Be a master through ancient times

Miss Li is sixteen years old this year, exactly the age of a girl named Huaichun.

The Li family has a great career, and as the only daughter of their family, Ms. Li has always been doted on.When she was young, the family hired a female wife to teach her to read and write.

There are very few things that can relieve boredom in the boudoir, and the storybook is the most interesting among them.

As long as there is a new book in the book store, she will ask the servants at home to buy it for her as soon as possible.

Last time a new copy of "Biography of Xiu Niang" was published. As soon as Ms. Li got it, she couldn't help but read it.

The book always says how good-looking and handsome the protagonist is, but no matter how much Ms. Li imagines, she can't think of what a very good-looking man should look like.Apart from her father and brother, she usually sees only servants and servants, and they obviously don't fit those words.

Miss Li shook her head while watching, but when her hand turned to the next page, she suddenly froze.The illustrations at the back of this book are not at all the same as the previous ones.

The illustrations in the past are more freehand. Although you can understand what the meaning of the above drawing is, it is not beautiful at all.

The illustrations in this book are different, very realistic.Both the mulberry leaves above the head and the grass below can be seen clearly.Most importantly, the two people drawn in the book are really beautiful.

The woman is dressed in plain clothes, her hair is casually pulled up in a bun, her eyes are full of autumn water, her nose is bright and her teeth are bright, her fingers are like green onion roots, she is such a peerless beauty.

The man was wearing a school uniform, with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. He looked dignified and personable, which really met the current standards for women to choose a husband.

Ms. Li became crazy when she looked at it.

She began to imitate the clothes and dresses of the women in the paintings, even combing her hair in the same bun.Don't tell me, this Ms. Li liked to wear heavy makeup before, but this time she changed her attire, which is more suitable for her kind of Xiaojiabiyu type girl. Everyone is full of praise when they see her.

Ms. Li's girlfriends are very curious. They haven't seen each other for a while. Why has this Ms. Li changed so much all of a sudden?Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Ms. Li reluctantly took out the few illustrations he had collected.

From this point of view, the other ladies are no longer good, isn't this too good-looking?After they inquired clearly, they sent their servants to buy them.

For a time, all the girls in the city looked beautiful in plain clothes, and several hairstyles in the book became popular.Naturally, such news cannot be hidden from other people, so Hanmoshu became popular.

After "Biography of the Embroidered Lady" was sold out, he used Chuci as a template and pushed out several other story books. For a while, the dream lovers of the ladies in the boudoir changed from a handsome scholar to a gentle and elegant master. , and then turned into a handsome and tall hero, it can be said that the influence is great.

The shopkeepers of other bookstores also tried their best to attract business back. During this period of time, their business was almost impossible to read.It is naturally impossible for people to go to the bookstore to buy only a few story books, and other things are also sold at a good price, which is the main reason why Lu Feng can't hold his tongue from ear to ear.

After listening to Chu Ci, his expression became weird and unpredictable. He didn't expect that the star-chasers are not only in modern times.He used to be the head teacher of a high school, and he often saw the group of girls gathering to discuss stars during recess, and the expressions on their faces were filled with excitement. If they were willing to focus on their studies, then Chu Ci would be happy died.

"Those who write story books all have nice and easy-to-remember names. Look, don't you also want to have a famous name?" Lu Feng suggested, mainly for anti-counterfeiting.It's not his villainous heart, but there are indeed imitation paintings on the market now, which is not good for the monopoly business.

name?The names of great writers such as Mr. Wuliu, Layman Qinglian, and Yelao Shaoling appeared in Chu Ci's mind instantly. After thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly had an idea, "Let's call him a guest from outside the sky."

"A visitor from outside the sky?" Lu Feng repeated, feeling that the name sounded a bit strange.

"Yeah, it's hard for them to guess, and they won't be able to find me for a while."

"Well, that's good. I heard that there are indeed some foreigners in our town." Lu Feng suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He put the money to be owed to Chu Ci in a bag and pushed it to him, and then gave it to him. Yi Dao Zhi pretends that Chu Ci is here to buy things.

Before sending Chu Ci out, Lu Feng said in a low voice: "Chu Xiucai, don't worry, I will let someone carve the chapter. You'd better not come to the town these few days, so as not to be targeted by those people."

After hearing this, Chu Ci went to the store instead, wrote a few words with a pen and paper on the counter, and handed it to Lu Feng.

"Use my characters for the seal, so as not to be copied."

Lu Feng nodded quickly: "It's still your thoughtfulness, I will find an acquaintance to do it."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, then walked out holding the paper.

It's a pity that he didn't think about buying anything when he went out today, so he didn't even carry a back basket.It's a pity to throw away the paper in my hand now, and it's hard to get it if I don't throw it away, which is really embarrassing.

Just when Chu Ci was in a dilemma, a carriage passed by Chu Ci and stopped suddenly.

"Your Excellency, Brother Chu?" A man dressed as a young prince looked out of the car window, with a bit of hesitation in his tone.

"Xiaosheng is exactly Chu Ci of Changxi Village, how dare you ask him?" Chu Ci recalled, and found that the original owner did not seem to have this person in his memory.

"My name is Zhang Wenhai. I used to study at Qishan Academy with Brother Chu, but after half a month of enrollment, Brother Chu transferred to the county school." Zhang Wenhai explained.

Qishan Academy?Chu Ci thought about it, and there was indeed such a thing.When the original owner was 12 years old, the master in the village had nothing to teach him, so he wrote a recommendation letter to his old friend, asking the original owner to study at Qishan Academy.

After the original owner went there, he quickly caught up with the progress and performed very well.A master of the county school heard about him by chance, so he contacted Chu Ci in private, and after testing his knowledge, he said that he could go to the county school for free.

Qishan Academy needs to pay two taels of silver tuition a month, and the county school needs to pay five taels of silver a month.The word "free of charge" is still very tempting to the original owner whose family background is not very good, so after more than half a month of reading, the original owner went to the county school.

For this reason, the old masters in the village looked down on the original owner, and treated him coldly.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang. Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I didn't recognize it for a while. Please forgive me."

"Brother Chu, you are knowledgeable and a role model for me." Zhang Wenhai got out of the car and seemed to want to chat with Chu Ci for a while.

Chu Ci had no choice but to stand on the side of the road and talk to him holding the paper in his hand.

Zhang Wenhai first lamented that Chu Ci's bad luck, and then comforted him that talented people will always have a bright future, and hoped that he would not be discouraged and make persistent efforts.As he was talking, he also said that he was dull by nature, and he hadn't passed the imperial examination for so long, and he hadn't passed the exam. It's not like Chu Ci's 14-year-old exam.

Chu Ci listened to his words patiently, and gradually understood what he meant. This guy thought he was very smart, and wanted to get some tips from him on being a scholar.

After thinking about this matter clearly, Chu Ci knew that the opportunity to make money came.

"Brother Zhang, don't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, it's not that you are inferior to others in knowledge. It's just that the method is useless. As long as you find the right method, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

When Zhang Wenhai heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.He knew that Chuci had a trick!Back when Chu Ci was in Qishan Academy, from the dean to the students in the academy, everyone praised him when they mentioned him.Sure enough, he transferred to the county school to study for more than a year, and then he was admitted as a scholar.

Now, everyone in the academy sighed, if they hadn't let Chu Ci go, the 14-year-old scholar would be theirs.With this living signboard, the number of applicants in the coming year will definitely surge.

Zhang Wenhai and the others are in such an environment. Once they do something wrong, the master will definitely educate them with Chu Ci.This upset many students.

Zhang Wenhai belongs to the peaceful kind, he only envies Chu Ci's intelligence.His family has a good family background, his father is a businessman, his mother's dowry is quite rich, and they only have one son like him.

He was educated as a future businessman since he was a child, and all he learned was abacus and reading books. Who told the son of a businessman not to take the imperial examination?

However, ten years ago, the imperial court suddenly relaxed the regulations, saying that the children of merchants who had made great contributions to the imperial court could have the right to take the imperial examination.

This huge contribution is hard to say, but these businessmen all know that the imperial court is now empty of the treasury due to years of wars, and there is a lot of waste in various places, which is the time when money is needed.

But no one can refuse this conspiracy.Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have been inferior in status. Who would not want their children to become nobles one day?

Zhang Wenhai's father begged his grandpa to sue his grandma before he spent the money to get old Zhang's family a place in the imperial examination.

It's a pity that this piece of Wen Hai is now 20 years old, but he still doesn't understand. After four or five years of exams, he is still a mere child.

Faced with the high expectations of his parents, Zhang Wenhai felt as if a stone had weighed on him, and he was almost out of breath.When he met Chu Ci on the road that day, he stopped impulsively, wanting to know something.

Now that he was about to hear it, his palms were sweating nervously.

Chu Ci lowered his head and gave a wicked smile, then raised his head and pretended to be helpless, "It's a pity that I distributed all the notes when I was a scholar, otherwise I can lend them to Brother Zhang. The yellow and white things are constantly running around, I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with Brother Zhang. Xiaosheng will leave now, and he still needs to copy books when he goes back."

Zhang Wenhai's heart went cold in an instant, a huge treasure was right in front of you, but you couldn't dig it up to see, what a pity it is!

But he had no choice but to watch Chu Ci leave with the blank paper in his arms.

Chu Ci scolded in his heart as he walked: This stupid kid is still a merchant, why is his head so clueless?However, he's done with the deal!
