On September 1, the osmanthus is fragrant, which is beneficial to opening, bathing, and breaking the house, and avoiding the destruction of the wall and marriage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xuanwu Street is a five-storey loft with a vast area and quaint decoration. The door is full of flower baskets left and right, which says that a certain and such congratulate the opening of Xinlou, and at a glance, Wenyuan Palace, Jing'an Palace, Tian Mansion, Wenzhong Mansion...... These names are vivid.
At this time, a steady stream of carriages and horses arrived, and a famous lady walked down, and then was invited into the tea by a beautifully dressed maid.
Occasionally, you can see a few people wearing plum blossom robes with a white background, a hairband fluttering, a folding fan gently shaking, and a boy holding a sword behind him.
More of them were poor scholars who came on foot, mostly in groups of three or five, and then spontaneously lined up at the door.
There was also a large crowd of people watching the excitement around. Dozens of catchers were nervously maintaining order, sweating profusely.
Such a scene, although far from catching up with the Qiongyu Poetry Club, but the whole scene is also very lively.
Without it, today is the first genius of the Great Zhou, the fourth son of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Wendong Sage, Tang San, a bachelor of the North Gate, and the opening day of its industrial Xin Building.
Ten days ago, there was news of the opening of Xinlou in the market, and then there were even people on the street, distributing pictorials and leaflets, which were full of content about Xinlou in easy-to-understand words, even the people in the market could understand the above information at a glance.
For example, everyone knows that Xin Lou is a guild hall that specializes in serving people who read and want to read.
Mainly engaged in all kinds of books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, elegant folding fan, novel Confucian shirts, and other readers' supplies.
Among them, books and pen, ink, paper and inkstones will be sold at a 50% discount in the market, and the price will never be increased. In addition, it provides a place for Confucian scholars and beauties to talk about poetry and essays and hold church meetings. From time to time, I will invite great Confucian scholars to come to give lectures and promote the younger generations. Thirty percent of the profits from Xinlou will be used for charity to help widows and widows. The list goes on and on.
Tang Ze was wearing a plain white robe and greeted everyone who came with a smile. Jiang Xinyao beside her also had a smile on her face, and followed Tang Ze to greet the guests, she already had a wise heart and learned quickly, except for the unnatural at the beginning, she quickly mastered the skills.
There was a gap in the middle, and Jiang Xinyao asked Tang Ze in a low voice: "Childe, is this considered the shopkeeper?" ”
Tang Ze smiled and nodded: "Of course." How difficult do you think it is? You should have learned a lot from Aunt Jiang these days, right?"
"Hmm. Jiang Xinyao nodded, "It's mainly about dealing with people and things." ”
"That's enough. You just need to smile and nod your head, and with a little bit of sincerity and enthusiasm, it's easy to deal with people. Naturally, someone is in charge of other things, and everyone has their own responsibilities. Tang Ze said softly, smiled, and said: "After that, it's very simple, you just need to say hello to some important guests, and you don't need to pay attention to the rest, of course, it depends on your mood." If some ignorant guys make a non-point request, directly refuse, and then give a warning. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he will let the guards break his leg and throw him out, and I will bear the responsibility for what happens. ”
Tang Ze was very domineering.
Jiang Xinyao nodded again.
At this time, an ox cart came to the door, Tang Ze immediately walked down the stairs quickly, took the initiative to open the door, helped Gongsun Gao Yang out inside, and said, "Mr. Gongsun can come, make Xinlou shine." ”
Gongsun Gaoyang laughed and said happily: "You will take out the books collected by the first library to open the Xin Building, which can be described as a good deed for the benefit of readers all over the world." I have you in Da Zhou, fortunately, hard!"
Tang Ze waved his hand: "Mr. Gongsun has an overreputation, and my father and juniors are just doing what they can." Hurry up inside, please, and ask Mr. Gongsun to help cut the ribbon later. He greeted Jiang Xinyao on the side again: "Xinyao, welcome Mr. Gongsun in." ”
After a while, another four-wheeled carriage drove over, and before the car stopped, the door was pushed open from the inside, and then a little Lori in a green dress pounced, Tang Ze hurriedly caught it with both hands, and the little man in his arms laughed "giggled": "Third brother, people want to kill you." Grandpa won't let me come out to play with you!" After speaking, he kissed Tang Ze on the face, then turned his head and glared at Tian Zaishan who was getting out of the car hatefully.
"Hahaha, little friend, the old man is also here to join in the fun. I would also like to thank you for your generous gift, I thank you very much on behalf of Tian Tian. ”
Tian Zaishan smiled gently, and took the initiative to hug his fists as soon as he got out of the car.
Tang Ze knew that he was talking about giving poems, touched Tian Tian's head, and said with a smile: "Tian Tian is well-behaved and cute, just like my sister, she should give her a gift." Tian Lao didn't have to take it to heart. So saying, invite him in and sit down.
Tian Zaishan said: "What others give to Tian Tian are all playthings, only you are willing to give away Haoran righteousness...... Don't say much, if you are free another day, how about the little friend appreciate your face and talk about it, so that the old man can thank you. ”
He said this very calmly, which made people feel sincere. But Tang Ze knew the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty from Zhang Weixian, and knew that Tian Zaishan and King Jing'an were very close, and when he went over, the other party would do something to win over him, no matter whether he responded or not, he would cause a lot of trouble out of thin air, so how could he agree to Tian Zaishan's request!
In the past half a month, there have been many invitations and greetings sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, princes and princes, and wealthy families, some of whom invited Tang Ze to come to the mansion to talk about scriptures and papers, and some invited him to participate in a certain literary meeting and poetry meeting, etc., and more of them were those who took the initiative to visit.
Except for some people who are really hard to refuse, Tang Ze all refused because of the excessive consumption of spirit in the poetry club.
At this time, he came forward to preside over the opening ceremony of Xinlou, and he was in good spirits, but it was not good to use this excuse to refuse people again. When he was trying to find a proper reason to refuse Tian Zaishan, a person not far away smiled and said: "Lao Tian is also here, Tang San Xiaoyou generously gave poems, and he should indeed thank you." Another day, the old man will have a banquet with you. ”
Tang Ze saluted with his fists, smiled and looked at the smiling woman next to him, and said with a smile: "Elder Zhou has arrived." A few poems, just small things, everyone is friends, if you have to politely invite you to eat, it will be boring. ”
Zhou Tai laughed: "It's old and hypocritical, so let's stop it." ”
Tang Ze invited them into the Xin Building, and said to Zhou Ning'er with a smile: "Lord Ning'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your cultivation is diligent." ”
Zhou Ning'er said generously: "Brother Tang and grandpa generally call me Ning'er." If it weren't for Brother Tang's poem, I don't know how many years it would have taken me to understand my mind? As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with a sparkle of something, too thick to dissolve.
Tang Ze's heart jumped, he nodded quickly, staggered his gaze, and said with a smile: "People are almost here, and the time has come, so let's start." Then he waved his hand to the side, signaling the opening ceremony to begin.
In the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, two mighty five-colored lions jumped into the field, dancing with their teeth and claws, rolling and jumping, doing their best to celebrate, attracting endless applause around them and pushing the atmosphere to a climax. Immediately, a maid came up with a ball of red silk with flowers, and the famous houses such as Zhou Tai, Gongsun Gaoyang, Tian Zaishan, and Tang Ze cut the ribbon.
Then Zhou Tai gave a speech, and I saw that he just stopped in the center, without any gesture, and the field was quiet. It's not that he is the king of Wenyuan, it's just that the bearing that has been cultivated for many years makes everyone's hearts broken.
"I was prosperous in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Vientiane was new, the law was strict, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, there were even more saints who came to the world. Zhou Tailang said, "Tang San's little friend opened this Xin Lou, this is a great good act, and it is beneficial to the country and the people." The talent of Tianzhong, in addition to studying at home, is still concerned about the poor people, benefiting the common people, and promoting Confucianism. All the kings should guard against arrogance and rashness, walk the right path of heaven and earth, understand the righteousness of the sage, care for the people, and become a generation of Confucianism, not losing to the sages!"
His words were sincere, and after a few simple words of encouragement, he was silent.
Most of the people below know King Wenyuan's temperament, simple and direct, extremely refreshing, not like those old sour Confucians, as soon as they talk about it, they are not finished. This is also one of the reasons why so many people love Zhou Tai.
Everyone said in unison: "We will follow the teachings of King Wenyuan. ”
In response to the harmony, Zhou Tai walked to the side and motioned for Tang Ze to step forward.
