Walking on the bustling streets, Ye Junsheng's pace was very steady. No one could tell that it was his first time walking on the streets of Yangzhou, without showing any panic or surprise; nor did he look around.

For him, even if Yangzhou City is ten times larger and the population is large, it is still a common county town. However, through detailed observation and contemplation, you can understand the differences in customs between Yangzhou and Jizhou, the north and south.

There are differences in clothing, eating habits, language thinking, and even people's skin color and hairstyle. Especially in terms of language, it is the most prominent. People from other places often have flaws as soon as they open their mouths.

Of course, there are not many major obstacles in communication.

After spending more than two hours, Ye Junsheng got a lot of valuable information, which was equivalent to conducting a city survey.

This is because of the fact that in the future, if you are on the list of gold in the future, you have the qualifications to be an official and you often have to obey the orders of the court, and you may be arranged to come to Yangzhou. If you understand something now, it will be of some help.

The future career is not only related to wealth, but also to the wise and wise way of self-cultivation, and cannot tolerate carelessness.

After wandering around the three main streets, Ye Junsheng did not look for the location of the calligraphy and painting shop as soon as possible. Instead, he went to a large teahouse on the street and prepared to drink tea first.

Regardless of ancient and modern times, the teahouses in the city are very lively, with a mixture of religions and dragons and snakes. They are the best place to inquire about customs, culture and information.

As soon as I walked upstairs, the sounds rolled into my ears, and I was talking and talking, as if I was cooking a big pot of porridge, which was so boiling.

"This young master, there is no place outside, can you go to the private room to serve tea?"

Soon, a waiter came to greet him.

In any hotel teahouse or brothel, the eyes of the hall are extremely vicious and the human nature is sophisticated. The waiter immediately knew that such a down-and-out scholar was unwilling to fall into his status and was at the same table with the rude men outside. Secondly, he was short of money but couldn't sit in the private room to have a tea and eat snacks.

Ye Junsheng didn't care, so he suddenly pointed to the south corner and said, "No, isn't there an empty seat? I'll just sit there."

When the waiter saw that the corner of his mouth began to squint, and he responded vaguely for a few words. Seeing someone coming up from downstairs, he simply left Ye Junsheng and welcomed the new guest.

There were a large number of guests, more than ten. There were also slaves and others behind him. Just this pomp, you can tell that it was quite a bit of a big background.

"Dear young men, please feel free to the private room upstairs!"

There is no need to ask at all, and you will know that the other party will not be able to sit outside. If you can't master this, then he, the waiter, is in vain. He asked rashly, but he is afraid he will be scolded.

"Hey, isn't that boy named Ye?"

The group of people had sharp eyes and immediately recognized Ye Jun's birth.

"It's him..."

"Hmph, my enemies are narrow, and I didn't expect this guy to come to have tea too."

"Haha. Did you see that? He actually ran to the pawn peddler at the table. It's really a disgrace..."

The indescribable pride of laughter seemed to finally be able to vent the bad luck that had been accused of for a long time, and I felt very happy.

Scholars are noble and have a long history. If they hold their own identities, how can they sit at the same table with some people at the bottom of the country to eat and drink? If they spread it, even if it is not a stain, it will be a laughing stock.

Gu Wendao's expression was a little gloomy, he glanced over coldly and said, "No matter what he does, let's go into the private room." When he recalled the experience on the boat, he was still worried.

In his position, a beautiful lady is a gentleman, and he has never been abrupt and beautiful woman. He asks about his actions without any mistakes. Ye Junsheng is very good, but he is like a wild dog, biting his mouth. His words are vulgar and he reads the books of sages in vain.

Later, although the second young master Ximen gave face and drove the Ye brothers and sisters off the boat, his heart was still as if he was stuffed with a stone in his heart, and he could not eliminate his depression.

Now he saw Ye Junsheng alone, wearing a thin cotton coat in a cold weather, huddled in the corner of the teahouse, and sitting with the pawns and peddlers, and he was very down and out. Naturally, he also felt proud and very refreshed. However, in addition to his friends in Pingzhou, there were also several old acquaintances in Yangzhou, but they were not easy to act too explicitly, so he just suppressed it.

When they entered the private room, the Yangzhou friends asked curiously. There was no need for ancient questions to speak out, but someone next to them told them. Adding fuel to the fire, the writing style of the spring and autumn is endless, and the story process is wonderful.

In this story, Ye Junsheng's role is extremely disgraceful and has a disgusting face.

After hearing this, several Yangzhou friends were all indignant and kept saying unfairly for the aggrieved Gu Wendao. Looking at the situation, if it were not for the Hadith of "a gentleman speaks but not a man", they would probably rush out and beat Ye Junsheng up to show justice.

Ye Junsheng, who was sitting outside, didn't know about these twists and turns. While drinking tea, he asked people at his deskmates from time to time, and enjoyed himself.

After about half an hour, I sat down and checked in and left.

As soon as he left, the Gu asked the Taoist people noticed and told the owner to know.

"As San and Si, go and see what this guy is going to do? You can get back any news."

Gu asked the order, and the two servants nodded immediately and followed them quietly.

...

Xiliu Lane - the street with the densest calligraphy and painting shops in Yangzhou City. It is covered with blue bricks and is surrounded by green trees on both sides. When people walk in, they seem to be isolated from the noisy and lively world outside, and enter a quiet time and space with elegant style.

It turns out that not only people have temperament, but also streets, and even a certain city. Based on this point alone, we can see that Yangzhou, as a major city in Jiangnan, has a very elegant and elegant style, far surpassing Jizhou and other places.

Jizhou also has streets that sell calligraphy and painting, but the background layout is very different. However, the gap between the north and south of the literary world has always been recognized and is understandable. However, scholars from the north and the south focus on martial arts, and scholars with both civil and military skills are very common. This is better than the talented man from Jiangnan who advocates gracefulness and meticulousness.

However, in the eyes of talented men in Jiangnan, the so-called "both civil and military" is a bit despised. They often disdain for fist and foot skills.

What is the matter of studying people, fighting and killing? If you have a specialty in your studies, martial artists and literati should be in opposition, so where can we confuse them?

There are many Confucian scholars who hold such ideas, which has even affected the direction of the court, thus allowing more scholars to focus more on the old paper piles, only talking about articles and not martial arts.

Over time, the trend of debauchery was prosperous and he admired Qing dynasties.

This is the biggest feeling Ye Jun had when he came to Yangzhou: there is no way to make the country healthy and the singing and dancing are prosperous. It is called "prosperous times", and many things will spread, describing the mainstream of guidance. In the eyes of sorcerers, they are happy and called "lucky".

"In later generations, the corrupt and sour scholars were probably raised in this way..."

Ye Junsheng said in his heart, and did not think deeply, but happened to see a calligraphy and painting shop with a very grand layout called "Henwanzhai", so he walked in.

"This young master wants to buy calligraphy and paintings?"

A servant came up enthusiastically and said with a smile.

Ye Junsheng smiled embarrassedly: "No, I'm here to sell words."

"Well."

The servant swallowed a mouthful of water and became a little lazy: "Please go here to sell the characters." He took Ye Junsheng into the right side door of the store: "Shopkeeper Wu, someone is coming to sell the characters."

The inside was arranged into a small room, with an old man sitting behind a large case in the middle, about 60 years old and had a white beard.

At that time, the calligraphy case was filled with scrolls of calligraphy and paintings, and Manager Wu was watching. He didn't raise his head and said calmly: "Let him stand outside and wait."

As a shopkeeper who works as a calligraphy and painting in Henwanzhai, he has taken over many business throughout the year. He has developed a calm temperament and wants him to greet you enthusiastically unless the sun rises from the west.

The servant was used to it, so he asked Ye Junsheng to wait and went out to greet other customers.

After about a cup of tea, Manager Wu reviewed the calligraphy and paintings at hand, then looked up at Ye Junsheng: "Young Master, come in."

Ye Junsheng stepped in slowly and took out three characters from the calligraphy and placed them on the desk.

Manager Wu did not read the words as soon as possible, but he looked at him carefully first, and soon he got some impressions in his mind.

He asked, "Did you write these three characters?"

There are only two types of characters that come to the store to sell characters. One is self-created, the other is ancestral handed down, and old calligraphy and paintings obtained through other channels.

There is no doubt that the second type of product is relatively higher. After all, if the characters you write are of good quality and have made a name for themselves, how can you still need to condescend to sell your works to a calligraphy and painting store?

“I wrote it myself.”

Hearing Ye Junsheng's answer, Manager Wu showed a hint of disappointment, but he quickly erased: There were many scholars who sold words like this. It can even be said that at least eight out of ten people came to sell words belonged to this category.

, often without other means of making a living. Before getting a good fortune, if your family is not well off, you have to make money by selling calligraphy and painting works, so as to subsidize your family and make a living. Selling characters can also be divided into several levels. The lowest one is sold on the street and has little income; if you are slightly higher, you are selling your works in a calligraphy and painting store, or selling them directly...

A higher-end selling character is to sell a reputation and become a calligrapher, and the price will naturally rise. It is difficult to become famous, and it is difficult to find one of the thousands of people.

Manager Wu reached out to stroke his beard and said slowly: "This store does not easily collect calligraphy and paintings, even if it is consigned, there are certain rules."

Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Your boy knows it naturally. Please take a look at it. If you can't see it, you dare not force it."

Manager Wu coughed dryly. Hearing Ye Junsheng's accent, he should be a foreigner, and he is very young and can write any good words. However, he has to follow the rules of the regulations, so take a look and then send him away.

Thinking of it, I reached out to take a picture of the words and opened it to read.
