The other people who copied books in the Wei family bookstore shared a room with more than one person, but Yanjing was different, he was alone in a room.
At this moment, he was standing at the desk writing.
Ordinary people in Donggu County wear shorts and trousers. If the family is not rich, even women wear trousers. After all, this is convenient and saves money. Wearing an extra skirt over the trousers must be more expensive. In floral fabric.
But rich people are more particular about their clothes. Women must wear skirts, while men usually wear long gowns.
Of course, different identities have different dresses, and they will also be worn with vests and the like.
Yan Jing is not rich.
After the weather got cold, he had someone make himself a padded jacket and a pair of padded trousers. Now he is wearing the padded jacket and trousers, standing by the table and writing.
Because he was too tall, he had to bend down a lot.
All in all, very unimpressive.
Li Xiucai and others were very speechless, but at this moment, Yan Jing wrote!
This time, he chose a large piece of paper, followed by a pen, and then wrote a poem: "The river and mountains are thousands of miles away, and the universe is clear. When the four seas come to the purple air, good fortune takes the lead."
Previously, Yanjing wrote in small characters, but this time, he wrote in large characters.
The writing style of small and large characters is different, so I feel a little dissatisfied after finishing the writing.
However, Li Xiucai and others were already stunned.
This is a big word, and it can be recognized!
He also wrote such good words!
This word is powerful and majestic, and the person who wrote it must be a broad-minded person.
Li Xiucai and others looked at Yan Jingze and couldn't help but wonder - could it be that what they heard about Yan Da was false
Stunned for a while, Li Xiucai and others were about to praise when they heard Yan Jingze say, "This word is not well written..."
After speaking, Yan Jing picked up the pen and changed a piece of paper to write again.
After writing, Yan Jing was still not satisfied, so he wrote it a third time.
Li Xiucai and others: "..." They thought that this person wrote it well enough for the first time, but in the end... can it be written better
A lot of calligraphy people can write good works, but it depends on the right time, place and people. As a result, this person... Why is he so casual
"Mr. Li, what kind of calligraphy do you want? If that doesn't work, I can copy the book for you." Yan Jing said, "As long as you are willing to vouch for me."
"You... copy books?" Li Xiucai asked.
"Yes, I have been copying books in the bookstore recently to support my family." Yan Jing pointed to the papers he just copied next to him.
Li Xiucai waited until he saw what Yan Jingze had copied, and said, "Bastard! Ruin!"
"This is such a good word, you actually used it to copy the book!"
"This kind of calligraphy is rare!"
…
Yan Jing immediately asked, "My words are very valuable? Do you want to buy them?"
Li Xiucai and others: "..." They said that Qianjin is just an analogy. As a scholar, can you not talk about tacky money
Of course, even though they thought so, Li Xiucai and others still said without hesitation, "I want to buy it!"
But... They thought that the person who copied the "Three Character Classic" was a calligraphy master, so they were willing to pay a high price, now...
After some bargaining, Yan Jing finally offered a price of twenty cents a word for writing the entire book in large characters, fifty cents a word.
In this way, the "Three Character Classic" he wrote will be twenty-two!
At this time, the amount of silver taels to be exchanged for copper coins will vary depending on the price of silver, but generally more than a thousand taels can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and twenty-two taels are twenty-two taels of silver.
This is to send!
Of course, these people didn't let him write the "Three Character Classic", so Li Xiucai took out a collection of his poems and asked him to transcribe it, and someone else took out his own strategies and asked him to transcribe it.
Of the five scholars who came this time, everyone had something they wanted him to write, and by the way, he also asked him to write some big characters—basically, some words of blessing.
Yanjing wrote as soon as he picked up the pen, and wrote Li Xiucai first.
While writing, Yan Jing asked the others, "Do you want to change the font?" Listening to what these people say, they are going to take these things to give gifts and ask others for advice. Everyone gives the same thing, will they? not too good
"Don't be distracted." Li Xiucai said, and after speaking, he realized that even though Yan Jing was talking, his handwriting was still very good and very fast. That speed... really enviable!
At this time, it takes nine days for a person to take the township examination. In addition to the many questions, it also has something to do with everyone's slow writing.
Most people do not pay attention to writing well, and they can write very quickly. They can write two thousand words in an hour, but if they want to write properly, they can write a thousand words in one hour.
But what about this person in front of you
The brush moved so fast in his hand that at this speed, he could write three or four thousand words in an hour!
Yanjing is still at a speed of four thousand words per hour. If he writes five hours a day, he can write twenty thousand words.
Now a word of twenty words, that is four hundred lines.
Readers really make a lot of money!
Yanjing felt that if someone was willing to buy it, he would be willing to write until the end of the world.
"Can you change the font?" someone asked.
"If there is a copybook for me to refer to, I can follow it." Yan Jing said, "There are copybooks in the bookstore."
Several scholars looked at each other in dismay, and immediately said that they wanted to change the font - they all planned to use this word to give gifts to Lord Zhou, preferably different.
They were looking for copybooks.
Yan Jing quickly finished copying Li Xiucai's poetry collection, and then began to learn from other copybooks.
He has been copying books a lot recently, and the brush seems to have become a part of his body, and he can write whatever characters he wants to write!
At this time, after reading the copybook and practicing, he immediately changed the font and wrote the next policy.
Then learn another font...
Yan Jing took it very seriously. After all, these are things that can be used to make money in the future!
And those talented people, they have nothing to say at this time.
All of them are the favored sons of heaven, and they think they are very powerful, but after a few days of learning, an illiterate gangster can far surpass them.
They all began to wonder if they were too stupid.
No, no, it's definitely not that they are too stupid, it's definitely that this bastard is too powerful.
This isn't a gangster either... They don't have the nerve to call others gangsters, and they all want to bow down...
As they were writing, Magistrate Zhu came in from outside.
When Magistrate Zhu came to the bookstore, he felt a little regretful.
After listening to a few arrests, he came to look for the gangster Yan Da.
That Yan Da has been asked, but he never went to school. How could such a person copy books in a bookstore!
Copying a book is not that easy!
But they all came... When the magistrate Zhu saw that there was only one guy outside to greet the guests, he asked, "Where's your shopkeeper?"
"Several scholars have come, and the shopkeeper has taken them to the backyard." Ji said.
How many talented people came to this bookstore? You can go have a look then. The magistrate Zhu walked to the backyard immediately with his entourage.
As soon as he got to the backyard, he saw some paper hanging on a few bonsais in the yard.
The newly written words could not be stacked together, they needed to be dried first, so Li Xiucai and the others put the paper that Yan Jingze had copied and hung it around.
"Good words!" Magistrate Zhu walked over and glanced at the words on the paper, and couldn't help but marvel. What shocked him even more was that when he picked up a piece of paper, he found that the ink was not dry!
The magistrate Zhu is a jinshi, and he has come into contact with a lot of scholars, but he has never met a few who can write such good characters.
Seeing Lie Xinxi, Magistrate Zhu wanted to chat with someone who wrote, but at this moment, he saw another piece of paper.
The words on that piece of paper were different from the ones he had seen before, but they were the same good words!
Wait, there's a third script here.
This is... There are three calligraphers, competing in calligraphy here
The more he thought about it, the more excited the magistrate Zhu became, and some of them spurned the things written by these calligraphers.
This poem is full of ingenuity and unremarkable, it really can't catch his eye!
Also, this policy theory does not pay attention to practicality, but is actually an opinion pieced together from some widely circulated policy theories!
Those few calligraphers are good at calligraphy, but their knowledge is average...
Magistrate Zhu was thinking so, when Li Xiucai came out to dry the paper again.
"Master Zhu?" Li Xiucai hurriedly bowed when he saw the magistrate Zhu. When a scholar sees a person with an official position like the county magistrate, he does not need to kneel and worship, but he still has to behave like a scholar.
The magistrate of Zhu met Li Xiucai, a young student: "You are... You wrote this?" Li Xiucai's words are so outstanding? Why is it not famous
"Master Zhu, these are not written by me." Li Xiucai said.
"Who wrote that?" asked the magistrate Zhu.
"Master Zhu, have you... heard of Yan Da?" Li Xiucai asked.
"What's wrong with him?" Zhu County magistrate asked, "Could it be that he wrote these?"
"He wrote it, he wrote it all," Li Xiucai said.
Magistrate Zhu: "..." That statement was so powerful that it could not only persuade the arrests, but also Li Xiucai, so that all these people would speak well for him.
What is he trying to do
In any case, the magistrate Zhu did not believe that Yan could write such a good character.
When Li Xiucai saw Magistrate Zhu's appearance, he knew what Magistrate Zhu thought, and immediately said, "Sir, you can go in and have a look."
Zhuxian Ling glanced suspiciously at Li Xiucai, and followed Li Xiucai into the house.
Then, he saw a vulgar man in a sackcloth jacket, writing something at his desk, because he was so focused on writing that he hadn't noticed his arrival.
Yan Jing actually found out that the magistrate Zhu had arrived, but he was white now. When he saw the magistrate wanted to kneel, he didn't really want to kneel, so he just pretended to be invisible...
Yan Jing continued to copy the book.
Magistrate Zhu leaned over to take a look and was stunned.
This man's hands are extremely rough, not like the hands of a pampered scholar at all, but his writing...
This word exceeds the vast majority of readers!
More importantly, the person in front of him was no accident, it should be Yan Da, the one who kidnapped the young master of the Wei family.
He was talking nonsense when he used to be the county government's catcher, isn't it
This is a big word, how can you write such a good word
He's not a bully at all, is he? Have you been eavesdropping outside the school since you were a child, dedicated to learning
The magistrate Zhu was shocked, while Yan Jing finished writing another piece of paper.
Putting the paper aside, Yan Jing looked at the magistrate Zhu: "Twenty words a word... Do you want it?"
