Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Chapter 121 This paper is so white

at dinner time.

Cheng Yaojin's family is eating in the main hall.

Chen Chu was not there, but sneaked out for a walk with Li Lizhi.

Cheng Yaojin took a rare piece of mutton for Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi respectively, and said: "Chumo, Chubi, I regret being a father now. I should have let you study hard at the beginning. Now that the world is at peace, Tubo is also After being pacified, there is no future as a general, it would be better to be a literati honestly... Fortunately, the fifth younger brother is in our mansion, and His Majesty appointed Kong Yingda as his teacher to teach him poetry and rites. You catch up with this good opportunity, In the future, you must learn from Kong Yingda carefully. In a few days, I will send people out to tell everyone that Kong Yingda has accepted the two of you as disciples, and you will kill him as students in the future. In this way, others will not dare to scold you. Our Duke Lu’s mansion already has three warriors, and we can produce two scholars in the future..."

Cheng Yaojin's wishful thinking jingled.

Kong Yingda is a celebrity, a representative of the Tang Confucian school.

It is easy not to accept disciples.

And most of his disciples are very powerful in Confucianism.

Things like Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi were crying and kneeling, but Kong Yingda couldn't even read them.

Cheng Yaojin wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to force his two sons to Kong Yingda with his private goods.

When he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi shook their heads at the same time.

Cheng Chumo said: "Father, I'm afraid this matter is hopeless."

Cheng Yaojin said indifferently: "Why is there no hope? Do you not trust your father and me?"

Cheng Chubi said from the side: "Father, no, Master Kong probably won't come again!"

"Why? He promised me to come to the mansion every day." Cheng Yaojin looked curious.

Cheng Chubi smiled and said: "Father, Master Kong was run away by uncle..."

He briefly described the situation at that time.

puff……

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin spit out all the food he ate.

After a long while, he said dumbfoundedly: "Fifth brother, that's too cruel... Even Kong Yingda was humiliated by him, really, ahem..."

He didn't even know how to evaluate it.

……

at the same time.

When Kong Yingda returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong.

He picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, then threw the teacup away angrily.

What kind of broken tea is so bad!

He suddenly stood up and said, "I know, that kid Chen Chu did it on purpose. How can someone who can write wine, wine, and luminous cups not even know the Book of Songs? What he did was to make things difficult for the old man. He did it on purpose." Get angry with me, and you don’t need to learn poetry... Oh, think about how old I am, I didn’t see the way at that time, hum, boy, even the old man dares to be angry, you don’t want to learn poetry, but the old man wants to teach you."

Suddenly, Kong Yingda was full of energy, as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

……

early morning.

Birds and flowers.

After Chen Chu and Li Lizhi got up, they washed and dressed up.

The two sat in the courtyard and had breakfast.

Li Lizhi suddenly asked: "Husband, I heard that my father asked Master Confucius to teach you poetry and ritual?"

Chen Chu nodded: "It's true!"

Li Lizhi asked gently: "Honey, don't you like those red tape things?"

Chen Chu nodded.

As a person with a loose personality, it was impossible for Chen Chu to be as rigid and lifeless as many nerds in this era.

Li Lizhi put down her chopsticks and said, "Honey, I have a way..."

"any solution?"

Li Lizhi said seriously: "When I send some guards to beat Master Kong quietly, it is best to keep him out of the house for a month. In this way, won't you be clean? After Master Kong is a saint, And he is good at academics, even my father admires him very much, but, he is getting old, and he is long-winded all day long..."

As she spoke, she looked smug.

But suddenly there was a coughing sound from the door.

The two turned their heads and saw Kong Yingda standing at the threshold with black hair.

Li Lizhi looked embarrassed, she got up quickly, saluted Kong Yingda slightly, and then ran away quickly.

Kong Yingda walked up to Chen Chu and sat down, and said flatly, "It's not a man who criticizes people behind his back..."

As he said that, he gave Chen Chu an unhappy look.

Chen Chu waved his hand: "I didn't say what I said just now, it was said by the eldest princess. Old Kong, if you don't accept it, you can go to the father to complain!"

Kong Yingda flicked his sleeves angrily: "How can I be angry with a child when I am old?"

As he spoke, he calmly picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, narrowed his eyes and began to taste the tea.

Ever since I drank this light tea, I can never find the joy of drinking dark cooking tea.

After tasting the tea, Kong Yingda did not forget the purpose of his visit.

He looked at Chen Chu and said, "I've eaten earlier, let me go to the study with the old man to learn poetry."

Chen Chu was dumbfounded: "Still studying? Don't need to take the exam?"

Seeing this, Kong Yingda felt very proud.

Humph, don't think that the old man doesn't know what tricks you want to play.

He shook his head and said: "There is no need to test the teacher, the old man has something to teach you..."

Whatever he said, he would not be fooled by Chen Chu.

Chen Chu originally thought that Lao Kong would be devastated after experiencing a blow.

Unexpectedly, after one night passed, this guy chased after him without giving up.

Apart from using crooked poems to attack Kong Yingda, Chen Chu really didn't have any good ideas for a while.

Thinking about it, he waved his hand: "Old Kong, if you want to learn poetry, wait until the afternoon, I'm busy now."

As he said that, before Kong Yingda could react, he entered the room and brought out a stack of thick papers.

Among them, there are the blast furnaces he designed and pencil drawings.

During this time, Chen Chude was free to study these two things.

If it was in the era of advanced technology, with the blast furnace ironmaking guide and pencil manufacturing guide he mastered, it could be made soon.

But not now, the technology is too backward.

Many things that Chen Chu needed could not be realized at all.

He can only combine the current technology and design again and again to achieve his goal.

Kong Yingda hurried over. He looked and looked, but couldn't understand what Chen Chu was painting.

But suddenly, his eyes widened, he rushed forward, lying on the ground like an idiot, gently stroking the paper in front of him with his hands, almost drooling.

Chen Chu: "..."

But Kong Yingda said excitedly: "This paper..."

"This paper is so white!"

"This paper is so slippery!"

"This paper is so tender, ah no, it's so good!"

As he spoke, he stared at the paper affectionately, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

I am!

Chen Chu's heart was broken.

This is a pervert, right?

He shouted: "Old Kong, what the hell are you doing?"

Kong Yingda acted as if she hadn't heard, touching the paper excitedly, and fell into a madness.

When Chen Chu saw it, he was a little worried.

This old man won't do something indescribable to my design drawings on impulse, will he?

……

Chapter 122 I just laughed at you

"Old Kong..."

"Old Kong, do you want a wife?"

"Old Kong, your crotch is gone!"

Chen Chu kept shouting from the side.

He also waved his hand in front of Kong Yingda.

After a while, Kong Yingda stood up, turned her head suddenly, stared at Chen Chu, and asked, "Boy, where did you get this paper from?"

Chen Chu asked curiously, "Is this important?"

Kong Yingda said excitedly: "This is too important..."

Old Kong's performance made Chen Chu even more confused.

When Chen Chuchu came to Datang, he felt that paper was very precious, and there were still many places where he kept the habit of writing on bamboo slips and wood chips.

He once asked people to buy paper in Chang'an City, and the paper he bought back was not only expensive, but the quality was not very good.

It happened that one of Chen Chu’s craftsmen had learned papermaking. Chen Chu immediately organized Zhu Neng and others, and after some research, he improved the papermaking technique of this era and built a small papermaking workshop under Qingfengzhai. Chen Chu used all the paper made in his paper-making workshop.

But he didn't expect that Kong Yingda, a great Confucian of his generation, would be so excited when he saw this kind of paper.

Kong Yingda picked up a piece of paper and said, "Old man, I have never seen such a white and smooth paper. Only the ivy paper used in the palace can match it, but when it comes to whiteness, it is still this kind of paper." Even better..."

Chen Chu was startled, and asked, "You mean, Datang, there is no such white paper?"

Kong Yingda nodded: "I have lived most of my life, but I have never seen him."

Chen Chu lowered his head and pondered.

Soon, he figured out the key.

The papermaking technology of this era is actually still very backward.

For example, the famous Xuan paper and bamboo paper of later generations have not yet appeared.

But the bleaching of papermaking in this era is completely using sunlight bleaching technology. No matter how much sunlight is used for bleaching, the final product will still turn yellow.

Even rattan paper dedicated to the royal family is no exception.

Moreover, there are very few types of high-quality paper in this era, and the price is very expensive.

Paper is simply a luxury for ordinary people.

Therefore, to see whether a person is rich, just look at his family's collection of books.

A family with a large collection of books is bound to be rich.

The reason is that paper is expensive, and even more expensive when it is printed as a book.

Even a great Confucian like Kong Yingda, who also holds an official position in the court, does not need the rattan paper specially used by the royal family.

No wonder he lost his composure when he saw Chen Chu's manuscript!

Because, Chen Chu asked Zhu Neng to wait for the man-made paper to add a lot of chemicals that he had prepared for the bleaching alone.

Looks whiter than any paper!

Then, Kong Yingda looked at Chen Chu eagerly: "Boy Chen, where did you buy this paper?"
