Chapter XXIII

When Chu Xi was rebuilding West Street, after meeting Jin Yu, he bullied Jin Yu for a gentle temperament, and he has been relying on Jin Yu's house. In the name of helping him give advice, the actual situation is to avoid his shameless "Rui Wang Party" father.

Chu Xi is outstanding in learning, brilliant in writing, and is one of the seven sons of Shangjing, Jin Yu is quite compatible with him, and naturally welcomes Chu Xi very much.

After the reconstruction of West Street was completed, Jin Yu took care of his clothes, refused all rewards, and only closed the door to study, in fact, he led dozens of staff members to help Jin Tong compile a dictionary.

Jin Yu is a general scholar, and the Great Yi Dynasty has tens of thousands of words, and it is really not very affordable to compile such a professional thing as a dictionary.

Moreover, Jin Tong knew that Jin Yu was two catties, and he did not tell Jin Yu about the matter of "movable type printing", although Jin Yu was guarded by more than 100 guards from the Jian'an Hou Mansion, but there were many people talking, and Jin Yu was loose and loose, for fear of leaking the news.

Therefore, Jintong excused himself to the chaos in the court now, the holy lord did not appoint a prince, and several princes fought fiercely openly and secretly. If a city gate catches fire, it will be unlucky to affect the fish in the pond! Staying away from the court and concentrating on writing books and speaking is the way to save your life.

Jin Yu thought so, although he knew that his talent was limited, and compiling a dictionary was really a move that did not know the height of the sky, he still obediently closed the door and thanked the guests, concentrating on gnawing words.

Chu Xi relied on his house every day, naturally helping unconditionally and enthusiastically, and by the way, he also called the two sons of Lord Lu, who was also located in Shangjing, known as the "Lu Family's Double Unique", Lu Hanwen and Lu Hongwen, to help.

Jin Yu almost cried with joy, and got along with several people very happily, usually calling each other words. Jinyu, the word Wen Xuan. Chu is clear, and the words are good. The Lu brothers, the word brother meditates, and the brother word is cautious. A few people were so good that they slept almost every night, talked freely about the way of learning, and then became very happy and sad.

The three sons of Shangjing, their attitude towards learning is more rigorous than the other. When you encounter a word that cannot be defined, you have to read the classics, get to the bottom of it, and find out the truth.

Helplessly, there are countless local dialects, remote words, and multiple meanings. However, the classics are also quite vague, so the three sons quarrel every day over how many pronunciations, how many writings, and how many meanings a word has, just worse, oh no! It's already been done, and it's getting worse.

Jin Yu, together with dozens of staff, in line with the attitude of valuing peace, repeatedly acted as intermediaries to reconcile. Helplessly, the third son's ability to lead people into the ditch is really strong, and the ending is often dozens of people, arguing so much that his face is red and his neck is thick.

The sound of scholarly arguments of those who are screaming and screaming is also waving in the wind, which really disturbs the people. Thanks to Jinyu, there are a few guards who have been on the battlefield, and their image is brave, scaring away many neighbors who come to complain.

As a result, a large group of well-educated people have no leader, not to mention half the effort, and the progress of the work is really slow.

Jintong's original plan was to "invent" movable type printing before the Thousand Autumn Festival of the Holy Lord (the birthday of the Holy Lord falls on the eighth day of the first month of November).

First of all, he relied on this technique to make friends with the emperor Mr. Jiang Zhuoting, and then gave Jin Yu to Mr. Jiang as a closed disciple, basically even if she kept her honest third brother away from the court battle. Moreover, let Mr. Jiang play the Holy Lord, print books with his protΓ©gΓ©s, and educate the people, and when the time comes, her third brother will follow the emperor to help, and it will be easy to earn fame. In this way, at least the life of Jingbei Hou can be safe.

Jintong used the price of ten jars of wine to invite Gongsun Wuji to her third brother to help. There is no way, but as long as she has an intellectual under her who is rich in learning, has leadership skills, and has strong skills, she can understand her meaning in just a few words, she will not use this old man.

Jin Tong honestly and unceremoniously gave a military order to Gongsun Wuji, and on the first day of October at the latest, she must compile the Dayi dictionary.

Gongsun Wuji succumbed to Jintong's coercion and temptation, obediently took ten jars of wine, and went to the temporary mansion of the Marquis of Jingbei to help Jinyu.

As soon as Gongsun Wuji packed his luggage and left, Jintong let people carry 500 catties of high liquor on his back foot, and carefully selected about 200 new bamboos from the inside of Yingzhu Zhai and the big bamboo forest next to him, and opened a small hole to inject the liquor into it and close it.

Jintong drew the drawings to indicate the location, and Zhang He, just in case, made a hidden mark on each wine-infused new bamboo.

Don't ask Jintong to operate like this: first; In order to earn money. Second; In order to torture the grandson Lao'er!

After Jintong made a small move, he went to Niutouzhuang and stayed in the temporary mansion of Jian'an Hou, who was not good at eating and drinking.

The place called the temporary mansion naturally does not live as well as the shadow bamboo zhai in the Pingning Hou Mansion, as for the food, Gongsun Wuji regrets it!

He has been eating and drinking all his life, since Jintong took charge of the Hou Mansion, his tongue has been raised and raised, and he is extremely picky, how can Jinyu satisfy his appetite?

I already knew that I would let Jintong give him a pair of cards from Xiangruilou, so that he could eat and drink for nothing. The food here in Jinyu, if he doesn't die of hunger, he is the ancestor of Gongsun to accumulate virtue.

If it weren't for Jin Wei's respect for him as if he were a grandson, Gongsun Wuji would have picked a son and returned to Yingzhuzhai.

Think about it, alas! He really didn't dare to pick a son to go back, to tell the truth, he was a little stunned! This girl is ruthless, he can't afford to toss this old bone, he just wants to spend his old age in peace.

Fortunately, there are still ten jars of wine that can slowly hold on and wait for Jintong to come back, otherwise, he would rather hang the southeast branch and die alone on the branch holding incense, rather than let him come to the temporary mansion of Jingbei Hou to bother with his brains.

Gongsun Wuji is not as good as Jinyu, Jinyu is to edit a dictionary out, thanks to Qianqiu, in the future, students can find out in the dictionary if they have illiterate words, think about it is really exciting.

Gongsun Wuji knew Jintong's "movable type printing", so he simply and violently according to the emperor Jiang Zhuoting's "Da Yi Jiezi", more than 9,000 characters were divided into radicals according to the radicals, and the number of words was divided into categories. It was announced that it was completed in less than a month, and after sending someone to transcribe it clearly, the dictionary was immediately sent to Jintong's "Qiao Gongfang" to facilitate Xu Weiyi to carry out the next process.

And the three sons of Shangjing, they also indicate the source of the meaning word by word, and they are still noisy like a duck farm in Niutouzhuang every day.

In the end, even Jin Yu couldn't bear it. His wife, Tang, gave birth to his eldest son, who was over one year old and had a strong physique, suitable for going out of the country. The Tang family planned to take advantage of the crisp autumn weather to go to Beijing with their son and reunite with the family.

With the help of Jintong, Jin Yu had already purchased a mansion with two gardens and was being renovated. Now the temporary mansion is in a mess, and when Jin Yu is in trouble, he hides in the Jian'an Hou Mansion to supervise the work, in order to steal half a day of leisure.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

At the end of September, the farm was busy, and the entire field planted by Niutouzhuang began to be harvested, Jintong thought that he had entrusted Gongsun Wuji with an important task, and it was time to go back and see the progress of the work. Besides, Prince Su will return soon, and with his support, Chu Wan doesn't have to worry about Chu Lingzhou stalking him, so the two girlfriends both returned home.

Chu Wan unceremoniously took more than a dozen jars of wine from Jintong and happily returned to Prince Su's mansion.

Prince Su was still in the palace and didn't come back, Chu Wan personally looked at the kitchen, prepared the hot pot according to the way Jintong gave him, and was very busy.

Prince Su arrived at the mansion when he was about to die. The slammer of the Holy Lord let him eat a few cakes that did not taste good, but he was so hungry that his stomach was close to his back, and he walked a little shaky. Before entering the house, he smelled a strong fragrance that was different from the past, and Prince Su couldn't help but salivate, and instantly became energetic, and immediately accelerated his pace.

When Chu Wan saw him come back, she hurriedly asked the maid to quickly help the prince take off the court clothes, and she personally put the meatballs into the soup pot, and helped Prince Su take a bowl of soup and adjust a plate of sauce.

Prince Su first drank a bowl of soup to cushion his stomach, and then couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and take a sip: "Good wine!" It is much hotter than the jade pot of Xiangrui Building. ”

"Although the prince drinks happily, this wine is called Wuliang mellow, which is naturally more mellow than the jade pot spring. In addition, there are several newly brewed wines from Tao Yao and Autumn Point Soldiers in the battlefield, in addition to the Pingning Hou family in Beijing, we are the only ones here, and the prince has time to taste them one by one. The concubine was cheeky and took more than a dozen jars, which was enough for the prince to enjoy. It's hateful to go to Niutouzhuang to bring two maids and four guards, but they can't rob Mrs. Pingninghou, or the concubine will have to empty the wine cellar of Niutouzhuang. ”

Chu Wan chirped as crisply as a magpie, Prince Su felt inexplicably happy, and his tone became brisk: "Don't!" This king can't beat Zheng Qiyan's guy! ”

"Pingning Hou dares to beat the prince? The concubine helped the prince to vent her anger and beat Mrs. Pingninghou. ”

Prince Su laughed, he hadn't seen Wan'er so happy for a long time. went to Niutouzhuang, Wan'er seemed to be young back to when she first married him, and she was very lively.

The old husband and young wife had dinner together in harmony, the two husbands and wives feasted, and the entire Prince Su Mansion somehow became jubilant.

After finishing the meal, Prince Su went to the study to deal with official business.

Chu Wan was a little overwhelmed for dinner, and she walked around the room alone to eat. Thinking of the dance with Jintong that night, he was full of childlike innocence, twisting his waist and shaking his shoulders to jump in the room.

"Wan'er, what are you doing?" Prince Su stayed at the door with a surprised expression.

"I, the concubine, recently learned, learned a few martial arts, and used a little more for dinner, so I used my hands and feet to eliminate food." Prince Su has always taken a lot of time to deal with official business, but Chu Wan didn't expect him to be much faster than usual today, but he was taken aback.

"Who taught this martial art? Nondescript! If you want to learn, this king himself will teach you! ”

"Really?" Chu Wan didn't react a little.

Since Chu Wan married into Prince Su's mansion, she has always been dignified and noble in front of people, for fear of losing Prince Su's face. In private, he is also respectful and gentle to Prince Su, and it is rare for such a childish side to be revealed. Prince Su couldn't help but tease her: "Fake!" Joke. ”

"Fuck your uncle!" Chu Wan couldn't help it, she was used to playing with Jintong in the past half a month, and she kicked it honestly and unceremoniously.

Prince Su was caught off guard, forgetting that he was standing by the door, and when he dodged, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell. Chu Wan hurriedly went to help, and the two of them made a mess. In the end, I got into bed, and the night was infinitely spring.
