Chapter 179 Lying down is actually quite comfortable
The sun is bright, the air is fresh, the evening breeze is gentle, and the river is gurgling.
In the setting sun, there were a few mats of cattails on the ground, and several people sat around the river beach.
In a special pottery barbecue grill, the charcoal fire is burning red. There are skewers of fish, meat, shrimps and crabs on the grill. Chen Xu is skillfully grilling, and there is a strong smell of barbecue floating in the air.
Water gently held a skewer of grilled shrimp and was eating in small stutters.
Her best friend Gongsun Beiyan sat next to her, and she also held a bunch of crabs in her hand.
Next to Chen Xu, the coachman with big hands and feet also grabbed a few skewers and ate the mouth full of oil. He threw a big sword on the grass, looking similar to an ordinary farmer.
"My Gongsun family was born in the Great Wei family, and died in the Great Wei ghost. The Gongsun family will never be humiliated and flattered. We will definitely seek justice for Yan Gong..."
Gongsun Beiyan was still thinking about calling the Wei Kingdom, which had already been destroyed.
Chen Xu couldn't help but twitch his face a few times.
Why didn't this idiot woman leave? It's been three days, and it's been three days. Every day, it's like a mentally retarded chattering, making Chen Xu dare not let her wander around the town, for fear that this woman would promote her to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and Rebuilding Ming... Well, she rebel against Qin and Rebuilding Wei, so she could only make some delicious food and drink every day and hide in no one to listen to her nagging.
"You said you are fair, I said I am fair, and I am fair or not. Only God knows, Gongsun Beiyan, when are you going to leave?" Chen Xu said expressionlessly.
"You have the final say in justice or not. You don't have to drive me away. I'll leave tomorrow morning!" Gongsun Beiyan glared at Chen Xu angrily.
"That's good, don't come in the future! And you..." Chen Xu turned his head to look at the middle-aged coachman, "The general trend of the world has long been irreversible. You are very skilled in martial arts, but you are willing to be a loser. Follow me in the future and guarantee that you eat and drink well every day, and that you can have enough wine!"
"Hmph!" The middle-aged coachman glanced at Chen Xu lightly, turned his body in one direction and continued to eat skewers.
"Haha, a fool is a fool. Uncle Nie is my number one swordsman in the Great Wei Dynasty. He is loyal to the Great Wei Dynasty. How can you seduce it with broken wine and food? You will die of your heart!" Gongsun Beiyan smiled and her plump breasts were trembling. Chen Xu wanted to poke the air with a bamboo stick.
"A good bird chooses trees to live in. A real man should do something and not do anything. The Great Wei in your mouth has long disappeared. What's the point of holding on to the incomplete and shortage? To restore the dynasty is just a scoundrel that shakes the big tree. I really overestimate myself!" Chen Xu continued without any expression.
"Beiyan, it's getting late. Uncle Nie will send you back to rest. I'll hurry back to Wancheng tomorrow morning!" The middle-aged coachman threw the bamboo stick in his hand to the ground, grabbed the sword and stood up.
"Roasted wood cannot be carved!" Gongsun Beiyan stood up, sorted out her dress and followed the coachman away. Soon only Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou were left on the river beach.
"Chen Lang, are you really not optimistic about the restoration of the Six Kingdoms?" Shui Qingrou looked at Chen Xu quietly.
"Haha, the restoration of the six kingdoms is just the moon and flowers in the well, which looks good. Those princes will eventually be deceived by these nobles. Gentle, listen to me, and persuade the Shui family not to get involved after returning. No matter whether Zhao Zheng dies or not, the restoration will be a dead end!"
Shui Qingrou nodded: "I will bring what Chen Lang said, but if they listen or not, I can't control it. Life and death are in harmony, and they will talk to Zicheng; hold your hand and grow old with you! Qingrou is Chen Lang's person, and death is Chen Lang's ghost, and will be with Chen Lang in this life!"
Chen Xu looked at the gentle and charming face of Shui, and sat gently with the skewers next to Shui, feeling his soft and hot elastic body, saying: "It is not easy to find a wife in a remote countryside. Don't worry, I will make you fat! Come on, open your mouth, and my husband will feed you shrimp!"
"Chen Lang, you have to be careful of Gai Nie. Sister Beiyan said it right. This person is the number one swordsman of the Wei Dynasty. His swordsmanship is superb, and his mind is firm and he cannot be tempted. If one day you destroy their plan to restore the country, he will definitely kill you and there will be no hesitation!" Shui Qingrou turned her head worriedly at Chen Xu.
"What do I do to destroy their plan? I just don't want to be involved by them. As the saying goes, there will be mistakes. People like Gongsun Beiyan are big-breasted... Well, they have great ambitions and no brains. If you want to rely on them to restore the country, you will be completely self-destructive!"
"But they won't think so!" Shui Qingrou sighed softly, "Sister Beiyan has also heard about you, so she came to see you specially, hoping to win you over to serve them. Unfortunately, the meeting was very unpleasant. Qingrou did it abruptly. I promise that I will never disclose your news to anyone again!"
"It's okay, the end of the cone appears immediately. The gold will shine sooner or later. I, Chen Xu, is like a piece of gold. Even if it is buried deep underground, it will sooner or later appear and blind everyone's eyes!" Someone said shamelessly.
"Hehe, Chen Lang's words are always full of philosophy! They are much more interesting than the words of the ancestors." Shui Qingrou covered her mouth and leaned against Chen Xu's shoulder, her clear big eyes curled up.
Sure enough, Gongsun Beiyan did not break her promise and left in a carriage the next morning.
However, before leaving, he asked Chen Xu for a jar of grape and fruit vinegar.
Although Chen Xu was extremely disliked this woman with big breasts and brainlessness, he was not stingy for Shui Qingru's face. Not only did he give him a jar of vinegar, but he also gave him two tubes of yam and poria cakes, and at the same time, he also gave him a jar of wine from the middle-aged uncle named Gai Nie.
"Thank you!" The coachman was obviously surprised, but he still answered it very readily and said two words for the first time.
"Don't thank you, I bought songs and laughter from the golden white wall. I've been drunk for a long time. One day I feel tired, I can get drunk. You will find that many times, even if you try your best, you still cannot change any results. It's actually quite comfortable to lie down! I have enough wine here and come here often when I have time!" Chen Xu said with a faint smile.
The coachman gently whipped his face, then he took the wine jar and sat on the carriage, whipped it, and drove~
The wheels twitched, and as the turbulent and the carriage gradually faded away.
"Beiyan, you underestimate this Chen Xiaolangjun!" After the car drove out of Qinghe Town, the driver who had been driving the car silently suddenly said.
"So what if you underestimate it? A real man is a virtuous man who is a hero who is a hero who is a remote mountain, but he is doing nothing. How can he achieve great things if his children are in love with each other? He said that the restoration of the Great Wei Dynasty was hopeless, which was ridiculous. He didn't know that the world was already like the boiling water, and it became a vast ocean when it was poured down. Uncle Nie, don't bewitched by his slick words!"
The middle-aged man nodded without answering. He waved a few whips and the carriage accelerated to the southeast along the road. It was flat and the prosperous Jingchu land.
Chen Xu, who watched the carriage go away, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and took Shui Qingru's hand and said, "Let's go home with me, and write something for me while recuperating!"
Dozens of square and smooth and flat wooden boards were made by Chen Xu when he asked several apprentices from the woodworking workshop to take the time to make them. The materials were made of black wood.
Black beads, also known as wood seeds, are an ancient tree species. The seeds are covered with a layer of white wax, which can be used to make candles, soaps, wax paper, etc. The seeds can also be pressed into oil, which can be used to paint furniture and make inks. They are a tree species with very high economic value. The wood is delicate and tight, and the wood grain is smooth, so they can be used to make chopping boards.
Of course, Chen Xu did these wooden boards not for cutting boards, but were intended for woodblock printing. However, woodblock printing not only requires writing, but also carving. There are a few cultural people in the town, but the characters written in Chen Xu are not enough to be remembered forever. In other words, they are not used to print books. As for the characters he wrote by himself, they are even more unsightly. Although Xiaozhuan can already write some talismans, he is actually good at simplified Chinese characters in squares, but others don’t recognize them when writing simplified Chinese characters, and they are also very sloppy.
He had seen the words "Shui Gentle" with neat and beautiful strokes. Now he can take advantage of the time of recuperation to help him get a complete set of textbooks in elementary school, including literacy, arithmetic, abacus formulas, nine-nine multiplication tables, etc. These contents have been compiled into books by the three old men in elementary school and Niu Quan and others. There were not many students at first, so it would not be a big problem to copy them one or two times, but Chen Xu wanted to verify the printing technique first, and this set of tutorials may be able to expand to a large range in the future. After it is done, I will send several sets to Jiangbeiting to open his eyes.
As for the movable type printing technology, there is no need to be done now. First, Qinghe Town is too small and the demand is insufficient. Second, movable type printing technology is only suitable for large-scale printing. If a large printing factory is to be established in the future, it can be considered. Moreover, whether it is wooden movable type, clay movable type or even copper movable type, it requires a very mature industrial foundation, and a large group of craftsmen who are proficient in carving and casting. The level of several craftsmen in Qinghe Town is too inferior.
"Qingrou, this is a textbook approved and compiled by several old masters and I in elementary school. Please write it on the wooden board for me, remember to write it in reverse!" Chen Xu handed several booklets to Shui Qingrou, and then picked up a piece of wooden board with very fine ink marks on it, which had been drawn on it and placed on the table.
"Write the opposite?" Shui Qingrou was a little dazed.
"Well, the writing will be correct when it is written in reverse. The handwriting should be as clear as possible. It is okay to be a little thicker, otherwise the handwriting will not be clear when it is engraved..."
"Chen Lang, Qingrou has understood it, it is actually the same as a seal!" Shui Qingrou Bingxue was smart and understood Chen Xu's meaning almost instantly.
"Yes, don't worry about these things. Write them slowly. After you finish writing, I will take them to the craftsman to take some blank spaces, and these words will protrude. Then brush ink, cover the hemp paper and press the handwriting and print it on the paper. It is simple and fast. You can print as much as you want. You can print as you want. You can print whenever you want. You won't break if you have it for hundreds of years!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"This method is really simple. Just carve the characters on the wooden board and can be used for a long time. It is indeed convenient and quick!" Shui Qingrou was both surprised and excited after understanding.
"This is the content in the Tiangong Book of Things, called woodblock printing. Although it has defects, it is enough at present!" Chen Xu nodded.
"Chen Lang said there is a more convenient and quick way?" Shui Qingrou looked at Chen Xu with her big eyes flashing.
"Of course there are, but the craftsmanship is more complicated. There is no need to make it out at present. It is just a waste of manpower and material resources. It is not worth the loss. By the way, after returning to Wancheng next time, I will ask the caravan of the Shui family to help me collect more classics of the sages, such as the left turn, the Book of Changes, Lianshan, Guizang, Shangshu, the Book of Songs, the Book of Mountains and Seas, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, the Emperor's Foreign Classic, the Dao Te Ching, etc., and it is best to be the oldest original version!"
"What did Chen Lang want these? Although these ancient books are not common to ordinary people, there are a large number of them in the hands of the princes and nobles and some famous alchemists!" Shui Qingrou was quite puzzled.
"Your master once said that the Great Qin is already in danger of collapse. Once the Great Qin Dynasty changes, the Six Kingdoms King Sun nobles will take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take shape. The fire of restoration of the Six Kingdoms is rising. These books have been passed down for thousands of years and may be destroyed in the troubled times. I can't bear to see the knowledge of the sages destroyed in the war. I just want to do my best to make these things pass on forever. China is not the China of the Six Kingdoms, nor the Great Qin.
China, it is the Chinese of the people and the people. Countless sages have been pursuing the great way throughout their lives. They have worked hard day and night to educate the world with their thoughts, and to enlighten the wisdom of the people and educate the people. As future generations, we cannot let the thoughts of the sages be destroyed in history. Instead, we must let these theories and thoughts be passed down from generation to generation. Only by inheriting the knowledge of the sages can we create peace for all generations. Although I, Chen Xu, still need to do our best..."
Chen Xu's tone of speaking was very plain, but when it fell into the soft water's ears, it was like thunder rolling. This young man, the boy who made her fall in love with her, and this thin boy suddenly rose up like a towering tree, covering her completely in an instant.
It turns out that he has such ambitions. This is my husband, who is upright and wants to bring peace to all ages.
Shui Qingrou's eyes became extremely gentle, and she gently held Chen Xu's hand and said, "I will write down Chen Lang's words. In a few days, I will return to Wancheng. I will definitely collect many ancient books and works of sages, so that they will not let them pass by and drown in the war."
"Well, this matter must be done secretly and not be publicized, so as not to arouse suspicion from others!" Chen Xu reminded.
"I'm gentle and relieved. Chen Lang, go and do your business, don't be with me!"
"Okay, if you are tired of writing, you will be in bed and rest. Remember to take medicine. I will see you later when I am free!"
