Volume 2: Storms and clouds surging, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River Chapter 243: Undercurrents surging
Everyone commented on the stinky tofu again. They really couldn't stop eating it. They were a little disappointed when they learned that it would only be sold tomorrow. Looking at the dishes on the table, they felt a little tasteless.
"The person Zichuan is talking about must be Miss Liu..." Xia Kang chuckled.
Jiang Ning was startled, and then he held up his hands and said, "Mr. Xia really is still alive, and I can't hide anything from you..."
Jiang Ning talked a little bit about the meeting between the two and the stinky tofu incident, but naturally he would not tell the whole story.
"Hey, Zichuan, sometimes you have a headache..."
This is the last emotion of the two old people. Although they seem to be just friends now, as long as a woman meets Jiang Ning like this, it is difficult not to be attracted to him. However, the identity of Jiang Ning's son-in-law will be a problem sooner or later, but This problem may be big or small.
"Haha, since we are friends, I will naturally help if I can." Jiang Ning said.
"Well, this is the truth. The word "love" is simple to put it. There are not many people who can really do what Zichuan does." Xia Kang said.
It was already noon, so Jiang Ning was left to have dinner at his house. Xia Qiangjun had already gone out to make preliminary arrangements. He needed to find the person, and more importantly, what should be done in the safest way after finding him.
The aftermath of "Magpie Bridge Immortal" began to ferment in the city of Hangzhou today, and the situation was even more serious than last time. Among the brothels, teahouses and restaurants, everyone was talking about the Wang family's adopted son-in-law, Jiangning Jiang Zichuan.
Some say that talented people can write poems in eight steps, and the artistic conception and wording are all superior, and they have great potential to surpass Wang Zi'an; some say that talented people are proud, and in that kind of situation, whether they know each other or not, they should come forward. , to preserve the character of the literati; some say that it is a deliberate setup, otherwise why is it such a coincidence? Although there are many things to say, no one said that the attitude towards this poem is bad, and many people even asked everyone to Write it down and think carefully about its meaning.
"Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will be better than countless people in the world." The gifted man and the beautiful woman, the flowers and candles in the wedding room, are just this kind of feeling. Under the golden wind and jade dew, it is indeed better than anything in the world. "What if the love lasts for a long time? In the morning and evening." The beauty of Butterfly Lovers and the deep love between Cowherd and Cowherd does not lie in their eventual marriage, but in their everlasting love. This sentence summarizes it, overthrowing all the previous articles. This sentence alone responds to Chen Ziang's words. "The ancients have never been seen before, and the newcomers have never been seen after." It is indeed not groundless to say that he can be compared with Wang Zi'an.
But the version in the brothel and the Chu Pavilion is another story. Jiang Ning, a great talent, could swallow his anger and marry into his wife as his son-in-law. The Wang family's Miss Wang Ruoyan must also have the appearance of a fairy, but even so, her literary talent is too low. , it is said that this couple respects each other as if they are guests, and they are like each other. How loving they are. This is true love...
After he composed the music, it was sung in the brothels, Chu Palaces, and Yingzhou on the West Lake.
Of course, Jiang Ning only came to know this later. Qin Guan's poems, given their status, were naturally expected to arouse repercussions.
Jiang Ning left the palace in the afternoon and wanted to visit some blacksmiths and coppersmiths. After all, the market research on stinky tofu has been basically completed, and the audience has expressed great welcome. Xia Qiangjun still used his connections in the General's Palace. Jiang Ning forced Shengsheng got a pound of gunpowder from Xia Qiangjun, which was an unexpected surprise.
I originally planned to make gunpowder using local methods, but now it seems that it is necessary to have a good relationship with Xia Qiangjun. After all, making gunpowder is also extremely dangerous. Although the landmines made using local methods during the Anti-Japanese War were effective, their lethality was limited.
There are also a lot of dumb mines. If we use the gunpowder currently used by the army, the success rate should be much higher.
This pound of dynamite is not very effective as a bomb. The best thing is to make a simple pistol. In today's terms, it is a firecracker. Although there are already firecrackers, according to the introduction on Xia Qiangjun's dinner table, it is a bamboo tube.
If it is made, there is a risk of the chamber exploding after three or five times.
Jiang Ning has done a lot of research on the muskets of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. These muskets, artillery and fire whips played a huge role in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and to a certain extent determined the outcome of the war. Later, the Mongolian army went on an expedition and brought gunpowder to Europe. The Mauser gun
came out and completely began to use gunpowder to change the world.
However, it had been ten years since I had seen it, and I still needed to think carefully about the system. Thinking of this, Jiang Ning turned around and headed towards the laboratory.
"Brother Zichuan?" Jiang Ning was walking when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. Before he could turn around, a man had already arrived in front of him. He cupped his hands and said to him: "My lord, Zhao Lixuan, I saw Brother Zichuan retreat last night."
The Prefect's Mansion, I admire you so much, you can write a poem in eight steps, just like looking up at a high mountain, looking at the ocean and sighing. See you again today. I can't help but come. I hope I won't disturb Brother Dao Zichuan."
Jiang Ning returned the favor with a smile and said, "It's nothing, so don't bother me. I don't have anything else to do."
He has heard of Zhao Lixuan, who is as famous as Guang Anjun and Chen Qinian. He is a first-class talent in Hangzhou. He was invited to the poetry meeting held by Donglin Society and left many well-known masterpieces. But with
Chen Qinian had some conflicts. He took the Imperial Examination in Beijing two years ago and was already on the imperial list with fame.
"Isn't Brother Zhao in Dongdu? When..." Jiang Ning hesitated and took two steps forward.
Zhao Lixuan smiled awkwardly: "It's a long story. It's a long story. I wonder where Brother Zichuan is going? I have nothing to do, so I can go with Brother Zichuan."
Jiang Ning nodded: "That's fine. You should be quite familiar with Hangzhou. I really need to ask for advice on something."
"I don't dare to ask for advice. As soon as "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" and "Xianyun Nongqiao" came out, Brother Zichuan has firmly occupied the top spot as the number one talent in Hangzhou. Asking for advice would be a shame." Zhao Lixuan shook his head and waved his hands: "If so,
If you know anything, you will definitely tell me everything you know, and you will tell me everything you know.”
"Um..." Jiang Ning wasn't too interested in these two poems. Although it was inevitable that they would cause a sensation, he didn't expect it to be such a sensation. He then said, "Brother Zhao, does he know if there are any coppersmiths or blacksmiths in the city?"
Is the craftsmanship good?"
"Coppersmith and blacksmith?" Zhao Lixuan frowned, but he didn't know why Jiang Ning asked these questions, but since he asked, he always had to answer.
"I know that Master Li in the south of the city is considered the best. In recent years, the household ironware in the Prefecture and General's Mansion has been made by Master Li, but the price is a bit high." Zhao Lixuan said: "If it is cheaper,
, there is also a family in the west of the city, which is not bad. They are Master Li's apprentices. Later they established their own business, but they have already passed on it personally. Does Brother Zichuan want to make some tools? "
Jiang Ning turned around and went back: "Let's go to the south of the city. I'll go check it out first. Price is not an issue."
After walking two steps, he turned around and said, "There is a Yuemingfengqing restaurant on Wenyuan Street and Confucius Street. I'll treat you to breakfast tomorrow morning." After saying that, he left quickly.
"Have breakfast?" Zhao Lixuan was stunned on the spot, looking at Jiang Ning's back as he hurried away. He didn't know what weird things were in his head. He was a coppersmith and blacksmith, and breakfast. He didn't look like a literary talent at all.
Zigai
He might be able to write the swan song "If love lasts forever", and his talent must be above him. I also think of Donglin Club, Chen Qinian and others deliberately posted posts for every poetry meeting, but Jiang Ning did not.
Rejected, now invite him to dinner?
This kind of brain circuit was really unbelievable to him, but at least in Jiang Ning's view, he should be different.
Master Li is very famous. When he went to Jiangning and made some inquiries, he found the shop. He said it was a shop, but it was just a slightly larger workshop.
Jiang Ning simply drew the drawings on the spot, figuring out where to build, where there were difficulties, and where to improve. At the beginning, Master Li was not willing to take the business because he had more important things to do, but when
When Jiang Ning took out the ten taels of silver that Yue Ya had put away because he was worried that he would go out without any money, Jiang Ning's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he even promised to complete the construction of these pipes and sticks in half a month.
