Chapter 46: Where there is an abnormality, there must be a demon

"Go, go out and have a look."

Chen Youniao waved his hand. He has always been a rational person, and he pays attention to the cause and effect of everything.

Haidai County is still bustling, bustling and bustling.

Wangcai led the way to a large teahouse outside. The teahouse is called "Pinmingxuan", which is quite famous. Many people often gather here to drink tea and chat.The content of the chat is varied, what kind of people say what kind of words.

In the past two days, a hot topic in the teahouse is the words and poems about "Chen Youniao".It's not about how good these two are, but how high their prices are.

It is said that an original short poem written by Chen Youniao can be sold for 100 taels of silver.

This price can be called a "sky-high price", which is comparable to the price of first-class masters. If those masters are invited to make a move, the price of the touch-up pen will be about the same.

But who is Chen Youniao?

The previous "little fame" was actually only limited to a small circle, and only a group of people appreciated it.

But now, it has become known in the streets and alleys, and people are talking about it.

Whether the quality of poetry is good or bad, regardless of the basic level, what level it can reach is full of subjectivity.But the price is clearly marked, very intuitive.

100 taels for a poem, such a price immediately attracted the attention of countless people, asking who Chen Youniao was.

The information in the ancient world was underdeveloped, and the dissemination of a lot of news remained at the level of word of mouth. As for the portraits of people, they were even more distorted.

Therefore, it is not easy to find out what kind of person Chen Youniao is.

It was several days later that people learned about Chen Youniao's situation. It turned out that he was just a young man studying in different Liucao halls.

So people were outraged, they felt cheated, they thought it was a gimmick.

But later, several famous Confucian masters, including Meng Fuzi, kept claiming that this matter was true. Someone really paid a lot of money to buy Chen Youniao's calligraphy, painting and poetry, but it must be the original work.

This time, people believed it, but there are very few works written by Chen Youniao on the market, and it is difficult to find them.As for going to the door to ask, it was difficult to know where Chen Youniao lived.

Speaking of which, neither Meng Beiliu nor Chen Shanben knew the location of Chen Youniao's house.

There's no way, the place is remote, and Chen Youniao didn't take the initiative to say it.

The Chen Han brothers and sisters came to the door, and they still inquired at the clan office, asked clearly, and then searched here, and finally found it.

Living without a trace adds a bit of mystery.People went to different Liucao halls to squat, but during this period of time, Chen Youniao just didn't go to class...

……

"Young Master, I have visited. Several teahouses and restaurants are talking about you."

Wangcai said with a smile on his face: My young master is really hot, 100 taels a poem is like stealing money.No, stealing money is not such a good income.

Chen Youniao had a strange expression: "This routine is typical of hype."

Wangcai didn't understand, so he asked, "Hype? What is hype?"

Chen Youniao didn't answer, but frowned.

The hype is mainly for profit.The problem is that if this is hype, the biggest beneficiary is himself.Chen Youniao didn't know about this, which seemed strange.

He didn't believe that anyone would praise himself for no reason.

At the beginning, Mencius recommended it very well. With Mencius's character, it is impossible to pay a lot of money to buy poems.

So, who is it?

Chen Youniao couldn't figure out why, the other party's various actions showed his connections and financial resources everywhere, and he also had an indescribable influence, so he knew that he must be a very important person.

"Could it be that the classic poems I transferred from "Wen Xin Diao Long" really developed a certain fan?"

He stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Wangcai couldn't bear the joy, and asked again: "Master, if they find out where they live, will they really come to block the door, begging for words and poems?"

Chen Youniao said angrily, "How would I know?"

I thought I couldn't hide this matter for a long time. After I became a scholar or a Taoist priest, I became famous all of a sudden, and I couldn't keep a low profile anymore.

Wangcai seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help stamping his feet: "Not good."

Chen Youniao looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Wangcai regretfully said: "Young master, some pens and inks you wrote before, when I cleaned them up, I treated them as garbage. If I keep them now, can't I sell them for a few hundred taels of silver?"

Thinking of this, he almost rolled his eyes with regret, it was hundreds of taels of silver.

Chen Youniao smacked his lips loudly. He knew himself that it was impossible to sell all the pens and inks that failed to write, and even if they could be sold, they would not really sell that much.

It's very simple, there is nothing so unreasonable in the world.

The authentic works of some famous calligraphers and painters are very precious and sought after by people at that time, but the popularity of these famous artists is often related to the length of their death.To put it bluntly, if this person is still alive, the price will not be too high. Only after death, for a long time, and the works left behind become antiques, the price will increase step by step.

There is no way, if people are still there, they can continue to create new works, which will affect the market of old works. Only when people die, those things become masterpieces, and they will start to be valuable.

Applying this rule to Chen Youniao, one can see how illogical what is happening now is.

For a guy in his twenties, the works he wrote were snapped up for huge sums of money. Is the world crazy?

Anyway, Chen Youniao is not crazy.

Where there is an abnormality, there must be a demon.

After thinking about it, Chen Youniao said, "Let's go to the school."

The clan sent a carriage over, and Wangcai was the driver. Although it was his first time doing this, he was quick to learn and came in handy.

I chose to go to the thatched cottage at this time, mainly to thank Meng Beiliu in person for his recommendation.

When we arrived at the thatched cottage, we got off the carriage. It was no longer class time, and the thatched cottage seemed quiet.

As a proud student, Chen Youniao was already quite familiar with the servants of the school boy in the thatched cottage, and soon someone went to tell him, and then took him inside and took a seat in the hall.

After a while, Master Meng came out wearing a tunic robe, looking in good spirits.

Chen Youniao hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Master Meng stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, and said with a smile, "Whatever you want, the old man is just thinking about how long you will be in seclusion for a while without hearing anything outside the window. How is it, how is your reading?"

Chen Youniao replied: "Shang Ke, I came here today to expressly thank the teacher for his kindness in recommending me."

Mencius waved his hand: "It's just the fame of being a scholar. There are places every year. You have to find a suitable candidate. You can be recommended because your writing ability meets the standards. I just want to be a favor. To be honest, if you are normal If you go to take the boy's test, you can still pass the test, but it will take more time."

Chen Youniao respectfully said: "This is Enyi."

I talked some gossip again, and it was getting late, so I took my leave and left.From the beginning to the end, he didn't open his mouth to ask about the sudden popularity of asking for words and poetry.

On this matter, Meng Fuzi came forward to speak out, obviously knowing something about it.But if he didn't take the initiative to say it, Chen Youniao would not ask, so as not to embarrass the old man.
