Wen Liang listened to Lang Zhong's words, he knew that the identity of Lang Zhong, the imperial servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, must be extremely noble, but he still firmly stated that he must invite people.

Fang's face was unhappy, but he didn't say anything more.

Lang Zhong then turned and left.

The next day, the sun was shining.

Su Yu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Xi Yu saw him, he said, "Now you must develop the printing technique before you can start running a newspaper."

Then, he explained to Su Yu in detail some of the processes of printing.

Su Yu had naturally never heard of this kind of process.

He really didn't understand where Xi Yu got this.

Of course, Xi Yu also knew that this ancient printing technique was still inconvenient compared to the previous life.

But at this time, it's good to be able to improve yourself.

Xi Yu said: "Up to now, I need the people to find someone who can rub films, so that I can do this easily."

He told Su Yu not to worry, now they will go out to find someone.

"Actually, I once learned of such a strange person in a place called Higashiyama Village."

Xi Yu wants to tell him that he is not idle.

I also used to think about the situation of running a newspaper.

It's just that I have been delayed by Jia Xu's matter recently.

"In that case, let's go, Prime Minister."

Xi Yu nodded, and then asked people to prepare two horses.

The two of them had to hurry forward.

On this day, Wen Liang also rode a horse and prepared to go to Youzhou.

He's been riding since last night.

He has been running wildly for a long time, and it is not far from Youzhou this morning.

By noon, he saw a village with beautiful mountains and rivers and a small restaurant.

He smelled the special aroma of the wine here, and immediately became a little greedy.

He has a special love of drinking. He realized that he hadn't drunk anything at all yesterday.

There was an old man who was wiping the table, and when he saw him coming, he smiled.

"Officer, are you here for a drink?"

He nodded and quickly sat down.

The old man brought him a large bowl and wine. Then I introduced the dishes I ate here.

He ordered a few dishes and ate them.

I found that the wine here is really delicious.

I really didn't expect that such a country would have such a fine wine.

"Uncle, your wine here is really good."

"That's natural, I have a lot of good wine here."

After a while, Wen Liang gradually became intoxicated with alcohol, and his eyes began to become foggy.

Seeing this, the old man frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

He whispered, "Brother, you should pay the money first."

Although Wenliang was a little dizzy, he still did it.

After a while, Xi Yu and Su Yu also happened to pass by.

They looked at the bustling tavern and decided to sit down and have a drink together.

After a few sips, the two couldn't help but smile, looked at each other, and said in unison, "This wine is really good."

At this time, Wen Liang's body was already shaking, and he got up with difficulty, ready to go to the toilet.

However, due to unsteady walking, he accidentally stepped on Xi Yu's foot.

Wen Liang blamed loudly instead.

"You man, why do you put your feet here?" Xi Yu looked innocent and looked at him helplessly.

Su Yu couldn't look at it, and angrily accused, "You are quite unreasonable, obviously you accidentally stepped on someone's house."

Wen Liang heard Su Yu's accusation, and scolded even more sharply, and his voice was particularly harsh in the noisy tavern.

At this time, the old man hurried

He came to him and persuaded him, "Don't quarrel, it's just a trivial matter, so why be so angry. Especially this son, don't worry about a drunk." He looked at Su Yu as he spoke.

When Wen Liang heard this, he was immediately unhappy, his eyes widened angrily, and he pointed at the old man and scolded, "You old man, how dare you call me a drunk!"

Seeing this, the old man shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Su Yu was unconvinced, and said to Xi Yu: "Prime Minister, please announce your identity, condemn him, and see if he dares to be arrogant!"

Xi Yu smiled slightly and said, "Uncle is right, we can't deal with a drunk man at all."

The old man was taken aback, what?

Prime minister?

Soon, he realized that this must be the identity of a scare.

How could the Prime Minister come to such a small place to drink?

Wenliang soon went to the latrine.

Su Yu felt very angry.

If you can't drink it yourself, why do you drink so much? As a result, there was a disturbance.

Fortunately, they have a good temper, and if it was someone else, they would have beaten this person to death long ago.

After a while, Wen Liang staggered back and continued to take the wine glass and pour it into his mouth.

The old man looked at him and couldn't help but persuade again, "Brother, don't drink it, it's not good for your body to drink like this."

When Wen Liang heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and scolded the old man: "I have obviously already paid, what do you old man do with so many idle things!"

At this time, Su Yu spoke, and he said to the old man, "Old man, didn't you just say don't worry about drunkards? Why did you think about it yourself?"

Seeing this, the old man had no choice but to sigh helplessly and silently retreat to the side.

Wen Liang finally got drunk and fell asleep on the table.

Xi Yu and Su Yu looked at him, shook their heads, and got up and left the tavern after a while.

They walked through the bustling streets and along the winding paths to the peaceful village of Higashiyama.

Walking into the village, they asked a villager.

"Excuse me, is there an old man surnamed Sun here who can rub pictures?"

The villager smiled and replied, "Yes, in that small house on the west side of the village."

The villagers enthusiastically gave them directions.

Following the path pointed out by the villagers, Xi Yu and the two came to Old Man Sun's house.

It is a quaint compound surrounded by lush trees.

Xi Yu knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened, and an old man in good spirits appeared in front of them.

Xi Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, hello, we are here to visit you."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to Old Man Sun, "This is a small gift, I hope you like it."

However, Old Man Sun seemed very unwelcome.

He looked at them indifferently and said in a stiff tone, "Take your gifts back, I don't like to be disturbed by strangers, and I don't want you to come in."

Xi Yu didn't want to give up like this.

He said sincerely, "Uncle, we have no ill intentions, we just want to ask you some knowledge about rubbing."

However, Old Man Sun was unmoved.

He turned and walked into the house, and immediately after that, a large fierce dog was released.

Old man Sun stood at the door, looked at them indifferently, and said, "If you don't leave and are bitten by dogs, don't blame me, I'm not responsible!"

In desperation, Xi Yu and the two had to leave first with regrets.

Su Yu looked angry and complained, "Today is really unlucky! When did you receive such a breath? Prime Minister, you have a noble status, but when you go to the countryside, you run into walls everywhere."

Xi Yu smiled slightly and said calmly, "This is normal, don't take it to heart. Everyone's lifestyle is different." His tone was calm and firm.

Su Yu asked helplessly, "Then are we going to leave here next?"

Xi Yu shook his head and replied decisively, "I won't give up, definitely

We have to let Old Man Sun see us."

Su Yu looked at Xi Yu with confusion and asked puzzledly, "Prime Minister, people don't want to see us anymore, why do you insist on staying?" How can we meet him? Do you want to show up your identity with a token?"

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, and replied in a firm tone, "That's the lowest method, I have to come up with a better way."

His eyes sparkled with thought.

Su Yu sighed helplessly and said, "Then what should we do?"

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, and then said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."

Xi Yu thought to himself.

He felt that it was impossible for a person to be angry with outsiders for no reason, and there must be a reason for that.

So, he decided to ask the villagers about the situation.

They came to the place where several old men were playing chess, trying to get some information from them.

At first, several old men were not willing to speak, and they were a little wary of the unfamiliar Xi Yu and Su Yu.

Seeing this, Xi Yu said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are not bad people, we just want to know some information."

After some effort, an old man finally spoke the truth.

He said slowly, "That old man Sun, when he was young, his wife Hongxing went out of the wall. Since then, his temperament has changed dramatically, and he has been like this all his life, with a particularly bad temper and no desire to come into contact with others."

At this time, the sunlight is shining right on the chessboard, and the light and shadow are intertwined.

After listening to Xi Yu, the doubts in his heart finally found the crux of the problem.

Xi Yu thanked the old man, and then left with Su Yu.

As Su Yu walked, he asked in wonder, "Prime Minister, even if we find out the reason for his drastic change in temperament, what can we do?"

He thought to himself in his heart, this reason didn't seem to be of much help to see Old Man Sun, what could the prime minister do?

Xi Yu took a firm step and replied confidently, "Don't worry, I naturally have a way."

He thought to himself that Old Man Sun's past made him wary of strangers, but it also meant that there was a soft place in his heart.

As long as you find that breakthrough, you can impress him.

You have to find a way to get him to let down his guard and see him.

Wen Liang kept lying on the table, his eyes closed, and finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

The old man looked at him quietly, then gently took a thick piece of clothing and carefully draped it over Wenliang's body.

A few hours passed, the sun gradually slanted westward, and Wen Liang woke up slowly.

Seeing this, the old man whispered, "Do you remember when you got drunk and offended others?"

Wen Liang looked dazed.

He didn't remember at all.

The old man explained the specific process.

Wen Liang frowned and said, "How could I possibly do such a thing?"

His heart was filled with chagrin and uneasiness.

Wen Liang kept rubbing his hands together, his face full of guilt.

He felt that his conscience had been condemned, and he sincerely wanted to apologize to the person who had been offended.

The old man comforted, "They are all people who meet in Pingshui, and they have already gone away. In the future, you should pay attention to drink less."

Wen Liang looked at the old man gratefully, nodded and agreed, "Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely know it in the future."

Xi Yu and Su Yu walked leisurely on the lively street.

After a while, they came to Old Man Sun's residence.

The door was open again, and the dog had been placed on a leash in the yard.

Xi Yu and Su Yu looked at each other and smiled, knowing in their hearts that this was Old Man Sun's defense against them.

At this time, the dog, as if sensing their arrival, bit frantically, and the bark echoed in the yard.

After a while, Old Man Sun walked out of the house.

see

When it was Xi Yu and Su Yu again, his face immediately sank.

He accused, "Why don't you two give up, it's really a dead face!"

At this time, the sunlight shone obliquely in the courtyard, stretching the figure of Old Man Sun.

Xi Yu hurriedly explained, "Uncle, don't get me wrong, we just want to chat with you."

Su Yu also chimed in, "Yes, uncle, we don't mean anything else."

"Fuck off, get out of here."

Xi Yu looked at Old Man Sun and said sincerely, "I already know the knot in your heart, old man. Is it really worth it to be unhappy for so many years for a woman? This is not a trap for others. You deserve to live well."

Old man Sun looked at Xi Yu suspiciously, frowning.

Xi Yu was calm and composed, and continued in the language of some psychologists in his previous life: "The past is in the past, and you can't be immersed in pain all the time. There are so many wonderful things in life waiting to be discovered."

Old man Sun listened to Xi Yu's words, his eyes gradually softened, obviously moved by his words.

After a moment of silence, Old Man Sun finally spoke, "Come in."

He turned and walked towards the house.

Su Yu looked at Xi Yu in surprise on the side, and secretly sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect the prime minister to be so powerful, and he persuaded Old Man Sun in just a few words."

Of course, Old Man Sun already understood that Xi Yu and the two must have listened to what the villagers said about him.

He stared into the distance, his eyes flickering, and his heart was full of thoughts.

However, Xi Yu's words of consolation were like a fresh wind, which made him feel refreshed.

Old Man Sun took a deep breath and said slowly, "I don't want to talk about this matter anymore. Or what's the purpose of the two of you?"

Seeing this, Xi Yu carefully took out the piece of jade from his arms.

The old man shook his head, signaling that he didn't have to do this, just speak.

Xi Yu said softly, "We're about to start printing, so we need someone who knows how to rub films. I hope you can agree to help, uncle, and we will give you a lot of reward."

Old Man Sun frowned and asked curiously, "Printing? What's that?"

Xi Yu smiled slightly, and patiently explained the process of printing.

Old man Sun listened very carefully, and gradually had some eyebrows in his heart.

It dawned on him that this was a completely new way of presenting words.

Immediately afterward, he asked, puzzled, "Then what is the purpose of this newspaper you are talking about?"

As he spoke, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Xi Yu took a deep breath and replied calmly, "Newspapers can convey information and let more people know about various things."

Old man Sun nodded, as if thinking about something.

At this time, Old Man Sun suddenly looked at Xi Yu and asked, "Then what is your identity? Why do you know so much about these?" There was a bit of wariness in his eyes.

Xi Yu's heart tightened, he knew that he had to make Old Man Sun believe in himself.

He straightened up and said sincerely, "Uncle, I hope to be able to bring more convenience and information to people through printing and newspapers."

Then, Xi Yu took out his token.

Only then did Old Man Sun know that the person in front of him turned out to be the prime minister.

He was shocked, and immediately knelt down and apologized to Xi Yu.

"Prime Minister, the little old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, he has offended a lot before, and I ask you to have a lot of them, forgive the little old man." Old man Sun said in a panic.

Xi Yu hurriedly picked up Old Man Sun and said gently, "Uncle, you don't have to be like this, please get up quickly. I didn't take it to heart. It's just that I wonder if the old man is willing to do it with me?"

Old man Sun was moved.

He said firmly, "Prime Minister, the little old man is willing. But first, I'd like to show you what I'm capable of."

As he spoke, he led Xi Yu and Su Yu together

Head to the mountains at the entrance of their village to show off their rubbing techniques.

Xi Yu was full of expectations for Old Man Sun's skills, and he whispered to Su Yu, "It seems that this old man is a person with real skills, let's go and see how his rubbing skills are."

Su Yu nodded, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

In the end, Su Yu and Xi Yu saw Old Man Sun's true skills.

Old man Sun completed a rubbing work in a short time.

When the three of them reappeared in the village, many people noticed that Old Man Sun actually had a smile on his face. They were very strange and exchanged their ears.

"Isn't this old grandson usually quite withdrawn, why is he so happy with a stranger today?"

"yes, it's really the sun coming out in the west."

Old man Sun heard the discussion of the people around him, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

He thought to himself, "For so many years, I've been living alone. Today, I've finally found something that makes me happy."

Xi Yu looked at Old Man Sun's smile and felt very relieved in his heart.

He whispered to Su Yu, "It seems that our decision is correct, Uncle Sun, he actually longs for someone to accompany him."

Su Yu nodded, smiled and said, "Yes, I hope he can always be happy like this in the future."

Xi Yu smiled and said to Su Yu and Old Man Sun, "Su Yu, you and Uncle Sun can ride a horse together. Uncle Sun, you go back and pack up, and we'll leave later."

Old man Sun nodded, a hint of gratitude on his face. He whispered, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your arrangement."

After a while, Old Man Sun packed up his clothes.

Then, Su Yu helped Old Man Sun get on the horse, and he also turned over on the horse and sat behind him.

Xi Yu looked at them, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. (End of chapter)
