Chapter 558: Bookstore
In the afternoon, the chessboard street is still so lively. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Chessboard Street, one end is the Daming Gate of the Imperial City, and the other end is the Zhengyang Gate of the Beijing Division.
Zongren Mansion, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Household Yamen, and Hanlin Courtyard are all on the right side of Daming Gate, officials enter and exit frequently, and the imperial city does not allow the people to pass, and the people want to go from the west of the city to the east of the city, mostly through the East and West River Rice Lane through the chessboard street. Therefore, Qipan Street has become the first bustling and lively place in the capital. The Chaoqian City in front of the Ming Gate and the bookstore are all places where the world's businessmen and businessmen gather.
On this day, Lin Yanchao retreated, because it was still early, he did not go home, but went to the bookstore.
This bookstore is located outside the Ministry of Rites, west of Gongchen Gate, in the past, the children who participated in the Spring Festival went to Beijing to catch the exam, and after going to the Ministry of Rites to post, they would buy books and read books in this bookstore. Over time, it has become the largest bookstore in the capital and perhaps the largest in the world.
Lin Yanchao is a book lover, and he buys books to read when he has nothing to do on weekdays, but yesterday I heard Zhu Yi say that he accidentally found a pair of Chen Ziang's ink in the bookstore here, which is worth a thousand gold.
So Lin Yanchao also moved the idea of coming here to have a look.
Lin Yanchao got out of the carriage, Ling Zhanming waited, and he and Chen Jichuan entered in civilian clothes.
Lin Yanchao visited several bookstores, which sold all the 'textbooks' about the imperial examination, but they were not what he asked for when he came to find idle books.
After walking a few places, Lin Yanchao stood in front of a bookstore with a large faΓ§ade.
I was thinking about whether to go in, when I saw two middle-aged scholars walk out. One person made a big statement and said: "There is no great talent in this dynasty!" β
Another reader asked, "What do you mean by that?" β
The scholar waved the book in his hand and said: "Look at these eight big banknotes, there is actually not a single article of a famous person in this dynasty, do you say that there is no good article in this dynasty." It's just that our poetry is not as good as the Tang and Song dynasties, and even the imperial examination articles are not as good, and the real generation is not as good as the generation! β
Lin Yanchao almost laughed out loud after hearing this, but the other person said: "This is reasonable, you said that Wang Yizhou is so famous, there is no article here that is not said, that is, he has always praised a generation of Wenzong Lin Sanyuan, and there is no article in the list, which is really ashamed of the ancients." β
Hearing the other party mention himself, Lin Yanchao couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and said, "Two brothers, please." β
The two middle-aged scholars, seeing that Lin Yanchao was dressed a little contemptuous, immediately asked, "Do you have anything to say?" β
Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, I just accidentally listened to the two brothers talking, and I can't help but want to say that these eight big banknotes refer to the eight big families during the Tang and Song dynasties, of course, there are no people from this dynasty, so it can't be said that one generation is not as good as the next." β
The two of them froze in place, their faces flushed. One person argued: "This ...... Of course I know, but if you want to tell me, how many books have you read? What is the name of the family? Dare to speak up? Do you know that the two of us are dignified tributes? I just said Wang Yizhou, what does Lin Sanyuan have to do with you, and you want to speak for them like this? β
Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, and stopped talking for a while.
When the shopkeeper of the bookstore saw this, he immediately greeted him and persuaded him.
After sending the two away, the shopkeeper looked at Lin Yanchao, but saw that he was very young, but his clothing and bearing were extraordinary, and he had an entourage by his side, thinking that he was a certain second generation.
So the shopkeeper said very attentively: "I don't know what book the guest officer wants to buy?" Our store has a new article authentic, eight big money banknotes, Wenfu Daquan? If you go to the exam, the pen and ink paper in our store are readily available, there are bamboo paper from Fujian, cotton paper from Jiangxi, mirror Korean paper, and the pen of Huimo Lake is also complete, and the guest officer may wish to enter the store to take a look. β
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic, Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I'm also going to take a look at it, are there any books that have been used in the world?" β
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, yes, please come in the guest officer, I'll let the guy find it for you." β
"Okay." Lin Yanchao responded and immediately entered the bookstore.
After entering the bookstore, the shopkeeper first showed Lin Yanchao a seat, served a fruit plate and tea, and then sent his men to pick up the books.
After taking a seat, the shopkeeper quietly inquired about Lin Yanchao's news.
Lin Yanchao didn't mind making up one casually, and said that he had donated to the Guozijian two years ago and was preparing to go to Shuntian Township next year for the test.
The shopkeeper heard that Lin Yanchao was born as a donor, and the smile on his face was even stronger, who didn't know that all the regular supervisors were rich, so he stammered even more: "As soon as the villain looks at the son, he knows that the future will be unspeakably expensive, and there will be a day when there will be a golden horse and a jade hall." β
Jinma refers to the Golden Horse Gate, which is the place where the scholars of the Han Dynasty were edicted; Yutang, referring to the Hanlin Academy, these are all words that complimented scholars in the past. However, Lin Yanchao just smiled, because he was already now.
knew that Lin Yanchao was a big customer, so the guy brought Lin Yanchao a lot of books.
The shopkeeper diligently introduced: "This art garden dialect is made by Wang Yizhou, this is the first-class master of this dynasty, if you don't read his articles, you can't be considered a reader!" β
"I've read it."
The shopkeeper was embarrassed, and then took out several more copies, but he heard Lin Yanchao say that he had read them one by one.
The shopkeeper suddenly said in his heart, you kid is not nonsense, look at how old you are, you have seen it all? If you have really seen it, you still have to spend money to enter the national prison? Why don't you take a subject name in the end?
However, the shopkeeper still patiently took out another book and said: "This book is the Emperor's Ming Jingshi Wenlu, compiled by dozens of students in Suzhou, it is a large collection of articles by famous scholars in this dynasty, the book is twenty-five volumes, which selects the articles of Song Lian, Shang Chen, Wang Shizhen and fifteen famous artists, this book is new, you see that there is even an article by Lin Sanyuan, the champion of the new department. β
"Oh?"
Lin Yanchao heard his own article, took the book from his buddy's hand and saw that in the book, he was copying his two articles "For Learning" and "Cao Cheating", a strategy for the palace test, and an article in "Notes on Ancient Texts of Shangshu".
Although his own articles are still less, only one volume of twenty-five volumes is accounted for, which is not as good as two volumes of other famous writers, but Lin Yanchao looks at his articles juxtaposed with Song Lian, Shang Chen, Wang Shizhen and other famous writers, which is really good.
Lin Yanchao couldn't help asking, "Are there any other articles by Lin Sanyuan?" β
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, yes." β
At that moment, the shopkeeper personally went to the bookshelf to take a few books, Lin Yanchao was slightly disappointed, except for "Notes on Ancient Texts of Shangshu", they were mainly art books.
For example, Gengchen Kedian tried the champion Lin Yanchao to make art.
Selected art of the champion Lin Houguan, with poems and strategies.
Lin Sanyuan system art heart certificate and so on.
Lin Yanchao read this kind of imperial examination book, and couldn't help but think of a joke in later generations.
In the joke, what are the two most hated places for students in the country? Answer, Haidian, Huanggang.
Alas, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh on his forehead.
The shopkeeper asked, "Did you buy all of these booksellers?" β
Lin Yanchao said decisively: "I won't buy any of them." (To be continued.) )
