Time flies quickly, Zhulan received the new newspaper. The revised version was not entirely filled with serial stories but also included short stories, with a total of five stories from reputable authors and none from new authors.
The story of the Empress Dowager Chen was on the front page. How to put it? Even though Zhulan was used to reading articles in ancient times, she still thought plain language was better and marveled at the Empress Dowager's talent.
Lady Li didn't like storybooks and was shocked at her mother-in-law for buying so many. "Mother, how many copies did you subscribe to?"
"Not many, twenty copies."
Lady Li, "..."
Is that not many? Her mother-in-law alone subscribed to twenty copies; adding in the subscriptions from various courtyards, her family alone subscribed to nearly thirty copies, and a newspaper wasn't cheap.
Lady Li considered the price, "Why is the storytelling newspaper so expensive? One copy costs one hundred fifty wen."
"The paper's expensive."
