Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Grand Princess's Mansion,

The wooden fish is tapped gently, and the Buddhist chants rise into the clouds.

The courtyard was filled with monks sitting cross-legged, chanting scriptures to exorcise ghosts.

Master Zhihong, a high monk at Tianfu Temple, frowned.

Is the Princess's Mansion clean? Of course it's not.

There are evil spirits and ghosts, and chanting the mantra of rebirth can help them be reborn.

But the Grand Princess ordered him to catch ghosts. What kind of ghost could empty the entire warehouse?

The King of Hell?

If he really is the King of Hell, with his level of skill, anyone who gets close to him will be shattered to pieces. Asking him to catch ghosts, isn't that a fantasy?

Furthermore, the Grand Princess mentioned Princess Kangle's precocious intelligence, which was almost magical. Could it be that she suspected Princess Kangle of using ghostly magic?

Does this mean that he wants me to convict Princess Kangle?

If Princess Kangle was an ordinary person, she might have been forced by the pressure from the Princess's Mansion to harm others against her conscience.

But is Princess Kangle an ordinary person?

of course not.

Princess Kangle was extraordinary since she entered the court at the age of thirteen, and saving the people during the storm was also a meritorious deed that brought good fortune.

Although his knowledge of Buddhism was superficial, he never harmed people who had good merits and good fortune.

He didn't dare to touch the King of Hell, nor did he dare to offend Princess Kangle. The Grand Princess was pressing him hard. Master Zhihong was wondering whether he should pretend to be weak?

After all, catching ghosts and chanting scriptures is tiring, isn't it?

Let’s not talk about Master Zhihong’s depression for now.

However, the sales of Cangwu People's Daily and Cui Zixuan's Dream Record of the Saint were almost the same at the beginning.

The prices of the two newspapers were the same, four cents for one copy and seven cents for two copies.

People in Beijing are not short of money. They buy one copy from one newspaper and then buy one from another newspaper. After all, the contents of the two newspapers are different.

But gradually, people discovered that the accuracy of the observatory's seven-day weather forecast was almost the same as the accuracy of Cui Zixuan's three-day weather forecast in The Saint's Dream Record, both of which were around 95%.

Moreover, the Cangwu People's Daily is sold on time at 7:00 am every day.

The Dream Record of the Saint is sold at 8 o'clock in the morning.

The two newspapers were published half an hour apart.

At first, no one paid attention to the problem of the time, but after a long time, the error of half an hour was discovered by someone.

So there were rumors that Cui Zixuan was not as good as others in predicting rainy days, and now she was learning from Kangle County to publish a newspaper, and it was estimated that her weather forecast was copied from Cangwu People's Daily.

For a time, the capital was in an uproar, and everyone was talking about this topic after dinner.

Even the emperor heard about this matter. After leaving the court, he asked Song Jinxiu alone whether he needed to send someone to seal up "The Dream Record of the Saint Maiden".

Song Jinxiu blinked. Is His Majesty trying to use this to suppress "The Dream Record of the Saint Maiden"?

Suddenly, she had an idea.

Cui Zixuan's newspaper was given such a bad name, probably to test the attitude of His Majesty, and His Majesty took the opportunity of this "plagiarism" to ban "The Dream Record of the Saint", which is to show his attitude.

I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't like anything related to the "Saint".

Your Majesty, are you trying to nip this problem in the bud?

Humph! The Cui family is still thinking of producing another saint, but with Your Majesty's attitude, that's absolutely impossible.

Song Jinxiu thought for a moment and shook her head. "Your Majesty, there's no need for me to intervene. I have a way to ensure that no one is interested in her 'Record of the Saint's Dreams'."

"Oh? The Cui family is no pushover, Lord Song, plagiarism is a terrible offense. Don't be soft-hearted!"

"Your Majesty, plagiarizing weather forecasts isn't illegal. I actually hope everyone will plagiarize the observatory's forecasts. This will at least allow more people to understand weather changes. It's a good thing."

Seeing the emperor's depressed expression, Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you ban it, it will only make the people more curious about The Saint's Dream Record, and it may even have the opposite effect.

Your Majesty, rest assured, I have a way to make "The Dream Record of the Saint" lose the support of the people.

If "The Saint's Dream Record" is ignored and becomes a piece of waste paper, I think it will be more effective than banning it."

Is this what people want?

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "What new tricks does Lord Song have?"

Song Jinxiu said with a serious face: "I rely on my ability, Your Majesty, just wait and see."

After Song Jinxiu and Zhu Beichen discussed it, the content of Cangwu People's Daily became richer.

The headlines include current affairs, court anecdotes, folk tales, and secrets of nobles.

There are also poems and songs with gorgeous language, fascinating serial novels, and exquisite paintings and illustrations.

For a time, the daily "Cangwu People's Daily" was sold out within an hour after it came out.

Not to mention Cui Zixuan's "The Dream Record of the Saint", even Song Jinfang's novel illustrations were affected.

Fortunately, her "Journey to the West" already has a fixed readership, but if this continues, it will sooner or later be squeezed out by the "Cangwu People's Daily".

"Sister, why don't I stop doing this after I publish Journey to the West?"

Song Jinfang discussed this with her sister, since she didn't expect to make money from the pictorial anyway.

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Your pictorial should focus on the painting."

As she spoke, she took out a picture book called "The Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon".

"Hey, look, this is a picture book."

"A comic book? Oh, it really is a comic book, so cute. Sister, can Journey to the West be like this? Hehehe, this picture of Sun Wukong is really beautiful."

"Yes, I told you, a copy of Journey to the West will keep you well-fed and well-clothed."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll make this picture book and sell it. Kids will definitely like it."

Speaking of children, Song Jinxiu suddenly thought of her younger brother.

Picture books play an indispensable role in children's education.

Just for my little brother, I have to make this picture book.

So she took out a few picture books of idiom stories and gave them to her sister.

For example, "Loyalty to the Country", "The Crow and the Pitcher", "The Farmer and the Snake", "Pulling Up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow"...

Song Jinfang is no longer surprised by printed materials.

She carefully put it away and said, "Sister, I'll go and draw it now."

My sister's works were not to be seen by others. She had to copy them and correct the missing characters before handing them over to the publisher for engraving and printing.

The sales of Cui Zixuan's "The Saint's Dream Record" had dropped significantly. Sometimes, only when the "Cangwu People's Daily" was sold out would a few people come to buy a copy.

What’s even more infuriating is that these people were chatting while buying.

"Hey, you got up late too? Didn't you buy the Cangwu People's Daily?"

"Nonsense, if I have already bought it, can I still buy this "Record of the Saint's Dreams"? "

"Whatever, it's just a weather forecast, so just make do with it."

What does it mean to just make do with it?

What do you mean you won’t come back to buy after you’ve already bought it?

Cui Zixuan slammed the table and said, "Go, bring me that lousy newspaper. I want to see if there's gold writing on it."

The maid quickly handed over a copy of today's "Cangwu People's Daily".

They have special people who buy the Cangwu People's Daily as soon as possible every day just to read the weather forecast.

If the weather forecast on it is different from their own, the young lady will go to the Imperial Observatory to seek help from the director.

It will be published only after the Supervisor has confirmed the weather again.

The purpose is to make their own weather forecast more accurate than the other party's.

Cui Zixuan holds the "Cangwu People's Daily". At first glance, there is no difference?

The layout order of the pages is the same.

Wait, there is also an advertisement asking for manuscripts.

Is their newspaper going out of business? Why are they still buying manuscripts from outsiders at exorbitant prices?

"Hahaha... Well, has that bitch Song Jinxiu finally run out of tricks?"
