The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

The business of Liji Clothing Store is unexpectedly good. In just one day, it has received many orders, from ordinary people to wealthy families. The amount of these orders is enough for Liji Clothing Store to operate for a month.

"Brother Shi, thanks to your design drawings, the store can receive so many orders." Li Sanjie flipped through the booklet in her hand and said gratefully to Wei Shiyi with a smile.

Wei Shiyi waved his hands and smiled, and said: "Third sister, this is not due to me alone. You are also very good at arranging these things. The embroiderer and the tailor are all top-notch. Otherwise, the things I painted I can’t do it either. And the store is also losing money to you to watch over the operation, otherwise our clothing store wouldn’t be able to open so smoothly.”

Because the business in the store was so good, Sanjie Li took stock of the order quantity that day, and she couldn't help but thank Wei Shiyi. She wanted to open a clothing store at first to vent her anger, but now the business of the clothing store is so low. Well, it's all Wei Shiyi's idea.

She is really grateful to Wei Shiyi.

"Sister San, brother Shi, you two are so thankful for coming and going, what a waste of time, isn't this shop owned by both of you?" At this moment, Zheng Shuangcheng's voice suddenly sounded, and he was eating With the steamed bun in his mouth, he said: "Sister, can I take brother Shi away? The long summer has passed, and the golden autumn has arrived. Today, all the students in the academy have made appointments to go to the mountains to enjoy the flowers. If I don't take Take Brother Shi away, and the brothers in the academy will definitely tear me apart."

"We mentioned it to brother Shi before, but brother Shi never agreed. We thought the store was busy, so we didn't keep mentioning it. But now the store is not so busy. Hehe, I can tell brother Shi Take it away?"

When autumn comes, scholars all like to go to the mountains to enjoy flowers, recite poems and compose poems, and the Northern Song Dynasty was no exception.Early this morning, Zheng Shuangcheng came to the store and said that he would take Wei Shiyi out for an autumn outing.But Wei Shiyi and Li Sanjie were looking at the orders in the store, and he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Haha." Li Sanjie smiled and said, "It's fine, you can take it away. It doesn't matter if you two play outside for a long time." Then she turned her head to Wei Shiyi and said, "Brother Shi, you can take care of the store. Don't worry, I'll fix everything. By the way, wait for me, and I'll go back as soon as I go."

After Li Sanjie finished speaking, she turned around and ran out of the shop, returning after a while.When she went out, her hands were empty, but when she came back, she carried several generations of beautifully decorated boxes in her hands.

"How can you not bring food for the autumn tour, brother Shi, if you don't let the boy give you something, I will buy you some snacks. These snacks are edible when they are cold, although the taste may not be as good as the fresh ones. It's not bad, but it's not bad, you bring it and share it with the brothers and sisters in the academy."

Sanjie Li walked up to Wei Shiyi, and handed the boxes to Wei Shiyi.Wei Shiyi was surprised at first, and then moved. He nodded to Li Sanjie, then left the shop with the snacks and Zheng Shuangcheng, and drove up the mountain in a carriage.

During the autumn outing, many students would bring a servant with them when they went out, and the tools and materials they used to cook in the wild would also be put in the carriage.Wei Shiyi is an ordinary family, so there are no servants, and he has to prepare food and supplies by himself.

Zheng Shuangcheng's family has a servant, but Wei Shiyi can't eat for free, and has to prepare something himself.

"Brother Cheng, are there many people going today?" Wei Shiyi put away the snacks and asked Zheng Shuangcheng.

Zheng Shuangcheng put the last bit of steamed bun into his mouth, and said inarticulately, "Mmmmm."

Wei Shiyi was helpless: "Is there a lot?"

Swallowing the steamed buns, Zheng Shuangcheng said clearly: "Not many, not many, just a few people. Those brothers who delivered food. They found me before. There are one or two in our school, and the others are gone. .”

"It's not like I said, Brother Shi, you didn't go to play in the past, you didn't know anyone in the school well. If you didn't lose your memory in Luohe and made takeaway, I don't know if you would know so many people. People." Zheng Shuangcheng said with emotion: "I suddenly think it's good that you lost your memory, your personality is much more cheerful than before, and you talk more."

When Wei Shiyi heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He patted Zheng Shuangcheng's head and said, "You can say that I've become more cheerful. It's fine to mention amnesia. If you can choose, who wants to lose your memory."

If he could choose, he would not choose time travel.

The mountain that Zheng Shuangcheng and the others decided on was a hill outside Bianliang City. Although it was not famous, and it was not as good as the Eight Scenic Spots of Bianliang, it was also a mountain with better scenery. There was a particularly famous maple forest there.

The maple forest spreads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and there is a road full of maple trees.Every autumn, the maple leaves turn fiery red, and when they fall to the ground, they turn deep red.In autumn, this mountain is a large expanse of fiery red and deep red maple leaves, and the layers of colors are piled up together, which is very gorgeous.

So someone built a small square and several pavilions on the top of the mountain to appreciate the maple forest.There are squares and pavilions, and tourists can bring their own food and wine here to enjoy the beautiful scenery comfortably.

When Wei Shiyi and Zheng Shuangcheng reached the top of the mountain, those senior brothers and sisters had already occupied a pavilion, where food and wine had been set up, and a student was there reciting poems in opposition.

Although the students of the Imperial Medical Bureau are different from those who take the orthodox imperial examinations, they don't need to learn so many poems, but it doesn't mean that they have no knowledge. As long as they are students, they all have a dream of becoming a romantic scholar.

Wei Shiyi and Zheng Shuangcheng walked over. The student had just finished his work, and when he saw Wei Shiyi and Zheng Shuangcheng coming, he quickly asked them to come and sit down, and then enthusiastically asked Wei Shiyi and Zheng Shuangcheng to also play a song.

How could Wei Shiyi know how to compose poems? There are many requirements for composing poems, such as mediocrity, rhyme, and antithesis. Every detail must be carefully paid attention to before a poem can come out. Look at the mood of the whole poem.Poems made only by skills have only form but no spirit, which is not counted.

He quickly waved his hands, and said bluntly: "Farewell, senior brother, please forgive me. I won't show my shame at this level. If you do it, I will just watch from the side."

Wei picked up the relics and didn't do anything, the senior brothers looked sideways at Zheng Shuangcheng.Fatty Zheng Shuangcheng is worse than Wei Shiyi. He has devoted himself to medical science. It is very difficult for him to say that he is good at medical science and poetry.

But to Wei Shiyi's surprise, Zheng Shuangcheng actually agreed, perhaps because the weather is fine today, and his temperament is high, so he said: "Okay, I will come if Brother Shi doesn't come. But my level is not good enough, so I will come to you." I don’t write poems anymore, how about memorizing one?”

"Hahaha, fine, you can memorize a poem without writing a poem."

The young boy Zheng Shuangcheng said quickly: "Then I will recite a song "Mountain Journey" by Mr. Du. It is far away from the cold mountain and the stone path is slanted. "

"Okay!" A brother clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Du's poem is very similar to ours now, with cars, pavilions, and maple leaves."

Wei Shiyi also smiled and said: "The poem Cheng Geer chose is really good, and it fits our current situation very well."

Mr. Du Mu's "Mountain Journey" talks about how he likes the beautiful maple leaves so much that he stopped the car to appreciate them, watched the gorgeous sunset glow and the fiery red maple leaves complement each other, and finally lingered and couldn't bear to leave. Under the circumstances, I wrote a poem based on my feelings.

The deeper meaning may not match their current artistic conception, but at least from the surface of the poem, it is in line with their current situation.

After finishing the poem, everyone started to eat, chatting and laughing while eating snacks.Most of these brothers and sisters are studying orthodox Chinese medicine, only Wu Fei and the others are studying surgery, but at this time there is no alienation between them, but they are very harmonious.

"Senior Brother Wu, to tell you the truth, we used to think that the people in your academy were very weird, and we had prejudice against you. But after getting along these days, we realized that you are the same as us." The student held a wine glass and drank with Wu Fei, "I did something wrong before, but here, I will offer you a toast, I hope you don't mind."

Wu Fei didn't mind, he drank the glass of wine with a smile, and said: "How can it be, people always have some ideas about things they don't understand. But as long as they understand, understand, and have no prejudice, then there is nothing wrong with it." Relationship."

"Junior Brother Wei, I also offer you a toast."

Wei Shiyi was eating snacks and drinking tea beside him, when he heard the senior brother toasting him with a wine glass.

Wei Shiyi didn't drink alcohol, he was still young, not yet old enough to drink.Although 12 years old was not young in ancient times, he is still a primary school student in modern times. As an excellent successor of communism, he resolutely implements the party's rule that minors do not drink alcohol.

"Brother?" Wei Shiyi was a little confused holding the teacup.

"Junior Brother Wei, I still have to thank you. If you and Brother Cheng hadn't made takeaways, we wouldn't have been able to find a job. Thank you."

When he was bored, he went to Zheng Shuangcheng again with a wine glass, and he had to drink with Zheng Shuangcheng.Zheng Shuangcheng never refused to come, he had already had a drink in Tianshui Lane, when someone offered him a toast, he immediately drank with that senior brother, the atmosphere was very lively.

Wei Shiyi: "..."

"Brother Shi, let's talk to senior brother." At this moment, Wu Fei whispered to Wei Shiyi.

Wei Shiyi looked at the messy people here, thought for a while, nodded, and followed Wu Fei out of the pavilion.As soon as I got outside, the wind hit my face. The wind was not cold, but it felt cool on my slightly hot face.

It is indeed very pleasant to enjoy the beautiful scenery with the breeze blowing.Taking a deep breath, Wei Shiyi was refreshed.

"Senior Brother Wu, what do you want to tell me?" Wei Shiyi said.

Wu Fei smiled and said, "Brother Shi, I want to say thank you."

"Thank you for the takeaway and providing us with work; thank you for selling your surgical instruments to us undisguisedly, because of your surgical instruments, our progress in researching the human body has been a little faster during this period ; Thank you for affirming that what we have learned is useful and can save people, and let us see with our own eyes that what we have learned is very useful."

"Hey, it's okay." Wei Shiyi said with a wave of his hand. He thought Wu Fei was going to tell him something, but it turned out to be this matter. This is not counted as his help, but it is convenient, so he doesn't need to come here specially Grateful, the atmosphere in the pavilion next to it was warm, Wei Shiyi said with a smile: "Brother, let's go too."

Wu Fei looked at it, nodded, and said in relief, "Okay, let's go back."

I have to say that the people of the Northern Song Dynasty really enjoyed it.Wei Shiyi played with them for a day, and it really felt good.They stayed until evening and watched the maple trees under the sunset before they started driving back.

It was just that when they were halfway, they suddenly heard a huge explosion, "Bang!", resounding throughout the valley.

Wei Shiyi put his head out to look almost immediately, and Zheng Shuangcheng followed suit, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Shi, what's that sound?"

It should be the sound of an explosion, Wei Shiyi thought. When he thought of an explosion, he thought of Zhou Yun. The last time he gave the formula of fire and medicine to Zhou Yun, the purpose was to improve the research of fire and medicine in the Northern Song Dynasty. It also slightly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Being busy for so many days, Wei Shiyi didn't pay attention to Zhou Yun's affairs all the time. Now it seems that Zhou Yun should have made some firearms with the gunpowder and experimented here.

"Brother Cheng, don't you know?" a senior brother said.

Zheng Shuangcheng was puzzled, "Know what?"

"It seems that you really don't know." The senior brother said, "That's right, you seem to have only been to this mountain a few times, and it's normal if you haven't encountered it before."

Seeing what the senior brother said, Zheng Shuangcheng became more and more puzzled, and said, "Senior brother, what should I know?"

"This mountain has no name. Although there are maple trees as a beautiful scenery, it is still not as good as the Eight Scenic Spots of Bianliang. Therefore, there are few people here, and sometimes it is used by the court for some things." The brother explained, "You The sound I heard just now should be caused by some weapon made by the court, don’t worry, it won’t affect us.”

Zheng Shuangcheng was surprised, "Is there such a thing here?"

"Of course……"

The boy Zheng Shuangcheng was very excited when he came into contact with new knowledge, and he kept talking with that senior brother.Wei Shiyi also listened to it. It turned out that the Northern Song Dynasty did a good job of safety precautions. Even if it was to experiment with new weapons, the place chosen was a desolate place.

Wei Shiyi didn't take this matter very seriously, he only regarded it as an episode.

But that night, a patient came to his clinic suddenly. At that time, Wei Shiyi was playing with Wei Shihuan at home, teaching Wei Shihuan to read and write. When he heard that there was a patient in the clinic, he was surprised, especially It was the patient who specifically appointed him for treatment.

Then Wei Shiyi went to the medical hall and found that the person in the medical hall was none other than Zhou Yun.Zhou Yun's entire back was covered in blood, and he was unconscious, lying pale in the inner hall of the medical hall.

Seeing Wei Shiyi coming, Zhou Pu said eagerly to Wei Shiyi: "Wei Shiyi, my Marquis Yu was injured and there are many stones on his back, please quickly take these stones out, please, we must take my Marquis Yu back. cured."
