Chapter 21: Meeting in the Book Building (I)

Open the book, the highest and largest pavilion in Beijing except for the opening of the palace stargazing platform. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huizhu stood in a large shadow cast in front of the tall, looked up at the plaque vigorous and powerful, the atmosphere of the "open volume" four words, for a long time, and then shifted his gaze to the door in front of the door two in the wild cursive writing on the door couplet, "the world is collected here, the world is included in the ten thousand volumes."

Every time she comes to the open book, Huizhu will stand outside the door and enjoy the inscription upstairs, and then praise a sentence, and then enter it.

As soon as I entered the building, the noise of the book market outside was immediately cut off from the door, and only the sound of books was turned over the building.

Seeing her come in, the little guy in the hall immediately greeted her, Tianqi has a strong literary style, there are not a few women in the world who can read and break sentences, and there is no girl in the capital who has a little family background, and there is no one who does not study. As the largest in Beijing, it is common for the book to be patronized by women, and it is very natural for the little guy to see Huizhu, and he did not hesitate.

"Girl, are you here to read a book, or are you here to buy a book?" Some of the books in the open volume can be sold, but some can only be viewed in the building and cannot be taken away.

Huizhu was about to answer, when she saw a familiar figure come over, stood in front of her, waved her hand to the little guy, and said, "You go and do your work, she will leave it to me." ”

The little guy had already been instructed by the deacon in the building, and knew that the master behind the man had an extraordinary background, so he retreated with interest.

"Why are you here? The young master has been waiting for a long time! Are you not afraid of the young master's punishment?" That person was none other than Leshui beside Su Jing, who saw Huizhu at this moment, and asked half complaining and half frightened.

"I've got to do what the girl told me first. Su Yunjiao first ordered her to visit Sister Yaozhu, and then asked her to go to Suxiangzhai to get some snow cream by the way, and she came here to open the book after she had done two things, "The young master only made an appointment with the location, but the time was not determined, so he naturally wanted me to be the girl, which also showed that the young master had other things to deal with here." ”

Huizhu glanced at him and said lightly: "So you don't have to scare me with this." ”

It seems that the young master and others would waste half a day for them in vain?

Leshui choked, Huizhu was right, Su Xun did have other things to do, and let Huizhu come here to meet, but it was just by the way.

"Okay, okay, don't say anything else, the young master is upstairs, you can go up with me first!"

Leshui's words sounded a little impatient, but in fact, they were to hide their embarrassment, Huizhu smiled secretly in her heart, nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

Open the book, there are nine floors, the higher the floor, the fewer people, everyone below the third floor can enter, the fourth to fifth floors can only be entered by those who have meritorious fame, the sixth and seventh floors, the famous Confucian can enter, and if you want to enter the eighth floor, you need to crack the three levels set up to enter it. These three levels are placed in the middle of the lobby on the first floor, and everyone can challenge them, but unfortunately there are very few people who can break these three levels since the opening of the building, and even the most famous four sons in Beijing have also been defeated before.

As for the ninth floor, it is said to be the place where the master lives, and the books and scrolls in it are precious ancient books that have only been heard of in rumors and have not even left a name in the world, and if you want to enter the ninth layer, in addition to cracking the three levels, you need the master to see it well.

At this time, the eighth layer of the book was opened, and it was in the small room.

Two men were in it, one in white, holding a pen like flying, concentrating on writing something, the other casually leaning on a rocking chair covered with fox skin cushions, holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand, and standing behind him with a soft and delicate retinue.

The room is very quiet, and you can hear the sound of a very light pen and the sound of turning books from time to time. After a long time, the man sitting in the rocking chair turned another page of the book, and did not continue to look down, but put down the book in his hand, closed his eyes, took a break, and smiled at the man in white in front of the case: "Jingshan, why don't you rest for a while?"

When the man in white heard this, he didn't stop writing the pen in his hand, and he didn't raise his head and said lightly: "If Your Highness is tired, you can rest by yourself, and it won't be too late for me to finish writing this." ”

The man didn't take his refusal to heart, as if he had expected him to say this, but just smiled, got up and walked to his side, picked up the book he had left on the desk, which had been turned to the last few pages, closed it gently, glanced at the title of the book on the cover, and smiled even more at the corner of his mouth: "You have gone up to this eighth floor, so you are here to study these books? If the person upstairs knew about it, wouldn't he be angry?"

The man in white took a pen in his hand, and finally raised his head, the helplessness in the corner of his eyes was mixed with a soft smile, and said: "Jiaojiao likes to read these words, but some of the words in them are really indecent, so I had to change it and watch it with her again." ”

The man in white is Su Xun, and Jingshan is the word that Lin Xuanqing left for him before he resigned and went to Jiangnan to retire.

"Ha," said the man with a smile, "why don't you write a book for her, why bother to change it? ”

Su Xun rubbed the corners of his forehead, clicked on the few books piled up on the desk, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't embarrass me, this writing book, the text and ink are only secondary, the important thing is the twists and turns in the plot, it seems that this kind of entanglement and grievances and grievances are like this kind of love (harmony) love story, I really can't make it up." ”

"There are still things you can't do. "That person is the prince of the dynasty, but at the moment he is lazy and idle, but he can't see the nobility of being a royal family of the heavenly family, "Changning also loves to see these, and often begs me to secretly bring a few copies to her from outside the palace, so I have also read some, it is nothing more than the affection of some talented and beautiful people, divided and combined, although there are thousands of volumes, but it is a way to think about it." You've copied so many copies, you really can't make up one?"

Su Xun shook his head and said, "If you like it, you will gather, if you don't like it, you will disperse, why bother." If you can't be together because of external forces, it's understandable, if you're right and happy, how can you have so many branches? And those who disobey their parents because of temporary pleasure are even more undesirable, and if they are with the right person, it's okay to pay it back, but I look at it, the men in the book are really not a good match. ”

Su Xun said seriously, but Jun Ziqi was helpless when he heard it, and finally sighed and said: "Hey, no wonder that senior said that you have no wife and no children in your life." ”

Su Xun raised his eyebrows: "I have no wife and no children, but I am pure." ”

"Purity is purity, but, isn't it lonely?" asked Jun Ziqi.

"Lonely?" Su Xun smiled, "I have parents, brothers, Jiaojiao, and a group of friends like you, how can I be lonely?"

Jun Ziqi looked at him with a warm smile, with a hint of warm eyes, and asked, "What if one day we are gone?"

Su Xun was stunned, and said with a smile: "Pine and bamboo are friends, green mountains and green waters are companions, but they are also happy." ”

"That's right, that's fine. "This is also a good choice, although people can't last long, there are always long-lasting things in heaven and earth, even if I don't know if those are really long-lasting, but for people who have a short lifespan of only a hundred years, it is enough.

Jun Ziqi shook his head and held his forehead: "Why did you talk about this? Or do you want to say something else, for example, are you going to the birthday banquet of the Duke of Dingguo?"

Seeing that he didn't let go of himself at all, Su Xun had no choice but to put down the pen in his hand and replied: "Qi Xuan sends an invitation to my Huangcui Center every day, how can I not go." ”

If he didn't agree, Qi Xuanfei would spread the secret relationship between the obscure sixth prince of the Wenchang Marquis Mansion and the prince of Dingguo all over the city, and he was not afraid, he was only afraid that he would become the big tree that attracted the wind, causing suspicion among people and hindering the prince's side.

Jun Ziqi smiled: "He's just angry that you just swap two paintings for his beloved things." ”

"That's not just two paintings. ”

Jun Zi was interested and asked, "What, what's the mystery here?"

"I didn't know it at the birthday banquet. Su Xun didn't tell him, but said, "The Duke of Dingguo is the hero of the country, and the emperor will definitely give him a birthday gift for his old man's 60th birthday, and then send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to celebrate his birthday." ”

"Oh, then I'll wait to see the mystery in the painting. By saying this, Jun Zi admitted that he would definitely be there on the day of the Dingguo Gong's birthday banquet, "It's just that the third emperor brother is also going to go this time." ”

"Third prince, did the emperor mean it, or did he ask for it himself?" asked Su Xun.

Jun Ziqi said: "He asked for it himself, and my father agreed." ”

Su Xun thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The purpose of his trip should be for the eldest lady of the Qi family, I heard that Concubine Zhong had a very happy conversation with the second lady of Qi, and intended to marry the eldest lady of the Qi family as the third prince's concubine." ”

When Jun Ziqi heard this, the smile in his eyes was a little playful: "The heart of the second room of the Qi family is big, and on the one hand, he wants to climb my side, and on the other hand, he wants to win over the third emperor brother." It's a pity that Dingguo Gong will not let them get their wish. ”

"Your Highness is good if you understand. Su Xun smiled and said, "Compared with the third prince, I am now more concerned about the movements of the Bai family, the emperor ordered the third uncle to be the main general, and the uncle of the Bai family to go to the Huai River to pacify the water bandits, so that the purpose of the Bai family has been achieved." ”

Originally, he still gave it a go, he was worried about victory or defeat, and he didn't want the emperor to appoint Gu Xiuluan as a general, so even if he lost, there was the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in front, and the risk of the Bai family was much smaller, not to mention that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was not a waste of fame, and it was really easy to clean up this little bandit.

As for the third prince, he will not turn the Bai family away because the Bai family has not made achievements in this battle, what he wants is the determination of the Bai family and the soldiers in the hands of the Bai family. The Bai family has shown their determination this time, but as for the merits of those soldiers, they are not within the scope of the three princes' inspections, after all, for the three princes, it is always easier to train soldiers than to recruit them.

Jun Ziqi didn't seem to care: "Don't worry about the three emperor brothers' side for the time being, the more they jump, the better." ”

Su Xun knew his thoughts and said: "It's good to let the emperor take action in person, but you can't let it go like this, it's better to order someone to keep an eye on the movements over there." ”

Jun Ziqi nodded in agreement: "Then let the 'Skynet' keep an eye on them." Speaking of this, Junzi Jufu remembered something again, and asked Su Xun: "By the way, the 'Sky Net', the driving force behind the Huaihe bandits, has eyebrows?"

"Yes, the appearance of Qiu Shisan, the current leader of the Huaihe water bandits of the 'Skynet' saucer, is very similar to the former famous general Ying Qiufu of Western Shu. Su Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, "The driving force behind it is undoubtedly the remnants of Xishu." ”

The corners of Junzi's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "The princess of Xishu is indeed a strange woman, who can gather those relics of Xishu who are either fleeing or hiding, and can also occupy the territory of the Huai River little by little, this means is not weaker than that of men." If she had been born ten years earlier, it would not have been so easy for her to die in Xishu. ”

"She controls the Huai River, does she want to use the Huai River as a base to restore her Xishu?"

Su Xun shook her head with a smile: "I'm afraid this is just a trick for her, her real purpose should be something else." ”

Jun Zi Jue's eyes froze and asked, "Who is the picture?"

"North Pasture. ”

Jun Zi was about to ask again, but the attendant who had been standing silently in the corner of the small room with a delicate and feminine face suddenly spoke, and his voice was high-pitched: "Master, someone has come up." ”
