The sun is shining, the air is fresh, the evening breeze is light, and the river is murmuring.

At sunset, there were a few pampas mats on the ground, and several people sat around the river beach.

Inside a special pottery barbecue grill, the charcoal fire is red, and there are skewers with fish, shrimp and crabs on the grill.

Shui gently holds a skewer of grilled shrimp and eats it in small bites.

Next to her sat her best friend Gongsun Beiyan, who was also holding a string of crabs in her hand to eat.

And next to Chen Xu, the big-handed coachman also grabbed a few skewers and ate a mouthful full of oily juice, and a big sword was thrown on the grass, looking like an ordinary farmer.

"My Gongsun clan was born as a Great Wei person, and died as a Great Wei ghost, and the Gongsun family will never be humiliated and welcomed, and will seek justice for Yan Gong......"

While eating, Gongsun Beiyan was still thinking about calling for the Wei State, which had already destroyed the country.

Chen Xu's cheek couldn't help but twitch lightly.

Why hasn't this stupid woman left, it's been three days, Nima has been three days, every day is like a retarded chatter, Chen Xu doesn't dare to let her wander around the town, for fear that this woman will preach everywhere to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming ......Dynasty, well, anti-Qin and Wei, so she can only get some delicious food and drink every day and hide in no one to listen to her nagging.

"You say you're fair, I say I'm fair, fair or not, only God knows, Gongsun Beiyan, when are you going to leave?" Chen Xu said expressionlessly.

"It's not up to you to decide whether justice is fair or not, you don't have to drive me, I'll leave early tomorrow morning!" Gongsun Beiyan glared at Chen Xu indignantly.

"That's good, don't come in the future! And you ......" Chen Xu turned his head to look at the middle-aged coachman, "The general trend of the world has long been irreversible, you have superb martial arts, but you are willing to be a lackey, follow me in the future, ensure that you eat and drink well every day, and the wine is enough!" ”

"Humph!" The middle-aged coachman glanced at Chen Xu lightly, turned his body in one direction and continued to eat skewers.

"Haha, a fool is a fool, Uncle Nie is the first swordsman of my Great Wei, and he is loyal to the Great Wei, how can it be that you can seduce you with broken wine and food, you will die of this heart!" Gongsun Beiyan's smiling flowers and branches trembled, and Chen Xu, whose full chest was shaking, couldn't wait to poke the leakage with a bamboo stick.

"Good birds choose trees to perch, the big husband should do something and not do something, the Great Wei in your mouth has long disappeared, what's the point of holding on to the defects, wanting to restore is just a grasshopper shaking the tree, it's really beyond your strength!" Chen Xu continued without any expression.

"Beiyan, it's getting late, Uncle Nie will send you back to rest, and hurry back to Wancheng early tomorrow morning!" The middle-aged coachman threw the bamboo stick in his hand to the ground, grabbed the big sword and stood up.

"Rotten wood can't be carved!" Gongsun Beiyan stood up, straightened his dress and followed the coachman away, and soon only Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou were left on the river beach.

"Chen Lang, are you really not optimistic about the restoration of the Six Kingdoms?" Shui looked at Chen Xu softly and quietly.

"Hehe, the restoration of the Six Kingdoms is just a flower in the moon and water in the well, it looks good, those kings and grandsons will be killed by these nobles after all, gently, listen to me, after going back, persuade the Shui family not to get involved, no matter whether Zhao Zheng dies or not, the restoration is a dead end!"

Shui nodded softly: "I will bring what Chen Lang said, but if they don't listen to me, I can't be swayed." Life and death are broad, and Zicheng is said; Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son! Gentle life is Chen Lang's person, death is Chen Lang's ghost, this life and this life will be by Chen Lang's side! ”

Chen Xu looked at the soft and charming face of the water, sat together with the skewers and gently squeezed them next to the water, felt the softness and full of fiery elasticity of the body and said: "It's not easy to find a mother-in-law in the middle of nowhere, don't worry, I will raise you well!" Come, open your mouth, husband feeds you shrimp! ”

"Chen Lang, you have to be careful of this Gai Nie, Sister Beiyan is right, this person is the first swordsman of the Great Wei, his swordsmanship is superb, and his mind is firm and cannot be tempted, if one day you destroy their plan to restore the country, he will definitely kill you, there will be no hesitation!" Shui gently turned her head to look at Chen Xu worriedly.

"What am I doing to sabotage their plans, I just don't want to be involved in them, the so-called too many words must be lost, people like Gongsun Beiyan have big hearts...... Well, Zhida is brainless, if the son in your mouth wants to rely on them to restore the country, it is completely self-defeating! ”

"But none of them would think like that!" Shui sighed softly, "Sister Beiyan also heard that I talked about some things about you, so I came to meet you, hoping to encircle you to serve them, but unfortunately it was very unpleasant to meet, this matter was done gently and abruptly, and I promise that I will never reveal your news to anyone in the future!" ”

"It doesn't matter, the cone is in the bag, and the end of it is immediately revealed, it is gold that will shine sooner or later, I, Chen Xu, is like a piece of gold, even if it is buried deep underground, sooner or later it will come out and blind everyone's eyes!" Someone said shamelessly.

"Hee-hee, Chen Lang's words are always full of philosophy! Much more interesting than the words of the sages. Shui gently covered his mouth and leaned on Chen Xu's shoulder, and a pair of big clear eyes were crooked with a smile.

Sure enough, Gongsun Beiyan did not break his promise, and left in a carriage early the next morning.

However, before leaving, he asked Chen Xu for a jar of grape fruit vinegar.

Although Chen Xu extremely disliked this big-chested and brainless woman, he still didn't skimp on the gentle face of the water, not only gave a jar of vinegar, but also gave two tubes of yam and poria cakes, and at the same time specially gave this middle-aged uncle named Gai Nie a jar of wine.

"Thank you!" The coachman was obviously surprised, but he still took it very happily, and said two words for the first time.

"Don't thank you, the golden white wall buys songs and laughs, a drunk moon light prince, one day you feel tired can get drunk, you will find that in fact, many times even if you try your best, you still can't change any results, lying down, in fact, it's quite comfortable! I have enough wine here, so I come here often! Chen Xu said with a faint smile.

The coachman twitched lightly, then sat in the carriage with the wine jar, whipped up, and drove ~

The wheels turned, and as the bumps undulated, the carriage faded away.

"Beiyan, you underestimate this Chen Xiaolangjun!" After the car drove out of Qinghe Town, the driver who had been silently driving the car suddenly said.

"What if you underestimate it, the eldest husband is a Jin Ge iron horse to gain fame, he lives in this remote mountain, but he does nothing to do, such a child's affection, how to become a big thing, he said that my Great Wei restoration is hopeless, it is simply stupid and ridiculous, but I don't know that the world is already boiling like soup, and it will become an ocean of water, Uncle Nie, don't be fooled by his flamboyant words!"

The middle-aged man nodded and did not answer, and with a few whips, the carriage accelerated to the southeast along the avenue, where Pingchuan was the prosperous and rich land of Jingchu.

And Chen Xu, who saw the carriage go away, also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and took Shui's gentle hand and said, "Go, come home with me, and help me write something by the way while recuperating!" ”

Dozens of square-shaped smooth and flat planks, which Chen Xu asked a few apprentices in the carpentry workshop to make in their free time, were made of black oak wood.

It is also called wood tree, it is an ancient tree species, the seeds are covered with a layer of white wax, which can be used to make candles, soap, wax paper, etc., and the seeds can also be used to squeeze oil, can be used to paint furniture and make ink, it belongs to a tree species with very high economic value, and the wood is delicate and tight, the wood grain is smooth, and it can be used to make cutting boards.

Of course, Chen Xu made these wooden boards not used to make cutting boards, but to be used for engraving printing, but engraving printing is not only to write, but also to carve, there are a few cultural people in the town, but in Chen Xu's view, the words written are not enough to pass down the ages, that is to say, the words used to print books are somewhat ungraded, as for the words he wrote, it is even more unsightly, although Xiao Seal has been able to write some ghost characters, but he is actually good at the simplified characters of the square, but the simplified characters are not known to others, and they are also very sloppy.

He has seen the soft words of the water, one stroke at a time, neat and beautiful, and now he can take advantage of the time to recuperate to help him get out a complete set of textbooks for primary school, including literacy, arithmetic, abacus formulas, ninety-nine multiplication tables, etc., these contents of the three old men of the primary school and Niu Quan and others have all been sorted into a book, originally there are not many students, and it is not too much of a problem to copy one or twenty times next to each other, but Chen Xu wants to verify the printing technology first, and this set of tutorials may be able to expand to a large range in the future, After getting it done, I sent a few sets to Jiangbei Pavilion to open his eyes.

As for movable type printing, there is no need to get it out now, one is that Qinghe Town is too small, the demand is not enough, and the second is that movable type printing is only suitable for large-scale printing, if you want to set up a large printing plant in the future, you can consider it, and whether it is wooden movable type or clay movable type or even copper movable type, it needs a very mature industrial base, and it also needs a large group of craftsmen who are proficient in carving and casting, and the level of several craftsmen in Qinghe Town is too inferior.

"Gentle, this is a textbook approved by a few old masters in primary school and me, you help me write it on the board, remember to write it backwards!" Chen Xu handed a few books to Shui Qingrou, and then picked up a wooden board with a dense grid that had already been drawn with very fine ink and put it on the table.

"Writing backwards?" The water was soft and a little dazed.

"Well, when it is written in reverse, it will be printed correctly, and the handwriting should be as clear as possible, and it doesn't hurt to be a little thicker, otherwise the handwriting will not be clear when the time comes......"

"Chen Lang, you have already understood it gently, this is actually the same as Yinxin, right!" The water was soft and the ice and snow were smart, and they understood Chen Xu's meaning almost instantly.

"Yes, these things are not in a hurry, you write slowly, after I finish writing, I will take it and let the craftsman dig out some blank places, these words will protrude, when the time comes, brush the ink, cover the hemp paper and press the handwriting will be printed on the paper, it is simple and fast, you can print as much as you want, when you want to print, you will print when you want, and it will not be bad for hundreds of years!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"This method is really simple, as long as the words are carved on the wooden board, it can be used for a long time, it is really convenient and fast!" Shui was both pleasantly surprised and excited when she understood it.

"This is the content of the Tiangong Kaiwu Scroll, called engraving printing, although it is flawed, but it is enough for now!" Chen Xu nodded.

"Chen Lang is saying that there is a more convenient and faster way?" Shui looked at Chen Xu softly, with a pair of big eyes flickering.

"Naturally, there is, but the process is more complicated, there is no need to get it out at present, it is just a waste of manpower and material resources, some of the gains outweigh the losses, by the way, after returning to Wancheng next time, let the caravan of the Shui family help me collect more classics of the sages, such as the left turn, the Book of Changes, Lianshan, Guizang, Shangshu, the Book of Poetry, the Book of Mountains and Seas, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the Emperor's Outer Classic, the Difficult Scripture, the Tao Te Ching, etc., the best is the oldest original version!"

"What does Chen Lang want to do with these, although these ancient books are not common for ordinary people, but there are a large number of them in the hands of the nobles of Wang Sun and some famous scholars!" The water is gentle and a little puzzled.

"Your master once said, Daqin has the risk of collapse, once the Great Qin court changes, the six kings and nobles will inevitably take the opportunity to rise, the fire of the restoration of the six countries is raging, these books have been handed down for thousands of years, I am afraid that they will be destroyed in the troubled times, I can't bear to watch the knowledge of the sages be destroyed in the war, I just want to do a little bit, so that these things can be passed on permanently, China, not the China of the Six Kingdoms, nor the China of the Great Qin, he is the China of the people and the people, Countless sages have been pursuing the avenue all their lives, thinking day and night, trying to educate the world with their thoughts, opening up the wisdom of the people to educate the people, we as descendants, can not let the thoughts of the sages be annihilated in history, but to let these theories and ideas be passed on from generation to generation, only by inheriting the knowledge of the sages, can we open the peace of the world, although I Chen Xu is insignificant, but also need to do my best......"

Chen Xu's tone was very flat, but when it fell on the water and soft ears, it was like thunder, this teenager, this teenager who made her fall in love, this teenager who looked thin, suddenly rose from the ground like a towering tree, almost instantly completely covering her.

It turns out that he has such ambitions, this is my husband, the husband who stands up to the sky and wants to open peace for all generations.

Shui's gentle eyes became extremely gentle, and he gently held Chen Xu's hand and said: "Chen Lang's words have been written down gently, and I will return to Wancheng in a few days, and I will definitely collect many ancient books and the writings of the sages, and I will not let them pass and drown in the flames of war." ”

"Well, this matter should be done in secret, not publicly, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others!" Chen Xu admonished.

"Gentle and provincial, Chen Lang, you go and get busy, you don't have to accompany me!"

"Okay, if you're tired of writing, stay in bed, remember to drink medicine, I'll come to see you later!"

"Send Chen Lang gently!" Shui gently helped Chen Xu tidy up his clothes, sent them to the door to watch Chen Xu leave, then returned to the room and sat down, lifted the brush and dipped it in ink, and began to write on the wooden board one by one.
