The Cheng family's mansion was 20,000 taels of silver, and Wang Yue felt that it was a little expensive.

Yan Chengjin is not as honest as he seems on weekdays, if he follows his way, he will have to help him count the money if he is sold.

Wang Yue secretly reminded himself that he must not fall into his way.

On this day, Wang Yue came to Yanfu again.

Yan Fu was sharpening his knife, and his subordinates grabbed the ram that had been running for seven days and pulled it out of the sheepfold.

Wang Yue's eyes lit up: "This is to slaughter sheep?" ”

Yan Chengjin nodded: "The Cheng family's mansion was sold at a low price, and a small amount of silver was harvested, and everyone contributed to it, so naturally they had to be rewarded." ”

Wang Yue said: "The old man has been in the border for many years, and has eaten a lot of Tatar cattle and sheep, and he is well versed in the practice of this sheep, and it is delicious and the most nourishing to be roasted...... Yes, yes, that's the position, but you can't waste it, you go away and let the old man come. ”

Feeling that the heavens were violent, Wang Yue personally took the action.

First, the mutton was cleaned, coated with spices, and roasted in the new courtyard, and the meat was fragrant for ten miles.

"The lamb of the virtuous nephew's family is delicious!" Wang Yue's mouth was shining with oil.

Yan Chengjin gnawed on a whole leg of mutton: "Of course, the student's family is a running sheep." ”

Wang Yue nodded thoughtfully, remembered the matter, rubbed his hands and said: "The old man is here to ask the virtuous nephew for the insights he gained in his dreams, and the virtuous nephew has to talk about it." ”

He was vigilant in his heart, he must not fall into Yan Chengjin's way, and he must get something for everything.

Yan Chengjin had already been ready, speaking of which, it was really difficult for him, in order to tailor a masterpiece for Wang Yue, make the prosperous era of Hongzhi more brilliant and colorful, and surpass the Renaissance that was rising in the West at this time, he thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a work.

"Of course, words count, this perception students have already thought about it." As he spoke, he pulled out a thick stack of manuscripts from his bosom.

Wang Yue was surprised: "This is?" ”

Yan Chengjin said: "Lord Wang may not know that my father's previous name was Jingshi, and Master Cheng's name was restless, all of which were caused by some manuscripts of the student's dreams, which were the students' latest impressions. ”

Wang Yue's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that the manuscript in his hand was much heavier.

On the cover page of the manuscript, there are a few big words, "War and Peace", which must be the title of the book, right?

Yan Chengjin said: "Lord Wang has experienced three dynasties, personally experienced the turmoil of the previous dynasty, experienced the cruelty and ruthlessness of the battlefield, and now has experienced the peace of the prosperous era of Hongzhi, I must have a lot of feelings, with the perception and pen power of adults, it should not be difficult for adults." ”

This "War and Taiping", of course, is also a low-profile version of the Ming Dynasty version.

Wang Yue's attainments in literature are extremely high, and he is a genius, but he is overshadowed by his military exploits, so the world only knows his marching and fighting, but rarely knows his talent in the literary world.

His pen power should not lose to Cheng Minzheng.

Thinking about it carefully, Yan Chengjin really couldn't think of a more suitable person than him.

Wang Yue was a little incredulous: "The old man's reputation is already beyond the gods, just relying on this pile of manuscripts, the old man can wash away his reputation, you won't pit the old man, right?" ”

Yan Chengjin saw that he didn't believe it, so he said a few more words: "Not only can you wash your reputation, but you can also be famous in the capital, but Lord Wang's reputation is too stinky, and with all due respect, this pile of manuscripts alone can't wash away Lord Wang's reputation, so Lord Wang has to be like his father and give a pen name first." ”

Wang Yue was puzzled: "But how do you know that the pen name is an old man?" ”

Yan Chengjin knew that novices had just entered this industry, and they all had such doubts: "Do adults know Qingshanjun?" ”

Wang Yue naturally knew that he had sent someone to check the famous person in the capital recently, but he couldn't find the person behind it for the time being.

Yan Chengjin said indifferently: "Qingshan-kun is Mr. Cheng Minzheng." ”

"Good! It turned out to be his dog, also known as the Jingshi! Wang Yue slapped his thigh.

"The manuscript has been handed over to Lord Wang, the student has not broken his promise, whether it can be completed or not is his own business." Who cares about after-sales.

"However, the student reminds the adults that making a name for themselves is also like marching to war, before going out to fight, you need to set up troops before going out, and you must not be reckless, this pen name is the first step, after this book is published, students also have to contribute, eighty-two points, students only need two percent, I don't know if Lord Wang is willing?"

Wang Yue couldn't guess that Qingshanjun was Cheng Minzheng, and he still hadn't come back to his senses at the moment.

A few days ago, he was ruined, and now he is also known as the Beijing Master, how can this reputation be like Chinese cabbage......

But the facts are in front of you, and people are famous again.

At this time, Wang Yue had a feeling of being a hundred steps behind others, where was he still in the mood to talk about sharing, and he couldn't wait to write it out as soon as possible.

"The old man has never seen any treasures, how can he care about a few taels of silver, if he is really as famous in the capital as Cheng Minzheng, the old man will not only take a penny, but also thank the virtuous nephew!"

"Don't stand in the way of the old man, the old man is leaving." Wang Yue hurriedly walked away with the manuscript, and everyone in the world scolded Wang Shichang for being a minister, he really couldn't imagine that the day when he was praised by the world, he couldn't wait at this moment.

A few days passed, and Wang Yue did not come to disturb him again.

After staying in the house for more than ten days, the house manager is going back to the border of Ningxia.

Life in the border was hard, Yan Chengjin asked him to buy some fine rice and white flour, and caught ten three-month-old running chickens and sent them back to Ningxia to make up for the cheap dad.

Seeing the house steward go away, the day of the palace examination is also approaching, the palace examination is the Hongzhi Emperor's question, the arbitrariness is very large, there is very little information about the palace examination, I don't know what the Hongzhi Emperor will be difficult to issue.

Back in the study, ready to find out all the palace exams in previous years, and comprehend it more thoroughly, Chunxiao brought in a plate of snacks,

Yan Chengjin remembered that he had never asked the kitchen to do it: "Did the kitchen make it?" ”

"Back to the young master, it was sent by the Li Mansion." Chunxiao placed it next to the bookcase and poured another cup of tea.

Li Dongyang has a different heart, obviously he dislikes him very much, but he always sends someone to send snacks, he just sends him a mouth, so he remembers his kindness, he is really a conscientious person.

Only seven days later, Wang Yue personally sent the first volume of the book.

These people are really faster than one by one, Yan Chengjin doesn't know how they can do it in this era when there are no keyboards and no tentacle monsters.

The pile sent by Wang Yue surprised him a lot: "I didn't expect Lord Wang to be so fast, his body is really tough, stronger than my father and Mr. Cheng Minzheng!" ”

Wang Yue snorted lightly: "The soldiers are fast!" The old man is on the side, wearing dozens of pounds of armor all the year round, and he can still go into battle to kill the enemy, which is comparable to those weak scholars. ”

Indeed, Wang Yue looks more than a decade younger than his age.

Speaking of which, he neither died of illness nor old age, but was scared to death by himself, if there is no accident, it is estimated that he is also a ruthless person of Shoubi Wang Shu.

Yan Chengjin took a look, the low-profile version of "War and Taiping" Daming has a different flavor.

Wang Yue urged: "Call the bookseller quickly, the old man can't wait." ”

Yan Chengjin glanced at Wang Yue's incognito.

Although he was reminded of the key to choosing a name before, it should be conducive to praise and catchy.

But...... That's shameless, isn't it?

Wang Yue's old face flushed: "This is the old man's lifelong wish!" ”

Wang Busui hurried to Yan's mansion, but he didn't expect that the person who was going to publish the book this time was actually his own family, he had heard of Wang Yue, and he also looked down on him in his heart, such a notorious person, don't smash the signboard of Lao Wang's bookstore.

"Young Master Yan, Wang Yue is a recognized minister, salted fish can still turn over, publish his book, everyone will not tear down the villain's bookstore!"

"Don't worry, it's a pen name, it's really going to be smashed, let Lord Wang compensate you."

Wang Busui had a sad face, so he had to hold the manuscript and leave in a hurry.
