Chapter 69 I have a gift for you
"..."
Sikong Yan was stunned at first.
When he realized what she meant, he couldn't help laughing on the spot.
What on earth is in his beloved concubine's head, how can she say love words so-
fresh and unconventional!
Shen Chaoyan looked at the happy smile from the heart on the man's face, and laughed along, "What your concubine said is from the bottom of my heart."
Sikong Yan nodded, with a smile on his face, "Okay, then you say a few more words, I love to hear them."
It turns out that men also like sweet words!
However, how can you satisfy him so easily?
Men still have to be kept in suspense.
This is the 'playing hard to get' taught in the art of war.
So, Shen Chaoyan winked at him, "Your Majesty, if you say this love words casually, it would be too insincere."
Sikong Yan cooperated with her and nodded, "Yes, next time my beloved concubine is sincere, tell me again."
"Okay!" Shen Chaoyan agreed readily.
The two chatted casually, and Sikong Yan suddenly remembered something, "I have a gift for you."
As he said that, he reached out from his arms and took out a neatly folded piece of rice paper and handed it to her.
I don't know what material this rice paper is made of, it is much thicker than ordinary rice paper.
Shen Chaoyan opened the rice paper in confusion. When she saw the contents on the paper clearly, her eyes widened in disbelief, "This is...a newspaper!"
Shen Chaoyan had written a manuscript before, and asked Shen Linfeng to try to print one to see the effect.
Unexpectedly, the woodblock engraver made a mistake in the engraving.
When the newspaper was delivered to Shen Chaoyan, Shen Chaoyan read it several times before she found the wrong word.
At that time, not only was the set of plates scrapped, but even the printed newspapers could not be sold as scheduled.
Her confidence in making newspapers was hit.
Shen Chaoyan never expected that Sikong Yan would use her previous draft to print a newspaper with clearer handwriting and thicker paper than the one in her hand.
Sikong Xian glanced at her surprised expression and asked with a smile, "Do you like it?"
Of course I like it!
Just to print this newspaper, it would take a skilled woodblock carver a long time to carve out all the content on the newspaper.
Not only is the thought valuable, but this newspaper is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive. I'm afraid it can be called the most expensive newspaper in the world.
"I like it so much, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Chaoyan folded the newspaper carefully and put it away.
Now seeing the newspaper made by Sikong Xian, she couldn't help but sigh. He is worthy of being the king of a country. His ability to make money is really amazing.
The Great Xia Dynasty is still in the era of woodblock printing. It is not easy to carve a newspaper plate full of densely written words, but he only printed one newspaper.
To make the concubine smile, the tyrant is really generous.
Shen Chaoyan was thinking while walking forward. She accidentally stepped on something and sprained her ankle.
"Be careful!"
Sikong Yan grabbed her and looked down at her feet. "How is it? Are you hurt?"
Shen Chaoyan shook her head and followed his line of sight to look at her feet.
When she saw the yellow-brown soil under her feet, her eyes suddenly lit up.
When she was in college, she took a pottery class and recognized at a glance that the soil under her feet was clay.
Just now she was still worried that woodblock printing was troublesome, but now seeing the clay, she had a preliminary idea in her mind.
Maybe, she can use the clay to make a mold and try movable type printing.
Compared with woodblock printing, movable type printing saves time, labor and money.
Moreover, the larger the printing volume and the more versions printed, the more the advantages of movable type printing can be reflected.
Shen Chaoyan is a man of action. Once she thinks of something, she will immediately take action. "Your Majesty, can you lend me a few of the people you brought from Yuhua Temple?"
After Sikong Yan knew her inner thoughts, he also became curious about movable type printing. "How many people does my beloved concubine need?"
"Two or three people will be enough. Let them help me dig some clay and bring it back to the palace tomorrow, okay?"
Shen Chaoyan originally thought that Sikong Yan would ask her why she was digging soil, but who knew that this man did not ask anything and readily agreed, "Okay."
So, after Ye Hanqin transferred three soldiers of the Yulin Army, Shen Chaoyan told them to identify the clay, and when they started digging, she continued to walk to the back mountain with Sikong Yan.
By the time they climbed halfway up the mountain, the sun was about to set.
The nasturtiums were in full bloom all over the mountain.
Looking around, there was a large expanse of golden brilliance that seemed to have no end, extending all the way to the horizon.
The magnificent sunset glow in the sky complemented each other, dyeing the entire mountain with brilliant colors. As
the sun set and the evening breeze rose, the nasturtiums swayed gently in the wind, bringing out bursts of elegant fragrance.
Such a scenery is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated, as if they were out of the world and in a dreamlike world.
"It's so beautiful!"
Shen Chaoyan used to either run entertainment news with a camera or browse entertainment news with her mobile phone.
At this moment, she smiled slightly, feeling the charm of nature here for the first time.
There were only two of them on the mountain, it was peaceful and quiet.
If there was a camera, it would be great to take some photos to record the beautiful scenery here.
Shen Chaoyan admired the scenery in front of her, and she was inspired, "After the rain, the mountain forests are getting greener, and the sunset glow is bright and the evening clouds are heavy."
"Your Majesty, does that golden cloud look like a rolling kitten?"
She pointed at the golden clouds in the sky and turned to look at Sikong Yan.
Her sight suddenly collided with the man's deep black eyes.
The moment their sights collided in mid-air, Shen Chaoyan shuddered before she had time to react.
Could this man be staring at her?
What does his look mean?
It was full of aggression and possessiveness, making people's heartbeat quicken for no reason.
When their eyes met, the atmosphere between them became subtle.
Shen Chaoyan's ears were inexplicably hot.
In Sikong Yan's eyes, her slightly flushed cheeks were more beautiful than any other color in the mountains.
Then, Shen Chaoyan felt the man walking towards her step by step.
Sikong Yan said nothing, lifted her chin, lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
Beautiful scenery cannot be neglected, and beautiful women cannot be neglected even more.
He flexibly lifted her lips and teeth, hooked her escaping tongue, and sucked it hard.
Her breathing became more and more disordered, and her mind became more and more confused.
As they kissed, Shen Chaoyan's half-closed eyes were filled with a layer of water light, reflecting the thousands of rays of light in the sky, adding a touch of gorgeousness.
It seemed to be able to captivate people's hearts.
Sikong Yan held the back of her head with one hand and tightly grasped her soft waist with the other hand, as if he wanted to swallow her whole into his stomach.
Shen Chaoyan couldn't stand his teasing like this, she stood on tiptoe, and her hands were wrapped around the man's neck without knowing when.
Feeling her initiative and enthusiasm, Sikong Yan was delighted, and his hands became restless, moving along her waist all the way up...
