When Qian Junchen moved away, he only brought a few clothes and a bed of broken bedding, and the only books and his articles were all thrown away by Fei Erye. Han Xiufeng picked out a few articles from his township examination and meeting examination that year, and asked Pan Er to help transcribe them.

Pan Er's words are really unsightly, but now I can't take care of so much, because the candidates see that it is an article and not a word, as long as they copy it and take it out, they can sell it for money! It's just that Qian Junchen's article is stinky and long, and both of them copied six copies in the morning.

If you want to make money, you just rely on today and tomorrow, Han Xiufeng didn't dare to delay any longer, so he simply asked Pan Er to take two copies of the transcription to the street to find a down-and-out scholar who helped someone write the family letter, give some money for the family to help with the copying, let the big head be responsible for running errands, and send one copy to the Jiangning Hall with the most candidates after copying, and take Qian Junchen's original traces and the other two copies of the transcription to go over first.

rushed to the Jiangning Hall and shouted at the door, and sure enough, a candidate came out to ask.

"It can't be fake, and it can't be fake! All the masters are experts, look at this word, look at the seal at the cashier, and then look at this article, you will know if this is the true work of Qian Junchen, a member of the Rites Department of the same examiner! ”

"I'll take a look first."

"Don't squeeze it, squeeze something."

Han Xiufeng let them look at it a few times, then carefully folded it and stuffed it into his arms, took out the copy he had just copied in the morning, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a small copy in the morning, and the authenticity of Master Qian must be kept, and you can only buy this one if you want to buy it." ”

An old man asked eagerly: "Little brother, I haven't seen it clearly, take out the real handiwork of Master Qian and let me see it again." ”

"yes, you put it away as soon as you light up, did you do this business?"

"If you read it, are you still willing to spend money to buy it, if you let a few people read it, then you won't be able to do business!" When I came, I passed by an overcrowded bookstore, went in and inquired, and there were no articles by Qian Junchen to sell in the market. Because Qian Junchen was nothing before this, the bookstore shopkeeper would not be stupid enough to publish his articles, Han Xiufeng was a strange goods, and he was not worried about not being able to sell them at all, so he smiled proudly: "A few people want to buy it quickly, only these four copies, how many of you don't buy it, some people are willing to buy it, and if you miss this village, there will be no such store!" ”

The future is more important than anything else, and one person asked eagerly: "Little brother, how much is it?" ”

"This is a manuscript, not an engraving, and I have to count not only the pen and paper but also the wages. And I have it here in the whole capital, and there is no semicolon! 500 wen a piece, no counteroffer! ”

"Five hundred wen a piece, why don't you grab it!"

"You are too expensive, you can not buy it, please go back, don't delay me in trading."

Whether the article is done well or not, whether it can be Chinese, first of all, it must pass the level of the room examiner, and the room examiner thinks it is good and then recommend it to the vice president or even the president, so it is most important to understand the preferences of the room examiner in advance.

What's more, time is urgent, no one knows which examiner's room to take the exam, which means that the president, vice president and more than a dozen examiners outside the province have to read all the articles, one is afraid that he can't read it, so he squeezed in and said: "Five hundred wen is five hundred wen, I want it!" ”

"This old man really has a vision, and I wish you the title of the gold list."

………

One person paid for a second one, and the few copies copied in the morning were sold out in a blink of an eye.

Han Xiufeng knew that they would pass it on to each other, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to sell it if he stayed here any longer, so when the big head sent the article that Pan Er had found someone to copy, he would go to the Yangzhou Hall on Guang'anmen Inner Street, and the price would start at 800 wen a piece!

Xuzhou Hall, Jiangyin Hall, Wuyang Hall, Xikkim Hall, Zhejiang Hall, Shaoxing Hall, Haining Hall, Zheci Hall, Huguang Hall...... The three of them were very busy, and they were busy until midnight before returning to their own hall exhausted.

Seeing that the lights were on in Second Master Fei's room, and he was probably also hurrying to read the articles of the president, vice president and fellow examiners of the undergraduate examination, Han Xiufeng knocked on the door and asked cautiously: "Second Master, what are you doing with lunch and supper?" ”

Second Master Fei raised his head and said, "I know that you are busy making money and let Junjie's cousin do it." If you are hungry, I asked him to leave food for you, and put it on the edge of the stove, and I don't know if the stove is extinguished, so I hurry up and see if it is cold, and when it is cold, I will warm it up and eat it. ”

"Okay, you should rest early."

"Yes, I'll look at it for a while."

Han Xiufeng didn't dare to disturb Second Master Fei's hard work, so he took the door to the hall, and the big head had already brought the meal to the table, and asked with a smile while beckoning him to eat: "Fourth brother, how much money did you make today?" ”

"I sold more than 20 taels here, Brother Pan, how much did you spend on that side?"

"All I gave was copper coins, and the silver should be less than four taels." Pan Er picked up the chopsticks, thought about it and couldn't help but smile and said: "Fourth brother, when I came back, I told those down-and-out scholars that I would let them copy it overnight, and if they copied as much as they copied, they would count the money with them when they went to pick it up early in the morning." ”

"Ming'er will go and get it in the morning, don't dream, I bet that Ming'er can find them in the morning."

"Fourth brother, do you mean that they will sell the copied overnight?"

"You don't want to think about it, if they have money, they won't make it?" Han Xiufeng smiled, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and said, "They didn't dare to sell them today, because you were there and watching." Now that you're back, they can sell whatever they want, as long as they can copy it. ”

Pan Er couldn't regret it, and said with a bitter face: "Oh, why didn't I think of this stubble!" Fourth brother, why don't you let the big head remind me earlier, remind me and I'll take back all the copies we copied in the morning and what they helped copy, and I don't have the bottom to see what they copied! ”

Han Xiufeng looked at him with a smile and asked, "If you take it all back, what do you let them copy overnight?" What are you going to pick up early tomorrow morning? ”

Pan Er reacted and muttered, "I knew that I shouldn't have come back in this way, go back with them, and stare at them!" ”

Han Xiufeng said with a smile: "Forget it, it's already very good to earn twenty taels." ”

The big head also felt a pity, and actually muttered: "Fourth brother, how can it be calculated, why don't you make such a good money, we haven't gone to the provincial hall yet!" ”

"What are you doing in the provincial embassy?"

"Go sell the money lord's article!"

"Master Qian's articles are sold to ghosts in the provincial hall, and the province avoids knowing no, his articles can be sold at a good price in other halls, and it is worthless to take our provincial hall!"

"What do you mean by provincial avoidance?" The big head asked stupidly.

He has more questions than anyone else now, and he can't sleep without asking clearly, so Han Xiufeng had to explain: "Master Qian can only be the examiner of the house for the masters of other provinces, and cannot be the examiner for the candidates in Sichuan." Therefore, our candidates in Sichuan, including the second master, will not read Mr. Qian's articles, because it is useless to read them. Since you can't look at it, you won't spend money to buy it, you say yes. ”
