Chapter 11 Maximizing Benefits

The prefect came to visit a schoolboy unheard of, and he walked away, and for a time half of Suzhou City was spread all over: it turned out that the son of the doctor was a prodigy, and he had been hiding at home and not known.

Now the prefect has personally visited him and accepted him as a protΓ©gΓ©, and his future is limitless.

The businessman's gaze is always the most accurate, and the fastest to start. After learning the news, the Zhou family took the lead and sent a heavy gift, saying that the two sons have always been good friends and are willing to make friends for the two children, and at the same time, it is best for the two families to become world friends.

For the engagement of the two children, Guo Zhong does not object, this is a fact, and he likes Zhou Wenjie very much, gentle and kind, not like the children of the rich businessman and the giant.

As for Zhou Wenbin, Zhong doesn't like it very much, but on the one hand, he has to be planted sooner or later, he has seen a lot of such people.

The two families became world friends, and the person who came said it very tactfully, and he also politely excused himself, only saying that he was a poor family and did not dare to climb high.

The Zhou family also knew that although literati could not live without money, they always had to keep their homes high on the surface, and they would inevitably be a little repulsive to businessmen.

The Zhou family is not in a hurry, as long as the first step is reached, they will be satisfied, as for the matter of world relations, they can let Zhou Wenbin and their generation complete it.

Zhou Wenjie came with his family, but after greeting Guo Zhong, he went into the house and never came out.

"What happened last night? You tell me honestly, we've known each other for more than three years, and I didn't expect you to have so many things I don't know. "Dare to love him, he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

After Zhou Wenbin went back last night, he pulled him up from the bed and asked him about the matter, but he didn't know anything about it, and naturally felt as if he had been deceived.

After Zhou's father figured out the situation, his eyes lit up, and he decided to start first and lock in this potential stock, not for anything else, but to have a good helper for his two sons in the future.

Zhou's father is not a whim, the youngest son Zhou Wenjie is a friend with him, so why not do it. It's a pity that he is still one step behind Lian Daning.

"Hey, you came to the door with a fierce attitude, are you looking for a fight?" Besides, he is not afraid of him, compared to his fists, he can knock down two Zhou Wenjie.

"When will you draw lotus flowers? I've never seen you draw them. And when did you go to the Longmen Grottoes, I have never seen you copy any statue inscriptions from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

My uncle is going crazy when he goes back, and he hasn't slept until now with one of your words and paintings, and his eyes are all fixed on it. also scolded our brothers for being unproductive, you said that we were not wronged. ”

Where's all this?

"By the way, my uncle also asked me to give you a message, I want to exchange three paintings for one of you, and five words for your dragon crossing the river. ”

"It's a dragon monument, what crosses the river but can't cross the river. ”

"You are going to make a fortune, uncle's calligraphy and paintings are priced, they are set by the palace, a small piece of silver 100 taels, a medium 200 taels, a huge 1,000 taels.

And his handwriting is based on the price of words, five taels of silver in small characters, ten taels of big characters, you can calculate how much silver you can get this time.

I've thought about it for you, and you just ask for a small one for a medium one, and it's enough to have a top one. ”

"Well, that's enough for friendship, I'll give you dividends when I turn around. ”

The two children began to study what to write and draw, how much silver they could get in the end, and how to divide the dividends.

"You get the calligraphy and painting done first, and then I will go back and negotiate the price code for you, and then exchange it with my uncle." Zhou Wenjie's face was red with joy.

"Hmm. Besides, he nodded in agreement. Secret Dao really deserves to be a businessman's son, and he knows how to maximize benefits at such a young age.

"You said that my words are not much worse than yours, why doesn't anyone buy them?" As soon as the topic changed, Zhou Wenjie said indignantly.

"Your family's silver is piled up like a mountain, and you still have scarce silver. ”

"This has nothing to do with silver, first of all, I don't have that much silver in my family. You have to know how much a person's calligraphy and painting are worth, which is not only a price, but also represents the status and identity of the person. Zhou Wenjie explained.

Well, this businessman is really inherited by nature, and he knows everything from the perspective of economics. Besides, I thought to myself. In contrast, he is really a scholar, and he would not have thought of so much at all.

"Okay, let me see what kind of font your Raptors crossed the river and caused so many troubles. Zhou Wenjie said, pulled him to the table, and forced him to write it for himself.

"Just write it, and I'll have to write one for your uncle anyway. ”

Besides, sitting at the table, I haven't started writing for a long time.

"What, do you still need to brew ideas for writing?" Zhou Wenjie wondered.

"Of course, you have to conceive, or you can't say it's a creation. ”

"You are so particular, as long as you write out the words and count enough words, you can do it. Zhou Wenjie urged.

Besides, he is indeed conceiving, he wants to remove the things that obviously belong to the modern flavor in his brushwork, and then try to write with a reckless atmosphere, but it is not the too old and spicy and refined penmanship of He Shaoji in the late Qing Dynasty.

As for the full text of the inscription and the glyphs, he remembered it clearly, after all, he had been copying it for several years and was quite skilled.

He wrote down word by word, but in his mind he meditated on the desert barren sand, wild grass and lonely cliffs, which was to seek a kind of artistic conception when painting, that is, he infiltrated some painting methods into calligraphy.

It took him nearly an hour to finish writing the full text of the inscription, and then threw his pen on the table, crying out to death.

Zhou Wenjie was also stunned and muttered:

"To be honest, I can't see how good this word is, and I don't like it, but there is really a breath on the paper that reminds me of ...... Well, yes, that song of Eile, the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. Yes, that's it. ”

"Although you don't know how to read, your senses are still sharp enough, and that's exactly what I'm trying to express. And smiled happily.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Guo Yu walked in quickly, shouting, "Brother Wenjie, why haven't you seen anyone for more than ten days, I thought you forgot us." ”

"How dare you forget you, didn't I come? A few days ago, I was forced by my son to endorse at home. Zhou Wenjie hurriedly replied with a smile.

He is a frequent visitor, and he is not a big person, so he doesn't have to avoid any suspicion of men and women, and the three of them often read and chat together, which can be regarded as a threesome.

Besides, it was too late to put away the written words in a hurry, and Yu Yu's petite hand had already pressed on it.

"What are you anxious about, show me, what is this? ”

"It's written. "Besides.

"Is the word written like this? How do I see it like a painting, this is a calligraphy and painting, and the words have a pictorial meaning?"

Besides, I'm convinced, what kind of people are I met, the old ones are the old rivers and lakes that have become fine, and the small ones are all small people, and none of them are easy to fool, it seems that it is really not good to be careful in the future.

"This is mine," Guo Yu began to roll up without saying a word.

"Hey, sister, this is written for Wen Jie's uncle, I'll write it to you later. "Besides, he hurriedly stopped it.

"Oh, then give it to you, I thought you wrote it for fun, and then you lost it. I didn't come to ask you to write, but to ask you to draw me a picture of a peony, and I want to practice embroidery. ”

"I said sister, you can draw it yourself, why let him draw it. Zhou Wenjie said.

"My orchid painting is better than my brother's, but peonies are not good. ”

"But don't you know ......," Zhou Wenjie said a little ambiguously.

"Shut up, okay. And put his hand over his mouth.

"What's the matter, you hide it from me so hard, even my little sister can't hide it. Zhou Wenjie struggled and said.

"What are you two doing?"

"Your brother actually paints the best lotus flowers. Zhou Wenjie pushed away his palm and said loudly. And then there's the thrill of leaking the secrets.

"Lotus? He has never painted a lotus, you lied to me, you lied to me that I was a puppy. Guo Yu smiled at him with a little hand gesture like a puppy.

"Really, let's see if he can draw lotus flowers. I said, besides, don't be too yin, okay, my little sister grew up with you, and I have been studying with you for three years, and no one knows that you can draw lotus flowers, and you can draw so well, how many secret weapons have you secretly cultivated? ”

Besides, he couldn't say weakly: "I really haven't painted it before, but I painted one blindly yesterday, and who knew that it was taken by your crazy uncle." ”

"Let's trick the ghosts, and it's just the two of us. Do you believe that?"

Besides, of course I don't believe it, he has practiced too much Western oil painting and Wei Beibei, and any one of them can shock the world, but it is not far from revealing the truth.

"Then draw it, I'll see. Guo Yu said curiously.

"It's really not good, you two spare me, I've exhausted my writing just now, and I have to draw tomorrow." ”

Zhou Wenjie saw that he was indeed a little tired, although he couldn't understand why writing was so painstaking, but he couldn't bear to force him, and said with a smile:

"It's okay tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but you must let me watch you draw, and my little sister. Don't hide anything from us anymore. ”

Subsequently, Zhou Wenjie told Guo Yu what he heard yesterday, and the two amazing performances not only stunned his own uncle, but even Old Master Chen and Lian Prefect couldn't hold their breath, and the three of them grabbed their protΓ©gΓ©s at the wine table and almost got into a fight.

"This is your nonsense, a big fight, your uncle may be able to do this, Old Master Chen and Master Lian will definitely not. Besides, he corrected.

"I'm not out of the question. ”

"Add oil and vinegar, big things are exaggerated, I didn't expect you to have this ability. Dare to say that it is not outrageous. ”

"Don't blame me, I heard it, and I can't make a mistake in a word. Zhou Wenjie put the blame for adding oil and vinegar to his brother.

"Brother, what he said is true? Don't talk about them, I haven't seen you draw lotus flowers, and write about raptors crossing the river. Guo Yu couldn't close his mouth when he heard it.

"You believe in him. Besides, he snorted, "It's not a raptor crossing the river, it's a dragon monument." Have you forgotten? In our early years, we passed by a place and saw an inscription, and I thought it was good, so I extended it down, and after practicing for a while, I gave up. ”

"How come I don't remember. "After all, it's easy to deceive, but I'm a little skeptical.

"You were young and didn't remember it very well. "And say it calmly.

Guo Yu trusted his brother, and the matter passed.

"By the way, a few days ago, I heard that your house was going to marry the Suzhou Yun family, so I said hello to you. Besides, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Where is it to say kiss to me, it is to my brother. ”

"Oh, I also heard that Miss Yun is also a beautiful and talented girl, and it is just right to match your brother. The two of you are still walking together. But doesn't it mean that peers are enemies?"

"Not a peer, you don't know. Zhou Wenjie explained, "My family is just buying, and the Yun family is weaving and spinning. ”

"In this way, won't all the royal money be earned by the two of you?"

"Where, although the royal silver is easy to earn, it is impossible to fall into one family, our family is only responsible for buying fabrics, and there are those who specialize in buying porcelain, there are those who specialize in purchasing fat powder for the ladies in the palace, and there are also those who specialize in buying gold, silver, jewelry and jewelry, and more, and there is even one that specializes in buying toilets for the palace. When it comes to the bank, Zhou Wenjie is gushing.

His brother and sister are not involved in the family business, but they have heard a lot of these things, and they are naturally familiar with them.

"There should be a special one responsible for the purchase of toilets?"

"What's so strange about this, there are tens of thousands of people in the palace, how much do the toilets need? Besides, there are too many levels, and the toilets are also divided into various levels, and there are so many things here, I can't tell for a while. ”

Besides, the brother and sister were also dumbfounded. The palace is actually just the emperor's family, but it has almost caught up with a country.

Besides, he was not interested in the secrets of the palace, mainly to divert the topic of Zhou Wenjie, and he would not ask anymore after he was introduced, but Guo Yu was very curious about the life of the lady in the palace, and pulled Zhou Wenjie to ask questions, Zhou Wenjie had to be patient, answer them one by one as best he knew, and make Guo Yu laugh from time to time.

The three of them were talking and laughing, but Mother Liu walked in and said in a panic: "Young master, what kind of old master came in front, the master asked you to hurry over, and Young Master Wenjie also went together." ”

"Old master?"

Besides, I have a headache, but don't rush to this day.
