Chapter 47: Brushing up "Reputation"
When the glory of the imperial examination was already vaguely visible before his eyes, fate imitated it and ruthlessly threw him into the dust.
This feeling of falling from the clouds into the mud must be unforgettable!
"Miss, the master wants you to go to his study!"
"Okay, got it! Please, Uncle Lin, please make this trip!"
Steward Lin looked at Lin Yuxi with a smile, and couldn't help but respect her a little more. In the past, when he looked at this young lady, he only thought she was simple and cute, like a flower in a greenhouse, who needed someone to take care of her.
Unexpectedly, through this incident, I discovered that the young lady was worthy of being raised by the master himself. No matter how soft and cute she is, she has sharp claws and teeth!
Wow, she is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Lin family!
……
With the sound of the door creaking open, Lin Yuxi appeared at the door.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Lin Yuxi walked lightly into the study, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in her voice.
"Well, come and sit down!" Lin Wenjian looked up, his eyes full of love and appreciation. He put down the book in his hand and looked at his daughter. He had heard about the recent events, but he didn't expect her counterattack to be so beautiful, clean and neat, without any hesitation.
It’s as good as what his father had back then!
But this time he didn't come to her for this matter!
"Come and have a look!" Lin Wenjian smiled and handed the book to his daughter. Lin Yuxi took the book and found that it was not handwritten, which made her feel moved.
She flipped through the pages quickly. The handwriting was clear and standard. The text on each page was like a group of well-trained soldiers, neat and uniform, making it easy to understand at a glance.
Every word is like a carefully carved work of art. The size, shape and spacing have been carefully designed to make reading easier and smoother.
Don’t be too friendly to people with OCD!
"Daddy, what is this?" Her eyes were as bright as stars and her face was filled with indescribable excitement, as if the whole world had become brighter at this moment.
Lin Wenjian stroked his beard, a smug smile appeared on his face, he nodded slightly and said: "When you were copying books before, didn't you say that it would be great if books could be printed out as easily as seals? This sentence has been lingering in my mind, so I gave it a try!"
His tone was understated, and he didn't say at all how many methods he had tried, or how long he had discussed with the craftsmen before finally deciding on the current solution!
Now I have this book with clear and standard handwriting that looks like a work of art!
"Dad, you're so awesome!" Lin Yuxi looked at Lin Wenjian excitedly, with admiration and joy in her eyes.
Lin Wenjian was very happy and smiled more. "Daddy is going to use this printing technology to make a new batch of books. If you have any that you like, you can tell me and I will help you make it!"
"Thank you, Dad!" Lin Yuxi looked at her smiling father, wondering if he had noticed the risks involved. After all, printing technology could be regarded as a milestone in the cultural revolution, and if one was not careful there would be a risk of capsizing.
She just wanted to bring honor to the Lin family, not to save her life and start over!
"Dad, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to open a bookstore to sell books?"
"Hahaha, my dear daughter, Daddy is not that capable of selling books that are useful to everyone in the world!"
Lin Wenjian is a teacher himself, so he certainly knows how big an impact the printing technology will have on the current situation!
Why is there such a poor academy as Langhua Academy among the three major academies?
If it weren't for the current people who turned the tide and fought for a glimmer of hope for the poor scholars, this Langhua Academy would have been blown away to some corner like a wave!
Haha, since there is a giant ahead, why should he take the risk with his whole family?
Anyway, what the scholars of today and the world need is printing technology, not him! Isn't it? It's not too much for him to just ask for a small signature right of the Lin family, right?
After all, who doesn’t want to leave their name in history and be passed down through the ages?
Even just a surname is enough to make future generations proud!
Haha, at worst he can write an autobiography or publish a book or something. Even if he can't show off now, it won't prevent future generations from knowing about it!
At worst, he would become famous a few hundred years later, he said:
He can do it!
Thinking of the several packages and letters that had already been sent out, Lin Wen Zhang stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously.
Although Lin Yuxi was curious about her father's magical operation, she knew that her father had an idea and was happy to watch the show. Tsk, I can lie down again for the next period of time. I don't know how my husband is doing? When can we reunite?
Langhua Academy
Dean Garden
"Dean, Uncle Fu just had someone send a package in, and he said it was specifically for you!"
"Oh, Ah Fu is guarding the gate again?" Song Liansheng raised his head slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes. He gently put down the book in his hand. It was a yellowed ancient book with a faint scent of ink between the pages. He was dressed in a green shirt and had a long beard, which made him look elegant and solemn.
He walked to the table and slowly opened the package, finding several books and a letter. The neatly written and well-organized books seemed to have magic, and Song Liansheng picked up one and found it was the Three Character Classic.
“When people are born, their nature is good!
Similar in nature, but different in habits!
If you don't teach, your nature will change!
The way of teaching is to be specialized!
............"
Song Liansheng read aloud unconsciously, with a natural joy in his eyes. He didn't come back to his senses until he finished reading the book!
Is this smooth and fluent feeling?
Song Liansheng realized something was wrong and quickly opened the book again, "This... this... this... who is so amazing, writing so beautifully!"
The layout and spacing are exactly right! Amazing!
He quickly flipped through the books next to it and found that they were all written by the same person!
How much did he copy to reach this level? It is true that there is always a teacher among three people!
After reading these books, Song Liansheng already had an idea in his mind. It must be that the guy wanted to work at Langhua Academy, and these books were his token of allegiance!
He opened the letter with joy. No matter how the letter was worded, he had already agreed in his heart that the calligraphy teacher of Langhua Academy would soon have a new companion.
However, when he opened the letter, he found that this was actually... actually...
"Come on, prepare the horses! I want to go into the palace!"
Similar scenes are happening in the residence of the king's uncle, the residence of a world-famous scholar, the residence of the just and honest Lord Bao, and so on.
Several horses or carriages all headed towards the palace at the same time.
Of course, there were also those who were hesitant, suppressed their thoughts, and conducted private investigations, totally unaware that this was an activity in which many people were working together, competing for the belief that the world should be shared by all.
So when there were several packages, letters, and even a list of recipients on the emperor's desk, the consequences for those whose packages had not been delivered were predictable!
