March 27, 34th year of Jiajing.

Qian Yuan solemnly kowtowed in front of the spiritual seat, turned around and saluted in the southeast direction, and then stood up straight and opened his arms, and the two maids changed the long robes that had been prepared for him.

Lu on the side smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, isn't it good-looking?" It was you who said you wanted to be blue. ”

Qian Yuan's cheeks moved, and he could only nod, such a deep royal blue, and it was also dotted with silk gold threads, which was really a bit of a sass.

"Huizhou rice wine is quite famous, drink two glasses in the evening." Gu Chengzhi patted Qian Yuan's shoulder, "It's a little taller again." ”

Of course, Qian Yuan has been searching for goat milk and milk, and trying to maintain a balanced nutrition, and it has grown a little longer in the past half a year, about 1.75 meters, which is not short in the southeast region.

"Yuan'er, the next thing is the township test." Tan took his son's hand and told him carefully, "When the time comes, go to Nanjing and light two ever-bright lanterns in Dabao'en Temple, and your father and brother will bless you." ”

"Mother, there's still half a year." Qian Yuan was speechless, "Besides, it's not certain whether you can pass the scientific examination." ”

Not all talents can participate in the township examination, they must go through the scientific examination presided over by the school officer, and only if they do well can they get the qualification for the township examination.

"What kind of frustration is this!" Lu reprimanded: "This kind of thing is not allowed to be said in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, nephew obeys." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a few drinks with my uncle and Mr. Gu in the evening, and now ......"

"Hahaha, brother, brother wait for me!"

Qian Yuan turned around and pulled his little sister out of the door a few steps, and the laughter like a silver bell came, and the Lu family, who was very strict with his little sister, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

Qian Yuan is not the only one who is in the service, the biggest impact is actually Xiaomei, she has been staying at home for more than two years, not applying powder, not wearing jewelry, not going out, and she has long been suffocated.

Most of the places in Huizhou are very poor, but the government is located in different counties, there are many literati and ink writers, even the business is not backward, the flow of people in the bazaar, in addition to ordinary trading, all kinds of mountain goods, game, tea everything.

"Brother, this mask looks good."

"Buy!"

"Sugar gourds look delicious......"

"Buy, buy!"

"Brother, little rabbit!"

"Buy...... It's so small, it's meatless! ”

The little sister glared, picked up the two gray rabbits, and seemed to be ready to take them back to raise.

swept all the way through the market, and the arms of Yang Wen and the others who followed behind were full, but the brothers and sisters were still interested.

There are many famous things in Huizhou Mansion, but the most famous is "Sheyan Huimo".

She inkstone as early as the Tang and Song dynasties was famous all over the world, but after all, it was only one of the four major inkstones in the world, and Hui ink was different, since Xi's ink, the paper fell like lacquer, the color was black and luster, and it did not fade for a long time, and Hui Mo became the world's famous ink, and it was incomparable.

Up to now, Huizhou Mansion has become the only centralized ink industry center in the country, and it is almost "everyone's family is customary".

Literati and ink writers who travel to Huizhou can put it down, but they will definitely buy some Hui ink to go back, write and paint can be used, give people face, and even fine Hui ink can be used as a collection to be value-added.

"That's it." Qian Yuan saw that the store was clean, and looked at the shelves inside with a dazzling array of emblem ink, he himself was not lacking, but he wanted to buy more and give it away, Shaoxing Sun family, Huating Lu family, He family, etc.

Before I could enter the door, there was a commotion inside.

"One hundred and fifty taels of silver and a snail, you are from Liangshan, shopkeeper!"

"Don't worry, guest officer, this kind of fine ink, ask for at least two hundred taels of silver in another one."

"The store is looking at me for the first time in Huizhou, and I will slaughter it when I pick up a knife!"

"Love to buy it or not, you tried it just now, good things are worth the price!"

There was a slight pause in the noise, and the shopkeeper's shrill voice rang out, "A painting is worth one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and you have lost your mind!" ”

"And it's also my pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, let's go!"

The guest obviously felt insulted, and blurted out a series of foul words that Qian Yuan was familiar with.

Shi Shiran entered the store, Qian Yuan was not surprised to see the store at a loss, although he knew that the guest was scolding, but he really didn't understand what he was scolding.

"One hundred and fifty taels of silver, it's not expensive, and it's worth bargaining?" Qian Yuan sneered: "Shopkeeper, wrap it up for me." ”

"Hey, okay!"

The store is overjoyed, no wonder there are magpies screaming at themselves this morning, two sheep came to the store in the morning, the sheep in front is a little thin, but the sheep in the back is fat.

"Qian Zhancai!" Xu Wei, who hadn't seen him for a few months and gained weight again, raised his eyebrows, "Qian Zhancai, you are too unsophisticated!" ”

"Oh, Brother Wen, long time no see." Qian Yuan pointed to the store, "This is to relieve you of the siege." ”

Xu Weiden was so angry that he saw a piece of fine ink and made up his mind to buy it, although he had no money, but he had a calligraphy and painting in his hand for more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver, but before he could introduce himself, Qian Yuan stabbed out obliquely.

Opening the box and looking at it, Qian Yuan carefully looked at the piece of emblem ink, it didn't look special.

"This is the secret technique of Luo's famous ink-making master in this county, making ink with tung oil smoke, hard as stone, like a rhino, black as lacquer." The shopkeeper diligently introduced: "Now the Luo family no longer makes a living from making ink, and Luo Mo uses one piece less than one." ”

"How many more?"

"We still have three more pieces in our store." The shopkeeper's excited cheeks were shaking, "Take five hundred taels of silver and four pieces together!" ”

Qian Yuan glanced at Xu Wei, "I was going to give you a piece, but I guess you don't want to ......."

"Who said no!" Xu Wei snatched the box, "Luo Wenlong is not a good bird, but ink is good ink!" ”

Qian Yuan knew about Luo Wenlong in his previous life, and there are few relevant records in history, but it is said that this person played a role in the southeast anti-Japanese war, and was later killed together with Yan Shifan.

Qian Yuan first heard this name from He Liangjun in this life, and later inquired several times to know that Luo Wenlong was very famous in the ink industry and had long been famous in the southeast.

And because of the superb calligraphy in the Shilin fame is not small, a few years ago into Beijing as a scholar of the Chinese Academy, at the beginning of this year to enter the Hu Zongxian shogunate, there is no doubt that this is Yan Song or Yan Shifan stuffed over.

"I thought you'd hold your neck up."

"Why?"

"Didn't you scold Yan Fenyi on the street last year?"

"Use this piece of ink to write a scolding essay, that's appropriate!"

"Okay, good, it's still this temperament." Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Why did you suddenly come to Huizhou?" ”

"It's not that bothered by that guy yet." Xu Wei's mouth crooked, "The prefect of Hangzhou is not qualified, is the governor of Zhejiang qualified?" ”

Qian Yuan couldn't help laughing, as soon as Hu Zongxian was promoted to governor of Zhejiang, he immediately went to Shaoxing in person to try to summon Xu Wei into the scene, but what kind of character was Xu Qingteng, where was he willing to agree, he was annoyed for a few months and simply went out to travel, Jiaxing, Songjiang, Huzhou, Yangzhou turned around and came to Huizhou Mansion.

The shopkeeper on the side was still waiting for the cashier, and when he heard this, he was restless, and the governor of Hangzhou and Zhejiang ...... Could it be that he is a friend of Lord Jixi Hu?

"Let's go, go back to me, it's just so that today I'll take off my clothes and have a good drink!"

Qian Yuan pulled Xu Wei out of the door, beckoned Yang Wen, and said to the shopkeeper Nunu in the back, "Market price." ”

Yang Wen didn't come forward in person, and turned around to summon a government official who followed him, and the latter walked in with a pace that his six relatives did not recognize, and the shopkeeper's face turned pale when he arrived, thinking that it was a crow that was yelling at him this morning?
