Chapter 312: Selling Words
On September 20, Ji Ning set up an altar at home to worship the ancestors, and informed the ancestors of the news of his Zhongjieyuan, hoping to get the protection of the ancestors.
They are all common rituals in filial piety and etiquette, Ji Ning seems very pious, when he inserted the three incense sticks and retreated, He An and Yu Ling were standing respectfully outside, they were the subordinates of the Ji Mansion, and they were not qualified to enter the Ji Mansion ancestral hall, but they had long regarded themselves as a part of the Ji Mansion.
"Young master, you are going to the capital in about half a month, the old slave can't follow you, you have to be careful along the way." He An asked.
Ji Ning smiled: "Uncle An, there is still half a month, you are in a hurry to send me away, are you too anxious?" ”
He An smiled ashamedly and said: "It is said that the parents are not far away, and now the lord and the lady are gone, the young master is in high school Xie Yuan, and in the coming year, he will try to say that he will be able to enter the Jinshi in the first list, how happy can the lord and the lady be under Jiuquan at that time?" The old slave has this one wish for the rest of his life, to watch the young master get ahead, and then to spread out for the Ji family, young master, you just need to cherish it all the way! ”
He An was old and emotional, but Yu Ling next to her didn't have much sadness about parting, because she was already convinced that she was indeed the one who went to the capital with Ji Ning.
Yu Ling will be thinking about what is interesting on the road, and he can see more things when he arrives in the capital.
"These days, I basically study behind closed doors." Ji Ning said, "The door of the house is not out either, if anyone comes to visit, Uncle An, you can help me deal with it, Yuling prepares the food and clothing at home, and then helps me buy more four treasures of the study, I always need to prepare some more things." ”
Yu Ling blinked his eyes wide and asked, "Young Master, what do you want to prepare?" ”
Ji Ning smiled, didn't explain, in fact, he himself wanted to prepare some articles on big seals and small seals, and then go to see and sell them through the black market in Jinling City, these articles written by big seals and small seals can generally communicate with ghosts and gods, but the effect will not be very large, but once it is written as a sacrificial text or a prayer for rain, etc., the value is different.
Ji Ning had observed some literary black markets in Jinling City before, and there would still be people from the Temple of Literature who would take out the articles written by Xiao Seal and sell them, the price was not very high, but the big seal was basically priceless, and it could be said that there were still a lot of people in demand for the big seal, but basically no one could write it, and it was difficult to find ready-made ones even in a rich place like Jinling City.
"You go and prepare. Don't I need to teach you the specifics? Ji Ning said.
Yu Ling stuck out his tongue and said: "The young master refuses to tell the slave maid, it must be that he doesn't trust the slave and maid, and the slave and maid won't tell the young master if there is something in the future!" Hum! ”
The little girl seemed to be angry with Ji Ning, but soon she turned around and ran in the direction of the door, Ji Ning asked her to buy the four treasures of the study and the materials for framing, she went to buy them, and her legs and feet were also diligent.
……
……
For several days, Ji Ning was writing articles on the big seal and the small seal behind closed doors in the study.
Mainly small seals, after all, the big seal is like a precious thing on the market, and it is easy to be criticized when written, Ji Ning wrote a few small seals praying for good health, and he could get a lot of money in exchange for a lot of money at a price in the black market.
Ji Ning's entanglement in Beijing is enough, but it always takes a little more preparation to entangle this thing, and in this world, it is also difficult to move an inch without money.
What was written, Ji Ning was not in a hurry to sell, but first asked the market situation, thought it was good, and then increased the output, anyway, he was basically not limited by mental power in writing big seals and small seals, which can be said to be no different from writing ordinary words.
This is Ji Ning's merit, and it is also the source of his ability to make money with words.
In order not to let people know that the big seal and the small seal were written by himself, he also deliberately changed some fonts, Liu Ti and Yan Ti have written some, and even added some line and grass documents, after a long time of practice, Ji Ning's pen has gained very quickly, even if others are staring at his question to study, it is impossible to distinguish whose handwriting these words come from.
When Ji Ning writes the big seal and the small seal, he also has to take care of reading, almost every day is the head cantilever cone thorn stock, he has never seen Nalan Fuxue and Mi Zhirong again, let alone Li Xiuer and Zhao Yuanxuan, as for the weekdays, Tang Xie and others will occasionally come, give him the title of an article, and make an article each, Tang Xie will take the article he wrote and leave, go to some famous Confucians to comment, and then tell Ji Ning the results of the review.
Because the articles that Ji Ning writes on weekdays are lacking in literary style, which makes the articles not very brilliant, and they are not formal exams in themselves, but just exchange knowledge, Ji Ning feels that he doesn't need to write articles so maverick, it is better to write plain and simple, and barely cope with the past.
Seeing the end of September, September 28, Ji Ning was busy until he was sleepy, he went back to his room to rest after washing, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Because I have been facing books and knowledge for several days, I close my eyes and have these things in my mind, and even sleeping seems to be reviewing my homework, writing articles, and writing big and small seals.
Just when he was sleeping in a hazy mood, he suddenly felt as if there was a very wonderful feeling in his body, and a warm warmth came from under the feet of his body, but it was in his bed, as if a small warm body had come in.
Ji Ning slept so deeply that his consciousness was half-asleep and half-awake.
If this body was a threat to him, he would definitely wake up immediately, but it seemed that this body was so familiar that Ji Ning couldn't help but want to get close to this body, and he didn't even have any intention of waking up.
"Uh-huh!" A small voice came from under the covers.
In late autumn, the sky was already very cold, Ji Ning's quilt was very warm, and that small body was not very strange to Ji Ning's body, and she was also very serious when she did things, so that Ji Ning felt so comfortable that even if the sun had already sunburned his face, he still didn't want to get up.
It wasn't until the little body in the quilt completed what she wanted to do that the little body came out of the quilt, Ji Ning opened his eyes, and saw Yu Ling standing in front of the bed wearing a small obscene clothes, her small mouth was closed, and she looked at Ji Ning with some grievances, and finally she turned around and went to the door, as for what Yu Ling did behind, Ji Ning didn't have to chase it out.
Ji Ning touched the quilt and couldn't help but smile, and when his hand came out, it was still the placket that Yu Ling was wearing on the outside of the dirty clothes.
After Yu Ling went out to rinse her mouth, she pouted and looked at Ji Ning after coming in, Ji Ning threw her small clothes to her, she hugged her small clothes, and ran away with clogs, her voice was very crisp, Ji Ning even closed her eyes to listen to the sound of Yu Ling's feet stepping on the ground.
It wasn't until the voice was far away that Ji Ning closed his eyes, and he was reluctant to come out of the bed full of warmth.
Ji Ning slept beautifully.
