Human beings are social animals, and no one can live alone in an ivory tower without the population, and Li Gouyu is the same. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

So in order to survive, Li Gouyu has to make money.

People in the world say that everything is inferior, but without those inferior money-making jobs, how can you afford to read this high-quality book? Now Li Gou's remaining books in the house alone are worth dozens of taels of silver! Without money, where are these things going?

"Little friend, can you come to my bookstore a few more times in the near future? This "Journey to the West" is now on fire! Especially the part of the Heavenly Palace, it's not enough to sell! I, the bookstore owner, have already licked my old face and asked my peers to help me print this edition, but now it is still in short supply! A lot of book friends are here, and many of them are from Jinan Mansion and Jingshi! Old man, I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety recently, I have been running a bookstore for decades, and the business has never been so prosperous, my bookstore is now only doing this "Journey to the West" book, but it is still in short supply, little old man, I also decided to hire a few more guys to come over, these days are just for the New Year, I believe that there is no work at home, you will come to our bookstore a few more times? ”

Although the shopkeeper Qu is a fair-tempered showman, he is a businessman after all, and now he looks at Li Gou's leftovers, which is a living cash cow!

Li Gouyu pondered for a while, took the dozens of taels of silver handed over by the shopkeeper Qu, and nodded: "I will come for a while and a half in the future." ”

After pondering for a long time, Li Gouyu began to dictate the plot below, not to mention the words, anyway, it is a little nerve-wracking, this book wants to make money on fire, but now it is actually a little evasive.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were four strange books in China, "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Golden Bottle Plum" and "Journey to the West", one of which was listed as a banned book at the time, and it was not allowed to circulate in the market.

At the moment, Emperor Jiajing is in power, this guy doesn't do his job every day, and he is probably too lazy to even look at the documents, and he is busy wearing a yellow robe to make alchemy in the palace all day long! It just so happened that the paragraph in "Journey to the West" in Che Chi Guo had the meaning of alluding to this matter, so it was banned by the imperial court.

So Li Gouyu now has to figure out what to write, the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty are pervasive, in case "Journey to the West" is banned, as the initiator, I am afraid that I will be dragged to suffer a little!

"I said you write."

After thinking about it for a long time, skipping the things that might be taboo, Li Gouyu started today's "creation".

……

Mundane things are actually the most nerve-wracking, if you really want to sit there and what's going on, you don't care about things outside the window, just reading is actually not too tiring, but if you make money and read together, it will make people a little unbearable, Li Gouyu is very full of this day today, so full that he is busy working until late at night and just wants to sleep, who says that half the size does not know hard work? That's not tired of counting!

But I can't do it, I'm greedy, I still want to eat and drink, I'm lazy, I don't want to spend the effort of copying and borrowing books, I'm afraid of hardship, and I don't want to suffer from the bitterness of the inkstone freezing at every turn on that cold day, and my fingers always have to warm up in my arms from time to time.

Counting on those coppers from home? Li Gouyu just wanted to say, hehe.

Dog left has maintained the habit of practicing words every day, although it is said that five winters and six summers, but has not been wasted, this day is in the courtyard next to the well to copy the "Duobao Pagoda Tablet" given by Liu County, the door is knocking open.

I don't know many people in this Yanggu County, needless to say, it must be the little fat man.

"Brother Zhiyong, come in, what are you looking for me?"

It has been more than half an hour since he practiced calligraphy today, and Li Gouyu is no longer in love with war, so he put away the things in his hand and said.

The door was pushed open with a bang: "You haven't seen anyone, how do you know it's me?" ”

The little fat man wondered.

Li Gou smiled and didn't answer, except for you, no one else has been here at all, how do you ask me?

"Today's Lantern Festival, the streets are full of lights, and the big guys are all lively, why can't you come out?"

Lantern Festival? Li Gouyu patted his head, he should have come out on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but now it's been ten days?

Look up at the sky, it's already getting weak!

The nightlife on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is about to begin.

"Let's go, go out and have a look." After reading a book for a day, at noon just filled some food into the mouth, at this time the head was already groggy, just went to the street to see the scene, said that since he came to the Ming Dynasty, he has not seen the Lantern Festival!

The night has been pulled down, the streets of Yanggu County have begun to be lit up, it can be said that there are crowds of people, lively and extraordinary, most of the shops on the street are placed with small lights, the red lanterns are hung high, the flow of people on the street is rubbing shoulders, the liveliness is more than the temple fair of that day, the elderly, children, middle-aged people...... The people of Quanyang Valley almost went out in unison, and all of them ran to the street, which was simply a crowd of people!

"Hey, this scene, it's only once a year in our Yanggu City!" The little fat man likes to be lively, so he sighed.

What the little fat man said is true, in the Ming Dynasty, China also practiced curfew, this era is called "night curfew", the night ban regulations of the Ming Dynasty are stricter than any previous dynasty, and the requirements are more detailed.

Every day at three o'clock in the clock and drum tower, the evening drum will be beaten, until the fifth watch and three o'clock in the morning bell can be passed. Those who violate the prohibition will be punished with 30 lashes, and the punishment will be not light.

But today is different, the festival, happy with the people, the emperor and his son are happy all night in the Forbidden City, why do the people go home later?

Walking on the side of the street and strolling around, on weekdays, the street is surrounded by a fence, but now it is open to walk, open to play, and there is still a little bit of comfort.

"Quick, look, fireworks."

The little fat man pointed not far away.

The government and several large families in the county jointly funded and bought a lot of fireworks, which are now being set off.

With a loud sound, the fireworks flew straight into the sky, and the moment they exploded and dispersed in the air, it was just a moment, which made people amazed, especially those children, who were simply overjoyed.

Another firework flew into the sky, and the night sky was instantly colorful and colorful, which was really beautiful.

Firecrackers and fireworks seem to always be indispensable things in the Lantern Festival, deafening, colorful, quite a bit of New Year's flavor, even Li Gouyu, who came over in later generations, couldn't help but be attracted by this brilliant fireworks, stared at the night sky, and watched for a long time......
