Nine Hundred and Eighth: Who Is Not a Little Princess (3)
When it comes to scumbags, one thinks of Chen Shimei, who abandons his wife and children in order to cling to the rich and powerful. He is a representative figure of scumbags in ancient and modern times.
How many people know that not only did Chen Shimei not abandon his wife and children, but he is also a good official with integrity and uprightness?
This is the power of literati. A pen can poke people on the pillar of historical shame, and they will be cast aside for generations.
As for the truth?
Ha ha, never heard a word - open your mouth to spread rumors, run away when you refute them?
Common people like gossip and gossip, and they prefer stories with ups and downs and turning points. As for the truth, few people care about it.
"Then Liu Xi... is really a shrew. She wants to tear her face apart, and wants to argue with us?"
"Woman, who doesn't hold grudges?"
Some people snorted coldly, but a little guilt flashed in their eyes.
However, this tinge of guilt was quickly annihilated.
The Golden Scale Pavilion is open to the public for free, and they have obtained the qualifications to join the pavilion. Of course, they are entitled to enjoy all the benefits inside.
They didn't owe Maruzhou anything, whether it was borrowing books, copying books or other benefits, they were all voluntarily offered by Maruzhou.
Since it was voluntary, they were not considered to have received Marushu's favor.
In this way, how can it be regarded as "repaying grievances with virtue"?
Could it be that Maruzhou still wants to play liúmáng, but can't repay his kindness?
They despise Jiang Pengji's gender, but they are not too stupid, after all Jiang Pengji has power, they don't.
Seeing the title on the notice board, they panicked for a while, and then comforted themselves.
Two days later, nothing happened.
"Sure enough—it's just a bluff!"
They were quiet for two days, but now they jumped out again, not only slandering Jiang Pengji, but even picking on Jinlin Pavilion.
No matter how popular they are, at least their reputation is much better than many unknown people.
Black and red are also red!
only--
There was something wrong with the atmosphere.
Soon, they stopped laughing.
The scribes who used to talk to them are all gone, and every time they talk to them, they will always be rejected with various reasons.
Seeing their faces, many familiar faces covered their noses with their sleeves and walked away quickly.
Occasionally, I could hear others whispering, and glanced at them from time to time, with a bit of contempt in their eyes.
"Brothers—"
In the courtyard of the Poetry Club, I saw a few friends sitting on the ground in the distance, and everyone had pleasant smiles on their faces, as if they were talking about something.
One person leaned forward, and before he could bow to him, those people scattered like birds and beasts.
"This this……"
The man froze in place like a log, his face turned red and green, embarrassing and angry.
After a lot of difficulty, he blocked a young and thin scribe, insisting on asking what was good or bad.
He is also a fighter who dares to fight against the powerful, why do others treat him like this?
The humble scholar said, "You still don't know what happened?"
He was simmering with fire in his heart, and said in a bad mood, "I have devoted myself to studying classics in the past few days, how can I have time to care about the outside world?"
It's just that there are too many good books in Jinlin Pavilion, and he always feels that he doesn't have enough time to study.
When the humble scholar heard this, the contempt in his eyes deepened.
Before he got angry, the humble scholar said, "If you don't know, you can go to Jinlin Market and stay for a while to find out."
After all, the humble scholar was afraid that others would see him mingling with him, so he left in a hurry.
The Golden Scale Market is a commercial market not far from the Golden Scale Pavilion, and Jiang Pengji specially sent people to build it.
The Golden Scale Pavilion brought a large number of people, which was an excellent business opportunity.
The flow of people is huge, the business is prosperous, and many people have embarked on the road of making a fortune.
There are many shops in Jinlin Market.
This is an era of lack of entertainment, only Maruzhou has some tricks, many scholars like to listen to Mr. Shu's storytelling here.
Under the leadership of Wei Ci, the storytelling industry in Maruzhou is under the unified jurisdiction of the government, and the rules in the industry are strict.
He even found a few talented novelists to collect gossip about current events,
Let them compile it into a novel, and tell it to the people through the mouth of the storyteller. He also made a rule - there must be absolutely no remarks that are unfavorable to Jiang Pengji, not even a single word!
Of course, it should not be exaggerated too much, try to let the people know a real lord.
Wei Ci used entertainment to control public opinion, and now it has achieved initial results, and the people love their Maruzhou Shepherd very much.
There are even ladies who have not left the cabinet crying and wanting to marry her, even if she is a woman!
This stalk was also changed into a script by a novelist, and it became the hottest novel in Marushu.
Probably because the novelist was so talented in writing, many people were moved to tears.
You said, why can't lovers get married in the end?
So what if they are both women, infatuated people should be treated with tenderness!
Words like these left others stunned.
However, today the stunned protagonist has changed.
Hearing what the humble scholar said, the man hurried to Jinlin Market, and when he passed a certain tea shop, he suddenly heard his name.
He looked for his reputation, and saw many people inside and outside the teahouse, and the storyteller in a Confucian shirt was telling stories with emotion.
He stood still and listened for a while, his expression getting darker and darker.
After a long time, he patted the ruler, and the storyteller said, "... If you want to know more details, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."
After finishing speaking, he sat back to his original position, took a sip of tea to moisten his lips, and the people nearby wailed.
"You old man, you are too unjust, why are you stuck here on purpose, so that people can't get up and down?"
"That's right - finish it in one breath, if you don't finish it, you always feel like a cat is scratching your heart."
"Oh, I can't sleep today!"
"Storytelling can't be so out of context, it's clearly intended to lure people's appetites."
One day with a knife in hand, I will kill all the dogs in the world!
The storyteller raised his eyelids, and said, "Why is the villain unwilling to tell? It's clear that the manuscript for the next chapter has not been received yet."
The people fell silent, but after a while, they were filled with righteous indignation again.
"That Zhao Xi is really shameless. He serves the bowl to eat, but puts down the bowl and scolds his mother!"
"No lady in the building would be so shameless!"
"Hey! I don't like it when you say that. What's wrong with the lady in the building? Give money with one hand, take off her pants with the other, and deal seriously. It doesn't look like those few people, one is shameless than the other. It's like the book said, More than ten years of sage books, I learned the stomach of a dog!"
Zhao Di who was outside the tea shop felt a tightness in his chest when he heard this, and almost vomited blood.
He quickly grabbed a person to inquire about the content of the storybook, and the commoner was also enthusiastic, and came as soon as he opened his mouth.
A young man named Zhao Xi heard that there was a free academy in another country, so he went to study with five like-minded friends.
Unexpectedly, when they ran into bandits, the six of them were separated. Zhao Dian was also sexual, and he was rescued by a simple tree demon in the mountains.
Zhao Xi was amazed by the beauty of the dryad, and tricked the dryad into liking it with sweet words, and coaxed the simple dryad to follow him.
Little did he know that Zhao Xi already had a wife in his hometown.
A few days later, Zhao Xi continued on the road with the money donated by the tree demon.
When he arrived at the academy, Zhao Xi spent a lot of money, pretending to be a noble son of a certain local nobleman, and got the favor of a great scholar named Liu.
That great Confucian thinks that Zhao Xi's character is not very firm, and he doesn't plan to reuse it after trying it out.
Coincidentally, Zhao Xi heard that the great Confucian family had countless books, so he asked the great Confucian to borrow books.
The Great Confucianism borrowed it, and Zhao Xi benefited a lot from the book. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he accidentally got the help of a nobleman, and he was promoted all the way.
After becoming famous, the tree demon asked Zhao Xi to pay off the debt, but Zhao Xi said that the tree demon was deceiving people and burned him to death.
When the great Confucian heard about this, he complained about the tree demon.
Everyone knows that Daru lent books to Zhao Min, but Zhao Min said that his success depends entirely on his talent, and it has nothing to do with Daru borrowing books.
Not only that, he used his power to create public opinion, accused the great Confucian of corrupt morality, and even colluded with the tree demon.
