The rain outside the door showed no sign of stopping, and there were few pedestrians on the still deserted streets. The damp streets, the damp sky, mixed with a slight breeze, are very chilly!
"Buy this character?" Yu Yu was startled when he heard that the man wanted to buy his own Man Jiang Hong. Doudou, who was sitting not far away, was also startled, and then looked at Yu Yu expectantly, thinking of you, Master. Don't be stupid.
"Yes, I really want to buy your character!" The man repeated it again.
"This...not for sale!" Yu Yu smiled slightly, and quickly made a decision. "I won't sell this picture, how much money I will give, seniors, sorry!"
"Hmm..." The man was also startled when he heard Yu Yu's decisive attitude. Doudou heard Yu Yu say not to sell, his anxious face flushed suddenly, and he kept his eyes on Yu Yu. Yu Yu did not see it!
"Haha, well, since it's the little brother's thing, the decision is naturally in your hands. The so-called gentleman does not take people's favor, but I wonder if the little brother can write a copy for me on the spot?"
"Okay, no problem, my young master often said that he is the best at writing!" Before Yu Yu could talk, Doudou quickly stood up and took the man's words and responded.
Yu Yu looked sad, and smiled bitterly at the man, "How can I have a tough maid at home?"
The person was also very tight, haha smiled and said, "In my opinion, brother, you and this girl are not as simple as master and servant, even if they are really master and servant, it is not an ordinary master and servant relationship!"
"Hey" Yu Yu shook his head bitterly, "Peas, be on your side!"
Doudou answered, and trot to the inner room to get ready. No great effort, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are available, tea sets and other items are removed, Yu Yu picks up the pen, and peas grinds the ink.
"I don't know what kind of stickers seniors want?" Yu Yu asked the humanity.
"Whatever you want!" The man stood aside and smiled slightly.
"Okay!" Yu Yu agreed, dipped in ink, and wrote a sentence on the spread out Liyang paper, eight words
"Long sword in hand, I have the world!"
With one wave, it's done in one go!
"Good! Good! Good!" After Yu Yu finished writing those eight words, the middle-aged man standing next to him said three good words in succession, "What a long sword in hand, I have a good word, good momentum in the world. !" After that, when the man looked at Yu Yu again, the expression on his face was not as casual as before.
In fact, Yu Yu was too lazy to write this kind of treasure offering on the spot, but the attitude of that person just now obviously did not believe that Man Jianghong came from his own handwriting. In order to fight for this tone, Yu Yu agreed to write a picture on the spot.
"Little brother, let’s not hide it. I just saw that Man Jianghong couldn’t believe that this character was written by a young man under the age of 16, so I tried it out, but now I believe it! Little brother’s calligraphy is so high, I am ashamed!" The man said sincerely.
Yu Yu closed the pen, put it away, and looked at the man with a slight smile and said, "I wonder how old is the bid?"
Yu Yu thought this was the key, Doudou also looked at the middle-aged man nervously. Although he was ashamed of Yu Yu's naked way of asking prices, he still looked forward to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn’t expect Yu Yu to be so direct. He was taken aback, and then he was relieved,
What’s the price for the little brother?
Yu Yuxin said, old boy, you are in the middle!
As soon as he said "Silver Thousand Taels", Yu Yu felt that he seemed a bit cruel, and immediately added "How?"
"Oh" The middle-aged man was also taken aback. He didn't expect Yu Yu to ask for such a price. You must know that this price is unique in the calligraphy market.
Doudou stayed, and quickly added in a low voice, "It's cheaper, and it can be sold!"
"Haha" The middle-aged man laughed loudly, with a very clean gentleness in his laughter. "I have lived so long, and this is the first time I have met a real temperament like a little brother and a little girl. Okay, a thousand Two is one thousand two!"
"Ah" Doudou's face rose a little red, not because of excitement, but because he felt that his young master was shameless.
Yu Yu was also taken aback, scratching his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Senior, please forgive me for being abrupt. I was a little bit angry. It's okay to be cheaper!"
"Haha, good words, good words!" The middle-aged man ignored Yu Yu and he kept admiring the eight characters on the desktop.
"Sir, haven't you paid for your tea yet?" After receiving a one thousand tael cash, Doudou blushed and whispered timidly when he saw that the middle-aged man was leaving.
The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed again, "Interesting, it's so interesting. It's not in vain today, it's not in vain, little boss, how much is it?"
"Twelve silver!" Doudou lowered his head and whispered.
The middle-aged man was stunned, but he immediately took out a silver coin and handed it to Doudou, "This tea is not cheap!"
After speaking, the man picked up the words in his hand, the words that were still dripping with ink, they dried up in an instant, rolled them up and put them in their sleeves, smiled slightly to Yu Yu, picked up the umbrella, and left quietly Yan Yun Teahouse!
"It's not atmospheric, it's really not atmospheric!" As soon as the middle-aged man left, Yu Yu kept talking about Doudou. Doudou didn't care, holding the one thousand taels of silver ticket, as if he hadn't gotten from just now. The shock was relieved.
"Master, let's sell the characters" Ignoring Yu Yu, Doudou suddenly came.
"Selling characters?" Yu Yu was taken aback, and then annoyed. "How can you sell characters for scholars, calligraphy, calligraphy, you know? Besides, master, how can I not become a poor scholar to sell characters for a living? , Oh, that’s not right, the point of selling calligraphy for a living. Don’t sell it, don’t sell it!
With that, Yu Yu hurriedly walked from the teahouse to the back room and ignored Doudou. As he walked, he said loudly, "Doudo, close , Have hot pot tonight!"
Although there are a thousand taels of silver in his hand, the business of the teahouse has never been better. On the issue of whether to sell characters, the master and servant both had a lot of emotions for several days. Nothing happened during the day, and Yu Yu began to walk around. Mainly to inquire about the performance of the Li family after Li Fu was killed.
Unexpectedly calm!
Without any news on this aspect, Yu Yu is not sure that the Li family didn’t pay much attention to this Li Fu, and thought it was because he caused trouble outside and was killed by him, or the Li family didn’t bother with the newspaper officials at all, and privately. Visiting? If it's the first one, he doesn't need to worry, but what if it's the second one?
Yu Yu decided to stay quiet for a while, let's talk about it after the limelight. Although it didn't seem to be out of the limelight, the calmer Yu Yu felt a little uneasy. Because even for the first reason, killing the housekeeper of the Li family, it stands to reason that this is tantamount to beating the Li family in the face. Why do they behave so peacefully?
Because there are many monks in the holy city, and the status of Qianzheng Academy is too unique, all students of Qianzheng Academy must go to the court to register for inquiries.
After a few days of busy work, after going through many yamen, Yu Yu settled the matter. As a native of Yan country, he has long heard of the name of Qianzheng academy. He also knows that many civil servants in the middle of the DPRK came from the academy. But when he walked into those yamen and showed his green wood sign, the standard of treatment he received was still He couldn't help being speechless, lamenting the superb status of Qianzheng Academy. When I arrived at the Holy City Mansion, the prefect himself received him personally. For a student who has not yet enrolled, this standard is very high.
Being busy with these things is actually Yu Yu pretending to be busy. No way, there are fierce maids at home!
But the ones that should come are still coming. Seeing that a month has passed, no one has ever come to the teahouse except for the tea money that the bully paid a dozen silver dollars last time. During this time Yu Yu was busy with his enrollment affairs, Doudou ignored him. This night Yu Yu just lay down, put Dou Dou in his arms, Dou Dou spoke:
"Master, we can't sit and eat like this. In fact, no one has been in the teahouse. Sometimes people come to see the list and they are all scared away. They say that the price here is too expensive, and they say ugly things. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com It's hard to hear!"
Doudou is aggrieved!
"Well, if those idiots say bad things in the future, you will let them go!" Yu Yu comforted.
"But we always have to make money, Master!" After rubbing Yu Yu's chest, Doudou continued.
Yu Yu hugged the cold Doudou, suddenly speechless. One thousand taels of silver on hand is a lot, but the problem is that you have to think of a long-term plan. If the teahouse never opens, is it possible for Doudou to beg for food?
"Well, I will think of a way, think of a way, don't talk about selling words, won't it be possible? Isn't it two months before school starts? Let me think about it, there is always a way!" Yu Yu had no choice but to comfort him like this.
It's not that Yu Yu's unwillingness to sell characters is sour and rotten. At the root, he thinks that selling characters doesn't make money for business after all. As a modern person with nearly 30 years of life experience, he still has business thinking. I have never heard of that calligrapher who can become a rich man. They are all businessmen.
In addition, there are calligraphy shops and bookshops everywhere in Yan Country. The fierce competition can be said to be the most serious industry in the country. Therefore, he is unwilling to sell characters and waste time and energy. Very confident, but Yu Yu thinks that there are always not many people who know the goods.
"By the way, Doudou" Yu Yu's eyes lit up, suddenly remembering something, and said to Doudou, "I thought of a good way!"
"Master, what can I do?" Doudou's eyes lit up and asked, raising her face.
"There is a saying that there is no gun or cannon, the enemy made us, you know?"
"Master, what is a gun?"
"A very powerful weapon!"
"Then what do you mean by this sentence?"
"It means to grab!"
