Chapter 1278 Manufacture of Ancient Books
Nan Nan was speechless, why? It's on my own head again, but who is the person looking in front of me? His mother, my lord, what can he do? Accept your fate.
"Of course I can do it, but I don't know what the previous poems are, so it's okay for Xiao Xi to help me?"
It is impossible for him to be busy all night by himself, unless he has the help of Junior Sister Xiao Xi. Fang Xiaoxi glared at Nan Nan, it's too much for this person to drag herself into the water for doing such a small thing.
Qian Jiujiu thought about it for a while, and then nodded: "This idea is not bad, so let's do it this way. The matter of ancient books is left to you to deal with, it's hard work. Then we will go back first, by the way, Xiao Xi I still have work to do in the village tomorrow, so if you want to make ancient books, go to the other courtyard."
He patted Fang Xiaoxi on the shoulder, and sent Nannan and Fang Xiaoxi back by the way. Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Xiaoxi and Nan Nan looked at each other, and Nan Nan couldn't help but say, "Why do I feel like I'm kicked out again now?"
He originally planned to spend the night at the county government office tonight, but he never thought about going back to other courtyards at all. Fang Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Nannan: "Is there any difference? Isn't this kind of thing normal, why are you still surprised, and it's getting late now, if we don't rush now If you go back to make old ancient books, tomorrow will be too late."
In other words, even today's shopping is not allowed! If you want to go back now, Nan Nan took a deep breath: "Let's go."
What a pity, maybe his lantern can even win an award! After all, he looked at many people's tickets just now, and they were all very few, a few, a few or even none, and some of them were only a few hundred, and there was no way to compare it with his two thousand and five.
The two of them followed back overnight, naturally they used horses, and traveling is the fastest way. Even so, it was midnight when we rushed back.
When passing by the house, I still didn't forget to tell my parents that I have to go to another hospital to be busy, so I won't come tonight.
Fang's father was worried that his daughter and Nan Nan were lonely and widowed. Although they said they were young, they still had to take precautions, so they pulled Fang Shaofeng up who was about to fall asleep, and went to help with him.
In this way, two people became three people, and Fang Xiaoxi and Nan Nan expressed their willingness to welcome another strong man.
Only Fang Shaofeng yawned inexplicably: "What are you going to do in the middle of the night?"
Fang Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Don't do anything, let's go, you will know when you go, it's very important."
Fang Shaofeng was a little silly and happy when he heard that it was important. It seemed that he was also very important. So the group of three quickly arrived at the other courtyard, and Nan Nan opened the door of the study.
"Making old ancient books is not an easy task. I still need to look for suitable paper. Xiao Xi, come and help me now and write out the poems."
Fang Xiaoxi blinked maliciously: "Okay, it's ok. But I don't think I need to finish writing it. After all, it's a dilapidated ancient book. We can leave out a word or two and let the dean and the others do it themselves." Guess what do you think?"
Nan Nan immediately nodded and agreed: "Of course it's possible, don't even think about it, it's because of them that we can't sleep at night and work overtime all night!"
When had he ever been so pitiful, Mr. Mu? After all, he was still cheated by his mother and junior sister, but they were his mother and junior sister, and they were his own. Could he bear to blame him? Of course, I can't bear it, so let's vent my anger, who made the dean and the others anxious!
Soon Nannan found out that there are old papers that can be made. Ancient books generally have quite a lot of pages, but it’s not important, so let’s make incomplete ancient books. A dozen or so sheets are enough.
It is still quite difficult to make old paper. In fact, there are quite a lot of methods. It can be smoked, but I don’t know if it can be deodorized after a night of smoking, so let’s use tea.
"Third brother, come and lay out the paper so that there are no wrinkles. I'll get tea to adjust the color."
After speaking, Nan Nan turned around and went to look for it, let's harm Daddy's Pu'er, I think Daddy wouldn't mind, right, thinking about it, Nan Nan quickly brought the tea.
After it was done, Fang Shaofeng and Fang Shaofeng took the brush and started brushing. Fang Xiaoxi also wrote all the poems very quickly. This girl is also very malicious. Except for the four poems that are complete, the rest are incomplete.
All of them are about Lantern Festival, and I don't know where she got so many incomplete poems. After finishing, I also came to help brush the paper. After brushing, in order to hurry up, I have to dry the paper, and then write poems on it.
After a busy night, at dawn the next day, an old ancient book was finally produced. Nan Nan took a deep breath: "This thing is really not easy, and I will never do such fake things in the future."
Fang Xiaoxi was also tired and slumped on the ground, shaking her hands: "Do you think it's easy for me to do it? I can't even lift my hands up. Sure enough, deceiving people is not a good thing."
Having said that, the two of them went to see the person who didn't make a sound, good guy, Fang Shaofeng was already lying on the ground and started to sleep, he must be extremely sleepy.
Nan Nan couldn't help being funny, it was Fang Xiaoxi who stepped forward and woke Fang Shaofeng up with a few shakes: "Third brother, it's ready, if you're sleepy, go to the guest room to rest first."
There are many rooms in the other courtyard, so Fang Shaofeng was taken down to the guest room by his servants to sleep. Fang Xiaoxi was also a little sleepy, but she couldn't bear to leave Nannan alone to clean up.
"Let me help you clean up together."
But Nannan refused: "That's no need, you can go to rest too. Let the people below do this."
Once the ancient books are finished, other matters can be handed over to the people below. In fact, the servants are already very speechless, you don't need to do these things yourself, just leave them to them.
Since she didn't need to help herself, Fang Xiaoxi nodded and went to rest. She is different from her third brother in the other courtyard. If she has her own room in the other courtyard, she can go to rest directly.
Seeing that the people had packed up, Nan Nan was about to go to sleep: "I'm going to rest, well, if the dean of the college waits for someone to come, come and call..."
Before I could say my words, the steward had already brought the principal and others in: "Young Master Mu, have you found the ancient book yet?"
The ancient books in Nan Nan's hands hadn't been hidden yet. He originally wanted to hide the ancient books and let the group of people find them by themselves. Now, it's too late.
Sure enough, the dean had already seen the ancient books in Nan Nan's hands, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Young Master Mu is really a good man, did you wake up early in the morning to help us find ancient books? It's rare to rummage through boxes and chests."
As he spoke, he unceremoniously took the ancient book in Nannan's hands into his own, and began to read it. It was only the first poem that encountered difficulties: "Why is this incomplete?"
The corner of Nannan's mouth twitched: "It's an ancient book. I don't know when it was taken back. It may be that the previous people didn't keep it properly. So it caused some losses. Dean, you are a genius, you can take it away. Complete these poems if you can."
When he heard that he was going to give the ancient books to himself, the dean was very excited: "Okay, Mr. Mu, don't worry, I will send them to you when I have completed these poems."
Nan Nan said twice: "It's up to you, as long as you're happy."
The dean immediately asked to leave, Nan Nan was eager to send the dean out of the room with a smile, and then went back to the room and fell asleep soundly. It's hard to stay up all night, especially since she's still growing!
When Nan Nan woke up, Chuan Gu was already standing beside him, and it was already afternoon. Nan Nan got up and stretched: "Chuan Gu, go prepare some food, I'm hungry. By the way, Fang Xiaoxi and the other siblings are up yet?"
Chuan Gu replied immediately: "Miss Fang and Mr. Fang got up at noon and went home. Young master, the person you want to invite has arrived, and they are waiting in the hall now."
The person to invite has arrived? Nan Nan narrowed his eyes instantly: "Go, let's go and have a look first."
In the hall of the other courtyard, there were about fifty people standing there, and all of these fifty people were strong men, who felt very safe at first glance. Nan Nan turned around and nodded after reading all the people: "It looks pretty good, how are your skills?"
Chuan Gu replied from the side: "Master, I've been tested by others, and I can't even talk about it, but I still have third-rate requirements."
This kind of retired soldier has the level of a third-rate master, which is not bad. Nan Nan nodded with satisfaction: "Well, let's take it to the mountain and arrange to build a house first. Is their family coming with them? If there are family members coming with them, stand up."
Immediately, half of the people stood up. In fact, these people were a little apprehensive. These people did not go home very well after retiring from the army. After returning home, I found that my wife and children were not doing well at home, so I brought them out this time. I don't know if they will be disgusted by the master?
Nan Nan looked at the anxious faces of these people: "Then where are your family members arranged?"
This time it was also Chuan Gu who replied: "Master, they are all arranged in the inn in the town, and we will pick up people after we settle down here first."
It turned out to be like this, Nan Nan nodded: "That's all right, Chuan Gu, you take them up the mountain to build bamboo houses. Some of them are set aside to buy daily necessities. But before going up the mountain, I have something to make clear to you If you accept it, you can stay, and if you can't accept it, you can leave now. If you still want to leave after you go up the mountain, then don't blame me for being rude."
