Chapter 43: Pu Jiaming's Gambling Contract
If Ye Heng could hear Pu Jiajing's words, then he would definitely be moved.
At the same time, I can't help but admire the ancient women's temperament is really rare, they have determined that one thing, light yƬ will not change, for example, Pu Jiajing decided that Ye Heng has her in his heart, so he feels that it is enough.
Then she would wait silently, doing so did have Pu Jiajing's infatuated side in it, but after thinking about it, from Pu Jiajing's point of view, after her family and Ye Heng had an unpleasant quarrel, she could only do this.
If you don't give up, you wait. Afraid of embarrassment for her family, she chose to remain silent.
Looking at her sister, who has been in many disasters since she was a child, Pu Jiaxin licked her lips, but she couldn't open her mouth!
ā¦ā¦
The carriage left Lin'an and did not go north directly, but turned to Hangzhou.
Although it is not too far from Lin'an to Changzhou, there are hundreds of miles to go, and if you take the land route, you will inevitably encounter trouble on the road and delay the journey, so Ye Heng plans to take the water route, and it is good to visit Chen Yaozuo in Hangzhou.
Before Chongyang, Chen Yaozuo returned to Hangzhou on official business, and Ye Heng came this time to find Chen Yaozuo to resign and ask him for some things.
Although Gongjiu and the Pu family reached an agreement, Ye Heng still couldn't be completely assured, and this time Ye Heng looked for Chen Yaozuo, mainly to talk about papermaking.
There are a lot of good papers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Houzhu once made Chengxintang paper in Huizhou, Huizhou is not far from Hangzhou, and later the papermaking process has also passed some out, with Huizhou as the center, there are many papermaking workshops around.
But in Ye Heng's view, the technology of their papermaking workshops is not very perfect, and at this time, bamboo screens are mostly used for papermaking, and the process procedures are very simple, not as complicated as Ye Heng's design.
The kind of paper that Ye Heng wants to make, both in terms of color and quality of the paper, is very perfect, so a lot of work must be done in the early stage, but Ye Heng is worried that with his current ability, he is afraid that he will not be able to complete it, so he wants to pull Chen Yaozuo together.
In this way, Ye Heng does not have to worry that the paper workshop will be robbed in the future, although cooperating with Chen Yaozuo is equivalent to cooperating with the imperial court, but the idea of governing the country in the Northern Song Dynasty is not to compete with the people, so Ye Heng believes that as long as he can get Chen Yaozuo's support, it is estimated that the benefits will not be too great in the future!
When he arrived in Hangzhou, Ye Heng directly asked Pang Tietou to ask about the way to Caosi Yamen, and only after the report did he see Chen Yaozuo.
With Chen Yaozuo, there is also a teenager who looks like he is in his twenties.
"Perseverance, the old man also heard about the things of Chongyang that day, and the old man thought that the sentence 'a cloud of smoke and rain was Ren Pingsheng' was not very good, and a man should stand up to the sky, how could he be a life?"
The word is indeed a good word, but there are some slump meanings in this poem, so Chen Yaozuo thinks it's not good, how old is Ye Heng? Fourteen years old, you look like you have seen through the vicissitudes of life at the age of fourteen, so how can you do it?
"Yes, the students are taught!"
Ye Heng agreed, but said in his heart: Generation gap, generation gap, this Chen Yaozuo seems to be a stubborn guy, but how to write this word can not help me, you have the ability to talk to Su Shi!
Su Shi hasn't spoken yet!
Thinking of this, Ye Heng smiled secretly in his heart, but at this time, the young man next to him said: "What Old Chen said is good, but the last sentence of this poem is quite profound, hehe...... There is no wind and rain and no sunshine, this sunny day is naturally sunny on a sunny day, with the same sound as the love word of love, after the word came out that day, the Cui family must have understood, right? ā
Ye Heng said: "It doesn't matter if the Cui family doesn't understand, they will come as long as they should." Oh yes, who is this benevolent brother? ā
After asking, the young man laughed, and then replied: "In Xia Pu Jiaming!" ā
"It turned out to be Pu Gongzi!"
Ye Heng agreed, and then his face changed.
Pu Jiaming?
Pu Jiajing's brother!
almost startled Ye Heng, but Pu Jiaming laughed, and then said: "Very good, after you saw me, you were not indifferent, but surprised and puzzled, so it shows that you are not disdainful of my Pu family in your heart......"
In fact, Pu Jiaming meant that Ye Heng's heart still cared about Pu Jiajing, so he had such a reaction, but the ancients didn't like to say it too clearly.
After laughing, Pu Jiaming looked at Ye Heng and said, "This time it was my sister who did something wrong, and my father also sent someone to deliver a letter two days ago, saying that I wanted to stop you." However, after meeting Chen Lao, Chen Lao told me about your purpose in Changzhou this time, and I couldn't stop you, but ...... Do you dare to make a bet with me? ā
"Bet?"
Ye Heng looked at Chen Yaozuo puzzled, as if he smelled a hint of conspiracy, and Chen Yaozuo was an old god sitting there on the ground, Ye Heng looked at it, and this old guy didn't react, as if he was saying that it was none of his business!
"It's not rough, bet!"
Pu Jiaming said to Ye Heng: "Don't worry, I have no malice, and I don't need any bets." As long as you promise me that you can go to Beijing with me in December this year! ā
Ye Heng understood what Pu Jiaming meant, hoping that Ye Heng could stand out in the township test, so he made this bet with Ye Heng.
"Bet on what?"
Knowing what Pu Jiaming meant, Ye Heng was a lot more relaxed.
"Bet on the leader of this township test!"
Pu Jiaming laughed, and then said: "You also know that I am one of the four great talents in Hangzhou, but I am not the first of the four great talents, but it is not that I Pu Jiaming is arrogant, I am really a disciple of Qian Qibo, and I Pu Jiaming didn't pay attention to it at all, so ...... The leader of this year's Hangzhou Township Test must be me! Do you dare to bet? ā
"What kind of bet is this? It's not fair! Ye Heng was not happy and said: "How do I know how much talent you have, and how do I know if you can win the top spot in Hangzhou?" ā
Hearing Ye Heng's words, Chen Yaozuo and Pu Jiaming suddenly laughed at the same time.
Chen Yaozuo said to Pu Jiaming: "How is it? I'll just say this kid is shrewd, right? Pu Jialang, you can't fool him. ā
"Hmm!" Pu Jiaming nodded, then turned to Ye Heng and said: "Then let's change the gambling method, just bet on whether you can win the top spot in the Changzhou Township Test, if you win the top spot in the Changzhou Township Test, then I will lose!" Then my Pu family will return the tribute wine to you, and send someone to help you build a large wine-making workshop! ā
Is there such a good thing?
Ye Heng looked at Pu Jiaming and asked with some doubts, "Then...... What if I lose? ā
"If you lose, hehe......"
Pu Jiaming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything, as long as you come to my Pu family before going to Beijing, and go to Beijing with me to take the exam!" ā
"That's all?"
Ye Heng thought about it, this business doesn't seem to be a loss at all!
