Chapter 114 Li Qingzhao! (big chapter)

In the summer of the 21st century, it is not difficult to drink ice water.

Basically, you can find ice-cold drinks at any convenience store on the street.

But in the current ancient Song Dynasty, it is not easy to drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup in summer.

I don’t know if this old man has an ice cellar in his home, or does he use saltpeter to make ice?

The heat-absorbing function of saltpeter was discovered in the late Tang Dynasty. When dissolved in water, it will absorb a lot of heat, reducing the water temperature and even freezing it.

So since then, making ice with saltpeter has gradually become a way of making ice in ancient China.

Now that hundreds of years have passed, the technology of making ice with saltpeter has reached a very mature level and has spread to the people.

But sometimes saltpeter is not easy to find, so some ordinary people use Glauber’s salt—the kind scraped from Laoba Restaurant.

Of course.

Right now, this shop is neither big nor small.

Even if saltpeter is used to make ice, the source of the material is obviously not that dirty.

at the same time.

Touching the icy air on the edge of the bowl, Xu Yun’s mind suddenly moved inexplicably.

It seemed as if something lightly flashed past his mind, and he wanted to grab it but couldn’t hold it.

Before he had time to think, he was interrupted by Yong Zhu’s loud voice beside him.

“It’s so **** cool!”

Yongzhu and the others drank half a bowl of sour plum soup from their respective bowls, wiped the corners of their mouths, and let out a breath of heat.

I don’t know if it’s because of the icy air that passed through the door of my heart. One servant couldn’t help but sighed softly and complained:

“Hey, the weather is getting hotter and hotter now.”

Yongzhu heard the words, raised his eyelids to look at him, and said with a sneer:

“Now? It’s okay now. After ten months, you won’t be able to sleep well at night! Let’s just live with it, and you’ll be fine after two months.”

I don’t know if the word “boil” hit a sensitive part of everyone’s heart, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became visibly depressed.

Another servant with a blue birthmark on his face was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

“Brother Yongzhu, I heard that the master only plans to return a few people to Jingkou this time?”

Yong Zhu nodded, picked up the pottery bowl and took another sip:

“This time the master will bring more than ten people back to Jingkou, and the rest will stay in Bianjing with the fourth master. According to the current age of the master, I am afraid that there will not be many contacts in the future.”

The servant with the blue birthmark asked again:

“Brother Yongzhu, are you going to follow the master or not?”

Yongzhu lowered his brows a little, and sighed:

“Compared to my master, my fourth master, if my parents weren’t old, I would definitely follow my master back to Jingkou.”

After speaking, he glanced at Xu Yun, wondering if it was a good impression brought by the treat, the man said a few more words:

“Wang Mazi, you’ve been walking around the boss’s place these few days.

Master is a kind person. You are helpless now. If you can follow Master back to Jingkou, you will be settled in the future. Leaving this sad place is also a good thing.

In the future, I will rent a few acres of Susukida and ask for a wife, and I will live in peace for the rest of my life. “

Xu Yun: “.”

I understand the truth, but what the **** is the place of sadness?

But having said that, Yong Zhu revealed a lot of information in his words:

It is clear.

Old Su is already preparing to return to Jingkou.

In history, Lao Su was indeed Jingkou who returned to Xia Xia, but the history books did not record the specific time, and the whole text only had the words “It is Nian Xia”.

According to Yong Zhu’s words.

If there are no accidents, Lao Su may officially set off within one to two weeks.

This is undoubtedly very important information. As mentioned earlier, no matter what angle you look at, Lao Su must stay in Bianjing.

If there are really no chances in the next few days, Xu Yun has to consider making some big news.

Afterwards, the four chatted briefly, and then Xu Yun settled the fee and continued to set off.

The layout of Bianjing City is very similar to today’s Junyi, basically there are not many changes:

The dark and thick Royal Street goes straight into the flower heart of Zhuquemen. After entering Zhuquemen, turn right and you will find Nanmen Street and Daxiangguo Temple.

Well, it was here that Grandma Liu pulled up the weeping willows.

This area is also the most prosperous part of the entire Bianjing area. It’s actually fine during the day, but when the night gets dark, various painted boats will float on the Bian River to greet benefactors.

Through this area, Xu Yun and others walked a long way.

Finally, they came to a compound with the name “Li Mansion” hanging on it.

This compound is newer than Lao Su’s. The red paint on the gate looks like it has just been painted, and there are two stone lions on both sides of the gate.

The Song Dynasty was a period of rapid development of stone lions. In addition to squatting and lying lions, the special part of hair was formed.

this period.

The stone lions placed in the emperor’s palace are numbered 13, 12 for first-rank officials, and 11 for second-rank officials, which are reduced in order according to official positions, and for seventh-rank officials, there are six.

Do not use 鬏 in front of other people’s houses. This method is also an important feature to distinguish official and folk lions.

Li Gefei’s current official position is the fifth rank, so the stone lion in front of his house has eight tufts of curly hair.

Then, led by Yong Zhu, the four walked to the side door and knocked on the door knocker.

After a while.

ka—

A baffle on the upper half of the side door was removed, revealing a pair of eyes:

“Who is it?”

Yongzhu coughed lightly, motioned Xu Yun to take out the greeting card, and said:

“We are the young master of the crown prince. His Majesty gave the Duke of Zhao County a horse and cattle to walk away. A month ago, my master and the servant made an appointment to borrow books today, so he sent me to come here to deliver the documents. I also ask the elder to report it.”

Xu Yun on the side tacitly stuffed the greeting card through the gap.

The concierge received the greeting card, looked at the appearance, and couldn’t help but speak politely:

“It turned out to be a member of Mr. Su’s house, little old Qin Lian, you can call me Uncle Qin, please wait a moment, the little old will go to report to the old man.”

Then the doorman surnamed Qin closed the shutter again and went to find his master.

After about a quarter of an hour.

crunch—

The side door was opened from it.

A fine-looking man in charge came out and looked everyone up and down:

“Several, this is Li Mansion Master Bo Li Gu, please follow me.”

Xu Yun and the others looked at each other and obediently followed.

After entering the mansion.

Under the steward’s guidance, the group passed through several courtyard walls, and finally stopped in front of a bookstore.

The Book Pavilion is two floors high, with a faint scent of sandalwood.

It can be seen that people should often go in and out of this attic, burning incense and marking papers.

At the entrance of the attic, there are several large sealed boxes, surrounded by three or four guards who are in charge of guarding them. It must be the books that need to be handed over this time.

Guan took Xu Yun and the others to the center of the courtyard in advance, and then walked to the door of a hut on the left, and said respectfully:

“Miss, the book fetcher sent by Lord Su has arrived.”

After a while.

crunch—

There was another opening of the door, and a woman—or girl—came out of the cabin.

The girl is not tall, with a thin and thin body. She looks like a small bean sprout, but her appearance is not low.

The face is condensed with goose fat, the lips are like cherry blossoms, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, and the look is like autumn water, which is indescribably soft and delicate.

A emerald green dress looks extraordinarily eye-catching and fresh in this courtyard.

Seeing Yi Ren, two words suddenly appeared in Xu Yun’s mind:

The rain hits the blue lotus, and the mist thins the lonely mountain.

I think so too.

A woman who can write a sentence like “Naturally the best among flowers”, how low is the appearance?

Of course.

Don’t look at this girl as gentle and dignified, but in fact this little bean sprout has a bold and unrestrained temperament.

Playing mahjong, gambling, and drinking too much. He once gambled 600 kan in one night and ended up with nothing.

For example, “Like a Dream Order” that everyone is familiar with:

Chang Ji Xi Ting Sunset,

Intoxicated and knowing no way back,

Xing returned to the boat late,

strayed into the depths of the lotus root,

Struggle for crossing, contend for crossing,

Startled a pool of gulls.

Looks poetic, doesn’t it?

Actually, the meaning of this word refers to the fact that the girl is already drunk, so drunk that she can’t even find her way home.

Incidentally.

This word has just come out not long ago, which is the first work of the sixteen-year-old.

Exactly.

This is Li Qingzhao.

The number one talented girl in the ages, the number one gifted girl in the Song Dynasty, who loves to drink but has a very low capacity for alcohol.

Lay Yi An.

After walking out of the room, Xiao Li Xingbu walked down the steps.

When he came to Xu Yun and the others, he glanced at them and asked:

“Where is Mr. Su’s borrowing documents?”

Seeing this, Xu Yun took the initiative to take a step forward, and bowed to her:

“Reply to miss, the document is on the villain’s body, but please let me check the bibliography first, and submit the document after it is correct.”

Xiao Li glanced at him in surprise, and his tone was even a bit heavier:

“The books Mr. Su borrowed this time have many strange characters, can you recognize them?”

“You know it yourself.”

Xiao Li couldn’t help but glanced at him again.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from the original sentence, “If you know whether you know it or not, it should be green, fat, red and thin”, Xiao Li is a very down-to-earth and serious girl.

This can also be seen from the fact that Zhao Mingcheng ran away, she wrote a satirical book, and reported Zhang Ruzhou.

Among the books that Lao Su borrowed from Lao Li this time, there are several local anthologies unique to Huangzhou.

Therefore, when he suddenly heard Xu Yun’s “speaking loudly and without shame”, Xiao Li’s stubborn temper also came up.

But the girl didn’t change much on the surface, she just nodded in a normal way:

“Yes, let’s check the bibliography first.”

Then several people walked to the box, and Manager Li opened the box, and ordered the servants in the courtyard to spread a cloth on the ground, and then retreated behind everyone.

Seeing this, Xu Yun looked at Xiao Li, and after getting Xiao Li’s approval, he stepped forward to check the title of the book.

“”Send Huangzhou Lintong Judgment Sequence”.”

“”The Twelve Volumes of Yin Ke’s Strange Records”.”

“”Mr. Qingliu’s Story of the Female House”.”

“”Bai Wu 鸔毼”.”

“”On the Miscellaneous Order of Things”.”

The handover between the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty was actually not smooth, and there was a chaotic era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the middle.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are not long, and they are not short. It is easy to talk about more than 60 years inside and outside.

Among them, Huangzhou happened to be in the turbulent place of the back beam, so during this period, Huangzhou’s culture and fonts experienced many relative changes.

Although this kind of alienated writing gradually returned to normal after the Song Dynasty.

But just like the existence of dialects in various places in later generations, alienated characters and languages cannot be completely eliminated at once.

Li Gefei was influenced by Su Shi during his tenure in Huangzhou, and collected a large number of books and periodicals with Huangzhou characteristics, about 20% of which are different from the current official culture of the Song Dynasty.

Some are fonts, and some are composed of words.

And when Lao Li was writing letters with Lao Su, it was obviously impossible to directly copy the original name of the book.

So the content of the letter was actually simplified. Old Su knew that the names were complicated, but he didn’t know that it was so complicated, otherwise he might have come to the door by himself.

So Xiao Li’s initial thought was not to be arrogant, but to really think that Xu Yun was boasting—this girl is a thief, so she hoped to make fun of Xu Yun after she lost face.

It turned out that I didn’t expect that this seemingly innocent servant of the Su family could pronounce the title of the book correctly?

Co-author Has the cultural level of the Su Mansion reached such a high level these days?

In a quarter of an hour.

Xu Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked up to Xiao Li with a book:

“Miss, this book seems to be different from what is listed in the title, please read it.”

Xiao Li took the title and booklet and glanced at them.

It was discovered that, as Xu Yun said, the title was “Partial Chronicles of Nine Cities and Eight Counties of Huangzhou”, and the book in Xu Yun’s hand was “Partial History of Nine Cities and Eight Counties of Huangzhou”.

Although they are all partial books, most of the annals are written by officials, so it is not necessarily the case.

It may be an official, or a hermit, or even some landowners.

Therefore, the contents recorded by the two may also be completely different, and it is indeed all a mistake.

Facing the facts in front of him, Xiao Li first recruited Manager Li to ask him to exchange books, and then asked Xu Yun:

“What’s your name?”

“Wang Lin.”

“Can you compose lyrics?”

“Won’t.”

“What about poetry?”

“Neither.”

“What about writing?”

“Not anymore.”

“Then what will you do?”

“Carrying water and chopping firewood, and fetching books.”

“.”

Xu Yun’s words, Xiao Li, would not believe everything, but seeing the obvious rejection in the other party’s words, he shook his head regretfully:

“I don’t know words or poetry. Knowing so many words, isn’t it a waste of talent and learning?”

Xu Yun smiled and didn’t argue with the girl.

Right now, this talented woman is still in her boudoir, neither in terms of life experience nor character, has she reached the stage of real maturity.

Maybe after the Jingkang Incident, Xiao Li will have a new answer to his question.

In short, for Xu Yun, being able to meet Xiao Li’s true self is considered to have achieved his goal.

Maybe in the future, there will be no intersection between the two

Bar?

Just settled down today, the 5000-word chapter is guaranteed, no more updates but no less updates.

Tomorrow, I will find an **** at home and try to code all night tomorrow night!
