Chapter 109: The Old Son of the Grange, Jiang Taiyi
Li Mi didn't expect that in the mouth of this little servant, he would be able to hear such a secret, which made him completely subvert everything in his heart!
Li Mi was silent for a long time, and then asked the little officer: "What is that person's surname, where is he from, there must be a criminal record, right?" ”
After Li Mi asked, he was a little funny, Zhou Yu is so meticulous, how can he leave a flaw?
Sure enough, the little official tried to recall, and then said to Li Mi: "This is not clear, we are all subordinates, and I don't know, but the county magistrate at that time should know... It's just that he has resigned and returned to the field..."
Li Mi is not a person who resigns himself to fate, he doesn't even believe in the destiny of heaven, not to mention that Zhou Yu is such a mortal, how can he let him play with it!
Zhou Yu is not a traverser, but he is a genuine child, even if Zhou Yu is also a traverser, a traverser from a thousand years later, will he still lose to a traverser a thousand years ago?
The wheel of history is rolling forward, metabolism, the vicissitudes of life, who can stop it, history can turn, but it will never turn back, he Li Mi will not lose!
After a short period of shock and confusion, Li Mi finally strengthened his belief in his heart, Zhou Yu may let him suffer setbacks, but this setback can only make Li Mi's heart stronger!
Li Mi secretly clenched his fists, and then asked the little officer, "Little brother, do you know where the old magistrate lives?" ”
The little official was also weak when he thought about it, after all, he took Li Mi's silver, but what he said was what Li Mi had heard of, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, so he said to Li Mi.
"The boss lives on the outskirts of the city, and there is nothing to do, how about the small one lead the way?"
The old magistrate county was disgraced, and then he resigned and went into hiding, and he had closed the door to thank the guests, what he was afraid of was that someone would bring up the old things again, and this little official led it, although it was convenient, and it was not impossible to find it, but it was inevitable to cause the old magistrate to be unhappy, and it was difficult to find out what he wanted to hear at that time.
Thinking about this section, Li Mi said to the servant: "Thank you for your kindness, but you haven't dispersed yet, and if you go with me, you will inevitably be pointed out..."
As soon as Li Mi said this, the official also smiled and said: "It's rare to catch the head so reasonably, the old magistrate lives in Baishuiwu on the outskirts of the city, he has taken a case in the past, and that manor is his real estate, and he doesn't let people in on weekdays..."
Saying this, the official added: "But the little one who catches the head is not an ordinary person, and he won't turn away if he wants to come to Lao Zhi County, but it's a small event..."
Li Mi hugged his fists and thanked him, but he didn't stop, while inquiring, he came to this white water dock.
Suzhou Mansion has been outstanding since ancient times, Suzhou Garden is even more famous, although this white water dock is an old dock, but after a transformation of skilled craftsmen, it has become a blessed land.
Li Mi hadn't gone in yet, but when he got closer, he felt that the breeze was blowing, full of blue, fragrant and refreshing.
The green trees in the water belt near and far, the pavilions and pavilions of high and low, and the white walls of Daiwa are really pleasing to the eye.
Li Mi came to the door, but it was just an old man, fishing on the edge of the pond, with a book on his lap, Li Mi looked at it, but it was "New Words of Cutting Lanterns", which is an art novel with a scale comparable to that of the Golden Plum!
This "New Words of Cutting the Lantern" was already published during the Hongwu period of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was not printed and circulated among the literati in the form of a manuscript.
Li Mi has a soft spot for these books and novels, after all, there was not much night entertainment in ancient times, and Li Mi didn't like to go to the kiln, reading these novels is not as boring as other books, and it is the best choice to understand this era and the world.
It was only when he was looking for this book that he knew that "New Words of Cutting the Lantern" was actually a banned book during the Wanli period, and he had no chance to see the real book.
Now I saw that this old man had a copy in his hand, Li Mi was also happy to see the hunting, the old man was dozing off, Li Mi was playful, so he took the book and read a few pages.
Since it is a copy, it is naturally handmade, the copyist is small, but also neat, what is gratifying is that there are a few illustrations in it, vivid, full of spring, causing a great impact on the vision, it is really wonderful!
Li Miben just wanted to have some fun, but after watching it, he thought it was pretty good!
He didn't want to disturb the old man, so he sat next to him and read the book, at this time the water splashed, and the fishing rod was almost dragged down the pond.
The old man was also sleeping in a daze, snoring loudly, Li Mi simply took over, fishing and reading, I saw that there was a wine gourd next to the old man, pull out the cork and smell it, it was actually a sweet mash wine, mellow and sweet, but not too delicious!
Li Mi reads books, fishes and drinks, it is also pleasant, at this time the fishing rod bent down again, Li Mi hurriedly put down the things at hand, suddenly lifted it, hooked the fish, and then dragged it to the shore without hurry, and then lifted the fish.
However, this time it was a carp that was caught, constantly fluttering, splashing in all directions, and the fish actually hit Lao Er's head and face!
"Ugh!"
Lao Er exclaimed, and then fell back, Li Mi was also panicked, hurriedly dropped things, and helped the old man in time.
The old man's face was full of fish, and he was frightened, and when he saw Li Mi's unfamiliar face, he immediately became alert and shouted at Li Mi.
"Who are you, how did you break in?"
Li Mi also said stubbornly: "I offended my brother, the kid is a fast catcher in Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, and I want to ask Master Jiang Bi in some cases..."
"But the old brother's book is really wonderful, the kid has been looking for a long time, but there is no chance to see it, now the heavens are beautiful, by chance, the kid is abrupt, this look is into the idiot, I really can't put it down, I didn't expect the fish to be hooked..."
Li Mi also knows that this is a banned book, and it can't be publicized, and besides, it is loved by men and women, if this old man is discovered, he is afraid that he will be scolded for being an old man who does not cultivate.
Moreover, looking at this old man's nervous and flustered appearance, Li Mi knew that he was a thief with a weak heart, and this book must have come from him secretly.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Mi said this, the old man's face looked better, and he said to Li Mi: "You kid is also a knowledgeable person, this thing is not easy to find, and the old man is also a lot of money... Ahem... I'm talking to you about what I'm doing, take my book, get out of here, it's a private grange, don't enter, you know! ”
Li Mi has a set of ways to deal with the old man, don't you see that the old man Xiang Mu is a brother and brother with him, Li Mi.
When he heard this at this time, he pinched the temperament of this old man by seven or eight points, and immediately said to the old man.
"Don't worry, brother, there is a deal here to discuss with my brother..."
Lao Er waved his hand and said: "Look at my manor, what do you want, what can you do, what can you do, you leave quickly, don't make noise!" ”
Li Mi also pretended to regret and said: "Alas... I wanted to exchange my own golden plum words with my brother for two days, but it's a pity, it's okay, it's gone! ”
Li Mi had seen it in Lu Chongning's Lu Xiucai's study earlier, but he hid it secretly, and then he saw it again in Yuan Keli's study, and then he cheekily asked the old man Xiang Mu where he was, and put the golden bottle plum words in his pocket.
In ancient times, there was no suitcase or anything like that, the burden was soft and inconvenient to store, and Li Mi thought that the scholar's bamboo pipe was too much of a hindrance, so he took the golden bottle of plum words as the bottom, and the burden became tough.
Of course, if you are bored, you can also take it out and take a look, after all, the night is long, read some little yellow books, oh no, reading some highly academic professional books is helpful to Li Mi's physical and mental health.
Li Mi really saw the psychology of the old man, and when he heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Li Mi and said, "What are you talking about?" Do you have a script for "The Golden Plum"? ”
Li Mi was not verbose, and immediately untied the bag, took out the hard-sealed script at the bottom, and offered it with both hands.
The old man stretched out his hand several times, as if in disbelief, and then took the notebook, rubbed the cover, and muttered, "It's true... It's true..."
Li Mi couldn't let him succeed easily, and before he could take a closer look, he snatched the script back and stuffed it into his bag.
"What are you doing?"
"Xiao Ke originally came to visit Master Jiang Bi, but now that Master Jiang is closed, Xiao Ke can only go back for the time being..."
When the old man heard this, he was also anxious, and grabbed Li Mi and said: "Don't be impatient to go, so I can teach you that I, Jiang Taiyi, am Jiang Bi's Laozi, and it's not easy to see him, so you are not allowed to go!" ”
Li Mi didn't expect that this old man who was confused and read yellow books in broad daylight would be Jiang Taiyi, the father of the former magistrate of Jiading County, and he was also overjoyed in his heart, but knowing that he had aroused the appetite of this old man, Li Mi naturally couldn't be too casual, otherwise he would fall behind.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Jiang, the kid was rude... I'm peeking at your books and drinking your wine, and I don't have the face to stay any longer..."
Jiang Taiyi was even more anxious, grabbed Li Mi and defended Li Mi: "No, no, no, I Jiang Taiyi likes to make friends the most, especially friends who love books like life, young men like you are rare, and the old man is like old man at first sight, you must stay, so that the old man can do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, what is the matter of just a little wine!" ”
Li Mi saw that the time was ripe, so he pretended to be happy and said: "That's naturally good, this book "New Words on Cutting the Lamp", the kid has been thinking about it for a long time... It's just..."
When Mrs. Jiang saw Li Mi's agreement, her heart was happy, and when she heard Li Mi's hesitation, she was also annoyed, and asked impatiently, "Just what?" ”
Li Mi said solemnly: "The kid came here to ask Master Jiang Bi for help this time, if he can't finish the errand, he doesn't have much heart to read..."
Jiang Taiyi was also suddenly, and said to Li Mi: "What is this, there is an old man out of the horse, there is no unfinished errand, you can live with peace of mind, read books and drink and fish with me, although that stinky boy is enchanted, but the old man and my words, he does not dare not listen." ”
When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Lord Jiang has fallen into the devil? Where does this begin? ”
Jiang Taiyi waved his hand irritably and said, "Don't mention these uninteresting things, the old man will take you in for a casual stroll first!" ”
Li Mi thought that this old man would be impatient to read, but he didn't expect him to take him around the garden, and his face couldn't help but have some doubts.
Jiang Taiyi seemed to see Li Mi's thoughts, and leaned over and smiled: "Brother, you should know that reading this book at night is enough to taste, yes or no?" ”
Li Mi: "... ..."
