Chapter 334: Handwriting for Sale in the Servant Market

Living at home, Luo Yan seems to be busier and busier every day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

I didn't get up in the morning, cleaned my hands and burned incense, and recited a few "Analects" in front of Lu Deming's spiritual seat. After lunch, I picked up the poetry book and read it quietly. The same thing is repeated at noon and unitary time, and it has become a habit that Luo Yanlei cannot move.

If I have some spare time, of course, I will write some reading experiences, or take out Lu Fuzi's books and copy them a few times. As for movable type printing, Luo Yan handed it over to the most trusted Feng Chang's family. Everything that can be said, Luo Yan wrote it on paper, and the craftsmen only need to follow the operation. Throwing off the shopkeeper is always what Luo Yan is best at.

However, always inadvertently, people who originally wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle are more likely to fall into the center of the storm.

During the Spring Festival of the sixth year of Zhenguan, perhaps the people of Chang'an paid the most attention to the emperor's celebration of the whole world, and the officials issued a pound of meat to each family. But in Shilin, it is a different kind of scenery.

Later generations Su Dongpo said: "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo." "But if there is a good article, I am afraid that I can't change it for a bamboo forest.

This is the case in Chang'an Shilin, from the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone has been discussing an article.

What exactly the name of the article is, no one can say. But considering the current situation of its author, everyone invariably calls it "Self-Reflection". can be called "record", thinking that it must be several articles, word by word.

Here's the weirdness.

It's true, but if you want to say that there are several articles, it's really fake.

Because there is only one article in this "Self-Examination Record". The reason why everyone wants to call it "record" is because the article is so novel that after reading it, I can't put it down, and I still can't put it down after reading it two or three times. In this way, it is like reading a thick book.

There is a more important reason, that is, Shilin is looking forward to the emergence of a few more articles like this. Then, it adds up to a lot, and soon it finally becomes a record?

To get back to the point, what is sung in Shilin is an article written by Luo Yan during his seclusion.

It's a wonderful thing.

Every literati is very fond of their own works. If you are satisfied with it, you will frame it, whether it is a treasure, a copy of it, or a gift to others, it is a very face-saving thing.

Giving articles to each other is also an indispensable etiquette in Shilin.

But Luo Yan is an alternative. The attendant Lu Deming has been in charge for many years, and he has never seen anyone else get a manuscript from him. And in his family, he only copied the articles of the sages of the past dynasties, but did not see his own works.

If it weren't for a few sentences coming out from time to time, I'm afraid that Shilin would have disapproved of Luo Yan's existence a long time ago.

After the New Year, every family has to clean the house, although Luo Yan's family has set up Lu Deming's tablet, but this matter still has to be done.

Packed up to Luo Yan's study, the servants saw that Luo Yan was inside, and asked for instructions, and went in this time.

In the study, if you want to talk about cleaning, it is nothing more than to clean up some dust, and then take out all those waste papers and so on and burn them. Luo Yan, who was preoccupied with books, didn't notice that the "Self-Enlightenment" he wrote last night happened to inadvertently fall into the wastepaper basket.

Luo Yan's words are a good thing.

Although it has been hyped up over the years, it is really more difficult to get his handwriting than to get his articles. After all, the article can be copied, how can this handwriting be reproduced?

The servant carrying the basket of waste paper suddenly became angry.

The reputation of their own Lang Jun outside, they are very clear. On weekdays, he also thought that he could get Luo Yan's handwriting, and then sell it for a big price. But usually, Luo Yan's study doesn't let anyone in at all.

Now that I have seized the opportunity, where will I miss it.

When they got to the place where the waste paper was burned, the guy rolled the manuscript and put it in his room, and then burned the waste paper, and then returned to the study as if nothing had happened.

After a busy day, what the next day was to be done in the house, it was all miscellaneous and trivial things, and the servant took advantage of his leisure time to carry Luo Yan's manuscript to the East Market.

As mentioned earlier, the neighborhoods around the East Market are all residences of high-ranking officials and nobles, so most of the things sold are rare treasures. This guy just saw Luo Yan's handwriting and strange goods, and most of the people in Dongshi knew the goods, and the things in his hands would not be dusty.

wandered aimlessly until he came to a calligraphy and painting stall.

At this time, it is the hot season for many large families to collect calligraphy and paintings. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and if you can collect a pair of famous calligraphy and paintings, then a New Year will be touted. At the calligraphy and painting stall, there were many people watching, but inside they were scrambling for a copy of the Diamond Sutra of the initiation monk.

The initiating monk was a high-ranking monk of the Tiantai sect, and the famous "Lotus Sutras" was recorded by his own hand. From the time he received full ordination at the age of 20 to the present fifty-one years, several other famous scriptures have been recorded.

If Luo Yan admired the monks of Shaman, the initiating monk was definitely one of them.

At this time, the two sides of the competition seem to have people who believe in Buddhism in their families, so much so that a "Diamond Sutra" was actually fried to 300 times.

The more this happened, the more pleased the servant became.

The handwriting of the initiating monks is not very common, but it is not rare. Many dignitaries have some in their homes. This guy is a native of Chang'an, and he remembers that a few years ago, the empowered monk was invited to the capital and wrote a lot of things.

And Luo Yan's handwriting, hehe, is really unique on the market.

Seeing that the "Diamond Sutra" was finally sold at a price of 325 yuan, the person who finally won was happy, and the person who lost the competition was crying, and the servant knew that the opportunity had come. The competition has attracted a lot of attention before, and it is just right to go in at this time.

"Don't go, I have a handwriting of Cheng Guogong here." Hurriedly crowded into the crowd that was about to turn away, the servants shouted loudly, and squeezed as far as they could in front of the calligraphy and painting shop.

"What, Cheng Guogong's handwriting? Really? "Not to mention, just by virtue of Luo Yan's name, he immediately attracted all the people who were going to leave, and even the pedestrians on the road came to watch.

The servant had already squeezed into the middle of the crowd, and in the enthusiastic smile of the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop, he said to the onlookers: "I am sorry for the inconvenience of telling you the source of the handwriting, but it is absolutely guaranteed that this manuscript is the handwriting of Chengguo, and it is the most recent ink treasure." If there is a Fang family's discerning eye today, just come up and take a look. ”

After speaking, he turned towards the shopkeeper's Nunu mouth, and spread out the "Self-Understanding" on the table.

Luo Yan has shown his skills twice in Dongshi, so he is not afraid that no one will not know the goods. Although there is no Luo Yan's seal on the paper as a basis, it is precisely like this, but it can make people feel that it is true. Because everyone has seen Luo Yan's words, but where will the seal flow into the world.

The shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop was the first to come and appraise it.

has been in operation in Dongshi for so many years, although he didn't see it when Luo Yan wrote the Baishou Picture for the first time, but the last time he stood up for Princess Changle, he looked at it in front of the largest calligraphy and painting shop. Although the style of the book is different, the artistic conception and style are absolutely remembered.

When Luo Yan wrote this character, his mood was very peaceful, so he used his regular script, and the work was up, and the strokes were extremely regulated, as if looking at this character, you could see Luo Yan's image of standing with a straight waist.

After reading a few lines, the shopkeeper was already whispering praise.

"I said, shopkeeper, you have a word?" The onlookers began to urge.

Smiling, the shopkeeper walked up to the person: "In my humble opinion, I'm only afraid that this picture is true." However, in order to ensure that everything is correct, I have to trouble any of you to go to the largest calligraphy and painting shop in the east and recruit his fellows. If you feel that you have some knowledge, you may wish to come and take a look. ”

The largest calligraphy and painting shop in the east is where Luo Yan first met Yan Liben. Although the shopkeeper was kicked out of the capital, the man was still there. And the guys who do this line of work will definitely not have bad eyesight. The shopkeeper was able to think of that guy, and it was also very rewarding.

The guys haven't arrived yet, but there are still people coming forward to watch. This is a middle-aged man who is not luxuriously dressed, but he walks and does things with a somewhat elegant taste. Come to think of it, it's either a staff member who is still seeking fame, or a master who lives in seclusion in the city.

When he stepped forward, he did not look carefully at each word like the shopkeeper, but glanced at a few of them, compared them with each other, and finally got up and said, "Yes, there is no doubt that it is genuine." ”

Seeing this person scribbling a few times, where is the shopkeeper so meticulous, someone suddenly began to coax: "You are a down-and-out scholar, if you don't understand, you don't understand, you want to pretend to be a master." You think you can tell the truth from the fake with a few glances, but if it does, I don't think it's. ”

"Hmph, what do you know, four years ago, my Lantian saw the official notice issued by Cheng Guogong when he was the county order, three years ago I listened to Cheng Guogong's lecture in Jinzhou, and this year in Dr. Lu's house, I have seen Cheng Guogong's manuscript. Such a familiar thing only needs to look at a few unique brushstrokes to know, why bother like others. ”

"Drink, it's actually a great talent who has entered Dr. Lu's mansion, I'm disrespectful. Fang Cai said that he was not inferior, and he did not want to blame. As soon as they heard that it was a scribe who was recruited into Lu Deming's mansion by Luo Yan, the onlookers looked at the middle-aged scribe with different eyes.

There are even a few stewards of noble families, who shouted one after another: "I don't know if Mr. has an envoy now? If there is none, if you don't stay in my Shilang Mansion, my master will definitely treat you well. ”

The scribe would have been overjoyed if he had heard of these solicitations a year ago, but now he ...... I saw him bow his hand to the crowd and said lightly: "Let you bother, now Xiang has been valued by Dr. Kong, and he is a staff member in the Confucian Mansion, and he is unwilling to beg for food elsewhere." ”

Although he spoke in a low voice, the shock caused was no less than that of his identity just revealed. (To be continued.) )
