Chapter 40 of the Flying Dragon: Poetry Banquet Urges Kyoto (3)

【Ticket Request】

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Wang Xingping's age, and saw him say this, most of the heart was that the Confucian students who had just finished the examination in this subject wanted to find some miscellaneous books to adjust and adjust, and he had seen a lot of such things these days, so he was careful to wait.

Wang Xingping's eyes first swept over a row of bookshelves, "The Unification of the Ming Dynasty", "Miscellaneous Notes of the Wan Department", "Ancient and Modern Rhymes Will Be Raised to Make Small Supplements", ......, these seem to be common miscellaneous books on the market, and "The Unification of the Ming Dynasty" has been seen in bookstores in Guizhou and Guangdong.

Sweeping another row, you can see "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Legend of the Fengshen", which are also common strange books, but Wang Xingping didn't have much interest, but the "Journey to the East", "Journey to the North" and "Journey to the South" next to "Journey to the West" made him very curious, but he just put it down after a cursory glance, "Journey to the East" is quite reluctant, it tells the story of the Eight Immortals, and the other two books are simply unbearable to read. The popularity of "Journey to the West" is randomly compiled together, one is about the Emperor Zhenwu, and the other is about the Emperor of Nanhua, but it is obviously written in a hurry, it seems that this book-selling routine has been similar throughout the ages.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly took out some sales at the bottom of the box, "If the prince has the heart to study as an official, this "Emperor Ming Zhu Si Lian Mingqi Judgment Public Case" and his sequel "Huang Ming Zhu Si Gong Case" can be watched. ”

Wang Xingping picked up and flipped through a few chapters, and saw that this 'novel' was also shoddy, and the shopkeeper was afraid that he would not be able to do Wang Xingping's business, and seeing that the guests were not very interested in this 'script' that almost completely copied the case files and official documents of various parts of the Ming Dynasty, he simply found a set of tomes and recommended them diligently, "This "Qingping Shantang Script" is also a strange book. ”

He thought about it again and said: "More is more, but this number can also be sold alone, "Rain Window Collection", "Long Lantern Collection", "Accompanying Voyage Collection", "Leisure Collection", "Pillow Collection", "Awakening Dream Collection" are all just ten volumes, I don't know if the son is interested? ”

As he was talking, Wang Xingping did it himself.

"I want both sets of books." He first picked up a copy of "Wanping Miscellaneous Notes", which was written by the former Wanping County Commander Shen Bang, a total of 20 volumes, talking more about the customs and folklore in Beijing, Wang Xingping felt that it would definitely be helpful to bring a set to Beijing.

The shopkeeper was about to take the other book in his hand and wrap it in paper, but when he saw the cover, his face changed, "I'm sorry, I forgot that this book was set by someone, and I hope the son will forgive me." ”

The corners of Wang Xingping's mouth curled when he heard this, "The whole book of "Golden Vase Plum" is not unusual in Jiangnan, right?" It's just that this picture is rare, I don't know which nobleman went first? ”

In fact, Wang Xingping has only seen such a set of "Golden Vase Plum" in the corner in this bookstore, but he did hear that this book is not difficult to find in Jiangnan, and he was interested in it for a while, but when he took it to see it, he brought it with the illustrations of the Spring Palace. "Golden Vase Plum" has seen a lot of adapted film and television dramas in his previous life, and there are even some that have never been released publicly, but he has never read the original book, and today he saw a dozen of them with some interest.

The shopkeeper is embarrassed, "It's not a secret, it's the third master of Zhangfu in the county, if it's the old decay set by the son of another family, he will be the master of the first to give the son, but this master is in a hurry, and this book is from Fujian." ”

"Zhangfu? But the one in San'in? As soon as Wang Xingping heard Zhang's mansion, he listened to the shopkeeper's tone and seemed to be a person with great status, so he asked more.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Which Zhang Mansion is there in this Shanyin County besides that one?" ”

Wang Xingping turned the pages of the book again, a little reluctant, although this Spring Palace is not as real as the image of the later generations, but this life is also an amazing thing after all, he was thinking about whether to say a few more words to win this book, but two people came in outside the bookstore.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the person coming, he greeted him with a smile on his face, "Who is this rare guest, why didn't the fourth prince study at home today?" ”

"I'm tired of seeing it for a long time, today I went to Mr. Shiliang's White Horse Mountain meeting with my eldest brother, and I passed by you when I went home, and I was thinking about bringing some Zhiwei painting books and other adjustments on the way to Beijing."

The young man who spoke looked fifteen or sixteen, spoke very modestly, and at first glance he was the son of a large family, followed by the obvious scholar with a box on his back.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he suddenly said, "Also, the four sons are already in high school, and next year's spring will be a champion again, and what kind of subset of scriptures and history will be read, it should be a pastime." ”

'New imperial examination people? ’

Wang Xingping was in high spirits when he heard this, and he couldn't help but secretly look at this person, this age is inevitably a little too young. Although Wang Xingping asked himself that it is not impossible to get a place in the Guizhou Township Examination with his talent, but after all, this is two Zhejiang, and the flourishing style of Jiangnan is not comparable to that place in Guizhou.

Wang Xingping was thinking about it, but the young man was sharp-eyed, and immediately saw the illustrated book "Golden Vase Plum" in Wang Xingping's hand, and said, "This is another book from the Santai Pavilion, right?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "Fourth Prince Mingjian." ”

Seeing Wang Xingping's unclear appearance, the shopkeeper explained, it turned out that the three pavilions are the engraved library in Jianyang, Fujian, this library is different from other places in that it is the best marketing, the owner of this bookstore Yu Xiangdou is a landing talent, and the writing is not outstanding, but it is often able to be whimsical, or follow the social popularity, or create another form of publicity, this exquisite illustration is a characteristic of the three pavilions carved books. The "Lian Ming Gong Case" and "Journey to the North" and "Journey to the South" introduced by the shopkeeper were also published by his family, which can be said to be a stark contrast between the text and the packaging.

"Who is this?" The young man saw that Wang Xingping was extraordinary, and asked suspiciously.

But the shopkeeper also just met where to know, but Wang Xingping has the heart to make friends naturally will not annoy the shopkeeper, he said: "In Xia Wang Xingping, Guizhou Wei is a small thousand households, and the business trip to Beijing passed by here just to find some miscellaneous books for recreation." ”

The young man said: "Your Excellency's accent is not like that of nearby people, but it turns out that it is from such a borderland, in Xia Qi Biaojia, and my home is not far from Meili." ”

Wang Xingping deliberately told him with a military status, and the other party, a suspected new imperial examination person, actually took the initiative to pass his name without contempt, which made him feel good, so he took the initiative to hand over the "Golden Plum Bottle" in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency also likes this kind of book?" ”

"I have always heard the name of this book, and my father has mentioned it a few times, but I have been focusing on the imperial examination and have no time to read it. However, this set seems to be different from the version circulated outside, this picture looks quite exquisite, and this kind of thing is just lacking in my father's Shusheng Hall, I wonder if Brother Wang can let it go? ”

Wang Xingping smiled, but diverted the topic, "I just heard that Brother Qi is a person from Xinke?" ”

"It's just a fluke, it's just a few more books."

"There is only Yan Ruyu in this book."

"Books are all written by people, you can see what you can see, and there are many prime ministers from Fujian."

After a few words, the two of them understood, and then they both laughed out loud.

Fujian has many mountains and few lands, and there are more people who do business than fields, and there are many bookstores. When it was changed to the Song Dynasty, Fujian's pirated books were not as good as those of Guozijian, and they were known for their poor printing, but because of this, the price of books was also extremely cheap, so there were many people in Fujian who read in the Song Dynasty, and the number of Zhongjinshi also rose with the tide, and the prime minister even produced several in a row. And this illustrated version of "Golden Vase Plum" is a pirated version from Fujian, so Wang Xingping asked Yan Ruyu to mean that this book has a lot of obscurity, but this Qi Biaojia also replied wonderfully.

"We rarely see people from Guizhou here on weekdays, I don't know why Brother Wang came to Shaoxing?"

"I went to Guangdong for some business trips first, but now I am accompanying a few friends to Beijing for reference, passing by Shanyin and going to the teacher's house to ask questions."

"Oh?" Qi Biaojia was slightly surprised, a military household in Guizhou, most of his age is still in the shadows, and there is actually a teacher from Zhejiang, which makes him also interested, "I don't know which one the respected teacher is?" ”

"Family teacher Zhang Yuruo."

"Yuruo?"

Qi Biaojia listened to it familiarly, squinted her eyes and thought about it for a while, and suddenly woke up, "The one from the Zhang family in Shanyin?" But he suddenly realized again, "It seems that he is indeed the great master in Guizhou, no wonder, no wonder ......."

At this time, the shopkeeper finally interjected, "The two sons and listen to the little old man's words, this book was set by the third master of the Zhang family a long time ago, but it is not easy to let it." ”

"What's wrong with my third uncle?" At this time, another loud voice suddenly followed in from outside the door, "I said that you beast disappeared in a blink of an eye, and sure enough, you ran to the bookstore to teach prostitution and theft." ”

The person who came was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a wreath of osmanthus on a crooked turban, and at this time he was still holding a folding fan sprinkled with gold, looking cynical, followed by a small guy with a pink face and oily head who came in from the door, obviously a man but immediately hid behind the person with a shy face, which made Wang Xingping tremble for a while.

"Say the Zhang family, the ancestor of the Zhang family is here." Although the shopkeeper's voice was said very softly, it was still heard by Wang Xingping, and he looked back in surprise and turned his head to look at the son and brother in front of him, and he didn't know where he came from.

I didn't want that Qi Biaojia but I wasn't annoyed, and said with a smile, "It turned out that Yan Kegongzi had arrived." ”

"Haha." The young man also laughed and said, "I like your easy-going temper, not as boring as your eldest brother, and tell me what's wrong with the beast, I didn't give this name to your brother." ”

Wang Xingping also learned later that it turned out that the five brothers Qi Biaojia were all named after beasts, the eldest brother Lin Jia, the second brother Feng Jia, the third brother Jun Jia, the fifth brother Xiang Jia, and even the two cousins of the uncle's family were the same, one was Zhu Jia and one Xiong Jia, no wonder outsiders also made fun of it.

The young man turned his head to look Wang Xingping up and down again, and suddenly said in surprise: "I recognize you, you ate crabs with my eldest brother at noon today?" ”

"Didn't ask ......" Wang Xingping felt strange and asked.

Qi Biaojia smiled on the side: "The second young master of the Zhang family, the famous Zhang Yanke." ”

"Zhang Cao is me." The young man closed the fan and pointed at the tip of his nose, "Father said in the letter that you killed a lot of people in Guizhou?" ”

Wang Xingping still wanted to establish, but when he heard the latter words, he had a 'uh' sound in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Cao laughed out loud and said: "What I like the most is that you martial artists, if you can go into battle to kill people, isn't it more interesting than that turtle jinshi, but if you come again, don't let my tenth uncle see him, he was bullied by Uncle Zhang Quan, a martial artist in Shaoxing, and he hates hundreds of households the most." ”

Qi Biaojia said: "What is Yanke looking for me?" ”

Zhang Cao said with a smile: "You are going to be a junior sergeant, I don't believe it, I just thought about a question, and I bet you can't answer it." ”

"Tell me about it?" Qi Biaojia said with a smile.

Zhang Cao held back a wicked smile on his face and said, "Listen up, my title is 'Mrs. Jun's Male Desire'." ”

Wang Xingping frowned when he heard this, he was well-read and memorized, and his face was flushed when he glanced at Qi Biaojia, this topic is a truncated question, from "The Analects of Ji", "Foreigners call it, also called Mrs. Jun", and then the next paragraph begins with "Yang goods want to see Confucius", this ordinary two paragraphs together have a different meaning, but a single topic, this is the most correct way to ask the question.

Sure enough, seeing that Qi Biaojia was speechless, Zhang Cao became happy and couldn't help it.

The shopkeeper saw that such a living treasure was so embarrassed, and he also came up to make a round, "Since Yanke Gongzi is here, there happens to be an illustrated version of "Golden Vase Plum" here that Uncle Ling wants, so bother the son to bring it back to Uncle Ling?" ”

At this time, Zhang Cao took out a single temper and pretended not to know, "I have a lot of uncles, which one are you talking about?" ”

"Naturally, it's Mr. Jiu'e."

"He wants this book and I don't know which officials he is going to talk to, and those officials have not seen the big white ass, so they want him to do a lot of things."

Saying that, his eyes rolled and snatched the book, and before everyone could react, with a snort, the pages were torn in half, and in the exclamation of everyone, Zhang Cao picked up another book and tore it up, until a set of "Golden Vase Plum" was torn apart, and then he spread the separated pages in front of Qi Biaojia and Wang Xingping.

"You have to keep books and words, otherwise I'll go tell your lady to see if the Shang girl is willing to follow you." Qi Biaojia's face turned red when she heard this, so she had to continue.

"Then you don't have to study, just look at the big white ass."

Wang Xingping smiled and took it.

Zhang Cao threw out another ingot of snowflake silver and said to the shopkeeper: "Tell my third uncle, I gave him this book away." ”

After saying that, he took the oily boy's butt out of the door, and saw Wang Xingping feel a chill, but Zhang Cao suddenly remembered something and turned back to him.

"I want to hear about killing people at night, why don't I invite you to eat chicken."
