Hearing this, Du He smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this!"
As he said this, he waved his hand and Lao Fu hurriedly brought up two books of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
Seeing this, Li Lizhi took it, opened it carefully, and said in surprise: "These two books are so beautiful!"
When Li Yuanshu saw it, she also admired: "Du He, your two "Romances of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" seem to be very special. Why are the covers so hard? The colors also look very pure. You must have spent a lot of money!"
The old man hurriedly said: "Your Highnesses, you cannot buy this with money. Our young master made it himself. There are only these two copies in the world. They are specially given to the two princesses."
Du He patted Lao Fu on the shoulder and thought to himself, this old boy's ability to flatter him is almost one percent as good as his own.
These two books were indeed produced by Du He in his spare time these days.
His idea was to imitate the so-called hardcover books of later generations, and the effect was indeed extraordinary. It looked like a work of art, not a simple book.
Li Lizhi and Li Yuanshu couldn't put it down when they held it in their hands.
When Du He saw this, he thought to himself that he had taken the right step in his long march of thousands of miles.
If you want to marry Princess Runan and Princess Changle at the same time, the first step is to capture the hearts of these two beauties.
As for the second step, Du He hasn't decided yet.
Immediately, Du He proposed to send Li Yuanshu and Li Lizhi back, but Li Yuanshu refused. The reason was that Du He was too conspicuous now, and going with him would attract a lot of rumors.
Du He: "...mmp!"
Being famous also has its troubles.
…
In the evening of that day, Wang Zhengsheng moved from Cuiwei Building to the furniture factory.
Even though it was a separate room, the conditions were very simple, but Wang Zhengsheng didn't mind it. He only wanted to talk about "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
But with Du He's pearls in front of him, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to tell the truth.
Therefore, even though he knew the story of Chapter 18 by heart, he did not dare to speak.
I had no choice but to ask Du He for help.
Du He was enjoying the cool air in the yard. When he heard Wang Zhengsheng's confusion, he immediately became happy.
He comforted: "It's okay. I know I'm nervous, so there's still hope. You can't do this. You're going to be on stage tomorrow. If you can't say a word, you'll be kicked off the stage. Then you, Wang Zhengsheng, can't stand it in Chang'an City."
The reputation I have accumulated can be ruined."
Wang Zhengsheng sighed: "Of course I understand this truth, but I can't say it. If the effect of the storyteller tomorrow is not good, wouldn't it mean that the young master's good intentions will be betrayed?"
After entering the Tang Dynasty Study Room, Wang Zhengsheng also changed his name to Du He as Young Master.
Du He tapped the table with his finger and suddenly called Old Fu over: "Old Fu, go and gather all the workers in the furniture factory in the yard and let everyone rest. Stop working now and come and listen to the bamboo story."
Wang Zhengsheng looked at Du He in surprise.
Du He said nonchalantly: "In that case, you can practice with these guys first. If they all agree, then you will succeed."
Wang Zhengsheng stood up excitedly: "Thank you, Master. Zhengsheng will definitely not let you down."
"Go, go, let's live up to it, it's so disgusting to say, I'm warning you again, I'm not as good as Long Yang!"
Wang Zhengsheng ran away happily.
After a while, the old man came back and reported that all the workers had gathered in the yard.
Du He then said: "Go ahead and everyone will applaud me later. If anyone doesn't applaud me, tomorrow's wages will be halved."
The old man's eyes widened and he asked: "Master, why is this?"
Du He waved his hand and explained: "Zhu doesn't have confidence in himself, so let me give him some confidence. It would be a waste not to cultivate such a good talent."
The old man suddenly realized it and raised his thumb: "Young Master, you are so clever!"
Sure enough, under Du He's "arrangement", after listening to Wang Zhengsheng's talk about "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", there was nothing bad to say about it.
Especially Yan Wentian's master Dazhu, whose loud cheering voice could be heard in the Laiguo Duke's Mansion next door.
Even the servants in the house who had nothing to do for the time being were called over by the old master to support him.
Wang Zhengsheng only said it for the first time, and the effect was extremely good.
This was something he didn't expect, so he suddenly became more confident than he was previously depressed.
…
Early the next morning, Wang Zhengsheng went to Cuiwei Tower alone to tell stories.
Du He got up early in the morning to prepare for the establishment of Datang Study House.
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo made a special trip to help.
The workers in the furniture factory all stopped what they were doing and started to help.
Lao Fu directed several craftsmen to raise a plaque covered with silk to the bottom of the original Datang Furniture Factory.
Wang Erniu and others were busy and moved a few shelves at the door. I don't know what was piled on them. They were placed high and looked very spectacular.
By the time Du He walked out of the door, everything was ready.
No one came to congratulate me, but it felt very lively. There were more than forty workers in the furniture factory alone, so naturally it didn't feel deserted.
Cheng Chumo said: "Brother, quickly remove the silk on this door plaque!"
Du He smiled and said: "No hurry, Lu Bu, let's set off firecrackers!"
firecracker?
Everyone looked confused.
What is this damn thing?
I saw Lu Bu walking up, carrying a linen bag, opening the bag, and carefully taking out a hanging object of rough workmanship. There was a rope in the middle, and there were black things about the size of a thumb on both sides. I don't know what they were.
.
Lu Bu walked to the door, placed it on the ground, then took out a fire stick and lit it.
Whisper quickly.
The fuse burned rapidly.
Snapped.
Bang bang bang.
Bang bang bang bang...
The movement was not big, but no one had seen this thing before. In an instant, everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some of the timid ones were even ready to run away.
It's a pity that the firecrackers exploded for too short a time, and at least a dozen of them didn't explode.
This is a firecracker that Du He spent almost five days personally making. It was not to show off, but just to test whether it could be successful.
He also knew that once this thing was discovered, it might cause a lot of trouble. However, in the Tang Dynasty, besides Li Er, who was Du He afraid of?
It turns out that it was barely successful.
He watched the smoke dissipate and saw the confetti on the floor, and said calmly: "The first firecracker in the Tang Dynasty has officially exploded!"
There is some joy in my heart, but I can't find anyone to tell and share it with.
Invincible loneliness!
Swish.
The silk was removed.
Under the plaque on the door of Datang Furniture Factory, there are several big characters with shining golden light: Datang Study.
Everyone was confused again.
Who has ever seen a door with two plaques hanging on it?
Du He was definitely the first to do this.
However, everyone has long been accustomed to this.
Wang Erniu and others pulled apart the things piled high at the door, and immediately, more than a thousand printed and bound volumes of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" were displayed in front of everyone.
Cheng Chumo's eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth was so wide that he could fit two goose eggs in: "Oh my god, I've never seen so many books!"
