Thank you to Accountant Xu for voting for the monthly ticket. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the west wing of the front yard of the printing office, several craftsmen are making clay blanks out of cement and carving reverse characters on one end. Two handymen carefully carried the carved three-plate mud blank to fire, walking in front, the shorter handyman Li Si, accidentally stepped on a lump of hard mud, one stumbled, his shoulders slipped, the iron plate tilted, and the mud was scattered all over the ground.

The mud had just dried, had not yet been fired into shape, and fell to the ground and shattered.

When the craftsman Wang Laohan heard the sound and came out to see it, he was very distressed, and his anger rose, and he said loudly: "What are you two doing? Do you know that these clay blanks were carved by us for a long time? It was all broken at once. Punish you for half a month's wages! ”

In this era, there are few literate people, and even fewer literate craftsmen, and many literate people are self-exalted and unwilling to do the work of craftsmen. The words used for printing can not be too ugly, the printing bureau can get their hands on a few of their words, all the clay blanks, all of them have to engrave one by one, each word is not carved a clay blank to finish, some words to engrave several, or even dozens of spare. They have a lot of work to do.

There were seventy or eighty words in the broken three clay slabs, and the two craftsmen had to carve them for a day. How could he not be distressed?

Li Si cried with a sad face, but Zheng Liu, a tall handyman, snorted: "It was Li Si's shoulder that slipped and broke it, it's none of my business, you can punish Li Si." ”

Li Si was distressed when he heard that he was going to be fined half a month's salary, and when he heard Zheng Liu say this, he immediately screamed like a pig: "Why is it none of your business?" You're in the back, if you hold the rope, how can you fall? It's not that you don't know what to think about, hum, I see, you're thinking about the tender face of your neighbor Xiaohua, right? ”

Zheng Liuda was furious, poked the flat pole to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "You look at Xiaohua and say it directly, why do you have to do anything with her?" Don't pee and look in the mirror, will Xiaohua like you? ”

The two miscellaneous servants quarreled for a few words, and then they fought, and it was too late for Wang Laohan to stop him, so he was so angry that he just shouted: "Come on, drive these two rough men out." ”

Zhang Bu, dressed in the costume of a handyman, stood in the middle of several handymen. He went to the printing office for half a month, and because of his diligent hands and feet and sweet mouth, he was able to carry the mud. The scene that just happened, he saw it all in his eyes, saw that Li Si Zheng Liu was punished, and was just about to step forward to pick up the mud that had not fallen apart, Li Si Zheng Liu fought, and when the big feet were staggered, all the mud was turned into powder.

Several handymen in the front yard heard Wang Laohan's shout, and hurriedly ran in, stopping Li Si and Zheng Liu, and Zhang Bu bent down straight.

Wang Laohan watched the mud billet being trampled into powder, and when the wind blew, it was in the air, and he was so angry that he was panting, and he just shouted: "Quickly fork them out!" ”

That's his hard work.

Li Si's hands were cut behind his back, his stout body struggled, and said, "I came in only thanks to Chen Shisan, Wang Laohan, aren't you afraid of offending Chen Shisan?" ”

Chen 13 is the head of the furnace.

As the weather gets hotter, how much sin does it take to burn a stove in the summer? He was Chen Shisan's brother-in-law, and he was able to enter the printing office and give Chen Shisan's four fish, and his sister-in-law said please next to him, so that he could get the job of carrying the mud. It's a good job to be lazy and you don't have to bake by the fire.

If he offended Chen Shisan, he deliberately burned the clay, and Wang Laohan didn't even have a place to cry. Who's going to know for sure?

Wang Laohan hesitated.

Li Si suddenly became proud, and said, "If you don't pursue it, I will help you say a few good words in front of Chen Shisan, and ensure that the heat from the furnace is just right." ”

Wang Laohan was furious and said, "So, you are dissatisfied with me and speak ill of me in front of Chen Shisan, he only deliberately burned a furnace yesterday?" ”

A whole furnace of clay with hundreds of words was all invalid, and he couldn't sleep all night.

Li Si was dumbfounded, the whole furnace burned out yesterday, and there was really nothing to do with him, it was Chen Shisan who took a nap and overslept, so that the fire was burned, and the mud was all burned out.

The more Wang Laohan thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he couldn't help but be so angry that his forehead was bruised, and said: "Okay, you Li Si, I treat you well, you actually treat me like this." I will definitely go to tell Chen Thirteen before Jiang Zuocheng. Someone, beat him out with a stick. ”

Ouyang Zhen was under the protection of Cheng Mo, and was sealed by Liu Xun as a general, if he can really invent movable type printing and promote words, he will be a great hero of the Wu Dynasty, what is a general as a Cheng?

Li Si panicked when he saw that the matter was getting bigger, and said, "No, Chen Shisan didn't deliberately burn it, I said it nonsense." ”

How could the old man believe him.

The handyman who twisted him looked at him like an idiot.

Li Si muttered, "There really isn't." His eyes wandered, hoping to find someone to speak to him, but when the servants touched his eyes, they all turned their heads away, and only one of them looked at him calmly, his eyes clear, without a trace of impurities.

"Zhang Dalang, you have to help me tell me, Chen Shisan really didn't mean it." Li Siyang begged that if he really lost his brother-in-law's work, his mother-in-law would definitely not be able to spare him, and his wife would not be able to spare him.

Zhangbu has been waiting for an opportunity. Fortunately, Li Si was not stupid enough to get home, and he still knew how to help Chen Shisan speak. He was standing by the door, just when Wang Laohan was about to go to Ouyang Yu, he was quick and quickly grabbed it, and said: "Uncle Wang, you are angry, such a big thing, how dare the thirteenth master be a child's play?" Li Sikou didn't choose what to say, you must not take it seriously, otherwise it will really make a fuss, and everyone will not look good. ”

If it was rumored that someone had deliberately burned the mud, maybe they would have been replaced.

Wang Laohan glanced back at Zhang Bu, and saw that this kid had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and everyone else was ash and dust, but his head and face were clean, so he couldn't help but look at him more, his tone was softer, and said, "What do you know, is it easy to carve a clay blank?" Now there is a shortage of manpower, and the task is tight, where to find someone to engrave? ”

Zhang Bu said: "When the little one was a child, he was taught by his neighbors and knew a few words, if Uncle Wang was willing to give the little one a chance, the little one was willing to help carve the words." ”

The day's wages of the letter-engraver are five times that of the handymen, and the work is light, and the handymen are red-eyed when they talk about it.

Wang Laohan said happily: "Are you literate? Quick, write a few words and I'll see. ”

It is a happy event that can have one more craftsman who engraves words. Wang Laohan didn't care about going to Ouyang Yu to complain, and he didn't care about going to Chen San's theory, so he asked Zhang Bu to write a few words to him on the spot.

Zhang Bu was born in a family, his grandfather was a great Confucian, he studied at the age of five, and he had to be personally instructed by Zhang Qiu with a brush hand, so he could not only be literate? He is clearly half a master of calligraphy.

When a few words were written, Wang Laohan was full of praise and said, "You immediately turned into a craftsman." For your sake, I don't care about Chen Shisan, but Li Si can't stay, so get out of here immediately. ”
