Wei Chao was speechless by Yang Zirong's words. Other scholars or people in the bookstore clapped their hands and laughed, and sarcasm spread.
"You, just wait and see!"
Wei Chao said angrily and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly Yang Zirong stepped forward, blocking Wei Chao's path and said: "If you leave like this, the owner of the bookstore will accuse you of obstructing business and destroying goods. According to the new business rules, Ce, you have to go to Sanfa Division for a visit."
Yang Zirong's words made Wei Chao horrified, and he gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to take out a couple of pieces of silver, threw it on the bookshelf, bowed his hand to Tang Run, and ran out in despair.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang."
Tang Run said gratefully.
"No need to be polite, it's just an injustice. Although there is nothing wrong with what "Cui Yingying Waits for the Moon in the West Chamber" said, it is popular, and there are many people who use it as a song. If there is no such book, wouldn't it be a life? Big regret?"
Yang Zirong said, took out a broken piece of silver, handed it to Tang Run, and walked away gracefully.
"This person can definitely become an official."
Jie Jin looked at the direction Yang Zirong left and whispered.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Xie Jin appreciatively. With this vision alone, Xie Jin was enough to sit firmly in the cabinet.
Zhu Zhi shook his head and said: "Young people are too sharp and don't know how to restrain themselves. This may not be a good thing."
Zhu Yunwen smiled calmly and said: "You are wrong. He is not a fool. He did not even use his real name when he came forward to solve problems. It can be seen that he can both decide and plan things. He is mature and prudent, and decisive in situations."
Both Xie Jin and Zhu Zhi were a little surprised. How could the emperor know if someone else used their real names and pseudonyms?
Zhu Zhi couldn't help but asked.
Zhu Yunwen glared at the two of them, and said without blushing, "Yang Zirong is not included in the list of candidates compiled by the Ministry of Rites. Since he is a candidate, he can only use a false name."
Jie Jin frowned and said, "There are more than five thousand people in that list..."
Who can remember more than 5,000 names?
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Xie Jin but said nothing.
When it comes to changing names, the ancients did not follow the martial law law of "walking without changing the name, sitting without changing the surname." When you grow up and feel that the name your father gave you does not sound good and is not enough to express your own aspirations, you can change your name yourself.
For example, Sima Xiangru, a famous writer in the Western Han Dynasty, was originally called Quanzi. When he was a child, he was called Sima Quanzi.
Dog is a dog.
It’s not appropriate to be called Ergouzi all the time, right?
I guess Sima Quanzi had been scolded for twenty years, and he really couldn't stand it. I looked through the history books and realized, oh, this Lin Xiangru is a good person. I want to regard him as my idol. From now on, we will no longer call him Sima Ergouzi. Changed to Sima Xiangru.
You see, changing your name is also a way for ancient people to chase stars...
And Zhu Yuanzhang,
His original name was Zhu Chongba. It is estimated that the old Zhu family wanted to name him "Zhu Baba", but "Zhu Baba" is really easy to confuse the seniority, so "Chongba" is better.
Later, almost all of Zhu Chongba's family died. He hated the Yuan Dynasty and was determined to kill the Yuan Dynasty, so he changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang, which means "Kill the Zhang of the Yuan Dynasty."
Zhang, a jade ritual vessel that looks like a knife.
Of course, in addition to exerting one's own initiative to express emotions and aspirations, there are also times when a name change is passive. For example, if a new emperor ascends the throne and the emperor's name needs to be avoided, the name needs to be changed.
Xu Yungong changed his name to Xu Huizu to avoid the taboo of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yun's name.
Yang Rong has changed his name not once or twice, so let him go.
"Let's go and pay."
Zhu Yunwen walked to the counter, looked at Huang Erjin who was helping, and praised: "You did a good job."
Huang Erjin looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise. Just as he was about to kneel down, he heard Zhu Yunwen say: "Just pay, I just came to take a look."
Huang Erjin quickly took the book, looked at the title, and said respectfully: "Chenghui, eight coins."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi had no choice but to hand the money to Huang Erjin, who in turn handed the money to the shopkeeper.
"Two pounds, come here and take all these books away."
Tang Run said to Huang Erjin with some frustration.
"My boss, this "Cui Yingying's Story of the Moon in the West Chamber" sold very well. If it were taken back, wouldn't it be a big loss..."
Huang Erjin was a little anxious.
Tang Run sighed and said with some dejection: "Although the imperial court has banned it, in recent days, people have come to the shop to mess around, so this is not an option. Instead of keeping them to cause trouble, it is better to throw them into the back hall at a loss. .”
"this……"
Huang Erjin was very reluctant to give up.
In Tang's Bookshop, the sales volume of "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" can be said to be very good. Twenty or thirty copies can be sold every day. Calculated based on the profit of three cents per book, the daily profit is seven or eight taels of silver. Yue Shao said he also had an income of two hundred taels.
If this book were missing, the bookstore would probably be much less profitable.
But Huang Erjin was just a clerk and couldn't make the decision, so he had to follow Tang Run's arrangement and prepare to store "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" in the backyard.
Zhu Yunwen frowned and shouted to Huang Erjin who was about to leave: "Put the books down and sell them here. Since the court has not banned books, it allows the sale and purchase. If anyone keeps messing around, send them to the Yamen." !”
"okay."
Huang Erjin smiled and agreed.
Tang Run glanced at Huang Erjin depressedly, "You are obedient. Is he the boss or am I the boss?"
"It's you?"
Tang Run looked at Zhu Yunwen, remembered it immediately, and asked quickly: "Is Mr. Luo still in the capital? That manuscript..."
It was Tang Run's great regret that Luo Guanzhong and his manuscripts were not left behind.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "Don't think about the manuscript of "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Let's continue selling "The Romance of the West Chamber". I guarantee that no one will do anything wrong in the future."
"Guarantee? How to guarantee?"
Tang Run felt a little bitter, the person in front of him seemed to be a court official.
But what about the court officials? It is impossible to arrange a yamen servant to arrest anyone who makes trouble. The government officials were standing guard, but no one dared to come to the bookshop to buy books.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xie Jin and said, "I leave this matter to you."
Jie Jin was a little surprised, then smiled calmly, nodded and said: "Please also ask the master to prepare some pen and ink for me."
Before Tang Run made any arrangements, Huang Erjin had already prepared everything.
Xie Jin walked to the counter, picked up the brush and moistened the ink, thought for a moment, and then wrote: "Xie Jin bought twenty volumes of "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" and praised it."
After finishing writing, Xie Jin reached out and asked Zhu Zhi for money. Zhu Zhi turned his head away. "The emperor buys books and I pay for them. That's our family. You Jie Jin buys books, why should you ask me for money?"
No!
"Give."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xie Jin's words with satisfaction and said to Zhu Zhi.
Zhu Zhi had no choice but to take out twenty taels of silver and secretly swore:
Xie Jin is here, not shopping.
Tang Run looked at the words on the paper in shock, then looked at Xie Jin, and finally stopped at Zhu Yunwen.
Xie Jin, a world-famous talent and cabinet minister!
If he is Jie Jin, then the young people around him...
emperor? !
Tang Run's legs were a little weak and he didn't know whether to kneel or not. He half-bent his legs and wiped away the cold sweat.
Zhu Yunwen said to Tang Run gently: "As long as you don't violate the imperial ban and just do business, I will make the decision for you. Just one thing, tax evasion or tax evasion is not allowed."
"sure."
Tang Run quickly replied.
"Erjin, let's go. Remember to go home and visit more often."
Zhu Yunwen said hello and left with a smile.
Tang Rungong sent Zhu Yunwen and others away, looked at Huang Erjin, and couldn't help but said: "You actually know the emperor?"
Huang Erjin grinned, picked up the calligraphy left by Xie Jin, and said, "Master, how about we hang this calligraphy at the door of the bookstore?"
"The Evil God"
Suddenly, Tang's Bookstore was crowded with people, and "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" was out of stock, making it difficult to find a copy.
Xie Jin said yes, do you agree?
Xie Jin bought twenty copies. You see, I am also a talented person. How many copies should I buy?
With the best-selling of "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber", the words "We will never be apart forever, and we will always be together forever, and may all the lovers in the world become dependents" have become the most romantic and suave confessions of countless talented people.
