I engaged in modernization in ancient times
Chapter 48
Mo Shaoheng wrote the script for about seven days with his head covered.
"The Story of Yu Niang" is also considered complete, with a content of about 8 words.
In Mo Shaoheng's opinion, it can only be regarded as a short novel, but it is already considered a long novel for this era.
The content is quite rich. A noble lady has experienced unimaginable suffering and twists and turns. Anyway, it is impossible for ordinary people to experience such unlucky things.
But the ending is happyend, the lovers finally get married, they are a pair of enviable gods and couples.
Perhaps the sweetness that comes from bitterness is the real sweetness.
In the past few days, Mo Shaoheng also asked his servants to move the books in the mansion to Bird Clothes Lane.
Grandma came over to see it once.
"It doesn't matter if these books are useful, but if they are placed in our mansion, bookworms will be born."
From the grandmother's point of view, Mo Shaoheng was doing a great deed, something to accumulate virtue, so naturally he would not object.
Mo Shaoheng took "The Legend of Yu Niang" to Bird Clothes Lane.
The library has also been remodeled.
Two floors up and down, spacious and bright.
Because the custom in Beiliang is that men and women have different rooms, Mo Shaoheng dare not break such a strong defense between men and women.
However, providing the upper layer to women and the lower layer to men, Mo Shaoheng can still do such a thing, although in the eyes of Liangjing people, it may be enough to shock the world.
After all, there are strange men and women who come and go, and they seem a little unethical.
When Mo Shaoheng arrived, a sign was being put up in front of the building, and the door plaque with three large characters of "library" made people very confused.
Can't understand what it does at all.
In order to keep the style consistent, Mo Shaoheng still had someone make a banner and put it outside the door, with the word "Book" written on it in big letters.
"Is this a bookstore, a book seller?"
"It should be, Mo Shaoheng actually opened a special bookstore."
"With his talent and learning, many people will definitely come to buy books in admiration."
It can also be a little literary.
Mo Shaoheng did not explain, but entered the building.
There are almost enough bookshelves, tables and stools in the building.
The books brought over from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion were neatly placed on the bookshelves.
Mo Shaoheng went up to the second floor, and put the "Biography of Yu Niang" in his hand in the most conspicuous place.
After thinking about it, it is time to play the role of the library.
Two old stewards who can read and write were transferred in as administrators.
Then, Mo Shaoheng sent an invitation post to the eldest princess Zhao Jinhe, asking her to invite her girl group of hundreds to come to the library to read.
It can also be regarded as a place for them to spend their time.
Of course, on the invitation, be sure to let the eldest princess bring the little girl from Li Hanlin's family.
This little girl caused such a big thing, I am afraid that only the eldest princess can bring her out.
Mo Shaoheng simply waited, sat in the library by himself, took a book, and read it quietly.
I don't know how long it took, but several carriages were parked outside the library.
Zhao Jinhe got off the carriage, looked up at the door plaque, "This is it?"
The invitation card simply said that there is a place to read books to pass the time and invite her to take a look, without going into details.
A few women came down from the carriages behind, and the little girl from Li Hanlin's family was among them, depressed and dull.
They come together.
When I looked up, I didn't understand what the building was for, but I saw the notice posted outside the building.
It is the rule of the library.
The general content is, first, the books in the library can only be borrowed in the building and cannot be taken out.
Second, all the books in the library can be transcribed, but as a price for free transcribing, two copies need to be transcribed, one to take away with oneself, and one to be left in the library.
Third, the library is a membership system, and you need to apply for a membership card to enter.
The following rules are probably the rules of not making noise in the business world and indoors.
"Isn't it a book seller?"
Still have some doubts.
In fact, Mo Shaoheng also sells books, and if there are too many books left behind by disciples from poor families, they need to be sold.
Mo Shaoheng saw Zhao Jinhe and others coming, and went out to welcome him in.
He explained, "It's just a place to read books for leisure, and it's also convenient for poor families to transcribe some books."
Zhao Jinhe smiled and said, "It's interesting."
In the past, they all read books at home, and they had never had the experience of reading books together in one place.
Mo Shaoheng said, "If you have any idle books, you can also put them in the library. When someone copies them, I will return the originals to you. It can also be regarded as a small contribution to my scholars in Beiliang."
Everyone was stunned.
They seem to feel the real usefulness of this library. After all, not everyone is like them, and they have a lot of good books at home.
Besides, if more people leave rubbings of their own books here, the library will develop day by day, and how many books will be collected in the end. I am afraid that no mansion can collect such a complete collection of books.
Mo Shaoheng did indeed intend to do so, after all, his books on Zhenbei Prince's Mansion are still limited.
Mo Shaoheng said, "Go upstairs first. The upstairs is a place for women to read books. If you come later, just go to the second floor. Don't worry."
The library management counter is between the first floor and the second floor, guarded by an old lady and an old gentleman, and they are strictly guarded.
Mo Shaoheng kept Zhao Jinhe behind, and said in a low voice, "On the first shelf upstairs, there is a book called "The Legend of Yu Niang". You should find a way to hand it to the little girl from Li Hanlin's family."
Zhao Jinhe was taken aback for a moment. She was wondering why she had to bring the little girl from Li Hanlin's family with her. You must know that as a man, Mo Shaoheng would be somewhat inappropriate to invite a noble girl privately. Not everyone is like Like her, she doesn't care about these at all.
Mo Shaoheng whispered, "That book can cure that little girl's illness."
Zhao Jinhe nodded, so that's the case, she looked at the little girl pitifully, and she became demented, but she couldn't listen to her persuasion, and now she can only help as much as she can.
Mo Shaoheng didn't follow him upstairs, because the old lady at the counter kept staring at him, implying that the son is also a man.
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
This administrator is competent.
Go back to the book he hasn't finished.
Zhao Jinhe waited upstairs, but no one introduced him, but the furnishings in the building were clear at a glance, and he seemed to know how to use all the functions just by looking at them.
Several people walked towards the bookshelf, looking at the neatly arranged books on it.
"It is convenient to find and read."
The title of the book is self-explanatory.
If you are interested in any book, just pick it up yourself.
Quite novel, indeed a good place to read.
Zhao Jinhe walked to the first shelf and saw "The Legend of Yu Niang" at first sight without having to look for it, because the other books were all neatly placed, but this one was placed on the top very scatteredly.
Can it cure the little girl's illness?
Zhao Jinhe couldn't help turning to the first page, and looked at the proverbs.
"All my life, Yu Niang, I only want to marry the person I like..."
Zhao Jinhe's heart trembled, as if something had struck her soul.
What kind of woman is it that dares to say such words bravely.
You know, if this is the case, I am afraid that someone will say it, and I have no shame.
Women never get married by themselves.
Just like her, in order not to get married, she just said a few words, and directly became the existence that all men avoid, like some existence that cannot be tolerated in the world. The reason to slander her is because of her noble status.
I was also a little puzzled, this book didn't look like a classic of sages, but more like a storybook.
Just as I was about to read on, at this time, the other ladies had already chosen their books.
"Your Highness, it's good for us to sit next to it and watch it. The tables and stools next to it look rather novel."
Zhao Jinhe nodded, chose another book on the bookshelf, and then walked over.
The little lady of Li Hanlin's family, like a lost soul, just sat there in a daze, without choosing a book in her hand, which made people feel distressed.
Zhao Jinhe passed the "Biography of Yu Niang" over, "I happened to take an extra copy, let's see if it suits your taste."
Then sat down.
The table and chairs in this library are indeed strange. There is a strange board on the table, and the slope of the board can be adjusted by placing books on it.
I feel like reading a book has become more leisurely.
A little surprised.Such a board for each person and one book also keeps a certain distance between each other, even if it is full of people, it seems that they will not interfere with each other.
It is indeed a good place to read a book, and it seems good to sit here when you are free.
Zhao Jinhe is also observing the little girl of Li Hanlin's family.
The little girl was holding the book in a daze, flipping it open like a puppet, and didn't even adjust the interesting board on which the book was placed.
It's just that, with an obviously infatuated expression, he was obviously taken aback when he turned the pages of the book.
No one could persuade her to go in, and the little girl who lost her soul actually reacted.
Perhaps this is why Mo Shaoheng said that this book can cure diseases.
However, she only read one proverb, and she didn't know what was written in the book.
Can not help but pay more attention to it.
It was quite amazing to see that little girl concentrating on watching for a moment.
But after a while, the little girl frowned, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The little girl from Li Hanlin's family was named Li Xiangning, and when she looked at the book in her hand, her heart ached.
This noble girl named Yu Niang is too pitiful.
How could she experience so many twists and turns one after another, and how could she be surrounded by such vicious relatives and friends.
How can she get rid of this unfair fate in such a situation.
She used to think that she was too miserable, but now compared with Yu Niang in the book, her experience is nothing.
In fact, she is quite lucky, although everyone blames her, saying that she doesn't know what to do, and her father sometimes scolds her in anger, but at least her father is still trying to find a way around, in order to break the engagement for her, humbly, At least I still feel sorry for her a little bit.
Unlike Yu Niang, her parents even wished to sell their daughter in order to advance in the officialdom.
It was so pitiful, I couldn't bear the distress, and the tears kept falling.
But she couldn't help watching, because every time there was a tribulation, when she saw no way out, and she didn't even have the courage to live, there was a little turn for the better.
People can't help but see if Yu Niang can seize this opportunity to turn the situation around.
She even shouted in her heart, Yu Niang, she must overcome the difficulties and live on.
Before he knew it, he didn't know whether the cry was for Yu Niang in the book or for herself.
Zhao Jinhe was confused. What's the matter with this little girl? Tears flowed from sadness for a while, and she smiled like a sigh of relief.
The other girls also noticed the situation, because Li Xiangning sobbed too sadly when she cried, and it was too sad when she laughed.
Can't help but look at Zhao Jinhe, what's going on?There should be no problem, right?
Zhao Jinhe also hurriedly asked, "Xiang Ning, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable staying here, I'll send you back."
Li Xiangning actually raised her head and replied, "It's fine."
Several people:"……"
A piece of wood that lost its soul actually responded to the outside world's questioning.
Holding the book, she even showed a smile like a rainbow after the rain, because she happened to see Yu Niang in the book going through another ordeal.
That smile made people feel a little distracted, obviously there were still wet tears on the eyebrows.
Li Xiangning buried her head and looked at it again. Yu Niang has experienced those heart-scratching twists and turns in the early stage, and now she has written that Yu Niang met the son of the noble family who came to the mansion for a banquet. Feeling sorry for Yu Niang.
But how could this be possible, it was not in accordance with etiquette, but why did he hope that this noble young master could take Yu Niang to escape from this devil's lair and live a happy life.
Zhao Jinhe and others: "..."
You look at me, I look at you, what is the magic of this book?
People upstairs were reading books, while Mo Shaoheng downstairs also welcomed a new visitor.
Zhao Jingcheng and a few other students stretched their heads to look inside.
Now that there is a new shop in Bird Clothes Lane, Zhao Jingcheng and other students are definitely the first to come here to hunt for novelties.
Seeing Mo Shaoheng reading a book inside, Zhao Jingcheng and others hurried inside.
Mo Shaoheng pointed to the notice hanging at the door, "No noise is allowed indoors."
"Are you also reading?" Mo Shaoheng asked, and it was clearly stated in the notice that this is a place for reading and transcribing books.
Zhao Jingcheng didn't know why, but actually lowered his voice, like a thief, "What do you mean? We are also scholars."
Why can't they read the book?
Mo Shaoheng also smiled, "Now do you know that you are a scholar?"
Let me read on weekdays, just like the neck of a knife holder.
Mo Shaoheng didn't say anything, and pointed to the bookshelf, "Go pick out a book by yourself, find a place to sit down and read it at ease, and remember not to make any noise."
Zhao Jingcheng looked at the room, his eyes rolled around, this place looks so weird.
Then he pretended to pick up books, held several books in his hands, ran to the seat, and played with the wooden board where the books were placed.
Then put the book on top neatly, looking like a scholar.
It's just that his annoying eyes looked at this and that, but he didn't seem to calm down.
Mo Shaoheng doesn't care about these students, as long as they don't make noise, there are not many people who doze off in any library.
First floor, facing the street.
From time to time, passersby pass by and take a look inside through the half-opened windows.
I saw several students including Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Jingcheng reading books.
"Since when is there a school here?"
"But it doesn't seem like it's teaching."
It's a weird building.
At this time, a scholar from a poor family passed by with a book box.
This person's name is Ji Li, and his family is poor, but he especially likes to read, and he has quite a literary name.
He glanced at the door plaque, "Library?"
I don't understand.
But he was also taken aback because he saw the posted announcement.
"Available for students to copy and transcribe books?"
The footsteps could not help but stop.
A poor student like him went to borrow books from other people's houses. How should I put it? If others are willing to borrow books, it is naturally good, but if others are not willing, it is really embarrassing.
But there is no way, books are too expensive, and they can't afford many books.
And copying books, no matter how much you cherish them, if you copy too much, the books will be depreciated. Therefore, after borrowing books once or twice in many mansions, they are unwilling to borrow them again.
Children from poor families like them can't bring much benefit to others, and unless they are really kind-hearted people, they won't lend books to them.
Ji Li could not help but stop.
Looking in through the window, I vaguely saw a few noble teenagers scratching their skins and reading books, especially the little fat man, with his whole chin on the table, his eyes drowsy, saying that he was sleeping, but not It's completely true. To say that he is reading a book is nonsense. I'm afraid that after reading a book like this, he will just go through it in his head, and he probably won't remember anything after reading it.
Are all nobles?
Ji Li hesitated for a moment, then looked at the notice again.
After a while, he finally couldn't hold back and walked into the building.
After all, it is necessary to ask.
If you can really read some books, even if you lose face once, it will be worth it.
When Ji Li walked in, he immediately felt that the quietness inside the building was very different from the outside.
Then glanced at it, and immediately noticed the bookshelves.
There are many books of...
Even if they go to borrow books from other people's homes, there are only one or two books at most.
With a sigh in my heart, I must have missed the children of their poor family.
At this time, the old man on the counter who looked like a shopkeeper said, "But come to the library to read?"
Ji Li was taken aback for a moment, but still hadn't reacted.
The old man took out a brochure, "If you want to read books, you need to register as a member of the library with me. Only members can enter our library."
Ji Li: "..."
Didn't ask for his name post?
This name post is like a nobleman's status, it is a token to identify a person's family background.
Instead, what members?
The old man asked again, "Are you here to read?"
Ji Li nodded reflexively, then realized that he was about to speak.
As a result, the old man had already immersed himself in writing, "The annual membership fee is one tael of silver."
"I need to do a registration, name, where is the person?"
Ji Li thought to himself, as expected, he still wants to be a nobleman.
In fact, the reason why Mo Shaoheng asked to register these things was because the people who came to the library were so messy and there were women, so it was better to have a clean family. Anyone who commits crimes would definitely not do it.
Seeing that Ji Li didn't answer, the shopkeeper couldn't help but raised his head and looked over suspiciously.
Ji Li was quite generous and decent, and performed the etiquette of a scholar, "Students come from poor families..."
The shopkeeper said directly, "That's not what I'm asking, I need your basic information to apply for a membership card for you."
"With the membership card, you can come in to read books at any time when our library is open. The period is one year. After one year, if you still want to read books, you need to renew the fee. It is still one or two silver a year."
A tael of silver is nothing to the nobles, and it is not too much or too much for the poor.
Ji Li was really confused, didn't he ask about his family background?
Before he could react, the shopkeeper started asking him his name, where he was from, and even asked him for a household registration document.
The household registration document is the same as the modern ID card, which can be regarded as a process of identifying the person.
When Ji Li reacted, the shopkeeper had already handed over a very delicate small sign, with his name written on it in small letters with hairpin flowers, and a serial number on the back.
"This is your membership card, you keep it, and you only need to show it to read books in the future."
"By the way, our library is divided into two floors. The upper floor is exclusively for women in Beiliang. Men are not allowed to go upstairs. If there is any violation, report to the official immediately."
Ji Li couldn't believe what membership fee he had paid and what membership card he was holding in his hand.
"So... I can read books in the next year? All the books on the shelves?"
God, how many books there must be.
In the past, he would be happy for a long time when he borrowed a book.
The shopkeeper replied, "As long as it is within business hours, you can use your membership card. This is a library, a place open to readers."
Ji Li: "..."
Holding the membership card, which in his opinion is no longer a matter of a tael of silver, he walked towards the bookshelf.
The noble boys were still looking at him with interest.
But he didn't say anything, and no one scolded him.
It seems that there is no...rejection for the entry of a child from a poor family. This is very strange. There have always been circles from poor families, and circles from nobles. It is rare for them to mix together like now.
He even saw Mo Shaoheng sitting in the corner without looking up.
My heart trembled, Immortal Linjiang!
If you want to say that there are scholars in Liangjing, there are probably no people who don't know Linjiang Xian, what a brilliant literary talent, and the beauty of Beiliang.
He, the number one talented person in Beiliang, is actually reading here!
And he, like Immortal Linjiang, can sit here and read a book?
When I walked to the bookshelf and got closer, I realized that there are really many books.
Unlike Zhao Jingcheng, who was half-filled with water, his hands trembled involuntarily when he looked at the books on the bookshelf.
In addition to the subset of poems and books of the sages, many books that he could not borrow even if he wanted to copy them, there are even some rare books from the former dynasty.
Such a book, just a tael of silver, can't even be touched.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
My heart trembled violently.
The only problem is that there are so many books that he really wants to read, and now that they are suddenly placed in front of him, he doesn't know how to choose.
It was difficult to pick a rare book. Really, when he came across that book, he was a little afraid to reach out.
Take the book and walk to the seat next to you.
No one cares about him. It seems that no one here cares whether he is a nobleman or a poor family. He just needs to choose and read books by himself, that's all.
Like, it's just a place to read.
That's good too, because if someone comes to strike up a conversation now, he's afraid he'll be so nervous.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ji Li breathed a sigh of relief, put the book on the strange board, and learned to adjust a slope that is convenient for reading.
I looked around and looked around.
It's just that he couldn't read such a precious book today.
He also knew why.
Will he be able to read books here in the next year?
Library, is this a library?
At this time, it seemed that someone came down from upstairs.
It's a woman, a noble woman from Beiliang, but what makes people puzzled is that the eyes of these women... are all swollen from crying.
What's going on here?Didn't you say that the second floor is also a place to read books?Why did I cry like this while reading a book?
However, don't look at evil, Ji Li quickly lowered his head.
Zhao Jinhe waited for a few people to come down, and Mo Shaoheng greeted him, "Would you like to watch for a while?"
Zhao Jinhe felt a little resentful, "I wanted to stay longer, but..."
A group of girls were crying, disturbing the peace of reading, somewhat embarrassed.
"We just got into the carriage to rectify our emotions, and then come in when we recover. It's not really leaving now."
They haven't seen the end of "The Story of Yu Niang", so they are reluctant to leave.
Then why is Yu Niang so distressing, but also so strong, as if no tribulation can defeat her, she has clearly experienced one after another, in their opinion, unimaginable tribulations one after another.
I was fascinated by it for a while, and my soul was fascinated by it, as if they had transformed into Yu Niang in the book.
Unable to stop crying, they went downstairs to calm down together, and then came back to continue watching, so as not to make a joke.
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
The woman is really sentimental, which is too empathetic.
Fortunately, what he wrote was happy end's cool articles, and they all looked like tearful people.
Did he succeed as a cool writer, or did he fail?
Let them go out to relax now.
Mo Shaoheng also glanced at Li Xiangning of Li Hanlin's family, his eyes were swollen badly, but there was a light in his eyes.
The effect should still be there, no matter what, it's better than being immersed in one's own demonic obstacles.
When she sees the ending, it should heal some pain.
Mo Shaoheng took out the membership card with his name written on it from the counter, "This is the membership card of the library. You can use this card to read books here when I'm not around in the future."
Rules are rules, and the library cannot be a place to come and go casually, this is also to protect them.
Of course, the membership fee is waived, and he can still afford it.
It's a beautiful little card that can be carried anywhere, which is pretty.
Several women walked out, and they could still hear the voices discussing the plot, "Yu Niang's life is too hard, how could her parents be so cruel."
"I don't know if the noble son can help Yu Niang escape from the sea of suffering."
"I'm afraid it won't work. Yu Niang is engaged to someone else, and her parents are eager to sell her. Even if the young master and her treat each other sincerely, there will be no result."
"But... it's annoying, and I don't know who wrote this story. Every time I get desperate, I turn around again, but I always have regrets..."
The sound goes away.
Zhao Jingcheng and the others muttered in low voices, "What kind of books are they reading? What kind of poor Yu Niang?"
"It still looks pretty good."
His eyes looked at Nan Yi who was sleeping on the table.
Nan Banban drooped his eyelids, "It's nothing to watch, it's all bloody drama, it's so weird, I've only watched it five times, and I can figure out the routines clearly."
Several people:"……"
Mo Shaoheng came in and knocked on the tables of several people, "Quiet, I don't know the rules, I don't see anyone reading a book."
Ji Li really couldn't see it at first, but after all, he is a scholar who loves to read, so he gradually immersed himself in it.
Of course, it is also because the treasure he selected is indeed worth reading.
It's like forgetting everything outside, reading a book quietly, the years are quiet, but that's all.
Until, the treasurer who manages the library came to remind him, "Young student, our business hours are up today. If you want to read books, come back tomorrow."
Ji Li raised his head and looked out the window, unknowingly it was really almost evening.
Although it's a pity, I should still be able to watch it for a while, but it's closed, so it's impossible for him to ask him to watch it for a while.
Reluctantly put the book back to its original place, and tidied it up cherishedly before leaving.
However, when passing the counter, he hesitated for a moment, and asked politely, "Mr., I see that the notice outside says that students are allowed to copy the books in the building?"
After all, reading a book is just one reading, and no one can remember it. If you want to read it carefully, you still need to take it back and carefully consider every word.
The shopkeeper nodded, "As long as they are books in the library, they are allowed to be transcribed and taken away."
hiss!
Ji Li's breathing almost stopped, "Those...those rare books are also okay?"
The reason why rare books are rare is not only that they are good in content, but also because they are orphans.
The shopkeeper nodded, "Our son said that books should be used for people to read, and it's nothing to hide them. That's why we built this library."
"However, the library also has library rules. The library will provide pen and ink for students who want to transcribe books, but students must transcribe two copies. One can be taken away, and the other needs to be kept in the library."
"Our son said that scholars should know that books and knowledge are hard to come by, and cherish them as soon as they are done."
When Ji Li left, the whole person hadn't reacted yet.
Such a book can not only be read every day, no one will look at him strangely, and no one even cares what book he reads, and they are allowed to copy it.
According to the old man's intention, the books they copied will also be bound into volumes and put on the bookshelf for people to read, so as to prevent many people from copying a book, damaging it, and even disappearing in the end Pity.
When Ji Li left, twenty or so small shopkeepers just happened to enter the library dumbly.
The prince found a teacher for them. After they work every day, before it is dark, they will go to the library and learn Chinese and characters with the teacher for an hour.
A group of twenty or so small shopkeepers can attend classes once or twice a week.
A group of small shopkeepers are very well-behaved. They have heard of other people going to private schools to teach, but they don't know how to teach.
But they know that children from poor families cannot afford to go to school.
But they, starting today, actually have to go to school.
Scholars will be respected.
Ji Li carried the bookcase and returned to his residence.
The membership card in his hand is held carefully, like the most precious treasure in the world.
At this time, a classmate who lived with him couldn't help asking, "Ji Li, where did you go today? You haven't seen anyone all day."
"Today, we went to Li Yuanwai's home to borrow books with some classmates, but Li Yuanwai kicked us out, hey."
Only then did Ji Li come back to his senses, and looked at the sighing classmate, "Actually... there is no need to ask to come to the door."
The classmate was taken aback, "What?"
If you don't ask to come to the door, how can you have a book to read?
Although scholars should have the integrity of scholars, sometimes, in order to read books, they have to suffer a little bit of anger. Who told them that they are poor and cannot afford books themselves, so they can only read other people's books.
Ji Li took out the membership card, he asked the shopkeeper, as long as his family background is clean, he can go there to read books.
Ji Li said, "Wuyi Lane, the Prince of Zhenbei Wangfu opened a shop called library there, there are a lot of books in it, just go there to get a membership card like this, and you can read it there. No matter if you are a poor family or a nobleman, no matter if you are a man or a woman, you can..."
That classmate was dumbfounded, is Ji Li crazy?Where in this world is there such a good thing, such a crazy thing.
Ji Li continued, "Not only that, the library also allows us to transcribe books and take them away. I'm going to bring some paper to transcribe tomorrow. By the way, don't you always want a complete "Gongyang Biography"?" It’s in the library, you can also go to transcribe with me tomorrow, you don’t even need to bring pen and ink, the library will provide it for us for free..."
The classmate named Zhou Zhang has only one feeling now, that Ji Li must be confused.
That's right, I heard that a few days ago, when Ji Li went to borrow books, he was also kicked out. He probably thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night.
Hey.
On the second day, early in the morning, Ji Li took Zhou Zhang to Wuyi Lane together.
Zhou Zhang: "..."
Either way, Ji Li had to see the reality clearly, otherwise he would have to stay in a daze.
It's just that when we arrived at Bird Clothes Lane, there really was a place called the library, which was quite big.
Zhou Zhang was still surprised, so he was pulled in by Ji Li.
Ji Li: "I'm going to transcribe the book, you go get a membership card, the library will only let you in with the membership card."
Zhou Zhang: "..."
I only saw Ji Li showing a small card to the shopkeeper at the counter, and the shopkeeper even handed Ji Li a pen and ink, and then Ji Li went directly to the bookshelf, picked up the book, found a place next to it, and directly copied it. stand up.
No one stopped, no one disturbed, all in one go.
Like an incredible scene, as it should be.
The shopkeeper in front of him: "Young student, do you want to read a book?"
"We need to apply for a membership card to see it here, one or two silver coins a year..."
Zhou Zhang: "..."
When Zhou Zhang held a similar small card with his name written in small letters with hairpin flowers on it, he didn't even come back to his senses.
Walking to Ji Li, he was about to speak.
At this time, Ji Li raised his finger in front of his mouth, "Shh, making noise inside is prohibited."
"The "Legend of Gongyang" you want is on the shelf in the second row of the bookshelf, but I think it will be difficult for you to make a choice after you read it."
Zhou Zhang: "..."
Even though Zhou Zhang got the book he wanted to read from the bookshelf and sat down at the desk, he was still dazed.
They actually...read books in such an environment freely?
No question of origin, only the book in hand.
Zhou Zhang was also as anxious as Ji Li when he first came here.
They are the first to come.
Then, he saw that there was indeed a woman, a noble lady from Beiliang, who also showed her small card, and then walked upstairs.
Not long after, some idle noble teenagers came in, similarly showed their small cards, and then... found a place to sleep on their stomachs, and slept very soundly.
Zhou Zhang: "..."
There were also poor children who were also in a daze, walked to the counter, or humbly or cautiously asked about the authenticity of the content announced outside.
Zhou Zhang quickly shook his head, and glanced at Ji Li who was writing with a smile on his face. It seemed that at this moment he realized that it was not Ji Li who was bewildered, but that he was also bewildered.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng was at Zhao Di's mansion.
"You have a lot of books in your house, do you want to contribute to the scholars in Beiliang?"
"Let me tell you, the business of my new library is booming. It won't be long before Liangjing will be famous."
Zhao Di, who was buried in the official document, raised his head, "How much did you earn?"
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
One hit kill.
Mo Shaoheng: "Right now... I haven't started making money yet, but when there are more people transcribing books for me, I can make money."
Is he someone who can trade at a loss?
Although Zhao Di was not persuaded in the end, when he left, he carried loads of books to Wuyi Lane.
These books are considered to be borrowed by him, and he can return the books when the newly transcribed books are put on the store.
The collection of books in the library has increased a lot.
He still has to go to other mansions to borrow some books. The library is naturally famous for its abundance of books.
Been so busy for a few days.
I did borrow a lot of books.
And the news about the library began to spread, especially among the children from poor families.
In their description, it has become an incredible place.
Mo
"The Story of Yu Niang" is also considered complete, with a content of about 8 words.
In Mo Shaoheng's opinion, it can only be regarded as a short novel, but it is already considered a long novel for this era.
The content is quite rich. A noble lady has experienced unimaginable suffering and twists and turns. Anyway, it is impossible for ordinary people to experience such unlucky things.
But the ending is happyend, the lovers finally get married, they are a pair of enviable gods and couples.
Perhaps the sweetness that comes from bitterness is the real sweetness.
In the past few days, Mo Shaoheng also asked his servants to move the books in the mansion to Bird Clothes Lane.
Grandma came over to see it once.
"It doesn't matter if these books are useful, but if they are placed in our mansion, bookworms will be born."
From the grandmother's point of view, Mo Shaoheng was doing a great deed, something to accumulate virtue, so naturally he would not object.
Mo Shaoheng took "The Legend of Yu Niang" to Bird Clothes Lane.
The library has also been remodeled.
Two floors up and down, spacious and bright.
Because the custom in Beiliang is that men and women have different rooms, Mo Shaoheng dare not break such a strong defense between men and women.
However, providing the upper layer to women and the lower layer to men, Mo Shaoheng can still do such a thing, although in the eyes of Liangjing people, it may be enough to shock the world.
After all, there are strange men and women who come and go, and they seem a little unethical.
When Mo Shaoheng arrived, a sign was being put up in front of the building, and the door plaque with three large characters of "library" made people very confused.
Can't understand what it does at all.
In order to keep the style consistent, Mo Shaoheng still had someone make a banner and put it outside the door, with the word "Book" written on it in big letters.
"Is this a bookstore, a book seller?"
"It should be, Mo Shaoheng actually opened a special bookstore."
"With his talent and learning, many people will definitely come to buy books in admiration."
It can also be a little literary.
Mo Shaoheng did not explain, but entered the building.
There are almost enough bookshelves, tables and stools in the building.
The books brought over from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion were neatly placed on the bookshelves.
Mo Shaoheng went up to the second floor, and put the "Biography of Yu Niang" in his hand in the most conspicuous place.
After thinking about it, it is time to play the role of the library.
Two old stewards who can read and write were transferred in as administrators.
Then, Mo Shaoheng sent an invitation post to the eldest princess Zhao Jinhe, asking her to invite her girl group of hundreds to come to the library to read.
It can also be regarded as a place for them to spend their time.
Of course, on the invitation, be sure to let the eldest princess bring the little girl from Li Hanlin's family.
This little girl caused such a big thing, I am afraid that only the eldest princess can bring her out.
Mo Shaoheng simply waited, sat in the library by himself, took a book, and read it quietly.
I don't know how long it took, but several carriages were parked outside the library.
Zhao Jinhe got off the carriage, looked up at the door plaque, "This is it?"
The invitation card simply said that there is a place to read books to pass the time and invite her to take a look, without going into details.
A few women came down from the carriages behind, and the little girl from Li Hanlin's family was among them, depressed and dull.
They come together.
When I looked up, I didn't understand what the building was for, but I saw the notice posted outside the building.
It is the rule of the library.
The general content is, first, the books in the library can only be borrowed in the building and cannot be taken out.
Second, all the books in the library can be transcribed, but as a price for free transcribing, two copies need to be transcribed, one to take away with oneself, and one to be left in the library.
Third, the library is a membership system, and you need to apply for a membership card to enter.
The following rules are probably the rules of not making noise in the business world and indoors.
"Isn't it a book seller?"
Still have some doubts.
In fact, Mo Shaoheng also sells books, and if there are too many books left behind by disciples from poor families, they need to be sold.
Mo Shaoheng saw Zhao Jinhe and others coming, and went out to welcome him in.
He explained, "It's just a place to read books for leisure, and it's also convenient for poor families to transcribe some books."
Zhao Jinhe smiled and said, "It's interesting."
In the past, they all read books at home, and they had never had the experience of reading books together in one place.
Mo Shaoheng said, "If you have any idle books, you can also put them in the library. When someone copies them, I will return the originals to you. It can also be regarded as a small contribution to my scholars in Beiliang."
Everyone was stunned.
They seem to feel the real usefulness of this library. After all, not everyone is like them, and they have a lot of good books at home.
Besides, if more people leave rubbings of their own books here, the library will develop day by day, and how many books will be collected in the end. I am afraid that no mansion can collect such a complete collection of books.
Mo Shaoheng did indeed intend to do so, after all, his books on Zhenbei Prince's Mansion are still limited.
Mo Shaoheng said, "Go upstairs first. The upstairs is a place for women to read books. If you come later, just go to the second floor. Don't worry."
The library management counter is between the first floor and the second floor, guarded by an old lady and an old gentleman, and they are strictly guarded.
Mo Shaoheng kept Zhao Jinhe behind, and said in a low voice, "On the first shelf upstairs, there is a book called "The Legend of Yu Niang". You should find a way to hand it to the little girl from Li Hanlin's family."
Zhao Jinhe was taken aback for a moment. She was wondering why she had to bring the little girl from Li Hanlin's family with her. You must know that as a man, Mo Shaoheng would be somewhat inappropriate to invite a noble girl privately. Not everyone is like Like her, she doesn't care about these at all.
Mo Shaoheng whispered, "That book can cure that little girl's illness."
Zhao Jinhe nodded, so that's the case, she looked at the little girl pitifully, and she became demented, but she couldn't listen to her persuasion, and now she can only help as much as she can.
Mo Shaoheng didn't follow him upstairs, because the old lady at the counter kept staring at him, implying that the son is also a man.
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
This administrator is competent.
Go back to the book he hasn't finished.
Zhao Jinhe waited upstairs, but no one introduced him, but the furnishings in the building were clear at a glance, and he seemed to know how to use all the functions just by looking at them.
Several people walked towards the bookshelf, looking at the neatly arranged books on it.
"It is convenient to find and read."
The title of the book is self-explanatory.
If you are interested in any book, just pick it up yourself.
Quite novel, indeed a good place to read.
Zhao Jinhe walked to the first shelf and saw "The Legend of Yu Niang" at first sight without having to look for it, because the other books were all neatly placed, but this one was placed on the top very scatteredly.
Can it cure the little girl's illness?
Zhao Jinhe couldn't help turning to the first page, and looked at the proverbs.
"All my life, Yu Niang, I only want to marry the person I like..."
Zhao Jinhe's heart trembled, as if something had struck her soul.
What kind of woman is it that dares to say such words bravely.
You know, if this is the case, I am afraid that someone will say it, and I have no shame.
Women never get married by themselves.
Just like her, in order not to get married, she just said a few words, and directly became the existence that all men avoid, like some existence that cannot be tolerated in the world. The reason to slander her is because of her noble status.
I was also a little puzzled, this book didn't look like a classic of sages, but more like a storybook.
Just as I was about to read on, at this time, the other ladies had already chosen their books.
"Your Highness, it's good for us to sit next to it and watch it. The tables and stools next to it look rather novel."
Zhao Jinhe nodded, chose another book on the bookshelf, and then walked over.
The little lady of Li Hanlin's family, like a lost soul, just sat there in a daze, without choosing a book in her hand, which made people feel distressed.
Zhao Jinhe passed the "Biography of Yu Niang" over, "I happened to take an extra copy, let's see if it suits your taste."
Then sat down.
The table and chairs in this library are indeed strange. There is a strange board on the table, and the slope of the board can be adjusted by placing books on it.
I feel like reading a book has become more leisurely.
A little surprised.Such a board for each person and one book also keeps a certain distance between each other, even if it is full of people, it seems that they will not interfere with each other.
It is indeed a good place to read a book, and it seems good to sit here when you are free.
Zhao Jinhe is also observing the little girl of Li Hanlin's family.
The little girl was holding the book in a daze, flipping it open like a puppet, and didn't even adjust the interesting board on which the book was placed.
It's just that, with an obviously infatuated expression, he was obviously taken aback when he turned the pages of the book.
No one could persuade her to go in, and the little girl who lost her soul actually reacted.
Perhaps this is why Mo Shaoheng said that this book can cure diseases.
However, she only read one proverb, and she didn't know what was written in the book.
Can not help but pay more attention to it.
It was quite amazing to see that little girl concentrating on watching for a moment.
But after a while, the little girl frowned, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The little girl from Li Hanlin's family was named Li Xiangning, and when she looked at the book in her hand, her heart ached.
This noble girl named Yu Niang is too pitiful.
How could she experience so many twists and turns one after another, and how could she be surrounded by such vicious relatives and friends.
How can she get rid of this unfair fate in such a situation.
She used to think that she was too miserable, but now compared with Yu Niang in the book, her experience is nothing.
In fact, she is quite lucky, although everyone blames her, saying that she doesn't know what to do, and her father sometimes scolds her in anger, but at least her father is still trying to find a way around, in order to break the engagement for her, humbly, At least I still feel sorry for her a little bit.
Unlike Yu Niang, her parents even wished to sell their daughter in order to advance in the officialdom.
It was so pitiful, I couldn't bear the distress, and the tears kept falling.
But she couldn't help watching, because every time there was a tribulation, when she saw no way out, and she didn't even have the courage to live, there was a little turn for the better.
People can't help but see if Yu Niang can seize this opportunity to turn the situation around.
She even shouted in her heart, Yu Niang, she must overcome the difficulties and live on.
Before he knew it, he didn't know whether the cry was for Yu Niang in the book or for herself.
Zhao Jinhe was confused. What's the matter with this little girl? Tears flowed from sadness for a while, and she smiled like a sigh of relief.
The other girls also noticed the situation, because Li Xiangning sobbed too sadly when she cried, and it was too sad when she laughed.
Can't help but look at Zhao Jinhe, what's going on?There should be no problem, right?
Zhao Jinhe also hurriedly asked, "Xiang Ning, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable staying here, I'll send you back."
Li Xiangning actually raised her head and replied, "It's fine."
Several people:"……"
A piece of wood that lost its soul actually responded to the outside world's questioning.
Holding the book, she even showed a smile like a rainbow after the rain, because she happened to see Yu Niang in the book going through another ordeal.
That smile made people feel a little distracted, obviously there were still wet tears on the eyebrows.
Li Xiangning buried her head and looked at it again. Yu Niang has experienced those heart-scratching twists and turns in the early stage, and now she has written that Yu Niang met the son of the noble family who came to the mansion for a banquet. Feeling sorry for Yu Niang.
But how could this be possible, it was not in accordance with etiquette, but why did he hope that this noble young master could take Yu Niang to escape from this devil's lair and live a happy life.
Zhao Jinhe and others: "..."
You look at me, I look at you, what is the magic of this book?
People upstairs were reading books, while Mo Shaoheng downstairs also welcomed a new visitor.
Zhao Jingcheng and a few other students stretched their heads to look inside.
Now that there is a new shop in Bird Clothes Lane, Zhao Jingcheng and other students are definitely the first to come here to hunt for novelties.
Seeing Mo Shaoheng reading a book inside, Zhao Jingcheng and others hurried inside.
Mo Shaoheng pointed to the notice hanging at the door, "No noise is allowed indoors."
"Are you also reading?" Mo Shaoheng asked, and it was clearly stated in the notice that this is a place for reading and transcribing books.
Zhao Jingcheng didn't know why, but actually lowered his voice, like a thief, "What do you mean? We are also scholars."
Why can't they read the book?
Mo Shaoheng also smiled, "Now do you know that you are a scholar?"
Let me read on weekdays, just like the neck of a knife holder.
Mo Shaoheng didn't say anything, and pointed to the bookshelf, "Go pick out a book by yourself, find a place to sit down and read it at ease, and remember not to make any noise."
Zhao Jingcheng looked at the room, his eyes rolled around, this place looks so weird.
Then he pretended to pick up books, held several books in his hands, ran to the seat, and played with the wooden board where the books were placed.
Then put the book on top neatly, looking like a scholar.
It's just that his annoying eyes looked at this and that, but he didn't seem to calm down.
Mo Shaoheng doesn't care about these students, as long as they don't make noise, there are not many people who doze off in any library.
First floor, facing the street.
From time to time, passersby pass by and take a look inside through the half-opened windows.
I saw several students including Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Jingcheng reading books.
"Since when is there a school here?"
"But it doesn't seem like it's teaching."
It's a weird building.
At this time, a scholar from a poor family passed by with a book box.
This person's name is Ji Li, and his family is poor, but he especially likes to read, and he has quite a literary name.
He glanced at the door plaque, "Library?"
I don't understand.
But he was also taken aback because he saw the posted announcement.
"Available for students to copy and transcribe books?"
The footsteps could not help but stop.
A poor student like him went to borrow books from other people's houses. How should I put it? If others are willing to borrow books, it is naturally good, but if others are not willing, it is really embarrassing.
But there is no way, books are too expensive, and they can't afford many books.
And copying books, no matter how much you cherish them, if you copy too much, the books will be depreciated. Therefore, after borrowing books once or twice in many mansions, they are unwilling to borrow them again.
Children from poor families like them can't bring much benefit to others, and unless they are really kind-hearted people, they won't lend books to them.
Ji Li could not help but stop.
Looking in through the window, I vaguely saw a few noble teenagers scratching their skins and reading books, especially the little fat man, with his whole chin on the table, his eyes drowsy, saying that he was sleeping, but not It's completely true. To say that he is reading a book is nonsense. I'm afraid that after reading a book like this, he will just go through it in his head, and he probably won't remember anything after reading it.
Are all nobles?
Ji Li hesitated for a moment, then looked at the notice again.
After a while, he finally couldn't hold back and walked into the building.
After all, it is necessary to ask.
If you can really read some books, even if you lose face once, it will be worth it.
When Ji Li walked in, he immediately felt that the quietness inside the building was very different from the outside.
Then glanced at it, and immediately noticed the bookshelves.
There are many books of...
Even if they go to borrow books from other people's homes, there are only one or two books at most.
With a sigh in my heart, I must have missed the children of their poor family.
At this time, the old man on the counter who looked like a shopkeeper said, "But come to the library to read?"
Ji Li was taken aback for a moment, but still hadn't reacted.
The old man took out a brochure, "If you want to read books, you need to register as a member of the library with me. Only members can enter our library."
Ji Li: "..."
Didn't ask for his name post?
This name post is like a nobleman's status, it is a token to identify a person's family background.
Instead, what members?
The old man asked again, "Are you here to read?"
Ji Li nodded reflexively, then realized that he was about to speak.
As a result, the old man had already immersed himself in writing, "The annual membership fee is one tael of silver."
"I need to do a registration, name, where is the person?"
Ji Li thought to himself, as expected, he still wants to be a nobleman.
In fact, the reason why Mo Shaoheng asked to register these things was because the people who came to the library were so messy and there were women, so it was better to have a clean family. Anyone who commits crimes would definitely not do it.
Seeing that Ji Li didn't answer, the shopkeeper couldn't help but raised his head and looked over suspiciously.
Ji Li was quite generous and decent, and performed the etiquette of a scholar, "Students come from poor families..."
The shopkeeper said directly, "That's not what I'm asking, I need your basic information to apply for a membership card for you."
"With the membership card, you can come in to read books at any time when our library is open. The period is one year. After one year, if you still want to read books, you need to renew the fee. It is still one or two silver a year."
A tael of silver is nothing to the nobles, and it is not too much or too much for the poor.
Ji Li was really confused, didn't he ask about his family background?
Before he could react, the shopkeeper started asking him his name, where he was from, and even asked him for a household registration document.
The household registration document is the same as the modern ID card, which can be regarded as a process of identifying the person.
When Ji Li reacted, the shopkeeper had already handed over a very delicate small sign, with his name written on it in small letters with hairpin flowers, and a serial number on the back.
"This is your membership card, you keep it, and you only need to show it to read books in the future."
"By the way, our library is divided into two floors. The upper floor is exclusively for women in Beiliang. Men are not allowed to go upstairs. If there is any violation, report to the official immediately."
Ji Li couldn't believe what membership fee he had paid and what membership card he was holding in his hand.
"So... I can read books in the next year? All the books on the shelves?"
God, how many books there must be.
In the past, he would be happy for a long time when he borrowed a book.
The shopkeeper replied, "As long as it is within business hours, you can use your membership card. This is a library, a place open to readers."
Ji Li: "..."
Holding the membership card, which in his opinion is no longer a matter of a tael of silver, he walked towards the bookshelf.
The noble boys were still looking at him with interest.
But he didn't say anything, and no one scolded him.
It seems that there is no...rejection for the entry of a child from a poor family. This is very strange. There have always been circles from poor families, and circles from nobles. It is rare for them to mix together like now.
He even saw Mo Shaoheng sitting in the corner without looking up.
My heart trembled, Immortal Linjiang!
If you want to say that there are scholars in Liangjing, there are probably no people who don't know Linjiang Xian, what a brilliant literary talent, and the beauty of Beiliang.
He, the number one talented person in Beiliang, is actually reading here!
And he, like Immortal Linjiang, can sit here and read a book?
When I walked to the bookshelf and got closer, I realized that there are really many books.
Unlike Zhao Jingcheng, who was half-filled with water, his hands trembled involuntarily when he looked at the books on the bookshelf.
In addition to the subset of poems and books of the sages, many books that he could not borrow even if he wanted to copy them, there are even some rare books from the former dynasty.
Such a book, just a tael of silver, can't even be touched.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
My heart trembled violently.
The only problem is that there are so many books that he really wants to read, and now that they are suddenly placed in front of him, he doesn't know how to choose.
It was difficult to pick a rare book. Really, when he came across that book, he was a little afraid to reach out.
Take the book and walk to the seat next to you.
No one cares about him. It seems that no one here cares whether he is a nobleman or a poor family. He just needs to choose and read books by himself, that's all.
Like, it's just a place to read.
That's good too, because if someone comes to strike up a conversation now, he's afraid he'll be so nervous.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ji Li breathed a sigh of relief, put the book on the strange board, and learned to adjust a slope that is convenient for reading.
I looked around and looked around.
It's just that he couldn't read such a precious book today.
He also knew why.
Will he be able to read books here in the next year?
Library, is this a library?
At this time, it seemed that someone came down from upstairs.
It's a woman, a noble woman from Beiliang, but what makes people puzzled is that the eyes of these women... are all swollen from crying.
What's going on here?Didn't you say that the second floor is also a place to read books?Why did I cry like this while reading a book?
However, don't look at evil, Ji Li quickly lowered his head.
Zhao Jinhe waited for a few people to come down, and Mo Shaoheng greeted him, "Would you like to watch for a while?"
Zhao Jinhe felt a little resentful, "I wanted to stay longer, but..."
A group of girls were crying, disturbing the peace of reading, somewhat embarrassed.
"We just got into the carriage to rectify our emotions, and then come in when we recover. It's not really leaving now."
They haven't seen the end of "The Story of Yu Niang", so they are reluctant to leave.
Then why is Yu Niang so distressing, but also so strong, as if no tribulation can defeat her, she has clearly experienced one after another, in their opinion, unimaginable tribulations one after another.
I was fascinated by it for a while, and my soul was fascinated by it, as if they had transformed into Yu Niang in the book.
Unable to stop crying, they went downstairs to calm down together, and then came back to continue watching, so as not to make a joke.
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
The woman is really sentimental, which is too empathetic.
Fortunately, what he wrote was happy end's cool articles, and they all looked like tearful people.
Did he succeed as a cool writer, or did he fail?
Let them go out to relax now.
Mo Shaoheng also glanced at Li Xiangning of Li Hanlin's family, his eyes were swollen badly, but there was a light in his eyes.
The effect should still be there, no matter what, it's better than being immersed in one's own demonic obstacles.
When she sees the ending, it should heal some pain.
Mo Shaoheng took out the membership card with his name written on it from the counter, "This is the membership card of the library. You can use this card to read books here when I'm not around in the future."
Rules are rules, and the library cannot be a place to come and go casually, this is also to protect them.
Of course, the membership fee is waived, and he can still afford it.
It's a beautiful little card that can be carried anywhere, which is pretty.
Several women walked out, and they could still hear the voices discussing the plot, "Yu Niang's life is too hard, how could her parents be so cruel."
"I don't know if the noble son can help Yu Niang escape from the sea of suffering."
"I'm afraid it won't work. Yu Niang is engaged to someone else, and her parents are eager to sell her. Even if the young master and her treat each other sincerely, there will be no result."
"But... it's annoying, and I don't know who wrote this story. Every time I get desperate, I turn around again, but I always have regrets..."
The sound goes away.
Zhao Jingcheng and the others muttered in low voices, "What kind of books are they reading? What kind of poor Yu Niang?"
"It still looks pretty good."
His eyes looked at Nan Yi who was sleeping on the table.
Nan Banban drooped his eyelids, "It's nothing to watch, it's all bloody drama, it's so weird, I've only watched it five times, and I can figure out the routines clearly."
Several people:"……"
Mo Shaoheng came in and knocked on the tables of several people, "Quiet, I don't know the rules, I don't see anyone reading a book."
Ji Li really couldn't see it at first, but after all, he is a scholar who loves to read, so he gradually immersed himself in it.
Of course, it is also because the treasure he selected is indeed worth reading.
It's like forgetting everything outside, reading a book quietly, the years are quiet, but that's all.
Until, the treasurer who manages the library came to remind him, "Young student, our business hours are up today. If you want to read books, come back tomorrow."
Ji Li raised his head and looked out the window, unknowingly it was really almost evening.
Although it's a pity, I should still be able to watch it for a while, but it's closed, so it's impossible for him to ask him to watch it for a while.
Reluctantly put the book back to its original place, and tidied it up cherishedly before leaving.
However, when passing the counter, he hesitated for a moment, and asked politely, "Mr., I see that the notice outside says that students are allowed to copy the books in the building?"
After all, reading a book is just one reading, and no one can remember it. If you want to read it carefully, you still need to take it back and carefully consider every word.
The shopkeeper nodded, "As long as they are books in the library, they are allowed to be transcribed and taken away."
hiss!
Ji Li's breathing almost stopped, "Those...those rare books are also okay?"
The reason why rare books are rare is not only that they are good in content, but also because they are orphans.
The shopkeeper nodded, "Our son said that books should be used for people to read, and it's nothing to hide them. That's why we built this library."
"However, the library also has library rules. The library will provide pen and ink for students who want to transcribe books, but students must transcribe two copies. One can be taken away, and the other needs to be kept in the library."
"Our son said that scholars should know that books and knowledge are hard to come by, and cherish them as soon as they are done."
When Ji Li left, the whole person hadn't reacted yet.
Such a book can not only be read every day, no one will look at him strangely, and no one even cares what book he reads, and they are allowed to copy it.
According to the old man's intention, the books they copied will also be bound into volumes and put on the bookshelf for people to read, so as to prevent many people from copying a book, damaging it, and even disappearing in the end Pity.
When Ji Li left, twenty or so small shopkeepers just happened to enter the library dumbly.
The prince found a teacher for them. After they work every day, before it is dark, they will go to the library and learn Chinese and characters with the teacher for an hour.
A group of twenty or so small shopkeepers can attend classes once or twice a week.
A group of small shopkeepers are very well-behaved. They have heard of other people going to private schools to teach, but they don't know how to teach.
But they know that children from poor families cannot afford to go to school.
But they, starting today, actually have to go to school.
Scholars will be respected.
Ji Li carried the bookcase and returned to his residence.
The membership card in his hand is held carefully, like the most precious treasure in the world.
At this time, a classmate who lived with him couldn't help asking, "Ji Li, where did you go today? You haven't seen anyone all day."
"Today, we went to Li Yuanwai's home to borrow books with some classmates, but Li Yuanwai kicked us out, hey."
Only then did Ji Li come back to his senses, and looked at the sighing classmate, "Actually... there is no need to ask to come to the door."
The classmate was taken aback, "What?"
If you don't ask to come to the door, how can you have a book to read?
Although scholars should have the integrity of scholars, sometimes, in order to read books, they have to suffer a little bit of anger. Who told them that they are poor and cannot afford books themselves, so they can only read other people's books.
Ji Li took out the membership card, he asked the shopkeeper, as long as his family background is clean, he can go there to read books.
Ji Li said, "Wuyi Lane, the Prince of Zhenbei Wangfu opened a shop called library there, there are a lot of books in it, just go there to get a membership card like this, and you can read it there. No matter if you are a poor family or a nobleman, no matter if you are a man or a woman, you can..."
That classmate was dumbfounded, is Ji Li crazy?Where in this world is there such a good thing, such a crazy thing.
Ji Li continued, "Not only that, the library also allows us to transcribe books and take them away. I'm going to bring some paper to transcribe tomorrow. By the way, don't you always want a complete "Gongyang Biography"?" It’s in the library, you can also go to transcribe with me tomorrow, you don’t even need to bring pen and ink, the library will provide it for us for free..."
The classmate named Zhou Zhang has only one feeling now, that Ji Li must be confused.
That's right, I heard that a few days ago, when Ji Li went to borrow books, he was also kicked out. He probably thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night.
Hey.
On the second day, early in the morning, Ji Li took Zhou Zhang to Wuyi Lane together.
Zhou Zhang: "..."
Either way, Ji Li had to see the reality clearly, otherwise he would have to stay in a daze.
It's just that when we arrived at Bird Clothes Lane, there really was a place called the library, which was quite big.
Zhou Zhang was still surprised, so he was pulled in by Ji Li.
Ji Li: "I'm going to transcribe the book, you go get a membership card, the library will only let you in with the membership card."
Zhou Zhang: "..."
I only saw Ji Li showing a small card to the shopkeeper at the counter, and the shopkeeper even handed Ji Li a pen and ink, and then Ji Li went directly to the bookshelf, picked up the book, found a place next to it, and directly copied it. stand up.
No one stopped, no one disturbed, all in one go.
Like an incredible scene, as it should be.
The shopkeeper in front of him: "Young student, do you want to read a book?"
"We need to apply for a membership card to see it here, one or two silver coins a year..."
Zhou Zhang: "..."
When Zhou Zhang held a similar small card with his name written in small letters with hairpin flowers on it, he didn't even come back to his senses.
Walking to Ji Li, he was about to speak.
At this time, Ji Li raised his finger in front of his mouth, "Shh, making noise inside is prohibited."
"The "Legend of Gongyang" you want is on the shelf in the second row of the bookshelf, but I think it will be difficult for you to make a choice after you read it."
Zhou Zhang: "..."
Even though Zhou Zhang got the book he wanted to read from the bookshelf and sat down at the desk, he was still dazed.
They actually...read books in such an environment freely?
No question of origin, only the book in hand.
Zhou Zhang was also as anxious as Ji Li when he first came here.
They are the first to come.
Then, he saw that there was indeed a woman, a noble lady from Beiliang, who also showed her small card, and then walked upstairs.
Not long after, some idle noble teenagers came in, similarly showed their small cards, and then... found a place to sleep on their stomachs, and slept very soundly.
Zhou Zhang: "..."
There were also poor children who were also in a daze, walked to the counter, or humbly or cautiously asked about the authenticity of the content announced outside.
Zhou Zhang quickly shook his head, and glanced at Ji Li who was writing with a smile on his face. It seemed that at this moment he realized that it was not Ji Li who was bewildered, but that he was also bewildered.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng was at Zhao Di's mansion.
"You have a lot of books in your house, do you want to contribute to the scholars in Beiliang?"
"Let me tell you, the business of my new library is booming. It won't be long before Liangjing will be famous."
Zhao Di, who was buried in the official document, raised his head, "How much did you earn?"
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
One hit kill.
Mo Shaoheng: "Right now... I haven't started making money yet, but when there are more people transcribing books for me, I can make money."
Is he someone who can trade at a loss?
Although Zhao Di was not persuaded in the end, when he left, he carried loads of books to Wuyi Lane.
These books are considered to be borrowed by him, and he can return the books when the newly transcribed books are put on the store.
The collection of books in the library has increased a lot.
He still has to go to other mansions to borrow some books. The library is naturally famous for its abundance of books.
Been so busy for a few days.
I did borrow a lot of books.
And the news about the library began to spread, especially among the children from poor families.
In their description, it has become an incredible place.
Mo
