Chapter 229 Site Selection
Chen Sanlang said with a guilty look on his face.
Shopkeeper Li. He is one of my brothers. He is too impatient. He is a little resentful when he sees that I haven't contacted him for a few days. Please don't take it to heart.
Shopkeeper Li thought to himself, since you don’t take it to heart, why should I?
So, pointing to the poetry collection on the chopping board, he asked, "Are you still going to copy it?" Chen Sanlang nodded and said, "Yes, I will definitely copy this poetry collection."
Boss Li glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. He was dirty, with a cloth shirt and pants that had been kicked twice.
Chen Sanlang clapped his hands and followed Huo Ying until the evening. He came back just to confirm with Manager Li that he had copied this book himself and must not let others copy it. He wanted to see if this was the collection of poems compiled by Wang Jingyi.
So I told the shopkeeper that it was too late today, could I copy it tomorrow? The boss thought about it and asked if I could finish copying it tomorrow.
I will come to your door tomorrow morning and try to finish copying before 50. The boss nodded and said, "Okay, then you can copy it tomorrow."
Chen Sanlang greeted the shopkeeper Li and sold the Wenmofang with ease. This was the first time he had done this since he came to Wenmofang to copy books. He walked out of the study room with a happy heart.
It’s not because of how much money I made, but because I finally saw hope and the star in my heart.
Thinking of the stars, Chen Zhiyuan suddenly felt something flash in his head and remembered a name.
Could this name also be Wang Jinyi? Thinking of this, he turned around and ran into the end room to ask Shopkeeper Li who was the author of this book?
Shopkeeper Li looked up at him and said, "This is a book from the study. It has no author. These are official books. Only official bookstores and study rooms can print and sell them. Our store does not have the right to sell this book, but someone wants to buy it, so I have to borrow it and copy it. If someone buys it, you can continue to copy it after a while."
When Chen Sanlang heard this, he nodded. On the way back out of the house, all he could think about was Wang Jingyi.
It turned out that he had been looking for me for a long time, and he had been looking for me in various ways. I was like a fool, copying books for more than a year in vain, and I didn't realize that the person called the star in the night sky was Wang Jinyi.
The more I think about it, the more upset I feel. You know, a girl with strict family education cannot go out at will, so it must be more difficult for her to find herself. How can he be so hopeful and disappointed? How can he publish books year after year to find himself? And how disappointed he is?
Thinking of this, Chen Sanlang stood silently on the street, full of regret. Recalling the first time he copied the sketchbook, he saw the author of the sketchbook, whose name was Stars in the Night Sky. He didn't even think about it, even though he had a little bit of luck guessing that he was Wang Jingyi?
I don't know how long I stood there, and I don't know how many times I heard the sound. Chen Sanlang saw a new moon appear in the sky. The moon was not that bright yet, and the afterglow in the sky had not yet faded. At this moment, he found that he had figured out something.
A song sounded in my ears:
the brightest star in the night sky
Can you hear clearly?
The one who looks up
The loneliness and sigh in my heart...
As the night deepened, Huo Ying finally found Chen Sanlang here. He was standing stupidly on the street with his head down silently.
Huo Ying was a little nervous and took him home with concern. Along the way, Chen Sanlang kept thinking about how Wang Jingyi had been looking forward to him all these years, waiting eagerly for him to get in touch with him.
From then on, Chen Sanlang lived in the county town, copying books carefully every day, working hard to make money, and cooperating with carpenters to complete the design.
However, Chen Sanlang put more focus and time on copying books in different study rooms. He tried hard to ask people where the author of the storybook "Stars in the Night Sky" came from.
The answers were varied. Some said he was an old man, some said he was a lyricist who had been writing books for many years. Some even said he was a young master of the Wang family.
Chen Sanlang could determine that he was still Wang Jinyi, but he could not determine whether he would still be surnamed Wang in this life, so he went around various study rooms to inquire about Wang Jinyi's news...
This year, the provincial examination finally came again. Chen Sanlang rushed to the prefecture city from Junan County in advance. In order to expand his own Mumuqi business, he brought Huo Ying with him.
Over the years, the workshop has grown from a few carpenters who only made simple beds to a small woodworking shop.
Later, under the insistence of Chen Sanlang, rattan weaving, rattan mats and rattan weaving became the special products of the wooden goods industry, which also attracted some people and became another branch of the wooden goods industry.
The reason why there is a rattan and bamboo weaving craft is to add a huge pinyin logo to the woven things. However, after a few years, no one knew these two logos.
Chen Sanlang was not discouraged, because he saw Wang Jingyi trying hard to find him, so he was sure that Wang Jinyi was waiting for him, so he tried his best to expand his sales, from Yunnan County to the surrounding counties, and now he also brought the goods to the capital city.
In the half-collapsed land temple, the two of them lit a fire with the weak light, roasted some dry food, and ate it before sleeping against the wall.
At dawn the next day, Chen Sanlang and Huo Ying set out facing the stars and the morning mist...
… …
In the morning, the Wang family got on the bus and set off. In addition to Xunyang City, there was one piece of land to the east and one to the south. The housewife had already decided that she would buy the land regardless of whether she wanted to build a library or a school. The two pieces of land were just for the family to see which one was better.
The whole family was filled with excitement. After all, this was the first and only property of the Xunyang royal family. It was an inheritance that could be passed down to future generations.
Eight or nine miles east of Xunyang Prefecture, there is a vast plain at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, with a small and quiet Taoist temple on the mountain. There are green mountains and lakes around. There are large tracts of wasteland. There are no cultivated land or farmers. The land is open and surrounded by lush trees. It looks like there are three or four hectares, which is very suitable for building a school or a systematic library.
Without giving the family a chance to discuss or rest, he took them to the next address they had chosen.
This place is in the south lane of Xunyang Prefecture. After walking for nearly ten miles, there is a lush mountain in front of a group of mountains. The mountain is not very flat, but sloped. There is a temple on the mountain. From a distance, it is quiet and peaceful. The surrounding trees are still calm. In the distance, there is a small lake in front, with clear water flowing through.
After looking at both plots of land, my grandfather stood with a group of men and discussed their judgment of the surrounding environment. He took out the deeds of the two plots of land and told everyone what was special about the two teams.
