0881 Unbearable History
"Lang Jun is also knowledgeable and studious?"
Li Licheng, who was guarding the store, suppressed the excitement in his heart, slowly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, this volume is the "Three Rites and Righteous Sect" written by Cui Lingen, a famous Confucian teacher in Qinghe County.
"I don't know the meaning of this book, but I heard the old story of Cui Yuanjun from the elder of the family, which is vaguely similar to what I see today, so I took the liberty of guessing, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
When the young man heard Li Licheng's answer, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and he couldn't help but say, "May I ask the shopkeeper if he has all this book?" How much will you sell?"
When Li Licheng heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Although Ye Xia is gorgeous, he really knows etiquette and righteousness and is a good scholar. Lang Jun knows this and knows this, and he must be a fellow believer. However, this book is also a solitary volume in the store, please forgive the owner for being stingy......
"You're so funny! If you refuse to sell, why do you put things on display? There are more than 10,000 people in the huge Yedu capital, is there no other store to sell this book except your shop?"
The young man's entourage next to him was blackmailed by the female shopkeeper because he was afraid that the young master would ask for a purchase, so he stepped in and said with an angry face.
After all, the young man owed the world a favor, and he didn't understand the intention of the house slave at the first time, but frowned and said, "You don't know the book, don't talk nonsense! Cui Lingen is a master of etiquette, but it is a pity that he went south to Liang during the Yanchang period of the old Wei Dynasty, and the old Liang State failed to return to the north, and most of the writings stayed in the Liang State. The legend of his Qinghe family is just a piece of paper in previous years. It's almost impossible to visit him in Ye City, and it's not possible to write the whole article, and it's full of vulgar things in the market!"
When the slave heard that the young master was so upright, he was embarrassed and distressed for a while, and Li Licheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said with a fist to the young man, "Lang Jun can know a lot about these stories of his predecessors, which is really admirable. Although this book is reluctant to sell, but there is no harm in borrowing it, may I ask where Lang Jun's door is, if you are not tired of being offended, you will definitely visit with the scroll in the future!"
When the young man heard this, he was overjoyed, and even when he ignored the eyes of the house slave, he introduced himself to Li Licheng.
It turned out that the young man's name was Wang Shao, who was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, his father's name was Wang Songnian, and his grandfather Wang Zunye was killed in the Heyin Change.
Li Licheng listened to the young man's self-introduction, and had a little calculation in his heart, and his feelings were not outsiders. No wonder this Wang Shao can recognize Qinghe Cui Lingen's "Three Rites and Yizong" at a glance, because his mother was born in Qinghe Cui's family and is the daughter of Qinghe Cui Zhongwen, Cui Zhongwen is Cui? 's younger brother, if you count it like this, this Wang Shao has to call them Uncle Taiyuan.
The kinship of the five surnames is so complicated, and the Taiyuan Wang family has also married them for several generations in Longxi Li. Li Licheng fished here for more than ten days, and finally caught a small fish, of course, he couldn't let it get off the hook.
At present, it is not suitable for him to directly disclose his identity, so he lent Wang Shao a volume of "Three Rites and Yizong" on the grounds that it was difficult to find a confidant.
This Wang Shao lacked much experience, seeing that Li Licheng was so enthusiastic about him, he was naturally in a good mood, and then asked Li Licheng if he had any other collections here, and when he learned that Li Licheng still had a lot of scriptures and historical books, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even warmly invited Li Licheng to his home as a guest.
Li Licheng was extremely happy about this, and when he went inside to select a few more cherished books on scripture and history, he explained to Li Tang, and then left the store with Wang Shao, and went straight to his house with a few entourages.
The Wang family's house in Yecheng is not too big, and it looks no different from ordinary people's courtyards, but it is relatively clean and tidy inside and out.
Since there was no front hall in the house, Wang Shao asked Li Licheng to wait in the door for a while, and he hurriedly entered the house to inform his father that a guest had come to visit, and then he went out to introduce Li Licheng.
Wang Shao's father, Wang Songnian, saw Li Licheng come to see him, so he smiled and said, "Listen to Xiao'er's words, Li Jun has a famous philosopher?"
Li Licheng saw that Wang Songnian was a little sick and haggard, and he was not very healthy, but after hearing this question, he didn't have time to ask more, and even put out the books he brought one by one.
"Sure enough, sure enough, it was "
Three Rites and Righteous Sects! Haha, Cui Yantong and others often hate to see the wisdom of their predecessors, and they don't want to see the house for me first! There is even "The Great Dai Li Ji", the "Book of Jin" revised by Xie Lingyun of the Song Dynasty......
Wang Songnian is also a good bookmaker, Li Licheng's carefully selected volumes of classics and historical books can be said to be his favorite, each volume aroused his amazement, and some thin faces were full of surprises.
After a long while, Wang Songnian remembered that he was a little snub to the guests, looked away from those scrolls, and hurriedly apologized to Li Licheng and said, "I am happy to see it, I am dazed, I neglect the guests, please forgive Li Jun!"
"Where! The prince and the marquis are famous for a long time, and today they are fortunate enough to enter the hall to ask for advice, and they are really flattered."
Li Licheng was not in a hurry to reveal his identity, and still communicated with the Wang family as a bookstore owner.
However, after a few people talked for a long time, and another house slave told that some guests came to visit, and after seeing the name of the visitor, Wang Songnian could only stand up and apologize to Li Licheng, and then asked his son to lead him to the side hall to wait for a while.
The mansion of the Wang family is not too big, the so-called side hall is just an ear room on the side of the middle hall, and the sound insulation between each other is not too good, Li Licheng and Wang Shao have just sat down in the room, and they heard the sound of Wang Songnian and the guests talking to the middle hall next door, but it is not very real.
But soon after, the conversation in the hall was loud, and Wang Songnian, who had always been polite, angrily scolded and drove away the guests, and after some noise, it was only after the guests left that the hall became quiet again.
Wang Shao apologized to Li Licheng a little embarrassed, and then got up and hurried into the hall to comfort his father, and Li Licheng also followed him to the door of the middle hall again, and saw a lot of money and silk and medicinal herbs scattered in the hall.
"Pick up these dirty things, don't miss the slightest, and send them all to Wei Shui! Although my family is not a rich house, I don't need to rely on this villain to give me a life! Wang Songnian's ambition is bending, who will pay the lives of Lu Fei, Li Shu and others!"
Wang Songnian still had a look of anger on his face, and he didn't care that Li Licheng, a guest, was still there, and said with hatred in his mouth: "Wei collected the pen and became a historian in vain! Now let Xu Zhicai come to diagnose my illness in the name of it, and threaten me to follow it......
"Aya, Aya, please be careful! Relying on relatives and friends to rush to the rescue, Ayafang is out of prison, if he angers His Excellency again, I am afraid that his filial piety will be indefinite......
Seeing that his father was still angry, the young man Wang Shao hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded deeply.
When Wang Songnian heard this, he sighed again, stroked his son's back in front of him and was silent.
Li Licheng stood by the door, and his thoughts were also flowing in his heart. Although he has not been in Yecheng for a long time, he still happens to know about the matter that the Wang family's father and son are talking about.
Last year, the Northern Qi Wei was ordered to compile and revise the "Book of Wei", but it was criticized and attacked by many Kwantung clans, saying that it was not straightforward and that the revision was filthy history. Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, strongly supported Wei Shu's pen, and imposed more sanctions and punishments on the Kwantung clan who questioned the authority of the "Book of Wei", and Wang Songnian and the Fan Yang Lu Fei and Dunqiu Li Shu he said were all punished for this.
The history of a country has always been a very serious matter, especially the "Book of Wei" written by the Northern Qi Dynasty and their Western Wei Dynasty is also deeply involved, although the Western Wei Dynasty cannot repair history, but it is also quite concerned about this matter. And this turmoil is not small, so it is naturally known to the masses of Shannan Province.
Li Licheng remembered that when the king of Taiyuan mentioned this matter, he also said that the lord of Qi wanted to use the matter of repairing history to provoke the relationship between the Kwantung clans and create disputes and contradictions between them. Now just look at Wang Songnian's appearance of gritting his teeth with hatred when he talks about Wei Shui, it is estimated that the effect is also very good.
The father and son of the Wang family were sad for a while before reining in their emotions again, and noticed Li Licheng who had been standing by the door.
"May I ask if there are many historical books in Li Jun's collection? Although his family is poor, he is fortunate to have several relatives and friends who have money. If there are any books in Li Jun's collection, he can also be a visiting buyer."
After a brief conversation before, Wang Songnian also knew a lot about the strength of Li Licheng as a bibliophile, and at this time, he asked about the number of historical books in his collection, which showed what he had in mind.
Li Licheng also needs an opportunity to meet these famous families in Yecheng
After hearing Wang Songnian say this, the friends hurriedly said: "Although I am just a layman in the market, I also have a lot of admiration for the integrity and morality of the prince. Is it not to destroy history by revising history? When you return, you must carefully inspect what you have hidden, and you will be under the door of the Marquis!"
Wang Songnian was not surprised that Li Licheng, a businessman, also knew about these temple disputes, after all, the person who could collect these books was not an ordinary person.
He had been tortured in prison for more than a year for this matter, and he was entangled by Wei Shui soon after he was released, and he felt a sense of loneliness and powerlessness in his heart.
