Dress to be a celebrity

With the new wax block with dots, the technical difficulty of engraving is almost solved:

In the past, everyone was only worried that the dots would not be aligned, and the printed layout would look messy, but with this new set of wax paper, they only need to click on the corresponding dots when they should be engraved.And those red dots can also be used as a grid. This kind of manuscript paper needs to write two lines of characters in one grid. The writer should consider the fat, thin, left and right when writing the pen. But "follow the heart and do not exceed the rules", which can save a lot of effort.

After receiving the two engraved wax plates and the pre-printed manuscripts, the common people were very pleasantly surprised. Even if Teacher Song gave them a job to print out the sample manuscripts by themselves, none of them resisted.

They have been printing the manuscript for at least a few months, and they are familiar with it, but it is much better than holding a ruler and pointing one by one when engraving the block, rather than measuring the engraving.

As expected of Song Sanyuan who can make mandarin duck rulers, he pays attention to precise measurement in everything he does!

Thirty ordinary people even boasted about the boss who gave them extra work. Without any sense of being squeezed, they printed the manuscript paper happily, measuring the line formed by the vermilion dots on the paper with their eyes, and calculating their own engraving in their hearts. How to write when writing.

Boss Song, who has a lot of experience in meetings, led them to a working meeting and assigned the task of printing the catalog:

One volume of "Book of Filial Piety", five volumes of "Four Books", eight volumes of "Book of Songs", ten volumes of "Book of Songs", ten volumes of "Book of Rites", eleven volumes of "Spring and Autumn", twelve volumes of "Book of Changes"... six The ten volumes of "Tongjian Compendium", together with a total of 117 volumes, are in the hands of thirty common people on average, and each person has to sort out four catalogs.

As for himself, he has to be responsible for progress management and quality supervision, and has no time to do basic work himself.

Teacher Song shook his head with emotion, set up the small blackboard, erased part of the content of the previous meeting, and continued to write on the blackboard with chalk. The 30 people were then divided into [-] groups to check each other as a unit; after that, the order of the manuscripts was also disordered, and each person picked out four books at random for inspection; the person in charge brought only The lucky one who needs to check a book is responsible for the full check.

When the table of contents of these more than one hundred volumes is clearly written, and the format and page numbers are correct, the new manuscript paper printed today should be soaked in wax and dried thoroughly, and then sent to everyone for printing.

The crowd of concubines listened carefully to his arrangement, and they had no objection to anything else, but felt that there were too many checks—they were all child prodigies, and they had never forgotten their pictures since they were young, and they didn’t add anything to their writing. check?Everything handed in must be correct!

Everyone agrees, and they all ask Teacher Song to trust them and check them less often.

Song Shi heard their voices getting louder and wanted to argue with himself, so he clapped his hands twice, and said solemnly: "When we entered the Imperial Academy, the academicians had already started to study the "Da Dian", although you spent most of the same year studying or studying with the bachelors. Follow me to practice calligraphy and block engraving, but I should also have seen the scene of revising the grand canon. I have seen the seniors turn over and revise the book for a sentence, a word, a year number, and a date. Are those seniors in the Imperial Academy not as talented as you and me? , memory is not as good as you and me?"

Although Shu Jishi always walked sideways in this capital, and dared not give way to the carriages of the ministers and ministers, but they couldn't do so in the Imperial Academy—because the seniors were all from ordinary backgrounds, and The top three in the calendar examination.Let's talk about their backgrounds, these Shujishi are superior in front of ordinary Jinshi, but they don't have the confidence in front of senior Hanlin.

If it was the top three, they could still beat the champions of previous years, but unfortunately they were not in the top three, but they were facing the top three. The gold content of the champions was also the highest, so they could only be convinced.

When Song Shi saw that they were being honest, he changed his words and encouraged: "Although our catalog is not included in the "Da Dian", it was designated by the Holy One to be accompanied by a book as a gift to His Highness the King of Zhou. When compiling, we should learn from our predecessors. If there is even the slightest error and people pick out the fault, what face do you and I have to stay in the Imperial Academy?"

If it wasn't for King Zhou being exiled from the palace, which is not a good thing to celebrate, he should really promise a banquet as a reward to show everyone's enthusiasm for work.

Fortunately, in this day and age, the royal family is supreme. These aristocrats remembered that they were cataloging the king of Zhou, and there was no need to add material rewards. Their spiritual satisfaction drove them to work hard overtime.

Manager Song was pleased to accompany them to work overtime for ten days, and printed out five sets of exquisite and neat catalogs - hand over a few more sets for spares, in case there is loss in the binding, and they have to be reprinted to make up.Anyway, only the engraving is more troublesome, and the subsequent printing is all mechanical labor. The Shuji people in the museum are all young people in their 30s and [-]s, and it is not difficult to do these jobs.

In the Song Dynasty, after checking again and again, it was confirmed that there were no misprints, no oil stains, no ink leakage, etc., and then sorted out these catalogs separately, pasted them with thick paper and packed them in document bags. Bachelor's hands.

Zeng Qi was also a cautious person, so he took out a few copies and checked them against the book.After seeing that the paper was printed cleanly and neatly, and the summary and the number of pages were correct, he put it back into the document bag, wrapped the rope around the bag around the copper button nailed on the bag body, looked at the bag and smiled: "This bag looks back. Just seal it with wax, why bother. You are a man who can make needlework for these women, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Song Shi said with a smile: "Students always have to give these to the teacher to read before sealing them, but I am afraid that if they take the bag upside down by mistake, the printed manuscript inside will fall out, and some will get dirty and messed up. Besides, in this paper bag It’s not too troublesome to put a button on the mouth, and the students can do it easily, it’s not worth finding someone else to do it for such a trivial matter, and it’s also a waste of time.”

Such a big living person is not handicapped, can he still do handicrafts?

He is very satisfied with his hands-on ability, but Xueshi Zeng is not very satisfied with his living conditions: "There is no female family member in your family to help you do these things, and you are asked to learn needlework by a man? This, alas, even though you and Huan now Qian Xian is good, but there should be someone in the family to preside over Zhongfu, otherwise how can a man afford to live?"

Not one man, but two.

Although Huan Ling doesn't know how to host the Zhongfu, he is quite virtuous, and he can be regarded as a sweetheart if he can make do...and he can also massage.

He thought about it for a while, put away the satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, and said solemnly: "Teacher, don't worry, both of us have family members who can make clothes. I just want to hand over the manuscript to the teacher earlier. Handy made these bags."

His teacher lived for dozens of years, but still can't see his expression?Shaking his head helplessly, he sighed: "You are just young... Forget it, it's never too late for a man to marry a wife. It's just that you keep procrastinating, and you still have no children at such a young age. Aren't you afraid that your parents will worry?"

Huan Ling has no parents, not even his grandfather is in Beijing, but Song Shi has both parents here, don't his parents urge him?

He also received many people's posts and wanted to propose marriage to Song Shi, but he used his father's failure to return to Beijing as an excuse to decline the matter. When his father Shijing, he caught up with the second king's selection of concubines, and he and Huan Ling were in the Jinluan Hall. Mutual promise for life...

Those posts are still gathering dust in his house, and they haven't been sent yet!

Teacher Zeng said with emotion: "You are still young now, and you don't know the importance of marrying a wife and having children. After two years, when you see other people's families full of children and grandchildren, but your knees are empty, you will know that you regret it!"

Song Shi listened to him honestly, with a sincere face, but he didn't really take it to heart.

Since graduating from university in his previous life, the regular project of returning to his hometown every year for the New Year is to urge marriage.None of their cousins ​​could run away, and the seven aunts and eight aunts came together, and they gave birth as soon as they were urged to marry, forcing him to practice the ability to turn a deaf ear and never repent.

Back then, he was able to withstand a room full of elders urging them to marry, but now what is it that only a teacher urges them to give birth?Even his parents are not afraid of giving birth!Anyway, there are many nephews and nieces, regardless of gender, wouldn't it be enough to have one under his name?Anyway, their family doesn't separate, and they just change their names on the memorial tablet. Brothers and sisters-in-law wouldn't be reluctant, right?

If you really don't want to part with it, let the nephew share the two houses, and give him a grandson after giving birth.

He gave Xueshi Zeng a lesson, but he brought the issue of heirs to his heart—isn't urging marriage just to have children?If he even has children, what does it matter if he gets married or not?What else can teachers and elders in the family urge him to do?

Anyway, the job of cataloging Zhou Wangyin was over, and he didn't have to stay in the courtyard to work overtime, so he simply rode back to Song's house after work.

When his mother heard that he was back, she slapped her thighs with joy, and said with a radiant face: "Call him in quickly. I haven't been home for many days. You know, our family married a Hanlin to come in, and we have paid homage to our ancestors. Those who knew should have thought that our Shi Guaner barged in the door backwards!"

Mrs. Ji brought the mirror to help the mistress remake her makeup, and while combing her hair, she echoed and said, "Isn't that the truth? The Huan family's house is empty now, how many people can take care of them? What kind of medicine does Shiguaner want to live in? Forget it, the glass hasn't been burned these days, and they don't make medicine, so there is no place for them to live at home, so why live in someone else's house."

Complaining, the two hurriedly shaved their heads and put on powder evenly. Seeing their son coming in to salute, without dragging a man or daughter-in-law by their side, they were indescribably at ease.The old lady pulled him onto the kang, and asked with a smile, "Why did you come back alone? Why don't you leave? Will the younger brother of the Huan family come to live in a while?"

Song Shi greeted the two mothers, sat down quietly and answered: "I'm just looking for a loan from my mother. He is busy with work these days and comes home late, so I came over directly after I left the office. Find someone to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to send him a letter, telling him to go home and rest at night without waiting for me. By the way, mother, why aren't the eldest and second brothers here?"

His mother said: "They are the elder brothers of Duke Zhuangyuan. Talented people are invited to this meeting and that meeting every day. They are busier than your Hanlin. Don't worry about them. You live in Huan's house these days in a cold and cold way. You should suffer. Look at this skinny little face. My mother asked someone to make a donkey meat pot for you, stew a soup of mutton, and you eat more to strengthen your body."

Song Shi touched his nose, his face was a little hot, and he lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "I didn't suffer anything, it's not because of this tired and thin person, it's just that I'm rushing to print books for King Zhou these days, and it's easy to lose flesh when I'm busy. "

Mrs. Fan said "Oh": "You haven't started making your medicine yet, are you waiting for those glassware? Then the Huihui mother will urge your elder brother for you."

It turned out that Mother gave him donkey meat with sauce and stewed mutton for him, not for nourishing the kidneys... Alas, it was because his thoughts were too impure, no, it was mainly because he was so close to ink these days, and his life was not pure enough, which affected his original simplicity and purity. way of thinking.

Song Shi was shaking the pot, but his face became hotter and hotter uncontrollably. Even his aunt could see that his earlobes and neck were red, so she hurriedly came up to him and asked him, "What's the matter with the heat in this room? You are a young man with strong firepower." , sit on the top of the kang!"

It's not a matter of whether the kang is on the top or not on the kang...

He rubbed his face, forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, I just came back from riding a horse outside, and it was blown by the wind. Auntie, please sit at ease. Is the chair cushion that someone brought me a few days ago okay to sit on? Mother, sit on the kang There is also a cushion to lean against the waist, which is more comfortable than the welcome chair."

He said a few words to hide his embarrassment, and it happened that his father came back, and his brothers came back for dinner again. He went up to greet him, and the whole family sat around and had a reunion dinner.During the meal, he stared at the three nephews, and when the children went back to do their homework, he mentioned his intentions to his father and brothers: "I want to adopt a nephew or niece to my knees, and inherit the incense in the next hundred years. "

……

His father slapped the table, and asked angrily: "You and Huan Ling live together as soon as you get together. You have crossed the road in front of the emperor, and your father can't control it, but do you really want to be serious?" Take him as a daughter-in-law, because he no longer takes wives and concubines?"

If he doesn't give birth to you, can't you take a concubine? You are going to adopt a son at a young age?

Song Shi straightened up after hearing his father finish the mess, and said to the two brothers and sisters-in-law: "Actually, our brothers don't separate families, and my family... can't see the child, and definitely won't take the child over." Let him live with me. Just change the name on the genealogy, let the ancestors know that my fireworks are not broken, and the children will still call their brothers and sisters father and mother, and I will be called uncle."

There are not too many of them in the third generation, and the eldest son cannot adopt him. If the eldest brother and sister-in-law are not willing to adopt the youngest son to him, then adopt a niece—give him the daughter, and then they will recruit a son-in-law to live at home and see each other every day It will be inconvenient to go back to her mother's house in the future because she will save her parents.

This is very touching.

His eldest brother and sister-in-law only had two sons, and they were reluctant to give him the spoiled youngest son, so they could only call him uncle and aunt from now on; and the daughter born to the second brother's family will marry someone in the future, and I don't know where it will end up. It's better to recruit a relative at home.Although finding a son-in-law is not as good as getting married, but in Song Dynasty, he was a celebrity of the third yuan and the first rank, who was seen only once in a hundred years. As the only child of his family, the husband he found might not be worse than his niece marrying...

Song Shi had already confessed his thoughts, and the two brothers and sisters-in-law also had their own plans in their hearts, but their father was still scolding his son, yelling and cursing echoed in the hall, and finally it was their mother who spoke out in person, and finally turned her husband's arrogance intolerable. pressed down.

"After all, Mr. Huan is a son of everyone. Seeing that he is a high-ranking official and has a relationship with our family, we are officials who live with others. We can't just marry a wife and have children. But the matter of adoption is not the same. I'm in a hurry, won't it be the rest day in two days? When the time comes, you can take Huan Ling to the temple to ask you how old you two should be to have a child... If you don't have any biological children by then, don't think about getting married. matter!"

His mother meant that the newlyweds went to the temple to pray for a child together?

The classic romantic scenes of countless TV dramas suddenly came to mind, making him unconsciously look down at his lower abdomen——according to the usual doi habits of the two of them, it seems that he is the one who should be born...

No no, forget it, let him go to the temple by himself.The king of Zhou went to the temple to ask for a son by himself, so he didn't need to care about the birth?
