Chapter 242: Rage
There were several books on the table in front of Tang Qi.
He glanced at the butler and asked, "What is this?" ”
The housekeeper said worriedly: "Master Hui, this is the most widely circulated book in the market recently, called "The Legend of the White Snake". ”
Tang Qi knew that the housekeeper would not bother him because of a script, waiting for his explanation.
The housekeeper raised his eyes and looked at him, his tone was even more worried, and said: "This one, the content of this one, is suspected of alluding to the Tang family." ”
"Innuendo again?" When Tang Qi heard this, his brows furrowed.
This year, the poor scholars who wrote the books in Beijing were inexplicably bold, first Tang Zhao of "The Legend of the West Chamber", alluding to Tang Zhao, which made the people of Beijing accumulate a lot of resentment against the Tang family. Even His Majesty asked him to restrain his son more on weekdays, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with the Tang family.
I don't know how to insinuate this "The Legend of the White Snake"?
Although these things have not caused substantial damage to the Tang family, it is easy to gain notoriety, and it will take years or even decades to regain fame.
He didn't have time to read the contents of this, frowned, and asked, "How is this insinuation?" ”
The housekeeper said cautiously: "The insinuation, the insinuation is about the second young lady." ”
There is only one eldest lady in the Tang family now, what the housekeeper said, naturally it can't be Tang Shui, thinking of a possibility, Tang Qi's face sank, picked up a volume of "The Legend of the White Snake", and looked at it carefully.
Half an hour later, he had read it all.
He threw down the scroll in his hand, slapped it on the table, and said angrily: "What a big dog! ”
Although this "The Legend of the White Snake" is not like "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", which satirizes the Tang family by name, it is more obvious than naming and naming the Tang family.
The bald donkey of Fahai who beats mandarin ducks in the book is a metaphor for the Tang family.
Isn't Bai Suzhen, who is trapped under the Leifeng Tower, his second sister?
And who is Xu Shilin, who is about to be the champion, do you still need to think about it?
The scholar put pen to paper, first there was Li Qing who hid his head and tail, and now there was a Tang Ningning who didn't see his head and tail, he couldn't say that these two people were the same person at all, and the person who controlled it behind the scenes was naturally self-evident.
"It's so calculating......" Tang Qi muttered with a darker look on his face.
His purpose is to keep the Tang family in the condemnation of the people, a big family like the Tang family in Beijing has the most reputation, once it loses its reputation, although it can still gain a stable foothold in Beijing with its power, it will not last long.
This matter, if the Tang family does not handle it properly, it will be pushed to the forefront again.
Although he did not confront the Tang family head-on, this move was more effective than any means, and the Tang family simply could not let the wind of the people be pushed by him.
Now that the matter of book printing in Beijing is under the control of King Kang, it is unlikely that it will be solved through the imperial court, but even if it cannot be used by the imperial court, the Tang family will not continue to develop in this matter.
Tang Qi thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Go and find Zhao'er." ”
Tang family, another small courtyard, Tang Shui strode in, walked through the courtyard, entered the room, put a scroll on the table, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the latest volume that was only released this morning, and I bought it with great difficulty." ”
She sat opposite the Qingli woman, supported her cheek with one hand, and said: "Who is this Tang Ningning, the book she wrote is so good, I don't know how the ending is, if the ending is not good, I will find her and let her change it to a good ending!" ”
"You, it's time to change your temper." The Qingli woman looked at her and said helplessly: "You will soon reach the year of peach and plum, and if you continue like this, no one in Jingshi will dare to marry you." ”
"I'm not going to turn twenty in a year." Tang Shui pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "It's a big deal to accompany my sister-in-law for the rest of my life and not get married." ”
The Qingli woman looked at her and asked with a smile, "If you don't get married, will your father and mother agree?" ”
"If they don't agree, they won't agree, anyway, I don't need my father to give me pocket money now." Tang Shui looked out the window and said, "When my pocket money is spent, I will ask my cousin for it, he is not short of money, as a younger brother, it is appropriate to honor my sister......"
The two were talking in the room, and the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed and pleasant than at any time in the past ten years.
At the same time, Tang Zhao walked out of the Tang house with several subordinates quickly, and on a street corner opposite the Tang family, several beggars stood up.
……
Fang Xiaoyue will live in Beijing in the future, and many children of princes and nobles of her age will be sent to the palace to study and study with the royal children.
A few days ago, Fang Hong let her go to the palace to study, and in the past few days, she has come with Zhao Yuan.
Fang Xiaoyue and Zhao Yuan sat in the pavilion to write the homework left by Mr. Gong Xue, and Tang Ning taught Xiaoxiao to write on the side.
He wrote a word on the paper and asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you know what this word reads?" ”
"This is Xiao." Xiao whispered, picked up the pen, wrote another word on the paper, and said, "This is Don." ”
Tang Ning was stunned, looked at her, and said in surprise: "Xiaoxiao is literate, who taught you?" ”
Xiaoxiao put down the pen and whispered, "It was Mama who taught me." ”
"Mama?" Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Then where is Mama now?" ”
Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said, "One day Mama went out to buy steamed buns, I went to look for her, I was arrested, and then I haven't seen Mama again......"
Tang Ning knew that his little parents and brother had passed away unexpectedly a long time ago, so in order not to remind her of more sad things, he didn't ask much, and today was the first time he heard her talk about the past.
He didn't continue the topic, asking, "What can you write in your little one?" ”
Xiao Xiao thought about it and said, "Mama has taught me a lot......"
Tang Ning taught Xiaoxiao to read and write, not on a whim, or to train her into a talented girl like Xiaoyi, he just felt that only by reading and reading can he see a wider world, and he can also be a governor and be polite, he doesn't want to be taught by the old beggar to be a little witch who only knows how to do things in the future.
He already knows a big witch, and he doesn't want to have another little witch by his side.
Tang Ning took a book and found that Xiaoxiao really knew a lot of words, except for a few jerky and difficult to understand, she actually knew them all.
Tang Ning casually tested King Run, and found that even King Run was not as literate as her, I don't know if the princes are all like this, Emperor Chen is shoehorning into what kind of apprentice he had.
As soon as Tang Ning taught her the words that Xiao Xiao didn't know, a guy ran in from outside in a panic and said, "Childe, it's not good, our branch has been smashed!" ”
Tang Ning got up unhurriedly and said, "Go and see." ”
When he walked out of the house, he saw Tang Yaoyao also coming out of the house in a menacing manner, he took two steps forward, grabbed her arm, and said, "What are you doing in a hurry?" ”
Tang Yaoyao's face was full of anger, and he said: "The branch shops have been smashed, what do you say I'm in a hurry, don't let the old lady know who did it!" ”
"Don't be an old lady all day, go and see it first." Tang Ning patted her on the shoulder and walked slowly in the direction of the sub-shop.
Tang Yaoyao was angry and anxious, grabbed his arm, and said angrily: "Grinding, when you walk over, the daylily is cold!" ”
Tang Ning was dragged to the place by her, it was close to closing, there was no one on the street, several guys stood at the door of the store with blue noses and swollen faces, and moved out the destroyed tables, chairs and benches.
Tang Yaoyao walked over and frowned: "What's the matter, who did it?" ”
Shopkeeper Xu limped out and said: "I don't know who it is, they are all fresh faces, they ran in and smashed them and ran away, and said that if we sell "The Legend of the White Snake" again, we will burn down our store!" ”
"How can it be!" Tang Yaoyao looked angry, "It must have been done by Wanjuanlou or another bookstore, I'll go find them!" ”
Tang Ning held her wrist again and said, "What's the hurry, if they didn't do it, wouldn't they have wronged a good person?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures walked in from outside the door, Xiao Jue walked in front and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Jun and the others, who rushed over after getting the news, looked at the mess, and they were even more furious, and said loudly: "Who did it!" ”
"Check!"
Liu Jun turned his head, looked at a subordinate, and said: "For an hour, find out who did it for me, dare to smash Lao Tzu's shop, and see if Lao Tzu doesn't pick his skin!" ”
