Text 41: Copybook Incident

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wen Wan looked at the darkness outside. Not only the moonlight, but even the stars were invisible.  Walking towards the garden, thinking as I walked.  If Ping Xiangxi could come back with the copybook, he would be nicer to him in the future.  If not, it is better to treat such a father at a distance.  As I walked, I came to the center of the rockery.

    The surrounding area was slowly getting foggy.  Looking at the garden Wenwan, the fog is also light, sometimes like a veil, sometimes like a human face; passing through the trees, around the ridge of the roof, diffused on the rockeries, and hidden in the grass.  Wen Wan looked at it and sighed secretly.  I guess my hopes are as unreal as this fog.

    Two days later, Wen Wan sent someone to ask.  She now has to copy from the copybook and practice calligraphy every day.  The most important thing about practicing calligraphy is persistence.  You can't slack off even a day.

    When Ping Xiangxi saw the person sent by Wen Wan, he reminded her tactfully.  He just came over and looked at Wen Wan very guiltily and said, "When I was on my way to work, your mother gave it away. So, the copybook will never come back. Wen Wan, don't be angry. I'll find it for you again."  A good one.¡±

    Wen Wan looked at her cheap dad, filled with disappointment.  Ping Xiangxi said that he would buy a copybook for her.  Wen Wan looked at him, could she still force him to take it back now?  I could only say frustratedly, forget it.

    When Ping Xiangxi left, Wen Wan felt very depressed, why did she meet such a person.  This copybook is her favorite thing, and she is still practicing her calligraphy!  It¡¯s better not to have such a cheap daddy!  I've never seen this person before.

    The next day, early in the morning, I told a few people around me that this matter was strictly forbidden.  this era.  The requirements for women are very strict.  You are not allowed to speak ill of your parents.  Wen Wan was very depressed and took up a pen to vent her grievances to Uncle Zheng.  Sometimes Wen Wan really wonders if God did this to her on purpose.  Forget about the previous life, it will still be like this in this life, why don¡¯t we let people live anymore?  I can't give her a good family background with a loving father, a virtuous mother, and loving brothers and sisters.  It just so happens that he has such a cheap father who is full of brains, and a bunch of so-called relatives who are full of shit.

    After Wen Wan calmed down, she sent someone a gift to Prince Zhou's Mansion, and asked her to accuse him and give him a few explanations.  He said that he had given things away and asked King Zhou to forgive him.  When King Zhou found out, he felt very uncomfortable.  Although these two copybooks are not as good as his favorite Night Pearl.  But it can be regarded as his treasure.  The original reason why I gave these two copybooks was because I didn¡¯t want to be looked down upon by King Zheng.  Now I see Wen Wan giving the heavy gift from herself to others so easily.  I felt a little angry.  But since the gift has been given out, it is other people's business to deal with it, so I just left it alone.

    And at the same time.  In the Cao family of the Ministry of Household Affairs.  Mrs. Cao rejected Master Cao's proposal.  He said reluctantly, "Master, I really want to ask for grace from my empress. Let my Song'er match Wen Wan! Although Wen Wan is a princess, she is mute! And I heard. She relies on  As a princess, she is arrogant and domineering at home. She is disrespectful to her superiors and unfilial to her subordinates. She bullies her stepmother and treats her brothers and sisters poorly. How can such a person be worthy of my aunt?  I lied, but I misjudged someone once or twice!¡±

    "What nonsense are you talking about? I asked my aunt to tell me myself. You are so old as an aunt. You are still willing to work hard and suffer such a thankless thing." Mr. Cao said angrily.

    ¡°My father has been gone since I was a child, and I have no money to study, so this aunt has always provided money and effort.  I only have myself today.  Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to live the same life as other brothers now.  What would that look like.

    "Master, it's you who likes it, not your aunt? But, what's so good about that gentleness? Can it be compared to the daughter of Prince Chun's family? Can it be compared to the daughter of the princess's family? Her education and bearing  , I really like it, but you pushed me away. Master, I really don¡¯t understand what you are thinking." Yuanshi said hurriedly.

    "What do you know? Don't just look at people and things in front of you, your eyes are so superficial. And where did you hear those messy words from? How can someone who even the prime minister and the bachelor admire, could be arrogant, domineering and of bad character?  "Child, don't listen to those rumors and watch San'er carefully," Mr. Cao said unhappily.

    "Even if she is as aunt said, gentle, submissive, well-behaved and cute. However, such girls can be found everywhere in the capital, and she is the only one. Master, why is this?" Yuanshi has one in a thousand.  Absolutely unwilling.

    "But you go all over the capital to find a girl that the emperor likes, that King Zheng favors, that King Zhou cares about, and that the Prime Minister admires. Let me see the girl." Mr. Cao was a little impatient.

    "That's a coincidence. Everyone pities her. Master, you must not agree. Song'er, how can you marry such a wife." Yuanshi shook her head.

    "Of course these are not the most important, these are not what I value.  "When Mr. Cao saw his wife persisting, he had no choice but to tell her his plan.

    "It's not these, what is that?" Yuanshi was a little surprised after hearing this.

    "At that birthday banquet, the princess made a couplet to the emperor to congratulate the emperor on his sixtieth birthday. The couplet was 'Praise to the emperor for his good fortune, and the banquet for the birthday is for heaven.' The emperor asked her where it came from  The princess said she didn¡¯t know. There were so many learned people in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy, but they couldn¡¯t find such a couplet. Do you know what this means?¡± Mr. Cao looked at his wife.  Said.

    Yuanshi shook his head.

    "This means that this couplet was written by the princess herself. But she did not admit it. In other words, the princess is talented, and a great talent. But she can keep her sharpness hidden. At such a young age, she can  This way of knowing how to advance and retreat is definitely not an accident. Song'er's fame at such a young age is a curse for him, not a blessing. I want to arrange this marriage for him because I want him to learn from the princess.  "If you are talented, you should be restrained." Mr. Cao shook his head.

    Yuanshi was a little hesitant. She heard her husband say more than once that the third son's reputation as a young man was a disaster rather than a blessing for him, so he was even more harsh on the third son.  Now, when this topic comes up again, I don't know how to make a decision.

    She only got Cao Song when she was thirty-two years old. At that time, the master was already thirty-six, so after all, he was old.  Both of them loved him very much.  We can't let him feel wronged.

    "My aunt wrote back to me and told me that Princess Wenwan, who is said to be stupid, actually has beauty inside. If Song'er hires her as his wife, she can definitely help Song'er and let Song'er find a bright future." Seeing his wife's hesitation, Mr. Cao added  He was given a dose of medicine.

    "But, she is mute. What if all the grandchildren she gives birth to are mute in the future?" Although Yuanshi was shaken, she expressed her worries.

    "The princess was not born mute. My aunt has already asked people to check it out. She said that the princess made a sound when she was born. It was just that she was poisoned by heat in the womb and was not properly nursed back to health afterwards, which resulted in her being unable to speak.  It's not a natural mutagenesis. And now Dr. Wang is treating him. If he is not sure, Dr. Wang will not treat it with the princess." Mr. Cao gave her a reassuring pill.  After hearing so much, Mrs. Yuan nodded and said that she would go to Concubine De in two days to ask her to agree to the marriage.

    Poor Wenwan, she is usually practicing her calligraphy, but now she is suddenly gone.  The copybook can't be found, and it can't cause a big fuss, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed, and she will be accused of being unfilial.  I have no choice but to go out on the street and try my luck.  I entered a bookstore I had inquired about in advance, called Jingshuyuan, a very famous bookstore.

    The steward was stunned for a moment when he saw a little girl. Then he saw that Wen Wan was dressed in an extraordinary way. The maids who followed her were all dressed in fine fabrics, so she hurriedly welcomed her in.

    Wen Wan looked at it and saw that there were three floors. There were many types of books, including the Four Books and Five Classics, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, travel notes, miscellaneous treatises, agricultural affairs, and medical books.  Xia Yu asked if there was a copybook.  The shopkeeper said yes. Wen Wan looked at it and was a little disappointed.  This is completely different from what I practice, so I don't want to do it.  I would rather not practice, and definitely don¡¯t set myself in shape.

    But it¡¯s also a headache. No matter what era people are, if they get a good copybook, they will definitely hide it like a treasure just like I did before.  You can take it out anywhere.  Unless something unexpected happened, well, I wouldn't be so lucky.  I hope uncle, there are some good copybooks over there!

    However, this trip is not in vain.  I carefully selected a number of books, including the Four Books and Five Classics, folk customs, agricultural and industrial acrobatics, and medical books and travel notes. Among them, customs and folk customs and travel notes were the most popular, and I bought about fifty books.  The shopkeeper was so happy when he saw it.  After paying the bill, Wen Wan discovered that it actually cost one hundred and thirty taels of silver.  Converted to RMB, that¡¯s more than 1,000 per book. How could it be so expensive?

    The shopkeeper smiled and said, these are all originals.  This is a good book, so the price is naturally higher.  Wen Wan's mouth twitched when she heard it, but it was higher, which meant that books had always been expensive.  Wen Wan finally understood why it was said that many people could not afford to study.  How can ordinary people afford to read a book that is so expensive?

    Wen Wan reluctantly paid the money and asked Xia Yu and the others to take care of it.  The shopkeeper looked at Wen Wan and felt that she was also a book lover.  Then I laughed out loud. Such a child was just messing around. He was such a naive child. How could he know how to love books?

    When I go out, I don¡¯t want to get into the carriage.  Just watching there, Grandma Gu and the others followed her. They were still just children, not old enough, and there was no distinction between men and women.  It's also good to make her happy.  The princess was very sad because of the consort's actions before, and she was unhappy for several days.

    What surprised the maids and ladies was that Wen Wan didn¡¯t like going to Rouge Shop.??I don't go to gold and silver jewelry stores either.  She turned to the street and bought only some children's toys such as small clay figures, candy figures, candied haws, windmills, etc.  Bought a bunch of them.  (To be continued)
