The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 8
But Fu Yuchen hesitated to speak, and after muttering for a while, he seemed to make up his mind, raised his head and said: "I can't go out for a while, and I can't expect my friends to come to see me, I'm so bored... you have to Help!"

Fu Xuechen was puzzled: "Help you? Help you for what?"

"The story book! I want to read the story book!" Fu Yuchen carefully told: "You can go to Guan Enming, Zhang Chuyang is also fine, just tell them that you want to read the latest story book, any story book is fine, the more exciting the better Okay, let them help you find it, and if you find it, it will be handed over to you quietly, and you can bring it back to me directly, without letting your parents know! I will pay you the money for buying the book! How about it?"

Talking book?Isn't that just a novel?Fu Xuechen couldn't help but looked Fu Yuchen up and down, really couldn't tell, so this kid is still a fan of novels!It is the age when he should study the Four Books and Five Classics hard, but he does not read the extra-curricular books for his homework, no wonder he is still sneaky and dare not let his parents know.

Thinking this way in her heart, Fu Xuechen couldn't help saying: "Hey! How dare you mention it! Don't read the good books, read the storybook! Let your parents know that if you are beaten, you will have to implicate me. I say you still have it. Take care of your wounds honestly!"

"Hey!" Fu Yuchen was unhappy, and said with a face full of grievances: "Fu Xuechen, do you still have a conscience! I am in pain all day long, but you go out every day with my identity, let you do me a little favor, you Learn to teach me a lesson, I am your brother!"

"Furthermore! I'm recuperating! I can't concentrate when I'm in pain, how can I concentrate on my homework? On the contrary, reading some scriptures can make me forget the pain in my leg for a short time... You are my twin sister, we two They are connected by blood, why don't you feel sorry for me?"

Fine!There is some truth in these remarks, and besides, as the eldest son of the Hou family, Fu Yuchen will inevitably become a noble in the future, and he does not need to compete with others for the imperial examination. He wants to read a few scripts while recuperating, which is not a high requirement.

Fu Xuechen agreed: "Okay! Then I will contact your friends in the afternoon and ask them to find the script for you."

Fu Yuchen just smiled: "You really are my good girl! You go! Go and come back!"

Seeing Fu Xuechen close the door and leave, thinking that her sister's achievements today will be counted on her in the future, Fu Yuchen grinned wanting to be happy, but it touched the wound, ouch, it was painful and happy, and the feeling was indescribable.

In Guozixue, only teachers teach compulsory courses in the morning, and elective courses in the afternoon. Students can choose to take it or not according to their own preferences. As a result, there are groups of students who skip classes in the afternoon, but there is no teacher to reprimand and control them.

Fu Xuechen's teenagers who went to the palace in the morning to participate in the selection of the prince's companions did not need to take the afternoon off. They were all free to do their own activities. If there was no prior agreement, it would be troublesome to find someone in the era without mobile phones.

Fu Xuechen found Guan Enming first, but he was not found in his home or at Guozixue. In contrast, Zhang Chuyang was more honest. In the end, Fu Xuechen opened up a place in Guozixue for students to practice the second art of archery. In the corner, I found Zhang Chuyang who was playing Cuju with others.

"Yuchen, what do you want me for?"

Having won Cuju, Zhang Chuyang, who retreated from the field in high spirits, was smiling, and asked Fu Xuechen while putting on his outer robe.

Fu Xuechen was not in a hurry to return to him, but saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, and then said: "I've been a little bored recently, and I want to find some new words to relieve my boredom. Do you have anything to introduce?"

Zhang Chuyang was a little surprised: "The story book? Don't you usually like to search for it with Guan Enming?"

That's why Fu Xuechen went to find Guan Enming first!Unfortunately, he was not found.

"I didn't find anyone, and I don't know where he went." Fu Xuechen was helpless.

Zhang Chuyang was puzzled: "Is this urgent? You can't find anyone now, so you can look for him later! After school, he will definitely return home."

Fu Xuechen nodded: "I've read all the old scripts, and I don't have homework today, so I'm afraid I'll be bored tonight, so I'm in a hurry! It's best to take the new scripts home before school is over."

Zhang Chuyang understood: "That's fine! I'll go and ask for you, you wait here for me."

There are stone tables and benches beside the bamboo clumps for people to rest their feet. Fu Xuechen agreed, and immediately sat down at the stone table, watching Zhang Chuyang leave.

This is the advantage of Guozixue. The people gathered here are all scholars. Many people have the hobby of collecting and copying scripts. Many private engraved scripts that are not available in the market can be found in this Guozixue. , As for how these scripts that are not in circulation on the market come from, no one has investigated. Fu Xuechen guessed that maybe there are works created by Guozixue students under pseudonyms under their pseudonyms.

This kind of private copying of private scripts is not available in the book market outside, so if you want a guy like Fu An to go to the book market to buy it, it won’t work, and you can’t buy it, and even a student of Guozixue must have a wide enough circle , who has connections, knows how to find this kind of script, and who to buy it from. This is also the key that Fu Xuechen didn't know until he asked Fu An carefully.

Then why some good story books circulated in Guozixue can't be bought in the book market, Fu Xuechen thought about it for a while, and he understood. In the eyes of most Confucian scholars, it is difficult to be elegant, and it belongs to petty skills, not serious knowledge. Any student who circulates the scriptures in private is known by the master, and he will be scolded and punished.

Therefore, students who like to read story books are easily regarded as playboys who do not want to make progress, and students who write story books are also considered to be unscrupulous, immoral, and not doing business properly. If they are discovered, they will be punished severely. heavier.

This forces students who like to read scripts to be sneaky, and students who write scripts are even more secretive. Even if they are poor and need to sell a few scripts for money, they dare not go to the book market to find someone to publish For distribution, only dare to copy it in private and secretly sell it for money.

In fact, there was a similar phenomenon in the era of martial arts in the ancient and gentle world of the earth. In that era, martial arts novels were treated like banned books in schools. Many students liked to read them, and they would secretly read them even in class. Teachers and parents hated it. , will be confiscated and punished upon discovery.

This paradox continues until the 21st century, but martial arts novels are gradually being replaced by online novels. Who knows that many wonderful online novels are written by students, and they even earn a lot of money for tuition and living expenses.

The best of them simply engage in online writing full-time after graduation, so that online novel writers have developed into a new type of profession with many practitioners.

At this time, the Darong Empire has just been established for a few years, and everything in the current era is similar to that of China on earth at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty.

Fu Xuechen was in it, feeling the contradictory attitudes of the teachers and students of Guozixue towards the scriptures, and sometimes I couldn’t help thinking that the four great classics respected by the Chinese on Earth, such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West, were not originally folklore Is it a story in the book?
It's just that someone collected them, sorted them out, and recreated them on the basis of the predecessors. Only then did they become masterpieces for later generations with their wonderful writing style, unified style of writing, complete storyline, and popularity among the people.
