263. Xie Moru
Mrs. He has a very big ambition. This old lady has to go from a literate and not-reader home to the publishing and cultural circle. Because of her writing, Mrs. He has suffered from insomnia for most of her long time and recalls her various experiences in the autumn exam in her mind.
After coaxing the old lady, He Zijin went back to her house to rest. After washing, she took out the wooden box that Master Chaoyun had handed her. The wooden box was buckled with a copper buckle and it was not locked. She pulled up the copper buckle and there was a small piece of square wood inside. The small piece of wooden buckle was integrated and could not tell what it was. He Zijin shook it, and there was no movement inside. He looked at it carefully under the lamp and couldn't tell anything. He knocked his fingers, and the sound was dull, and he weighed it in his hand, but it was not like an iron tool.
What is this?
He Zijin has never seen such a strange thing in his two lives.
After a long time of research, He Zijin saw that there was a letter in the box, which was sealed with lacquer, so it was obviously not possible to be read casually. There were only three words written outside the letter: Xie Moru. This word is the handwriting of Master Chaoyun, but who is this person? He Zijin doesn't know him? Who did he send him to the imperial capital? He didn't write an address? There are hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital. Who knows whether Xie Moru is round or flat? Not to mention round or flat, even men and women don't know?
He Zijin was so worried.
This is how dealing with masters. Masters have always been in a foggy way. If you say you can't guess it, it seems that your IQ is not enough. He Zijin thought about it for a long time but didn't know who this "Xie Moru" was. He wanted to call A Nian to take a look, but A Nian has returned to his yard now, so he has to discuss it with A Nian tomorrow.
He Zijin was thinking about discussing things with A Nian the next morning, but Old Mrs. He was thinking about writing books. He woke up early in the morning and pulled He Zijin to discuss. Old Mrs. He also ordered, "Take out the pen and ink, and I said, "When I remember, Oh, there are so many things I want to say!"
"It's okay, you're talking about it one by one, don't worry." He Zijin bit the pen and listened to Mrs. He's statement.
"How can we not be in a hurry? We have to go to the imperial capital." After a few gossips, Mrs. He began to sort out his thoughts. This was a long time ago, "When I was a child, my father said that our ancestors were also families with third-rank officials. But later their descendants were not prosperous and their family business fell. Later, they got married with your grandfather. At that time, your grandfather was poor, and our family's industries were not as much as my dowry. You say, what do I want to do? Just look at him? Your grandfather is actually talented, smart, and able to study. Those words can be remembered at one glance, and he can teach me. But we didn't catch up with the good times, and the chaos was delayed, and he didn't study. When you have your father, your grandfather decided to let your father study."
"This study is a long-lasting job. You can't hurry up and start slowly. Especially for children, you must be patient. Don't compare your own children with other children every day. People have different qualifications. Like A Nian, you will win the Jieyuan at thirteen. Like your father, you are thirty-five, and you will be a Juren. It's not too late. Children are different, and the teaching methods are different." Although Mrs. He has no education, he is still very organized when talking about these things. Then, she also stretched out, "In addition to studying, you have to learn to be a human being first..."
He Zijin felt that Mrs. He could have a speech. It’s so good at it.
Since Mrs. He was extremely strong in publishing books, he pulled her girl's films from morning to night to write memoirs. That style is completely comparable to the education of a generation. Including the preparations for the scholar exam and the Juren exam, Mrs. He has extraordinary experience, and also training the psychological state of the candidates. Mrs. He said, "Don't be afraid that the children will be under pressure in the exam. What should I do if there is pressure in the future? I will be trembling when taking the Juren exam. What should I do if I take the Juren exam? I'm trembling when taking the Juren exam, so I won't pass the Jinshi exam! I'm afraid of the pressure, so I'll take a few more exams!" Then, the genius proposed the concept of "simulated exams". "Actually, I think people who are afraid of taking the exam can set up an examination room at home, or set up an examination room in the academy as the scholar exam. If I take the Juren exam, I will get more exams. Once I get familiar, the children will not be afraid."
Finally, the manuscript came out, and He's educational record was written for dozens of pages, and A Nian's experience was written for more than a dozen pages. Senior bookseller Jiang Ren said, "A Nian's is a bit short, and grandmother's is a bit long."
Mrs. He was very generous, "Isn't it enough to just give me some of mine to A Nian?"
Senior editor He Zijin said, "Well, grandma's cut some of it, A Nian's, let's see what you add."
Mrs. He said, "It's done! You can just do it anyway." She repeatedly told her girl about the movie, "Don't forget to write my name in the book!" After thinking about it, she said, "You must be happy, and adding your name will be done! But you have to add my name to the end!"
He Zijin smiled, "It's all your experience of grandmother. What's the point of adding my name? No, no, no!"
The girl is so sensible, and Old Madam He smiled, "I'm going to let you do it yourself, you don't add it, don't regret it in the future."
"No regrets." He Zijin smiled, "When my grandmother becomes famous, don't forget me."
"How can I forget this?" In order to reward the girl who published a book, afterwards, Mrs. He gave He Zijin a gold bracelet he had treasured for many years, and asked He Zijin to keep it himself. Her words were like this, "Don't look at the bracelet with plain face, it's not as rare as those with flower heads. This is true gold. Gold is valuable, only looking at the weight, not the flower heads on it."
He Zijin took the gold bracelet without hesitation and said, "Grandma, don't you have a pair? Why are you giving me one? You're so lonely~"
"What's lonely? A golden bracelet. If you think you are lonely, you will pay me back." It's so heartbreaking for Mrs. He to give it out. He already wants to come back now. He said that this is her mother's dowry at that time. Mrs. He stole it from her stepmother's dressing box before getting married and took it to her husband's house. She has been hidden for many years, but no one has seen it.
He Zijin was not willing to repay the bracelet. She had already worn it on her wrist and said to herself, "I mean you are a celebrity in Bishui County, so why are you doing so not so bright~"
"The gold is not bright yet, so what's bright?" Old Madam He just kept guarding her small treasury and was unshakable. No matter what the girl said about her film, she only had a gold bracelet, and there was no other one. Old Madam He said, "Go and go, ask Aren to print the book earlier. Alas, it's a pity that we have to go to the imperial capital, and we can't see what the book is like!"
He Zijin said, "Don't worry, it will be a big deal!"
After finishing the memoir of Mrs. He Zijin and Jiang Ren passed the manuscripts all over the manuscripts. They thought it was OK, so Jiang Ren arranged to print them, first printing 1,000 copies. In ancient times, this was not a small amount. You should know that ancient books were sold at a price. They were all luxury goods that only rich people could buy. For example, the big ones such as Master Xue, one set cost one or two taels of silver. For example, the single item like Mrs. A Nian He also cost one hundred coins. Don’t underestimate this hundred coins, how many taels of silver will be earned per year?
Jiang Ren wanted to take advantage of A Nian's east wind to push the book.
After discussing a sales plan with He Zijin, Jiang Ren sighed, "Aqi is about to give birth, and I will not be able to go to the imperial capital in a short time. I heard that the court is going to launch a delivery office, which is responsible for delivering things. Sister Zijin, if the emperor has any good books, if you get the chance, you can ask someone to send a few books back and I will publish them again, and the same will be true."
He Zijin immediately thought that he had no copyright awareness these days, and as long as it was a book, everyone would print it casually.
He Zijin agreed and laughed, "It's done, I will find some good books to come back then."
Jiang Ren said, "Isn't my uncle a famous lecture in the imperial capital? Isn't it a good thing to ask if I'm going to publish a book? I'll save a book on my uncle's lecture, and it will definitely be a big seller."
He Zijin laughed, "What Brother Aren said is that I will do this first as soon as I arrive in the imperial capital."
Jiang Ren smiled, "I'm just waiting for Sister Zijin's letter."
After getting the book published, the family was almost done. A Lie said goodbye to his friends. He had also come to He's family to read it, and he was about to set off. He Zijin finally had time to discuss with A Nian about Taoist Chaoyun giving her box. He Zijin took out the letter and showed it to A Nian, pointing at Xin, saying, "It's just this one, how can you find someone?" If it really doesn't work, he went to the mountain to ask Taoist Chaoyun again.
A Nian is worthy of Jie Yuan's head, saying, "Master Chaoyun only writes one person's name, or Master Chaoyun doesn't know where this person lives, or this is a celebrity, as long as you go to the imperial capital, you will know where this person lives."
He Zijin immediately understood and smiled, "It's Jie Yuanlang, it's just Lingguang, I didn't expect it!" He said, "A Nian, who is this person?"
"Master Chaoyun has never mentioned that there are people close to him over the years. If you can write a letter to this person, you must have a different relationship with Master Chaoyun."
He Zijin whispered, "Ask the old ghost to see if he knows it."
A Nian asked, when the old ghost heard the name, he felt a little familiar. Who it was, and he couldn't remember it for a moment. The old ghost said, "Xie Moru, Xie Moru, it seems that he had heard it somewhere."
A Nian Black Line said directly to Zijin's sister, "He is so old that I can't remember it."
What is a age? Lao Gui immediately said, "I have heard of this name, but I just couldn't imagine it for a moment. Xie, the most prominent Xie family in the imperial capital was the Xie Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice. His family is very prominent, but I remember that Xie Shangshu's name is Tao, and his eldest son Xie Song is the third-rank minister. The second son Xie Bai and Princess Shang are a senior member outside. Xie Shangshu's eldest son is the imperial concubine in the palace and has a third prince under his knees. The grandchildren of the Xie family are in the three characters Zhi, Lan and Yu, but I don't remember that his descendants have the words Mo."
A Nian told Zijin Rushi, and He Zijin said, "Can they be from the Xie family's side-class clan?" Generally, the names of direct descendants are particular, such as the Xie family, Xie Song and Xie Bai, all come from the word "Mu". Zhilan Yu is obviously the meaning of Zhilan Yushu. But the side-class clan is usually casual.
A Nian thought about it, "It is also possible. Since it was the Taoist priest's explanation, it would never be an unknown person."
He Zijin thought about the former grandeur of Taoist Chaoyun, thinking that Taoist Chaoyun was definitely not from a small family. The old ghost said that Xie's family was so prominent, it might be the relative of Taoist priest.
