Chapter 350 Verification (5K+)

Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian blushed even more in response to the booing from the common people.

After staying in the dilapidated thatched hut of Baoling Wenguan for many years, I also dealt with neighbors in the neighborhood on a daily basis. It was the first time I encountered such a thing as being watched by so many people, and I was really not used to it.

But compared to the unaccustomedness of the two of them, Miss Jiang Si on the opposite side is different.The expression is calm and composed, this calm and relaxed look is really different from ordinary people like them.This is probably the bearing of the so-called Miss Bofu!The two thought wildly: It really is different.

Jiang Shaoyan didn't know that she was so different in the hearts of the two gentlemen, but she just stood there and said to the people in the hall: "This gravel was originally the town hall stone of Baoling Wenguan."

There is nothing wrong with this statement. Apart from a shelf, the Baoling Wenguan only has windows that let in the wind on all sides, dilapidated tables and chairs with missing arms and legs, and a pile of enlightenment books that can be seen everywhere in ordinary bookstores.

The most valuable thing in the huge literary museum is the Shoushan stone. From the perspective of the stone alone, it is worth a hundred and 80 taels!
Although the people of Baoling did not enter the Wenguan very much, after all, many people passed by the Wenguan. This rock is placed in the middle of the Wenguan. Once the gate is opened, the people passing by can see the rock and don’t think it is dangerous. nothing special.To put it bluntly, even thieves don't bother to steal this cheap, heavy and hard-to-handle rock material.

As for when the rocks of the Wenguan were "borrowed" to Jiang's Bieyuan, not many people really cared.

What kind of flowers can a total of 80 taels of Shoushan stone produce?It was the people who had broken out the stone at a glance before and said: "This stone is worth this money, unless it is something made by a great craftsman that is worth some money!"

Although I like to watch the excitement, but when it comes to my old business, and there are so many people watching, the people naturally don't dare to talk nonsense. After watching it carefully for a while, they said again: "But if you are a great craftsman, you won't use this. It's made of ordinary materials."

After all, the things that great craftsmen sell are all the back houses of powerful and wealthy households. Only good materials and good craftsmen can be sold at a good price.Which great craftsman who is full and has nothing to do uses ordinary materials to practice his hands?Which rich man would want something made of ordinary materials?It can only be sold to ordinary people, but the price is not so high.Besides, no matter what the material is, the painstaking effort spent is the same.

That being the case, why not just use the best materials?
After all, the value measure fools know how to choose.

Therefore, just looking at the material of this Shoushan Stone, one can tell that it is not the handwriting of any great craftsman.

Jiang Shaoyan in the hall nodded to what this commoner said, and said: "This Shoushan stone is indeed not made by a great craftsman. After all, ordinary great craftsmen don't waste their time with such materials when they are full and have nothing to do."

The old people who got Jiang Shaoyan's affirmation blushed suddenly when they heard the words, and they looked at Mr. Liang, Mr. Qian, Jiang Shaoyan and others standing at a loss in the hall, showing some sympathy: He came here to watch the excitement, to watch the excitement In the middle of it, he showed off his knowledge and ability, but now Miss Jiang Si didn't open her mouth to talk nonsense, but affirmed what he said, so... the situation seems to be a bit bad for Miss Jiang Si and the others!
So after thinking about it, the common people helped smooth things over: "However, although the material is not good, it is not from the hands of some great craftsman. The shape of this mountain stone has some charm. Maybe in a few years, the person who carved the mountain stone will also Maybe he will become famous."

This is not a lie, he is in this business, and he can often see the rocks in the library when he passes by the library. They are indeed well made, but it is a pity that the materials are not good, and they are not made by great craftsmen. , same as Baoling Wenguan, worthless.

However, the so-called "little fame" and other words are really too empty. I don't know when I will be "famous"!For those depressed literati, painters, craftsmen, etc., they would brag like this in order to save face.

Still thinking like this, Jiang Shaoyan, who was standing in the hall, still had an unhurried expression. Amid the boos of the people, she always reacted calmly.

"However... Ordinary great craftsmen don't have enough to eat and have nothing to do, but there are people in this world who are full... Cough, doing such things when they are free." The girl said and looked at everyone, "Really Celebrities are unrestrained and unrestrained, and they do what they want, decades ago, someone judged a scholar like this."

When Jiang Shaoyan said this, she also felt a little emotional: the same thing, different people do it differently.Craftsmen do it because they are full and have nothing to do, but some people do it casually... Some people can be blown out of flowers just by taking a walk. Coincidentally, in her last life, there was one like this. Impressive biological father.

There are not many people in the world who can be judged as "real celebrities are unrestrained, unrestrained, and do what they want", not to mention that this famous person's reputation spread throughout the Dajing, Dazhou and Zhou dynasties, but anyone who is not "keeps ears off the window" , even ordinary people have heard of it.

"The real celebrity Miss Jiang Si is talking about is Mr. Jiang!"

"Yes! Who else but him?"

"I heard that Jiang Gong knows everything about astronomy and geography. He is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is even more free and easy. He can be said to be an example of the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties!"

"Didn't there be some people who said 'a river came out of Hexi, sucking up the literary talents of Hexi for 300 years'?"

"That's true! Anyway, the Jiang family doesn't have any powerful figures except Mr. Jiang!"

……

Speaking of Mr. Jiang, the common people talked a lot, and they could all talk about it. After all, he is such a great celebrity. Some people said that this is the reincarnation of Wenquxing!

Listening to the people's discussion, Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's been more than 30 years since he passed away, and the people still talk about it when he mentions his name."Her biological father in her previous life was really powerful, but it's a pity that she didn't have much impression after all!
He is indeed a powerful person, even if he has no impression, it still can't affect Jiang Shaoyan's evaluation.The one who can be liked by him is naturally a beauty. This can be seen from her appearance in the previous life.

It's just that compared to Mr. Jiang's power, her extremely beautiful biological mother seems to be unable to find anything impressive other than being beautiful, weak and kind-hearted.

It's good to be beautiful and kind, but if you're weak...Jiang Shaoyan feels that although she doesn't have to be a heroine like Fang Zhihui's "strength can carry a tripod", at least she must have the ability to protect herself.

In her opinion, Mrs. Jiang should have cut off contact with Mrs. Li and others long ago. The beautiful Mrs. Jiang couldn't handle people like Mrs. Li's Dali and Xiaoli's.Partial and soft-hearted, he was persuaded and wanted to bring Mrs. Li's mother and daughter to Beijing.If Jiang Gong hadn't prevaricated when he was alive, Chang'an City would have been their world at that time.

However, Jiang Gong is also a hero who is sad about the beauty pass, and he can't bear to see the beauty in embarrassment.Jiang Shaoyan thought more than once that if she were, she might do it without telling Mrs. Jiang.

After all, a wicked person like Mrs. Li is too dangerous, one who is not careful can easily hurt the people around her.

Eh!She is really not a good person!Jiang Shaoyan sighed, and broke away from the old things in her past life, and looked at everyone: "Are you wondering why I suddenly mentioned the deceased Jiang Gong at this time?"

Just as Mr. Jiang was talking about the excitement, the people suddenly fell silent. After a moment of pause, someone said in surprise: "Could it be..."

"That's right!" Before the common people could speak, Jiang Shaoyan looked at the crowd with an awe-inspiring expression, "It is true that this rock was not carved by a great craftsman, but a literati who passed through Baoling City in Jiangnan Road with nothing to do. The literati are none other than Duke Jiang!"

As soon as these words came out, without waiting for the people in the hall to react, the pale-faced Master Jiang San in the hall immediately exclaimed: "This is impossible!"

What are you kidding?In the backcountry of Baoling City, there will be Jiang Gong's things?Even lying must have a limit!
Although he doesn't know how to be a literati, at least he can be considered a little bit of a net worth by virtue of his elder brother. He has some discernment among a group of cronies, oh no, confidantes and friends.

Speaking of Jiang Gong, how many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty don't know?It is rumored that this person is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, who knows everything, and is very powerful.As for how powerful it is, he is an ordinary person, he doesn't know the descriptions of those poems and work, he only knows that this person's things are very valuable!

A painting, a piece of calligraphy, an inkstone made, a stone carved...everything is worth a thousand gold, and if it is placed in Chang'an City, no matter the old or the new rich and powerful, they will compete fiercely for it.

One of Mr. Jiang's things can be hung out for half a year, and it can even be regarded as a family heirloom.

Such a valuable thing has already entered the treasury of the imperial city and the warehouses of the rich and powerful in the capital. How many people are left?If this Baoling Wenguan really had such a thing, it would have confessed it a long time ago, and would let the fourth girl borrow it as soon as she wanted?
Even if you don't sell this stuff, if you put up a "Carved by Mr. Jiang" sign in front of this stuff, and touch a tael of silver, I'm afraid people will come to worship Wenquxing every day!
If there was such a thing, how would the two hostesses in this hall be dressed like this?Look at the clothes they are wearing are all worn out, they look poor and poor!
Obviously, it was not only Master Jiang San who thought it was "impossible", even the people in Baoling City couldn't believe it!

Their Baoling City still has this thing made by the reincarnation of Wenquxing?how can that be?If there is something about the reincarnation of Wenquxing, then the Wenguan in Baoling City will be as famous as the teahouse.

"Although I think Miss Jiang Si is a nice person, but... to be honest, I don't really believe it!" Someone said hesitantly, "I've never heard of that!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted many responses.

good!When did Baoling have this thing?Many people in the hall have their ancestors rooted here, but they have never heard of such a thing.

"I'm ashamed to say that, as managers, we didn't pay attention to it before." Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian looked at each other, with a trace of shame on his face, "I just feel that although the material of this mountain stone is not good, the engraving is Not bad. I didn’t find out until today that this is actually Jiang Gong’s system, but we didn’t protect it well, it was our oversight!”

It took me a long time to find out today, this oversight... a little bit powerful!The people are not without opinions, but compared with opinions, they are still the most confused at this time.

"How can you be sure that this was engraved by Mr. Jiang himself?"

"You can't just say it without evidence. It involves Mr. Jiang. I'm afraid that once the boast is made, there will be many literati who will come to verify it. If it is found out that it is not the case, it will really make people laugh!"

Rather than overseeing anything, it is most important to be sure that the ordinary but well-made rock in front of him is really the handicraft of Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian took out a copy of "Literary Notes" from their arms and showed it to everyone.

"This is the handbook of the Wenguan 37 years ago. It is recorded that it was the father of the two of us who was in charge at the time." Mr. Liang said, pointing to one of the pages, and walked to the front of the hall to share with the people in the hall and the clerks in the hall. Waiting for someone to read it one by one.

"It is recorded that a literati passed by the Wenguan in the first lunar month of the Lantern Festival. It coincided with the rare winter snow in Jiangnan Road, so they took shelter under the eaves. Ashamed to say, there was no one in the Baoling Wenguan. My two fathers saw someone taking shelter from the snow. So he invited him in, poured him a cup of hot tea, and chatted with him. Then I found that this scribe was not only elegant in appearance, but also very insightful. Listening to his words made people reluctant to leave. Wait until he left , the scribe drew out his soft sword from his waist, and dancing the sword in the snow was really graceful. They clapped their hands and praised, but the scribe put away his sword and frowned, saying that the courtyard of the library is empty and lacks some artistic conception. He will send a mountain stone some other day The late father didn't take it seriously, he thought it was a joke, and after staying for two days, he really received someone carrying a rock into the courtyard. Only then did he realize that he was not joking, but he never saw him again."

This is the origin of the mountain stone materials, and there are not many items in Baoling Wenguan, so it is natural to record them carefully.

Originally thought that beating unfilial sons today was the same as the previous days, and it was a way of parents' quarrel, but I didn't expect that today is not only a parent's quarrel, but also people like Jiang Gong.

It’s best to watch the lively people of Baoling watching them fascinated, this is really no worse than the storytelling of Baoling Teahouse!Look, isn't Mr. Jiang from the teahouse here to watch the excitement?Maybe I read it today, but in a few days the teahouse will be talking about what happened in the yamen today.

"It looks like a joke but it's not a joke." The real celebrity naturally "a gentleman's words are hard to follow."

Although the content description in "Literary Notes" is not full of rhetoric, and the descriptive words are mediocre, but even the mediocre words in the recorded content make people think about it.

Drinking tea while avoiding the snow, talking with each other while watching the snow, dancing sword after the snow, a few words are enough for people to get a glimpse of the demeanor of that famous celebrity.Most of the common people who are used to hearing stories about heroes in teahouses have already believed it.

However, there is no basis for words, and Guangxin is of course useless. The "Wenguan Notes" can only be used as a reference, but it is not possible to borrow a copy of "Wenguan Notes" to say that this mountain stone was carved by Mr. Jiang himself.Even if this "Literary Notes" is verified to be an old thing 37 years ago, so what?You know, although many literati and painters became famous after their death, Mr. Jiang is a rare person who became famous during his lifetime. Everything related to him is worth thousands of dollars. Who can be sure if you will start rubbing against Jiang in those years? Duke's name?

Therefore, "Literary Notes" cannot be used as evidence. After all, this is a yamen, not a teahouse, and it cannot be what everyone thinks it is.

"Of course "Literary Notes" can't be used as evidence, it's just a record of this incident." The girl said "Xiangli", and Xiangli excitedly ran up from the hall with a few books in her arms.

Following the fourth young lady really exercised her eyesight, she even went to court in person!In the future, when I return to Chang'an, I will be able to brag with a few good nuns.

Picking up the top book "Journey to the South of the Yangtze River", Jiang Shaoyan flipped a page to show everyone: "Dr. Jiang was fond of traveling during his lifetime, and he came to Jiangnan Road quite a few times. He even met Mrs. Jiang here."

The people of Baoling, who had heard too many storytelling stories in teahouses, sighed: That beautiful and unlucky Mrs. Jiang is also pitiful. She has met the best husband in the world, but she is very lucky!
There are not a few travel notes written by Jiang Gong who is good at traveling, and there are also notes about Jiangnan Road. This "Jiangnan Road Travel Notes" was written by Jiang Gong himself.

Since it was written by Jiang Gong himself, there will naturally be no problems.

"37 years ago was the [-]st year of Dajing," the girl said in a gentle tone, but her voice was cold, and she pronounced her words very clearly. All the people and officials present could hear them clearly. With the sound of flipping books, the girl's voice was faint. It sounded, "Dajing [-], a small town named Baoling entered the east of Gusu City. The folk customs in the city are simple and simple, and it coincides with the Lantern Festival on the first lunar month. Although it is not dark at night, lanterns are hung all over the street. The first snow in the small town has its own artistic conception. At noon Afterwards, the snow was heavy, and I took shelter from the snow in the Chinese Museum in the city. The owner of the museum was honest and simple, and invited someone to come in, watch the snow and talk, and the conversation was very happy! The snow stopped for more than an hour. I felt that it was empty inside, so I gave it another day to thank Xuezhong for the gift of tea!"

Regardless of the year or the content, the content in "Literary Notes" is consistent with the content in "Journey to the South of the Yangtze River".

But the evidence given by the girl does not stop there.

"There are not many people playing with stones in Baoling City, so the only stone shops in the city are Huangshizhai's stone shop in Baoling." The girl said and looked at everyone, "Huangshizhai is also considered a time-honored brand, although it is generally good. But not every shop is good, there are losses and profits. Unfortunately, the business of our Huangshi Zhai in Baoling City is not very good."

As soon as these words came out, the people who recognized the rock material first echoed, "That's right! Every time I go back to Huangshizhai, I'm usually the only guest there."

"However, if there is a loss, there must be a gain. Because the business of Huangshi Zhai in Baoling City is not very good, this account book is quite frugal," the girl said, and took the second booklet from Xiangli's hand, showing it to everyone, " Huangshizhai's business for several years is only full of one volume, so I also found the volume 37 years ago in the warehouse. It was affected. I found the signature left by the only buyer who bought stones during the Lantern Festival in the first lunar month of that year!"

The girl pointed to the flamboyant signatures on the old account book and showed them to everyone: "The buyer left the word 'Jiang Si'. Everyone knows that Mr. Jiang ranks fourth in the Jiang clan. This 'Jiang Si' The two characters are free and unrestrained. I asked the shopkeeper of Jiafengxuan for an initial appraisal, and it is indeed very likely that it is the authentic work of Jiang Gong. Of course, whether it is true or not, I can ask someone to verify it later."

The biological father of the previous life was also a "Jiangsi", which is really interesting, Jiang Shaoyan thought.

Mr. Jiang San, who was somewhat "sighted" at the side, turned paler when he heard this: the broken rocks must have been carved by Mr. Jiang himself... I am afraid that he will have to spend most of his family's wealth to pay for it.

no!This broken stone must not have been carved by Mr. Jiang.Even if it is, it cannot be allowed to be!
Turning his eyes, the third master Jiang hummed, and said, "Even if Mr. Jiang really bought the stone, and he did send the material, who can be sure that this broken one was given by Mr. Jiang? Maybe Mr. Jiang sent it to you at that time?" Give it away, the head of the literary library looks like a breeze, but actually went out and sold it in secret! After all, Jiang Gong’s things are worth a lot in the year of Dajing [-]!"

Anyway, Mr. Jiang has passed away for many years, as long as you are shameless, cough, no, you can’t scold yourself. In short, no one can guarantee that the stone was sent by Mr. Jiang, right?
