Chapter 6: What a wonderful person
"Foolish man! Obviously, the demon also thinks it is beautiful. Fool! Ming Ming Zhong is also delusional. However, the lover is fishing, and the wife will be willing to eat people. The way of heaven is good, but the foolish and confused do not understand. Alack! Well written, well written, this is a warning to the world! ”
Jian Ning quoted Pu Songling's words in this paragraph, and I remembered this paragraph most clearly when I read the book, so I was deeply impressed.
I have to say that this passage is really well written. Although Pu Songling was a literati in the old era, his thinking was limited by the times, but every story in the book reveals his satire and rebellion against feudal dross, which is very valuable, which is why Liao Zhai can shine.
No one is born lowly, no one is born to be oppressed, fairness is the most simple and beautiful wish in everyone's heart.
So when writing about the painting skin, even Ying Ning, Jian Ning took this unfairness and this kind of bullying to the extreme, this is her tribute to Pu Songling, and she sings for fairness!
Hu Yanshu patted his leg and praised again and again, "This story is so well written!" This Chen family is really virtuous, the eldest husband walks in the world, and he can get this virtuous wife, and this life is not in vain. ”
It's a pity that men in the world are always confused by beauty, and if they have a good wife and a beautiful concubine, how can there be more than one king in this world? That's a thousand!
Jian Ning muttered in her heart, but said quietly on her face: "Brother thinks it's good, and I have more confidence in my heart, so I dare to write the next story." ”
Hu Yanshu was surprised, "Sister, do you have an idea again?" ”
Jian Ning smiled and said: "When I was a child, I liked to hear the villagers talk about anecdotes and gossip, and the things about the ghosts and foxes in the mountains and wilderness, and this painting skin came from this." The next story was born out of this, so I wanted to name the books I wrote. ”
She paused and said, "Let's call it Yamano Zhiyi." ”
Hu Yanshu's body shook, "Strange ambitions in the mountains? Do you already have a lot of ideas? ”
"Well, it's all a story I heard when I was a child, so it's a trick."
Hu Yanshu almost vomited blood. Other scholars, even if they are just talents, write a book that stinks. But you're good, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old person, writing a story is like drinking water, and you still talk about it? How do you let others live!
Pressing the surprise in his heart, he was silent for a while, and said, "If my sister can trust my brother, I will take the manuscript and read it then." Don't worry, just dare to tell your brother your little words, and your brother will not treat you badly. ”
Observing people and observing things in the details, Jian Ning can tell him his small words, which also shows that he is frank and sincere. Generally, in these years, the name of the girl's family is almost unknown except for her parents and brothers, even if it is a small character, it must be known by people with excellent relationships.
Jian Ning was able to tell him her small print in the first cooperation, and this seemingly frivolous act of others was sincere to Jian Ning.
After all, when a woman needs to show up, there should be no one at home who can use it. Just look at the brother who can only laugh on the side, she can't do it.
Hu Yanshu is a sincere gentleman, but he is not a fool, he is very familiar with human feelings, and his eyesight is good, just the 10,000 words at the beginning of the painting can see how a person's skills are, otherwise how can he agree to such conditions?
Now that I read the whole text, I feel that a new world seems to be opened in front of me, and at that time, the script was mostly a routine of elopement between the daughter of a rich family and a poor boy, but the painted skin is a sword that goes sideways, not only innovating the entanglement of shemales, but also turning around, saying a shocking warning words.
Such a book does not dare to say that it is a big fire, at least it is a small fire. If he didn't even have this vision, he could close the door early and go home to rest.
"It's all my brother who treats people with sincerity first, and Yun Shu hopes that my brother will help me more in the future."
Talented and humble, this is such a good girl!
Hu Yanshu had another layer of affection for Jian Ning, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I'll arrange someone to engrave the impression later, if my sister still has any difficulties, you might as well speak up." ”
Jian Ning tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's hard to do that there is indeed a ......."
"What's the matter? Although my sister said, you call me brother, this brother can't be in vain. ”
Jian Ning couldn't help laughing, only to feel that the person in front of him had a hearty and informal personality, and he was quite happy to socialize, as if the person in front of him was a man in the twenty-first century, without any obstacles.
"It's not too difficult. I just want to find some goose feathers, and I want the goose wings, preferably the old goose. ”
"What do you want this thing for?"
"I've heard people say that people from other countries write with goose feathers, and it's quite convenient to write, so I want to try to see if I can improve the speed of writing a little more."
"Oh? You mean that you are a barbarian from the west? ”
Jian Ning was quite surprised, "Brother also knows that their writing instruments are different from ours?" ”
I heard my classmates who returned from a study tour talk about it. Oh, sister, you can't learn that barbarian, how beautiful my Chinese calligraphy is, since I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, how can I follow the barbarian weather? There is a loss of integrity, there is a loss of integrity! ”
When Jian Ning saw Hu Yanshu say this, his face was full of the pride of the people of a big country, and it was true pride rather than arrogance. Thinking of the history more than a hundred years later and the era in which I came, I can't help but sigh: Don't look at others as indigenous, in terms of national self-confidence, it is really inferior to the Ming people!
Seeing that Jian Ning didn't answer, but sighed softly, Hu Yanshu couldn't help but be curious, "Why is my sister sighing?" ”
Jian Ning shook her head lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my family is poor, and I want to write more scripts, so I can buy the capital to ask my brother for his daughter-in-law." ”
Hu Yanshu was stunned, and looked at Second Brother Jian's smirk. With a wry smile on his face, he said, "My sister is right, but I am pedantic." Wait a minute, I'm familiar with the owner of the saltwater goose restaurant in the back street, and I'll have someone fetch some for you. ”
"Thank you brother for that."
It's not easy to ask for a wife these days, it's hard to ask for a wife for a fool, and it's really embarrassing for this little lady!
Hu Yanshu instructed someone to fetch goose feathers, and said: "Sister, don't be too anxious, your book will definitely sell well, and then you can buy a house for your brother and daughter-in-law." can come to your house as a daughter-in-law, in fact, it is good to be a slave and a maid, in the end, it is still a serious family. ”
"No, no."
Second Brother Jian was anxious, and forgot about Jian Ning's words to take care of him, "Don't buy a daughter-in-law, buy rice, Sanniang, I don't want a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid of hunger." ”
Hu Yanshu was sad for a while, an idiot's experience of hunger was so profound, it can be seen how difficult their situation was before.
He looked at Jian Ning carefully, and then his face became a little hot.
His parents died early, and being fatherless and motherless in these years is not a good reputation, it often means bad luck, so the lady who matches his family background is unwilling to marry. The uncles of his own family showed him some of each other, but although his parents died early, he was quite angry, where could he look down on those vulgar country girls?
This Jane girl looks seventeen or eighteen, looking at her like this, she should be the same as herself, and it is difficult to say that she is married, right? After all, the girl's family has no father and mother, and she is dragging a stupid brother, so it's not ordinary to get married......
In a blink of an eye, all kinds of thoughts floated in his heart, and Junxiu's white face couldn't help but turn red. Some tilted their heads weakly, and some stammered: "No, if you don't look for a daughter-in-law, how, how can you pass on the lineage?" No, there are three unfilial pieties, no, and no queen is the big ......"
When it came to the four words of inheritance, I felt that my face was very hot, and my eyes unconsciously glanced at Jian Ning, and when I saw her looking over, I hurriedly turned around, only to feel that Lang Lang's eloquence on weekdays, and the splendid articles full of splendor, had turned into mud at this moment, and they couldn't be used for anything.
"Brother Hu, are you hot?"
Jian Ning was a little strange, why did this person suddenly sweat so much? There is a large water tank in this Baiwenzhai, and there is a river not far away, which is much cooler than your own house.
"Oh yes, it's a little hot."
"Oh, brother can buy some saltpeter to make ice by himself, Rong Ice melts, and then put it in the sun to dry, then saltpeter can be used repeatedly."
"Huh?"
Hu Yanshu, who was in a mess in his heart, turned his head and said with some surprise: "My sister still knows how to make ice?" ”
Jian Ning was stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Wasn't this method available in the late Song Dynasty?" I see that I have an ice drink shop in Daming, don't my brother know? ”
Hu Yanshu smiled bitterly, "That's a tool for people to eat in the family, where can outsiders know?" Hey? Sister, how did you find out? Could it be that someone in my sister's ancestor knows how to make ice? That's a secret method that can't be passed on! ”
"Uh......"
This time it was Jian Ning's turn to stammer, so he had to say vaguely: "Actually, I heard my father mention that my father is well-read, and maybe he saw it from somewhere." ”
"Oh, I see."
Hu Yanshu nodded, "In this way, Ling Zun is also a scholar?" ”
"Well, my father is a student (Xiucai), and my father taught me to read and paint."
"Oops!"
Hu Yanshu gave his hand again and again, "Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turns out that my sister is the daughter of Grandpa Xiang." ”
"Brother, don't make fun of me, isn't my brother also a talented man?"
The two of them laughed for a while, and the goose feathers were brought over there. Jian Ning accepted the goose feathers, saluted Hu Yanshu and said, "My brother still has something to do, so my sister won't bother." In a few days, the new manuscript will be written, and I will come back to the meeting. ”
Hu Yanshu really wanted to say "don't bother", but how could he say such a thing? Seeing that Jian Ning was leaving, he shouted in a hurry: "Sister, how can I find you?!" ”
As soon as the words came out, he made a big red face, and when he saw Jian Ning turning around and looking at him in surprise, he said again and again: "It doesn't take a few days to typeset this mold, and the book is printed, I have to tell you." ”
Jian Ning thought for a while, and then said: "Brother forgive me, the villagers look at me a lot, if my brother sends someone to gossip, I am afraid that there will be more gossip." In the future, when the conditions are better, I always have to think of coming to live in this city. I don't have much power now, so I'll work harder, and I'll come back in five days. ”
"This ...... Well, well......"
Seeing the beauty leaving, Hu Yanshu felt a sense of loss. I don't know what I saw at this glance just now, I feel that I have been waiting for 20 years, as if I should wait for her to come, this life experience is so bumpy, and the fate is so similar, is this the fate that God gave me?
Hu Yanshu's eyes brightened, and a burst of euphoria appeared in his heart, and he even involuntarily hummed a minor tune of a mountain song. The guy in the bookstore saw the surprise, and couldn't help asking, "Young master, why are you so happy?" ”
The bamboo and wood folding fan fell lightly on the man's head, and the man's happy voice echoed, "How can you understand the joys of this world?" Oh, what a wonderful person, what a wonderful person! ”
After that, he went out, leaving an inexplicable guy and arranging for the engraving......
