Chapter 229 Confucianism and Taoism Struggle

Chu Ningyan sent Sun Sheng and Luo Quan back to announce the good news, and went to the dental shop to buy two more embroidered queens.So he took Quanshun to Hongyi Bookstore.

"Welcome, do you want to buy books or sell books?" The shopkeeper had just sent a group of Confucian scholars out, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Ningyan get off the donkey cart.Hastily greeted him.

"Shopkeeper Fang, don't you recognize me?" Chu Ningyan smiled at the shopkeeper.

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was surprised, is this an acquaintance?Taking a closer look, she was still a little familiar, "Miss Chu?"

"Hush" Chu Ningyan smiled and made a shush gesture. "I am Mr. Chu today."

"Haha, Mr. Chu, please come inside." The shopkeeper stroked his beard and laughed.

Entering Hongyi Bookstore, one can see that there are crowded people inside. Students dressed as scholars stand or sit, reading books quietly, but there are too many people, even if they don't make a sound, they can't help but be a little noisy.

"Shopkeeper, the business has been pretty good these past few days." Chu Ningyan looked at the place where the flower notes were placed in front of the counter, and there were only a few scattered ones on it.

"Haha, it can't compare to Zhiyuan Bookstore." The shopkeeper Fang waved his hands, his tone was only envious, not jealous. "I heard that two days ago, the Four Treasures of the Study in Zhiyuan Bookstore were sold out."

"Really, after all, Zhiyuan Bookstore is the convener of this literary conference, and it's inevitable that it will be popular." Chu Ningyan said casually.

The two came to the private room in surprise while they were talking.

Quanshun put the bamboo box he was carrying on the table, and pushed it behind Chu Ningyan.

"Shopkeeper Fang, take a look." Chu Ningyan pushed the small box towards the shopkeeper Fang.

"Okay." The shopkeeper smiled even more, "Oh, Miss Chu, you came in time. You didn't know that someone came to ask about the flower notes you drew two days ago. Some came from Xiadu, and some came from Jiangducheng. It’s here. I just sent away a few students who came looking for Huajian.”

Chu Ningyan smiled and said nothing, the shopkeeper's words were too exaggerated, making it look like those people came to Luzhou City specially to buy flower paper.

"Tsk tsk! Miss Chu's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Seeing how beautiful the flower paper is, I can't bear to write on it anymore, for fear that my poor handwriting will destroy this exquisite painting." The shopkeeper held the flower Take out the notes and appreciate them one by one.

"It's so beautiful, no wonder the Confucian scholars asked the old man to tell you that you must draw two copies of each flower paper."

"Huh?" Chu Ningyan was puzzled, she didn't like to draw repetitive things, so even if she painted the same flower, she could still draw flowers in different shapes.

"Write a copy, keep a copy!" Fang shopkeeper took it for granted. "Miss Chu, why don't you draw an extra copy, here are all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones..."

Chu Ningyan was speechless when she heard the words, and quickly stopped him from continuing, "Master Fang, you know my rules."

The shopkeeper was somewhat unwilling, but after dealing with Chu Ningyan for two months and knowing her temperament, he had no choice but to give up. "Is this a handwritten copy of Li Weng's rhyme?" The shopkeeper Fang took out two books from under the box and browsed them.

"Well, I've been busy recently, and I haven't had time to deliver the book. I don't know if the supply of this book is sufficient now?" Chu Ningyan asked. It was sold out at the time, but now it is probably engraved.

"Of course, the more the better." Especially the manuscripts of Master Rumeng are very popular.

Chu Ningyan nodded, "Then trouble the shopkeeper to bring me three knives of raw-edged paper, one knife for 4-foot raw Xuan, and half a knife for 4-foot cooked Xuan, medium ones will do, it doesn't need to be too good."

"For pens, there are three brushes in capital letters, one grabbing pen, one each in capital letters of Yanghao and Howling Wolf, three more small letters, and one liner pen." Chu Ningyan thought for a while and added ink strips, colored ink strips.

Hearing what Chu Ningyan said as if she was buying goods, the shopkeeper was stunned for a while before saying, "Okay, Miss Chu has a better pen and ink?"

"No need, the pen is selected as the top one, and the ink is just medium and low. It doesn't need to be so expensive, it's just a soldier's consumable." Chu Ningyan said indifferently.

The shopkeeper heard the straight criminal muttering, Miss Chu seemed a little stingy, judging by the flower notes she brought today, they could be exchanged for more than a dozen sets of the Four Treasures of the Study.

"Trouble shopkeeper."

"Then wait a moment."

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ningyan led the way, and Quan Shun left Hongyi Bookstore carrying a large box.

The shopkeeper immediately put the flower paper on the shelf, and took out the sign that had been prepared and hung it up. "cough cough"

The guy next to him understood, "Shopkeeper, is this the flower note from Master Rumeng?"

"Your eyesight is not bad."

"Of course, Master Rumeng's flower paper is very different and lifelike, you can tell it at a glance."

……

The voices of the conversation between the two were not low. Those scholars who knew about Ru Meng put down their books one after another and rushed to the counter. If they didn't know about Ru Meng, they also put down their books to inquire about each other.

In short, the news that Rumeng's flower papers were in stock spread like the wind in less than a quarter of an hour, and everyone in Luzhou City who loves flower papers knew the news.They immediately sent people to buy them. Some of them got the flower paper, but some still didn't.

Those who bought it were naturally happy, but those who didn't bought it regretted it, and tried their best to find out the identity of Master Rumeng.It's a pity that shopkeeper Hongyi signed a confidentiality contract with Chu Ningyan, and he can't tell other people, otherwise he can already realize the freedom of wealth.

The next day, the Wenhui was held, and all scholars and Confucian scholars gathered at the Mingxin Temple outside Luzhou City.

Mingxin Temple is located on the mountainside of Zhegu Mountain outside Luzhou City, with an altitude of more than 1000 meters.It takes about one to two hours to climb up from the bottom of the mountain, so the opening ceremony of the literary society is in the evening, when the sun is about to set.

Confucian scholars require both civil and military skills, and even scholars who study at home also require fan riding and shooting, so climbing a thousand-meter-high mountain is no problem for them.

More Confucian scholars talked about the mountains and rivers while climbing the mountain, or expressed their feelings of worrying about the country and the people.It can be said that the opening ceremony of the Wenhui has not yet been held, but the Wenhui actually started from the moment of climbing the mountain.

"Brother Lu, I heard that you got a piece of paper from Rumeng everyone yesterday, take it out and have a look!"

"There is such a thing, but, brother Lin, I remember that you don't seem to like flower paper?" Before, this person told himself that things like flower paper are twitching.

"Ahem, haven't you heard rumors from Rumeng all night? I'm a little curious." The scholar said shyly.

"Well, let's look at the steps in front. This place is too narrow."

"it is good."

The two quickened their pace, bypassed several scholars, and came to a platform for people to rest.Lu Shusheng took off his bookcase, and took out the exquisite flower note from a book with great care.

"Wow~" Lin Shusheng saw the flower paper and thought he saw a picture of flowers and birds. He was shocked, but after a closer look, the painting was very light in color and it was not in the center of the paper.

The opening posture of the flowers is also very particular, and it is actually around the center.Obviously to set off the words on the paper.Of course there is no writing on it at the moment.

"It's really thick ink and light color, and it's a workmanship." Lin Shusheng nodded, and looked at Lu Shusheng sincerely, "Brother Lu, you already have three pieces of flower paper from Master Rumeng, why don't you give this flower paper to me?" ?”

"Are you dreaming?" Lu Shusheng stretched out his hand, pulled the flower note back, and put it back in the book.Carrying the bookcase on his back, he set foot on the stone steps again.

"Hey, Brother Lu, wait for me!" (End of this chapter)
