Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 29 Three changes in one day, surprising
"Be good! 20 taels is still silver!"

Not far outside the door, Cui Shishe was hiding with his hands and feet. He had been hiding before but couldn't bear to leave. He hid in a corner. When he saw Wang Chuan arriving and Chen Zhi greeted him, he put down his worries and saw Chen Zhi greet him again. Wang Chuan ordered the boy to run back, becoming more and more curious.

When he saw the two people holding the tray and the shaft, Cui Shi had a vague suspicion, so he boldly approached and carefully eavesdropped not far from Shulinzhai. When he heard Wang Chuan's mouth The three words "20 taels" in it made his eyes widen suddenly, almost popping out of his eyes.

"Really letting people write letters for you? Even if you use gold powder as ink, the words written are not worth the price, right?" Upon hearing this, the ghostwriter's entire outlook on life and world view was shaken, and he only felt that there is no world in the world Nothing is more crazy than this.

Not only Cui Shi, but also Chen Fu, Chen Ting, and Chen Xi in the lobby were dumbfounded. Looking at the tray of five silver cakes, they were speechless for a long time. Even if they had made guesses and prepared themselves mentally beforehand, they were really speechless. Seeing real money, the shock is still hard to calm down.

Even Shopkeeper Wu, who claims to be well-informed, looked stunned. He had handled more than 20 taels of silver, but he could get this amount by writing just a few words. The person who gave the money said with an apologetic and guilty look on his face, " Don't be too little." This kind of thing really subverted his past experience.

In the end, Shopkeeper Wu could only lament the huge profits of the cultural industry.

"Twenty taels, this is 20 taels. I was worried about gambling debts before, but now not only the gambling debts are solved, but also there is a surplus. This is simply... this is simply..." Chen Fu couldn't help but murmured, as if it was difficult to Take control of yourself.

Previously, he was worried about 12 taels of gambling debt, but Chen Zhi received [-] taels in his account that day, which surprised him and made him look forward to the future. However, the future had not yet arrived, and the problem was solved today.

Chen Ting was also excited, but considering his status as the son of a wealthy family, he forced himself to restrain himself, but his face turned red.

In contrast, Chen Xi, who was smiling all over his face, obviously didn't have much scruples, especially since Chen Zhi no longer bullied him like before, and he seemed more and more casual these days.

"A few days ago, the person who gave the money that the elder brother said was Wang Chuan, yes, the words that the elder brother said after Wang Xi and the others came to the door, it seems that the elder brother has seen through everything, it is really amazing. "

Poor little book boy Chen Wu, who was so shocked that his mind went blank, before he could calm down, he fell into a new shock again because of the white money, and stood there dumbfounded.

Wang Chuan was not surprised by the reactions of the people in the lobby. What really caught his attention was Chen Zhi not far away, who looked normal, with a smile on his lips.

Wang Chuan has met many people in the past, many of whom pretend to be calm in the face of major events. However, no matter how much they cover it up, one can still see their true thoughts and get a glimpse of their turbulent hearts from the small details of such people. Wang Chuan found no such sign on Chen Zhi.

This shows that Chen Zhi is really calm.

"Faced with enough money to get myself out of trouble, I didn't move at all. Either the city is too deep for even me to see through, or I really don't care. My spirit and vision far exceed my status. Which kind of person does this Chen Jiazi belong to? ?”

At this thought, Wang Chuan's opinion of Chen Zhi improved again. Not to mention that he regarded Chen Zhi as a ridiculous person from a family, even ordinary people from aristocratic families did not have such magnanimity and determination.

In a short period of time, this loyal servant who had followed his master and seen a lot of the world, his evaluation of Chen Zhi changed again and again, and even there was a hint of respect between his eyebrows.

Chen Zhi glanced at the plate of silver cakes and nodded slightly.

There were no conditions for industrial mass production at this time, and the casting technology of silver cakes was not uniform. Therefore, the five silver cakes were of different sizes and values, but the total value reached 20 taels. I believe that at this point, Wang Chuan simply It was impossible to deceive him.

"Twenty taels is already a very astonishing amount. Even for ordinary calligraphers, I am afraid that one article is not worth this amount. I believe that the old man from Qinghu behind Wang Chuan gave him this much bottom line. If it weren’t for the Chen family behind me, my age, my lack of fame, and other factors, and the value of early friendship and investment, I wouldn’t have gotten this amount for just one calligraphy.” Everything has a value, even the works of calligraphers. No exception.

Chen Zhi's calligraphy combines the insights of several generations, and has been strengthened by hundreds of schools of thought. If he really puts his best effort into it, he will naturally be ranked high in the world. However, compared with his status, the value of this calligraphy must be discounted, but Wang Qian What they did this time was also disgraceful, as they were suspected of taking advantage of the situation, and because of the Chen family's opinion, they were competing for time. In order not to damage their friendship, reputation, or be held accountable afterwards, it was inevitable to pay a little more money.

"In other words, I can't keep the 20 taels for myself. I have to give at least one-third to the Chen family, so that the rain and dew can be absorbed equally, otherwise there will be trouble later."

He has no complaints about this. With his own skills, he can make money at any time. A large part of the credit for this harvest comes from the intangible assets of the Chen family. It feeds back the harmony among the clan and the family, whether it is for himself or for others. Chen Ting and the others have benefits.

Why not use the benefits that money can bring?
"Money is meant to be spent. It can be used to buy things, give people away, maintain relationships, alienate, bribe, frame up, etc. They are just used for different purposes. Being stingy with money and damaging connections is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse. I don't have the time to fight in the house. , if something can be solved with money, it is better to win over people's hearts as soon as possible. Besides, this family has accumulated too much money, so it may not be a good thing when the lot is drawn."

He thought clearly in his mind, but Chen Zhi did not intend to interrupt his family's surprise, and smiled at Wang Chuan: "This sincerity is really enough, which makes Chen very flattered. Since the elders favor me and appreciate my words, I can't say I can only show my best ability and hope not to disappoint Mr. Qinghu."

"Thank you very much." Wang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had fulfilled his mission. Even though he had spent all of his 20 taels of silver, he might have become acquainted with Chen Zhi and had a personal friendship. I believe that his master would not Blaming yourself will be more helpful to your future status in the Wang family——

After several changes of opinion, Wang Chuan is now really convinced by Chen Zhi and is even more optimistic about his future. With such calligraphy skills at such an age, what else can he do in the future?Moreover, the person's reputation is not obvious, which seems to be a disadvantage, but for those who make friends in advance, this is an advantage. Otherwise, when the person becomes famous and famous all over the world, you may not be able to make friends while lining up. Now you can Getting to know each other is naturally a good thing, and we should make great efforts to make friends.

After the two sides finished explaining, it was time to get down to business. Wang Chuan did not rush it, but he was looking forward to it in his heart.

Seeing Chen Zhi's instructions, Chen Xi was very active in preparing pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and everyone followed him cautiously. Their expressions were almost pious, but they did not dare to say anything for fear of affecting Chen Zhi. end.

It's no wonder that they earned more than 20 taels of silver from writing. This kind of skill already made them scared. This is not writing, this is painting money.

Even Cui Shi outside the door consciously held his breath at this time, fearing to scare Chen Zhi, as if he would lose money if Chen Zhi was unhappy.

Under the eyes of everyone, Chen Zhi slowly came to the table, picked up a pen and brewed it, then opened the shaft head prepared by Wang Chuan, his eyes swept across the white paper, and then his eyes fell on another picture next to him. Literally, that is the target of the transcription, "Mingyue Fu", which was written by Wang Qian. In recent days, there have been signs of circulation among the gentry circles in Pengcheng County.

Turning his eyes silently, Chen Zhi started to write without any stagnation. The ink fell on the white paper, like a river flowing into the loess, flowing with the trend.

Wang Chuan stood aside and was not surprised when he saw Chen Zhi's flowing movements, but he was curious whether Chen Zhi's handwriting could be as good this time.

Wang Chuan had seen the letters brought by Wang Xi and others before coming, and even found some clues in them.

"The previous four letters looked similar on the surface, but in fact they were different. There were four different charms in the lines and structures, which seemed to be able to be extended into four fonts. It was for this reason that the master was so surprised. Or is it this? He has already mastered Zi Zhi, so this time I am watching next to him to see if he can really have such skills and what kind of charm he will write this time!"

　Thanks to "I don't want nicknames", "Obsidian Tail", "Mo Xiao Fei Fei", "Jinling Water", "Dian Lips to Purple Blood", "lida is intoxicated and knows no way back" and "Holy Knight Leader" for the rewards!

　　There is a new recommendation this week, the recommendation is "Assist Liu Bei to sweep away the heroes". There is six feet of grass on Brother Bei's grave, and all the heroes are having a party, sweat!
