Chapter 44: The Collection of Books and Books
The imperial examination of the Great Yan Dynasty stipulates that an examination will be held every three years, and the procedures of the examination are the courtyard examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, of which the courtyard examination room is located in the county, and Xiaomiao Town is just a small town, and there are very few people who read every day, so the business of this study is dismal can be imagined. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Tong's appearance doesn't look like a scholar at all, he is still a scholar who has failed for several years, but more like a butcher who kills pigs, his dignified seven-foot body is stronger than that of ordinary scholars, and several nearby counties are also some talents, just because of his ugly appearance, so he is brushed off every exam. How could the arrogant Wang Tong stand it, and in a fit of anger, he swore that he would never participate in the imperial examination again in this life, and returned to Xiaomiao Town to open a small study.
The scholar rebellion failed for ten years, and there was no shrewdness of a businessman in business, Wang Tong, who guarded the basic broken calligraphy and painting, saw that the business was in a mess, and the imperial examination was even more hopeless, and he was disheartened and ready to leave the store and return to the countryside. But he hadn't been asked for months, and he was in a hurry.
"Knock knock......" Startled by the knock on the wooden door, Wang Tong said suspiciously: "Who?"
"Is the boss there?" a pleasant voice sounded, and then a fair-skinned and beautiful girl walked in from outside the door, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, looking for the boss left and right.
Wang Tong kept chanting in his heart: "Don't ignore ...... if you are incivil" After a while, he came back to his senses and said aloud: "Xiaosheng is the owner of this study, I don't know the girl?" He was a little curious, could it be that the girl in front of him came to buy books?
As if hit by Wang Tong's words, Su Ling glanced Wang Tong up and down with her eyes for a long time with some impoliteness, until Wang Tong's face turned red with shame, and then asked uncertainly: "Are you really the boss?"
Wang Tong knew that his appearance was too deceptive, but who could blame him. Sometimes he seems to have ruined his face, but thinking about his parents who have suffered from his body, he dispelled this thought, nodded his head in confirmation at the moment and said, "That's right, I am." “
Su Ling looked around, walking around the store from time to time, and saw that the small shop in front of her was less than thirty square meters, with a square and square pattern, a few calligraphy and paintings were simply painted on the wall, and a few inkstones were placed on the wooden shelves in the middle of the room. Immediately said to the following Wang Daodao: "I heard that you want to shop the noodles?"
Wang Tong, who was a little listless, suddenly cheered up when he heard this, originally he thought that this was a master who came to buy books, but he didn't expect it to be the owner who came to solve his urgent needs, he was a little at a loss, and he twisted his fingers behind his back and said, "Yes, yes." I want to go out and go back to the countryside. “
Su Ling asked without moving: "It's a good thing to go back to the countryside." How much does it cost to prepare the plate?"
"Three hundred taels of silver!"
I don't know which philosopher said that women are born to be masters of negotiation, and they have a talent for bargaining that shocks men, and the final transaction price is only two hundred and forty taels of silver, and the whole room of calligraphy and paintings, Wang Tong only took away a few decent subsets of scriptures and histories, and the others could only be handed over to Su Ling with a wry smile. Receiving the silver ticket handed over by Su Ling, Wang Tong sighed and reminisced about the room for a long time, but Su Ling did not urge, as if he understood his intentions. In the end, I put on a simple burden and left without looking back.
......
In the afternoon, Su Ling, who returned home early, cooked a meal, and watched Fan Yan walk in from the door, looking at his face, I was afraid that it was not smooth. didn't mention the study immediately, just quietly put a bowl of rice in front of Fan Yan, and didn't eat the rice bowl indifferently, Su Ling had to knock on the table with chopsticks, and woke up Fan Yan and said: "I ordered a study today!"
"Study?" Fan Yan put down Fan Yan in his hand and said suspiciously: "What are we doing with that study? “
Motioning for Fan Yan to pick up a bowl to eat, and giving Fan Yan a chopstick dish, Su Ling smiled mysteriously and asked, "Where are the things that are hidden the least easy to be discovered?"
"Of course, it's a place that no one knows, can it be a place that everyone can know?" Fan Yan replied without hesitation to Su Ling's question.
"Yes, but it's too general. If you really hide something and don't want to be discovered by others, then the best way is to hide in the trees and forests, and hide in the water and lakes......" Su Ling chattered there a little incomprehensibly.
"What kind of mess, what does this have to do with your study?" Fan Yan, who didn't understand at all, asked a little confused.
Regarding Fan Yan's sluggishness, Su Ling didn't want to express any opinions, and immediately whispered: "Have you forgotten the book we got?"
"You mean nine ......," Fan Yan said with some excitement.
"Shhhhh
Fan Yan, who looked excited, immediately stood up and kept pacing underground, Su Ling didn't stop his behavior, until Su Ling was about to finish eating the rice in the bowl, Fan Yan sat down with a smile and said: "It's still Ling'er, you can think of this method, it's really my female Zhuge !"
Not to mention that Fan Yan and his wife whispered there, not far from the same town, in the open space in the backyard of Fenglinwan, Liu Mu sat on the stone bench under the pear tree, looked at the stone that was practicing there with sweat, and said loudly: "The time, strength, and speed of each slash must be calculated accurately before the shot, no matter what changes the other party makes, you don't have to care, you just need to chop, as long as it reaches the extreme, you can break the space distance, and when the other party's consciousness is still in the space of the last moment, you have already killed it." As if seeing the doubts of the stone, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, and Liu Mu let out a low shout: "Look at it!" Seeing that it didn't make any movement, he slashed at the contemplative stone with his palm.
"I ...... Am I dead?" The stone murmured a little dazedly, Liu Mu's simple knife just now exhausted all the changes in the knife technique, as if the soul was frozen, the stone couldn't give birth to any resistance, at this moment he seemed to see the scythe of death, lightly slashed his neck, he didn't have time to react.
Liu Mu, who had been sitting on the stone bench since the beginning, asked out loud as if he had never moved, "Do you understand?"
The sword is dead, but the man is alive. Although he was almost frightened by Liu Mu's knife, the stone naturally had a deeper understanding of Liu Mu's knife technique, and he said after a while: "The knife is a knife, the person is a person, the spirit is there, and there is a pain in the skin before the knife, so terrible knife technique." “
"The knife in my hand is nothing but an extension of the arm, an entity manifested by the spiritual power in my heart, and if I want to achieve something in my heart, to what extent I want to destroy things, then the knife can do it for you. This is the highest artistic conception of the gods and ghosts, and you are still far away. Liu Mu said indifferently.
The stone memorized every word Liu Mu said in detail, although his current realm is still low, but one day he will reach the height where the young master is, cut off all the rivers and lakes, and the head will fall to the ground, this day should not be far away.
