Seeing that He Liang was quite business-minded and wanted to go with himself, Xu Xian couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and said: "You Long, I can't hide it, I have plans to open a calligraphy and painting shop! But I don't plan to open it in Qiantang County, but I am going to go to Hangzhou to study, and then find another opportunity to open it." ”

He Liang nodded and said, "The calligraphy and painting shop should indeed be opened in Hangzhou. Hangzhou Mansion is prosperous, bringing together students from a prefecture, which is much larger than the pattern of Qiantang County. ”

Calligraphy and painting shops are no different from inns and taverns, and the main business objects are naturally readers.

Although there are many scholars in Qiantang County, it is far from Hangzhou Prefecture, and if it is opened in Qiantang County, the upper limit will not be too large.

At this point, He Liang thought of Xu Xian again.

"In that case, You Long, are you interested in partnering with me to open a calligraphy and painting shop?" Xu Xian asked with a smile.

"Partnership?" He Liang was a little stunned.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he thinks that if he opens a calligraphy and painting shop with Xu Xian, then he will be too embarrassed!

Xu Xian can sell two hundred taels of silver with a single word, even if you think about this business with your toes, you know that it is a million profits. With such a good business, what qualifications does he have to participate?

His own calligraphy can't be used to see people, and it's not much better than ghost drawing.

So He Liang truthfully said his thoughts, he must be interested, but he can't take advantage of Xu Xian, and told Xu Xian very seriously that if he runs this calligraphy and painting shop well with his ability, even if he can't go to high school in the imperial examination, he can still be a rich and wealthy grandfather in the future!

Hearing He Liang say this, Xu Xian was even more sure of his thoughts, and said: "You Long, you think too much, this time a word can be sold for two hundred taels of silver, it is pure luck." The main reason for this is because of my poems, not my calligraphy. Is it possible that I will be able to write such an amazing poem every day in the future?"

"But ......"

Xu Xian interrupted him and said, "I know what you want to say. That's right, even if you don't sell poetry, just sell calligraphy and paintings, I believe it should be no problem to make money, but the profit is definitely not as terrifying as you think. ”

"And I don't know anything about opening a store, and the main purpose of my going to Hangzhou Mansion is to study, so if you don't partner with me to open a store, I will inevitably find someone else." ”

"I'm looking for an outsider, but I'd better be looking for you. You say yes, right?"

Now He Liang didn't speak again.

Xu Xian's words convinced him.

Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, if Xu Xian must find a partner to open a store, He Liang will naturally not give this opportunity to others.

So He Liang was persuaded by Xu Xian and pulled on the boat.

However, in terms of shares, He Liang resolutely refused to ask for more, and only accounted for one percent.

Even if you really can't take advantage of your friends, you definitely can't take too much of them. He Liang usually has a big personality and a little surprised brain circuits, but in this regard, he is quite bottom-lined, and he has nothing to say about righteousness.

......

......

When Xu Xian got home, her sister Xu Jiaorong was cleaning, and asked casually about the situation of selling words, but she didn't pay too much attention to it, but Xu Xian answered honestly.

And then......

Xu Jiaorong looked at a silver ticket of one hundred taels, a silver ticket of fifty taels, and three ingots and ten taels of silver ingots on the table, a total of one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and fell into a sluggish state.

looked at Xu Xian, and then looked at the silver and silver tickets on the table, and was speechless for a long time.

It was originally two hundred taels of silver, but it was taken out by the calligraphy and painting shop, and only one hundred and eighty taels of silver remained.

"Hanwen, is this true?"

Xu Jiaorong felt like she was in a dream.

At the beginning of this year, she was still working hard for more than a dozen yuan, and her hands were covered with frostbite.

But it didn't take long for his younger brother Xu Xian to change a lot. Not only did he pass the government examination to become a child, but he was also the head of the case, and today, he wrote a painting and sold it for a sky-high price of 200 taels of silver!

"Sister, it's really ......" Xu Xian told the reason for selling his words, and he said it again, so that Xu Jiaorong finally reluctantly accepted this fact.

After accepting the facts, Xu Jiaorong was a little difficult again.

What should be done with so much money? Although this is the money earned by his younger brother Xu Xian himself, but with such a large amount of money, he can't let all of his 'little children' take it with him, right?

So, Xu Jiaorong was ready to save most of the money.

After weighing and thinking for a long time, Xu Jiaorong handed over the three silver ingots to Xu Xian and said, "Hanwen, you take these thirty taels of silver with you and use them when you go to Hangzhou Mansion to study." Although you are a student, you don't have to pay tuition, and there are subsidies, but there are many places to spend money on studying, and you will not be shy if you need anything. ”

Looking at the remaining one hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets, Xu Jiaorong said with a smile: "As for the one hundred and fifty taels of silver, I will hand it over to my sister to help you keep it, and keep it for your daughter-in-law in the future......"

Xu Xian was sweating, it is estimated that there are too many matchmakers who have come to the door to propose marriage recently, although Xu Jiaorong has made up her mind to wait for another two years to talk to Xu Xian about marrying a daughter-in-law, but she still can't forget it.

"Sister, here's the thing......" Xu Xian hurriedly said that he was going to open a calligraphy and painting shop.

If Xu Xian had put forward such an idea in the past, Xu Jiaorong would definitely refuse without thinking about it, and maybe he would have started to educate. But the changes in Xu Xian these days have also changed in Xu Jiaorong's heart.

This change is not the depth of feelings, but the degree of trust.

In the past, Xu Xian didn't do anything more, and he needed Xu Jiaorong to worry about everything for him, but now he doesn't need to.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Xu Jiaorong nodded, handed over all the silver to Xu Xian to deal with, and said seriously: "Do whatever you want, my sister supports you!"

In the end, Xu Xian only brought one hundred and thirty taels of silver, leaving fifty taels of silver for his sister Xu Jiaorong.

A few days later, there were only two days left to report on the school, and Xu Xian and He Liang went to Hangzhou Fucheng again.

It's just that last time the two of them went to the exam, they were quite apprehensive, and this time they went to school, and they were proud in their hearts.

Hangzhou Academy is not top-notch in the entire Jiangnan region, and only belongs to the lower middle level, let alone the entire Dali Dynasty. Just like Yang Zi'an, the son of Yang Zhixian before, he went directly to Jinling after being admitted to Xiucai, and was unwilling to stay in Fuxue.

But after all, Hangzhou Academy is a government school and has many official resources, which is more than a step better than ordinary private academies.

Therefore, as long as you want to make a difference in the road of the imperial examination, Tongsheng and Xiucai will enter the government to study.

Before Xu Xian returned to Qiantang County half a month ago, he had already gone through the admission procedures, and after arriving at the academy this time, the number house had already been allocated, so he just moved in with his bag. He Liang was so envious when he saw this, he still had to carry the package and go through various procedures.
