"Song Gong took a closer look before entering, there were more than ten officials in the hall, most of them were very raw, only Emperor Guan was common in the temple.

In front of the hall, there are several cases, low stools, and two sets of paper and pencils, and there is a show that has already sat there.

Seeing this situation, Song Gongfang's letter messenger did not say nonsense, and really took him to the exam. So I went over and sat down side by side with that Xiucai.

After a while, the test papers fell from the sky. Then I took a look at it, and the inscription was eight characters: 'One person, two people, with or without heart.' ’”

Zhang You said eloquently, speaking of this, Xu Wei had already spoken: "What this question says, but it is only cautious, I am afraid that Song Gong replied to that sentence: 'If you have the heart to be good, although you are good and not rewarded, you have no intention to be evil, although you are not punished', right?" ”

"That's right," Zhang You nodded: "That's right, the title is Shen Du, and Song Gong is to punish the heart, which is very appropriate, the hall official was overjoyed after circulating, and called him to the front, and the chief official said: 'Jiangnan is now lacking a city god, and Mr.'s talent can be a heavy responsibility, and now he will hand over this position to Mr., but it is a big deal.'" “

"Chenghuang?" Xu Wei rolled his eyes, but the rest of the people listened more and more fascinated, Zhang You saw his white eyes, but he didn't pay attention to him, and went down to talk to himself: "When Song Gong heard this, he suddenly understood the truth. Helplessly, there is no one to take care of the old mother, and it is a beautiful thing to suddenly become a god, but how can you bear to abandon the old mother. He cried and worshiped on the ground, begged all the immortals, and showed mercy, allowing him to support his old mother until the end of his life, and then go to work.

The hall was the first immortal, deeply moved, and immediately ordered someone to check the book of life and death, and learned that his mother still had nine years of life.

The gods don't know what to do. Emperor Guan proposed that although he was not as good as Song Gong, he was also a benevolent person, so he might as well let him serve for nine years, and after the expiration of the period, it would not be too late for Song Gong to take over. When the gods heard this, they all had no objection, and they all praised this method as feasible.

Song Gong and Na Xiucai bid farewell to the immortals, and broke up with Na Xiucai outside the city, and introduced each other at the time of parting. When he returned home, he suddenly woke up and had been lying in the coffin for several days. This time he came back from the dead, his mother was overjoyed, and asked the reason, he felt that this matter was too absurd, and he didn't dare to say anything to his mother, so he prevaricated casually, and only secretly inquired about the Xiucai surnamed Zhang, and sure enough, he died on the same day. So far he believed, and did not go to participate in the imperial examination, only at home to serve the old mother, so after nine years, his mother really died of illness, he knew that the deadline had come, burned incense and bathed, lay at home, passed away peacefully, the soul out of the body, through the door, but saw that the frame outside the door had been waiting for a long time, busy with the carriage, when passing by the door of the door of the father-in-law, he had entered to say goodbye, without saying a word, the father-in-law was surprised, sent someone to his house, only to know that he had died. ”

This is the story in Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", Zhang You told it according to his memory, Li Yan and Chen sighed, Cao Sheng also yearned for it, only Xu Wei snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "What fairies and ghosts are all deceitful, after people die, they are all deceitful, and they don't know anything." ”

Zhang You couldn't imagine that this duke was still an atheist, so he laughed and said, "It's like you've really died...... Oh, yes, I've really died, haven't I died! ”

Xu Wei glanced at him: "Get out of yours, which pot won't be opened, right?" Believe it or not, I pumped you? ”

"Believe it, believe it, I'm wrong, right? Don't be like me...... Don't talk nonsense, Wen Changgong, after the newspaper is opened, you can write more articles. ”

"I don't write ...... for nothing"

Xu Wei said proudly, but was interrupted by Zhang You with a smile before he finished speaking: "Who said that you wrote in vain?" I'm going to open a column in the newspaper to invite university scholars like you and Fengzhou Gong to publish articles, and the manuscript fee will be preferential, so that the value of our newspaper will be raised at once. ”

Without waiting for Xu Wei to speak, Cao Sheng's eyes lit up, and he praised: "It's really a good idea, readers, there may be people who don't value power and money, but there is no one who doesn't want to leave a name in history, in this way, they can spread their own articles and ideas, and there is money to earn, there must be a lot of people who want to publish articles in our column." ”

Zhang You was very concerned about Cao Sheng's ability to draw inferences from one another, and said: "That's right, that's right, to run a newspaper, you must first grasp the psychology of people, so that everyone can get used to the existence of newspapers, and it will be uncomfortable if you don't read it every day, and finally be able to guide public opinion, 'sneak into the night with the wind, moisturize things silently', which is the most brilliant realm." ”

Cao Sheng nodded and was taught, and Zhang You passed on his experience in running a newspaper in Beijing, and he was also inspired by him and made a lot of suggestions.

At this point, although the newspaper has not been officially established, Cao Sheng already has a systematic understanding, just waiting to buy a good place, "recruit troops and buy horses", and soon, "Jiangnan Daily" will be published - it is still Chen's idea, I feel that it is easy to be confused with Jingshi if it is still called "Ming Pao", since it mainly reports on the affairs of Jiangnan, it is simply called this name.

Although Cao Sheng seemed a little shy, he was quite neat in his work, and he bought two courtyards on the same day, and Zhang You found someone to clean up the residence by himself, and Li Yan supervised the work, and it took three days to make it look great, so everyone moved out of the General Military Mansion and lived in it directly.

Since there is no fanfare, no outsiders know the news, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble.

However, Zhang You still set up a few tables of banquets, and did not invite others, only Qi Jiguang and Cao Sheng's family, and a few of Qi Jiguang's subordinates, everyone drank freely, and the noise dispersed until midnight.

Now that they have their own nest, Zhang You and Li Yan naturally live in the inner house, only Sihan waits, Xu Wei does not leave the traveler and Mo Rigen and they all live in front, this is convenient, waiting for Sihan to fall asleep, Zhang You can't help but sneak into Li Yan's house, and only go back to his room when the sky is bright.

When he got up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Liu Xiangdong came in and replied before he finished washing: "Young master, I just got the news, Wei Yunzhen will be in Suzhou tomorrow, and those officials and rich gentry are discussing going to Suzhou to pick him up and wash the dust, should we go?" ”

"Phew" spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, and handed the cup to Sihan who was waiting next to him, Zhang You said disdainfully: "Don't go, what's wrong with that time?" Give him the wind? He's a ?? ”

Liu Xiangdong said with a smile: "I know that the young master is not going either, I just want to tell you." As he spoke, he walked out, but Zhang You stopped him: "Wait a minute, send an invitation to the rich master nearby, it means that I will have a banquet in Huixian Tower at night, and there are people who are interested in the Daming silver semicolon and the products of Gewu can go with the post, damn, I want to see if it is important to give Wei Yunzhen the wind or make money." ”

Liu Xiangdong was stunned and smiled bitterly, his young master, sometimes he was really a little childish, nodded in agreement, and was about to go out, but when he saw Xu Wei hurriedly entering the yard, Lao Yuan'er shouted, "I remembered, I remembered, * his uncle, Lao Tzu finally remembered where to deal with...... "I couldn't help but be stunned, what did I think of?"
