Zhang Yang nodded in agreement, and sat down with the prince to watch the group of craftsmen in front of him busy working.

If you take a closer look at the people in the Ministry of Engineering repairing the house, one person is in command, and the rest are doing their own work.

"The matter of the Red Mansion has caused such a big turmoil, I am worried that it will implicate you." Li Chengqian said in a low voice, and then continued to watch a group of people in the Ministry of Industry busy.

"I didn't write the Red Mansion originally, it was written by my teacher back then, and his old man said on his deathbed that he hoped that more people would see his writings.

Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder, "It turns out that you are the teacher's last words that will let you do this, no wonder you made the price of the book of Red Mansions so cheap, I think I also want more people to see it." ”

"It's a pity that my teacher has already fallen into the ground." Zhang Yang sighed with emotion, "And my new teacher Zou Guogong, who is also about to enter the ground." ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Do you need to do something alone?" ”

Zhang Yang pondered, "At the beginning, the Red Mansion was not printed, and I always felt that I had not fulfilled his last wish, and I had no face to erect a monument to his old man, and now I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will work with me to erect a monument to the teacher." ”

Li Chengqian immediately called two craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering.

"Where will the monument be erected?"

"Out of town." Zhang Yang held his hands, and his face did not change.

Sitting on the feet of the prince's car, he left the palace all the way from the Xuanwu Gate, and now the Xuanwu Gate still seems very deserted, and there is a cold feeling.

"Lone gets a little scared every time he passes by here."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm not afraid, I just sighed in my heart." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

The two workers carried a stick with a stone tablet tied to the bottom of the stick, and they held the stone tablet with one hand and trotted behind the car with the other hand.

The prince's car stopped three miles north of Chang'an.

A newly promoted young master of the crown prince, how long has he been on duty in the East Palace, and he can ride in the same car with His Royal Highness the crown prince so soon, what a great honor.

Zhang Yang walked a few steps and found a high slope, "It's here." ”

Li Chengqian also looked around, "It's quite barren here, is it really suitable?" ”

Zhang Yang coughed his throat vigorously, and said without changing his face: "His old man is a very casual person, and he is not so particular." ”

"Just erect a monument?"

"Just erect a monument, other people's families have passed away for so many years, and they can't find their clothes."

"That's fine." Li Chengqian was full of emotion, "Your teacher is a lonely teacher, and lonely nature can't be taken lightly." ”

The people from the Ministry of Engineering finally followed with the stone monument.

Li Chengqian pointed to this high slope and said: "Just erect a monument here." ”

The two craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering relieved themselves slightly, took out the chisel and wanted to engrave words on the stone tablet, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, what words should be engraved on the stone tablet?" ”

Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Dare to ask the name of the respected teacher." ”

Zhang Yang said wistfully: "I don't know his name, I only know that he is called the old man of Qinling, so he engraves the four characters of the old man of Qinling." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian straightened his clothes, and his expression became serious, "Then engrave the four characters of the old man of Qinling." ”

The two craftsmen also worked hard, and they started to get busy before they took a break.

Li Chengqian asked in a low voice, "Can you tell Gu what kind of person his old man is?" ”

"He usually talks very little, he will teach according to his aptitude, he teaches and educates people don't care what family the other party is, he doesn't care what the other party is, there is no class, I am not talented, I am stupid, and he is willing to teach me patiently."

"It's a pity that such a master passed away early."

After the stele was erected, Zhang Yang knelt on the ground with a thud and cried.

Crying made Li Chengqian's heart throb a little.

"Teacher, I'm sorry for you......"

The more Zhang Yang cried, the louder he became.

The people around him were also moved, crying so heartbreakingly, what a good person this old man of Qinling must be.

Li Chengqian comforted: "People have passed away for many years......"

"It's hard to repay the teacher's kindness! Teacher......"

Zhang Yang began to howl again.

“……”

Half a pillar of incense passed, and Zhang Yang stopped crying, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go back." ”

Li Chengqian nodded stunned.

On the way back to the palace, Li Chengqian sighed, "It's a pity that the Red Chamber has become a swan song, and this swan song is still listed as a banned book." ”

Zhang Yang cleaned up his emotions, "The story that the teacher told me is not only the Red Mansion, and the Red Mansion will not become a swan song." ”

"Really? What's the story? ”

"It's also a story of rebellion against etiquette."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Stories are the easiest to sing, and the easiest to reach out to.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you know why Your Majesty wants to open the imperial examination?" ”

Li Chengqian's body swayed with the car, "My father's imperial examination was to recruit officials. ”

Zhang Yang said again: "Since it is a conquest of officials, why don't you use the nine-product Zhongzheng system that submits papers?" ”

After hesitating for a long time, Li Chengqian said again: "Gong Zheng said that the family has lost poison, and the court officials have become the mouthpiece of the family. ”

"The imperial examination system was originally intended to restrain the family, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?"

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, "Gu has also come into contact with some children with five surnames, and they are also quite knowledgeable, and they are very good in etiquette and conversation on weekdays. ”

“……”

The carriage staggered back to Xuanwu Gate, and when he returned to the palace, Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "The minister will go back first." ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Don't worry, the teacher will go to see it from time to time." ”

Zhang Yang wiped his tears, "His Royal Highness Prince Lao." ”

Li Shimin had just gone to the Wude Hall to see Li Yuan, and as soon as he walked a few steps, a eunuch hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Zhang passed by the Xuanwu Gate today. ”

Stopping, Li Shimin asked in a low voice, "What are they going to do?" ”

"To the north of the Xuanwu Gate, a tombstone was erected three miles away from the palace wall."

"To whom will the monument be erected?"

"It's for Young Master Zhang's teacher." The eunuch bowed his head, "The stele says that the four old men of Qinling are Young Master Zhang's teachers, so Young Master Zhang has been crying for a long time, it is really sad, it doesn't look like a fake." ”

Li Shimin continued to walk towards the Ganlu Palace, "Why did this kid suddenly want to erect a monument?" ”

The eunuch explained: "It is said that the book of the Red Mansion was written by the teacher Young Master Zhang, and now the Red Mansion is also made available to complete his teacher's last words, so that he has the face to erect a monument to his teacher." ”

"Old man Qinling?" The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more wrong it became, "Why does this only have one name?" ”

"It is said that Young Master Zhang himself does not know the name of his teacher, only such a name, and now he has not even left his clothes, but just erected a stone monument."

"This kid really respects his teacher."

The eunuch echoed: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Young Master Zhang started from a country boy and was finally civilized. ”

"What old man Qinling, why haven't I heard of this person."

"There are many masters in this world who don't go out of the mountains."

Li Shimin quickened his pace, "Although there are many hidden masters, how many can there be real talents and real learning?" Most of them are deceitful and famous. ”

The eunuch hurriedly followed Li Shimin's footsteps.

Zhang Yang erected a monument to cry for his teacher, and began to spread in the government and the opposition, and slowly the news came out of the court and there were rumors in the community.

The Gaochang people brought a lot of grapes and raisins to Lishan Village.

It was Li Yue's girl who took over this matter in the village.

The people who gave the grapes and raisins were also Gaochang's warriors, and these warriors had marks on their faces, which were branded when they were slaves.

Just standing in a neat row, there is an aura of solemnity.

This is a murderous spirit tempered in life and death for many years, brought into the customs by a caravan of more than ten people, it is said that there are hundreds of people waiting outside the pass, Gaochang's soldiers and horses are rampant in the Western Regions, and no one dares to provoke easily.

After letting the people of the village carry a box of silver coins out, the little girl said: "Here is thirty yuan of money, and Her Royal Highness the princess has explained that the silver money that should be given is still to be given, and it is also the income of your labor." ”

The other party accepted the money and didn't say anything, left the goods with his own people and left.

"Yi'er becomes a princess maid!"

"In the future, Yi'er will serve the princess and the horse."

"Yi'er won't be able to marry in the future." A group of half-grown girls coaxed.

Yu Yi listened to these words, stood up straight, "If you don't marry, you won't marry!" It's not a shame to be a maid for the princess and the horse, but you can't be a maid if you want to. ”

"You're so skinny! People don't like you because of the horses and princesses. ”

"What's wrong with me being thin? Are you literate? Do you know how to use abacus? Yu Yi picked up the stick and began to chase these girls of the same age.

The village was filled with laughter again.

The warrior was puzzled: "The princess and the concubine have a lot of dealings with Gaochang? ”

Shangguan Yi explained: "I don't know, it is said that it started when the king of Hejian County asked for cotton from the Western Regions, and our village made two large quilts for the children. ”

The samurai beckoned to the men to start unloading the goods, and the buckets of raisins were full, a full cart of more than ten barrels, each of which was half a man high.

There was also a cart of grape wine, and there were more than a dozen barrels full of grapes on the cart.

"Can you eat all this grape and raisins?" The samurai didn't know how to feel for a while, but there were so many grape wines that the powerful could afford to drink.

"The wine can be saved, and the raisins can be sold in Chang'an City if they can't be eaten." Shangguan Yi struggled to move a bucket, "There should be more goods to be delivered in the future, anyway, they were all bought by the princess and the concubine." ”

Even if you buy it, you shouldn't buy so much, and Samurai always feels that something is wrong, and he can't say that something is wrong.

Inside Chang'an City

Xu Jingzong and Zhang Daxiang drank alcohol at a wine shop.

"Recently, Gaochang has calmed down." Zhang said as he chewed on mutton in his mouth.

"That's because they're going to plant cotton, and when it's ripe, they're going to do it."

There were other drinkers talking all around, and not long after the book ban turmoil had passed, there was a matter of Zhang Yang erecting a monument for his teacher and crying in front of the monument.

Xu Jingzong whispered: "That old man of Qinling is really Zhang Shilang's teacher?" ”

Zhang Daxiang took a sip of wine, "Now I should be called Young Master Zhang, who is higher than you and me." ”

Xu Jingzong smacked, "I'm used to it, I can't change my mouth anymore." ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Jingzong said again: "The Qinling Mountains straddle the Central Plains, isolating the north and south, who can explain such a thing clearly as an old man in such a large mountain range?" ”

Zhang Daxiang hesitated: "What do you think?" ”

Xu Jingzong smiled, "Let's not say whether this teacher is true or not, the family will not pursue an old man who has been buried after all." ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded and understood, "This is a means, unless the family is shameless." ”

After speaking, the two of them nodded, and they also understood the intention.

"The family is face-saving, and the etiquette system is deeply rooted in the bones, and they will not bully a person who respects the teacher, otherwise they will slap themselves in the face and use their own etiquette to deal with them." Zhang Daxiang said with emotion: "If Zhang Shilang's crying in front of the monument is faked, this person will inevitably be too shameless, and I think that Zhang Shilang is definitely not such a person." ”

Xu Jingzong touched the wine bowl with him, "It's just speculation." ”

It's rare to see her husband concentrating on writing, Li Yue stepped forward with a teacup and watched, "How long has it been since my husband told a story." ”

Zhang Yang dipped his pen in ink, "Recently, I remembered a story about the West Chamber. ”

Li Yue moved a small bench and sat down on the side, "What kind of story is this?" ”

"A love story full of ups and downs, and he has a better ending."

"I love love stories." Li Yue moved her bench next to her husband and carefully looked at the words under the pen and ink, looking at the story in it.

After writing a chapter, Zhang Yang relaxed his arms and looked at his daughter-in-law who was watching the content intently.

"I'll write it, and my husband will read it." Li Yue took the pen and said, "When I'm tired, I'll change my husband to write." ”

"It's fine."

Zhang Yang stood up and you began to read, speaking of the protagonist Zhang Sheng's illness because of lovesickness, Li Yue's brushstrokes also slowed down, occasionally paused to reminisce about the story, and continued to write.

Aunt Yang and Aunt Wang walked into the courtyard holding rolls of paper that had been dried.

Seeing the warm scene of the husband and wife, neither of them bothered, slowed their steps, silently put the good paper into the warehouse, and then left and carefully closed the door of the yard.

"This Zhang Sheng is so pitiful." Li Yue also finished writing a paragraph with emotion.

"Their road to love is indeed full of ups and downs, and I want to tell you in advance if the ending will feel better."

Li Yue took a sip of hot tea with a teacup, "Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying in the story are finally together after all difficulties, just like us." ”

"Well, it's the same as us."

Zhang Yang nodded and repeated.

Li Yue smiled and narrowed her eyes happily.

"You said that how many children in the family are also with Zhang Sheng, Cui Yingying is so rough and bumpy, and she can't be with the person she loves in her heart."

Li Yue said in a low voice: "There should be, the etiquette system in the family is very strict, especially when it comes to marriage, it is more involuntary." ”

"In the face of the old feudal system, the most lacking thing is resistance, we light a fire in their hearts, let them rebel against the etiquette system for love, wave the banner of resistance for lifelong events, influence them, give them a positive influence, break through the shackles of the world, and fight for love! Well, for the sake of our cultural victory. ”

Listening to the husband say these words, it seems that the husband's eyes are full of hope.

Li Yue said in a low voice: "This plan is clever, subtly influencing them, first there is the Red Mansion and then there is the West Chamber, this is a strategy to punish the heart, and the other is the internal strife, so that they have no time to take care of themselves, the husband is powerful, I really admire." ”
