Chapter 7: Destiny in the Garden (1)

"Auntie, there have been a lot of strangers coming and going in the village lately. Wang Jue knew what Wang Siyuan wanted to tell her, this kid monkey spirit.

"I think it's because the record left when buying slaves is exposed, otherwise they can't find it with their skills. We haven't done anything wrong, and we're not afraid of being investigated. Then he added: "The slaves, though they have been carefully chosen, should be observed for a while." Our family foundation is thin, and the rules must be clearer. ”

Wang Jue has already lived in a house near the official road, and the slaves he bought are also separated from Wang Baojin and them. She thought that the second brother was the head of the family after all, and if she did everything for him, it would hurt him. With her reminding her, and Wang Siyuan helping to come up with ideas, his second brother should be able to adapt to his current life as much as possible.

"Yes, my nephew knows. The book house was almost finished, so I went over to see how the plaque was doing. ”

Wang Jue saw Wang Siyuan's measured demeanor, and secretly admired it in his heart. With just two months of leisure time teaching, you can make such great progress, in which understanding and emotional intelligence are indispensable.

After Wang Siyuan went out, Wang Jue began to close her eyes and recall her three trips to Chang'an.

Since the first time he went to Xishi, Wang Jue found that there were a group of people who took turns to follow them. That time, by sending the unlucky ghost to the infirmary, they took a different route to escape. They had only been to Yamen and Jinyufang, and she was not sure who those people were.

The second time I went to sell paper, the number of people who followed me increased a bit. Wang Jue went to buy a slave earlier than planned, just to leave personal information as bait and see how long the other party could find it.

Unexpectedly, a stranger appeared in the village that night, and the other party was not far from the court. A merchant like Jin Yufang doesn't have the ability to get the file of the slave shop so quickly. She recalled her statement when she reported the crime, and there was no problem! The bookstore had not yet opened, how could they notice her at this time?

No matter how big Wang Jue's brain hole was, he didn't dare to think about the opening of a store by Empress Changsun, after all, the ancient monarchs and ministers paid attention to not competing with the people. In this case, how did the famous virtuous queen in history open a jewelry store?

This incident stems from the Weishui Alliance incident that happened a few months ago. When Jieli Khan heard that Li Shimin had killed his eldest brother and a nephew and put his father under house arrest, he specially brought 100,000 people over to celebrate (rob). To say that Li Shimin is also a bitter man, he finally succeeded in usurping the throne, and the chair under his butt has not yet sat firmly, so he encountered this kind of bad thing. He was not rich in the first place, and he spent all the things left over from the previous dynasty. In order to stabilize the political situation, he almost emptied the treasury to feed the robbers, and almost took off his pants to others.

Look at the skirt that can't reach your feet, and then look at the leaky palace, and go to the sea decisively.

The Datang folks are not stupid, they know that the boss's wife opens a store, and every family goes to the party, which is why there is a hot business in Jinyufang.

Of course, this kind of interaction between upper-level people is not something that Wang Jue can know about at present.

couldn't figure it out, so Wang Jue threw it away. Stretch out and keep writing.

In the past two months, Wang Jue has used new paper to write 17 books, including "The Book of Rites", "Zuo Chuan", "Book of Songs", "Zhou Li", "Rites", "Zhou Yi", "The Legend of the Ram", "The Biography of Gu Liang", "The Book of Filial Piety", "The Analects", "Shuowen", "Zilin", "Hanshu", "Later Hanshu", "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Liezi". Wang Baojin and Wang Siyuan also helped copy the books written by Wang Jue in their spare time, and now there are more than one book. But compared to the upcoming crowd, books are certainly not enough. I can only wait for the scholars to come over and let everyone copy it together.

Wang Jue pondered that she should find a suitable opportunity to get movable type printing out.

Compared with Wang Jue's increasingly clear mood, Li Shimin has been uncertain these days. The relationship between these two people is so different, it is all caused by one thing, Wang Jue's bookstore is open to the public.

"Erlang, why is it so difficult?" The virtuous Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but speak, she couldn't see Li Shimin frowning the most.

Li Shimin handed the letter in his hand to the eldest grandson, and the secret agent described at length the situation in the letter in the past few days since the bookstore was opened.

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't guess what her husband was thinking, she chuckled after reading the letter, and said, "Erlang, maybe that little lady has a special chance." ”

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and then instructed the chamberlain: "Call Cheng Yanjin and Kong Yingda to come over." ”

For several days in a row, he had to face Kong Yingda's old face of pretending to be resentful, Li Shimin felt a pain in his liver when he thought about it, so let him go over and take a look. was afraid that the old man was in danger, so he was equipped with a Zhongnanhai bodyguard. Look, what a touching friendship between kings and ministers!

"You two go to the bookstore and see ....... ”

Li Shimin stood in place in a daze, a little unable to react. Why did the two of them run away in the blink of an eye? He hadn't finished his sentence yet! Don't blame him for exaggerating his description, this group of people chirping around him all day long, and he couldn't get used to it being so easy to get rid of!

"Erlang, let's eat. Empress Eldest Sun has always understood her husband's thoughts, looking at Li Shimin's stunned expression, she couldn't help but laugh and changed the topic.

Let's talk about the two who left together. Kong Yingda, who is usually slow and reasonable, is in the wind at this time, and since he got the news the day before yesterday, he has sent his family to the bookstore to investigate. I heard that the school reads books for free, I heard that the paper used for books is thick and durable, and I heard that a group of readers gathered there in just two days. These things made Old Man Kong's heart itch. If it weren't for the Holy Order, he would have put on his wings and flown over!

"You and me, can we ride forward?" Kong Yingda said.

"Cheng!" Cheng Biting Jin is a bold person, you let him make a sedan chair to kill him.

Two horses were ushered in on the official road, and the big man in the back kept chasing the old man in front, shouting while chasing: "Kong sacrifice wine, slow down!"

Good guy, Kong Yingda is going to die if he wants paper! If this old man falls out of a bad way, he will be drowned by the spitting stars of the world's scholars!

Neither of them noticed that they were far behind a pony who was a young man who had not yet reached the crown. Unbeknownst to the boy, he also had a small tail behind him.

Got itβ€”, Kong Yingda saw the courtyard next to the official road, and began to slow down from a distance.

There were a lot of readers gathered around the bookstore, or three or five friends sitting on the ground, or holding papers like crazy, Kong Yingda didn't want to ride a horse to break into the atmosphere of destruction.

Cheng Yanjin saw Kong Yingda slow down, his heart was a little calm, and he wiped a cold sweat. Grandma's, never go out alone with this old madman again!

"General Cheng, why are you so slow?"

Cheng bit Jin so hung that he vomited a mouthful of blood! Does he dare to speed up? If he catches up, the old madman will not have to run even more like he wants to run wildly!

"Kong Saijiu, it's almost noon, let's go in quickly!" the saint hurriedly announced him, and he didn't even eat lunch. I was scared all the way by Old Man Kong again, and I was depressed to death.

As soon as the two of them led their horses to the vicinity, a boy came up to them.

"Two Langjun, please follow me to store the horses. The two glanced at each other, and followed the boy towards the north side of the book. This boy's name is Zhou Zhi, and he is the son of the cook, and he has recently come over to help.

The two followed Zhou Zhi to put the horses into the stable, and after Zhou Zhi locked the door of the stable, he handed them the keys respectively.

"When you come back later, just lock the door yourself, and insert the key into the lock hole as you go. "This kind of self-service makes the two of them feel very novel, what a good idea!

"Xiao Langjun, are you a helper here?" Old Man Kong began to talk.

"I am a servant of the king's wife. Zhou Zhi replied with his chest puffed.

Isn't a servant just a slave? The Wang family is not a big family, so what is there to be proud of?

As soon as he saw Cheng Biting Jin's expression, Zhou Zhi knew what he meant, he was not the first person to show such an expression.

"My family used to be a farmer, and my family didn't eat meat a few times a year. This year's year is not good, and it has fallen to the point where the whole family is selling themselves. Wang Niangzi is benevolent, she not only teaches A-Niang cooking, but also makes everyone full and clothed. Now the life of our servants is better than that of those who have land and land! The lady knew that I wanted to read, and she specially compiled two books of enlightenment. When Zhou Zhi said this, his voice was a little proud, and he was a little choked.

"The little lady is benevolent, am I lucky enough to read the two enlightenment books?" Kong Yingda heard that Wang Jue was also compiling books, and immediately increased his interest.

The name of the book house is Suiyuan, which can also be transliterated as Suiyuan. On the long wooden boards on both sides of the gate is engraved a couplet: let the crane go to find the three island guests, and let people come to see the flowers at four o'clock.

Kong Yingda shouted hello and stepped into the threshold with pride.

Cheng Biting Jin doesn't matter what poetry couplets, his mind is full of flower water!

Seeing Cheng and Kong enter the courtyard, Li Chengqian dared to approach quietly. Afraid of being bumped into by the two, he decided to mess with the scholars outside first.

"Your Highness!" Li Chengqian turned around stiffly, why did his attendant follow?
