Chapter 51: It's on Fire

Crackling, in the sound of firecrackers, Tang Yi and Wu Tiancheng grabbed the red silk together, and gently pulled it, revealing an eye-catching plaque: Changwen Paper Shop.

The four big-character pens are powerful, and they are Wei Liangfu's handwriting. To put it bluntly, these four words alone are enough to attract countless people. Don't look at it as a master and apprentice, Old Man Wei is not willing to help Tang Yi write. Tang Yi is a profiteer, and even the Tianfei Palace can squeeze out oil and water, and when he does business, won't he even squeeze out the bone marrow oil. Tang Yi can hand over the shopkeeper to Wu Tiancheng and hide behind the scenes. But if Wei Liangfu's name is hung outside, it won't become a top tank to be scolded, and the old man can't stand it!

Tang Yi was simply sweating, and the divine beast in his heart roared by.

"Master, is the disciple so greedy for money and profit in your eyes, the disciple is even more resentful than Dou E!"

Wei Liangfu didn't care about Tang Yi's performance at all, and shook his head like a rattle.

"Okay, teacher, the disciple swears to you, if my paper shop deceives a poor scholar, without you talking, I will automatically sweep the floor out, and I am not worthy of being your student!"

"Really?"

"Seriously!" Tang Yi said categorically.

"Then what are you waiting for, go get a pen and paper!" Wei Liangfu scolded with a smile.

Standing in front of the paper shop, through the wide window, the layout inside could be seen clearly, Wei Liangfu couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. The paper shop is decorated with bamboo everywhere, elegant, very elegant! ”

"Hehe, teacher, just praise your old man, shouldn't you be rewarded with a couplet?" Tang Yi saw the stitches and said with a smile.

Wei Liangfu nodded happily and said with a smile: "Then the old man will be ugly!" ”

Wu Tiancheng had already run inside, took out the paper and pen on the table, Wei Liangfu thought about it, and wrote with a stroke of the pen.

The opening of the store has already attracted a group of people to watch the excitement, and I heard that Mr. Wei is also here, and he has to write an inscription, and the big guys all stretched their necks and watched with their eyes.

The pen is a dragon and a snake, and a couplet is quickly written. Tang Yi couldn't help but read it out: "Only art and literature are the main business, and the pen and paper will be passed on to the elegant name!" ”

"Good! Tiancheng, don't hurry up and wait for my mentor to go in. ”

Wu Tiancheng helped Wei Liangfu to go inside, and Cao Dazhang and Wang Shimao followed behind and wanted to go in. Tang Yi stretched out his hand and stopped them all.

"Brother Yicheng, the family teachers have left Mobao, if you go in like this, isn't it inappropriate?"

"Okay, you Tang Yi, you really don't suffer a loss!" Cao Dazhang was also interested, and said with a smile: "I can't compare with Master Wei, so I'll be embarrassed." ”

Saying that, Cao Dazhang thought for a while, and wrote: "Looking at the store, there are four treasures of the study; Xinghuai is elegant, and the Confucianism of the sea is widely exchanged! ”

"Good, except good is good!" Cao Dazhang strode in, only Wang Shimao was left, he blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Cousin, we are relatives, I'll be exempt!" ”

Tang Yi sank his face and said unceremoniously: "Today there are only customers, no relatives." Cousin, if you can't write it, and you don't have anything, I won't laugh at you! ”

Wang Shimao was suddenly furious, and said angrily: "I, Wang Jingmei, have also been studying hard for ten years, do you really think I can't write?" ”

After pondering for a while, Wang Shimao's eyes lit up, and he immediately moved his pen like a fly, and wrote: "The ancient paper is hard and yellow and Linjin paste, and the new paper is even Bilu Tang Xin." ”

After writing and shaking the pen, he said proudly: "How about it, I can go in this time, right?" ”

The three of them all left couplets, Wei Liangfu is a member of Zhishi, a famous scholar in the world, and even Cao Dazhang and Wang Shimao will become scholars in the future. In just a paper shop, Tang Yi was so happy that he could get the authentic works of the three of them, and said with a smile: "How dare the little brother stop his cousin!" ”

Tang Yi smiled and arched his hand to the guests who rushed over, and said, "Welcome to your guests, everyone please come in." ”

Just as he was about to go inside, suddenly a pair of arms stopped him, and the person who shot was Wang Shimao, looking at him with a smile, Tang Yi couldn't help but wail, the report of the present world is too fast!

"What do you mean, cousin?

Wang Shimao gritted his teeth and smiled: "Cousin, everyone has left a word, you can't help but write, right?" His voice was so loud that those who watched the excitement could hear it clearly, and they all immediately started to heckle.

"That's right, Tang Prodigy, I've heard of your name for a long time, let's write one!"

"That's right, let's see it and open our eyes!"

There were more and more people who coaxed, and some people shouted: "Tang Prodigy, don't you know how to write?" ”

"Ball!"

Tang Yi snorted and shouted, "Pen and ink are waiting!" ”

The paper was paved, licked the pen, and the first thing he thought of when talking about paper was the idiom that Luoyang paper is expensive, so he simply used this to write.

"The silver stream and the white are all expensive, and the ink dyes the crow and the blue are strange!"

The word is good, the meaning is better. Wang Shimao immediately slapped his face, and everyone applauded when he saw the excitement, four such outstanding couplets, a small paper shop, what a blessing, it is really curious.

A few years later, among the four people who wrote the inscription, there were three official residences and a product, and they were in the cabinet before and after, and even Wu Tiancheng, who was in charge, was in charge of one. Later, whenever a child enters school, parents will spare no expense to buy a set of pen, ink and paper inkstones from Changwen Paper Store, if nothing else, they will be extravagant!

Without further ado, many guests who had long been curious followed Tang Yi into the paper shop, and everyone was attracted by several huge shelves, which were filled with all kinds of pen, ink, paper and inkstones. Unlike other shops that are placed on the counter, everything here is laid out on the surface so that everyone can reach it at your fingertips.

When everyone looked at the labels on the shelves, they couldn't help but gasp!

Cheap, really cheap!

A knife of ordinary paper, as long as two dollars of silver, is at least thirty percent cheaper than other stores, and some people have noticed that near the door of the store, there are some crooked, damaged paper, used to practice calligraphy and painting There is no problem at all, as long as ten cents can buy a large volume.

Paper sells so cheaply, maybe something else is expensive, right?

With doubts, I looked at the other shelves, a brush of fifteen yuan, an inkstone of five coins of silver, and a tael of ink and five pieces of silver......

Everything looks down to two words: cheap!

It's cheaper than cabbage!

Many families can't afford to study, and the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is an astronomical amount, but the general cheaper in front of them is more than 30%, and some are even half cheaper.

"Shopkeeper, do you really sell at this price?" A young scholar asked.

Wu Tiancheng hurriedly ran over, nodded and said, "This son doesn't know, in the first month of opening, it was all at this price. In the future, when the source of goods is properly connected, it can be cheaper! ”

"Will it be cheaper?"

Everyone is completely dizzy, but no matter what, the price is fair!

Some people have already begun to choose paper, and at this moment, suddenly there is a melodious music, fluttering, not really listening, but like a small hand, constantly stirring the heartstrings, the spirit is fluttering.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on with this music?"

"Oh, guest officer, we have arranged a garden in the backyard to talk about literature and poetry."

"Oh?" Someone suddenly became interested and asked, "Is there anyone still playing music?" ”

Wu Tiancheng said with a smile: "It's everyone Liuying, she wants to play a new song in the mask." ”

When I heard the words "Liuying everyone", it was like being beaten with chicken blood, rolling up my arms and sleeves, and about to rush inside. Two young men turned out at the door, and Zhu Shan and Zhu Hai blocked their way.

"Hey, why don't you let us in?"

"Yes, we have to listen, no, we have to talk about poetry papers!"

Wu Tiancheng hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, guest officers, the backyard is small and can't accommodate so many people. ”

"Hmph, then you say, how can I go in and listen?"

"There are two ways, the first is to be recommended by the person who has obtained the membership, as long as it is recognized as a talent, you can become a member and come and go at will. As for the second, it costs money, two taels of silver at a time, and now it is an opening reward, and it only costs one or two silver for a five-fold discount. ”

Ooh!

Everyone's eyes widened, why don't you go and grab the money! One or two silver, you can buy half a fan of pork, who has how much money, can be so bad.

Wu Tiancheng saw that everyone looked disdainful, and he was also anxious, and said loudly: "Everyone, how much is it worth listening to Liuying's singing once?" Besides, there are famous talents in Jiangnan who come here, as well as the predecessors of the imperial examination, listen to their words, maybe they can show off their talents and raise people! Tell me, how much is a fame worth? ”

Needless to say, fame is priceless! Finally someone was moved, and a middle-aged scholar took out a tael of silver and said with a smile: "Even if you just listen to Liuying's singing, it's worth it!" ”

The others looked at each other, and a young man said, "I just saw Master Wei, and Tang Shentong, they all went to the backyard, just to see the boss, I spent this silver!" ”

Another one who paid for it, this time everyone was moved, isn't it just a tael of silver, and you can't drop a piece of meat, go in and have a look!

One after another, not long after that, Wu Tiancheng received almost twenty taels of silver. In an instant, I was full of excitement, and the fatigue of not sleeping all night disappeared, and I kept screaming in my heart: "It's on fire, it's really on fire!" ”
