In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since Danqing students entered Hezhou Prefectural School. Every day, apart from taking daily classes and asking for advice from others, I just take care of myself and paint in my room. Other scholars invited him to go out to play and drink, but Danqingsheng declined them all. Such a low-key and down-to-earth behavior surprised everyone. Based on Dan Qingsheng¡¯s behavior in the past, he was basically someone who could get into trouble just by walking on the street. But now, he has almost become a role model for nerds who are dedicated to learning. Everything has two sides. The good side is that Dan Qingsheng has not caused any trouble in the past two months. The bad side is that it also caused a lot of rumors. "Do you really want to be a coward?" Gu Shaoshang angrily opened the door and rushed to Dan Qingsheng in a few steps. The state school is a boarding school, with two students sharing a room. Gu Shaoshang and Dan Qingsheng were roommates. He knew Dan Qingsheng's situation better than anyone else and had more resentment than anyone else. Others only know that Dan Qingsheng doesn¡¯t like to go out, but Gu Shaoshang knows that it is not as simple as Dan Qingsheng not liking to go out. Since entering the gate of Zhouxue, the painting students have never left. Dan Qingsheng glanced at Gu Shaoshang, then looked outside. Xiaoyu and Wang Xiaofeng stuck their heads out depressedly. "Sir, we" Xiaoyu looked aggrieved. The two little followers are now the full-time study companions and part-time doormen of the painting student. Every time Dan Qingsheng was painting in the room, the two of them would guard the door. You can still feel confident just stopping others, but Gu Shaoshang is also involved in this room. "It's okay, you go down first." Dan Qingsheng put down his brush. Xiao Yu and Wang Xiaofeng left, and Gu Shaoshang said angrily: "Qingsheng, do you know what people are wearing outside now? You haven't been out the door all day, and people outside say you are too scared." Learn from those guys." "Isn't it the day of the literary meeting?" Dan Qingsheng spread out another piece of paper. Now Danqingsheng feels that there is really no way to avoid this literary meeting. People's words are terrible. The day has not yet come, but there are so many rumors. If it is spread so powerfully, it will inevitably affect your studies. "Even if you don't get to the literary meeting, you can't even leave the house." Gu Shaoshang stamped his feet. The painter picked up the inkstone, shook it, and sighed: "Okay, I don't have any ink anyway, so I just went out to buy some." Pens, ink, paper, and inkstones will be provided by the state academy, but there are also quotas. Although Xu Wenyuan is interested in painting students, he will not break the rules of the state school. However, Dan Qingsheng used a lot of paint and often painted remnants of paintings, so the allotment was simply not enough. In the past, Xiao Yu and Wang Xiaofeng were asked to buy it back. Today, since Gu Shaoshang was stuck here questioning them, they simply went out for a walk. "Young Shang, how about coming with me?" Dan Qingsheng took the money and prepared to go out. Gu Shaoshang opened his mouth, feeling stuffy in his chest. His original intention was to get the painters to take some action to silence those academic scholars, even if they only wrote one or two poems and spread them out. But who would have imagined that Dan Qingsheng would actually just go out shopping. ¡ ¡ Dan Qingsheng and Gu Shaoshang went out, followed by Xiao Yu and Wang Xiaofeng as usual. There is a street called Lihua Lane in Hezhou City. The shops in it only sell the Four Treasures of the Study, and it is the favorite place for scholars in Hezhou. Dan Qingsheng said he wanted to buy ink, so Gu Shaoshang took him there directly. Of course, Gu Shaoshang also had some evil thoughts. Where scholars like to come, there is naturally no shortage of scholars. After suppressing it for more than two months, Gu Shaoshang felt that it was time for Dan Qingsheng to show his sword. Gu Shaoshang deliberately waved a paper fan and walked in a grand manner, fearing that no one would cause trouble for him. What disappoints Gu Shaoshang is that after walking around in the streets, he encountered a lot of scholars, but they were all the kind who couldn't stand up to the public. When he saw Gu Shaoshang, he would lower his head and hide away, so how could he mess with a new face like Dan Qingsheng. Dan Qingsheng just found Gu Shaoshang's little thoughts interesting and didn't pay much attention to them. He only focused on buying his own things. After entering a store, Dan Qingsheng immediately saw a row of things on the shelves. On the shelf, there is a strip box about one foot long, with the lid open, and there are seven ink sticks inside. Unlike ordinary ink sticks, these ink sticks are colored. Red, yellow, cyan, green, blue, brown and white, a total of seven colors. Color ink. This kind of ink is specially used for painting. Although it is sold less, it is not a rarity. However, the colors that Dan Qingsheng saw were extremely pure and gorgeous, with a faint crystal-like luster. When Dan Qingsheng saw it, he was very fond of it and hurriedly called the boss. "Boss, how much do these colored inks cost?" "This young man has good taste." The boss quickly took off the box and put it away.?On the counter: "In the entire Lihua Lane, I am the only one who has this high-quality color ink, and there is only this box left" Dan Qingsheng smiled and waved his hand: "The boss doesn't need to say more, just give me a price. "Okay." "Young master," the boss chuckled, "Since you really want it, just two hundred taels." Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly widened after hearing this, "Why don't you go and grab it?" . Don¡¯t bully my young master for not understanding the market. I¡¯ve bought colored ink before, and the best one was only five taels. The total of your seven dollars is at most thirty or forty taels.¡± Gu Shaoshang also shook his head: ¡°Boss, we are from the state. Bachelor's degree, don't be too greedy. " "Don't talk about Zhou Xue, even if you are a bachelor, I will still pay the same price." The boss did not relent: "My ink is called crystal color ink, and it will never be painted on paper. After the ink dries, the color will not fade even if it is sprinkled with water. Two hundred taels of silver are already very cheap. When I sold it, I sold it for two hundred and fifty taels. It must be two hundred and fifty." Xiao Yu is very familiar with bargaining: "Boss, it's too expensive. It's the last box anyway, so it's cheaper" Wang Xiaofeng also said, "That's right, it's all left over by others, fifty. Forget it. " "Hey, you kid, fifty taels is too bad" Gu Shaoshang, Xiao Yu, and Wang Xiaofeng took turns discussing the price with the boss, and Dan Qingsheng, the real buyer, was pushed aside. . Just when the shop owner couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to let go, a voice suddenly sounded from the door. "How can such a treasure be bought in a vegetable market and just negotiate the price? I bought it for five hundred taels." Everyone looked back and saw a young man wearing the clothes of an imperial scholar walked in. "Wu Jiang!" Gu Shaoshang's pupils shrank. When the boss saw the man, he smiled happily and strode out to greet him: "Master Wu, you are here." Dan Qingsheng glanced at the man and felt that this man had good cultivation, so he asked in a low voice: "Young master, you are here." "Shang, who is this person?" "Wu Jiang, a scholar from the Imperial Academy." Gu Shaoshang glanced at Dan Qingsheng playfully: "The first scholar from the Imperial Academy." Gu Shaoshang was once the first scholar in Anyuan Prefecture. , but it is just a nickname given by everyone. However, the title of the first scholar of Taixue is a relatively practical title. The first scholar is the leader of all the scholars. In addition to setting an example, he often teaches for doctors and even supervises and rectifies the academic style. In the true sense, he is the number one scholar! However, when Dan Qingsheng went to Taixue to break the lantern, Wu Jiang was not present, so he did not know Dan Qingsheng. "Gu Shaoshang, I didn't expect you to like this too." Wu Jiang and Gu Shaoshang obviously knew each other, and said with a bit of ridicule: "But as far as I know, your paintings are not as good as poetry." "Brother Wu misunderstood, I am not the one who wants this ink." Gu Shaoshang smiled evilly: "Let me introduce to you, the person next to me, a painter." When Wu Jiang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to Paintings are born. "Are you a painter?!" The painter glanced at Gu Shaoshang, who was smiling evilly, and nodded helplessly. Wu Jiang smiled playfully: "Since it's you, I won't give up this ink. Boss, I bought it for five hundred taels." Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at Wu Jiang bitterly: "Someone painted before and bought it for two hundred and fifty taels. You're stupid, you actually drew five hundred taels, it's just two two hundred and fifty." Wu Jiang's smile suddenly froze. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª PS: If I write about 250, I¡¯ll just post an allusion to 250, so as not to be called an internet slang. This allusion comes from many sources, and I don¡¯t know which one it is from, but most of them are ancient stories. I will only mention the oldest one here. During the Warring States Period, Su Qinpei was a member of the Six Kingdoms, and he was unparalleled in the limelight, but he also had many enemies. He was later killed in the Qi Kingdom. King Qi was angry and wanted to avenge Su Qin, but he couldn't find the murderer for a while, so he thought of a plan. The King of Qi had Su Tai's head hung on the city gate, and a notice was posted next to it, saying: "Su Qin is a traitor. Kill him and get a thousand taels of gold. Come and receive the reward." As soon as the notice was posted, there were four He personally claimed that he killed Su Qin. King Qi said: "You are not allowed to pretend!" The four men all insisted that they did it. King Qi said: "One thousand taels of gold, how much will the four of you get?" The four replied in unison: "Two hundred and five for each person." King Qi slapped the table and said angrily: "Come here, push out these four 'two hundred and five' Beheaded!" Ever since, the term "two hundred and five" has been passed down.
