If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop came to the door in person today, Xu Xian almost couldn't remember that he had a piece of writing in the calligraphy and painting shop for consignment.

Xu Jiaorong and He Da's shopkeeper didn't know the inside story, thinking that it was just an ordinary calligraphy and painting business, nothing unusual, since the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop came to the door, Xu Xian followed and went back quickly.

Xu Xian didn't tell the inside story, he was going to go to the calligraphy and painting shop first, and then come back to tell his sister in detail when the words were really sold and the money was in hand.

Otherwise, if something happens halfway through, the word is not sold, and it is also a very embarrassing thing.

However, He Liang was different, he was personally present when he consigned the words that day.

This is not an ordinary calligraphy and painting business, but a piece of calligraphy priced at a hundred taels of silver!

He Liang felt that a hundred taels of silver was already incredible, ridiculously expensive, and it was absolutely impossible to sell it.

But now, someone wants to buy it?

And it's double!

Are you kidding!

He Liang was amazed in his heart, wanting to see what kind of person had so much money that he couldn't spend it, and he spent so much money to buy subwords!

He didn't have time to explain too much, and immediately the fat body took light steps, chased him out with a smoke, and shouted: "Hanwen, wait for me, I'll go and see with you!"

The shopkeeper led the way in front, and Xu Xian and He Liang walked side by side and followed behind.

Not to mention that He Liang felt surprised, even Xu Xian himself felt strange.

He did not doubt that his calligraphy could be sold for a hundred taels of silver, after all, his calligraphy was already considered an entry, and it showed a little bit of everyone's demeanor, and the poem he mentioned was a hand-me-down work, and the combination of the two was not too expensive.

But the point is, he clearly set a hundred taels of silver, why would anyone be willing to pay double the price to buy it? This is illogical and strange.

So Xu Xian asked the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop on the road what was going on, and he had to prepare first.

The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop didn't run anymore, took a breath a little, and said first: "The son who wants to buy your painting should not be from our Qiantang County, I have never seen him before." ”

Qiantang County is not big, and there are very few sons who can visit calligraphy and painting shops and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy calligraphy and paintings. If Duan Gongzi is from Qiantang County, it is impossible for the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop not to know him.

Xu Xian nodded, it was an outsider.

"The reason why he is willing to pay you two hundred taels of silver for this painting is because he has an additional condition, that is, you must come forward to sell the painting to him in person, and if you are not there, he will not buy it. In other words, one hundred taels of silver is one hundred taels to see you and know you. The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop continued.

"Spend a hundred taels of silver just to get to know me?"

Xu Xian's eyes widened, feeling a little funny.

It's only been a long time, could it be that his reputation has reached the point of having 'fans'?

In the Dali Dynasty, the famous talented poets were indeed very sought after, and it was not so strange that some people were willing to spend a lot of money just to meet each other.

For example, Li Pan, the current No. 1 talent in Jiangnan, although his career is hopeless, there are still countless people who worship him, and I don't know how many beautiful ladies and ladies regard him as 'the person they like'.

On weekdays, ordinary people spend thousands of dollars and it is rare to see the top singer Oiran, I don't know how many invitations to Li Pan are willing to recommend their own pillows.

White-clothed, but that's it.

After a while, the calligraphy and painting shop arrived, and Xu Xian He Liang followed the shopkeeper into the house and met the buyer 'Duan Gongzi' in the lounge.

The two sides greeted each other first, and at the same time that the other party looked at Xu Xian, Xu Xian was also looking at them.

This Duan Gongzi looks delicate and handsome, has a romantic atmosphere, and his eyebrows and demeanor are a little prodigal. But under his seemingly frivolous appearance, it feels unspeakably expensive.

Even if he is not wearing this brocade nocturnal costume, this kind of extravagance is estimated to be difficult to hide, and it is by no means comparable to a gentleman like Yang Zi'an.

"It can't be some kind of prince and nobleman, right?" Xu Xian thought in his heart.

However, no matter what the identity of this Duan Gongzi is, it has nothing to do with him, the two are now buyers and sellers, as long as the other party is willing to pay for his words.

Duan Gongzi is not a person who sells Guanzi slowly, and after seeing Xu Xian, he paid quite happily, and he didn't blink his eyes for two hundred taels of silver.

Seeing this scene, the most shocking person was He Liang.

Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is enough to buy a house in the best area of Qiantang County! Ordinary people will not be able to save so much silver in their lifetime!

What seemed impossible to He Liang really happened.

After being shocked, looking at the silver ticket in Xu Xian's hand, he couldn't help but whisper with some hot eyes: "Hanwen, I not only admire you now, but also envy you a little." ”

"If you are envious, then listen to your family Ruiyun's words, and work hard to read books and practice calligraphy on weekdays. Xu Xian said with a smile. "There are thousands of Zhongsu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book!"

He Liang was in shock, and didn't pay much attention to what Xu Xian said, but Duan Gongzi next to him listened to it, and his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he clapped his hands and praised: "What a book, there is a thousand Zhongsu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book!"

"It is worthy of the poetic talent through the ages, Xu Xian Xu Hanwen, it is really a wonderful sentence, I have to admire! As soon as this sentence comes out, the famous sentences of encouragement throughout the ages are dwarfed, and it will inevitably become the standard of encouragement for students all over the world in the future!"

Hearing that Xu Xian made such a classic and famous sentence on the spot, Duan Gongzi was even happier and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"However, these three witty sentences are not poems, there should be above or below, right? I wonder if Xu Gongzi will be able to write this poem in its entirety, and the price will be open. Duan Gongzi looked forward to it.

"Uh......" Xu Xian thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I only made these three sentences, and I didn't have a complete poem." ”

Xu Xian didn't mind selling another piece of calligraphy, it was naturally good to make more money.

It's just that this "Encouragement of Learning", although it has also been sung on the earth for thousands of years, and the classics are undoubted, but Xu Xian does not agree with the meaning of it.

In this poem, the purpose of reading has evolved into an excessive pursuit of glory, wealth, fame and fortune.

Even for many poor children, the imperial examination is the best, or even the only way out, which is understandable.

However, the pursuit of a scholar should not be just the Golden House and Yan Ruyu, there should be others.

If you just blindly pursue the 'beauty of the golden house', and forget that the primary purpose of a gentleman's reading is to 'correct himself', then the atmosphere of the scholar will be crooked, and it is inevitable that there will be many tragedies like 'Fan Jinzhongju'.

"That's a shame. Duan Gongzi said with a regretful face.

If Xu Xian made this poem completely today, he was going to make a big publicity after returning to Beijing, and he would inevitably be regarded as a classic by readers all over the world, and he believed that the fame that this poem brought to Xu Xian was much greater than a few poems about Yongxi Lake!
