"Uncle Mao, what you brought here is ......"

Li Guangyan looked at this book and was a little surprised, now that his life is not rich, he ...... buy books This kind of thing was a long time ago in her memory.

"The villain saw it in the shop where he used to buy cloth, and his shop now also sells books, and the book is beautifully printed, so the villain brought it back."

"This book...... It has to cost a lot of money, right? Grabbing the book in her hand and smelling a strange smell of ink, Li Guangyan was in a slight trance, and then the embarrassment of her livelihood brought her back to reality, and she said softly: "Mozhu, give Uncle Mao the money ...... the book."

Mo Zhu, the only maid beside her, stood up with a pout, and the old servant Li Mao hurriedly waved his hand: "Miss, don't want money, this book is a gift, don't want money!" ”

"Sent?" Li Guangyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the cover of the book, the cover made of good rice paper, printed with the four big characters of "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous", and also equipped with prints. Li Guangyan recognized that when the family road had not yet fallen, she had seen her father copy: "This is the "Qingming Riverside Picture", ah......"

"That's exactly what I delivered, the shopkeeper said, we often go to buy cloth, so I sent a copy to us."

Before Li Guangyan could speak, Mo Zhu suddenly smiled and said, "That shopkeeper is really a good person...... This book is so good. ”

"If you want money, you don't look good, and if you don't want money, you look good, you've become a little money fan." Li Guangyan gently twisted her.

"That's natural, we are five people, young and old, just rely on Miss's needlework, if you don't save a little, Miss will have to stay up all night, and ruin your eyes and body, don't we all have to drink the northwest wind?"

The little girl is a fast talker, her mouth is crackling, Li Guangyan smiled lightly, noncommittal, Li Mao shrunk his neck, and said with a smile: "That's, what Miss Mozhu said is very true!" ”

Li Guangyan opened "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous", saw that the first part was "Local Customs", saw Jinhua ham, and Mo Zhu, who also had a head next to him, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

When his father was in office, someone also gave Jinhua ham, Li Guangyan didn't think it was delicious at the time, but now he has some memories of the salty and astringent taste.

The second part of "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" is anecdotes, the first part is written about the Tongcheng civil rebellion that shook the southeast, more than 2,000 words, the whole incident is narrated from beginning to end, only at the last moment, commented, said "The people are resentful, and the gentry must not ignore it."

The second part is the method of raising chickens, this article talks about how to use cow dung to raise earthworms and then feed chickens with earthworms, the whole process is very detailed from the warm kang egg raising to disease control. Li Guangyan's heart moved violently after seeing it, this is a good way!

"Uncle Mao, go and inquire, how much is a chicken now." After thinking about it, Li Guangyan said.

Li Mao was a little puzzled: "Why does the young lady ask this?" ”

"Just ask!" Mo Zhu's eyes widened.

"Mozhu, don't be rude to your father!" Li Guangyan gave her a blank look.

Mo Zhu was suddenly bored, Li Guangyan pointed to the "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" and said: "This book is written about the method of raising chickens, I think there is something feasible, if it can be ......"

Speaking of which, she is a little gloomy, if she can succeed, what can she do, it is nothing more than to make the family more comfortable.

"Yes, the villain will inquire." Li Mao: This is leaving.

"Don't worry, don't hurry, there are still some things, you have to inquire, get half an acre of wasteland outside the city, how much is the approximate price, and there is a small house, you can live in two people......" Li Guangyan ordered one by one, and it was also a loss that Li Mao was a careful person, and he remembered it clearly, and after repeating it, he said: "If it's right, the villain will go and inquire." ”

"There you go."

"Miss, how is this book?" After Li Mao left, Mo Zhu asked again.

"This book is good, if what is said in the book is true, the person who compiled the book has made a great merit." Li Guangyan spoke softly.

She looked down again, the third part of the book is "Extraterritorial Travels", the whole is in the vernacular, talking about the customs and customs of the Taixi countries, when it comes to the silk and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, once it reaches Taixi, its price may even increase several times or even dozens of times, Li Guangyan suddenly brightened again.

But then her eyes turned gloomy again, and she traded with Taixi, not to mention the difficult journey across the ocean, which was the principal she needed, which was far from what Li Guangyan could bear.

The last part of the book is "Strange Tales of the Other Courtyards", and in its editor's note, it is stated that there will be a story in each issue, and the story of this issue is called "Infant Ning".

"Fairy fox ghosts, cute people?" Thinking of the introduction in the editor's note, Li Guangyan smiled and looked down again.

The story of "Infant Ning" was told by Yu Guozhen to Liu Ru, of course, he told it very simply, there was only one synopsis, and Liu Ru wrote it into a tactful and moving story with a wonderful pen. As soon as the simple and smiling infant Ningfu appeared, she attracted Li Guangyan, and the plot made her unable to let go of the book anymore, even the ink bamboo beside her also lay on her shoulder to watch.

When turning to the last page, the story comes to an abrupt end at its most exciting, with a line of small words written in the last row: "If you want to know what happens next, and see how it will be broken down in the next issue".

If it is a reader of later generations, when he sees this sentence, he must scold "eunuch", "unfinished", "entering the palace" and the like, and at this time, Li Guangyan can't help but complain: "It's a good sale!" ”

Mo Zhu next to her was demented, still thinking about the story in her head, as if she was depressed, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses: "Miss...... What about the back, what's going on in the back? ”

"How do I know, I don't see it." Li Guangyan sighed, and at the same time secretly admired in his heart.

Don't look at the first issue of "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" as a gift, but after reading "Infant Ning", as long as you have the ability, I'm afraid you will buy a copy.

She closed the book with affection, saw a line of small print printed on the back cover, and took a closer look: The price is fifteen Wenzheng.

"It's only fifteen!"

Li Guangyan was stunned for a moment, she is not a person who has never bought books, whether it is at home in Hubei, or on the way to take office with her father, she has bought a lot of books, but these books were later lost. In her memory, the book of fifteen wen...... Generally, they are shoddy Fujian goods.

But this book is so delicate that it can't be seen!

"Ah, fifteen wen...... If it's fifteen...... Maybe...... Possible...... Can we buy another one? Mo Zhu also saw the price tag, and her eyes were full of longing: "Just buy one copy and see the ending of "Infant Ning". ”

"I'm just afraid that I can't stop......," Li Guangyan said in a low voice.

"I really can't stop!"

In the midst of the cyclamen, a scholar put down the book in his hand and said loudly.

"What is Brother Sima talking about?" The scholar next to him asked with a smile.

"Naturally, this is the "Storm Collection", looking at the strange things outside the territory, how can it not make people yearn for it! At the beginning, Mr. Donglin's book 'family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned', I always feel strange, why Mr. Donglin put the world's affairs after the country's affairs, and now I understand that the world is big, although I am a state, but not the only big country! ”

"Oh? In the past few days, I have heard you say that "Storm Collection" I don't know how many times, yesterday Cao Bowei said that the legend of the gods of Taixi is chaotic, and it is really a kingdom of birds and beasts without ordinary ethics, and today I heard you say that Taixi also has a big country...... I'd like to see what this "Storm Set" is all about. ”

"An Le Jushi didn't even watch "Storm Collection"?" Another person smiled and said: "It seems that this fat powder land on the bank of the Qinhuai River really lives up to its reputation, and even Anle laymen linger here, and they don't care about anything anymore." ”

"This should be Gu Hengbo's mistake, these times it is said that Anle Jushi is all lingering in Hengbo Meilou, of course, he doesn't even have time to watch "Storm Collection"!" Another gentleman laughed.

The man known as An Le Jushi laughed, not at all dissatisfied: "I am not Huang Shizhai, he can remember in his eyes and in his heart, but I Wang Zhengzhi can't do it......"

Everyone immediately laughed, this is an allusion, at that time, Mr. Huang Daozhou, a Taoist scholar of Donglin, studied Song Shi Erchen, and boasted of "remembering in his eyes and not remembering in his heart", and the good deeds among the sons of Donglin were drunk, and then asked Gu Mei Gu Hengbo Hengchen to lie on the side, wanting to test whether he had the determination of Liu Xia Hui.

So one of them smiled and said: "Hengbo, when it is said that Huangshi Zhai is standing still, or turning the phoenix upside down, there is no result in the rumors after all, it is rare for you to be here, and talk about it!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Wang Zhengzhi also laughed, but he let go of his eyebrows, picked up the wine glass, and poured it directly on the face of the laughing man.

"What are you, you dare to laugh at Hengbo in front of my Wang Zhengzhi!" After pouring it, Wang Zhengzhi still didn't rely on it, jumped up and punched and kicked, this toss, everyone was stunned, that is, Gu Mei, knowing that he was standing up for himself, he couldn't help but exclaim at this time.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng!" Everyone was awakened by Gu Mei's exclamation, and hurriedly came up to stop them.

The scholar who was beaten to a wolf was also furious at this time, he didn't dare to fight with Wang Zhengzhi, so he could only take out the literati's best stunt: "Wang Haoran, you dare to beat the scholar, you are just a county lord and guest of honor, you dare to beat me!" ”

"I'm not the county lord of honor yet!" Wang Haoran snorted: "It's a stupid thing like you who doesn't open your eyes."

However, when the other party mentioned this matter, he was not the county lord's guest of honor now, but the marriage had been set, and the county lord he had never met would be his wife. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, when the two parties get married, it will be difficult for him to leave Chengdu Mansion again.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Haoran was no longer interested, he stretched out his hand to Gu Mei: "Hengbo, let's go back to Meilou." ”

Gu frowned slightly, if this Wang Haoran was not the county lord's guest of honor, he would be a good man who would be entrusted for life.

It was spring, the spring rain was continuous, Wang Haoran walked in this boundless drizzle, and suddenly couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, this heaven and earth are big, but where is the place for good men to display their talents!

As the howling began, a group of men and horses passed by him, and one of them was almost startled by his shouting, but an old man who was a skilled rider reached out and pulled the reins.

"Good end, what kind of nerves!" Wang Haoran heard someone scolding.

He looked over there, and he didn't pay attention to who was scolding him, and what caught his eyes was a pair of sharp eyes.
