The market was full of all kinds of cries of tempting people to find out the truth, and many gentry who came out earlier couldn't help but buy one with curiosity.

When they handed the newsboy ten cents, they immediately opened the newspaper and read it. There were four copies of the paper, and at the top of each one was written four large letters: Asahi Shimbun.

Below the big characters is a line of small words: the news comes from the people, the editorials come from the editor-in-chief, and has nothing to do with the Wu family bookstore, the Wu family bookstore only does the porter of Daming news, if you have any questions, you can consult the fork and fork.

The gentry shook his head secretly, and said in his heart Hey, I didn't expect that the Wu family, who has always been lawless, is still afraid, oh, by the way, it must have been done by Wu Dashan, right? However, Wu Dashanren's words have taken away the disasters that may be brought to the Wu family in advance.

After thinking about it, the corner of the gentry's mouth flashed with a smile, and then looked down, the opening article is to introduce the matter of Zhizhou Gui Zixiao writing the poem "Yonglian", which said that although Gui Zixiao's "Yonglian" poem is good, it is suspected of plagiarizing the ancients, and gives examples.

The gentry nodded and shook their heads, apparently disagreeing with the arguments of the editor-in-chief named Gardenia. But in my heart, I admire this gardenia very much, after all, Gui Zixiao is the governor of Taicang Mansion, and plucking the hair on the head of the governor of Taicang Mansion, how much courage does it take?

The next news is all about "cats and dogs", the gentry pouted, and finally saw the third page, which was the signed article "Sick Plum is Not Beautiful" published by Sheyang Jushi.

Jiangning Longpan, Suzhou Deng Wei, Hangzhou Xixi, all produce plum. Or say: "Mei is beautiful in song, and straight is in no posture; Take the beauty as the beauty, and there is no scenery in the right way; Sparse is beautiful, and dense is stateless. "Guya. This literati painter knows what he means, and he can't make it clear that the big one is the plum of the world; And it is not allowed to make the people of the world straighten, delete secrets, hoe and straighten, and take the plum disease as a business to seek money.

The song of Mei Zhihuan's sparseness is not stupid and money-seeking people can use their intelligence. There are literati painters who are lonely and secretive to tell the plum, cut it, raise its side strips, delete its secrets, kill its young branches, hoe its straight, curb its anger, in order to seek a heavy price, and the plums of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all sick. The calamity of the literati and painters is so fierce!

…….

However, the beauty of plum is as good as a curve? Definitely! The Great Sage of the Past said: What is beauty? Filial piety is beautiful, benevolence is beautiful, courtesy is beautiful, righteousness is beautiful...... I have never heard of the beauty of loss.

If the loss is beautiful, why should the saint say it......

Alack! Ande makes more leisure days, and more idle fields, to store the sick plums of Jiangning, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, and the time of poverty to treat the plums!

After the gentry finished reading "The Sick Plum is Not Beautiful" in one breath, he was excited, then read it again, and then shouted in admiration. The passers-by next to him thought he was crazy, and they all glanced at him as if they were crazy. But the gentry ignored it, and took the newspaper and shouted: "A thousand years of strange writing, a thousand years of strange writing!" ”

Of course, he was not the only one who happened to the gentry, on the streets, on the bridges, in teahouses, taverns, theaters, and in all the shops...... Countless people are exclaiming. It's just that their exclamations are different, some exclaim is a signed article published by Sheyang Jushi, some exclaim is the courage of Gardenia Gong to criticize Zhizhou, and some are found that the news recorded in the newspaper is the protagonist themselves...... Some people also exclaimed that the grain in the Wu family's grain shop was actually greatly rewarded, and the price was reduced.

Gui Zixiao took the Asahi Shimbun, and after seeing Gardenia's signed article criticizing him, the muscles in his face trembled, and he was speechless for a long time when he looked at Gui Linlang.

Okay, you dead girl, you actually cut your father?

Obviously, Gardenia Gong is Linlang's pen name.

Linlang's mood has changed since she was hugged by Daozi that day, although she still hates Daozi in her heart, but she still can't forget Daozi's cool appearance in the Moon Pavilion "pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan".

Daozi came to the governor's mansion the day before yesterday to ask to see Linlang, Linlang blocked him out of the door, and let the dog bite him, and finally saw him flee in the wilderness, and the anger of that day disappeared. However, Daozi's letter Linlang still read it, except for saying something sour and itchy, apologies and the like, hoping that Zhizhou Guizi Xiaocan publish some signed articles in the "Asahi Shimbun".

Linlang thought about it for a long time, and still took Daozi's letter to find Gui Zixiao, but Gui Zixiao sternly refused, the reason is that he is the governor of Taicang, and he must be cautious in his words and deeds.

Linlang was angry and saw that persuasion was useless, so he used his pen name Gardenia Gong to publish a signed article criticizing Gui Zixiao's poem "Yonglian" as revenge.

It is precisely because of this that Gui Zixiao was speechless after seeing the article written by Linlang, and could only smile bitterly in his heart.

Ma family. After reading "Asahi Shimbun", Ma Wencai's face was extremely gloomy, but the Liangxi people around him tore open the newspaper and looked at it with relish, and sighed while watching: "Wu beggar, worthy of being Wu beggar, this ability to turn decay into magic is really amazing!" ”

When Ma Wencai heard Liang Xiren's words, he stomped his feet angrily, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on Liangxi people, so he could only say with a wry smile: "Brother Liang, now that the situation is so unfavorable to my brother, why do you still praise that Wu beggar?" ”

Liang Xiren couldn't help but hear about it, and he also knew what Ma Wencai was worried about, just because he was afraid that Wu beggar would control the public opinion of the Taicang Mansion through the "Asahi Shimbun", which would be unfavorable to the Ma family.

It's just a blessing and a curse, no one can say anything about this world, don't look at the Wu family's current "gold full bed, silver full bed, very noisy" It is not good to say that tomorrow will be "a mess of graves and very desolate".

The orchid fingers were slightly warped, and the Kunqu opera cavity flowed out naturally during the conversation, Liang Xiren's starry eyes were shining, and he lowered his head and smiled softly: "Brother Ma, if you want to turn disadvantages into advantages, it's simple, why don't you also learn from that Wu beggar to make a "Asahi Shimbun"?" ”

Make a "Asahi Shimbun" too?

Ma Wencai was stunned by Liang Qingyi's suggestion at first, and then shook his head and said: "Brother Liang, you are joking, the Ma family is not comparable to the Wu family, where is there so much money to squander?" ”

Liangxi people seemed to have expected Ma Wencai to say this, stretched out his onion finger and tapped Ma Wencai's chest and said: "You, you just want to trap the 'wolf', but you don't want to give up the 'child'!" ”

Ma Wencai was said by Liang Xiren, his old face turned red, not because he didn't want to run newspapers and periodicals, but because he had no experience, and he was afraid that he would not see the benefits by throwing money in, so he could only change the topic with a smile and say: "Brother Liang, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Liang Xiren saw that Ma Wen was like this, he looked at him whitely, and his heart was sad, this Ma brother is so good that the pattern is too small, but who made you my confidant?

Liang Xiren finally decided to remind: "Brother Ma, haven't you seen the annotation written under the Asahi Shimbun? ”

Exegesis?

Ma Wencai picked up the newspaper and read it when he heard this, and then suddenly realized that Liang Qingyi wanted him to treat him in the same way.

Liang Qingyi refers to the people of Liangxi, who are famous for singing Qingyi.

"Thank you Brother Liang for your advice, I will go to Wang Xiucai and ask him to publish a signed article criticizing Wu Chengen" Ma Wencai bowed down and was happy to be a fart.

When Liangxi saw Ma Wencai leaving, he picked up the bronze mirror and felt sorry for himself, humming a passage from the Kunqu opera "The Legend of the West Chamber": "If it weren't for Zhang Jieyuan, who knew a lot of people, who would be able to quit this fight?" ”
