Chapter 31: The Gentleman Bullies
The twilight river is not moving, and the spring flowers are in full bloom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The waves will go away from the moon, and the tide will bring the stars.
The mountains and rivers on the paper are connected, there is a kind of fatalistic harmony, the spring flowers on both sides of the river are like splendor, dotted with the flat and immovable river, and the red sun is rising in the upper left, good weather!
Liu Yuanshan recited two sentences in his mouth, clapped his hands and said: "Master Xiucai is really talented!" β
Wang Xiucai waved his hand proudly and said, "Don't call me master." However, you are not right, this is not a twilight river, my river is a round of rising sun. β
Liu Yuanshan showed a signature child's smile, hehehe, he was silent.
Wang Xiucai said again: "San Lang, you haven't read, but where did you learn these poems?" β
Liu Yuanshan was shocked in his heart, the secret way was a bit too big, so he could only ...... Keep it on.
"Well, when my father was there, I recited it, and the boy wrote it down."
"Oh......" Wang Xiucai was skeptical, and asked again: "Do you know whose poem it is?" β
"I heard that it is a poem by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, which can be described as far-reaching and magnificent." Liu Yuanshan was a highly educated person in his previous life, not illiterate, and he still understood many poems.
"Yes!" Wang Xiucai was already numb to this freak and asked, "Do you know what kind of person Emperor Yang of Sui is?" β
Liu Yuanshan thought for a long time, combined with some cognitions in his previous life and the stories he heard on the hundred pulpits, and said after a comprehensive evaluation: "It is a generation of heroes with great talents, but it is a pity that the heart of pleasure is too heavy, and the country is squeezed as his home." β
"Huh?" Wang Xiucai showed a hint of surprise and said: "You also have some knowledge, but if you say that he is a generation of heroes, I am afraid that he will exalt him." β
Liu Yuanshan naturally didn't bother to argue with him in this regard, so he simply kept silent, with an expression that what you said was right.
Wang Xiucai is also very artistic, and he raises the pen in the upper right corner of the painting, which is the poem of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty: The twilight river is not moving, and the spring flowers are blooming. The waves will go away from the moon, and the tide will bring the stars.
The painting is the rising sun, but the title is the sunset, which looks ridiculous and nondescript, but it is precisely because of this beautiful story that the value of this painting has doubled, so that in later generations, it has never been auctioned at a sky-high price.
"You came by chance, and this painting was given to you!" Wang Xiucai personally rolled up the painting and handed it to him, smiled like a big bad wolf looking at Little Red Riding Hood, and said, "Now, let's talk about apprenticeship, right?" β
Liu Yuanshan suddenly became entangled in pain, but at present, he has a request from others, and he can't refuse, so he replied vaguely: "If you can follow Master Xiucai to recognize and read, it will not hurt to think about it." β
But I was thinking in my heart: I promised you today, and when I don't want to study, I can still say, I used to say that I learned to read and write with you, but now I have learned to read and write, don't force me to take the imperial examination.
Moreover, although he is highly educated, after all, the difference between traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters is not small, and taking this opportunity to understand traditional Chinese characters is also a good thing for walking in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Wang Xiucai was really overjoyed, and was about to talk about the specific details of the apprenticeship, but was interrupted by Liu Yuanshan at the right time.
"Well, sir!" Liu Yuanshan didn't call him teacher for the time being: "The kid came to you today, in fact, there is another thing to ask Mr. for help!" β
"Say!" Wang Xiucai was extremely happy to be able to accept such an apprentice.
Liu Yuanshan did not shy away from it, took out the two pieces of osmanthus soap wrapped in rice paper from his arms, carefully unfolded them and put them on the table, and said: "This is a gadget made by the students themselves, and I gave two pieces to Mr. to thank Mr. for his kindness." β
"Oh, what is this?" Wang Xiucai's eyes showed puzzlement.
"You smell it!"
"Is it the scent of osmanthus?"
"Yes!"
"This is, osmanthus cake?" Wang Xiucai asked with his mouth open.
"Poof!" Liu Yuanshan was really conquered by the brains of the ancients, and said with a bitter smile: "It's not osmanthus cake, it's osmanthus soap!" β
"Osmanthus soap?" Wang Xiu knew that he was a little out of shape, came back to his senses and looked at the things in his hand again, and after a little thought, he came back to his senses, "Laundry take?" β
Liu Yuanshan secretly said that he deserved to be a high-quality talent, and he said at the moment: "Yes, sir, not only do you wash clothes, but you can also take a bath and wash your hair. β
"A hundredfold?" Wang Xiucai seemed a little unconvinced.
"You can give it a try!"
"Good!" Wang Xiucai was also interested, and asked Wang Wu to bring a basin of clothes that had not been washed in the past few days, take it out and put it in the yard, and beat two large basins of clean water.
Under the guidance of Liu Yuanshan, Wang Wu carefully cleaned a piece of dirty clothes with osmanthus soap, and then washed it with water, Wang Xiucai's face showed an expression of admiration, and he immediately gave a thumbs up and said: "This thing is really a divine thing, San Lang is really an amazing person." β
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment!" Liu Yuanshan bowed his head, and then said, "There is one more thing to discuss with Mr." β
"Let's go, let's talk upstairs!"
The two went to Wang Xiucai's study again, Liu Yuanshan said straight to the point: "This kind of thing, I still have a lot in my hands, once it is pushed to the market, it will definitely be sold, I heard that Mr. has contact with many big families in Xiangyang City, and I ask Mr. to help me one or two!" β
"Sell?" Although Wang Xiucai is good at learning, his business sense is almost equal to zero, he only has the lintel of studying and being an official in his mind, but the business of a businessman has never been thought of, after all, the city of agriculture and industry, businessmen are profitable, and they belong to the bottom of society.
"No!" Wang Xiucai sighed, looked at his disciple who had not yet started, and said: "San Lang, the world attaches great importance to cultivating and reading heirlooms, and being a businessman is equivalent to having no chance with the imperial examination, don't do these things that sacrifice the basics." β
Really!
Liu Yuanshan has been in this time and space for dozens of days, and he also understands some concepts in this time and space, and Wang Xiucai's expression when he heard that he was going to sell things was exactly the same as he expected.
But so what? Lao Tzu still has a back move, so I'm not afraid that you won't help.
Mencius said: A gentleman can deceive him!
"What, sir, hehe!" Liu Yuanshan showed a cute and honest smile and said, "Sir, do you really think that students sell these things just for themselves?" β
"What do you mean by that?" There was a trace of disdain in Wang Xiucai's eyes.
Liu Yuanshan also ignored his attitude and began to preach: "For example, today, everyone is looking forward to the imperial examination, and the hearts of all scholars are above the court, but among those cabinet ministers who have really gone to the court, which one of them has really cared about the people's livelihood." β
"People's livelihood?" Wang Xiucai thought slightly.
"Well, that's the living conditions of the people!" Liu Yuanshan continued to explain: "Sir, you said that if my osmanthus soap is promoted, is it a trivial matter convenient for the people of the world?" β
Hearing this, Wang Xiucai really fell into deep thought, and thought for a while before saying: "This thing can save manpower, decontaminate and clean, it is indeed a convenient thing, but don't be presumptuous, this is not a trivial matter." Although it cannot be said that it will be famous in history, it can also lead the people to be gracious! β
"That's it!" Liu Yuanshan struck while the iron was hot and said: "The folk effective imitation style, if those families all use osmanthus soap, it will be popularized by the whole people in the future, and it is not just around the corner." β
"Indeed!" Wang Xiucai was puzzled: "You can sell this thing yourself, why do you want me to come forward?" If you don't have enough people, I can find two or three family members to escort you to Xiangyang City!" β
Wang Xiucai is a little swollen and fat, although the living conditions of his family are good, but there is only one servant Wang Wu, where is there any family. Even if he can call a few people to help Liu Yuanshan, it is only those relatives who surrendered the land under his head.
"Alas, I can't do it! Students don't have a reputation! Liu Yuanshan sighed.
"What does this have to do with fame?" Wang Xiucai said curiously.
"Don't you know, sir, that the puppet is innocent and guilty?"
"Oh......" Wang Xiucai understood in seconds!
Speaking of which, Liu Yuanshan is just a little kid who is no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, without any background and family background, although osmanthus soap is not a treasure gold, but if he gets its formula, he will definitely be able to get rich overnight. If someone with bad intentions stares at him, it is indeed a very troublesome thing.
But Wang Xiucai's own sale is another situation, at least in the land of the Ming Dynasty, except for bandits and bandits, there is really no one who dares to blatantly threaten a person with merit. Of course, with Wang Xiucai's identity, he naturally can't sell it blatantly, he just needs to help Liu Yuanshan write a few letters.
"Sir, what ...... about this?"
"Forget it, who made you an old man, ahem, it's my first disciple, I'll help you once!" Wang Xiucai pretended to be an old man: "But it's impossible for me to help you sell, I can write a few posts to you, you take my posts to visit these people, they will definitely give me a thin noodle!" β
"Thank you so much, sir!" Liu Yuanshan thanked him sincerely this time, bowed down, and then said with a smile: "I don't lose my husband, when my osmanthus soap is sold, I will give you a share!" β
"Cut!" Wang Xiucai was disdainful, and secretly said how much money you can have, fifty or five hundred, but he said: "Hurry up and sell it, come back and study with me after selling, this matter can't be delayed any longer, as for the sharing, don't mention it, I won't want it." β
"That!" Liu Yuanshan said with some constipation: "Sir, don't regret it when you look back!" β
"Will I regret it? Are you kidding? β
Oh God! Liu Yuanshan said secretly: What kind of world is this, why does this show still have a bit of the flavor of the 21st century?
Wang Xiucai wrote the post and handed it to Liu Yuanshan, Liu Yuanshan put the post and the painting away together, and then chatted with Wang Xiucai without a match, and found that this product didn't look like a teacher at all.
It's verbose, but there's no shelf, it's easy to get along with!
While he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion downstairs, Liu Yuanshan looked down from the window, and saw that Shengsheng, Ergua, and Edamame had all come over, followed by a naΓ―ve man.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yuanshan asked.
"San Lang, go home quickly!" Da Lang shouted at Liu Yuanshan: "Your mother is looking for you in an emergency, there are many people in the house, and your mother was beaten and cried by them!" β
