At night, Zhang San was lying on the bed thinking about what to call the bookstore. Suddenly he remembered the article "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore" that he had learned when he was in school.
Suddenly my eyes lit up, and I borrowed this prose from Mr. Lu Xun. Sanwei Bookstore was also the place where Lu Xun originally studied, in today's Shaoxing.
So Zhang San planned to name it "Sanwei Bookstore". It just so happened that his name was Zhang San. From now on, the bookstore would be firmly named after him. Thinking of this, Zhang San burst out laughing in bed.
The next day, Zhang San asked Zhang Fugui to drive to Fang Xuanling again.
The main reason I came here this time was to ask Fang Xuanling to write a couplet with Li Shimin.
In this way, the reputation of Sanwei Bookstore will be even greater. The emperor's golden pen and imperial inscriptions will also be a safety guarantee for Sanwei Bookstore. Let's see who dares to make it uncomfortable in the future.
As for the content of the couplets, Zhang San had already thought it out for Li Shimin, so he used the couplets on the pillars of the Sanwei Bookstore: "Best happiness is silent but only filial piety," Taigang is full of flavor and is a book of poetry.
I just don't know if Li Shimin can write it for him, but Zhang San knows that Li Shimin's handwriting is so elegant and elegant.
Looking at the words he wrote, Zhang San felt really sorry for this couplet.
Zhang San has also thought about it. If Li Shimin doesn't write for him, he can let Fang Xuanling do it himself, or he can find a calligrapher to write for him. He doesn't know anyone in Chang'an. Cheng Yaojin is one, but it's a pity that he is a military general.
, I guess my writing is not as good as my own.
Kong Yingda, even though we talked once, but there is no friendship, it probably won’t work.
After much deliberation, I could only trouble Fang Xuanling. It would be great if I could really ask Li Shimin to write. After all, the two of them also own shares in this bookshop.
When the carriage came to the door of the house, Zhang San had already prepared a greeting card. When the servant who looked after the door saw that it was Zhang San, he said: "My father-in-law said that when a man from Zhang County comes to the house, there is no need to send a message directly.
Just go in and it will be like returning to your own home.”
After hearing this, Zhang San quickly thanked him and walked in cheerfully. This was not the first time for Zhang Fugui, so he went to rest with the servants.
Unfortunately this time, Fang Yiai's boy was not there, so the servant led the way and took Zhang San to the living room to sit down, and then ran to the study to tell Fang Xuanling that Zhang San was here.
As soon as Zhang San took a sip of water, he saw Fang Xuanling walking in and said, "The mistress is here. My uncle is very happy."
Zhang San quickly stood up and saluted and replied: "My nephew has met my uncle and came uninvited. He still wants to see Haihan."
Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "Don't be polite when you come to uncle. Come whenever you want. Uncle welcomes you at any time!"
Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Zhang San's heart was filled with warmth.
Fang Xuanling came to the main seat and sat down. He first asked Zhang San about the summer grain harvest situation, and then Zhang San explained the reason for his visit: "My nephew came here this time mainly because I gave our bookshop a name.'
Sanweishufang would like to have my uncle give me some advice."
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and repeated the name of the bookstore and asked: "Three flavors, does it have any special purpose?"
Zhang Sanhui said: "The taste of poetry and calligraphy is Taiqian, Shi is called Zhe Zu, and Zi is called Xiong. These are the three flavors of Shu."
Zhang San quoted a sentence from "Handan Bibliography" by Li Shu of the Song Dynasty as an explanation.
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up and she said: "What you said is very wonderful. You actually used three flavors to compare the taste of reading three types of books. What a wise nephew and great talent!" Fang Xuanling praised.
Hearing Fang Xuanling's praise, Zhang San said modestly: "Uncle, you are so complimentary. I wrote a couplet for our bookstore, but the word "nephew" is a bit... haha, uncle, please read it first."
Zhang San said sheepishly, and then handed over the couplet he had prepared in advance.
Fang Xuanling had seen Zhang San's calligraphy, so she laughed and said, "The calligraphy of "Xian Nephew" is indeed unique."
After hearing Fang Xuanling's teasing, Zhang San made up his mind to practice calligraphy in the future. Of course, he just thought about it.
"Bliss is silent but filial piety is the only thing, and the taste of soup is a book of poetry." After reading it, Fang Xuanling praised Zhang San again: "The couplet of the wise nephew has far-reaching ideas and neat contrasts. It is not bad."
Zhang San saw that Fang Xuanling was also very optimistic about this couplet, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "My uncle also saw my handwriting and was really disdainful of it, so I would like to trouble my uncle to ask the emperor to write a calligraphy for our bookstore."
, after all, this bookstore also belongs to the emperor."
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but smile when she heard what Zhang San said. Fang Xuanling knew Zhang San's purpose in her heart, but she was afraid that she would disappoint Zhang San. Although the emperor supported Zhang San in developing this bookshop, he couldn't do it openly.
This word in the title also means that there is the emperor's figure behind this bookstore. That is not what Li Shimin wants to see. He also wants to use this to catch those disobedient aristocratic families off guard.
So Fang Xuanling explained this to Zhang San tactfully. Although Zhang San was mentally prepared when he came, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard it.
So Zhang San asked Fang Xuanling to write an inscription for him, but Fang Xuanling politely refused.
"My dear nephew, this is not my uncle's refusal. It's just that I have a special status. I hope you understand. However, I can find someone to help you inscribe this couplet. It must be a master of calligraphy and will not let this couplet be shamed." Listen.
Fang Xuanling said this, and Zhang San had no choice but to nod in agreement.
As expected, these people in the officialdom are very sophisticated and do not want to take any risks.
Zhang San and Fang Xuanling talked for a while again, then said goodbye and left. Originally, Fang Xuanling wanted to keep Zhang San at home for dinner, but Fang Yiai was not there, and Zhang San didn't want to stay. Talking to Fang Xuanling was still a bit stressful.
.
So Zhang San tactfully excused himself by saying that he had some things to do, and left.
Before leaving, Zhang San heard that Fang Yiai and the others were taking a break tomorrow, so he told Fang Xuanling that he would come back tomorrow to look for Fang Yiai and discuss the opening of the bookshop together.
Fang Xuanling knew that Fang Yiai, Cheng Chumo and others had been roped in by Zhang San to run the bookshop together. It was inconvenient for him and the emperor to come forward, but with them here, there wouldn't be too many problems in the bookshop.
Zhang San and Fugui left the house and planned to go to Chang'an to see if there was anything strange to buy. They had been busy for a long time recently and bought some gifts for their little sister and Xiaoyu to take back.
"Have you understood everything I asked you to inquire about?" On the other side, Zheng Shide asked a man in black with a gloomy face.
"Back to the young master, I have already found out everything. Apart from the servants in Zhang San's family, there are only his sister and a girl named Xiaoyu who was bought from a brothel."
"In the morning, the person who monitored Zhang San reported that Zhang San left home early in the morning and doesn't know where he went." The man in black lowered his head and replied.
"Humph, Mr. Tianshe, I want you to know what will happen if you offend me." Zheng Shide said through gritted teeth.
"Tell me to go down and kidnap the farm girl back to me. I will make that poor man regret his life." Zheng Shide ordered.
Zheng Shide squinted his eyes and said: "After you know that your only biological sister has been insulted, I don't think you have the dignity to stay in Chang'an. A bastard with mud-legged background still wants to fight with me. Hmph!"
Zhang San didn't know that a conspiracy against him was approaching. At this time, Zhang San was choosing jewelry for his younger sister and Xiaoyu in a jewelry store.
