.
All the rough old men in the family have worked hard to be more literary and artistic, just like now, they saw the calligraphy works of Empress Changsun, who is so famous in history.
Cheng Chubi already wanted to pick up the two words on the desk and run home directly, but he couldn't do it, comrades, this is the Tang Dynasty Palace, and it's very important to grab it openly...
Of course, it is not impossible to take advantage of it. For example, now is an excellent opportunity.
#####
Li Ke finally saw it. He saw Brother Chu Bi taking pictures of his mother and looking at the two calligraphy works with greedy eyes.
I couldn't help but have a dark look on my face. It seemed that Brother Chu Bi was making trouble again. Should I just sit by and watch, or should I continue to watch?
"That aunt, I was thinking that my uncle wrote the name of the plaque for Her Royal Highness the Princess's bookstore.
This time, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to publish a newspaper again. Hehehe, do you think that aunt is..."
Seeing Cheng Chubi's smile that was almost grinning from ear to ear, it took Queen Changsun a long time to realize what was going on.
But the question is, if you ask me to write something, what does it mean when you smile like that?
Seeing Empress Changsun looking at her suspiciously, Cheng Chubi quickly turned his eyes towards Li Mingda.
Li Mingda, who had spent a lot of time with Cheng Chubi, didn't understand what brother Cheng San was thinking.
"Mother, can you just write a message for Xiao Sizi's newspaper?" Li Mingda grabbed the lapel of Queen Changsun's clothes and started acting coquettishly.
Shaking left and right, pouting her little mouth and blinking her big eyes quickly, Empress Changsun pinched her daughter's fleshy little face in an angry and funny way.
"Okay, don't shake it. Mom is almost dizzy. I'll write it for you."
"Well, mother is the best to me..." Li Mingda immediately laughed happily.
Empress Changsun came to the desk and sat down, picked up a pen, dipped it in ink and looked at Cheng Chubi.
"I'll just trouble my aunt to write a few words: Chang'an Xun Bao will definitely get better and better."
"..." Although Queen Changsun didn't understand why those few words were added at the end, she still concentrated on writing these words with her pen tip.
After Cheng Chubi carefully dried it, he rolled it up carefully and left with satisfaction.
"Brother Chu Bi, why do you ask my mother to write so many words? Isn't the four words "Chang'an Xunbao" enough?"
"Haha... I say, dear brother, your mother is the empress of the Tang Dynasty, and she is very precious.
I finally took advantage of the opportunity and didn't let her write more. Wouldn't I be at a loss?"
"Brother Chu Bi, is there something wrong with what you said?" Li Ke looked at Cheng Chubi with a dark look on his face.
"You are not thinking of selling my mother's name, are you?"
"Haha... How is it possible? Would I do such a shameless thing?" Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes at Li Ke unhappily.
"As a brother, I naturally have to carefully collect your mother's works so that I can appreciate them often in the future.
Feel the literary and artistic sentiments of this legendary woman from the Tang Dynasty... Hey, dear brother, why are you leaving so fast?"
Li Ke walked forward quickly with a black look on his face. He really didn't want to talk to this guy. He was worthy of being a member of the Cheng family. He was like a wild goose pulling out his hair.
After the two of them left the palace, it was time for dinner, so they found a nearby wine shop and went in to eat and drink while discussing what to do with the first issue of the newspaper.
What Li Ke meant was to directly excerpt the excellent articles and poems from the previous imperial examinations.
Cheng Chubi disagreed, because he had not yet had time to collect many of the excellent articles and poems about Juzi.
If you want to wait for those things, I'm afraid you will have to spend at least ten days. Wouldn't that delay your plan to make money?
After hearing Brother Chu Bi's explanation, Li Ke agreed in principle with Brother Chu Bi's opinion. Seeing Brother Chu Bi's confident face, Li Ke couldn't help but say.
"Brother Chu Bi, what do you mean by this first issue of Chang'an Xunbao?"
"Don't forget, it's only been a while since I returned to Chang'an with your prince brother Li. Since it hasn't been that long, the enthusiasm is still there, that's why."
"Then let's just take advantage of this popularity and then mention it again, what content will be included in our Chang'an Xunbao in the future, and we will take advantage of the trend to advertise for ourselves..."
After hearing these words, Li Ke had to be convinced and raised his thumb towards Cheng Chubi.
"Brother, you are still the best. Regardless of whether you are making a fool of yourself or trying to twist your ideas, you are always the best."
After hearing this, Cheng Chubi was certainly not happy.
"I asked you, dear brother, what are you talking about? Such a serious idea makes you sound so unserious. Three drinks as a penalty..."
A delinquent prince and a vulgar civil servant with a martial arts background were drinking and eating meat while stabbing each other in every possible way.
After eating and drinking, and roughly drafting the contents of the first issue of the Chang'an Xunbao, the two brothers rode out of the city and headed towards the Jinyang Bookstore.
I found an old craftsman and asked him to take the calligraphy work of Queen Changsun and rub out the four characters "Chang'an Xun Bao".
Cheng Chubi quickly and carefully collected the work of art, then called the manager and started planning the content of the first issue of the Chang'an Xunbao.
