Chapter 104 Unforgettable Past Events

Seeing Xu Ping looking at him, Duan Yunjie smiled slightly at him and nodded.

Sansi produces paper on a large scale, and the price of paper has dropped sharply. The printing industry ushered in its own spring. In the past, due to the high price of paper, a book can be hundreds of text, and the more exquisite ones must always be improved. Some famous masters have carefully crafted and printed, such as "Selected Notes on Du Fu's Poems", which are even sold at a high price of dozens of strings. Now the price of paper has dropped to less than one-tenth of the original, and is particularly suitable for ink printing. A booklet with ten or eight essays is already very common.

Duan Yunjie's book printing workshop was the first private commercial book printing agency to take advantage of this trend, and the profits were quite considerable. Since it was no longer just for book sellers, more customers turned to ordinary citizens and had a huge demand for travel novels. However, these contents were extremely lacking in this era, Duan Yunjie made extensive appointments to students of the Imperial College in the capital, and failed juren, and the officials of the museum and cabinet who had a lot of free time were even more popular.

Ouyang Xiu, Hu Su and others once wrote travel notes and sold them to Duan Yunjie, which made a lot of money. I heard that Xu Ping started to meet guests today, so Duan Yunjie followed them to see Xu Ping's situation.

After eating the watermelon, someone brought the water out, everyone cleaned their hands and sat down again.

Yan Su asked Xu Ping: "Yunxing, how are you in a state of illness? This time I'm very ill!"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that my mouth is swollen and pus, I can't eat anything, and I'm in a bad mood."

After saying that, he saw Wang Zhu sitting on the side and bowed to him: "This time, thanks to Uncle Yuan, I will help him in a hurry."

Wang Zhu replied, "You are polite. Since you meet on the road, how can you turn a blind eye?"

Among the current officials in the museum, Wang Zhu and Gao Ruonai are the most skilled in medicine. They are not officials, and they can support their families when they go out to open a clinic. Especially Wang Zhu, Zhang Zhongjing's "Golden Chamber Yaolue" was discovered in the Hanlin Academy Library in history, allowing Zhang Zhongjing's medical works to be fully circulated.

However, Gao Ruonai is a square person and almost dull person, and he doesn't interact with others much. At that time, it was Wang Zhu who took action.

There were too many people coming, and Xu Ping's family was not prepared. After chatting for a while, everyone saw that Xu Ping was still not in good spirits, so they stood up to say goodbye.

Xu Ping sent the person out and whispered: "I am free to recuperate at home, and I am very frustrated. If you have free time in the future, you can come and sit for a while. Although there is no entertainment at home, the place will be large and will not be cramped!"

A group of officials from the museum responded in a turbulent manner and walked towards the door.

Duan Yunjie walked behind, Xu Ping followed and whispered to her: "I didn't expect you to come to see me today."

Duan Yunjie smiled and whispered: "You are suddenly ill this time, and it's so terrible that I can't rest assured. It just so happened that there were officials in the museum selling texts and settled the pens, so I asked them to take them to take a look. Fortunately, they all knew that we were familiar with each other in Yongzhou and did not refuse."

"I really didn't expect it."

Xu Ping said while sending Duan Yunjie out. After all, there is a difference between men and women. There is no taboo in the capital like when he was in Yongzhou. Xu Ping could not leave Duan Yunjie alone and talk, but he was just able to meet.

Ouyang Xiu and the others who brought Duan Yunjie saw some signs, thinking that Duan Yunjie and Xu Ping were afraid that they would have some inexplicable relationships. This is an elegant story of a literati. Duan Yunjie is now their financial backer, and a well-educated and knowledgeable person, and they all have the intention of watching the fun.

However, Duan Yunjie is still in the filial piety period, and Xu Ping deliberately keeps a distance from her, which makes these people feel a little disappointed.

Watching Duan Yunjie and everyone leave, his figure gradually disappears. Xu Ping stood at the door, thinking about the past in Yongzhou, and the two of them are together, and a smile appears on the corner of their mouths.

It is common for literati to play with restaurants and singing girls, but it is still despicable for real good women to tease them. Even if a high-ranking official takes concubines, he is not the time to enjoy success or fame when he is young, and few people do this. Not taking concubines under 40 is also a hidden rule for literati to take concubines under 40 years old.

Like Liu Zhi, the great man from Liu Zhi, who was unruly, the clan of Qian Weiyan, who once had the family to Beijing for a visit, he visited someone's house and saw a good-looking woman in the painting. When he asked about it, he was the daughter of the family. When his wife passed away, he forced someone to marry her daughter to him. This was a forced marriage to the daughter of the Qian family, and the one who robbed the land of peace, which caused a stir. As a result, the matter was to Emperor Zhenzong. Zhenzong actually told the Qian family that marrying his daughter to Liu Kai was a huge advantage, and giving some dowry was a beautiful story. After all, Liu Kai still married Xu Xian and became the wife. He forced him to marry him as a forced marriage, and the emperor supported him.

Duan Yunjie was also a hero, and she was in the filial piety period. Xu Ping had a wife and daughter in her family. The impact was very bad when she got close. The censors were really good at using this matter to talk about it. If the memorial was on, Xu Ping was affected by Xu Ping, and Duan Yunjie's reputation would be bad. When the filial piety period passed, if Duan Yunjie was interested, Xu Ping would not mind taking a concubine back. This era is normal. As for whether Lin Su Niang minds or not, Xu Ping felt that his wife would not strongly oppose such things. Lin Su Niang has always acted very virtuous.

But now, when Duan Yunjie is still filial, Xu Ping must deliberately distance himself. This is the basic principle of being a human being. In this era, you must abide by the morality of this era, otherwise you will harm others and yourself.

Holding the big tree in front of the door and sighed. Xu Ping felt a little disappointed and turned around and entered the house.

Sun Qilang and Liu Xiaoyi were leading people to do farm work outside the door. When they saw Xu Ping's appearance, they sighed. Xu Chang and Liu Xiaoyi had never been to Lingnan and did not know the story that happened there. Sun Qilang suddenly thought about Gao Daquan.

Back in the small flower hall, Xu Ping sat alone at the table, thinking about his own thoughts. Duan Yunjie and Lin Su Niang are different, and he really has the same idea as being beautiful. Beautiful people are second, the key is to speak together. A man? It is always a pleasant thing to have a close friend. But Xu Ping has always restrained himself and let things develop naturally. When it comes to the day when it happens, he will not shrink back. But before this, he will not chase women like a teenager. Life is not just about men and women.

Just as Xu Ping was thinking about something, Xu Chang hurried in and said to Xu Ping: "Dalang, your subordinates from the Yantioxue Department have arrived in the mansion and are in a hurry to see you in the living room!"

Seeing that Xu Chang's appearance was different from before, Xu Ping knew that these subordinates were afraid that they were not just visiting him, so he hurriedly stood up and quickly turned to the living room in front.
