It was still the same square table. Today Shen Fengming taught several people how to write. First, he taught them how to hold a pen, then some precautions when writing, and finally, all that was left was practice.
It was his first time holding a brush. The tip of the brush was soft and it was hard to control the strength. Jiang Lin wrote with a crooked hand. Jiang Yunxue was better than him and wrote steadily.
Jiang Wu accidentally left a few large ink spots on the paper, and he clenched his pen nervously. He knew that the paper and pen were very expensive, and he was afraid that he would not write well and the older brother would be angry.
"Boy, don't be anxious. This thing will be fine if it is well written. If it is not well written, it will not affect your meal." Yang Sheng patted his shoulder, feeling like he was meeting a kindred spirit.
His handwriting was very ugly. Several great scholars forced him to practice, and they almost helped him write by hand, but he still wrote it in a flourish. It was not a beautiful flourish, but a sloppy one, like weeds blown over by the wind.
Shen Fengming glanced at him and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, get out."
Yang Sheng touched his nose and went out. He didn’t want to go out.
Jiang Wu seemed to be comforted by him. The hand holding the pen no longer shook so much, and he could write a simple word.
Jiang Yunzhu was literate, and she had even practiced calligraphy seriously for two years in Anping Marquis' Mansion in her dream, so she did not write the whole word for fear that Shen Fengming would see the clue.
She only wrote horizontal strokes, which were a little crooked at first, then became smooth, and then she tried her best to learn Shen Fengming's handwriting in details.
She wrote very seriously, her body slightly leaning forward, her brows lowered and her lips pursed, her soft profile and slender neck forming a graceful curve.
Yang Sheng sat aside and watched, admiring the scene. He had always believed that beauties should be dressed in brocade and red, with red and green coverings, as if sitting on the clouds, but he did not expect that in this humble room, there would be a different kind of interest.
As he watched, he noticed something different. Was Jiang Yunzhu's arm touching Shen Fengming's arm
His posture did not change, but his eyes became brighter.
According to his observation, he was definitely touched. This discovery was very important. That was Shen Fengming. Let alone others, even if he touched him, he would be immediately pushed away in disgust. Now
Do they know their arms are touching
The square table was not that big and there were six people sitting on it. Jiang Yunzhu was practicing calligraphy so seriously that she naturally didn't notice what her arm hit.
Shen Fengming noticed it. He noticed when Jiang Yunzhu’s arm moved over. The first time, he moved his arm back slightly. The second time, he withdrew his hand gently and did not disturb Jiang Yunzhu. The third time, he did not move.
Yang Sheng naturally saw his movements and could hardly believe his eyes. Has this ten thousand year old ice finally come to his senses
It was so joyful that it made people cry. If Princess Danyang knew, I wonder how happy she would be!
He was just wondering how to help his friends when he heard voices outside.
"Aunt Chen, is Yunzhu at home?" Xu Qingshan came in from outside with Gu Yanzhou.
"She's here." Chen was mending an old dress in the yard. Upon hearing this, she quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Why, do you want to see her for something? Oh, Yanzhou is here too."
Gu Yanzhou is the son of Gu Yongde, who has helped the Jiang family a lot. Gu Yanzhou himself is a scholar and is good-looking, so Chen likes him very much.
"Something happened." Xu Qingshan looked into the hall.
The door to the central hall was open, and he could see Jiang Yunzhu sitting at a square table, and the two grain merchants, one sitting very close to her, and the other sitting opposite her but staring at her with shining eyes, obviously with bad intentions.
"Brother Xu." Jiang Yunzhu heard the voice, stood up, and saw Xu Qingshan and Gu Yanzhou.
Her gaze froze for a moment.
Gu Yanzhou, she had seen him twice. The first time was at the doorstep of the village chief's house, and the second time was when he and the village chief came to her house for dinner. Both times she only had a quick glance at him, and at that time she did not expect that he was the man in the top scholar case in her dream.
Looking back at it now, I can’t help but think of a lot of things.
If it weren't for what happened eleven days later, he would have been the top scholar who became famous overnight, with a happy family and a bright future.
But in his dream, his relatives were killed first, and then he was displaced. He didn't know what kind of suffering he went through before he wrote such a heart-wrenching article four years later.
Where did he go in the end? No one knows. The power struggle in the court has always been cruel. Whether he continued to lie dormant, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow Shen Fengming, or was killed, there is no way to know.
But it's a thorny road covered in blood.
He was probably not the same person he is now.
What about now? If I can change this fate in eleven days...
Jiang Yunzhu felt heavy in her heart, for herself and for all the people in Changshi Village.
She kept staring at Gu Yanzhou, who found it strange. Does this girl like to stare at people so much? That time, she looked him up and down, and this time, she stared at him even more.
Gu Yanzhou is a well-behaved man, and many girls secretly look at him, but none of them is like Jiang Yunzhu.
He also looked at her twice.
Jiang Yunzhu was wearing an ordinary smoky-colored dress today, with no makeup on her face and no hairpins on her head. But even with her black hair half tied up, her features were as picturesque as a painting and she was stunningly beautiful.
Especially when she frowned slightly, her sparkling eyes seemed to contain infinite thoughts, which made people want to explore it.
Xu Qingshan stood by, looking at Jiang Yunzhu and then at Gu Yanzhou, feeling very satisfied.
He was happy, so naturally someone was unhappy. Yang Sheng looked at Gu Yanzhou and frowned slightly. It was undeniable that this man was handsome and a great man, but... He became irritated and poked Shen Fengming with his arm.
Shen Fengming was also looking after Yanzhou, but there seemed to be nothing strange on his face.
"Come in and sit down." Chen said.
Xu Qingshan and Gu Yanzhou entered the house.
"What is this?" Xu Qingshan asked when he saw a lot of paper and pens on the square table in the room.
"This young man is teaching Yunzhu and the others how to read." Chen explained.
"So that's how it is. Actually, Yunzhu, if you want to learn to read, you can also learn from Yanzhou. Why bother two young masters from the capital? Besides, they won't stay here for long, right?" Xu Qingshan said.
Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It sounded like these words were directed at them!
"Who is this?" he asked Gu Yanzhou.
Chen introduced the two parties to each other: Gu Yanzhou, who was very well-educated, and Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming, two young men who came from the capital to sell grain.
"So you are a scholar. In that case, you should study hard at home and wait for the imperial examination next year. How can you have time to teach others how to read?" Yang Sheng said with a smile.
Xu Qingshan was slightly stunned when he heard this. He just wanted Jiang Yunzhu to stay away from these two people, but he actually forgot that Gu Yanzhou was pressed for time.
Gu Yanzhou smiled. Although he didn't know the origins of these two young masters, he would definitely help his cousin. So he said, "Participating in the imperial examination is to serve the court, but helping relatives and neighbors is also a small kindness. If you don't do small kindness, how can you do big things
What's more, teaching people to read and learn, reviewing the old and learning the new, may help me understand the true meaning of the Master's words.
Does this gentleman say yes or no?"
He used moral principles to pressure others, and Yang Sheng didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, this man looked gentle but was actually very smart.
"I'm just afraid of wasting your time," he said.
"It doesn't waste much time. Otherwise, you two grain merchants should be in a hurry, so how would you have time to teach people to read and write. From this point of view, it really doesn't take much time." Gu Yanzhou said.
Yang Sheng was choked. What did he say? He said it was a waste of time, so why didn't they think it was a waste of time? He said it was not a waste of time, didn't he agree with what Gu Yanzhou said? Gu Yanzhou was using his own business to shut him up.
Yang Sheng got excited. Well, if that was the case, he would talk to him properly. He just didn't believe it and he couldn't argue with him!
At this moment, a cool voice said, "Miss Jiang and the others can decide on this matter." It was Shen Fengming.
Yang Sheng and Gu Yanzhou were both stunned. They understood what he meant. What were they arguing about? It was Jiang Yunzhu and the others who were learning calligraphy. They could learn from whoever they wanted. Did they want to force a sale? That didn't make sense.
Gu Yanzhou clenched his fist and coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment. What a shame!
Yang Sheng laughed. He had forgotten that his boss was a man of few words, but if he spoke, he could choke people to death.
Shen Fengming glanced at him.
Yang Sheng put away his smile and sat down.
Now the question fell on Jiang Yunzhu, who should she learn calligraphy from? She naturally wanted to learn from Gu Yanzhou, but Yang Sheng and his family lived at home, and she didn't want Gu Yanzhou to be too involved. If something changed, and the things in the dream changed, she would be caught off guard.
This is how we should proceed with learning Chinese characters.
Xu Qingshan talked about the purpose of his visit today. Didn't Jiang Yunzhu say that he could charge a monthly fee for his services? He wanted to discuss with her how to implement it. If he needed to write anything, he would need Gu Yanzhou's help.
Jiang Yunzhu had a ready idea in mind. She could just make a wooden sign and write the date and name on it. In fact, she could also make another kind of wooden sign with numbers from one to thirty. Every time a customer used it, she would give him a wooden sign with a smaller number.
In fact, this is not considered a monthly package, but a time package, which means if you buy many times at a time, you will be given a discount, which is similar to the modern card application.
Xu Qingshan thought the second method was better and less troublesome.
This matter was quickly explained, and Xu Qingshan said goodbye to Gu Yanzhou and left.
Before the get out of class was over, Jiang Yunzhu continued to practice calligraphy.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice asked, "Miss Jiang, do you like your life now?"
What does this mean? Jiang Yunzhu looked up and saw Shen Fengming looking at her, his eyes were like deep springs and it was hard to tell the depth of his eyes.
A gentle breeze blew, ruffling his hair. Jiang Yunzhu suddenly realized that it was as if she was in the Anping Marquis Mansion in her dream, and he had asked her the same question.
