The three-room sub-branch of the Ye family's house only has two entrances before and after, and originally left a four-entry homestead, but because of the strength of the long branch, it was also "charged" by the long branch a few years ago. However, now with the decline of the long branch, the Liu family has also been defeated, so this homestead has returned to the three-room branch.

Ye Chang stood at the door and glanced at the other side of the alley directly opposite the door.

It was the house of the three branches, but now it was deserted - after He Zhizhang's visit, Ye Si and the Lu family had personally experienced Ye Chang's relationship network, and they no longer dared to make noise, and they got twenty ingots of gold and silver, which was also a benefit for them, so they were planning to return to Bianzhou to regroup. The family closed their doors and rarely came out, and the gossip about the Fang clan in the village also stopped.

Ye Chang can also come to the door of the second branch openly.

knocked on the door, it was Xiang'er who opened the door, and when he saw Ye Chang, his eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons.

"Lang Jun is early, Lang Jun is here, Lang Jun is busy these days, Lang Jun is not going to see Fang Niangzi, Lang Jun ......"

The sweet and greasy word "Langjun" spit out from her small mouth, and Ye Chang couldn't help but hold her hand when she heard it.

"Alas, I have been tripped up by those uninvited guests for a long time, and I sent them away today, so I have to come to see my sister-in-law, and also take a look at Xiang'er, Xiang'er is okay here these days?"

"Lang Jun is stupid to ask, when Lang Jun went to Chang'an, nearly three months before and after, Xiang'er and Chunming were both on Fang Niangzi's side, so they naturally lived well." Shuang'er said with a sweet smile.

Ye Chang smiled, knowing that he had asked a stupid question, would such a smart person of the Fang clan still treat Xiang'er badly?

He Zhizhang lived in Wolong Valley for ten days, and he swam in the mountains with Ye Chang during the day every day. However, at this time, when the literati and Confucian scholars went out, how could they not bring servants, He Zhizhang took several domestic servants, and wherever it was difficult, these domestic servants carried him over with their shoulders and hands.

Ten days later, Ye Chang's five jars of wine were empty, and he couldn't keep He Zhizhang anymore, so he said goodbye and left, without any nostalgia.

Both of them knew in their hearts that at He Zhizhang's age, it was unlikely that they would go north again, so this farewell could be a farewell.

Du Fu also left, unlike He Zhizhang, Du Fu was more interested in all kinds of machinery and buildings in Wolong Valley, whether it was water drains or rainbow canals, he watched them with relish.

The lively Wolong Valley was deserted because of this.

"I heard that Lang Jun has been cooking every day these days, cooking for those distinguished guests, but the slaves have not eaten, Lang Jun is really to outsiders!" Xiang'er complained a little, and then said happily: "Yesterday I went to beat chestnuts with Chunming and them, we picked a lot of big chestnuts, and Chunming ate a lot!" ”

In the little girl's babbling words, Ye Chang had already crossed the front yard and arrived at the back yard. He coughed and said loudly, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." ”

"Come in."

Fang's slightly lazy voice came into his ears, and Ye Chang whispered to Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, you stay here, don't let people eavesdrop." ”

Xiang'er nodded, she had absolute trust in Ye Chang, knowing that Ye Chang and the Fang clan must have something important to say, she took a piece of female red and sat at the door of the small courtyard with a needle.

She has now begun to learn to be a female celebrity with the Fang family, but according to Ye Chang's understanding, the Fang family's own female celebrity level is quite average, and she only started to learn after marrying Ye Shu.

"Sister-in-law." When he entered the door, he saw Fang Shi holding Xiao Hao, lazily leaning against the wall, and the slave got up and saluted him: "Uncle." ”

The little slave was also sent out to play, Ye Chang gave his hand and gave a big salute to the Fang family: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

"Thank me for what?"

"If it weren't for my sister-in-law's power that day, I'm afraid that I would be very ugly. If you make a fool of yourself in front of He Gong and others, your reputation will be damaged. My sister-in-law is all famous, and I can't thank you for this kindness. ”

"It's not just for you, it's also for my own reputation, they do some shady things behind their backs, they want to separate you and me, do you think I don't know at all?" Fang sneered: "If I don't do something, won't it make people feel bullied, then my orphans and widows will not be able to live in the village." ”

"Sister-in-law has already planned this, why don't you tell me first?" Ye Chang scratched his head, the situation that day was really thrilling, he thought about it, but he didn't expect the ambiguous identity of the Lu family to come up.

A faint flush appeared on Fang's fair face, and he was slightly conceited: "You are only allowed to hide this from me and that, but you are not allowed to calculate you once?" ”

"Where did I hide it from my sister-in-law?"

"Really?"

Moreover, Fang's slightly narrowed eyes, Ye Chang could only raise his hand and surrender: "That's it, if there is anything in the future, I will not hide it from my sister-in-law." ”

Fang smiled proudly, she was of noble birth, but because of the shock, she had to leave the high-level political circle of Datang, and found a balance in Ye Chang, which made her feel very happy.

This uncle is famous, but he still has the upper hand by himself.

"Xiang'er and Chunming's affairs have also been resolved, what puzzles me is, why do you still give them twenty rings of gold and silver?" Fang Shi asked again: "According to what they do, it is not like Changzhi, and there should be no benefit to them!" ”

"After all, it is four years of father and son, and I am raised in three branches for four years after all."

Ye Chang's answer was not Fang Shi's surprise, but it still made her beautiful eyes condense slightly, and her eyes flashed with a strange look.

"Eleven Lang, you are really kind-hearted."

"Huh."

"But it's not necessarily good to be too kind...... That's it, it's your business. ”

Having said that, the Fang clan was still extremely happy in his heart, Ye Chang and Ye Shu were generally kind-hearted people, but Ye Chang was smarter and more responsible than Ye Shu.

If he wasn't kind-hearted, how could he think of brotherhood, travel thousands of miles to transport Ye Shu's coffin back, and also took the risk to kill Yang Fu and avenge part of Ye Shu's revenge.

"Now that the matter is over, just wait for the patriarch to open the ancestral hall to tell the ancestors, and then the matter can be ended. Eleven Lang, since then, the sea and the sky have been wide, and the journey has been thousands of miles. Fang said again.

"Sister-in-law Ji Yan, but now there is a troublesome thing that makes people don't know how to deal with it."

Ye Chang was planning the future alone, because it had been going well, and he also looked down on the wisdom of the ancients at this time. But first he was repeatedly taken advantage of by Han Chaozong, and then he was politely rejected by He Zhizhang, so he knew that the reason why these outstanding figures in ancient times left a strong mark in history was by no means a waste of fame. And Fang's cloudy performance that day also made him feel that he could rely more on his sister-in-law's wisdom.

"Tell me about it."

Ye Chang said that he wanted to use He Zhizhang's prestige influence to print, but He Zhizhang refused.

"Eleven Lang, why are you stupid, fortunately there is He Gong, otherwise you wouldn't know what kind of catastrophe you would have caused!"

Hearing this, Fang's face suddenly tensed, and he couldn't help but teach Ye Changdao a lesson.

"Uh...... Is it so serious? ”

"The punctuation you use in that paragraph is very important, and even determines the righteousness of the Confucian classics, what is your identity now, can you do this kind of thing? At the beginning, Kong Yingda fought against the Confucianism in the former Sui Dynasty, argued with the poor hanging river, studied the rites of the ancestors, and became famous, but the result was that the Confucianism invited the assassins to assassinate him! If it weren't for Yang Xuangan's protection, he would have died a long time ago without a place to be buried! ”

Ye Chang knew a little about this allusion, but he didn't know it as clearly as the Fang family. Listening to Fang's casual words, he couldn't help but smack his tongue: The theoretical dispute between the literati, whoever said that it was just a verbal argument, would almost be bloody.

"Your punctuation technique is clearly to control the interpretation of the Confucian and Taoist classics, He Gong Zhiyuan, you can see it at first sight. This kind of thing, violating the taboo of the imperial court, and attracting the jealousy of Confucianism, I really don't know why you have always been smart, why would you do such a self-defeating thing! Fang Shi complained again: "He Gong is wrong, you have become a Confucian sect in the world, and you don't want to control the interpretation of Confucianism and Taoism classics, this is a unique thing......

"Sister-in-law!"

Ye Chang's face was red, and he couldn't help but scream, and Fang realized that he was almost teaching Ye Chang a lesson.

She covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Eleven Lang is not strange. ”

"I know I'm wrong, and now the question is, I have to promote it...... Sister-in-law, do you have a clever plan to teach me? ”

Fang Shi exclaimed, "You still want to carry out this technique?" ”

Ye Chang nodded, Fang saw the persistence in his gaze, and hesitated in his heart.

She knows Ye Chang very well, although she has a "gentle" temperament, but her temper is a little stubborn, and she can't pull back the nine cows if she recognizes the right things. Since he has made up his mind, even if he doesn't help him with advice, he still has to think about it.

"That's hard...... I don't know what to do. Fang Shi muttered: "Eleven Lang, I can only give you a counselor, do you want to use horizontal and punctuation to print Confucian and Taoist classics?" ”

"I had this idea, but now I don't dare, although I want to promote my way, I don't want to be assassinated."

"What about the Shakti scriptures?"

"Confucianism and Taoism can't be provoked, and the same is true of the Shi family, if I come to print the Shi family scriptures, I'm afraid that even the good and straight will come out and make trouble with me."

Speaking of this, Ye Chang hung his head, these ancients were all living people, they all had their own ideas and interests, and it was impossible for them to act completely according to their own will.

"He Gong does not allow you to print his poems in this way, so if you want to come to other literati, as long as you are a little sensible, they will not allow you, if you go to print, you will be attacked. If the poem can't be printed, the text can't be printed, which is really difficult. ”

Fang got up and thought about it, and unconsciously handed the little lady into Ye Chang's hands. The little lady and Ye Chang were also affectionate, crawling around on Ye Chang's body, and trying to tear Ye Chang's face with her own hands. Ye Chang was also good-tempered, so he let her ravage, Fang Shi turned his face and saw this scene, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"If you can't print any of these things, why don't you print the rest first?" She smiled: "I thought of the legend that you talked about with Cinu and Xiang'er! ”

One of the main reasons why the slaves, Xiang'er, including Chunming and the six newcomers like Ye Chang is that Ye Chang has a belly of stories to tell them. There are not only local products from the Tang Dynasty, but also imported products from "One Thousand and One Nights", Aesop, Andersen and so on.

"Exactly, Legend!"

Ye Chang also slapped his legs, and during the Tang Dynasty, on the basis of the small stories of the Jin people, the genre of legend emerged, that is, short stories. At this time, it was only in its embryonic form, and it was the most prosperous when the Niu Li party struggled.

The legend of this style also has a strength, that is, it is convenient for the excellent people to sing in the restaurant market, among these excellent people, there are also quite a lot of literate people, sentence punctuation, there is also a reason: although these excellent singers are literate, but the knowledge is limited, I am afraid that I do not understand the true meaning of the article, so it is punctuated!

And in addition to short stories, he can also write long stories, anyway, he has stories, if he has enough leisure, he can even copy "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions" in a different way, but "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should be very popular at this time full of romantic feelings, but "Dream of Red Mansions" may not.

"But no one can do that." Immediately, Ye Chang had a headache again.

It's okay to let him tell stories, but it's quite difficult for him to write colloquial stories into literary legends. It's not that it can't be written, but one is inferior in style, but it loses the original charm of the story, and the second is that it takes too much time and energy.

"If Eleven Lang can be trusted, I can catch a pen for you."

"Sister-in-law?"

"In the past, Shangguan Zhaorong was famous for a while, although the slave was not as good as her, but it was barely considerable."

Speaking of this, Fang Shi showed a look of eagerness, and Ye Chang was overjoyed to hear it: "So good!" ”

The two discussed for a while, and finally decided on the title of the book "New World Sayings", acting in the name of "The World Says New Words", the first volume is a total of 20 stories, as for which 20 stories, Ye Chang said and Fang listened to them, and Fang then selected and compiled them.

Both of them are vigorous and resolute, and Ye Chang began to wonder what the first story was. After pondering for a while, he suddenly thought of his assassination at night in Chang'an City—although there was no clear murderer in that assassination, according to the clues on the arrows, he suspected that the Hu people who followed him were responsible. After the assassination, the Hu people never appeared again, and their suspicion was particularly huge.

Thinking of the Anshi Rebellion, the turning point of the Tang Dynasty's transformation from prosperity to decline, Ye Chang suddenly had a story.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Jianzi hunted in Zhongshan ......"

Fang's original pursed her lips and smiled, but after the story of "Zhongshan Wolf" was finished, her smile had already been exhausted, and her eyes were blazing, looking at Ye Chang.

"What's the matter, sister-in-law, this legend is not suitable?"

"No, it's suitable, it's just ...... Eleven Lang, are you a wolf with An Lushan and other miscellaneous hus? ”

Her words immediately made Ye Chang stunned, and the whole person was stunned.

I hid a little bit of my mind in the story, I originally thought it was very vague, but I never thought that my sister-in-law not only saw through it at a glance, but even pointed out the name of An Lushan!

Could it be that the women of the Tang Dynasty were all so powerful and fierce?
