After learning more about Zhou Fangzhen's private book engraving plan, Yu Rong felt uncertain again.

Although it is an "academic journal" that has not yet appeared in the Ming dynasty, according to the current situation, there are probably only articles written by the two of them at the beginning.

Then the problem is coming.

With the writing style of the two of them, what they wrote...will anyone read it?

Even if it is a privately engraved book, you have to pay attention to profit. If no one buys it after it is published, isn't it purely a waste of money and a waste of time and effort?

Thinking of these practical problems, Yu Rong couldn't help pouring cold water: "Brother Zhou's idea is impeccable, but..." After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Su Wen's private engraving of books costs a lot of money."

I almost asked him if he had any money.

Zhou Fangzhen had a plan in mind: "As for the book funding, I have to thank Da Dong for help."

"Mr. Xie?" Yu Rong asked uncertainly, "Is...Mr. Xie?"

Zhou Fangzhen raised the corners of his mouth: "Exactly, Xie Dadong's kindness is commendable, and he said that he would greatly assist in the private engraving of books."

Yu Rong was silent.

This guy is really...

Speaking of which, Zhou Fangzhen's character is actually quite good, not as sinister as his face makes people feel.

But it's not bad, it's probably because of his unusual background, he obviously looks down on a philistine merchant like Xie Dongguan.

Now, they actually said "Thank you Dadong" one by one... Reality!

I don't know if Yu Rong's strangeness was too obvious, Zhou Fangzhen covered his mouth and coughed uncomfortably, his tone was weak: "Does Little Yu know 'Dong Lin Xi Xie'?"

Yu Rong shook his head.He only knows "Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar"... What's wrong?

"I haven't heard of it either."

Yu Rong: "..."

Realizing that his statement was ambiguous, Zhou Fangzhen quickly explained: "Now I know that the two most famous merchants in Yanhai are 'Donglin Xixie', and Mr. Xie's family is the head of 'Xixie'."

"So Mr. Xie is so powerful?"

Yu Rong was very surprised, recalling all kinds of actions of Xie Dongguan, it was really unbelievable.

In fact, he liked that fat merchant quite a bit, but, compared to the somewhat glamorous Mr. Kuang's family, Xie Dongguan seemed too... petty on the surface.

Not to mention anything else, as a rich man in the local area, it’s fine if he doesn’t have any servants by his side. The means of transportation he uses is an old horse that seems to be dying. Thank you" I don't understand Li Gao's name after hearing this!

Putting aside appearances, Yu Rong felt that Xie Dongguan seemed cunning but kind-hearted, timid and fearful, but at the same time full of righteous courage, his character was beyond words.

Zhou Fangzhen nodded and said, "You can't judge people by their appearances, but I did before."

Hearing this, Yu Rong couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, I felt that even though I encountered all kinds of bad things and extremely disgusting people on this trip, I was able to get to know this high-minded son of the head of the mountain and the fat merchant who did not agree with each other, and his words and deeds... ...is nothing short of a miracle.

"Then it's settled." After Xie Dongguan finished speaking, Zhou Fangzhen shifted the topic back to the matter of private book engraving, "Little Doctor Yu, take your time to think about it. When I return to Xin'an Mansion, I will definitely pay a visit and pick up the manuscript along the way."

Yu Rong was dumbfounded for a while, then sighed secretly, and made up her mind: "I will live up to Brother Zhou's kindness."

Anyway, according to the tasks of the system, he will have to take this step sooner or later, and writing skills can always be practiced slowly.Even Brother Zhou dared to publish a book with such a poor writing style and had the ambition to make a statement, so how could he be intimidated?No matter how bad it is, there is also his elder brother who is talented in literature, so it is okay to ask for help.

After negotiating the engraving of the book, Zhou Fangzhen didn't leave in a hurry, and sat next to him covering his mouth, looking contemplative.

After Yu Rong cleaned up the work in hand, he turned his head to see the other party's appearance, couldn't help laughing, and asked: "Brother Zhou, do you still have doubts?"

Zhou Fangzhen came back to his senses, and said in a hesitant tone, "Since it is a private engraving book, do I have to use an alias?"

Yu Rong was reminded all of a sudden that when publishing an article, it is really embarrassing to use her own name, and using an "alias" is like wearing a vest on the modern Internet, and there is no shame in poorly written articles.

Zhou Fangzhen continued: "My real name is Hong, and my surname is Dongfang.

Yu Rong, who just felt thirsty, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the clear tea. Before he could swallow the water, he suddenly choked.

Zhou Fangzhen asked with concern: "Doctor Xiaoyu is not feeling well? Seeing the cool autumn at first glance, he is prone to cold and evil..."

After coughing several times, Yu Rong finally regained his composure, and hurriedly said, "I just accidentally choked on water," then with a complicated expression, "Brother Zhou is going to take a number..." It was hard to say, "Dongfanghong?"

Zhou Fangzhen immediately diverted his attention and sighed: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

It's really not suitable, it's too "dramatic", isn't it?Yu Rong thought to himself, puzzled: "Why not?"

Zhou Fangzhen explained implicitly: "Red sees the East," he shook his head to himself, "It's not right."

Yu Rong thought for a while.

Red sees the East...referring to the sun?Or, dawn?

Thinking of the name Congri for the children of the Nie family, it seems a bit inappropriate.

In fact, among the folks in the country of Min, naming or using words is not as taboo as it was in the previous dynasty, but you still have to pay attention to individual words.

For example, Dongfanghong has an extraordinary meaning, so it is really not suitable to be an alias.

Yu Rong turned her face away, and couldn't help snickering.

"...and I will take my leave."

Eh?

Why is Brother Zhou leaving all of a sudden?He also wanted to know what alias the other party was going to take?

Yu Rong suppressed the corners of his mouth and looked back, only to realize that the man whose innate skill was elusive and invisible had entered the house at some time.

Zhou Fangzhen and Xie Dongguan have a very similar trait, that is, they both have an inexplicable fear of Nie Xinzhi.

Knowing this, Yu Rong didn't make things difficult for him, and got up to send him off: "Brother Zhou, go slowly."

Zhou Fangzhen cupped his hands: "Doctor Xiao Yu, please stay."

"Why is this person looking for you again?" Nie Xinzhi's tone was very normal.

This man made a mistake again.Yu Rong slandered, and did not hide it deliberately: "He is planning to engrave the book, and he is just asking for my advice."

Nie Xinzhi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Yu Rong thought of the alias again, and couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yu Rong said [-]: "Brother Zhou originally wanted to be nicknamed Dongfanghong."

Nie Xinzhi said bluntly, "It's not right."

Yu Rong was slightly surprised by this man's reaction: "Huh?"

Nie Xinzhi explained: "It violated the official name taboo."

The official name is taboo... Eh, wait a minute.

Yu Rong probed: "Sunrise in the east?"

Cough, I can't help but think about the next sentence, "Only I am undefeated".

Nie Xinzhi said euphemistically: "Bi Subaru is in love with each other, and the east is white."

That's Daybreak... the dawn of Daybreak.

The official's name is really Xiaoming!

Yu Rong breathed a sigh of relief—he was finally not worried about being suffocated by curiosity—then the topic changed, and he asked strangely: "Aren't there many people whose names contain... Ming?"

Nie Xinzhi patiently explained: "It's just a word, it doesn't matter." After a pause, "The name is a gift from the parents, so there will be overlaps, and the officials will not pursue it. You need to be cautious when you choose an alias."

Yu Rong understood, and decided not to explore this question anymore, and changed the subject: "Tell me, if I want to get an alias, what should I get?"

Nie Xinzhi said without thinking, "Yan'er."

Yu Rong, who was just talking casually, almost choked on his own saliva.

He looked at his elder brother in surprise, with an uncertain tone: "What did you say, elder brother?"

Nie Xinzhi took it for granted: "The appearance is Yanyan, and Yan is also from the sun, which is very suitable for another name of Rong'er."

Yu Rongmo, is it contagious if you name your feelings waste?

Yan'er, I'm still a cat!

"how?"

Yu Rong stared at the man, didn't this guy think the name was weird at all?

"No way, Shaozi, brother!"

Nie Xinzhi fell silent.

Yu Rong decided to give up thinking about another name, and after cleaning up his workbench, he began to think about the medicine to be prepared next.

A quarter of an hour later.

A man's voice sounded: "Shao'er?"

Yu Rong didn't react for a while: "What?"

"Alias." Nie Xinzhi reminded.

Yu Rong's black line, this guy, it feels like he's still thinking about this question for a long time?

but……

How obsessed is this man with the title "X'er"?It's too thunderous!

"What do you mean?" Still unable to hold back his curiosity, Yu Rong asked.

Nie Xin said: "A spoon for soup."

"..."

After being speechless for a while, Yu Rong burst into laughter: "You are the spoon and I am the spoon?"

Not knowing if she understood what Yu Rong meant, Nie Xinzhi nodded with a calm expression.

Yu Rong was overwhelmed with joy, and muttered: "Spoon? Spoon?"

Puchi-

Spoons (fools), spoons (fools), and cutlery (tragic utensils) in pairs, really...

Quite a match.
