The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 162 Facing the wall, the library opens
Chapter 162 Facing the wall, the library opens
Yun Shen now regrets that he didn't punch this kid in the face more.The dead child's hair hasn't grown yet, so he's going to grab his wife?
Cheng Zhou raised his eyebrows, full of vigor, "I'm asking Sister Du."
Yun Shen's teeth were sore from being called by sister Du.
Yun Xi didn't know what was going on with the two of them, they just met, and they didn't like everything about each other.While she was wondering, the balance in her heart was still tilted towards Yun Shen. She pointed at Yun Shen and said with a smile, "How about you copy a copy and fight Yun Shen?"
When she put forward this opinion, she looked at Yun Shen with some hesitation, after all, Yun Shen had to agree to it.She could tell that this Cheng Zhou was a martial idiot, he wanted to practice with others all day long.
Yun Shen didn't refuse, but smiled instead. There was a bit of evil in the smile, and the facial features became more and more attractive, "Okay. I'll fight with him. It's cold, so it's good to exercise your muscles and bones."
Let's see if he doesn't beat the dead child until he cries for his father and mother to go back to his master.
Naturally, Cheng Zhou would not lose the wind, but he was ready to move, his fighting spirit burning, "Okay! One day, I will defeat you!"
His eyes were full of rebelliousness, as if seeing him saw the unyielding fighting spirit.
The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up, and said: "Okay, then it's settled!" Anyway, this kid is not slow to copy books, Yun Xi couldn't help but wonder if he was usually punished for copying books. got used to.Otherwise, when she asked him to copy the book, he wouldn't have resisted at all.
After Cheng Zhou left, Yun Shen said earnestly: "People with unknown background like this, it's better to be more careful."
Yun Xi looked at him suspiciously, "Do you know his identity?"
Yun Shen paused and said, "No, I don't know."
It wasn't that simple for Yun Xi to be fooled, her tone was very certain, "No, you must know each other..." Yun Xi paused for a moment, then overturned her guess, "From the first time the two of you met. Look, you may not have met each other, but you must know each other's existence. Did you guess it from the name or the way of martial arts?"
Yun Xi thought it was quite possible.Don't look at Cheng Zhou being oppressed and beaten by her and Yun Shen, but he is still young and very malleable.When he reaches Yun Xi's age, he will definitely be better at martial arts than she is now.
Even as a genius in the eyes of others, Yun Xi would not underestimate people of this era.As the saying goes, there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.
Yun Shen found that having a fiancée who was too smart and sensitive was not very kind sometimes, at least it was inconvenient to fool her.
He looked at Yun Xi's expression of "you'd better be honest", and said concisely: "Judging from his martial arts skills, his master and my little uncle are friends."
The little uncle Yun Shen was talking about was Meng Liang.
Yun Xi understood, and then looked at him speechlessly, "Since that's the case, why don't you say that he has unknown origins." You really are bullying children.
Yun Shen didn't speak, but was a little embarrassed by Yun Xi's laugh.
After Yun Xi laughed, she also came to her senses, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Wait, aren't you jealous?"
Unlike other men, Yun Shen is ashamed to admit that he is jealous, and even likes to hide his feelings.Even when he was jealous, he was frank and frank, "I am jealous, that kid obviously has evil intentions."
He understood Yun Xi's attraction to Cheng Zhou very well.
Strong in force, beautiful in appearance, and outstanding in temperament, while powerful, he also has a gentle side.Such a type is extremely lethal to a young man who has just come down the mountain and has never seen the world.
But he had heard from his little uncle that the boy was so rebellious that Yun Xi had asked him to copy books, so he obediently went.Yun Shen had to feel a huge sense of crisis.
After Yun Xi understood what was going on, she chuckled, "You think too much, I'm not a silver ticket, and I'm still cute. Cheng Zhou is just a child."
Yun Shen said seriously: "There are many people who got engaged at the age of 13."
Yun Xi was speechless, "Don't worry, I am still very dedicated. Unless one day I don't like you, otherwise I won't like others."
Yun Shen held her hand unconsciously, and when he was about to say something...the sound of coughing came.
Yun Xi turned her head, just in time to see Nanny Zhang passing by, her eyes fell on the hands they held.
Yun Xi withdrew her hand and said, "I'm going back to copy the books."
"...I will accompany you too."
Yun Shen dared to fight all kinds of rivals in love, but he was a little weak in front of the two nuns.
……
dinner.
Yun Xi looked at Cheng Zhou who appeared in Du's house speechlessly, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Du Zhou said with a smile: "I think it's pitiful for this child to stand on the street hungry. He and you know each other, so you brought him back."
Cheng Zhou was very sweet at this time, not like the brat who just appeared in front of Yun Xi, "Thanks to Mrs. Du's kindness, I didn't realize until I ran out of money that I forgot to bring money when I went down the mountain."
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, she took a mouthful of food silently, and did not speak.
After finishing eating, she took a chance and let out a soft snort, "Don't tell me you really went down the mountain without a penny."
A look of embarrassment rarely appeared on Cheng Zhou's face, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Didn't you plan to rob the rich and help the poor?"
Yun Xi remembered that this person's first stop was to find her nicknamed "Jade Rakshasa", and she was speechless.So he originally planned to slaughter her fat sheep?
She glared at him viciously, then strode away.
Cheng Zhou jogged to keep up with her, "Wait, I heard from the aunts in the city that you are recruiting people to copy books. I might as well help you copy books. You only need to prepare three meals for me and call me occasionally. One is enough, you don’t need to give me five taels of silver. But your food is really delicious..."
Yun Xi could hear a faint pain in her temples, why didn't she realize that Cheng Zhou was still a chatterbox! ?
Fortunately, this chatter was quickly taken away by Yun Shen who heard the news.When Yun Shen knew that as soon as he left, someone would enter the room openly, his face was as black as the bottom of a scorched pot.
He smiled slightly at Du Zhoushi, and said: "This is my distant cousin. My uncle and the others specially wrote to ask me to take good care of him. Let me take care of him."
When Cheng Zhou heard that he became Yunshen's cousin, he opened his mouth to deny it.
Yun Shen whispered in his ear, "Should I write a letter back and tell your master that when you came down from the mountain, you believed in false rumors and kicked the door, almost hurting my fiancée."
Cheng Zhou shut up immediately, and a ray of guilt flashed across his unconvinced face.
After he left Du's house, he also inquired about Yun Xi to some extent.Yun Xi is the pride of Fenghuang County, she has done countless good deeds, people in Fenghuang County can only speak good things about her.
Because of this guilt, he was obediently carried away by Yun Shen.
Yun Shen didn't completely ignore him, but let him live in his house.He wanted to throw this kid out, but his uncle said that for his master's sake, he had to take care of Cheng Zhou.Such a person who only knows martial arts in his eyes and doesn't know the world's sophistication, if he is put outside, he doesn't know when he will be tricked away.
The only thing he can do is to beat Cheng Zhou a few more times when he is practicing against him.
What surprised him was that Cheng Zhou really belonged to the type of fighting who fought more and more bravely, and his strength improved quite astonishingly during the duels again and again.If this damn kid hadn't been thinking about practicing against Yun Xi all day, he might still appreciate it a little bit.
... Only ghosts can appreciate this shameless brat.
Yun Shen watched Cheng Zhou pointing at the swollen place on his face with an aggrieved expression, and when Yun Xi complained that he beat him in the face, he unconsciously cut off the pen in his hand.
Not far away, Yun Xi, who was listening to Cheng Zhou's words, accidentally saw this scene, her eyelids twitched, and said, "Remember to pay me a pen tomorrow."
Damn it, it's true that her pen doesn't cost money!One or two, they like to pinch pens when they get angry.
Generally speaking, most of the daily life of the Du family is warm and happy.
……
At the end of October, thanks to the help of many people and the hard work of the hired students, Yun Xi finished all the transcriptions within a month and sent them all to the printing workshop for printing.
The printing workshop has already printed out the books she bought some time ago, each of which has printed at least twelve copies - the main reason is because Yun Xi has no shortage of books.
Yun Xi keeps two of each book at home, and the other ten are in the library.
Most of the students she invited to copy books did not ask for five taels of silver, but in exchange for ten designated books.Among the books that Yun Xi brought, there were some very rare ones on the market.
Yun Xi asked them to write down the books they wanted one by one, and then gave each of them a pre-prepared signboard, each with their names and places of origin engraved on them.After the book is printed, they can come to pick up the book with the sign and the piece of paper that Yun Xi sent them as a voucher.
Those people were a little puzzled, and one of them who was more active couldn't help asking: "Isn't it possible to claim it with this note?"
Yun Xi smiled, her smile was like a spring breeze, which made people feel good, "This brand will be very useful when you borrow books in the future." These scholars have good conduct, and they can be regarded as reluctantly trustworthy.
Seeing that they were still puzzled, she said, "In the future, with this sign, you can borrow books from the library back." She paused and said, "But you can only borrow books for seven days at a time, and return them within seven days." If you don’t pay a penny, but if you pay it after seven days, you will have to pay liquidated damages. Liquidated damages are counted in days, and more than two pennies per day.”
These people suddenly understood, with joyful expressions on their faces, they couldn't help but tighten their hands.You can borrow books and read them at home for free! , I didn’t expect to come to copy books this month, not only free food, but also to read so many books for free, and there will be such a good thing in the future!
Everyone couldn't help feeling Yun Xi's kindness.There are a lot of rich people in this era, but at most those people are just building a school, who like Yun Xi would put themselves in their shoes and consider these things.For them, there is a difference between them who lack enough books and those from aristocratic families.The reason why many ordinary scholars are inferior to those from aristocratic families in terms of knowledge is not due to talent... It's just that those aristocratic families have a huge collection of books.
If you read more books, you will naturally be more insightful than them.
The establishment of Yunxi's library undoubtedly solved their urgent needs.Maybe Yun Xi couldn't compare with those aristocratic families in terms of the amount of books they collected and the preciousness of the books, but she made this start, and she thought someone would continue this career, and it was impossible to become fat with one bite of food.
Thinking of this, these scholars became even more grateful to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi just smiled and said nothing.
She went to the printing shop to look again.In the past month, the printing workshop has been working overtime because Yun Xi wanted to get things done in the library as soon as possible.Seeing their hard work, Yun Xi specifically ordered Zhang Long, who manages the printing workshop, to double everyone's wages in the past two months.
Zhang Long immediately announced the good news on the spot, and the workers were so happy that they couldn't see.They work hard, isn't it just to make more money?
Yun Xi never misses things like this to gain fame.She knew very well how good fame was in this day and age.
She smiled and said: "If the latest batch of books can be finished before No. 15, then before the Chinese New Year, everyone will be given at least twenty catties of rice, two catties of fat meat and one catty of sugar."
When Yun Xi said this, there was another burst of boiling.The doubling of wages, plus the materials distributed before the Chinese New Year, are like delicious fat, tempting them to work hard.People in this era are relatively simple-minded, and their requirements are not high. This kind of treatment has already made them very satisfied.But they also know in their hearts that the prerequisite for getting it is to work hard.
Yun Xi sings a bad face, Zhang Long naturally has to play a bad face.He also said that if he catches someone being lazy or not serious enough, then don't blame him for not being sympathetic at that time.The treatment in the printing workshop is so good, so many people want to come in.
This carrot-and-stick policy is still quite effective, at least the workers have made it to the end one by one.
For the people in Zhuangzi, Yun Xi's methods are undoubtedly much more gentle.
This year, Zhuangzi made a lot of money because of the three industries, papermaking, down jackets, roast duck... each of them made a lot of money.
She calculated that these three industries have earned a full 6 taels of silver this year.A year later, there were 200 people on the Zhuangzi, and the number of people was almost full.
Yun Xi simply continued to buy a nearby field and built another Zhuangzi. The two Zhuangzi were next to each other, so that they could watch over and help each other.
The more money she makes, the better her treatment will be.Children under the age of ten can collect one hundred coins every month, and they are taken by adults to the city to buy things they like for a few days every month.For those women who went to work, Yunxi gave them two taels of silver every month.
Every season, everyone makes two new outfits.In winter, because of the colder weather, Yun Xi gave each person two more padded jackets, and there was a charcoal fire in the house.
She never forbade these people from leaving, and if they felt that their lives would be better after leaving, Yun Xi would not stop them either.
As it turns out, none of these people are fools.Staying on Zhuangzi, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they can even study and study accounts, and they still have wages in their hands.If they leave, their life will fall back to the original state.So in the end, there were only two people who left.
Both of these two had children at home, and they were worried about the children, so they chose to leave in the end.
Yun Xi didn't force it either.She is not afraid of leaking her money-making technology.After all, each of her processes is separated, and what everyone knows is their own step.In the most critical technical points, Yun Xi handed them over to his own people.
So no matter how curious the outside world is about the production of Lianshi paper and water pattern paper, until now they have not found any results.
Yindan chose ten girls from Zhuangzi, ranging in age from ten to twenty.The common feature of these girls is that their bones are pretty good.
Yun Xi originally wanted to train the women's army, so she paid attention to it when she came to Zhuangzi to teach them every month.She originally chose twenty, and then asked Yin Dan to continue to choose ten temperaments.
For these women, if it weren't for Yun Xi, their future is unknown.After hearing that if they were selected, they would be able to accompany Yun Xi and accept her guidance, many girls were very enthusiastic.
Yun Xi looked at the ones that Yin Dan had chosen, and found that she had a good eye, so she took all ten of them with her.
When all these girls are cultivated, she won't have to worry about the safety of her relatives at all.The names of these ten people are all solar terms.Beginning of Spring, Vernal Equinox, Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer, Xiaoman, Summer Solstice, Beginning of Autumn, Winter Solstice, Frost's Descent... If there are new additions in the future, you can continue to use other solar term names.In fact, these are also the names that each girl has chosen by herself.
Among them, the woman named Shuang Jiang has a delicate appearance and a cold expression, which is really a bit frosty.Shuang Jiang is the sixteenth year of this year, and his fate is also the most tortuous among these people.Her biological father died young, and her mother took her to remarry.However, her stepfather was a scumbag who defiled her, but her mother only wanted her to endure it.Even for the sake of a stable life, she even thought about changing her daughter's face to become her husband's concubine, so as to tie her philandering husband to remarry.
In the end, Shuang Jiang chose to chop off the roots of the descendants of that scum, and then escaped from that house.For her, abandoning the name of the past is like abandoning the past. From now on, she is just Frostfall.
Knowing her background, Yun Xi naturally asked everyone to take care of Shuang Jiang.Although Shuang Jiang doesn't seem to be approachable, he is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so he also made a few friends on the manor.It's just that to her, Yun Xi, who saved her and taught her martial arts and literacy, is the most important person.
So when Yin Dan said that she would choose some people to be beside Yun Xi, she nodded without thinking about it at all.
After Yun Xi weighed everyone's martial arts progress and temperament, she finally selected Shuang Jiang as the captain of the small team.Among these people, Shuang Jiang's talent is not only the best, but also the most sweat.Who doesn't like such a student.
Everything she planned went according to her idea, and slowly got on the right track.
……
Because of Yunxi's reward policy, the people in the printing workshop worked overtime, and finally printed all the books Yunxi needed before November [-]th.
And all proofreading, no mistakes.Yun Xi was really taken aback by their efficiency.
After she learned about this from Zhang Long, she was also very pleased, and asked Zhang Long to double his salary in October and November.Anyway, she has made a lot of gains in her book recently, and this little expenditure is just a drizzle.
Yun Xi thought about it, and it seems that there is no special book that needs to be printed recently.Yun Yao continued to write her second novel, but it won't be published for a while, at least until the beginning of next spring.
Yun Xi thought to herself: The printing workshop can't just sit and eat.After they come back, they will print more books that sell well. Her paper is produced in her own manor, and the cost is better because of the advanced technology, and the cost is lower.In addition, the cost of movable type printing has also greatly reduced the cost, and it will be completely lower than the price of other companies.
After quickly thinking up a plan in her mind, Yun Xi maintained a very happy mood and prepared to practice martial arts.
But when she knew that Yun Shen and Cheng Zhou had interrupted the peach tree planted in the garden when they were fighting, Yun Xi's expression darkened instantly.
The garden of Yunshen's house was basically arranged by Yun Xi. She even moved a peach tree there, but... now it was ruined by these two people.Even peach trees are like this, not to mention other flowers and plants.
Yun Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and threw both of them outside the door. It's better to blow the cold wind outside in winter to calm the mind.Maybe the next time the two know to find an open space.
Anyway, both of them have internal energy to protect their bodies, so they won't catch a cold if they blow the cold wind.
Cheng Zhou silently watched Yun Xi throw them out, then left angrily.
Unable to resist poking Yun Shen with his hand, Yun Shen avoided it directly, his eyes were cold - if it wasn't for this kid, how could he provoke Yun Xi to get so angry.
Cheng Zhou asked, "How long do we have to blow the wind outside?" Sister Du just said that this is the so-called wall-facing.
It doesn't matter to him facing the wall, but the two big men, standing outside and blowing the cold wind, coupled with their conspicuous appearance, are too eye-catching.
Yun Shen said indifferently, "I don't know." It was also the first time he was thrown out of his home.
Seeing more and more people watching, Cheng Zhou couldn't help but said: "You have the key to your own house, how about we just go in after facing the wall for a quarter of an hour?" He wanted to make a big splash with his martial arts. He doesn't need the way of becoming famous because of facing the wall!
Yun Shen sneered, "You can go in first."
Cheng Zhou glanced at him silently, and snorted, "I'm not going in, you let me in, you must be cheating me." He's not that stupid.
Yun Shen didn't speak in silence, just stared at the wall, practicing his physical strength by the way.
Cheng Zhou was also in a daze.
The crowd watched for a while, and found that the two people were just staring at the wall. After watching for a while, they felt that it was not much fun, so they dispersed.Before leaving, he could only mutter: "It's a strange hobby for rich people, they actually like to blow cold wind in winter."
The two pretended not to hear, and continued to babble independently in the cold wind.
After all, Yun Xi was just teaching the two of them a lesson. After blowing the wind for half an hour, she let them in when their anger had almost subsided, and she also gave them a bowl of hot ginger soup.
Cheng Zhou swallowed it all at once, and because he was not too old, he acted like a baby: "I don't like the taste of ginger, do you have candied fruit?"
Yun Xi stuffed it with the persimmon cakes that Granny Li from Fenghuang County had just delivered today.
Cheng Zhou took a bite, and immediately smiled. The 13-year-old boy is at his most youthful. When he smiles, it makes people feel that the whole room is much brighter.
After he finished eating one, he looked at Yun Xi eagerly, making him think of some kind of dog.
Yun Xi couldn't help but took another persimmon cake and fed it.
Yun Shen stood beside him, venting his murderous aura without any money.
He said, "Yun Xi, I also want to eat persimmon cakes."
Yun Xi raised her chin, "Well, there are a lot on the table, take it yourself." Feeding Yunshen is not as fun as feeding small animals!
Yun Shen was almost thrown backwards by this special treatment, and Cheng Zhou over there was biting a persimmon cake, and he didn't forget to fly a frightened look.
Yun Shen couldn't help grinding his teeth: "Wait a minute, he has to beat this kid up again!"Let him act cute!
……
It took Yun Xi three days to move all the books that had been rushed out of the printing workshop to the library.It is divided into books by category, and there is a label on each shelf, which shows the category of books owned by this bookshelf.Yun Xi also learned modern numbering, and made a lot of notes overnight, and then pasted them on the cover of each book.
In this way, when others borrow and return books in the future, it is also convenient to put the books back in their original places.However, she still handed over the work of pasting the stickers to the family members.
I wrote a booklet myself, with a number written under each book.If someone comes to ask where the book is, it is also convenient for them to find it.
This mode, which is commonplace in modern times, is undoubtedly refreshing in this era.
Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li were very amazed.The royal library does not know how many thousands of books there are. Every time you want to find them, the vast number of books can always make your head as big as a cow. If someone used this mode at that time, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient.
Yun Xi joked: "You must go back to the capital for this year's festival, do you want to give this as a New Year's gift?"
Yun Shen's identity has been officially restored, and he can no longer just stay in Fenghuang County during the Chinese New Year like before.
No matter how much he hated the Duke's mansion, he still had to go back.
When Yun Shen thought of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared without a trace.People in the Duke's Mansion are more appropriate to say that they are enemies than relatives.
Sensing his mood, Yun Xi held his hand directly under the table.She whispered: "If you don't like it, come back sooner."
Yun Shen's eyes fell on her and turned soft, "Of course."
In that mansion, he only stayed for three days at most.
My peace of mind is my home.His home is in Fenghuang County, in the imperial palace, but not in the Duke's mansion.
He seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes became far-reaching again: Maybe next year he should take Yun Xi to the capital to pay homage to his mother.His mother will definitely like Yun Xi very much.
As the canonized county lord, Yun Xi is also eligible to enter the palace to attend the annual banquet, and the annual banquet in the palace is on New Year's Eve.
Yun Xi really wasn't going to Beijing to participate.There were a lot of things in the past month, and Yun Xi didn't want to be unable to celebrate the New Year with her family because she went to Beijing. Anyway, she was not in the capital, and the emperor would not force her.
Although not participating, related gifts still have to be given.Chu Xiyuan has always treated Yun Shen well, and Yun Xi is also willing to respect him when he loves the house and Wu Xia.
She thought about it, and the only thing she could do was her forging method.
Yun Shen did not know where to get another piece of cold iron, and Yun Xi used this iron, using supernatural powers and internal strength, and spent several days working hard to forge a peerless sword, named Xuanyuan Sword.This can be regarded as a little thought about the past life.
Holding the sharp sword in his hand, Yun Shen smiled, "This gift from you can compare with all the gifts I have collected. No, it should be said that all the annual gifts given by other people in the capital are inferior to yours." Squeeze your head."
The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up, "Even if you just give me a piece of grass, he will be happy with it."
Yun Shen smiled and said nothing, then put the sword into the scabbard he specially made a few days ago.
Before he left Fenghuang County, he could catch up with the official opening of Yun Xi's library.
……
On November [-]th, the library that took Yunxi a lot of time can be regarded as officially opened.
Yun Xi directly named it the Golden House.There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book.
Those literati couldn't help but smile when they heard this name, isn't that so?There are at least [-] books in this "golden house". For scholars, it is a big golden house.
On the day of the opening of the library, Ren Zhifu heard the news and came from the state capital to cut the ribbon for the library.
The size of the library is not small, with an area of about six acres.It is divided into upper and lower floors.Yun Xi specially replaced the windows with glass, which also made the house look much brighter.Even if the owner of the glass shop gave her a discount for the replaced glass, it still cost her 2000 taels of silver in the end.
Walking into the room, looking around, there are rows of bookshelves on the left, and tables on the right.
A pot of daffodils is placed on the table, adding a ray of fragrance and vitality.
There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.Although Yun Xi has a few precious calligraphy and paintings in hand, she is reluctant to part with them.Anyway, Yun Shen's handwriting was no worse than that of the so-called calligraphers. She simply sent her fiancée to write several words, including some warning words from her previous life.
For example: "There are roads and diligence in the mountains of books, and there is no limit to the sea of learning and hard work."
"The insight of the world is knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article."
"Black hair doesn't know how to study early, but white hair regrets studying late."
These can be passed down through the ages in the previous life, and there is a certain reason for it.Yun Xi took it out in one go and stuck it on the wall, which really had a deafening effect on the newcomers. They stopped unconsciously, stood there, and looked at these slogans for a long time.
"County Du, are these all your works?" Ren Zhifu's eyes were full of astonishment, he had never heard these words before.
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curved slightly, but she still shook her head in denial, "No, I just saw these by accident on a tree, and because I was really impressed, I asked Yun Shen to write them down."
One person said with emotion: "I have never heard a single word of these words. I did not expect County Lord Du to be such a knowledgeable person."
The others couldn't help but nodded.There were so many people present, and none of them had heard these words, which must be said to be something to be amazed at.
Some people also realized that these were originally written by Yun Shen, who did not expect his calligraphy to be so outstanding.
The library has just opened, and Yun Xi's erudition and Yun Shen's handwriting have become famous first.
Looking at the quiet and elegant environment and the abundant books, many people showed a faint joy.
Yun Xi led them to the bookshelves on the other side. The books on these bookshelves were all gifts from her friends, so Yun Xi did not forget to put labels next to each bookshelf to help them spread their reputation.
Ren Zhifu's daughter was married long ago, and she was not from Daughter League, so she was not within Yun Xi's scope of borrowing books.
Looking at this scene, he was really envious.Ren Zhifu is also a smart person, and said directly: "My family also has some books, and I will send some over when the time comes."
Yun Xi threw peaches and plums, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the magistrate for the kindness of those students."
Yun Xi also directly distributed the wooden cards that had been prepared in advance to many people, and the Juren, Xiucai and Tongsheng in Fenghuang County all received the wooden cards.With the wooden sign, not only can you browse books in the house, but you can also borrow books to go home.
However, there were also a few who were excluded by her, such as Yu Hao, her ex-fiancé, and Ayu's brother Wu De.Yun Xi doesn't welcome people with bad character like this to come over and dirty her library.
As for those who don't have a wooden sign, they can also read books in the house, but they can't borrow the book back.For a person with fame, fame is more important than anything else, so naturally he won't ruin himself just to swallow a few books.But for other students, if they don't keep them together, they will have bad character.For the ones that were borrowed but not returned, Yun Xi would not only take back the wooden sign, but also post a notice to announce it to the world.
For this reason, Yunxi specially created a points system.
If you extract ten books for the library, not only can you get a designated book, but you can also have a wooden sign.As for the pen and ink needed, the library naturally helped out.It is also possible for the students to bring their own pen, ink, paper and inkstone to copy the books, and the copied books belong to them.
Listening to this rule, quite a few students without fame already planned to come over and copy a few more books when the time came.
When Ren Zhifu heard the words, there was a faint appreciation in his eyes: I didn't expect that although it was the first time for the county magistrate Du to build a library, he thought it was quite thoughtful and comprehensive.
Yun Xi smiled, "Our library welcomes volunteers."
Wang Xing, who became a scholar a few years ago, asked curiously: "What is a volunteer?"
Yun Xi explained: "The handling and registration of borrowing and returning books in the library must require volunteers to help maintain them. As volunteers for ten days, we will not only give away one-dollar water-marked paper and one-dollar continuous history paper, I will also give away a book." She didn't pay the wages directly, and it seemed tacky to give wages.If you are a scholar who wants to make money, you can sell this paper directly at that time, and you will get the living expenses for a few months.
As soon as this regulation came out, even some juren who maintained their own identities were moved.Even if the two kinds of paper in the Yunxi Paper Store sell for ten taels of silver, the supply is still in short supply, and they are sold out within a day.Many people regard this as an elegant gift.
If they could get such good treatment if they came to help for ten days, they would really be willing.
Yun Xi led them to the cabinet, and there was a big notice posted on the cabinet, which was nothing more than the library's regulations, such as not to damage books, and if they were damaged, they would either be compensated at the original price, or copied a new copy.
For example, if returning a book exceeds the time limit, you can come in person to extend it. A book can only be extended for up to 20 days.
Everyone looked at these regulations and felt that they were very reasonable.
In this library, Yun Xi plans to provide free tea every day.
After everyone has read these regulations, they can't help but ask the question they are most concerned about, "Can I start reading today?"
Yun Xi nodded and said, "The afternoon officially begins. The daily opening hours are from Chenshi to Youshi."
The first batch of volunteers were also five of them who came to copy books.Another benefit of volunteers is that the Du family provides three meals.
Everyone visited the library once, and when they heard that after noon, the official exhibition began, they couldn't help but look forward to it.
Looking at the anticipation and joy that could not be concealed on their faces, Yun Xi knew that her performance today was still very successful.
……
With the development of this library, Yun Xi's already very famous reputation has been improved to a higher level.
The Golden House spread from Fenghuang County to various places in Chuzhou, and sooner or later it would spread to other states, even the capital.
When every scholar talked about this incident, they were all amazed by her generosity, intelligence, and kindness.
Although there are some people who are jealous, Yun Xi has status and status, and now her reputation with everyone is too good.If anyone dared to show some disapproval of her, it would definitely be the rhythm of being sprayed to death.You must know that a literati's mouth can penetrate three points when they are mean.
There are also people who want to learn this trick, but they don't have a printing shop, and they don't have the shame to go everywhere to borrow books like Yun Xi.What's more, even if they did, they couldn't be more considerate than Yun Xi.What he did was not as good as Yunxi's, but it would be used for comparison. He wanted to do better, but he didn't know how much money it would cost, so he had to give up in the end.
At least in Chuzhou, no one has made this idea yet.
Many people from other counties who knew about the existence of the library also rushed over to borrow books.Yun Xi also sent out wooden signs to people with fame.For the villagers of Yanghe Village, Yun Xi never forgot their existence.For those children in the village who are studying, regardless of gender, regardless of whether they have achieved fame or not, she has issued wooden signs for borrowing books.
As for the volunteers, there are quite a few people who signed up, and they can queue up until next year, so Yun Xi is not too worried.But for volunteers, she first looks at character.
In this atmosphere that everyone praised, the Du family also happily prepared for the New Year.
Every year on Double Eleven, I feel so poor!
I'm back in Beijing, it's time to get married
(End of this chapter)
Yun Shen now regrets that he didn't punch this kid in the face more.The dead child's hair hasn't grown yet, so he's going to grab his wife?
Cheng Zhou raised his eyebrows, full of vigor, "I'm asking Sister Du."
Yun Shen's teeth were sore from being called by sister Du.
Yun Xi didn't know what was going on with the two of them, they just met, and they didn't like everything about each other.While she was wondering, the balance in her heart was still tilted towards Yun Shen. She pointed at Yun Shen and said with a smile, "How about you copy a copy and fight Yun Shen?"
When she put forward this opinion, she looked at Yun Shen with some hesitation, after all, Yun Shen had to agree to it.She could tell that this Cheng Zhou was a martial idiot, he wanted to practice with others all day long.
Yun Shen didn't refuse, but smiled instead. There was a bit of evil in the smile, and the facial features became more and more attractive, "Okay. I'll fight with him. It's cold, so it's good to exercise your muscles and bones."
Let's see if he doesn't beat the dead child until he cries for his father and mother to go back to his master.
Naturally, Cheng Zhou would not lose the wind, but he was ready to move, his fighting spirit burning, "Okay! One day, I will defeat you!"
His eyes were full of rebelliousness, as if seeing him saw the unyielding fighting spirit.
The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up, and said: "Okay, then it's settled!" Anyway, this kid is not slow to copy books, Yun Xi couldn't help but wonder if he was usually punished for copying books. got used to.Otherwise, when she asked him to copy the book, he wouldn't have resisted at all.
After Cheng Zhou left, Yun Shen said earnestly: "People with unknown background like this, it's better to be more careful."
Yun Xi looked at him suspiciously, "Do you know his identity?"
Yun Shen paused and said, "No, I don't know."
It wasn't that simple for Yun Xi to be fooled, her tone was very certain, "No, you must know each other..." Yun Xi paused for a moment, then overturned her guess, "From the first time the two of you met. Look, you may not have met each other, but you must know each other's existence. Did you guess it from the name or the way of martial arts?"
Yun Xi thought it was quite possible.Don't look at Cheng Zhou being oppressed and beaten by her and Yun Shen, but he is still young and very malleable.When he reaches Yun Xi's age, he will definitely be better at martial arts than she is now.
Even as a genius in the eyes of others, Yun Xi would not underestimate people of this era.As the saying goes, there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.
Yun Shen found that having a fiancée who was too smart and sensitive was not very kind sometimes, at least it was inconvenient to fool her.
He looked at Yun Xi's expression of "you'd better be honest", and said concisely: "Judging from his martial arts skills, his master and my little uncle are friends."
The little uncle Yun Shen was talking about was Meng Liang.
Yun Xi understood, and then looked at him speechlessly, "Since that's the case, why don't you say that he has unknown origins." You really are bullying children.
Yun Shen didn't speak, but was a little embarrassed by Yun Xi's laugh.
After Yun Xi laughed, she also came to her senses, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Wait, aren't you jealous?"
Unlike other men, Yun Shen is ashamed to admit that he is jealous, and even likes to hide his feelings.Even when he was jealous, he was frank and frank, "I am jealous, that kid obviously has evil intentions."
He understood Yun Xi's attraction to Cheng Zhou very well.
Strong in force, beautiful in appearance, and outstanding in temperament, while powerful, he also has a gentle side.Such a type is extremely lethal to a young man who has just come down the mountain and has never seen the world.
But he had heard from his little uncle that the boy was so rebellious that Yun Xi had asked him to copy books, so he obediently went.Yun Shen had to feel a huge sense of crisis.
After Yun Xi understood what was going on, she chuckled, "You think too much, I'm not a silver ticket, and I'm still cute. Cheng Zhou is just a child."
Yun Shen said seriously: "There are many people who got engaged at the age of 13."
Yun Xi was speechless, "Don't worry, I am still very dedicated. Unless one day I don't like you, otherwise I won't like others."
Yun Shen held her hand unconsciously, and when he was about to say something...the sound of coughing came.
Yun Xi turned her head, just in time to see Nanny Zhang passing by, her eyes fell on the hands they held.
Yun Xi withdrew her hand and said, "I'm going back to copy the books."
"...I will accompany you too."
Yun Shen dared to fight all kinds of rivals in love, but he was a little weak in front of the two nuns.
……
dinner.
Yun Xi looked at Cheng Zhou who appeared in Du's house speechlessly, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Du Zhou said with a smile: "I think it's pitiful for this child to stand on the street hungry. He and you know each other, so you brought him back."
Cheng Zhou was very sweet at this time, not like the brat who just appeared in front of Yun Xi, "Thanks to Mrs. Du's kindness, I didn't realize until I ran out of money that I forgot to bring money when I went down the mountain."
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, she took a mouthful of food silently, and did not speak.
After finishing eating, she took a chance and let out a soft snort, "Don't tell me you really went down the mountain without a penny."
A look of embarrassment rarely appeared on Cheng Zhou's face, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Didn't you plan to rob the rich and help the poor?"
Yun Xi remembered that this person's first stop was to find her nicknamed "Jade Rakshasa", and she was speechless.So he originally planned to slaughter her fat sheep?
She glared at him viciously, then strode away.
Cheng Zhou jogged to keep up with her, "Wait, I heard from the aunts in the city that you are recruiting people to copy books. I might as well help you copy books. You only need to prepare three meals for me and call me occasionally. One is enough, you don’t need to give me five taels of silver. But your food is really delicious..."
Yun Xi could hear a faint pain in her temples, why didn't she realize that Cheng Zhou was still a chatterbox! ?
Fortunately, this chatter was quickly taken away by Yun Shen who heard the news.When Yun Shen knew that as soon as he left, someone would enter the room openly, his face was as black as the bottom of a scorched pot.
He smiled slightly at Du Zhoushi, and said: "This is my distant cousin. My uncle and the others specially wrote to ask me to take good care of him. Let me take care of him."
When Cheng Zhou heard that he became Yunshen's cousin, he opened his mouth to deny it.
Yun Shen whispered in his ear, "Should I write a letter back and tell your master that when you came down from the mountain, you believed in false rumors and kicked the door, almost hurting my fiancée."
Cheng Zhou shut up immediately, and a ray of guilt flashed across his unconvinced face.
After he left Du's house, he also inquired about Yun Xi to some extent.Yun Xi is the pride of Fenghuang County, she has done countless good deeds, people in Fenghuang County can only speak good things about her.
Because of this guilt, he was obediently carried away by Yun Shen.
Yun Shen didn't completely ignore him, but let him live in his house.He wanted to throw this kid out, but his uncle said that for his master's sake, he had to take care of Cheng Zhou.Such a person who only knows martial arts in his eyes and doesn't know the world's sophistication, if he is put outside, he doesn't know when he will be tricked away.
The only thing he can do is to beat Cheng Zhou a few more times when he is practicing against him.
What surprised him was that Cheng Zhou really belonged to the type of fighting who fought more and more bravely, and his strength improved quite astonishingly during the duels again and again.If this damn kid hadn't been thinking about practicing against Yun Xi all day, he might still appreciate it a little bit.
... Only ghosts can appreciate this shameless brat.
Yun Shen watched Cheng Zhou pointing at the swollen place on his face with an aggrieved expression, and when Yun Xi complained that he beat him in the face, he unconsciously cut off the pen in his hand.
Not far away, Yun Xi, who was listening to Cheng Zhou's words, accidentally saw this scene, her eyelids twitched, and said, "Remember to pay me a pen tomorrow."
Damn it, it's true that her pen doesn't cost money!One or two, they like to pinch pens when they get angry.
Generally speaking, most of the daily life of the Du family is warm and happy.
……
At the end of October, thanks to the help of many people and the hard work of the hired students, Yun Xi finished all the transcriptions within a month and sent them all to the printing workshop for printing.
The printing workshop has already printed out the books she bought some time ago, each of which has printed at least twelve copies - the main reason is because Yun Xi has no shortage of books.
Yun Xi keeps two of each book at home, and the other ten are in the library.
Most of the students she invited to copy books did not ask for five taels of silver, but in exchange for ten designated books.Among the books that Yun Xi brought, there were some very rare ones on the market.
Yun Xi asked them to write down the books they wanted one by one, and then gave each of them a pre-prepared signboard, each with their names and places of origin engraved on them.After the book is printed, they can come to pick up the book with the sign and the piece of paper that Yun Xi sent them as a voucher.
Those people were a little puzzled, and one of them who was more active couldn't help asking: "Isn't it possible to claim it with this note?"
Yun Xi smiled, her smile was like a spring breeze, which made people feel good, "This brand will be very useful when you borrow books in the future." These scholars have good conduct, and they can be regarded as reluctantly trustworthy.
Seeing that they were still puzzled, she said, "In the future, with this sign, you can borrow books from the library back." She paused and said, "But you can only borrow books for seven days at a time, and return them within seven days." If you don’t pay a penny, but if you pay it after seven days, you will have to pay liquidated damages. Liquidated damages are counted in days, and more than two pennies per day.”
These people suddenly understood, with joyful expressions on their faces, they couldn't help but tighten their hands.You can borrow books and read them at home for free! , I didn’t expect to come to copy books this month, not only free food, but also to read so many books for free, and there will be such a good thing in the future!
Everyone couldn't help feeling Yun Xi's kindness.There are a lot of rich people in this era, but at most those people are just building a school, who like Yun Xi would put themselves in their shoes and consider these things.For them, there is a difference between them who lack enough books and those from aristocratic families.The reason why many ordinary scholars are inferior to those from aristocratic families in terms of knowledge is not due to talent... It's just that those aristocratic families have a huge collection of books.
If you read more books, you will naturally be more insightful than them.
The establishment of Yunxi's library undoubtedly solved their urgent needs.Maybe Yun Xi couldn't compare with those aristocratic families in terms of the amount of books they collected and the preciousness of the books, but she made this start, and she thought someone would continue this career, and it was impossible to become fat with one bite of food.
Thinking of this, these scholars became even more grateful to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi just smiled and said nothing.
She went to the printing shop to look again.In the past month, the printing workshop has been working overtime because Yun Xi wanted to get things done in the library as soon as possible.Seeing their hard work, Yun Xi specifically ordered Zhang Long, who manages the printing workshop, to double everyone's wages in the past two months.
Zhang Long immediately announced the good news on the spot, and the workers were so happy that they couldn't see.They work hard, isn't it just to make more money?
Yun Xi never misses things like this to gain fame.She knew very well how good fame was in this day and age.
She smiled and said: "If the latest batch of books can be finished before No. 15, then before the Chinese New Year, everyone will be given at least twenty catties of rice, two catties of fat meat and one catty of sugar."
When Yun Xi said this, there was another burst of boiling.The doubling of wages, plus the materials distributed before the Chinese New Year, are like delicious fat, tempting them to work hard.People in this era are relatively simple-minded, and their requirements are not high. This kind of treatment has already made them very satisfied.But they also know in their hearts that the prerequisite for getting it is to work hard.
Yun Xi sings a bad face, Zhang Long naturally has to play a bad face.He also said that if he catches someone being lazy or not serious enough, then don't blame him for not being sympathetic at that time.The treatment in the printing workshop is so good, so many people want to come in.
This carrot-and-stick policy is still quite effective, at least the workers have made it to the end one by one.
For the people in Zhuangzi, Yun Xi's methods are undoubtedly much more gentle.
This year, Zhuangzi made a lot of money because of the three industries, papermaking, down jackets, roast duck... each of them made a lot of money.
She calculated that these three industries have earned a full 6 taels of silver this year.A year later, there were 200 people on the Zhuangzi, and the number of people was almost full.
Yun Xi simply continued to buy a nearby field and built another Zhuangzi. The two Zhuangzi were next to each other, so that they could watch over and help each other.
The more money she makes, the better her treatment will be.Children under the age of ten can collect one hundred coins every month, and they are taken by adults to the city to buy things they like for a few days every month.For those women who went to work, Yunxi gave them two taels of silver every month.
Every season, everyone makes two new outfits.In winter, because of the colder weather, Yun Xi gave each person two more padded jackets, and there was a charcoal fire in the house.
She never forbade these people from leaving, and if they felt that their lives would be better after leaving, Yun Xi would not stop them either.
As it turns out, none of these people are fools.Staying on Zhuangzi, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they can even study and study accounts, and they still have wages in their hands.If they leave, their life will fall back to the original state.So in the end, there were only two people who left.
Both of these two had children at home, and they were worried about the children, so they chose to leave in the end.
Yun Xi didn't force it either.She is not afraid of leaking her money-making technology.After all, each of her processes is separated, and what everyone knows is their own step.In the most critical technical points, Yun Xi handed them over to his own people.
So no matter how curious the outside world is about the production of Lianshi paper and water pattern paper, until now they have not found any results.
Yindan chose ten girls from Zhuangzi, ranging in age from ten to twenty.The common feature of these girls is that their bones are pretty good.
Yun Xi originally wanted to train the women's army, so she paid attention to it when she came to Zhuangzi to teach them every month.She originally chose twenty, and then asked Yin Dan to continue to choose ten temperaments.
For these women, if it weren't for Yun Xi, their future is unknown.After hearing that if they were selected, they would be able to accompany Yun Xi and accept her guidance, many girls were very enthusiastic.
Yun Xi looked at the ones that Yin Dan had chosen, and found that she had a good eye, so she took all ten of them with her.
When all these girls are cultivated, she won't have to worry about the safety of her relatives at all.The names of these ten people are all solar terms.Beginning of Spring, Vernal Equinox, Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer, Xiaoman, Summer Solstice, Beginning of Autumn, Winter Solstice, Frost's Descent... If there are new additions in the future, you can continue to use other solar term names.In fact, these are also the names that each girl has chosen by herself.
Among them, the woman named Shuang Jiang has a delicate appearance and a cold expression, which is really a bit frosty.Shuang Jiang is the sixteenth year of this year, and his fate is also the most tortuous among these people.Her biological father died young, and her mother took her to remarry.However, her stepfather was a scumbag who defiled her, but her mother only wanted her to endure it.Even for the sake of a stable life, she even thought about changing her daughter's face to become her husband's concubine, so as to tie her philandering husband to remarry.
In the end, Shuang Jiang chose to chop off the roots of the descendants of that scum, and then escaped from that house.For her, abandoning the name of the past is like abandoning the past. From now on, she is just Frostfall.
Knowing her background, Yun Xi naturally asked everyone to take care of Shuang Jiang.Although Shuang Jiang doesn't seem to be approachable, he is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so he also made a few friends on the manor.It's just that to her, Yun Xi, who saved her and taught her martial arts and literacy, is the most important person.
So when Yin Dan said that she would choose some people to be beside Yun Xi, she nodded without thinking about it at all.
After Yun Xi weighed everyone's martial arts progress and temperament, she finally selected Shuang Jiang as the captain of the small team.Among these people, Shuang Jiang's talent is not only the best, but also the most sweat.Who doesn't like such a student.
Everything she planned went according to her idea, and slowly got on the right track.
……
Because of Yunxi's reward policy, the people in the printing workshop worked overtime, and finally printed all the books Yunxi needed before November [-]th.
And all proofreading, no mistakes.Yun Xi was really taken aback by their efficiency.
After she learned about this from Zhang Long, she was also very pleased, and asked Zhang Long to double his salary in October and November.Anyway, she has made a lot of gains in her book recently, and this little expenditure is just a drizzle.
Yun Xi thought about it, and it seems that there is no special book that needs to be printed recently.Yun Yao continued to write her second novel, but it won't be published for a while, at least until the beginning of next spring.
Yun Xi thought to herself: The printing workshop can't just sit and eat.After they come back, they will print more books that sell well. Her paper is produced in her own manor, and the cost is better because of the advanced technology, and the cost is lower.In addition, the cost of movable type printing has also greatly reduced the cost, and it will be completely lower than the price of other companies.
After quickly thinking up a plan in her mind, Yun Xi maintained a very happy mood and prepared to practice martial arts.
But when she knew that Yun Shen and Cheng Zhou had interrupted the peach tree planted in the garden when they were fighting, Yun Xi's expression darkened instantly.
The garden of Yunshen's house was basically arranged by Yun Xi. She even moved a peach tree there, but... now it was ruined by these two people.Even peach trees are like this, not to mention other flowers and plants.
Yun Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and threw both of them outside the door. It's better to blow the cold wind outside in winter to calm the mind.Maybe the next time the two know to find an open space.
Anyway, both of them have internal energy to protect their bodies, so they won't catch a cold if they blow the cold wind.
Cheng Zhou silently watched Yun Xi throw them out, then left angrily.
Unable to resist poking Yun Shen with his hand, Yun Shen avoided it directly, his eyes were cold - if it wasn't for this kid, how could he provoke Yun Xi to get so angry.
Cheng Zhou asked, "How long do we have to blow the wind outside?" Sister Du just said that this is the so-called wall-facing.
It doesn't matter to him facing the wall, but the two big men, standing outside and blowing the cold wind, coupled with their conspicuous appearance, are too eye-catching.
Yun Shen said indifferently, "I don't know." It was also the first time he was thrown out of his home.
Seeing more and more people watching, Cheng Zhou couldn't help but said: "You have the key to your own house, how about we just go in after facing the wall for a quarter of an hour?" He wanted to make a big splash with his martial arts. He doesn't need the way of becoming famous because of facing the wall!
Yun Shen sneered, "You can go in first."
Cheng Zhou glanced at him silently, and snorted, "I'm not going in, you let me in, you must be cheating me." He's not that stupid.
Yun Shen didn't speak in silence, just stared at the wall, practicing his physical strength by the way.
Cheng Zhou was also in a daze.
The crowd watched for a while, and found that the two people were just staring at the wall. After watching for a while, they felt that it was not much fun, so they dispersed.Before leaving, he could only mutter: "It's a strange hobby for rich people, they actually like to blow cold wind in winter."
The two pretended not to hear, and continued to babble independently in the cold wind.
After all, Yun Xi was just teaching the two of them a lesson. After blowing the wind for half an hour, she let them in when their anger had almost subsided, and she also gave them a bowl of hot ginger soup.
Cheng Zhou swallowed it all at once, and because he was not too old, he acted like a baby: "I don't like the taste of ginger, do you have candied fruit?"
Yun Xi stuffed it with the persimmon cakes that Granny Li from Fenghuang County had just delivered today.
Cheng Zhou took a bite, and immediately smiled. The 13-year-old boy is at his most youthful. When he smiles, it makes people feel that the whole room is much brighter.
After he finished eating one, he looked at Yun Xi eagerly, making him think of some kind of dog.
Yun Xi couldn't help but took another persimmon cake and fed it.
Yun Shen stood beside him, venting his murderous aura without any money.
He said, "Yun Xi, I also want to eat persimmon cakes."
Yun Xi raised her chin, "Well, there are a lot on the table, take it yourself." Feeding Yunshen is not as fun as feeding small animals!
Yun Shen was almost thrown backwards by this special treatment, and Cheng Zhou over there was biting a persimmon cake, and he didn't forget to fly a frightened look.
Yun Shen couldn't help grinding his teeth: "Wait a minute, he has to beat this kid up again!"Let him act cute!
……
It took Yun Xi three days to move all the books that had been rushed out of the printing workshop to the library.It is divided into books by category, and there is a label on each shelf, which shows the category of books owned by this bookshelf.Yun Xi also learned modern numbering, and made a lot of notes overnight, and then pasted them on the cover of each book.
In this way, when others borrow and return books in the future, it is also convenient to put the books back in their original places.However, she still handed over the work of pasting the stickers to the family members.
I wrote a booklet myself, with a number written under each book.If someone comes to ask where the book is, it is also convenient for them to find it.
This mode, which is commonplace in modern times, is undoubtedly refreshing in this era.
Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li were very amazed.The royal library does not know how many thousands of books there are. Every time you want to find them, the vast number of books can always make your head as big as a cow. If someone used this mode at that time, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient.
Yun Xi joked: "You must go back to the capital for this year's festival, do you want to give this as a New Year's gift?"
Yun Shen's identity has been officially restored, and he can no longer just stay in Fenghuang County during the Chinese New Year like before.
No matter how much he hated the Duke's mansion, he still had to go back.
When Yun Shen thought of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared without a trace.People in the Duke's Mansion are more appropriate to say that they are enemies than relatives.
Sensing his mood, Yun Xi held his hand directly under the table.She whispered: "If you don't like it, come back sooner."
Yun Shen's eyes fell on her and turned soft, "Of course."
In that mansion, he only stayed for three days at most.
My peace of mind is my home.His home is in Fenghuang County, in the imperial palace, but not in the Duke's mansion.
He seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes became far-reaching again: Maybe next year he should take Yun Xi to the capital to pay homage to his mother.His mother will definitely like Yun Xi very much.
As the canonized county lord, Yun Xi is also eligible to enter the palace to attend the annual banquet, and the annual banquet in the palace is on New Year's Eve.
Yun Xi really wasn't going to Beijing to participate.There were a lot of things in the past month, and Yun Xi didn't want to be unable to celebrate the New Year with her family because she went to Beijing. Anyway, she was not in the capital, and the emperor would not force her.
Although not participating, related gifts still have to be given.Chu Xiyuan has always treated Yun Shen well, and Yun Xi is also willing to respect him when he loves the house and Wu Xia.
She thought about it, and the only thing she could do was her forging method.
Yun Shen did not know where to get another piece of cold iron, and Yun Xi used this iron, using supernatural powers and internal strength, and spent several days working hard to forge a peerless sword, named Xuanyuan Sword.This can be regarded as a little thought about the past life.
Holding the sharp sword in his hand, Yun Shen smiled, "This gift from you can compare with all the gifts I have collected. No, it should be said that all the annual gifts given by other people in the capital are inferior to yours." Squeeze your head."
The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up, "Even if you just give me a piece of grass, he will be happy with it."
Yun Shen smiled and said nothing, then put the sword into the scabbard he specially made a few days ago.
Before he left Fenghuang County, he could catch up with the official opening of Yun Xi's library.
……
On November [-]th, the library that took Yunxi a lot of time can be regarded as officially opened.
Yun Xi directly named it the Golden House.There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book.
Those literati couldn't help but smile when they heard this name, isn't that so?There are at least [-] books in this "golden house". For scholars, it is a big golden house.
On the day of the opening of the library, Ren Zhifu heard the news and came from the state capital to cut the ribbon for the library.
The size of the library is not small, with an area of about six acres.It is divided into upper and lower floors.Yun Xi specially replaced the windows with glass, which also made the house look much brighter.Even if the owner of the glass shop gave her a discount for the replaced glass, it still cost her 2000 taels of silver in the end.
Walking into the room, looking around, there are rows of bookshelves on the left, and tables on the right.
A pot of daffodils is placed on the table, adding a ray of fragrance and vitality.
There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.Although Yun Xi has a few precious calligraphy and paintings in hand, she is reluctant to part with them.Anyway, Yun Shen's handwriting was no worse than that of the so-called calligraphers. She simply sent her fiancée to write several words, including some warning words from her previous life.
For example: "There are roads and diligence in the mountains of books, and there is no limit to the sea of learning and hard work."
"The insight of the world is knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article."
"Black hair doesn't know how to study early, but white hair regrets studying late."
These can be passed down through the ages in the previous life, and there is a certain reason for it.Yun Xi took it out in one go and stuck it on the wall, which really had a deafening effect on the newcomers. They stopped unconsciously, stood there, and looked at these slogans for a long time.
"County Du, are these all your works?" Ren Zhifu's eyes were full of astonishment, he had never heard these words before.
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curved slightly, but she still shook her head in denial, "No, I just saw these by accident on a tree, and because I was really impressed, I asked Yun Shen to write them down."
One person said with emotion: "I have never heard a single word of these words. I did not expect County Lord Du to be such a knowledgeable person."
The others couldn't help but nodded.There were so many people present, and none of them had heard these words, which must be said to be something to be amazed at.
Some people also realized that these were originally written by Yun Shen, who did not expect his calligraphy to be so outstanding.
The library has just opened, and Yun Xi's erudition and Yun Shen's handwriting have become famous first.
Looking at the quiet and elegant environment and the abundant books, many people showed a faint joy.
Yun Xi led them to the bookshelves on the other side. The books on these bookshelves were all gifts from her friends, so Yun Xi did not forget to put labels next to each bookshelf to help them spread their reputation.
Ren Zhifu's daughter was married long ago, and she was not from Daughter League, so she was not within Yun Xi's scope of borrowing books.
Looking at this scene, he was really envious.Ren Zhifu is also a smart person, and said directly: "My family also has some books, and I will send some over when the time comes."
Yun Xi threw peaches and plums, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the magistrate for the kindness of those students."
Yun Xi also directly distributed the wooden cards that had been prepared in advance to many people, and the Juren, Xiucai and Tongsheng in Fenghuang County all received the wooden cards.With the wooden sign, not only can you browse books in the house, but you can also borrow books to go home.
However, there were also a few who were excluded by her, such as Yu Hao, her ex-fiancé, and Ayu's brother Wu De.Yun Xi doesn't welcome people with bad character like this to come over and dirty her library.
As for those who don't have a wooden sign, they can also read books in the house, but they can't borrow the book back.For a person with fame, fame is more important than anything else, so naturally he won't ruin himself just to swallow a few books.But for other students, if they don't keep them together, they will have bad character.For the ones that were borrowed but not returned, Yun Xi would not only take back the wooden sign, but also post a notice to announce it to the world.
For this reason, Yunxi specially created a points system.
If you extract ten books for the library, not only can you get a designated book, but you can also have a wooden sign.As for the pen and ink needed, the library naturally helped out.It is also possible for the students to bring their own pen, ink, paper and inkstone to copy the books, and the copied books belong to them.
Listening to this rule, quite a few students without fame already planned to come over and copy a few more books when the time came.
When Ren Zhifu heard the words, there was a faint appreciation in his eyes: I didn't expect that although it was the first time for the county magistrate Du to build a library, he thought it was quite thoughtful and comprehensive.
Yun Xi smiled, "Our library welcomes volunteers."
Wang Xing, who became a scholar a few years ago, asked curiously: "What is a volunteer?"
Yun Xi explained: "The handling and registration of borrowing and returning books in the library must require volunteers to help maintain them. As volunteers for ten days, we will not only give away one-dollar water-marked paper and one-dollar continuous history paper, I will also give away a book." She didn't pay the wages directly, and it seemed tacky to give wages.If you are a scholar who wants to make money, you can sell this paper directly at that time, and you will get the living expenses for a few months.
As soon as this regulation came out, even some juren who maintained their own identities were moved.Even if the two kinds of paper in the Yunxi Paper Store sell for ten taels of silver, the supply is still in short supply, and they are sold out within a day.Many people regard this as an elegant gift.
If they could get such good treatment if they came to help for ten days, they would really be willing.
Yun Xi led them to the cabinet, and there was a big notice posted on the cabinet, which was nothing more than the library's regulations, such as not to damage books, and if they were damaged, they would either be compensated at the original price, or copied a new copy.
For example, if returning a book exceeds the time limit, you can come in person to extend it. A book can only be extended for up to 20 days.
Everyone looked at these regulations and felt that they were very reasonable.
In this library, Yun Xi plans to provide free tea every day.
After everyone has read these regulations, they can't help but ask the question they are most concerned about, "Can I start reading today?"
Yun Xi nodded and said, "The afternoon officially begins. The daily opening hours are from Chenshi to Youshi."
The first batch of volunteers were also five of them who came to copy books.Another benefit of volunteers is that the Du family provides three meals.
Everyone visited the library once, and when they heard that after noon, the official exhibition began, they couldn't help but look forward to it.
Looking at the anticipation and joy that could not be concealed on their faces, Yun Xi knew that her performance today was still very successful.
……
With the development of this library, Yun Xi's already very famous reputation has been improved to a higher level.
The Golden House spread from Fenghuang County to various places in Chuzhou, and sooner or later it would spread to other states, even the capital.
When every scholar talked about this incident, they were all amazed by her generosity, intelligence, and kindness.
Although there are some people who are jealous, Yun Xi has status and status, and now her reputation with everyone is too good.If anyone dared to show some disapproval of her, it would definitely be the rhythm of being sprayed to death.You must know that a literati's mouth can penetrate three points when they are mean.
There are also people who want to learn this trick, but they don't have a printing shop, and they don't have the shame to go everywhere to borrow books like Yun Xi.What's more, even if they did, they couldn't be more considerate than Yun Xi.What he did was not as good as Yunxi's, but it would be used for comparison. He wanted to do better, but he didn't know how much money it would cost, so he had to give up in the end.
At least in Chuzhou, no one has made this idea yet.
Many people from other counties who knew about the existence of the library also rushed over to borrow books.Yun Xi also sent out wooden signs to people with fame.For the villagers of Yanghe Village, Yun Xi never forgot their existence.For those children in the village who are studying, regardless of gender, regardless of whether they have achieved fame or not, she has issued wooden signs for borrowing books.
As for the volunteers, there are quite a few people who signed up, and they can queue up until next year, so Yun Xi is not too worried.But for volunteers, she first looks at character.
In this atmosphere that everyone praised, the Du family also happily prepared for the New Year.
Every year on Double Eleven, I feel so poor!
I'm back in Beijing, it's time to get married
