Chapter 35: The Shameless Man (First Update, Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The days of Wanli were very comfortable.
In addition to reading, he also "cultivated" a small vegetable garden at home, where peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables brought from the supermarket were planted, and the vegetable garden was renovated in his spare time.
Pretty maid, clear spring, a little field.
It's been a very pleasant day, and now Edwin has begun to enjoy this life.
However, comfort is always comfortable, but more is boring, people can't always be at home all day long, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, farming and playing.
It's boring to be idle, but I always go out for a stroll to pass the time. Feel the customs and customs of this era.
As usual, accompanied by Xiao Lian in Nanjing, they arrived at Fuxue, the most common in the Fuxue area is scholars, even if those scholars have not entered the Fuxue, and even failed in the imperial examination, but they still gather here, make friends here, and comment on articles...... In fact, not far from the city gate, the reason why the painting boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River is prosperous is also due to the contribution of these literati.
After all, entertainment activities in this era are limited, in addition to eating in restaurants, the spiritual enjoyment brought by those prostitutes who can sing and dance in the painting boat is probably a rare entertainment in this era. So I don't know how many stories of talented and beautiful women have been staged.
Talented and beautiful, on the Qinhuai River.
Thinking of the stories about the talented and beautiful women in the flower boat on the Qinhuai River in the Ming Dynasty, I imagined the appearance of those beautiful women who "sold their art but not their bodies" and smiled like flowers, and the talented people won their favor with their poems and articles, and entered and exited their red and pink tents.
Shi Yiwen couldn't help but look forward to it.
If I copied some poems or something, maybe I could be a talented person, maybe I could be chic in the flower boat, like Tang Bohu and other big names in the green building, not only sister love, sister happy, but also free!
"Dexing ......"
While laughing at himself like this, Shi Yiwen was writing the style of a scholar in this era, unfolded the fan in his hand with a "bang", and then walked down from the Wende Bridge.
Wende Street sells books and the four treasures of the study, and of course, you can see calligraphy and painting stalls set up by scholars everywhere on the street. Walking on the street, suddenly a scholar who set up a stall on the side of the road caught his attention, the so-called stall is just a table placed in the corner of the wall, there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, obviously, this is a place to write letters, a middle-aged scholar in a student shirt sits there, holding a book in his hand and is looking at it intently.
Even in the 90s, there were still people writing letters on their behalf, let alone in this era. Looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall behind the man, it was obvious that he was not just writing letters, maybe selling calligraphy and paintings. However, it was not these that attracted Shi Yiwen's attention, but the middle-aged scholar looked a little familiar.
Okay!
After a closer look, Shi Yiwen grinned.
This scholar is none other than the "divine calculation" who deceived him of a few taels of silver.
It's really a "narrow road"!
Thinking to himself, Shi Yiwen walked towards the man.
Xu saw that a guest was coming, and the middle-aged scholar who was reading a book looked up at the visitor, and when he saw that he was wearing a student shirt, he lowered his eyes again and spit out two words.
"You may be seated."
Then he continued to read the book without saying a word.
"This benevolent brother ......."
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged scholar over there had already taken out a book and put it on the table.
"Huh? Ink rolls? ”
Looking at the title of the book, this is a sample essay for the imperial examination, a type of ink paper, that is, a representative test paper model officially engraved after the township meeting examination. After the township association trial list was released that year, Lu Mo became the first reading material for many scholars to buy, and it was also the object of imitation by the exam-taking children.
This "ink scroll" can be called the secret of martial arts for the imperial examination!
Of course, this is also a public release, but anyone who reads books, who does not have dozens of books at home, must be an impostor.
But what puzzled Shi Yiwen was, what did he mean by throwing this book to me?
In Shi Yiwen's stunned effort, the scholar spit out two more words.
"No thanks."
Yo, this guy has a character.
Surprised, I only heard the middle-aged scholar say.
"I'll go over there and make it easier."
When the words fell, he was about to leave with the book, and when he heard the words, Shi Yiwen, who was originally a little surprised, suddenly grinned.
"Brother Ren don't worry, you might as well help me calculate a hexagram first!"
When the middle-aged scholar who was about to leave heard this, his face, which seemed to be calm, changed slightly, and he had to wave his hand at Shi Yiwen.
"Let my brother Taijian smile."
Wu Cai, who knew that the other party had recognized him, did not feel embarrassed or nervous, but looked at him calmly.
"At that time, I was penniless, and I was forced to make ends meet, so I had to make this decision, and I ask my brother to forgive me."
"Forgive me......"
Seeing his calm and sage appearance, Shi Yiwen sneered.
"Silver is small and not worth mentioning. On that day, you actually deceived people with that kind of signature, if the deceived person believed your signature, wouldn't it cause a catastrophe! ”
"That's why I exchanged the silver for lead ingots and returned them to him, so that when he came to his senses, he would know that he had been deceived, didn't he? If this is the case, the man is still obsessed with it, and wants to cause chaos in this peaceful and prosperous world...... Hey ......"
With a smile on his face, the middle-aged scholar smiled.
"Isn't that just a mouse licking a cat's nose...... Look for death! ”
Shi Yiwen laughed instead of being angry.
"Hey, so I want to thank you for the reminder."
"Childe, look at what you said, this thank you can't be talked about, but I want to thank you below, if it weren't for your ingot of silver, how could I buy this calligraphy and painting stall in the next, just barely make ends meet, and even think about it, if you win the jinshi in the future, you will definitely find the son, and repay the grace of the child's gift of silver that day!"
Okay!
The deception came to his mouth but turned into a "gift", this guy really has a three-inch tongue. It's rare for a reader to be so shameless, but then again, it seems that only a reader can be so shameless.
"So, you're also a scholar?"
"To tell the truth, don't hide the son, although he is down, but he is also a person of merit, he was admitted to show talent at the age of fourteen, but it is a pity that the luck is not good for thirty years, and no one can learn it when he is full of talent, otherwise, how can he fall to such a point?"
The middle-aged scholar sighed, and in addition to self-pity, Shi Yiwen sneered.
"It's just you, that is, you are a little crooked, if you specialize in studying, how can it be like this, it's just that this silver thing should be regarded as an emergency in the rivers and lakes! From now on, focus on fame. ”
Thinking that this person has not passed the township test for thirty years, and he is really unlucky, Shi Yiwen doesn't want to pursue those taels of silver anymore. But when you come, you don't forget to take revenge on this guy, dare to cheat Lao Tzu's silver, then you can read the dead book with all your heart, and read it to eighty, that is, a show!
Deler, I wish you a long time on the road to the imperial examination!
"Childe, actually, ......"
When the middle-aged scholar heard this, his face flushed with bitterness.
"I don't want to take any more fame tests in the next morning, otherwise, the son will take some capital, run errands and do some business, and when I earn money, how about you and I add two to five?"
The words of the middle-aged scholar made Shi Yiwen's eyes widen, this guy ...... It's a dogskin plaster!
However, it is really rare to see such a thick-skinned person, and Shi Yiwen, who originally wanted to leave, became interested in him.
"Doing business? Don't know what you want to do? ”
