Chapter Seventy-Two: Cai Bian
"What?"
Fan Lao was a little puzzled.
"During this time, because I was busy with affairs, I didn't continue to write, so let's find a time to write after a while."
Xu Hanliang explained.
Fan Lao frowned: "How can this be, a gentleman's word, it is difficult to chase a horse, since it has already promised us, well, their readers, naturally want to talk about credit." ”
From Fan Lao's expression just now, Xu Hanliang knew that Fan Lao was chasing his "Journey to the West" nine times out of ten.
Books like "Journey to the West" are suitable for all ages, Fan Lao is not the kind of rotten Confucian, and naturally there is no prejudice against this kind of wonderful storybook.
During this period of time, "Journey to the West" was indeed a bit crazy, and a bookseller came to his home yesterday to urge the draft.
But Xu Hanliang was busy with official business and wanted to concentrate on studying, so he pushed them out first.
During this period of time, just the book "Journey to the West", Xu Hanliang has already earned a lot of silver.
Now the popularity of "Journey to the West" has not only not weakened, but even has an intensifying trend.
It didn't take any toll on the book's sales because of the weakening of his influence.
Even now, "Journey to the West" has become popular in Tokyo.
There are also many pirated booksellers, who are already engraving and selling everywhere.
For some sentences of "Journey to the West", Xu Hanliang did make some modifications.
My father is still in prison, and if I really take turns to do that kind of emperor, I will write it when I come to my house next year.
Then Xu Youdao doesn't need to go to Cangzhou, it is more comfortable to find a feng shui treasure and bury himself on the spot.
After some shirk, Xu Hanliang agreed to return home, and then wrote all the five chapters of "Journey to the West" that he had promised to update.
After hearing these words, Fan Lao was satisfied and nodded.
"By the way, if you have time again tomorrow, then come to the academy again, I have an old friend who wants to introduce you to you."
Fan Lao seemed to suddenly think of something and spoke.
"I guess that old friend is quite interested in you, and I told him a lot about you some time ago."
Han Lao added a sentence on the side.
Xu Hanliang was silent for two seconds before he spoke: "The two old friends they are talking about can't be Cai Bian, right?" ”
When the second elder heard this, he was a little surprised, and said in unison: "How do you know?" ”
"I heard before that the capital was going to send Cai Bian to investigate the theft of Caoyin, as an old friend of the two, then the status is definitely not low, and the two of them can introduce me to me, they must not be general, so in this way, only Cai Bian is counted."
Xu Hanliang said his analysis word by word.
Han Lao nodded beside him, and then said: "No wonder I was able to write "Clearing Grievances", I still have some reasoning ability, it is true. ”
"Why does he want to see me?"
Xu Hanliang asked directly.
I'm just a person in a small place, and it's mediocre in every way.
"Since you know his name, you know who his father-in-law is."
"The reason why he wants to see you is to hear your advice to the reformers."
Fan Lao then told the reason.
"My suggestion?"
This made Xu Hanliang even more mired in doubts.
He has points in what his identity, how can a person who has not even entered the officialdom give advice to an old man in the officialdom?
is a person who was the prime minister at the beginning, and now he is the biggest official he has ever seen, and he is only a governor.
And he also felt that although he knew a lot of these things, he was just talking about soldiers.
If it is applied to real practice, he really doesn't know if it will succeed.
The background of this era itself is extremely complex, and it must be adapted to local conditions.
"You can come early tomorrow, needless to say."
Fan Lao stretched out a hand, turned the chess pieces on the table into a mess, and said casually.
Looking at this Fan Lao, who didn't talk about chess virtues, Xu Hanliang just showed a wry smile: "That's good." ”
After returning home, Xu Hanliang wanted to write "Journey to the West" first.
I had already promised Fan Lao before, so no matter what happened today, I had to catch up with the manuscript.
The five chapters of "Journey to the West" add up to 20,000 words, Xu Hanliang has written more than 10,000 words before, and today he only needs to make up the rest.
As soon as I returned home, I saw two women in the family, sitting around the stone table boredly.
During the day, Chong Xiuwen will go out with Xiaocui to perform and come back quite late.
Now although he lives in Xu Hanliang's house, he is unwilling to be the one who eats and drinks for nothing.
Some of the dishes eaten at the ordinary family were bought back with the money they used to sell their performances.
Xu Hanliang resigned again and again, but he still did his own thing, and he had no choice but to follow his temperament.
After seeing Xu Hanliang come back, the two girls were full of smiles on their faces and immediately greeted them.
After seeing this scene, Xu Han's conscience couldn't help but feel a little sad.
In fact, in normal times, they are nothing at home.
Because it was a woman, they were reluctant to go out alone.
If it's in modern times, it's good to have a mobile phone and a computer, so that you can be an otaku and a housegirl.
But in this day and age, that's nothing.
Letting the two stay in the house all the time is indeed a bit too embarrassing for the two of them.
"Lang Jun, are you back?"
"Childe, are you back?"
After seeing Xu Hanliang, the two said in unison.
"You two, do you want to do some business?"
Xu Hanliang looked at the two of them, and then asked.
The question on the other side made the two of them a little puzzled.
"If I go out, will it cause any trouble for Childe?"
Master Li said first.
"I'm worried that I'm going out to show up as a woman, and it seems that something is not good."
Zhiniang then said.
It can be seen that the two do not want to stay at home all the time.
But for all reasons, this is a helpless move.
Li Shishi was able to give up the identity of this oiran because of a sentence, and in Xu Hanliang's opinion, he didn't have any charm at all.
It's because Li Shishi was born with a desire to escape from the cage.
And her words just made her break through such a layer of feudal shackles.
In the past, as an Oiran, he was already able to explain his own efforts.
Oiran not only needs to be beautiful, but also needs to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is a strong woman herself.
Therefore, if you stay in the home center all the time, you will definitely feel depressed.
