Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Fortunately, Lao Li didn't arrange other work for Su Mu in the morning, so it was rare for him to be free, so Su Mu simply completed the remaining 1 words of Chapter [-].

This writing, the writing is smooth, and the status is also out.

While the spirit is still very high, and "Journey to the West" Chapter 1 has just written that Sun Wukong has just worshiped under Bodhi's ancestor, the story has not become exciting at this time, so I submit the manuscript like this, fearing that it will not attract people.So, he simply wrote another two thousand words, talking about the Bodhi Patriarch sitting on the altar, calling all the immortals, giving a lecture, and asking the monkey what he wanted to learn.

After talking for a long time, Wukong didn't like it.

Then, the patriarch jumped down from the high platform with a sound of "duh", and with a ruler in his hand, he designated Wukong and said, "You hozen, if you don't learn this way and don't learn that way, what do you do?" He stepped forward and hit Wukong on the head three times , with his hands behind his back, walked inside, closed the middle door, and left the crowd behind.

……

Flicking his sore wrist, Su Mu was shocked to find that he had written five or six thousand words in one morning, a speed that could only be described by a typewriter.

As soon as I finished writing, it was time for lunch.

After dinner, the school starts.

The dozen or so students in the school are of different ages and degrees.Such as Su Mu, the real level can already take the imperial examination, but Hu Jinxue and a few brats can't even recognize thousands of Chinese characters.

Therefore, Shaotai's academic arrangements are also different.

The morning class is mainly for students who have just started, focusing on literacy and reciting.

In the afternoon, he explained the art of economics and the writing of stereotyped essays, facing "senior" students like Su Mu.

Su Mu's article yesterday has been corrected by Shao Tai, with dots circled on it and many annotations attached.It could be seen that Shao Tai cared about this student very much, and asked Su Mu to hand in another question before leaving school.

There was no other way, I could only drink strong tea and deal with it carefully.

Poor Su Mu stayed up all night, like an eagle, plus he had a cold, and read all afternoon, his mind was not free for a moment, and he felt like the world was spinning.

"I have to go to work, I have to write a book, and I have to go to class. It's so tiring!"

After school, Su Mu came to Shuyuan Street.

The last time I came to the county government to sign up for the county examination, I didn't pay attention to it. Today I saw this place is good. There are bookstores, paper shops, and teahouses on both sides of the street. It seems that this place is the cultural center of Qingyuan County.

But after looking up for a long time, he didn't find the sign of Lin's Bookstore.

In desperation, I had to ask a passerby to ask.

The passer-by pointed to a very elegant bookstore next to it: "Isn't this what it is?"

Su Mu saw that there was a big plaque hanging on the door of the bookkeeper, with the words "Wind into the Pine" written on it, and then he realized that this bookstore was called Feng Rusong.It's just that the owner's surname is Lin, and everyone calls it Lin's Bookstore.

The inside is very spacious, and there are two rows of surprisingly large bookshelves, which completely occupy two walls.

However, there is a large table and a small table in the center of the room.

The boss is a white, fat middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing a blue shirt, sitting in front of the table, with a book spread out on the table, reading with great interest.

While watching, there was a sound of tsk tsk in his mouth, and then he patted his thigh lightly: "Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Boss Lin, I am a student of Mr. Shao." Su Mu stepped forward and was about to explain his purpose.

Boss Lin waved his hand: "Don't talk, wait until I finish this section."

Su Mu was helpless, curious in his heart, could it be that Boss Lin, like Lao Li, also read pornographic novels into the alley.I took a sneak peek and found out that he was reading "The Analects of Confucius".

This Boss Lin is an elegant person, not like a philistine.

Scholars hate being disturbed by others when they are reading. Su Mu also understands this, and he stopped talking nonsense, and went to the front of the bookshelf to look at the books for sale on it.

In general, the book inside is divided into two parts.One part is the Four Books and Five Classics, anthology of current literature, similar to the review materials of later generations, specially prepared for scholars, and the other part is Romance, story books and the like.

Two kinds of books are placed on two bookshelves respectively.

Su Mu was not interested in things like Four Books and Five Classics, so he set his sights on novels, and read them for a long time. Except for "Drunk Awakening Stone" and a few other books, he had never seen other books before.

In his previous life, he studied the novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties, so he picked up a few books at random. After reading it, he found that the writing was really bad, the stories were old-fashioned, and the writing didn't seem to be very good.It's just that the son is in trouble, and the beautiful woman knows the pearl with her eyes, and elopes with her family property, and helps the minister to be nominated for the gold list. You can know the end after reading the beginning.

It seems that patterned writing is inevitable in any era.However, excellent works such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have only been born on the basis of a large number of garbage books.

There are still a few customers in the store. From the looks of it, there are scholars.There are also traffickers and pawns.

Reading, as the most mainstream form of leisure and entertainment for the citizens of the Ming Dynasty, was still very popular.

Boss Lin was born as a scholar, and he is quite elegant, and it is quite interesting to start a business.I was too lazy to bargain with others, so I just pasted a note on the bookshelf, indicating the price.

If you want to buy a book, after you have selected it, put your money into the porcelain vase on the big case.

Hearing the sound of Ding Dong continuously pouring copper coins into the vase, Su Mu was greatly surprised: There were also vending machines in the Ming Dynasty, this Boss Lin is really ahead of his time, and he is not afraid of someone stealing books and losing everything?

Sure enough, Su Mu soon discovered that a poor scholar was quietly stuffing a copy of "Mao Shi" into his arms, and walked towards the door with a pale face.

"The thief... is so rampant!" Su Mu opened his mouth wide in shock, and when he came back to his senses, the man had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that the poor scholar got his hands on it, another shopper who came to buy books took a look at Boss Lin, followed the example of this poor scholar, and quickly hid a Fengyue book in his sleeve.

""Nie Hai Kuang Hua", sixty essays, thanks for your patronage." Boss Lin suddenly raised his head, stared at the man, and snorted: "My family's books can't be taken for nothing."

The person who stole the book turned pale with embarrassment, and pointed to the door; "Didn't that person steal it just now?"

Boss Lin: "A scholar who steals a book is not called stealing. You take this book for fun, and you have to pay for it."

Su Mu laughed "hehe", this Boss Lin is quite interesting.

After dismissing the book thief, Boss Lin looked Su Mu up and down.

Although the face of the young man in front of him was a bit pale, he stood there with a sense of elegance, especially those eyes, which were crystal clear and deep, and extremely agile, and he couldn't help liking him, saying: "This young master is Mr. To buy books?"

"I've met the old man." Su Mu cupped his hands: "I just wrote something, and I want you to read it."

"Oh, it turns out it's selling Shiwen, come and let me have a look." Boss Lin said with joy on his face, "Mr. Shao is the number one celebrity in my Baoding Mansion, and I couldn't ask for his papers before." !"

"Shiwen, can stereotyped essays be sold?" Su Mu was puzzled, and said, "It's not the work of my mentor, but a brat's show of shame."

"Why can't it be sold? If you come across a good article, it would be a good thing to collect and print the book. If you can get Mr. Shao's recommendation, it should be well written." The imperial examination was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, and scholars would buy several new books with stereotyped essays The model essays are selected as reference materials. Generally speaking, the papers of the candidates on the list are the best.But the children's examination is held twice every three years, and the township examination is held every three years. The output is limited. Boss Lin also collects some excellent articles for backup.

"But it's not stereotyped essays." Su Mu shook his head, took out the manuscript from his pocket, and put it on the table: "This is the script I wrote. I've just started, and I want to change some writing brushes. The old man will take a look first." , if available, I will continue to write."

"The script..." Boss Lin pondered for a moment, then pushed the manuscript over: "No."
