Chapter 92: Rumors and Snowmen
There is no shortage of visionaries in every era.
These visionaries see much more of the future than other ordinary beings, and these people can often lead an era.
Lin Zhao, as a traverser, may not be smarter than other people in this world, but he must have a long-term perspective than people in another world, and it is a matter of course that he can realize the importance of the media, but Lin Jian is different.
As a "local", Lin Jian only saw these pamphlets to see the potential and importance of this new profession in advance, which is what makes him special.
Lin Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then sighed with some emotion: "Seventh Uncle, this is a sharp weapon, it is easy to hurt others and hurt oneself, so you must use it with caution." ”
"Anyway, this thing has to be done first."
Lin Jian put down the teacup in his hand and said: "The most important thing in Chang'an City is smart people, it won't be long before someone discovers this business, we must be one step ahead of others and hold this thing in our hands." ”
"I'm not going to use it to hurt people, but I'm just going to set up a booklet with articles for people all over the world to communicate."
Lin Jian stretched out his hand to add a cup of tea to Lin Zhao, and said with a smile: "This is also what I, the future priest of the country, should do." ”
Lin Zhao took a sip of tea, and then said: "This thing can be done, but after the seventh uncle enters Chang'an, try to find a way to bring this thing under the official office, and the people are not allowed to print and publish current affairs privately, otherwise this thing will easily be used by people to do evil, and the damage will be great." ”
Lin Yuanda nodded solemnly.
"I made a note of it, and when I return to Chang'an, the first thing I will do is to get this thing done, and there will be many places where I need your help from San Lang."
"Nephew's share."
The uncle and nephew talked in the study for most of the hour, and it was not until the evening that Lin Zhao walked out of the garden.
In the next few days, the news that Lin Zhao was going to study in Chang'an City really spread within the Lin family, and some of the angry Lin family members did not dare to go to the garden to find Lin Jian, so they went to the eldest master Lin Sizheng to make noise, and after the noise was fruitless, some people would come to find Lin Zhao's trouble.
Some of them were bad-hearted and threatened to cripple Lin Zhao so that he would never be able to go to Chang'an to study.
Fortunately, Lin Zhao communicated with Lin Jian in advance, and after these news reached Lin Yuanda's ears, the new Grand Master was furious, and immediately announced that if there was another person in the Lin family to find Lin Zhao's trouble, no one in the Lin family would be able to enter Taixue from now on.
With Lin Jian's strong statement, naturally no one in the Lin family dared to come to Lin Zhao's trouble again, but because of this, the Lin family began to spread the news that Lin Zhao was Lin Jian's illegitimate son, and this news spread from the Lin family to Xingwenfang, and even people in several nearby workshops began to spread it.
After learning the news, Lin Yuanda was not angry, and Lin Sizheng, the eldest lord of the Lin family, was already furious.
Readers, the most important reputation, especially when it involves this kind of lace news, it is easy to spread widely, if it spreads to Chang'an City, it will affect Lin Jian's official reputation.
Lin Sizheng thoroughly investigated the family up and down, and finally found out a few children of the Lin family who spread rumors, one of them was still a Xiucai in the middle school a few years ago, and Lord Lin was angry, and directly drove these people out of the Lin family and removed their names from the family tree.
Fortunately, this rumor did not spread particularly widely, and after the Lin family came forward to refute the rumor, it soon ceased.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the fifteenth day of the lunar month of the seventh year of Qiande, and there is only half a month left before the New Year.
Yuezhou City, which did not snow much in previous years, unexpectedly snowed heavily this year, and the entire Yuezhou was covered with a thick layer of snow.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, many shops on the street have closed their doors and are no longer open, and the streets are unusually quiet, and everyone is hiding at home and not going out much.
However, the Xie family in the east of the city, Xie Sanyuan still went out early in the morning, and the lead type he had painstakingly studied these days had made some progress, and Boss Xie was extremely excited, and his mind was on it.
Because of the heavy snowfall, Miss Xie, who was a little afraid of the cold, only went out in the morning to see the snow scene, and then hid back to the stove at home.
Mrs. Xie has even begun to think about moving out of this family next year and changing to a big house.
In the afternoon, Miss Xie was lying by the window of her boudoir, with a stove in her hand, occasionally opening the window to take a look at the snow outside, just when she pushed the window open for the third time, she suddenly heard a sound of rustling outside, Xie Tanran curiously stretched out her head to look, only to see a young man wearing a thick coat, like a hairy bear, waving at Xie Tanran in the heavy snow outside the window.
"Sister Xie!"
At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, fur clothes were the mainstream of winter cold, but I don't know when it began, this kind of clothing made of fur was rejected by the upper class, and they felt that wearing animal skins was worn by barbarians, but Hu clothes, which were hated by many old gentlemen.
Therefore, the upper-class scholars did not wear fur robes very much, and in winter, they generally wore brocade robes, which were filled with silk cotton.
Therefore, in winter, fur clothes have become more clothes worn by people like Lin Zhao, who have a little money but no social status.
At this time, Lin Zhao wore a fur coat and wrapped himself tightly, looking very warm.
"Sister Xie, come out quickly-"
He shouted into Xie Yanran's window in the heavy snow.
Xie Yuran hurriedly closed the window, originally unwilling to deal with Lin Zhao, but thinking that it was still snowing heavily, she gritted her teeth, took out a small jacket from the wardrobe and put it on her body, and turned out an oil-paper umbrella, and broke into the wind and snow after opening the paper umbrella.
She took small steps, walked under her window, and looked at Lin Zhao: "It's snowing so hard, you're not in the house, what are you doing outside?" ”
"If it freezes you, Aunt Lin should be distressed."
Lin Sanlang smiled: "Sister Xie is distressed, is she distressed?" ”
"What am I distressed about?"
Xie Sanran snorted lowly, and was about to pull Lin Zhao into the house to hide from the snow, Lin Sanlang shook his head, grabbed Xie Zhaoran's hand, and pulled her out.
Xie Zhaoran's strength was far less than Lin Zhao's, and he could only be pulled out of the Xie family by Lin Zhao half-pulled, but fortunately, there was no one on the road at this time, Xie Xiangran gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "What are you doing?" ”
"I'll take my sister to see something."
Lin Zhao walked in front and pulled Xie Yuran, and the two of them walked about dozens of steps, and after turning an alley, they came to a clearing.
At this time, half of the snow in this clearing was gathered in one place, and it was piled up into a snowman as tall as a man, and the snowman had two branches as hands, and a large radish was stuck in its head, which became its nose.
In this era, when there is heavy snowfall, some snow lions are usually piled up, and there has never been a snowman, Xie Yuran has never seen this thing, and immediately asked in a daze: "San Lang, what is this?" ”
"It's called a snowman."
Lin Zhao pointed to this snowman who was about the same height as Xie Yuran and said, "This is you, sister, I piled it up for an hour before I piled it up." ”
Xie Yuran tilted his head, looked at this round-headed and round-headed guy curiously, and then frowned slightly.
"What's like me? I'm not that fat..."
Lin Zhao left under Xie Lanran's umbrella, ran into the snow again, and began to roll another snowball, he said while rolling: "Sister is standing here alone and lonely, and I will come out and accompany my sister here." ”
Xie Yanran was holding a paper umbrella at this moment and looking at this tall snowman, and after hearing Lin Zhao's words, her eyes were a little red.
Of course, she understood that Lin Zhao was going to leave after the New Year, so he made this round-headed thing to amuse himself.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve, then threw aside the paper umbrella in her hand, and walked up to Lin Zhao with small steps, exhaling a breath of white air from her mouth.
"I'll help you."
Lin Zhao happily agreed, raised his head and smiled brightly at Xie Xianran.
"Okay."
On this day, in the heavy snow, the young man and girl built another round snowman under a big tree in Yuezhou City.
Early the next morning, the sun broke through the clouds, and the sun shone on the two snowmen in the city of Yuezhou.
Under the sun, two snowmen stood side by side in the clearing, white and flawless, and shining.
