Chapter 48: Selling Words

Since the ink on Ruiyun's forehead was removed, the inferiority complex in his heart has weakened a lot, and his life with He Liang has become more loving and sweet. Although He Liang didn't go out to publicize this matter, there was no impermeable secret in the world, and the news finally got out.

It doesn't matter if other people hear the news, they will only be envious and jealous, sighing at He Liang's good luck, and a lover will eventually become a family.

But when the people who leaned on the Red Mansion heard the news, they regretted it greatly.

You must know that Ruiyun is the signboard that Yihong Mansion is ready to support, and the future Oiran, but just when he was about to pick up customers to make money, something happened and he was ransomed by He Liang with a mere thirty taels of silver!

This amount of money is not enough to redeem a worst-level **!

When Aunt Hong, the old bustard in the Red Mansion, heard the news, she was so angry that she couldn't even eat. At the same time, I was unwilling to suffer a big loss like this.

When He Liang ransomed Ruiyun, he also took Ruiyun's deed of sale, and she wanted to snatch Ruiyun back, which was basically impossible.

But there is nothing difficult in this world, only afraid of those who have a heart.

Aunt Hong has been in Qinglou all her life, all kinds of people have seen it, and she has experienced all kinds of situations, and she has not just done unreasonable things once.

As long as you really want to do something, you can always come up with a way.

......

......

On this day, Xu Xian finally practiced many times, brewed for a long time, and after writing two pieces of good rice paper, he finally wrote a satisfactory calligraphy.

The word says: After all, in the middle of June in the West Lake, the scenery is not the same as the four seasons, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red!

Twenty-eight characters are calligraphy, the style is peaceful and natural, the gesture is euphemistic and subtle, beautiful and beautiful, it is the director of Xu Xianji's previous life, combined with his own calligraphy, different from the charm and style of any calligrapher in the Dali Dynasty.

The content of the word is another masterpiece about the West Lake.

Regarding the poems of the West Lake, since two hand-me-downs have been taken out, why not take out the third one, and really write the poems of the West Lake, and in the future, they will really be as famous as the West Lake.

He just looked at the few pieces of good rice paper on Xu Xian's desk, and said in surprise: "Hanwen, have you made a fortune recently?

In the Dali Dynasty, the price of ordinary straw paper was average, but the price of rice paper was expensive. The price of a piece of rice paper with a minimum size of four feet is also 30 yuan. Even if you are rich, you rarely use rice paper to practice calligraphy.

Xu Xian said while packing up the written rice paper: "Of course, I can't use rice paper to practice calligraphy, I am preparing to frame this character." Well...... Don't think too much about it, I didn't frame it and hang it in my own home, it was a stinky one, I was going to take it to the calligraphy and painting store to consign. ”

Xu Xian knew that this fat man's brain circuit was different from ordinary people, so he directly explained the situation.

"That's right. He Liang nodded and said, "Your calligraphy in Chinese is getting better and better, and I feel that this pair of characters has a lot of charm, and it seems that it has surpassed me!"

Xu Xian smiled and didn't speak, the fat man began to feel good about himself again.

However, Ruiyun couldn't help but glance at him, and said bluntly: "Xu Gongzi's handwriting already has everyone's style, okay? It's much better than yours! If your handwriting can have half of Xu Gongzi's attainments, I won't let you practice half an hour's handwriting every day." ”

"Is that so?" He Liang scratched his head a little embarrassed, he didn't have much research on calligraphy, and he still stayed at the most basic level of good looks and bad looks, and he didn't know anything deeper. So he blinked and asked, "How much is the Chinese character worth?"

Hearing He Liang ask, Xu Xian couldn't help but look at Ruiyun curiously. He is already quite accomplished in calligraphy, but he really doesn't know about the market of calligraphy and painting. Ruiyun has received professional training in this area in Yihong House before, and should know best.

After Ruiyun's valuation, he also had a bottom in his heart.

Ruiyun frowned and thought for a while before he said: "Although Xu Gongzi's words are good, he is still only a child, and his fame is still limited to the area of Hangzhou Mansion, and it has not been spread. Calligraphy and painting are usually linked to the owner's fame and identity. Therefore, although Xu Gongzi's current words are good, I am afraid that he will not be able to sell them at a high price, and I am afraid that it will only be three or five taels of silver at most. Of course, if this pair of characters is put for a period of time, after Xu Gongzi is admitted to the lifting of people and even jinshi, he will become famous all over the world, and the price of this pair of words will increase many times. ”

Ruiyun said very optimistically, calligraphy and painting are different from other things, and it does have a lot to do with the master's fame.

But He Liang was taken aback when he heard this, and exclaimed, "What? Chinese characters are already so expensive, a piece of writing costs three or five taels of silver, and it will be multiplied many times in the future?"

"I haven't finished yet...... Ruiyun continued: "I'm just talking about words, but Xu Gongzi's words are not just words, this is also a new famous poem, I can't get the exact price, there are too many factors." But what I can be sure of is that Xu Gongzi's character is bought in a calligraphy and painting shop, and when he meets someone who knows the goods, he will not hesitate to take out a hundred taels of silver!"

"One hundred taels!" He Liang was just surprised just now, but now he jumped up directly, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, right?"

One hundred taels is definitely a huge amount of money in the Dali Dynasty, and most families don't have so much savings in their lives!

Xu Xian was also a little surprised, his goal in his heart was to be able to buy thirty taels of silver for a word, which would be considered very good.

Ruiyun nodded firmly: "This price is not high!"

Seeing this, He Liang stopped talking, pondered carefully, and Youzai carefully observed Xu Xian's writing, and then said, "I still can't believe it." ”

A painting of one hundred taels of silver is really a bit scary, it can really be called a 'golden house' in the book! It is not the calligraphy of the great Confucian of the dynasty!

Ruiyun chuckled: "Then you will believe it when Xu Gongzi sells it." ”

He Liang snorted and said unconvinced: "Then wait until it is sold." ”

He knew that Xu Xian was very powerful, but this matter was indeed a little beyond his knowledge and understanding.

So, the three of them went to the largest calligraphy and painting shop in Qiantang County together, and the price was 100 taels for the owner to help consign.

The shopkeeper heard that Xu Xian was a child of this government test, and saw that this pair of characters was indeed a high-quality product, and he was very happy at first, hoping that Xu Xian could take more pen and ink to his store to sell in the future.

He would charge a commission for consignment of paintings and calligraphy in his shop. If Xu Xian's words sell well, he can also make more money.

But when Xu Xian said the price, the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop was directly stunned.

He thinks the same as He Liang, this pair of characters is very good, but someone who spends ten taels of silver to buy it is generous, and if he can spend twenty or thirty taels of silver, he can be called a fool and a lot of money.

As for the hundred taels of silver...... The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop directly persuaded Xu Xian to reduce the price!

If you need money very much, it's a big deal to write a few more words to buy it. If you buy it on the shelves at this price, there will definitely be no customers willing to sell, but you will only laugh and dislike it!

How can there be such a random price? I want to go crazy for money!

After listening to Ruiyun's suggestion, Xu Xian decisively refused.

He is also confident in his calligraphy and paintings, and there will always be people who know the goods.
