Chapter 16: The Ancestral Hall Turmoil
In fact, Yunyi also thought about writing Xianxia novels, after all, myths and legends have always been talked about by everyone.
However, there is also a lot of risk in writing Xianxia novels, in case you are targeted by the big guy who is obsessed with asking for immortals.
Let's not talk about whether you can justify yourself, even if you can get it back, urging more will kill you.
If this big guy happens to be the current saint, it is estimated that nine times out of ten, he will be directly killed by those so-called loyal ministers and righteous people.
If you think about it carefully, it is too cost-effective to take a life for a few taels of silver.
Let's honestly copy "Dream of Red Mansions"!
After some consideration, Yunyi had already made a decision in his heart.
So with a stroke of the pen, a few dashing handwriting jumped onto the paper.
Dream of Red Mansions / Cao Xueqin.
Yes.
Although Yunyi wants to make money by copying books, he has not yet been so brazen that he directly signed his name.
Using Mr. Cao Xueqin's name as a pen name can also be regarded as a contribution to the spread of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this way, the act of plagiarism has become a porter, at most a cultural transmission across time and space.
Let Mr. Cao's masterpiece be widely circulated in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and appropriately charge some labor fees, isn't it too much?
Yun Yi thought so, and began his career as a porter.
Since he has been practicing calligraphy since he was a child, there is no obstacle for Yunyi to write with a brush for a long time.
And compared with regular script, Xingshu is better in writing speed, just suitable for code words.
A "Dream of Red Mansions" has nearly one million words, and if all of them are written in block letters, it is estimated that Yunyi's hand will be invalidated.
Busy time always flies, Yunyi has been writing hard for two days in a row, and he has only written less than 30,000 words.
Rubbing his sore wrist, Yun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seems that the code word is also a hard money!
In the past two days, in addition to copying "Dream of Red Mansions", Yunyi has written a temporary post for Zhuang Jing'an.
Since Zhuang Jing'an has been promised, this matter must be done well.
After all, the letter of recommendation for his participation in the imperial examination has to fall on him nine times out of ten.
Three days passed in a flash, and in the early morning of this day, after Yun Yi had breakfast, he took the written post and "Dream of Red Mansions" to prepare to enter the city.
Today is the day to make an appointment with Zhuang Jing'an to send the post, and Yunyi also wants to take advantage of this time to enter the city and ask the shopkeeper Tong of Jian Reading Zhai to help read the manuscript.
After all, he is also a professional in the industry, and if there is any problem with his manuscript, he can revise it in time.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, Yun Yi saw a young boy walking towards him.
This kid Yunyi has some impressions, as if he is the grandson of the patriarch, named Yunshou.
Seeing that this person was in a hurry, Yun Yi subconsciously got out of the way.
But Yun Shou did not continue to walk forward, but came to a stop in front of him.
Just when Yun Yi was puzzled, Na Yun Shou had already opened his mouth:
"Yunyi, the patriarch asked you to follow me to the ancestral hall immediately, the clan elders are already waiting there."
Listening to Yun Shou's words, Yun Yi's brows couldn't help frowning.
As far as the original owner's nature is not close to people, except for the clan worship during the New Year's holidays, the patriarch never said a word to him.
What's going on in the Mo Fei clan?
Forget it, no matter what, since the patriarch has already sent someone to call him, then this county seat, I'm afraid I won't be able to go today.
The patriarch is also the head of the village, and his power in the village is not small.
Although the original owner didn't take the patriarch seriously, Yunyi didn't dare to offend him easily.
There are more than 10 million villages in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is impossible for the government to manage them all.
So things in the village, no matter how big or small, are basically decided by the patriarch.
"Since the patriarch called me, then you wait a moment, I will put these manuscripts home, and I will go with you."
Yun Yi explained to Yun Shou, turned around and walked towards home.
However, Yunyi's behavior confused Yunshou.
In his impression, Yun Yi is a master who is not close to anyone.
Not to mention the patriarch's explanation, even if the county order comes, he may not be able to look at it squarely!
Could it be that I took the wrong medicine today?
Yun Yi didn't care about the cranky Yun Shou, returned home and handed the manuscript to Shen Youwei, and after explaining a word, he was ready to go out.
"Brother Yi'er, what did the patriarch tell you about?"
Shen Youwei asked with a worried face.
"I don't know if anyone came and I don't know, but don't worry, just go and see."
Yun Yi comforted, and there were some doubts in his heart.
"Why don't I come with you?"
Seeing this situation, Shen Youwei became even more worried.
Yi Ge'er only cares about reading on weekdays, and the things at home are not clear at all.
Now that he has gone to the ancestral hall, if something happens, how should he deal with it!
"Women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, according to the stubbornness of the patriarch, even if you get there, I'm afraid you won't be allowed to enter."
Yun Yi reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, reassured her, and then turned around and walked outside.
When Yun Yi came to the ancestral hall, there were indeed many people gathered here.
In addition to the patriarch Yunshan, several veteran clan elders also sat on the Taishi chair in the ancestral hall.
Yun Yi was not surprised at all by the appearance of these old men here.
After all, several of them are the older generation of the Yun clan, but whenever there is something in the village, these people will be there to help.
But the appearance of Zhou Kang with the housekeeper and servant here made Yunyi a little confused.
Debt collection?
Look at this posture doesn't look like it!
Coming to sue?
Then it should not be.
After all, it has been several days since he chased and cut him with a firewood knife.
And even if he wants to sue, he should go to the county office.
This ran to the Yun Clan Ancestral Hall, obviously not in the right place!
"Yun Yi has seen the patriarch and the clan elders."
The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, since he can't figure it out, Yunyi simply doesn't want to think about it.
Seeing that he bowed without being humble or arrogant, he got up and continued to ask towards Yun Shan:
"I don't know what the patriarch called the younger generation here?"
"It's not a big deal, I heard that you were removed from the list by Master Liu, I don't know if this matter is true or not?"
Yun Shan squinted his eyes, he felt that this Yun Yi seemed to be a little different today.
"Patriarch Hui's words, my mother was seriously ill some time ago, and because I really couldn't come up with the money to pay for it, I was kicked out of the school by Master Liu."
After listening to Yun Shan's words, Yun Yi first glanced at Zhou Kang, and then he told the story without hesitation.
It stands to reason that although he was removed from the list by Liu Fuzi, although he did not deliberately keep it secret, it would not have spread to the village so quickly.
If the expectation is good, it must be Zhou Kang, the bastard, who fanned the flames inside.
"Since you don't study anymore, just hand over the few acres of fertile land at home!"
It seemed that Yun Yi had expected such an answer, and as soon as the words fell, Yun Shan explained directly as a matter of course.
"Why should I hand over my field?"
Hearing that Yun Shan said it as a matter of course, Yun Yi's tone couldn't help but become cold.
Although he is not the material for farming, the field is also his own property.
Now that Yunshan opened his mouth and let himself hand over his family property, what is the difference between this and robbery?
"The reason why I gave those acres of fertile land to your family at the beginning is because you are a scholar, and if the field is fertile, you can get more than three or five buckets."
"Now that you have been removed from Liu Fuzi's name, not to mention that you are a talent in the examination, you can't even participate in the Tongsheng exam, what kind of face do you have to steal those acres of good land again?"
Yun Shan stroked his beard, and said that it was a matter of course.
"Who said that if I was removed from my name by Master Liu, I can't continue to study?"
Yun Yi asked in a cold tone, but his eyes were staring at Zhou Kang, who was smiling evilly.
