First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 489

After all, they more or less know how popular their grandson is!

Among other things, in Yingtian City, from the royal family to civil servants and generals, who would not want to be married to Lu Wangfu!When this kid goes back, he may be followed by a group of people, and it is almost impossible to come back on time.

But in fact Zhang Shuning not only came back, but also came back early.

Let the old couple be surprised.

"Thanks to my dad! It's all thanks to him."

Zhang Shuning just said a word, and came up to the two players who were playing chess. Grandpa smiled and said: "Shuning, Zhifeng is really good, she has only learned how to play chess for five years, and she will surpass me!"

Zhang Shuning was slightly taken aback, but he was not surprised, after all, he knew how terrifying this little girl was.

"Xia Zhifeng, thank you for taking care of the second elder for me...I brought a lot of books back."

Seeing him come back, the little girl was pleasantly surprised, but also a little shy... She really coveted Zhang Shuning's study, and she still came to copy books every day, and then helped clean up. Gradually, she got along well with the elder.

Chat with the elderly, play chess with the elderly, and help them relieve their boredom.

Gradually, the second elder also fell in love with this clever girl.

"It's me copying books here, and it's my grandparents who dote on me... You just came back today, so I won't bother you, let's chat!"

The little girl turned to leave, but Zhang Shuning was startled, "Wait!"

Immediately he reached out and took out a copy of The Romance of the West Chamber and the Palace of Eternal Life...The Story of the West Chamber is Wang Shifu's work, but the Palace of Longevity is a new work. It is not always true if it is said to be a new work, because another opera master Bai Pu has "Tang Minghuang's Autumn Night Indus Rain" "The work tells the story of Tang Minghuang staying in the Jiange at night and crying bitterly for Concubine Yang Gui.

Is Bai Pu an original?

In fact, it is not, at least in Song Ci, there is the brand of Yu Linling... The source is Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei.

Similarly, Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, including Journey to the West, all had versions circulated very early.

In the end, it was assembled into a book, and after several deletions and finalizations, it finally became the current version that has been passed down for a long time.

"These two essays are quite beautiful. Read them first, and then come back when you are free tomorrow. I have a lot of books here!"

Xia Zhifeng reached out to take the two books, and glanced at the boxes from the corner of her eyes, her pupils glowed, "Then, are those?"

Zhang Shuning smiled faintly, "There will be more to come!"

Xia Zhifeng was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine how a person could have so many books?

Now that she came to Zhang Shuning to copy books, the biggest problem was not how much she could write, but how much paper, pens and inkstones she could afford!

Who would have thought that he would be troubled by too many books!

Xia Zhifeng felt that she was going crazy... She had to select the important parts from a pile of books and write them down in her notebook. As for the rest, she tried to keep them in her head.

Even so, she couldn't read Zhang Shuning's collection of books.

Fortunately, Zhang Shuning made so much again!

His father, the bookseller, is really amazing!

The little girl really couldn't resist the temptation of the book, so she could only agree, and then bounced and ran away holding The Story of the West Chamber and the Palace of Eternal Life.

After she left, the old couple set their sights on Zhang Shuning.

"Our young master, has he not been eaten?"

Zhang Shuning blushed, "Your Majesty asked the second brother."

"Chengtian? Could it be that he was chosen?"

"No! He said that he would marry seven of them at once, and His Majesty was so angry that he had nothing to say." Zhang Shuning honestly talked about the affairs in Beijing, and also about the royal princess, who collectively couldn't answer the question he asked.

Only then did the old couple suddenly realize that grandma couldn't help but hugged Zhang Shuning and kissed him hard!

"Good boy! It's your credit for daring to love the compulsory education!"

Zhang Shuning quickly shook his head, "It's not that much, in fact, father has already prepared... Father is really good!" When Zhang Shuning said this, he couldn't help but think of the scene of his father teaching His Majesty.

I can't help but sigh!

That is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, Emperor Hongwu!

Command millions of troops and create a dynasty.

In the prosperous Ming Dynasty, the sky was at its peak.

In the end, such a powerful emperor was treated as a student by his father... That scene alone was engraved in Zhang Shuning's heart and became an indelible memory.

The old couple had nothing to say, "Our son-in-law is really extraordinary! Shu Ning, you have to learn from your father in the future!"

Zhang Shuning hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I can't learn, my father is too good. I want to do something small now, print literacy cards, sell them, and exchange for some money. Pay back the money owed to my father as soon as possible!"

The old couple can't understand the thinking of their grandson, that's your father, he gave you money, why are you in a hurry to pay it back?

Father and son, do you want to settle accounts?

Zhang Shuning really thought so, he wanted to do things according to his own mind, and his father was a ruthless character who covered the sky with one hand.If you want to get rid of your father's control, you must become financially independent as soon as possible.

If he relied on his father for everything, one day, when his father made a request, he would not be able to refuse... What if his father asked him to marry the princess?

No, that's too scary, just thinking about it makes one's pores stand on end.

It must be stopped early!

The next day, while Zhang Shuning was sorting out books, Xia Zhifeng came. The little girl's eyes were red, obviously crying.

"Concubine Yang and Tang Minghuang are too pitiful, why is there an Anshi Rebellion?"

Zhang Shuning frowned, "This matter is very complicated, are you sure you want to listen?"

Xia Zhifeng thought for a while and said, "I read some history books, but I still can't figure it out."

Zhang Shuning said: "Actually, I don't understand either. I just heard from my father that he said that the people are the foundation. The Great Tang lost the hearts of the people and ruined the government and soldiers to equalize the land... As for more things, I don't know."

Xia Zhifeng frowned, "Minben, Juntian! Isn't that what Zhang Xianggong said? I read it in your newspaper, Zhang Xianggong often writes articles, and other people's articles also mention him... By the way, have you met Mr. Zhang when you came to Beijing this time? What does he look like?"

Zhang Shuning was stunned, and said in a low voice: "I'm just a child, where can I see you? But this time I came to Beijing, I thought of one thing."

Zhang Shuning couldn't wait to change the subject, he dug out a copy of Water Margin, there are many versions of this thing on the market, but good and bad are mixed.

However, what Shi Naian wrote in person has limited circulation.

It was only printed in small batches. Fortunately, Zhang Ximeng had a few copies in hand.

Zhang Shuning turned to the part where the seats are arranged, and shared his thoughts with Xia Zhifeng... The one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan have been widely circulated... We made one hundred and eight cards, with figures in the front and characters in the back, so Like those embroidered books, guaranteed to sell well! "

Xia Zhifeng was very interested in this proposal, nodded repeatedly, and then asked doubtfully, "Are you short of money?"

Zhang Shuning thought about it seriously, "I am not short of money, but I am short of money that I can control myself! You understand, money is actually a kind of freedom!"

Xia Zhifeng was stunned for a long time, no matter how smart she is, she is still just a little girl, so it is hard to understand the meaning behind her words, but she still nodded firmly, "I can help you choose the words... but my drawing is not good-looking, no way! "

Zhang Shuning thought for a while, "Then I'll go to Senior Brother Hu Yan...but you're not helping, but working with me, and you will get paid, and Senior Brother Hu Yan will too!" Zhang Shuning added.

Xia Zhifeng did not refuse, but hummed lightly.

Immediately Zhang Shuning took action, he went to the school, and on the third day, when school was over, several people gathered at the door of Zhang's house, including Hu Yan, Xu Guan, and Jing Qing, who was about the same age as Zhang Shuning.

The three of them looked at the gate of Zhang Shuning's house, it was just an ordinary little rich family, nothing special.

Zhang Shuning took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and gestured to invite in.

After the three of them came in, they thought it was clean and tidy, nothing unusual... But when they arrived at Zhang Shuning's study room, the youngest Xu Guan yelled first!

"My God, why do you have everything here? This is Zhang Xianggong's Jun Tianshu!"

He pounced on it, his heart pounding and his mouth drooling every time he read it.

"Zhang Shuning, do you still want the book boy? Take me!"

Zhang Shuning just rolled his eyelids, "You will be beheaded if you accept the book boy casually!"

"so serious?"

At this time, Hu Yan grabbed a big patent and handed it to Xu Guan, "Take a good look at it! You can use the things in it."

After Hu Yan finished speaking, he turned around and looked around, his face became more and more serious.

Staring at Zhang Shuning, he said, "You must have great trust in inviting us to your home. We promise that we won't say anything casually."

Jing Qing also nodded, "As long as you let me read the book, I will agree to anything!"

At this time, Xia Zhifeng came again holding Water Margin.

Zhang Shuning came up to meet them, and smiled at everyone: "Let me introduce you, this is my neighbor...Xia Zhifeng, we want to do something together!"

When Hu Yan saw Outlaws of the Marsh, he was dumbfounded, yes, just stunned.

"You, is this the full version of yours?"

Zhang Shuning said: "I don't know either, are there many versions on the market?"

At this time Xu Guan suddenly said: "Of course there are many. The most common ones are up to Juyi. There is also a version dedicated to Wu Song. I know that Mr. Qi has a version with the content of Zheng Fangla. It's a treasure. I'll try it." Even after No.1, he refused to lend me."

Zhang Shuning was taken aback for a moment. A child like him who was rolling around in the pile of books really couldn't appreciate the hardships of his classmates.

"In that case, mine should be complete. It contains Zheng Liao, Zheng Fangla, Tian Hu and Wang Qing."

"What?" Hu Yan exclaimed again, "Tian Hu, Wang Qing? This, what is this? I've never heard of it!"

Xu Guan was even more surprised, "Brother Zhang, can you let me have a look, you just need to lend it to me, I, I won't be the first in the exam, I will give you No.1!"

Zhang Shuning was so angry that he clenched his fists and wanted to beat this guy up. I want to be the first in the exam, so I don't need you to let it go!

"This part was mentioned by my father to Mr. Shi, and then Mr. Shi added it and revised it."

"what!"

Hu Yan was dumbfounded, "My father knows Mr. Shi? Have you talked about the Water Margin with Mr. Shi? Did you give Mr. Shi some advice?" Hu Yan didn't know what to say. He heard from the teacher in the school that Shi Naian It turned out that he was Zhang Shicheng's subordinate. After Zhang Shicheng failed, he lived in seclusion.

No one was seen except close relatives and friends.

What is the identity of Zhang Shuning's father?

Could it be that he is Zhang Shicheng's old department?

Both of them are surnamed Zhang, could it be that...

Hu Yan's mind was in a mess, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he became... Fortunately, Xia Zhifeng spoke up, "His father is a bookseller, a big bookseller. Mr. Shi is a book writer, so he must know him."

With this explanation, Hu Yan finally stopped thinking about it.

Although these children are very smart, they are too young to see any more problems for a while. They just feel that Zhang Shuning is getting more and more mysterious and unfathomable.

But compared to Zhang Shuning, his collection of books here is simply amazing.

Hu Yan is a well-known bookworm in the school. As long as you give him a book, he can forget about eating and sleeping.

But no matter how fast he reads, facing the room of books, he still sighs again and again.

"This is a Song version of the book. It's really a good thing. The printing is so beautiful." Hu Yan held one of the books and couldn't help sighing. When he turned to the end, he showed a look of horror.

"Here, is this the official seal of the Yuan Dynasty? Is this the collection of the Yuan court?"

When Hu Yan yelled, Jing Qing and Xu Guan came over and stared dumbfounded.

At this time, Zhang Shuning calmed down. He didn't want to reveal his identity yet. Although it was impossible to keep it a secret, now was not the time.

"The management of the Yuan court is chaotic, and the collection of books has long been exiled to the people. In addition to the war, there are still many nobles in the Yuan court who can't survive, so they only sell the things in the pawnshop, let alone the collection, even if it is an antique or curio, it is sold casually. My father He is a bookseller, and he has indeed collected a lot."

Zhang Shuning didn't want to keep entangled with his family's affairs, so he told them, "This kind of second-hand book market exists in Yingtian, Beiping, even Suzhou and Hangzhou. As long as you have money, you can buy a lot of books."

"Money!" Hu Yan was taken aback, and finally remembered the purpose of this time.

"We made literacy cards together, and then sold them for money. If we have money, we can buy many, many books... right?"

Zhang Shuning nodded, "That's what I planned, but I don't know if you are interested?"

Hu Yan said: "Why are you not interested! I don't want to go out here."

Xu Guan also nodded vigorously, "That's right, as long as I can read the book, I can do anything!"

Jing Qing couldn't wait, "What do you think? Hurry up, don't waste time!"

Good guy, these people couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhang Shuning made some calculations and assigned them a division of labor: first of all, he had to select five or six hundred commonly used characters, as well as idioms and allusions, and it was best to have a corresponding story, and then connect this story with Water Margin.

For example, Chao Gai is the king of Tuota, and then the four heavenly kings are derived. The four heavenly kings control the weather, and then it falls to the people that food is the sky.
