Chapter 31 The Deal That Comes to Your Door
Shen Xi thought very thoughtfully.
Even if Chengji County is only a county seat on the northwest border, there is still nightlife.
What's more, Guo Qinzhou is also attached here, and the business travel has led to economic prosperity. Walking on the street, although there are no lights as brilliant as the scorching sun, the song and swallow language along the way are still endless.
Shen Xi quickly found a partner.
It was a young man wandering in front of a green building, dressed in clothes that were not rich, and he thought that he was the most valuable belongings in his body. It doesn't take much thought to know that this is a poor scholar who wants to go and taste it.
"Scholar Wuna, do you want to go in and have fun?"
Shen Xi thief smiled, that look was even more bechanting than the sister standing in front of the door to solicit business.
"What are you going to do?" The scholar shuddered, looked at Shen Xi vigilantly, and his eyes made the man in his forties annoyed.
Shen Xi put away the unhappiness in his heart, and said softly: "Scholar, I know that you are short of money, I have something here, if it is done, I will send you thirty texts, go in and be chic." ”
"But what's the matter, don't you want to deceive me, where did such a good thing come from in the world."
The scholar is not the guy who takes advantage of the bargain after all, although thirty wen is enough for him to go in and play around, but the vigilance he should have has not let go. On the contrary, the eyes of wariness are even stronger.
Actually, it's not a bad thing. I just want you to go to Niu Saddle Fort to find a scholar named Shen Yun and ask him to copy a copy of the Book of Rites. ”
"It's as simple as that?" The scholar was a little suspicious, this person named Shen Yun, who had never heard of it at all, would actually let this person in front of him stir up the crowd, just for a copy of the "Book of Rites"?
In the bookstore in the county, you can buy it for twenty wen, so why spend so much unjust money.
"But you don't know. The words of the Shen family scholar are also unique. I have a girl in my family, and I admired him when I saw him selling words in the market that day. I think that although the portals are different, if they are consensual, it is not a beautiful thing. So ......"
"I know, you want to say, words are like people, you have to borrow the book he copied, and see his character, right? A gentleman is good at the beauty of adults, I did this. The scholar easily made up for it and said excitedly.
Of course, the thirty dollars are the key.
Shen Xi nodded, smiled and took out twenty yuan from his arms: "You will give him these twenty yuan as a reward." As for yours, I will give it to you when you will take it back. ”
I have to say that Shen Xi's scheming is also really good.
Between 20 and 30 texts, how will scholars choose? Don't do anything, just take twenty wen and leave, or listen to Shen Xi's orders, go to Niu'an Fort, and then earn thirty wen?
Many experiments in later generations have proved that people tend to choose the latter.
Because the stakes are much greater than the former.
Shen Xi took advantage of this point and successfully caught the scholar. Next, as long as you wait for three days, you can get two taels of silver, and calculate, this wave of trading is really profitable.
The triumphant Shen Xi returned home and slowly fell asleep under Shen Chen's equally smug eyes.
Jiang Han is a student at the county school.
A few classmates came out to hang out tonight, and several of them proposed to go into the Qinglou to have a flower wine.
However, it costs money to eat flowers and wine, Jiang Han is a poor scholar, how can he come up with a lot of money. But it's not good to go back alone, it will eventually expose the absurd behavior of several other people.
So I could only stand outside and wait while watching the night view.
Suddenly, a stranger came, and he asked him to go to Saddle Castle to find someone to copy the book. It's amazing, ahem. However, stopping at this family, who intends to marry a woman to a cold family, Jiang Han feels that he should do such a good thing.
What's more, there are still thirty dollars to earn, so why not.
It just so happens that tomorrow is the time to take a break, but it will not hinder your studies.
Waiting for his classmates to come out with a drunken smell, Jiang Han supported these guys in his hands, but in his mind he planned to buy something for the old lady at home if he got thirty yuan in the future.
Slept all night.
Early in the morning, Jiang Han hurriedly washed up, said hello to his classmates, and asked someone to ask the direction of Niu'anbao.
Although it was more than ten miles away, Jiang Han, who was bent on promoting good things, only took half an hour to arrive at Niu'an Fort.
As soon as he entered the village, he came to the root of a south wall, and asked the old men who were basking in the sun very politely: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know where Shen Yun's family lives, but Xiao Ke was appointed by someone to come and discuss something." ”
"Huh?"
Several old men exclaimed in unison: "Yesterday there was an official, and today there is a scholar, what did Shen Yun do, there are scholars looking for him every day." ”
"Yesterday came to be an official?" Jiang Han was stunned in his heart, and suddenly felt that something was not right about his trip.
"Yes, such a big official, it is said that he is a celebrity in front of the county master. It's ridiculous to say that the man actually removed all the paper that the Shen family kid had posted at the door. In these years, being an official is really confusing. ”
Jiang Han instantly felt that he might have fallen for someone else's misdeeds.
However, the gentleman is quick to speak, even if he is fooled, since he has promised others, he cannot be lazy. Asking where Shen Yun's house was, Jiang Han hurried here with a concern.
Shen Yun had been pondering Jiang Jimin's words last night.
But no matter how you think about it, I feel that there is really nothing I can do now. If you want to be cautious, at least, you need to communicate with others.
But now, even if it's a letter, I don't know who I have to deal with. How to be cautious?
And only by reading a lot of books and being with the sages as companions, maybe you can do this.
Thinking of this, I have to thank the owner of the Fan Mansion for giving me such an opportunity, I can't help but earn my family, and I can also increase my knowledge, which is simply a reconstruction.
Early in the morning, Shen Yun began to sweep the yard as usual.
This is the rule he set for himself, he can't stay in his room all day, he must work a certain amount every day. Sprinkling and sweeping was supposed to be something Shen's mother wanted to do, but she forced Shen Yun to take over.
At this time, Shen Yun's heart calmed down a lot.
Sweeping the yard is like sweeping your own heart, sweeping and sweeping, you can sweep away a lot of troubles and trivial things in your heart.
When Jiang Han came to the door, Shen Yun happened to put away the broom and was about to go to the house.
"Inside, Shen Bannong is in person, Jiang Han is under him, and he is entrusted by someone today, and he has something to see." Jiang Han was afraid that Shen Yun would not come out if he went in, so he hurriedly shouted, but he successfully pulled Shen Yun back.
Dressed as a scholar, it made Shen Yun a lot closer.
walked to the door and let Jiang Han in: "Brother Jiang Nian has worked hard, please take a sip of tea in the house, and it's not too late." ”
The two walked into the house, and Shen's mother brought tea and retreated to the side room. Shen Yun watched Jiang Han sit down, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to Brother Nian, you might as well talk about it." ”
After taking a sip of tea, Runrun had already had some smoky throat along the way, and Jiang Han arched his hand: "But it's a happy event." ”
"Oh, where does the joy come from?"
"Someone in the city has entrusted me to ask Brother Shen to copy a copy of the Book of Rites within three days. These twenty essays can be regarded as polishing the pen. Jiang Han didn't go around the corner, took out the twenty yuan in his arms and put it on the table.
Shen Yun's eyes picked.
Seriously, that's not a lot of money. A copy of "The Book of Rites" Shen Yun is careful and can be copied within two days.
However, Shen Yun was not willing to make this deal.
"It's Brother Lao Nian's journey in vain, please forgive Shen for not agreeing to this matter."
"Oh? But why? Jiang Han didn't get angry because Shen Yun refused. It's just that the origin of this matter needs to be clarified. After all, it's about your thirty dollars.
Shen Yun smiled: "But a few days ago, the Fan Mansion in the city had already sent a lot of books for me to copy. Although the time limit has not been specified, it can be entrusted by people and loyal to people. There are many classics in them, and Shen Yun has not read them before, and he wants to record some copies for future study. ”
What Shen Yun said was not a high-sounding word, but he was determined to do so.
In this way, even two days is very long for him. What's more, he has long been familiar with the "Book of Rites", and twenty yuan is not worth it for him to do this.
Jiang Han shook his head regretfully, still thinking about his thirty dollars in his heart.
I just have to talk about it.
"This is not the happy event I am talking about. The person who entrusted me claimed that his young lady admired Brother Shen a lot, thinking that he wanted to get Brother Shen's handwriting to relieve the pain of lovesickness. Moreover, when I look at the words of others, I have no view of the door. ”
Shen Yun's face changed at this time.
"Brother Jiang Hugh wants to mention this matter again. My father is newly mourned, and Shen Yun is in the period of filial piety. I just wanted Brother Jiang to come from afar, so I invited him in, and I didn't want to say such rude words. ”
Shen Yun had to say this.
In this day and age, this kind of thing is not mentioned at all during the period of mourning. What's more, a girl who suddenly appeared so much that she admired herself so much that she wanted to use her own words to solve the pain of lovesickness, this thing was absolutely wrong.
Jiang Han was stunned.
He didn't expect this to be the case. The co-authors are still in the filial piety period. The person who entrusted him was really a little rude.
"But it's in Xia Menglang. Since this is the case, Jiang Han is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he leaves. Thank you Brother Shen for your hospitality, and please invite Brother Shen Haihan. ”
Jiang Han felt like he was on pins and needles, and stood up in great trepidation and bowed to Shen Yun. Of course, he did not forget to put away the money on the table.
Shen Yun shook his head, sent Jiang Han out of the door, and walked into the house, but happened to meet Shen's mother walking out of the side room.
"Child, don't care about the filial piety, since it's someone else's girl is interesting, then you can try to get in touch, it's not a good thing." Shen's mother thought that Shen Shan passed away, and Shen Yun's marriage would become a problem in the future.
Since someone takes a fancy to it, it doesn't matter if Shen Yun has no father. Why not give it a try, and if it works, then you don't have to worry about it anymore.
Shen Yun smiled and slowly explained his worries to Shen's mother.
