Chapter 204: Luo Guanzhong and "Water Margin"
Wei Guan tried his best to keep Zhu Su, and wanted to give Zhu Su the mansion he lived in. Zhu Su tried his best to refuse, if he really occupied the government without scruples, even if it was let by the prefect, after returning to Beijing, Lao Zhu would definitely smash his pair of buttocks.
And the Suzhou Mansion was in disrepair, to be honest, Zhu Su didn't think much of it, so he refused because he had already made arrangements.
turned his head and lived in the "Shen Garden", a garden that the Shen family had already cleaned up.
As early as the news that Zhu Su would go to Suzhou, Shen Rong and Shen Wang returned to Suzhou first, one is that the two of them have lived in Yingtian for a long time and inevitably miss Suzhou, and the other is that Suzhou's glass business is sluggish, although Zhu Su doesn't matter, the two brothers are eager to let Zhu Su think of a way, and they can obey Zhu Su's orders at any time.
So he left Shen Sen to take care of the business in Beijing, and his two brothers returned to Shen Yuan to wait for Zhu Su.
Zhu Su, Chang Mao, Yao Guangxiao and his entourage entered Shen Yuan under the arrangement of the Shen family, and had just met Shen Rong and Shen Wang's brothers, and before they could say a few words, they heard someone outside: "Your Highness, that Mr. Luo asked to see him at the gatehouse, and he said that he wanted to face His Highness in the face of something important." ”
"Luo Guanzhong?" Zhu Su was stunned, he had just entered Shen Yuan, and Luo Guanzhong couldn't wait to see him, could it be that there was something inconvenient to say during the banquet just now, and he wanted to talk to him privately?
"Your Highness has a serious matter, and my two brothers will take their leave!" Shen Rong retreated. After all, they are just businessmen, and they are never qualified to intervene in the serious affairs of the DPRK and China.
Luo Guanzhong was invited into the private room of the study, Zhu Su raised his hand to exempt Luo Guanzhong, and said with a kind face: "Mr. Luo is in a hurry to visit, I don't know what to see?" ”
"Moxue does have a thing, I want to be cheeky and beg His Highness to make a move...... Luo Guanzhong looked entangled and embarrassed, hugged the thick package in his hand for a while, bit his lip again, and then said to Zhu Su.
"There is also a book in the hands of the last school, which is from the hand of the ancestor Shi Nai'an. Compared with the first twelve volumes of the Three Kingdoms written by Zhixue, it is more than ten times stronger. ”
"When the master goes, he only thinks about whether this book can be passed on to the world. The last book wants to dissipate all the surplus money, and print this book and periodical into a book......"
"But I'm really shy in my pocket, and this book is a little ...... Some...... It is a big rebellion, and no one dares to engrave it. ”
"I have no choice but to turn to His Highness for help, I want to say that since His Highness appreciates the twelve volumes of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the study, he must be a person who knows books and loves books......"
"What? Mr. Shi Nai'an, is he already immortal! The book you are talking about is "Water Margin"? Zhu Su was surprised.
"Your Highness knows my teacher? How did you hear about the Water Margin? Luo Guanzhong was also surprised.
"Uh...... I have heard Mr. Shi Nai'an's name before...... It's just that I couldn't meet him, it's a pity......" Zhu Su, who realized that he had leaked his mouth again, had to snort. "The man only said that Mr. Shi Nai'an compiled the stories of the rivers and lakes in the Song Dynasty and compiled them into "The Legend of Jianghu Hawkers", that is, "Water Margin", ......"
But the king was still young at that time, but he forgot where he heard it. I just remember the name of Mr. Shi Nai'an, and the three characters of "Water Margin......"
"I see, it's ......" Fortunately, Luo Guanzhong didn't delve into it, just an old face full of spring and autumn ravines, and I don't know when it was already sobbing. Lao Luo looked up to the sky emotionally and said, "Master, do you hear me......"
"The "Water Margin" you wrote is not unknown. Even a noble person like His Royal Highness King Wu has heard the name of this book......"
"Uh......" Zhu Su was a little awkward, but seeing Luo Guanzhong's true feelings, it was not easy to show a strange look. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Luo Guanzhong to come back to his senses, wipe away the tears on his face and confess to Zhu Su: "The end of the study is not formal, it is rude to His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins." ”
"It doesn't matter. I really look up to Mr. Luo. "Zhu Su's words are extremely sincere." I already know what the gentleman means, please wait......" said and asked the dog to summon the Shen family.
After a while, Shen Wang trotted to the room, and before he had time to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead, he hurriedly bowed down: "Your Highness summoned the villain, I don't know if there is any inconsiderate hospitality?" ”
"You and I are also old acquaintances, and Second Uncle Shen doesn't have to be so honest." Zhu Su said with a smile. Then he asked him: "I don't know if your Shen family has a business like bookstore printing in Suzhou?" ”
"The two businesses of bookstore printing, my Shen family is involved...... Shen Wang is a little strange." Your Highness, is there something that needs my Shen family's help? ”
"Hehe, I found a business for your Shen family." Zhu Su smiled and pointed at Luo Guanzhong: "This is the author of the Three Kingdoms, and his master, Mr. Shi Nai'an, also has an excellent copy in his hands, which is not much better than the Three Kingdoms, but it has not yet been published in the world." ”
"You should know the business opportunities! Your Shen family went to cooperate with him. I only have one request. ”
"It is the profit from this manuscript that needs to be given to this Mr. Luo fifty percent. Don't be greedy for your Shen family. ”
"Ouch! No matter how short-sighted the villain is, he will not be greedy for this money! When Shen Wang heard the words "more than the Three Kingdoms", he was already "showing golden light", and when Zhu Su said "greedy", he even shouted and jumped up to show his heart, and then looked at Luo Guanzhong's eyes with great eagerness, as if this was not a middle-aged man with a ravine, but an incomparably attractive golden doll.
"This ......" Luo Guanzhong was also stunned, he didn't expect that before he could say a few words, Zhu Su directly asked someone to help him print the works of the first master. I couldn't help but say to Zhu Su in disbelief: "Your Highness, don't you read the manuscript first......
"There may be something inappropriate in this manuscript, so ordinary bookstores are afraid to reject ......"
"No need!" Zhu Su waved his hand, the Water Margin was spread, as if no one had seen it.
If you Luo Guanzhong had appeared a few years later, maybe this book would have been copied by me and used to tell stories in the restaurant and attract customers.
It's just a few rebels, and in the end, they were all surrendered by Song Jiang. It is not yet possible to talk about the point of anti-feudal revolution.
Lao Zhu can't find his own fault for this matter. And Lao Zhu himself likes to listen to this kind of story of the rivers and lakes, maybe show it to him, and he himself can't put it down! Zhu Su eliminated all the possible hidden dangers in his heart, but said with righteousness in his mouth: "This king has always admired Mr. Luo's character, how can this king not believe in Mr. Luo's character?" ”
"Let's go to print. If Mr. Shi Nai'an's masterpiece is buried in the world, wouldn't it be a great loss to my Ming literary world? If there is a small remark, this king will bear it! ”
"Temple...... Your Highness! These words, Luo Guanzhong's eyes were full of tears, this famous writer in the history of literature was moved to his knees, and bowed to Zhu Su.
