Happy Little Scholar

Today's Qing'an Mansion is obviously a city that never sleeps. Whether it is a tavern, a brothel or other shops, they are basically open all night, because the profit from this one night is enough to cover their usual days. In places like taverns, half a day The profit was almost equal to the previous ten days and a half. "Heaven" "Lai Novel"

Only a solid person like Lao Fang would give himself a holiday when business is at its best. At this moment, he is probably beating his chest with regret while watching the booming business of other candied haws vendors...

After coming out of the poetry meeting, Li Yi thought about it carefully and felt a little regretful.

Isn't it a little too hasty to use a term like "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" that has been passed down through the ages so easily?

Although I also found a jade pendant, the jade pendant can only be exchanged for three hundred taels of silver at most. After all, I still seem to be at a loss...

I just randomly picked out a poem about the moon from "Selected Song Ci", and I'm afraid it could still calm Shen Zhao. In the final analysis, I was still too impulsive.

However, it was too late to regret it now. I stopped thinking about it. I picked up my mood, picked a pawn shop that looked more formal, and walked in.

Half an hour later, Li Yi and Liu Ruyi walked out of the pawn shop.

There is no treacherous businessman. The man surnamed Shen said that this jade pendant was worth at least three hundred taels of silver. The sinister owner of the pawn shop only offered one hundred and fifty taels of silver, which was more than half of it. Li Yi spent a quarter of an hour using it. Time has passed him two hundred taels, and the other party will not let go even if he dies.

Finally, when Liu Ruyi frowned and her jade hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, Li Yi saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly raised Shen Zhao's name.

Otherwise, the pawnshop owner will be in bad luck tonight.

It has to be said that the name Shen Zhao, Mr. Shen, is still very useful. Since it is the jade pendant of the second talented man in Qing'an Mansion, the price is naturally higher. After the pawn shop owner confirmed it, he finally increased the price to three hundred taels.

Before leaving, he deliberately stuffed another ten taels of silver into Li Yi's hand and expressed eagerly that if he could get Yang Yanzhou's jade pendant next time, he would be willing to pay twice the price. If Li Yi was not satisfied , the price can still be discussed...

Li Yi could probably guess the intention of the pawnshop owner. There must be many women who admire such talented people in Qing'an Prefecture. Among them, there must be many wealthy ladies who are not short of money. They buy them for three hundred taels and then resell them. I'm afraid they can still make a lot of money.

This made Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, in this world, talented people are really popular!

One day he becomes famous and sells signed portraits, worn socks, unwashed underwear, etc., I'm afraid he can make a small fortune...

By the way, I seem to have forgotten to take away the "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" I wrote just now. I really shouldn't have. After all, it was the first version of the manuscript. After he became famous, he would not be able to sell it for a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver... …Is it still too late to go back and get it now?

When he thought of those women who were like wolves and tigers, Li Yi immediately gave up the idea.

Li Yi, who was strolling in the bustling market with Liu Ruyi with three hundred taels of silver notes in his arms, naturally didn't know that the entire Jinxiu Garden had become completely boiling because of the "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".

Several old men with white beards gathered around a table, staring intently at the rice paper on the table.

Zeng Zuimo stood far away, wanting to snatch back the original manuscript of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", but when he thought that the old men in front of him were famous figures in the literary world and had extraordinary status, he still resisted this idea.

"As a scholar, my handwriting is so sloppy, it's really insulting to my elegance!" An old man said angrily, making all the talented people around look at each other, but they didn't dare to say a word.

Although the old man has a bad temper, the identity of the other party is so obvious that even the prefect here does not dare to say anything.

Master Lao Xuezheng had been an official for many years, and he had many talents all over the world, including many high-ranking officials. Magistrate Dong also worshiped under the disciple of Lao Xuezheng back then. Now when he meets him, he must respectfully address him as "teacher".

After venting his anger, the old man looked at the paper again, but this time, his cloudy old eyes were filled with light. After a long time, he sighed and said: "What a beautiful poem... People have joys and sorrows. , the moon waxes and wanes... I hope that people will live forever, and we can share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away. I am afraid that there will be no other person in the entire Jingguo who writes Mid-Autumn Festival poems to this extent..."

"This person's attainments in poetry may have reached an unfathomable level. I heard that the "Magpie Bridge Immortal" written on Chinese Valentine's Day was also written by him." Another old man beside him withdrew his gaze and sighed as well: " One is charming and gentle, the other is bold and open-minded, magnificent... It is hard to imagine that these two lyrics with completely different styles were written by the same person."

"After today, whenever I, a student of Jingguo, drink wine under the moonlight, I will definitely think of "raising a glass to invite the bright moon, making three people by facing each other's shadows." During the Chinese Valentine's Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, I will never forget "Magpie Bridge Immortal" and "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". I feel that if he is allowed to write Shangyuan Ci again, there will be no need to hold the next few poetry gatherings!"

"In terms of poetry alone, even if he is called the most talented person in Jingguo, there won't be many objections."

The old scholar nodded and agreed, but the next moment, he raised his eyebrows and cursed with some hatred: "This guy, have you never thought about practicing calligraphy!"

…

…

The talented people around stood respectfully by the side, and they couldn't help but be secretly shocked when they heard the old academician and several famous people's evaluation of Li Yi.

"The first talent in Jingguo..." Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature. When poetry reaches a certain level, it is difficult to distinguish the superior and the inferior. No one has ever received such an evaluation from them.

The Mid-Autumn Poetry Meeting has attracted much attention from scholars and students in Qing'an Prefecture. Any news will be spread quickly.

Soon, a piece of paper floated out of Jinxiu Garden like snow. Some people with good intentions even handed out their comments on the poem, without any deletions, including the praise of Li Yi as "the first talent in Jingguo". It quickly spread throughout the city...

In a very short time, the tune of Water Melody Song Head had spread in various brothels. Li Yi, who played the role of "Magpie Bridge Fairy", appeared at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meeting. In anger for his beloved, he brazenly accepted the literary battle of Shen Zhao, the second talent in Qing'an Prefecture. The Water Melody Song Head amazed the audience and made Shen Zhao tear up the poem twice...

When the scholars heard such a story, they felt as if they were there, and their blood was boiling. They only regretted that they were not there to see it. When countless women in the boudoir heard their maids telling them the news they heard from outside, their beautiful eyes were also shining.

At this time, Li Yi, who knew nothing about this, was still wandering on the street.

However, unlike before, he now has a lot more things in his bag.

Purse, sachet, bracelet, hairpin, rouge and powder...

Last time, Ruyi gave him a piece of clothing she had sewn by herself. It is a good way to exchange gifts. Now that Li Yi's wallet is full again, he will not be stingy in this regard.

However, if he buys one for Ruyi, Xiaohuan will definitely want one too. Otherwise, the little maid will be sad even if she doesn't say it. If he buys one for both of them, he can't leave out Liu Ruyi. Treating Miss Liu differently will have serious consequences...

Although this seems to be a lack of sincerity, at most... I can give Ruyi another gift later.

Seeing Li Yi walk into a jewelry store again, Liu Ruyi's mouth curled up a little. Just as she was about to follow him in, her steps suddenly stopped and her eyes looked at the two scholars who passed by her on the street.

"Magpie Bridge Fairy"... "Water Melody", Academician... That Li Yi... Jingguo's number one talent..."

After getting this information from the conversation between the two, Liu Ruyi frowned and looked at the back of the man who was bargaining with the shop owner in the store with confusion and surprise...
