Chapter 120: The Library
"Dad, why did we move from Bianjing to the Daimyo's Mansion?"
Looking at the bustling street market outside the window, on the clean and wide avenue, the young Lu You sat in the carriage and seemed to understand his father's approach.
"You'er, Wang Xianggong is in the Daimyo's Mansion, and his father came to the Daimyo's Mansion at the invitation of Uncle Zhu, and his father has admired Wang Xianggong for a long time. After that, we'll settle here, okay? ”
Yes, why did I come to the Daimyo's Mansion, it was not because the prosperity was exhausted, and the yellow leaves were piled up all over the ground. The change of Jingkang, the southward migration of the Song Dynasty, the fall of Jingdong into the hands of the Jin people, tossing and turning, the family road is in the middle, if you don't come to this famous mansion, where can you go?
"The Daimyo's Mansion is cleaner than Tokyo City, and it's much more lively, so you can study here with peace of mind, so don't ask questions!"
Seeing her husband's embarrassed face, his wife Tang made a face on the side and taught her ignorant son a lesson.
"Mother, I know!"
The sensible Lu You said obediently on the side.
What is the family like, his father's long sighs, and six-year-old Lu You also knows something. Since receiving the letter from Hebei, my father has been radiant, resolutely sold his property, and came to Hebei with his mother and him.
"Dad, Wang Xianggong, nicknamed "Saibawang", is a hero of the world. If you work under him, it will be smooth sailing!"
"You'er, then Dad will borrow your auspicious words!"
Lu Zai laughed, his son was already so sensible at such a young age, and he made him laugh in an instant.
"You'er, that's a good point!"
Seeing that her husband was happy, Tang's face immediately softened, she patted her son's face, and said softly:
"Our Lu family is a famous family, and your ancestor is a jinshi during the Dazhong Xiangfu period, and the official is in the Ministry of Langzhong; Your grandfather studied under Wang Wenzhenggong, and the official was the right scholar. Your father also served as the deputy envoy of Jingxi Road, and he was in a high position. If it weren't for the imperial court's move to the south, our Lu family would not have been down. You have to fight for breath, and we have to remember our Lu family! ”
Lu You nodded and said, "Mother, I remember!"
Lu Zai shook his head lightly, and said to his wife dissatisfiedly: "You'er is still a child, what do you do to him?"
"Official, the prince invited you to come, I don't know what position you hold"
Tang Shi diverted the topic and asked about her husband's official position.
"Zhu Gong's letter said that he is the director of the Zhonghua Library, and I don't know exactly what the official position is."
Lu Zai was also a little puzzled. Zhu Meng said that he was just invited to come, saying that he was the director of the library, but he did not explain in detail.
However, Zhu Meng said that he was a good friend, talented, honest and upright, and what he introduced to himself should not be an errand that does not enter the stream.
"Official, Zhu Meng said that he is a celebrity under the command of Wang Xianggong, and he is hot, you have to seize the opportunity! Our Lu family, but we all rely on you to revitalize our family! ”
Tang's face was full of joy. Her husband is making a comeback, her son is smart and smart, and she is full of hope for a new life.
Speaking of which, those monarchs and ministers of the Zhao and Song royal families are really not things. only cared about his own life, and left them all behind.
"Dad, isn't that the Chung Hwa Library?"
Lu You, who was on the side, had sharp eyes and recognized the signboard in front of a building on the street at a glance.
Lu Zai was stunned for a moment and looked up. Sure enough, a three-story building full of glass windows, Zhumen and Zhuhu, classical and dignified, there is a huge stone lion on the left and right of the door, tiger and tiger. On the main entrance of the first floor, there are several big characters of "Chinese Library".
Lu Zai hurriedly stopped the carriage, got out of the car, looked at the crowd coming in and out, and looked carefully. While he was wondering, a group of people got out of several carriages coming in front of him, and one of them hurried forward to meet him.
"Brother Lu, everything is busy, and I missed the hour. I was about to pick you up at the ferry, but I didn't expect you to arrive, forgive me, forgive me!"
Lu Zai smiled, hurriedly stepped forward, and talked to the person who came, making him very affectionate, and his heart was full of surprises.
"Brother Xian, you and my brother, why do you want to see the outside like this. Hebei has good public security, and the merchants are all children who are not bullied. I saw that it was still early, so I went into the city by myself, and I wanted to travel first!"
The career was frustrated, and Lu Zai was also cautious, with a smile on his face. Besides, this Zhu Meng said that he is a sincere person, he is so down, and the other party can still remember himself, just this share of charcoal in the snow is already grateful.
"Brother Lu, I'm really ashamed, ashamed! Hello sister-in-law, this is my prodigy nephew."
Zhu Meng laughed, and when he saw the Tang mother and son getting off the carriage, he apologized again and again.
"Brother Zhu, in the future in the Daimyo's Mansion, I will have to take care of you more!"
Tang laughed softly, came up to give a salute, and pulled his son forward to greet him.
Zhu Mengshu waved his hand, and the entourage behind hurriedly came up, Zhu Meng said a few words, turned his head, and smiled.
"Brother Lu, the luggage will be transported back to the Xuanfu Division first. Let's go to the museum to meet Wang Xianggong first, and I'll take you on a tour of the Daimyo's Mansion when I go back!"
Lu Zai couldn't help but be taken aback, and blurted out: "Brother Xian, Wang Xianggong is also here"
"Xianggong came here early in the morning, saying that he wanted to experience it in the library."
Lu Jae nodded. The thought of seeing this famous Wang Tiegun made me nervous inexplicably.
"My nephew has seen my uncle!"
Lu You stepped forward, polite, and saluted Zhu Meng.
"Sure enough, after the famous family, I will be happy when I see the prince and the princess!"
Several people entered the library, and when they saw countless bound books on the shelves, Lu Zai's eyes couldn't help but widen.
"So many books, how can they all be arranged like this, so many books are exactly the same"
Seeing that the new books were all exactly the same, arranged upright, and those "librarians" in official uniforms walking around and inspecting, Lu Zai couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Brother Lu didn't know that this library is divided into two floors, the first floor is for selling books to the people, and the second floor is for borrowing books. Buying and borrowing books is very cheap, like this Chu Ci, it only costs 20 yuan, and ordinary people can afford it, let alone wealthy families. ”
Zhu Mengshu picked up a temporary new Chu Ci and handed it to Lu Zai.
Lu Zai nodded, opened the book, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are these books all lined horizontally, from left to right?"
Zhu Meng said with a smile: "Not only that, but between the articles in the book, punctuation marks are also added, which is easy to read and convenient!" Don't hide it from Brother Lu, edit these books, and Brother Fool has also made a contribution!"
Zhu Meng said with a smug smile.
Not only is the book written horizontally on the left, but even the official documents in the government and the army, the students in the school write, and the Xuanfu Division also advocates the horizontal left beginning. At the moment, although the results have not been modest, the change has already begun.
Especially those students, who are young and receptive, have the most obvious changes. Maybe in twenty or thirty years, the horizontal row starts from the left, and the punctuation marks will be popularized.
Lu Zai nodded, looked at a few lines, nodded, and said with emotion:
With this punctuation, the article is indeed much easier to read. What is especially true is that there are so many books and the prices are so low, that thousands of children from poor families can read them. Brother Xian, you have done a great good deed, benefiting the country and the people! ”
"It's all the credit of the prince, and the foolish brother is just attached to him."
Zhu Meng said with a smile, but his heart was refreshing.
"Brother Lu, here in the future, you will return to Brother Lu, you have worked hard, and today you can be regarded as familiar with the environment. The Xuanfu Division wants to set up many such libraries in the land of the two rivers, with large places and small places. Brother Lu, you have to arrest this mess! ”
Lu Zai was taken aback and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhu Xian, aren't you going to tire out the foolish brother!"
Although he said this, Lu Zai's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Brother Lu doesn't have to be too humble."
Zhu Meng said: "In addition to various states and counties, there are also schools, and there must be libraries. The state and county markets can be bought and rented, but the schools can only be rented by students. Brother Lu, your position, the most important thing, is recommended by me, you must hold on! ”
Lu Zai nodded frequently, and said yes again and again.
"Wang Xianggong's move has benefited countless children of the poor family, and the merits are immeasurable, and the benefits are in the future! Don't worry, Brother Fool should do his best not to disappoint Brother Xian and Prince Wang!"
The Tang family next to him was smiling, it seemed that her husband was prosperous in official luck, otherwise Jitai was here.
She looked around and suddenly exclaimed, "You'er, why is he gone?"
Lu Zai was also taken aback, and the books in his hand fell to the ground.
"Don't worry, look for it, if it's not on the first floor, it's definitely on the second floor, where books can be read freely."
Zhu Meng said that he was calm. In this Daimyo's Mansion, under his nose, if there is a child theft, Xuanfu Si will not be laughed off.
"Brother Xian, let's go upstairs and have a look."
After all, Lu Zai has seen the world, so he is not too alarmed.
Zhu Meng said that he took Lu Zai and his wife and went upstairs.
"Your name is Lu You, and your father is Lu Zai, so your mother's surname must be Tang"
On the stool on the second floor, Wang Song looked at the little boy who was flipping through the books and asked with a smile.
From the glass window on the second floor, everything on the street can be seen clearly, Zhu Meng said that he would naturally not miss the encounter with Lu Zai.
Zhu Meng said that he recommended Lu Zai to him, and after some inquiry, he knew the details of Lu Zai. And the little boy in front of him is the famous Lu Fangweng in history.
"Yes, but how do you know my father, this is the first time we have come to the Daimyo's Mansion."
Lu You was polite, neither humble nor arrogant, blinking his two dark eyes.
Wang Song shook his head secretly, who doesn't know your mother. In history, if it weren't for your mother who broke up you and that cousin Tang Wan, how could there be that hairpin phoenix in the world that could be passed down through the ages.
"Lu You, I said two lines of poetry, can you say it?"
Wang Song couldn't help but be curious, and wanted to explore this historical person to see if he was so magical.
"I can't say it right now, it'll be fine in a few years."
"Try it. The dead Yuan knows that everything is empty, but the sorrow is not the same as Kyushu. You come to the next two sentences, if it comes out, I will send you a set of Chinese books. ”
"Thank you, but the gentleman is not subject to the food that comes to me, and I will not ask for your things."
Lu You lowered his little head, thought hard, and whispered something in his mouth.
Zhu Meng said that he and Lu Zai and his wife came upstairs, and Zhu Meng said that he was just about to come forward to speak, but Wang Song shook his head and stopped him.
"When Wang Shi drove Ma Yanyun, the grave paper turned to ashes and butterflies flew."
In a moment, Lu You came out.
Wang Song couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at the five or six-year-old boy in front of him. Lu You, who is "an eternal man", is really worthy of his name.
"Okay, talented and ambitious!"
Wang Song applauded lightly and said loudly: "What a little Lu You, twenty years later, this world will be yours!"
Zhu Meng came up, touched the top of Lu You's head, and said with a smile: "Lu You, do you know who he is, he is the prince of the king, the minister of the loyal army."
This time it was Lu You's turn to widen his eyes.
"You are Wang Xianggong, Wang Tiegun, seven steps of poems on the main hall, "scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before" "Saibawang"
Wang Song's face was hot. The plagiarist met the true God, which can only be said to be a mockery of history.
