Chapter 11: Don't buy it
Seeing the comer, Li Su understood why Cheng Chubi and Fang Yiai and those noble children would leave here, because their master's teacher Kong Yingda appeared.
That's an amazing thing.
The great Confucian Kong Yingda, one of the eighteen bachelors of the Tang Dynasty, is now the crown prince and the 31st grandson of Confucius.
Just now, someone said that Li was comparable to Confucius and Meng, and now the 31st grandson of Confucius appeared.
People wonder, what happened to these noble children?
How did they all go? Someone gave money, but the poem didn't take it.
As everyone knows, Kong Yingda, as the crown prince and teacher, is even closer to Li Shimin's existence.
If he finds out that they are buying poems and tells the master directly, then life will not be easy in the future.
As soon as they left, these literati were even happier, and no one competed, so they squeezed in.
"Sir, they're gone, why don't you write for us first!"
"Yes, sir, I want two! Can I get some discounts? ”
……
Those who have no money are staring at the words on the desktop and memorizing them silently, and now is a good opportunity to learn.
People's focus is on Li Su here, but they don't care about Kong Yingda's appearance at all.
Until someone spotted him coming over.
Only then did anyone recognize him.
"Isn't that a university scholar Kong Yingda? How did he come here? ”
"Legend has it that he is the prince and the prince, and if he can be the prince's teacher, he is definitely a master."
"What is he here for? It can't be a poem, right? ”
These literati didn't know that the crown prince Li Chengqian couldn't stand being tossed by him.
Because he likes obedient students.
And Li Chengqian is not.
Whenever there was anything that did not suit him, he would directly go to Li Shimin to complain.
The so-called strict teacher produces a high apprentice, but this is not the case here with Li Chengqian.
In the end, he broke his back, which disappointed Li Shimin.
That's an afterword.
Everyone was amazed at his arrival.
Do academics also like to join in the fun? Want to buy one too?
Or does he have no shelves and like to have fun with the people?
Everyone speculated.
At the same time, he watched him walk towards Li Su.
Everyone got out of the way.
They stopped talking.
After all, he has a special status.
Li Yu also discovered him, and had met with Kong Yingda several times, but that was a year ago, and then he lived in the palace and rarely appeared, so he rarely saw Kong Yingda.
Kong Yingda may not recognize herself.
Now he's grown a little bigger, and he's changed his appearance.
Kong Yingda didn't recognize him.
"Poetry in the world, who else can I be. Five words and seven laws, charge according to the word? ”
"Young man, you are a little frivolous! I dare to say this kind of thing. ”
Obviously, Kong Yingda looked down on what Li Su did.
"Old man, what do I have to do with you when I sell money with words?"
"The literati have always been high, how can they use patina to collect papers? And no matter how much I can be regarded as a bachelor appointed by His Majesty, how can I be so rude! ”
"I do! You don't care! ”
"Hey, hairy boy, you are so snobbish, where will Datang go in the future? Datang has let you all be defeated! ”
Kong Yingda said in a teaching tone.
It's very unpleasant to listen to.
Sure enough, it still encountered resistance from the literati.
"Scholar Confucius, this is a good point, I see that the poems written by Mr. are special, and the artistic conception of the work is far-reaching! Let people reread it ten times with different feelings, and Mr. sells words for money, it is not his intention, if it is a last resort, who will do such a thing? Why not use poetry to support others? ”
"I think that Mr. set an example and set a precedent for us literati, and in the future, no one who is talented will starve to death."
"Yes, Confucius scholar, don't preach, it's easy for no one. You are in such a high position now, do you know that there are still many people who still do not have enough to eat and have no money to spend. ”
"Life has problems, where is the time to dance and write? It's better to farm! ”
……
Kong Yingda was surprised, no matter how she said that she was also a person with a head and a face.
questioned the future life, but was scolded by the common literati.
This made him a little embarrassed.
"Then I'd like to see how you make poetry and sell it for money. I want ten songs! ”
This is clearly meant to cause trouble.
Li Su thought to himself, ten songs? Then use the eight sentences and seven rules, so that the money is more.
So, he said, "Yes, pay five taels of silver first!" ”
Five taels of silver, that is equivalent to five pieces of money.
What poems are so expensive, ten poems cost five taels?
Kong Yingda was puzzled and regretted a little, why didn't he ask the price first.
"Five taels? Why don't you grab it? ”
"Rob? No, no, no, that's a crime, you can ask the people here, is there anything wrong with me charging? ”
Li Su said the problem.
Many literati were on his side.
Someone calculated it and said: "Mr. has given you a cheap price, originally a poem, seven rules and eight sentences cost 560 wen, ten poems at least 5600 wen, which is also less than your 600 wen." ”
"It's not, don't be embarrassed, if it's too expensive, please let it go, we want to buy it!"
"Yes, if it weren't for the sake of you being an old man, you would have to line up well!"
In this way, Kong Yingda is unreasonable.
Public opinion has never been like this, and Kong Yingda has never encountered such a situation.
He was respected everywhere he went, but why is it different here today. Because of this teenager?
The most unbearable thing is that Li Su said again: "It's okay, if you can't afford it, I won't force it, you let it, let the people behind buy it first." ”
This is simply an insult to Kong Yingda.
He said that if he said that he could not afford it, his later words would inevitably arouse people's contempt.
In Chang'an City, there will even be such a legend.
The prince and the prince had no money to buy poems, but he had to deliberately make things difficult for the fourteen-year-old boy. Smile generously!
"Joke, I'll buy it!"
When he was done, he took out five taels of silver from his bosom and put it on the table.
Li Yu is not polite, go and get it directly.
"Wait!"
Kong Yingda shouted.
"How?"
Is this old man going to be a demon again?
"If you haven't done it yet, you have to collect money and put it into your arms, what is this? Are you afraid that I will regret it? ”
He felt that this was an insult to him, and there was no precedent for collecting money first and then trading!
"You think too much, this is my rule."
"If I'm not satisfied, can I quit?"
What are you kidding, the money is coming, and you still want to return it?
What are you when I am Li Su?
I won't give you a chance to return either.
After all, the poems copied are all masterpieces of the ages.
But he also said: "Make no return!" Because you're going to be satisfied! ”
This is said very much.
Kong Yingda smiled.
"Well, I'd like to see what kind of poetry you can make."
Then, Li Su raised his head and was glanced at by Kong Yingda.
He was shocked.
"Boy, I see your face is very familiar."
Everyone was shocked, there are not many people who can make Kong Yingda familiar.
What kind of being is this person they call Mr. in front of him?
Everyone's eyes were staring at Li Su.
All wanted to know how he responded.
At this time, Li Su spoke.
