Chapter 188: The Vessel of Hu Lian

Although Xu Jie has already stood at the pinnacle of human spirits, in his opinion, once a certain imperial history has made a stand, he can no longer go back on his word. Otherwise, not only will it not be believed, but it will also give it authority. After listening to Xu Yuanzuo's explanation, he realized that Xu Yuanzuo's "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" was not the role of the imperial history, but the role of the general secretary!

In this way, he has changed from an athlete to a referee, and he is already invincible.

"I wrote to Wang Shizhen, and he will definitely agree." Xu Jiedao.

"Thank you, Father!" Xu Yuanzuo thanked him.

Xu Jie waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

The Xu family's bookstore has been in existence for ten years, raising the same number of people, but it has never thought of publishing a newspaper. As a result, after Xu Yuanzuo took it, there was a lot of movement within a few days.

Sometimes, scholars need momentum, just like artists. Why was Wang Anshi able to worship the phase change method back then? Isn't it just ten years of hope?

If the Xu family wants to continue to stand in the ranks of the first-rate families in Songjiang Mansion, momentum is indispensable.

Xu Jie himself is a master of mastering public opinion, how can he not see the usefulness of "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" now? Not to mention that it didn't cost much, even if you put three or five thousand taels of silver into it every year, it would be worth it.

This is a shortcut to buying things!

Wang Shizhen was quite surprised to receive Xu Jie's letter, but Xu Jie's statement was very clear, you traveled to the forest, arrived in Zhejiang, and thought of the old participation in politics here, so she naturally had to write a letter to contact her.

Of course, Wang Shizhen had to reply with a letter, saying that he could not leave the official station, otherwise he would go to Shaoxing to visit the elder of the pavilion. The rhetoric is polite though. But sincerity is very limited.

Xu Jie revised another book to encourage Wang Shizhen to shoulder the burden and not to abolish the public for personal reasons. At the same time, he said that he was studying the Yuedi scattered opera. Quite interesting. He also talked about the topic of today's music art is not good, and the elegance is declining.

Wang Shizhen is interested in this aspect, seeing the letter written by Xu Jie, naturally he can't go back to the past in just two sentences, and follows Xu Jie's words to say a lot of his own opinions on vocal music and opera, and also predicts that vocal drama will definitely be popular in the near future.

Xu Jie naturally agreed, and the topic naturally ended here.

A correspondence between the two. From Shaoxing to Hangzhou, and then from Hangzhou back to Shaoxing, more than 120 miles. I walked three or four times back and forth. When the people of the Zhang family heard that Master Xu was writing a letter, some people prepared headaches, brain fevers and diarrhea in advance.

"Take it and use it." Xu Jie gave Xu Yuanzuo the sorted out Wang Shizhen letters.

Xu Yuanzuo was still a little unsure: "If it is directly posted in the newspaper, is it a little abrupt?" Will it displease Mr. Feng Chau? ”

In any case, 400 years later, it would be a bad practice to publish private correspondence without the consent of the person concerned.

Xu Jie shook his head slightly: "It's okay." A gentleman has nothing to say to others. What's more, it's just a discussion of vocal music. It will also be included in my collection in the future. What does it matter if you sorted it out and printed it, and you didn't accuse him, and it didn't matter if it was selfish? ”

――As long as it's not slanderous, can you print it casually if it's not related to personal gain? After all, it's someone's personal letter.

Xu Yuanzuo complained silently in his heart, and took the letter paper given by the old gentleman: I am afraid that this old man did not make much effort, and he also got Wang Shizhen's pen and ink article, and also saved the pen. Avoided the debt of favors and contacted the old feelings. Kill one stone, one nest of birds! Really...... What a scheme!

Unconsciously, Xu Yuanzuo's admiration for Xu Jie's was even higher.

After Xu Jie gave the letter to Xu Yuanzuo, he said: "You are also a member of the school now, and you must be decent when you go out in the future." I'll give you a name, so that it will be easier for others to call me. ”

Xu Yuanzuo also always felt inconvenient. In the old environment, everyone used to call them by their first names, so they didn't think there was any problem. Nowadays, everyone is called by name, only I am called by my name, and it is very low-end when I hear it. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Father!" ”

Xu Jie picked up the teacup and thought about it, and said, "Jinglian, okay?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew it as soon as he heard it, and said: "Lian, the ritual vessel of the temple is also." My name is Yuan Zuo, so naturally I want to pay homage to the temple and be a good minister. ”

Xu Jie smiled and spit out three words: "Gongye Chang." ”

The Analects? Gongye Chang":

Zigong asked, "What is the gift?" Zi said: "The female weapon is also." He said, "What is it?" He said, "Hu Lian also." ”

This is to say that Zigong asked Confucius for an evaluation. Confucius said, "You are indeed a thing." Zigong asked: What is it? Confucius said, "It's Hu Lian! ”

Hu Lian is a ceremonial vessel that holds millet in the temple, and Confucius also gave a very good evaluation, thinking that Zigong is a promising gentleman who can assist the monarch and marquis to stabilize the country and worship the ancestors.

Xu Jie pointed out the chapter of "Gongye Chang", and the implication was that Xu Yuanzuo wanted to follow Zigong, and the depth of expectations was self-evident.

Xu Yuanzuo was a little embarrassed and thanked: "My grandson is only willing to do his best and live up to my father's expectations." ”

Xu Jie bowed slightly, and the more he thought about the word "Jinglian", the more satisfied he became.

For those who don't know, they think that the second word "Hu Lian" is because of the ranking. For those in the know, taking the word "Lian" also means "I cong Zhou" - Hu Lian is the same thing and different names, Xia people are called Hu, Zhou people are called Lian, and Lian is used instead of Hu, which is naturally from Zhouli.

Xu Yuanzuo himself silently read "Xu Jinglian" twice, which is plain, catchy, elegant but not cold, common but not vulgar, it is really a good word with low-key practicality and connotation. He immediately laid out the paper and ink, told his mother about the fact that he had been given the word by Xu Jie, and asked his mother to spread it to his relatives "to a limited extent".

If they meet next time, people still call him by name instead of Yizi, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good expression?

This is the word given by the head of the Yuan!

Two days after the letter was delivered, Shen Yujun came to the door.

"I heard you've got another test?" Shen Yujun's face was a little strange.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Luck." ”

"I think so." Shen Yujun said angrily: "When will you get up?" ”

"Don't worry." Xu Yuanzuo is still cultivating a relationship with Zhang Rulin.

"Why not rush!" Shen Yujun was really anxious: "You have a high bed and soft quilt here, and you have delicacies from all over the world, it is simply a fairy-like day." I'm living a hard life on a boat! ”

Xu Yuanzuo remembered this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry, it's me who didn't think it through, I'll go and inquire." ”

He knew that it was impossible for Xu Jie to live in the Shanyin Zhang clan for too long, so he didn't plan to take the initiative to ask, but Shen Yujun obviously couldn't wait.

"Father, are we waiting for someone to stay in Shaoxing?" Xu Yuanzuo went to find Xu Jie.

Xu Jie held the book in one hand and stroked his beard with the other: "One is my guest, and the other is your guest." ”

Xu Yuanzuo's curiosity was immediately aroused. (To be continued......)
