Chapter 93 Ancient (21) Mr. Mu Xin

As Xue Jiagui was a person who had cooperated with Yanjin on the surface for a long time, Yan Nanxu had sent someone to investigate him.

The results of the investigation were nothing special. Xue Jiagui was a real businessman who valued profit over righteousness. He probably cooperated with Yanjin because he was dissatisfied with the strategy he adopted under his political status as a businessman.

But at the same time, some special little things were also found out——Xue Jiagui has a bit of an arty hobby. He likes to collect calligraphy and paintings of famous people, and he is not stingy about spending money on them.

Therefore, Yan Nanxu's official script was to lure Xue Jiagui into taking the bait.

Yan Ze and his group prepared for Cao Yushi for a few days and then went to the northern border as planned.

And Yan Nanxu has been writing copybooks for the past few days. All the fonts are in official script, and the content is mostly self-created articles describing the leisure and leisure of beautiful rivers and mountains, and some are directly copied from the ancient books of the previous dynasty.Finally, I selected the most satisfactory articles and handed them over to Cao Yushi.

Cao Yushi had been an official in the capital for half his life, and because of his personality, he didn't often interact with officials of the same period, so there were quite a few literati and poets among his friends.

The copybook was secretly given to several trusted friends of Cao Yushi, without mentioning too much, just saying that I found a person by chance, his calligraphy and painting were unique and self-contained. Come to the capital, hoping to let the world know.

After reading the copybook, those few friends shouted "miracle" and called it "serious bronze, exquisite ancient jade". They are also well-known in the literati circle, so they held a banquet specially for this purpose, and vowed to use this calligraphy. Let it shine!
No one has ever seen official script in this world, but it turns out that even though the historical trajectories are different, people's aesthetics are the same, and the unique aesthetics in calligraphy amazes everyone.

The exquisite and unheard of calligraphy coupled with the admiration of famous artists, the literati in the capital are vying for it.

Yan Nanxu signed "Mu Xin" at the end of the copybook. When the copybook became famous, countless people also began to ask who this Mr. Mu Xin was, but they all returned in vain.

This Mr. Mu Xin is very mysterious. It is said that no one knows his whereabouts except Mr. Lu from Mingyue Tower, and no one has seen him in real life.

You know, literati love the feeling of "still holding the pipa and half covering your face". For a while, some people said that Mr. Mu Xin was a tourist from a distant country, and the official script was the calligraphy of his country. Some people said that Mr. Mu Xin was a hidden A descendant of the family of the world, what's more, he is an immortal in the sky, who was ordered to enter the world to teach this kind of calligraphy in the world...

All in all, this mysterious color makes the copybooks extremely precious. Coupled with the limited quantity, no one can teach others how to copy them. The copybooks of Mr. Mu Xin have become priceless. .

There was such a big commotion in the literary world in the capital. Yanjin was not interested in it and would not care about it, while Xue Jiagui started frantically seeking Mr. Mu Xin's works like a fishy cat.

However, ordinary literati don't like businessmen who have a strong sense of money. There are few copybooks, and those who own copybooks are not those who are short of money. Xue Jiagui is bumping into walls everywhere. Yan Jin grabbed a pair for him.

But as soon as this idea came out, Xue Jiagui immediately said harsh words to one of the people who owned the copybook: "The price will be paid by the husband, but if the husband refuses again, don't blame me to ask the current emperor for instructions!"

The emperor's name obviously bluffed that person, but he still didn't seem to want to. He frowned and thought for a while, and suggested: "If Yuanwai Xue really said that...why not go directly to Mr. Lu in Mingyuelou? He will match you up and get to know Mr. Mu Xin, if that's the case, don't you want as many copies as you want?"

These words awakened Xue Jiagui instantly, indeed, why not go directly to the author?

So Xue Jiagui immediately went to Mr. Lu who went to the Mingyue Tower. He was not ambiguous, and he directly moved out of the banquet to suppress people. Mr. Lu shrugged off a few times in embarrassment, but seeing Xue Jiagui's tough attitude, he really had no choice but agreed to arrange for him to have a relationship with him Young Master Mu Xin met, but the time and place were decided by them.

Xue Jiagui had no objection, he just asked as soon as possible.

Mr. Lu was really quick in his work, and he came to the door the next day to say that Mr. Mu Xin agreed to meet, and the place was at Mingyue Tower.

Xue Jiagui did not doubt that he was there, and immediately set off to Mingyue Tower, where his attendants led him to Yage.

Incense was burning inside the pavilion, making it very warm. The curtain in the middle was lowered, and Xue Jiagui could only see a vague figure sitting in it.

Xue Jiagui was well aware of the temperament of literati, so he didn't want to be too extreme for the time being, so he bowed politely and said, "Xue is bothering you, but you are really in love with your calligraphy and painting, so I would like to ask to see you."

The people inside the curtain didn't answer, Xue Jiagui could only see his figure moving, and then the attendant around him walked out of the curtain with a piece of cloth and handed it to Xue Jiagui.

The answer was written in official script on the cloth: "I have understood Yuan Wai's intention. I wonder what specifically Yuan Wai has to do?"

Xue Jiagui felt ecstasy holding the cloth—to be honest, when he came in, he was still a little worried about whether the real Mr. Mu Xin was inside the curtain, but now looking at this beautiful official script, it is definitely true!As for why Mr. Mu Xin didn't speak up, he didn't care at all. What kind of literati's eccentricity is it?
"Indeed, I have something to invite, and I hope to ask for the work of the young master!" Xue Jiagui said excitedly.

The person behind the curtain wrote another piece of cloth and sent it over, "What does Yuanwai Xue want to exchange for it?"

Putting forward conditions means that there is hope, Xue Jiagui immediately said: "Anything, as long as money can buy it, I will definitely be able to deliver it to the young master!"

Bubo sent it out again, "Then I won't bother Xue Yuanwai anymore, Yuanwai can just exchange it with money."

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!For Xue Jiagui, money is the best thing to find.

"Okay! Then let's make an offer, my lord."

"Don't worry, just tell me what work Yuanwai wants to write."

Xue Jiagui originally thought that he could just say it directly, but then he thought about it, since we have reached this point, why not ask more, "I think you are also very talented in writing, I wonder if you can write a thousand-character praise for my Xue family?"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have been under the political status since ancient times. There are very few people who have left their names in history. The most important thing is to leave traces in history. Now if Mr. Mu Xin specially writes for him, will he be able to live forever with his works?
Xue Jiagui will never let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Okay." Young Master Mu Xin readily agreed.

"Young Master, hurry up and make an offer." Xue Jiagui said impatiently, for fear that the man would suddenly regret it.

The figure inside the curtain moved again, and after a while the attendant came out with a cloth on which only four words were written—
"One word is worth a thousand dollars".
