One of the big boys

"A good literati will make it look like a market." Chen Shao's tone was contemptuous, and he didn't think highly of Luohe City.

Qin Tan found it interesting, this Luohe City is really lively. "Brother Chen, you're just playing for fun, why get angry? Besides, this Luohe City is really lively, so let's just come and watch the excitement."

Seeing the elegant demeanor of these people, the six sons should be the ones who can read and write, "How many of you are here to participate in the literati meeting?"

Chu Yan replied, "Exactly."

"We have arranged residences for the gifted scholars who came to the literati meeting. It's in Yage on Huaishuli West Street. Would you like to go shopping first or go to the residence first?" Six sons looked at the tall and tall people in front of them. As a cultural person, he compares himself with the four great talents in Luohe City in his heart.Although I don't know what their culture is like, I think the bearing of these three people is very good.

Chen Shao, Qin Tan, and Chu Yan felt a little tired after staying in the carriage for two days, so they went to their residences to have a rest, and then came to take a good look around Luohe City. "Let's go to rest first, can you take us to that residence."

"Well, you follow me. It's not far away."

Qin Tan cupped his hands, "I'm sorry."

The Accord was packed out temporarily, and the decoration is very simple, but it is worthy of the "elegance".As soon as you enter the room, there is a picture of characters hanging behind the counter directly opposite the door. Standing a little farther away, you can see that the characters are written in a majestic style, with a wild posture, showing free and easy and wanton between strokes and strokes.

Chen Shao tapped the words on the picture with his fan, "This should be Li Yuhan's words."

Chu Yan smiled and said, "That's not true. Only Li Yuhan is so free and easy." Chu Yan and Li Yuhan are cousins.But the two got along pretty well.In private, there are still many correspondence.

There are rows of wooden bookshelves on the left and right sides of the hall, and rows of books are neatly arranged on the bookshelves.Through the gaps between the rows, several tables can be seen along the walls.There are also some pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table.

"This is?" Qin Tan asked the six sons, "Is this an inn?"

"It's an inn. But it's not an ordinary inn. This is a library that we only built in Luohe City." The library is a word that I only learned from Brother Bao. "The library is a place where you can read books. Anyone can read books, no money is required. The books are donated by everyone. Most of the books here are donated by our scholars in Luohe City. Mr. Fang, the owner of Shuqingfeng Study Room donated The most. Even the county lord also donated money. This is part of it, and there are many books in the upstairs hall. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones are also donated by Qingfeng Study for a long time. Mr. Fang said that people who read here can Write down your own insights and discuss it with others. Make that pen and ink friend.”

"This is interesting." Chu Yan turned to the bookshelf to look through the books inside.This is an enlightenment reading, "Three Character Classic".There are a lot of annotations written in the correct lower script next to it. This small script can only be regarded as neat, and it is not even a whole.It was written on such an enlightenment book again.It can be seen that this is a book for beginners.

The six sons sharply saw the label on the bookshelf, Enlightenment Readings. "Hehe. This is an enlightenment book. Mr. Fang said that as long as we can recognize all the characters, we can read these books. Well, some of the small annotations next to this are what these words and words mean. Mr. Fang also said that when we can read all the characters, we don’t need to go to school after reading these annotations, and we can become a learned person.” The six sons have made a plan in their hearts, and in the future, they will learn to read first when they have free time, and then they will also read books.

After Qin Tan heard this, he glanced at Liu Zi, his face was silent, but his heart was agitated.In their minds, reading is something only people with a little money in their families can afford.Those pens, ink, paper and inkstones are very expensive.Why did Fang Zhongzhi pay such a large sum of money for others to study.Oh, these other people are not just one or two people, they are people from the entire Luohe City.What would it be like if everyone could afford to read a book?Qin Tan felt that he couldn't figure it out.He couldn't even imagine what Luohe City would look like in the future.Farmers who face the loess and their backs to the sky can read and write, so what is it like?But he knew that if this was the case, then Luohe City would be stronger than every other city in the future.Even more than a hundred times stronger.

"Liu Zi, is someone here?"

"Yes. Hurry up and entertain."

Fang Jia, Chen Shao, Qin Tan, and Chu Yan made a complaint, "I'm sorry, guests. I'm really busy. Are you here to choose some rooms?" He walked to the counter and took out a registration book.Fang Jia is the son of the Fang family, and his surname was not Fang at first, but his grandfather committed a crime, became a slave, was bought by the Fang family, and later took his master's family name.Fang A and Fang B were originally fellows who followed Fang Zhongzhi in Qingfeng Study.One here, Fang Zhongzhi sent them here.

"There are Xiaohe House, Meixuejian, Fengyun Mansion, Peony Pavilion, and Qiao Songju left. I wonder if the three have a choice?"

Chu Yan looked at the words written on the booklet, "I want Mei Xuejian."

Chen Shao, "I want Qiao Songju."

Qin Tanxuan hesitated and chose a peony pavilion.

After registering the booklet, Fang Jia led the three of them upstairs.

As soon as you go upstairs, there is a hall. The layout inside is similar to that downstairs, with rows of bookshelves.Going straight to the east is the living room.

Xiao He She is the first one.I saw that the writing on the small wooden sign next to the room was a bit distorted, but the words were big and full, yet cute.A few simple lotus flowers were carved on the door frame, unopened, half-opened, and opened.A poem was written on the wall next to it, saying, "The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves the softness. The little lotus just shows its sharp horns, and there have been dragonflies standing on it long ago."

Chen Shao said hello, "Good poem." But he saw that the poem was not signed, and he didn't know who wrote it.

"It's really wonderful to use it early." The three of them had a good discussion on this poem.

"Everyone can find the room if you go further. Looking at the house is also a kind of fun, so don't disturb the small ones." Fang Jia withdrew.

The next one is the Peony Pavilion. The poem says, "The peony in front of the court is invincible, and the lotus on the pond is pure and unfeeling. Only the peony is really beautiful, and the capital moves when it blooms."

Then there is Fengyun Mansion, there is a song that says, "When the wind rises, the clouds fly, Vega comes back to the homeland, and the warriors guard the four directions."

Just after seeing the three rooms, Fang Jia came up again.Seeing that these three people were still standing in the corridor, the servants behind them were still carrying their burdens.

"Hey, why haven't the three of you found a room yet? It's already noon, and it's time for lunch. We rough people don't understand these poems and songs, but we have the energy to read and appreciate poems when we are full, don't we?" Discourse There was a sense of persuasion, but Fang Jia was really happy in his heart.After following Fang Zhongzhi for a long time, Fang Jia also knew some things about the literati society, so he was really happy to see this scene.

I persuaded people to find the house quickly, and waited outside to take them to eat.But the man entered the house and never came out again.But Fang Jia was in a hurry.

Besides, Chen Shao, Chu Yan and Qin Tan had never seen the layout of these rooms before.There are eight paintings of plum and snow hanging in Mei Xuejian's room, with poems next to each painting.At first glance, it seems that only these sixteen things in the house are related to plum blossoms, but they are not.When I put down the burden, I could see a tree of plum blossoms at the corner of the table, and I glanced aside, and there was a world of plums and snow on the vase.

Chu Yan sighed, "It's amazing."

After a long delay in the house, the three of them left the house.It is inevitable to have another discussion when we meet.

Fang Jia led the three people to the East Street of Huaishuli No. [-] Avenue. Even after lunch, the street was still full of people.

"The front of this street on the east side is full of food, and if you walk to the west side, there are other things for sale. Well, this Bajie restaurant is the most famous restaurant in our place." Fang Jia led everyone in. Bajie restaurants.

The author has something to say:

After many months, I'm back again.
