In the crowded Xiliu Hutong, Jia Liu, the host of the banquet, moved a small stool and sat in a corner, carefully reading the books in his hands.
Jia Liu was reading attentively every time he turned a page, his ears closed to outside events, and he looked like an old monk in trance. Even the sound of gifts being put into the basket that came to his ears from time to time could not attract Jia Liu to move his buttocks or raise his eyelids.
.
The first thing he read was "Ode to Put Down the Sect Rebellion in Shandong". What this book gave him was no longer shock, but shock.
Because the whole article is about 5,000 words long, there is not a single sentence praising Jia Jia for his contribution in quelling the religious rebellion. However, after reading the whole article, there is only one deep impression in people's minds - that is, Jia Jia Shikai was the leader of the Qing Dynasty.
The purple golden beams that frame the sea, the white jade pillars that lift the sky, the wishful golden hoops, and the iron soldiers who follow your heart!
If I have to sum it up in one sentence, it must be that the Qing Dynasty cannot live without Jia Jiashikai, just like Aisin Gioro cannot lose Changbai Mountain!
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
In the past, Jia Liu used at most three good words to praise people, but this time he directly used three wonderful words, which shows how excited he is.
I have to say that Ji Yun's literary level is quite remarkable. Even the words "moisten things" and "silent" are not enough to describe it. It is truly simple and simple, natural and wonderful, every word is precious, and every sentence of witty words makes people forget to leave, become obsessed with it, lose their mind, and have no idea.
"What a talented person!"
Putting down "Ode to Put Down Shandong Rebellion", Jia Liu was still immersed in the high praise of him in the article and the objective praise that was consistent with the facts.
In terms of this level of literature, the scholars on the reporting team of "Da Qing Daily" around him were inferior to him. To put it bluntly, these scholars did not even have one-tenth of Ji Yun's ability.
It’s no wonder that this old woman became Qianlong’s imperial prostitute. Sure enough, her writing skills had reached the pinnacle and she could be called a literary master of the generation.
Regardless of the force value, this person has obviously already stepped into the ranks of Yuanying old monsters.
Anyway, Jia Liu, who prided himself on being a great poet and lyricist, felt from the bottom of his heart that his writing was not worthy of standing alongside Ji Yun.
The value of this book alone is immeasurable, definitely worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Or a division.
Looking at "Jia Gong Han Fu Da Biography" again, it is a highly restored and highly beautified life of the old man.
To put it bluntly, this book ranks Mr. Jia more highly than Fan Wencheng and more beautiful than Hong Chengchou.
Without Mr. Jia, the Qing Dynasty's conquest of China would have been interrupted for ten or even twenty years.
However, Jia Liu just flipped through this biography of the old man and threw it aside. Compared with the "Ode to Put Down the Rebellion of Shandong Religion" which eulogized him, the ugly facts about the old man were really not worth mentioning.
"Go and invite Master Ji!"
Since Ji Yun was so enlightened, Jia Liu certainly wanted to meet him.
He was also afraid that his cultural level was not enough, so he specially called Asiha, who was born in Juren, to sit with him.
When Asiha arrived, Jialiu didn't say anything and just threw the two books over.
After reading it, Asiha, who was very confused, couldn't help but admire: "This person's writing style is unparalleled by anyone in the contemporary era."
"Even you said yes, that's really good. As the saying goes, it's easy to find a thousand armies, but it's hard to find a general. Such talents must be recruited from the group for my use."
Jia Liu has always been thinking about someone who can sort out his thoughts and speech spirit into suitable sentences. He previously pointed to Shuan Zhu, who has not graduated from elementary school, and Fan Wei, who has graduated from elementary school, to help him solve this problem. I don't think they are really good at it.
It's too bad. I've been doing it for so long and nothing happened, so I want to win over Ji Yun to work for me.
If nothing else works, it will definitely be no problem to rebuild the family tree for his Jia family.
Asiha was the incompetent waste designated by Qianlong, and Ji Yun was the prostitute designated by Qianlong. The two of them worked together to assist Master Jia Jia, which is a rare story in the world.
Ji Yun came. At first glance, he looked like a bearded man. At second glance, he found that this man was plain-looking, even a bit wretched, and he was obviously highly short-sighted, because he struggled to see people and kept squinting his eyes.
of.
"Xiaolan has met the prince-in-law!"
Ji Yun is appropriately called Ji Yun. He and Jia Liu have no superior or subordinate relationship. Therefore, although their rank is lower than that of Jia Liu, it is inappropriate to refer to him as a lower official.
He looked calm on the outside, but inside he was in a state of turmoil.
Because his goal was achieved.
The two books he spent so much effort writing were not in vain.
"Okay, okay, come here, show Mr. Ji a seat and serve tea!"
The enthusiasm on Jia Liu's face was as bright as fire, and he did not forget to tell the bodyguard who was going to serve tea to go to the Hangzhou Yuqian Longjing where he drank alone, and not to use high foam to deal with Ji Dacai.
After Ji Yun sat down politely, Jia Liu pretended to be casual and asked: "Master Ji, is he serving in the Ministry of War now?"
"The lower official is currently the minister of the Ministry of War."
Ji Yun kept leaning forward when he spoke, as if he was trying to figure out what the young prince-in-law in front of him looked like. Although he had seen him before in Qianqing Palace, he could not see clearly from such a distance.
Jia Liu smiled. He never judged people by their appearance, because the more ordinary the person looks, the more powerful he is inside.
Asiha smiled and said that Ji Yun had been working in the Hanlin Academy and the National History Museum, and that Ji Yun was in charge of the "Sikuquanshu".
Ji Yun corrected him and said that he was only responsible for the selection work of "Sikuquanshu", which meant review and editing.
The work was actually easy. Any books that were not in line with the interests of the Qing Dynasty were banned from being deleted and destroyed. Those that had value were destroyed and re-edited.
Jia Liu couldn't help but nod. Ji Yun's deed was not done by human beings. He destroyed books more than selected them. Otherwise, Sikuquanshu would not have been said to be a disaster for Chinese culture.
But frankly speaking, this matter has little to do with Ji Yun, after all, he is also working part-time.
Do part-time workers dare not listen to their boss’s instructions?
"Master Ji looks like a learned man at first glance. He is the most knowledgeable person in Shikai's life. It will be a great pleasure to study with Master Ji."
Jia Liu no longer concealed his intention to win over Ji Yun and praised Ji Yun extremely.
This made Asiha next to him a little jealous. A dog happened to hit him and the three of them passed by, so he deliberately teased Ji Yun. He pointed at the dog and asked with a smile: "I dare to ask Master Ji if he knows whether this beast is a wolf or a dog."
?”
This means that the waiter is a dog.
Ji Yun glanced at the dog, smiled slightly and said: "Abutang wants to know whether this beast is a wolf or a dog. It is very simple. Just look at its tail. If it stretches downward, it is a wolf, and if it stretches upward, it is a dog."
This means that the minister is the dog.
The answers were very interesting, humorous and very witty.
Jia Liu smiled when he heard this. He had heard this joke before, and immediately felt that something was wrong. Why was this part of the scene postponed?
If the old man is He Shen, then wouldn’t he be Qianlong?
It's my destiny.
When he got excited, he simply stood up and patted Ji Da Yandian on the shoulder, and whispered: "Old Ji, are you secretly conspiring against Fu Zhongtang?"
"ah?"
This question startled Ji Yun, and he quickly stood up and shook his head, firmly denying it.
I was suddenly panicked in my heart. I didn't know how the prince's consort in Prince Xin's Mansion knew that he was sworn in with that thief Fulhun.
"Damn, you are really a prostitute!"
The smile on Jia Liu's face disappeared, and was replaced by a threatening face: "Ji, don't cherish the opportunity I give you! Do you believe it or not, I will expose your participation in the Baolong project!"
