Chapter 8: Finding the Script
Fu Yuchen wanted to speak and stopped, and after a moment of sobbing, he looked up and said, "I can't go out during this time, and I can't expect my friends to come to see me, you see I'm so bored...... You've got to help me! ”
Fu Xuechen was puzzled: "Help you?" What can I help you? ”
"Script! I want to read the script! Fu Yuchen carefully advised: "You go to find Guan Enming, Zhang Chuyang is okay, you just tell them, you want to see the latest book, any book is fine, the more exciting the better, let them help you find it, if you find it, you will quietly hand it over to you, and then you can take it back to me directly, you can't let my father know!" The money to buy the book, I'll settle it for you! What do you think? ”
Talk book? Isn't that a novel? Fu Xuechen couldn't help but look Fu Yuchen up and down, I really couldn't see it, it turned out that this kid was still a fan of novels! It is the age when he should study the Four Books and the Five Classics hard, but he doesn't read extracurricular books in his homework books, no wonder he still secretly doesn't dare to let his father and mother know.
Thinking so in his heart, Fu Xuechen couldn't help but say: "Huh! How dare you mention it! Don't read a good book, read the book! Let my father and mother know, you have to implicate me when you are beaten, I said that you still have it, take care of your injuries honestly! ”
"Hey!" Fu Yuchen was unhappy, and said with a face full of grievances: "Fu Xuechen, do you still have a conscience!" I suffer all day long, but you go out every day with my identity, let you do me a little favor, you have learned to teach me a lesson, I am your brother! ”
"Besides! I'm not recuperating from my injuries! I can't concentrate when I feel pain, how can I do my homework? On the contrary, reading some scripts can make me forget the pain in my legs for a while...... You're my twin sister, we're related by blood, why don't you feel sorry for me? ”
Let's go! There is some truth in these words, and Fu Yuchen, as the eldest son of the Hou family, will inevitably inherit the title in the future, and he does not need to fight with others for the imperial examination, and he wants to read a few scripts during the period of recuperation, which is really not a high requirement.
Fu Xuechen agreed: "Okay! Then I'll contact your friends in the afternoon and ask them to help you find a notebook. ”
Fu Yuchen smiled at this time: "You are really my good sister!" There you go! Go and come back quickly! ”
Seeing Fu Xuechen close the door and leave, thinking that his sister's achievements today will be counted on him in the future, Fu Yuchen grinned and wanted to be happy, but it touched the wound, ouch yo yo screamed, it was really painful and happy, and the taste was indescribable.
Guozi School only has a teacher in the morning to open compulsory courses, and in the afternoon it is an elective course, and the students can go to it or not according to their own preferences, so that the students who skip class in the afternoon are in batches, but there is no teacher to reprimand and discipline.
Fu Xuechen, the teenagers who went to the palace in the morning to participate in the selection of the prince's companion study, do not have to take special leave in the afternoon, they are all free activities, if there is no prior agreement, there is no mobile phone era, it is a trouble to find someone.
Fu Xuechen looked for Guan Enming first, but he didn't find anyone in his house and Guozixue, Zhang Chuyang was more honest in comparison, and finally Fu Xuechen was in a corner of the venue specially opened up by Guozixue for students to practice the second art of archery, and found Zhang Chuyang who was playing Keju with others.
"Yuchen, what are you looking for me?"
Zhang Chuyang, who won the juju and stepped back from the field in high spirits, smiled and groaned, putting on his robe while asking Fu Xuechen.
Fu Xuechen didn't rush to reply to him, but first saw that no one around him was paying attention to them, and then said: "I've been a little bored lately, and I want to find some new words to relieve my boredom, what do you have to introduce?" ”
Zhang Chuyang was a little surprised: "Script? Don't you usually like to go with Guan Enming to find it? ”
This is the reason why Fu Xuechen went to find Guan Enming first! It's a pity that I didn't find him.
"I haven't found anyone, I don't know where he went." Fu Xuechen was helpless.
Zhang Chuyang was puzzled: "Is this matter urgent?" I can't find anyone else now, so I can find it later! After school, he will definitely go home. ”
Fu Xuechen nodded: "I've read all the old books, and I don't have homework today, I'm afraid I'll be bored at night, so it's a little anxious!" It's a good idea to take the new notebook home before school. ”
Zhang Chuyang understood: "That's okay!" I'll help you ask, you're waiting for me here. ”
There was a stone table and stone bench for people to rest on the side of the bamboo bush, Fu Xuechen answered, and immediately sat down at the stone table and watched Zhang Chuyang leave.
This is the benefit of Guozixue, all the people gathered here are readers, many people have a hobby of collecting and copying books, many private engraving books that are not available on the market, most of them can be found in this Guozixue, as for these books that are not in circulation on the market, how did they come about, no one has studied deeply, Fu Xuechen guessed, maybe there are works created by Guozixue students under pseudonyms and pseudonyms.
This kind of privately copied and privately passed on script, because there is no book market outside, so if you want a small guy like Fu An to go to the book market to buy it, it will not work and you can't buy it, and even if you are a student of Guozixue, you have to travel widely enough, have connections, know how to find this kind of script, and who to buy it, this is also the key that Fu Xuechen only knew after carefully asking Fu An.
Then why can't some of the good books circulated in Guozixue be bought in the book market, Fu Xuechen thought about it a little, but he also understood, after all, Guozixue is a Confucian important place for teaching people a subset of scriptures and history, and this kind of thing is difficult to get into the hall of elegance in the eyes of the vast majority of Confucianists.
As a result, students who like to read scripts are easily regarded as unmotivated children who are indulging in fun, and students who go to write scripts will also be considered as not having discipline, not cultivating virtue, and not doing their jobs, and will be punished more severely if they are discovered.
Even if the family is poor and needs to live by selling a few scripts for money, they dare not go to the book market openly to find someone to publish and distribute, but only dare to copy it privately and sell it for money.
In fact, in the martial arts era of Jin Gu Wenliang on the earth, there was a similar phenomenon, the treatment of martial arts novels in schools in that era was like a banned book, many students like to read it, and they like to read it secretly in class, and teachers and parents hate it, and they will confiscate and punish it as soon as they find it.
This contradictory phenomenon has persisted until the 21st century, but martial arts novels have gradually been replaced by online novels, and many wonderful online novels are still written by students, and even earn a lot of tuition and living expenses.
The best of them simply engaged in online writing full-time after graduation, so that online novel authors have developed into a new profession with many practitioners.
At this time, the Darong Empire had just been established for a few years, and everything in the current era was similar to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in China on the earth.
Fu Xuechen was in the middle of it, feeling the contradictory attitude of Mr. Guozi's students towards the book, and sometimes he really couldn't help but think, the four famous works admired by Earth China, such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Journey to the West, were not originally also folk stories of the book?
It's just that some people collected, sorted out and integrated, and recreated on the basis of their predecessors, so that they became a masterpiece of later generations with their wonderful writing, unified style, complete storyline, and folk popularity.
