Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 174 Finally getting to the point
study?Mentioning this gave Li Yuanying a headache.Originally, he was just curious about what the ancient library looked like, and wanted to increase his knowledge. Maybe he could also see pre-Qin or even earlier literature records in the Tang Dynasty.

But when this matter was reported to the Qinghe Cui family, it was treated as solemnly as a bigger matter than marriage. When it was heard by the emperor, it was immediately assigned as a political task, so when it really arrived, Li Yuanying didn't even think about how to speak .

Fortunately, Li Yuanying's old father-in-law did not neglect, and took the initiative to bring up the matter of reading the next day.

"I heard from Mingyue that my son-in-law wants to borrow books? I have nothing to do today, why don't I take you to see it now?"

Li Yuanying was half surprised and half hesitant, pondered for a moment and asked, "I brought a few juniors here to learn more, I wonder if my father-in-law will allow some of the children to take this opportunity to read?"

"No problem. Books are passed down for people to read. The princes will be dragons and phoenixes in the future. If they are eager to learn, it is of course a good thing." Cui Junchuo's heart is like a mirror, but he doesn't point it out.

This made Li Yuanying puzzled, and asked in surprise without noticing for a moment: "So casual? Could it be hasty?"

Cui Junchuo patted his son-in-law with a chuckle and said: "At this moment, it's just you and my son-in-law, Mingyue told me your instructions in detail, the Cui family's collection of books is precious, but you can't help borrowing them, you are the son-in-law of the Cui family , can come in and out at will and even transcribe. The princes have special identities, and the Cui family will not be stingy in the face of your Majesty and you.

Of course, I can only agree to so much, the rest is not something that can be agreed by personal friends, you have to be clear about this, it is best not to make it difficult for me. "

Li Yuanying nodded gratefully. It can be seen that the old man is still sincere to him. The secret library of the ancient big family is a core secret. The long-term prosperity of the millennium family is inseparable from these cultural inheritance. If you get the inheritance, unless you sign a contract of sale or label it as a loyal family member, do you want to glance at it for nothing?High probability impossible.

When I came to Cui's house, I didn't pick up my daughter-in-law and left. I had to stay for a while. Li Yuanying was not in a hurry, so I went to visit and visit first, so I called Li Yuanba and a few children. Under the leadership of Cui Junchuo, a group of people saw Arrived at Qinghe Cui's secret library.

Pushing open the simple and old carved gate, what comes to the face is not the fragrance of ink or books, but a dry and slightly woody smell. Li Yuanying can't help frowning, this is a library, how can it be such an environment?

"There is no one here to maintain it? Why is there a dilapidated atmosphere?"

Cui Junchuo shook his head slightly and said: "No, I often arrange for the children of the Cui family to take care of them carefully. But the wisdom of the sages is written on the bamboo slips, many of which are even handed down from the pre-Qin period, and it will inevitably decay over time. , Every clansman borrows books, and they are carefully told over and over again that they must be borrowed and returned as they are, otherwise they will be severely punished. Today, the old man wants to tell you all, the rules are the same, as a scholar, you must love books and protect them, and be a wise sage In awe."

Just as he was talking, there was a soft hula, and everyone looked back nervously. It turned out that Xiao Doudou reached out and picked up a bamboo slip beside him, looking through it curiously.

Just when Li Yuanying was about to educate the children, Xiao Doudou said, "Grandpa, is this your family's collection of books? Why is it different from my family's? My family's books are all white pages, slippery to the touch. , Why are there all bundles of bamboo chips here? Also, why don’t we understand all the characters inside? Did my grandfather teach it wrong?”

Poof... Li Yuanying couldn't help laughing, walked over to take the bamboo slips in her daughter's hand, looked at them briefly and said: "This is the ancient history book "Chunqiu Zuoshi Biography". It's normal that you don't recognize it, after all, your grandfather only handed you regular script and official script."

Cui Junchuo nodded appreciatively: "After the Han Dynasty, the official script became popular, and gradually various fonts also showed the attitude of a hundred schools of thought contending. Now the general official script and regular script are parallel in the world, and many people no longer recognize the pre-Qin big seal script and small seal script. Goro, you can see it at a glance and read it through." No mistake, really knowledgeable.

Doudou, the book you are holding was written by the ancients. At that time, there was no paper, so the world used bamboo slips or cloth to record words, and bamboo slips were the most common.Even now, the price of paper is very high, not every family can afford it, and bamboo slips are still used by people. "

Li Yuanying asked curiously: "Although paper is precious, the Qinghe Cui family should have the ability to copy the stored books onto paper, so that it is convenient to learn and use. Compared with bamboo slips, good paper books should be more durable."

Cui Junchuo shook his head and said: "No, outsiders only see the great achievements of Cui's family, but they don't know that compiling classics is a huge project. Later generations are prone to mistakes in copying, and proofreading is very exhausting. When it comes to paper, although it is from the Han Dynasty After Cai Lun improved papermaking, there are indeed some good paper handed down from generation to generation that can be used, but the output is too low and the cost is too high, if they copy the books of this secret house, the Cui family will not be able to spend so much money."

"Hey, it's a pity that such an important and big project has been stranded because of it... Tsk tsk!" Li Yuanying made a meaningful comment, then stopped talking, and walked inside first.

As Cui Junchuo walked, he introduced the layout of the Bibliotheque to everyone, and when he encountered some classic books, he could tell the stories about the books in detail, as if he was a good teacher.

As he was walking, Xiao Doudou suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I figured it out, haha, I finally understand."

What do you understand, surprised?

"Grandpa, grandpa, did ancient people write on these bamboo slips? If you want to write a book or a volume, don't you need a lot of these bamboo slips?" Xiao Doudou made a lot of gestures.

Cui Junchuo stroked his beard and nodded, it is true, but is there any problem?

Xiao Doudou giggled and said: "I finally know, if all the books that grandpa said were rich and rich, if they were all filled with this kind of books, then it wouldn't be much. I thought he had read a lot of books. Hmph, with the addition of comic books, I would After reading fifteen books, he must have read more books than him, and if he dares to brag to me in the future, I will pull a cart full of books like this for him to read."

What the hell?Everyone was caught off guard, and was really defeated by this kind of magical turning point. Is this why they were so surprised?Li Yuanying really wanted to tell her daughter that your comic strips are no match for books written down word by word, but looking at her daughter and imagining the scenes of grandpa and grandson fighting, it should be very interesting.

Cui Junchuo was very comforted, his granddaughter was intelligent, and it was a good thing to draw inferences about other cases from one instance, so Fu Xu said: "The five chariots of learning and wealth come from "Zhuangzi", just to describe a person who reads a lot of knowledge. There are not so many ancient books, so he can read five books." The book of cars is already remarkable, and learning rich five cars does not necessarily mean that there are only five cars, most of them are false references, meaning many cars."

Li Yuanying also echoed: "There are many similar idioms. For example, there are too many books in the house, which can exhaust the pulling cattle when carrying them..."

Um?Before he finished speaking, Cui Junchuo who was next to him said in surprise, "Oh? It's a lot of stuff? Yes, this sentence is really appropriate. I don't know where it came from?"
