Chapter 104: The Past Is Unforgettable
Seeing Xu Ping looking at him, Duan Yunjie smiled at him slightly and nodded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The three divisions produced paper on a large scale, the price of paper fell sharply, and the printing industry ushered in its own spring. In the past, due to the high price of paper, a book often had hundreds of texts, and the more exquisite ones had to be consistently upward, and some famous artists had carefully printed them such as "Selected Notes on Du Poems", which were sold at a high price of dozens of times. Now the price of paper has been reduced to less than one-tenth of the original, and it is particularly suitable for ink printing, and it is very common for a booklet to be written in ten words.
Duan Yunjie's printing shop was the first private commercial printing agency to take advantage of this tailwind, and the profits were considerable. Since it is no longer just for book sellers, more customers have turned to ordinary citizens, and the demand for travel novels is huge. However, in this era, these contents are extremely lacking, so Duan Yunjie asked for a wide range of drafts from the students of Guozijian and the people who fell into the capital, and the pavilion officials who had a lot of free time were even more sought-after.
Ouyang Xiu, Hu Su and others once wrote travelogues and sold them to Duan Yunjie, making a lot of extra money. Hearing that Xu Ping started to meet customers today, Duan Yunjie followed them and came over to see Xu Ping's situation.
After eating the watermelon, someone brought water out, and everyone cleaned their hands and sat down again.
Yan Su asked Xu Ping: "Yunxing, how is your condition?" This time it's not lightly ill! ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my mouth is swollen and suppurated, I can't eat, and my spirit is not good."
After speaking, he saw Wang Zhu sitting on the side and gave him his hand: "Thanks to Uncle Yuan this time, I will help in a hurry." ”
Wang Zhu replied: "Be polite, since you meet on the road, how can you turn a blind eye?" ”
Among the current pavilion officials, Wang Zhu and Gao Ruone have the highest medical skills, even if they don't become officials, they can support their families when they go out to open a medical hall. In particular, Wang Zhu excavated Zhang Zhongjing's "Jin Kui Yaolu" in the library of the Hanlin Academy in history, so that Zhang Zhongjing's medical works could be circulated in their entirety.
However, Gao Ruone is square and close to Mu Ne, and he doesn't have much interaction with people, and it was Wang Zhu who shot at that time.
There were too many people coming, and Xu Ping's family was not prepared, and after chatting for a while, everyone saw that Xu Ping's spirit was still not very good, so they got up and said goodbye.
Xu Ping sent people out of the door and said in a loud voice: "I am recuperating at home, and I am also very depressed, and you can come and sit more when you have free time in the future." Although there is nothing to entertain at home, after all, the place is vast and will not be cramped! ”
A group of pavilion officials responded in a disturbed manner and walked towards the door.
Duan Yunjie walked behind, Xu Ping followed, and whispered to her, "I didn't expect you to come to see me today." ”
Duan Yunjie smiled and whispered: "You fell ill suddenly this time, and the rumors outside are terrifying, I can't rest assured." It just so happened that there were officials in the pavilion who were selling words to me and settling their pens, so they took them to take a look. Fortunately, they all knew that we were familiar with each other in Yongzhou, and they didn't shirk it. ”
"I have a heart, I have a heart, I really didn't expect it."
Xu Ping said as he sent Duan Yunjie out of the door. After all, there is a difference between men and women, there are no taboos in the capital like when he was in Yongzhou, Xu Ping can't leave Duan Yunjie alone to talk, it's just that he can see each other.
Ouyang Xiu, who came with Duan Yunjie, saw some signs of it, thinking that he was afraid that Duan Yunjie and Xu Ping would have some inexplicable relationship. This is a literati affair, Duan Yunjie is now their financier, and he is a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person, and he has the intention of watching the excitement.
It's just that Duan Yunjie is still in the filial piety period, and Xu Ping deliberately kept his distance from her, which made these people feel a little disappointed.
Watching Duan Yunjie leave with everyone, the figure gradually disappeared, Xu Ping stood at the door, thinking of the past in Yongzhou, the bits and pieces of the two together, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Literati are romantic, and it is common to play with courtesans in restaurants, but it is still disgraceful for real women from good families to flirt with them. Even if a high-ranking official takes a concubine, he is not yet forty years old, and when he is young and strong, he is not a time to enjoy fame, and few people do this. Not taking concubines when you are less than forty years old is also an unspoken rule of scholars.
Like Liu Zhi's ancestor, Liu Kai, a dissolute and uninhibited clansman who once had a rich man, brought his family to Beijing to pay homage, he went to someone's house as a guest, and saw a woman in the painting who looked good, and asked if it was the daughter of that family, and it happened that his wife died, so he forced him to marry his daughter. This was a forced marriage to a people's daughter, and it was the daughter of the Minyue Qian family who gave up the land peacefully, which caused an uproar at that time. As a result, the matter went to Emperor Zhenzong, and Zhenzong actually told the Qian family that marrying his daughter to Liu Kai was a big bargain, and giving a dowry was a good talk. In the final analysis, Liu Kai still continued to marry back as a wife, and only after he married was he forced to marry, and the emperor also supported him.
After Duan Yunjie is also regarded as a hero, he is in the filial piety period, Xu Ping has a wife and daughter at home, and the impact is very bad when he gets closer. If there is a concert, Xu Ping's own influence will be secondary, and Duan Yunjie's reputation will be greatly damaged. When the filial piety period passes, if Duan Yunjie himself is also interested, Xu Ping does not mind accepting a concubine to come back, this era is a normal thing. As for whether Lin Suniang minds or not, Xu Ping feels that his wife doesn't seem to strongly oppose this kind of thing, and Lin Suniang has always behaved quite virtuously.
But now, when Duan Yunjie still has filial piety on her body, Xu Ping must deliberately distance herself. This is the basic criterion of being a human being, and when we reach this era, we must abide by the morality of this era, otherwise we will harm others and ourselves.
Holding on to the big tree in front of the door and sighing, Xu Ping felt a little lost in his heart, and turned around and entered the house.
Outside the door, Sun Qilang and Liu Xiaoyi were leading people to do farm work, and when they saw Xu Ping's appearance, they also sighed. Xu Chang and Liu Xiaoyi had never been to Lingnan and didn't know the story that happened there, so Sun Qilang suddenly thought about Gao Daquan.
Back in the small flower hall, Xu Ping sat at the table alone, thinking about his own thoughts. Duan Yunjie is different from Lin Suniang, she really has some like-minded meaning, beauty is secondary, the key is to be able to talk together. Man, it's always a pleasant thing to have a confidante with you. But Xu Ping has always restrained himself and let things develop naturally, and when it comes to the day when it comes to the natural future, he will not flinch. But before that, they will not chase after women like teenagers, and people are not only between men and women.
While Xu Ping was thinking nonsense, Xu Chang hurriedly came in and said to Xu Ping: "Da Lang, several of your subordinates in the Salt and Iron Division have arrived in the mansion and are in a hurry to see you in the living room!" ”
Xu Ping saw that Xu Chang's appearance was different from just now, and knew that these subordinates were only afraid that they would not only come to see him, so he hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the living room in front of him.
Guo Jian, Liu Xin and Zheng Jian, who were waiting there, got up and saluted, Xu Ping saw that Liu Xin and Guo Jian had heavy faces, and Zheng Jian looked murderous, so he knew that something was going to happen in the three divisions. (To be continued.) )
