Two days later.
Zhao Xie stood in front of the door and waited.
There was a smile on his face, and his wrinkles were squeezed into flowers.
"Xiu'er, I'll take my leave now. This matter is of great importance, and I have to inform the others so as not to misunderstand you. Azheng will stay in Pei County and will be completely taken care of by Xiu'er. Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhao!" Cao Xiu waved his hand extremely seriously, "Azheng, this boy, I saw at the first glance that he has a good background, and he will be a famous hero in the future. I will take good care of him from now on. Don’t let him suffer any injustice. From now on, Azheng will be my half-brother. If I have my flesh to eat, he will definitely have his bones to chew on!"
"Uh...that's great!"
Wang Jian looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
"Why did Xiuer suddenly change her temper?"
"I gave him two pieces of gold last night."
Wang Jian suddenly realized.
No wonder Cao Xiu's attitude changed so much.
What did this kid say?
Money can make cows push ghosts!
Now, he has enlightened!
"Zhao Jun, we should go."
Qin Jia sat on the carriage and spoke softly.
"Okay." Zhao Xie turned around to look at Qin Shihuang and said with a smile: "Azheng, please remember what I told you that night. You must listen to Xiu'er carefully in the future."
"clear."
Qin Shihuang nodded.
He knew that Zhao Xie meant what he said.
However, he didn't care anymore.
He had to find an opportunity to instigate Cao Xiu and make him be used by Qin.
If it doesn't work, then kill him to avoid further trouble!
…
The carriage goes east.
Qin Shihuang turned around.
"Xiu'er, what are you going to teach me?"
"You two go to the study and wait for me first. Remember not to rummage around."
Usually the study is the most important part of Cao's house, and only Cao Xiu and his personal maid Cao'er can enter. Cao'er came in mainly to help clean and tidy up, and sometimes he would also help Cao Xiu with accounting and writing.
Qin Shihuang wanted to go in and take a look for a long time, but it was locked tightly every time, so he had to give up. But the more this happened, the more curious Qin Shihuang became. Could there be any treasures in this study?
Open the study door.
Qin Shihuang walked straight inside.
The study is extremely tidy and spotless to the eye.
The bookshelf is filled with bamboo slips. In addition to Qin Code, there are also various books, such as "Poetry", "Jing", "Shang Shu", "Zuo Zhuan", "Han Feizi"...
"In the past, I gave many favors and had five cartloads of books. This son has more than five cartloads of books?"
Qin Shihuang couldn't help but praise him.
He has naturally read all these books and can memorize many of them. His favorite works are Han Fei's, which can be called the culmination of legalism. It's a pity that Han Fei was obsessed with Han in the past and finally died in Yunyang.
Wang Jian was much more straightforward.
Just start flipping.
As for Cao Xiu's warning, he didn't take it seriously at all.
In addition to bamboo slips, there are many strange things in the study. For example, there is a doll made of clay that will not fall over no matter what you do.
"Hey, how could he have this thing?"
Wang Jian picked up a transparent crystal bottle and came over. The bottle is about six inches high, with an open sloping wall, a round mouth and a round bottom. It is completely transparent with amber color and some flocculent crystals.
Qin Shihuang frowned and said, "Qi is rich in water jade. This object should be made from a whole piece of water jade. However, most of them are burial objects of wealthy nobles. What is his purpose of putting it in his study?"
"Stop, don't move!!!"
"My ancestor, put it down quickly!"
Cao Xiu stood at the door, staring in horror. This is a good thing that he spent a lot of money to collect from tomb robbers. If something went wrong, he would kill these two good guys!
Wang Jian casually threw it to Cao Xiu.
He doesn’t even want this thing as a gift.
"Xiu'er, what is this?"
Qin Shihuang pointed to the clay model on the bookshelf.
"This is a rooster, don't you recognize it?"
"It's natural to know each other."
"Then you still ask?"
"What about this?"
"Hen."
"what about this?"
Qin Shihuang held the model in his hand with a look of disbelief on his face. The shape was extremely weird, with his hair parted in the middle and overalls, and he was holding a ball in his right hand.
"Chicken, you are so beautiful."
"???"
"What about this?"
"Oh, this is a fighter jet."
"fighter?!"
"That's not the point."
Cao Xiu quickly put away all the figures. As a fat otaku who fears society, it is normal for him to have some personal hobbies. Figures have been around since ancient times. For example, the First Emperor was a figure enthusiast. Take a look at the terracotta warriors and horses in the Imperial Tomb of Renli Mountain. They are all made by real people!
"I was indeed gambling before. I could see that you two have a good background, but I didn't expect that your background would be so big."
"what is this?"
"You don't have to be humble."
Who is humble? !
Qin Shihuang stared.
He is the lord of the world, the First Emperor of Qin!
The son of Dai Wang Jia is just a piece of shit?
Of course, he won't say it anymore now. He still had to find an opportunity to instigate a rebellion against Cao Xiu, and then follow the clues to catch all the rebels and eradicate them!
"Starting today, I'm going to teach you something new."
"New thing?"
"Very exciting!"
"Forehead?"
Cao Xiu walked straight to the bookshelf inside.
"Don't worry, I'll look through it first and then talk."
"OK."
Qin Shihuang also became interested.
What exactly does Cao Xiu want to bring out?
"It should be this volume, open it and take a look."
Soon, Cao Xiu took out the bamboo slips.
"Are you sure it's this volume?"
"What's wrong?"
"On a rainy night...with a knife...without an umbrella?!"
"Ahem, wrong, wrong!"
Cao Xiu quickly took the bamboo slip away.
This stuff is not suitable for children!
It was purely used by him to hone his will.
"The calligraphy just now seems a bit strange."
"Yes, it's simplified Chinese."
"Simplified Chinese?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Cao Xiu carefully put away the bamboo slips silently.
The emperor originally ordered that Xiaozhuan be changed into the official script. So Cao Xiu took out the simplified Chinese characters and asked Xiao He to give some advice. After Xiao He looked at him twice, he asked him if he wanted to die?
what happened again? !
First of all, the simplified Chinese characters he took out were very different from the current Xiaozhuan characters. In addition, it would take at least half a month from Xianyang to issue a decree to Peixian. During this period, many county magistrates were already learning to use Xiaozhuan, but you jumped out and offered a character that was almost completely different from Xiaozhuan.
Not to mention whether it will be adopted, if it is really adopted by the First Emperor, it is estimated that all the officials in the world will hate him to death.
Why, are you playing monkey? !
After thinking about it carefully, Cao Xiu felt that it made sense.
He remembered that when simplified Chinese characters were first promoted, two simplified Chinese characters were actually promoted, but they were rejected because they were too different from the Chinese characters. And what he did was actually not much different from this.
"That should be this volume."
"Can't be wrong?"
"Don't worry, it's fine!"
Cao Xiu confidently handed the bamboo slips to them both.
Qin Shihuang frowned and opened it with hesitation.
"Mortal...Cultivation of Immortality?!"
