The two of them were talking to a girl. She was wearing a moon-white embroidered dress. She was washed clean and had a pretty face. She smiled and said, "My dear husband, your clothes are all dry and one of the holes has been sewn." , how about wearing it in a hurry and ironing it before sending it over?"
"Okay, don't worry. When it's delivered, I'll pay you the eight coins next month."
"yes."
This was a very common thing, but Su Ziji suddenly felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it. Originally, it was nothing more, but now at this juncture, he couldn't help but feel a little more distracted.
"My lord, you have forgotten that she is Qian Zhidong's concubine's maid Cui'er, and you have met her before."
"Oh, is it Mr. Sun? But I remember that I was given 3,500 taels of silver and Jian Qu was still there to take care of her. How could she be so depressed that she came out to do laundry?"
"Let's go and have a look."
"Too..." They just went to take a look. Yu Lu and Fang Xicai turned around. When they saw the other side, they couldn't help being surprised. After careful debate, they immediately recognized him and were about to salute.

Su Ziji was a little helpless, so he could only step forward to support him and said: "No need to be polite, today I am just an old friend from studying."
Only then did Yu Lu and Fang Xi realize that they were coming incognito and looked at each other. However, Su Ziji did not speak immediately, but they saw the wild Taoist leading the girl over.
"Why are you doing the laundry? Is there no support from the government?" Su Ziji asked.
This girl had only met Su Ziji once, a few years ago. Although she felt a little familiar, she didn't expect that even the wild Taoist had not seen him a few times. She couldn't recognize him for a while. She only knew that he was a nobleman from the Taisun Mansion. A small blessing...
"Of course the government takes care of them. There is always money, rice, and fruits to enjoy every year, and there are even watermelons in the summer!"
"It's just that the young lady said that if she had nothing to do, she had to make some plans for her, so with the help of the family, she opened a silk shop not far from here." Cui'er said clearly: "The business is not bad."
"That……"
"Later, Miss saw that there were many candidates taking the exam nearby, but they were so far away. Those with money might be able to bring one or two attendants, and most of them were male servants. They were not good at mending, starching, and washing, let alone those without money."
"So I went into the Juren business and was responsible for the monthly washing, starching and mending of clothes. I paid eight silver coins a month. I also hired girls and wives from nearby to work. Since Juren must be honorable, the business in one month was better than that of a silk shop. ."
"Has this become a big deal?" Su Ziji thought about it, vaguely remembering how fragile and pretty Sun was when she fell to the ground crying, and didn't want to see it become like this in a blink of an eye: "Real people can't be judged by their appearance. People can always find a way out. ah!"
"OK, I understand, you go ahead"
"Let's go inside and talk." Su Ziji looked at the girl's back thoughtfully, turned around and entered the bookstore. After entering, he realized that this bookstore was different.
There are also some famous bookstores in other places, which at most have a few floors, are larger, have more books, and can accommodate people to sit down.
But this bookstore does look like a building from the outside, but after entering and walking a little way, your eyes suddenly open up, and it turns out to be a completely different world!
Inside, there is actually a small garden!
The size of this garden is incomparable with the royal gardens Su Ziji has seen. It is much smaller, but compared with the layout of other bookstores, it is much larger. It is simply eye-catching!
While walking, you can also smell the faint aroma of tea and snacks.
Looking around, I found that the layout of the garden was like this: books were placed in a peculiar hollow building surrounded by corridors, and rows of bookshelves could be vaguely seen from the outside.
There are many kinds of places for reading: rooms, lawns, pavilions, corridors, and small lakes.
Tables, chairs and benches are everywhere, and small stalls serving refreshments are all in the style of thatched huts on the roadside, and there are places at some distance apart.
Several scholars were passing by and were talking about this matter. They told me that the tea here was delicious and the price was not high.
Even buying books and these refreshments are not very expensive expenses for most scholars who have reached the stage of raising a child.
And this environment, compared with the cost, seems to be even more cost-effective.
"I met several businessmen in a row today." Su Ziji felt that his horizons had been opened. Of course, he also knew that not to mention the county, even the county government could not open a bookstore of this type. There was no other
The reason is that only a place where people gather together can support this market.
Su Ziji burst into laughter and asked Yu Lu: "I heard there is a piano room here?"
It was his first time to come to this place. When he entered, he found that it was a garden and the piano room should be larger than expected.
Yu Lu didn't know why his grandson came here. Could it be that he was just for fun, so he smiled and said, "There is indeed a piano room. I heard it's to the east."
Su Ziji glanced towards the east, and sure enough he saw a scholar carrying a musical instrument going there.
Except over there, many of the scholars who had been here for a long time gathered in the pavilion or on the side of the lake. They were not afraid of the cold, and they were in small groups. There were scholars everywhere talking and reading.
It’s so elegant here!
Su Ziji secretly thought that in ancient times, the imperial court did not speculate on land and houses. This seemingly huge garden could be bought for a few thousand taels, but it could not make a lot of money from the consumption of snacks and tea, but the boss behind it could attract so many scholars.
This is a resource in itself.
"There are many reckless heroes." Su Ziji had other thoughts, but at this moment he gave the wild Taoist a look.
"Understood, I will give the boss a try in a while." The wild Taoist naturally understood, and the four of them headed towards the library, and met several scholars sitting at a stone table on the roadside, and they just mentioned "
"Taishun", "Collection of Poems", this was the purpose of Su Zi's book, he couldn't help paying attention and slowed down.
There are many people here, and since I dare to talk here, I am not afraid of being heard or noticed. Su Ziji's gaze did not attract the attention of these people.
I heard one of them holding a book of poems and saying: "If you want to talk about poetry, there should be no doubt that Taisun is the best in the world, right?"
But a person sitting opposite said: "Although Taisun is a superb poet, he is still young. Mr. Qin's poems are thicker. Compared with the two, he is not far behind."
Yu Lufangxi listened and nodded.
The "Mr. Qin" mentioned by this person must refer to Qin Fengyu, Mr. Qin.
This is a very famous poet, who is over thirty years old, and is very famous among scholars. What this person said is indeed fair.
Su Ziji noticed something else, that is, he actually knew the person who said these words, Zhang Modong.
He was a fifteen-year-old middle school student and met this person at a chess game. We had several contacts later, but we haven't seen him for many years.
What Long Jun said at that time is still vivid in Zhang Modong's mind. Although you are talented, your destiny is very poor. Despite many scientific examinations, you will never be able to be promoted. Although I can make up for it, but you are not blessed, you will not be able to show your dignity.
Just a provincial test.
At that time, a quail flew into Zhang Modong's body, and quail was a member of the ninth rank in Dazheng, which was almost the same as the official position.
Su Ziji was now disguised, so Zhang Modong naturally didn't recognize him.
Although Zhang Modong's words were recognized by Yu Lu and Fang Xi, they made Juren, who spoke first, unhappy. He suddenly darkened his face and said: "Half a generation of youth knows all kinds of tastes, and is full of great ambitions. This sentence may be similar to Mr. Qin's.
."
"But, can this feeling be recalled? It's just that I was at a loss at that time. I'm afraid it's hard for Mr. Qin to recall it, right?"
"The most important thing is that Mr. Qin comes from a family of officials in the capital. Although he was in troubled times, he was a romantic son. He was taught by famous teachers and never suffered any hardship. However, although his grandson was a noble man, he was reduced to the common people. He suffered hardships as a young man and as a middle child during his lifetime.
, he was almost sent to hard labor, and even had no famous teachers to give him guidance.”
"To be able to win the No. 1 Scholarship in one fell swoop is a long way to go. To write poems like this is full of talent and talent. You are still secretly belittling me. Even if we are accustomed to looking down on each other, you can get over it, right?"
After saying that, he handed the book of poems back to him, stood up and left, as if he didn't agree with him. This action immediately made Zhang Modong blush.
Hearing this, Su Ziji couldn't help but feel his heart move, and a trace of color appeared on his face.
"Issuing books and biographies is obviously for fame, but in fact it is for the sake of subtle influence. The most precious thing among literati is their appearance and gentleness. It is extraordinary to be able to break off friendships if someone disagrees with them."
"It can be seen that the magical power of the university is a small test, and the effect seems to be good."
