Chapter 058 - Signed Article

The spring breeze is blowing, the willows are still around, the vast grassland, the flowers are blooming, two yellow orioles, a line of egrets, and a few pairs of mandarin ducks...... At this time, countless scenes passed in Daozi's mind. Suddenly, a wild horse crisscrossed the grassland and chirped, and Daozi woke up. Then he ran out of the small park, and he wanted to ask his father, is Lin Lang Linlang?

Zhang Shipei watched Daozi run away, and laughed: Little doll, you think of spring!

It's just that if Jiayi, the little witch of the Xu family, knows that Little Master Daozi, you empathize and don't fall in love, I don't know what fun she will have in it? I'm really looking forward to it!

Zhang Shipei's eyes appeared with gossip gold.

After Daozi confirmed that Lin Lang was Linlang from his father, he kept smirking and said that the girl of the gardenia, Young Master Ben not only saw it, smelled it, but also touched it, hehe......

Daozi regrets it very much now, he regrets that he took a bath, if he didn't wash it, he must still have the residual warmth and fragrance of Linlang's body on his hands and body.

Xing'er smirked when she saw Daozi on the road, thinking that she was crazy, and she was anxious to pull Daozi to go to Xu's house for treatment. Daozi waved his hand and said that he was not sick, but just happy.

Xing'er still didn't believe it, and told her good sister Mei'er about it, Mei'er pondered for a long time, and the little young master who looked at the pavilion and the second master planning big things suddenly had a bright eye, she whispered to Xing'er, and told what she guessed.

The second master naturally said Wu Chengen, Wu Dashan has no brothers, only this cousin Wu Chengen, so everyone in the house calls the second master.

Xing'er's eyes widened, her face changed several times, and finally she said a little stubbornly: "The young master is really, he is already like Miss Jiayi, how can he still ......?"

Apparently the wise Mei'er guessed the reason for the giggle and joy of the Daozi.

Just when Xing'er and Mei'er whispered and cheated on Daozi, Daozi was in good spirits on happy occasions and was discussing big things with his second uncle Wu Chengen.

The so-called major event is the matter of the editor-in-chief article of the first edition of the Asahi Shimbun.

Wu Chengen is now the first playwright of the Wu Family Grand Theater, and Daozi plans to give him another title: the contracted editor-in-chief of the Asahi Shimbun.

Daozi told Wu Chengen that the editor-in-chief of his newspaper is divided into contracted editor-in-chief and temporary editor-in-chief. The contracted editor-in-chief is an employment relationship and receives an annual salary, while the non-contracted editor-in-chief is a temporary worker and receives money according to the article.

Wu Chengen doesn't care whether he signs a contract or not, anyway, he is a lot older, and he is an old bachelor, so he naturally looks down on money.

However, Daozi's words still made him excited: he didn't have a "Golden House" and "Yan Ruyu" in his life, but he still hoped to be on the stall after his death.

And "Asahi Shimbun" is the best platform for him to leave a name in history.

Daozi will not forget his original intention of running a newspaper, that is, to advocate the "non-foot-binding movement". Therefore, the first editorial he asked Wu Chengen to publish in the Asahi Shimbun was to discuss the history of aesthetic changes in ancient and modern times with Mei as the title.

The concept of aesthetics was not put forward by anyone in the Ming Dynasty, and it was absolutely unprecedented for Daozi to put it forward. Listening to Daozi's narration of the aesthetics of ancient and modern literati to Mei, if Wu Chengen was not Daozi's second uncle, he would definitely smash him to death with bricks. Because Daozi's knowledge has exceeded the scope of his Wu Chengen's cognition, this is too demonic.

The reason why Daozi dared to express his true inner thoughts in front of the second uncle was because he believed in this second uncle and believed that he would not harm him. After all, he is now the only seedling of the Wu family in Huai'an and the Wu family in Taicang.

Aesthetics is a very broad concept, and the reason why Daozi wants to mention it so big is to let people see the changes in Chinese aesthetics clearly, so as to lay the foundation for public opinion and ideology for him to turn the spearhead to "foot binding is not beauty but perversion".

Sometimes Daozi thinks that if he wasn't young, he would definitely plagiarize Gong Zizhen's "Sick Plum Pavilion" and publish a signed article directly.

It's just that now he can't. can only tell the vernacular version of "The Story of the Sick Plum Pavilion" to Wu Chengen, and he believes that Wu Chengen will definitely not be worse than Gong Zizhen after the editing of the writing.

Wu Chengen's spirit was flying when he listened, and he even took a pen and waved it on the spot.

After the theme article was finalized, Daozi set his sights on news gathering again. After all, he runs the "Asahi Shimbun", so he naturally has to focus on the shortcomings of ordinary people's parents.

Well, there are often interesting scenes in Taicang Mansion.

I saw that wherever there was a quarrel, where something was lost, or even where something strange happened, there would always be two people, one was a boy and the other was a teenager.

The boy took a pen to record what happened, and the boy was grinding ink for new paper.

Three days passed, and Wan Shihe finally sent ten sets of burned thousand characters to Wu Mansion. The decoration of the Wu family's bookstore has already been completed, and the paper, ink and related craftsmen for engraving newspapers and periodicals are all ready, and they are waiting for Daozi's order to engrave at this time.

The abnormal behavior of the Wu family has already attracted the attention of the gentry of Taicang Mansion, especially when the Wu family sent 10,000 taels of silver to the Wanshihe family, it was a sensation in the whole city, and the Wanshihe family was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

Wan Shihe didn't know what kind of thoughts he had in return, and finally donated 6,000 taels to the government in front of Zhizhou Gui Zixiao to help the villagers. Gui Zixiao was overjoyed, and personally wrote a pair of calligraphy and paintings to Wan Shihe to commend his gentry spirit.

The people in the whole city are envious, jealous, scolding, and praising all of them, but there is one thing that no one dares to beat the idea of the Wanshihe family.

10,000 taels of silver witnessed the Wu family's generosity, and now everyone is looking forward to the Wu family's bookstore, they want to see what is the bull in this Wu family's bookstore with such a large investment.

Before dawn in the morning, Taicang Mansion was immersed in silence. But the Wu Family Bookstore is an exception, and everyone is waiting for the last moment at the moment.

Wu Dashan, Wu Chengen, and Liu Xiucai are also there, and they want to witness the miracle that Daozi has created for them.

Daozi was very calm at this time, he knew that what he had done was over, and the next thing was to look at the marketing skills of the poor teenagers hired on the Caoyun Wharf in front of him.

When the door of the bookstore was opened, about 20 young men left the bookstore one after another, carrying baskets.

The prosperity of Taicang Mansion began for a day, but almost at the same time, in all corners of Taicang Mansion, on the streets, on the bridge, and outside the gentry's mansions, there were young newspaper boys shouting:

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, why did the white cat of Widow Liu's family give birth to a black cat, is this a moral degradation, or a distortion of human nature......"

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the three brothers of the Li family are fighting for land and property, the old mother is sick in bed, and the old Wang next door is ......"

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, Wu's grain shop is a big deal today, all you buy three buckets of grain, it is cheaper......"

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Wujia Grand Theater, tomorrow will stage "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" ......"

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Mr. Sheyang published a signed article: Sick plums are not beautiful, attacking the morbid aesthetics of today's literati ......"

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Zhizhou has a new work "Yonglian Poem", but it is recognized by Gardenia as suspected of plagiarism......"
