Chapter 998: The Ban Family

In the future, Cao Shou invited and entertained him, but Zhou Shaoyu would not refuse.

When the appointed time has arrived, he didn't wait for anyone to report, so he came to the hall by himself, never thought that Cao Shou didn't see it, but he saw a strange man, looking at his age, he should be twenty-seven or eighteen, and his clothes were also very simple, but his fingers had calluses, and they were the kind of calluses that appeared a lot of writing, not farm work.

may have been dealing with writing all year round, and there is not much communication with people, but when Zhou Shaoyu came in, it was quite unnatural, arching his hands, and not speaking. Seeing this, Zhou Shaoyu didn't take the initiative to get close, just waiting for Cao Shou to come and introduce him.

"Haha, I'll introduce you to one or two. Brother Meng Jian, this is the Chang'an Junjie Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Langjun that my brother and you often say...... "Cao Shou is also boastful, Chang'an Junjie has come out, Zhou Shaoyu suddenly sweated profusely, how could he have a reputation in Chang'an at this time."

"Brother Zijin, this is Yu Zhi's friend, the surname is solid, the word Meng Jian, the family history has entered Taixue, and his ancestor was Guangping Taishou ......"

Zhou Shaoyu was stupid, and said in a trembling voice: "Ban, Bangu? Is my father the class teacher who wrote "Northern Expedition Fu"? ”

Shi is an honorific title, and Ban Gu's father is named Ban Biao, so it is naturally inappropriate to call him by his name.

"It's my father's ......" Ban Gu arched his hand, somewhat restrained, but when he heard that Zhou Shaoyu knew that his deceased father was also a lot more relaxed.

"Long admiration, disrespectful!" Zhou Shaoyu's face was solemn, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Now, he knew who he was pumping this time.

Ban Gu, the name Meng Jian, a famous historian and writer of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was able to belong to the literature at the age of nine, recited poems, entered Taixue at the age of sixteen, read a wide range of books, and was proficient in Confucian classics and history. Well, to be more direct, the one who wrote the Book of Han!

When it comes to Bangu, we can't fail to mention the three brothers and sisters of the Ban family, whose younger brother Ban Chao, sent a pen to the Western Regions from Rong to recover more than 50 countries in the Western Regions, and made great contributions to the return of the Western Regions. The official is protected by the Western Regions, and the marquis of Dingyuan is known as "Ban Dingyuan"!

And his sister, that's right, is the Ban Zhao who continued to write the "Book of Han" and wrote the "Female Commandment"! She is one of the four talented women in Chinese history!

Of course, there is a certain amount of controversy, some people think that it should be Zhuo Wenjun who is 'willing to be a person with one heart and never be separated', not Ban Zhao, but the reason is also simple, from the perspective of future generations, Ban Zhao's "Female Commandment" is certainly not a good thing.

But Ban Zhao's talent, no one can. Even if there is a controversy, you will propose a dispute with another person? Not even qualified.

So the girl drawn this time is already clear at a glance, it's not Ban Zhao, who else can it be?

Sorting out this, Zhou Shaoyu can be regarded as knowing who Cao Shou is. Isn't this Nima Ban Zhao's future husband? And Cao Xiaogu, her name is not a sister at all, her full name is Cao Fengsheng, "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" contains: Zhao's sister Cao Fengsheng, Zhao's sister-in-law's sister. There are also talents, and it is difficult to write for books, and the words are considerable.

That is to say, Cao Fengsheng was very uninterested in Ban Zhao's "Female Commandment", and was very opposed, and even wrote a book to refute it, and his writing was excellent and talented.

No wonder, no wonder Cao Xiaogu's temperament is like this, and her final 'little lady', besides Ban Zhao, who else can there be?

The corners of Zhou Shaoyu's mouth twitched, he was helpless, if he crossed at another point in time, he was afraid that he would have thought of it a long time ago, that is, he was in a bad mood this time, and he didn't think about it carefully, so he ignored it.

Wait, in 58 AD, that is to say, Ban Zhao is not far from marrying into the Cao family? I don't know if it's too late to cut off the beard.

This is Ban Zhao, the great talent is here, it would be a pity to miss it.

So Zhou Shaoyu decisively admired Ban Biao's posture for a long time, and quietly flattered, Ban Gu had light on his face, and he was naturally happy in his heart.

"I heard that the class teacher considered the previous history, corrected the gains and losses, and left dozens of historical records and biographies, and I have admired it for a long time, I don't know if I can have the opportunity to admire and study it?" Zhou Shaoyu made a request just right.

Sima Qian's historical records were written from the legendary Yellow Emperor to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but since the early years of Taichu, they have not been written. After that, it's not that no one wrote it, but most of them are dog-tailed minks, and the gap is too big.

In the end, Ban Biao thought so, so Ban Biao began to collect materials, study history books, and began to continue the work.

In fact, Ban Gu wrote the "Book of Han", to a large extent, according to the posthumous works of his father Ban Biao, and completed the collation, revision and supplementation. Then before he finished writing, he was involved in a major case of plotting a rebellion and died unjustly. That's why Ban Zhao continued to write.

Of course, Ban Gu's credit cannot be denied because of this, after all, Ban Biao only left a general foundation, which needs to be perfected and has a huge workload.

The reason why Zhou Shaoyu brought up this matter was that he really wanted to take a look at the original manuscript, and secondly, he had a comprehensive plan. There is no more appropriate reason to approach than that.

Ban Biao died four years ago, at the age of 52, but died of illness. As the pillar of the family, after Ban Biao's death, all aspects of the Ban family fell instantly, and it was difficult to maintain their livelihood.

The expenses of Luoyang in Beijing were too great, and the Ban family moved back to their hometown, that is, the right Fufeng Anling. It can be said that now is the saddest time for the Ban family.

In fact, if the Ban family really wants to give up, they can live a prosperous life, after all, it is still the Han Dynasty, and the books are beyond the previous things, and the Ban family's collection of books is far more than ordinary people, if it is sold, it is also a great wealth.

Of course, this is not possible. If it really falls to the point of selling books to maintain, then the reputation of the Ban family will stink. So now the Ban family is really poor.

Ban Gu had nothing to do, so he privately began to sort out and write the "Book of Han", of course, this matter was not publicized, at least now no one knows, so of course Zhou Shaoyu will not mention it.

According to the plan, Zhou Shaoyu was better in the name of admiring Ban Biao, and it was logical to enter and leave Ban's house, and then 'accidentally' found that Ban Gu revised the history book, and then kept it secret, through this way, it is bound to make the friendship go a step further, and it is more or less a handle.

It is a serious crime to privately revise the history of the country, and Ban Gu did not get the edict, and he revised the history of the country in private, and it was found that it was not an exaggeration to cut off his head directly. When Zhou Shaoyu keeps it secret, it is equivalent to taking the same risk, and in this case, Ban Gu must be grateful.

Well, just a little mean.

However, this is definitely the best way to properly approach the Ban family, and there is no one.

Then Zhou Shaoyu can 'point' one or two, just kidding, "Hanshu" is written by you, but you can't stand it at this time, you haven't finished writing it, it's far away, and the whole book is already in our hands.

Tut-tut, use other people's things to gain people's favor, well-mm, there's no one.

As for Ban Zhao, there must also be a chance to get in touch, as for how to get favor, depending on the situation, there is no big problem. Think about the "Female Commandment" written by Ban Zhao, according to his thoughts, as long as Ban Gu, the eldest brother, is in charge and gives it to Zhou Shaoyu, then even if Zhou Shaoyu is really a dog, Ban Zhao will obey it!!

Well, that's a bit of a no-brainer, it's an exaggeration, but that's really the case. The eldest brother is like a father, and the father's order is difficult to disobey.

I have to say that the abacus in Zhou Shaoyu's heart crackled. The brain is really fast enough, and as soon as I knew the identity of the person and figured out the original flavor, I immediately cleared my mind and had a comprehensive plan.

And the plan is completely more than that, just this year, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty appointed Liu Cang, the king of Dongping, as a hussar general, and allowed him to choose forty auxiliary officers. Ban Gu wrote a self-recommendation for "Notes on Dongping Wang Cang", not only self-recommendation, but also recommended others.

However, the ending was a bit miserable, the person who was recommended was accepted, and he, the person who recommended himself and recommended, was rejected.

What does this mean? It shows that the Ban family is really having a hard time at this moment, and they are in a hurry to support their family. In addition, of course, Ban Gu also wants to be an official, in ancient times, which one doesn't want to? I can't say that the reason why Cao Shou held a banquet was to get to know Zhou Shaoyu for his friend Ban Gu and broaden his contacts, after all, Cao Shou had misunderstood, thinking that Zhou Shaoyu's origin was not simple.

In short, this is also where it can be utilized. Of course, it's best if you don't need it, after all, Zhou Shaoyu can't really get him an official body, at most he can improve his life.

Regarding Zhou Shaoyu's request, Ban Gu hesitated slightly, which is also a matter of course.

In these years, knowledge books, which are basically monopolies, are equivalent to intellectual property patents or something in later generations, and the core things will be casually let outsiders see? And the Ban family is not only the little article left by Ban Biao, but also a lot of books, if Zhou Shaoyu proposes to look at the collection of books at that time, then how to refuse?

In terms of talent, Bangu undoubtedly has it. But in terms of communicating with people, it is really a lot worse, at least compared to his younger brother Ban Chao, it is not half a star worse.

Well, this is also nonsense, Ban Chao has been an envoy to various countries in the Western Regions for most of his life, and he can speak of words and feelings, brave and strategic, how can ordinary people compare, it can only be said that they have their own strengths.

But after all, it was not good to refuse, Ban Gu finally agreed, thinking that it was a big deal to hand it over to his younger brother Ban Chao to receive him.

Zhou Shaoyu smiled in his heart, as an old fritter, how could he be unreliable. Isn't it just a collection of books? Don't forget, Cai Yong's collection of books is now here with Zhou Shaoyu, although most of them are placed in Chang'an and handed over to Cai Yan to take care of, but those precious lone ancient books are all placed here by Zhou Shaoyu, and when the time comes, how can Ban Gu not love it?

After getting Ban Gu, Zhou Shaoyu is in a good mood, at least this foreshadowing is done properly. It's a pity that the agreed time is three days later, and Zhou Shaoyu still has to wait.

But it doesn't matter, you should continue to cultivate.

The next day, Zhou Shaoyu continued to go fishing by the river with a fishing rod, and the old god continued to wipe out a book to observe.

Today is cloudy, the weather can be described as refreshing, the breeze is gentle, and it is comfortable.

Cao Fengsheng...... (Okay, the author complained, this name is really embarrassing, let's continue to call Cao Xiaogu.) )

Cao Xiaogu had nothing to do, ran out of the house, and saw Zhou Shaoyu fishing by the river from a distance, rolled her eyes, and walked up lightly, ready to be scared, stay close, and fix your eyes!

"After a few days of deep embroidery, it seems that it is humane. One bay of warm jade Lingbo is small, and the two-petal autumn lotus falls lightly. Nanmo has traces of youth, and the west chamber is silent on a moonlit night. Look at the flowers and wet moss, bask in front of the window and take advantage of the sunny ......"

Cao Xiaogu silently recited it in her heart, but she saw that it was not thorough in the clouds, and she continued to look down, and was suddenly stunned.

I saw that the content of the article after the poem was...... It is said that Simon Qing helped the woman to the room, took off her upper and lower clothes, and went naked...... The battle is very happy, the clouds and rain are resting, and the eyes are slanted. Handheld XX......

What follows is even more unsightly!

"Yikes!" Aunt Cao finally reacted and screamed.

Zhou Shaoyu was suddenly frightened, and turned his head to look, but it was Cao Xiaogu's blushing face, raising her hand, and pointing at Zhou Shaoyu with her fingers trembling slightly, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say, and she was stuck.

"Forehead......" Zhou Shaoyu sweated profusely, and he didn't understand what happened. His mind turned sharply, and his face turned pale in an instant, and he said seriously: "You peeked? ”

Aunt Cao was ashamed and annoyed, and subconsciously wanted to run away, but after thinking about it, she didn't do anything wrong, why did she run by herself, and plucked up the courage to make a little face: "Don't call you Mr. anymore!" In broad daylight, you actually look at such ...... Such ...... Hum! ”

In the end, his head was snorted to show his dissatisfaction, and by the way, he was able to hide his blushing face.

"Hey, where do you understand, this book can be called a divine book! Don't look at the appearance of everything, you must know that the eyes can deceive people, how do you know, this book goes up to the high position of the court, down to the ruffians in the market, almost everything, exposing all darkness and evil, but you are still young, it is really not suitable to read these books, and you don't understand it. Zhou Shaoyu said.

Cao Xiaogu didn't believe it, and snorted: "Liar! I read it, and it's clear that the content is so, so ...... Also, I'm not small! ”

"Mm-hmm, I know, that's what kids say." Zhou Shaoyu nodded with a very understanding look.

But my heart is happy, and it is also thanks to Cao Xiaogu's temperament that is far from an unusual woman, at least the current women, there must be no one like Cao Xiaogu. It's quite a bit of a girl in later generations, but there must still be differences. But it doesn't matter, the point is still young, otherwise how could you be so easily hooked.

Sure enough, Aunt Cao was angry and stomped her feet: "After two years, the slave is still young, you see the little mother of the Zhang family, she is married before she is twelve, and now she even has children, where is she still young." ”

Regarding Cao Xiaogu's example, Zhou Shaoyu was noncommittal, in terms of concepts, of course, she does not support women who are too young to marry or even have babies, but the ancient environment is like this, and you can do the same.

The two had a very argument about how young Aunt Cao was, and in the end, Aunt Cao was defeated and ran away with a pout. It wasn't until I returned to my boudoir that I was angry for a long time before I suddenly reacted, obviously I wasn't arguing about this issue at the beginning.

"Ahhh......h

"Dengzi, bad guy!" Cao Xiaogu took out a handkerchief, and while 'cursing' fiercely, she kept pulling the handkerchief hard.

But in the end, I was already uneasy, little girl's family, how could I have seen such a thing before......

PS: Well, I've already said that Liu Xiu is hanging up at all the time points, this is all the Eastern Han Dynasty, how can it be Chen Ajiao and them, the age difference is too far.
