Chapter 43: On the Essence of Gossip
Yu Qi followed Xiao Zhuo, wooden and woody, as if he didn't know where to put his hand. And Xiao Zhuo kept throwing the white eyes of Yu Qi, but there was a trace of imperceptible affection in those white eyes.
Yao'er smiled and said secretly: This pair of little enemies have come to an end, and they are finally going to be done.
Yao'er hurried to catch up and stop the two. That Yu Qizi's body was clever, as if he was doing something wrong, and he was caught by someone, and said, "Yes...... It's Brother Haruka...... Sister Haruka! ”
Yao'er asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Yu Qigan smiled: "Oh, I'll accompany Xiao Zhuo to buy some dry goods from the wine shop...... By the way, I'm looking for you...... We...... I want to treat you to dinner and thank you for your help to Xiao Zhuo. ”
Yao'er said: "These days, you and Xiaozhuo, and Aunt Mu have taken good care of me, and I should help out, besides, you have to work hard to save money." ”
Yu Qi was puzzled: "What am I saving money for?" ”
Yao'er smiled and said to Xiao Zhuonunu: "Save money and wait to marry the bride, you are not in a hurry, maybe Aunt Mu should be in a hurry." You better work harder, hurry up and marry me a sister-in-law and come back...... ”
Xiao Zhuo's face was full of shyness, and he covered his mouth with his sleeves: "Dead Yao'er...... Bad Yao'er! ”
Many people have crossed the border with thousands of sails before they know how to love someone. Xiao Zhuo almost missed those right loves because he didn't know how to love. Fortunately, now Ning Xiaozhuo already knows who the real beloved.
"I'll invite you to dinner! Take you guys to a good place! Yao'er laughed, and couldn't help but pull Xiao Zhuo forward, and Yu Qizi followed behind the two beauties.
The three of them came to the City Gate Restaurant together. This city gate restaurant is very distinctive, it is the old city wall left after the expansion of Lin'an City, and diners can watch from the column in the restaurant and feel the beacon fire of the year.
Seeing that they were about to approach the gate, suddenly a horseback team galloped in, and even in the midst of this bustling pedestrian street, this team did not slow down at all, and for a time those who walked, carried burdens, drove donkeys to carry goods, and pushed wheelbarrows, were all overwhelmed by the impact of wolves.
Just when the horse team was still a few feet away from Yao'er, she turned her head, and the two naughty children were still playing in the streets, not aware of the great danger that was coming.
Without any consideration, Yao'er rushed forward with an arrow step, like a swimming dragon, turned into an afterimage, flexibly shuttled through the crowd, grabbed a child in front of him, pounced to the side, and the wind-like horse team galloped over.
At this critical moment, only one person can be saved.
Just when Yao'er thought that another child would die under the horse's hooves, she looked up and saw a man in brocade, peerless, with Nana in his arms, holding another child, this man gestured, showing elegance and refinement.
The man bowed his hand to Haruka and dispersed with the crowd......
This city gate restaurant is a lively place in Lin'an, it is noon at this time, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, the restaurant opens the door to welcome the guests and the aroma of the meal into the curtain, tempting Yao'er to salivate, not to mention the foodie Yu Qi.
Just as the three of Yao'er were waiting for the food to be served, at this moment, a middle-aged woman in ordinary clothes rubbed over with a baby in her arms like a thief, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want a book?" It's all because the secretary office has not reviewed the pass guò. ”
(This scene feels familiar, warm, and touching for a while!) If someone has had this experience, they will raise their heads again and ask with infinite tenderness, "Is it Japanese or Western?" "It's even more flavorful...... Far away, hehe. )
After Tian Qiniang ascended the throne, the literati slandered her as Si Chen, who would be stinking for 10,000 years and forever spurned. And the sharpest means of the literati is to write books and speak and publicize them everywhere.
A generation of female owl Tian Qi Niang also has her own means, although it will not rise **, but she also set up a secretary office under the Wenqu Palace, which is responsible for reviewing and distributing the text of the book that circulates in the territory of Qi State, and only the articles and books reviewed by the Gu ò Department are allowed to be published in the world.
Therefore, in today's terms, it is impossible to review articles such as the depiction of body art, the aesthetic rendering of violence, and the reform and construction without the permission of Qi Niangjun. But no matter what world or era, people always have a jaw-dropping love for sex, violence, politics, or romantic and beautiful petty bourgeoisie, so naturally some underground booksellers have emerged.
Extremely anti-government politics and calligraphy, generally no bookseller dares to touch it, this is a big crime to rob the house and kill the head. However, Fengyue novels such as Yiqing Array were copied in large quantities, and entered the hands of the literati Meiji, the eldest daughter-in-law and the little lady, who needed it through different channels.
The aunt holding the child is undoubtedly the last link in this distribution channel.
In the whole Lin'an, everyone has long been accustomed to watching this kind of scene, and no one will make a fuss, even the secretary office will turn a blind eye, not to mention the ordinary people who love these gossip carefully.
"Do you want good books?" The aunt who sold the forbidden book repeated it again. Yu Qi and Xiao Zhuo have lived in Lin'an for a long time, and they have long been surprised by the phenomenon of promoting "entertainment newspapers and periodicals". This was the first time Yao'er had come into contact, but it aroused her curiosity, she smiled and asked, "What books are there?" ”
The middle-aged woman changed the child's hand and took out a large open book about four inches square from her arms.
"The most popular novel in Lin'an City recently." The middle-aged woman said mysteriously.
Yao'er took the book, naturally she didn't take the other party's pretense and mystery in her eyes, she smiled and turned the page...... Then his face suddenly became very exciting.
The book has no name on the cover, but there are four big characters written on the title page: "Dream of the Red Mansion - The Story of a Man and a Group of Women".
Turning another page, I saw the following text introduction: "Who knew that this daughter-in-law had a natural interest, and once the man was close to him, he felt that his muscles and bones were paralyzed, making the man like lying on a ......"
Yao'er opened her mouth wide, unable to speak for a long time, and the roots of her ears were a little red. These text descriptions are "deadly killers" for young women and girls in the boudoir, and it is conceivable that they must love this book.
The middle-aged woman thought that this beautiful girl was excited, and laughed in a low voice: "This is just a small section of the text, the wonderful is still to come, you know......"
didn't even pay back the price, Yao'er took out the copper coin to pay the bill, and she didn't feel distressed at all, looking extremely luxurious and refreshing.
Yu Qi licked his face and wanted to borrow a look, but without waiting for Yao'er to answer, Xiao Zhuo had already said: "Yao'er, you are really, and you don't know how to avoid it, and buy these unsightly things on the street." ”
Hearing Xiao Zhuo's words, Yu Qi was helpless, forcibly held back his curiosity, and pretended to be a decent gentleman to show that he had drawn a clear line with Yao'er.
Yao'er just smiled slightly, and didn't explain much.
There are a lot of people in the restaurant, but the second floor where the three of Yao'er sit is very quiet. Yao'er glanced at Yu Qi, whose eyes were full of bones, smiled slightly, and did not avoid others, and directly handed the red pages book in his hand to him.
"Look at it, what can you see?" Haruka smiled.
Yu Qi was like catching a hot potato, and seeing that Xiao Zhuo was not angry, he quickly flipped through a few pages, and he read it very seriously, very carefully, and very attentively...... Then, he slowly raised his head and said to Yao'er:
"Sister Haruka, I can't read or write......"
Yao'er was deeply thundered, this guy is illiterate, and he still looks so good.
"What do you think of the book's packaging?" asked Haruka.
"It's beautiful on the outside, but it's so rough on the inside!" Yu Qi replied.
Yao'er explained: "This is the strength of pirates, content is king, attracting people with the fragrance of gossip, making a lot of money with a small capital, and people who buy it are still happy and relishing!" ”
"Then you still buy it?" Xiao Zhuo muttered.
"Because I was so interested in it, I found that I could get a new job." The corners of Yao'er's mouth smiled secretly, and her eyes like light water looked extraordinarily clear.
