Chapter 40: The Root of Irritability
Chapter 40: The Root of Irritability
Dongfang Shuo was dressed in sackcloth, standing in the group of servants and not standing out at all, and when he saw Yun Lang coming, he just smiled and arched his hand as a courtesy.
Sima Qian grabbed a handful of lotus seeds from the basket and said with a smile: "Brother Man Qian came to Changmen Palace to serve as a Xu official, but it is condescending. ”
Dongfang Shuo sighed and said, "It's also good to have a place to live, as for talent?" When you have to use it, it's a high talent, and when it's useless, it's firewood, and it's a good thing to put into the stove to burn. ”
Sima Qian said with a smile: "You don't have to be an official, you don't feel comfortable being an official." ”
Dongfang Shuo looked at Yun Lang and then at Sima Qian and asked, "Then what are you doing in Changmen Palace?" ”
Sima Qian replied shamelessly: "Official! ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded and said, "You are ready to be an official." ”
"When I make so much paper that I can't use it up, will the bastard go to become an official."
"Bastard?"
"Yes, the eggs laid by the turtle."
"Are you saying your father is a tortoise?"
"Listen clearly, a turtle and a turtle are two different things."
Yun Lang dragged Sima away, and he didn't want to see two famous people here boringly talking about the difference between turtles and turtles.
Gillian had just had a very satisfying meal, and she got up late on weekdays, so when others were about to have lunch, she had just eaten breakfast.
After drinking another cup of ginseng tea, Gillian felt that she was in good spirits. and get ready to sleep a little longer.
Da Changqiu walked in with a wooden plate and said in a low voice, "You still want to see guests." ”
Gillian yawned and said, "When I wake up, I say, if Sang Hongyang dares to disturb me again, this time you might as well throw him away." ”
"Nobleman, it's Yun Lang who wants to see."
Gillian, who was originally drowsy, immediately woke up, raised her hand and threw out a pillow, and yelled: "He finally remembered to see me?" ”
Da Changqiu said with a smile: "Why didn't he come to see you, these days, the people who go to the Yun family are very mixed, and Sui Yue, He Chou has all lived in the Yun family, Yun Lang is not here at this time, there should be something to scruple about." ”
Gillian said angrily: "What is there to taboo, what we do is not good for the big man, where is the slightest harm?"
Since he is standing upright, what do you have to hide? At this time, the more scruples you have, the more suspicious people become.
You let him in, and I'm going to ask him what he's doing! “
Da Changqiu was ordered to go out, Gillian was still angry, and threw out a puppet produced by the Yun family, so she sat up straight and waited for Yun Lang to come in.
I thought there was only one Yunlang, Gillian even prepared the teacup for beating people, but I didn't expect three people to come in, Gillian asked with a cold face, "Who are you?" ”
Sima Qian looked left and right, and felt that Gillian should be asking him, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Sima Qian, the son of Taishi Sima Tan!" ”
"What are you going to do?"
"I came specifically to make meritorious service to the nobles."
Gillian looked at Yunlang and Da Changqiu, and found that these two people were looking up at the sky, and they didn't mean to talk, so they held back their anger and continued to ask: "What kind of credit are you going to make to this palace?" ”
Sima Qian straightened up and said slowly: "If you succeed, the noble person will become the watch of eternity." ”
Gillian smiled, shook her head and said: "I hate people who speak loudly the most, you think that words are not shocking and endless, but I think such people are hateful!" ”
Sima Qian said with a smile: "The kid came to benefit the nobles, but he didn't come to ask the nobles for their consent, if the nobles didn't want to listen to the kid's advice, the kid would leave, and he didn't dare to disturb the nobles Yajing." ”
"Do you want to retreat?"
Sima Qian said with a smile: "Out of this door, the kid will immediately go to seek the help of Princess Changping." ”
Gillian sneered: "Since you are so sure, why don't you go directly to Changping?" ”
Sima Qian shook his shirt, pointed to the ink dots on his body and said, "The kid didn't have a chance to go to Princess Changping's mansion, so he was arrested by Yong'an Hou and brought to Changmen Palace." ”
Hearing Sima Qian say this, Gillian's irritable mood slowly became quieter, and she looked at Yun Lang and asked, "Is that the case?" ”
Yun Lang saw that Gillian's anger had been dissipated by Sima Qian, so he said with a smile: "If the method we pondered succeeded, all the books and slips left in the Changmen Palace could be burned as firewood, and there was no need for nobles to use such a large pavilion to store books."
One pound of paper can record 500 pounds of bamboo script, which should be a good innovation. “
"Paper?" Gillian didn't have the slightest concept of paper, so she set her eyes on Da Changqiu's body for help.
"Qi Yu noble people learned, in the past, someone with fishing nets, twine, mulberry as raw materials to make hemp paper, this kind of paper is rough, the old slave just heard that Yong'an Hou and Sima Zi came up with a new way to make paper, the paper made of white as snow, tough as cowhide, is an excellent writing material, if this method is popular in the world, my generation will no longer use the heavy bamboo slips and wooden slips for writing things.
Sima Zi just said that once this thing is popular in the world under the auspices of nobles, nobles are the expression of everything, and they are not lying to them. ”
Gillian moved her body, put her hands on her knees and let out a sigh of relief: "Is this Sima Zi her own person?" ”
Yun Lang said with a smile: "This person writes history books, and he loves books all his life, as for his temperament, Weichen is not easy to evaluate, but Weichen never hides the details of his affairs." ”
Gillian nodded and said, "That's my own person." ”
Sima Qian craned his neck and said angrily: "I was born under the Taishi Sect, I can only belong to myself, and never belong to anyone, including Your Majesty!" ”
Gillian was not angry, she turned a deaf ear to Sima Qian's words, and after ordering the palace maid to pour tea, she asked Yun Lang: "Can it be done?" ”
Yun Lang arched his hand and said: "It can be done naturally, you just need to explore it again." ”
"Can the process be complicated?"
"At the beginning, it should be very complicated, but when you become proficient, you will gradually streamline the process, reduce loss, and finally achieve the purpose of making paper cheap through large-scale manufacturing, so that everyone in the world can afford to use it.
From this point of view, it is a real eternal achievement. ”
Gillian stretched out her hand towards Yun Lang and said, "What about the secret recipe?" ”
Yun Lang took out a roll of white silk from his sleeve and put it in front of him, and Da Changqiu personally picked up the white silk and sent it to Gillian.
Gillian opened the white silk, looked at it hurriedly, and said, "The materials are not valuable, they should be feasible." ”
After speaking, he carefully folded the white silk, put it into a lacquered box on the table, and said to Da Changqiu: "Lock it in the treasury, no one is allowed to open it without authorization." ”
Da Changqiu left with the lacquer box in his hand, Gillian sighed and said, "Everyone has become a monkey, so they don't want to come to talk to me about the world, right?"
I know that you are thinking about me, but you only come when there is something like this, and you avoid it when you have nothing to do, which is not the way of communication.
You should know that I have never treated you as a courtier, but more often than not, I have treated you as a caring junior.
Although the art of papermaking has a great future, in my heart, it is better to get this thing than to let you tell me about the comfort of what you have seen and heard outside the world.
I am just a woman, and now I have a daughter, and the dynasty has little to do with me, I just want to live happily and quietly. ”
Yun Lang said solemnly: "Wei Chen has not thought about any high-ranking officials, if this life can go on peacefully, and can unfettered to show what he has learned in his chest, which will be beneficial to my relatives, Yun Lang will be satisfied."
Compared with the nobles and other Han people, Yun Lang seemed to be a person from another world, and his actions were incompatible with the rules of the Han Dynasty.
The current situation is obvious, as long as your big tree does not fall, Yunlang will be able to fulfill his wish under the protection of the nobles.
Speaking of which, Yun Lang, like nobles, just asks for a peace of mind and a sense of ease. ”
Gillian smiled: "I don't care where you come from, whether it's a goblin or a ghost, or a person from the mountain gate, over the years, we have supported each other to the present, so naturally we have to continue to support each other." ”
Yun Lang sat up straight and said in a low voice: "The years ahead will not be too easy, and the nobles should also prepare first." ”
Gillian nodded and said: "No one knows Ah Yu better than me, his heart is a bottomless pit, no matter how much warmth and love you throw in, you can't fill his heart......"
