"Lang Jun, why are you so arrogant? Even if you deliberately anger my father, how can you be so straightforward?" Shen Jing followed beside him, pouting and looking at Yu Tiance with dissatisfaction.
In her opinion, the behavior of provoking her father-in-law was just licking the iron in the winter and poking a hornet's nest in idleness - looking for a cure when there is no illness!
"Love it!"
Yu Tiance waved his hand with a nonchalant look on his face.
After calming down, Yu Tiance turned his head and took a closer look at Shen Jing beside him.
She has big eyes, a tall figure, no makeup but still looks beautiful, she is a perfect goddess!
The most important thing is that you will never leave a waste like the original owner. Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. It is really rare and valuable!
At this time, another wave of memories flooded into my mind.
Shen Jing, seventeen years old, is the concubine born to Shen Kang and his concubine.
The concubine died after giving birth to her. Shen Jing grew up under the eyes of her eight sisters, aunt and two mothers, and even her own father didn't treat her very well.
The original owner couldn't concentrate on making money because he was studying.
Whenever his younger daughter went back to borrow money, Shen Kang would only give her fifty or one hundred cash, with some sarcastic remarks.
"Madam, don't worry. From today on, I will not let you go home to borrow money. I will make your eight sisters envy your life!"
Hmm~
Shen Jing's face turned red and she pouted.
Although she was happy, she didn't believe it.
She failed the county examination twice, and her eight brothers-in-law were all prominent figures in the county. How could she make her sisters envious of her?
However, these words are enough!
Shen Jing raised her little fist and smiled beautifully: "Lang Jun, I believe you will definitely do it!"
…
The two came to the market and selected paper and pens.
After a whole morning, the memories were finally integrated.
This is a dynasty that did not exist in time and space.
History reached a turning point in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty. A farmer named Li Longwu rose up. He was as capable as Zhuge Kongming and was on point every step of the way. He drove away the arrogant Mongolian cavalry and established the Dayu Dynasty, with its capital in Luoyang. .
According to folklore, Li Longwu was a time traveler. He wrote some poems that were only found in later generations, and also invented some objects, such as soap and storybooks...
Of course, it's just a rumor.
The Yu Dynasty has gone through the rule of Taizu, the prosperous age of Emperor Taizong, the pacification of Mobei, the chaos of the vassal kings, from prosperity to decline, and the revival of a certain emperor... Now, the country has been enjoying the country for more than a hundred years, and it is the period of peace and prosperity. .
Just as I was walking to the gate of the academy, I suddenly saw a few wretched young men holding folding fans, grinning sinisterly, and discussing around a painting.
Yu Tiance moved forward curiously.
It turned out to be a picture of a beautiful woman.
The original owner was an honest man and had never asked about these flashy things, nor did he know their prices: "Brother, how much does this painting cost?"
The wretched scholar raised his hand and gestured, saying, "This painting has ten strings!"
WTF?
An ordinary brush painting with a scroll on it was sold for ten taels of silver?
But it’s okay to think about it.
Food is more expensive during times of war, and during times of prosperity, literature and ink are naturally more expensive.
During the Hongzhi and ZTE periods in history, simple paintings and calligraphy by the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
Isn’t this faster than making money by copying books?
If you make a name for yourself, pass the exams, and stand up, you don’t have to do corvee labor, you can paint a few paintings a year, and you’ll have a wife and children on the hot bed!
Yu Tiance stared at the picture of the beautiful woman and pinched his chin.
This kind of brush painting is more abstract in shaping people's faces. If it were more realistic, it would probably be sold more expensively.
He had learned sketching in his previous life, so it shouldn't be that difficult to create a picture of a beautiful woman. The only thing that needed to be studied was the pencil.
"Madam, I've thought of a way to make quick money!"
"Oh? What's wrong with you?"
Yu Tiance took Shen Jing and bought a wooden cart first, and bought some rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, paper and pen, scrolls...
Of course, it is essential to buy some good-looking dresses for your wife, as well as accessories, jade pendants, etc., and also buy some decent clothes for yourself.
Shen Jing felt extremely distressed. He was a concubine. He had the worst food and the worst clothes since he was a child. Where had he ever worn a jade pendant?
"Lang Jun, just let me try!"
Just when Shen Jing was about to take it off and return it, Yu Tiance had already paid the money: "Buy it if it looks good. Whatever your sisters have in the future, we have to have it!"
Well……
What you say is so impressive!
Buy it with your life!
Although Shen Jing said she didn't believe it, she didn't dampen Lang Jun's confidence and nodded obediently.
Finally, Yu Tiance bought some graphite, dug some clay by the Wei River, and pushed the cart back home.
The original owner's home was on the outskirts of Xinfeng County.
After entering the door, there is a small courtyard of more than 20 square meters.
The front and left and right sides of the small courtyard are surrounded by houses, and it doesn't look particularly poor.
Yu Tiance put down the car, turned around, picked up the graphite and clay, and laid them flat to dry in the yard.
"Ms. sir, don't tire yourself out, I'm going to cook!"
The family is a bit small, and the status is a bit ordinary, but after all, he has died once.
For such a well-behaved and sensible lady to be reborn in this prosperous age where all people are happy, she has made a profit no matter what...
Suddenly, Yu Tiance's eyes blurred.
A dark dungeon appeared in front of me.
The cell was covered with withered weeds, and a gray broken wooden table was placed in the center, with an oil lamp placed on it, accompanied by the sound of mice.
A ray of light shines through the small window into the dungeon...
Is this an omen?
Is there an omen in the dark that reminds him that he will be imprisoned?
Yu Tiance shook his head.
Maybe it was the sequelae of the blow from his father-in-law?
…
Shen family, main hall.
Shen Kang covered his face and deliberately blocked the five bright red fingerprints: "Lao Jiang, that Biaozi is rich now. He blames me for this. I won't bet with him!"
Shen Kang looked at Master Jiang apologetically.
The master of the Jiang family, whose name is Jiang Hong, was born in Juren. He is the owner of the largest casino in Nancheng, and he can be considered a famous person in Xinfeng County.
"Brother Shen, you agreed to kick that scoundrel out of the Shen family and remarry Miss Jiu to my son. Seeing that it was successful right away, what did you say you were betting on?"
"Old Jiang, I didn't expect that either! That boy was lucky yesterday. My sons-in-law were all present, so I can't refuse. But don't worry, he only copies books for others, and the money won't last long..."
go!
Ten taels of silver is ten strings, ten thousand copper coins!
It won't take long?
The young couple calculated how much they would use it, and two or three years would be enough!
At this time, the housekeeper ran in and bowed to Shen Kang: "Sir, Master Jiu has spent all those ten taels of silver!"
Ha ha!
Shen Kang, who was still worried, suddenly laughed heartily.
"Old Jiang, you see what I said, right? That Biaozi just won ten taels of silver, and all the money was spent by noon!
It won't take more than five days, and they will have to come back to borrow money.
When the time comes, I will say all the unpleasant things to him, and no matter how shameless that scoundrel is, he will not pester my daughter! "
…
It’s an early autumn day and it’s very hot at noon.
The dug clay dried in the sun in one afternoon.
Yu Tiance filtered it through a sieve, mixed it with the crushed graphite powder at a ratio of 4:6, and then poured water into it bit by bit.
Then extrusion, shaping, baking...
Then break it into powder.
Add water, squeeze, shape, bake again...
On the morning of the fourth day, I finally made twenty pencil leads!
