"Oh! The key is the word "lost" or I will become a famous person! At that time, this one is just a character, without fifty taels of silver, don't even think about it!"
The young scholar signaled the words he had just written and said loudly.
"Ha ha......"
Lin Xu was amused and laughed loudly. This guy really became more and more interested in him!
"In the morning of Lin Xu, what do you call me?"
"Zhang Wenchang!"
Lin Xu nodded, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Previously, in order to bring Yang Dingyuan under his command, he bet to write a drama of amazing talents, namely "Peony Pavilion"!
Although he is very familiar with "Peony Pavilion", the whole play of "Peony Pavilion" has 55 episodes, with more than 200,000 words. Even if he is given a computer, he doesn't have the patience to type it out word by word, let alone not
I said I wrote it with a brush!
Therefore, he planned to oral the "Peony Pavilion" and then find a writer to write it on his behalf. Finally, he would review the manuscript.
As long as you are willing to spend money and want to find a scholar to write for you, it is simply too simple. In fact, there are many scholars from poor families who usually make a living by copying books.
At this moment, because the scholar who made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings was very much in his appetite, he had the idea of bringing this scholar under his command!
So he smiled softly and said, "Brother Wang, I happen to have a book writing job here. I earn much more than you can set up a stall and sell calligraphy and paintings here. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Writing a book? Copying a book, right?"
"It's not a copying book, because the book I asked you to write does not exist in this world."
"oh?"
Zhang Wenchang looked at Lin Xu with confusion: "You don't want me to create a book by myself, right? Thank you for your high opinion. I write some words and paintings, but writing books, haha, I think to myself
Don't have this ability yet!"
"You don't need to think about it yourself, I will tell you and you will write it on your behalf, how about it?"
"You asked me to write for you?"
"Yes, what about a thousand words and ten taels of silver?"
Lin Xu has learned about the market. Even if scholars copy books, even in high-quality fonts, the price per thousand words is usually only one tael of silver. Lin Xu directly offered a price of ten times, which is very generous!
However, after listening to Lin Xu's offer, Zhang Wenchang laughed: "Thousand characters are ten taels of silver! This price is indeed very sincere! However, although I, Zhang Wenchang, are so depressed that I make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, I will not do it for the sake of
Do everything!”
"Is it a matter of a scholar copying a book a lot? What is the difference between what I asked you to do and copying a book?"
"Of course there is a difference! The scholars copied either the books of sages or popular words nowadays, and they are valuable in short! But how do I know what you are saying? If you are saying something meaningless,
Then even if you give me a thousand words and a thousand taels of silver, I will not be interested at all! Although I am poor, I am unwilling to grab money, and I am even more unwilling to waste my time!"
Hearing Zhang Wenchang speak so arrogantly, Xia Dahai refused to obey him: "You, a down-and-out scholar, dare you look down on my husband? Do you know how talented my husband is? There is a beautiful woman in the south. Have you ever heard of this poem? The sea was once so difficult to make water.
Have you heard of the poem again? These two poems were written by my husband! Can you write them?!"
Thanks to the hype of some unknown forces, the two poems written by Lin Xu in the Golden Phoenix Tower that day have become popular throughout Suzhou Prefecture. As long as people who know a little about writing and writing, there is basically no one who doesn’t know these two poems.
Poetry!
Even those peddlers who are not familiar with literature know this poem!
"There are beautiful women in the south, peerless and independent! A smile that will fade the city, and a smile that will fade the country! Once the vast sea of water is hard, but the Wushan Mountain is not clouds. I will take the flowers and look back at it, and I will be half a matter of practicing Taoism and half a matter of you!"
Zhang Wenchang shook his head and recited these two poems again, then looked at Lin Xu in surprise and admiration, and said, "Are you written these two poems? Are you Mr. Lin Xulin from Jiangling County?!
”
"That's right, it's Lin Xu."
Lin Xu smiled softly, and sighed in his heart that it is different to have fame. No matter what occasion, just report your own name and you will immediately gain a wave of admiration! This chapter has been completed!
