Liu Yu secretly left the academy with the eunuchs.
Two guards followed behind from a distance to ensure Liu Yu's safety.
Liu Yu rented a carriage at the entrance of the academy.
He did not allow the eunuch to come forward, but stepped forward himself and asked:
"How much does it cost to charter a car to Xinmin County?"
"Young Master, are you only booking one trip, or round trip?"
"One trip."
"A hundred coins for your kindness."
It’s quite cheap.
Liu Yu muttered something secretly, asked the eunuch to give the money, and the master and servant got on the carriage and headed for Xinmin County.
I never thought about bargaining during the whole process.
The driver was cheerful and enjoyed doing business with scholars.
The price is what it is. Customers like this, please come for another dozen.
The carriage swayed down the mountain.
It's very lively at the foot of the mountain.
Even before arriving in Xinmin County, you can already feel its popularity.
Both sides of the official road are lined with small vendors setting up stalls.
There are also farmers from nearby villages who carry their own produce to sell.
The carriage crossed the official road, turned right, and entered the county seat of Xinmin County.
"parking!"
Liu Yu and the eunuch got off the carriage.
"Give me a copy of Life Show." Liu Yu called the newsboy and spent two cents to buy a copy of "Da Zhou Life Show".
He stood by the roadside, flipping through the newspaper at a glance.
Soon, he was grinning and beaming.
“It’s been published.”
He threw the newspaper to the eunuch, "Page 4, Dalang beats Pipijiu with a stick. He also changed a few places in this young master's article."
The eunuch said cheerfully, "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. Your first submission was accepted."
Liu Yu was originally very happy, but when he heard the eunuch say that it was his first submission, his face immediately fell.
The eunuch secretly slapped himself twice to stop you from speaking.
Liu Yu's face turned serious. "This isn't the first time I've submitted an article. The Shanhe Academy Newspaper has already rejected three of my articles."
"Don't be angry, sir. It's the Shanhe Academy Newspaper that's blind."
"Nonsense, where did you learn such smooth talk? It's obvious that my article wasn't good enough, so it was rejected by the Mountain and River Academy Newspaper. The requirements of the Mountain and River Academy Newspaper are very high, and it's definitely not comparable to the Great Zhou Life Show. There's nothing to be happy about my article being accepted by the Great Zhou Life Show."
The eunuch secretly slapped himself twice again and said, "I don't know how to speak, please forgive me, sir. But in my eyes, the article you wrote is the best."
Liu Yu was in a low mood. "Don't keep chasing me. Brother Liu Zheng and I have an appointment to meet at the teahouse. You lead the way."
The eunuch took the order and took Liu Yu to the teahouse and asked for a private room on the second floor facing the street.
"I don't know if Young Master Zheng can leave the city safely." The eunuch was worried that Liu Yu would be discovered if he stayed out for too long.
Liu Yu flipped through the Life Show and read all the articles on it.
"Another article about Princess Huyang. This is more interesting than the last article about how to maintain your health. I didn't expect Princess Huyang would also sneak snacks when she was a child."
Liu Yu was amused by what he saw and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
Because he also steals snacks, after reading the article "Our embarrassing story, stealing snacks!", I felt a sense of identification and couldn't help but smile.
"The content of the second issue is clearly better than the first. The writing is smoother and more humorous and interesting. In such a short period of time, they have been able to summarize so much experience and make corrections. The articles they write are closer to life. They are worthy of being called Wenqing Bookstore."
The eunuch asked cautiously, "Sir, do you think the Life Show is good?"
Liu Yu said, "In terms of the depth and purpose of its articles, 'Shanhe Academy Newspaper' is miles ahead of 'Da Zhou Life Show.' Even 'Guozijian Newspaper' is a level higher than 'Life Show.'"
But as a two-cent entertainment publication, aimed at the general public, Life Show clearly does a great job. Shanhe Academy Newspaper is too highbrow, catering to only a small number of readers. Life Show is both cheesy and entertaining enough. The two newspapers clearly have different positioning.
Liu Yu's analysis was very logical and made a lot of sense.
The eunuch was full of admiration. "I also think Life Show is interesting. The Shanhe Academy Newspaper is too serious. Often, I can't understand the articles there."
Liu Yu nodded. "The articles in the Shanhe Academy Newspaper are sometimes too obscure and difficult to understand. They just show off their knowledge and literary talent. They are not as interesting as the short articles in the Life Show."
The eunuch asked, "Will you buy every issue from now on?"
"Buy! Do you think I should write another article and submit it?"
"Sir, have you decided what to write?"
Liu Yu held his chin with one hand, frowning, "I don't know what to write for the moment. I definitely can't write about family matters."
The eunuch suggested, "Do you want to write a book about academy?"
Liu Yu nodded. "Every teacher in the academy is very interesting. And all the senior students in the academy are also interesting people. It would be great to write about them!"
Liu Yu's eyes lit up and he found a new direction.
"Second brother, second brother..."
Through the door, I could hear Liu Zheng's loud voice.
Liu Yu frowned and felt a little depressed.
Why call him second brother?
The eunuch opened the door, Liu Zheng rushed in and slapped Liu Yu on the shoulder.
Liu Yu bared his teeth, "How ruthless!"
Liu Zheng laughed.
Liu Yu slapped the Life Show on the table and said with his head held high: "The article has been published. It uses the title we decided on earlier, Dalangbang beats Pipijiu."
"Where is it? Turn it over and show it to me."
Liu Zheng looked excited.
This article, "Da Lang beats Pi Pi Jiu with a stick," describes the incident in which two people beat the Ninth Prince. They used various embellishments to cover up the traces, and even left no contact information, in order to prevent anyone from discovering the truth and tracing it back to the two of them.
"Good! This paragraph is especially well written. This young master knocked out Paopijiu with three punches, and Paopijiu knelt down and begged for mercy, haha..."
Liu Zheng was so excited that he danced with joy.
"Brother Yu, should we write another article to be published on the Life Show?"
Liu Yu shook his head, "This can only happen once, not twice. This matter ends here for now."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Where are we going to eat? I heard that the beef restaurants around here are delicious. Do you want to try them?"
The two boys chatted and talked about food.
They are all foodies and have good appetites.
I wasn’t satisfied after eating beef, so I continued eating along the snack street.
Eat until your belly is full.
Liu Zheng touched his stomach and said, "No, no, I can't eat anymore."
He was helped onto the carriage by the servants and immediately lay down.
Liu Yu wasn't in much better condition either, having already eaten too much.
He also didn't forget to bring food back for Heng Ge'er.
Heng Ge'er agreed to cover for him on the condition that he bring back some food.
Liu Yu specially bought a food box, carried a box of food, rented a carriage, and went up the mountain.
The two guards following behind breathed a sigh of relief.
The little ancestor finally got tired of playing and was willing to go home.
They are exhausted.
This job is almost as dangerous as death.
Heng'er waited anxiously and finally waited for Yu'er.
The two brothers met at the school gate.
Yu Ge'er opened the lid of the food box, revealing a corner.
Heng Ge'er's mouth was suddenly filled with saliva and he swallowed a few times.
“It looks delicious.”
"It's still steaming. There's no one in the pavilion now, let's eat there."
The two brothers ran all the way to the pavilion.
After opening the food box, Heng Ge'er picked up the meat pie and took two bites.
"Delicious! Even better than what the royal chef makes."
Yu Ge'er also bought a bowl of beef offal soup in a ceramic pot.
After drinking the hot beef offal soup, Heng Ge'er sighed with satisfaction.
"It's delicious! Next time I want to go to Xinmin County with my brother."
"You can't go, you are too young. Be careful that kidnappers may kidnap you." Yu Ge'er said seriously, firmly disagreeing with Heng Ge'er going out with him.
Heng'er snorted twice, but for the sake of food, he didn't argue with his brother.
Heng Ge'er ate meat patties, fried dumplings, buns, candied men, a bowl of beef offal soup, and two taels of braised beef.
Eat until your belly is full.
You little brat, you're eating me out of house and home.
This was clearly reflected in the two brothers.
Although he is young, he has an amazing appetite.
I am not picky about food, I want to eat everything and I can eat everything.
I can eat so much without getting stomach upset.
Heng Ge'er burped contentedly, touched his stomach and said, "I can't eat dinner anymore. What should I do? Mother will definitely find out."
Yu Ge'er had already thought of a solution, "We will eat alone tonight and not dine with mother."
"Will mother be suspicious?"
"No. Mother is going to take Niuniu and Erge'er to dinner, so she won't notice whether we have eaten or not."
Heng Ge'er grinned, revealing his gums where his lower front teeth were missing.
No wonder he leaked something.
The two brothers ate and drank their fill, and lingered until it was almost dark before returning to Xiaozhu.
From a distance, I could hear Niu Niu and Ge'er crying.
Heng Ge'er said excitedly: "Guess, was it Niuniu who hit Heng Ge'er, or Heng Ge'er who hit Niuniu?"
"I guess the two of them had a fight and then both got spanked by their mother."
hey-hey……
The two brothers looked very happy.
Niu Niu and Ge'er, when they are on good terms, are as close as one person. But when they fight, they are like enemies.
Anyway, it's sometimes good and sometimes bad.
The two brothers found something to do and volunteered to take Niu Niu and Ge'er to the garden to play, to burn off their excess energy and digest their stomachs at the same time.
This way, I can still have two bowls of food for dinner.
The two brats thought they could hide the truth, but they didn't know that the guards had already reported every word and action to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Tell the kitchen to serve dinner an hour later tonight. Let the two brats digest their food first. They eat so much all day long, aren't they afraid of growing into little fat kids?"
