Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Although it is hard to find great Confucian copybooks, for Liu Hong who works in Prime Minister Zuo's residence, although they are precious, they are not uncommon.

Even, for the person he wants to give, Daru copybooks are even more common.

It's just that although there are many copybooks handed down by Confucian great Confucians, they rarely write poems such as "Mount Tai Yin".

This makes the big Confucian copybook in Mobao Pavilion so precious.

When Chen Qi heard Liu Hong's refusal, he was not angry, because he had already guessed the cause and effect, and he also knew the reason why Liu Hong asked for Mobaoge's "Taishan Song".

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was really shy in his pocket, and Yuan Shoucheng and Jinghe Dragon King refused to show up for a long time, Chen Qi would really not be willing to sell the copybook to Liu Hong.

It shouldn't be too much to sell a copybook of great Confucianism for three to fifty thousand taels of gold.

With this money, he can move out of the other courtyard of the Yang Mansion as soon as possible to avoid the karma of the Dragon Empress.

As for whether selling Liu Hong a copybook by himself will change Liu Hong's fate and affect the plot of Journey to the West, this is of course impossible.

If Liu Hong's fate is really so easy to change, his face is not a deadlock.

Besides, if a copybook could really affect Liu Hong's fate, Chen Qi would definitely not sell it to him.

If all he wants to do is earn some money for buying a house and living expenses, he will not be responsible for the rest.

Therefore, Chen Qi directly interrupted Liu Hong's last words, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, Brother Liu. Since I want to make this business, the Confucian copybook I brought out will definitely satisfy Brother Liu. I don’t know what price Brother Liu can offer.”

After Chen Qi finished speaking, seeing a trace of hesitation on Liu Hong's face, he immediately added: "If I'm not mistaken, brother Liu bought "Mountain Tai" to give to a woman, right?"

"If Brother Liu can give a suitable price, let alone a copy of "Taishan Song", I might as well come up with other copybooks that are more suitable for Brother Liu."

When Liu Hong heard this, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he instantly understood what Chen Qi meant.

That means, I can find a great Confucianist to write for me, as long as the price is right, let alone transcribing ancient poems, I can write whatever I want.

However, it is only when you understand that you will be shocked.

If it is true as the person in front of him said, that great Confucianist is too immoral!

Fortunately, Liu Hong is not a person who likes to pry into other people's privacy. After hearing what Chen Qi said, his heart was undeniably moved.

"Is it really possible?"

If you can really find a great Confucian to write it on your behalf, why not buy "Taishan Yin"? You must write better poems that can express your heart.

"Of course, as long as you can afford the price!"

Chen Qi said affirmatively.

As long as you can afford the price, you can write anti-poems, let alone love poems.

Anyway, Chen Qi has a way to get himself out of here, so that people can't find him.

When Liu Hong heard Chen Qi's affirmative answer, he couldn't help but fell silent and lowered his head.

After a long time, he raised his head again, looked at the roadside tea stand next to him, and said in a melancholy tone, "I wonder if Your Excellency would like to hear me tell a story."

Listen to the story?

The story of the water thief Liu Hong and Tang Seng's mother?

Or is it the story of the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion and the guard?

Chen Qi said that this kind of story is his favorite.

Moreover, Chen Qi was very tolerant of every request from the sponsor.

Since the sponsor wants to tell a story, he will definitely be a good listener.

Well, this is the story of a friend series of Liu Hong.

Also a very corny story.

In Liu Hong's narration, he has a friend who is the guard of a rich family, and he is conscientious and conscientious.

The only bad thing is that he secretly fell in love with the owner's daughter.

But because of the huge gap in status, this love is destined to be fruitless.

Especially after the head of the family discovered some clues, he directly betrothed his daughter to the son of another big family.

Afterwards, the eldest lady secretly found the guard and wanted the guard to take her to elope.

The guard refused, because he knew very well that even if the two eloped, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Patriarch, and the guard did not want the woman he loved to suffer with him.

The eldest lady who was rejected by the guards, sadly, finally agreed to marry someone else.

Now that the wedding is approaching, when the guard is sad and sad, he also wants to give a gift to the woman he likes.

He wants to tell the woman he loves deeply that he still likes her and will always silently guard her.

After listening to Liu Hong's series of stories about a friend, what else can Chen Qi say?

Very good, very powerful, and very bloody.

He patted himself on the chest, and reassured loudly: "Don't worry, this matter is simple, and you will definitely be satisfied."

Although Liu Hong's request is more, and the story is more bloody, but Chen Qi said that this is not a problem.

The real problem is: "I don't know how much Brother Liu can spend. You must know that a Confucian copybook is not cheap, let alone this kind of custom-made one."

Liu Hong: "..."

What the hell, this is a scholar I know, why is it better than a merchant.

A good sad atmosphere was directly destroyed by your words.

Can this still make people look at love directly!

Liu Hong was speechless, but thinking of the figure in his mind, he could only ask weakly: "General Confucian copybooks are about [-] taels of gold, can I offer [-] taels of red gold?".

Chapter 43

Five hundred taels of red gold!

When Chen Qi heard Liu Hong's offer, he couldn't help but look at the man in front of him with admiration.

Good guy, yes!

To be able to come up with five hundred taels of red gold, it seems that this guy has made a lot of money in the prime minister's mansion!

Red gold is also a kind of Tang currency, and it is a relatively high-end currency.

Not only can it be used as currency to circulate among dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, warriors, and monks, but it is also a spiritual material that monks often use when making magic weapons.

Because it is extracted from gold, it is also called red gold.

One tael of red gold is equivalent to one hundred taels of gold, which is six hundred guan in copper coins.

Five hundred taels of red gold, that is fifty thousand taels of gold, three hundred thousand guan.

A guard of the prime minister's mansion is worth [-] yuan. If you say that this guy has clean hands and feet, he earned it all by himself. Who would believe it?

what?

You said that besides the guard of the prime minister's residence, Liu Hong is also a master of the fourth rank of martial arts at the golden body level.

Well, no problem then.

"A house in the inner city of Chang'an costs about a hundred thousand guan, and it will cost about [-] guan to renovate and buy some daily necessities."

"In this way, there will be [-] guan left. If [-] guan, how much rice paper can you buy?"

"A piece of rice paper costs twelve guan, one knife is [-] guan, and if you buy [-] guan, you can buy about one hundred dollars, or [-] pieces."

"There is also a better Langhao brush, which costs about a hundred guan, not to mention the inkstone, which is more expensive than rice paper."

"Damn it, the money is still not enough!"

Chen Qi kept calculating his own expenses in his mind, saying that the five hundred taels of pure gold could not be restrained from being spent at all!

It's just that he also knows that a piece of Confucian calligraphy can be sold for five hundred taels of red gold, which is already a high price.

After all, it is impossible for someone to buy Daru copybooks according to the algorithm of "one word is worth a thousand dollars".

Don't think that Chen Qi has high requirements for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, because ordinary paper and pens and inks cannot bear the awe-inspiring righteousness of great Confucians.

Otherwise, you really thought that Chen Qi would buy a piece of tribute rice paper for the sake of saving face!

This is all helpless, forced!

"Forget it, it seems that Liu Hong can't count on achieving wealth and freedom. He has to rely on that old dragon outside Chang'an City."

Chen Qi sighed in his heart, then looked at Liu Hong who had an expectant expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, brother Liu and I hit it off, five hundred taels is five hundred taels."

"You go to get the money, I'll go to get the copybooks, an hour later, we're still here to trade, what do you think, Brother Liu?"

Now that we have decided to trade, we can't procrastinate. Anyway, I just bought a piece of rice paper for two taels of gold, and it's ready for use.

When Liu Hong heard Chen Qi's suggestion, he also nodded and said: "Okay, I will follow your Excellency, and please don't break your promise."

"In addition, Mr. Liu must agree in advance. If Mr. Liu is not satisfied with your copybook, or if the poems and articles in the copybook are not as good as Xie Daoyun's "Mountain Taishan", Mr. Liu will not buy it."

Liu Hong said in a deep voice, he bought the copybook to give to the woman he loves deeply, not to cultivate or slay demons, so he naturally has requirements for the content of poems and articles in the copybook.

You can't buy a copybook of "Great Wind Song" or "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and give it to the goddess, right?

"It's natural!" Chen Qi said confidently.

After the two agreed on the transaction method, time and place, they separated directly and prepared to go.

Watching Liu Hong leave, Chen Qi also quickly returned to the residence, then carefully opened the mounted blank rice paper, picked up the Langhao pen, pondered for a while, and brewed for a while.

Then the whole person enters an ethereal state, imagining the artistic conception of "Magpie Bridge Immortal" in his mind, calming his mind and concentrating his mental power to the extreme.

When Chen Qi finished conceiving the artistic conception of the whole "Magpie Bridge Immortal", there was a movement in an instant, and the writing was done in one go.

In almost three or five breaths, a lingering and delicately written "Magpie Bridge Immortal" comes alive on the paper.

""The Fairy on the Magpie Bridge" makes clever use of slender clouds, flying stars spread hatred, and silver men are far and dark. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world. For a long time, how can it be day and night."

That's right, what he wrote was the famous "Magpie Bridge Immortal" in history that has been passed down through the ages.

When the writing is frightening, the poem becomes the weeping ghosts and gods!

When Chen Qi puts down the Langhao brush in Chen Qi's hand, a lingering feeling, full of longing, sorrow, sadness, and sorrow, but also full of an extremely beautiful breath of love, rises and permeates from the paper.
