Chapter 58 The Folding Fan (Thanks to the leader Sofia Ruobing)
Liu Jinglian read three chapters of "Zan Xue", "Wu Ben" and "Li Li" before closing the book. Wang Fu's book has an obvious tendency to be parallel to the common people, with various quotations from classics, spanning many fields, and detailed content.
From the perspective of today's people, it can be called "profound" to hit the shortcomings of the times.
However, Liu Jing came from modern times after all. In his opinion, the so-called "profoundness" in "The Theory of Qianfu" is still a million miles away. You can read it when you have time, but forget it when you have no time.
Liu Jing would rather read the "Book of Songs", "Zuo Zhuan" and "Three Histories" several times more. These are the books that are really helpful to him.
Seeing him stop, the Confucian scholars who were "watching eagerly" finally caught the opportunity and immediately swarmed up and surrounded him.
Fortunately, not long after, a Confucian scholar walked in from outside and told Liu Jing and others that several Jiaozhou people who were said to be guests of District Yuanbo were drunk and causing trouble in a liquor store in the city, destroying things and injuring people. They were all arrested by the city officials.
The more Liu Jing listened, the more solemn his face became. Those people must not be lying. The Ou family has been running Jiaozhou for more than a hundred years and has always been involved in Jiaozhou. This time, I am afraid it will be difficult to get along.
In the end, arresting a few hangers-on is of no consequence to Ou Xiong, although it hurts his face. But this time, it is the customers of the Ou family in Jiaozhou who are arrested. Not only Ou Xiong, but also the entire Ou family will be humiliated. This move will definitely bring disgrace.
Anger the district hero.
With a serious look on his face, Liu Jing hurriedly left the bookstore and hurried back to the market.
Ma Zhou had been standing at the door of the market building. When he saw him coming back, he immediately went up to greet him and said with joy: "Liu Jun, you don't know, just now Xie Shi led us to arrest a few people from Jiaozhou who were making trouble, but we didn't expect that they were actually district heroes.
guest, for which I punched him two more times."
Liu Jing was surprised and thought to himself: "Thank you for being able to laugh. Once Ou Xiong is carried away by his anger, the first one to take Xie Liang's knife will be you, and the second one will be you."
At the same time, I was a little surprised. Xie Liang has always been a cautious person. When did he become so bold?
Liu Jing asked as he walked: "Where is Mr. Xie?"
Ma Zhou murmured at the top of the market building: "I was called into the press room by Huang Yujun."
Liu Dingding nodded and went straight to the third floor. Before he even got close to the door of the brokerage room, he heard Huang Qiu's scoldings coming from inside.
Xie Liang felt very aggrieved. Who knew that those drunkards from Jiaozhou were actually guests of District Xiong? He regretted it now. Why did he act so rashly in the first place? He had been cautious all his life, but in the end he ended up in trouble.
Such a disaster.
When Huang Qiu saw Liu Jing, he immediately expressed his bitterness: "Zhongda, where have you been? Alas, you can't stay away from the market now. You just went out for a while, and such a big thing happened."
After Liu Jing took his seat, he said: "Jun Jun, the matter has come to this, there is no room for maneuver, we can only do business as usual."
Huang Qiu stroked his sparse beard and said worriedly, "I'm just afraid that Uncle Ou Yuan will cause trouble."
Liu Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Does he still dare to lead the crowd to attack the market buildings?"
Xie Liang had a bitter look on his face. Ou Xiong didn't dare to attack the city building, but he could ambush him on the way up and down the street! Liu Jing's reputation was his talisman, no one could hurt him, and of course he didn't have to worry about himself.
My safety is in danger, but what do I have? Nothing!
Starting from Huang Qiu and Xie Liang, all the city officials were in panic all afternoon, but in the end nothing bad happened.
Although Liu Jing acted as if he didn't care, when he returned to the official's residence after his shift, he ordered Ma Zhou to follow him every step of the way. When he passed the Dongshi Gate, he asked Ma Zhou to call Wang Dynasty up.
With Ma Zhou and the two "hum ha two generals" of the dynasty, Liu Jing finally felt at ease.
After safely returning to the official's house, Liu Jing separated from Ma and Wang. Before going to the residence of his clan brother Liu Pan, he went home to pick up something.
Liu Pan was a little surprised by his arrival, but his attention was quickly attracted by the object in Liu Jing's hand, and he asked: "Zhongda, what is this in your hand?"
Liu Jing smiled when he heard this, flicked his right wrist, and unfolded the folding fan with a "swish". While fanning himself, he smiled and said: "Since entering late May, the weather in Changsha has been getting hotter day by day. I have nothing to do.
I had nothing to do, so I made a fan.
This fan is made of bamboo as the skeleton, coated with lacquer, and made of silk as the surface, which is bonded with glue. Because it folds smoothly and can be opened and closed freely, it is named folding fan."
"This thing is quite exquisite." Liu Pan complimented casually. There seemed to be words on the fan. When he looked carefully, he couldn't help but said "Hey" and held down Liu Jing's wrist to prevent him from shaking.
Liu Jing smiled softly and handed the folding fan directly to him.
Liu Pan held a folding fan, walked back and forth, and murmured: "The orchid is beautiful, spread its fragrance. If you don't pick it and wear it, there will be no harm to the orchid."
Today's rotation is like this. I travel in all directions, passing the days and years.
The snow and frost are merging, and the shepherd's purse and wheat are luxuriant. If the child is not hurt, I will not look down upon it.
The luxuriance of buckwheat is the result of buckwheat. When a gentleman is injured, a gentleman protects it."
After Liu Pan finished chanting, he was stunned for a long time, and then he sighed: "Back then, Confucius invited all the princes, but all the princes could not use them. When he was defending himself against Lu, he passed by the Hidden Valley and saw the only luxuriant orchid. He sighed and said: 'Fu Lan should be the king.
"Xiang', I stopped the car and supported the piano and drums to compose "Yilan Cao". Zhongda, are you copying it?"
Liu Jing nodded without any hint of humility and asked with a smile: "What do you think, brother Cong?"
Liu Pan praised Zhongda from the bottom of his heart: "Zhongda is as talented as Brother Yu, even if you try to flatter him! But Zhongda, although this poem was written out of season to express gratitude to Confucius for his injury, it is too old-fashioned. You are in your prime of life."
, it’s time to forge ahead with determination, this poem is very inconsistent with you.”
Seeing Liu Pan holding the folding fan tightly in his hand and speaking with high-sounding words, Liu Jing still didn't know what he meant. In fact, this folding fan was originally prepared for him.
Liu Jingsa smiled and said: "Brother Cong, if you like it, just take it. I still have a few spares in my house."
Liu Pan nodded reservedly and said, "Brother, I really like this fan."
Liu Jing put away his smile and got down to business: "Brother Cong, actually I came here to tell you something. I went to the book store today and paid back the 20,000 yuan for the pledge of books for me."
"Huh?" Liu Pan's eyes instantly became sharp, he put down his folding fan and said: "He sees that you are both kind and powerful in the city, and your methods are extraordinary, so he wants to resolve the grudges with you?"
"I guess so." Liu Jingcheng nodded and said: "The books are still in the bookstore. I would like to hear Brother Cong's opinion first. I was afraid that I would refuse and actually burned the loan deed in front of the owner of the bookstore. I
If you insist on refunding the money, I'm afraid he will anger the owner of the bookstore, and then..."
Liu Pan smiled coldly and said: "This is your money, why should you return it? I didn't agree with you using money to bribe your grades."
"Okay, I will listen to my brother." Liu Jing was relieved with his words, and then he mentioned the "Jiaozhou people incident" in the city today.
Liu Pan frowned and said: "The Ou family rules the roost with strength. Since Ou Xing was beheaded by Wuchenghou Tuiping eight years ago, the Ou family has finally been quiet for a few years. Unexpectedly, it has started to return to its old ways in recent years."
