Niu Weili almost fainted when he heard that.
Regarding this matter, he was certain that this Young Marquis must have made a move!
Otherwise, he would not have dared to do such a foolish thing!
How could he give away such good paper just like that?
If his head wasn't clamped by a door, then he must have been provoked. Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn't do such a thing.
"Go, go, go. What are you waiting for? Go to the city gates! "
Niu Weili could not sit still any longer. He rushed out of the residence.
The group of yamen runners also hurriedly ran out.
Each of them held a piece of paper in their hands as if it were a treasure.
Don't underestimate the paper in their hands, which was only the size of a book. If they met someone who needed it, this piece of paper could be exchanged for a day's worth of food!
That was scary enough.
They also wanted to follow Niu Weili to take a look. It would be best if they could get some benefits at the same time.
At this moment, the commotion at the city gates was even worse than the market. Everyone was talking about their heads and tiptoeing as they looked at the city gates. Some of them had snatched a piece of paper and were happily showing it off. The rest were even more anxious.
They had no choice. There was only so much paper, but there were so many people.
Although many of them were there to join in the fun and to see who was the person who dared to do such a wasteful thing, they did not dare to do it.
At this moment.
A carriage with a white veil carved with cloud patterns slowly appeared on the suspension bridge of the Illustrious Virtue Gate.
When the carriage crossed the moat, it could not move. In front of the carriage were countless people who had gambled. Even the merchants left one person behind to look after the carriage. The rest of them all rushed into the city gates, as if something terrible had happened in the city.
"Tong 'er, what's going on in front? Why is it so noisy at the gate? "
In the carriage, Ouyang Xun asked calmly. The boy beside the carriage tiptoed to take a look and said, "I don't know, but something seems to have happened. Let me go and take a look."
"This is … Mr. Ouyang's carriage?"
At this moment.
The guards at the city gate finally noticed the unusual carriage and cried out in surprise.
In an instant, everyone who heard this name shuddered. The merchants at the outermost circle hurriedly turned around and made way. They even bowed and saluted.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy? "
The boy imitated Ouyang Xun's tone and pointed at the guard who was taller than him.
The city gate guard who was questioned hurriedly said, "I don't know what happened today. Some women suddenly appeared in the city. They were holding a kind of white paper that had never been seen before. They gave it to everyone they saw. Now, these people have gathered at the city gate. We can't drive them away. More and more people are coming to Chang 'an City after hearing the news!"
The guard hurriedly explained the matter from the beginning to the end. The boy looked at him suspiciously and pointed to an old merchant who was kneeling beside him, who was old enough to be his grandfather, and asked, "Tell me, is what he said true?"
"Replying to little brother, it's true, it's true. Look, these are the two pieces of paper that I just got. If you need it, I can give one to Mr. Ouyang …"
Before he finished speaking, the boy impatiently took the two pieces of paper from his hand.
When the boy saw the paper, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly handed the paper into the sedan.
In the sedan, Ouyang Xun squinted his eyes and waved his folding fan. However, all the sounds outside still reached his ears.
White paper?
Or a group of women giving people away?
Preposterous.
Doesn't that mean that scholars like us are not even as good as those women and children?
Ouyang Xun was angry.
What is this?
It's not a crime to be rich, but you don't have to use the reputation of all scholars and treasures to exaggerate your attitude of being a nouveau riche, right?
White paper?
Ouyang Xun took the white paper from the boy, his heart full of disdain.
However, the moment the white paper touched his hand, Ouyang Xun's expression changed. He hurriedly unfolded the white paper and looked at it carefully with his turbid eyes.
The paper was soft and didn't have the hardness of Xuan paper, but it was very soft, like silk. It was thin, as thin as a cicada's wing. When placed on the curtain of the sedan, it could faintly shine through.
What kind of paper is this?
The Old Man had lived for dozens of years. Why hadn't he heard of this kind of white paper before?
Who was the one who did this?
Why is it so white?
This …
When Ouyang Xun came back to his senses with a series of questions, he couldn't help but be furious.
Such good paper was actually being fought over by these commoners like a market?
Spoiled?
Even he, a great scholar, didn't dare to use Xuan paper casually. This thing was more precious than his life. He would only use it as a last resort.
However, at this moment, when Ouyang Xun lifted the curtain of the sedan, what did he see?
Pairs of sweaty hands were casually dirtying the white paper. Furthermore, someone was actually rubbing it on his dirty face.
Ouyang Xun's vision turned black and he almost fainted.
"Go go go, quickly enter the palace! Boy, immediately, enter the palace! I want to report to the emperor! "
