The so-called black-eyed beads can't see the snow-white silver, five taels of silver cakes, ten letters, a full sixteen letters, give it away, Mr. Yu Xuanyu felt that he was cutting his own flesh, but the silver had to be paid, and he couldn't even delay it for two days.

The big head saw so much silver, but also smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he was happy, and his heart said that the young master was powerful, in a blink of an eye, eight hundred taels of silver arrived, and he quickly wrapped it in a cloth and hugged it tightly in his arms, eight hundred taels, a solid family to accumulate in three generations, it is really not a small amount, of course, for the real luxury family, these eight hundred taels are not enough to see, which shows that the gap between the rich and the poor in the Ming Dynasty at this time is huge.

With the Zheng family's current 100 acres of peach forest plus the house, coupled with the fame and strength of the obedient official, it is barely enough to be counted as a rich and noble family, 108,000 miles away from Zhong Mingding's luxurious family, such as Duan Tianya, the deputy of the general Wu Luo in Daxing County, and the idlers on the streets of Daxing talk about the rich people in Daxing, and they must mention Duan Daguan, and how much is the family property of the dead ghost Duan Tianya! 100,000 taels of family foundation.

But to do that, just by writing a book, it is obviously not possible, even a pure businessman is not good, there is no pure businessman in the Ming Dynasty, a qualified businessman, it is almost inevitable to have a fame, like the Yan family, in Ningbo for several generations, I don't know how many people have come out, only such a background family, accumulated huge assets, otherwise a corrupt official will be enough to make the Yan family unbearable and go around.

When eight hundred taels of silver came out, this Fu Zitang, almost all the meritorious and famous people were attracted to the eye, after all, the obedient official did not dance in the year, dressed in a Confucian shirt, and took a word singing book out and sold eight hundred taels of silver in Fu Zitang, which is simply the most desirable in the hearts of the majority of middle and lower class readers, eight hundred taels, if you save a little flower, it is enough to support a scholar to spend thirty or forty years from the child to the exam, and so on, eight hundred taels is not unusual, in the teacher, the same year there to play a dozen autumn winds, to the silver is also very easy.

Don't think of the scholar as high, in fact, [the book's own golden house] has already written the face of the reader clearly, if it is not for the silver, why bother to study, thousands of miles for officials, but just for food and clothing.

"This virtuous brother ......" Xiucai in Fu Zitang coaxed the corner of the counter, including Mr. Yu Xuan and Mr. Xiong Damu, and greeted Zheng Chengguan one after another.

With the talent of the big head since childhood, he has been squeezed back by these talents, it can be imagined how great the power of the flame is to attach the power, the big head hugged the silver tightly and took a few steps back, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: Sure enough, he is the most shameless reader.

Mr. Xiong Damu was very close to the big head, his ears were erected, and he couldn't help but look at the big head carefully, this little guy said this, it can be seen that the meaning of this sentence must be hanging on Zheng Guofan's mouth at ordinary times.

In this way, Xiong Damu suddenly looked up at Zheng Chengguan a few times, this is the style of a real celebrity.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were very strange, or they could be described as perverted, they had been suppressed by science for too long, and they didn't have the courage to resist, so they either played with boys to get the base, or they played with the three-inch golden lotus to do **, and they were so envious of those who wantonly and informally did not follow the law of etiquette, and even put these informal readers on the altar, in fact, what they praised was just the suppressed truth in their hearts.

Like Yan Qingwei's teacher Xu Wenchang can be regarded as a typical example, he was worshiped by people in the world, killed his wife and scolded the emperor, and he could do anything wanton, but almost every reader mentioned Xu Wenchang and called him respectfully, Mr. Qingteng.

For example, Chen Jiru of Huating County, one of the so-called four masters of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, Chen Jiru, who is twenty-five years old this year, is already famous in the three Wu, and Dong Qichang is equally famous. It can be said that the heart of the reader who dreams of being promoted and making a fortune is vividly revealed.

The literati of the world are also cheap, saying that this Chen Mingshi [with elegant ambitions and erudition], even the emperor heard about this great name and wanted to call him an official, but as a result, it was written in the history books that I was not an official, and I had nothing to do with it.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty was very tolerant of scholars, not scolding for nothing, and scolding for nothing, just like Yan Shannong scolded the old man of the court, and the old cabinet had to laugh and pretend to be the prime minister, but he couldn't hear it.

As for cutting the heads of civil officials as leeks, it was already the end of the Ming Dynasty when it was going to perish.

A young showman who has not danced an elephant for a year, writing a book can sell for eight hundred taels, this is not a celebrity, what can be called a celebrity!

So these scholars flocked over in a swarm, regardless of anything else, first mixed up their faces and then said them, and their faces were also bright.

Fortunately, the good official has also experienced the hypocritical greetings of the scholars who have admired each other for a long time, and the surface article is well done, and the ability to plaster the plaster is stable and stable, with a gentle smile on his face, although the voice is immature, but the bearing is extraordinary! Even with those who read each other, I dare not dare not, and I have admired it for a long time, although it is a polite word, but the most words that literati say in their lives are probably these two sentences.

After greeting for half an hour, these reading talents slowly dispersed, and they were satisfied, this Zheng Guofan is only thirteen years old, and he is already a showman, in Jiangnan, although it is not rare, but there are not many, after all, there are so many readers, some people have been tested for a lifetime, but they are just a child, and this kind of thirteen-year-old is a showman, it is really incomparable.

Scholars know each other and mix personal connections, not that those Xiucai have to entangle the good officials, but just for the sake of the queen, first mix a familiar face, for example, after the Hou are all lifted, say to each other Oh good brother, in the Jinshi, but also to carry each other, if the good official is twenty-three years old in the Jinshi, put a county order, and then a Xiucai handed a handbook in, saying that it is an old man.

Then they met, and the other said, "Oops! County Zun, ten years ago, we met in Fu Zitang outside Baoguo Temple in Ningbo, and now my brother and I are relatively tight......

People only need to mention it slightly, if the obedient official is a qualified scholar, then you have to obediently offer the silver, you are short of money, it is not too little to send fifty taels, and it is not too much to send two hundred taels with a wide amount of money.

This is the so-called autumn wind, especially Xiucai, the so-called Xiucai half of the paper, today I will send you half a piece of paper, tomorrow you will have to pay back a few taels of silver. It can even be said that a reader who can't play the autumn breeze is not a qualified reader.

From this point of view, the greetings of the readers, how expensive, to put it bluntly, are all silver, otherwise why should people rush to come over and pat your ass, although celebrities are rare, but Jiangnan Wuhua Tianbao literary style is gathered, it is not difficult to find a few celebrities.

After this greeting, the obedient official felt that his cheeks were stiff with laughter, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart, mud horse, the scholar of the Ming Dynasty is really ......

Xiong Damu watched coldly, and felt that this son of the city was extraordinary, and he had poetry and books in his belly, which was true, but there were so many readers in the stomach who had goods in the world, most of them were as big as a basket with eyes above the top, and he was not until he took the exam for more than ten years in a row, and gradually cooled his mind and took over the family business. There is no problem of eyes above the top like ordinary talents.

If this kind of person is underdeveloped in the future, it will be unreasonable.

Xiong Damu concluded that the obedient official was terrible, and he had to get acquainted with him deliberately: maybe this person still has a book in his hand, if he gets a few copies and brings them to my Zhongzhengtang to engrave, he will soar in the future, and it is also a fate with my Zhongzhengtang.

He made up his mind and waited for the crowd to disperse, then smiled and walked to the side of the good official, "Feng Zhang, this is the first afternoon, would you like to have a drink with the old man?" ”

As soon as Mr. Yu Xuan, the owner of Fu Zitang, heard it, he knew what his friend and in-law was thinking, and he felt sorry for the eight hundred taels of silver, so he naturally refused to lag behind: I paid eight hundred taels of silver, of course, I want to sell his favor, so that he will think of me Fu Zitang first when he has a song book in the future.

Therefore, he was obviously distressed by the silver and his heart was dripping with blood, but he had to pretend to be a big and heroic guest, and said with a smile: "Da Mu, you are a guest from afar, this landlord's friendship, let me come!" ”

The good official naturally has no reason to refuse, the author of the book must have a good relationship with the boss who published the book, and this is the same reason after five hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty is even more so, so he smiled and gave his hand, "The elder does not dare to resign, and he should accompany him in his later life." ”

There are no well-known restaurants near this Baoguo Temple, but the vegetarian food of Baoguo Temple is very famous, so Mr. Xiong proposed to go to Baoguo Temple to eat vegetarian food.

Two old and one young, the big head led the horse to follow, and the silver package refused to leave the body and carried it on his back, so that the good official also explained to the two old gentlemen, and felt that Shan Sinan, a stinky boy, was too, and eight hundred taels of silver were not heavy on his back.

Yu Xuan and the Baoguo Temple are accustomed to acquaintance, the chest and belly of the guest are full of oil, and they are led to a slightly secluded place in the temple, just near the water, next to the release pond, in the window you can see the carp playing in the pool.

These monks are accustomed to doing business, the side room next to the release pond is divided into seven or eight small rooms, it looks quite elegant, in fact, it is the elegant seat in the restaurant to change the name, plus the vegetarian food of Baoguo Temple is famous, the taste of vegetarian dishes to make meat dishes is not rare at all, and the vegetarian wine is also very famous, resulting in an endless stream of guests, and you have to book, fortunately, although Yu Xuan, the old man, although he is stingy, I don't know why, he actually has a good relationship with the monk of Baoguo Temple, which is full of fat, so they brought it here, I don't know if Old Man Yu Xuan will hurt when he goes back after eating here.

But the temple is different from the restaurant, the order is not like the restaurant next to the little two shouted through the hall, here, you have to tell the monk to pick up the vegetarian dishes up, the monks have been in this business for a long time, used to look at people's eyes, those regular customers are more like what they don't like, so, the vegetarian dishes sent are basically not to your taste, because of this, people like this atmosphere, said that there is a sense of meaning, no cheesiness, this Baoguo Temple business is getting better and better, Otherwise, then how could the monk eat with a fat brain.

On a table full of vegetarian wine, a small jar of vegetarian wine also came, this vegetarian wine in the Ming Dynasty, the monks were open to drink, "Journey to the West" in the female goblin teased Elder Tang, at every turn is [this is vegetarian wine, but it doesn't hurt to drink, the royal brother and brother drink this cup], in fact, vegetarian wine is equal to the draft beer of later generations, and drinking too much is a messy surname.

The two elders and one young man know well, and they don't talk about the topic of the later words and songs, but Yin Yin advises wine, this vegetarian wine monks and nuns love to drink, the elderly, women and children also love to drink, Chinese have a long habit of talking about business at the wine table, and they drink almost, and Mr. Yu Xuan and Mr. Xiong Damu only then opened their mouths to test the obedient officials.

The obedient official said that the younger generation now lives in Taohuawu outside the city, this record book, I am interested in it now, I am afraid that I will have to write it for a while, and I still have a lot of stories in my heart, and I want to write it down.

As soon as he said this, the two old men's eyes lit up, and they persuaded the wine almost at the same time, "Fengzhang, come on, drink this cup full." ”

The two old men here wanted to set the bottom of the obedient official, and there was a jingle of cups and plates next door, and it seemed that someone had drunk too much and fell, and then vaguely heard someone scolding, "Lying in the mud of the Gobi, but a student of Liupinjing County, he dares to be so flamboyant when he arrives in Ningbo, and he must be called good-looking." ”
