The scale and pattern of Ningguo Mansion are roughly equivalent to that of Rongguo Mansion, all of which are Guogong Mansions, Jia Cong finished bathing, Qin Keqing led him to an upper room, and when he entered the door, he saw a "Burning Quinoa Map" hanging on the opposite wall, and the couplet on both sides was "The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article".

The script is very familiar, isn't this the first room where Qin Keqing took Jia Baoyu to rest in the original book? Jia Baoyu was very picky, she was not here, and went to Qin Keqing's boudoir...... Jia Cong thought, did I get the wrong script?

"Burning Quinoa Picture......" Jia Cong looked carefully, the picture was good, and the couplet was good, he thought: "Qin Keqing must be a person with great taste......"

Qin Keqing turned his head and shook the cloud sideburns he picked up: "Uncle Cong knows this picture?" ”

"I saw it in a miscellaneous book." Jia Cong saw that her eyes were inquiring, and said with a smile: "The book says that when Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, an old man came to see Liu Xiang with a cane and taught the Five Elements Hongwen. Quinoa, wood also, old can be a stick, burned can be a candle. With this couplet, it seems to persuade people to make progress. ”

Although the enigmatic Qin Keqing argued endlessly, the artifacts and clues in her room had already been thoroughly studied by red scientists, as a senior lover of red studies, how could Jia Cong not know this. But when I look at it with my own eyes, I feel that this picture is full of antiquity, burning quinoa in the painting, and it seems that the smell of fireworks can also be smelled outside the painting.

Qin Keqing was a little surprised, and said no more, elegant blessings, the peony print between the skirts folded into a lock of soft stacks with her ten thousand blessings, the temples have been combed, and the eyebrows have been drawn, but she is probably less than twenty years old, and she is full of the light and familiar charm of a young lady: "It seems that Uncle Cong likes it very much, please take a nap, the Qin family will go to have food first." ”

She put down the curtain and went out, bowed her head and thought: "Uncle Cong is really knowledgeable, and he is not inferior to Second Uncle Bao on the Shangyuan Festival...... It would be nice if Uncle Xiao Rong was willing to be motivated, he was just a prisoner bought with money, and he didn't go to Guozijian to study...... Although the house is as rich as in the past, there are many drawbacks, but unfortunately the old and young masters are blindly enjoying themselves, and there are few people who can see through, and I am also powerless. ”

Shaking his head, he teased the cat under the porch for a while, feeling even more bored, and no one could solve his sorrow.

Since the Ming Dynasty, in order to alleviate the emergency situation of disaster relief, the imperial court allowed rich and noble families to "take Su into prison", and they could become the prisoners of the country by paying money. Supervisors can directly participate in the township examination, and do not need to take the county examination, the government examination, or the hospital examination, but there is only one chance. The household department can also directly use money to buy officials, but this kind of official is looked down upon by others, it is a wild way, and the probability of rising is not large.

Li Wei of the Qing Dynasty was a member of the military department who was bought with money Wailang (from Wupin), and became the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Zhili, which is a special case. Jia Lian's five products are also bought with money, and at the end of feudal society, selling official titles is commonplace, and the imperial examination collapses, and it can be seen from "The Strange Status Quo Witnessed in Twenty Years" that the degree of corruption in the officialdom of the late Qing Dynasty is really outrageous, not the dirtiest, only more dirty.

However, the Shun Dynasty followed this rule of the Ming Dynasty: non-Jinshi did not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin did not enter the cabinet.

Green gauze tent, silk quilt, soft silk pillow, neat and fragrant, Jia Cong closed his eyes, but his mind thought that even if Qin Keqing was suspicious and confused, he was as careful as a hair, weak and kind...... To save or not to save is not the current top priority, the most important thing is to enter the teacher-student network of the Shun Dynasty through the imperial examination, otherwise he will not be able to do anything. The relationship between teachers and students in this era is sometimes more intimate and useful than the relationship between father and son, so show your own literary and artistic systems and knowledge of the two worlds, and at this time you have no right to speak in Xifu, let alone affect Jia Yu and Jia Zhen, who have titles.

There is not much silver, the money is for official affairs, the fire is so bad that the pig's head is rotten, it can't be done without money, Wang Xifeng's difficulties are in an instant, Jia Cong is ready to sell the first part of "Xiaolin Guangji".

……

The spring of Shuofang is not as warm as the climate of Southern Province, and even in February, there is goose feather heavy snow, and the spring sunshine all over the mountains and fields will be delayed for a long time, and the garden is the first to bloom a few white magnolias, elegant and fresh, and the master and servant duo went out of the house to a bookstore in the East Hutong.

Jia Cong is an old customer, the last time he bought a book was here, the shopkeeper is a native of Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and has a relationship with the Jiangnan Shop and the Book Society, as we all know, the courtiers are half Jiangxi, and the Jiangnan scholars are more prosperous than the north, and their current literature is also sold in the north and south. This shopkeeper's surname is Zheng Mingyexiao, and he welcomes Jia Cong to wait in the room, but he doesn't serve tea, and after watching "Xiaolin Guangji", Zheng Yeliao feels that it is profitable, and he will definitely be able to sell hundreds of copies.

But his face was silent: "This little brother, your book "Xiaolin Guangji" is indeed not bad, but ...... It's still not as hot as Shiwen, it's purely a joke, twenty taels. ”

Jia Cong smiled and sat up: "Sun Fu, let's go." ”

Walk straight out of the door, without looking back, and without giving a tone of discussion, this is how to negotiate business with profiteers.

"Xiaolin Guangji" was written by the Qing Dynasty, there were no in the Shun Dynasty, there were yellow jokes, there were ridicule of society, short and concise, every time it can make people laugh, twenty taels of silver, or too little, why is Jia Cong so? He is not a computer, the book is written and integrated from memory, which is very brain-consuming and hard, and Zheng Yexiao is too treacherous.

"Alas...... Little brother! Little brother! Harmony makes money! Harmony makes money! Let's talk slowly, tea protection, tea. Zheng Yeyu smiled like Maitreya Buddha: "That...... This book can't be written by my brother, right? I think the person who wrote this book has an extraordinary experience. ”

"Naturally not, one of my cousins entrusted me to sell it, and he can't get out of it." Jia Cong took a sip of tea casually, he left three hands on this matter, the first did not admit what he wrote, because he admitted that others did not believe it, and the second Shun Dynasty was similar to the Qing Dynasty, he integrated into Jiafu, but he had not yet contacted the social court, I don't know if there is a literary prison? How many people have been wronged in the Qing Dynasty's literary prison, the 87th version of the TV series Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Yucun also reported Jia Baoyu's concubine, the Shun Dynasty is similar to the Qing Dynasty, so Jia Cong has to guard against it, and he is very careful not to commit taboos when rewriting.

Third...... Jia Cong said unhurriedly: "Shopkeeper Zheng, this "Xiaolin Guangji", my cousin said that there are several more, and this is the first ......"

This is Jia Congliu's third hand, the first part sold well, and the next few will be easy to talk about, isn't that the starting point of the great god and platinum?

"Oh? And the follow-up? Zheng Yeyu thought again and again: "Little brother, I can give forty taels, this is the highest, the business is not lovely, and I hope that the little brother will patronize our store in the future." ”

"Well said, deal." Jia Cong smiled and nodded, Zheng Yeyu paid off forty taels of silver on the spot, and when he left the store, Jia Cong asked, "Have the three shopkeepers arrived?" ”

"Please, set a date, go to Wenhan Building, Luo Gao is the one who delivers the shop, Chen Baifu is the rice shop, and Tian Youfu is the one who collects the land rent...... They were ruined by Grandma Lian, and the master had already come to the door in person, and they saw that the master was not a flat-headed person, and they were willing to come. "Sun Fu collected the silver, forty taels, if he didn't take another path in Rongguo Mansion, he wouldn't have seen so much in his life, Master Cong is not a mortal, a book was sold for forty taels, Sun Fu admired.

"Go to Wenhan Tower on that day and have a good talk." Jia Cong tightened his shirt, he wanted to remove Wang Xifeng's housekeeping power, so that Wang Xifeng could not stumble on him.

The snow was breezy, and the western city of Jingshi was shrouded in catkins-like light snow.

……

Zheng Yexiao's Zheng Ji Bookstore is not a bookstore now, but a collection of printing department, editorial department, workshop shop, express delivery in one, movable type printing has come out, but the cost is high, so it is still used for engraving printing, and the efficiency is not high.

When a few copies were printed, he saw that the pen name signed in the written book was "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng", ouch, isn't this the author of "Golden Vase Plum"? However, it is common for the author to take a pen name indiscriminately, and he will complain a few words, no wonder "Xiaolin Guangji" is a bit yellow! Teachers are out of the same door!

Qing Dynasty's "Xiaolin Guangji", the author "game master", was changed by Jia Cong, although a little yellow, but happy but not lewd, much like the "Book of Songs" of the idea of innocence, Zheng Yexiao is not worried about being seized, according to his experience, the first to sell half a month can earn at least a hundred taels, this era has no copyright, manuscripts, peers see the profit to print, the government does not care...... The more you go to the back, the less sales you have, but it's good to make money.

After reading it for a long time, Zheng Yeliao couldn't help laughing, this book is so funny, it's so cruel to satirize the world! Suddenly, the guy shouted, "Master Liu is here to patrol the city", and the roar made Zheng Ye's soul scatter, and the barrel-like body rolled out, kowtowed, and said with a smile: "Oh, Master Liu is coming to the shop, and it is shining, please!" ”

Liu Dongsheng, the imperial history of the Xicheng patrol, took a few officials from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, glanced at his eyelids, did not speak, and went straight into Zheng Ji Bookstore to investigate, and saw a hand-copied copy of "Xiaolin Guangji", he liked to collect books and looked through a few pages, and the story of that page was roughly like this:

A county order was promoted to the court, a government official farted on the spot, and the county order was furious, "People are roaring in court, why don't you catch them quickly?" "The officials are frightened, there is nothing to fart, how to get it? Helpless, he came in with a piece of dry: "Qiyu County Zun, the defendant has fled, this is his accomplice!" ”

This story is a satire on the mediocrity and incompetence of some county orders, Liu Dongsheng almost laughed out loud, and found that Zheng Yeyu was on the side, so he hurriedly coughed and couldn't let go of the scroll. Zheng Yexiao is such a shrewd person, he is happy that Liu Yushi promoted him and said that he would send him, but Liu Yushi paid and warned him not to sell illegal books, Zheng Yeyu said yes again and again.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is one of the three legal divisions, the five cities under the jurisdiction of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, each city of the Shun Dynasty Jingshi has a patrol city imperial history, is the seven products (the Ming Dynasty is the seven products, the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng is the five products, and the number of other official ranks has also changed), in charge of arrest, litigation, seizure and other matters, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, more severe. Liu Dongsheng is a third-class Tongjinshi background, well-known uprightness, Xicheng passers-by are well known, Liu Yushi for political achievements, from time to time to personally bring people to investigate some illegal incidents.

The onlookers discussed from afar, and saw Liu Dongsheng ascending to Wenhan Tower, and a few of the Guozi Prison Supervisors, Shuntianfu Zhusheng, Juren, and small officials in Beijing often came to the restaurant to recruit prostitutes, corrupting the style of study and morale, and people knew that if they were caught, Liu Yushi would hand it to His Majesty the Emperor tomorrow. Yushi, the official is small and powerful, even the emperor dares to spray, what else dare not spray?

Liu Yushi went to Wenhan Restaurant, and without saying a word, he drank tea and read "Xiaolin Guangji", and when a few people in civilian clothes saw him, they immediately sat restless, secretly resentful, Feng Ziying, Xue Pan, Admiral's son, and meritorious descendants had a few tables, and they didn't dare to make trouble.

Jia Cong was chatting with the three shopkeepers about the customs, and did not hesitate to pay a lot of money for good wine and food, and Luo Gaocai smoked dry cigarettes one by one: "Jia Gongzi is young, gentle and elegant, and sophisticated, it is a pity not to come to the shop to do business, but the little old man also lost his capital, and regretted borrowing Laiwang's Yinzi money, seven cents of silver, and the profits rolled, and our ten brothers ran away." ”

Not to mention Tian Youfu, buying land and hiring tenants in the suburbs of Beijing, just because of Wang Xifeng's money, he lost his family and lost his property, he ate and drank, didn't speak, came and went, and they were also familiar with Jia Cong.

Jia Cong listened carefully, when others spoke, his eyes looked at each other gently, and the wine and food were always let others go first, and the three of them had a good impression of him. Seeing the dry tobacco, Jia Cong had a little aftertaste of lighting a cigarette and spitting out smoke rings, and said: "The three of you use it slowly, and you have to say goodbye in advance, if there is anything that is not enough, just open your mouth." ”

Jia Cong went downstairs to see the table next to the staircase, Liu Yushi read a very familiar book, hey, isn't that my "Xiaolin Guangji"? Then I found out that as soon as Liu Dongsheng came, most of the people were gone, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant was also helpless.

After getting off Wenhan Tower, Sun Fu asked him where he was going, Jia Cong looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the clouds, it was noon, and said: "Go and see the pomegranate first, you can take me to the suburbs of the city, anyway, it's still early, as soon as I go to school and move the yard tomorrow, there will be no idle days." ”

Speaking, Jia Cong wrote something in a small notebook, taking charcoal, reading thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, the paper is shallow, and he never knows that he has to bow to this matter, this is the unity of knowledge and action.

……

After the three of them finished eating, Chen Baifu said: "Jia Xiaogongzi got to know us for no reason, there must be something." ”

"Let's see, he didn't force us, the people in their house who put the money in the seal are the ones in their house, maybe." Luo Gaocai tapped the cigarette pouch on the edge of the table and poured out some burnt black ash.

Suddenly, Liu Yushi next to the staircase smiled, like the sound of a tractor going uphill, Tian Youfu was terrified: "Liu Yushi smiled, let's go quickly." ”

Suddenly the overcrowded restaurant, only Liu Dongsheng was left as a guest, but he seemed to be no one around, and exclaimed: "The author of this book is talented, satirizing the world into three points, into the wood three points!" ”
