Lord of the House: Chapter 34 Life is rare 1 confidant

After Lin Fuxiang took up the post of Jiangdao Prisoner, he spent some energy to study the prison affairs of this dynasty.

In addition to the laws and decrees issued by the imperial court, there are very few related treatises. Only a few notes written by the writers in prison are published in the world, and most of the accounts are a few anecdotes from the prison guards heard from the prison guards. There is no systematic introduction to prison affairs. Of course, in this era, let alone the content of basic theory, professional and systematic treatises on other industries are extremely rare.

In terms of military affairs, apart from the "Notes on the Seven Classics of Martial Arts" written by the founding general Su Jinyuan in more than two hundred years, no higher-level treatises have been published in the past two hundred years. , combat theory has not progressed. Professional treatises on agriculture, water affairs, shipping, ironwork, weaving, etc. are very rare. Even if there are, they are all classical masterpieces with a history of hundreds or even hundreds of years. Development achievements are either passed down by word of mouth, or are passed on privately as a master's secret book, and outsiders can never see the way.

Lin Bie never imagined that four years ago, because of a trivial matter, Chen Xinbo, the prime minister of power, kicked Zhao Shuhan, who was kicked into the Leng Yamen of the Jiangning Criminal Department, to use the four years of sitting on the bench to write this brilliant hundreds of pages of prison affairs. focus on.

"Could the manuscript be beneficial to Brother Lin?" Zhao Shuhan said.

"Oh..." Lin Fu came back to his senses and forgot what to say to Zhao Shuhan for a while.

Zhao Shuhan looked at this upstart who had recently gained fame in Jiangning City. Although he was only ranked last in the township examination, the heated discussion he caused in the city was comparable to Jiangning's famous people in the autumn, Jiangdong Township Exam Jie Yuan. Chen Mingzhe.

Now Chen Mingzhe has returned to his hometown to study in seclusion to prepare for next year's Spring Festival, but he is admired by the upstart Gu Wuchen of the Chu Party, but he has no desire to become a scholar. Preparing to run a business.

Although many of Zhao Shuhan's Qingliu colleagues contemptuously said that Lin Fu was just a fluke who was opportunistic and greedy for money, Zhao Shuhan, who was hit hard at the beginning of his career, was much more pragmatic than he was four years ago, and he even taught himself without a teacher. Some tricks. Zhao Shuhan would not study Lin Bie's character carefully, nor would he think that Lin Bie couldn't afford to be ranked second and fourth, and he hoped that he could be cast into Gu Wuchen's door through Lin Bing.

As for the ethos of scholars who are ashamed of seeking money, Zhao Shuhan, who has been living in poverty in Jiangning for four years, also smiled contemptuously. His colleagues worked hard and tried their best to extort one or two hundred copper coins. They arrested people and imprisoned them if they found any excuses. Even forcing other people's families to break down, is it possible that they will become despised people by operating a business in an open and honest way?

Zhao Shuhan was not familiar with Lin Fu, even if he did not have a deep prejudice against Lin Fu, from the rumors he heard, he only regarded him as a figure who took advantage of the situation. Bie picked up his manuscript and read it for a long time, and then pressed his finger on his manuscript for a long time and lost his mind, and couldn't help but remind him.

"Brother Lin thinks that Zhao Mouyu's manuscript is readable, you might as well take it back and return it to me in a few days." Zhao Shuhan could also see that the manuscript Lin Fu gave him was attractive, and he was quite proud of it. The place is also here. When you see someone you admire, you will naturally have a lot of goodwill in your heart.

Among the many friendships in this world, confidants are probably the most exciting.

"This..." Lin Fu's head was tied in a knot, and it took a moment for him to sort out his thoughts, and said to Zhao Shuhan, "Brother Zhao's magnificent masterpiece is the first wonderful article I have read in Lin Fu's life. Published in the world, to benefit the world? To be offensive, compared to Brother Zhao's second-ranked and fourth-ranked jinshi reputation, Lin Fu thinks that Brother Zhao's true reputation is on top of this manuscript..."

"Haha, Brother Lin is overrated," Zhao Shuhan felt that Lin Bie's words were exaggerated, but he was so praised that every pore on his body was comfortable, and his hand was on Lin Bie's arm. At this moment, the forgetful person made him a confidant, "Brother Lin is a son of a wealthy family, I don't know the hard work of being poor, although Shu Han also wants to publish the book, but Shu Han can't afford the hundreds of taels of money to engrave the book. If Brother Lin really likes it, Shu Han will spend ten days to copy a copy of the manuscript and give it to you..."

"What kind of son of a wealthy family am I? How good is it?" Lin Fu looked at Zhao's house with cold walls and said, "Brother Zhao entrusted me with the manuscript for publication, and I paid Brother Zhao one hundred taels of silver. After the manuscript is published, I will be I will sign Brother Zhao’s name, but the profits from selling books in the future will go to my pocket…”

"It's not a Liyuan opera. How many people will buy it if it is published in the world? Brother Lin is making a joke about Shu Han." Zhao Shuhan shook his head and said.

"Brother Zhao doesn't care about this, Brother Zhao just promises me," Lin Fu said, calling Zhao Hu in, asking him how much money he brought out of his bag, and giving Zhao Shuhan all the 22 pieces of silver on Zhao Hu's body. If I can’t find a place to read this book right now, I won’t waste any more time inviting Brother Zhao to have a drink. The remaining 80 taels of silver will be delivered to me when I return to the house…”

"How dare you be?" For Zhao Shuhan, who didn't have 22 taels of money for a year, the 22 taels that Lin Fu gave him at this time felt extremely overwhelmed. How could he dare to ask for another 80 taels of silver? Besides, publishing books and engraving books is a huge expense. He didn't think that Lin Fu was actually saying these words seriously. He was stunned, and he didn't know how to refuse. He was a little confused when he sent Lin Fu's master and servant out.

Watching the three of Lin Bie's master and servant leave on horseback, Zhao Shuhan still felt that twenty taels of silver in his hand was holding his hand. Yinzi, he couldn't figure out Lin Bie's other intentions, and it was clear that he had something to ask him today.

"Looks like you lost your soul. People have been gone for a long time. What are you still watching at the door?" Zhao Shuhan's wife walked over, looked into the dark alley, and pushed her lost husband, "When have you seen someone else's girl infatuated with you?"

Zhao Shuhan ignored his wife's jokes and asked her, "You said that I spent all day thinking about those manuscripts, and I could not get a single penny back, but others said that the manuscript was worth 100 taels just for me. Do you believe me? Do not believe?"

"Have you lost your mind, or have others lost your mind?" Zhao's wife said.

"It seems that others have lost their minds, look..." Zhao Shuhan spread out his hands to show his wife the silver coins in his hand.

"Ah..." Zhao's wife's eyes widened, staring at the silver in Zhao Shuhan's hand, she was stunned for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Could it be that he has something else to ask you?"

"I think so too," Zhao Shuhan said, "but when he first came, he swore an oath with Qingfeng, threatened the young master of the tower with his tongue cut, and saved the aunt of the She family to keep his innocence. He is a popular man under Gu Wuchen's family. ——I'm a low-ranking official in the cold yamen, don't think it's a high-ranking official, the janitor in front of Jiangning's yamen dares to give me a face, what can I ask him to ask for? Besides, I'm going to beg him. That's right." Zhao Shuhan was puzzled, and gave the money to his wife and asked her to ask the old servant to go out and buy a few pounds of wine, and he felt that he was happy to meet a confidant who appreciated his manuscripts.

"If you have some money, you know how to eat wine, but I don't know if I want to add a cotton coat to Hao'er first..." Zhao's wife complained.

"Yes, yes, yes, first add a cotton coat to Hao'er, and then give Niangzi a silver hairpin." Zhao Shuhan smiled.

"I don't want any silver hairpins. It's already dark. If I want to buy cotton-padded clothes, I have to wait until I understand it before I can estimate the clothes shop. I think I need to save money when I have money. It will be the New Year's Day in a few days. You drink it at noon. After drinking, a drink in the evening can save you a drink on the eve of the New Year's Eve." Zhao's wife said.

"Okay, okay..." Zhao Shuhan looked at his beloved wife and he had suffered a lot over the years, and everything depended on her.

After returning to the house for a while, when he heard the horseshoes coming back from the alley, Zhao Shuhan asked his wife in surprise, "Should you really bring the rest of the money?" Horses stand in front of the door.

"Master Zhao, this is the remaining 80 taels of silver that my son promised, you can count it," Zhao Hu handed the small silver-packed baggage to Zhao Shuhan, then turned around and untied several heavy cloth bags on the horse's back and put them in the yard Lilai~www.mtlnovel.com~ said, "The Chinese New Year is approaching, my son said that this was a gift he gave to Master Zhao in advance, and they were all native products of his hometown. Please accept it with a smile from Master Zhao... My son also told me to Don't delay to do other things..."

Watching Zhao Hu leave the alley on horseback, Zhao Shuhan put his hand on the edge of the door, with mixed feelings, as if he had been wronged for four years in Jiangning before he really found a confidant who could appreciate him.

"Look at you! You are just a top-ranking scholar, and you are still a second-class and fourth-ranked jinshi. If the silver was sent by Gu Wuchen, the deputy inspector, you wouldn't have to cry at the entrance of the alley?" Zhao's wife saw her husband's mood. Excited, I couldn't help making fun of him, and said, "Yes, yes, I know you are happy, you buy everything back to the house first, I will call Cheng Bo to buy you two jins of wine, and then buy you a jins of braised pig's head. The meat is back..."

"Go, go..." Zhao Shuhan was really afraid that he would shed tears in front of his wife, and urged his wife to go and call the old servant to buy food and wine. He returned to the house in a great mood, and felt that he was taking Lin Bing so much. One hundred taels of silver is uneasy. Even if he wants to publish the manuscript, there are still many places to be deleted. It’s just that he was afraid of spending money on paper and ink. Come to my wife, "You have eaten the wine and vegetables, I still have something to do to visit Lin Juzi..."

"It's so late, aren't you afraid of being told that you're here to eat and drink?" Zhao's wife said.

"Lin Juzi doesn't think so." Zhao Shuhan had confidence in Lin Bie at this time, and said without mind.

"Then let Uncle Cheng accompany you, it's getting dark." Zhao's wife said.
