Chapter Seventy-One: Something Happened
(New week, new departure, ask for collection ticket support!)
The weather looks nice today.
Chen Tang woke up early as usual, washed up, ate breakfast, and began to read and write.
The date of the test is getting closer and closer, so it's always good to review your homework more.
Now that he has the money in hand, he thinks about whether to buy more books to read, and he has to buy a batch of pen and ink.
I used to be poor and couldn't afford to use a good pen and ink, but now that I am rich, I can't treat myself badly in this regard.
Chen Tang thought, with a good pair of four treasures of the study, I wonder if it will increase the tone of the pen and ink?
From the perspective of calligraphy, poetry and painting, the integrity of a work not only refers to the content written on it, but also includes the carrier that carries the content. For example, the use of ink on paper, or even the mounting of seals, may produce gains.
Because of these factors, it is indeed matched.
The master's hand-me-down, the pen, ink and paper used must be of the highest quality. If you use some poor materials and pay no attention to them, the work will be ruined and will not be passed down at all.
The theory of literary atmosphere is of course special, but the pen and ink itself is the soil that breeds literary atmosphere. The better and more fertile the soil, the stronger the culture will be.
Thinking about it, Chen Tang put down the books in his hand and told Su Ling that he was going to buy the four treasures of the study in the calligraphy and painting shop on Hanmo Street, and went out.
Although it has been a while since he moved to live on the street, Chen Tang really hasn't had a good visit to Hanmo Street.
In the past, when the stall was opened, I was worried about three meals all day long, and I was shy in my pocket, so I didn't dare to enter the door of the calligraphy and painting shop; Later, I lived in the city, paid the tuition, and I was still strapped for money; and then a while ago, I got 3,000 yuan from Yan Zhihai, plus the reward of the Township Literary Association, and finally the money bag was rich, but in order to avoid Master Hu's invitation, I changed my identity to go out, and it was another round of busy work......
Today, I finally have free time.
There are dozens of shops and houses on both sides of Hanmo Street, the largest of which is called "Sibao Zhai", but the most famous one, called "Wenfang Ji", is a century-old brand.
To buy the Four Treasures of the Study, just visit these two shops.
Chen Tang went to Sibaozhai first, entered the store, and saw that there were some customers choosing things inside.
Sibao Zhai has three floors, the first floor sells pen and ink materials, the second floor sells calligraphy products, and the third floor sells paintings and antiques.
"This roll of Xuanming paper costs a hundred dollars!"
Looking at the price code above, Chen Tang couldn't help but sigh.
"A rabbit hair is gold, one hundred and eighty dollars......"
Who said that if you are poor and rich in martial arts, you still want to engage in culture if you have no money?
Chen Tang sighed in his heart.
However, he was mentally prepared, brought enough money, and immediately went shopping, bought a total of eight or nine things, and finally spent more than five hundred dollars.
Compared with the housing price of more than 2,000, it is a bit unacceptable.
Perhaps, there is still a terrifying real estate market in another time and space in my memory, which cannot be compared.
But there are always many things that are very different in different worlds. The market depends on the environment, and in Yin, the price of consumables, including food, is much more popular than real estate.
As for the specific reasons, in addition to the vast land and sparsely populated population, backward productive forces, and underdeveloped material civilization, there are also ......
Chen Tangcai was too lazy to study the economic problems of another world, and a thousand words were not worth one sentence:
"Have you eaten?"
Carrying a big bag of things, I went home first to put it away, and then went out to the study.
Wenfangji is a century-old brand, the location is a little off, and the place is not big, but the guests inside are the most every day.
There is a saying in the circle: The products produced by the study room must be high-quality products.
As for the price, it is also quite "fine".
Chen Tang came here mainly to order a seal.
In the book, there is a master who is a good hand at carving seals and is very famous. Not only the local literary circles in Panzhou, but also in Changzhou and Yunzhou, there are literati and scholars who come here and ask this master to move the knife.
To engrave a seal, you must first choose the size of the specification and the type of material, mainly stone.
Of course, it will not be an ordinary stone, but a strange stone and a famous stone.
A thumb-sized standard longevity jade stone costs nearly 100 yuan, and the cost of carving is often about twice as expensive as that of a stone - let the apprentice of the shop do it, and the salary can be reduced by half.
For these hundreds of dollars, Chen Tang can still get it, but after asking, the master's schedule has been scheduled until the middle and end of next year......
When Chen Tang heard this, he was a little speechless.
"Brother Chen, you are really here. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Sanye walked in.
Chen Tang was stunned and asked, "The third master has something to look for me?"
Zhao Sanye nodded, signaling that this place was not the place to speak.
The two left the study room and returned to Chen Tang's house.
"Something happened to Hujiazhuang!"
After sitting down, Zhao Sanye said directly, his tone was quite heavy.
Chen Tang asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master Hu is dead, and more than 30 people have died in Hujiazhuang......"
Hearing this, Chen Tang couldn't help but gasp: This is a big bloody case!
Zhao Sanye's face sank like water, and he was obviously shocked by this incident: "Master Hu is a master of the inner family, but he was also unfortunately killed. Now that the news has spread, the whole city is shaken, the people are panicked, and the yamen can't hold it back. ”
Chen Tang was a little upset for a while, and asked, "Is it the enemy's doing?"
Zhao Sanye replied: "I don't know for the time being, but according to the death of the corpses at the scene, most of them were disemboweled, and they died miserably, I guess, it should be an evil act." ”
Speaking of this, he paused: "Brother Chen, last time Master Hu invited you to be a tutor, fortunately you didn't agree, otherwise, you would have suffered this unwarranted disaster." ”
If Chen Tang went to Hujiazhuang to be a tutor and lived in the village, it was really possible to harm the pond fish and die.
Chen Tang sighed: "At that time, I was thinking about preparing for the exam, and I had no intention of doing anything else...... By the way, how is Miss Hu's house?"
Zhao Sanye shook his head: "I don't know where I went, my whereabouts are unknown." ”
Chen Tang had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't understand it for a while.
He refused Master Hu's invitation at that time, and even came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and went out to hide. The main reason is suspicion, but the suspicion is for the Hu family, I never thought that something happened last night, but it was Master Hu and others who were killed.
The key is difficult to understand.
Zhao Sanye's face was worried: "The current situation is turbulent, there are many disasters, I don't dare to take the business of the dart bureau now, it is very bleak." ”
Chen Tang asked, "What about Daoist Zhan?"
"Hey, he ran back to Fushan to watch, and said that something big had happened, in short, it wouldn't be a good thing. ”
Chen Tang was concerned, and asked again: "If such a major event happens, there should be someone from the nine doors." ”
Zhao Sanye said: "I hope to come and solve that evil as soon as possible...... Hey, don't talk about it, I'll go back to the dart game first, a lot of things, I'm really upset. ”
After sending Zhao Sanye away, Chen Tang sat back in the room, his mood fluctuated, it was difficult to calm down, and he even had no taste for lunch.
A state of trance that lasts until dusk. Someone came to the door, it was an old Taoist priest, dressed sloppily, wearing a Taoist robe, dirty, and it seemed that he hadn't changed and washed it for some days.
He smiled at Chen Tang: "Poor Dao 'Fusheng', whose real name is 'Lao Jiu', you can call me 'Lao Jiu', or 'Uncle Jiu'......"
