Chapter 18 The word is worth three cents
"Zhang, Zhang, Zhang, King Zhang!"
Zhang Xiaojing took Yu Zhiqian into a store with words on it, and when the shopkeeper saw Zhang Xiaojing, he immediately opened his mouth wide and stammered out Zhang Xiaojing's nickname.
"Okay, don't look for trouble today, you don't accept calligraphy and paintings, bring friends to sell things today!" After Zhang Xiaojing finished speaking, he sat directly on a chair.
The shopkeeper immediately ran out from behind the counter and stood in front of Zhang Xiaojing: "That Zhang Ye, this chair can't be made, you and your friends go inside to do it, Xiao Lu, give Zhang Ye and Zhang Ye friends a good tea!" ”
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the inner hall with Zhang Xiaojing in his hand, and Yu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Xiaojing curiously: "You are so famous in Chang'an City?" ”
Zhang Xiaojing smiled: "These shops seem to be selling calligraphy, painting and antiques, but there are often some black goods, and they often have to come over to investigate cases. ”
Yu Zhiqian quietly gave Zhang Xiaojing a thumbs up, it is really not easy for this goods to be mixed in Chang'an City, there must be major shareholders behind this kind of store, Zhang Xiaojing dares to smash it, it can be seen that he has guts.
"I don't know what calligraphy and painting Zhang Ye's friend is going to make? Which period, which celebrity! ”
Entering the inner hall, the layout is much more atmospheric, and there are some famous calligraphy and paintings hanging around, and a little two will quit immediately after serving tea, which is a bit like a teahouse for later generations to talk about.
"Look at how much these two words are worth!"
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he handed over his two words, and the boss carefully took them, opened the outer roll, and pulled out one of the words.
"Suck!" When the boss opened the first word and saw the content on it, he took a deep breath, what does the font on it say? Basically, anyone who has read the book can write it, secretly glanced at Zhang Xiaojing, and muttered in his heart: "This King Zhang Yan is not here to smash the field!" ”
However, when he opened the whole scroll, when he saw the final payment, his hands couldn't help shaking, and he secretly looked at Yu Zhiqian, who was drinking tea, hung up the words, and then bowed to Yu Zhiqian: "I don't know how much this son is going to sell this piece of calligraphy?" ”
Yu Zhiqian took a sip of tea, almost didn't squirt out, what is this special tea? But seeing that Zhang Xiaojing was sucking in gracefully, he could only endure all kinds of miscellaneous flavors rolling in his mouth, and finally swallowed it, and slowed down for a while before he spoke: "How much can you come out!" ”
"Childe, wait a minute, I need to take a look at this picture too!"
After finishing speaking, he opened the second pair of words brought by Yu Zhiqian, and the corner of the shopkeeper's eyes twitched slightly, sure enough, it was the same, and the whole piece of writing would not be able to sell at all if it was not for the last big seal.
After the two characters were hung up, the boss pondered for a while: "These two small characters are not sure how much they can sell, but if the son is willing to sell, the small one is willing to buy five hundred taels of one word, what does the son think?" ”
"So cheap?"
Zhang Xiaojing glanced at the boss and pointed to a piece of writing hanging outside: "I remember that pair of words, it was written by a foreign man of the previous dynasty, you sell it for three thousand taels, why is the prince's word worth five hundred taels!" ”
When the shopkeeper heard Zhang Xiaojing's words, a little sweat broke out on his forehead: "That, that painting is the work of Zhang Yuanwai in the previous dynasty, and Zhang Yuanwai's words can be said to be difficult to find in Shilin, so the price has been high!" ”
At the same time, the shopkeeper shouted wildly in his heart: "This is the prince's word, but it's too ugly, this kind of word is not only wanted by people who want to have a relationship with the prince, who wants to buy it, five hundred taels is already very high!" ”
Zhang Xiaojing couldn't hear the words in the shopkeeper's heart, but took a sip of tea and said lightly: "What do you mean is the word of the prince, not as good as the word of Zhang Yuanwai?" ”
"The small one doesn't dare, it's just this word, the small one can really only offer this price, if you are not satisfied with the price, you will go to another place to see?"
Zhang Xiaojing wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yu Zhiqian: "That boss, not the shopkeeper, don't get excited, I'll ask you, if there is no seal, how much can this character be worth?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "The little one doesn't dare to comment on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince privately, this is to be punished!" ”
"Don't worry, God knows here, you know and I know, we don't say, you don't say, no one knows!"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper looked around and bit it: "Since this is the case, then I will be brave, the word His Royal Highness the Prince, how to say it, it should be the work of the prince when he was young, you see that the pen is soft here, and there is a ...... The general Xiucai characters are better than His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is no big seal for this word, I will take back the most three pennies, and the sanwen money is still on the best rice paper! ”
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, even Yu Zhiqian, a guy whose face was thicker than the city wall, couldn't help blushing, he didn't expect his words to be so unbearable, Zhang Xiaojing next to him almost laughed, but he couldn't help but laugh.
"Ahem, cough, that's okay, since that's the case, it's not difficult for us to be the shopkeeper for you, we won't sell these words, Zhang Xiaojing, let's go!"
"Yes, Childe!"
After finishing speaking, he glared at the boss: "What are you doing in a daze, put the words away!" ”
In the alley outside the store.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiaojing was leaning against the wall and laughing loudly, and Yu Zhiqian was also a little helpless next to him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I, I, I, usually, I don't usually laugh much, really, really, I can't help it, hahahaha!" Zhang Xiaojing laughed for about five minutes, and finally stopped.
"Your Highness, the grass people didn't hold back just now!"
Yu Zhiqian waved his hand: "It's okay, I think it's funny!" ”
After all, he didn't write it himself, Yu Zhiqian didn't feel much of it, and waved his hand helplessly: "Let's go, go back and think of a new way, these words can't be taken out and embarrassed!" ”
Along the way, Yu Zhiqian was thinking, first of all, he would definitely not be able to write, the reason is very simple, because Yu Zhiqian's own handwriting is also very ugly.
"Your Highness, do you want to find someone who writes well, write, and then you will stamp it?"
Zhang Xiaojing can be regarded as having figured out Yu Zhiqian's temper, Yu Zhiqian is not the kind of stingy person, some innocuous jokes, Yu Zhiqian will not be angry, so his head has also begun to be active, and all kinds of bad ideas keep popping up.
Hearing Zhang Xiaojing's prompt, Yu Zhiqian's eyes couldn't help but light up: "This idea is good, but whose words are better?" ”
At this time, Yu Zhiqian and Zhang Xiaojing suddenly had a name in their minds: "Lu Fengxian!" ”
"Let's go, find him!"
Now that the sun is already in the west, you have to hurry up if you want to make money, otherwise, you may not be able to catch up, Yu Zhiqian needs to get the money before the evening, otherwise the entire East Palace will be hungry tomorrow.
Lu Bu was now lying comfortably in a room in the side hall, gently stroking the futon on the bed with his hand, and taking a deep breath: "It's so comfortable!" ”
Now Lu Bu is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, everything is novel, fortunately there is no circle of friends in modern times, otherwise, maybe Lu Bu has already started to post the circle of friends.
"Fengxian, what are you doing!"
When Yu Zhiqian and Zhang Xiaojing pushed the door and walked in, they saw Lu Bu rolling on the bed with the quilt.
"Ah, His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm here, I'm here, I'm trying to see if this quilt is comfortable!"
"Okay, it's definitely uncomfortable, this kind of broken quilt is not as comfortable as a quilt, by the way, can you write?"
Lu Bu immediately got up and tidied up his clothes: "Of course, His Royal Highness the Prince, I am a scholar!" ”
"Knowing that you are a reader, I said that your handwriting is not good-looking!"
"Huh!"
Lu Bu thought about it, and his teacher's evaluation of his words seemed to be quite good, and he had confidence in his heart: "My master praised me for having everyone's demeanor!" ”
"That's fine, let's go, go to my study, and write Braille!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Bu to figure out the situation, he pulled Lu Bu into his study, spread out a piece of fine rice paper, took out a pen and ink and pointed: "Write!" ”
"Huh? Your Highness, what to write? ”
Lu Bu is now shining with golden light in his eyes, this is high-grade rice paper, there is a saying that a piece of paper is one or two gold, and this brush, high-quality goods, and this ink, Lu Bu feels a little dizzy, one day, he can actually write for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in such a place?
"Write whatever?"
"Write whatever?"
Lu Bu thought about it, took a deep breath, held his breath, and began to wave the brush, while Yu Zhiqian looked intently at what the words of the so-called people who read with the style of everyone looked like.
"Zhang Xiaojing, can you understand?"
Zhang Xiaojing gritted his teeth and frowned: "This, His Royal Highness the Prince, you know that I haven't read any books, and being a bad handsome also relies on military merits, to be honest, I don't know these words, maybe they are rare words!" ”
"Really? Then why don't I know either! Yu Zhiqian stared at it for a long time, but he didn't recognize a word, is it because the cultural level of his previous body owner was too low? It shouldn't be.
After a few minutes, Lu Bu finally stopped, and Yu Zhiqian and Zhang Xiaojing looked at each other: "Lu Bu, what did you write?" ”
"Ah, I don't know!"
"You don't know?"
"That's right, Your Highness asked me to write casually, I wrote casually, these are things that I wrote with feelings, but after I finished writing, I forgot what I wrote!"
"Are you a goldfish? Seven seconds of memory! Rewrite it for me, write it seriously! "Yu Zhiqian almost jumped up and beat this guy, you forgot the words written on your mother's front foot, and I forgot the back foot?
"What to write!" Lu Bu opened his mouth to ask again, this time Yu Zhiqian didn't dare to say that he could write casually, otherwise the ghost knows what this guy could write!
"I said, you write! By the way, write it carefully for me, the kind that everyone knows when it is written, do you hear it, if I don't know a word, I will cut off your head! ”
"Yes!"
Lu Bu was so intimidated by Yu Zhiqian, and nodded like garlic.
"Zhang Xiaojing, what kind of words are generally more valuable, I mean, write a sentence or a poem?"
"Poetry, I heard about Li Taibai's manuscript before, and someone bid four thousand taels of silver for a piece of paper!"
"Okay, then we'll write poetry!"
Yu Zhiqian is ready to recite poems, as a traverser, can he not recite poems, does he still have the face to say that he is a traverser?
But when Yu Zhiqian was about to speak, he didn't know how to speak for a while, as if he knew too much, and he didn't know what to recite for a while!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you write?"
"Don't worry, I'll think about it!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian began to quickly go through the memories in his mind, wanting to find out all the poems he had learned in elementary school, junior high school, and high school, and then pick out a similar one.
But people are creatures, memory has always been very magical, when you need to memorize something, your memory will suddenly decline, you can't remember at all, when you don't need it, he will jump out of his mind from time to time.
"Your Highness?" After a few more minutes, Zhang Xiaojing also asked.
"Don't worry, good poetry needs to be brewed, I want to do it!"
Yu Zhiqian thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of the right one, and when he saw Zhang Xiaojing, he suddenly thought of a poem in the twelve hours of Chang'an, his eyes lit up, and he coughed and said: "Listen, the jasper is combed into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down." I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors! ”
"How?"
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise his wit, but it seems that the author of this poem is from the Tang Dynasty, but now Yu Zhiqian can't care so much, he only needs words, and it doesn't matter who wrote it.
"Good!"
After Lu Bu finished writing, he also shouted hello, and then put down the brush.
Yu Zhiqian and Zhang Xiaojing leaned over to take a look, and then their faces immediately turned the color of pig liver.
"Your Highness, I think this Lu Bu is also a talent, but this is a bit off!"
Yu Zhiqian nodded: "I think so, I am a little skeptical now, whether the fraud in the imperial examination is true or not, damn it, are you sent by God to torture me!" ”
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he grabbed Lu Bu's collar and yelled.
"Your Highness is angry, Your Highness is angry!"
Lu Bu begged bitterly there, and Yu Zhiqian waved his hand: "Okay, okay, rewrite!" ”
After finishing speaking, he crumpled up what Lu Bu had written before and threw it out, this damn guy, he memorized poems and asked him to write them, this thing was indeed written, but Yu Zhiqian said casually before: "Listen!" This product has also been added!
So the content on the paper is, listen up, the jasper is combed into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down! Another piece of rice paper was wasted.
"This time, only write the poems I said, do you hear me? Write one more word, I'll cut off one of your arms, two words and two arms, do you hear it! ”
"Yes!"
Lu Bu also knew that he had done something wrong, and immediately nodded in fear.
"Okay, let's start writing!"
"Your Highness, can you recite the poem again!"
"Damn, you still want to be admitted to the Jinshi like this, and I think you have a better future than being a Jinshi when you go to be a military general!"
