Chapter 74: Encounter Dustless
During the banquet, Li Zhuohang met Ge Ting's brother-in-law Luo Xia, who was really a good literati, with clear eyes, and his speech and demeanor were very suitable for his temperament.
The two hit it off at first sight and had a good conversation.
Luo Wuchen is holding the pot and serving the pot beside him.
Li Zhuohang asked Luo Xia: "Brother Luo Xian is so talented, it's too condescending to be an accountant, if you don't dislike it, can you go to Huzhou with you?" ”
Luo Xia hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Li for your kindness." In Huizhou, one is to study for the dog, and the other is to facilitate the inconvenience of being close to his mother's family. When the dog's studies here expire, he will go to Huzhou Qingshan Academy to study, and then trouble Brother Li. ”
Li Zhuohang said: "Then let's decide." ”
Ge Ting was very happy to see them surrender. During the conversation, he learned that Li Zhuohang had brought his daughter, and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you bring your niece over?" ”
Li Zhuohang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Originally, I was supposed to bring my little girl to visit my sister-in-law, but if I came to Brother Ge, it would be difficult for others to go." I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I simply didn't ask her to come out to pay a visit. On the one hand, he said vaguely that the king was going to take a concubine for him, which meant that he didn't want to visit the Wang's house.
Luo Xia snorted coldly, "Shameless! ”
Ge Ting opened his mouth wide, and when he wanted to say something, he pressed it again, and persuaded Li Zhuohang: "Come, eat crabs." Dust-free, pour wine for Uncle Li. ”
At this point, he finally believed that Li Zhuohang would not change his mind about him, and it was Li Zhuoyuan who privately opened up and attached Wang Zhao.
After the meal, Li Zhuohang saw that it was getting late, so he took his leave.
Sending him away, Ge Ting asked his brother-in-law, "How?" ”
Luo Xia smiled and nodded: "It's rare." ”
Ge Ting smiled: "I'll just say that you will talk." You're all the same kind of people. In the future, you can do things with him, and you don't have to worry about getting angry. ”
Luo Xia said: "Thank you for your introduction." ”
Ge Ting said: "Family, what's polite." ”
Early the next morning, Luoxia went to Taiping Firm.
Luo Wuchen saw that his father had an errand and was in a good mood, so he went to the Huiji study to kill time and find some new books.
I was flipping through a copy of "Huizhou Local Chronicles", and two people came in at the door, an elderly mother and a seven or eight-year-old green-clothed mustache.
The little girl's skin was white and greasy, and when she came in, she went straight to the bookcase, and looked up at the rows of books on the shelves, because she was short, and her neck was tilted back sharply.
Luo Wuchen was a little surprised, what did the mother-in-law and the maid do when they came into the study?
The little maid seemed to notice his attention, looked at him, swept him up and down, and finally fell on the "Huizhou Local Chronicles" in his hand, and hurriedly turned her head and said: "Shopkeeper, bring me two copies of this "Huizhou Local Chronicles". ”
The shopkeeper came to look at it and said apologetically: "Girl, this book is gone, and the last one is left, which was bought by this little brother." ”
He pointed to the dustless.
The little maid looked at Luo Wuchen again.
Luo Wuchen's hands tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to hide the book behind him, but he felt that this was too childish, so he didn't move. But he pretended not to know that it was him, and only looked at the books on the shelf, but paid attention to the little girl out of the corner of his eye. I thought to myself: If she asks me to give up the book, how can I refuse?
The little maid didn't ask him to transfer it, and asked the shopkeeper: "When will you enter again?" ”
The shopkeeper replied: "Half a month." ”
The little maid said, "Then you write it down for me." When the goods are purchased, pick two copies, and then there are "General Examination of Ancient and Modern Characters", "Biography of Huizhou Characters", "Strange People and Strange Things in Huangshan", ...... Send it to the Taiping firm at the end of Fish Scale Street, Mr. Li. ”
The shopkeeper agreed and quickly wrote it down.
Luo Wuchen couldn't hide it anymore, and turned her head to look at the little maid in shock - just now she reported the titles of no less than ten books in one breath, without stopping, covering the local customs and customs of Huizhou, geographical logs, humanities chronicles, agricultural and industrial economy and other aspects, very familiar, this is the vision that a maid should have?
Then, he heard "Taiping Merchant Master Li".
He suddenly said: It turned out to be Mr. Li's family, no wonder, yesterday he felt that Li Zhuohang was not good, and he actually had the elegant family style of Zheng Xuan's poetry.
He immediately handed over the book in his hand and said, "Let the girl buy this book first." ”
The little maid looked at him suspiciously and said, "Didn't you just reluctant?" ”
Dustless: "......"
The little girl is very perceptive to people's hearts.
After a pause, he explained: "I heard the girl mention the Taiping business just now, and my father is working in the Taiping business, so I gave in. ”
The little maid hurriedly asked, "Who is your father?" ”
Luo Wuchen said: "Luoxia." ”
This little maid is Li Hanyao, dressed as a maidservant, went out shopping and bought books with Wang's mother, and almost laughed out loud when she heard Luo Wuchen say that his father's name was "Luoxia". Suddenly remembered something, hurriedly held back again, and said: "Taken from 'Luoxia and Lonely Bird Fly Together', good name!" But I haven't heard of such a person. ”
Everywhere she followed her father, she had to memorize the property and its stewards, shopkeepers, and associates. Li Zhuohang went back late yesterday, and only said that he had hired Ge Ting's brother-in-law, but he didn't say his name, so she didn't know.
When Mother Wang heard her say that she was revealing again, she hurriedly scolded: "How can you know about the outside world?" ”
Li Hanyao was a little embarrassed.
Luo Wuchen hurriedly said: "My father only went to work today, and it is reasonable for the girl not to know." ”
Li Hanyao remembered his father's words at this time, and suddenly said, "It turned out to be him." I'll take it. Thank you, Master Luo. ”
After that, he took the book and handed it to Wang's mother.
Luo Wuchen said: "You're welcome." ”
Then, Li Hanyao continued to pick out the book.
Luo Wuchen saw that her delicate neck was about to break, and felt uncomfortable on her behalf, so he took the initiative to ask her what book she was looking for, and he helped her find it.
Li Hanyao was also polite and told him.
The two stood side by side in front of the bookcase, one tall and one short, one gray and one green. The taller boy leaned slightly sideways and gently asked the little girl next to him what book she was looking for. The little girl told him that his eyes wandered over the shelves.
No matter what book Li Hanyao wants to find, as long as she says the title or category, Luo Wuchen can quickly find it for her; If not, he would suggest that she buy other books of the same kind, or let her go to the Sheyan Study, a shop that specializes in the four treasures of the study and books, and is very popular with literati students.
Li Hanyao saw that he was very familiar with the human geography of Huizhou, and that he treasured all the talented people, talents, and celebrities who were born in Huizhou, including their life exploits and poetry and songs, so he asked him for advice: where to buy the revised version of "Dajing Fengyunlu", as well as books such as "The Female Appearance of Dajing" and "The Cabinet of the Female Ministers of Dajing".
"Dajing Fengyunlu" is a record of the historical events of the Dajing Dynasty and the outstanding people of the past dynasties, which will be revised every few years to add outstanding contemporary personnel, this time, Wang Heng and Liang Xinming and others have been added.
Books such as "The Female Appearance of Dajing" describe the life deeds and emotional biography of Liang Xinming, the female prime minister and the female cabinet minister, and the history of returning to the wilderness.
Dustless Road, the newly revised "Dajing Fengyunlu" can be bought in Sheyan Study, as for "Dajing Female Appearance" and other books......
He glanced at the study, saw someone next to him, motioned for Li Hanyao to walk aside with him, and then told her in a low voice: "What is not sold in this bookstore, it is all copied in private, and the author is unknown." I have a copy at home, and if the girl wants it, she can give it to her when I go back, and then return it to me after copying it. ”
Li Hanyao nodded in surprise.
Then he asked, "Why don't bookstores sell them?" ”
Luo Wuchen said: "The legend of Liang Da's life involves many people, and most of them are still alive, so we must avoid them." ”
Li Hanyao suddenly realized.
This piqued her interest even more.
