On this day, Shi Xun went out at the same time as his wife Cao Miao, one went to Sikong Mansion to pay homage to Cao Cao, and the other went to Xu Tan's Mansion to pretend to learn to cook.
Cao Miao entered the Xu Mansion from the side door, and Gan hurriedly went out to greet her—the housewives often came and went, and there was no need to go out of their way to say hello to the male host—and led her to the kitchen. After arranging for the cook and maid to learn to cook, Cao Miao and the Gan family spread out a mat in the courtyard, sat opposite each other and ate some melon seeds and chatted about some gossip.
Since it was the chef and maid of the family who came to learn the dishes, rather than the lady herself, Mrs. Xu did not need to do it herself, and basically assigned the maids who could make stir-fry to teach the skills.
As soon as this woman was idle, she was very gossipy. Cao Miao obeyed her husband's instructions, and no longer inquired about the Xu family's family affairs, and Gan's did not take the initiative to complain on this day, but just talked about the customs of Xuzhou's hometown, as well as several familiar ladies and young ladies. chatting and chatting, a large plate of melon seeds was swallowed by them, but the strange thing is that even the water has not been delivered.
Gan's heart was unhappy, so he got up and went into the kitchen to ask, and a maidservant hurriedly replied: "The distinguished guests are coming, and the old water in the tank is not to be entertained, and the lady has only instructed to go to the well in the front yard to get new water to boil, but the Feng family has been gone for a long time, but he has not returned with water, and he does not know why." ”
Gan Shi said Then why are you still stunned here, hurry up and take a look, urge it. The servant girl took the order, and the time was not long, and her cheeks were red, and she returned empty-handed. Gan asked why, and she stammered: "Yes, it is the master who is pulling Feng by the well platform, doing, doing...... That ......"
When Gan heard this, he couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed, and said hatefully: "How can you be in broad daylight and not in the house...... Besides, the Feng family had a husband...... But who else has seen it? ”
The maid hung her head and whispered, "Feng and Feng Zhong are next to them, tied to a tree by their masters......"
Gan's Dayu: "It's a trip of beasts!" "Get up and go to the front yard.
Cao Miao heard that Xu Tan was so unbearable, and he was also three points ashamed and seven points indignant. But after all, this is a matter of other people's families, and it is inconvenient for him to intervene, so it will only increase the embarrassment if he continues to stay, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Gan's family. If she had gone now, it would have been fine, but she bypassed the screen and took the maidservant and the cook to the side door. Suddenly, I heard a miserable cry from Gan not far away.
Cao Miao was shocked when she heard the sound, and she was anxious for a while, so she hurriedly followed the sound and shouted from afar: "Mrs. Xu!" The scene that unfolded in front of her couldn't help but make her chest filled with resentment and clenched her teeth.
I saw a half-naked woman lying on the well platform. There was a man next to him, covered in blood, tied to the trunk of a tree, with his eyes closed and his face full of tears—this must be the Feng couple. I saw Xu Tan shirtless, holding his pants in one hand. Holding the horsewhip in one hand, Gan, who was prostrating himself in front of him, was beating him fiercely, and shouted in his mouth: "They are a certain domestic slave, and their lives are all for the same, so what about borrowing their wives?" Why do you come to many things? But don't you fight enough on weekdays?! ”
Cao Miao shouted: "Stop!" Jumping up, he grabbed Xu Tan's wrist and covered Gan's behind him. Xu Tan seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and his mouth was full of alcohol, and he saw Cao Miao coming to stop him. couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then reacted, became even more angry, and scolded his wife: "It's the lady who is here, why don't you tell me?" What a beating! ”
As he spoke, he forcibly pulled out his wrist from Cao Miao's hand - although Cao Miao also had some strength, how could he compare to Xu Tan, the general of Xuzhou, - bypassed two steps, and went to smoke Gan's again.
Gan was so frightened that he hid behind Cao Miao. Cao Miao opened her arms. Covering in front of her, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, and admonished: "She is the general's wife, not a slave." How can you whip up? Please also ask the general to stop. ”
Xu Tan staggered and made a gesture towards Cao Miao - however, he was originally holding the pants in his left hand, and he forgot about it for a while, and as a result, the poor pants with deerskin crotch guards "smacked" and faded directly to the ankles, revealing two iron pillar-like hairy legs, and ...... Cao Miao let out an "ahhhhhh Xu Tan hurriedly put the horsewhip in his mouth, stretched out his hands to lift his pants, fastened the trouser belt, and apologized: "Xu was negligent, it was Mrs. ......" He forgot that he still had a whip in his mouth, and with this mouth, the horsewhip fell to the ground.
Cao Miaoxin said that this person was so drunk that there was no reason to talk about it with a drunk, so he turned around and helped Gan, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and was so frightened that his face turned pale. Xu Tan still refused to give up, picked up the whip, and came to pull each other, Cao Miao was furious, turned around and punched, hit Xu Tan in front of the door, hit him staggered, and took the opportunity to help Gan Shi back to the bedroom. Gan was just crying, Cao Miao leaned over to check and asked her, "Is it broken?" You can call someone to take medicine to rub it. As a result, she didn't pick up Gan's clothes, but when she picked it up, she saw more than a dozen lashes on her snow-white skin, all of which were whiplashes, and only two of them were new sores, and the rest were old marks.
Cao Miao was shocked: "It's difficult, does he often beat you?" Gan turned around, hugged her, and cried: "It's Madam, I envy you so much, you have to marry a good man, not like me." He covets his servants, and the wives of his subordinates, after all, I am the main room, and when I get drunk, he will beat me, and today he will do this beast again......"
Cao Miao said angrily: "Since you have been abused by him, why don't you divorce?" "The marriage of the Han Dynasty was different from that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, not only the husband could divorce his wife, but the wife or the woman's maiden family could also take the initiative to file for divorce, although in terms of number, the rate was much lower, but after all, it was not impossible. However, Gan said that she had written to the pottery merchant or Tao Ying many times, asking the two cousins to allow her to divorce Xu Tan, but they were all refused, and her parents died, if she divorced, there would really be no place to stay!
Cao Miao came back and told Shi Xun about today's outrageous experience, and it was Xun Xin who said that Gan had nowhere to go after the divorce, so he could come to me...... Of course, he is just delusional in his heart, the Tao family or the Gan family have no kinship with the family, so it makes sense to leave her husband and go to live in someone else's house?
Cao Miao said that she persuaded Gan for a long time before finally returning home full of resentment. Shi Xun comforted her and said: "People are virtuous and foolish, neither relatives nor close neighbors, and they have no plan to help, why should Mrs. be angry? Hugh hurt his own body. Cao Miao glanced at him: "The husband has always been wise, is it possible to get rid of Mrs. Xu in the sea of suffering?" Shi Xun spread his hands: "How can I break other people's family affairs?" But he said in his heart: "I must find an opportunity to kill this shameless Xu Tan and save Gan's escape!" ”
It happened that Cao Cao asked about this today, and then this happened again, and Shi Xun said to Cao Miao, you don't go to Xu's Mansion in the future, and I will no longer have anything to do with Xu Tan. We can't see or be out of mind. Cao Miao shook her head and said, "Mrs. Xu has no friends in the capital, but I am familiar with her, how can I not comfort her and save her?" "Yes Xun said that every time she is beaten, it is so coincidental, you can help stop Xu Tan on the side? Besides, how can you comfort her if you are clumsy? Cao Miao said: "My husband is so talkative, you can teach me how to comfort." Shi Xun smiled bitterly: "A woman's heart." I don't understand, how to teach you ......"
After that, it was Xun and his wife who never entered the door of the Xu family again, and Xu Tan sent someone to hand over a wooden slip for a banquet, but was rejected by Xun, and later came to visit. Yeshoon pretended not to be at home. probably knew that he was evil because of his wife Cao Miao, so after Xu Tan touched the wall twice, he no longer took the initiative to ask to see him.
In addition to the craftsmen Xu Xiangxiang, two other small workers were hired to not only squeeze soybean oil, but also to explore ways to extract oil from other plants. For example, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and even some flax oil to light the lamp. It's a pity that there are no peanuts in these years, and he doesn't know what kind of rapeseed oil is squeezed out.
The paper workshop plan had to be put on hold for the time being, and Shi Xun planned to wait for the autumn harvest of this year to sweep the family and see if he could build a small family first. As a servant, his main job was to prepare the emperor's advisors. But now the emperor has no authority, and there is nothing to ask him, just to give lectures and poems to Liu Xie every once in a while.
The work of the Stone Classic has been on the right track, and the first "Book of Changes" has been completed, and it has also been submitted to Liu Xie's imperial review and approval. Catching up with Zhong Xuan's busy work, Shi Xun handed it over to Wei Dan to copy. Zhong Xuan was not very relieved at first, but when he saw Wei Dan's calligraphy, he couldn't help but be shocked. First said: "The saber is tense, this person has a lot of hills and ravines in his chest!" Then he asked, "Is it a disciple of Uncle Zi?" "Yes Xun really didn't know, I found Wei Danyi to inquire, and sure enough, he had indeed learned words from Handan Chun.
At the same time as Xi Xi and other school scriptures and Wei Dan copied the scriptures, Sima Yi began to look for craftsmen everywhere, quarrying and grinding stones, and making all kinds of preparations. There were several stonemasons in the Xunzhuang courtyard, and they originally planned to carve stone tablets to study stone seals, but now the papermaking has not yet landed - the original hemp paper is not soft enough, and the water absorption is too strong, and I tried rubbing several times, but it was unsuccessful - printing had to be put in the back row, and these stonemasons were not of much use, so he hoarded them all to Sima Yi.
At the end of March, the first batch of scripture tablets were erected in Taixue, a total of seven pieces, which immediately caused a sensation inside and outside Xudu, and the scholars who came to copy the scriptures with bamboo slips and wooden slips almost had to step through the threshold, and the first ones refused to go, and those who came late had to enter, often causing disputes. So Shi Xun set a rule, the queue is limited to fifty numbers a day, and those who get the number are only allowed to stay for one day, and then come and see, please be early tomorrow. In fact, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to sell tickets, but after thinking about it again, he would inevitably be scolded for copper stink and insulting Sven when he collected money to read the Bible in this year. Besides, we have to think about those poor students and poor people, it is Xun's main purpose in education, that is, to expand the intellectual class, to prevent the family from monopolizing learning, and to study papermaking and printing, all of which are aimed at this goal. Besides, the money didn't go into his own pocket......
The stele of the Book of Changes has just been erected here, and Xi Xi has finished proofreading the second Five Classics - the Book of Changes. All the people rejoiced, saying that with this progress, it might not take more than three years to carve all the thirteen scriptures and transmissions into stone. Because the base book was the "Five Classics and Chapters" compiled by Song Zhong and them, but Xun had already received the "Book of Shang" as a gift from Liu Biaoxiang, so he finally approved it quickly, and sent it to the inner court for review, and at the same time copied a copy to dedicate it to Cao Cao.
Although Cao Cao was not so interested in the scriptures, he also knew that this thing was precious and rare, and after thanking Shixun, he handed it to Cao Ang: "Brother Ru, study it carefully." As he was talking, he suddenly came to the door and reported: "Your Excellency! ”
"Ahh Cao Cao screamed, and couldn't help but cry and came down.
