Chapter 169 Kong Xiu’s Way of Making Money
When Yun Zhao returned home, he saw Yun Xian sitting in the small study writing big characters.
The window of the study room was open, and Qian Duoduo was standing behind him. Both mother and son seemed to be very serious.
Yun Zhao came to the window and took a look, and found that what Yun Xian was copying was Xu Yuanshou's calligraphy.
I have to say that Xu Yuanshou’s handwriting is really unique. Although it is not the best in the Ming Dynasty, his handwriting is extremely elegant and straight, and he is very popular among writers. Yun Zhao likes his handwriting very much. Character.
His handwriting was written by Xu Yuanshou. However, after it was written, it did not have Xu Yuanshou's noble aura and was ridiculed by Xu Yuanshou as a bandit calligraphy.
The so-called bandit characters mean that the connections between Yun Zhao’s characters are too close, and one character often encroaches on another character, just like one character is bullying another character. .
No way, this can’t be corrected. After all, when Yun Zhao practiced calligraphy, he relied on quantity and did not have time to carefully consider each word. In fact, no matter who writes it every day If I had to copy a thousand words, I would write them like this.
Qian Duoduo saw her husband coming and saw that he had no intention of disturbing his son's writing, so he remained silent. The couple's eyes fell on Yun Xian.
Yunxian knew that his father was coming, but he did not dare to stop writing. He also knew that if he acted half-heartedly at this time, the consequences would be serious.
It wasn't until he finished writing the last word that the child opened his mouth, which was missing a tooth, and smiled at his father: "I've finished writing."
Yun Zhao looked at his son He nodded and said: "My heart is still a little confused. If I can calm down, I can write the last six words better."
Yun Xian smiled and said: "Daddy is here."< /p>
Yun Zhao smiled and touched his son's head and said: "Okay, this time I will rely on you, daddy. Next time, remember not to make excuses."
Yun Xian nodded and said: "You found a lot of teachers for me?"
Yun Zhao said: "Sixteen were ordered."
Yun Xian frowned and said: "Isn't that too many? This is Is dad punishing the child for escaping from Ningxia Town?" Yun Zhao said: "Nothing will be punished twice. This is the principle that your dad and I have always abided by. I will find sixteen gentlemen for you. , Actually, I want to see how many truly capable scholars there are in the Ming Dynasty.
You can think of this as a scientific examination."
Yun Xian couldn't understand what his father said. If so, he would focus on his mother.
Qian Duoduo smiled and said: "Your father is going to establish the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Arts in Ming Dynasty. The teachers you choose must be included in the Academy of Arts. This has been planned for a long time. I only need to select teachers for you. It's just a cover."
Yun Xian sniffed and said, "In that case, can the child choose his favorite teacher?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "This is natural, but you can't justYou should also dabble in literature courses, arithmetic, inquiry, chemistry, and geometry. "
Yun Xian looked into his father's eyes, couldn't help but look away, and whispered: "My child also knows that it is wrong to escape from Ningxia Town privately. Even after that thought came up, I couldn't control it. myself. "
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Dad doesn't think this is your impulse. I only think it is your choice. Since you are unwilling to study according to dad's wishes, then I have to give it to you. Another option.
You have to remember that this is your own choice. Once you make your choice, there is no way to change it. "
Yun Xian drooped his head and said: "I know that no matter whether I like it or not, I have to stick to it after making a choice. ”
Yun Zhao smiled and said: “As long as you know, our family is quite special. Things like eating and waiting to die cannot happen in our family. It is actually difficult for a person to do something. If you don’t Enough knowledge makes things more difficult. "
Yun Xian just nodded vigorously and sat back on the chair to read.
Yun Zhao, however, focused his attention on Qian Duoduo and said, "Don't teach my son how to speak in the future. , I am his father, not his emperor, and I don’t like to talk to others.
Qian Duoduo said: "You don't care, the gentlemen who are coming will care."
Yun Zhao snorted coldly: "They have already arrived."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said: "Who arrived first?"
Yun Zhao suppressed his anger and said: "What a bastard!"
"Chang'an Avenue is even narrow and sloping , green oxen and white horses, seven-scented chariots, jade chariots crossing the main hall, golden whips coming to the Hou family. Dragons hold treasures to carry the sun, phoenixes spit out tassels and fly around the trees, and a group of delicate birds sing together. Bees and butterflies play on the side of thousands of doors, green trees and silver terraces of various colors are used. ..."
Kong Xiu lay naked in the soup pool, holding two beauties in his arms, humming and reciting Lu Zhaolin's "Ancient Meanings of Chang'an" while holding Drinking wine with ice cubes, pouring it into your stomach like no money.
His little boy looked at his old master with a worried face. He had just inquired about it, and the cost here was far beyond what he could afford with the hundred and ten silver coins in his arms.
Kong Xiu obviously didn't care about this. With the support of two prostitutes, he stumbled out of the soup pool. After being wiped clean, he was wrapped in a pure white plush coat. The big towel was poured on a bamboo bed, and he was carefully kneaded by the two beauties.
"Reward..."
Kong Xiu was obviously very satisfied with the service of the two prostitutes, and said a word vaguely.
The scholar Xiaoqing had no choice but to take out ten silver coins from his pocket and gave them to the two prostitutes who smiled brightly.
After finally waiting for the two prostitutes to retreat, Xiao Qing raised his old master’s head and said, “Sir, we don’t have enough money!”
Kong Xiu’s eyes were drunk. Looking anxiouslyLooking at his little boy, he waved his hand casually and said: "Chang'an has a lot of money."
Xiao Qing said anxiously: "Chang'an has money, but we have no money."
Kong Xiu looked at it Xiao Qing laughed and said: "If Chang'an has money, we will have money."
Xiao Qing said angrily: "But we don't even have enough money for tomorrow's meal."
Kong Xiu laughed and said: "I finally left the ruined Shandong and plunged into the prosperity of this prosperous age. How can I not get drunk? Silly boy, in these troubled times, your young master is worthless." , In this prosperous age, what's the problem for your young master to get money?
Take me the most beautiful prostitute in Meixiang Pavilion and say, "Master, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with the beauty under the moon."
"How about I go get some?"
Kong Xiu turned his head, looked at Xiaoqing and said with a smile: "The methods used in troubled times should not be used in prosperous times."
< p>Xiao Qing said: "Didn't you say that the method of troubled times is the most convenient and quickest way?"Kong Xiu shook his head and said: "Yun Zhao used the method of troubled times to dominate the world in just fifteen years. Look at how much effort he has put into repairing the world. Boy, the fastest way may not be the best way.
You must remember this. p>Xiao Qing said again: "Since you don't allow me to steal, then how can we make money?"
Kong Xiu struggled to stand up, Xiao Qing quickly helped him put a big towel around him, and then Hear his old man say to him: "Get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Xiaoqing hurriedly took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Kong Xiuwan dipped the thick ink in it, thought for a while, and then put the brush on On the white paper, in a moment, a clump of bamboo appeared on the white paper. After thinking about it, he wrote a huge word "bamboo" in the blank space. He paid the Shandong Savage and handed it to Xiaoqing.
"We won't sell less than 500 silver coins!"
Xiao Qing held the painting with the ink still wet and said blankly for a moment: "Sir, I'd better go out to look for money. You used to I have never sold paintings and calligraphy, and there are many common people in Chang'an, so I'm afraid they won't be able to detect the talent of the young master."
Kong Xiu drank another glass of wine and laughed: "If this painting cannot be sold, we will return to Shandong. "
"Aren't you here to be the second prince's husband? How can you go back like this?" Kong Xiu sighed: "Dong Zhongshu once said that he wanted to dedicate Confucianism to Liu Che. However, it would be a loss for a stunning beauty like Confucian to marry a boy like Liu Che.
My Confucian family was ruined by those messy people, so I can only sell it for five hundred silver coins. However, this is also us. The bottom line is, if Confucianism is not even worth five hundred silver coins, how long will we stay if we don't go home?"
Xiao Qing is extremely reluctant to go, but who is his old master? Knowing that, he had no choice but to walk slowly outside the yard. After leaving the yard, he could still hear his old master still howling.
"I want the most beautiful woman..."
After hearing this howl, Chun Niang, the old madam of Meixiang Pavilion, repelled and just retreated.The two prostitutes whispered to a tall and thick guy: "You have taken a good look at this poor guy. If you want him to escape, you are the only one asking."
The strong man chuckled and said: "Don't worry. , He can't escape. If he can't get the money, he will be sold to the coal mines as hard labor, and the money will be returned to us."
Seeing the strong man standing guard outside the yard, the old bustard Chun Niang was like this. Just came to the front yard.
As soon as she left the Moon Gate, she saw the poor boy blocking the road, as if waiting for her.
The old bustard immediately walked up with a smile on his face and said: "Young master, do you want to know the accounts?"
Xiao Qing said coldly: "We have no money."< /p>
The face of the old bustard changed immediately, and he said sharply: "Do you want to have sex for nothing?"
Xiao Qing snorted and said: "Don't worry, my young master will not miss you a penny." , Now, send the most beautiful woman to my young master."
The old madam spread her hands and said: "Only rich people have good girls."
Xiao Qing untied her waist. He didn't count the money in the money bag and threw it all to the old bustard. The old bustard reached out and grabbed the money bag, weighed it and said, "It's not enough!"
Xiao Qing said, "Give it first." So much, I'm going to make money."
The old madam looked up and down at the thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy and said with a smile: "How are you going to make money? , This kind of business is not allowed to open in Chang'an City."
A cold light flashed in Xiaoqing's eyes, and he reached out and pinched the old bustard's neck. Lifting it up with one hand, the old madam felt her eyes go dark and her tongue stuck out. Just when she thought she was about to die, Xiao Qing put her on the ground again.
The old bustard fell to the ground and coughed violently, but he was not afraid of the boy who looked very strong. After finally regaining his breath, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's murder..."
