Chapter 27 Borrowing Books
There are several more book pavilions in the imperial palace, in addition to the Hongwen Hall dedicated to the emperor, there is also a large library of various books. The Great Library Pavilion is generally not allowed to enter at will. It is easy to borrow books from the small library next to the library.
Most of the books in it are published more at the moment, or new editions of ancient books. Some miscellaneous notes, or scripts for the pastime of harem concubines.
Before the Heavenly Week, the world was not very supportive of women reading books. The folk customs of Tianzhou are open, and the aristocratic women also have their own schools. However, what he learned was not the imperial examination, the Jinshi or the Ming Jing.
Wen Qingwu walked into the courtyard of the library and was seen by the little eunuch who swept the steps. The little eunuch dragged the broom and ran into the library.
As soon as I walked up a step of the stairs, I saw that I was wearing a navy blue Luo brocade round-necked narrow-sleeved robe and a black Luo woven head. Standing on the top of the steps with his hands folded, he looked at Wen Qingwu at the bottom of the steps for a long time.
"Yo, Wen Cairen!" Xu Gonggong, the eunuch in charge of the library, screamed. He only has six grades. According to the rules, when you see Wen Qingwu, you must salute. But the way he stood with his sleeves rolled up was so leisurely. I can't tell if I can salute.
Wen Qingwu nodded: "I have nothing to do, I want to come over and borrow two books." ”
"That's not a coincidence, the book pavilion is turned over today, and no books are borrowed." Gonggong Xu looked at Wen Qingwu condescendingly.
As the words fell, a woman in a pink Luo Yan skirt walked out of the library, with a maid behind her, and the maid was holding two books in her hands.
"Father-in-law Xu, I'll go back first." Saying that, the woman saluted to Gonggong Xu, her eyes swept over Wen Qingwu, bent her legs, and left.
Liu Ye tilted his head and looked at the two books that the maid was holding, and instantly understood that this was his own talent who was bullied. He opened his short legs and crossed his waist at Gonggong Xu and said angrily: "Aren't you all borrowed?!" How can she borrow! ”
"That was before." Gonggong Xu was not caught in a little panic, he still clasped his hands and sneered at Liu Ye: "After this moment, you can't borrow it." ”
Liu Ye was so angry that his face was red, but he was helpless. She can't go and beat this old man up. Although she is very angry, she is still very brave......
Wen Qingwu pulled the willow leaf behind him, and looked at Gonggong Xu above with those plain eyes like water: "When will the study pavilion in the inner courtyard of the palace be decided by a eunuch who does not pass through?" ”
Hearing Wen Qingwu's words, Xu Zhangshi's face sank, and he sneered: "Hmph." Wen Cairen can't talk nonsense, he tortures the old slave. The book pavilion in the inner courtyard of the palace is naturally the emperor's final say. ”
As he spoke, Xu Zhangshi raised his eyelids and glanced at the side, his gaze swept over the adjacent large library pavilion: "If Wen Cairen can go and let the emperor speak, needless to say, this small library is a large library pavilion, and even the emperor's Hongwen Pavilion Wen Cairen can enter if he wants to." ”
"However, talented people naturally have to get the emperor's dictation first." Xu Zhangshi tightened his hands tighter.
Unlike the palace service agencies of the Shangshi Bureau, those are customized, have strict hierarchies, and also act according to the rules. For example, no matter how much the dining room wants to torture Wen Qingwu, it is to deliver bad food. But I didn't dare not send it.
The book pavilion is different, there is no customization here. There is no such ridiculous rule that the palace concubines must read a few books every quarter. There are no rules, you can watch it if you want.
There can also be various reasons not to show you. To put it bluntly, from a certain point of view, this territory is indeed Xu Zhang's final say.
How could it be possible to ask the emperor for an edict! Liu Ye looked at Xu Zhangshi, who had no fear, and his neck was thick.
Wen Qingwu said: "Xu Zhangshi, does this mean that I can't get the emperor's edict?" ”
Xu Zhangshi sneered again and did not respond.
He probably didn't know about Wen Qingwu's notoriety. Doing things to the palace concubines of lower rank does not mean that she dares to shout and do things to them, the palace officials.
Looking at Xu Zhangshi's appearance, Wen Qingwu turned his head and glanced at Liu Ye.
Liu Ye looked at Wen Qingwu with round eyes, and opened his mouth with a look of surprise.
What do you mean?
Wen Qingwu turned his head, stretched out his hand, and spread it out towards the willow leaves beside him.
A moment later, something slowly handed over. Wen Qingwu took it and saw that it was the fan that the willow leaf was holding.
She lifted the fan and fanned it, looking at the flowing leaves. Pick Ming said straightforwardly: "I mean, give the silver you brought with you to Xu Zhangshi." ”
Liu Ye pressed his heart, as if he heard something terrible: "The silver is for Xu Zhang?" ”
Wen Qingwu nodded.
Hearing Wen Qingwu's order, even though he was extremely unwilling, Liu Ye still took out a small silver naked child from his heart.
Wen Qingwu was helpless: "All." ”
Liu Ye flattened his mouth, and took out two silver nudes from his heart.
Wen Qingwu frowned.
"That's how many slaves and maids brought with them......"
She didn't know that this little girl was so stingy
"It's all to Grandpa Xu." Wen Qingwu said.
Liu Ye reluctantly turned a black face at Xu Zhangshi, and spread the three silver nudes in his hand.
Xu took it and shook it. Putting it in his arms, he turned his head and snorted coldly.
There was no intention of giving way at all, and he was still blocking the steps.
Is this the money that has been collected and will not be given to them to enter? Willow leaf clenched the pink little fist "you"
Wen Qingwu pulled the willow leaf again. Raise your hand to take off the white hosta on her head and hand it to Xu Zhangshi.
Liu Ye hurriedly said: "Talented, this is you"
Wen Qingwu glanced at her coldly, and Liu Ye closed his mouth and swallowed the words behind.
"Maybe in?"
Xu Zhangshi took the hosta in Wen Qingwu's hand in surprise, looked left and right, and then took a step to the side. His chin lifted towards the inside of the library.
Wen Qingwu lifted her skirt and calmly walked into the library. Liu Ye followed behind Wen Qingwu, glaring at Xu Zhangshi's eyes, eager to shoot sharp knives at him.
Approaching the book pavilion, Wen Qingwu quickly found the book. The book she wanted was simple, a history book. There may not be any serious history books for the palace concubines here. However, there are still books that are briefly used as a pastime and involve the change of dynasties.
After turning around, Wen Qingwu looked slowly inside.
It turns out that in this world, there used to be pre-Qin and hundreds of schools. The torrent of history is the same as his previous life. Until the Three Kingdoms. After the Three Kingdoms, the world was different.
When I came out, it was already a little dark.
Liu Ye hugged three books, which added up to an inch thick. When she walked out of the threshold, a palm, which had been powdered, came out in front of her: "Eh, wait." Xu Zhangshi's yin and yang strange voice reached Liu Ye's ears. Looking at the horizontal hand in front of her, she immediately collapsed.
"I forgot to tell the talented people that this book can only be borrowed for one day." Xu Zhangshi looked up at the already dark sky: "Ming'er has to be returned at the beginning of the morning." He turned his head to Wen Qingwu and smiled mockingly at Wen Qingwu, who had already walked up the stairs.
