Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

What's more, she also asked Chun Xi and Xia Hua to go out for more than a year, except for the constant delivery of new books, but what Ai Ruo and her family are most looking forward to is not these new books, but their travel notes.

Of course, Chun Xi was not as good as Xia Hua in writing. At the beginning, they didn't know what to write. They just wrote what they saw. When it is delivered according to Ai Ruo's standard, it will be very standardized.

Divide it into four parts, and then, it will bring customs and culture, such as the same food, which is called differently in different places, and it looks very interesting. Now even Mu Geer is looking forward to their letter back, because it contains manuscripts, It was as if a window had really been opened in their hearts, making them yearn for the outside world very much.

For more than a year, they can really travel a lot of places. One place is enough for them to write a lot of things, and, as time goes on, the things become richer, because from the ignorance at the beginning, to the slow Find a unique direction to look at things, so their respective things gradually become different.

For example, Chunxi's manuscripts are full of joy for new things, all kinds of interesting things, interesting people, interesting food, and strange customs and habits, making her books unbearable. I want to pack my luggage and go to the place she said immediately, so as to feel the beauty of the place.

And Xia Hua is a literati, she looks at things much more profoundly, full of thoughts, and has a very tricky angle.The introduction of the local area is also thought-provoking by the way, and I want to find out from her perspective.

Every time he received their manuscripts, Jia Zheng was moved, and repeatedly praised Ai Ruo for doing a good job. Finding books really came second. I didn’t feel this moved when I read the travel notes of the predecessors before. , the whole article is plain and easy to understand.But full of fun and beauty.

Ai Ruo is very happy that Jia Zheng's mind is getting wider and wider, but the more she sees, the less she knows if she is doing the right thing.It didn't matter before, she could do whatever she wanted, but now she is a wife and a mother, so the vernacular travel notes written by the maid are kept in the big library.Those scholar-bureaucrats must chop themselves, saying that they are insulting to gentlemen?

Jia Zheng didn't think too much about it, "Then write their man's name?"

"Why?" Ai Ruo put her hands on her hips again, why can't she write a woman's name?

"Haha!" Jia Zheng laughed again, and directly wrote Zhao Xi and Song Hua on a piece of white paper.Chunxi's maiden name is Zhao, and Xia Hua's maiden name is Song. They are both slaves born in the family, and they didn't have a proper name before entering the mansion.It could be regarded as their real names, but it also downplayed the fact that they were women.

Ai Ruo just nodded.After looking at it, he still sighed, "Even if there are these, it is actually not enough. Really, why are there so few books?"

"How could there be less? Haven't we already copied all the books from the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy? Many of them are orphan copies!" Jia Zheng looked at the book list and was moved.I really feel that my wife has done a great good deed, and I can't read these books unless I enter the Imperial Academy.Even if they can read it, they can't take it out. This time the sage allowed them to take out the book and copy it to benefit the public. It is really beneficial to the country and the people.Unexpectedly, the wife would feel less.

"Not anymore, I have printed a lot." Ai Ruo rolled her eyes, thought about it, and stared at Jia Zheng, "Master, do you want to compile a book?"

"Ah?" Jia Zheng opened his mouth wide again, the daughter-in-law really dares to think about anything!

"Yes, for book editing, we already have a publishing house, so we can set up another editorial department to complete the work. Master, you take your students and make good use of our library, extract the essence, discard the dross, and make good use of it." Write some new books."

"Madam!" Jia Zheng was speechless.

"Can't?"

"No, there are just so many books, how can I edit them? I don't have that ability!" Jia Zheng became more and more modest, and said by the way, "Also, it's very expensive."

"Why is it expensive?" Ai Ruo really didn't understand why it was expensive to compile a book?

"A group of people eat, drink, and drink. To compile a book requires a variety of books. To buy books... We have books at home, so we can save money. But it costs money to hire people." Sir, the account room has been changed.

"That's right. Before compiling a book, you need a lot of books, and these collections cost a lot of money, but what we have at home are books, which saves money. As for a group of people eating and drinking...it doesn't cost much money." Ai Ruo suddenly thought of Jia. Those who clean up the government.Those like Zhan Guang also felt that it was a problem, and hurriedly said, "We have to find those who are really talented and learned to edit. Really only find some who can only brag and flatter. They are not afraid of spending money, but they are afraid of bringing the master's reputation."

"Madam, are you serious?"

"Of course, by the way, master can write a book by himself. For example, don't you like to tell me about your reading experience on weekdays? Just write those out. It's just an essay, just like Chunxi and the others. Let Zhuer and the others do this My child can also understand the beauty of the artistic conception in the book." Ai Ruo thought about it and said, sometimes Jia Zheng told her knowledge, but she couldn't understand it, so Jia Zheng could only speak bluntly. It's a good idea to know.How come no one understands?Think about it, too, if you don't speak human words well, it will be strange if someone understands them, otherwise the forum of hundreds of schools will become popular all of a sudden, that is, people really have something to say.

"Why?" Jia Zheng didn't think that there was anything to write about, but it was just a boudoir memorabilia, and writing it was nothing.

"I just want to read it, do you want to write it?" Ai Ruo shouted, can she really explain?Jia Chen, who was playing on the pit next to him, immediately sat up straight, put his hands on his waist like Ai Ruo, and smiled at Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng gave his son a popcorn. Jia Chen became depressed and climbed to the corner again.Recently, he loves this, and when he is unhappy, he climbs to the corner, very similar to Ai Ruoxian who often sees QQ expressions in modern times, so he doesn’t stop him. Every time he sees him go to the corner, she hugs her stomach and laughs, thinking that his son is so fun .

Jia Zheng was speechless, feeling that his wife was really unreliable, but seeing her smile so happily, she became happy again, as if her heart was full.If she wants to read it, she just needs to write it, and it is not difficult.

He fooled Jia Zheng, thinking about handing over the storybooks Xiaodai read when he was a child to the printing press, even if it was for the children to read.In the end, she was determined not to let people think that she was actually looking for something to do, and let herself not think too much.

In fact, in Ai Ruo's opinion, there are too few books, but, in fact, their library here is actually the largest and most complete in this era.

After such a busy half a year, they haven't had a good year, and finally picked an auspicious day to open, and Jia Zheng specially invited the Imperial College to offer wine to cut the ribbon.Ask him why he didn't invite the old sage, but he really wants to invite him. The question is, can he get enough of him?He is not even qualified to go to court, let alone face saint.

In fact, it is best to invite Guozijian to sacrifice wine. It is actually appropriate for the teacher of the world's scholars and the highest official of the highest institution to cut a library.

After cutting the ribbons, people go in and have a look. They are also scholars. When they see shelves full of books, they are divided into categories. There are big tables and chairs outside. It is really a place for people to read books. My heart is full of emotions. Such a big house , so many books, I immediately feel that it is better to be rich. As a poor Beijing official, even if I really love reading, the collection of books at home is less than one percent of that here, and this person can already put books here for free. People watched.It really is the courage of the family.Master Jijiu was really envious and jealous at this time.

And Liu Rui has already been here before, who is one of the planners who went to Mu Ge'er, from the beginning to the end, I am honored, so after the arrangement is completed, Liu Rui is invited to come over and show off to him, there are also own credit.

Liu Rui looked at it and was surprised. He really didn't expect Cheng Gai to be like this.He knew that the library was very large and majestic. Of course, this was also because some people were unwilling to be alone, so they took eye drops from the old sage.After the old sage's second child rebelled and was poisoned last year, his temper became more tempered, so he didn't feel so relieved about Jia Zheng.

Liu Rui didn't know what was wrong, so he stepped forward to save them.By the way, call Mu Geer, after all, he is also one of the principals.Naturally, Mu Ge'er wanted to speak more kindly.The old sage reluctantly stopped pursuing it.At this moment it was finally done, he came in to have a look, this is Mrs. Jia's dream land?Send people to collect the books of the world, and even set up a publishing house to reprint all the books of the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy. Is this what Mrs. Jia, who is desperate for money, did?

"Is this 1 taels enough?"

"Not enough, but I estimate that in less than a year, Mrs. Jia will earn 2 taels." Mu Ge'er tilted his head and sighed.

Liu Rui was turning the pages of the book. He was in a complicated mood at first. How can I say that the 1 taels were taken out of his own pocket, but it turned out to be really finished, and it had nothing to do with his half-money. Could it not be complicated?As a result, Liu Rui's hands trembled when Mu Ge said something, what do you mean?

"The first floor is the library area. You see, although the center is empty, there are still tables around it. There are many large rooms above the table. In addition to the management office, there is also an editorial department, which is specially used for compiling books. There are few problems. There is also a book printing shop by the river, which is responsible for printing books, and there is a bookstore at the door. If you like it here, you can go to the door to buy it..." Seeing that his uncle's face is getting worse and worse, Mu Ge is very considerate stopped.

"There's something to see here, who will buy it!" Liu Rui's veins popped out.

"I've bought all my pocket money for books this month." Mu Ge expressed his shame, but said helplessly.

"Why? Are there not enough books in the palace for you to read?" Liu Rui was about to jump, and Mu Geer would definitely not buy books just to cheer him up. Well, as long as you have a little money, you won't be happy to sit in the library and read. You can lie on a rocking chair at home, with a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and drink while reading. That's a beautiful thing in life, isn't it?
